Under Lan Fuzi's guidance, Jiang Zhen ventured into the deepest and most mysterious part of the ocean.
The surrounding pressure increased, and the light almost completely disappeared, replaced by an omnipresent and terrifyingly immense oppressive force.
Occasionally, one can see a few deep-sea demon whales, much larger than the whale-like spirit beasts of the outside world, their bodies shimmering with a ghostly blue or deep purple light, slowly swimming in the distance.
Their enormous eyes curiously observed the unfamiliar humans brought by the little princess, but they did not approach, only casting scrutinizing glances.
Finally, a huge underwater mountain range appeared ahead, and in the center of the mountain range stood a magnificent palace constructed from huge corals, whale bones and unknown black minerals!
The hall is rugged and ancient, filled with a wild and powerful aura, like a sleeping giant beast.
This is the royal court of the Deep Sea Demon Whale clan.
Lan Fuzi led Jiang Zhen directly into the massive palace gate.
There was no seawater inside the hall; it was pushed aside by an invisible force, and the air was humid and heavy, filled with incomparably pure marine energy.
On the throne in the grand hall, two figures were quietly waiting for them.
On the throne to the left was a middle-aged man with an extremely burly and imposing physique, nearly two meters tall.
He wore a deep blue suit of armor that seemed to have evolved from his own scales. The armor shimmered with a metallic and gem-like luster, and an energy bead emitting an ominous red light was embedded in his chest.
He had a rugged face, thick, dark eyebrows, and eyes that shone with a sharp light, exuding an imposing aura even without anger.
Most strikingly, his left cheek and jaw were covered with fine blue scales, and a hideous scar ran through his left eye.
This made that eye, though still bright, carry an eternal sense of fierceness and vicissitude.
He simply sat there, yet a faint purple mist and subtle arcs of electricity swirled around him, as if he were the master of the entire ocean, his aura unfathomable.
It is the Deep Sea Whale King!
On the right throne is a tall and slender woman.
She had long, ankle-length, deep purple hair that cascaded down like a waterfall.
Her appearance was extremely beautiful, yet she possessed an inhuman, eerie quality. Her skin was pale, and her eyes were a deep purple, as if they could suck one's soul into them.
Her hands were elegantly folded in front of her, covered with dark purple, mysterious and complex magic patterns, adding to her mystery and eeriness.
Although her aura was not as domineering and overt as that of the Deep Sea Whale King, it was equally vast and boundless, making her none other than the Demon Emperor!
The gazes of the two ocean overlords fell on Jiang Zhen at the same time, their eyes seemingly weighing a thousand pounds, enough to shatter the mind of an ordinary titled Douluo.
Lan Fuzi shrank back nervously and introduced in a low voice, "Dad, Mom, his... his name is Jiang Zhen, he's a human I met in Vast Sea City..."
He said he wanted to talk to you...about a deal.
Facing these two figures who stood at the pinnacle of Douluo Star, Jiang Zhen remained calm and stepped forward with neither arrogance nor servility, bowing slightly and saying, "This humble one, Jiang Zhen, greets the two seniors."
The Deep Sea Whale King narrowed its intact right eye slightly, and its deep, resonant voice, like muffled thunder from the seabed, echoed throughout the hall:
"Human... a mere Soul King, what brings you to my palace? And what right do you have to discuss 'business' with me?"
His tone carried an undisguised scrutiny and suspicion; if his daughter hadn't brought him, he wouldn't have bothered to speak at all.
The Demon Emperor's purple demonic eyes also quietly watched Jiang Zhen without saying a word, yet they seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
Jiang Zhen straightened up, met the Deep Sea Whale King's gaze with composure, and slowly said, "A... high-stakes gamble concerning the future, which may break the cycle of fate."
"A high-stakes gamble?"
The Deep Sea Whale King's lips curled into a mocking smile. "You think you can make me gamble?"
"Yes!"
Jiang Zhen spoke with certainty.
With a slight thought, his soul power circulated throughout his body, and the aura of the ultimate water martial soul spread out. Immediately afterwards, five soul rings far exceeding the norm rose up from beneath his feet!
