"..."
As these words fell, everyone's expression turned grim, and their hearts grew heavy. They could not be blamed for this reaction; after all, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was the undisputed overlord of the ocean. Even Bo Saixi herself was not his match.
It could be said that the current Deep Sea Demon Whale King was the absolute strongest existence in this vast sea.
Looking at the colossal figure that resembled a mountain of flesh, Davis couldn't help but furrow his brows in secret. He had originally thought that this Fourth Trial would be quite simple—and until now, it had been—but he never expected to encounter a monster like the Deep Sea Demon Whale King here.
"Damn it, why is the Deep Sea Demon Whale King here..."
Davis was puzzled. He glanced at Anna, who was currently absorbing her eighth Spirit Ring beside him, and murmured to himself, Although I don't know why the Deep Sea Demon Whale King has come here, there is no doubt about one thing: it is coming for Anna!
Thinking of this, Davis hurriedly shouted, "Senior Xiao Bai, we will hold off the Deep Sea Demon Whale King here! You hurry back to Sea God Island and ask Senior Bo Saixi to come save us!"
"It's impossible!" Xiao Bai shook her head, her face full of helplessness as she explained, "This place is too far from Sea God Island. A round trip would take at least eight or nine days. Besides, you know the rules of Sea God Island: once on the island, you cannot leave! Even Lord Bo Saixi cannot break this rule!"
"Even if the heir of the Sea God is in danger, she cannot leave Sea God Island to provide support?"
"Correct!" Xiao Bai nodded heavily. Although she desperately hoped Bo Saixi could come to help, she knew that Bo Saixi would never violate the rules of Sea God Island.
"Humph, what a group of inflexible people..."
Davis couldn't help but grumble. Gazing at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, who was now less than five hundred meters away, a scorching intent to battle ignited in his eyes.
"Since we can't count on them, we can only rely on ourselves!" Davis paused for a moment before continuing, "Zhu Yun, Zhu Qing, and I will be responsible for stalling the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. Sister Yuehua, you and Senior Xiao Bai stay here and protect Nana.
"Given Nana's talent, it shouldn't take more than two hours for her to completely absorb the Evil Spirit Orca King's Spirit Ring. Once she's done, we leave immediately!"
"Alright! Davis, we're counting on you!" Tang Yuehua nodded slightly and immediately released her Ruyi Ring Martial Soul, bracing herself for combat.
Although the enemy was a million-year Spirit Beast, she believed in Davis's strength. Even if he couldn't defeat the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, he wouldn't be easily killed by it either.
"I will have my clansmen cover you!" Xiao Bai said. Under her arrangement, one hundred adult Devil Spirit Great White Sharks lined up in a uniform formation, responsible for covering Davis and the other two as they confronted the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
The remaining sharks stayed by the corpse of the Evil Spirit Orca King to protect Anna alongside Xiao Bai.
Meanwhile, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had arrived right before them. Looking at Anna, who was in the midst of absorbing the Spirit Ring, his eyes filled with greed.
Jie jie jie, the heir of the Sea God... As long as I can devour you, I will definitely be able to break through that final step and become a true Demon God!
Ever since learning that Anna was the Sea God's heir, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had been constantly monitoring her. For this purpose, he had even summoned over a hundred Deep Sea Demon Whales with cultivation bases of ten thousand years or more, hiding them in the waters near Sea God Island to monitor the movements of Anna and her group.
He knew that Anna had come to Sea God Island to participate in the divine trials. At the same time, he was very clear that Anna could not stay on Sea God Island forever. The moment Anna left Sea God Island would be the moment he struck!
For this, he had waited bitterly for nearly two years before finally seizing this opportunity!
The moment Anna left Sea God Island, his subordinates, the Deep Sea Demon Whales, had immediately rushed to notify him.
When he arrived, he found that Anna, Davis, and the others were already fighting the Evil Spirit Orca King.
He also saw that Anna's cultivation had reached the bottleneck of rank eighty and that she urgently needed a Spirit Ring to break through.
Therefore, he did not attack rashly. Instead, he used the Evil Spirit Orca pack and the Orca King to drain the Spirit Power of Davis and the others. Only after the Evil Spirit Orca King was dead, and while Anna was absorbing the Spirit Ring, did he decide to reveal himself and swallow Anna whole!
"ROAR—"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King, now close at hand, looked up to the sky and let out a terrifying roar that resounded through the clouds. The pressure he radiated was so shocking that Tang Yuehua was forced to retreat repeatedly, looking at the beast with a face full of horror.
"T-This guy is terrifying. Is this the pressure erupted from a million-year Spirit Beast..."
"Heh heh heh, I'll give you little ones a chance!" Suddenly, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King spoke in human language, addressing Davis and Xiao Bai. "Hand over that little girl absorbing the Spirit Ring to me, and you can scramble! Otherwise, I don't mind turning you all into my delicious lunch!"
"Humph! Impossible!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Davis bluntly rejected the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. He activated his Spirit Avatar and stood in front of Anna. His protective gaze fixed on the colossal body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King as he spoke with righteous conviction.
"Cut the crap, big guy. If you want to hurt Nana, you'll have to step over our dead bodies first!"
"Jie jie jie, good then! Since you are all tired of living, you can serve as the appetizers before I enjoy the main course!"
"KILL!!!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King roared, slicing through the waves as he sped forward with the wind. Despite his body being as massive as a mountain peak, his speed was not slow in the slightest. In an instant, he was right before Davis's eyes.
"Die!"
"Come on!"
Davis circulated his Spirit Power, spreading his Wings of Ice and Fire as he charged headlong at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. His external Spirit Bone claws emerged, armoring his arms, and a flash of golden light streaked across the sky.
"Spirit Avatar: Saintly White Tiger!"
Facing a million-year Spirit Beast, Davis didn't dare to be careless in the slightest. He immediately activated his Spirit Avatar and even used his Spirit Bone skill: Bloodlust Berserk.
His entire right leg shimmered with a faint red light, and for a moment, his speed and strength skyrocketed.
BANG—
In a split second, man and beast collided violently. Davis, flying at full speed, was like a small missile slamming ruthlessly into the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's massive body. A terrifying shockwave erupted, sweeping out in all directions!
The violent impact generated by their collision even affected the surrounding sea area; the ocean surface surged and churned, looking like the precursor to a tsunami.
Behind them, seeing the invisible shockwave rushing toward them, Tang Yuehua simultaneously activated her fifth and sixth Spirit Skills to protect Anna from all angles.
At the same time, Xiao Bai released her Spirit Power, forcibly withstanding the shockwave to prevent the impact from disturbing Anna.
After blocking this violent shock, Xiao Bai's face turned slightly pale. She muttered, "This Davis's strength is truly terrifying. To think he could create such an impact after colliding with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. However..."
Looking at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, who was continuing to close in, Xiao Bai suddenly changed her tone. "The Deep Sea Demon Whale King is a million-year Spirit Beast; he is superior in the end!"
Although more than nine-tenths of Davis's spine had transformed into dragon bone after absorbing the ice and fire energy from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well—increasing the strength of his back a hundredfold—he still broke into a cold sweat facing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King now.
"This Deep Sea Demon Whale King... what immense strength!"
