Dark clouds gradually dissipated, anda ray of brilliant sunlight shone across the sea.
The surface shimmered like the morning star, illuminating Lan's icy face.
This was an assassin.
Lurking in the darkness, hunting in the light.
At the most crucial moment, delivering the fatal blow.
Xiaobai stared blankly at the figure before him, and at the corpse of the Evil Demon Killer Whale King at his feet.
"Win... Win, we've killed the Evil Tiger..."
The hundreds of remaining Demon Soul Great White Sharks cheered joyfully.
The century-long feud between the Demon Soul Great White Sharks and the Evil Demon Killer Whale Clan ended.
Lan gazed at the 100,000-year soul ring before him, a thought stirring.
The calm sea suddenly spun violently, forming a vortex.
The corpse of the Evil Demon Killer Whale King was instantly sucked into the vortex, and Lan, transformed into a shark, leaped into the vortex.
"Sister, what is our benefactor doing?"
"I haven't thanked him properly yet."
Xiaobai's younger brother, Bai Ling, looked puzzled.
Xiaobai's expression was slightly solemn as he slowly spoke, "He wants to absorb the Evil Tiger's spirit ring."
"What?!"
"Our benefactor is only a Soul Emperor.
How could he possibly absorb the Evil Tiger's 100,000-year spirit ring?"
"We must stop our benefactor quickly, or he'll explode!"
Bai Ling said anxiously.
The Demon Soul Great White Shark clan always repays favors; otherwise, they wouldn't have established friendly relations with Sea God Island.
Upon hearing this, Xiaobai shook his head.
"He dragged the Evil Tiger's body into the sea to prevent us from attacking him while he was absorbing the spirit ring."
"Going now will only make him more wary, and it might backfire."
"Don't worry, he won't do anything he's unsure of, like breaking the Evil Tiger's domain."
"Let's just wait for him here quietly."
Bai Ling nodded.
He understood Lan's caution.
After all,those who are not of our race must have different hearts.
Nearly half an hour later, Lan, carrying the corpse of the Demonic Killer Whale King, descended at astonishing speed to a depth of six thousand meters!
Pitch black surrounded him, pitch black, unable to see even a finger in front of one's face. Not even light could penetrate.
The world was eerily hushed!
Few soul beasts could survive in such an environment,including the Demonic Great White Shark and the Demonic Killer Whale clan.
The pressure of the six thousand meter deep ocean was enough to instantly crush a ten thousand year old soul beast!
Even a top-tier sea soul beast like the Demonic Killer Whale King, a hundred thousand year old, would not want to stay six thousand meters below.
But for Lan, the pressure of the six thousand meter deep ocean had no effect on him, and he even felt a sense of comfort.
His martial spirit was the Breath of the Deep Sea,an unprecedented sea martial spirit.
It was completely immune to the pressures of the deep ocean!
In other words, the deep sea was his home.
Lan's innate domain, the Deep Sea Domain, embodied the very characteristics of the deep sea!
Within the Deep Sea Domain, opponents would be significantly weakened, while also having to withstand the pressures of the deep sea!
The power of the Deep Sea Domain was truly overwhelming.
The Evil Demon Killer Whale King's Killer Whale Domain was shattered by the pressure of the deep sea!
Of course, Lan's Deep Sea Domain could only fully unleash its power at sea; its effectiveness on land was significantly reduced.
Furthermore,
Lan had only scratched the surface of his Deep Sea Domain.
But Lan had a hunch that if he could truly develop his Deep Sea Domain, perhaps he would be able to unleash his full potential on land.
Of course, that was all for the future.
"Here,"
Lan sat cross-legged on the corpse of the Evil Demon Killer Whale King and began absorbing the 100,000-year spirit ring.
Absorbing spirit rings of higher levels was a common occurrence for Lan.
In the deep sea, absorbing spirit rings was incredibly effective.
However, this time, the leapfrogging of 100,000-year spirit rings involved a significant number of years, and even Lan wasn't entirely sure.
But the opportunity was right before his eyes.
Hesitating would only limit his strength and growth.
Furthermore, being an assassin was a risky profession.
Lan had long since grown accustomed to the darkness.
Without the pain of nirvana, how could one possibly live up to the beauty of rebirth?
Lan, without hesitation, immediately began absorbing the Evil Demon Killer Whale King's 100,000-year spirit ring.
Aided by the Deep Sea Domain, Lan's absorption proceeded smoothly.
But the Evil Demon Killer Whale King's intense resentment constantly assaulted Lan's spirit.
Lan frowned, a flicker of pain crossing his face.
He was grappling with the Evil Demon Killer Whale King's posthumous vengeance.
"Haha, what's that?
Aren't you just like me, a murderer of countless lives, utterly evil, even capable of murdering your own friends..."

The evil killer whale king's teasing voice echoed in Lan's mind.
A vision dawned on him.
In the assassin training camp,a black-haired boy pierced his childhood friend with a sharp knife.
Crimson blood dripped down the blade, and the air was thick with the pungent smell of blood.
"No... no... I didn't mean to... I didn't want to draw my sword..."
Lan loosened his grip, a flicker of fear crossing his face.
His hands were stained with his friend's blood.
"Why kill me... Lan... Aren't we good friends?"
A flicker of resentment crossed his friend's bloodstained face.
"No, I didn't mean to."
Lan's emotions were escaping.
He wanted to explain, but the words faltered.
It was as if countless black tentacles were slowly pulling him into a dark abyss.
Lan struggled,afraid,afraid of the darkness.
Killing his childhood friend with his own hands was a shadow Lan had always been unable to face.
He always tried to avoid it.
Gradually, his movements grew quieter.
"I'm so tired."
Lan slowly closed his eyes.
He didn't want to face it, not even if it meant death.
Forget it.
I owe them my life anyway.
Just ending it like this might be a good thing.
He'd had the same dream countless times.
In it, the companions and people he'd killed would come seeking revenge, torturing him over and over again.
He was truly tired.
Tired of killing.
If he could, he'd give up everything he had: his martial spirit, his identity, his strength.
In exchange for a life of peace.
In a trance, Lan seemed to see a figure slowly approaching him.
Long, golden hair cascading down, her face like an angel's, pouting as she gazed at him.
"Little brat..."
Lan whispered.
She gently raised her hand and hugged him tightly.
"Big brother."
"Did you forget?"
"You told me... to live well..."
"But you have to live well too."
Qian Renxue's face broke into a smile.
Her voice lingered in Lan's ears.
Lan's expression faded.
Time seemed to stand still.
A warm light emanated from the girl, dispelling the darkness around them, and the abyss vanished with it.
Whoosh—the scene shifted.
Five young men stood in front of Lan, all with smiles on their faces.
"Lan, don't blame yourself.
We have never blamed you."
"We hope you can live well with our freedom."
"We are lifelong friends, forever, forever..."
The next moment,the world turned into tiny starlights and gradually disappeared.
Qian Renxue looked at Lan quietly with a smile on her face.
Finally, her figure dissipated along with the world.
"Thank you, little ghost."
At this moment,Lan seemed to have found the ray of light he had been searching for in the darkness.
Lan suddenly opened his eyes, and a powerful aura swept around him!
A bright red soul ring condensed on his body!
The seventh soul ring, completed!
