Chapter 464: Chapter 459: Would You Believe Me If I Said I Caught It?

Alpha’s initial assault was a success, yet he didn’t allow the Tiger Hunting Demon Whale any reprieve, once again swinging the Sword of the Wind Chaser to compound their victory.

The sheer size of the Tiger Hunting Demon Whale was staggering, so much so that even a full-strength attack from Alpha had not been able to inflict any critical damage.

The only gain seemed to be the infuriation of this gargantuan creature.

The Tiger Hunting Demon Whale rose in the water, its large, towering black fin shimmered menacingly. As the surrounding waves churned rapidly, they coalesced into a massive water spear that lunged at Alpha.

Seeing this, Alpha did not resist head-on. With a single swing of the Sword of the Wind Chaser, the water spear was cleaved neatly in two.

However, after passing Alpha, the two halves of the water spear re-formed and continued their knowing journey towards the moving outpost.

Perceiving this, Alpha instinctively wanted to return and assist but found that the Tiger Hunting Demon Whale had already surged forward. With an emergency sword parry, Alpha was still sent flying off by the monstrous power of the sea beast.

As a king-level giant species, the power of the Tiger Hunting Demon Whale could not be measured or foreseen by normal means.

At that moment, a massive whale with dragon horns emerged from the water. With a slight sway of its bulk, a massive wave transformed into a water wall, blocking the incoming water spear.

The Ancient Species – Dragon Horned Whale.

Since acquiring the Dragon Horned Whale genes, it was Delta’s first time transforming into the complete form of a Dragon Horned Whale in a water element environment.

The effects, so far, were spectacular.

“Delta, no issues with survival of the fittest?”

Seeing Delta using survival of the fittest again, Bai Qi was a bit concerned.

Bubble bubble.

(Master, don’t worry, I won’t have a problem for a short while.)

Delta quickly responded before proactively charging at the Tiger Hunting Demon Whale.

And the Tiger Hunting Demon Whale had no inclination to back down either. The injuries on its body and the sudden appearance of the formidable enemy fully awakened its ferocity, a powerful and frenetic energy radiating from it.

The reason the Tiger Hunting Demon Whale was likened to a tiger was due to its equally menacing and ferocious demeanor during hunts, analogous to a tiger on a mountain.

However, faced with the ferocious might of the Tiger Hunting Demon Whale, Delta did not show any signs of backing down. The primordial aura of the Ancient Species Dragon Horned Whale was just as formidable when confronted with the Tiger Hunting Demon Whale.

“Having absorbed the Life Blessing, Delta’s evolved form seems even closer to a real ancient species.”

Gazing at Delta, who in terms of both size and aura seemed no different than the Ancient Species owned by the Jiuli Group, and might even be a notch stronger, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction.

Indeed, strengthening the life origin was the most heuristic method for enhancement. Even with the same skills and form, an increase in life origin resulted in a corresponding improvement in effects.

If the opportunity arose later, it would be better to find resources to strengthen the life origin for the other pets.

Boom!

Just as Bai Qi was reflecting, the two colossal beasts collided, stirring up a storm on the surface of the sea.

However, in the initial face-off, Delta seemed to be at a disadvantage, pushed back a few steps by the Tiger Hunting Demon Whale.

Crack, crack?

(Boss, should I go help?)

“Wait, you keep an eye on the Tiger Hunting Demon Whale herd. We will see if Delta is in danger.”

Bai Qi shook his head. Through their contract, he could widely sense Delta’s state.

Although it was subtle, after Delta entered the water, all of his attributes seemed to have increased.

Furthermore, it seemed like Delta wanted to try challenging himself.

Indeed, after the primary setback, Delta quickly stabilized his form, his Dragon Horned Whale’s natural skill ‘Undercurrent’ helping him to alleviate the impact from the Tiger Hunting Demon Whale.

However, the Tiger Hunting Demon Whale showed no intention of letting Delta recover and followed closely, opening its big mouth for a bite at Delta.

The sharp, gruesome fangs were enough to infer the immense damage they would cause if they bit down.

Delta, however, neither dodged nor fled, instead voluntarily drawing closer and at the same time, violently lunged his horns into the body of the Tiger Hunting Demon Whale.

It was seemingly clear that he intended to trade blow for blow.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

At last, the Tiger Hunting Demon Whale bit down on Delta, but failed to penetrate his flesh, its teeth blocked by an invisible barrier. In contrast, Delta’s dragon horn plunged smoothly into the Tiger Hunting Demon Whale’s body.

Whine, whine, whine!

The Tiger Hunting Demon Whale shrieked in pain. Ferociously, it bit harder and shattered Delta’s space barrier, its sharp teeth piercing through into Delta’s flesh.

The power of the giant species was indeed terrifying!

Seeing this, Alpha immediately wanted to join in and help, but was stopped by Delta.

Bubble bubble.

(Delta can handle it.)

Gazing at the Tiger Hunting Demon Whale that had locked its jaws on his body, Delta immediately entered a state of Void Resonance, sidestepping the sea beast and taking a solid bite out of its flesh.

In the Original Era, the Dragon Horned Whale was also a dominant creature in the seas, its biting power no less than that of the Tiger Hunting Demon Whale.

