Sea God Island Gets Hit First? The Seven Sacred Pillars Panicked: High Priestess, What Should We Do?
Boom-!
The sky over Douluo Continent seemed to collapse completely at that moment!
Spirit Hall, Papal Hall.
Bibi Dong abruptly rose from the Papal Throne. With a crack, the Pope's Scepter in her hand punched a web of cracks into the hard obsidian floor.
She stared fixedly at the colossal mass moving across the sea in the Sky Screen's overhead view, her beautiful face deathly pale, her breathing utterly ragged.
"The whole... the whole continent is moving?!"
Bibi Dong's nails dug deep into her palms, drawing blood without her noticing. Her mind thundered:
"How could human strength possibly make a continent drift?!
They've gone mad... this is a miracle utterly beyond human strength!"
Inside the Worship Hall.
Qian Daoliu stood beneath the Angel God Statue. The oppressive force stirred up by the image had even forced his nine Soul Rings to manifest on their own, and cold sweat dripped from his jaw:
"Moving tectonic plates, crossing the ocean...
If the continents collide, the upheaval in the earth's veins would be enough to trigger super-tsunamis and earthquakes that sweep across the entire world!
Are they trying to smash Douluo Continent to pieces?!"
Sea God Island, before the Sea God Hall.
Great Enshrined Bo Saixi's face was even more ashen.
As the level-99 Peerless Douluo closest to the Endless Ocean, she no longer needed to rely solely on the Sky Screen's images.
The instant the Sky Screen revealed the truth, the Sea God Scepter in her hand trembled and hummed violently. The ocean's water veins around Sea God Island had already transmitted unprecedented, violent tremors and mournful cries!
That was the warning sign of a terrifyingly heavy mass rapidly squeezing the entire oceanic plate!
"Lunatics... they're all lunatics!"
Bo Saixi staggered several steps backward, her voice shrill:
"Sea God Island... lies right at the forefront of the two continents' collision course!
Once that continent comes crushing toward us, Sea God Island will be the first to be ground to dust!"
Meanwhile, on an ancient road in the wilderness.
The Clear Sky Hammer in Tang Hao's hand crashed to the ground with a boom, sinking deep into the soil.
His resolute, domineering face went completely rigid, his pupils shrinking to pinpoints.
Only moments ago, he had been clamoring on the Sky Screen about assembling the Clear Sky Sect to cross the ocean and shatter the other side's imperial palace with a single hammer blow.
Yet the other side disdained fighting any transoceanic expeditionary war with him at all.
Instead, they were treating their entire imperial continent as a war fortress, ramming toward them at full speed!
"A moving continent... how could anyone possibly defend against that..."
Tang San collapsed into the mud. The lethal Hidden Weapon strikes and sect defensive formations he had rehearsed countless times in his mind.
Yet before the vast scene on the Sky Screen, like a world-destroying celestial impact, they seemed so laughable and absurd.
Before a continental collision measured in tens of thousands of li, the so-called Tang Sect Hidden Weapons did not even amount to the weight of a speck of dust!
Just as all of Douluo Continent sank into boundless panic and despair, Xuanwu Great Emperor Lu Ye typed the final countdown of this round of announcements on the Sky Screen:
[Xuanwu Great Emperor · Lu Ye: Finally, a countdown gift list for you all.] [Xuanwu Great Emperor · Lu Ye: At our current rate of advance, in two and a half days, the leading ocean tsunami raised by the edge of our continental landmass will smash through Sea God Island's defensive barrier.] [Xuanwu Great Emperor · Lu Ye: In three days, Xuanwu Continent will collide with Douluo Continent's western coast, and the lands of the two realms will fully connect.] [Xuanwu Great Emperor · Lu Ye: Tang Hao, Bibi Dong, Yu Xiaogang. Wash your necks and hurry up with your final arrangements. In three days, the Xuanwu Legion will trample your sect gates to pieces.]
