Chapter 271: The Deep Sea Demon Whale King Becomes a God.
"Sixth Soul Skill, Scale Shot!"
In the air, Mo Hui transformed into a Mega Gyarados, countless blue-gold scales appearing all over his body. Like a storm, he attacked the massive lightning snake that was slashing down from the sky.
"Beep!"
Elsewhere, Mega Gyarados in his Mega form continuously unleashed air blades and cutting wind wheels to resist the downward calamity.
Mo Hui was speechless as he resisted these rapid lightning strikes.
After realizing that this lightning tribulation was the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's ninth calamity, Mo Hui intended to strike the Deep Sea Demon Whale King dead, preventing him from succumbing to the tribulation and losing his nearly million-year-old spirit ring and spirit bone.
However, Mo Hui had not anticipated the swiftness of the second lightning tribulation, striking just as he was about to dive underwater to deliver the fatal blow.
Forced to do so, Mo Hui helped the Deep Sea Demon Whale King block the second thunder tribulation, but this attempt proved disastrous.
The thunder tribulation not only grew stronger but also more ferocious, even mistaking him for an accomplice of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and attacking him as well.
Mo Hui had no choice but to deal with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's thunder tribulation first, and then return to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King after it passed.
A soul beast's ninth heavenly tribulation is the final tribulation before achieving godhood. It differs from the other eight tribulations in that it involves not only thunder but also human tribulation.
The combination of these two distinct tribulations makes surviving the ninth heavenly tribulation nearly impossible for a soul beast, with a success rate of less than one percent.
Even if a soul beast manages to survive, the divine realm will quickly learn of the soul beast's godhood and send down deities to slay it.
Therefore, unless one can conceal their godhood, achieving godhood on the Douluo Continent is a dead end for soul beasts. Of course, if one is related to someone like Xiao Wu, that's a different matter.
Originally, Tang San was the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's human calamity, but now, with the arrival of Mo Hui, the worldline has shifted, and Mo Hui has become the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's human calamity.
However, in the original novel, Tang San was able to kill the Deep Sea Demon Whale King directly. Tang San's Bodhi Blood was only a secondary factor; the primary factor was the covert intervention of the old Shura God.
Without Shura God's assistance, even with Ning Rongrong's blessing, Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer's eight rings could not directly destroy the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's energy armor. Even the armor wouldn't be damaged, and at most, would only cause minor internal injuries. If the energy armor remained, Tang San's Bodhi Blood would be a complete pipe dream. While Bodhi Blood could somewhat bypass defense, it was ultimately a mortal technique with its limits.
While it was possible to injure the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, killing him with it was impossible.
"How unpredictable things are! I originally came here to kill the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, but now I'm helping him defend against a fatal calamity."
Mo Hui sighed with some regret, thinking that according to the current situation, Mo Hui was the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's human calamity, but due to various coincidences, Mo Hui's human calamity now collided with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's thunder calamity.
This led to a strange situation. Whether the Deep Sea Demon Whale King could survive this ninth heavenly calamity depended entirely on which was more powerful, Mo Hui's human calamity or the thunder calamity. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King, on the other hand, was left out of the situation.
After observing for a moment, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King vaguely grasped the situation and immediately pondered, "Should I seize this godsend opportunity and flee? With my command over the ocean, as long as I'm out of the Sea God's range, finding me will be nearly impossible!"
With this in mind, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King immediately began his attempt, soon swimming far away.
But just as the Deep Sea Demon Whale King thought he was finally out of danger, a massive bolt of lightning suddenly descended, instantly blasting a massive hole through the Deep Sea Demon Whale's energy armor. This scene stunned the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. His energy armor shattered with a single blow! In its prime, his energy armor boasted divine-level defense. Even weakened by Mo Hui's recent attack, it was still arguably the strongest defense under a god.
But for such defense to be punctured by a single bolt of lightning, then...
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King raised his head and gazed at the thunderbolts swirling in the sky, feeling a chill.
Could he truly survive over a dozen thunderbolts per second? Was this a million-year catastrophe, or a fatal one?
Meanwhile, Mo Hui, already hovering above the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, cursed, "Damn you, Deep Sea Demon Whale King! Don't you know this thunderbolt is your own? And you're still trying to run? Do you want to die?"
The intensity of this thunderbolt was such that even Mo Hui, now a powerful being, would have to exert all his might to withstand it, let alone the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
Didn't you see Mo Hui unleashing both of his spirits in combat mode? Even in his recent battle with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King in his prime, Mo Hui had only employed one spirit.
Mo Hui could even say with certainty that he was the only one in the entire Douluo Continent capable of shielding the Deep Sea Demon Whale King from this thunderbolt. Otherwise, even the now-powered Poseidon, Qian Daoliu, and Tang Chen at his peak wouldn't be able to hold out for long.
The power of each thunderbolt strike from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's ninth celestial tribulation reached the limit of anything less than a god. Born from the very nature of heaven and earth, it possessed a subtle divine aura.
Mo Hui faced dozens of such attacks per second.
Without the aid of the Delta Airflow, a force nearly equivalent to the Great Harmony Wind, even Mo Hui would have struggled to block them all.
After over an hour of relentless bombardment, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's ninth celestial tribulation finally ended.
The moment the ninth celestial tribulation ended, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King felt the barrier that had previously held him vanish.
Instantly, a dazzling blue-purple light emanated from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's body. The dual-attribute energy of thunder and water within his body underwent a transformation, transforming from ordinary energy into divine essence.
His divine body, previously at 99%, became fully formed. Simultaneously, he successfully transformed into a dragon, transforming his race from Deep Sea Demon Whale King to Deep Sea Demon Dragon.
Sensed by this transformation, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was momentarily stunned, then suddenly overjoyed.
He has become a god, he has become a god! A moment later, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King raised his head, looked at Mo Hui with pride, and said in a tone that was almost almsgiving: "Boy, in consideration of your helping me resist the ninth heavenly tribulation, hand over your Sea God inheritance to me, and I will give you a chance to follow me!"
