Chapter 302: The Deep Sea Magic Whale King's Family
With Yang Xiong's all-out attack, the Deep Sea Magic Whale King's soul power had been completely restricted. If Yang Xiong hadn't held back at the last moment, the whale would have likely been killed.
The Deep Sea Magic Whale King showed a hint of dejection on its face.
"Human, you are even stronger than I imagined. Why not just kill me? Your strength is absolutely capable of it."
"Moreover, you've used such a desperate move, even blowing up your soul rings. After this, you'll likely fall into a period of weakness. Aren't you afraid that I might still have some trump cards? Aren't you afraid I won't admit defeat?"
Yang Xiong didn't look much better at this point. Having destroyed six soul rings in quick succession, there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, and his body ached terribly, as if every bone had been crushed.
However, Yang Xiong didn't care: "Deep Sea Magic Whale King, do you think I don't have any backup? Don't forget, I still have a divine artifact that I haven't used. If I do, you will have no way out."
After saying that, Yang Xiong ignored the Deep Sea Magic Whale King and directly took out several Super Recovery Sausages and ate them.
The Deep Sea Magic Whale King stood there, unsure of what to say. Now, it could either accept death peacefully or attempt to flee desperately. But looking at Yang Xiong's condition, escaping didn't seem so simple, and with the killing aura around Yang Xiong, it was clear that he wouldn't care about the life or death of the enemy. The only ones in danger would be the whale's family.
Yang Xiong laughed: "Deep Sea Magic Whale King, with your personality, you wouldn't break our agreement, would you?"
"Of course, you should understand that soul beasts are forbidden from becoming gods in this world. Even if you do reach the hundred-level, this world will not allow your existence, and the divine realm will not accept you. Only I can truly help you break through your limits, only I can give you the real chance to become a god."
"Most importantly, only I can truly protect your Deep Sea Magic Whale clan. Otherwise, with your unique devouring ability, no human or god will allow your existence."
The Deep Sea Magic Whale King looked serious: "What do you want? If I die, can you protect my family?"
Yang Xiong shook his head: "It's not just a simple matter of life or death. If you sacrifice yourself to me, when I become a god, I can bring you back to life, and you could even become a true divine beast. Isn't that mutually beneficial? Both of us can become gods."
"As for your family, I can find other ways to protect them. I promise that as long as it's within my power, I will try to ensure their safety."
The Deep Sea Magic Whale King thought for a long time before finally gritting its teeth and making a decision: "Alright, I agree. But I want to stay with my wife and daughter for a few more days."
Yang Xiong nodded: "That's fine. By the way, I am the leader of the Body Sect, located in Thunder Canyon. If your wife and daughter are willing, there is a large moat outside Thunder Canyon where they can live. Not only will their safety be ensured, but in the future, you can also meet them regularly."
Actually, Yang Xiong had already thought carefully about how to arrange the Deep Sea Magic Whale King's family. The outer area of Thunder Canyon had a wide river that stretched over a kilometer. It was not only deep but also extended for dozens of kilometers, which was more than enough for the massive Deep Sea Magic Whale to live in.
Furthermore, if the Deep Sea Magic Whale lived solely in the ocean, it would eventually face enemies and be targeted by other gods. It was better to have the Deep Sea Magic Whale King's wife and child live in Thunder Canyon. If anyone wanted to make trouble with the Deep Sea Magic Whale, they would have to face the entire Body Sect.
With Yang Xiong's planning, the Body Sect would never lack titled Douluo or top-tier experts, and it would definitely become one of the strongest sects in history.
As stated in the Asura God's trial, on one hand, one had to acquire soul rings and bones, and on the other, one couldn't leave hidden dangers or unnecessarily kill innocents. This wasn't meant to test Yang Xiong's strength, but rather his choices.
Based on the Deep Sea Magic Whale King's promise, Yang Xiong could absorb its soul rings and bones while protecting its family. This was the most perfect way to pass the trial. For the Deep Sea Magic Whale clan, this was the best possible outcome.
If things continued like this, Thunder Canyon and the Body Sect would become the next Sea God Island-like existence, and the Deep Sea Magic Whale King's wife and daughter would become the Body Sect's guardian divine beasts. This would be a cooperative success between humans and soul beasts.
The Deep Sea Magic Whale King showed hesitation: "Aren't you afraid I'll escape? You should know that the ocean is vast and endless. If I run, no one will be able to catch me."
Yang Xiong smiled: "This is the best solution I can think of for your Deep Sea Magic Whale clan. It's designed for the survival of your family. If you refuse this goodwill, I'm afraid your entire family will die miserably sooner or later."
