The Battle Begins

Marshal Ge Long of the Heaven Dou Empire and Marshal Zhu, the patriarch of the Hell Spirit Cat Clan of the Star Luo Empire, led the navies of the two great empires and set sail. At this moment, their sails filled the sky, and they were advancing with the wind and waves.

The warships were mostly filled with ordinary soldiers, interspersed with a portion of the Soul Master Legion, but there were also quite a few top-tier experts.

The Upper Three Sects and the Spirit Hall also sent many Soul Master to accompany the army and assist in the battle.

The Spirit Hall ship was staffed with Pope Qian Xunji, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, as well as two elders who had accompanied them on their previous expedition to Sea God Island and ultimately perished in battle. The Spirit Hall alone had mobilized five Titled Douluo.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan sent its leader Yu Yuanzhen, and its second-in-command Yu Luomian, to battle together.

Ning Fengzhi a very shrewd plan. Fighting on the high seas was prone to accidents, so before setting sail, he left Sword Douluo behind at the sect and replaced him with Bone Douluo Gu Rong, who had spatial abilities. This way, it would be safer to escape with his men if danger were to arise.

Originally, Qian Xunji wanted Dai Tianfeng, the White Tiger Emperor, who was also Titled Douluo, to join the expedition so that he could secretly kill him. However, the emperor was indeed very shrewd. He shut Qian Xunji down with the words, "If the old man Xue Ye doesn't go, I won't go either."

How could he dare go to the battlefield on Xue Ye? With his Swan Martial Soul, would he be sent there to be killed?

Faced with the overwhelming continental coalition, the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians— Sea Dragon, Sea Spear, Sea Delusion, Sea Horse, Sea Ghost, Sea Star, and Sea Witch— all met the enemy head-on.

Before the people from Sea God Island could even voice their questions, Qian Xunji, standing at the bow of the flagship, shouted in grief and indignation:

"Damn Sea God Island! You actually killed our Spirit Hall's Holy Maiden! You've met your end!"

The seven Titled Douluo were completely baffled by this scene.

The strongest Sea Dragon Douluo frowned and shouted, "Nonsense! We didn't kill anyone, they're still here..."

Qian Xunji didn't give the other party a chance to explain at all.

"I don't care, let them all be buried with the Holy Maiden of my Spirit Hall! Marshal Ge Long, Marshal Zhu, attack! All troops, charge! Fight like mad!"

The allied forces are already pressing in; all they need now is a pretext for war. The truth of the matter itself is irrelevant.

The bugles sounded loudly, and the war drums shook the heavens.

Marshal Ge Long and Marshal Zhu immediately waved their command flags, and the navies of the two great empires responded in unison.

The long line of warships surged forward, cutting through the waves, unleashing heavy ballistae and a barrage of Soul Skill, and the naval battle commenced in full force.

Seeing that these land-based Soul Master dared to take the initiative to attack, the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians, including Sea Dragon Douluo, changed color in anger, their Soul Ring lit up, and they mobilized the power of the sea to meet the enemy.

Qian Xunji, as Titled Douluo, pretended to rush forward and stand at the front.

With a sharp shout, he activated his Dark Angel Martial Soul and rose into the air.

Upon seeing the cool, black-glowing angel, Yu Yuanzhen, Ning Fengzhi, and the others asked, "Qian Xunji, what's the situation with your Martial Soul?"

Qian Xunji chuckled and explained, "Hey, it's nothing, I just went a little overpowered. Don't worry, it doesn't bother me. Look how much stronger I am now in my dark form, my cultivation level is breaking through like crazy."

Sensing the even stronger aura emanating from him than from Yu Yuanzhen, everyone was speechless for a moment.

Although he boasted enthusiastically, Qian Xunji felt a wave of disgust as he sensed the Level 98 Soul Power fluctuations within his body.

After refining Old Deng's essence, he was clearly at level 99, but due to the Rakshasa God Trial, he was suppressed to Level 98.

