The clear sky had turned dark with pressing clouds under the influence of Bo Saixi's Soul Skill.
To the ordinary residents of Sea God Island, the ability to change the weather was nothing short of a divine miracle.
Demon Soul Great White Shark King Xiaobai transformed into human form and came ashore.
Although she was a hundred-thousand-year Sea Soul Beast, the gap between her strength and that of a Limit Douluo was enormous.
She had seen Bo Saixi leave the Sea God Temple, summon her Sea God Martial Soul, use the Sea God Domain, and suddenly attack the enemy.
She had thought that with the power granted by the Sea God, Bo Saixi could easily keep the enemy at bay.
Even now, Demon Soul Great White Shark King Xiaobai still had no idea what had provoked Bo Saixi, the Sea God High Priestess, into such a drastic response.
She had even used her Ninth Soul Skill.
"What in the world is fighting the High Priestess?" Old Sea Witch asked in shock.
Xiao Bai shook her head and waved her hands. "Don't ask me. I don't know, but I can say for sure it isn't the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King."
"The other party is no ordinary powerhouse. They've reached the terrifying altitude of eight thousand meters," Sea Dragon Douluo said uneasily.
Even Titled Douluo with flying Martial Souls couldn't reach an altitude of eight thousand meters.
As for whether a Limit Douluo with a flying Martial Soul could reach that height, Sea Dragon didn't know.
Sea God Island had never produced a Limit Douluo with a flying Martial Soul.
Faced with a battle between Limit Douluo powerhouses fought at a distance,
even these powerful figures on Sea God Island, whose strength rivaled that of Titled Douluo, couldn't get a decent view.
The sea breeze stirred Bo Saixi's long hair.
She raised her head. With her Spiritual Power bolstering her, her gaze pierced the clouds and fixed firmly on Qian Xunji.
He was a Limit Douluo clad in golden armor, his face concealed.
She saw him standing atop a magic array, a golden Soul Power orb gathering before him.
The golden orb radiated light and fire, and Bo Saixi sensed danger from it.
A deadly threat that made her pupils tremble.
"No wonder Lord Sea God Poseidon chose him," she praised inwardly.
She wasn't praising Qian Xunji's unexpected performance or his formidable strength.
As the most devout follower of Lord Sea God Poseidon, Bo Saixi, the Sea God High Priestess, would praise no one but Lord Sea God Poseidon—even if she was praising someone's good judgment.
She raised the scepter in her hand high and drew on the power of the sea, summoning a huge wave that rose before her and became a wall of water to block Qian Xunji's Convergence Cannon.
A golden beam of light came crashing down from the heavens, piercing the clouds. Bearing unparalleled destructive force, it hurtled toward Sea God Island.
The residents of Sea God Island, unaware of what was really happening, thought it was another divine miracle from the Sea God.
"Lord Sea God has manifested!"
"Praise Lord Sea God!"
"We welcome the Sea God! May you reign for a thousand generations, sweep away evil, and rule the seas!"
"What kind of move is that? Why do I feel like I'm about to die?" Xiao Bai blurted out in terror.
Sea Dragon Douluo hurriedly shouted orders. "Use your strongest attack Soul Skills at once! We have to weaken that golden beam!"
The Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo and a hundred-thousand-year Sea Soul Beast all unleashed their strongest long-range Soul Skills at the beam.
But their attacks had no effect on it at all.
Even the wall of water raised by Bo Saixi began to vaporize when the golden beam struck it.
"The heat is turning the seawater into steam," Bo Saixi exclaimed in shock.
In disbelief and helplessness, she watched as the golden beam slowly pierced through her defensive wall of water.
Bo Saixi gritted her teeth, steeled her resolve, and braced herself against the golden beam with the High Priestess Scepter in hand.
The instant the High Priestess Scepter touched the Convergence Cannon, an explosion erupted.
An explosion was art.
The golden orb, radiating terrifying heat, expanded without end,
devouring Sea God Island's beach and the forest beside it.
The blast wave hurled boulders through the air and crushed Old Sea Witch Douluo to death.
