Above the firmament.
Golden words appeared one by one.
[Douluo Continent Powerhouse Ranking.] [Fifth place.] [Bo Saixi.] [Martial Soul: Sea God.] [Soul Power: Level 99.] [Identity: Great Enshrined of Sea God Island.] [Title: Sea God Douluo.] [Bearer of a God-Bestowed Martial Soul.] [Within the sea, she can command the ocean's power.] [Below god level, invincible in the sea.]
The entire continent fell silent at once.
The next moment.
Countless scrolling comments filled the Sky Screen.
[A Level 99 Peerless Douluo!]
[Her Martial Soul is actually the Sea God!]
[What is a God-Bestowed Martial Soul?]
[Invincible below god level in the sea!]
[No wonder she ranked ahead of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King!]
[Doesn't that mean even the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King couldn't beat her before becoming a god?]
[Sea God Island actually had a Peerless Douluo hidden away!]
Spirit City.
Before the Papal Palace.
Bibi Dong looked at Bo Saixi's information.
The Rakshasa Demon Halberd in her hand trembled gently.
"Level 99."
"The Sea God Martial Soul."
She had long known that Sea God Island had a Great Enshrined.
Spirit Hall had once sent large numbers of Soul Masters to attack Sea God Island.
In that battle, Spirit Hall had suffered devastating losses.
Even the powerhouse leading the force back then had never truly entered Sea God Island's Core Region.
But detailed information about Bo Saixi had never circulated across the continent.
Now, the Heavenly Dao had directly revealed her cultivation.
A Level 99 Peerless Douluo.
And she could command the power of the sea within its waters.
Chrysanthemum Douluo stood below the raised platform.
"Your Holiness."
"Bo Saixi and the Great Enshrined are both Level 99."
"Yet she ranked ahead of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King."
Ghost Douluo looked at the nine rings of water in the Sky Screen.
"In the sea, she is probably already close to god level."
Bibi Dong raised her eyes.
"Not close."
"With the Divine Power left on Sea God Island, she can briefly wield god-level power."
The purple-black Divine Runes on the Rakshasa Demon Halberd gradually lit up.
Bibi Dong also possessed a god's inheritance.
She could sense the dense Sea God Divine Power hidden within Bo Saixi.
Although Bo Saixi had no Divine Position, she had already become the Sea God's representative in the mortal world.
The Worship Hall.
Qian Daoliu stood before the Angel God Statue.
Six enshrined stood behind him.
Everyone's gaze rested on Bo Saixi.
Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at Qian Daoliu.
"Great Enshrined."
"Do you know Bo Saixi?"
"Yes."
Qian Daoliu gazed at the red-robed figure in the Sky Screen.
Many years ago.
He and Tang Chen had traveled to Sea God Island together.
The two Level 99 Peerless Douluos had joined forces to challenge Bo Saixi.
In the end, both had lost.
On Sea God Island, Bo Saixi could command the power of the sea and the Sea God Hall.
That power had already surpassed the limits of a Peerless Douluo.
Qian Daoliu fell silent for a moment.
"If we fought on land, it would be hard to say which of us would win."
"If we fought in the sea, I would be no match for her."
The Worship Hall fell silent once more.
Qian Daoliu was Invincible in the Sky.
Tang Chen was Invincible on Land.
Bo Saixi was invincible in the sea.
All three were Level 99 Peerless Douluos.
Yet in the domains where each excelled most, differences in strength still existed.
Golden Crocodile Douluo looked up at the Powerhouse Ranking.
"Bo Saixi is fifth."
"Will you also be on the ranking, Great Enshrined?"
Qian Daoliu did not answer.
Fifth place had already appeared.
Only four places remained above it.
Whether he qualified for the top four, the Heavenly Dao would soon provide the answer.
The Clear Sky Sect.
Amid the mountains.
Tang Xiao stood at the edge of a cliff.
As he looked at Bo Saixi in the Sky Screen, his expression gradually grew serious.
Several Clear Sky Sect elders stood behind him.
