Under the gaze of Zhu Ziyang and the others, a dark blue whale, nearly two hundred meters long, burst out of the water.
Its appearance was not much different from the previous Deep Sea Demon Whale; the only difference might have been its size.
Compared to this Deep Sea Demon Whale, the 500,000-year-old Deep Sea Demon Whale was like a cub.
"This!" Zhu Ziyang looked at the Deep Sea Demon Whale in shock and exclaimed, "A 900,000-year-old Deep Sea Demon Whale!"
After the Deep Sea Demon Whale clan reaches 100,000 years of cultivation, its body length increases by ten meters for every 100,000 years of cultivation gained.
This Deep Sea Demon Whale, over 190 meters long and nearly 200 meters, must have a cultivation of over 900,000 years!
"How is this possible?" Snow Empress and Ice Empress were also greatly shocked. "Is the Deep Sea Demon Whale so favored?"
Evidently, they all thought of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King from ten thousand years ago, killed by Sea God Tang San, the so-called Million-year Spirit Beast Deep Sea Demon Whale King, which had left a deep impression on them!
"Now is not the time to be puzzled by this!" Zhu Ziyang also thought of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King from ten thousand years ago, but he was not in the mood to delve into the relationship between them.
He said, "Let's first properly deal with this Deep Sea Demon Whale King!"
A 900,000-year-old Spirit Beast was no longer something they could handle alone.
Upon hearing Zhu Ziyang's call, the Soul Spirits immediately understood his intention and nodded in agreement.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King had no intention of letting Zhu Ziyang and the others discuss countermeasures.
She only wanted to kill these foolish guys who dared to injure her daughter.
So, she let out a roar, and a hexagram array immediately appeared on her head.
A purple-gold beam of light shot out from the hexagram array, emitting terrifying pressure, rushing towards Zhu Ziyang and the others.
Facing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's proactive attack, Zhu Ziyang immediately counterattacked.
The Pacifying Life-Reaping Scythe fiercely swung out a golden blade light, which accumulated Ultimate Light and collided with the purple-gold beam of light shot by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, immediately causing a terrifying explosion that instantly boiled the surrounding seawater.
Demon Empress, Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and Second Shuang were not idle either.
As Zhu Ziyang counterattacked, they also moved simultaneously, unleashing Yellow Spring Finger, Emperor Sword, Ice Empress's Pincers, and Dragon King Claw, all striking the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's massive body.
"Ah!" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King immediately let out a pained scream, her body struck by the attacks of the four Soul Spirits.
This made her not only furious but also realize that she could no longer maintain her true form in battle.
Without hesitation, with a flash of purple light, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's massive body disappeared, replaced by a woman in a purple luxurious dress standing proudly in the air.
The woman's face was cold, her purple eyes filled with disdain and anger, and she parted her red lips to say, "Who exactly are you? I, Demon Empress, do not kill nameless nobodies!"
"Demon Empress?" Zhu Ziyang was stunned, not expecting the Deep Sea Demon Whale King to have this title.
However, he didn't pay too much attention to it, as it was normal for a 900,000-year-old Spirit Beast King to have a title.
He said, "Why so much nonsense?"
He didn't hesitate; the Pacifying Life-Reaping Scythe was raised to the sky, and his third Spirit Ability was unleashed.
Countless meteors tore through the void, smashing towards Demon Empress.
Demon Empress, Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and Second Shuang, seeing this, also simultaneously attacked Demon Empress.
Demon Empress, seeing Zhu Ziyang's arrogance, was also momentarily stunned.
She immediately raised her hands, and purple-gold airflow emanated from her body, then rapidly spun, forming a giant, high-speed rotating vortex.
The vortex possessed a powerful gravitational pull, actually drawing in every single meteor from Zhu Ziyang's third Spirit Ability.
Immediately after, Demon Empress waved her hands, and these meteors scattered like falling flowers, flying towards the Soul Spirits, Demon Empress, and Snow Empress.
Demon Empress and Snow Empress, being agile, easily dodged these light meteors and approached Demon Empress.
Then, they attacked simultaneously, Demon Empress striking Demon Empress's right side, and Snow Empress striking her left side, one from the left and one from the right, instantly making Demon Empress show a look of fear.
Demon Empress immediately retracted her hands, one to the left and one to the right, to block the attacks of Demon Empress and Snow Empress.
To be honest, Demon Empress could underestimate Zhu Ziyang, as she only sensed the realm of an ordinary Titled Douluo from his aura.
However, she absolutely dared not underestimate Snow Empress and Demon Empress; these two, one 800,000 and one 700,000, were absolute dominant existences whether on the sea or on the continent!
She couldn't understand where these two top Beast Kings came from, and why they would obey that human youth's command.
If they could be used by her, it would undoubtedly be of great help to her plan, but it was a pity!
While thinking this, Demon Empress pushed back Snow Empress with one hand, and with the other hand, instantly conjured a purple-gold fin blade, fiercely slashing at Demon Empress.
Demon Empress was greatly shocked and immediately took a step back, dodging Demon Empress's blade slash.
Ice Empress and Second Shuang were not idle either.
After Demon Empress pushed back Snow Empress and Demon Empress, an extremely cold beam of light shot towards her abdomen, and a giant iceberg also rose from beneath her feet.
