The Giant Crocodile Devoured a Million Deep-Sea Beasts! War Declared on the Douluo Continent!

Boom!

Mu Tianji suddenly stepped forward and dropped to one knee, the phantom of a Radiant Sacred Dragon hovering behind him!

The pure, flawless sacred dragon's divine might surrounding him solidified into platinum flames!

Nine Divine Rings radiating supreme laws pulsed with a metallic clang, illuminating the entire Worship Hall like a deity's realm!

An icy gleam flashed in the old man's eyes. He cupped his fists and thundered, his voice shaking the nine heavens and ten earths:

"Your Majesty! A mere madwoman of the lower realm, clinging to the Sea God's incomplete projection and reduced to level 97 by Divine Punishment-how dare she speak presumptuously of the supreme sovereign on the Sky Screen?!"

"I, Mu Tianji, request permission to fight! I shall cross the oceans and, within three days, reduce the Seven Sacred Pillars of Sea God Island to ashes, slaughter everyone on the island, and sever every legacy Poseidon left in the mortal world!"

"Hahaha! Brother Mu, why get angry? Why use an ox-cleaving blade to kill a chicken?"

Beside him, Mystic Godson threw back his head and laughed. The ferocious might of the Taotie churned around him, and the phantom of a divine bull raised its head with a long bellow, its savage dominance reaching the extreme:

"This old man's divine bull has an empty belly. I hear the Seven Sacred Pillars of Sea God Island hold some blood essence blessed by the Sea God!

"They're thick-skinned and tough-fleshed-just right for me to catch and serve as snacks with my wine!"

Mystic Godson slammed one knee into the ground, his killing intent soaring into the heavens:

"I, Mystic Godson, also request permission to fight! I shall serve as the empire's vanguard!

"I shall lead a divine-grade Soul Guidance fleet and steamroll Sea God Island! Smash that damned Sea God statue and bring it back for Your Majesty to use as a fire poker!!"

"We request permission to fight! Destroy Sea God Island!!"

In an instant, several top-ranking worshippers and commanders throughout the Worship Hall bowed together to receive their orders!

Their murderous aura surged into the clouds, sending tribulation clouds roiling for a thousand miles above the ocean and driving tsunamis backward!

High above the nine heavens, the purple-gold screen swirled violently.

Even though Bo Saixi's vicious, arrogant words from Sea God Island still hung in the sky!

Even though the vast killing intent within Longcang's Worship Hall had already soared into the heavens, the supreme Sky Screen did not pause for anyone's roars or clamor.

The Sky Screen continued playing footage of Longcang's great bloodbath!

It showed everyone in the present Douluo Plane the sights of that ancient, primordial age-and that bloody slaughter!

Boom-!!

A brutal dragon roar shook the nine heavens and ten earths!

Golden radiance as brilliant as the blazing sun exploded from the deepest reaches of the ten-thousand-meter trench, forcibly tearing a chasm ten thousand miles long through the pitch-black abyss!

The view abruptly pulled back, and the bloody truth that had lain buried in the Douluo Plane for countless tens of thousands of years was laid bare before every living being in the plane!

It was an apocalyptic expedition that crossed the ocean and swept across ten thousand miles!

The first to storm out through the chaotic curtain of seawater were two terrifying Ferocious Beasts whose bodies blotted out the sky and sun!

On the left, a Golden Light Giant Crocodile, a thousand zhang tall and cloaked in dazzling radiance stretching ten thousand zhang, raised its head and roared!

Its blood energy, brimming with ultimate strength, steamed like a blazing sun. With each savage swing of its claws, it stirred up tsunamis powerful enough to crush an entire coastal city in an instant!

On the right, a Deep Sea Demon Whale wreathed in purple-black lightning of destruction stirred up raging waves ten thousand zhang high, its lone eye filled with savage brutality, ready to devour anyone it chose!

Two ancient Ferocious Beasts standing at the pinnacles of ocean and land led the way, followed closely by an army of tens of thousands of Ferocious Beasts wrapped in towering baleful auras!

Beside the giant beasts, two supreme human experts strode through the air, their bodies radiating pure, supreme draconic might!

Behind the human expert on the left towered a Radiant Sacred Dragon image that held open the clouds of the nine heavens!

Pure, sacred platinum dragon breath shone across the four seas. Nine Soul Rings, dazzling as divine miracles, pulsed violently, forcing the seawater for a thousand miles around to sink a hundred zhang!

Above the expert on the right, the savage, domineering phantom of a Godly Taotie Bull raised its head and bellowed! It seemed capable of swallowing heaven and devouring earth! Its violent presence shattered the void!

