Douluo: When the piano sounds, the hidden weapon returns to the factory

Several days later, guided by the sea god and Feng Yao's own perception of the ocean, they quickly located the area where the Deep Sea Demon Whale King resided—the Demon Whale Sea.

Even before they got really close, a terrifying pressure emanated from the depths of the sea. The seawater here had an eerie dark blue hue, and the sky was filled with dark clouds with wildly crackling lightning, as if warning any intruders.

"Such a powerful aura, far more terrifying than the hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest." Qian Renxue hovered in mid-air, her golden eyes fixed intently on the unfathomable abyss below. After achieving godhood, she could more clearly sense the immense, god-like energy contained within the sleeping behemoth below.

Feng Yao held the Trident of the Sea God with a calm expression: "It has cultivated for nearly a million years and is only one step away from shedding its beast form and becoming a beast god. The Sea God was merciful back then and, considering how hard it had worked to cultivate, only blinded one of its eyes."

He stepped forward and raised the Trident of Poseidon high! Brilliant golden light from the trident erupted from its shaft, like a blue sun igniting in the dim world!

"Deep Sea Demon Whale King! Come out!" The shout, imbued with the authority of the sea god, exploded like thunder, carrying invisible waves as it plunged fiercely into the deep sea!

"Roar--!!!"

The next moment, the entire Demon Whale Sea was in complete uproar! A roar that seemed to come from the ancient times came from the depths of the sea, causing waves hundreds of meters high to rise on the surface of the sea for thousands of miles around! The seawater was stirred up as if by an invisible giant hand, forming a huge whirlpool.

At the center of the vortex, an unimaginably enormous shadow slowly rose. The first thing to appear was a single eye the size of an island, filled with violence, hatred, and endless killing intent, which locked onto Feng Yao, who exuded the aura of a sea god in the air.

Immediately afterwards, its enormous body, comparable to a mountain, fully emerged from the water. Its dark blue skin shimmered with a metallic luster, and its back was covered with ferocious bone spurs. Its mere presence caused the surrounding space to distort slightly.

"Poseidon! It's you again! And that familiar aura! And that little girl who was by Poseidon's side back then!" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King roared with a deafening mental roar. It recognized Poseidon's trident and also sensed the aura that Qian Renxue inherited from her ancestors.

"Today, I will take your life to complete my divine path!" Without any further words, Feng Yao swung the trident of the sea god forward!
"The Golden Thirteen Halberds - Unpredictable Storms!"

Golden halos instantly spread out, attempting to imprison this space and lock onto the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

However, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King roared, its massive body swung violently, and the surrounding seawater seemed to come alive, surging into the sky and transforming into countless enormous water dragons that shattered the golden halo! With millions of years of cultivation, its control over water had reached its peak, and it could even resist the power of the vast ocean from the Trident of the Sea God to a certain extent.

"Angel Realm - Angelic Judgment!"

Qian Renxue acted at the opportune moment, spreading her six wings and summoning twin swords. Endless golden holy light rained down, illuminating the dim world. The power of her holy domain clashed violently with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's domain, filled with ferocity and resentment, producing a sizzling, corrosive sound. Angelic divine power had an innate restraining effect on this evil and violent energy, causing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King to let out a painful roar.

"Level 100!" The fact that Qian Renxue was at level 100 seemed to spur it on. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's single eye turned blood red, and a stream of deep blue seawater, condensed to the extreme, shot through space like a giant spear, shooting towards Qian Renxue! This strike contained its millions of years of cultivation, enough to easily tear apart an ordinary Title Douluo.

"Insolence!" Feng Yao flashed and stood in front of Qian Renxue. The phantom of the Innate Eight Trigrams Plate instantly appeared, and the Kan trigram shone brightly, drawing on the power of heaven and earth to form a thick water wall to reinforce the power of the vast sea.

Boom! The giant spear slammed into the wall of water. Feng Yao groaned and his face paled slightly, but he managed to block it.

"Such a powerful impact! No wonder it's a soul beast that's nearly a million years old!" Feng Yao thought with awe.

"Vast Ocean, Tides!"

Feng Yao once again wielded his trident, drawing upon the tidal power of the vast ocean. The endless seawater transformed into immense water pressure, squeezing towards the Deep Sea Demon Whale King from all directions.

Qian Renxue transformed into a golden streak of light, wielding the Angelic Holy Sword and the Eternal Radiance Heavenly Fire in her hands. With holy flames that purified all evil in the world, she slashed at the giant single eye of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King!

"The current Sea God! You're not even as good as this little girl!"

"Roar!" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King went completely berserk. It opened its abyss-like maw, and a huge ball of dark energy, seemingly capable of swallowing light, rapidly condensed within it, causing the surrounding space to collapse! This was its primordial attack, the culmination of millions of years of cultivation!
Feng Yao and Qian Renxue exchanged a glance, both seeing solemnity in each other's eyes.

"Xue'er, do you still remember the previous test!" Feng Yao shouted, pouring all his soul power into the Trident of the Sea God, the ultimate secret of the Golden Thirteen Halberds flowing in his heart.

