At that moment, inside the Godslayer's towering bridge command tower, densely packed light screens flickered at blinding speed.

Dozens of high-ranking civil officers clad in Level 9 Soul Engineer robes pushed, pulled, and tapped at their consoles, their fingers blurring into afterimages!

A cool, steady, synthesized female voice echoed through the compartment: "Antigravity Array operating rate: one hundred percent."

"The Godslayer has passed beyond the stratosphere. Current speed has exceeded Mach 12. Atmospheric turbulence has been fully neutralized by the hull's Dragon Scale Defense Field."

"Constant-Energy Star Annihilation Cannon source core warm-up progress: three percent... spatial lock coordinates: Douluo Sea Region, Sea God Island."

Mu Tianji and Mystic Godson stood atop the flagship's command tower with their hands behind their backs, white robes and black armor snapping in the savage winds.

"Sea God Island's spatial coordinates have been fully locked."

The Level 99 Dragon God Douluo, Mu Tianji, rested one hand on his Divine Sword, his hair and beard white as snow, his divine eyes flashing like lightning:

"Within half a day, tear open Sea God Island's so-called outer ocean barrier."

At the front of the command platform, the Level 98 Taotie Douluo, Mystic Godson, clutched half a rack of Ten-Thousand-Year Dragon Elephant ribs, roasted golden brown and dripping with fat!

With a crunch, he bit through the oily, crispy bone. The fragrance of meat spread everywhere as he chewed, grease coating his mouth.

He craned his neck to glance at the enormous black-and-gold cannon muzzle, then grimaced with a touch of reluctance:

"Brother Mu, we're only attacking Sea God Island. At most, it's just a few rotten wooden posts that glow!

"Did we really need to drag this 'big fellow' out for a stroll?

"If our hand slips and we fire a shot, I'm afraid the entire Western Sea will be blasted into an abyss of magma. Where would I catch fresh seafood to go with my wine then?"

Mu Tianji's hair and beard were white as snow. With one hand resting on his Divine Sword, his expression remained unruffled, though a trace of cold arrogance swept through his eyes:

"Sea God Island is merely a speck of an isolated island. Naturally, it is beneath mention."

"But this cannon was never built to play house with the natives on a planet the size of a mud pellet.

"It was built to strike beyond the far reaches of deep space and blast through the gates of the Divine Realm! To show those false gods! To wage war across the starry seas of the future!"

Mu Tianji swept his long sleeve into the wind, his tone as calm as though he were stating an established fact:

"Today, we'll use the Sea God's nest as a target for a test shot. And while we're at it, those relics of the old era on the Sky Screen who have no idea how close they are to death...

"Will receive a proper lesson in what it means to hear an era's death knell."

Mu Tianji's gaze sharpened, and he barked coldly:

"Relay my orders to every ship! Main Propulsion Matrices, full power!"

"Blitz Sea God Island! All forces-accelerate!!"

"On it!" Mystic Godson casually tossed the half-eaten elephant bone outside. His savage taotie blood energy erupted as he grinned viciously:

"These charlatans who fancy themselves rulers of the ocean haven't taken a beating from the times in ten thousand years.

"Today, we'll use Longcang's God-Level Battleships to teach them a proper lesson!"

Boom-!

In an instant, the beams blazing from the sterns of the thirteen thousand-mile-long God-Level Battleships tripled in intensity!

Like thirteen unstoppable divine swords of creation, they tore the heavens apart and roared straight toward the depths of the boundless ocean!

And in the turbulent deep sea directly beneath the battleship fleet was the Million-Year God King Dragon Crocodile, bearing the vast Longcang Continent on his back!

With a stamp of his immense claw, he ripped apart towering waves. The continent's earth veins, vast as a living celestial body, followed close behind, thundering westward at tremendous speed!

Just as the Longcang fleet became streaks of deathly light slicing through the sea of clouds.

Within the Douluo Continent, people were still locked in fierce arguments over "whether the Longcang Empire could actually cross the sea"!

Yet far away on the Sun Moon Continent, west of the ocean, the atmosphere had long since become as jubilant as a festival.

On the top floor of the Sun Moon Empire's imperial palace,

Emperor Xu Tianhuang and a group of court experts clad in Level 7 Soul Engineer robes sat around an enormous soul-guidance crystal ball!

The table was laden with exquisite spirit fruits and fine aged wine.

As they watched the Longcang Empire's entire army draw its blades on the Sky Screen!

Then watched the Star Luo Emperor scramble overnight to sever ties like a dog bereft of its home, the whole hall erupted in laughter as merry as a New Year celebration.

"Hahahaha! They're fighting! They're really fighting!!"

A white-haired Level 7 Soul Engineer slapped the table in delight, then slapped his thigh with glee:

"Those primitives on the Douluo Continent who call themselves the 'orthodox heirs of martial souls' brag in the comments every day about Titled Douluos moving mountains and filling seas. Now they've finally hit something hard!"

"Fight! Beat them mercilessly! Better yet, blast that Sea God Island straight into an undersea basin!"

Xu Tianhuang's eyes shone with excitement. He sipped his strong liquor and waved a hand with a sneer:

"Pass down my orders. Have the scribes of our Royal Soul Engineer Corps add some fuel on the Sky Screen too! Make that fire burn even hotter!"

The next moment, official comments from the Sun Moon Continent swept across the sky in a mighty torrent, brimming with the glee of spectators who never feared making a spectacle worse:

[Sun Moon Empire · Royal Soul Engineer: Selling fixed high-explosive soul cannon shells of every level in the front row! Do the primitives of Douluo want to buy a few? You won't be able to stop them otherwise!]

