Tang Chen vs. Bo Saixi
Tang Chen had barely finished speaking when he vanished.
The next moment, his figure appeared diagonally above Bo Saixi.
The Clear Sky Hammer suddenly grew larger in his hand, its head the size of a millstone, and with a whistling sound, it smashed down on Bo Saixi.
Bo Saixi remained calm as a deep blue water shield instantly materialized before her.
"Boom!"
The Clear Sky Hammer slammed into the water shield, creating a violent shockwave. Ripples spread across the surface of the water shield, but it did not shatter.
After this hammer blow, Bo Saixi also ascended into the air.
Immediately afterwards, a continuous stream of ocean power replenished her Soul Power lost during the ascent.
Both Tang Chen, who was fighting, and Qian Daoliu, who was watching, were somewhat surprised.
Even though this is Sea God Mountain, Bo Saixi is able to easily manipulate the power of the sea.
Seeing the other party's confusion, Bo Saixi explained, "As long as I am within the territory of Sea God Island, with my Sea God Martial Soul, I can freely mobilize the power of the sea."
Tang Chen's lips twitched; this was a bit too much of a plot hole.
"Hahaha." Tang Chen laughed loudly, "That's exactly why it's worth me going all out!"
Before his voice faded, the two Yellow Soul Ring beneath him shattered simultaneously, and the energy of the Hundred-Year Soul Ring surged into his body.
Tang Chen's aura suddenly surged, and the Clear Sky Hammer grew larger once more.
He lightly touched the ground with his toes, and his entire body soared into the sky.
"The Great Sumeru Hammer!"
Tang Chen let out a low shout, and the Clear Sky Hammer crashed down with unstoppable momentum.
Bo Saixi raised an eyebrow and then released the Sea God Domain, a blue light spreading outward from her center.
The moment Tang Chen's figure was enveloped by the Sea God Domain, his movements were noticeably slowed for a second, but he immediately reacted, a red light flashing in his eyes.
"Divine Slaughter's Domain!"
A white domain surged from his body, colliding with the blue Sea God Domain.
The Divine Slaughter's Domain attempted to devour Bo Saixi's Sea God Domain, but was instead suppressed.
After all, no matter how powerful the Divine Slaughter's Domain, and no matter how much it relies on Tang Chen's killing intent to enhance its amplification effect, it cannot change the fact that the Divine Slaughter's Domain is only a prototype of God-Tier domain, or rather, a low-end version.
But the Sea God Domain is a true God-Tier domain!
Bo Saixi gave him no chance to catch his breath; a gigantic Water Dragon rose into the air from the Sea God Phantom behind her.
Tang Chen's pupils contracted, and the two purple Soul Ring beneath him shattered instantly. A massive surge of energy flowed into his body, and his aura rose once more.
Tang Chen swung his hammer fiercely, colliding head-on with the Water Dragon.
"Boom!"
The Water Dragon's body was smashed to pieces by the hammer, and Tang Chen's body was also pushed back several meters by the recoil.
Their first direct confrontation was evenly matched.
But Tang Chen didn't stop, and shouted in a low voice, "Again!"
All the remaining Soul Ring shattered simultaneously, and the red light around Tang Chen grew brighter and brighter. Not only that, his Spirit Bone activated at the same time, and his power attribute was boosted to the extreme.
The Great Sumeru Hammer reached its peak at this moment.
"Get ready for this strike!"
Tang Chen, wielding the hammer with both hands, descended from the sky. The Clear Sky Hammer, carrying a world-destroying power, firmly locked onto Bo Saixi's figure.
Of course, if Bo Saixi wanted to forcibly break free from the opponent's Soul Power lock, it would be relatively easy; all she needed to do was activate her Martial Soul Avatar.
After all, the Great Sumeru Hammer is just Self-Created Soul Skill. Although it is very strong, it does not have the Soul Skill effect of 100% lock-on tracking.
This kind of tracking and locking effect cannot be achieved with Self-Created Soul Skill Soul Skill skills; it can only be granted by Soul Ring or Spirit Bone.
Bo Saixi did the same; she didn't dodge the hammer but chose to meet it head-on.
This was just a friendly sparring match, so even if she could dodge Tang Chen's attack, she wouldn't.
She wanted to see firsthand just how powerful Tang Chen's attack was.
Moreover, she is the spokesperson for the Sea God and the High Priest of Sea God Island.
The Soul Power fluctuations generated by her battle with Tang Chen were definitely visible to everyone on Sea God Island. If she hid, what kind of logic would that be?
Moreover, to be honest, Bo Saixi mentally compared Tang Chen's strength with that of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
Then she felt that the power of Tang Chen's Great Sumeru Hammer, which exploded with all nine rings, was actually no stronger than that of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
After all, a being like the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King requires her to use the defensive array of Sea God Island and gather all the Sea God's Power to deal with it.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Sea God's Avatar!"
Blue light burst forth from her body, and a gigantic Sea God Phantom overlapped with her.
Her aura surged instantly, reaching a completely new level.
"Gather!"
Bo Saixi let out a low shout, and a large amount of ocean power gathered around her, condensing into a towering wave in front of her.
A giant wave surged up like a tsunami, heading straight for Tang Chen's Great Sumeru Hammer.
The shockwave spread in all directions, even creating a huge dent in the surface of the lowest Ring Sea.
Demon Soul Great White Shark Xiao Bai: "Wow, another land-based Soul Master can actually fight the High Priest to a standstill! When did there become so many Peerless Douluo?"
Xiao Bai's head shrank back into the Ring Sea.
The light lasted for a few seconds, then slowly dissipated.
Tang Chen's figure fell from the sky, his feet landing on the ground of Sea God Mountain.
His Clear Sky Hammer returned to its original size, but the light on its surface had dimmed.
His face was slightly pale, and his breathing was a little rapid.
Bo Saixi's face also turned slightly pale before she fell to the ground.
"You are very strong."
Although Bo Saixi said that, if she were to actually rank them, Tang Chen... would be inferior to Qian Daoliu.
She had finally figured out the weaknesses of the opponent's Ring Detonation and Great Sumeru Hammer.
The energy generated by the simultaneous explosion of the nine rings would likely allow Tang Chen to maintain high combat power for half an hour or even longer.
But this means that he doesn't use any attacks in this situation.
Once used, the energy is used up little by little, and Tang Chen just poured almost all of his Soul Power into the Great Sumeru Hammer!
