The incident happened so suddenly that Long Yeyue didn't have time to think it through and pressed her hands down sharply.
A thick shield of soul power instantly formed, forcefully blocking the Demon Shark's Fang from reaching him.
The light blades struck the shield, producing a teeth-grinding scraping sound, and a violent energy storm was instantly unleashed.
Before the storm had subsided, Long Yeyue, who had keenly spotted the location of the underwater creature, did not hesitate and unleashed a powerful punch.
Dark soul power rapidly condensed behind her, transforming into a ferocious black dragon phantom that let out a deafening roar.
That punch, as if swallowing up all the surrounding light with the gaping maw of the giant dragon phantom, flew towards its target beneath the sea with endless darkness and distortion.
Long Yeyue, who unleashed this terrifying punch, seemed to have gone mad. Yet, in that instant, an indescribable sense of pleasure surged from the depths of her heart.
The pent-up frustration that had been weighing on his heart for a century seemed to vanish completely with that punch.
The fluctuations of soul power within his body increased several points without warning at this moment, and the threshold of quasi-god that was originally just a step away became within reach.
"Hahaha, I see. No wonder I could never reach the threshold of quasi-god despite possessing two of the most powerful dragon-type martial souls. It turns out that the Holy Light Dragon martial soul was holding me back!"
Breakthrough in the face of battle This made Long Yeyue burst into unrestrained and joyful laughter.
But the next second, the maniacal laughter stopped abruptly, like a rooster being choked.
Ahead of the rampaging black dragon, the sea princess appeared out of nowhere, her eyes gleaming with dazzling golden light.
Behind her, a mermaid phantom several meters tall appeared, holding a hexagonal crystal that looked remarkably like the Vast Ocean Crystal.
The Sea Princess held the Heart of the Ocean high, and the black dragon carrying terrifying dark energy was instantly wiped out from the world the moment it approached within a few feet of the Heart of the Ocean, leaving not a trace of its energy behind.
Upon witnessing this bizarre scene, Long Yeyue's eyes widened suddenly, her face filled with an incredulous and stunned expression.
As the Heart of the Ocean became immune to Long Yeyue's attack and even absorbed and fed back that enormous energy, the Sea Princess's entire body had turned golden.
The vast spiritual power surged forth, causing the sea, stretching for thousands of miles, to churn endlessly.
"Then I'll return it to you."
The sea princess parted her red lips slightly, her voice indifferent.
A dark blue water column, condensed with a massive amount of spiritual power, violent water elements, and the dark elements carried in Long Yeyue's attack, shot into the sky.
Like a waterspout, it carried a devastating force and shot straight towards Long Yeyue.
In the instant that terrifying energy raged, the light in the sky above the entire icy sea dimmed.
Faced with this unavoidable attack, Long Yeyue felt as if her heart had stopped beating, and the shadow of death once again loomed over her.
Without any further thought, the Vast Ocean Universe Crystal instantly appeared on her left hand.
In the palm of her right hand, a drop of blood radiating a blue-gold hue was floating.
Long Yeyue suddenly slammed her right hand down hard on the floating Vast Ocean Universe Crystal.
As the drop of essence blood merged into it, a dazzling blue-gold halo immediately erupted from the crystal.
Then, a phantom trident, radiating supreme majesty, suddenly materialized in the void.
A strange buzzing sound resounded throughout the heavens and the earth. The sea, which had been churning and surging under the control of the sea princess, suddenly returned to calm as if it had been paused.
The dark blue water column, upon touching the trident phantom, was completely reduced to nothingness under the absolute suppression of the sea god's authority.
Meanwhile, Chen Xinjie, who was locked in battle with Di Tian, felt a sudden tremor in his heart.
Sensing the activated Vast Ocean Universe Crystal, his inner anxiety instantly reached its peak.
Long Yeyue's decision to use that drop of essence blood meant that she was already or was about to fall into a potentially fatal situation.
A resolute glint flashed in Chen Xinjie's eyes as he controlled the hundreds-of-feet-tall sea giant to unleash a devastating punch at the golden-eyed black dragon, a punch meant to take them both down with him.
However, at the very moment the fist and the dragon clashed, the enormous giant's body collapsed without warning, driven by Chen Xinjie's will.
