The Tale of the Battle of the Two Stones, One Finger Defeats Bo Saixi!

The next second, Su Chen's voice drifted through the main hall:

"I wonder if the Great Priest of Sea God Island, Senior Bo Saixi, has any interest in trading the item in your possession for this Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone and this man?"

Bo Saixi!

The Great Priest of Sea God Island!

When these words were lightly uttered by Su Chen, the entire main hall of Listening Rain Pavilion fell into an instant silence.

The commoners and low-level Spirit Masters present might not have heard that name before.

But the leaders of the great factions standing in the front rows looked as if they had seen a ghost, their expressions changing drastically!

In the corner, the Martial Soul Hall Elder Yue Guan, who had been arrogantly bidding just moments ago, felt his legs go weak, nearly collapsing back into his chair.

"Bo Saixi? That level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo?"

Yue Guan covered his mouth, unable to believe what he was hearing.

Back in the day, the Great Priest of Martial Soul Hall, Qian Daoliu, had personally admitted that upon the ocean, Bo Saixi was synonymous with invincibility!

Had this old monster, who existed only in legends, actually come to Listening Rain Pavilion to listen to stories?

On the other side, Yu Yuanzhen and Ning Fengzhi were also filled with horror, subconsciously following Su Chen's gaze.

Deep within the crowd, the woman wearing a bamboo hat and a sea-blue robe stiffened the moment Su Chen called out her name.

She never expected that she, a dignified level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo who had perfectly concealed her aura using the power of the Sea God, would be seen through at a single glance by the young man on the high platform!

Swish!

Inside the hall, thousands of gazes instantly converged upon her.

The surrounding crowd scrambled backward like they were fleeing a plague, clearing a wide, spacious area around her.

Seeing that her identity was exposed, Bo Saixi no longer bothered to hide.

She slowly raised a hand, fair as jade, and gently removed the bamboo hat from her head.

A waterfall of sea-blue hair cascaded down instantly.

As the hat was removed, a vast, boundless pressure belonging to a level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo swept through the hall without reservation!

Facing this pressure, Yu Xiaogang, Zhao Wuji, and the others, who had been shouting just moments before, were instantly pinned to the ground, unable to even lift their heads.

Even powerhouses like Yu Yuanzhen and Ning Fengzhi felt their chests tighten, forced to circulate their spirit power to resist.

Bo Saixi, now holding a Golden Scepter that had appeared from nowhere, walked step by step toward the front of the high platform as if walking on flat ground.

"You have sharp eyes, sir."

"This Tang Hao is the son of an old acquaintance; I am bound to save him."

"However, I am curious about what you meant when you said you wanted to trade for an item in my possession."

"On this Douluo Continent, what could possibly catch the eye of an expert who doesn't even hold Title Douluo in high regard?"

Hearing Bo Saixi's question, everyone in the hall pricked up their ears.

Indeed.

If he could casually auction off a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, what exactly did Su Chen want?

On the high platform, Su Chen watched the fully unleashed Bo Saixi below. Far from being intimidated, he casually tapped his palm with his Folding Fan.

"It's nothing particularly rare, actually."

As he spoke, Su Chen curled his lips into a faint smile and said:

"I mentioned earlier that I need a prop to warm up the crowd for tomorrow's storytelling."

"I think that broken fish fork you keep enshrined in your Sea God Hall would be just the right length."

"How about you bring it to me to use as a fire poker, and I'll grant you this Tang Hao. How does that sound?"

The moment Su Chen finished his sentence, the entire hall of Listening Rain Pavilion fell into a deathly silence.

A broken fish fork enshrined in the Sea God Hall?

That was the Sea God Trident!

It was the super-divine artifact of the Sea God!

It was the supreme faith of the entire Sea God Island, and indeed, every ocean-faring Spirit Master!

Had this Su Chen gone mad?

He was actually asking the Great Priest of Sea God Island to bring the Sea God's Trident to use as a fire poker???

"Audacious!!!"

Hearing this, the previously calm Bo Saixi instantly flew into a rage.

She slammed the Golden Scepter in her hand against the floor, and a visible ripple of blue energy exploded outward with violent force.

"How dare you blaspheme Lord Sea God! You are courting death!"

Bo Saixi's eyes surged with murderous intent as her vast, ninety-nine-level soul power instantly manifested into a colossal blue Sea God Phantom, pressing down upon Su Chen atop the high platform!

Yet, facing this strike capable of destroying heaven and earth, Su Chen merely shook his head slightly.

"Always 'Lord Sea God' this, 'Lord Sea God' that."

"It is truly pathetic to be kept as a sacrificial offering without even realizing it."

Having said this, Su Chen slowly raised his hand. Without needing any technique, he simply flicked his finger.

In an instant, the Sea God Phantom condensed by Bo Saixi was shattered on the spot!

