At the same time, Zheng Dong also made a move, and together with Xiao Zi, they dealt with the deep-sea octopus.
Thus, all the divine-level extraordinary creatures invited by the Ghost Sea Flood Dragon Shark to the arranged marriage banquet were eliminated.
Seeing this, the Abyssal Dragon Whale Emperor was furious.
It had rushed over in a hurry, only to fail to save a single subordinate.
It glared at Zheng Dong.
It wished it could have devoured Zheng Dong alive.
At this moment, it also sensed a familiar scent from Zheng Dong.
It quickly recalled that when it had destroyed the Azure Dragon Totem Kingdom, it had smelled the same scent while pursuing the escaping Xiao Qing.
Could it be that the female emperor of the Azure Dragon Totem Kingdom was also rescued by this beast tamer?
It became even more enraged.
Therefore, it sent out a signal, summoning all the divine-level extraordinary creatures of the Dragon Whale Totem Kingdom that had condensed divine sparks.
Soon, divine-level extraordinary creatures arrived one after another.
No one dared to disobey the Abyssal Dragon Whale Emperor's command.
Except for the divine-level extraordinary creatures killed by Zheng Dong, the remaining fourteen divine-level extraordinary creatures gathered.
"Kill him for me!" the Abyssal Dragon Whale Emperor roared.
All the divine-level extraordinary creatures launched an attack on Zheng Dong.
Zheng Dong also had a plan. He instructed Youyou to transform all the corpses on the ground into undead.
Although the Ghost Sea Flood Dragon Shark and other divine-level extraordinary creatures were dead, their residual power was still considerable.
They were fully capable of dealing with the remaining fourteen divine-level extraordinary creatures of the Dragon Whale Totem Kingdom.
Moreover, due to the numerical advantage, they quickly suppressed these divine-level extraordinary creatures.
Seeing the corpses being transformed into undead and joining the battle, the Abyssal Dragon Whale Emperor was stunned.
What was happening?
If it were to fall, would it also be transformed into an undead and controlled by someone?
With this thought, the Abyssal Dragon Whale Emperor quickly shook its head.
It absolutely could not fall.
It wanted to become a supreme being.
Damn beast tamer, I will show you my methods.
The Abyssal Dragon Whale Emperor took out the divine artifact, the Abyssal Soul-Devouring Lamp.
This was a top-tier divine artifact.
From a distance, the Abyssal Soul-Devouring Lamp looked like a skull held in hand, with its eyes emitting a grayish-white light.
Any creature illuminated by the light would feel its thoughts slowing down.
Immediately after, countless illusions would appear before their eyes, and their consciousness would be drawn into the illusions and absorbed by the Abyssal Soul-Devouring Lamp.
The remaining body would become a puppet, driven by the Abyssal Soul-Devouring Lamp.
Even those who had condensed their souls found it difficult to escape the fate of having their consciousness absorbed.
The Abyssal Soul-Devouring Lamp could not only absorb consciousness but also gradually transform the absorbed consciousness into vengeful spirits within the illusions.
Furthermore, it could place these vengeful spirits upon others, devouring their consciousness and occupying their bodies.
The moment the Abyssal Dragon Whale Emperor produced the Abyssal Soul-Devouring Lamp, Zheng Dong felt the surrounding temperature drop by a few degrees.
The grayish-white light emitted by the Abyssal Soul-Devouring Lamp did not bring warmth and security; instead, it made one feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
Zheng Dong vanished from his spot, avoiding the illumination of the Abyssal Soul-Devouring Lamp.
He felt that this thing was somewhat terrifying.
However, even a brief exposure caused Zheng Dong to feel a bit dazed.
Illusions continuously appeared before his eyes.
He seemed to see a figure lunging at him with a knife.
When he reached out to touch it, the figure disappeared.
But then, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if he had been stabbed.
What was going on?
Zheng Dong frowned.
The next second, the figure reappeared, with a green face and fangs. It was not human at all but a Fiery Yaksha.
The knife in its hand was engulfed in flames, and it lunged at Zheng Dong again.
