"Xiao Bai, run!" The other hundred-thousand-year Demon Soul Great White Shark was the Demon Soul Great White Shark King Xiao Bai's husband.
He too had witnessed the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's terror ten thousand years ago. Seeing the approaching thousand-meter horror, his sharp instinct told him that even together, he and his wife were no match.
This Deep Sea Demonic Whale was far larger than the one that had turned its body divine ten thousand years ago.
They had no chance back then, let alone against this stronger one now.
"Come for revenge?" Xiao Bai showed no panic and ignored her husband's urging to flee.
She knew escaping this Deep Sea Demonic Whale in the ocean was nearly impossible.
She decisively released unique demon soul waves, urgently summoning the clan.
With her penetrating call, all Demon Soul Great White Sharks in the Demon Shark Sea rushed toward her.
Thousands of figures shuttled through the water, all over ten thousand years old, including several hundred-thousand-year leaders.
To face this aggressive Deep Sea Demonic Whale, the clan mobilized nearly all elites.
"We can't escape; it's locked onto me. But with the Sea God Temple here, we have a fighting chance."
As the strongest, Xiao Bai sensed the divine consciousness locking her first.
A Deep Sea Demonic Whale with divine consciousness and a near-divine body had strength rivaling a level-100 true god.
Against such power, their only hope was the painstakingly built Sea God Temple below, borrowing its Sea God divine power for a slim chance.
Fortunately, over the years, they'd diligently gathered faith for the Sea God, retaining his protection.
Otherwise, in the vast sea, escape was impossible.
"Deep Sea Demonic Whale, I never thought another existed in this ocean. You dare show yourselves again!"
Xiao Bai stared gravely at the approaching whale as the underwater Sea God Temple sensed the crisis, emitting blue-gold mysterious light.
"In the past, I wouldn't dare appear rashly. But do you really think a mere temple can stop me? It's time you pay for your past actions."
The Demon Empress coldly eyed the glowing temple below, sensing the Sea God's divine power, her eyes surging with endless resentment.
She then turned to Xiao Bai, killing intent nearly tangible.
It was this seemingly weak Demon Soul Great White Shark King who, with the Sea God, cruelly killed her husband and devoured his whale pearl.
"You all deserve to die!"
The Demon Empress's roar thundered like rolling thunder, carrying endless fury and hatred, echoing with a massive whale cry.
Instantly, purple-black light erupted from her colossal body, sweeping the sea like a tidal wave.
Simultaneously, countless thick lightning bolts poured from the sky like doomsday.
"Lightning, submit to me!" Bolstered by the Herrscher of Thunder's power, the Demon Empress controlled storms and lightning at will.
Lightning's might amplified infinitely in the vast sea.
In moments, the Demon Shark Sea fell into raging thunder-storm chaos.
Countless marine creatures died instantly in the terror, unable to react; the once-vibrant area turned deathly silent.
"Despair Beam!" In crisis, Xiao Bai united the clan to unleash the powerful mental soul skill, Despair Beam.
A silver-white beam shot like a blade toward the Demon Empress's massive body.
Upon impact, a strong mental shock erupted, staggering her.
However, empowered by the Herrscher of Thunder, the Demon Empress had condensed divine consciousness, just a step from level-100 true god.
The mental shock only briefly halted her.
Under raging thunder, amplified by seawater, hundreds of Demon Soul Great White Sharks were charred instantly, acrid burnt smell filling the air.
Seeing her clan suffer heavy losses, Xiao Bai hesitated no more, decisively activating the Sea God Temple to wield its mighty Sea God divine power.
Instantly, blue-gold divine light shot skyward like a brilliant meteor from the underwater temple, blooming radiantly.
Hundreds of kilometers of sea were enveloped in this blue-gold light, releasing the Sea God's supreme divine might.
Any intelligent sea soul beast instinctively fled upon sensing it.
The Demon Shark Sea had become lethally dangerous; approaching meant death.
…
"Huh?" Bai Xiuxiu, far from the Demon Shark Sea, glanced back and saw the dazzling divine light rising.
As clan princess, though young and somewhat childish, she knew the blue-gold light's meaning.
She was familiar with this power; her playful self was always scolded by her mother when nearing the Sea God Temple.
Now, with this power surging from the temple, Bai Xiuxiu—innocent but not foolish—realized the clan faced grave crisis; otherwise, her mother wouldn't use it.
Worried for her parents, fear and anxiety filled her. Without thinking, she turned in panic, swimming desperately back.
…
As the Sea God divine power gathered, the calm sea surged wildly.
Countless waters, drawn by some force, aggregated into a thousands-of-meters-tall giant.
The giant held a water-blue trident, resembling Sea God Tang San.
Towering imposingly, the giant thrust the trident with thunderous force at the Demon Empress.
The trident cleaved the sky, creating deafening sonic booms, as if tearing space.
This terrifying strike far exceeded the Ultimate Douluo level, capable of sinking a small island.
Facing the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan's ultimate trump card—a Sea God clone summoned from ten thousand years of stored divine power—the Demon Empress roared in fury.
She swiftly deployed her Deep Sea Domain, turning surrounding waters into a massive vortex like an indestructible shield before her.
The thousand-meter water-condensed trident carried immense weight.
This devastating strike tore space effortlessly, shattering the seemingly unbreakable vortex, then slammed heavily into the Demon Empress's body.
With an earth-shaking boom, waves rose hundreds of meters; the sea trembled like in a massive earthquake.
The Demon Empress let out a shrill wail, blood spraying from her mouth, dyeing the sea red. Her massive body flew like a broken kite, crashing into the depths.
"Did it work?"
Xiao Bai's face was pale as paper; summoning the Sea God clone had drained her immensely.
Though Sea God divine power was mighty, it wasn't theirs; each use exacted a heavy toll.
"Careful!" Unlike the drained Xiao Bai, her husband sensed the lurking danger in the depths first with sharp perception.
He unhesitatingly rammed her aside.
He himself was pierced by a massive thunder spear shooting from the deep.
Thunder ravaged his body, destroying tissues and meridians mercilessly.
With a boom, seawater parted as the human-formed Demon Empress soared from the depths to the thundercloud-filled sky.
Disheveled, with blood at her lips and a frosty pale face, she was clearly gravely wounded by the Sea God clone's fatal strike.
Yet, she didn't retreat.
That strike had exhausted the Sea God divine power; Xiao Bai couldn't unleash another soon.
Enduring pain, she flew high, raising her hand with fingers spread.
Instantly, endless thunder gathered toward her.
Above her head, it formed a thousands-of-meters-diameter purple-black thunder orb.
