Chen Xinjie: Huo Yuhao, I Cannot Live Under the Same Sky as You! (4,000 words)

Above Sea God Lake, it seemed as if two Small World were violently colliding!

At this moment, Chen Xinjie had already put on the Sea God Helmet. The azure divine Divine Power on his body, as turbulent as the deep sea, clashed fiercely with the darkness of Di Tian, which seemed capable of swallowing light.

There was no earth-shattering roar, only a deep, heart-stopping hum, and the agonizing groans of space being squeezed and distorted by two forces.

At one moment, Di Tian raised an eyebrow, sensing that the force was not right. He suddenly exerted force with his palm, and the darkness at the edge of his palm, like the sharpest blade, suddenly cut into that blue divine Divine Power.

The "Chen Xinjie" before my eyes suddenly collapsed, turning into a sky full of azure water!

Divine Skill - Sea God Clone.

One of the Sea God Inheritance Divine Skill inherited from the Sea God Divine Spark, which Chen Xinjie learned from the fragments of the Sea God's divine essence, is composed of pure water elements. It can be quickly formed before the enemy can react and can be used as a substitute. If combined with Divine Power and Divine Consciousness, even Divine Consciousness will have difficulty distinguishing the real from the fake at first, let alone Spiritual Consciousness.

Even Di Tian was initially misled; had the force applied to him been different, he wouldn't have noticed.

The real danger came from behind him.

The Sea God Lake silently cracked open, and a condensed, azure divine light, like a venomous dragon emerging from its Ultimate, pierced straight into the heart of Di Tian.

"Snort!"

Di Tian snorted coldly, without turning his head, and with a backhand grab, his five fingers Entanglement around the all-devouring black hole, he fiercely pinched the divine light!

"Sizzle--!"

The black hole and divine light collided violently and annihilated.

The shockwave spread out suddenly in a ring, and wherever it passed, the still-unsettled lake surface was pressed into a huge crater, with countless spatial cracks, from which azure divine Divine Power and pitch-black Soul Power seemed to flow, disappearing without a trace.

In a direct confrontation with Di Tian, Chen Xinjie, who had gained the upper hand, was instead forced to retreat several steps.

Di Tian frowned as he watched this scene, somewhat surprised.

It's no wonder he found it strange; Chen Xinjie gave him a very off feeling. He had clearly reached the God Rank, but after a few all-out attacks, he seemed to deflate, his strength completely inferior to Yun Ming's.

Was it because the opponent's clone diverted some of its power to maintain realism, causing the attack to weaken? Or did Chen Xinjie's trump card, which was temporarily upgraded to God Rank, have side effects, causing it to falter so quickly?

Di Heaven's Heart some doubts, but his hands didn't stop moving, and he kept talking, trying to test Chen Xinjie.

"Some people once said that you and Yun Ming were evenly matched, but now it seems that's an overstatement."

"Yun Ming has already achieved Half Divine Position, surpassing me, and is naturally stronger than me. Moreover, I lack Shrek's resources, so it seems I have disappointed Di Tian."

As Chen Xinjie answered indifferently, he quietly retreated, not continuing to fight Di Tian, but he breathed a sigh of relief.

As expected, his un-elevated Spiritual Consciousness couldn't detect my actions; at most, he was somewhat confused.

Taking advantage of the brief moment, he glanced at the relentless Ha Luosa behind him, Dong Zi'an who had to retreat due to the aftermath of the God Rank battle, and several other auras that had arrived. The Four-Word Battle Armor of the Vast Sea Cosmos on his body began to burn, completely different from his previous appearance.

Now that you've made your choice, there's no need to hold back.

In Di Tian's perception, Chen Xinjie's previously weakened aura had become stronger again, but it was still different from his previous True God realm.

"He was willing to risk his life just to leave?"

On the other side, Yu Guanzhi, who had just arrived with Huo Yuhao, changed his expression.

They could all see clearly what Chen Xinjie was going through; he wasn't just burning his Four-Word Battle Armor, he was clearly burning his life force.

Even if Chen Xinjie manages to escape by doing this, he'll likely lose half his life.

Huo Yuhao withdrew his gaze from Underworld King Douluo beside him and looked Chen Xinjie up and down, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Your Divine Brush Crown, you said Chen Xinjie collected Long Yeyue's body. Where is his Storage Soul Tool?"