Zheng Dong quickly defended himself.
The Fiery Yaksha disappeared again.
Immediately after, he felt another stab in his heart, which pounded violently, causing immense pain.
Zheng Dong felt that if this continued, he would not be able to hold on for much longer.
Just as the eerie Fiery Yaksha reappeared, a giant tower also emerged.
Youyou, who coexisted with Zheng Dong, sensed the crisis Zheng Dong was facing and appeared in Zheng Dong's consciousness sea.
Seeing Youyou, the eerie Fiery Yaksha also paused.
It couldn't understand why Zheng Dong's pet beast could also appear.
Moreover, Youyou made it feel very fearful, as if it could restrain it.
It was originally a consciousness soul absorbed by the Abyssal Soul-Devouring Lamp and had been transformed into a vengeful spirit.
The moment Zheng Dong came into contact with the light of the Abyssal Soul-Devouring Lamp, it entered Zheng Dong's consciousness sea, preparing to devour Zheng Dong's consciousness and occupy his body.
As a vengeful spirit, it had the innate ability to hide in the consciousness sea. As long as it did not reveal itself, Zheng Dong would not be able to detect it.
Furthermore, it was extremely difficult to kill.
Even if Zheng Dong had condensed his soul, he could not kill it.
It could continuously torment Zheng Dong until his death.
Unless Zheng Dong possessed a divine artifact that protected his soul and consciousness, or a divine artifact specifically for dealing with vengeful spirits, or if Zheng Dong's soul and divine body were integrated without any flaws, then it could be easily killed.
Otherwise, it would parasitize Zheng Dong's consciousness sea like a parasite, surviving on Zheng Dong's mental power.
However, Zheng Dong was not fighting alone.
Besides Youyou, Ling'er also coexisted with him.
Not long after Youyou appeared in the consciousness sea, a towering elemental world tree also appeared.
The elemental world tree emitted a multicolored light, rapidly healing Zheng Dong's injured consciousness and soul.
Immediately after, Youyou also activated the Netherworld Hell.
An ancient, majestic, and terrifying gate opened, revealing the horrifying Netherworld Hell.
The Netherworld Hell was precisely the place where vengeful spirits were suppressed.
The Fiery Yaksha vengeful spirit moved towards the Netherworld Hell uncontrollably, destined to be eternally suppressed and tormented.
As the vengeful spirits in the consciousness sea were cleared, Zheng Dong felt a sense of relief.
He looked back at the Abyssal Soul-Devouring Lamp in the Abyssal Dragon Whale Emperor's hand with lingering fear.
Through the Abyssal Soul-Devouring Lamp, it was indeed possible to control many divine-level extraordinary creatures.
However, the Abyssal Dragon Whale Emperor should possess more than one divine artifact.
According to the deep-sea dragon whale, it should also have a divine artifact that could help people condense divine sparks.
How much inheritance from the Abyssal Dragon God had this fellow inherited?
The Abyssal Dragon Whale Emperor was unaware that the vengeful spirit left on Zheng Dong had been eliminated.
It glared at Zheng Dong with a ferocious expression, its eyes flashing with malevolence, and desperately activated the Abyssal Soul-Devouring Lamp, shining it at Zheng Dong.
"I will make you taste the pain of vengeful spirit possession, and your consciousness and soul will be imprisoned within the Abyssal Soul-Devouring Lamp for eternity."
The Abyssal Soul-Devouring Lamp had been used by the Abyssal Dragon God for countless years.
Innumerable vengeful spirits had been born within it, many of which were the souls of main gods or even rulers transformed.
The Fiery Yaksha vengeful spirit that had attacked Zheng Dong earlier was a high-level god in life, and its transformed soul was also extremely powerful.
If it hadn't encountered Youyou, who completely restrained it, Zheng Dong would likely still be suffering from its torment.
The Abyssal Dragon Whale Emperor activated the Abyssal Soul-Devouring Lamp, chasing Zheng Dong and continuously shining it at him.
The grayish-white light seemed to illuminate the gates of hell.
Legend had it that the Abyssal Soul-Devouring Lamp was the lamp hung before the gates of hell.