Purple! Purple! Black! Ice blue! Red!
The moment that last 100,000-year soul ring, crimson as blood and radiating overwhelming ferocity and boundless energy, appeared, the air in the entire hall seemed to freeze!
The gazes of the Deep Sea Whale King and the Demon Emperor instantly froze on the blood-red soul ring. With their cultivation levels, they instantly sensed that familiar yet repulsive aura!
"The Evil Spirit Orca king?!"
For the first time, the Deep Sea Whale King's voice carried obvious surprise. He sat bolt upright, his scarred left eye seemingly twitching.
"You... killed it at level 50?!"
Even the Demon Emperor's usually calm purple eyes were now rippled with intense emotion, and his gaze toward Jiang Zhen completely changed.
A level 50 warrior defeating a 100,000-year-old soul beast—what an astonishing feat!
This can't be described as just being gifted; it's practically monstrous!
" Jiang Zhen, he'll be ten years old in a month or two. He's a level 59 Battle Soul King, and his Martial Soul is Ultimate Water."
Jiang Zhen calmly reported his information, each word like a heavy hammer blow to the hearts of the two overlords.
A Soul King under ten years old?! A Soul King with Hundred Thousand Year Soul King?! Ultimate Attributes?!
Even the Deep Sea Whale King, who had lived for nearly a million years, was now experiencing a storm of emotions!
He had never heard of anything so outrageous!
"so what?"
The Deep Sea Whale King suppressed his shock, his voice becoming even deeper and carrying a dangerous undertone.
"Your talent is indeed unparalleled throughout history, but what does that have to do with me? And what does it have to do with your 'high-stakes gamble'?"
Jiang Zhen's gaze sharpened as he stared directly into the Deep Sea Whale King's injured left eye, saying each word clearly, "My talent is enough to support me on an unprecedented path to godhood! Not by inheriting a divine position, but... by creating my own divine position and wielding the laws!"
"At that time, my achievements will surpass those of that sea god who relied on faith and blinded you with a harpoon!"
The words "Sea God" and the description of "blinding eyes" were like the sharpest thorns, instantly piercing the deepest scars and humiliations in the heart of the Deep Sea Whale King!
The purple mist surrounding him suddenly surged violently, and a terrifying pressure pressed down on Jiang Zhen as if it were a tangible force, causing the entire palace to buzz!
"Are you looking for death?!"
The voice of the Deep Sea Whale King was as cold as ice that had stood for millennia, and it was filled with murderous intent.
Lan Fuzi turned pale with fright and almost rushed forward.
However, despite the overwhelming pressure, Jiang Zhen remained upright. His [Abyss Soul Devouring Whisper] soul bone skill activated automatically, protecting his mental sea. He continued speaking with difficulty but clearly:
"However! The rules of the divine realm have locked away the path for soul beasts to become gods! You have cultivated diligently for nearly a million years, and your body is 99% transformed into a divine body, yet you still cannot take that final step!"
Are you willing to accept this?
"Don't you want revenge against the sea god? Don't you want to break free of these damned shackles?!"
These words, like a thunderclap, cleaved the fury of the Deep Sea Whale King, revealing the helplessness, resentment, and longing that had accumulated over millions of years!
The oppressive aura paused slightly.
The Deep Sea Whale King stared intently at Jiang Zhen, its single eye flashing wildly.
The Demon Emperor slowly stood up, the purple demonic runes on her hands glowing faintly, her expression extremely solemn.
"so…"
The Deep Sea Whale King's voice was hoarse; he seemed to have guessed something, and he slowly asked.
"You mean...?"
Jiang Zhen took a deep breath and uttered the earth-shattering core of the deal with a resounding voice:
"Therefore, before I become a god, I need your help! I need your... all-out help!"
The hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop; the atmosphere was so heavy it was almost palpable.
The Deep Sea Whale King leaned forward slightly, its enormous shadow looming over Jiang Zhen. Its voice was low and dangerous as it pressed him, enunciating each word clearly:
"For example…"
Jiang Zhen raised his head, his gaze meeting the enormous single eye without fear, and clearly and firmly stated his ultimate goal:
"I need your spirit rings..."