"His Storage Soul Tool is a ring on his right hand. He's probably put it away now, worried it might get damaged in battle, right?"

Yu Guanzhi snapped out of his reverie, somewhat puzzled by Huo Yuhao's question, but still answered.

For Limit Douluo, hiding items inside their body using Power of Space is not difficult.

"Really? It seems he cherishes the ring quite a bit. But after all this fighting, this Vast Sea Douluo hasn't even revealed his Soul Ring. Facing Di Tian, he's still so confident in his strength. That's really strange."

Huo Yuhao gently shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Yu Guanzhi noticed that Chen Xinjie didn't have a single Soul Ring around him. This had happened before when they fought, but at the time it didn't seem strange to him.

By the time a Soul Master reaches the Limit Douluo, their reliance on Soul Ring is minimal; who hasn't created their own Soul Skill and comprehended the Laws of nature?

You can still fight without Soul Ring.

Not to mention that Chen Xinjie was already stronger than them, so not using Soul Ring wouldn't be a problem. But even with a small boost from Soul Ring, in a battle against Di Tian, Martial Soul Avatar would still be somewhat useful, Yun Ming had already demonstrated. But Chen Xinjie didn't even reveal his Soul Ring; what's wrong with him?

Yu Guanzhi pondered, "I've heard that the Clear Sky Sect has a secret technique called 'Ring Detonation.' Could his previous strength, comparable to True God, have involved a similar technique?"

Huo Yuhao glanced at him silently, offered no reply, and walked straight toward the battlefield.

That's true. Given a lack of understanding of the Divine Origin Realm, it's impossible to think of such a thing immediately; it's not surprising that they would think of other things.

When Gu Yuena and Snow Empress heard about Huo Yuhao's problem, they knew that something might have gone wrong, and their expressions darkened. They stepped forward and surrounded Chen Xinjie.

At the edge of the battlefield, Hades Douluo Harosa, who was about to seize an opportunity, paused in his actions upon seeing Huo Yuhao appear.

After a moment's thought, to avoid interfering with the battle, he chose to retreat.

However, Ha Luosa's gaze did not leave Huo Yuhao.

This person, who was said to be the reincarnation of the Fire God, had given him a strange feeling before, making him unable to help but pay attention to him.

Chen Xinjie looked around. Di Tian was in front of him, Huo Yuhao, Gu Yuena, and Snow Empress blocked his way, Yu Guanzhi and others were watching him intently, and in the distance, there was also a powerful figure like Ha Luosa lurking. The azure flames on his body flickered slightly, like a candle in the wind.

Beneath his Sea God Helmet, a slightly tired but still calm face was revealed. His gaze swept over the crowd, lingering most on Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena.

A long, lonely sigh escaped into the surging lake breeze and the lingering aftershocks of energy.

"It's fate, it's destiny. Huo Yuhao, Gu Yuena —you two are both deities from the Divine Realm, aren't you? Now that we're in such a desperate situation, it seems I can't escape."

Hearing this, Dong Zi'an, whose attention was mostly on Chen Xinjie, turned his gaze to Gu Yuena and looked excited.

That's right, I overlooked this one before. Huo Yuhao isn't the only young person who came to Shrek City today. Gu Yuena is also here, and she has a close relationship with Huo Yuhao.

If Huo Yuhao is the reincarnation of the God of Fire God, then the identity of this girl who controls the elements is probably no ordinary one either. With two beings who seem to be gods present at the same time, and even with the Beast God Di Tian — Chen Xinjie —possessing extraordinary abilities, he is indeed in dire straits.

"Desperate situation? Unable to escape? I didn't expect the Vast Sea Douluo to have such excellent acting skills."

After Huo Yuhao finished speaking indifferently, Spiritual Shock mainly composed of Divine Consciousness rushed towards Chen Xinjie in front of him.

Chen Xinjie cared a lot about the word "acting," but he didn't lose his composure because of it. Seeing Huo Yuhao suddenly launch an attack, he directly used his azure divine Divine Power to weaken and neutralize the attack.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao was completely certain of his guess and said coldly, "Why use Divine Power to resist Divine Consciousness? Hasn't your Divine Power already reached the Divine Origin Realm? You shouldn't have any problem with withstanding it, right?"

When one is weak, Divine Power can completely bypass Soul Power and attack the Spiritual Sea. However, when a soul master's strength reaches a certain level, it is naturally feasible to use Soul Power to resist or weaken mental attacks.