Every time Qian Xunji thought about this, he felt that the Rakshasa God was completely insane. Other Divine Trial, but the Rakshasa Divine Trial specifically to suppress the successor's strength? It was truly a case of being a thimble in the ocean, a clear sign of intellectual disability.

Filled with resentment, Qian Xunji raised his hand, and Ultimate Darkness gathered, condensing into a Fangtian Hua Ji, which he then charged towards the Sea Dragon Douluo at the forefront.

Tang Chen, who had been observing from the sidelines, didn't bother to care about Qian Xunji's strength; it was just a matter of a few blows for him anyway.

What he cares about more now is the towering mountain in the center of the island.

He could clearly sense that the mountain was exuding an atmosphere that captivated him.

At the start of the war, the 3,500 Sea Soul Master of Sea God Island quickly organized a counterattack, taking advantage of their home ground on the high seas.

The group of Sea Soul Master ' Soul Ring lit up, and one by one they unleashed their special skills.

A series of strangely named Soul Skill rang out.

"First Soul Skill, Surging Tide!"

"Third Soul Skill, Raging Waves Erupt!"

"Fifth Soul Skill, Successive High Tides!"

Under the onslaught of more than three thousand Sea Soul Master, the entire sea surface surged and crashed against the allied fleet, with the leading warships being capsized one after another.

"Oh no! There's Soul Beast underwater!"

The Allied soldiers who had fallen into the water cried out for help, but the only response they received was a sea of white, sharp teeth beneath the surface.

The Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King Xiao Bai, led his clan, opening their blood-red maws to assist the Sea God Island garrison in a massacre.

Without accurate intelligence, even with the Allied Forces' Soul Master unleashing defensive Soul Skill to block the attack, the Continental Allied Forces suffered heavy casualties in the first wave of direct confrontation.

Xiao Bai moved through the ocean as if it were nothing, its massive body smashing a warship with each blow, rampaging and carnaging its way through.

Only after the main force of the allied forces stabilized their position were they able to organize a counterattack.

Qian Xunji was pretending to spar with Sea Dragon Douluo, glanced down at his own Soul Master who had fallen into the water and was screaming in pain, his expression completely unmoved.

In any case, the Spirit Hall personnel he brought on this expedition were mostly cannon fodder with poor talent and exhausted potential.

He wouldn't feel any heartache as long as the dead weren't elite Soul Master from the Spirit Hall.

As the saying goes, you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub; if you want to drag the two great empires and the Upper Three Sects into this mess, you have no choice but to sacrifice some of the weaker ones first.

"Hahaha! That's great!"

A wild laugh drowned out the roar of the waves as Tang Chen, wielding a giant hammer, charged onto the island and single-handedly fought four Sacred Pillar Guardian.

In front of Level 99 Limit Douluo, the four Sacred Pillar Douluo were no match for him. Tang Chen attacked with wide, sweeping blows, one hammer blow after another, sending the four flying backward, coughing up blood.

Seeing this, Qian Xunji was happy to have some peace and quiet and continued to throw the match against Sea Dragon Douluo.

Yu Yuanzhen and Gu Rong, who caught up, each took on the remaining two Sacred Pillar Douluo.

As for the other four Titled Douluo of the Spirit Hall, including Yue Guan and Gui Mei, they had already received Qian Xunji's secret instructions to disperse across the sea and pretend to go through the motions.

Qian Xunji the Fangtian Hua Ji, completely putting on an act, his black energy swirling everywhere, yet he didn't even manage to tear the hem of his opponent's clothes;

In contrast, Gu Rong and Yu Yuanzhen were fighting seriously and fiercely, aiming for vital points with every move.

In a very short time, the Seven Sacred Pillars Titled Douluo of the Sea God Island were completely defeated.

With a few swings of his hammer, Tang Chen knocked down everyone in front of him, then grabbed his hammer and headed straight for Sea God Island.

Sea Soul Master from Sea God Island who tried to stop him along the way would be sent to see his great-grandmother in a single encounter.

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and other Sea Soul Beast leaders, who had previously received Gu Yuena's order to "help whoever is weak," were watching the show from afar in the ocean.
