Breach Sea God Island, Blanket It with Fire (Continued)

At the same time, a vast pressure originating from a divine-level Martial Soul swept across the entire sea area like an invisible tide. The Spirit Hall Soul Master on the fleet immediately felt their Soul Power flow sluggish, as if their Martial Soul were shackled, and their strength was generally suppressed by nearly 30%!

Faced with the Sea God's Wrath, which seemed like a catastrophe, Tian Yue remained calm and composed. Standing at the bow of the flagship, her voice clearly resounded throughout the fleet. "Activate levitation mode, full activation of the Angel's Protection Domain!"

The moment the order was given, the seemingly decorative pale blue patterns around the massive metal ship, which had been bobbing in the wind and waves, suddenly lit up, emitting strong Soul Power fluctuations! The huge sails quickly retracted, and hidden propulsion Soul Tool unfolded on the sides and bottom of the hull.

Before the incredulous eyes of countless residents of Sea God Island, those enormous warships, like giant birds breaking free from the earth's shackles, roared into the sky!

Not only did they perfectly avoid the devastating waves below, but they also flexibly adjusted their formation to dodge several incredibly condensed divine power blades unleashed by the trident of the true form of the Sea God!

At the same time, the exquisite Six-Winged Angel statues on the prows of each warship emitted a soft, pale golden light, which intertwined to form a huge halo that enveloped the entire fleet. Within this Angel's Protection Domain, the pressure from the Sea God Martial Soul was greatly reduced, and all the Spirit Hall Soul Master immediately felt a sense of lightness, their Soul Power recovering smoothly!

Looking down at the Sea God Island protected by the barrier, Tian Yue continued to issue orders, "Proceed according to the original plan!"

"Yes!" Behind her, Zhu Zhuqing, dressed in a tight-fitting combat suit, responded crisply. In a flash, she disappeared from the deck like a ghost in the night.

Bo Saixi looked up at the Spirit Hall Empire fleet, which was hovering high in the sky and had completely escaped the disadvantages of the marine environment. A complex emotion and a sigh flashed in his eyes.

"The Qian Daoliu of yesteryear wouldn't have resorted to these tricks..." she muttered to herself.

In that era, the duels between top experts were more of a clash of pure strength and domain.

Today, the Spirit Hall Empire is demonstrating a completely new mode of warfare that integrates Soul Tool Technology with tactical coordination.

With the fleet taking to the air, Sea God Island's defensive advantage, which relied on the marine environment, has been greatly diminished.

We can no longer allow the enemy to attack the barrier with impunity in the air.

Bo Saixi's eyes narrowed, and she made a decision. She turned to the Sea Dragon Douluo and the others who were on high alert and said in a deep voice, "Guard the Sacred Pillar and maintain the barrier!"

Before she finished speaking, she took a step forward, as if supported by invisible water steps, and her figure soared into the sky! Vast blue Soul Power surged around her like an ocean, and the terrifying aura of a level 99 Peak Douluo was released without reservation, directly approaching the Martial Soul Fleet in the sky!

The bright red Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring was particularly eye-catching around her.

················································

Tian Yue watched as Bo Saixi, controlling the massive true form of the Sea God and charging forward once again with the Sea God's Power, a mocking smile, as if she had expected it, appeared on her lips.

"His Holiness the Pope was right all along," her voice was filled with undisguised contempt, "You are nothing but a bunch of pathetic wretches abandoned by the times. Even though you possess top-tier Soul Tool left over from ancient times, you only know how to use them, not why they work. You have a treasure trove but don't know how to study and utilize it. You only follow old precedents and remain stagnant!"

Despite her extremely contemptuous words, Tian Yue's eyes were incredibly solemn. She knew all too well that when facing a level 99 Peak Douluo unleashing his full power, any carelessness could be fatal.

Just as Bo Saixi was closing in, a Soul Master named Li Yang in the fleet, despite being terrified and his heart pounding like a drum, was driven by his survival instinct and obedience to orders to summon his Martial Soul — Reflecting Mirror top speed!

In an instant, smooth mirrors appeared precisely at their designated locations on the fleet, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

The members of the Spirit Hall Empire, who had practiced countless times before, moved with lightning speed, throwing themselves into the nearest mirror and disappearing instantly.