Demon Empress was busy parrying Demon Empress and Snow Empress, completely unprepared for the attacks of Ice Empress and Second Shuang.
Therefore, Ice Empress's extremely cold beam of light struck her abdomen; although the immense impact did not cause substantial damage to her, it still forced her back a few steps.
Second Shuang's iceberg followed close behind, thrusting up sharply from beneath her feet, instantly freezing her within it.
The temporarily controlled Demon Empress would then suffer a series of blows from Demon Empress, Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and Second Shuang.
Zhu Ziyang chose to idle on the sidelines of the battlefield, waiting to deliver the final blow.
Although that Demon Empress was a 900,000-year-old Demon Beast, she had not yet reached a million years.
There was a gap between her and Demon Empress and Snow Empress, but the gap was not insurmountable, and furthermore, it was four against one, how could they not win?
Demon Empress evidently realized this point.
After being surrounded and attacked by the four Soul Spirits for a period, she was injured and understood that she could not continue like this, so the idea of retreating arose in her mind.
Thus, she fought and retreated, gradually approaching the sea surface.
Once in the sea, it would be her home ground, and whether to continue fighting or retreat would become much more flexible.
Honestly, she greatly regretted actively leaving the sea earlier to fight in the air.
If they had fought in the sea, these four traitorous Spirit Beasts in front of her would not have been her opponents at all.
It was truly a miscalculation!
Zhu Ziyang constantly monitored the battlefield situation, detected Demon Empress's intention, and a smile appeared on his face as he coldly said, "Want to leave? Too late!"
Without hesitation, Zhu Ziyang's ninth spirit ring flew out from behind him, and the Pacifying Life-Reaping Scythe immediately glowed with a grayish-white light.
A gray sphere appeared in the center of the ring blade, constantly accumulating energy and slowly expanding, finally merging tightly with the ring blade.
The gray sphere also turned black, and as Zhu Ziyang's hand holding the Pacifying Life-Reaping Scythe moved slightly, this black sphere immediately flew out.
The sphere's speed was neither fast nor slow, swaying up and down, showing no sign of threat.
But it was this black, swaying sphere that easily approached Demon Empress.
By the time Demon Empress noticed it, it was already less than half a meter away from her.
Demon Empress's heart immediately sank.
Just as she tried to swat the black sphere away, it suddenly changed, rapidly expanding at a speed that left Demon Empress dumbfounded.
It quickly expanded to the size of a person and, in doing so, enveloped Demon Empress within it.
Pacifying Life-Reaping Scythe's ninth spirit ring, first Spirit Ability, Life-Ending Dark Sky!
The black sphere continued to expand.
Demon Empress, Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and Second Shuang quickly retreated backward, leaving enough space for the black sphere to expand.
Before long, the black sphere had expanded enough to accommodate Demon Empress's true form.
Black airflow swirled around the edges of the black sphere, and all the surrounding seawater was also tinged by this black airflow.
Death and darkness became the dominant colors of this sea area.
About a quarter of an hour later, the black sphere shattered, revealing Demon Empress inside.
At this moment, Demon Empress had already returned to her true form, covered in wounds, her aura extremely weak.
The anger in her eyes was replaced by fear, and she gazed at Zhu Ziyang weakly and helplessly.
Life-Ending Dark Sky is a single-target control-type Spirit Ability that can trap an opponent in a space composed of Death and darkness, continuously extracting their life force and spirit power.
If the opponent is weak, they might even be directly trapped to Death within it.
Demon Empress's current state was precisely this; her life force and spirit power had been extracted by Life-Ending Dark Sky by nearly seventy percent.
She was extremely weak; without one or two hundred years of recuperation, she probably wouldn't be able to return to her peak.
Therefore, at this moment, she had only one thought: escape, the farther the better.
However, Zhu Ziyang had no intention of letting her go.
Although Demon Empress's abilities and attributes did not align with his, the value of a Spirit Beast's spirit ring that exceeded 500,000 years of cultivation already surpassed considerations of attributes and abilities, let alone a 900,000-year-old Spirit Beast.
Just right, his Heavenly Frost White Dragon King Spirit still lacked a spirit ring, and this Demon Empress was an excellent choice.
Thinking this, Zhu Ziyang had the four Soul Spirits, Snow Empress, surround Demon Empress to prevent her escape.
He, himself, held the Pacifying Life-Reaping Scythe, preparing to deliver the final blow to this 900,000-year-old Demon Empress.
Demon Empress looked at Zhu Ziyang walking towards her and closed her eyes as if resigned to her fate.
"Please, don't kill my mom!" A Blue-haired girl suddenly appeared in front of Demon Empress's massive body, spreading her hands to shield Demon Empress behind her, crying out to Zhu Ziyang with pleading eyes.
This suddenly appearing girl had fresh blood on her right shoulder; clearly, she was the 500,000-year-old Deep Sea Demon Whale that had escaped earlier.
Facing the Demon Whale girl's plea, Zhu Ziyang's face was solemn.
He did not reply, and could not reply, because at the instant the Demon Whale girl appeared, the other shore flower mark on Zhu Ziyang's forehead flickered.
He immediately sensed a mysterious presence appearing in this sea area.
As if to confirm his words, an indescribable voice entered his ears: "For my sake, please spare this ungrateful beast!"
