Chapter 1830 - A Promise To The Little Princess
Chapter 1830: A Promise To The Little Princess
Tang Wulin could not help feeling rather frustrated by the mischievous little princess. It was ninety thousand years old, yet it was still acting like a child.
Soon, he was pushed out to the surface of the sea along with the ice. In the next moment, the surrounding sea surface began to change as an ice bridge took form. It led into the distance, stretching forward swiftly.
Tang Wulin could see the devil soul great white shark princess’ silhouette swimming at full speed under the surface. The water above it froze where it passed, and the tempestuous sea became as calm as a mirror.
‘It’s quite capable just as expected. Its ability to control the sea and manipulate the ice element is rather impressive!’
Tang Wulin spread his legs apart and travelled in a manner akin to skating. Soon, he saw land ahead and the ice bridge under his feet extended all the way there.
When he stepped onto solid ground once again, the devil soul great white shark princess’ body was standing up in the distant waters. It used its fin to wave at him. “Goodbye, human being! Don’t forget your promise to grant me a favor if we are to meet again in the future. A promise is a promise.”
Tang Wulin smiled and waved back. “Alright, goodbye.”
“Sea God’s Sixth Examination is completed. Would you like to continue the examination?” The deep voice came in a timely manner. Tang Wulin realized that the sixth examination had only been fully completed when he returned to the shore. In other words, he did not only need to defeat the evil devil killer shark king, but also receive the approval of this devil soul great white shark princess.
…
In the Northern Ocean of the Douluo Continent, there was a flash of golden radiance as a gigantic silhouette appeared in the sea soundlessly.
It was obviously having some trouble adapting, so it swayed its body to find its balance point. It wriggled and looked around. It could not help feeling rather puzzled.
“What’s going on? Am I dreaming? Why do I feel like I’m in another world? That human being was really fun and he was also very powerful,” the devil soul great white shark muttered to itself.
‘Mankind is really an interesting species. I’m going to take a look at the human world for sure after I’m done cultivating for ten thousand years. I wonder if Mother will allow me to do it. I don’t care, I’m still going to go even if my mother doesn’t allow it. I’ll just think of it as a trip.’
At the thought of this, the devil soul great white shark princess could not help feeling overjoyed. At least, it could be certain that the evil devil killer whale king earlier was real. Everything it did all this time was being prompted by a consciousness. In any case, the human being’s appearance did leave behind a profound impression on it.
“Mother is calling for me.” The devil soul great white shark princess flexed its body and tail gently before it swiftly began to swim in the direction the call came from.
“Huh, that’s strange! Why do I feel like I’m faster?” While it was swimming, it suddenly sensed that it was accelerating. It felt like something was different from before.
For soul beasts, the evolutionary process was extremely slow. Had that not been the case, soul beasts would not need to spend one hundred thousand years just to evolve into a human form. The event previously had only taken a very short period of time, but it could clearly sense the elevation in itself.
Before it had the time to further comprehend the change, it suddenly realized that something was changing in its surroundings.
The crystal clear sea had abruptly turned murky with a very unpleasant purple-black aura spreading through the water. A voice suddenly rang through its mind.
“Leave, quick. Leave, quick. Don’t come back, my daughter. It’s her. That terrifying person is here. Don’t come back! Oh… We’re doomed…”
The devil soul great white shark princess was startled, and its body froze in place. The voice was that of its mother!
“Mother, Mother, what happened? What’s going on with you?” It called out frightfully to itself. It had a delicate connection to its mother that allowed them to communicate with each other via their spiritual power even if they were far apart. Yet, the connection with its mother was suddenly cut off at that exact moment. There was also an intense restlessness that shot through its entire body.
‘Something must have happened to Mother. Something must have happened to Mother.’
The devil soul great white shark princess panicked. It hastily flexed its body and rushed toward the location where its mother’s last call was heard, unconcerned by the murky purple-black seawater.
It lost count of how long it swam before it sensed its mother’s aura at last. However, the aura was exceedingly weak and gave off an ominous feeling.
The purple-black color in the sea gradually faded, and the devil soul great white shark princess was stunned by the scene before its eyes.
It saw countless corpses and skeletons in the water. All sorts of sea soul beasts’ corpses were either sinking or floating slowly. The entire ocean seemed to be filled with a bloody aura and looked desolated.
Then, it saw some familiar silhouettes. Those were its clansmen, were they not?
“No, no, no, it can’t be, it can’t be!” It screamed out aloud anxiously, frantically calling out to its mother, “Mother, Mother, where are you?! Mother, please don’t scare me. Where are you?”
It was in a mad panic. It had grown up by its mother’s side since it was young. Its mother was the ruler of the devil soul great white shark clan. The clan was thriving and prosperous, with only the evil devil killer whales as their enemy.
Then, the evil devil killer whale clan suddenly disappeared without a trace not long ago, and it was transported to the strange world soon after that.
It had just returned when the scene before its eyes filled it with fear. It had no courage to ponder, yet its intelligence was telling it that the situation was getting worse.
More and more devil soul great white sharks’ corpses appeared within its visual field, all of their bodies mutilated. It could only tell that some of them were its companions and friends based on certain details. In fact, some of them were its blood relatives.
At last, it sensed a most familiar aura. It swam toward the aura frantically and saw a dark blue pearl emitting a weak glow.
“Mother!” The devil soul great white shark princess exclaimed sorrowfully. It swam as fast as it could and arrived before the pearl.
A devil soul great white shark that cultivated to one hundred thousand years would produce such a shark pearl upon its passing. It was the most important and precious object of the devil soul great white shark clan and it would be passed down through the family. Only royalty could produce it.
The aura emitted by the pearl was highly familiar to the devil soul great white shark princess. There could only be one explanation. This belonged to its mother! In other words, its mother was dead. Moreover, its mother did not even leave behind a body.
“Mother, mother, mother…” It screamed out and sobbed loudly. It wriggled its body with all its strength making the nearby seawater surge.
Yet, there was already nothing it could do to change this. No one survived the ordeal. Not its mother nor its clansmen.
How did this happen? What had happened? It was still fine when it left. Even the fearsome evil devil killer whale clan could not simply wipe them out. The battles between these two parties were equally matched. It was impossible for the entire clan to be slain at once, yet they were all dead!
‘What happened? Mother, Mother, you’re still alive, right?’
The devil soul great white shark princess was having a full mental breakdown. It felt as if the sea had turned into its tears.
It infused its spiritual consciousness into the shark pearl to sense it.
A thought soon entered its mind.