As the Sea God Phantom was effortlessly flicked into nothingness by Su Chen, a terrifying backlash of energy surged through the void and slammed viciously into Bo Saixi's chest.

This peerless Douluo, who had reigned invincible on Sea God Island for nearly a century, was sent stumbling back uncontrollably like a kite with a broken string.

She did not stop until her back slammed heavily against a mahogany pillar.

A shocking streak of crimson blood slowly spilled from the corner of her beautiful lips.

"You..."

Bo Saixi clutched her chest, her deep blue eyes now filled with terror.

She stared fixedly at the young man in white on the high platform.

He had not used his martial soul, had not cast a soul skill, and there hadn't even been the slightest fluctuation of soul power!

With just a flick of his finger, he had not only crushed the furious strike of a ninety-nine-level peerless Douluo but had also forcibly erased the phantom representing the will of the Sea God!

Such overwhelming combat power nearly shattered the faith Bo Saixi had upheld for a hundred years.

"Considering this is your first offense, Su will only give you a lesson today."

Su Chen withdrew his hand and looked down at the pale-faced Bo Saixi.

"Find a seat and sit down."

"If you dare disturb the rules of my Listening Rain Pavilion again, never mind you—even if you called down that god-pretending Sea God you serve, Su would still crush him with a single finger."

Hearing these words of extreme arrogance, not a single person in the hall dared to voice a rebuttal.

Even a ninety-nine-level peerless Douluo had been flicked into vomiting blood; who would dare to provoke Su Chen at a time like this?

Bo Saixi bit her red lips hard, and although her heart was filled with immense unwillingness, she was helpless.

In the end, Bo Saixi could only put away her Golden Scepter and silently retreat to a corner of the crowd.

Seeing Bo Saixi suppressed, the hall once again fell into a state of panic.

Just then, in a private room on the second floor, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, who had been quietly observing the situation, seized this moment with extreme cleverness.

"Mr. Su's divine might is truly admirable, Qinghe is impressed!"

Xue Qinghe walked to the railing and bowed slightly to Su Chen on the high platform, his posture extremely humble.

"This Tang Hao is a major criminal of the empire and has committed unforgivable crimes against the Tiandou Empire."

"Qinghe is willing to offer eighty million Gold Soul Coins, plus any three treasures of choice from the Tiandou Royal Treasury, to purchase this Tang Hao."

"I hope Mr. Su can grant this convenience."

Xue Qinghe's words not only gave Su Chen plenty of face but also raised the price to a level that would make even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Star Luo Empire wince.

Su Chen, on the high platform, raised his head and looked at Xue Qinghe on the second floor with a faint, inscrutable smile.

"Since the Tiandou Crown Prince has spoken, Su will grant you this favor."

Su Chen snapped his folding fan shut, making the final decision.

"Deal."

"Someone, send this piece of scrap metal to His Highness the Crown Prince."

As soon as these words were spoken, Tang San, who was being pinned firmly to the ground, looked up with an expression of utter unwillingness.

"No, Xue Qinghe!"

"How dare you!!!"

He knew the relationship between Martial Soul Hall and the Tiandou Imperial Family all too well; once his father fell into the hands of the Tiandou Imperial Family, even if he didn't die, he would definitely be stripped of his soul bones and his profound arts!

But no matter how Tang San cried and struggled, two Tiandou Royal guards rushed up without mercy and dragged the unconscious Tang Hao away like a dead dog.

"Throw him out too; don't dirty the floor of my Listening Rain Pavilion." Su Chen glanced at Tang San, who was rolling on the ground, and spoke indifferently.

Soon, Tang San, along with Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and the others, were roughly driven out by the servants of the Listening Rain Pavilion.

As the hall returned to silence, Su Chen walked back to the table for storytelling.

Clack!

The gavel struck again with a crisp, sharp sound.

Everyone felt a jolt to their spirits, hurriedly suppressing the shock from moments ago into the depths of their hearts as they pricked up their ears toward the high platform.

"The farce has ended; let us return to the main topic."

Su Chen lifted his teacup to moisten his throat, his voice instantly turning distant and profound.

"Yesterday, we spoke of how the Little One had his Supreme Bone gouged out, left hanging by a thread."

"And what of Shi Yi, the one who seized that Supreme Bone?"

As Su Chen narrated, a grand scene began to vaguely manifest in the air above.

Within the image, a youth with a cold gaze—his Double Pupil seemingly swirling with the sun, moon, and stars—stood at the pinnacle of the Great Wilderness.

"Having fused with the Supreme Bone, Shi Yi could be said to have gathered the vast fortune of heaven and earth unto himself!"

Su Chen's voice rose a notch.

"His left eye holds life, his right eye holds destruction; with a mere blink of his Double Pupil, he can see through all falsehoods and laws!"

