Take Care

"What an arrogant kid."

As Su Cheng finished speaking, Sea Horse Douluo frowned and took a step forward.

He immediately prepared to summon his Martial Soul to fight.

Seeing this, the others also stepped forward, not wanting to be outdone.

"Ou Ya." Bo Saixi called out softly, stopping Sea Horse Douluo.

He then looked at the other Sacred Pillar Douluo, "You may all step back; you can't get involved."

No one could sense Su Cheng's power at this moment better than her.

In the dim light, there was already a trace of the spirit of that person in my memory after he became Titled Douluo.

Moreover, a deeper threat lurked beneath the glacier, making her feel uneasy and even carrying the looming shadow of death.

Looking at Su Cheng, Bo Saixi did not rush to attack, but instead floated back into the air.

At the same time, he raised the sacrificial scepter, which resembled a spear, high in his hand.

A blue ripple spread outwards from this center.

The next moment, eight golden pillars of light shot into the sky from all parts of the island, then formed a light shield that completely enveloped Poseidon Island. The thickest pillar of light in the very center came from the Poseidon Temple on Poseidon Mountain, which was right in front of them.

Su Cheng glanced at the golden light shield that had formed in the air, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his face showed a hint of solemnity. "Divine power..."

This grand formation appears to originate from the seven Sacred Pillar scattered across Sea God Island, and together with Sea God Mountain, they form a unified whole.

That's not actually the case.

This formation is integrated with the entire island, and its core is the seven Sacred Pillar located in the Sea God Hall.

As for the seven Sacred Pillar scattered across the island, they are merely hubs for improving efficiency, not key elements in forming the array.

This also means that, unlike the crude way the Seven Sacred Pillars were used when issuing the Sea God Trial or protecting the Sacred Pillar Douluo, what is being shown now is genuine divine power.

This major formation would never have been activated if Sea God Island had not faced an existential crisis.

Seeing that even the protective formation of Sea God Island was activated by Bo Saixi immediately, the seven Sacred Pillar Douluo who had retreated to a distance all changed their expressions slightly.

They hadn't expected that the High Priest Bo Saixi, whose power they considered comparable to a god, would be so decisive, immediately resorting to the resources of Sea God Island.

It's important to understand that using this grand formation is no easy feat; the price to pay is extremely high.

Each activation requires at least several hundred years of accumulated divine power on Sea God Island. And as the duration of the formation increases, the actual cost will be several times greater.

In the absence of God-level powerhouses in the human realm, extracting divine power is incredibly difficult. Yet, Bo Saixi used it without hesitation, demonstrating the extent of her regard for Su Cheng.

"What a waste..."

Looking at the array that was constantly radiating power outwards, Su Cheng muttered something under his breath.

Using divine power in this way, the utilization rate is less than 10%, and the vast majority is wasted.

However, despite the waste, the power is always real and undeniable.

He certainly wouldn't be careless, much less sit idly by and wait for his doom.

The pale pink Seventh Soul Ring beneath his feet lit up.

Seventh Soul Skill: Longevity True Body - Stage One.

The moment Su Cheng unleashed his Tool Soul Avatar, his aura completely changed.

At the same moment, all the sword energies that filled the surrounding area lost their color and turned into sharp sword beams as transparent as glass.

At this moment, all the countless sword energies that originally permeated the Sword Dao Domain transformed into Innate Sword Qi!

Of course, as he unleashed his extremely powerful Tool Soul Avatar, Su Cheng's profound Soul Power, far exceeding his level, was also being rapidly depleted.

On the other side, Bo Saixi was not to be outdone. Golden light rose from beneath Bo Saixi feet, and nine Soul Ring— eight black and one red—swirled and circled around her.

Although only one of the nine Soul Rings that appeared beneath her feet was at the 100,000-year level, all of them, including the first eight black Soul Ring, emitted a pale golden light.

This is her special power as a guardian of the gods.

Her long, sea-blue hair, reaching her waist, danced in the wind, and her red dress fluttered like fire.

A huge golden phantom gradually emerged from behind Bo Saixi. Although its appearance was not clear, its magnificent golden armor was extremely distinct.

