The spatial rift slowly healed as Qian Jue, dressed in black, stepped out into the air.
With his arms folded across his chest, he sized up the heavily armored man before him with interest, the man looking as though he faced a deadly enemy.
"So you're the good dog Tang San keeps in the lower realm?"
Qian Jue gave the man another cursory glance. "You spent three years looking for me, just so you could hurry over here and die?"
"How dare you! You dare speak Sea God's name so disrespectfully!"
Chen Hai flew into a rage, his eyes wide as nine soul rings appeared around him, a configuration enough to shock anyone.
Black, black, black, black, black, black, red, red, red, rose thunderously from beneath his feet.
Six black and three red!
At the same time, the sky behind Chen Hai instantly transformed into a vast ocean.
Raging waves churned among the clouds, carrying the immense soul power of a level ninety-nine Ultimate Douluo.
Combined with the faint divine might radiating from the Sea God Helmet, it crushed the surrounding space until it shattered inch by inch.
"Qian Jue! You heretic who defies the gods! Three years ago, you were lucky enough to escape.
Today, I, Chen Hai, will uphold justice on behalf of Heaven! I will use your head to honor Sea God's glory!"
Light flashed in Chen Hai's hand, and a completely azure spear radiating the aura of Sea God condensed into existence, its tip aimed directly at Qian Jue's brow.
Only when faced with this overwhelming aura, powerful enough to destroy heaven and earth, did Qian Jue show a little more interest and study the man seriously.
"Six black and three red soul rings, the cultivation of a level ninety-nine Ultimate Douluo, and that Sea God Helmet containing divine power..."
Qian Jue rubbed his chin, finally taking him somewhat seriously. "No wonder you dared to run up to me and bark so confidently."
Ultimate Douluos already stood at the peak of the continent. With the enhancement of a divine artifact, Chen Hai's combat strength could not be underestimated if they truly fought to the death.
Still, that made things a little interesting.
"Since you know fear, then kneel!"
Seeing that Qian Jue had not retaliated at once, Chen Hai assumed he had been intimidated by his overwhelming presence and immediately shouted sternly,
"Come back to Sea God Island with me obediently and kowtow before Sea God's statue to beg forgiveness!
As long as you willingly offer up your neck, I can grant you a swift death.
Otherwise, don't blame me for showing no mercy. I'll make you wish you were dead!"
Chen Hai looked down at Qian Jue coldly, as if he were already looking at a corpse.
Behind him, the entire sky had been completely assimilated into an azure ocean.
The waves roiled, and the water element was so dense it had reached an extreme. This stretch of heaven and earth had completely become his domain.
Today, he would absolutely erase Qian Jue, this heretic who had profaned the gods!
"Afraid? Kneel?"
Qian Jue looked as though he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"Chen Hai, Chen Hai, have you knelt on Sea God Island for so long that you've knelt your brain into ruin too?"
Qian Jue's smile suddenly vanished, and his gaze instantly turned as sharp as a blade.
"You think that with the little divine power you borrowed, you can strut around in front of me?"
Before his words had even faded, the space behind Qian Jue suddenly twisted.
"Boom—!"
A pure, extreme aura of darkness and destruction surged into the heavens, instantly tearing a massive gap through the azure ocean filling the sky.
Behind Qian Jue, eight pitch-black Fallen Angel wings burst open, blotting out the sky.
At the same time, four eerie demonic marks flashed one after another across his brow as the terrifying pressure of the Demigod Realm erupted without restraint.
It forcibly drove Chen Hai's ocean domain back several hundred meters!
"Y-Your cultivation?!" Chen Hai's pupils contracted sharply, and the lofty expression on his face was instantly replaced by shock.
This guy actually possessed the power of a god as well?!
And judging by this, he seemed to have already accepted a divine trial.
No wonder he dared to be so arrogant.
"Surprised?"
Qian Jue sneered and reached into the air with his right hand. A slender demonic sword burning with dark purple flames condensed in his palm.
"You don't even understand the gap in our strength, yet you dared to come out and throw your life away."
"Today, I'll show you what true power is!"
The eight wings behind Qian Jue suddenly beat, and his entire body transformed into a streak of black lightning, instantly ripping through Chen Hai's ocean domain and lunging straight at his face.
"Arrogant!"
Chen Hai roared, forcefully suppressing the shock in his heart as the Sea God Helmet above his head erupted with dazzling blue light.
He gripped the newly condensed Sea God Spear with both hands and smashed it down fiercely at Qian Jue's demonic sword.
Sea God's Wrath · Storm-Piercing Cloud Thrust!
"Clang—!!!"
The demonic sword and spear collided violently in midair, erupting with an ear-splitting metallic clash.
A terrifying shockwave visible to the naked eye spread madly outward from the two of them. Wherever it passed, space collapsed inch by inch, exposing vast black fissures in the void.
Inside the cave below, Huo Yuhao and the others, who had only just fled a short distance, were swept by the aftershock. They groaned and nearly fell to the ground.
They looked up at the sky in horror, only to see black and blue streaks of light colliding wildly among the clouds. Every clash seemed capable of tearing apart heaven and earth.
"Is... is this a battle at the Ultimate Douluo level?" Huo Yuhao swallowed hard, his scalp tingling.
After merely one probing exchange, Chen Hai completely cast aside the contempt in his heart.
This heretic was far stronger than he had imagined! That bizarre dark power could even faintly suppress Sea God's divine power.
However, he, Chen Hai, was stronger!
For Sea God's glory, I absolutely cannot lose this battle! Chen Hai roared madly within his heart, his fanatical faith transforming into tangible battle intent.
Without the slightest hesitation, the seventh soul ring beneath Chen Hai's feet, crimson as blood, suddenly lit up and erupted with blinding red light.
Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar!
Seeing Chen Hai finally get serious, the smile on Qian Jue's lips grew even wider, and bloodthirsty excitement flickered in his eyes.
"Good!"
Beneath Qian Jue's feet, an equally profound hundred-thousand-year red soul ring suddenly lit up.
Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar!
At the same moment, two completely different yet equally world-destroying powers erupted high in the sky.
In an instant, the sky above the entire continent seemed to be forcibly torn apart and dyed in two sharply contrasting colors.
One half was boundless, profound black. Within the darkness stood the proud phantom of a Fallen Angel with eight enormous black wings, radiating a destructive aura that seemed capable of devouring everything.
The other half was clear, vast azure. Amid the waves, a solemn and sacred phantom holding a trident flickered in and out of sight, as though Sea God himself had descended.
Black and blue, two ultimate powers collided and crushed against each other wildly above the heavens, shredding the clouds to pieces.
This heavenly phenomenon instantly alarmed every living being within thousands of miles.
Countless passing soul masters, ordinary people, and even old monsters living in seclusion all raised their heads in horror, gazing up at the scene as though witnessing a miracle.
As they watched the Fallen Angel and Sea God phantoms facing off, many soul masters well versed in history could not help recalling a legendary scene from ten thousand years ago.
During the Battle of Jialing Pass ten thousand years ago, Sea God Tang San had fought Spirit Hall's Angel God and Rakshasa God!
And now, ten thousand years later, this scene resembling a battle between gods had actually appeared once more in the world!
