Little Xue, Have You Felt the Power of Immortal Arts?

God Realm!

Within a palace filled with seawater, Poseidon's cold eyes widened in fury.

"A strand of my divine soul has been refined!"

"How is that possible?!"

The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was the Heart of the Sea God, left behind on Douluo Continent when Poseidon became a god.

Whoever gained the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud's recognition would possess the basic qualification to inherit the Sea God's divine position.

Over countless years, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud had changed hands several times, yet it had never recognized anyone.

Today, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud had been activated, only because a strand of the divine soul he had left behind had been refined.

"I have already become a god and cannot casually interfere in the affairs of the lower realm. But this matter concerns the inheritance of my divine position. I must take action."

With a thought, he raised his hand and summoned divine power.

A Divine Oracle swiftly took shape, then vanished from the divine hall with a flick of his finger.

Lower realm, Douluo Continent—Sea God Island.

A breathtakingly beautiful woman held a golden scepter and wore a Bright Red robe.

Her sea-blue hair draped behind her back, falling straight to the ground.

Her clear blue Eyes were even deeper than the color of the sea.

Standing there, she seemed to be the entire ocean itself.

Boom!

Light surged skyward from the Seven Sacred Pillars, and all of Sea God Island trembled at that moment.

Delight appeared on Bo Saixi's face as the Seven Sacred Pillars Douluo arrived at the same time.

Within the golden-blue radiance, a tall figure appeared before them.

"Greetings, Lord Sea God!"

Bo Saixi knelt respectfully, with the Seven Sacred Pillars Douluo following after her.

At that moment, every resident on Sea God Island knelt toward that patch of golden-blue light.

They offered devout obeisance to the Sea God they worshipped, the Sea God who protected them.

"Bo Saixi! A sudden change has occurred to the Heart of the Sea God. The opportunity for the inheritor of the divine position may be cut off because of this. Immediately send people to the continent to investigate!"

Once the Divine Oracle finished speaking, the golden-blue light dispersed, and everything returned to normal.

"Sea Dragon, Sea Spear, Sea Maiden!"

"Here!"

Three of the Seven Sacred Pillars Douluo stepped forward.

"The three of you will depart immediately for the continent. You must find the Heart of the Sea God and bring it back!"

"By your command!"

After receiving their orders, the three immediately headed for Douluo Continent.

What none of them noticed was the trace of desolation that flashed through Bo Saixi's Eyes.

If an inheritor of the divine position appeared, it would mean that her death was near.

Above the ruins of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes in Sunset Forest.

Shen Tianyu sat Cross-legged in the air as the surrounding Spiritual Energy rapidly gathered around him.

Within the Spiritual Energy vortex like a Black hole, the crystalline blue glow grew dimmer and dimmer.

The remnant thought of the Sea God Soul had already been completely broken down, turning into Strands of energy that flowed into Shen Tianyu's body.

Before long, the remnant thought of the Sea God Soul had been completely absorbed through the combined effects of the Great Devouring Technique and the Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art.

The energy within the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud had also been entirely digested, and it lost its original luster.

From its appearance, there was nothing remarkable about it. It looked like nothing more than a child's toy.

"The material is rather unique."

As he turned the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud over in his hand, a wisp of condensed Spiritual Energy accidentally flowed into it.

His eyes narrowed slightly as his perception enveloped the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.

"Hm? The original four soul skills are still there?"

Shen Tianyu was somewhat surprised. He had thought that after absorbing the remnant thought of the Sea God Soul within it, this thing would become useless.

To his surprise, all four soul skills—the Vast Sea Protective Shroud, Cosmic Soul-Settling Shroud, Vast Sea Raging Waves, and Cosmic Demon-Breaking—had been preserved and could still be used.

"I'll keep it for now."

Just as he put away the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, a wave of scorching heat rushed toward him from behind.

"Die!"

With a sharp cry, Qian Renxue charged forward with her sword.

Killing intent struck first, carrying scorching heat as though it would melt the very air.

"Stop fooling around!"

Turning around and raising his hand, he effortlessly caught the Sacred Sword.

Qian Renxue's Fifth Soul Skill was indeed exceptionally powerful.

