—------------------—
The enormous body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King floated on the surface of the sea, and a purple-gold spirit ring flew out from its body.
At the last moment, all the Spirit Beast origins that the opponent had devoured merged with it. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King, as expected, advanced to become a million-year Spirit Beast, which saved him a bit of Tianmeng origin.
The million-year origin of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was almost depleted after helping the Snow Empress and Evil Emperor's spirit rings reach the million-year realm, and his first, second, and fourth spirit rings advance to the hundred-thousand-year realm.
Xu Tianyang sat cross-legged on the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's massive body, his Yin Yang Dual Pupils Spirit attached. With a pull, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's million-year spirit ring flew out and landed above Xu Tianyang's head.
Violent, tyrannical, overbearing—various intense emotions filled every part of Xu Tianyang's body. These were the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's lingering resentments.
"You weren't my match in life, let alone your lingering resentment after death!" Xu Tianyang snorted coldly in his heart, and his Slaughter Domain erupted, easily shattering the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's resentment.
As the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's resentment dissipated, the purple-gold spirit ring emitted boundless radiance, completely enveloping Xu Tianyang. Endless energy surged madly into Xu Tianyang's body, and Xu Tianyang's aura suddenly began to strengthen at this moment.
Immediately after, a purple-gold stream of light flew out from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's body. It was a structure resembling a spine, with other bones connected to it.
It was precisely the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's million-year-level torso Spirit Bone.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's torso Spirit Bone was entirely purple and translucent, as if cast from amethyst. Most remarkably, the energy it released formed a small purple vortex, supporting it.
"What terrifying energy. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King truly lives up to its reputation. I wonder how many Spirit Beasts it devoured," the Snow Empress exclaimed, looking at the Spirit Bone that entered Xu Tianyang's body. Only she, as a fellow Spirit Beast, clearly understood the gap between herself and the opponent.
Although their strengths were both at the ninety-ninth-level realm, if the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's profound spirit power was enough to sustain him in battle for ten days and ten nights, then she could only last for one day and one night.
This was the difference between them.
A day later, Xu Tianyang, who had successfully absorbed the spirit ring and Spirit Bone, slowly woke up, exhaling a puff of turbid air from his mouth.
What was astonishing was that this turbid air actually transformed into a terrifying blade, cutting open the calm sea in front of him, revealing a huge crevice.
"It seems you've gained a lot!" the Snow Empress said, looking at the awakened Xu Tianyang, her face visibly more relaxed.
"My spirit power has reached level ninety-six," Xu Tianyang replied softly, but then quickly sighed, "With my current situation, I probably won't reach level ninety-nine in a short time."
As his strength increased, coupled with his profound foundation, the spirit power he needed to advance each level was several, or even dozens, of times that of an ordinary Titled Douluo.
The opportunities on the Douluo Continent that could allow him to quickly raise his level were already few and far between.
"Your current strength is unmatched in this era. Even Di Tian is not your opponent. There's no need to rush; slowly improve, and you will eventually step into the God Realm," the Snow Empress said softly.
Xu Tianyang chuckled, looking at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's corpse, and said, "This is excellent spirit tool material. I wonder if it can be used as a foundation to create the Douluo Continent's first Level 10 spirit tool?"
As he spoke, Xu Tianyang's right palm's external Spirit Bone, the Dark Gold Terror Claw, extended, precisely cutting through the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's cranial outer skin defense.
Although Xu Tianyang did not deliberately nurture this external Spirit Bone, his heaven-defying opportunities, even if only a small fraction, caused this external Spirit Bone's age to continuously break through, easily reaching the three-hundred-thousand-year level.
"Puff!" With a soft sound, a rich and intense fragrance surged out from the opening in the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's head.
Inhaling it, one immediately felt refreshed and invigorated.
Even the Snow Empress beside him showed a slight change in expression, a sense of longing in her heart.
"A million-year-level whale brain is probably unique in the world."
As Xu Tianyang flipped his palm, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's skull was lifted, and a golden light filled the sea.
The whale brain was pure gold, appearing pasty, like melted gold, with an intensely alluring fragrance.
Given the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's massive size, its whale brain was a full square meter, a quantity sufficient for a hundred people to consume.
The effect of a million-year-level whale brain was probably not inferior to precious secondary Immortal Herbs like the Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma. Moreover, if someone awakened a Deep Sea Demon Whale or whale-type Spirit, for them, this was an opportunity comparable to an Immortal Herb.
This portion of whale brain was enough to support a major power for three centuries of prosperity.
However, Xu Tianyang merely glanced past this opportunity, which would drive countless people insane, and his gaze fell on the center of the whale brain, where a fist-sized, purple-gold glowing pearl rested.
Mu En had obtained a similar dragon core ten thousand years later, directly achieving the rank of Level 99 Dragon God Douluo.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's pearl was even more extraordinary. In the original work, it replaced the Sea God's Heart within the Sea God Trident, making it a supreme Darling.
Reaching out to collect the whale brain, whale pearl, and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's massive corpse, Xu Tianyang looked at the Snow Empress beside him and said, "We'll make a trip to Sea God Island. After that, we can begin to resolve the disputes on the continent, preparing for my assault on that realm."
"Honestly, sometimes I really wonder why you bother with all this effort. If you had just inherited the God Positions of the Sea God and Asura God, you would probably already be a God by now," the Snow Empress said, leaning into Xu Tianyang's embrace, her pure, crystal-like eyes looking at him with a wistful expression.
"I'm used to being overbearing, and I don't like the feeling of someone restraining me, so I need the strongest power," Xu Tianyang chuckled, his eyes revealing a domineering will.
Upon hearing this, the Snow Empress looked at Xu Tianyang with gentle eyes. She knew that this also included his promise to her and the others.
She hadn't expected that what had initially been a desperate gamble would soon be realized in just ten short years.
It was truly incredible.
After Xu Tianyang and the Snow Empress departed, the figure of the Demon Empress slowly emerged from the seabed on the distant, calm sea. Her gaze, filled with venom, watched the direction Xu Tianyang had left.
She then transformed into a giant Deep Sea Demon Whale and swam towards the seabed.
She knew her situation would not be good going forward. They had not only offended the powerful clans of the deep sea but were now also being targeted by the people of Sea God Island.
To avenge her husband, she had to endure.
