Hydro Dragon King, Skywater Judgment!

[Relic Jade Dragon Ability Display]

[1: Water Spirit Blessing. The wearer is surrounded by a domain of water, granting immunity to all water-based erosion, significantly weakening fire and lightning attribute damage, and raising water affinity to the absolute limit.]

[2: Azure Wave Circulation. The Jade Dragon contains the endless essence of life-water, which continuously nourishes the wearer's physique; as long as a single breath remains, one can be reborn through water.]

[3: Tidal Control. Command the rivers, lakes, and seas, and stir the tides of heaven and earth; none but god-level powerhouses can defy it.]

[4: Eye of the Water God. Perceive the flow of all water elements in the world and see through all illusions and disguises.]

The appearance of these lines of text left the soul masters across the continent dumbfounded.

In particular, "immunity to all water-based erosion" and "reborn through water" were nothing short of divine life-saving skills.

However, what truly left everyone breathless was the blood-red text that slowly emerged in the final line.

[5: Forbidden - Descent of Skywater!]

The scene shifted abruptly.

The originally brilliant golden background of the ranking list instantly transformed into a deep, boundless shade of dark blue.

It was the color of the deep sea, and also the color of the firmament.

"Rumble--"

There was no thunder, yet everyone heard the roaring surge of the ocean in their ears.

In the image, a slender and upright figure hovered in the void.

Although his face could not be seen clearly, the iconic silver hair and the robes fluttering behind him all signaled his identity—Neuvillette.

He merely raised his hand slightly.

In an instant, the water elements within a thousand miles gathered frantically.

The void shattered.

A blue dragon head, unimaginably massive, slowly emerged from the clouds.

It was not a physical dragon, but a phantom condensed from pure, high-pressure water elements.

Yet, this phantom was far too realistic.

Every dragon scale was clearly visible, shimmering with a chilling, watery light.

Within those massive dragon eyes, there was no emotion, only an equal indifference and judgment toward all things in the world.

As Neuvillette swung his palm downward.

The dragon roared, opening its abyssal maw.

A blue beam of light, capable of piercing heaven and earth, descended with the momentum to destroy everything!

Wherever it passed, space collapsed and all things were annihilated.

There was no fiery explosion, no sky-filling dust.

There was only the purest form of scouring and purification.

The mountains struck by the beam vanished in an instant, leaving behind only a bottomless, giant lake; the water was crystal clear, yet terrifyingly deathly silent.

This was—Skywater Judgment!

The image froze, then slowly dissipated.

But the entire Douluo Continent fell into a silence even longer than before.

Whether they were commoners working in the fields or high-and-mighty Titled Douluo, everyone remained with their heads tilted back, their throats dry, unable to utter a single word.

Too strong.

This kind of power had long since exceeded the cognitive scope of soul masters.

There wasn't even a so-called soul skill aura; with just a wave of his hand, he had invoked the might of heaven and earth.

"Is... is this a Soul Beast?"

"Neuvillette, could he be a hundred-thousand-year... no, a million-year Soul Beast?"

"That dragon, what kind of dragon is it exactly?"

Countless questions arose in the hearts of the masses.

Deep within the Star Dou Forest.

Beside the Lake of Life.

Gu Yuena, dressed in a silver gown, wore an expression of pure astonishment on her beautiful face.

Her purple eyes were fixed intently on the sky that had returned to calm, her chest heaving violently.

"That is... the aura of the Hydro Dragon King?"

"No, the Hydro Dragon King fell long ago, and even his dragon soul was incomplete."

"This power is purer, more ancient, and even... more noble than the Hydro Dragon King at his peak."

Gu Yuena, as the Silver Dragon King, inherited the Dragon God's mastery over the elements.

Yet even so, upon witnessing that "Skywater Judgment" just now, a deep-seated urge to submit surged within her heart.

This made her feel absurd, and even more so, shocked.

"Neuvillette..."

Gu Yuena chewed on the name repeatedly.

"Regardless of who you are, since you possess such pure dragon power, you are a member of my dragon race."

A flash of brilliance crossed her eyes.

She had previously felt some apprehension regarding Tang San inheriting the Asura God position.

After all, the power of the Asura God held a natural restraint over the dragon race.

But things were different now.

There actually existed such a powerful dragon in this world!

"As long as I can win him over, even if the Asura God himself descends, what is there for my dragon race to fear?"

Gu Yuena made a prompt decision.

Originally, she had only intended to "investigate" Skywater City, but now, she had come to view Neuvillette as an ally that must be secured, or perhaps even... one of her own kind.

Jialing Pass, atop the city wall.

A deathly silence spread.

Just a moment ago, the Shrek Seven Devils were still cheering for Tang San's dual godhood, feeling invincible.

But now, looking at the terrifying lingering power left on the Sky Screen, the smiles on everyone's faces froze.

Tang San hovered in mid-air, the two majestic red and blue divine shadows behind him appearing small and thin in comparison to the massive phantom of the Hydro Dragon King.

Especially that phantom of the Seagod.

In front of that "Supreme Divine Artifact" capable of commanding all the waters of the world, it looked like a fisherman holding a harpoon who had encountered the true monarch of the sea.

Comical.

Ridiculous.

Tang San could even feel the Seagod divine power within his own body trembling slightly; it was a fear stemming from a difference in status.

"Damn it..."

Tang San's heart burned with rage, accompanied by the shame of having been slapped hard in public.

He glanced at the dazed expressions of the people below, knowing he must not let the morale of the army waver.

Therefore.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the surging blood in his body, and his expression shifted from gloomy to indifferent, even carrying a hint of disdain.

"A mere parlor trick."

Tang San slowly landed on the city wall, the Seagod Trident in his hand striking the ground with a heavy thud, emitting a crisp ring that jolted everyone back to their senses.

"Third Brother?"

Ma Hongjun looked at him, stuttering slightly, "Th-that Skywater Judgment thing, it looked really fierce, we..."

"Fierce?"

Tang San sneered, his gaze sweeping across the crowd.

"It is nothing more than a visual effect created by using external objects to condense the essence of heaven and earth."

"In terms of destructive power, I can do the same."

As he spoke, he raised the trident in his hand, divine power surging.

"My Golden Thirteen Halberds, combined with the Asura God's Killing Domain, will only be more powerful than that."

"Neuvillette is merely relying on the advantage of a divine artifact; if we were to fight for real, he might not be my match."

Tang San spoke these words with absolute certainty.

But in reality, only he knew that he was lying.

That pure power of rules was simply not something he could easily contend with at his current level.

Dai Mubai and Oscar exchanged a look.

They were both intelligent men; how could they fail to see the trace of apprehension and embarrassment hidden deep within Tang San's eyes?
