On the other side, Qian Pocheng and his two companions clashed fiercely with Haimala.
"Haimala, you only broke through to level ninety-nine recently. Facing the three of us at once must be taking its toll on you!"
"Hmph, Qian Pocheng, you—what?!"
With the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians slain, the amplifying power of the Seven Sacred Pillars of Sea God Island vanished completely.
"The Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians have fallen!"
As he fought, Haimala sensed the deaths of the seven and erupted in fury. With a swing of his trident, he forced the other two back. Then the Seventh Soul Skill rippled across him.
"Spirit Hall, what a fine trick! Seventh Soul Skill, Tool Soul Avatar—Sea God Trident!!!"
Haimala no longer held back. He activated his Tool Soul Avatar, and the Sea God Trident burst with boundless light.
With one swing, the Angel Holy Sword that Qian Pocheng had conjured shattered to pieces, and Qian Pocheng was wounded by the blow as well.
"Roar!"
The Judgment Sacred Dragon struck back at once with a swipe of its claw, but Haimala knocked it away with his trident. The Sea God Trident unleashed immeasurable energy in his grasp.
Haimala became streaks of light, darting around the Judgment Sacred Dragon's body at incredible speed. The Sea God Trident repeatedly stabbed into its Dragon Body, and blood poured from its wounds.
"Cough, cough..."
Inside the Judgment Sacred Dragon, Murong Chayue and Xiao Qingmei, who were sustaining the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, were injured.
Haimala flew to the dragon's head and raised the Sea God Trident, ready to deal it a devastating blow. Seeing this, Qian Pocheng's Ninth Spirit Ring pulsed.
"Ninth Soul Skill, Angel Descent!!!"
Qian Pocheng unleashed his powerful Ninth Soul Skill. A Six-Winged Angel, brimming with divinity, appeared behind him, radiating holiness. He gave it everything he had and restrained Haimala's Sea God Trident.
"Stop!!"
Seeing their chance, Murong Chayue and Xiao Qingmei struck with all their might. They directed the Judgment Sacred Dragon to gather a terrifying amount of energy in its mouth and unleash the most powerful attack of their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
"Dual Flame Judgment—Sacred Dragon Breath!!!"
Energy surged forth. Haimala raised a hand to block it, while Qian Pocheng and the Judgment Sacred Dragon attacked with all their strength, unleashing their greatest power. The might of this attack had unquestionably reached the Limit. If Haimala took it head-on, he was bound to be wounded.
Boom—
A massive shockwave spread in every direction, raising a ten-thousand-zhang storm surge as the terrifying energy poured out.
When the raging waves subsided, the Sea God Trident—the Martial Soul in Haimala's hand—had dissolved into motes of light. The Judgment Sacred Dragon had also been shattered, reverting to Murong Chayue and Xiao Qingmei. The three of them had nearly exhausted their Soul Power to unleash that world-destroying strike.
Haimala had been restrained by Qian Daoliu's full strength for an instant and forced to take Murong Chayue and Xiao Qingmei's strongest combined attack head-on. His Martial Soul had been temporarily broken, leaving him unable to use it for a short while.
Qian Daoliu was overjoyed at the sight, but then he suddenly heard Murong Chayue cry out in alarm.
"Big brother, look out! Dodge!"
At her words, Qian Pocheng's heart jolted. He spun around and saw an enormous blood-red whale silently appear beside him and Haimala, crimson light gathering in its mouth.
"Vast Sea Blood Light!!!"
A blood-red beam, carrying terrifying energy, burst from the whale's jaws. It was trying to seize the chance to kill Qian Pocheng and Haimala!
"Look out!!"
Seeing this, Murong Chayue and Xiao Qingmei joined forces, quickly using the Soul Power they had left to form a defensive barrier in front of the two and block the attack.
"It's the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King! Retreat!!!"
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was a super Ferocious Beast of the sea, nearly a million years old. Its strength was enough to match a Limit Douluo, if not exceed one. Its attacks were overwhelmingly powerful.
