Within necromancy, there exists a special kind of magic that can trace bloodlines back to their source.

If something really has happened to the Demon Queen, then Lan Fozi's blood will surely guide them.

As Su Yu rapidly formed hand seals, a complex array appeared out of thin air.

The formation sank into the blood, and that drop of blood suddenly began to move.

Su Yu's gaze sharpened. "Let's go!"

With a wave of his sleeve, a radiant light enveloped the group.

Space trembled, and in the next instant, Su Yu and the others vanished.

Looking at the now-empty grand hall, Wang Dong'er and the others exchanged glances.

Di Mingli stood up and headed straight outside.

Wang Dong'er quickly called out, "Where are you going?"

"To train," came Di Mingli's cool reply.

After what had just happened, she could clearly feel how lacking her strength still was.

If she were a Super Douluo now, Su Yu definitely wouldn't have left her behind.

Di Mingli was never one to admit defeat. She would work hard and raise her power as quickly as possible.

"Huh?"

Wang Dong'er blinked her big eyes, staring blankly as Di Mingli walked away.

"I'm going to train too," Meng Hongchen also stood up and left.

Is my strength so lacking that I can't even stay by Su Yu's side?

Even though she knew Su Yu was worried about their safety, she wanted even more to fight alongside him.

"Sister Nannan?"

Wang Dong'er looked at Jiang Nannan.

Jiang Nannan smiled gently. "I should train as well. Xiao Yu is getting so much stronger, we're falling too far behind."

Wang Dong'er pursed her lips, her heart trembling. Yes, Su Yu was getting stronger and stronger.

He had not only formed the dual soul cores of Yin and Yang, but had also forged a godly body.

Even Mu Wu was no longer a match for him.

But as for her, she was still only a mere Soul Sage.

Even with a top-tier technique like the Great Desolate Imprisoning Heavenly Finger, she wasn't qualified to use it.

She had indulged in the time spent with Su Yu, and after becoming his partner, had grown lazy.

How could a Soul Sage possibly keep up with Su Yu?

"One year. Within a year at most, I must break through to Soul Douluo. Within three years, I must become a Titled Douluo. Come on, Dong'er, you can do it."

Clenching her fist, Wang Dong'er's face brimmed with energy.

She'd taken the First Origin Pill.

Her talent had improved by who knows how much. She believed she could pull it off.

Fired up by the others, Wang Dong'er dashed off to train, filled with passion.

Mu Wu and Sang Muning exchanged a glance and both smiled.

…

…

"Stop struggling. You can't escape, hehehe!"

On the vast sea, Ye Xishui's blood-red robe and hair fluttered wildly, her laughter manic.

Beside her, Long Xiaoyao was shrouded in black mist, equally menacing.

The two unleashed their full power, chasing a massive creature ahead.

It was a beast so enormous it defied description.

Just in size, it neared a hundred meters long—a moving fortress of war.

But right now, the beast was in a dire state.

Its deep blue skin was covered in wounds, some over ten meters long, blood gushing, exposing ghastly white bone.

Especially near the tail, a wound nearly thirty meters long had almost severed it—shocking to behold.

"Despicable humans! Even if I die, I won't let you have your way!"

The beast roared, fleeing with all its might, heart heavy with despair.

Hunted by two equally powerful enemies, she had no chance.

She had fought back, even wounded the woman.

But that woman used evil arts to absorb the blood of sea soul beasts and recovered quickly.

Countless sea soul beasts had fallen to these two along the way, becoming their nourishment.

Not only had they not weakened, but they'd grown even stronger.

While her own injuries grew worse, and her power faded.

Now, she had no strength left to resist.

If this continued, she truly wouldn't survive.

She didn't fear death, but couldn't allow her soul ring and soul bone to be stolen by these two vile humans.

Especially since her husband's vengeance was unresolved, and her two children still needed her—she couldn't let go.

She didn't want to die.

She wanted to live.

If she died, her children would be left all alone, with no one to protect them.

Otherwise, with her pride, she would've fought Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao to the bitter end already.

"Deep Sea Demon Whale, you can't escape. Be good and become my nourishment."

Greed flashed in Ye Xishui's blood-red eyes, but she wasn't in a hurry.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale was already fatally wounded, and wouldn't last much longer.

Their resentful blood energy and Long Xiaoyao's corrupt darkness weren't easily dispelled.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale's fate was sealed.

Just a bit longer, and she wouldn't even have the strength to fight back.

Ye Xishui wasn't foolish; she whittled away at her prey, step by step, forcing the Deep Sea Demon Whale into this desperate state.

She worried that if she pushed too hard, the whale would self-destruct.

That would spoil the fun.

Better to wear her down until she couldn't even self-destruct.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale didn't respond, only kept fleeing.

Ye Xishui cackled, giving relentless chase.

No one knew how long the chase lasted, but the Deep Sea Demon Whale grew slower and slower.

The wounds had dragged on too long; she was almost spent.

Finally, deep in the ocean, the Deep Sea Demon Whale was overtaken by Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao.

"Deep Sea Demon Whale, obediently offer up your life force."

Seeing her prey utterly exhausted, Ye Xishui laughed wildly.

At this point, the whale was like a fish on the chopping block, with no hope of turning the tables.

Despair flashed in the whale's eyes, her heart filled with sorrow.

But her pride wouldn't allow her to be defiled by these two despicable beings.

Sensing her unwillingness, Ye Xishui sneered, "Don't think about running. I won't give you another chance."

"And don't harbor foolish hopes. No one will come to save you."

"Even if a fierce beast shows up, it'll only become my food, too."

"Hehehehe!"

Ye Xishui laughed recklessly, as if everything was in her grasp.

Just as the Deep Sea Demon Whale prepared to self-destruct, a cold voice thundered from the sky, thick with murderous intent.

"Is that so?"

With those words, a mighty, mountain-like presence crashed down from above.
