The Seven Devils' God Trials Backfire! How Is Longcang Stronger Than Us? Ma Hongjun: They Still Have No God, Do They? Sea God Above!

More terrifying still, the Sea God's bestowed light, which had lingered within Bo Saixi for decades, was forcibly stripped away by the laws of the Heavenly Dao!

Her skin, once translucent as flawless jade, rapidly shriveled and aged!

Her azure hair, radiant as the waves of the deep sea, withered completely within three breaths, turning into a lifeless mass of dull gray-white hair!

What chilled every titled powerhouse beneath the heavens even more was her demigod soul power, which had already touched the threshold of a divine official. It violently collapsed like floodwaters bursting through opened gates!

Level 99 peak Peerless Douluo...

Level 98...

Level 97!

Her level plunged relentlessly, every meridian in her body snapping. Only when she reached the threshold of Level 97 did the raging divine lightning slowly subside!

Pffft-!

Bo Saixi threw back her head and violently spat out a great mouthful of black blood, her entire body like a tattered sack with its wings broken.

She plummeted from a thousand-zhang height and slammed into the stone steps before the Sea God Hall!

The impact shattered three tiers of stone platforms!

Her divine body was utterly destroyed!

She had fallen completely from the demigod realm!

The figure now lying in that pool of blood was no longer the lofty ocean goddess who had patrolled the mortal world on her god's behalf.

She was a gray-haired Level 97 woman with a haggard, aged face and a feeble aura!

The seven Sacred Pillar Douluos collapsed to their knees. As they stared at the decrepit High Priestess amid the ruins, their Dao Hearts were reduced to scorched earth!

Crack-! Crack-!

Before the people of Sea God Island could recover from the shock of their High Priestess falling from her divine pedestal, the earth veins beneath the entire island shuddered violently!

The seven great Sea God Sacred Pillars towering around the island let out shrill wails at the same instant.

Their blue-gold divine radiance, which had once spanned heaven and earth, abruptly dispersed. Spiderweb cracks spread madly from the bases of the pillars to their tops.

The protective laws exploded, scattering dim fragments of light across the sky!

"Pffft!!"

Sea Dragon Douluo, Sea Horse Douluo, and the other five Sacred Pillar Guardians felt as though a mighty hammer from the highest heavens had smashed through their chests!

They all spat out their heart's blood and collapsed to their knees upon the charred ruins, forced to watch their ten-thousand-year sacred land become broken walls and rubble!

On the Sea God Steps below, the Shrek group, still undergoing the baptism of their God Trials, could not escape either!

The once-radiant, sacred light of the Sea God Inheritance on Tang San's forehead!

At that instant, it abruptly took on an eerie black-red bloody glow, twisting violently and flickering erratically!

"Aaaah-!!"

Tang San let out an agonized scream as the Sea God's Light enveloping him melted like ice and snow, surging back into him in a vicious backlash.

Uncontrolled gravity and the baleful energy of the God Trial overwhelmed him in an instant. The savage impact hurled his entire body backward!

Blood gushed from his mouth and nose as he tumbled down dozens of bloodstained stone steps, collapsing between the stones with a face as pale as gold paper!

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others were likewise shaken until blood seeped from all seven orifices. They fell limply to the ground, nothing but endless terror and bewilderment remaining in their eyes.

The entire Sea God Island, so insufferably arrogant moments before... was left ravaged beneath the Sky Screen's judgment and the Dao-destroying divine lightning!

A Level 99 peerless demigod had been forcibly cut down to Level 97!

In the Divine Realm, Poseidon's main-god Divine Core had been split apart by a direct strike. He had been reduced to a Second-Level God and barred from receiving faith for a hundred years!

This succession of bloody judgments from the highest heavens had not merely shattered the sacred halo of Sea God Island's ten-thousand-year legacy on the spot!

It had also branded the bloody words "buffoon" and "fraud who deceives the world" firmly onto the Sea God's entire lineage!

Yet-

Before the Shrek Seven Devils, bleeding from all seven orifices on the stone steps, could regain their senses.

The public comment section of the Sky Screen Livestream Room, after half a breath of utter, suffocating silence.