"The choice is yours. I don't necessarily need your soul rings and bones, but you certainly need my help. This is your future, as well as the survival of your wife and daughter."
The Deep Sea Magic Whale King sighed: "Alright. I've lived for countless years, and besides my wife and daughter, I have no other attachments. My only goal now is to cultivate and become a god. Perhaps this is my last chance."
With that, the Deep Sea Magic Whale King leaped into the sea, transforming into a massive whale and flowing into the deep ocean.
Yang Xiong also signaled, and soon Ning Rongrong and the others flew over.
Now, they were all Soul Douluo-level experts. Although they couldn't fly, Yang Xiong's elder brother, Yang Wei, summoned several Black Iron Swords, and the others followed along.
When Ning Rongrong saw Yang Xiong's condition, with chaotic soul power and a weakened aura, her face showed concern. She could tell he was badly injured.
"Xiongzi, what's wrong? You look seriously hurt."
Yang Xiong smiled: "Rongrong, I'm fine. I just fought with the Deep Sea Magic Whale King. I've won, and everything from now on is under control."
Ning Rongrong was extremely worried: "Xiongzi, don't push yourself so hard. The Deep Sea Magic Whale King is the ruler of the sea, and I've heard even the Sea God Douluo can't defeat him. Why go this far?"
Yang Xiong showed an excited expression: "Rongrong, don't you know me? I've always pursued strength. Today's battle was the hardest and most exhilarating one I've ever fought. Only by clashing with strong opponents can I grow stronger and push my limits."
As Yang Xiong said, the Deep Sea Magic Whale King was the strongest opponent he had ever encountered, even stronger than Qian Renxue. It was truly an Extreme Douluo-level expert, especially with the ability to use the ocean's power, making it nearly invincible.
Yang Xiong had also given his all, using all the moves at his disposal, even blowing up six soul rings, which was a desperate act.
The others, seeing Yang Xiong's condition, didn't say much. Ning Rongrong quickly assisted him, and Oscar made some more sausages.
Feng Xiaotian even took out a small boat from his soul tool, and everyone quietly waited on the boat.
After a full day, enormous waves rose from the sea, and the Deep Sea Magic Whale King's massive body appeared in front of the boat.
Ning Rongrong and the others saw the immense size of the whale and felt the powerful aura emanating from it. Each of them swallowed nervously. The Deep Sea Magic Whale King was truly too powerful, far beyond their reach.
"Yang Xiong, according to our agreement, after I sacrifice myself to you, I hope you will treat my family well and keep your promise."
Yang Xiong pulled out the Asura Demon Sword and raised it to the sky with his right hand.
"Deep Sea Magic Whale King, I, Yang Xiong, swear by my Asura God inheritance. As long as I inherit the divine position, I will bring you back to life. As long as I live, I will protect your family to the best of my ability. If I break this vow, let my divine position shatter, and I will never become a god."
As Yang Xiong's words fell, a blood-red figure appeared in the sky, towering like a deity.
"Agreed!"
The figure spoke a single word, but it was so deafening that it felt like the souls of Yang Xiong's group and the Deep Sea Magic Whale King were being crushed.
The Deep Sea Magic Whale King looked incredibly serious. It understood that the divine position Yang Xiong inherited was the Asura God, and the power of the Asura God was far beyond its imagination. It was countless times stronger than the Sea God that once competed for the divine position.
In the presence of such a god, it had no power to resist. As Yang Xiong said, it was too strong and would inevitably be targeted by others. Becoming a god was something it could never achieve.
At that moment, two whirlpools appeared in the sea, one large and one small. The two Deep Sea Magic Whales appeared on the surface.
The larger one was over 150 meters long, slightly smaller than the Deep Sea Magic Whale King, while the smaller one was only a few dozen meters long.
Yang Xiong's expression changed slightly. These two whales were likely the legendary Magic Emperor and Blue Buddha, two tragic figures of the future.
"Darling, don't leave me!"
"Father, don't leave me!"
Both whales cried out urgently, but their voices were surprisingly pleasant.
The Deep Sea Magic Whale King gazed at his wife and daughter. In his single eye, there was reluctance, no longer the ferocity of a million-year soul beast, but infinite tenderness.
The three Deep Sea Magic Whales swam gracefully in the sea, appearing both elegant and reluctant.
Even though Yang Xiong was used to violence, watching the three whales saying goodbye, he too couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
But Yang Xiong said nothing. Human and soul beast conflict was the rule of this world, and no one could break it. Likewise, no one could change his determination to grow stronger.
