Seeing the two sisters in this posture, Fang Chang finally retracted his shield-like spider legs that had been hovering above their heads. He gestured for them to rise while telepathically instructing Little Gold to translate.
Little Gold quickly arrived at Fang Chang's side. Seeing her two younger sisters, who had always been at odds with her, humbled in this way, she felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
After translating Fang Chang's words, the two sisters finally dared to stand up with their tribe members, their emotions mixed as they looked at the two spiders before them.
They still couldn't believe that this male spider had single-handedly defeated their entire tribe.
Earlier, all the top experts of their tribe had attacked Fang Chang. While the weaker Sea Spiders with only a few hundred or thousand years of cultivation might not have made much difference, even their combined efforts had failed to inflict any damage on Fang Chang.
With such strength, this Sea Spider indeed had the power to make them submit.
Moreover, he was also a spider. Submitting to a member of the same species wasn't particularly shameful in the world of soul beasts. It was far better than groveling before a soul beast of a different species.
With this thought, the two sisters managed to ease a tiny bit of the resentment in their hearts. They raised their heads and said to Fang Chang, "We admit defeat."
Little Gold translated these words with delight, as if they were the most beautiful sentence she had ever heard.
But before Fang Chang could respond, the seabed suddenly shook violently. A terrifying suction force emerged from the north, pulling large amounts of seawater and marine life toward it.
The two branches of the Sea Spider tribe reacted very differently. The members of Little Gold's branch immediately huddled together, clinging to each other in fear, trembling uncontrollably.
Meanwhile, the members of her sisters' branch remained calm, showing little reaction. They simply gripped the seaweed on the seabed more tightly to prevent themselves from being swept away by the suction.
In this location, such an anomaly could only be associated with the infamous Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. Only it possessed such power.
This was the first time Little Gold had encountered such a situation. Although she wasn't as panicked as her weaker tribe members, her brows were tightly furrowed, and her body was almost pressed against Fang Chang.
Her strength far surpassed that of her tribe members, and her perception was naturally sharper. From this suction force, she sensed an overwhelming, suffocating presence.
Her two younger sisters took the opportunity to mock her, "Oh, big sister, you're as timid as ever."
Little Gold pouted in anger, standing a little straighter and returning to her original position. She suppressed her fear, trying to appear calm and composed.
However, this anomaly seemed to last longer than expected...
The seabed continued to tremble, and the suction force showed no signs of weakening. Instead, it grew stronger. The two sisters realized something was wrong and quickly called for their tribe members to retreat into the nest for safety.
Seeing their actions, Little Gold also hurriedly instructed her tribe members to follow them into the nest.
The two sisters glanced at her smugly but didn't say anything more.
They were of the same tribe, and now they had both submitted to Fang Chang. Even if there had been past grievances, they wouldn't be too harsh at such a critical moment.
The suction force grew stronger, and the tremors in the seabed became more violent. Outside the nest, countless seaweed and rocks flew toward the north, as if the world was ending.
Amidst this chaos, Fang Chang and the three Sea Spider sisters felt a chill in their hearts. They sensed an extremely terrifying presence rapidly approaching from the north.
Fang Chang's heart sank. He crawled out of the nest and stood outside, with the three sisters following closely behind him, hiding at his back.
Almost immediately after the four of them emerged, a massive black shadow over two hundred meters long swam into view from the north.
As it drew closer, Fang Chang and the others could finally see its full form. Its body was a deep sapphire blue, and its two enormous eyes were almost as large as Little Gold's entire body.
Race: Deep Sea Demonic Whale King
Soul Power: 999,999 years
HP: 1,047,413
Strength: 108,914
Attack: 104,721
Defense: 99,784
Speed: 87,491
Fang Chang glanced at its stats and instinctively took half a step back. This was a soul beast infinitely close to a million years, with attributes nearly ten times his own.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's massive eyes focused on the four spiders before it, lingering briefly on Fang Chang.
Coincidentally, within the vast Demon Whale Sea, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had been resting near the nest of Little Gold's two younger sisters.
It had been in a deep slumber when it suddenly sensed the presence of four soul beasts close to the 100,000-year level, accompanied by numerous weaker followers.
Four soul beasts of this level, while not a threat to it, were still worth its attention. Thus, it extended its spiritual sense to observe the area.
It then discovered that these sea soul beasts had dared to build a nest near its territory and were even preparing to fight.
This was like a group of unruly children playing with mud right outside your house, and halfway through, they started throwing mud balls at each other.
As the overlord of the deep sea, it naturally couldn't tolerate such insolence. It immediately headed over to teach these reckless little creatures a lesson.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's eyes turned cold as it uttered a single, emotionless word to the four spiders, "Leave."
At the same time, its massive body shifted slightly, and the surrounding seawater seemed to form a wall over a hundred meters wide, crashing directly toward the four of them.
The force of this water wall was such that even if it didn't kill them, it would leave them severely injured. Moreover, the water wall wasn't just aimed at them—it also encompassed the nest behind them.
Fang Chang's eyes narrowed. In an instant, he activated his "Flexible Size" skill, enlarging his body to its maximum size, reaching about a third of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's size.
He then slammed his shield-like spider legs into the seabed, and a golden light shield expanded around him. He activated every defensive skill he had, determined to withstand the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's attack.
Boom! The water wall crashed into Fang Chang's shield, causing a trickle of blood to seep from the corner of his mouth. His body was pushed back five or six meters before he managed to stabilize himself.
The light shield had visibly dimmed, covered in dense cracks, but it hadn't completely shattered. Fang Chang had actually managed to block the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's attack.
In the distance, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had already turned to leave after releasing the water wall. However, out of the corner of its eye, it noticed Fang Chang's sudden enlargement and saw that he had indeed blocked its attack.
"Hmm?" It let out a sound of surprise, turning back around. A hint of amusement appeared in its eyes. Its body shifted again, and a water wall nearly twice the size of the previous one slowly formed behind it.
Then, it aimed the water wall at Fang Chang once more, its eyes flashing with blue light.
The water wall surged forward with terrifying force, heading straight for Fang Chang. If the previous attack had been a casual strike, this one was at least seventy to eighty percent of its full power.
As the water wall drew closer, Fang Chang grew increasingly anxious. He channeled his soul power continuously into the light shield, his spider legs digging deep into the seabed. He bent his body, leaning his shoulders forward.
At this critical moment, he pushed every possible defensive measure to its limit.