They did not know Bo Saixi.
But they had heard that Tang Chen had once visited Sea God Island.
The Seventh Elder looked at Tang Xiao.
"Sect Master."
"Was the old sect master's departure from the Clear Sky Sect back then connected to Bo Saixi?"
Tang Xiao nodded.
"My great-grandfather once challenged Bo Saixi alongside Qian Daoliu."
"They both lost that battle."
The elders' expressions changed at the same time.
Tang Chen was the strongest person in the Clear Sky Sect's history.
He was also widely acknowledged across the continent as Invincible on Land.
Even Tang Chen had once lost to Bo Saixi.
The strength of this Great Enshrined of Sea God Island was far more terrifying than the words in the Sky Screen suggested.
The Second Elder looked at the nine blue rings of water.
"If she could defeat the old sect master, why is she only fifth?"
Tang Xiao did not answer.
He wanted to know as well.
Which four powerhouses stood ahead of Bo Saixi?
The Star Dou Great Forest.
Di Tian stood on the Lake of Life.
As he looked at Bo Saixi in the Sky Screen, his golden eyes narrowed slightly.
"Bo Saixi."
Di Tian had heard this name before.
The Great Enshrined of Sea God Island.
The Sea God's guardian in the mortal world.
If they fought in the sea, even he could not easily defeat Bo Saixi.
Xiong Jun looked at the words "invincible in the sea."
"Could she really suppress the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King before he became a god?"
"Yes."
Gu Yuena stood at the center of the lake.
"She possesses a Martial Soul bestowed by the Sea God."
"She can also borrow Sea God Divine Power."
"Before the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King completed his Divine Body, his Devouring Domain would be suppressed by the sea."
"Bo Saixi, however, can directly control those waters."
The Myriad Demon King's branches and leaves swayed gently.
"What if the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King went to Sea God Island now?"
Gu Yuena looked toward the Demon Whale Sea.
"The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King has now inherited the Devouring Divine Position."
"Bo Saixi is no longer his match."
Di Tian raised his head.
"Unless the Sea God descends in person."
Gu Yuena did not deny it.
However powerful Bo Saixi was, she had still not truly become a god.
She could draw on Sea God Island to wield god-level combat power.
But she could not fight a First-Level God for long.
The Far North.
The Snow Empress stood before the Ice Palace.
The Heavenly Frost Sword hovered beside her.
The Ice Empress gazed at the nine rings of water beside Bo Saixi.
"Below god level, invincible in the sea."
"The Heavenly Dao's appraisal of her is very high."
The Snow Empress nodded gently.
"She has become one with Sea God Island."
"As long as she stands on that island, she can command the power left behind by the Sea God."
The Ice Empress raised her scorpion tail.
"Very much like your Lord of the Far North Divine Seat."
"They're different."
The Snow Empress looked at the scepter in Bo Saixi's hand.
"My power comes from the origin of the Far North."
"What Bo Saixi borrows is the Sea God's power."
"As soon as the Sea God withdraws his Divine Power, she will lose most of her amplification."
The Ice Empress understood the difference.
The Snow Empress was the Lord of the Far North.
Bo Saixi, however, was merely the Sea God's representative.
Both could draw upon the power of a region of heaven and earth.
Bo Saixi remained constrained by the Sea God's divine authority.
Dugu Manor.
Inside a room in the East Courtyard.
Wrapped in Ning Xian's white robe, Dugu Yan sat on the edge of the bed.
She watched Bo Saixi on the Sky Screen.
The red robe and blue seawater reflected one another.
Nine rings of water hovered behind Bo Saixi.
Dugu Yan watched that composure for a long while.
"Senior."
"Bo Saixi is so beautiful."
"Mm."
Dugu Yan lowered her head and looked at the white robe she wore.
"Who's prettier, her or the Snow Empress?"
"Each has her own beauty."
"What about me?"
Ning Xian looked at her.
Dugu Yan had just bathed.
Her dark green hair had not yet dried completely.