Sea God Martial Soul!

As this Martial Soul appeared, the entire ocean seemed to respond to her call, even though the two of them couldn't see it.

Sea God Island, waves surged and the wind and waves roared.

The boundless Vast Sea Power merged into her Sea God's Domain.

On the sea.

Especially on this Sea God Island.

Bo Saixi is far more than just a level 99 Peerless Douluo.

She is the spokesperson for the Sea God!

He is the strongest person in the world with one foot in the door of God-level!

Not to mention, the sky was also shrouded in a God-level array formed by the Seven Sacred Pillars and the Sea God Island and Poseidon Sea God Mountain.

As the Sea God Martial Soul manifested and the Vast Sea Power was injected, the azure Sea God's Domain rapidly expanded, colliding violently with Su Cheng's dual domains, striving to seize the initiative in the environment.

The waves, shimmering with a faint golden light, surged and relentlessly advanced towards Su Cheng's foothold.

Even a random fluctuation of energy generated during the expansion of the domain is enough to rival the full-force attack of Peak Douluo.

At this moment, the Bright Moon hanging in the sky within the Five Elements Domain began to emit a faint moonlight.

The soft moonlight, like water, spilled down and fell upon the sea.

From the moment Su Cheng unleashed his domain, this sword technique entered a charging state.

Now, the seemingly gentle moonlight is actually formed by the convergence of countless sword energies, and its power is extremely astonishing.

Even when facing the Sea God's Domain, which contained divine power, it was not at a disadvantage, constantly weakening and wearing down the opponent's invisible offensive.

Moreover, with the replenishment of the Undying Sword Intent, the consumption rate is far lower than Bo Saixi's expectations.

Throughout this process, Su Cheng, standing below, did not pay much attention to the clash between the two domains.

He simply concentrated his mind and held the sword with both hands, slowly raising it upwards at a constant speed, his eyes vacant.

Sword Fifteen, Empty Mountain.

As the longsword was raised in front of him, a huge sword shadow pierced the sky, slashing towards the red-clad figure not far away.

The Empty Mountain Sword Style used this time has undergone a qualitative change compared to the past.

This is a powerful sword move executed by activating the Martial Soul Avatar state and using Innate Power.

Bo Saixi's Seventh Soul Ring lit up as she stood in mid-air.

Then, the Sea God Phantom behind her stepped forward and merged with her, his entire body covered in golden armor.

As the Sea God's True Body was unleashed, the intensity of her aura instantly increased several times over.

He immediately stretched out his right hand, and a blade of light slashed down.

The next moment, the sword shadow and the light blade collided with a deafening roar.

The powerful sword technique, imbued with terrifying Annihilation Sword Intent, gained a slight advantage in its clash with the light blade containing divine power.

After obliterating it, its momentum did not diminish, and it continued to rush straight towards Bo Saixi's body.

Unfortunately, under the suppression of the island-protecting formation, it was ultimately unable to advance any further and truly harm Bo Saixi's main body.

The tattered sword shadow swept forward for a distance before being completely consumed.

Su Cheng was not surprised by this result.

Not to mention that Bo Saixi was already strong, this was also their home ground, with the Vast Sea Power constantly replenishing them from behind.

Even if these powers cannot bring about a qualitative change in her strength, it is still easy to enhance her defense and buffer the attacks she receives.

Unless he uses an attack far exceeding the opponent's level, Bo Saixi is practically invincible in this place.

Bo Saixi breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing this.

She could sense that the sword strike just now was almost the strongest move Su Cheng could use.

Even the most brilliant genius has a limit to the number of Self-Created Soul Skill they can use.

The power contained in that sword strike had increased to an extremely exaggerated level; it was definitely not an ordinary probing Soul Skill.

With the opponent's current Soul Power reserves, they simply cannot use that sword technique many times.

Su Cheng isn't stupid; he would never do anything pointless like an ordinary person. He most likely used his full strength in that sword strike just now.

After advancing to Soul Saint, Su Cheng was naturally extremely powerful.

He could even briefly exchange blows with himself Peerless Douluo at level 99, without being at a disadvantage.

