Splash!
The moment they clashed, Sea Dragon Douluo, despite holding the advantage of terrain, was knocked into the seabed by a single strike from Golden Crocodile Douluo. That tyrannical strength left the two great sea soul beast clans silent with fear.
"We're leaving, we're leaving! Hurry up and go!"
The Evil Orca King seized the chance and swam toward the distant deep sea without so much as looking back.
Behind him, the great mass of Evil Orcas fled the scene one after another, each scrambling to get away, terrified that if they swam even a little slower, Golden Crocodile Douluo's attack would land on them instead.
With the Evil Orca clan gone, the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan was left in an awkward position, unable to advance or retreat.
Xiao Bai looked at Golden Crocodile Douluo, who was radiating a terrifying pressure in midair. Gritting her teeth, she was about to launch a fearless attack.
Just then, a blue light approached from afar. Under countless watching gazes, it first lifted Sea Dragon Douluo up from the seabed. Then Jiang Yuan and the others only felt their vision blur, and a figure appeared beside Xiao Bai.
"A spatial fluctuation!"
Jiang Yuan's eyes shifted slightly. Just now, he had sensed that the space around them seemed to distort ever so faintly.
That was spatial power only an Ultimate Douluo could touch.
However, there was an instinct in his mind telling him that once he broke through to level fifty, he would be able to sever this spatial power.
At that point, an Ultimate Douluo would seemingly lose the ability to leap through space in front of him.
That's kind of strong!
The moment that instinct surfaced, even Jiang Yuan himself was startled. At level fifty, he would be able to affect an Ultimate Douluo's state. The strength of the Void Ancient Dragon seemed even greater than he had imagined.
Then at level seventy, wouldn't he be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with a god?
"Sea God Douluo!"
While Jiang Yuan's thoughts wandered, Golden Crocodile Douluo stared gravely at the woman ahead. Her entire body was shrouded in a layer of bright-red robes, and she had long blue hair.
"Greetings, High Priestess."
"Sea Dragon is guilty. I have brought shame upon Sea God Island."
After Bo Saixi rescued him, Sea Dragon Douluo knelt before her with a face full of shame.
"This senior's generation is even half a step above mine. Losing to him is no disgrace."
Bo Saixi raised her hand and helped Sea Dragon Douluo up, her calm eyes as deep as the ocean turning toward Jiang Yuan's group.
"Qian Daoliu once mentioned you to me. You are Spirit Hall's Second Worship, are you not?"
"Spirit Hall has gone to sea once more. What exactly are you after?"
"This old man has already said it. Spirit Hall has no intention of clashing with Sea God Island. This trip is merely to bring a few children out for training."
"Surely Sea God Island does not go so far as to forbid Spirit Hall from setting out to sea?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo did not retreat in the slightest just because he was facing Bo Saixi. He spoke calmly and unhurriedly.
"The sea is vast, and it is free. Sea God Island has no right to forbid Spirit Hall from venturing onto the ocean," Bo Saixi said with a nod.
"But stirring up slaughter upon the sea is something Sea God Island will not allow."
"The Sea God never gave Sea God Island any divine decree to interfere in conflicts between humans and soul beasts, did he?" Golden Crocodile Douluo's gaze flickered as he spoke in an unreadable tone.
Bo Saixi fell silent. The Sea God had indeed left no such divine decree. On the contrary, he had forbidden Sea God Island from interfering in disputes upon the ocean.
He had only ordered the high priests of each generation to keep a close watch on the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. Everything else was secondary.
Even if Golden Crocodile Douluo wiped out the Evil Orca and Demon Soul Great White Shark clans today, Sea God Island would have no justifiable grounds to act.
In truth, the Evil Orca and Demon Soul Great White Shark clans had been fighting for a long time. If the Sea God truly cared about the old bond that Xiao Bai had once been his mount and was Sea God Island's guardian beast, Sea God Island would not have simply watched the two clans fight.
They would have taken action and exterminated the Evil Orcas long ago.
Keeping them alive, instead, allowed them to become stepping stones for the Sea God's inheritor.
The Evil Orca King was Tang San's eighth soul ring, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was Tang San's ninth soul ring, and the whale brain even became the new Sea God Heart.
His entire million years of cultivation had all gone to fulfill Tang San.
To his inheritor, the Sea God was rather good. But to others, that was hard to say.
"Then I am killing cruel sea soul beasts like the Evil Orcas, yet Sea God Island not only refuses to support me but instead comes to condemn me. What logic is that?"
Seeing Bo Saixi fall silent, Golden Crocodile Douluo let out a mocking laugh and spoke.
"Second Worship, you truly are eloquent."
"But I have my own selfish motives too."
Bo Saixi spoke indifferently. Immediately after, an immense, irresistible energy erupted from her body, and a faint blue light shone along with it.
A layer of blue airflow swept out from her, expanding rapidly around her body. In an instant, the spread of that blue light increased by geometric multiples, and it was as if a gigantic vortex had appeared in the sky.
On the surface, that vortex looked somewhat like a tornado, but it was absolutely not the power of wind, because what it contained was entirely the energy fluctuation of the water attribute.
On the ship, Jiang Yuan felt a powerful pulling force. It was not only him; every Spirit Hall expert on the ship felt it too, as though a rope had been tied around their bodies and was yanking them upward.
Although they did not know what consequences awaited them if they were pulled over, one only had to think about it to know it would be nothing good.
"Martial Soul True Body!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo activated his Martial Soul True Body at the first opportunity. The golden Golden Crocodile King looked like a golden spear, stabbing straight toward Bo Saixi in the sky.
Seeing this, the Sea God martial soul behind Bo Saixi stirred slightly, and a massive trident immediately descended from the vortex.
Rumble!
A tremendous boom rang out, and two forces of golden and blue light occupied the sky.
After a stalemate of two and a half seconds, the blue energy gained the upper hand and quickly wrapped itself around the golden energy.
"What do we do, Brother Jiang Yuan? Grandpa Golden Crocodile doesn't seem able to beat this bad woman." At the bow, Na'er watched the situation in the sky nervously, one small hand clutching Jiang Yuan's sleeve.
Jiang Yuan watched the clash in the sky with a grave expression. Hearing her, he turned his head and comforted her. "Don't be scared, Na'er. Watch Brother Jiang Yuan call for backup to beat the bad woman."
"Mm-hmm! Do your best, Brother Jiang Yuan!" Na'er immediately nodded excitedly and looked at Jiang Yuan with worshipful eyes.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan smiled faintly, looked toward a certain space behind them, sensed the faint fluctuations coming from within, and shouted, "Grand Worship, if you don't come out soon, then if I get captured by Sea God Island later, let's see how you explain it when Sister Xue'er comes back."
"You little slippery brat, how did you know I'd come?"
The surroundings seemed to fall into a brief silence. A helpless voice came from behind him, and Qian Daoliu, dressed in gray robes and carrying an utterly ordinary aura, appeared behind Jiang Yuan, looking at him in astonishment.
"I didn't know at first, but after Senior Bo Saixi appeared just now, there was a disturbance in the space behind me. That was what made me guess the Grand Worship had arrived."
After seeing Qian Daoliu appear, and seeing that his gaze always subconsciously drifted toward Bo Saixi in the distance, Jiang Yuan couldn't even be bothered to complain.
As expected of the Romance Continent.
From the ninety-ninth-rank Limit Douluo at the top to the six-year-olds who had just awakened at the bottom, all their minds were filled with thoughts of romance.