The loose neckline revealed her delicate collarbones.
The white robe clearly did not fit her; even after she tightened the sash, the hem and sleeves remained oversized.
Her bare feet rested on the floor.
Her ankles were slender, and a few droplets of water still clung to her skin.
Ning Xian withdrew his gaze.
"You're pretty too."
Dugu Yan leaned a little closer.
"Are you just humoring me, Senior?"
"No."
"Then who's prettier, Bo Saixi or me?"
"You're different."
Dugu Yan thought for a moment.
She did not press him further.
"Then let's say we're equally pretty."
Ning Xian did not argue.
Dugu Yan nodded in satisfaction.
She turned back to the Sky Screen.
"Bo Saixi ranks fifth."
"Who are the four ahead of her?"
"They'll be announced later."
"You must know, Senior."
Dugu Yan reached out and caught his sleeve.
Her wide cuff slid down, revealing a stretch of snow-white arm.
"Tell me just one first."
"No."
"Why?"
"The rankings haven't been announced yet."
Dugu Yan edged a little closer to him.
"I won't tell anyone."
"Still no."
She moved closer still.
Her damp hair fell onto Ning Xian's shoulder.
A faint fragrance wafted from the strands.
"Senior."
Ning Xian looked at her.
"Change your clothes first."
Dugu Yan glanced down.
The white robe's sash was not tied tightly.
The neckline had already slipped to one side.
She immediately raised a hand to hold the collar in place.
"Did you see, Senior?"
"Mm."
A blush spread across Dugu Yan's face.
Rather than getting up, she straightened her collar again.
"It's your robe anyway, Senior."
Ning Xian raised a hand and rested it on her long hair.
Mystic Yellow Radiance gently flowed.
The damp strands soon became dry.
Her dark green hair hung loose.
Dugu Yan raised a hand to touch it.
"You even know how to dry someone's hair, Senior?"
"Xuanhuang power can evaporate moisture."
"Then I'll come to you every time I finish bathing."
"You can use your own soul power too."
"My soul power doesn't work as well as yours."
She tidied her long hair.
Then Dugu Yan pinned the begonia flower beside her ear again.
"Does this look pretty?"
"Yes."
She watched Bo Saixi on the Sky Screen.
The blush on her face gradually faded.
Demon Whale Sea.
The Sky-Devouring Demon God stood upon the purple-gold sea.
The nine divine halos behind him slowly revolved.
The Sky-Devouring Divine Domain, which had already been expanding toward Sea God Island, temporarily stopped.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King looked up at Bo Saixi.
"Fifth place."
"So it's her."
Before he became a god, Bo Saixi had indeed been the strongest human in the sea.
Relying on Sea God Island and the Sea God's divine power, she could suppress his Devouring Domain.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had never attacked Sea God Island.
Bo Saixi was one of the reasons.
Now, everything was different.
The Devouring Divine Position hovered behind the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
Divine power flowed slowly within his complete divine body.
The Sky-Devouring Divine Domain was no longer constrained by the laws of the ocean either.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King looked toward Sea God Island.
"Bo Saixi."
"I admit that before I became a god, you were stronger than me."
"Now, you are no longer qualified to stop me."
Purple-gold waves spread from beneath his feet.
Vast stretches of seawater parted to either side on their own.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King did not immediately head for Sea God Island.
The Sky Screen was revealing Bo Saixi's experiences.
He wanted to finish watching before personally shattering her supposed invincibility at sea.
High in the heavens.
In the image, Bo Saixi slowly raised her scepter.
The nine rings of water spread outward.
The entire sea rose with them.
Countless streams of water gathered behind her, forming a Sea God Phantom a thousand zhang tall.
The Sea God Phantom held the Golden Trident.
Divine might enveloped the whole of Sea God Island.
Golden text appeared.