But so what?

In this place, her Soul Power is inexhaustible, and there is no concern about any consumption.

However, looking at Su Cheng, even if his powerful sword move in the form of the Bright Moon lasts for a very long time, it will eventually run out of strength.

As long as they keep at it, defeat is only a matter of time.

However, Bo Saixi did not dare to relax too much.

Su Cheng's behavior after his promotion was very strange.

He has never been an arrogant person.

If they didn't have any trump cards, they wouldn't have faced the enemy in this manner; they would have definitely chosen to break through with all their might immediately.

"Stop, Su Cheng. I don't want to kill you." Bo Saixi's voice was majestic and lofty, like a god judging mortals from the clouds.

"Kill me?" Su Cheng smiled, a strange glint in his eyes.

His expression immediately darkened, and he said indifferently, "Then let's give it a try."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Bo Saixi frowned, a hint of anger flashing in her eyes, which were hidden by golden light.

Immediately, the Ninth Soul Ring beneath his feet lit up.

With bursts of golden light, a water sphere made entirely of energy appeared in the fair palm.

The moment the golden water sphere appeared, a terrifying aura spread outwards uncontrollably.

That was a fluctuation of divine power!

At this moment, Bo Saixi, in his mortal form, used the power of a god!

But that's far from all.

In the sky, a large amount of golden light descended from the protective array formed by the island, converging into the golden water sphere in Bo Saixi's hand.

The next moment, the water sphere stretched and transformed into a golden trident that was almost tangible, which she held in her hand.

The moment the halberd tip was pointed at him, Su Cheng felt his hair stand on end, his neck felt like it was being scraped by a blade, and an extremely strong sense of threat surged through him like a tidal wave.

After staring at the halberd for a moment, Su Cheng sighed softly, "Very well."

The pale pink Seventh Soul Ring lit up once more.

The Longevity True Body - Second Stage!

The Bright Moon in the sky transformed into a transparent and invisible sword light, falling into his hand and merging with the Longevity Sword.

The countless sword energies that had surrounded him dissipated completely.

The two realms vanished in an instant.

The powerful aura was completely concealed within itself.

Between heaven and earth, it seemed as if only one person and one sword remained.

"Sword Seventeen, Leaning on Heaven".

Su Cheng pointed, and the longsword, like a streak of light, flashed across the sky at a speed too fast for the naked eye to perceive.

His figure disappeared with the sword light.

Without a sound, the golden trident formed by divine power completely vanished.

"Boom--"

A moment later, a tremendous roar resounded Sea God Island.

The protective array surrounding the island shattered with a deafening roar.

The Sea God's Light outside Sea God Mountain rippled outwards.

At the same time, the seven Sacred Pillar scattered throughout Sea God Island were also covered with dense cracks.

Even with the previous ninth Soul Skill as a buffer, Bo Saixi, who went straight for the sword's edge, was still severely injured.

His internal organs were damaged to varying degrees, his face turned deathly pale, and blood gushed from his seven orifices.

Bathed in the bloody light, even the most beautiful face appeared somewhat grotesque.

This was because Su Cheng's attack targets were only the great formation and the trident, and he did not directly attack her.

Otherwise, even if Bo Saixi were to unleash his full power at this moment, he would likely not be able to save his life.

However, the golden scepter that symbolized her status as the High Priest had disappeared from her hand.

At this moment, Su Cheng had already fled far away with the sword light, instantly leaving Sea God Island several miles away.

After that one strike, he was completely exhausted.

But Bo Saixi was clearly unable to pursue them.

"Teacher, this is the last time I'll call you that." Su Cheng's voice came from afar.

"Please take care of yourself from now on. There's no need to harbor such deep hostility towards me. I'll keep this key for a while for now."

With her face as pale as paper Bo Saixi struggled to control her body as she landed at the Sea God Mountain.

After standing on the ground, he couldn't help but cough up another mouthful of blood, his eyes appearing somewhat dim.

"Why must it be this way? Is the divine inheritance that countless mortals yearn for yet can only dream of, so utterly insignificant in your eyes...?"
