Under the illumination of the Sea God's Light, the restless hundred-thousand-year spirit ring of the evil tiger whale king gradually calmed down.
Within the golden light, wisps of black mist seeped out and completely dissipated in the radiance. These were the remnants of resentment from the evil tiger whale king's lingering soul.
As a sea soul beast, whether alive or dead, it could never resist the overwhelming intimidation of the Sea God's Light. Thus, the threads of resentment were thoroughly purified.
Once the resentment was cleansed, the ominous red spirit ring lost its malevolent aura, leaving behind only pure energy.
Unfortunately, Dugu Yan did not yet possess a skull spirit bone, so her spiritual power was somewhat limited. After purifying the resentment, she withdrew the Sea God's Light.
She descended from the sky, and a column of water surged from the sea below, forming a fountain-like structure that cycled continuously. Dugu Yan landed on this fountain, standing on the water as if it were solid ground.
With a determined expression, Dugu Yan said, "What I just used was an ability unlocked after reaching 30% Sea God Affinity. It told me that it's called the Sea God's Light, and this is the true Sea God's Light. Now that the resentment within the evil tiger whale king's hundred-thousand-year spirit ring has been purified, I will definitely succeed in absorbing it."
At this moment, the king of the demonic soul sharks, her eyes filled with fervor, spoke up:
"Please, you must absorb the spirit ring on my back. The process of absorbing a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring can be quite tumultuous. On my back, you'll be as stable as if you were on solid ground, allowing you to focus entirely on absorbing the spirit ring. Moreover, it would be my honor to carry the heir of the Sea God."
Having witnessed the Sea God's Light, the demonic soul shark king was so moved that she willingly offered herself as a mount. Then, she glanced at Chen Yuan, recalling that this battle had only been won because of him. After a moment of thought, she added solemnly:
"In fact, I have a method that can increase your chances of successfully absorbing this spirit ring. For us sea soul beasts, there are two special abilities. First, a hundred-thousand-year sea soul beast can temporarily take on a human form, though at the cost of 30% of its strength. Second, once a sea soul beast reaches the hundred-thousand-year level, its brain undergoes a transformation, becoming a rare treasure."
"If you consume the brain of the evil tiger whale king before absorbing the spirit ring, it will protect your flesh, bones, meridians, and organs, enhancing your ability to withstand the spirit ring's energy and increasing your chances of success."
Chen Yuan gave the demonic soul shark king a slightly surprised look. In the original storyline, this creature had secretly eaten the brain of the evil tiger whale king. Yet now, she was voluntarily revealing this information—perhaps out of fear of him.
Without further hesitation, Chen Yuan used his sword to slice off half of the evil tiger whale king's head. Despite its massive body, the brain was surprisingly small, about the size of a human head. It emitted a peculiar fragrance and had a paste-like consistency.
Since Chen Yuan had essentially killed the evil tiger whale king—with Dugu Yan only delivering the final blow—he had the right to decide how to handle the body. He spoke up:
"Thank you for the reminder, king of the demonic soul sharks. After Yanyan consumes the brain and absorbs the spirit ring and spirit bone, the rest of the evil tiger whale king's body will be left to you. Eating it should bring you some benefits as well."
The demonic soul shark king nodded repeatedly, saying, "Thank you so much! Its body still contains a significant amount of energy. Consuming it will greatly aid my cultivation."
Although she couldn't eat the brain, devouring the rest of the evil tiger whale king's body would still bring her considerable gains. After all, the creature's body was over thirty meters long, and the residual energy within it would not be insignificant.
Chen Yuan then turned to Dugu Yan and said, "Yanyan, go ahead and eat the brain. Then, prepare to absorb the spirit ring. The evil tiger whale king is one of the three overlords of the sea. Its spirit ring won't be easy to absorb."
Dugu Yan nodded firmly. She manipulated the water column beneath her, moving to the location of the evil tiger whale king's brain. Looking at the gelatinous mass, she first scooped a small amount with her finger and tasted it. Contrary to her expectations, it wasn't fishy but instead had a unique, pleasant aroma.
Without further hesitation, Dugu Yan took out a jade spoon from her storage soul tool and began scooping up the brain, eating it spoonful by spoonful.
The brain, about the size of a human head, was quickly consumed. Dugu Yan then retreated, jumping onto the back of the demonic soul shark king. Feeling the energy from the brain integrating into her body, she wasted no time in summoning the hundred-thousand-year spirit ring, allowing it to encircle her before merging into her body.
Boom!
It was as if a mountain torrent had erupted. A terrifying surge of energy rushed into Dugu Yan's body, relentless and unending. Her expression grew serious. Even without the interference of resentment, the sheer force of the energy was overwhelming. The power of the evil tiger whale king exceeded her expectations.
However, she wasn't fragile. The brain she had just consumed acted as a buffer between her body and the incoming energy.
Soon, her body began to emit a golden-red glow. This was the protective effect of the Love-Sick Crimson-Absorption Grass and the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, two immortal herbs she had consumed earlier.
Moreover, her body had been tempered by the Tidal Body Refinement, making it far from easy to overwhelm.
With these three layers of protection, Dugu Yan's absorption of the evil tiger whale king's spirit ring would proceed without major issues.
Outside, Dugu Yan sat quietly on the back of the demonic soul shark king, her body radiating waves of blood-red energy that churned the sea, causing it to boil and ripple outward.
Only the demonic soul shark king, also a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, could remain so stable under these conditions. Any other creature would have fled into the depths of the sea.
Meanwhile, after a strenuous battle, Zhu Zhuqing finally managed to kill the nearly seventy-thousand-year-old evil tiger whale. With Ye Lingling's healing and Ning Rongrong's spirit power and attribute boosts, she quickly recovered to her peak condition.
Seeing this, Chen Yuan flashed over to her. He glanced at Zhu Zhuqing and then at the black spirit ring, saying:
"Zhuqing, you've chosen well. A nearly seventy-thousand-year-old spirit beast is perfect for your seventh spirit ring. It will undoubtedly make your Spirit Avatar even stronger."
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes lit up at the sight of Chen Yuan, and a smile spread across her face. "That's what I thought too. The evil tiger whale is an incredibly powerful soul beast, and with its nearly seventy-thousand-year age, it's the perfect fit for me."
At this moment, Ning Rongrong said with a hint of envy, "Congratulations, Zhuqing! You're finally becoming a Spirit Sage. Unfortunately, these evil tiger whales are too aggressive to be suitable for my seventh spirit ring. I'm not sure what kind of soul beast I should choose for mine."
Chen Yuan chuckled and said, "In this vast ocean, the ones who know sea soul beasts best are the sea soul beasts themselves. Let me ask for you…"
With that, Chen Yuan used his spiritual power to communicate with the demonic soul shark king:
"King of the demonic soul sharks, in the nearby sea area, are there any soul beasts between fifty thousand and seventy thousand years old that are related to gemstone attributes?"
After a moment of thought, the demonic soul shark king replied, "How about the Blood Jade Coral? There should be one nearby, around sixty thousand years old. It's an animal soul beast disguised as a plant. Its true form is the Blood Jade Coral Worm, and the coral is its protective shell. It's a precious gemstone that can fetch a high price in human society."
