Dugu Feng's strength was rapidly increasing. Once he absorbed the Spirit Ring, his Soul Power would surely erupt completely.
"Deep Sea Demon Whale King, show me all the tricks you've got left!"
Dugu Feng laughed triumphantly, sensing that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was already enraged, seemingly brewing an even stronger attack.
In the next moment, Dugu Feng felt the pressure of the seawater squeezing against his body.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King, deep in the ocean, descended close to the seabed, then began thrashing its body wildly, speeding through the water.
It wanted to shake Dugu Feng off.
Besides Lightning Energy, it was even more adept at Water Attribute Energy. Its speed in water surpassed that of a Flying Soul Master in the sky.
Moreover, with its Domain expanded, the vast seawater became the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's ally.
It felt as if the entire ocean was pressing down tightly on Dugu Feng.
Cracking sounds echoed from the surface of Dugu Feng's body.
This made him realize the insidiousness of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King dragging him into the deep sea to fight.
This Million-Year Soul Beast had the words "Deep Sea" in its name, and its ability to manipulate ocean energy was second only to the Sea God.
The power truly exceeded Dugu Feng's expectations.
The weight of the entire ocean was pressing down—what immense Water Attribute Energy!
No matter how strong Dugu Feng was, he could not contend with the entire ocean.
A thought flashed in his mind. He directly dispelled his Martial Soul Avatar, shrinking his body and instantly arriving at the wound on the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's back.
His massive Scorpion Pincers forcefully burrowed inside, pulling Dugu Feng's entire body into the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's interior.
Dugu Feng smirked coldly. Let's see how you deal with this now?
In the blink of an eye, Dugu Feng was no longer visible in the water.
He had burrowed into the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's body.
This time, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was completely dumbfounded. A single careless move had allowed Dugu Feng to get close, and now it could no longer shake him off.
Now, he had even entered its body.
No matter how it thrashed or unleashed Water Attribute Energy, it could no longer harm Dugu Feng.
At this moment, the Tyrant Poison Toxin that Dugu Feng had been continuously injecting into the Deep Sea Demon Whale King finally began to take effect.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King first felt an intense, agonizing stimulation. The pain came not only from its body but also from its spiritual power, causing it to roll frantically several times before managing to stay conscious.
Then, the Devouring Golden Threads' absorption of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's Life Energy reached a critical level, making it feel a profound emptiness.
The Devouring Golden Threads' devouring, the siphoning of Life Energy, was the most fatal.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King finally realized the danger—this enemy had come prepared and truly had the potential to kill it.
Its mind raced, instantly thinking of a solution: Transform into Human.
If it became human, the opponent would definitely no longer be able to hide inside its body.
Thinking it, it acted. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King controlled its body to contract violently at an unparalleled speed.
Its originally two-hundred-meter-long body seemed to become illusory, and soon, it vanished from sight in the water.
Only the humanoid form of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King remained.
This was a middle-aged man with an austere countenance, clad in deep purple battle armor. His entire body was enveloped in energy armor, appearing mighty and imposing, with an awe-inspiring presence.
Dugu Feng was indeed forced out of his body.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was overjoyed. "Let's see how you fight me this time!"
Having taken human form, its body had become much more agile.
With a slight movement of its hands, clusters of purple light spheres densely filled the surroundings, then lined up and whistled as they smashed toward Dugu Feng.
Simultaneously, nine consecutive bolts of lightning densely surrounded Dugu Feng.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King launched an almost saturation attack. Its energy was far too immense, and it believed that even if Dugu Feng could withstand it, he would still need to expend Soul Power. As long as the opponent's Soul Power was mostly depleted, victory would ultimately be its own.
Unfortunately, it had underestimated Dugu Feng's methods.
In human-form combat, Dugu Feng would only be more agile.
Under the astonished gaze of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, the eight wings on Dugu Feng's back actually began to glide through the seawater.
Then, as if flying, the opponent's sharp wings sliced toward the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
A Divine Tool cutting into the nearly Divine Level body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King would absolutely leave wounds on its form.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King retreated violently, while continuously conjuring purple lightning pearls with its hands, intending to attack Dugu Feng through their explosions.
But Dugu Feng paid no heed, charging forward recklessly.
He relied on the seven Core Pearls within his body to withstand these lightning pearls.
Just as the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had retreated over ten meters, its entire body suddenly stiffened and came to a halt.
Between it and Dugu Feng, eight threads extended from within the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's body, instantly connecting to Dugu Feng's eight wings.
It was as if the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was suddenly pulling Dugu Feng toward itself.
The already swift Spider Emperor Wings ruthlessly sliced across the chest of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
"Transforming into a human will only make you die faster!"
Dugu Feng smiled faintly.
When he had earlier burrowed into the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's body, he had naturally left behind one Core Pearl.
At the same time, Devouring Golden Threads were concealed within the Core Pearl.
Their sudden eruption immediately caused the Deep Sea Demon Whale King to suffer a great loss.
Blood splattered in all directions as a deep, bone-exposing wound was carved across the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's chest.
The power of a Divine Tool was still stronger than the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's defenses.
Dugu Feng's movements then became even more brutal.
Relying on the pull of the Devouring Golden Threads, he continuously distanced himself, then dove in to slash.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's expression changed drastically. Clenching its hands into fists and with the continuous appearance of lightning pearls, it struggled to resist.
Yet it still could not prevent wounds from being left upon its body.
Of course, given the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's immense energy, these wounds posed no fatal pressure whatsoever.
Although the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was at a disadvantage, it could still preserve its life amidst Dugu Feng's storm-like assault.
"Having taken human form, your weaknesses are now obvious! Die!"
Dugu Feng shouted loudly, and eight Spirit Rings lit up around his body.
The Fourth Soul Ring, Fifth Soul Ring, and Sixth Soul Ring all simultaneously brightened.
"Icefire Poison Erosion!"
"Spider God's Aid!"
"Eternal Creation!"
Two attack skills and one enhancement skill.
That alone wasn't enough. Dugu Feng also unleashed the Netherworld Curse from his Left Arm Bone. The Netherworld Curse could plunge enemies into a Cursed State, reducing all their attributes by ten percent for three seconds, ignoring all defenses.
Though a ten percent reduction wasn't much, its suddenness was its greatest advantage.
Just like now—the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's defense, speed, and agility abruptly dropped.
This made it even easier for Dugu Feng to seize the opportunity.
The Icefire Poison Erosion and Eternal Creation's attack power struck the Deep Sea Demon Whale King squarely in the chest.
"If you were in your Spirit Beast form, I'd have a hard time finding your Whale Pearl and heart. But now, in human form, you're practically handing yourself over to be killed!
Your weaknesses are far too obvious!"
Dugu Feng knew very well that the battle between them was about to end.
His million-year Spirit Ring was about to arrive.