Even Tian Yue herself, after saying those words, calmly took a step back. Behind her, Reflecting Mirror that had been prepared beforehand appeared at just the right moment, and her figure disappeared into it, like a drop of water merging into the sea, vanishing without a trace.

Bo Saixi's true form of the Sea God had already unleashed its attack, the massive trident carrying destructive light, slamming fiercely into the now-empty flagship!

However, just before the attack touched the ship's hull, Bo Saixi's powerful intuition issued a frantic warning! It was a keen sense of danger stemming from Peak Douluo!

Something's not right!

Her pupils contracted sharply, and she forcefully reversed her divine power, attempting to retreat.

But at such close range, with such a full-force attack, how could one simply retract the attack?

At this very moment--

"Buzz!!!!!"

An indescribable, extremely blinding white light suddenly burst forth from inside the ship!

The light was so intense that it instantly swallowed up all sound and sight. Bo Saixi felt as if the world had fallen into absolute silence and pure white at that moment!

Immediately afterwards--

"Boom!!!!!!!!!"

A terrifying energy storm, far surpassing any previous Soul Cannon explosion, erupted from the flagship!

The astonishing number of high-explosive soul-guided explosives and concentrated Soul Power cores meticulously arranged within the ship's hull were simultaneously detonated, generating enough destructive force to tear the sky apart!

Bo Saixi, being the closest, would be the first to be hit!

It was as if she had been struck head-on by an invisible star. The protective Sea God's Light shattered instantly, and the enormous illusory form of the Sea God twisted violently before collapsing! She herself was like a kite with a broken string, directly blown away by the destructive shockwave, and she was already spitting out blood uncontrollably in mid-air!

Thick smoke and flames billowed and engulfed the airspace.

A figure, enveloped in tattered blue light, plummeted straight down from the sky like a meteorite, crashing heavily into the sea below.

Meanwhile, on the deck of another intact warship in the distance, Tian Yue and the others quietly appeared in the mirror. She calmly observed the still burning and exploding flagship wreckage, and the direction in which Bo Saixi had crashed.

At the same time, she glanced with slight regret at Li Yang, who had collapsed to the ground, pale-faced and exhausted from the depletion of his Soul Power.

"What a pity," she thought to herself. "The empire invested so many resources and elixirs to cultivate him, but ultimately his talent was limited. He barely managed to reach the Soul Emperor level, and then a single large-scale group mirror migration completely exhausted his Soul Power. This kind of strategic-level Martial Soul..."

She shook her head, dismissing the regret.

Regardless, the plan succeeded. Having severely damaged, or even killed, the enemy's strongest member, she turned her gaze back to the chaotic sea and issued the order for the next attack.

···············································

Meanwhile, on Sea God Island below, countless Sea Soul Master are eagerly awaiting their arrival.

Their faces were filled with piety and anticipation, firmly believing that their revered High Priest Bo Saixi would, with the might of the Sea God, wipe out the invaders who dared to desecrate the sacred land.

However, the sudden turn of events caused the expressions on their faces to freeze instantly.

The enemy's largest flagship, which served as the command center, suddenly exploded with tremendous force without warning!

Thick smoke and raging flames, like a ferocious beast, instantly engulfed the sky above the ship, and countless metal fragments and burning wreckage fell from the sky like raindrops.

This sudden turn of events plunged all the Sea Soul Master into a deathly silence. Their minds went blank, unable to comprehend what was happening before their eyes.

Shouldn't the High Priest have achieved a crushing victory?

Why...

Why did the enemy's flagship explode? The explosion was...

An ominous premonition, accompanied by the panic that the foundations of their faith were being shaken, quietly spread among the people.

But they still gazed intently at the sky, a faint hope lingering in their eyes, perhaps...

Was the explosion caused by the High Priestess's divine power? Did she annihilate the enemy's command center in one fell swoop?

The High Priestess will be alright! She is the Sea God's representative on Earth!

However, reality dealt them the heaviest blow.

A figure they knew all too well, yet now appeared incredibly fragile, fell helplessly from the billowing smoke like a seabird with broken wings.