Di Tian and Yun Ming didn't do that before because they were confident that their Spiritual Sea wouldn't be damaged by the opponent's mental attack.

Chen Xinjie could have done the same, but he didn't. Why?

Is it that they don't want to, or that they can't?

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's question, Chen Xinjie's expression changed drastically. He only relaxed when he saw the surrounding space gradually calming down, and exclaimed, "As expected of a reincarnation of a god from the Divine Realm, my little tricks are no match for you."

"But this also proves that my choice to break through in the direction of His Di Tian was correct. If I had met you earlier, I wouldn't have had a single chance of survival."

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Di Tian's eyes, but he remained silent, for with his experience, he already knew that he had indeed been tricked!

Because of the difference between Divine Consciousness and Spiritual Consciousness, he didn't have the awareness to immediately think of that possibility.

However, not everyone understood what Chen Xinjie had done, so facing the questioning gazes of the Federation's powerful figures, Huo Yuhao explained, "There is a fundamental difference between Divine Consciousness and Spiritual Consciousness. The former can be separated, and the separated Divine Consciousness can exist independently and possess its own consciousness!"

"He severed his Divine Consciousness, leaving only the necessary portion to maintain this body in battle; the rest of his Divine Consciousness was transported away through the spatial rift created during his battle with Di Tian!"

This is the same principle as the Divine Consciousness left by the Sea God for Tang Wulin and the Divine Consciousness left by the Snow Empress for him. The difference is that the Divine Consciousness in Chen Xinjie's body is no longer the main body, but a small part that has been divided.

Upon hearing this, Yu Guanzhi distance away, fully understood the situation, and his face darkened.

"You have real guts to burn your boats and cut your losses to survive!"

"If it weren't for the Divine Brush telling me about the God of Fire God, I wouldn't have made this decision. The pressure from everyone was too great. If it were only Di Tian Majesty Emperor Tian, I might have been able to escape unscathed."

Chen Xinjie's voice was bitter, "But when I heard that Lord Huo Yuhao was the Fire God, I thought of the possibility that Gu Yuena was also a deity. With two deities reincarnated here, I can't just leave everything to luck. I can't gamble that you haven't recovered your strength, or that you'll let me leave."

The brilliant wisdom ultimately backfired, making things worse.

While everyone was talking, Di Tian was mentally reviewing his brief encounter with Chen Xinjie, and combining it with Huo Yuhao's words, he came to the key point.

It's that "Sea God Clone"!

What is true may be false, and what is false may be true.

When he thought the clone was fake, it was actually real, containing Chen Xinjie's main Divine Consciousness!

After the "Sea God Clone" was dispersed, that part of the main Divine Consciousness did not act rashly. Instead, while it was fighting Chen Xinjie in front of it, it naturally followed the Divine Power and fell into the spatial rift formed by their battle, thus escaping from here.

The teleportation through the spatial rift is random; no one knows where that part of the Divine Consciousness will be transported to, not even Chen Xinjie himself. If it lands nearby, that's fine; but if it's farther away—there's no chance of catching up.

The only chance to catch up was the moment the rift formed. Di Tian himself didn't resist the spatial turbulence and went in with the other party. Just like the Fire Host Clan who came to the Douluo Continent, they were all drawn into the same spatial rift and ended up here.

However, Chen Xinjie clearly understood this. He used his remaining Divine Consciousness to control his body and immediately launched an attack to avoid being detected. If that opportunity was missed, and the space was further disrupted by their battle, or even repaired by the plane, it would naturally be impossible to find it.

No wonder Chen Xinjie's strength was inconsistent before and after. Without his main divine Divine Consciousness, his essence, Essence, Energy, and Spirit, and spirit were lacking, so he was no longer True God. Moreover, the reason he came to me was probably because he had a way to use Divine Skill to conceal his Divine Consciousness aura in front of Spiritual Consciousness.

If he were facing Huo Yuhao —or even Snow Empress —he probably wouldn't have been able to leave so easily.

Divine Consciousness!

When Di Tian thought of those two words, he felt somewhat helpless; after all, he wasn't a true god.

"This was my mistake."

Upon hearing Di Tian's telepathic message, Huo Yuhao shook his head, "Even if Divine Consciousness travel far, fellow deities might not be able to detect it. You don't need to worry about it."