Unable to damage Delta but instead being harmed itself, the Tiger Hunting Demon Whale was too preoccupied to use its abilities, instead wildly biting at Delta like a beast. Delta, in response, wrestled fiercely with it.

However, after swallowing that chunk of flesh, memories within the Dragon Horned Whale’s bloodline seemed to awaken in Delta. Its eyes suddenly turned crimson, and its already large body started swelling gradually, even exceeding the size of the Tiger Hunting Demon Whale.

This discrepancy in size caused the Tiger Hunting Demon Whale to pause instinctively, and Delta seized this opportunity, tearing off a large chunk of flesh from his adversary.

Blood turned the inner sea red, attracting some keen-nosed predators, stirring the once calm inner sea into a flurry of activity.

The battle between Delta and the Dragon Horned Whale had finally come to an end.

Having two large chunks of its flesh torn off by Delta, the Tiger Hunting Demon Whale was visibly weakened, starting to falter. Delta, however, showed no signs of holding back, relentlessly tearing into the Tiger Hunting Demon Whale one bite after another.

Perhaps because of consuming a large amount of flesh, Delta continued to grow in size, its fighting style becoming more and more wild. Eventually, it stopped using the techniques of the Disciple of the Void, relying on pure physical instinct to fight.

Before long, the Giant Species that was the Tiger Hunting Demon Whale was slowly devoured by the Dragon Horned Whale transformed by Delta, until nothing remained but a mangled carcass floating on the sea surface.

“I didn’t expect Delta to be so brutal…”

Witnessing Delta fighting in such a savage way for the first time, Bai Qi couldn’t help but feel surprised.

“Perhaps, this is a more effective way to unlock the abilities of the ancient species within Delta.”

Projecting a hologram, Schuck silently looked at the Dragon Horned Whale, several times larger than before, and said, “By this method, Delta’s pace of Physique Strengthening might speed up.”

Bai Qi, hearing this, realized that after each evolution and regression, Delta would keep some of the enhanced attributes in its body.

The data on the Dragon Horned Whale was incredibly off the charts, so Delta’s body would certainly be significantly strengthened.

However, that was a matter for later.

Circling the massive body of the Dragon Horned Whale, Bai Qi found quite a number of sea beasts had gathered in the outer sea.

Unsurprisingly, they were attracted by the blood-red sea around them.

Most crucially, Bai Qi spotted several Tiger Hunting Demon Whales in the distance, even larger than the previous one.

“Seems like, I’ve made a mess?”

Bai Qi scratched his head awkwardly. The monolith at the seabed would emit special waves to drive sea beasts away, and due to the existence of the Legend of Stable Sea, giant sea beasts wouldn’t dare to approach this area easily.

However, it seemed that his fishing activities, as well as the fight earlier, had attracted these giant sea beasts here.

If these sea beasts attacked the inner sea, it would undoubtedly cause significant damage to the association’s defense line.

“Well, I dug this hole, so I might as well fill it.”

Bai Qi cricked his neck. From his battle with the Tiger Hunting Demon Whale, he had roughly understood the battle power of Giant Species.

They were powerful and had exceptional physiques, but their threat level was lesser than he had anticipated.

At least, Bai Qi had never seen ferocious beasts on land that were at the brink of death but didn’t know how to activate the King-level Force Field.

With that in mind, Bai Qi summoned the Six Pets, saying, “Come on, let off some steam and give it your all!”

At Bai Qi’s words, Alpha and the others perked up.

Although the fishing activity was pleasant, they felt somewhat constrained. Now that they had the opportunity to fully unleash their powers, they were all excited.

Roar!

Just then, Delta, still in its battle-frenzy state, saw the sea beasts surrounding them in the outer sea and let out an angry roar.

Immediately after, an undercurrent surged from beneath, charging towards the group of sea beasts. Everywhere it passed, middle and large-sized sea beasts were torn apart by this giant strength, even the giant sea beasts were forcibly driven back.

By perfectly incorporating the Power of the Void, the undercurrent’s impact grew stronger!

“Delta is really fierce.”

No one would believe Delta was still a Lord-level creature if they saw it repelling numerous sea beasts with its own power.

“It must have started digesting the meat of the Tiger Hunting Demon Whale. Otherwise, Delta would not have been able to sustain that ability given its energy consumption.”

The data in Schuck’s eyes flickered continuously as he analyzed Delta’s current state.

“That must be it.”

Bai Qi nodded, gazing at the giant sea beasts that were regrouping with the intention of approaching once again, and told Alpha, “Get ready to back up Delta.”

Although the impact of Delta’s previous strike was terrifying visually, it had mostly killed Lord-level sea beasts.

The Giant Sea Beasts that remained were all King-level or higher, and it would be too unfair to let Delta take them all on by itself again.

Just then, a warship hastily approached from a distance. Before it had even docked, a figure leaped off and called out.

“Bai Qi, what happened? Why are there so many sea beasts gathered here? And that…”

“That Dragon Horned Whale is my pet transformed, and as for these sea beasts…”

Bai Qi scratched his head, somewhat awkward as he said, “If I told you I attracted them all while fishing, would you believe it?”