Qian Renxue nodded slightly and also raised the angelic divine power to the extreme. Her six wings closed, and her whole body merged with the angelic holy sword, transforming into a golden holy sword that pierced through heaven and earth!

"Twilight of the Sea God!"

"Angel Judgment!"

One blue and one gold, two attacks representing different laws but both reaching the god-level, merged together like two meteors under the powerful gravity, carrying the world-destroying power, and collided fiercely with the all-devouring dark energy ball of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King!
Boom——!!!!!!

An explosion beyond description occurred! In the center of the Demon Whale Sea, it was as if a newborn sun had appeared. A terrifying energy shockwave spread out in a ring, instantly evaporating the vast seawater and revealing the deep seabed! The dark clouds in the sky were completely torn apart, and space shattered inch by inch, revealing the pitch-black void behind!

The light lasted for several tens of seconds before gradually fading away.

The massive body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was covered with horrific, crisscrossing wounds, and blue blood cascaded down like a waterfall, staining a large area of ​​the sea blue. Its single, enormous eye had become dull and lifeless, and its aura was extremely weak.

Feng Yao and Qian Renxue were also slightly out of breath; the attack they had just suffered had taken a heavy toll on them.

"The final blow!" Feng Yao's eyes flashed with sternness. He took a deep breath, and the Trident of the Sea God transformed into an eternal blue light, as if traversing time and space, instantly piercing through the head of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King!

"Awooo—!" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King let out a desperate and unwilling cry, its huge body convulsing violently. Finally, the life force containing millions of years of cultivation was completely extinguished.

Two nearly million-year-old soul bones, shimmering with deep blue light and containing terrifying energy, along with an incredibly massive scarlet soul ring, slowly emerged from its corpse. Feng Yao gazed at the soul ring and soul bones, taking a deep breath. The Sea God's eighth trial was nearing completion.

As the massive body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King finally fell silent, Feng Yao and Qian Renxue exchanged a glance, both seeing the relief in each other's eyes. Without further delay, Feng Yao immediately sat down cross-legged in mid-air, preparing to absorb the million-year soul ring and the soul bone radiating a deep blue light that floated above the whale corpse.

Qian Renxue, wielding two swords and with her six wings outstretched, fully activated her divine domain, acted as the most loyal guardian, protecting Feng Yao in the center and vigilantly scanning the surroundings for any possible anomalies.

Feng Yao composed himself, first guiding the million-year soul ring, radiating a heart-palpitating energy, to envelop himself. A vast, boundless surge of soul power instantly flooded his meridians; even with his peak level 99 cultivation and dual soul cores, he felt a violent impact. He fully activated the Profound Heaven Technique, his dual soul cores spinning like twin stars in the universe at an unprecedented speed, frantically devouring and refining this energy, far exceeding that of an ordinary 100,000-year soul ring.

Just as the soul ring absorption was proceeding smoothly and Feng Yao began to focus his mental energy on the head soul bone, a sudden change occurred!
Inside the mountain-like head of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, something seemed to have been stirred! A highly condensed point of light, radiating a deep blue glow, seemed to break through the constraints of space and ignore physical distance. As if teleporting, it suddenly shot out from the whale carcass's head, heading straight for Feng Yao's brow!

The light was so fast and its presence so subtle that even Qian Renxue couldn't capture it completely in the first moment!

"Watch out!" Qian Renxue exclaimed in alarm. She sensed an extremely pure energy from the point of light, yet it also carried the violent aura of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's origin! She instinctively reached out to swing the Angelic Holy Sword to intercept it.

However, just as the pale blue light was about to touch Feng Yao's brow—

hum!
The Vast Ocean Universe Shield, which had been quietly suspended deep within Feng Yao's sea of ​​consciousness and had already merged with the core of the Trident of the Sea God, was activated on its own! A layer of soft yet incredibly resilient azure light, like the most loyal barrier, instantly covered Feng Yao's entire body.

That dark blue light spot—it was the essence of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, condensed from millions of years of cultivation—the whale pearl!—slammed hard into the halo formed by the Vast Ocean Universe Shield, producing a crisp sound, but it could not break through even a fraction, and was firmly blocked outside.

Seeing this, Qian Renxue's tense mind suddenly relaxed. She understood that this was a contingency plan left by the Sea God, or rather, a protection of the Sea God's power for its inheritor. With the Sea God's original artifact present, the whale pearl could not harm Feng Yao.

She withdrew the holy sword she was about to wield, choosing to trust the sea god, and quietly stepped aside, but her eyes remained vigilant, in case of any further unforeseen events.

The whale pearl, blocked by the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, seemed to lose its initial momentum and become somewhat docile. It circled Feng Yao's body a few times, as if searching for something. Finally, it seemed to be attracted by the dual soul cores within Feng Yao's body, which were operating at full power and absorbing the energy of the soul rings and soul bones.

call out!
The whale pearl transformed into a stream of light, and this time it was not hindered, easily merging into Feng Yao's body.

