The onlookers who were observing from a great distance were stunned.
Gazing at the astonishingly handsome youth shielded by divine light, intimidating the world, they were so shocked they couldn't speak.
It had been too quiet for far too long.
When Luo Yu withdrew his fist, the black Domain belonging to the Deepsea Devil Whale King disappeared, and a circle of ownerless golden soul rings slowly emerged in the air.
Accompanied by a dazzling black orb.
A chorus of sharp intakes of breath arose from Bossi's side.
The Sea Horse Douluo felt it was outrageous.
"Killed, the overlord of the deep sea, really killed by this guy?"
"And he was beaten to death with just two punches? Am I freaking dreaming here?"
The Sea Dragon Douluo swallowed hard, his expression more colorful than ever.
"This… this…"
"Just gone in two punches?"
"Isn't this a purebred con artist? What happened to the promised three punches?"
Bossi also did not expect the battle to end so quickly; from the moment this man started fighting seriously until now, he had only thrown two punches, right?
Did he just kill the Deep Sea Demonic Whale outright?
She had been skeptical, but with the soul rings and soul bones of the Deepsea Devil Whale King bursting out in mid-air, could there be any doubt left?
Bossi's plump red lips also formed an O shape.
In that instant, she truly admired Luo Yu to the point of prostration.
So strong.
Too strong!
Can such combat power really be achieved by humans?
Luo Yu did not pay too much attention to the shock of the others, as his mental energy probed the entire area.
His pupils flickered with Purple-Gold Divine Light.
Living for so long, it would not be surprising if the soul beast possessed some sort of trick to feign death.
It was still better to be cautious.
He wasn't afraid of this creature's revenge, but that didn't mean the people he cared about weren't.
After scanning around, he confirmed there was no trace of the Deepsea Devil Whale King's presence.
Luo Yu's eyes relaxed, and he looked in another direction.
He raised his hand and beckoned.
"Trident, come!"
The hundred-zhang-long colossal Sea God's Trident, protecting Bai Xiuxiu, flew out from the sea.
Bai Xiuxiu's delicate body once again fell into the man's embrace.
And the Sea God's Trident swiftly shrank, obediently flying back into Luo Yu's hand.
Its surface glimmered with golden light.
"Brother Yu… Brother Yu…" Bai Xiuxiu's sweet and pure voice rang in Luo Yu's ear.
"What's the matter, Xiu Xiu? Were you scared just now?" Luo Yu asked with a smile, looking down.
He appeared completely unfazed by the fierce battle he had just experienced, exuding an easy grace.
"No… it's just that I felt…" Bai Xiuxiu hesitated a bit.
"Felt what?"
Bai Xiuxiu's snow-white pretty face suddenly turned rosy.
"I just felt... Brother Yu, you looked really handsome."
"So strong."
"How strong?" Luo Yu's lips curled into a smile.
Bai Xiuxiu's beautiful eyes glittered with adoration and fascination.
"So strong that Xiu Xiu can't even describe it."
"But…"
"But what?" Luo Yu asked.
Bai Xiuxiu said with a giggly smile, "But Brother Yu, you're such a big liar, you said you would defeat that guy with three punches, yet you only threw two."
Luo Yu sighed helplessly.
Shrugging, he said, "That's not my fault, I thought it could withstand the third punch, who would have thought it'd evaporate into thin air with the second punch."
"It's not that I'm unsportsmanlike, if there's anyone to blame, it's just that it's too weak."
"Pfft!"
Bai Xiuxiu couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Brother Yu, I'd give you full marks for this show of swagger."
"In the entire ocean world, probably only you could say that the Deepsea Devil Whale King is a weakling."
"That Deepsea Devil Whale King might as well have died of anger and come back to life if it hadn't been beaten to nothingness by you."
Luo Yu shook his head.
"Come back to life?"
"Who told you this guy was dead?"
"Ah?"
Startled exclamations echoed around.
Bossi thought the battle was over and hurried over with others, just in time to hear Luo Yu's words.
Bossi asked, "This guy's Soul Ring and soul bone have both burst out, isn't he as dead as can be?"
"Yeah, these soul bones and Soul Rings obviously aren't fake." Sea Dragon Douluo couldn't help but swallow hard as he looked at the peculiar Soul Rings and the powerful soul bones.
Soul bones of hundred-thousand-year soul beasts could be considered the most precious treasures in the human world.
What about the soul bones of a nearly million-year soul beast?
Their value was beyond imagination.
Even a few cities could not be exchanged for it, truly a priceless treasure.
As for the value of this golden Soul Ring, it was even more incalculable.
"Brother Yu, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King should be completely dead by now," Bai Xiuxiu confirmed.
Luo Yu gave a faint smile.
"If it were any other soul beast, it would undoubtedly be dead at this point."
"But this Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, well, it has some tricks up its sleeve and cannot be judged by common sense."
"Ah?" Bai Xiuxiu shuddered.
Bossi repeatedly asked, "So where is it hiding, did it escape during the explosion just now?"
Luo Yu looked over at the golden Soul Ring which he had yet to touch.
"Far in the sky, close in front of the eyes."
"This... this can't be possible, it's so big, how can it hide inside a Soul Ring?"
As Sea Horse Douluo expressed his doubts, his figure quickly shifted, instantly putting distance between himself and the golden Soul Ring, as if the Soul Ring were a fearsome tiger.
"If you think it's impossible, then what are you running so far away for?"
Sea Dragon Douluo let out a mocking voice.
Sea Horse Douluo cursed, "Don't talk about me, you dare to still stand there, don't run towards me."
"Cough cough cough." Sea Dragon Douluo laughed awkwardly, "Since Luo Yu the Great Ancestor mentioned the Soul Ring is peculiar, then it must be peculiar."
Everyone now turned their gaze towards Luo Yu, waiting for his next explanation.
Because none of them could sense anything off about that golden Soul Ring.
Luo Yu snorted coldly, "Are you rolling out yourself, or should I help you?"
The golden Soul Ring remained motionless.
Doubt flickered in everyone's eyes, and Sea Horse Douluo hesitated, "Could we have been wrong, it's just an ordinary Soul Ring, what bad stuff could it hide?"
The corners of Luo Yu's mouth twitched upward.
"Then you try touching it."
"Don't be afraid, just a touch will do."
Sea Horse Douluo instantly shuddered, shaking his head like a rattle-drum.
"Forget it, forget it, not showing off means not dying."
"At my age, not doing foolish things means living a few more years."
"Eh..."
The other Pillar Guardians all sent him disdainful glances.
Sea Horse Douluo glared back at each of them.
"Don't laugh at me, if you dare, then go probe it."
"Forget it…" Everyone refused in unison.
"Alright Brother Yu, stop keeping us in suspense," Bai Xiuxiu coquettishly twisted Luo Yu's arm.
Luo Yu was straightforward, stretching out a move, and the Golden Fire Lotus appeared in his hand.
Twenty-five Lotus Seeds presided within, along with a silver-white flame.
The silver flame flew out, and the temperature around them instantly dropped,
As if it was about to freeze.
"Go, eat that thing."
The silver-white flame, as if communicating with Luo Yu's mind, excitedly covered the golden Soul Ring.
"Whirl!"
The silver-white flame burned the golden Soul Ring.
The golden energy was quickly absorbed by the flame.
At first, it was very calm.
Then came a roar filled with anger, confusion, and disbelief.
"Damn it!"
"How did you notice me?"
"Ah!"
A mini-version of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's shadow desperately wriggled out of the golden Soul Ring.
This scene left everyone gaping in astonishment.