Behind them marched an army of thousands upon thousands of elite human Soul Masters, clad in heavy armor and arranged in disciplined battle formations!

Yet what truly sent every living being in the plane's scalp crawling was the steel shadow blotting out the sky behind those human experts!

Woooo-!!!

A shrill, desolate aerial battle horn tore through the clouds!

Behind those two supreme human experts, high in the vast heavens!

Hundreds of gigantic Floating Battleships, each easily several thousand meters long, hung in a dense, dark mass!

Their cold, solemn dark-gold metal armor reflected a chilling gleam!

The enormous hulls stood in orderly ranks, spanning tens of thousands of miles of sky!

Like floating sky fortresses, they formed an airtight net of heaven and earth directly above the ocean!

This was no small hunting operation, but a cold, efficient mass encirclement and annihilation-a Dimensionality-Reduction Strike against an ancient ecosystem!

"Target: the heartland of the Deep Sea Ancient Race. Coordinates locked!"

"Saturation bombardment-fire!!"

With the cold commands issuing from the Sky Screen, hundreds of gigantic launch silos beneath the Floating Battleships burst open!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Soul Guidance Nuclear Bombs, inscribed with scarlet Soul Power array patterns and spewing scorching flames from their tails!

They screamed down like a violent storm, slicing through the sky with shrieks that seemed signed by the god of death, plunging ten thousand meters into the deep sea without leaving a single blind spot!

The next instant-

Boom! Boom! Rumble-!!!

An unbroken chain of colossal nuclear explosions erupted within the deep-sea earth veins!

Ocean currents ten thousand meters below were instantly vaporized by temperatures reaching hundreds of millions of degrees!

Hundreds of terrifying mushroom clouds rose from the pitch-black seabed. Enormous shock waves tore tens of millions of tonnes of seawater into white mist filling the sky and towering showers of blood!

There was no probing, no mercy!

Those ancient tribes that had lived and multiplied in Douluo's deep sea for hundreds of thousands of years!

Before this calamity-like storm of war, they could not hold out for even a single breath!

The Deep Sea Mermaid Royal Family, long famed for illusions and water control! Their defensive barriers were instantly vaporized and shattered by the heat and shock of the first wave of Soul Guidance nuclear explosions!

The Bloodthirsty Whale Pod, notorious throughout the ocean and roaming in great packs, had not even seen their enemies' faces! Entire swaths were burned to charcoal beneath naval gun salvos and the sacred dragon flames of the Radiant Sacred Dragon image!

Ahead, the two great Ferocious Beasts tore apart their defensive lines. Above, fleets of battleships bombarded them relentlessly. Behind, the human Soul Master army formed ranks to encircle and exterminate them!

Tear them apart! Steamroll them! Annihilate them across the entire region!

Huge whale skeletons a hundred zhang long were snapped apart by the nuclear shock waves!

The Deep Sea Demon Tortoises' heavy armor shattered into powder, and mermaid remains drifted with the currents... no Sea Soul Beast could escape this cross-dimensional steel strangulation!

Every creature across tens of millions of square kilometers of deep sea was slaughtered. Endless beast blood dyed the entire ocean a glaring dark red!

The vast ocean surface became a churning blood-sea hell, seething with foul-smelling, murderous energy!

Countless sea-beast corpses as enormous as hills covered the ocean, piled layer upon layer!

They actually filled and flattened ten thousand miles of raging waves, becoming a ghastly white continent of corpses stretching across the ocean!

Above that endlessly churning blood sea, millions of Soul Rings burst into existence simultaneously after their hosts' violent deaths!

Purple radiance obscured the sun, ink-black darkness hung heavy, and tens of thousands of hundred-thousand-year scarlet Soul Rings blazed with dazzling red light, illuminating one another and spreading a river of deathly stars ten thousand miles across above the blood sea!

Yet-

Just as everyone in the plane was frightened out of their wits by this war of extermination combining divine powers!

It was not over! In the deepest reaches of the blood sea, space collapsed violently!

Rumble-!

At the abyss's farthest depths appeared the true body of a colossal crocodile, stretching thousands-even ten thousand-miles long!

(At this point, Ye Canghai had not yet devoured enough to grow that large; he was only a little over ten thousand miles long.)

Bearing supreme divine might that truly transcended the laws of this world, he slowly rose from the chaotic earth veins!

His enormous bulk was utterly beyond anything a mortal Soul Beast could possess. His spine stretched across ten thousand miles!

Like a living continent floating in the middle of the blood sea, as his dark-gold dragon scales opened and closed!

The space throughout the entire ocean folded and distorted violently!