The mighty seawater transformed into a raging torrent that seemed to pour down like a celestial river, painting the entire world into a sea of blue-gold light.
Under the cover of the towering water curtain, Chen Xinjie's figure instantly broke away from the battlefield, transforming into a dazzling stream of light, and rushed madly towards the direction where Long Yeyue was.
Seeing Chen Xinjie flee, Di Tian snorted coldly again.
With a casual slash of the Black Dragon Sword in his hand, a pitch-black spatial rift was instantly torn open, and then he stepped into it.
For a Limit Douluo unleashing their full power, a distance of over a hundred miles is something that can be covered in the blink of an eye.
However, Di Tian, who had a profound understanding of the laws of space, appeared like a ghost, constantly extending his sword from the void, forcing Chen Xinjie to stop in his tracks time and time again.
This short distance, which used to be covered in an instant, took Chen Xinjie a full three seconds to break through the blockade amidst constant resistance and attempts to break through.
When he finally arrived at the sea area where Long Yeyue was, he saw that the Sea Princess and Xiaobai were unable to move under the suppression of the phantom of the Sea God's Trident.
Just as Chen Xinjie was about to relax, wanting to go forward and join Long Yeyue before forcibly breaking through and leaving.
The next second, something unexpected happened.
Without warning, strange, eight-colored halos appeared on the sea surface within a radius of several thousand meters beneath Long Yeyue.
That intense, almost tangible power of law actually broke through the absolute suppression of the Sea God's authority on the sea.
It's like mortal enemies destined to meet again.
Sensing this provocative aura, the phantom of Poseidon's trident in mid-air erupted with an unprecedented blue-gold halo, emitting bursts of angry buzzing.
Beneath the sea, a deep whale cry suddenly rang out.
Accompanied by a deafening roar, an enormous column of water shot into the sky, transforming in mid-air into the phantom of a deep-sea demon whale over a hundred feet long.
Suddenly, the massive tail of the deep-sea demon whale lashed out and slammed heavily onto the sea surface.
The sea, which had been calm as a mirror under the pressure of Poseidon's trident, suddenly began to surge violently.
The towering waves roared and surged hundreds of meters into the air, quickly closing in mid-air to form a crystal-clear azure light curtain that completely sealed off the sea area.
The light curtain spun rapidly, quickly forming a huge deep-sea vortex.
With terrifying compressive force like a landslide and a tsunami, it was about to crush Long Yeyue, who was in the center of the vortex, into dust.
Chen Xinjie stared at Long Yeyue, who was struggling in the vortex, and felt his eyes widen in horror.
The Nine-Colored One is the true god, while the Eight-Colored One is only one step away from becoming a god.
This is undoubtedly the power remaining of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, who was recorded in the ancient texts as having died at the hands of the Sea God Tang San.
If the Vast Ocean Universe Crystal were in his hands, with his quasi-god cultivation, he might be able to suppress the Law Domain of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
Long Yeyue barely managed to resonate by burning a drop of her own Sea God's blood essence. In addition, she had already expended a large amount of the power of law stored in the crystal in order to break the curse of the Heart of the Ocean.
Now, faced with the terrifying domain created by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, even he cannot easily break into it to rescue people.
In his anxiety, Chen Xinjie used his Divine Origin Realm spiritual power to instantly scan the surroundings.
Soon they sensed Lan Fuzi, who was focused on activating the power of the whale pearl, on an iceberg several miles away.
Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Xinjie spat out a mouthful of blue-gold essence blood, which was then completely absorbed into the four-word battle armor on his body.
His already aged face instantly became even more withered, but like oil being poured into a raging fire, the light source of the four-character battle armor on his body burned even more intensely, and the sea god helmet he wore burst out with dazzling brilliance.
His momentum surged upwards again, and with one step, he appeared in the sky above Lan Fuzi before even Di Tiandu could react.
Chen Xinjie suddenly pressed his hands down, forming claw-like shapes.
The surrounding sea seemed to merge with his arms at this moment, and the endless power of the ocean transformed into a giant hand that blotted out the sky, pressing down hard on Lan Fuzi below.
He let out a chilling roar:
"Stop right now, or I'll kill this 100,000-year-old sea spirit beast!"
