Hundred Thousand Year Southern Departure Vermilion Bird Right Arm Bone! Sea Dragon? Sea Worm is More Like It! True Body Crumbles, Sea Dragon Douluo Faints

Xu Zhao shook his head, his tone filled with disappointment and mockery:

"Seeing how aggressive you were, taking the initiative to attack my Heir Prince fleet, I thought you had some great ability or were hiding some earth-shattering trump card.

To my surprise, you're just a flashy display with no substance."

Having said that, Xu Zhao paused, his gaze sweeping over the now-dim dragon phantom behind Sea Dragon Douluo, the corners of his mouth curling into a sneer:

"Martial Soul Sea Dragon?

In my opinion, calling you a Sea Worm would be more accurate!

In the face of this true solar radiance, your so-called 'dragon' isn't even as good as a loach."

"You... what did you say?!"

Sea Dragon Douluo, who had been struggling to stand, trembled with rage upon hearing these deeply insulting words, a mouthful of blood surging up his throat once again.

Who was he?

He was the head of the Seven Sacred Pillars of Sea God Island!

He was the number one person under Bo Saixi!

He was a guardian revered by thousands across this vast ocean!

In his entire life, when had he ever suffered such a humiliating disgrace?

Being heavily injured in one move was one thing, but to be called a "Sea Worm"?!

"You brat... you go too far!!!"

Sea Dragon Douluo's eyes turned blood-red, the corners of his eyes even splitting and bleeding from extreme fury.

A sense of intense humiliation instantly clouded his reason, making him temporarily forget the excruciating pain in his body.

"I want you dead!

I want you to die without a burial ground!!!"

Accompanied by a hysterical roar, Sea Dragon Douluo held nothing back, the remaining soul power in his body beginning to burn frantically.

"Seventh Soul Skill—Sea Dragon True Body!!!"

BOOM—!

A massive pillar of blue light shot into the sky.

Sea Dragon Douluo's body expanded rapidly within the blue radiance.

In the blink of an eye, his human form completely vanished, transforming into a massive Sea Dragon over a hundred meters long!

This was not the previous phantom, but his true Avatar of Martial Soul!

With menacing dragon scales and towering dragon horns, a terrifying aura belonging to a top-tier beast martial soul swept across the entire scene.

But that was not enough!

Transformed into a dragon, Sea Dragon Douluo roared at the sky. That massive dragon cry sounded like a summons, and the sea for dozens of miles around instantly responded.

"O Ocean, heed my command!"

"Ninth Soul Skill—Sea Dragon Demon Fang Break!!!"

This was Sea Dragon Douluo's strongest single-target soul skill, his ultimate trump card!

The previously boiling sea surface instantly exploded, and countless water columns shot into the sky, rapidly condensing and compressing in the air.

Finally, all the seawater and soul power converged into the Sea Dragon's gaping maw, forming an energy orb radiating a deep, dark blue light.

The space around this orb began to collapse as it could not withstand the terrifying energy density, emitting a teeth-grinding, shattering sound.

"Die—for me!!!"

Sea Dragon Douluo roared.

That dark blue orb, containing all his soul power and the strength of the ocean, transformed into a destructive streak of light.

With an indomitable momentum, it blasted toward Xu Zhao in mid-air!

This strike, gathering the fury of the ocean, swore to strike down that high and mighty sun!

Watching the dark blue orb that seemed capable of swallowing the world, Zi Zhenzhu felt as if her heart had been gripped tightly.

That was the full-power Ninth Soul Skill of a Title Douluo!

On the ocean, the power of this strike was enough to destroy an entire island!

"Your Highness!"

Zi Zhenzhu couldn't help but cry out, her nails digging deep into the railing, her face pale as paper, her eyes filled with despair and worry.

However, Xu Zhao, at the center of the storm, maintained a calm and indifferent expression.

Facing a destructive strike that would drive an ordinary Title Douluo to despair, Xu Zhao did not dodge; instead, he nodded slightly.

The mocking smile at the corner of his mouth deepened.

"That's more like it."

Xu Zhao's voice was not loud, yet it clearly pierced through the roaring waves and reached the ears of Sea Dragon Douluo.

"If you had shown this level of skill earlier, I might have held you in higher regard.

Since you are putting in such effort, I suppose I should get... a little serious as well."

Before his voice had even faded, Xu Zhao slowly raised his right arm.

In an instant, an ancient and desolate aura awakened from within his right arm.

Within the original golden radiance of the sun, a streak of extreme crimson suddenly emerged.

Through his sleeve, one could clearly see that Xu Zhao's entire right arm was emitting a crystalline red glow, as if molten lava were flowing beneath his skin.

Even the surrounding space was slightly distorted by the scorching heat of this power.

