After preparing for their journey, everyone gathered on the shore.
Shui Wuya, accompanied by Shui Bing'er, and the two Titled Douluo deans of the Huo and Shui Institutes, departed from the island palace. Their mount was a massive ice turtle, a fifty-thousand-year-old beast.
As they left the island on the ice turtle, a fierce wind whipped up towering waves, chasing after Shui Bing'er.
"It's you, little one," Shui Bing'er sighed, extending her hand. The wind transformed into a small bird, about three feet long, landing on her jade-like arm.
"Chirp! Chirp!"
"I'm not abandoning you; I'm just leaving for a while."
"Chirp chirp~"
"Alright, alright, you win."
Shui Bing'er reluctantly agreed to let the ice phoenix accompany them, exchanging a smile with Shui Wuya.
"Bing'er, this is the torso bone of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Titan Giant Ape. You should absorb it," Shui Wuya said, handing her the soul bone he retrieved from his storage soul guide.
This was the very soul bone he had obtained after slaying the Titan Giant Ape.
"Okay," Shui Bing'er responded, a flicker of surprise in her eyes as she accepted the soul bone. She didn't reject Shui Wuya's gesture, understanding that her current strength was still far from his. To better assist him, she needed to quickly enhance her power.
Without delay, Shui Bing'er began to absorb the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone on the back of the ice turtle.
A humming sound emanated from the Titan Giant Ape's torso bone, astonishing the two Titled Douluo deans. Despite their long lives, it was their first time witnessing a Hundred-Thousand-Year-level soul bone, especially one obtained from the Titan Giant Ape slain by Shui Wuya himself.
In about fifteen minutes, under the protection of Shui Wuya and the others, Shui Bing'er successfully absorbed the Titan Giant Ape's torso bone. Her soul power level skyrocketed to the rank of an eighty-level Soul Douluo!
"Thank you," Shui Bing'er said as she slowly opened her eyes, immediately expressing her gratitude to Shui Wuya.
"No need for thanks between us," Shui Wuya smiled, waving his hand. This soul bone had always been intended for Shui Bing'er, and the timing had simply been right for her to absorb it.
Shui Bing'er's increase in strength significantly boosted their chances of successfully hunting the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. Given Shui Wuya's current spiritual power, he couldn't yet teleport the demigod-level Shui Yuanchen directly. If he could, he would have summoned Shui Yuanchen to finish the fight.
For now, he had to rely on his own strength and the secret methods of the Shui family to subdue the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. He wondered who was stronger: the ninety-nine-thousand-year-old Deep Sea Demonic Whale King or the eighty-nine-thousand-year-old Di Tian? He felt Di Tian might be stronger due to his bloodline advantage.
Even the Ten Great Beasts of the future, like the Bear Lord with 460,000 years of cultivation, surpassed the 540,000-year-old Ten Thousand Demon King and the 590,000-year-old Bi Ji, becoming the second most powerful in the Star Dou Great Forest, akin to a lower-tier Di Tian!
If an ordinary Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear could challenge beasts beyond its level, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King was even more formidable.
Despite this, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, a genuine ninety-nine-thousand-year soul beast, was immensely powerful. The upcoming battle would require their full effort, Shui Wuya thought, his gaze growing serious.
After two or three hours, the giant ice turtle carried the four of them into a stormy sea, shrouded in dark clouds.
"Here is the area where the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King is rumored to roam. About ten years ago, fishermen saw traces of it around here," Shui Bing'er said as they arrived in the region.
Hearing this, Shui Wuya nodded thoughtfully. Just then, a sharp, piercing roar echoed from beneath the waves.
"Roar!"
A terrifying aura erupted from the depths, and massive tentacles burst through the surface, encircling the ice turtle that carried them.
"A hundred-thousand-year soul beast!" exclaimed the two Titled Douluo deans, who immediately ascended into the air, unleashing their powers.
Simultaneously, the ice turtle activated a soul power shield, isolating itself from the outside.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
In an instant, the deans struck, repelling the enormous tentacles back into the sea.
"Did it flee?" Shui Bing'er wondered aloud, puzzled by the sudden appearance and disappearance of the tentacles.
Just as she spoke, a massive shadow emerged from the depths, breaking through the surface.
"Roar!"
Another roar sounded as a colossal octopus, nearly a hundred feet long, blocked their path. Dozens of tentacles thrashed wildly, creating a menacing scene under the stormy sky.
In a split second, the hundred-thousand-year soul beast octopus charged towards the ice turtle. The deans were about to act again when Shui Wuya leapt into the air, summoning the Snow Killing Spear.
As the tentacles approached, the power of a ninth-level soul tool erupted, and Shui Wuya's spear unleashed a beam of destructive energy.
"Roar!"
The octopus let out a scream as dozens of its massive tentacles were severed by the annihilating force.
Realizing that Shui Wuya was not a prey it could hunt, the giant octopus attempted to retreat back into the ocean.
However, Shui Wuya was not one to let a threat escape. Despite having only eighty levels of soul power, his spiritual strength far exceeded that of an ordinary hundred-thousand-year soul beast.
In a flash, Shui Wuya's spiritual power surged. Without summoning his five soul spirits, he condensed a seven-colored spiritual flower with his nearly four-hundred-thousand-year-old spiritual power, and launched it at the giant octopus.
"Bang!"
In an instant, a tremendous clash resonated across the ocean. The seven-colored spiritual flower penetrated the octopus's mental world, extinguishing its soul and consciousness on the spot.
With its soul annihilated, the giant octopus's massive body fell lifelessly into the sea.
This sight left the two deans in the sky deeply shaken. Although they knew Shui Wuya had the ability to slay hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, witnessing it firsthand was beyond words.
To think, Shui Wuya was only an eighty-level Soul Douluo! They couldn't imagine the terrifying power he would wield once he reached the Titled Douluo level.
Shortly after, Shui Wuya extracted a hundred-thousand-year soul bone from the giant octopus and returned to the ice turtle's back, standing beside Shui Bing'er.
"Bing'er, this is a right leg bone. You should absorb it as well," Shui Wuya said, handing the newly acquired soul bone to Shui Bing'er.