Countless residents who had been kneeling in prayer across the island were blown away by the shock wave. Some died, while others were injured.
In an instant, more than half the people on Sea God Island were dead or wounded.
Shielded by Sea God's Light, Bo Saixi hadn't been knocked unconscious. But she had failed to withstand the Convergence Cannon, and was blasted away, gravely wounded, and left sprawled on the ground.
After struggling to her feet, Bo Saixi looked around at the residents' plight. Guilt welled up inside her, and her eyes turned bloodshot as she panted like a bull.
"Ninth Soul Skill, Sea God Summoning!"
A gigantic Sea God Phantom stood atop Sea God Island.
The divine radiance of the Sea God spread out, soothing the people.
The Ninth Soul Skill, used by the Sea God High Priestess to summon the Sea God from the Divine Realm, had called forth not his true body, but a divine consciousness—with its own will.
His divine consciousness swept over the place and saw wails of pain across the land of his inheritance. He flew into a rage.
What damned fool dared to stir up trouble on the Sea God's own turf and slaughter his followers in droves?
When the Sea God's gaze fell on the figure high in the sky, clad in Emperor Armor, he froze.
An Angel Descendant?
An Asura Successor!
What was going on? Why did his head feel like it was buzzing?
If Qian Xunji were merely an Angel Descendant, he could kill him and be done with it.
Who would dare object if he killed a villain who had slaughtered the Sea God's followers?
But if he dared lay a finger on an Asura Successor—
Poseidon: The Asura Blood Sword would come for me the next second.
He knew all too well how badly that old Asura wanted to retire.
Poseidon's divine consciousness swept over the area again, and he understood the situation.
He looked down at his High Priestess and instantly felt a headache coming on.
His own High Priestess had struck first. He was in the wrong.
But he couldn't let Qian Xunji keep firing a divine skill like the Convergence Cannon at Sea God Island.
If Sea God Island were destroyed, how could he find a suitable successor and pass on his Godhood? How could he flee this cursed Divine Realm?
If Asura wanted to run away, did the Sea God not want to as well?
"Asura Successor, there's been a misunderstanding. Do me a favor and stop."
Sea God Poseidon's majestic voice reached the furious Bo Saixi's ears.
It immediately dispelled her rage.
Confusion filled her heart.
"Isn't this armored man the Sea God's successor?"
"How did he become the Asura Successor?"
"Did I get it wrong? Impossible!"
Bo Saixi didn't think she was the one who had made a mistake.
If anyone was at fault, it was Qian Xunji for suddenly coming to Sea God Island and making her misjudge the situation.
Bo Saixi: I wasn't wrong. Qian Xunji was.
"This battle between Limit Douluo is mine," Qian Xunji said, his gaze fixed on the gigantic Sea God Phantom. He stopped charging the Convergence Cannon and began reclaiming his Soul Power as he spoke.
Divine Realm, Sea God Temple.
Sea God Poseidon's true body shared the sensations of the divine consciousness Bo Saixi had summoned.
When he heard Qian Xunji declare, "This battle between Limit Douluo is mine," he immediately flashed over to the Asura God Temple.
"Asura, what's the first God Trial you gave your successor?"
"Oh, the Sea God is here, uninvited, just to ask me that?" Asura God said with a smug smile.
"What do you think? My successor's pretty good, isn't he?" he bragged.
Sea God Poseidon wanted to say, "All you know how to do is brag," but unfortunately, he didn't have the strength to back it up.
"Asura, answer my question first."
"Just a simple challenge against a Limit Douluo."
"My successor had only recently broken through to Limit Douluo, so I wanted to see how strong he was."
"I never expected him to challenge your High Priestess and force her to summon you to fight for her."
"Your High Priestess has such a huge advantage on Sea God Island. Even a divine official who descended to the mortal realm might not be able to beat her."
On the surface, Asura spun this tale to boast about his successor and relish the Sea God's misfortune, all in good fun.
But inside, he was displeased that Qian Xunji hadn't acted according to his plan.
