"You're embracing twin beauties and indulging in pleasure. You're numbing yourself with alcohol and women. You're running from your responsibilities, running from your fate."
"Back then, I still held on to a sliver of hope for you. I thought you'd only lost your way for a little while, and that as long as I came here, as long as we worked hard, we could still win."
"But today—"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at the Sky Screen, disappointment filling her cool, clear eyes.
"In the face of that higher-dimensional world, the prince's title you're so proud of is a joke."
"And that so-called Evil-Eyed White Tiger Martial Soul of yours was shattered with a single slap."
"The vows of eternal love you once made to me, those grand promises that you'd take me to the pinnacle of the world—they now sound just like what Elder Ge Ye said: you don't know how high the heavens are."
"And what makes me look down on you most isn't your weakness."
"There's no shame in being weak."
"Senior Bibi Dong is weak too. She swept floors and drank swill too."
"But what about you, Dai Mubai?"
"Look at your eyes now."
"That's the look of someone utterly enslaved."
"To stay alive, you can cast aside your dignity. You can gnaw on that bone like a dog, and even wag your tail at Xiao Yan, the very man you once mocked as a good-for-nothing.
"Your backbone is softer than your Martial Soul."
"Though I, Zhu Zhuqing, am only a woman, and my Martial Soul is merely the Hell Spirit Cat, I'd rather die in battle, rather be torn apart by the strong of that world, than live like a maggot the way you do!"
"From this day on, you are no longer my fiancé."
"This damned engagement, this ridiculous fate imposed by the Imperial Family—it ends here."
Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath and turned to leave.
Zhu Zhuqing's figure vanished around a corner of Shrek Academy, leaving behind only the sight of Dai Mubai still pleading and wagging his tail on the Sky Screen—a thorn lodged in the hearts of every person on Douluo Continent.
Yet the Sky Screen gave Douluo Continent little time to catch its breath.
That grand voice rang out once more.
[ Ding! In light of Explorer Dai Mubai having lost the heart of a strong warrior and become a pet, he no longer has any value for the livestream. ]
[The exploration of the higher-dimensional world must continue!]
[The Sky Screen's random selection mechanism is activating once more!]
[Number of candidates this time: two!]
[Locking onto the highest combat strength, breaking through the plane barrier—]
Buzz!!
This time, the commotion was greater than ever before!
Two beams of golden light pierced the heavens and earth, landing in the two most mysterious places on Douluo Continent.
Overseas, Sea God Island!
And the Star Dou Forest, Lake of Life!
"That's the direction of Sea God Island?!"
Inside Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu abruptly lifted his head. A glimmer of shock flashed through his cloudy old eyes.
"And the core region of the Star Dou Forest! That's the aura of the Beast God!"
Sea God Island.
Bo Saixi held her scepter, her red robes snapping in the wind.
She gazed at the golden light enveloping her, but unlike the others, she showed no sign of panic.
As a Limit Douluo at level 99 and the Sea God's representative in the mortal world, she possessed a pride all her own.
"Has it finally come to my turn?"
Bo Saixi's eyes seemed to hold an endless ocean as she glanced around at the terrified Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians. Her voice was ethereal and commanding. "There is no need to panic."
"If I was chosen, then it must be Lord Sea God's will."
"I'd like to see whether that so-called Battle Through the Heavens World can withstand the might of this boundless sea!"
"Upon the sea, I, Bo Saixi, am invincible!"
The Star Dou Forest, Lake of Life.
A gigantic black dragon soared into the sky, blotting out the sun.
Di Tian! The Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King with eight hundred thousand years of cultivation!
"My lord!" Di Tian lowered his head and looked toward the lake, battle intent blazing in his eyes.
"Since the people of that world insulted Er Ming, I'll go demand justice!"
"I'll make them understand that the dignity of the Dragon Clan must never be violated!"
"I, Di Tian, am the Dragon God's claw, a true member of the Dragon Clan!"
Filled with boundless confidence and pride, the two strongest beings on Douluo Continent vanished in the golden light!
Battle Through the Heavens Plane.
The Sky Screen didn't send Bo Saixi somewhere with abundant water, nor did it send Di Tian to the outskirts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
First-person perspective: Bo Saixi!
Location: Jia Ma Empire, Tagor Desert!
Boom!
Bo Saixi's figure appeared out of thin air in a boundless sea of golden sand.
The moment she landed, before she could even strike the imposing pose of a Peerless Douluo, a terrifying wave of heat swept toward her!
The temperature here was so high that it warped the air!
"Th-this—where is this?"
Bo Saixi's expression changed drastically.
To her horror, she discovered that there wasn't a trace of water element in the air!
This was a world of fire and earth, a forbidden land for water!
"My Soul Power is being suppressed?!"
Bo Saixi tried to summon her Sea God Martial Soul, only to find that the extreme environment was holding her back. Her once boundless, ocean-like Soul Power now flowed with extreme difficulty, and she couldn't bring even three-tenths of her strength to bear!
Just then—
"Hiss, hiss—"
The dunes around her suddenly began to writhe.
Dozens of Snake-Person Tribe warriors emerged, their upper bodies human and their lower bodies serpentine tails. They clutched poisoned spears and stared coldly at the red-robed woman who had suddenly intruded.
Atop a dune, a stunning purple figure slowly appeared.
She wore a crown and possessed peerless beauty. Lazily reclining on her throne, she gazed down with narrow, alluring eyes that held the indifference of one who viewed all living beings as ants.
Queen Medusa!
"A human?"
Queen Medusa glanced at Bo Saixi and spoke in a languid, honeyed voice that carried a deadly menace. "You've trespassed into the sacred grounds of the Snake-Person Tribe. Are you a spy sent by the Jia Ma Empire?"
"Impudent!"
Though her strength had been diminished, Bo Saixi's dignity as a strong warrior would not brook such an insult.
She brought her scepter down hard. "I am Bo Saixi, High Priest of the Sea God!"
"Tell your queen to come out and meet me!"
"Sea God?"
Queen Medusa seemed to hear a joke, the corner of her mouth curling into a mocking smile. "Calling yourself a Sea God in the desert? Has the sun dried out your brain?"
"Since you refuse to tell the truth, then stay here and become fertilizer."
"Snake Sealing Curse!"
Queen Medusa raised her jade-like hand, and a strange beam of seven-colored light shot toward Bo Saixi.
"Sea God's Light!"
Bo Saixi was startled. She forcibly drained her Soul Power, and a blue protective radiance shot from the tip of her scepter.
Yet before that seven-colored beam, the Sea God's Light—which could withstand attacks from powerful Soul Beasts out at sea—was as fragile as a sheet of paper!
Crack!
The blue light shattered.
"Pfft!"
Bo Saixi abruptly spat out a mouthful of blood. The terrifying energy hurled her hundreds of meters away, slamming her into the scorching sand!
"How is this possible—"
Bo Saixi was disheveled, her face filled with disbelief. "I'm a level 99 Limit Douluo. How could I fail to withstand even a single move—"
Queen Medusa appeared before her in an instant. She planted a jade-like foot on Bo Saixi's shoulder and looked down at her coldly. "The water attribute inside you is quite pure."
"Perfect. I've been wanting to bathe lately, and the desert is short on water."