Facing the aggressive attacks of the Abyssal Dragon Whale Emperor, Zheng Dong was no longer as fearful as before.
He had figured out the attack method of the Abyssal Soul-Devouring Lamp. As long as he avoided its illumination, he would be fine.
Then, he began to counterattack.
A divine-level undead appeared beside the Abyssal Dragon Whale Emperor and punched towards it.
As long as the Abyssal Dragon Whale Emperor was dealt with, the Abyssal Soul-Devouring Lamp would be rendered harmless without anyone to activate it.
The divine-level undead's consciousness and soul were long gone.
It was merely a puppet, driven by Youyou.
Naturally, it was not afraid of the Abyssal Soul-Devouring Lamp.
Facing the attack of the divine-level undead, the Abyssal Dragon Whale Emperor hastily shone the Abyssal Soul-Devouring Lamp at it, but it had no effect.
Instead, it was forced to retreat repeatedly by a punch from the divine-level undead.
The power of the divine-level undead was terrifying.
Even with its massive body, the Abyssal Dragon Whale Emperor found it difficult to resist.
Damn it, why is it not working?
The Abyssal Dragon Whale Emperor panicked, unable to understand why the Abyssal Soul-Devouring Lamp had no effect on the divine-level undead.
It looked at Zheng Dong again.
If it couldn't deal with the divine-level undead, it could only deal with Zheng Dong.
It swung its tail and disappeared from its spot.
Immediately after, it appeared in front of Zheng Dong.
Then, it activated the Abyssal Soul-Devouring Lamp and shone it upon Zheng Dong.
This time, Zheng Dong reacted a beat too late and was illuminated.
Instantly, thousands of vengeful spirits appeared in his soul and consciousness sea.
Such a large number of vengeful spirits would be unbearable even for the soul of a high-level god.
But before the Abyssal Dragon Whale Emperor could gloat, Zheng Dong returned to normal.
Any vengeful spirit that dared to show itself in Zheng Dong's soul and consciousness sea would be suppressed by Youyou in the Netherworld Hell.
Zheng Dong looked at the Abyssal Dragon Whale Emperor with a half-smile.
This thing seems to have no effect on me.
The Abyssal Dragon Whale Emperor was immediately startled.
It glanced at the Abyssal Soul-Devouring Lamp with suspicion.
Could it be broken?
No, that's impossible. This is a top-tier divine artifact.
While the Abyssal Dragon Whale Emperor was stunned, the divine-level undead caught up again, mounted on the Abyssal Dragon Whale Emperor's back, and fiercely swung its fists at the Abyssal Dragon Whale Emperor's head.
Bang!
Blood splattered.
The Abyssal Dragon Whale Emperor felt its head spin.
It let out an enraged roar.
No one had ever dared to ride on it and cause trouble.
It thrashed its body, trying to shake off the divine-level undead.
Unfortunately, it was completely useless.
The divine-level undead clung tightly to its body with its legs, its fists raining down like a berserk storm.
The Abyssal Dragon Whale Emperor soon couldn't take it anymore.
But it could find no solution.
At this moment, a voice echoed in the Abyssal Dragon Whale Emperor's mind.
"Give me your body, and I will help you avenge yourself and kill all your enemies..."
This voice was incredibly alluring, almost making the Abyssal Dragon Whale Emperor consider it.
Fortunately, the Abyssal Dragon Whale Emperor still retained a sliver of reason.
It knew that if it handed over its body, it would never be able to reclaim it.
It struggled with all its might and roared at Zheng Dong:
"Bastard, tell this undead to stop, or I'll drag you down with me!" the Abyssal Dragon Whale Emperor threatened.
Zheng Dong, however, paid no attention.
He looked at the Abyssal Dragon Whale Emperor, wondering if it hadn't grasped the current situation. Even though it was at a disadvantage, it dared to speak like this.
Zheng Dong instructed the divine-level undead to increase the intensity of its attack.
Meanwhile, Xiao Zi and the other undead transformed from corpses had also dealt with the remaining divine-level extraordinary creatures of the Dragon Whale Totem Kingdom.
