Chapter 362: Level 98 (20)_1
Unfortunately, there was no response.
At that moment, a wave of pain radiated from Chu Qin’s chest. He had been seriously injured in the instant the Deepsea Devil Whale King self-destructed!
"Where is this?" Chu Qin wondered aloud.
Because he could not use his spiritual power, he was completely unable to determine his location!
Just then, a streak of golden light flashed to the east of Chu Qin, and soon the golden light arrived beside him—it was none other than his golden trident!
Not only that, encircling the golden trident was a golden-colored Soul Ring, along with a blue skull!
"This is the Deepsea Devil Whale King’s Soul Ring and Head Soul Bone!" Chu Qin exclaimed in surprise.
He had originally thought that when the Deepsea Devil Whale King self-destructed, its Soul Rings and Soul Bones would have disappeared, but unexpectedly, the golden trident had brought them to his side!
"Good, I’ll absorb the Soul Ring first, then go find Xiaowu and the others!"
As he spoke, Chu Qin immediately sat down cross-legged, drawing the Deepsea Devil Whale King’s Soul Ring into his second Martial Soul!
Chu Qin’s body had long been considered invincible under the heavens, capable of absorbing even a million-year Soul Ring, so naturally a 990,000-Year Spirit Ring was no exception!
However, halfway through the absorption, a mass of black resentment appeared above his head, the final vestiges of the Deepsea Devil Whale King’s vengeful power.
"Detestable humans, you dare to dream of absorbing my Soul Ring!" the Deepsea Devil Whale King roared madly at Chu Qin.
"Is that so? There hasn’t been anyone yet who can stop me from absorbing the Soul Rings I want," Chu Qin said calmly with a smile. Then, with a flick of his hand, the golden trident autonomously flew behind him, shining intensely with the Sea God’s Light, as if it were his own Martial Soul.
"The Sea God’s Light might be useful against my physical form, but now I’m just a soul and no longer belong to the sea race. The Sea God’s Light, such soft power, is useless against me!" the Deepsea Devil Whale King retorted.
"Is that so? Thanks for the heads up!" Chu Qin replied, a slight smirk lifting the corner of his mouth as he summoned the golden trident back into the trident mark on his forehead.
Immediately after, a dark red sword reappeared in front of Chu Qin.
The Deepsea Devil Whale King’s meaning was clear: the power of the Sea God’s Light was too gentle to affect him, so a more domineering power was needed. On Soul Land, what power could be more domineering than that of the Asura God, who controlled the Slaughter Force of all creation!
The moment the Asura God Sword appeared, the soul-state Deepsea Devil Whale King felt a profound sense of oppression, "What? You actually possess the blessings of two Divine Powers?!"
"No... no, I don’t want... to die!"
As soon as the Devil Whale King’s last word fell, the Asura Divine Power and Chu Qin’s Soul Power had already completely refined away its last vestiges of resentful power!
In that moment, the Deep Sea Overlord, the Deepsea Devil Whale King, was cleanly erased from existence in the world of Soul Land!
In its place, a nearly golden Soul Ring appeared at the sixth position beneath the Azure Dragon, Chu Qin’s second Martial Soul.
After obtaining the Deepsea Devil Whale King’s Soul Ring, Chu Qin’s Soul Power surged two levels in an instant, moving from level 96 to level 98, just one step away from becoming a true Ultimate Douluo.
Of course, with Chu Qin’s current strength, none in Soul Land, not Qian Daoliu, Poseissi, nor even the departed Tang Chen, could defeat him in a head-on battle!
After gaining the Soul Ring, Chu Qin’s Soul Power was thoroughly enhanced, and his previously frail body recovered.
Chu Qin, looking refreshed and spirited, stood up from the beach. Simultaneously, he opened his palm slightly, and a black hole soul skill appeared in the center of his hand!
Without a doubt, the Deepsea Devil Whale King had bestowed him with a soul skill of devouring, a black hole attribute!
