Sea-Playing God?!

["Besides, if this Divine Skill could only trap gods, it really would be boring."

Di Tian paused, then changed tack, a cold glint flashing through his eyes.

"But unfortunately for you, that's far from all it does!"

As he spoke, he condensed a purple sphere of soul power in his palm that radiated danger. Though only the size of a fist, it contained terrifying energy that made the heart quail.

Under Tang San's terrified gaze, Di Tian tossed the purple sphere of soul power into the purple disc of light before him.

The next moment, the purple sphere appeared out of thin air inside the cage imprisoning Tang San!

It attacked silently from behind Tang San, as fast as lightning!

Tang San immediately twisted aside, narrowly dodging the strike.

But the purple sphere plunged into another disc of light, then emerged from yet another!

Only this time, it was even faster, and its power had actually doubled!

And that still wasn't the end!

Di Tian continued increasing the number of soul power spheres.

Two, four, eight... Purple spheres poured from the discs of light on all sides, streaking wildly through the cage!

The attacks inside the cage grew more numerous! Faster! More powerful!

Even bolstered by the Sea God Manifestation, Tang San could barely fend them off, constantly shifting and dodging within the cage.

Several times, he failed to dodge in time and took direct hits.

Purple soul power exploded against his body, leaving horrifying wounds.

Blood stained the corner of his mouth, his robes were shredded, and even the Sea God Trident in his hand had lost a section, its golden radiance dimming considerably.

But he dared not stop. If he did, the concentrated barrage of attacks that even he could not withstand would surely annihilate him!

Watching Tang San flounder inside the cage, utterly stripped of his initial lofty bearing,

Di Tian felt an inexplicable surge of satisfaction.

This exalted Sea God amounted to no more than this before him now.

The corners of Di Tian's lips lifted slightly as he teased:

"Tang San! As the first opponent to face this move, I grant you the special privilege of naming this Divine Skill for me. What do you say?"

Still dodging inside the cage, Tang San shot Di Tian a furious glare at those words.

At the same time, an invisible psychic shock erupted from Tang San's brow and hurtled straight toward Di Tian!

But just as the psychic shock was about to escape the cage, a purple disc of light appeared precisely in its path.

The next moment, Tang San's psychic shock vanished without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea.

Then it burst from another disc, changed direction, and actually attacked Tang San himself!

Tang San's expression shifted repeatedly, and he could only twist awkwardly aside to evade his own attack.

At this sight, Di Tian's lips curled slightly, his eyes brimming with mockery.

"Since my Lord Sea God refuses to speak, I'll name it myself."

He paused, studying Tang San as he ducked and dodged inside the cage, a gleam flashing through his eyes.

"Look at you, making such a fuss in that cage, leaping up and down."

"You look exactly like those mischievous Wind Baboons I've seen in the Star Dou Great Forest."

"Oh, you might not know what a Wind Baboon is. It's a kind of monkey."

"And you're the Sea God..."

Di Tian deliberately drew out his words, his smile deepening.

"How about... 'Sea-Playing God'?"

Tang San's face turned the color of pig liver at those words.

"Or perhaps..."

Di Tian tilted his head, pretending to consider:

"You'd rather I called this move 'Sea-Playing Monkey'?"

As his words fell, Tang San abruptly stopped moving inside the cage and ceased dodging.

His chest heaved violently, and raging fury burned in his eyes.

"DI TIAN!!!"

Tang San's roar shook heaven and earth, golden divine power surging wildly over his body.

With towering rage filling his heart, Tang San no longer cared whether pouring more divine power into this divine sense clone would bring trouble from the God of Destruction.

He opened one hand and raised his palm toward the sky.

The next moment, a golden pillar of light plunged from the heavens, enveloping Tang San's divine sense clone!

Tang San's divine sense clone instantly blazed with golden light, its might soaring as it leaped from the upper ranks of a Second-Level God into the realm of a First-Level God!

"Sea God Realm!"

As Tang San's furious shout rang out, surging seawater appeared out of thin air around him, its churning waves sweeping away the ravaged ruins.

The seawater formed an enormous vortex around him, enclosing him at its center.

At the center of the vortex, Tang San's soul power rapidly replenished, and his wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The Sea God Realm was none other than the Sea God Domain!

But he was not finished yet.

He brandished the Sea God Trident in his hand, now restored to wholeness.

Even darker seawater appeared around him, radiating a bone-piercing chill.

"True Lunar Water!"

The dark seawater condensed around him, forming a water dragon hundreds of meters long!

"ROAR!"

The water dragon roared furiously, twisting its body as it rampaged through the cage formed by the purple discs of light.

The purple soul power attacks inside the cage surged toward the water dragon, but something strange happened.

When those attacks struck the water dragon, they did not explode. Instead, its body swallowed them, like clay oxen sinking into the sea, making them part of itself.

Before long, the water dragon had devoured every attack inside the cage.

The water dragon abruptly changed direction and charged toward the surrounding purple discs of light!

Just as a purple disc was about to envelop it, the water dragon nimbly twisted its body and instead swallowed the disc from the side.

Repeating this maneuver again and again, it actually tore an opening in the cage imprisoning Tang San!

"Di Tian! Die!!"

Tang San transformed into a streak of light and charged out of the cage, glaring so fiercely that his eyes seemed ready to bulge out of their sockets.

The water dragon, carrying a multitude of attacks within its body, followed close behind, twisting its enormous body as it suddenly accelerated!!

"Just what I wanted!"

Di Tian let out a fierce shout.

Just as the water dragon was about to pounce on him, he thrust out his hand.

A purple disc of light hundreds of meters in diameter instantly appeared before him.

Faced with this sudden disc, even larger than itself, the water dragon could no longer evade it by swallowing it from the side as it had before.

It was moving too fast to stop and could only unleash a furious roar of defiance before the enormous purple disc swallowed it whole!!

"What?!"

Seeing this, Tang San, who was charging from the other side, abruptly stopped in midair.

Di Tian raised his other hand toward Tang San.

The next moment, enormous purple discs of light appeared in all six directions around Tang San—front, back, left, right, above, and below—forming a cube that sealed him in completely.

"This is bad!"

Tang San's expression changed drastically as he instantly understood Di Tian's intent.

But it was already too late. The water dragon carrying those terrifying attacks had already emerged from one direction, closing to within a few dozen feet of him!

"ROAR!"

The water dragon roared furiously, and streaks of light from exploding soul power shot out from within its body!!

In the sky, a dazzling fireball rapidly expanded, illuminating the entire horizon.

At the fireball's center, Tang San's divine sense clone, despite now possessing the body of a First-Level God, lasted only a brief instant!!

Then he let out an earth-shaking scream of agony before being reduced to ash in the explosion.]
