544: Chapter Demonic Dragon Whale Arrives at the Forbidden Zone

Galan let out a low shout, crossing the sword and saber in her hands, and slashed down fiercely.

An invisible cross-shaped slash instantly cut through space, seawater, and all obstacles, splitting directly towards the Dragon Whale's head.

Feeling the terrifying aura coming from above its head, the Dragon Whale's eyes flashed with fear.

It wanted to dodge, but its body seemed to be locked by an invisible force, making it unable to move at all.

Its massive body could only tremble, and a wave of despair surged in its heart.

"No!"

The Dragon Whale let out an unwilling roar, a roar that sounded like a dragon's cry.

The scales all over its body suddenly shone, and an eerie giant dragon figure actually attached itself to its body.

The giant dragon figure bared its fangs and brandished its claws, exuding an ancient and majestic aura.

However, all these struggles appeared pale and powerless before Galan's unmatched strike.

The cross-shaped slash, like a sharp blade cutting through space, easily tore through the Dragon Whale's spiritual power shield and the attached giant dragon phantom, heading straight for its vital point with an unstoppable momentum.

Just as the saber's light was about to touch the Dragon Whale's head, an ancient and powerful force erupted from within the Dragon Whale's body, forming a radiant light shield.

The light shield seemed to be composed of countless stars, shimmering with dazzling light.

However, although the light shield was not broken, it was covered in cracks, like a shattered spider web, clearly near its limit.

"This is... the Dragon Whale clan's innate Divine Ability, Dragon Scale Protection!"

Li Wuji watched from the side, his eyes slightly narrowed, a hint of surprise flashing in them.

But Galan did not stop. Her eyes became even more determined, and she raised the sword and saber in her hands again, then unleashed an even more ferocious attack.

This time, the slash directly shattered the light shield, and the fragments of the shattered light shield streaked across the sky like brilliant meteors.

The residual power of the slash did not diminish, leaving a shocking wound on the Dragon Whale's massive head.

The wound was very deep, and blood poured out from it like red threads, quickly dyeing the surrounding seawater red.

The Dragon Whale roared in pain, its voice mournful and desolate, its huge body thrashing in the water.

Each of its thrashing movements was like triggering an underwater earthquake, stirring up monstrous waves, and the entire canyon seemed to tremble.

At this moment, the Dragon Whale finally realized that these two humans before it, especially the woman holding the dark blue long saber, were far from as simple as it had initially thought.

"Escape!"

This was the only thought in its mind. The Dragon Whale glanced into the distance, its eyes filled with terror and unwillingness.

However, as it prepared to retreat, Galan stood alone, holding a saber in one hand and a sword in the other, blocking its path.

She stood straight, like an insurmountable mountain.

Although the size difference between the two was immense, like a sesame seed compared to a mountain, even so, the Dragon Whale dared not cross her in the slightest.

"Who exactly are you?"

Although weakened, the Dragon Whale forced itself to gather its strength and stared at Li Wuji in the distance.

He had seen the previous scene; the woman in front of him seemed to be taking orders from the other person.

Its eyes held doubt and wariness.

"My Dragon Whale clan is not to be provoked. Does Your Excellency truly wish to make an enemy of my clan?"

The Dragon Whale attempted a final struggle. It knew the strength of its clan well and hoped to use the clan's reputation to deter the other party.

Li Wuji's figure flashed, appearing beside Galan. He appeared as suddenly as a bolt of lightning.

He then reached out and clenched his hand forward. For a moment, the Dragon Whale felt as if its heart was being gripped by an invisible giant hand.

A sharp pain came from its heart area, a pain like being pricked by thousands of needles.

"You, what are you doing?!"

It finally lost its previous composure. The two people before it were simply too strange.

Its massive body began to tremble uncontrollably, its eyes filled with fear.

"Just need you to do me a favor and learn a few things."

Li Wuji's voice was cold and calm, seemingly indifferent to the Dragon Whale's terror.

The next moment, the Magic Gu at his feet shone brightly with scarlet eyes, the light like two burning flames.

It flew directly towards the Dragon Whale. The Magic Gu, like a red lightning bolt, instantly entered the Dragon Whale's body.

"Ah~"

With a cry of surprise, a white light emerged from its head. Li Wuji directly drew it into his glabella, and then waves of Divine Soul memories surged into his mind.

Meanwhile, Galan guarded Li Wuji's side, while also looking at the Dragon Whale, which was possessed by the Magic Gu and beginning to demonize.

The Dragon Whale's painful roars gradually turned into an eerie and low growl. Its body began to undergo earth-shattering changes.

The Magic Gu rampaged within its body, like a greedy plunderer, not only absorbing the Dragon Whale's vast life force but also eroding its flesh and Soul bit by bit.

On the Dragon Whale's body surface, the originally shining scales began to dim, replaced by twisted black patterns.

These patterns seemed to come alive, spreading along its body, giving the onlookers a sense of unspeakable dread.

Li Wuji, meanwhile, was immersed in the flood of information obtained from the Dragon Whale's memory. This information was both ancient and complex.

Powerful forces in the seabed, mysterious races, the origins of the Dragon Whale clan, secret techniques, and unknown areas hidden in the deep sea.

His brows were tightly furrowed, sometimes showing a look of sudden realization, and sometimes his pupils would constrict due to some astonishing discoveries.

As the memories deepened, he gained a deeper understanding of the history and secrets of this sea area.

"So that's how it is..."

Li Wuji murmured, his voice carrying a hint of shock, "Indeed, this world is not simple."

Just then, the Magic Gu completed its mission. The Demonized Dragon Whale's body twisted and actually transformed into a Middle-aged man with long black and purple hair, half-kneeling before Li Wuji.

Li Wuji felt the power of the man before him and nodded slightly. Although the opponent's strength had decreased somewhat after demonization, he was still barely in the Mid King Realm.

"Let's go, head to the Life Forbidden Zone—East Sea Dragon Palace!"

The next moment, the Demonized Dragon Whale transformed back into its main body, but its size was now reduced by thousands of times, just enough for Li Wuji and Galan to stand on steadily.

Carrying the two of them, it turned into a stream of light and quickly swam into the distance. With its presence, the journey was unimpeded.

At the same time, outside a grassland covered in a faint mist, a massive, technologically advanced steel airship slowly landed.

This was Bai Yuan and his group, and not far from the airship, hundreds of figures were also walking towards them.

"Didn't expect you to still be alive. That's quite a surprise."

Bai Yuan looked at the person in the lead, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, then he scrutinized the group with deep meaning.

These were the powerhouses sent by the Demon Clan, also four King Realm, ten Half-Kings, and a hundred Martial Lords.

And the leader of this group was not one of the Demon Kings from the initial discussion, but a Minotaur with two horns on his head, exuding a powerful and fierce aura.