Lan Fuzi, who was completely absorbed in activating the power of the whale pearl, suddenly felt the terrifying, omnipresent pressure of the surrounding space, and the suffocating feeling of death rushed towards him.
Looking at the giant hand pressing down on her head like the sky collapsing, Lan Fuzi's face turned deathly pale, her mind went blank, and she fell into a brief state of stagnation.
Long before Chen Xinjie rushed over despite everything, Huo Yuhao, who had been hiding in the void, saw Long Yeyue use the Vast Ocean Universe Crystal to suddenly reverse the situation and wanted to find an opportunity to take it away.
But who would have thought that Lan Fuzi, who had secretly followed them without anyone noticing, would directly activate the power of the whale pearl.
The two forces of law collided, shattering the space at the battle point and making it impossible for him to get close, let alone obtain the Vast Ocean Universe Crystal.
Chen Xinjie then burned his Sea God bloodline and mobilized the remaining power of the sea to rush straight towards Lan Fuzi.
Chen Xinjie then burned his Sea God bloodline and mobilized the remaining power of the sea to rush straight towards Lan Fuzi.
Huo Yuhao's gaze sharpened. Due to Chen Xinjie's intervention, the power of the whale pearl and the Vast Ocean Universe Crystal briefly canceled each other out, revealing a fleeting gap in the previously tightly locked space.
With a flash of silver light, before anyone could react, a crimson-gold dragon claw emerged from the void and tightly grasped the Vast Ocean Universe Crystal that was suspended in mid-air.
The next instant, the wisp of divine consciousness that had been captured and separated from Wang Dong'er and belonged to Tang San of the God Realm resonated violently with the crystal under Huo Yuhao's control.
Countless fine cracks, like a spider web, covered the surface of the Vast Ocean Universe Crystal. As the dragon claw exerted its force, a crisp explosion suddenly rang out.
The crystal that symbolized the heart of the sea god was completely crushed into dust in Huo Yuhao's hands.
A terrifying energy storm swept wildly outwards from this center, with countless blue-gold powders drifting and falling into the sea below.
This sudden turn of events left both Long Yeyue and Chen Xinjie momentarily stunned.
They simply couldn't imagine that the Vast Ocean Crystal, which had been worshipped by Shrek Academy for generations, would be destroyed in such a simple and brutal way.
As the powder from those crystals of the Vast Ocean merged into the sea, the entire ocean seemed to emit an unprecedented and strange buzzing sound.
At this moment, all the marine creatures in the Douluo plane felt as if an invisible shackle within their bodies had quietly broken, and their souls and bodies had ushered in unprecedented freedom.
However, Chen Xinjie, who has the blood of the sea god flowing through his veins, felt the complete opposite.
His face suddenly turned deathly pale, and the helmet he wore was instantly covered with shocking cracks, as if it would shatter at any moment.
The fear of being cut off from the sea made him let out a roar:
"No, this is impossible. How could you possibly unleash the power of the sea? Who are you?"
Huo Yuhao ignored Chen Xinjie's hysterical questioning.
With the dissipation of the old authority of the sea god, it was declared that the divine position of the sea god, which had ruled the sea for tens of thousands of years, was completely shattered.
The power of the ocean that Chen Xinjie had mobilized with the authority of the Sea God could no longer be responded to. The giant ocean hand that was about to crush Lan Fuzi also collapsed in an instant, turning into water vapor and disappearing without a trace.
The silver light flashed again.
Taking advantage of the moment when Chen Xinjie was so distraught by the shattering of the Sea God's authority that he had no time to think about anything else.
Huo Yuhao's figure had already appeared beside Lan Fuzi.
Looking at the blue-haired girl in front of him, who was so frightened that she had forgotten how to run away, Huo Yuhao felt a sense of helplessness.
Without saying much, he simply reached out and took her small hand, took a step, and teleported her to the sea surface several miles away.
Before Huo Yuhao could even settle the still-shaken Lan Fuzi down...
The whale pearl, which had begun to dim after being freed from Lan Fuzi's control, suddenly burst forth with an extremely dazzling purple-gold light.