Sea God Island, this sacred land in the hearts of Sea Soul Masters, plunged into unprecedented chaos and panic at that moment.
"The continent is moving... heavens, that's a continent fully half the size of Douluo Continent!"
"Two and a half days!
The Xuanwu Great Emperor said the tsunami will overwhelm Sea God Island in two and a half days!"
"Where is Lord Sea God?
Why hasn't Lord Sea God sent down divine punishment to destroy these villains spreading their deceitful lies?!"
"Run!
Why are you still waiting for the Sea God's divine punishment?!
Didn't you see the projection on the Sky Screen?
If a continent that size crashes into us, the whole of Sea God Island won't last even as long as an incense stick burns before it's completely crushed!"
Countless purple-robed and yellow-robed Sea Soul Masters and island residents crowded the streets, alleys, and beaches, gazing up at the sky in utter terror.
They watched the Endless Ocean on the Sky Screen, where enormous rifts stretching millions upon millions of li had been forced open.
Their usual reverence and affinity for the sea had all turned into trembling from the depths of their souls.
Atop Sea God Mountain, outside the Sea God Palace.
Seven powerful presences tore through the clouds almost simultaneously, streaking over from the direction of the Seven Sacred Pillars and landing in the square before the palace.
Sea Dragon Douluo, Sea Spear Douluo, Sea Horse Douluo, Sea Illusion Douluo, Sea Star Douluo, Sea Ghost Douluo, and Sea Witch Douluo-the seven Sacred Pillar Guardian Douluos of Sea God Island had all arrived.
Yet these seven Titled Douluos, ordinarily revered by multitudes, had none of a powerful expert's composure on their faces now, only pallor and alarm.
"Great Enshrined!"
As the leader of the Seven Sacred Pillars, Sea Dragon Douluo was the first to stride forward, his voice exceedingly urgent.
"What the Sky Screen's livestream showed... was it an illusion, or was it real?!"
With her back to the seven, Bo Saixi stood beside the white jade railing at the edge of the Sea God Hall.
The Sea God Scepter in her hand emitted a blue glow that flickered between bright and dim, its shaft trembling slightly.
"Do you think that was an illusion?"
Bo Saixi asked in a dry, trembling voice.
Sea Spear Douluo's expression tightened as he gripped his spear:
"I... I dare not make a rash judgment.
But if it was an illusion, why were even the water veins of the entire Endless Ocean crying out in anguish?
Great Enshrined, while I was guarding the Sea Spear Sacred Pillar just now, an unprecedented shock wave came from deep beneath the sea. That was the sound of the earth's veins being compressed to their limit!"
"It wasn't an illusion."
Sea Horse Douluo spoke bitterly, pointing at the Sky Screen.
"The Sky Screen's mighty power has already surpassed the limits of our understanding.
Since it can manifest in the minds of every living being on Douluo Star and across the heavens, it could never be a fabrication.
That Xuanwu Continent... really is moving toward us!"
"But how is that possible?!"
Sea Witch Douluo's eyes were slightly red. She held her piccolo across her chest, her voice sharp and panicked.
"A continent with fully half the land area of Douluo Continent!
Mountains, rivers, plains, lakes, countless cities...
How could such a colossal mass sail across the sea like a warship?!
Is this a great cataclysm born of heaven and earth, or... or is it really as that Lu Ye said, with someone controlling it?!"
The moment that question was asked, the entire area before the Sea God Hall fell deathly silent.
Sea Star Douluo swallowed hard, his voice hoarse:
"If it's an uncontrolled collapse of the earth's veins, a drifting continent, then it could still be considered a natural disaster...
But if someone is secretly pushing the continent..."
"Who could push a continent?"
Sea Ghost Douluo was gaunt and shriveled, his cold eyes now filled with despair.
"A level-99 Peerless Douluo can move mountains and fill seas, but even if every Peerless Douluo under heaven gathered together, they couldn't hope to budge a continent in the slightest!
If someone truly is controlling it, then is the being pushing the continent a human... or a god?!"
