95: Chapter 95: The Sea God Appears
On the deck, Wang Donger watched the two peerless powerhouses confronting each other in the air, especially feeling the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's terrifying aura rising step by step, and the worry in her heart reached its peak.
She anxiously tugged at Lu Jing's sleeve, her voice trembling slightly: "Lu Jing, what should we do? Senior Snow Empress doesn't seem to be able to handle it, and that guy looks even angrier! Can we help in any way? We can't just watch like this..."
Lu Jing frowned, his brain working at full speed.
How could he not be anxious? But their strength was simply insufficient to intervene in a battle of this level; rushing forward rashly would only make them a burden to Snow Empress.
He had to think of another way.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck his mind, and he seemed to have thought of something.
"Donger!"
Lu Jing turned his head abruptly, looked at Wang Donger, and reminded her: "Quickly take out the Sea God's Heart!"
"The Sea God's Heart?"
Wang Donger was stunned by Lu Jing's sudden request.
"This? What's the use of taking it out now?" Although she was puzzled, she had absolute trust in Lu Jing and immediately took the Sea God's Heart out from her spirit tool.
In her palm, the Sea God's Heart emitted a gentle light, seemingly incompatible with the violent atmosphere of the surrounding ocean.
"Since this is the ocean, and you have gained the Sea God's recognition, it means that the Sea God's power exists within it," Lu Jing explained and analyzed.
The reason Tang San was able to escape from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King in the original story was because of the deterrence of the Sea God's divine sense within the Sea God's Heart.
In fact, if the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had forced the issue back then, unless the Asura God personally intervened in mortal affairs, the Sea God's divine sense alone would never have been able to protect Tang San.
Just like how if he hadn't made a bet with Qian Renxue, even with the delay provided by the Sea God's divine sense, he wouldn't have been able to escape.
Wang Donger nodded gently and immediately asked: "What should I do?"
"Inject your Soul Power into it! Try to communicate with it!" Lu Jing stared intently at the Sea God's Heart and said in a deep voice.
Wang Donger followed his instructions, gathered her Soul Power, and carefully injected it into the blue diamond-shaped object.
At first, the pendant only glowed faintly, but as Wang Donger continued to inject her Soul Power, a sudden change occurred!
"Hum—!"
A slight hum came from the Sea God's Heart, and immediately after, an indescribable, vast, majestic, and unfathomable power, like the deep ocean, was suddenly released from that small diamond-shaped object!
This power was not violent, but it carried supreme authority, as if the will of the entire ocean had descended!
The sea surface, which had been turbulent and boiling under the influence of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's power, instantly calmed down at a visible speed the moment this power appeared!
The strong winds ceased, the torrential rain stopped abruptly, and even the dense dark clouds in the sky seemed to be dispersed by a force, revealing rays of bright sunlight!
With the hanhai ship as the center, a patch of the sea became calm, forming a stark contrast with the still dark and violent environment around it!
Following this, a voice full of majesty, as if it had traversed the ages, slowly emerged from the Sea God's Heart, ringing clearly in the depths of everyone's soul:
"Presumptuous! Deep Sea Demon Whale King, have you forgotten the lesson from ten thousand years ago?! Or is it that you want that only remaining eye of yours to go blind as well!"
This voice was calm, yet carried an unquestionable sense of judgment; especially that last sentence, which exploded in the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's mind like a thunderclap!
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King, who was just about to launch a stronger attack, had his massive body stiffen abruptly. His scarlet single eye instantly widened, filled with disbelief, bone-deep hatred, and... a trace of fear that he could not completely hide no matter what!
That earth-shattering battle ten thousand years ago, that eye blinded by the trident, and that humiliating defeat were his eternal pain and shadow.
"Sea God—!!!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King let out a roar mixed with rage, resentment, and terror, the sound waves rolling and causing the just-calmed sea surface to ripple once again.
He stared fixedly at the radiant Sea God's Heart in Wang Donger's hand, his massive body trembling slightly due to extreme emotional fluctuations.
Snow Empress was also attracted by this sudden turn of events. She restrained the cold air around her, landed lightly back on the deck, and looked with surprise at the Sea God's Heart that was floating up and emitting vast divine power with her ice-blue eyes.
Feeling the pure and powerful sacred aura within it, she instantly realized: "So that's how it is... This is actually a token left in the mortal world by a Divinity, containing its will and power."
Her gaze towards Wang Donger and Lu Jing held a trace of deeper meaning; she hadn't expected these two humans to carry such a trump card.
The next moment, the Sea God's Heart erupted with even more brilliant blue divine light. The light converged in the air, gradually forming a huge, somewhat blurry, yet incomparably majestic figure.
This figure was tens of meters tall, wearing blue divine armor, holding a phantom but still supremely oppressive trident in its hand. Its face was blurry, but those eyes, as deep as the ocean, seemed capable of seeing through everything in the world.
It was the incarnation of a wisp of divine sense left by the Sea God in the Sea God's Heart!
The Sea God incarnation held the trident, pointing it vaguely at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. Although it did not speak again, the invisible pressure was like a ten-thousand-foot deep ocean abyss, firmly locking onto this ocean behemoth.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's single eye was bloodshot, filled with unwillingness and resentment. He confronted the Sea God's phantom, and the surrounding seawater became weird and unpredictable under the two invisible pressures.
He could feel that this was just a wisp of divine sense, not the Sea God himself, but the pure Sea God Divine Power contained within it, as well as the phantom of the trident, made him tremble from the depths of his soul.
The disastrous defeat ten thousand years ago had left a mental demon.
He did not doubt for a moment that if he dared to make another move, this wisp of divine sense would definitely have the ability to severely injure him, and might even attract the attention of the real Sea God.
Weighing the pros and cons, the desire for revenge fiercely battled in his heart against the fear of another failure, or even falling.
In the end, the instinct for survival and the shadow cast by the Sea God gained the upper hand.
"Sea God... you win this time!" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King squeezed these words out from between his huge teeth, filled with humiliation and unwillingness.
He glared fiercely at Snow Empress, then looked warily at the Sea God's phantom, and finally let out a muffled roar. His massive body slowly sank, stirring up a huge vortex, and then completely disappeared into the deep seawater, and the terrifying pressure that had shrouded the world dissipated along with it.
The dark clouds in the sky completely dispersed, sunlight spilled over the sea, and everything returned to calm, as if the earth-shattering battle just now had been nothing but a dream.
Seeing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King retreat, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if they had survived a disaster.
Snow Empress also completely relaxed, and the extreme cold air lingering around her retracted.
She walked over to Wang Donger and Lu Jing, her gaze falling on the Sea God's Heart, which was slowly dimming its light and returning to its normal appearance, her eyes complex.
If not for this Sea God's Heart today, they would probably have fallen into a bitter battle, with unpredictable results.
At this moment, the huge Sea God phantom did not dissipate immediately, but instead cast its gaze toward Snow Empress.
Although it was only an incarnation of divine sense, that gaze still carried the scrutinizing nature of a Divinity.
"Spirit Beast... such profound cultivation, yet the attribute is extreme cold."
The Sea God incarnation spoke slowly, its voice grand and peaceful, asking: "You are not an ocean Spirit Beast, where do you come from?"