The next instant, this colossal crocodile slowly half-opened his gaping, bloody maw, vast enough to swallow the sun and moon!

Humm-!

At the center of his maw, violent radiance and space-warping power compressed furiously, transforming in an instant into an enormous black-hole vortex radiating endless suction!

Whoooosh-!!!

The entire blood-red ocean for ten thousand miles around spun completely out of control the instant the black hole formed!

Tens of millions of cubic meters of viscous bloodwater, millions of deep-sea Ferocious Beast corpses, hundred-thousand-year scarlet Soul Rings drifting throughout the sky, and flickering Soul Bones...

Drawn by an irresistible gravitational force, all of them became a blood-red storm hanging upside down from the heavens!

They spiraled in enormous coils and plunged madly into that black-hole maw!

Gurgle, gurgle!

The giant crocodile swallowed the heavens, drawing in the blood sea like a whale!

Millions of Ferocious Beast remains were shredded at the black hole's edge into the purest streams of life essence!

Every raging Soul Ring representing hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation was crushed into nourishment for his divine marrow!

Just ten breaths!

Ten thousand miles of deep sea were utterly drained and wrung dry. The raging abyss that had once nurtured countless rulers of the sea became a barren expanse of dry, deathly still ground ten thousand zhang deep, where not a blade of grass grew!

Many years passed. Only after seas had turned into mulberry fields did this ten-thousand-mile stretch of ocean gradually regain its former vitality and fill with seawater again!

That process, however, took hundreds of thousands of years!

The colossal crocodile slowly closed his enormous jaws, and the divine might surrounding him faded into the void.

Ten thousand miles of deep sea, a million Ferocious Beasts-from that moment onward... all lay within his belly!

High above the nine heavens, the terrifying image of the giant crocodile's black hole devouring the endless deep sea slowly froze on the Sky Screen, then faded.

The entire plane fell deathly silent!

But deep in the ocean, on the Longcang Continent, within the supreme Worship Hall towering into the clouds!

The violent fighting spirit suppressed for so long finally burst out of control at that instant!

"Your Majesty! Those lunatics on Sea God Island have barked like dogs time and again. Their crimes already warrant inescapable death!"

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's lone eye gleamed with cruel, ravenous bloodlust, and his voice exploded like muffled thunder:

"These posturing clowns left over from the great expedition dare spout nonsense on the Sky Screen?!"

"I request Your Majesty's decree! Let me serve as the vanguard and tear open Sea God Island's barrier!

"I shall uproot those Seven Sacred Pillars and tear those Sea Soul Masters who fancy themselves gods into pieces, to serve as snacks with our brothers' wine!!"

Beside the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, another surge of golden blood energy exploded with utterly savage, overbearing force!

The Golden Crocodile King cupped his fists with a vicious grin, his killing intent soaring into the sky. "The sea beasts have been exterminated. These arrogant dogs of the Sea God will make perfect warm-up targets!

"These claws of mine haven't touched a god's blood in ten thousand years. If I don't crush Bo Saixi's bones today, I swear I won't return to court!!"

It was not just the two Ferocious Beast overlords. Farther forward below the steps, countless stalwarts of the Worship Hall, each radiating supreme pressure like divine pillars steadying the sea, drew their swords and petitioned for orders! They knelt and refused to rise!

"Your Majesty!"

Mu Tianji and Mystic Godson shouted together, their voices shaking the nine heavens:

"Sea God Island gazes at the sky from the bottom of a well, ignorant of heaven's height and earth's depth! We request permission to lead the First and Second Worship Sequences into battle! Cross the ocean and raze Sea God Island!!"

"We request permission to fight! Raze Sea God Island!!"

Outside the great hall stood hundreds of Titled Douluo clad in battle armor of every color, twelfth-level divine-grade Soul Engineers!

Along with numerous high-ranking Ferocious Beast commanders in human form, they slammed down onto one knee in unison, their armor crashing like collapsing mountains and surging tsunamis!

Towering murderous energy surged into the heavens, reversing the winds and clouds across ten thousand miles of sky above the Longcang Continent and sending thunder roaring wildly!

Upon the divine throne.

Ye Canghai, who had been reclining against his dragon couch, slowly straightened.

He looked at Bo Saixi's two lines of crazed, venomous scrolling comments on the Sky Screen!

Then he looked at the empire's fierce generals below the steps, their fighting spirit boiling so fiercely that it seemed ready to tear apart the heavens.

His unfathomably deep dark-gold dragon eyes suddenly swept across the sky. He raised his right arm and sharply swept his broad sleeve through the air!

"Granted!!"