[Longcang brothers, mighty indeed! We support righteous punishment! We recommend deploying a Level 12 destruction array directly!

[Saturate the entire area and blast those self-righteous charlatans on Sea God Island into slag!]

[Sun Moon Empire's Crown Prince: Fight, fight! Those savages on the Douluo Continent who coast on their bloodlines deserve to be crushed by soul guidance technology from a higher dimension!

[I hereby wish the Longcang Divine Emperor victory from the first unfurling of his banner! May his horses trample Sea God Hall!]

Fanning the flames!

Fanning the flames with utter, frenzied abandon!

Almost the entire Sun Moon Continent was banging gongs and beating drums as they waved banners and cheered for the Longcang Empire. They wished they could personally hand the Longcang fleet a torch!

Sea God Island.

Surging waves battered the ten-thousand-year-old reefs of Sea God Mountain, unleashing muffled roars like pounding war drums.

At the mountaintop, the ruined Seven Sacred Pillars gave off their final blue-and-gold radiance!

At that moment, their power was driven to its absolute limit, forming an enormous divine barrier spanning a hundred miles and tightly enclosing all of Sea God Island!

Before the altar in the grand hall.

Although several deep cracks had appeared in the Sea God Scepter in Bo Saixi's hand, and its divine core was half-shattered, she forcibly suppressed her internal injuries with soul power.

The earlier replay on the Sky Screen of the giant crocodile swallowing the heavens in annihilation had indeed frightened her so badly that her Dao heart had nearly shattered.

But as the Sky Screen broadcast Ye Canghai's "declaration of war,"

And supportive comments from hundreds of millions of Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent scrolled past,

Bo Saixi's heart, which had plunged into the abyss, incredulously began... swelling wildly once again!

"Three days?"

Bo Saixi narrowed her beautiful eyes, a bone-chilling sneer hanging at the corners of her deathly pale lips:

"That Primordial Crocodile God who devoured heaven and earth was clearly a scene from hundreds of thousands of years ago!

"If he could truly roam the mortal world at will now, why would he have waited until today?!"

In her confused, arrogant deductions, Bo Saixi firmly believed that the God King-level beast had long since fallen into eternal deathly stillness!

Or was in a state of suspended death from which he could not awaken!

Those crossing the ocean now were merely a band of human Soul Engineers and some sea beasts marching under the Divine Emperor's banner!

"Lord Sea God is the true sovereign of this ocean!"

Bo Saixi slammed her scepter heavily against the ground, her voice exploding before the grand hall:

"Seven Sacred Pillars, heed my command! Draw upon the endless ocean's heart! Activate the Sea God Guardian Formation!!"

Boom!

Sea Dragon Douluo, Sea Spear Douluo, and the other five roared in unison!

Nine soul rings blazed around each of them at once. Their overwhelming, peerless soul power linked with the entire ocean, and seven towering pillars of light pierced straight into the thunderclouds high above!

"Rest assured, High Priestess! Here upon this ocean, with the Sea God Formation and the Endless Ocean supporting us!

"Even if every member of Spirit Hall came, they could never shake our divine island in the slightest!"

Sea Dragon Douluo seethed with killing intent, his eyes blood-red:

"Come on! If you overseas bastards have the guts, cross the sea!"

Bo Saixi's expression grew ferocious to the extreme, and she swept her slender hand outward!

A golden comment infused with her raging Level 97 divine sense!

Carrying Sea God Island's "unyielding pride" and madness, it slammed brazenly into the very center of the Sky Screen across the entire plane!

[Sea God Island's High Priestess · Bo Saixi: Such arrogant words! Flatten Sea God Island within three days? If you have the guts, cross these ten thousand miles of furious waves and try!

[With the Seven Sacred Pillars at my side, I shall draw upon the Sea God's boundless divine radiance and await you overseas savages atop Sea God Mountain!

[Your so-called divine ships shall sink into the sand with their broken halberds, and your entire army shall find its grave in the bellies of fish!!]

[Sea Dragon Douluo: Come if you dare! My Sea Dragon Divine Spear hasn't drunk the blood of traitors in ten thousand years!!]

The golden letters burned like fire, every word screaming defiance!

All of Sea God Island was whipped into a frenzy. They stubbornly believed that even if the enemy set sail!

They would still have to navigate the ocean's storms and hidden reefs for months, if not years;

They had no idea-

That at the far end of those ten thousand miles of ocean, thirteen creation-slaying blades that tore through the void, cruising at twelve times the speed of sound!

Had already sliced through the raging winds and were roaring toward their heads... bearing star-exterminating kinetic force on the scale of "peerless great fortune," ready to crush them!

Yet just as the entire plane's attention remained fixed on Sea God Island's defiant challenge, at that taut instant when war could erupt at a touch-

High above the heavens, the purple-and-gold Sky Screen that covered the sky suddenly erupted without warning!

Hum-!

Ten thousand pure-gold divine chains of order descended from the depths of the void!

At the very center of the light screen that had been displaying the movements of the opposing forces!

Rows of brilliantly shining golden words, carrying the boundless majesty of the Heavenly Dao, slammed down with the force of a sweep across the universe:

[Douluo Plane Supreme Top Ten Powers Ranking-No. 10: "Douluo Deep Sea"!]

[Exclusive reward for a ranked power-officially issued!]