Finally erupted into the wildest, most merciless torrent since the broadcast had begun!

Boom!

The comments instantly scrolled faster than divine sense could track!

Colored text surged like a tsunami breaking through a dam, flooding the entire image across the heavens!

The first to open fire was none other than the Sun Moon Empire faction, whose achievements the Douluo natives had always dismissed as "ingenious but frivolous tricks"!

[Sun Moon Empire · Hall Master of Virtuous Hall: Hahahaha! You're killing this old man with laughter! This is the Sea God's sacred land that claimed to 'stand above the continent'?! This?!]

[Sun Moon Empire · Dean of the Imperial Soul Tool Academy: Pfft-! An insignificant ascender who rose on borrowed faith ten thousand years ago? Hahahaha! The Sky Screen really knows how to twist the knife!

I thought he must have some tremendous ability, daring to call the entire ocean his backyard. Turns out he was just squatting on an island and calling himself king!]

Spirit Hall, which had always been at odds with Sea God Island, followed close behind!

[Spirit Hall · Bibi Dong: A buffoon bringing humiliation upon himself. Holed up overseas for ten thousand years, neglecting enlightenment while scheming to steal the continent's highest position. How laughable. The Heavenly Dao sees all; demotion and removal are the rightful punishment for deceiving heaven and earth!]

Once the Pope spoke, the sect masters of the Lower Four Sects, who had long since aligned themselves with Spirit Hall.

Immediately began barking like hyenas in the comments, scrambling over one another for fear of falling behind!

[Elephant Armor Sect · Huyan Zhen: His Holiness the Pope is wise indeed! These reclusive sea loaches always had their noses in the air, pretending to be above everyone else. Did they really think their family owned the ocean?!]

[Wind Sword Sect · Sect Master: Sect Master Huyan is absolutely right! The Sky Screen sees clearly! What does Sea God Island amount to? It deserves to become a subordinate offshore island!]

Inside the Worship Hall, Great Enshrined Qian Daoliu stood before the angel statue, his body rigid and his dignified face twitching several times.

Back then, he and Tang Chen had crossed the ocean to visit Sea God Island,

And he had been deeply captivated by that blue-haired goddess standing between sea and sky. He had even regarded her as the romantic longing he could never lay to rest.

But now...

Watching that shriveled figure curled up in a pool of blood within the water-mirror projection, Qian Daoliu could not stop his stomach from convulsing.

What sent an even colder chill down his spine was the upheaval in the Divine Realm!

Poseidon, a First-Level Main God... had his Divine Core shattered and been beaten down to a Second-Level God merely because his disciples' wild words had angered the Heavenly Dao!

Qian Daoliu instinctively tightened his grip on the Angel Holy Sword at his waist, his palm soaked in cold sweat.

There was a trace of schadenfreude in his heart, along with relief that the Sky Screen had not deigned to hold his own behavior against him;

But far stronger was a dreadful terror, like the fox mourning the rabbit's death!

This Sky Screen... truly dared to slay gods!

The Clear Sky Sect's great hall deep in the mountains.

"S-Sect Master..."

The second elder wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his voice trembling like grain in a sieve:

"Ancestor Tang Chen... back then... that Bo Saixi he yearned for, the woman for whom he even swore he would 'never return without becoming a god'...

"She... she's been reduced to this?!"

"And even Lord Sea God has been beaten into a worthless Second-Level God?!"

Since Tang San had already acknowledged his family ties and gone to Sea God Island for his trials, the Clear Sky Sect still held some respect for the Sea God.

At the head of the hall, Sect Master Tang Xiao sprang from his seat.

The heavy Clear Sky Hammer landed on his foot with a clang, but he could not even spare the attention to cry out in pain!

Tang Xiao's entire face turned paper-white, the veins bulging along his neck!

In the blink of an eye, Sea God Island had become the entire plane's prime example of being struck down by heaven's thunder!

If everyone on the continent learned that the Clear Sky Sect's former sect master, Tang Chen, had an ambiguous romantic connection with that "sinful island"!

What if the Sky Screen followed that thread of karma and sent a lightning bolt crashing down on the Clear Sky Sect?!