[Bo Saixi was born on Sea God Island.] [During her martial soul awakening, she received the recognition of the Sea God's divine power.] [Innate full soul power at level 20.] [Her martial soul was personally bestowed by the Sea God.] [She became a Soul Saint at eighteen.] [She broke through to Titled Douluo at thirty.] [She reached level 99 at fifty.] [She inherited the position of Great Enshrined of Sea God Island.] [She can draw upon the power of Sea God Hall, the Seven Sacred Pillars, and the boundless sea.] [Within Sea God Island, she possesses the body of a demigod.] [By fully mobilizing the Sea God's divine power, she can briefly reach god level.]
Soul Masters across the continent were once again shaken.
[Innate level 20 soul power!]
[She became a Soul Saint at eighteen?]
[She was already a Titled Douluo at thirty!]
[She reached level 99 at fifty!]
[Her martial soul was personally bestowed by the Sea God!]
[So that's what a god-bestowed martial soul means!]
[Bo Saixi can briefly reach god level!]
The image on the Sky Screen changed rapidly.
Outside Sea God Island.
Two figures came striding across the sea.
One wore a golden robe.
A Six-Winged Angel phantom hovered behind him.
Nine soul rings slowly revolved around his body.
The other wore a long gray robe.
He held the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand.
Black and red patterns intertwined across the hammer's surface.
Golden text appeared above each of them.
[Angel Douluo, Qian Daoliu.] [Level 99 Peerless Douluo.] [Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Chen.] [Level 99 Peerless Douluo.]
Two Peerless Douluos stood on the sea.
Opposite them.
Bo Saixi stood alone at the edge of Sea God Island.
Her red robe billowed behind her in the sea breeze.
Her scepter gently touched the sea.
The boundless seawater immediately solidified.
Qian Daoliu was the first to rise high into the air.
His Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul unfurled completely.
Golden radiance illuminated the waters.
Tang Chen stepped forward.
The Clear Sky Hammer rapidly expanded.
An enormous hammer shadow obscured half the sky.
Bo Saixi raised her scepter.
The first ring of water lit up.
"Sea God Domain."
Blue divine light spread from Sea God Island.
The angelic radiance behind Qian Daoliu was instantly suppressed.
The seawater beneath Tang Chen's feet transformed into hundreds of water dragons.
The water dragons surged into the sky.
The Clear Sky Hammer struck down repeatedly.
Water dragons were smashed apart one after another.
Yet more seawater converged from every direction.
Bo Saixi stood where she was, without retreating a single step.
The second ring of water lit up in turn.
"Sea God's Twilight."
The heavens rapidly darkened.
A golden setting sun appeared at the far end of the sea.
The setting sun sank into the sea.
The entire expanse of sea turned blue and gold.
Qian Daoliu raised both hands.
The Angel Holy Sword slashed down from high above.
Tang Chen swung the Clear Sky Hammer at the same time.
The Great Sumeru Hammer smashed head-on toward Sea God Island with the power of nine Soul Rings.
Bo Saixi lifted her eyes.
The Sea God Phantom behind her grasped the Golden Trident.
The trident swept outward.
The Angel Holy Sword snapped in the middle.
Blue-gold waves held the Clear Sky Hammer suspended in midair.
Tang Chen exerted his strength again.
The Clear Sky Hammer still could not descend.
The next moment.
The Sea God Phantom thrust the trident forward.
A blue-gold pillar of light pierced the sky.
The Six-Winged Angel behind Qian Daoliu rapidly dimmed.
Tang Chen's Clear Sky Hammer was also jolted back into his hand.
The two Level 99 Peerless Douluos withdrew beyond the bounds of Sea God Island at the same time.
Bo Saixi still stood where she was.
There was not the slightest damage to her red robe.
The image froze at that moment.
Golden text covered the heavens.
[Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen challenged Bo Saixi in succession.] [Drawing on the power of Sea God Island and the sea, Bo Saixi defeated them both.] [Angel Douluo, Invincible in the Sky.] [Clear Sky Douluo, Invincible on Land.] [Sea God Douluo, Invincible in the Sea.] [Within the bounds of Sea God Island, Bo Saixi ranked first among the three great Peerless Douluos.]
