Countless golden flame lasers shot out instantly, enveloping Imu.
Although Imu was inside the black flame shield, he could still sense what was happening outside, and his expression turned extremely grim.
Those golden bullets posed little threat to her, but those golden lasers might be a different story.
He could sense the terrifying aura emanating from these golden flame lasers.
If it were just one or two, she could manage to block them, but there were too many, making it impossible for her to block them all.
With this in mind, Imu immediately removed his defenses.
He spread his hands, and the black flames on his body surged, countless black flames bursting forth, forming countless black flame lasers that rushed towards the golden flame laser.
If Xia Chen can learn from her, why can't she learn from Xia Chen?
"Boom!"
Countless golden and black rays collided, creating an incredibly powerful shockwave that spread outwards.
The sea below was constantly trembling due to the aftershocks of their battle, forming huge whirlpools on the surface.
A terrifying energy fluctuation emanated from around the two of them.
"That's interesting!"
Seeing Imu block his attack, Xia Chen couldn't help but smile.
His golden flames were actually a little stronger than Imu's black flames, but only slightly, and the difference wasn't significant.
They can't completely dominate Imu; if they continue playing like this, it could take a very long time to determine a winner.
but...
He never liked playing against opponents who were evenly matched!
Crushing them is what he needs!
Xia Chen slowly raised his hand, looked at Imu in the distance, and a smile appeared on his lips.
With a thought, layers of black ice crystals materialized out of thin air outside the black and gold flames surrounding Imu.
"!!"
"What's this?!"
Imu was doing his best to maintain the black flame laser, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Her intuition told her this was no good and she had to get away from it immediately.
However, the moment this thought crossed her mind, countless black ice crystals covered her.
Before she could even react, it had already enveloped her.
A huge black block of ice appeared in the sky.
Without Imu's power supply, the black flames were instantly shattered by the golden flames, and the golden flame lasers continued to shoot towards Imu.
"Boom!"
Countless golden flames excitedly bombarded the black ice block, unleashing a tremendous roar.
The sky was cloudless, the clouds having been dispersed by the aftershocks.
The golden laser attacks continued relentlessly, and it was unclear how long it lasted before they finally stopped.
A figure fell from the center of the attack; it was Imu.
At this moment, she looked as miserable as could be. The black flames on her body had disappeared, and countless wounds appeared on her body.
Black ice and golden flames lingered on her body, causing her continuous damage at all times.
Xia Chen slightly raised his hand, and a piece of black ice condensed in the air below.
"Bang!"
Imu's body slammed into the black ice with a dull thud.
Imu was now lying face down on the black ice, his aura much weaker than before.
It took her quite a while to slowly get up.
After staggering a few steps, she regained her balance and looked up, only to meet Xia Chen's indifferent gaze.
"Who... who are you? Why is there someone as powerful as you in this world?"
"Imu asked in a low voice through gritted teeth."
She couldn't understand!
She is now stronger than Joy Boy from eight hundred years ago, but she is still no match for this man who appeared out of nowhere.
Theoretically speaking, this should be impossible!
Now she knew she had lost; that move had caused her too much damage.
Far more serious than what is visible on the surface; her internal injuries are even more severe.
If it weren't for her tenacious vitality, she would have died from that attack long ago.
Who am I?
Xia Chen murmured something softly and waved his hand gently.
The black ice beneath Imu's feet instantly covered her, freezing her body and leaving only her head exposed.
Seeing this, Imu did not struggle.
She had already tested the strength of the black ice; even in her prime, it would take her some effort to get out.
Not to mention that she now has almost no strength left, and any struggle would be futile.
Xia Chen raised his hands above his head, and countless golden flames gathered behind him, eventually forming a huge golden fireball with a diameter of over a thousand meters.
The fireball contained terrifying energy, like the sun!
Looking down at Imu, Xia Chen smiled slightly. He said, word by word:
"I am... the Sun God Venerable!"
With that, Xia Chen waved his hand, and a huge golden fireball fell towards Imu's location.
"Is that so?"
Upon hearing the answer, Imu smiled slightly.
That's right, Xia Chen's identity is no longer important to her now.
What good will knowing do?
As the fireball drew near, Imu could clearly sense the terrifying energy it contained.
Given her current condition, she has no chance of surviving this attack.
However, at this moment, Imu felt no fear of his impending death.
Perhaps... over eight hundred years has long since made her lose interest in life!
Imu raised her head slightly, the dazzling golden light making it hard for her to open her eyes.
This terrifying killing move, in that instant, actually made Imu feel warmth.
The next moment, she smiled with relief.
"Suddenly Amaterasu seems a bit low-class, isn't she? The Sun God Venerable!"
As the golden fireball drew ever closer, Imu shouted with his last ounce of strength:
"Since you're so strong, I'd like to see if you can actually prevent the world's crisis decades from now!"
This world is going to be destroyed!
"The world... will eventually sink to the bottom of the sea!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the golden fireball struck Imu, sending her hurtling down into the sea below.
The golden fireball fell onto the sea surface, evaporating countless drops of seawater.
Will the world eventually sink to the bottom of the sea?
"What's it to me!"
Xia Chen said it casually.
Even if all the islands in the world sank to the bottom of the sea during his time, so what?
He can control the rock element and can easily create an island.
Alternatively, he could live on Sky Island, which wouldn't affect him at all.
Watching the golden fireball sink deeper into the sea, Xia Chen couldn't help but murmur again.
"We've been in this world for so long, it's about time we went back!"
"I wonder what the time difference is between the two eras. I hope Luffy and the others won't be in their seventies or eighties when I go back!"
"Alright, go say hello to anyone you know! Then head back!"
With a thought, Xia Chen saw a Vivre Card appear in his hand; it was given to him by the Whitebeard.
Following the direction indicated by the Vivre Card, Xia Chen's figure vanished instantly, his Flying Nimbus leaving a trail in the air.
Shortly after Xia Chen left.
"Boom!"
A Earth Shaker roar resounded, echoing through the heavens!
A real man never looks back at an explosion!