"It’s time to look for Xiaowu and the others!" Chu Qin retracted the soul skill in his hand, "At the last moment, I covered them with half of my Soul Power and the Dragon Bone Shield. They should be alright, right?"
Despite saying that, Chu Qin still felt somewhat uneasy. He unfolded his Eight-winged External Spirit Bone and began searching along the huge beach below his feet.
At first, there was no sign of them.
But soon, Chu Qin noticed a purple figure lying on the sand in front of him!
He immediately teleported over and took a closer look. It was none other than Purple Pearl!
Perhaps due to the overly intense impact, Purple Pearl was lying unconscious on the beach. Furthermore, her purple battle attire was shattered into pieces, revealing large areas of her fair skin. Some key parts were exposed, presenting an enchanting sight.
Seeing Purple Pearl in such a state, Chu Qin’s hormones surged slightly. Purple Pearl’s impressive figure was already captivating, and now she was lying almost undressed before him. For Chu Qin, the impact was fatal!
Luckily, it was Chu Qin who found her. Had it been any other man who witnessed this scene, the consequences would have been unthinkable!
Even so, Chu Qin controlled himself and focused on Purple Pearl’s body instead. It wasn’t that Chu Qin didn’t want to take advantage, but at this time, it was essential to prioritize the greater good.
At the same time, Chu Qin gently said, "Pearl, wake up!"
Regrettably, Purple Pearl did not respond, seemingly at her last gasp.
Fortunately, Chu Qin confirmed that Purple Pearl was still breathing, although her body was extremely cold and covered in red streaks, probably from swallowing too much seawater. Not to mention, the seawater in this region was infused with poison!
Chu Qin immediately poured all the remaining blue liquid into Purple Pearl’s mouth and chose to infuse some of his Soul Power into her body.
Under the detoxifying effects of the blue liquid, the red streaks on Purple Pearl’s body faded, but Chu Qin’s Soul Power only ensured that her temperature did not drop further; it did not wake her up.
"This is bad, the poison is stronger than I expected. I don’t know where Xiaowu and the others are, but with Pearl in this condition, we really can’t fly at high speeds!"
After a moment of thought, Chu Qin took out a tent from his Soul Guidance Container and gathered a pile of firewood, using the traditional method of starting a fire to keep Purple Pearl warm.
He then took out a medicine pot and brewed some detoxifying and body-strengthening herbal concoctions, feeding them to Purple Pearl.
Finally, with Chu Qin’s efforts, a coughing sound came from Purple Pearl’s mouth.
"Pearl, you’re awake!" Chu Qin asked with a smile on his face.
"Lord Chu Qin... where is this? Wasn’t I knocked into the depths of the sea by the Deepsea Devil Whale King’s energy?" Purple Pearl asked, somewhat confused.
"Yes, you were knocked unconscious by the Deepsea Devil Whale King’s energy, plus the poison in the seawater, so your body is very weak. But don’t worry, you’re safe now," Chu Qin replied.
"So, Lord Chu Qin, you’ve saved me once again!" Purple Pearl replied weakly, "Thank you, Lord Chu Qin!"
"What are we if not for each other? Saying thank you is too formal!" Chu Qin replied with a smile, "But Pearl, do you know where Xiaowu and the others have gone?"
Purple Pearl shook her head, "Sorry, Your Majesty, I don’t know!"
"It’s okay," Chu Qin replied with a smile, "You just lie down and rest. I will protect you!"
"Lord Chu Qin, why don’t you leave me and go find Xiaowu and the others first!" Purple Pearl frowned slightly, "They might be in a bad situation too!"
"That’s what I’m worried about!" Chu Qin replied, "But with Er Long and little white by their side, and besides, I can’t just leave you here! It’s alright, Pearl, once you feel a bit better, we’ll go look for them together!"
He had no choice; his assessment was ongoing, and he couldn’t rely on the power of the Flame Spirit Princess or Su Daji!