But before Shen Tianyu, the gap between them was simply too vast, making it seem utterly incapable of withstanding a single blow.

When her first strike failed, Qian Renxue immediately lit up her first soul ring.

"First Soul Skill—Angel Assault!"

The Angel Six Wings stretched open. Enveloped in a holy, radiant aura, her speed suddenly surged.

With a flap of her wings, she flashed to Shen Tianyu's side.

Her snow-white fist swung toward Shen Tianyu's neck.

"You little girl, I told you to stop fooling around!"

He casually raised a hand to block it, then seized Qian Renxue in a counterhold.

Spiritual Energy immediately burst forth, forcing Qian Renxue's martial soul back. At once, she lost the strength to continue fighting.

"Kill me, then!"

Her Red Lips bit down on her Pearl Teeth, her Golden Eyes glaring furiously as killing intent poured from her without restraint.

"How could I bear to kill you? My dear Little Xue!"

Shen Tianyu smiled, but Qian Renxue only grew angrier.

Little Xue was a name only those close to her could use.

Hearing it from a frivolous man like Shen Tianyu naturally infuriated her.

"You bastard! You're not allowed to call me Little Xue!"

Qian Renxue stamped her foot in anger, though it only made her look somewhat adorable.

"I'll never forgive you for what you did to me!"

The process of teaching her Immortal Cultivation had been far too profound for her to ever forget.

She raised her other hand, preparing to give the man before her a vicious beating.

Still smiling, Shen Tianyu pulled Qian Renxue into his embrace and walked through the air back to his residence.

"Since I taught you the ways of Immortal Cultivation, I will take responsibility for you!

From now on, across the entire Douluo Continent, whoever dares harm even a hair on your head, I will take his life!"

"Then kill yourself! You're the one who harmed me!"

Shen Tianyu: ...

He had no answer.

"You little girl, I taught you Immortal Cultivation, and you're still unwilling?

Since you're awake, let me check whether you've forgotten the cultivation technique you learned yesterday."

He directly mobilized his Spiritual Energy and unleashed Mandarin Ducks Exploring Water Finger.

Its explosive force remained formidable, tearing open space on the spot.

Just like yesterday, whenever Mandarin Ducks Exploring Water Finger was unleashed, Qian Renxue's entire body trembled as she inwardly cried out in terror.

Feeling the might of that finger strike and the violent force that blasted space apart, she became even more fearful of Immortal Cultivation, though a part of her also yearned for it.

"Well? Is it impressive?"

Qian Renxue avoided Shen Tianyu's gaze. "Not impressive!"

"So stubborn!"

After yesterday's instruction, Shen Tianyu had discovered that Qian Renxue was extremely stubborn.

Immortal Cultivation was clearly far stronger than soul skills, yet Qian Renxue was deeply resistant to it. She firmly believed soul skills were stronger and refused to cooperate with the training.

"Since you can't feel the power of Immortal Arts, then let's do it again, until you acknowledge it!"

Spiritual Energy gathered once more as Mandarin Ducks Exploring Water Finger was unleashed in succession.

Finger-force condensed from Spiritual Energy blasted open space one strike after another.

As space was repeatedly blasted apart, the heat produced by the minor explosions accumulated, rapidly raising the surrounding temperature.

The temperature in the air soared sharply, making the body feel increasingly hot. Qian Renxue was already drenched in fragrant sweat.

Her sweat soaked through the Golden Silk Dress, the thin fabric clinging tightly to her skin.

Qian Renxue's snow-white cheeks were now tinged with a faint blush from the rising heat.

After consecutively unleashing the Mandarin Ducks Exploring Water Finger, Shen Tianyu reined in some of the Spiritual Energy he had been releasing.

"Little Xue, have you felt how powerful Immortal Arts are?"

"No!"

Qian Renxue remained stubborn. "Soul skills are stronger!"

Her martial soul cultivation was truly deeply ingrained.

Even now, Qian Renxue still clung to her own opinion.

"Fine. Since you still refuse to acknowledge that Immortal Cultivation is stronger, I'll have no choice but to use an even more powerful Immortal Arts technique!"
