Under his feet, the ice block was losing control, drawn into the whirlpool's power, forcing Lu Yu to constantly retreat and create new ice blocks as footing, each block absorbed into the vortex.

Huang Yelin, the Blue Ring King, and the Deep Sea Emissary all sensed Lu Yu's presence, but their focus was on the powerful aura emerging from afar, indifferent to the nearby ant.

In their eyes, Lu Yu was just an ant; even if accidentally swept into the vortex, he'd be affected by the chaotic Spiritual Qi and Soul Power above, gravely injured or even killed instantly.

The latter possibility was far more likely.

Soul Power was too advanced for a Martial Cultivator at the Spiritual Qi stage, and if injured by it, there's almost no hope of recovery, essentially marking the end of their cultivation path.

Unless there's a divine medicine, heaven-defying elixir, or another strong entity at the distracting stage willing to consume their source Soul Power to help restore their soul's injuries.

"She's over there." A tender, small hand extended from Lu Yu's embrace, pointing in the direction from which that powerful aura was emanating.

A juvenile deep-sea whale over a hundred meters long rapidly approached Yunhai City, the surrounding waves propelling its body swiftly forward.

On the deep-sea whale's head stood a woman with a regal aura — innate royalty.

While others were stunned, the Deep Sea Emissary noticed Lu Yu standing not far away, saw the small hand extending from the Shadow Cloak and, with glimmers in his eyes, suddenly reached out towards Lu Yu.

Lu Yu felt the world collapsing, an irresistible force.

The feeling of sky-falling came swiftly and vanished quickly as Huang Yelin intervened, stopping the Deep Sea Emissary with the Blue Ring King floating motionless.

Huang Yelin remained vigilant against the Deep Sea Emissary, even whilst feeling that powerful aura, ensuring he was attentive enough to immediately halt the emissary's moves.

"Why would she act against a little one?" Huang Yelin couldn't help but question inwardly.

Soul Power lightly brushed Lu Yu's face, unraveling the Shadow Cloak, revealing the figures of Lu Yu and Hai Wei to all.

Upon seeing Hai Wei's figure, the Blue Ring King moved slightly, eyes roving from the Deep Sea Emissary to Huang Yelin, then towards the rapidly approaching powerful aura, but did not act.

The Deep Sea Emissary directly erupted with Demonic Power towards Lu Yu, causing the ever-revolving whirlpool to temporarily cease its spin.

Soul Power suddenly exploded, attacking Huang Yelin, while the Deep Sea Emissary hastily approached Lu Yu.

Under attack, Huang Yelin's focus diverted to mitigating the emissary's strikes, leaving insufficient strength to prevent her reaching Lu Yu.

Over the past kilometers distance, the Deep Sea Emissary reached Lu Yu before he could react.

Suddenly, Lu Yu felt a surge from within Hai Wei's body, a burst of multicolored light emanating from her, repelling the approaching Deep Sea Emissary.

After the multicolored light subsided, Lu Yu finally realized the power hadn't originated from Hai Wei's body, but from the Seven-Colored Rainbow Robe she wore.

Someone remotely manipulated the Seven-Colored Rainbow Robe, unleashing its power and directly ejecting the Deep Sea Emissary.

The deep-sea whale's figure emerged on the sea surface, visible to Lu Yu, with a blue-haired woman standing atop, looking towards him.

She glanced at Lu Yu, noting Hai Wei was unharmed, then shifted her gaze to the distantly flying Deep Sea Emissary, who was now miles away, still retreating.

"Daring to impersonate royalty, I want to see who you really are."

An immense, vigorous Soul Power instantly stretched over kilometers, halting the 'Deep Sea Emissary' in her mad escape and pulling her back from afar.

Feeling surrounded by the potent Soul Power, the "Deep Sea Emissary" ceased resistance, dragged back to overhead the whirlpool.

The deep-sea whale took a glance at the whirlpool, forcefully inhaling seawater, causing the whirlpool to collapse into raging sea currents flowing into the whale's maw.

Whoosh~ A massive water column spouted from the whale's nasal top, resembling a violent storm upon the sea surface, myriad droplets hammering down, gradually calming the sea.

None present would be soaked by the seawater, even the weakest, Lu Yu could use Spiritual Power to repel the water.

Yet inside, the Deep Sea Emissary felt cold with dread from the deluge.

If Huang Yelin's and the Blue Ring King's confrontation caused the whirlpool, representing the emissary's plot, then with the real emissary's arrival, the plot was shattered.

Undone by absolute power from the deep-sea royalty.

"Reveal your true form; I want to see who's masquerading as royalty." Hai Yuling's voice rang.

"Since you've uncovered me, there's no need to hide." The Deep Sea Emissary's voice abruptly turned male, then her body blurred, quivering, expanding, transforming into a blue sea dragon before all.

"Sea Dragon Race?" Hai Yuling remarked to the Deep Sea Emissary turned sea dragon, calmly.

"Our Sea Dragon Race's Holy King has returned; to replace the Merfolk Clan as royalty is only a matter of time. Fealty to the Sea Dragon Race will preserve your tribe's legacy; otherwise, when the time comes, we'll annihilate your kind mercilessly."
