The Myriad Worlds, Return to Ruin!

The Sea God didn't stop. His second strike followed close behind.

He pressed his trident down, and the seawater condensed into countless ice spikes that stabbed in from every direction.

Agares took three or four of them head-on, leaving several bloody holes in his arm.

Vassago's calculations couldn't keep up with the rapid pace. He miscalculated one step, and an ice spike pierced his thigh from the side. With a muffled grunt, he fell to his knees.

"Vassago!" Agares reached out to pull him up.

The Sea God stepped in close, thrusting his trident at Agares's chest.

Agares stood in front of Vassago and crossed his arms to take the blow head-on. The trident pierced his barrier and drove into his left shoulder, pinning him to the stone pillar behind him.

"Second Brother!"

Vassago struggled to his feet and raised a hand, sending a flash of starlight at the Sea God, who casually waved it away.

He walked over and pressed his trident against Agares's throat, his tone calm.

"I told you: reveal the one pulling the strings, and I would leave your corpses intact. I've changed my mind. No matter what, neither of you will leave so much as a bone behind!"

Agares spat out a mouthful of blood and laughed.

"Then I'll die. It's not like I haven't died once already!"

The Sea God's eyes narrowed, and he pressed the trident down.

Just then, the sky suddenly darkened.

The light across the entire sky dimmed all at once.

The Sea God looked up, frowning.

He felt a presence bearing down from the heavens, so powerful that even the divine light on his trident dimmed for an instant.

A massive purple rift tore open in midair, fragments of space crackling and falling from its edges.

Footsteps sounded from within the rift, treading on the void. The sound of shattering glass rang out with particular clarity.

Feng Xiu emerged from the rift in purple robes, his pace unhurried.

Behind him, two Heaven-Defying Demon Dragons poked out their heads, their purple-black scales glowing faintly. Their draconic eyes swept downward, and the pressure that descended made even the Sea God retreat half a step.

The Sea God tightened his grip on his trident, his expression changing.

Feng Xiu landed on the roof of the Inheritance Hall and looked down at Agares, pinned to the stone pillar, and Vassago, kneeling on the ground. His gaze was calm, but something lay beneath that calm.

"You."

His voice wasn't loud, but it forced back half the divine might the Sea God had just unleashed.

"Who gave you the courage to lay a hand on my people?"

Feng Xiu landed on the roof of the Inheritance Hall. The two Heaven-Defying Demon Dragons coiled behind him, one on either side, their draconic eyes fixed on the Sea God as low dragon roars rumbled in their throats.

The Sea God instinctively retreated half a step. Even he felt ashamed of it: a dignified First-Level God, forced back by the presence of an alien from a lower realm. If word reached the Divine Realm, people would laugh their teeth out.

But he knew full well that the presence that had just borne down on him was on a completely different level from the other aliens.

"Who are you?"

The Sea God steadied his feet and held his trident across his body.

Feng Xiu didn't answer. He raised a hand and grasped at the void.

A dark purple rift opened beside his palm, and a pitch-black longsword slowly emerged from it. Dark red patterns flowed along the blade as though alive, and as its edge appeared, even the surrounding air crackled and exploded.

A second rift opened immediately afterward, and a suit of equally dark armor floated out. Its plates fastened themselves around Feng Xiu one by one, dark purple patterns of light spreading along the seams and enveloping him completely.

The Heaven-Defying Demon God Sword and the Heaven-Defying Demon God Armor.

With the appearance of the two Super Divine Artifacts, Feng Xiu's presence surged. The pressure that had only slightly surpassed the Sea God's now doubled outright.

The Sea God's grip on his trident tightened. He stared at the two divine artifacts, his gaze changing.

A trace of greed flashed in his eyes.

Two Super Divine Artifacts!

Even among the God Kings of the Divine Realm, possessing a single Super Divine Artifact was as good as it got. Yet this fellow had two on him.

Thoughts raced through the Sea God's mind. If he killed this alien here, both Super Divine Artifacts would be his.

With those two things, his standing on the God Realm Committee could rise by a great deal, perhaps even putting him on equal footing with the God Kings.

"Brat."

The Sea God spoke in a milder tone than before, though his lofty attitude remained.

"Those two things of yours aren't bad. Hand them over, and I might consider sparing your life."

Feng Xiu lowered the Demon God Sword to his side and glanced at him without speaking, but the look in his eyes was no different from the one he'd give a fool.

The smile on the Sea God's face stiffened.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing at you for coveting someone else's things when death is at your door," Feng Xiu said flatly.

The Sea God's face darkened.

"Arrogant. Don't think that having two Super Divine Artifacts means you can withstand the divine power of a First-Level God."

As soon as the words left his mouth, he thrust his trident forward. This time he held nothing back, driving his divine power to its limit as a ring of white waves exploded from the sea beneath his feet.

Feng Xiu raised his sword to meet him, and the Demon God Sword collided with the trident.

The shock wave tore away half the Inheritance Hall's roof.

Even part of Sea God Island itself was smashed beneath the sea.

Vassago pulled the gravely injured Agares away into the distance.

"Big Brother..."

The two brothers looked at Feng Xiu's back, their hearts full of worry.

The Sea God pressed his attack, thrusting his trident again and again. Every strike carried divine power, and each was more than twice as forceful as those he had used against Agares and Vassago.

Feng Xiu blocked seven or eight strikes with his sword and retreated three steps.

The Sea God breathed half a sigh of relief.

This alien isn't much after all.

But in the next second.

The Sea God's attention wavered, and he was half a beat too slow. A gash opened in his armor, and divine blood seeped out.

The Sea God glanced down at the wound beneath his ribs, and his expression changed completely.

"You..."

"I underestimated you," the Sea God said, steadying himself and catching his breath.

"There's a lot you've underestimated."

Feng Xiu drew back his sword and stood still. He glanced up at the sky, then suddenly raised a hand and pressed it toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

Before the Sea God could understand what he was doing, Sea God Island shuddered violently beneath his feet.

Above the distant sea, a massive dark purple pillar squeezed its way out of the void inch by inch. The patterns of light on its surface blazed, and the sky over the entire sea changed color.

"Demon God Pillar!"

"Activate!"

Space was forcibly torn open. The moment the Demon God Pillar descended, the laws of Douluo Continent were twisted until they creaked.

The Sea God looked up at the descending Demon God Pillar, the color slowly draining from his face.

"Another top-tier Super Divine Artifact?"

Feng Xiu drew his hand back, dark purple light circling his fingertips.

"I have more than you imagine."

"If a god stands in my way, I shall slay that god!"

"Everything ends here!"

"Myriad Worlds, Divine Ruin!"

Feng Xiu held the Demon God Sword horizontally before him, and dark purple light exploded from the blade.

Ripples spread outward in rings, enveloping all of Sea God Island in the blink of an eye.

Within the domain, the sky darkened completely, and the seawater froze motionless in midair.

The divine power on the trident in the Sea God's hand was suppressed as well.

The Sea God's expression changed, and he took a step back.

"A domain? It can even affect me?"

Feng Xiu didn't respond. Demon God Sword in hand, he took a step forward.
