"Oh? Interesting!"
Bei Miao's eyes flashed brilliantly at this moment, holding the Meteor Spear on one shoulder as he watched Bo Saixi's transformation with keen interest.
Following the descent of that divine light, Bo Saixi's momentum began to undergo earth-shattering changes.
Bo Saixi cast off her previous decadent appearance, her body slowly floating midair as a cascade of blue hair flowed loose and her eyes radiated blue light.
Not only that, her momentum became even more formidable than before. If she had previously been someone who briefly forced her realm to elevate by borrowing divine power, she was now infinitely close to the absolute peak: a God.
With a wave of her hand, a beam of blue light emanated from the collapsed Sea God Hall, and the Sea God Trident landed in her grasp.
"You must be Poseidon, right?"
Bei Miao looked at Bo Saixi's drastic change, sensing the unusual aura radiating from her, and immediately chuckled.
"You finally lured this fellow out. How are we playing this?"
Bei Miao linked minds with Bei Mingyuan.
"Buy some time for a moment. I'm heading over right now, and we'll unleash our ultimate moves!"
Bei Mingyuan's tone was exceptionally excited as well. He had finally reaped some gains, and he intended to deal with these Gods one by one.
"Remember, don't beat her to death; she's still useful!"
"Got it!"
Bei Miao picked at his ear, looking impatiently at Bo Saixi. "Poseidon, you dare come down after seeing our Northern Underworld Empire? Have you no fear of death, huh?"
"Insignificant mortal, how dare you invade the sanctuary beneath my seat! Court death!"
"Bo Saixi's" gaze turned incomparably cold, an angry roar escaping her lips as her spearhead pointed directly at Bei Miao.
Her greatest fear was the Northern Underworld Empire, and being taunted by an unknown minor character was naturally more than she could stomach.
"Perish!"
With those words, the Trident in her hand danced lightly, and the surrounding seawater behaved as if it possessed consciousness, transforming into drop after drop of miraculous water droplets that launched toward Bei Miao.
Do not look down on these water droplets for being exceptionally tiny; their lethality was astonishing, capable of easily piercing through steel and shattering the defenses of ten-thousand-year soul beasts as effortlessly as drinking water.
Right now, there were thousands upon thousands of such water droplets. The moment Poseidon struck, it was a fatal blow.
This was not merely targeted at Bei Miao; he intended to annihilate the vanguard fleet of the Northern Underworld Continent along with him.
"Hehe, hahahaha!"
Facing such tricky tactics, Bei Miao showed no fear whatsoever, bursting into sudden laughter instead.
"Hah, have you gone mad from witnessing the true might of the Sea God?"
"Bo Saixi" let out a disdainful, cold snort. "Ultimately, you are just a mortal-vulnerable after all."
"I ask you, who gave you permission to play with water in front of me?"
At that moment, having laughed his fill, Bei Miao's expression abruptly turned cold. The very second he uttered those words, every single water droplet froze in place, as if someone had pressed the pause button.
"!"
"Bo Saixi's" eyes widened in sudden astonishment. She certainly had not made this water stop-meaning the opponent's power was manipulating the water!
"This is impossible! No one can surpass me in manipulating water, not even the God of Water!"
As soon as those words left her mouth, the God of Water in the Divine Realm could no longer keep her composure.
Logically speaking, she commanded all waters, and her strength should definitely be greater than Poseidon's; yet it was precisely because the other party had seized a portion of her authority that she had ended up in this state.
If the Divine Realm didn't forbid private brawls, she probably really would have sought out Poseidon to demand an explanation.
"The God of Water? What is the God of Water supposed to be!"
Bei Miao let out a dismissive, cold snort. "In front of me, whether you're the Sea God or the God of Water, all of you will crawl on your bellies!"
"When I was wielding the power to control water, you, Poseidon, weren't even born yet!"
With that, Bei Miao swung the Meteor Spear, and the countless water droplets in the sky instantly retraced their path: "Return them to you!"
"Arrogant! Utterly arrogant!"
"Bo Saixi" burst forth with dazzling divine light in her rage, wildly brandishing the Trident in her hand as countless currents of water transformed into a gigantic Sea God Phantom that roared at the surrounding area.
"Heh, as if nobody else can do that!"
With the opponent's strength amplified by Poseidon to surpass a demigod and reach true divine rank, Bei Miao no longer cared to hold back.
"Martial Soul Avatar! Black Rhino Armor, upgrade!"
Accompanied by Bei Miao's roar, his Black Rhinoceros martial soul manifested, and a full nine black-gold soul rings slowly rose into the air.
Gazing at these black-gold soul rings, the people of Douluo Continent watching the bullet comments were completely dumbfounded, for they had never laid eyes on such soul rings before.
[Douluo Continent - Ning Rongrong: What kind of soul ring is this? Is it a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring? But why is it black-gold?]
[Douluo Continent - Yu Xiaogang: How can this be? Why are all nine of his soul rings ten thousand years old?!
No, this is impossible! No one in this world possesses such power!]
Inside Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang, who had just recovered, spat out another mouthful of dark blood the instant he caught sight of Bei Miao's soul rings.
"Xiao Gang!"
Liu Erlong looked at Yu Xiaogang in panic, his complexion deathly pale and his expression resembling that of someone on the verge of breathing his last.
"Xiao Gang, you mustn't get angry again, or you'll endanger your life!"
Flender looked at him with utmost solemnity. "Isn't it just your theories being overturned? Can't we just formulate new ones? You are the Grandmaster!"
"That's right!"
Liu Erlong chimed in as well. "It's just theory; innovations always happen. You don't need to dwell on it so much."
"Get lost!"
Clutching his chest, Yu Xiaogang angrily chased the two out of the room and slammed the door shut heavily.
Flender and Liu Erlong exchanged glances and shook their heads helplessly. Matters like this could only be figured out by himself; no amount of persuasion from others would work.
Inside the room, Yu Xiaogang trembling staggered back to his chair and fell into deep contemplation with closed eyes.
The Northern Underworld Empire had shattered his perceptions time and time again. Originally, he had assumed this Bei Miao merely possessed the power of armor while his true body was unimpressive.
Yet moments later, he had slapped himself hard in the face-not only was the opponent a Titled Douluo, but an exceptionally powerful Titled Douluo at that.
He had never even laid eyes on the soul rings the man bore. They weren't hundred-year, thousand-year, or ten-thousand-year, let alone hundred-thousand-year.
"Damned Northern Underworld Empire!"
Yu Xiaogang clenched his fist, striking the desk fiercely. "Making a fool of me time and time again-I am irreconcilable with you!"
Watching the scrolling bullet comments across the sky, Yu Xiaogang burned with frustration, yet his mind continued racing with thoughts.
Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck him.
"Erlong is right. It's time for some innovation!"
A smile hooked the corners of Yu Xiaogang's mouth. He would sneak into the Northern Underworld Continent and acquire their Soul Tool data!
The Northern Underworld Empire would never hand Soul Tool technology over to Douluo Continent now, but if he managed to get his hands on it, he could claim it as his own original creation.
"When that happens, even if the Northern Underworld Empire makes trouble, the people of Douluo Continent will defend me!"
"Hahahahaha!"
