"Deep Sea Devil Whale King."
Xu Ran's voice was sonorous, stirring the waves as an endless aura of beastly dominance pressed downward.
"Who is it?"
In the distance, the colossal body of the Deep Sea Devil Whale King measured over two hundred meters, its entire body shimmered with a sapphire-like hue. His head bore two gigantic eyes, each over three meters in diameter. One of them was blind, a wound inflicted by Sea God Poseidon.
Startled, the Deep Sea Devil Whale King opened its huge eyes and gazed at Xu Ran in astonishment.
It summoned its aura, and the terrifying presence of a million-year soul beast burst forth. The myriad of smaller soul beasts in the vicinity suffocated on the spot, while the remaining ones fled frantically, escaping from the Devil Whale Sea Area.
"A million years?"
"The Deep Sea Devil Whale King is actually a million-year soul beast?"
Little White and Bai Xiuxiu looked ahead in terror at the massive beastly silhouette, feeling the horrific Soul Pressure emanating from the mighty whale.
That aura, the intense scent of a supremely ferocious beast, far surpassed their own.
They had always known the Deep Sea Devil Whale King to be strong. From the time they were born, he had been present in the Devil Whale Sea Area. In the Deep Sea, he was a legend; everyone knew of his formidable power, but no one ever dared to provoke him.
Even though they had hardly ever seen the Deep Sea Devil Whale King, his mere mention would change colors in the Deep Sea.
The Evil Demon Orcas had previously rampaged far and wide under the leadership of their killer whale king, whose temperament was brutal and bloodthirsty. But even they dared not trespass onto the territory of the Deep Sea Devil Whale King.
And yet, it had never crossed their minds that the Deep Sea Devil Whale King could be a million-year soul beast!
A million years of "Cultivation Level"!
My God!
To have cultivated to a million years in this era, what a monstrous feat!
A hundred-thousand-year soul beast was already considered top-tier, yet the Deep Sea Devil Whale King had quietly cultivated to a million years...
"Hmph. So it's just you two little sharks," the Deep Sea Devil Whale King snorted coldly, looking down on Little White and Bai Xiuxiu with disdain. As the Overlord of the Deep Sea, he naturally had an exceedingly high opinion of himself.
"Now, even two little sharks could finish you off," Little White retorted with a tender snort. With Xu Ran by her side, she felt very secure.
What was the Deep Sea Devil Whale King, even as a million-year soul beast, before Xu Ran?
Xu Ran didn't even regard gods in high esteem.
The Deep Sea Devil Whale King had yet to ascend to godhood!
"You rely on him, don't you?" the Deep Sea Devil Whale King cast away his contemptuous attitude, his gaze becoming extremely solemn.
He was startled.
He could not see through the man before him.
Standing there, he found himself unable to discern Xu Ran's "Cultivation Level."
He wasn't foolish enough to believe Xu Ran was just a regular person with no "Cultivation Level." How could an ordinary person stand before him in the Devil Whale Sea Area, unharmed?
Moreover, that sensation made him feel threatened.
This was clearly a powerful entity, perhaps one even stronger than himself.
And as a million-year soul beast, although he had not yet become a god, he was just a step away from godhood. On the Soul Land Continent, other than gods, he couldn't imagine anyone else being stronger than him.
"You are..."
"You are that person."
The Deep Sea Devil Whale King's expression changed again. He remembered the aura he had felt before. That aura, towering above his own, was comprised of two mighty presences.
And now, it seemed that he was facing one of those two people.
"You guessed correctly, but there's no reward," Xu Ran said indifferently, looking down at the Deepsea Devil Whale King. Having become powerful, he had grown accustomed to slaughter.
Even though the Deepsea Devil Whale King had not provoked him.
For the powerful, slaughter is just for gain.
As for morality? That's just a plaything for the weak.
"Why? I never provoked you," the Deepsea Devil Whale King roared in anger.
"Provoked? You're not weak either. You should know that often, killing doesn't need a reason. You're too powerful and could threaten the safety of Little White's clan, so I won't spare your life," Xu Ran said indifferently.
Since Little White and Bai Xiuxiu had become his women, it was only right and reasonable for him to help them become the Overlords of the Seas.
He wouldn't leave a mess like Tang San did, with Little White's clan eventually wiped out and Little White herself dying tragically. By killing the Deepsea Devil Whale King and abducting the Demon Emperor and Blue Buddha Child, he aimed for a permanent solution.
"I assure you, I will not make a move against the Devil Soul Great White Shark clan," the Deepsea Devil Whale King pledged, glancing at Little White and Bai Xiuxiu.
He knew it was highly likely that he was no match for Xu Ran.
If Xu Ran truly was the person behind that terrifying aura, he wouldn't stand a chance even if he fought with all his might.
Having cultivated for a million years and being just a step away from becoming a god, he didn't want to die just like that.
The longer one lives, the more one fears death.
"Your assurance means nothing. Only the dead can be trusted to be truly safe," Xu Ran stated coolly. "And I'm not killing you just for the Devil Soul Great White Shark clan's sake."
"With your strength being so formidable, there should be nothing of interest on me," said the Deepsea Devil Whale King with a dark expression.
"Indeed, there's nothing on you. But your wife and daughter are very beautiful," said Xu Ran in a low voice, audible only to the Deepsea Devil Whale King.
"From now on, I will take care of your wife and daughter," Xu Ran murmured.
"You! Shameless!"
Upon hearing Xu Ran's words, the Deepsea Devil Whale King was enraged.
He had never imagined that it would be for such a reason that calamity had befallen him.
Was this the meaning of 'a beauty brings trouble'?
But what angered him even more was Xu Ran's shamelessness. To covet his... shameless!
How could he bear such humiliation?
The massive whale body stirred the endless seas into turmoil, and in just an instant, the Deepsea Devil Whale King was thoroughly provoked.
No matter how much he feared death, how could he tolerate such insult and the coveting of his wife and child?
Little White and Bai Xiuxiu watched from the side, somewhat puzzled as to why the Deepsea Devil Whale King had suddenly become furious. However, they were emotionally charged, watching the scene intently, their eyes fixed on Xu Ran and the Deepsea Devil Whale King.
Such a top-tier battle was not something you witnessed every day.
By observing, they could gain significant insights which would be of great benefit to their future cultivation.
Especially in the case of the Deepsea Devil Whale King, who had reached a million years of cultivation. If they could comprehend his understanding of the sea, they would have a better grasp in facing future heavenly tribulations.
Of course, what's more important was that once the Deepsea Devil Whale King was dead, the prestige of the Devil Soul Great White Shark clan in the sea would truly be established.
Eventually, they would follow Xu Ran and leave the Deep Sea. Once they left, they didn't know when they would be able to return. Since they were with Xu Ran, they needed to serve him wholeheartedly, making it impossible to return to their clan frequently.
With two powerful beings exterminated one after another, the entire Deep Sea would be shaken. Even if they departed, no one would dare to provoke their clan. With the strongest beings of the Deep Sea eliminated, which other clan would have the courage?