"High Priest--!"

The closest Sea Horse Douluo, his eyes wide with fury, burst into the sky at top speed and narrowly caught the falling figure in his arms.

He looked down and saw that Bo Saixi in his arms was deathly pale, her breath was extremely weak, her magnificent priest's robe was torn in many places, and there were still traces of bright red blood at the corners of her mouth. She had obviously suffered a very serious injury.

"Quick! Soul Master! Come here quickly!" Sea Horse Douluo's voice was filled with unprecedented panic and anxiety as he immediately roared down.

Several support-type Sea Soul Master rushed forward in a panic, enveloping Bo Saixi in the purest healing aura.

Meanwhile, the other Sacred Pillar Guardian were shocked and incredulous upon seeing Bo Saixi's severely injured state, their minds in turmoil.

In their deeply ingrained belief, the High Priest Bo Saixi was the incarnation of the Sea God on earth, a near-invincible being.

They never imagined that one day they would see her defeated so completely, so miserably.

Logically speaking, only the future successor to the Sea God should be able to defeat her!

·········································

High in the sky, the Soul Engineer team of the Spirit Hall Empire was extremely efficient.

The uniquely shaped Soul Power detectors in their hands flickered with a faint light, precisely analyzing the trajectory and intensity distribution of the energy flow in the barrier below.

Soon, the coordinates of several points with relatively disordered energy and suspected structural weaknesses were quickly identified.

"Target marked. All Soul Cannon units, fire three salvos, saturation attack!" The cold command echoed throughout the fleet via the soul-guided communicator.

The stored energy shone brightly again at the muzzle, even more dazzling and concentrated than before!

"Boom! Boom! Boom--!"

The first salvo caused the barrier to shake violently, and the marked weak points flickered with light.

"Boom! Boom! Boom--!!"

The second salvo was followed by a faint, ear-piercing cracking sound, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the surface of the barrier.

"Boom! Boom! Boom--!!!"

The third salvo, like the last straw that broke the camel's back, caused the massive barrier covering the entire island to let out a mournful cry of despair and shatter into countless scattered energy points.

The aftershocks of the explosion even directly impacted the seven Sacred Pillar that served as energy nodes, causing some of them to show obvious damage and cracks on their surfaces, and their light dimmed.

A Soul Engineer looked at the damaged Sacred Pillar, a hint of regret on his face. "What a pity. These pillars have a unique structure and were excellent research samples, but now they've been destroyed."

Although the barrier was broken, Sea God Island reacted extremely quickly.

Before the barrier crumbled, a large number of Sea Soul Master, led by several Sacred Pillar and aided by the Demon Soul Great White Shark, orderly crossed the Circular Sea and arrived at the sacred place in the hearts of the Sea Soul Master on the other side— Sea God Mountain.

Tian Yue stood at the bow of the ship, her brows slightly furrowed.

She possessed detailed information about Sea God Island gathered by the Spirit Hall, and naturally understood the troublesome aspects of this Circular Sea —the prohibition of flight and the forbidding use of any Soul Skill.

This means that her army cannot fly across the sea, and can only swim across this sea inhabited by Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, without being able to use Soul Skill.

Tian Yue was extremely calm, and she quickly assessed the situation before her.

Her gaze swept over the Circular Sea of sea surrounding Sea God Mountain; in her estimation, its width was no more than a few hundred meters.

This distance is undoubtedly a death chasm for ordinary Soul Master, especially when they cannot use Soul Skill and have to face attacks from Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

However, for the Spirit Hall Empire, which has already begun to revive its Soul Tool technology, these few hundred meters can be easily traversed in another way.

"Heh," Tian Yue's lips curled into a cold smile, "Since we can't cross the sea, there's no need to go down."

She had no intention of sending her soldiers into the sea to fight the Demon Soul Great White Shark!

"All Soul Cannon units, recalibrate coordinates!" Tian Yue issued the order again, with an unquestionable decisiveness. "Target: the Circular Sea area, covert bombardment! Extend firepower to the opposite beachhead to clear obstacles for the landing forces!"

"Unlimited ammunition! Boil this sea!"