"Coupled with the Supreme Bone that originally belonged to the Little One, this layering of dual peerless talents propelled him to become the most dazzling prodigy in the entire Stone Kingdom, and indeed, the entire Eight Regions of the Lower Realm!"

"He entered the Heaven Mending Pavilion, descending like an ancient deity, sweeping away all enemies!"

"Among his peers, no one could withstand a single blow from him!"

Watching the invincible youth in the sky who could tear through the void and suppress Primordial Remnants with a mere gesture, the people of Douluo Continent inside the Listening Rain Pavilion felt their scalps go numb.

"Mr. Su..."

In the front row of the hall, Yu Yuanzhen could not help but ask, using that form of address.

"With these dual peerless talents, this Shi Yi is even more terrifying than those with twin god-level martial souls."

"Since the Little One lost his original Supreme Bone, he is effectively a cripple. How could he possibly catch up to a monster possessing such heaven-defying fortune?"

"Could it be by relying on that mere hundred thousand catties of brute strength?"

Hearing Yu Yuanzhen's question, the others nodded in succession.

In the understanding of the Douluo Continent, once a martial soul is crippled, one is a waste for life; it is impossible to turn the tables, let alone challenge a prodigy with dual god-level talents.

However, Su Chen on the high platform let out a soft chuckle.

"A hundred thousand catties of brute strength?"

"Sect Master Yu, your horizons are, after all, too limited."

"I have said it before: what is truly invincible has never been a physique or a Divine Bone, but the person themselves!"

"After losing his Supreme Bone, the Little One did not abandon himself to despair."

"He was sent to the ancestral lands, undergoing nirvana on the edge of life and death!"

The scene shifted, revealing the desolate Stone Village, where a scorched, blackened Willow Tree radiated a faint green glow.

Yet, the child who should have perished had relied solely on his own unyielding will, tempered by drop after drop of true blood, to regain his vitality!

"He used the Great Wilderness as his whetstone, battling against Primordial beasts!"

"Without the Supreme Bone, he tempered his physical body to the absolute limit!"

"The extreme limit of one hundred and eight thousand catties was merely his starting point!"

"He stepped into the Void God Realm, shattering one ancient record after another, trampling those so-called geniuses of great clans beneath his feet!"

Following Su Chen's voice, which resonated like a war drum, the emotions of everyone in the hall were thoroughly ignited.

Watching the youth who crawled out of pools of blood, carving a path through the Great Wilderness and striking terror into the hearts of the high-and-mighty Primordial Remnants, an indescribable shock rose from the depths of their hearts.

"This... this is simply inconceivable." Ning Fengzhi muttered to himself, his eyes filled with wonder.

"Finally."

Suddenly, Su Chen's voice dropped sharply.

"After experiencing countless life-and-death battles, these brothers of fate, upon the Sky Battlefield of the Void God Realm..."

"Welcomed their final reckoning!"

Rumble!

In the image, the void shattered.

Two youths, both equally stunning throughout the ages, gazed at each other across the endless void.

One was Shi Yi, born with the Double Pupil and fused with the Supreme Bone, descending like a god.

The other was Shi Hao, the Young Demon King who had lost everything yet carved out an invincible path through sheer force of will!

"The Battle of the Two Stones, fully erupted!"

Su Chen swung his folding fan sharply.

In the image, the two instantly clashed.

For a time, all manner of ancient precious techniques and lost divine abilities bombarded each other without reservation across this Sky Battlefield.

The world-destroying power left every Spirit Master in the hall cold to the bone.

"Even after losing his Supreme Bone, Little One still relied on his peak physical prowess and precious techniques to fight Shi Yi to a standstill!"

"But in the end, Shi Yi had fused with that Divine Bone."

Su Chen's speaking speed accelerated, pushing the rhythm to its absolute limit.

"Just as the two fought in a frenzy."

"A flicker of ferocity finally flashed within Shi Yi's Double Pupil."

"From his chest, the Supreme Bone that originally belonged to Little One suddenly erupted with a supreme divine radiance that eclipsed the sun and moon!"

In the projection, Shi Yi seemed to transform into the heavens themselves.

A destructive aura that made everyone's soul tremble began to permeate from that Supreme Bone.

"Heavenly Tribulation Light!"

Su Chen shouted.

"This is the supreme technique born with the Supreme Bone; with a single strike, all things fall into silence!"

"Shi Yi intends to use this bone, which once belonged to Little One, to completely erase him from this battlefield!"

Seeing this lethal strike, everyone in the hall clenched their fists tightly, their hearts rising to their throats.

Bo Saixi stared fixedly at the screen, forgetting even to breathe.

Facing such a fatal tribulation light, how could Little One, who lacked even his origin, possibly block it?
