Li Hengyan’s fate.

It had been sealed the moment he laid eyes on the Ghostly Flood Dragon.

In a way, his death was far too easy.

And Li Hengyan himself had played a part in it!

After devouring the Blood Sea Sword that Li Hengyan had provided, the Ghostly Flood Dragon’s reserve of living souls reached a staggering two hundred thousand!

With such a vast number of living souls, the power of the Soul Abyss Blood Prison had increased significantly. This, combined with Su Ye’s current damage attribute of 39 points, spelled doom for his foe.

A Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, still gravely injured and having lost his personal Spiritual Artifact, could only die filled with regret under the Ghostly Flood Dragon’s cannon fire!

As for fleeing, that too would have meant death!

The storm contained a trace of oceanic spirituality, which could rapidly drain the Magical Power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator!

What’s more, under the influence of Su Ye’s Monarch of Calamity title, this oceanic spirituality was even more violent!

Had Li Hengyan chosen to flee, he would have died even faster!

Soon, however, Su Ye cast this fallen enemy from his mind.

A more pressing matter lay before him.

It was...

Su Ye stood at the ship’s bow, his gaze shifting as he stared into the distance.

Thick, dark clouds and a hazy, rainy mist created a curtain of black that obscured his vision!

And yet, several miles away,

the immense fluctuations of Demon Power were as clear as a torch in the dead of night!

’The White Whale...’

A third-rank Demon King, comparable to a Core Formation Master!

If he wasn’t mistaken, this monster was the strongest existence Su Ye had faced since his transmigration!

But given Su Ye’s cautious nature, the fact that he dared to appear before it proved that he had at least a seventy percent certainty of success!

——Of slaying this Demon King!

Su Ye took a deep breath.

He closed his eyes, feeling the cold raindrops trickle down his cheeks.

At the same time, he fully activated Heart of the Vast Sea, a skill exclusive to a Pastor of the Sea!

His authority over the ocean surged.

Su Ye’s Divine Sense Perception was greatly enhanced, and a flood of information poured into his mind.

The condition of White Whale Moby Dick appeared before him with perfect clarity!

’Body severely wounded, Demon Pill damaged, Demon Power greatly reduced, lingering injuries from Divine Techniques...’

’Good... Its condition is even worse than I imagined...’

Su Ye’s gaze was profound.

In his perception, White Whale Moby Dick’s body was riddled with holes!

It was like a high-risk building, drafty all over and built with shoddy materials!

This was to be expected.

When the Beast Tide collapsed, White Whale Moby Dick was severely wounded by Sikong Xin’s Quasi-Technique, Celestial Vault Thunder Shadow.

In the year that followed, it hid all over the sea, evading Sikong Xin’s pursuit.

Finally, it managed to break through the encirclement with great difficulty and returned to the Dongning Sea Region!

This escape had left it utterly spent.

Moreover, not long ago,

in order to create the perfect opportunity for Navasen to launch a sneak attack, the White Whale had taken a full-power blow from Zhaoxia head-on!

This had made its already precarious situation even worse, bringing it to the brink of death!

’However...’

Su Ye narrowed his eyes.

Logically, even for a demon beast known for its incredible vitality, such injuries should have been fatal!

And yet the White Whale could still move.

It even had the strength to pursue the fleet?!

As his perception spread, Su Ye soon discovered the reason.

’The heart... A heart like that?!’

A look of excitement and bloodlust instantly appeared in Su Ye’s eyes!

’So that’s how it is!’

’No wonder... It’s a Sea Successor Mutant Species, but there are no traces of Sea Successor Remains on its body...’

Within his perception,

a piece of Sea Successor Remains the size of a suitcase was embedded in the White Whale’s heart!

These Sea Successor Remains had fused perfectly with its heart!

With every beat of its heart, as blood was pumped out, an extremely high-quality life force trickled out like a gentle stream!

It nourished the White Whale’s ravaged body, barely sustaining its vital functions!

’Another item added to the spoils from killing the White Whale!’

For Su Ye, high-quality Sea Successor Remains were something he absolutely had to obtain!

And now, SPLASH!

White Whale Moby Dick, its skin as white as veined alabaster, appeared within Su Ye’s line of sight!

The distance between them was less than a couple of miles!

For a terrifying monster over a thousand feet long, whose every move could stir up massive waves,

this meant it was practically on top of the Ghostly Flood Dragon!

VMMMM!

Amidst the wind and rain, a powerful whale song rang out!

The White Whale broke through the waves, accelerating toward the Ghostly Flood Dragon!

Even Su Ye, with over a decade of experience hunting demons, felt a terrifying sense of pressure at this moment!

The White Whale’s charge was like an invisible, towering wall bearing down on him!

It was enough to make one instinctively want to shrink back from the challenge!

However...

’Retreat? Are you kidding me?!’

Su Ye’s gaze was cold as he stared fixedly at the White Whale, a ferocious glint in his eyes as if he were about to devour it alive!

A raging fire seemed to erupt in his heart!

VMMMM!

The Frost Thorn Spear materialized.

A brilliant silver light flared, bright enough to pierce the night!

The sharp silver light tore through the air!

The endless wind and rain could not hinder it in the slightest!

On the contrary, the howling gales swirled around the Frost Thorn Spear as if they were servants attending their king, empowering it and further increasing its speed!

Mach one! Mach two! Mach three!

In an instant, it crossed a thousand meters!

Whale-Hunting Spear!

SHHNK!

The Whale-Hunting Spear pierced the White Whale’s tough hide.

Due to its lack of Demon Power and the accumulated injuries to its body, its Defense Power had dropped drastically!

The Frost Thorn Spear plunged deeper, tearing through flesh and carving out a bloody tunnel more than ten meters long!

The White Whale’s body shuddered.

For this oceanic behemoth, over a thousand feet long,

such a wound was painful, but not fatal.

However, at that very moment!

Aboard the Ghostly Flood Dragon, countless Array patterns lit up.

The scarlet patterns outlined themselves, spinning and overlapping like blooming roses!

Over a dozen patterns converged. Accompanied by the roars of countless living souls, the piercing scarlet light became so dense it seemed to drip with blood!

A crimson beam of light, condensing immense Spiritual Power and looking powerful enough to part the seas, erupted forth!

Song of Hell!

The crimson beam accurately struck the wound torn open by the Whale-Hunting Spear.

Countless blood-red flames poured in!

It was as if molten lava was being poured into the White Whale’s body!

The terrifying blood-flames incinerated its flesh, bringing it extreme agony!

"VMMMM!!!"

An incredibly shrill whale song, filled with agony, resounded!

The attack from the Song of Hell acted like a fuse, detonating all the accumulated injuries within the White Whale’s body!

Its aura of Demon Power plummeted drastically!

However.

In that instant, Su Ye felt an extreme sense of danger!

SPLASH!

The waves churned!

The White Whale, its body wreathed in blood-flames, showed no intention of retreating!

Instead, it abruptly accelerated, ramming toward the Ghostly Flood Dragon!

No retreat, only advance!