This was the source of the ninth spirit ring for Xu Zhao's Sun Martial Soul, provided by a 100,000-year Southern Vermilion Bird:

The 100,000-year Southern Vermilion Bird Right Arm Bone!

The Vermilion Bird was an ancient divine beast that commanded the Southern Bright Separation Fire, the supreme ruler among all flames.

Although the bloodline of the Southern Vermilion Bird that Xu Zhao had slain was not one hundred percent pure, it was still incredibly formidable.

With 100,000 years of cultivation, it was strong enough to rival an ordinary Beast with 300,000 years of cultivation.

This Spirit Bone was a match made in heaven for Xu Zhao's Sun Martial Soul.

Both belonged to the category of Ultimate Fire, and they complemented each other perfectly.

It not only granted him a terrifying boost to his physical attributes but also brought with it two 100,000-year spirit skills that could be called divine techniques.

"SCREE--!!!"

A clear, impassioned phoenix cry suddenly resounded through the heavens, actually overpowering the roar of the sea dragon.

The red light on Xu Zhao's right arm surged instantly.

Behind Xu Zhao, within the phantom of the golden sun, a massive Vermilion Bird divine bird appeared, reborn in fire. Its wings spread wide, blotting out the sky!

"100,000-year Vermilion Bird Right Arm Bone first spirit skill--Vermilion Bird Heaven-Burning Strike!"

As Xu Zhao softly uttered these words, he swung down his right arm, which was wrapped in crystalline red light.

This swing seemed to command the very momentum of heaven and earth.

The massive Vermilion Bird phantom circling behind him let out a cry that could pierce metal and crack stone, then beat its wings and transformed into a streak of red light.

Carrying the world-destroying Southern Bright Separation Fire, it headed straight for the whistling blue-black ball of light.

Red and blue, fire and water.

Two diametrically opposed, ultimate powers collided violently in mid-air!

However, the earth-shattering explosion that everyone expected did not occur.

In the horrified gaze of all onlookers.

The "Sea Dragon Demon Fang Break," which had condensed all of Sea Dragon Douluo's spirit power and possessed the strength to shatter an island, touched the Vermilion Bird phantom.

It was as if ice had met boiling lava.

"HISSS--!!!"

A teeth-grinding sound of dissolution echoed across the sky.

The deep, terrifying blue-black seawater energy could not even last a single second under the burning of the Southern Bright Separation Fire.

It withered, vaporized, and dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The Southern Bright Separation Fire burned everything, specialized in breaking through evil spirits and cold yin energy!

Sea Dragon Douluo's prideful power of the sea was as fragile as a bubble in the face of this legendary divine beast fire.

"No!

This is impossible!

My ninth spirit skill..."

Sea Dragon Douluo, who had transformed into a giant sea dragon, watched helplessly as his strongest attack was pierced through by the Vermilion Bird phantom with unstoppable force.

Deep fear finally surfaced in his massive dragon eyes.

But the Vermilion Bird phantom, having devoured the ball of light, did not lose a shred of its momentum.

Trailing long, fiery tail feathers, it slammed fiercely into the sea dragon's massive body!

"BOOM--!!!"

This time, it was a true explosion.

Rain of fire splashed across the sky like brilliant fireworks.

"ROAR--!!!"

A shrill dragon cry resounded through the heavens, filled with pain and despair.

Sea Dragon Douluo's incredibly hard dragon scales shattered inch by inch under the impact of the Vermilion Bird, and charred flesh splattered everywhere.

That massive Sea Dragon True Body was actually smashed straight out of the air by this single strike, hammered violently into the depths of the ocean!

The immense impact kicked up waves hundreds of meters high; had the Great Sun Prince Mansion's warship not been reinforced by formations, it would have surely been capsized by the shockwaves.

A moment later, the swells on the sea surface gradually calmed.

The hundred-meter-long Sea Dragon, which had been so imposing just moments ago, had vanished, replaced by a charred figure floating on the water, dead or alive unknown.

Sea Dragon Douluo's Avatar of Martial Soul had actually been forcibly shattered by this single strike from Xu Zhao!

Xu Zhao slowly retracted his right arm, the red light fading from his limb as the Vermilion Bird phantom behind him dissipated along with it.

Xu Zhao looked down from his vantage point at the figure floating on the sea like a dead dog.

He lightly brushed some non-existent dust from his sleeve, the mocking smile on his lips not fading in the slightest:

"Is this the strength of the head of the Seven Sacred Pillars of Sea God Island?"

Xu Zhao shook his head, his tone indifferent, yet every word was a stinging rebuke:

"You can't even withstand a single Spirit Bone skill of mine; it seems this so-called 'Sea God' is nothing more than an empty name."

Having said that, Xu Zhao turned his head to look at Zi Zhenzhu, who was already dumbstruck on the deck, and said calmly:

"Go, fish him out.

Just keep him alive; this Heir Prince still has questions for this 'Sea Worm'."
