Silver-white flames covered the entire golden soul ring, continuously drawing power from it.
It grew visibly larger at a speed detectable by the naked eye.
"Roar!"
"How did you discover me?"
An incredulous exclamation sounded as a mini phantom of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King emerged from the golden soul ring and fled.
Bossi and the others were shaken, scared by the scene before them.
"It's not dead after all, was Luo Yu right?"
"Damn, it was hidden too deep."
Everyone tensed, ready to counterattack at any moment.
However, before they could act, Luo Yu had already made his move, his sword light flashing in his palm.
The Zhu Tian Sword appeared and accurately pierced through the mini phantom of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, nailing it firmly to the ground.
"Don't!"
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King roared furiously, twisting its body desperately, but to no avail.
"Save it, you were no match for me at your peak, let alone now," Luo Yu mocked with a cold laugh.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King gave up struggling.
Glaring angrily.
"And you still say you're not the Sea God?"
"The strength of a mortal's divine spirit simply couldn't detect my stealth technique."
Upon hearing this, Bossi and the Seven Great Pillar Protectors all turned their gazes towards Luo Yu, their expressions filled with an indescribable meaning.
Luo Yu was at a loss for words.
"Hey, this guy may be stupid enough to mistake someone else, but surely you aren't suspicious too?"
Bossi didn't speak, her beautiful eyes focused.
The Sea Dragon Douluo muttered to himself, "Damn, now I understand why this guy is abnormally strong. Is it because the Sea God has descended to the mortal world?"
"I've finally realized why this guy is so young yet so terrifyingly powerful," the Sea Horse Douluo said, his eyes sparkling with excited and thrilled light, as if he had discovered some great secret.
"Losing to the Sea God, we have no shame," the Sea Dragon Douluo said with a smile, his eyes squinted.
The Sea Illusion Douluo looked at Luo Yu with a face full of reverence and longing.
"Respected Sea God, please acknowledge your identity. We are your most devout followers."
Luo Yu felt his face stiffen.
How do these people believe everything they hear?
God damn Sea God.
Would the Sea God kiss his female followers?
Nonsense.
"Please, could you use your brains? Do I look like the Sea God to you?"
The crowd paused upon hearing this and then nodded seriously, speaking in unison, "You do."
"Oh..."
Luo Yu was now utterly speechless.
How could he possibly explain clearly to this group of people?
"How could you not be the Sea God? Apart from the Sea God himself, who else could make the Divine Artifact Trident so excitedly cooperative?"
The Sea Dragon's eyes gleamed with wise light, as he believed he had seen through it all.
Why the Sea God's Trident would be so affectionate and submissive towards a mere mortal, the answer was obviously only one, this is the true Sea God.
At that moment, even Bossi's heart wavered.
It seemed like what the others were saying made sense.
Apart from the Sea God himself, who else could make the Sea God's Trident this agitated and obedient, which mortal could manage to disdain the position of deity?
If he himself was the Sea God, then everything would be explained.
But then, why had he repeatedly verbally bullied her before, even making a move to kiss her?
Was the Sea God testing her loyalty?
Bossi covered her red lips, her beautiful eyes wide with realization, as if everything made sense.
Luo Yu saw how the others looked at him with reverence and awe.
It was like being speechless had given speechless an open door, and speechlessness had come home.
At that moment, he felt a gentle tug at his clothes.
He saw the gentle girl Bai Xiuxiu beside him blinking her long curling black eyelashes, looking at him expectantly.
"Brother Yu... are you... are you really the Sea God?"
Luo Yu glared.
"You believe it too?"
"I... I... do believe it a bit," Bai Xiuxiu said weakly: "Aside from the Sea God, probably no one could have made Xiu Xiu transform in just one night."
The shadow of the pinned-down Deep Sea Demonic Whale King let out a jeering cackle.
"Sea God, you have finally been seen through by me, now reveal your true face without delay."
"Being outsmarted by the Sea God, I guess I died with no injustice."
"Shut up."
Luo Yu stepped on the face of the mini Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
And twisted his foot viciously twice.
Seeing this guy just made one's anger churn for no reason, why act like the smartest in the room, now it caused everyone to misunderstand.
Seeing Luo Yu tread upon the soul of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King without care, everyone's eyelids twitched.
Their gaze became even more resolute.
Sea Dragon Douluo's face was full of fawning admiration, "Aside from the Sea God, who else could trample upon this deep-sea overlord, this peerless ferocious beast so freely."
"Praise the Sea God."
Luo Yu frowned, not feeling any internal injuries, so why was his stomach so uncomfortable.
"Ah!!"
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King desperately struggled, its illusory body bursting forth with dazzling black light.
"A king may be killed, but never insulted."
"I will fight you to the bitter end!!"
Luo Yu glanced sideways and snorted coldly:
"Thinking of self-detonating?"
"Have I allowed it?"
With one hand, he lifted the Nine Heavens Execution Sword, his wrist flipping with speed like a flickering shadow.
"Clang, clang, clang!"
The sound of the sword resounded, with sword qi crisscrossing.
The shadow of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King couldn't prepare any defense and its body was pierced with hundreds of sword holes in moments.
The entire shadow deflated like a burst ball.
All the gathered violent aura rapidly declined, unable to complete its self-detonation.
"Sea God, Sea God!"
"You are shameless."
"I curse you to fall from your divine status, to meet a terrible death."
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, until its dying moment, still let out a sinister curse.
Luo Yu sighed.
He felt no impact from the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's curse.
After all, you're cursing the Sea God, what does that have to do with me, Luo Yu.
He raised his hand to retract the Zhu Tian Sword, commanding the silver-white flames to completely devour the soul of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
The small silver-white flame which had turned into a large fire now, completely devoured the golden soul ring and the soul.
And quickly began to grow.
Witnessing all this, the crowd felt it was somewhat surreal.
Sea Dragon Douluo shook his head, "A deep-sea overlord of nearly a million years, such an old sly fox, just gone like that?"
"No matter how cunning the old fox is, it could never be a match for our Sea God," Sea Horse Douluo said with a smile, loudly.
"Wow, you're already licking boots?" Sea Dragon Douluo teased with a laugh.
"Roll!"
Luo Yu didn't care about what they were saying on their side right now.
After devouring the golden soul ring and the soul of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, the silver-white flames underwent a dramatic change.
What once seemed like a flame that could be extinguished at any moment now shone exceptionally bright and dazzling.
The temperature around rapidly began to decline.
"Swoosh!"
The silver-white flame flew back onto the golden Fire Lotus in midair, its size quickly shrinking, continuously pouring the recently absorbed energy into the Golden Lotus.
"Swish, swish!"
The two seeds on the golden lotus platform began to shake, undergoing a transformation.
One was milky white and the other was sea blue.
