Sea God Helmet, Chen Yu Arrives

He could only defend...

To block the power of the soul-guided cannon shells.

At this moment, Chen Xinjie's expression grew increasingly grim, while the fury in his eyes burned ever hotter.

The endless barrage from the three legions...

Was now becoming more than he could bear.

Though he was a Peak Quasi-God, though the sea provided him with an inexhaustible supply of Soul Power, he was not truly a god.

He could grow tired, exhaust his strength, and feel weary under constant depletion.

One or two shells meant nothing to him. Even eight or ten were no more than an itch.

But three thousand, five thousand, eight thousand...

They came without end, without pause.

They blanketed the sky like a swarm of locusts.

That was more than he could endure.

And it finally enraged Chen Xinjie!

"Insolence!"

"How can you be so ignorant of your own limits!"

"Chen Yu actually taught you to have no sense of rank or respect, to the point that you dare attack even me!"

His voice boomed like thunder, sending visible rings of sound rippling across the sea.

That voice carried anger, Humiliation, and the furious rage of one who had been affronted.

He was the mighty Vast Sea Douluo, a Peak Quasi-God, the master of the War God Temple...

Yet he had been driven to this state by a pack of ants!

This was simply the greatest humiliation!

Chen Xinjie turned his hands over, and an entirely azure helmet appeared between them.

The helmet was completely blue, as though it had been condensed from the purest seawater, its surface flowing with a faint halo of light.

A fist-sized blue gemstone was embedded at its crown, radiating a gentle yet profound glow, as if it contained the power of the entire ocean.

It was the Sea God Helmet.

However, this Sea God Helmet was not an authentic artifact, but an imitation Tang San had crafted based on his own divine armor.

It was meant to ensure that the Sea God Family possessed enough power to sustain his faith as the Sea God.

As Chen Xinjie put on the Sea God Helmet, the entire ocean seemed to begin obeying his command.

In that instant, heaven and earth changed color.

The previously calm sea churned violently, as if an invisible giant hand were stirring its depths.

Enormous waves surged up one after another.

They rose from a dozen meters to several dozen, then over a hundred meters, growing higher and fiercer by the moment.

The waves slammed against the fleet's hulls with dull roars. The ships rocked violently amid the towering swells, as though they could capsize at any moment.

In the sky...

Dark clouds gathered from every direction, completely blotting out the moonlight and starlight.

The cloud cover grew thicker and lower...

Pressing down so heavily that people could barely breathe.

Lightning streaked through the clouds, thunder exploded across the sky, and fierce winds howled over the sea, raising wave after wave.

The ocean was enraged!

At that moment, the waves were like the fangs of wild beasts...

Crashing toward the fleet one after another.

The fleet was rocked unsteadily by them.

The massive warships, each hundreds of meters long, were like tiny leaves amid the waves, tossed up and down and swaying from side to side.

The hulls emitted piercing screeches of twisting metal, as if they might break apart at any moment.

Objects inside the cabins rolled everywhere.

Unsecured tables, chairs, equipment, and weapons all slid toward the tilted side of the ships.

The soldiers could only press themselves against the walls or grab onto anything within reach to keep their balance.

Their faces were filled with terror.

Yet no one screamed, and no one wailed. They gritted their teeth, endured their fear, and held on amid the monstrous waves.

In an instant, the cannon fire stopped.

Not because the soldiers had retreated, but because the ships were shaking too violently for them to aim.

The gunners were tossed in every direction. The view through their sights shook violently, making it impossible to lock onto a target.

Even if they forced themselves to fire, the shells would miss by miles and might even strike their own allies.

The commanders gritted their teeth and ordered the bombardment suspended.

At that moment, Chen Xinjie's figure flashed, and he appeared on the other side of the fleet.

His speed was astonishingly fast.

One second ago, he had still been directly in front of the fleet.

The next second...

He was already at the fleet's left flank.

Waves surged beneath his feet, fierce winds howled around him, and lightning struck above his head.

He stood there like the Sea God descending upon the mortal world, majestic and untouchable.

He looked down arrogantly at the fleet. The rage in his eyes had subsided, replaced by lofty disdain.

His chin lifted slightly, and a smug smile curled at his lips, as though victory was already in his grasp.

"This is the power of a god!"

"How dare mortals like you provoke Divine Might!"

His voice echoed through the night sky, carrying an unquestionable majesty.

"But if you mortals kneel and beg for mercy..."

"I may consider..."

"Forgiving your disrespect!"

His words were full of condescension.

He was offering these ordinary soldiers an opportunity.

Kneel, admit their mistakes, and submit.

As long as they lowered their heads.

He could generously spare them.

And in his eyes...

That was already the greatest mercy.

The fleet remained silent.

No one chose to kneel.

The soldiers clenched their weapons tightly and stared fixedly at that figure, unyielding flames burning in their eyes.

They could die...

But they would never bow to the enemy!

The three legion commanders stood in the command room, watching Chen Xinjie's lofty demeanor through the soul-guided screens, their faces ashen.

Yet there was no fear in their eyes, only fury and unwillingness.

Just then.

On the eastern horizon...

A brilliant radiance suddenly flared.

It rose from the eastern horizon.

Growing brighter and more intense...

Until it dyed the entire eastern sky gold.

And within that light...

Was a majesty that made souls tremble.

It was as if the being within that radiance were the supreme ruler of heaven and earth, before whom all things had to submit.

A figure walked through the void.

Step by step, neither hurried nor slow.

His feet stepped upon empty air. With every step, faint golden ripples spread beneath them.

His robes fluttered softly in the night wind. No Soul Power fluctuations emanated from him, yet he naturally exuded an aura so overwhelming that heaven and earth seemed to pale before it.

He had come.

Chen Yu had come.

Chen Xinjie stared at the newcomer and froze on the spot.

His eyes widened round.

At that moment, his face was filled with disbelief, and his entire body stood rigid as though struck by lightning.

He could not help crying out.

"How is that possible!"

"Why are you here!"

His voice was filled with shock and disbelief.

Wasn't Chen Yu supposed to be confronting Yun Ming outside Shrek City?

Shrek City was thousands of miles from Skysea City. Even if Chen Yu was a Peak Quasi-God, he could not possibly cross such an immense distance in so little time.

Moreover, Yun Ming should still have been confronting Chen Yu. How could Chen Yu possibly have gotten away?

Unless...

A thought that chilled him to the bone surfaced in his mind.

Unless—

Chen Yu had intended to come deal with him personally from the very beginning.
