Yan's sudden attack was like a thunderbolt, catching Tang San completely off guard.
A sense of unprecedented danger surged in Tang San's heart.
Although Tang San could retreat into the Vast Sea's Protection Dome and use his soul power to move it, under the dual pressure of Yan's immense soul power and the gravity field, Tang San couldn't escape in time.
Yan's Fire God Sword in his hand suddenly swung wildly.
A series of golden-red sword lights quickly intertwined to form a densely-packed spherical sword formation.
Inside this sword formation, the light was dazzling, and the sword lights were like lightning. Each one contained devastating power.
They interwove and collided in the air, making deafening booming sounds, as if even the heavens and earth were trembling in response.
This sword formation was one of the killing moves Yan had comprehended during his battle with the Fire God's power in the eighth trial, the Fire God Sword Formation.
In this sword formation, Yan was the master.
He could control every sword light to strike the enemy indiscriminately.
For opponents below the divine level, once trapped in this sword formation, there was no possibility of escape.
Although the Vast Sea's Protection Dome was powerful, under Yan's near-divine level of perception, its concealment effect no longer seemed miraculous.
Yan's mental power was like an invisible giant net, covering the entire battlefield. Even the slightest fluctuation from the Vast Sea's Protection Dome couldn't escape his perception.
Thus, although the Vast Sea's Protection Dome kept moving, trying to escape Yan's lock, it was ultimately in vain.
Yan quickly locked onto the Vast Sea's Protection Dome position and launched an even fiercer attack.
Under the Fire God Sword's attack, the Vast Sea's Protection Dome seemed to have nowhere to hide.
The sounds of the Fire God Sword clashing with the Vast Sea's Protection Dome rang out repeatedly, each impact causing Tang San's heart to leap into his throat.
He could clearly feel the tremors coming from the surface of the Vast Sea's Protection Dome,and the terrifying power that was trying to penetrate the defense and take his life.
At this moment, Tang San, hiding inside the Vast Sea's Protection Dome, was already drenched in sweat.
Sweat slid down his forehead, dripping inside the Vast Sea's Protection Dome, blending with the tense atmosphere in the air.
Yan's offensive was so fierce that when th Vast Sea's Protection Dome broke, it would be the end for Tang San.
Although the Vast Sea's Protection Dome was a divine-level soul guide Skill, water and fire are opposites. As the Fire God Sword's power grew stronger, it was enough to shatter it.
Tang San knew he couldn't just sit and wait to die.
The Sea God's power within him surged more fiercely, and the Sea God's Trident was tightly gripped in his hand, ready to face the imminent life-and-death moment.
Watching this scene from the city walls of the Tianqie Pass, Yu Xiaogang, Ning Fengzhi, and the others were all filled with fear.
They all felt that Tang San was in a perilous situation.
But none of them dared to act rashly.
On the entire battlefield, only Yan and Tang San were engaged in combat. If they acted recklessly, it would immediately ignite the tension, and the worshippers and soul masters from the Spirit Empire would rush over, swiftly overwhelming the Tianqie Pass.
Yu Xiaogang had previously been gambling, hoping that after Tang Xiao's consumption, Yan would eventually be defeated by Tang San, who possessed the Sea God's power.
If they could defeat Yan, it would boost their side's morale and weaken the enemy's.
But he never expected that Yan would show an even fiercer offensive against Tang San than against Tang Xiao.
Only then did he realize they had fallen into Yan's trap.
"Dad, Master, you must think of a way to save Big Brother, he might not last much longer!"
Ning Fengzhi frowned, exchanged a glance with Yu Xiaogang, and quickly made a decision.
"Uncle Jian, let's assist Little San!"
"Alright!"
Sword Douluo did not hesitate and released the true form of the Seven Killing Sword.
Almost at the same time, Ning Fengzhi also released the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and the amplifying light descended upon Sword Douluo.
A giant sword, a hundred meters long and thirty meters wide, descended from the sky, striking towards the light sphere that enveloped Tang San.
Yu Xiaogang, Ning Fengzhi, and the others all understood that this strike would inevitably provoke a crazy counterattack from the Spirit Empire's soul master army.
But Tang San was at a life-or-death juncture; they couldn't just watch him be killed by Yan.
Suddenly, a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out of Tang San's mouth.
Tang San was shocked to discover that the Vast Sea's Protection Dome had developed cracks under the impact of the Fire God Sword.
Even though he had set up defenses, the Fire God's power still harmed him.
The strike by the ninety-seven level Sword Douluo, under the amplification of Ning Fengzhi, already had the power of a ninety-eight level.
That strike slammed into Yan's Fire God Sword formation, exploding with a deafening boom that shook the heavens.
The Fire God Sword formation did not break, but it trembled.
Under the immense shockwave, Tang San seized the fleeting opportunity, withdrew the Vast Sea's Protection Dome and simultaneously activated the Invincible Body and the teleportation skill, maximizing his speed. He broke free from Yan's Fire God Sword formation and instantly appeared on the city wall.
"Xiao San, are you alright?"
Yu Xiaogang asked urgently, his concern evident.
"Teacher, I'm fine."
"Thank you, Uncle Ning and Grandpa Jian, for saving me in time."
Although he had narrowly escaped, Tang San was still shaken.
The Vast Sea's Protection Dome had been broken, and if the cracks had been slightly larger, he would have suffered even greater harm, or even lost his life.
"Not good, quick, defend!"
Tang San became tense again.
Ning Fengzhi and Jian Douluo's sneak attack had completely enraged Qian Renxue.
With a single command, the Lion Douluo, the Thousand-Jin Douluo, and the Demon Suppressing Douluo all moved out.
But still flying at the front of the battlefield was Yan.
"Xiao San, you can't escape!"
"Ning Fengzhi, Sworld Douluo, you two will also pay a heavy price for your sneak attack!"
"Yu Xiaogang, you treacherous dog, you won't escape death either!"
Yan's voice descended from the sky, piercing through the entire battlefield.
It seemed he had an endless supply of soul power; even after two battles, he still had such fierce battle intent.
An invisible and powerful pressure scared the soul masters guarding the city of the Star Luo Empire into a panic.
"Rongrong, hurry and assist me!"
"Okay!"
Three beams of precious light shot out from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, all falling upon Tang San, enhancing his soul power, attack power, and healing his injuries.
After years of training on Seagod Island, Ning Rongrong had broken through to level seventy and had cultivated the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to the Seven Treasure Perfection stage, gaining the ability to heal.
Ignoring the pain in his body, Tang San once again released the Vast Sea's Protection Dome, grasped the Seagod Trident, and felt the Seagod's power surge wildly within him.
He knew that facing an opponent like Yan, who was close to god-level, and the powerful soul master army of the Spirit Empire, head-on was not a good strategy.
He had to use every available resource to give himself and his companions a chance at survival.
"Vast Sea's Wild Wave!"
Tang San roared, pouring all of his Seagod's power into the Vast Sea's Wild Wave.
The Vast Sea's Wave light surged brightly, transforming into a massive golden light curtain that enveloped the entire moat in front of the Tianqie Pass.
With the Seagod's power fueling it, the moat water seemed to come alive, turning into a golden sea.
It surged wildly, sweeping toward the Spirit Empire's army like a tidal wave.
Seeing this, Yan's lips curled into a sneer of contempt.
"Xiao San, this is your own doing."
