With the arrival of the God of Fire's reward, Yan's nine soul rings seemed to be injected with new vitality.
The soul power consumed in the battle with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was instantly restored a lot.
The death of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King made the originally turbulent sea surface gradually calm down.
The body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was floating on the sea. The huge corpse was split into two, and a ball of golden mist slowly rose from it.
Beneath the sea, a strange force was quietly surging.
Yan frowned slightly, and his mental power spread out like an invisible net in an instant, penetrating through layers of sea water and reaching the source of that power.
It was the soul bone that was shining with deep purple light from the bottom of the sea.
Yan waved his right hand lightly, and an invisible force pulled the soul bone slowly upwards, and finally it fell steadily into his hand.
This is the torso bone left behind after the death of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
Feeling the tremendous energy contained in it, Yan felt pleasantly surprised.
After all, this is a million-year-old soul bone, which can bring him great improvement.
Yan's gaze was as sharp as a torch, falling on the huge body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, accurately locking onto the treasure in its head.
He knew that there were two treasures in the head of this soul beast, namely the whale pearl and whale brain, which condensed the essence of its whole body.
Yan walked closer and took a look.
The golden paste with a strong aroma is whale brain.
What surprised Yan was that in the middle of the whale's brain, there were two fist-sized beads emitting purple-gold color all over. They were whale pearls.
Yan guessed that this pair of yin-yang complementary dual soul cores (twin whale beads) might be one of the important reasons why the Deep Sea Demon Whale King’s cultivation could reach nearly a million years.
He originally thought that only one whale pearl was left in his brain, and the other one was given to his wife, the Demon Queen, but he didn't expect that both were there.
It seems that I came at the right time and got an unexpected gain.
Yan put all those treasures into the soul guide without hesitation.
At this time, the ball of golden gas that slowly rose from the body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was gradually condensing into a soul ring that was glowing with golden light.
Yan already has nine soul rings and cannot absorb it anymore.
However, he wanted to try to devour it using the Void Devouring Flame.
After obtaining divine power, Yan's soul power recovery speed increased further. In just over ten minutes, he had recovered to his best condition.
Afterwards, he released the Void Devouring Flame, and a huge black and gold vortex instantly enveloped the million-year-old soul ring that was glowing with golden light.
The process of devouring the soul ring was much more difficult than Yan had expected.
That million-year-old soul ring not only contained the lifelong energy of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, but also contained his will and obsession that was close to the level of a god.
The violent energy released from the golden soul ring struggled wildly in the black and gold vortex formed by the Void Devouring Flame, trying to break free from this terrifying devouring power.
The golden light intertwined with the black-gold vortex, and a doomsday scene seemed to appear above the sea, with lightning, thunder, and changing winds and clouds.
Yan clenched his teeth, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
Facing that violent force, he had to concentrate fully and not relax at all, otherwise, once it backfired, the consequences would be disastrous.
Under the suppression of the demigod-level mental power, as time went by, the light of the golden soul ring began to dim, and the strength of the struggle gradually weakened.
In the end, it was completely devoured by the Void Devouring Flame, transformed into a pure energy, and merged into Yan's body.
The energy was so huge that Yan's body trembled.
He immediately practiced Tai Chi techniques, guiding this force to flow through the meridians throughout his body, strengthening every cell and strengthening every muscle and bone.
After absorbing all the energy of the soul ring, Yan used the Void Devouring Flame to devour the body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
The sea surface completely returned to calm, and only Yan was left standing on it. Yan slowly opened his eyes, with unprecedented confidence flashing in his eyes.
"Is this the power of a million-year spirit ring?"
Yan whispered to himself.
He felt that the soul power in his body had undergone a qualitative leap. Not only had the total amount increased significantly, but the quality had also been raised to a new level.
Feeling this incomparable energy, Yan couldn't help but release his martial soul and soul ring.
There seemed to be no waste of the millions of energy, as it was distributed by Yan to his nine soul rings.
The color of the nine soul rings changed again from black, black, black, black, black, red, red, red, and orange-red to black, black, black, red, red, red, red, red, and red gold.
The fourth and fifth rings have both transformed into the one hundred thousand year level, and the ninth ring has even transformed into the one million year level.
Yan's devouring ability was further enhanced, reaching an unprecedented level.
Then, he took out the torso bone from the soul guide and pressed it directly into his chest.
In just a moment, the soul bone was completely absorbed.
At this moment, he could clearly sense that his soul power had broken through the ninety-eighth level.
Yan was very satisfied with this adventure.
Hunting the Deep Sea Demon Whale King yielded huge rewards. Not only did his strength increase greatly, he also directly passed the sixth test of the God of Fire.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly felt a powerful mental detection coming from afar.
Then, a woman and two men appeared in front of him.
The woman was wearing a bright red robe, with long sea-blue hair draped behind her. Her blue eyes were deeper than the sea, and her beautiful face looked about thirty years old.
In her right hand she held a three-meter-long golden scepter, with magic patterns carved all over it.
With her noble and elegant temperament, even the Pope Bibi Dong of the Spirit Hall would be inferior to her.
The two people beside the woman are both Titled Douluo-level warriors.
Feeling the aura of the three people, Yan guessed that they were from Poseidon Island, and that woman was Poseidon Island's high priestess, Poseidon.
The three of them stared at Yan with serious expressions.
They all felt the extraordinarily powerful aura from Yan.
"This young man can actually survive in the Demon Whale Sea. I can't sense the breath of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King here. Could it be..."
Poseidon's eyes were full of shock and confusion.
The two Titled Douluo exchanged looks of doubt and surprise. They did not expect that the young spirit master in front of them would possess such a powerful aura.
"High Priest, could this young man be..."
One of the Titled Douluo hesitated to speak, obviously feeling curious and fearful about Yan's identity and strength.
Poseidon raised his hand slightly and interrupted the man.
She walked slowly forward, and the sea surface was covered with layers of delicate ripples.
"Young man, did you just fight with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King?"
Yan's eyes met Poseidon's, and he instantly felt the unfathomable power and majesty of the other party.
But he was not afraid at all, and said calmly:
"Yes, I have killed it. There is no Deep Sea Demon Whale King in this sea anymore." (End of this chapter)
