"I've been searching for you for over half a year, and you've finally decided to show yourself. Since I've run into you, don't even think about returning to the ocean depths alive today!"
Luo Nan had no intention of holding back.
This was a super-tier spirit beast with a cultivation age approaching a million years—an entity standing at the absolute pinnacle of the known world on Douluo Continent.
He had finally managed to track it down; if he failed to kill it in one fell swoop and let the tiger return to the mountains, Luo Nan couldn't guarantee he'd ever find it again once it hid in the deep ocean—the difficulty would be immense!
He might never find it for the rest of his life.
Therefore, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had to die!
"Hum—!"
The vast, ocean-like peak Rank 98 spirit power within Luo Nan's body erupted explosively without reservation, and a brilliant golden radiance instantly tore through the dark clouds filling the sky.
"First Spirit: Golden Sacred Dragon!"
"Seventh Spirit Ability: Spirit Avatar!"
Accompanied by a thunderous roar from Luo Nan, a golden dragon of breathtaking, colossal size forcibly tore its way out of the void.
"Roar—!!!" The authentic, overwhelming aura of a high-ranking member of the Dragon Clan—manifesting as a tangible golden storm—bore down fiercely upon the surface of the sea.
A flicker of astonishment and wariness flashed within the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's single remaining eye.
It sensed the aura radiating from the golden dragon in the sky; it was a formidable and terrifying presence—one that, were the creature a true Spirit Beast, would pose a genuine threat to the whale king itself.
*BOOM!*
Without a moment's hesitation, the Golden Sacred Dragon violently beat its massive wings and lunged straight at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King on the water's surface.
With a furious roar, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King violently rolled its colossal body, churning up a wall of water hundreds of meters high that crashed headlong toward the Golden Sacred Dragon.
*CRASH—!!!* "
A dragon and a whale—two colossal beasts, each exceeding two hundred meters in length!
A fierce battle erupted upon the surface of the sea!
Golden dragon claws savagely tore at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's blue hide, which was as tough as refined steel.
Meanwhile, relying on its terrifying mass and the boundless power of the ocean, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King furiously rammed its massive body against the Golden Sacred Dragon.
Each collision whipped up a mini-tsunami on the water's surface, and the terrifying shockwaves compressed the surrounding air, triggering a rapid succession of sonic booms.
Had there been any nearby Spirit Beasts, those with a cultivation age of around ten thousand years would likely have been shaken to death by the mere aftermath of this clash.
However, the tide of battle began to shift before long.
Although the Golden Sacred Dragon held a slight advantage in size and possessed an incredibly noble bloodline, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was, after all, an overlord of the deep that had survived for nearly a million years; the foundation of power it had accumulated in these waters was truly immense.
It could ceaselessly draw upon the power of the entire ocean to bolster itself, and its defensive capabilities were monstrously powerful.
Once the two clashed, the balance of power settled into a ratio of roughly three to seven.
The Golden Sacred Dragon held thirty percent of the advantage, while the Deep Sea Demon Whale King held seventy percent.
Clearly, the Golden Sacred Dragon—manifested independently—struggled to suppress this million-year-old ferocious beast on its own.
Under the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's frenzied counterattacks, fine cracks began to appear in the Golden Sacred Dragon's golden scales, and a note of strain crept into its roar.
Yet, all of this was within Luo Nan's calculations.
Luo Nan's plan was to send the Golden Sacred Dragon in first, then wait for the right moment to strike himself!
He aimed to seize a vulnerability and launch an attack capable of inflicting significant damage on the Deep Sea Demon Whale King in a single blow!
"Now is the time!" "
Just as the Deep Sea Demon Whale King violently raised its massive tail fin to shake off the Golden Sacred Dragon—momentarily forcing the dragon back—its back was left completely exposed to Luo Nan's view!
The black radiance in Luo Nan's eyes surged violently, and an aura of ultimate darkness, capable of devouring everything, erupted from within his body.
"Second Martial Soul: Dark Demon Dragon!"
"Fourth Spirit Skill: Dark True Dragon Break!"
A colossal dragon claw, formed entirely from ultimate darkness and destructive lightning, materialized with a thunderous boom directly above the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
This dragon claw radiated a terrifying energy fluctuation that made one's very soul tremble!
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's keen instincts instantly screamed a frantic warning.
It sensed a terrifying, lethal power looming right above its head!
If that claw struck home, it would suffer grievous injury.
"Woooo—!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King let out a terrified, piercing cry. Its massive body plunged downward as it instinctively tried to dive into the deep ocean to escape this fatal blow descending from the sky.
"Want to run? Too late!"
Luo Nan sneered.
Just as the Deep Sea Demon Whale King prepared to dive, the Golden Sacred Dragon—which had previously been forced back—let out a heaven-shaking roar and lunged forward recklessly!
Its four massive golden claws clamped tightly onto the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's body, while its fang-filled maw sank viciously into the whale's dorsal fin!
Using its own massive frame, the Golden Sacred Dragon entangled the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, forcibly halting its dive and making it impossible to escape!
"Strike!"
"Rumble—!!!" "
That massive dragon claw, imbued with the essence of ultimate darkness and destructive lightning, descended like a divine black sword capable of cleaving the heavens and the earth.
With an unstoppable, crushing momentum, it slashed fiercely across the broad back of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King!
*Riiip!*
The ear-splitting sound of tearing flesh and muscle rang out across the sky.
The power of this strike was truly overwhelming!
Even the hide of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King—reputed to be the strongest defense on the Douluo Continent—was instantly torn open like fragile cloth before the supreme piercing power of the "Dark True Dragon Break"!
A terrifying wound, dozens of meters long and of unfathomable depth, appeared starkly upon the beast's back.
The essence of ultimate darkness relentlessly corroded its body, preventing the wounds from healing!
Such is the terrifying nature of the Ultimate Darkness attribute!
A fountain of dark blue blood erupted skyward, instantly staining the surrounding seawater a shocking, vivid purplish-red.
"ROOOAR—!!!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King let out a scream of agonizing torment.
Wracked by excruciating pain, its colossal body thrashed and rolled wildly across the surface of the sea.
Its single remaining eye was filled with sheer, incredulous horror.
It never imagined that this seemingly insignificant human could unleash such a terrifying attack!
This power, capable of effortlessly tearing through its defenses—this human was the strongest opponent it had encountered in all its long years of existence, surpassed only by that Sea God who once wielded the trident!
Yet, Luo Nan gave it no chance to catch its breath or even think.
"Strike while the enemy is vulnerable!"
To the left, the Golden Sacred Dragon, guided by Luo Nan's will, entered a state of absolute berserk fury.
"Eighth Spirit Ability: Giant Dragon Earth-Shaking Claw!" "
The Golden Sacred Dragon's right claw erupted with blinding golden light and slammed fiercely onto the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's head; the impact made the beast see stars, and its massive body sank abruptly.
