A Speck of Rice Dares to Shine? Wei Tianchen Was Stunned: What, Sea God Island Had Already Disbanded?

Sea Horse Douluo was completely dumbfounded.

His mind went blank, utterly consumed by the scene before him that shattered everything he knew.

An Innate Martial Soul?

When the primary Martial Soul absorbed a Soul Ring, the other one automatically gained it too?

How could such an unreasonable Martial Soul exist in this world?!

One 100,000-year Soul Ring brought four 100,000-year soul skills...

How was anyone supposed to fight that?

This was no longer mere suppression through Soul Power Level. This was a Dimensional Strike in Martial Soul quality!

Yet the countless eyes watching him, along with the last shred of dignity he possessed as a Titled Douluo, left him no room to retreat.

Sea Horse Douluo knew that today would likely be his end, but even if he died, he had to die like a warrior!

"Arrogant brat! Don't think you can do whatever you want just because your Soul Ring configuration is good!"

Sea Horse Douluo forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart and roared, his entire aura erupting as well.

"Martial Soul Avatar!"

A gigantic sea horse dozens of meters tall, entirely azure and seemingly carved from the purest sea crystal, appeared behind him.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black!

Nine Soul Rings rose around him as well. Though they were far less dazzling than Wei Tianchen's, they still displayed the formidable foundation of a level 94 Titled Douluo.

"Ninth Soul Skill, Raging Sea Storm!"

Sea Horse Douluo immediately unleashed his strongest area attack, attempting to use the terrain to stir up towering waves and restrict Wei Tianchen's movements.

In an instant, the entire sea boiled!

Endless seawater was drawn forth by his Soul Power, transforming into walls of water hundreds of meters high.

Like ancient beasts, they surged in from every direction and crashed down upon Wei Tianchen!

The people of the entire Douluo Continent held their breath. The force of this attack was enough to easily smash apart a mountain peak!

Yet in the face of such an apocalyptic sight, Wei Tianchen still wore that same contemptuous sneer.

Wei Tianchen did not even take a single step. He merely slowly raised the Purple Flame Dragon Spear in his hand.

"A speck of rice dares to shine?"

Wei Tianchen spoke softly as the brilliant red glow of his ninth Soul Ring suddenly flared!

"Ninth Soul Skill—Purple Blazing Dragon Flame: Fen Tian!"

There was no earth-shattering spectacle. Wei Tianchen merely casually thrust his Dragon Spear forward.

A Purple-gold flame that was not particularly thick, yet condensed to the extreme, burst from the spear tip.

The flame seemed alive, transforming into a miniature purple-gold divine dragon in midair as it charged toward the overwhelming tidal waves.

The next second, a sight that silenced the entire world appeared.

Wherever the purple-gold flaming divine dragon passed, whether it was the hundred-meter waves or the immense Soul Power contained within them, everything was silently evaporated and annihilated the moment it made contact!

It was like a red-hot iron plunged into snow—unstoppable and utterly overwhelming!

"Pfft—!"

His soul skill shattered, Sea Horse Douluo was struck as though by lightning. He violently spat out a mouthful of blood, and even his Martial Soul Avatar began to sway violently, nearly collapsing.

After evaporating every last wave, the purple-gold flaming divine dragon lost none of its momentum and instantly appeared before Sea Horse Douluo.

"Not good!"

Sea Horse Douluo's pupils shrank to pinpoints. At the critical moment between life and death, he poured all his remaining Soul Power in front of himself.

He condensed an enormous Sea Horse Holy Shield.

"Eighth Soul Skill, Sea Horse Holy Shield!"

However, this holy shield, capable of withstanding the joint assault of several Titled Douluo of the same rank, was as thin as a cicada's wing before the purple-gold flaming divine dragon.

Crack—!

Without the slightest pause, the holy shield shattered on impact.

The purple-gold flaming divine dragon slammed viciously into Sea Horse Douluo's Martial Soul Avatar.

"Ah—!"

A shrill scream rang through the heavens.

Sea Horse Douluo's Martial Soul Avatar was forcibly pierced through, leaving behind an enormous hole.

He flew backward like a Broken Kite and crashed heavily onto the beach of Sea God Island.

His entire body was charred black, and his aura had wilted to the extreme.

One of his arms was twisted at an unnatural angle, clearly broken.

One move!

Just one move!

A level 94 Pillar Douluo had been utterly grievously injured on his own turf, without the slightest ability to fight back!

The entire Douluo Continent fell silent.

Every Soul Master felt a chill shoot from the soles of their feet straight to their scalps.

They had finally witnessed firsthand just how terrifying this Dragonkin from the Sun Moon Empire truly was!

Wei Tianchen withdrew his Dragon Spear. The phantom of the Purple Blazing Sky-Destroying Dragon still coiled behind him, emanating the oppressive might of Ruling the World.

Wei Tianchen stepped onto the beach one step at a time, walking toward the dying Sea Horse Douluo with cold, emotionless eyes.

"Poseidon's Hounds only have this much strength?

How... disappointing."

Watching Wei Tianchen approach like the god of death and sensing his undisguised killing intent, the final line of defense in Sea Horse Douluo's heart completely crumbled.

He did not want to die, especially not so inexplicably for a faith that had already collapsed.

For a god who had deceived them their entire lives!

"Wait... wait! Stop!"

Sea Horse Douluo used every ounce of strength in his body to shout hoarsely.

Wei Tianchen paused and looked down from a height at him, a cruel curve lifting at the corner of his lips.

"What? Want to beg for mercy?"

"No... no!"

Sea Horse Douluo coughed violently as blood continuously poured from his mouth.

"I... I'm no longer a Seven Pillar Guardian of Sea God Island!"

The moment those words came out, not only was Wei Tianchen stunned, but the billions of people watching before the Sky Screen were stunned as well.

What did that mean?

Wei Tianchen frowned slightly. He sensed that something was not right.

Seeing him stop, Sea Horse Douluo seemed to seize his final lifeline and hurriedly revealed everything.

"It's true!

After the Sky Screen exposed Poseidon, all of us... all of our faith collapsed!

High Priestess Bo Saixi dismissed every one of us. Sea God Island... Sea God Island has already disbanded!"

He pointed in the direction of Sea God Island behind him, his voice filled with endless sorrow and relief.

"I only came back this time to take one last look at my homeland. Then I planned to leave completely and find somewhere to retire in seclusion...

I'm not your enemy!

We no longer have anything to do with the Sea God!"

To stay alive, Sea Horse Douluo practically roared those words.

Wei Tianchen stood where he was, his eyes flickering.

He had come with the resolve to destroy Sea God Island and settle old debts.

But now, the other side was telling him that this target had already collapsed from within before he even arrived?

It felt like a punch thrown with all his strength had landed on cotton.

At that moment, Golden Light flashed across the Sky Screen, and a line of small text appeared, providing the most authoritative confirmation of Sea Horse Douluo's words.

[Fact Check: Sea Horse Douluo's words are true.

Due to the scandal of Sea God Poseidon, the faith system of Sea God Island collapsed several days ago. Bo Saixi has dismissed the Seven Pillar Guardians, and the inheritance of Sea God Island now exists in name only.]