Murong Chayue and Xiao Qingmei had already expended a great deal of Soul Power and could barely hold on. With a crash, the barrier broke apart, and blood-red light poured through, illuminating the sky.
At the critical moment, Haimala appeared in front of them. A golden Sea God Trident had appeared in his hand, and an aura of immense authority emanated from it.
"Beast, you dare raise havoc on my Sea God Island?!"
"Golden Thirteen Halberds, First Form: Unfixed Storm!!"
The divine mark at Haimala's brow lit up. His eyes filled with divinity, and he seemed like an entirely different person.
He swung the Sea God Trident, and golden energy surged forth, piercing straight through one of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's eyes. Blood streamed from the wound.
"Ah!!"
"Sea God, you win this time!!"
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King let out an angry roar, then plunged into the depths. The surface of the sea grew calm again. The divine mark at Haimala's brow faded, and his eyes returned to normal.
He slowly turned around and looked at Qian Pocheng. Handing him the unconscious Murong Chayue and Xiao Qingmei, he said:
"If the two of them hadn't blocked that attack and bought me an instant, I wouldn't have had time to summon the divine weapon, and the Sea God's will couldn't have descended in time. So I won't kill them myself. Whether they live or die is no longer my concern!"
With that, Haimala vanished. Qian Pocheng hurriedly examined their condition, then his expression grew grave.
"Their heart meridians are damaged, and their Martial Souls have been gravely wounded... This..."
"Not good!" Qian Pocheng realized what was happening and hurriedly flew toward the battlefield.
With the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians of Sea God Island dead, Bo Saixi was the only Titled Douluo left. So the ten Titled Douluo all attacked at once, trying to kill her. More than a dozen Soul Skills of different colors surged toward Bo Saixi, their power boundless.
But a flash of golden light swept past, and all the Soul Skill energy turned to ash. Haimala appeared, holding Sea God Island's divine weapon—the Sea God Trident. He turned to Bo Saixi and said:
"Xiao Xi, leave the rest to your teacher!"
Bo Saixi nodded. Haimala then looked toward the Titled Douluo of Spirit Hall, his expressionless face betraying nothing. But a strange field of force suddenly appeared. The Sea God Trident burst with tremendous energy, the sea churned, and blue-gold light radiated from Haimala's arm.
"Vast Sea Surge—Sea God's Funeral Song!!!"
The Sea God Trident in Haimala's grasp unleashed incomparable energy. Several streams of blue-gold light poured from the divine weapon. Sensing the deadly force, Xinghe Douluo reacted at once. As his Ninth Spirit Ring pulsed, he hurled Qian Daoliu out of the battlefield.
"Your Holiness, run! Ninth Soul Skill, River of Stars—Divine Spear's Might!!!"
Seeing this, the other worshippers knew there was no way they could survive the attack. They hurriedly pushed Azure Luan, Xiongshi, and the other weaker Titled Douluo away.
"You little brats, the future of Spirit Hall depends on you! Run!"
The five worshippers exchanged glances, then each unleashed a Ninth Soul Skill to buy the others time.
"Ninth Soul Skill, Crimson Flame Battlefield—Heaven-Burning Blaze!!"
"Ninth Soul Skill, Bloodthirsty Fangs—Execution Slash!!"
"Ninth Soul Skill, Sky-Splitting Heaven-Soaring Break!!"
"Ninth Soul Skill, Crocodile Emperor's Monstrous Fury!!"
"Kill!!!"
"Hmph, you overestimate yourselves."
Haimala controlled the Sea God Trident, unleashing boundless blue-gold energy that collided with their Soul Skills. In less than two breaths, his attack swallowed the five Soul Skills whole and slammed into the five worshippers.
They took the full force of the blow and were hurled away, crashing heavily onto the warship. Golden Crocodile survived thanks to the protection of his Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring and Hundred Thousand Year Torso Bone, though he was gravely wounded. The other four fell on the spot, lifeless.