A cold and crazed female voice suddenly exploded across the world:
"Whoever dares to harm my daughter, I will make sure they die a horrible death!"
The once azure sea was instantly dyed into an eerie purple-gold color.
Within this eerie light, the figure of a woman with an exceptionally voluptuous figure, yet exuding a suffocating aura, materialized.
Her long, purplish-black hair danced wildly behind her head. Her skin, beneath the dark purple dress, was covered with hideous and terrifying purple-gold demonic patterns.
Those eyes, glowing with a purple light, held a madness and violence capable of destroying everything.
Originally, near Devil Island, the Demon Queen was trying to suppress the growing evil thoughts within her body by using life energy. However, when she sensed that the whale pearl left by her husband had been touched and had even broken free from her daughter's control, her sanity completely collapsed.
This is her only remaining attachment in this world.
The mere thought of possibly losing his daughter instantly transformed the fear from the depths of his soul into an insatiable desire for destruction.
Sensing the lingering aura of the Sea God on Chen Xinjie, who was extremely close by, the Demon Emperor's already crazed eyes turned completely bloodshot.
With a casual wave of her hand, she summoned the whale pearl back into her palm, a chilling smile spreading across her lips, her voice filled with deep-seated resentment:
"Sea God, it's the Sea God again. You bunch of Sea God's lackeys, you weren't satisfied with murdering my husband back then, now you dare to lay a hand on my daughter?"
"Since you're all so loyal, then I'll send you to reunite with Tang San. All of you, die!"
With this roar filled with resentment, a world-destroying aura of madness erupted from the Demon Emperor's body.
She suddenly raised both hands towards the sky, and the originally azure sky was instantly dyed a suffocating purplish-black.
The air within a radius of a hundred miles seemed to be sucked out in an instant, and an extremely oppressive atmosphere enveloped the entire sea area, as if the end of the world had arrived.
Faced with this sudden and terrifying pressure, Chen Xinjie, whose condition was already extremely poor, changed his expression drastically once again.
Ignoring everything else, he screamed at Long Yeyue, "Yeyue, don't worry about me, you have to go..."
However, before he could finish speaking...
Long Yeyue, who had sensed the deadly danger the moment this strange woman appeared, did not hesitate at all.
In an instant, he transformed into a streak of black light, frantically hurtling towards the land.
In the blink of an eye, all that remained in Chen Xinjie's eyes was that tiny black dot on the horizon that was rapidly receding into the distance.
The Demon Emperor paid no attention to Long Yeyue, who was fleeing in a panic like a rat. He only looked at Chen Xinjie, who remained in place, and let out a mocking sneer:
"Ha, is this what you humans call emotion? When disaster strikes, everyone flies away. It seems your devotion has been misplaced."
But don't be too sad. Don't worry, she'll come down to be with you soon.
Watching Long Yeyue disappear completely into the horizon, Chen Xinjie opened his mouth, trying to convince himself that this was all just human nature.
This was something I was originally going to do for her, and besides, Ye Yue's cultivation level was far inferior to mine.
Moreover, Ye Yue also has the heavy responsibility of reviving the child of the Heavenly Favored Douluo, how could she die in such a place?
But when this scene actually happened before my eyes, the indescribable desolation deep in my heart just wouldn't go away.
The weakness after burning the bloodline of the sea god, the despair of collapsing faith, and the resolute back of his "lover" who never looked back—these three blows completely crushed Chen Xinjie.
His aura visibly weakened, and even the four-word battle armor that had been wriggling and trying to repair itself fell silent.
Clearly, this Vast Ocean Douluo, who in his later years thought he had come to his senses and was willing to give up everything for love, had already resolved to die at this moment.
A huge vortex began to appear in the purplish-black sky, and countless violent lightning snakes swam wildly within it.
As the Demon Emperor raised his hands and swung them down fiercely towards Chen Xinjie, terrifying bolts of purple lightning, thicker than water buckets, struck down with an aura of annihilation.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye, so fast that even Huo Yuhao and the others didn't have time to react.
Under the relentless baptism of terrifying lightning, Chen Xinjie, who had long lost all will to fight, vanished into nothingness along with his four-word battle armor in the lightning.
Only the pitch-black helmet of Poseidon remained, floating alone on the sea.