Meanwhile.

Across the vast ocean, in the great hall of the Longcang Imperial Capital.

Within the water mirror, the frenzied comment carnival of the Douluo Continent's major factions, like mad dogs biting mad dogs, appeared before Longcang's ministers without a single word missing.

"Hahahaha! Oh, damn, I'm laughing so hard my teeth are going to fall out!"

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King pounded a pillar in the hall, rocking back and forth with laughter. Two tears even shot from the corners of his eyes:

"Bo Saixi, oh, Bo Saixi! So this day finally came for you, you old hag?!"

"Back then, you relied on Poseidon, that petty thief stealing offerings, to put on airs in the ocean and send those stupid sharks swaggering around!

"Look at you now! His Divine Core has been demoted to a Second-Level God's, and you've been beaten back down to Level 97,

"Even those mud-legged peasants on land are riding on your head, shitting and pissing all over you!"

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King turned and dropped heavily to one knee before Ye Canghai on the Dragon Throne, his eyes burning with fervor:

"Your Majesty's divine might is unmatched! Before the true Great Dao, these buffoons playing at gods truly aren't even worthy of serving as sacrifices!"

Upon the Dragon Throne.

Ye Canghai glanced sideways at the farcical spectacle in the comments, where the various factions frantically tore at one another and trampled Sea God Island to protect themselves.

A cold smile rested on his lips. "Those who deceive heaven shall ever face heaven's wrath."

He sipped his tea, the starry heavens reflected in the depths of his slightly lowered eyes:

"Sea God Poseidon's greatest folly wasn't weakness. Poseidon was too arrogant, indulging his subordinates as they ran wild.

"Now his divine pedestal has collapsed, and vicious dogs are devouring their master. It is merely the cycle of cause and effect."

Ye Canghai slowly set down his teacup. His gaze crossed the endless void and settled upon the next crimson-gold divine pillar, which was about to be revealed:

"It's time this farce ended."

"Sky Screen... it's also time to show them what truly deserves to be called 'supreme' beneath this starry sky."

"San... San, how are you?!"

Dai Mubai rushed over with blood covering his face, trembling as he tried to help Tang San up.

Beside him, Oscar scrambled and crawled, muttering incoherently as he produced bloodstained recovery Big Sausages and stuffed them into everyone's mouths.

Yet no matter how many sausages went down their throats, the agonizing pain within their bodies did not ease in the slightest.

Despair.

An unprecedented despair weighed heavily upon every one of them.

Yet-

Amid the deathly silent ruins, where only labored groans echoed!

An utterly abrupt roar, filled with fury, suddenly exploded above the stone steps!

"Bullshit! This is all fucking bullshit!!"

Ma Hongjun of the Evil Fire Phoenix staggered as he struggled up from a heap of broken stones.

His already round, fat face was now swollen like a purple-black steamed bun! The flesh on his back had peeled and curled, burning fiercely.

But his physical injuries could not begin to compare with the evil fire and pent-up resentment raging in his heart, as though he had fallen into cultivation madness!

"Fatty! Shut up! Sit down and circulate your power!" Dai Mubai's heart lurched, and he hurriedly shouted at him to stop.

But Ma Hongjun seemed to have gone utterly mad. He slapped away the sausage Oscar offered,

Then pointed at the Sky Screen still hanging in the heavens and cursed, his eyes blood-red:

"I won't accept this! Why?! What gives this damned Sky Screen the right to pass that judgment?!"

Coughing violently, Ma Hongjun spat a large mouthful of bloody froth onto the ground:

"Where exactly... is that Longcang Continent stronger than us?! Huh?!"

"Because of their piles of soul tools? Because of those battleships built by mortals that don't even use soul power?!"

Ma Hongjun clenched his fists, worked up to the utmost:

"Those are external things! Every last one is a cheap shortcut, a petty path relying on external things!

"Soul Masters have cultivated for ten thousand years, relying on their own martial souls, on soul rings and soul skills that seize the fortune of heaven and earth!

"No matter how many cannons they build or how high they fly, strip off that iron armor, and what fucking kind of powerhouses are they?!"

"And most importantly-do they have a god?!"