Thus, Youyou once again transformed the corpses of these eliminated divine-level extraordinary creatures into undead.
Under Youyou's command, these undead also launched attacks on the Abyssal Dragon Whale Emperor.
The Abyssal Dragon Whale Emperor's injuries worsened.
The voice in its mind grew clearer.
It gradually began to falter.
As its consciousness blurred, it muddledly handed over its body.
Immediately after, the aura of the Abyssal Dragon Whale Emperor changed drastically.
It was as if a different being had taken over.
It roared wantonly.
"I, the Abyssal Dragon God, have returned!"
Seeing this, Zheng Dong was taken aback.
He felt that the Abyssal Dragon Whale Emperor was acting very strangely.
Had this fellow gone mad?
Even with a part of its head pierced by a punch from the divine-level undead, it was still laughing.
It seemed as if the Abyssal Dragon Whale Emperor felt no pain from its injuries.
After a period of time, it suddenly stopped roaring.
Its eyes turned icy as it looked at Zheng Dong.
It regarded him as an ant, paying him no mind.
Then, it opened its mouth and spat out another divine artifact, the Heart of the Abyss.
The Heart of the Abyss resembled a gem emitting a dazzling light, or a drop of black tear. It could rapidly help extraordinary creatures condense divine sparks.
It was a divine artifact personally refined by the Abyssal Dragon God, and after countless years of evolution and growth, it had become a top-tier divine artifact.
Using the Heart of the Abyss, one could activate the Abyssal Divine Domain.
Cultivating within the Abyssal Divine Domain, the speed of condensing divine sparks could reach a thousand times that of the outside world.
Of course, the specific speed would depend on the quality of the divine spark condensed by the individual.
However, any divine spark condensed within the Abyssal Divine Domain would bear the imprint of the Heart of the Abyss, and at critical moments, it could be influenced by the Heart of the Abyss.
In conjunction with the Abyssal Soul-Devouring Lamp, the Abyssal Dragon God could secretly control many divine-level extraordinary creatures.
Besides these two divine artifacts, it possessed many others.
And its methods of controlling people were not limited to these.
In addition to assisting extraordinary creatures in condensing divine sparks, the Heart of the Abyss could also allow the Abyssal Dragon God to peer into the laws that others cultivated and their comprehension of the power of laws.
This was the purpose for which the Abyssal Dragon God had refined the Heart of the Abyss.
After becoming a supreme being, it was difficult to further increase one's strength.
Only by constantly gaining new insights and new laws could there be a chance for improvement.
While using the Heart of the Abyss to help other extraordinary creatures condense divine sparks, it also gained considerable benefits itself.
As it spat out the Heart of the Abyss, the Heart of the Abyss emitted a blinding light, unfolding the Abyssal Divine Domain.
It was extremely familiar with the Abyssal Divine Domain. Within the Abyssal Divine Domain, it was like a dragon returning to the sea, gaining infinite power. It quickly broke free from the divine-level undead.
Furthermore, it used divine skills to recover completely, its body rapidly returning to normal.
It looked as if it had never been injured.
Zheng Dong was immediately surprised.
Why had the Abyssal Dragon Whale Emperor suddenly become so fierce? It was as if it had taken stimulants.
Immediately after, the Abyssal Dragon God began to counterattack.
Within the Abyssal Divine Domain, it activated the Abyssal Soul-Devouring Lamp.
Under its activation, the Abyssal Divine Domain was illuminated everywhere by the grayish-white light.
Zheng Dong dared not approach, and with Xiao Zi and other pet beasts, he quickly retreated.
He felt that even without being directly illuminated by the Abyssal Soul-Devouring Lamp, merely looking at the light within the Abyssal Divine Domain caused a dazed sensation.
The primary function of the Abyssal Soul-Devouring Lamp was soul-devouring, meaning the absorption of consciousness and souls, not the release of vengeful spirits.
Previously, the Abyssal Dragon Whale Emperor's approach to using the Abyssal Soul-Devouring Lamp was flawed.