Even though the Abyssal Sage King was dead, he was still able to attach a portion of his Divine Consciousness to Bai Xiuxiu right under Ah Yin and Tang Hao's noses without being detected. Later, among the many powerful figures Bai Xiuxiu came into contact with, there were many True God, and even First Rank God, but no one discovered the Abyssal Sage King's Divine Consciousness, which shows the ability of Divine Consciousness to be hidden and concealed.

Besides, even though the main Divine Consciousness fled, didn't Di Tian retain his body and a portion of his Divine Consciousness?

Huo Yuhao looked at Chen Xinjie, sending a chill down the latter's spine.

"..--"

Chen Xinjie remained silent for a moment, then said, "Could you please tell me at the end where I made a mistake?"

Huo Yuhao smiled coolly, "I'll tell you after I capture your main Divine Consciousness in the future."

As soon as she finished speaking, the Snow Empress's face turned icy cold, Ice Pole Divine Crystal Sword appeared in her hand. She slashed down with the sword.

Emperor Sword - Ice Ultimate Supremacy.

Ultimate chill instantly sealed off space and time; wherever the crystalline sword light passed, even the moisture in the air and the dissipated Divine Power froze into ice crystals.

At the same time, Di Tian attacked in anger, letting out a soul-shaking dragon roar as black dragon flames descended from the sky.

Gu Yuena was not to be outdone. Combining Divine Consciousness and Elemental Power, the Silver Dragon Spear shimmered with seven-colored light as it thrust out fiercely.

Huo Yuhao, wielding the Heaven-Burning Divine Pestle, unleashed rings of light, arriving first despite being behind. Before that, his words, accompanied by his Divine Power, swiftly reached Chen Xinjie's ears.

"I can roughly guess your situation. You probably used a fragment of the Sea God Divine Spark God Rank to advance to godhood, right?"

I sensed that aura. The decline in strength, besides the departure of the main Divine Consciousness, is likely due to the main Divine Consciousness taking all the Divinity Fragment with it.

"That's why you had to resort to burning your Life to gain Divine Power and Divine Body to compensate for your combat strength, trying to cover up the fact that your Divine Consciousness had left. After all, Di Tian wouldn't compete with you in Divine Power when you possess Divine Consciousness."

"Even if you lose your body, you must send away the Divinity Fragment. Is it simply to repair it, or to become the Sea God? I don't know, but I can tell you, you can't do it, because some of the Divinity Fragment have already been destroyed by me. And this technique is Divine Skill I comprehended from those destroyed Divinity Fragment!"

"Undulating Storm!"

A series of halos fell upon Chen Xinjie, causing him to freeze in place and come to an abrupt halt.

Huo Yuhao's words, and this Divine Skill that clearly originated from the Sea God Inheritance, caused Chen Xinjie's remaining Divine Consciousness and soul to tremble violently, almost collapsing on the spot.

"No—no, how could this happen?! Why did you do this?!"

Chen Xinjie's remaining Divine Consciousness emitted a shriek like that of a dying beast, mixed with unparalleled shock, bewilderment, and deep-seated pain and despair.

The fragments of the Sea God Divine Spark —destroyed? Or by this reincarnation of the Fire God before us?

The fragments of the Sea God Divine Spark are so precious, why would anyone do this?

Doesn't this mean he'll never be able to gather all the Divinity Fragment, repair his Divine Position, or even resurrect his beloved?

The thought filled Chen Xinjie with excruciating pain. Before being overwhelmed by the attacks without any defense, he let out a final roar, "Fire God — Huo Yuhao, I will never forgive you!!!"

However, no one responded; Huo Yuhao watched coldly from the sidelines.

Di Tian's Ten Thousand Dragon Flames devoured all the azure divine Divine Power; Gu Yuena's Silver Dragon Spear, carrying a torrent of seven-colored elements, precisely pierced through the weakest point of his Divine Power defense and attacked his Spiritual Sea; Snow Empress's sword energy froze the last bit of vitality in his body and the fluctuations of his Divine Consciousness.

"Boom-!!!"

An energy storm exploded above Sea God Lake.

Seeing the explosion, Xiong Jun, who was watching from a distance, swallowed hard, thinking of Long Yeyue from the past.

How similar is the fate of Chen Xinjie now to that of Long Yeyue, who broke into the Spirit Pagoda in the past? The only difference is that the lineup besieging Chen Xinjie is much more terrifying.

No wonder he's my "lover"! We've been through thick and thin together!
