"Your opponent is me!"
In front of the Demon Empress, the Snow Empress, clad in white, stood in mid-air, her sword cleaving through the streaks of lightning in the sky. The overcast sky instantly dissipated by half, transforming into a blue blizzard World.
"Ice Snow Maiden?!" The Demon Empress looked at the appearing Snow Empress in astonishment, asking in confusion, "You are the Snow Empress of the Far North. Why aren't you staying in the Far North, but instead running to my ocean to cause trouble? And helping human Spirit Masters fight against your own kind?"
"This Empress was born of Heaven and Earth; I don't have a 'fat-headed fish' like you among my kind!" The Snow Empress had been with Xu Tianyang for so long that her ability to retort had improved. Her single sentence immediately made the Demon Empress's face darken.
"What a sharp tongue!" The Demon Empress sneered, looking at the Snow Empress and mocking, "Don't think I can't tell that your current state is unusual. That human's seventh spirit ring has a connection with you. Although I don't know how you managed it, you still dare to be presumptuous in front of me with your current power."
Behind the Demon Empress, a gigantic phantom of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King emerged, letting out a long, resonant roar; its entire body radiated a blue-violet light.
Wherever the blue-violet halo passed, the air instantly became heavy, making one feel as if they were thousands of meters deep in the sea, with invisible pressure squeezing from all directions.
Whale Domain!
"Do you think you're the only one with a Domain?"
The Snow Empress sneered, also unleashing her Domain to counter it. In an instant, the area spanning dozens of kilometers transformed into a blend of blue-violet and ice-blue colors.
"Emperor Sword: Ice Pinnacle Peerless!"
High in the sky, two graceful figures were engaged in a fierce confrontation. Both were top-tier powerhouses in the Spirit Beast World, their every move capable of shaking the heavens and earth. The aftermath of their battle stirred up raging waves in the sea below... Meanwhile, Xu Tianyang's battle with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was equally intense. At this moment, Xu Tianyang had activated his golden-level Spirit's second awakening, unleashing his million-year Martial Soul True Body.
His mental force directly surged to the strongest level below the Divinity rank, unleashing terrifying mental Spirit Abilities one after another.
However, when his usually invincible mental Spirit Abilities landed on the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, they were like a mud ox entering the sea. Under the opponent's seemingly endless spirit power weakening, they failed to cause him fatal damage.
"Kid, although I don't know where you found a million-year Spirit Beast, or how you managed to absorb it, this only makes me believe even more that by devouring you, I can immediately cross the Divinity-level barrier.
The essence of a million-year Spirit Beast merged with you. It must be wonderful to swallow it."
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's enormous eyes looked at the two golden spirit rings among Xu Tianyang's seven spirit rings, a strong greed flashing in his eyes.
"Go to hell!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King opened his massive mouth, and purple orbs of light appeared within it. Each orb locked onto Xu Tianyang, and the immense energy fluctuations instantly caused the surrounding sea to lose its color. Only the purple within the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's mouth glowed, subtly distorting.
"Screech—"
A piercing sound of rushing air rang out. From condensation to emission, it took only a single breath. Thousands of purple orbs of light, like a meteor shower, smashed towards Xu Tianyang with lightning speed.
Each purple orb of light was composed of water and lightning attributes. Without a doubt, a single one could severely injure a Super Douluo. Now, with so many lightning orbs falling towards Xu Tianyang, their power was enough to destroy the heavens and earth.
Facing this attack, Xu Tianyang's gaze was calm. A faint silver light emanated from his glabella, and then a giant silver eye appeared behind him, precisely the Evil Eye Tyrant.
As the brilliant golden light in his eyes shone, a bizarre phenomenon occurred: the silver eye behind Xu Tianyang began to split. In the blink of an eye, it divided into tens of thousands of miniature Evil Eyes, densely covering the entire sky.
"Evil Eye Gaze!"
Immediately after, rays of Evil Eye Gaze burst forth from each of those Evil Eyes. These rays had no other color; only pure silver.
Dense silver light rays pierced through this space, giving a sense of the World changing color.
"Boom!"
A series of explosions echoed in the air, and even the dark clouds above were scattered by the shockwaves from the energy aftermath, revealing the sun's brilliance.
However, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's eyes darkened. In his perception, not a single lightning orb had landed on Xu Tianyang; all had been intercepted.
"What a technique!"
Even as an enemy, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King couldn't help but praise Xu Tianyang, marveling that a Spirit Saint could fight him to this extent. Xu Tianyang was even more formidable than Sea God back in the day.
"This is as far as we go for now. Next time, I will surely take your spirit ring and Spirit Bone." At this moment, Xu Tianyang, suspended in mid-air, seemed to sense something. He looked at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King indifferently and said.
Upon hearing this, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's face changed, and he immediately roared, "Don't even think of leaving!"
However, a gray magic array appeared beneath Xu Tianyang's feet. Under the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's gaze, the opponent abruptly vanished from his original spot.
The Snow Empress, who was battling the Demon Empress, also disappeared at the same time.
"This is..."
The Demon Empress, in doubt and alarm, unleashed an incredibly vast mental force that enveloped the sea area for nearly a hundred kilometers.
Her mental force had just reached the tangible and substantial realm, all thanks to the Deep Sea Demon Whale clan's domineering talent: devouring.
Like the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger, they could enhance their cultivation by devouring human Spirit Masters or Spirit Beasts, though their efficiency was much lower.
It was precisely by relying on this talent that the Demon Empress and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King were able to cultivate to their current realm, with both spirit power and mental force progressing simultaneously.
After releasing her mental force and failing to detect Xu Tianyang's aura, the Demon Empress, having returned empty-handed, landed on her husband's massive head, saying with a grim expression, "He got away."
"I know!"
"We were both tricked by him. He was deliberately luring us away, stalling for time."
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's low voice emerged. By now, he fully understood that Xu Tianyang had intentionally lured them over to buy time for Yang Yiyi and the others to escape.
Moreover, at the very end, he had sensed an unfamiliar Divinity aura, and the method used was something he had never heard of.
"Besides... a Divinity intervened!"
"What do we do now?" The Demon Empress asked, looking at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King with a grim expression.
At their level, premonitions were extremely sharp. This time, having failed, they knew that the next time they met, the opponent would likely have grown to a point where he could annihilate them.
"The only solution now is for me to break through the million-year mark first," the Deep Sea Demon Whale King said with a cold tone.
"What are you going to do?"