Once inside Feng Yao's body, the whale pearl seemed to have found its home and headed straight for the area located in the middle dantian (usually considered one of the core energy centers of the human body, located between the upper dantian and the lower dantian).

At this moment, in Feng Yao's upper dantian (sea of ​​consciousness) and lower dantian (sea of ​​qi), the two major soul cores are operating at high speed due to absorbing the energy of the million-year soul ring and soul bone, emitting a powerful suction force and energy fluctuations.

This whale pearl, which embodies the essence of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's millions of years of cultivation, is exceptionally wondrous. It was not directly absorbed by either of the soul cores, but rather cleverly suspended in the middle dantian between the two soul cores.

It began to slowly rotate at a unique frequency, and its rotation subtly resonated with the operation of the two major soul cores above and below!

Meanwhile, the million-year-old soul ring and head soul bone being absorbed by Feng Yao share the same energy attribute as the whale pearl. Under the combined effect of these three shared energies, the whale pearl's rotation becomes increasingly stable, and the energy fluctuations it emits become increasingly harmonious.

It is no longer an external energy cluster, but has begun to deeply integrate with Feng Yao's own soul power system, especially the operating rhythm of the dual soul cores!

Gradually, a new and stable energy vortex formed in the middle dantian, with the whale pearl at its core. This vortex was not an independent soul core, but it was perfectly embedded in Feng Yao's original dual soul core system, forming a stable energy channel and resonance frequency with the upper and lower soul cores.

Three Soul Cores Resonating in the Same Position!
An unprecedented feeling surged through Feng Yao's heart. He felt that although his total soul power had not increased dramatically in an instant, the quality, recovery speed, and efficiency of his soul power had all been elevated to a completely new level! The three major energy cores (upper soul core, lower soul core, and middle whale pearl) resonated with each other, amplifying each other and forming a more stable and efficient energy circulation system!

The whale pearl that was unexpectedly incorporated not only did not cause any harm, but also, by sheer coincidence, helped Feng Yao take a crucial step in condensing a third soul core on the basis of his two soul cores. This laid a foundation for him to break through to the god level in the future that was far more solid and incredible than that of an ordinary Limit Douluo!
Sensing the gradually stabilizing and increasingly powerful aura within Feng Yao's body, Qian Renxue finally felt completely relieved, her beautiful eyes sparkling with excitement. She knew that Feng Yao's gains this time far exceeded expectations. The eighth trial of the Sea God had been successfully completed, bringing unexpected surprises.

Throughout the process of absorbing the soul ring and soul bone, Feng Yao remained highly vigilant, preparing to deal with the possible soul shock—a danger that was almost inevitable when absorbing high-age soul rings, especially those over 100,000 years old. If it weren't for the help of the Sea God, the Crystal Turtle of the Void would have killed him earlier. With a million years of cultivation, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's soul essence and resentment must be terrifyingly powerful.

However, to his surprise, the entire process went exceptionally smoothly. The immense energy of the spirit ring, though powerful, was like water without a source or a tree without roots; it contained no trace of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's consciousness, resentment, or remaining spiritual imprint. Its very soul essence seemed to have been completely purified and erased beforehand.

Feng Yao's mind raced, and he instantly understood.

It's the Trident of Poseidon!

That decisive final blow—"Twilight of the Sea God"—was not merely a physical kill, but also contained the divine will and judgment of the Sea God. As a supreme artifact, the Trident of the Sea God, in the instant it pierced the head of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and destroyed its life force, completely purified and obliterated its immense soul and remaining consciousness, along with the violence and resentment accumulated over millions of years!

What remains are only the purest and most primal energy crystals—soul rings, soul bones, and the whale pearl that was unexpectedly incorporated. These energy entities no longer contain any mental impurities that could potentially backfire on the host.

Having figured this out, Feng Yao felt even more grateful to the Sea God. This not only greatly reduced the risk of absorption, but also allowed him to wholeheartedly guide these pure energies into himself, solidify his foundation, and even coincidentally facilitated the formation of the prototype of the "Co-position Resonance Three Soul Cores".

The entire process proceeded without any further setbacks. As the last wisp of soul ring energy merged into the circulation system formed by the dual soul cores and the mid-level whale pearl, and as the head soul bone completely and perfectly fused with his bones and meridians, emitting a deep blue light, Feng Yao slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes gleamed with a restrained light, his aura profound and imposing. He could clearly feel that his strength had reached a new level. Although his soul power level remained at the peak of level ninety-nine, the power he could mobilize, the quality and recovery speed of his soul power, and his perception of the power of heaven and earth had all reached an unprecedented height.

One of the trials of the eighth test of the Sea God, [Slay the Deep Sea Demon Whale King], has been successfully completed!

Next, he needed to complete his soul bones. He now possessed the Deep Sea Demon Abyss head soul bone, the Guixu torso bone, the Guixu right arm, and the Soft Bone Rabbit left arm. Unfortunately, the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone had already merged into his bloodline, leaving him still missing two soul bones. (End of Chapter)
