Beyond Sea God Island, the Endless Ocean.
A boundless aura of majesty radiated from Bo Saixi, as an enormous golden phantom slowly materialized behind her, enveloped in a vast blue light.
The phantom took on a humanoid form, exuding an awe-inspiring presence. Though its features were indistinct, one could faintly discern that it held a massive trident in its hands.
It was none other than Bo Saixi's Martial Soul—Sea God.
"Ding ding ding ding ding ding..."
Eight black rings and one red ring—nine soul rings in total—neatly arranged themselves around Bo Saixi, floating in midair, encircling her in an imposing display.
Her immense soul power surged like the boundless ocean beneath her feet. As her Martial Soul emerged, the sea beneath instantly roared with towering waves.
"Go."
The second soul ring beneath Bo Saixi glowed as she lightly waved her right hand. Instantly, the ocean surged, and an enormous wave over a hundred meters high rose, crashing toward Chen Xiaoming.
"Whoosh!"
In a flash, Bo Saixi's figure flickered as a brilliant blue glow illuminated beneath her feet. The surging waves transformed into three colossal water dragons, each over a hundred meters long, roaring as they charged forward in unison.
The overwhelming waves blotted out the sun, descending like an impending apocalypse. The three water dragons split off in different directions, sealing off all possible escape routes for Chen Xiaoming.
"Ding."
Chen Xiaoming raised his head calmly, silver light flickering in his eyes as his soul power surged. In his right hand, his Azurewood Dragon Spear materialized, shrouded in a silver radiance.
Gripping his spear tightly, Chen Xiaoming's figure flickered. Spatial ripples formed beneath his feet as he appeared before one of the water dragons.
"Break."
A flash of crimson light streaked through the air as nine blood-red, hundred-thousand-year soul rings pulsated around him. Chen Xiaoming's figure pierced straight through the water dragon, leaving a gaping wound. Though the water quickly flowed back to restore its form, an undetectable ripple emanated from the wound.
In the blink of an eye, the ripple intensified. The entire water dragon trembled violently before collapsing into a torrential downpour.
"Roar! Roar!"
The remaining two water dragons seized the opportunity, attacking from above and below in a coordinated assault, aiming to engulf Chen Xiaoming completely.
The energy within them was terrifying—each water dragon was as heavy as a mountain. The sheer pressure nearly crushed the surrounding air into nothingness as they descended upon him.
Chen Xiaoming glanced at them, his peripheral vision catching sight of the massive wave behind the dragons. Tapping his foot lightly, his figure plummeted downward. Silver light flickered on his Azurewood Dragon Spear as he thrust it toward the dragon charging from below.
A silver glow streaked through the air. Despite the water dragon's formidable soul power, it was instantly pierced and shattered.
"Boom!"
Water exploded into the sky as a unique ripple spread outward. Just as Chen Xiaoming prepared to continue his assault, he suddenly felt the space around him tighten. It was as though he had been submerged into the deep sea, an indescribable pressure bearing down upon him from all directions.
The overwhelming force made Chen Xiaoming momentarily pause before realization dawned upon him.
"Ocean Domain!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Three more deafening explosions erupted. Looking up, Chen Xiaoming saw three more hundred-meter-high waves rise, encircling him completely along with the earlier ones.
The four colossal waves loomed above, shrouding the sun entirely. At their peak stood Bo Saixi, commanding the waters with absolute authority. The waves slowly converged inward before crashing down in unison, accompanied by the roaring water dragons.
Following close behind them was Bo Saixi herself. At this moment, her seventh soul ring shone brilliantly, merging her with the golden phantom behind her.
As a Limit Douluo, she would never hold back—especially when this was the will of the Sea God.
Activating her Martial Soul True Body, Bo Saixi's eighth black soul ring coiled around her golden trident. As immense soul power poured into it, the originally azure-blue trident radiated an intense golden light.
Sea God Island, Beneath the Seahorse Sacred Pillar.
"Is this the true power of Senior Bo Saixi?"
Tang San muttered in awe as he stared at the display on the screen. Even from such a distance, he could feel his heart tremble at the sight of that radiant golden light—an aura of divine might.
It resembled the golden glow he had once experienced on his forehead, but it was far more intense.
Dai Mubai and Oscar, meanwhile, had no such thoughts. Watching Bo Saixi effortlessly summon hundred-meter waves and command the ocean itself left them utterly shocked.
Five years ago, when Chen Xiaoming fought against Qian Daoliu of Spirit Hall, the battle had never reached this level. Could it be that Bo Saixi was even stronger than Qian Daoliu?
"Sigh, my lady has gotten serious."
Seahorse Douluo, one of the seven Titled Douluos of Sea God Island, sighed softly as he watched Bo Saixi unleash her Martial Soul True Body and even her eighth soul ring.
This was Sea God Island. The surrounding ocean was at Bo Saixi's command, as she was the High Priestess of the island and the chosen servant of the Sea God.
"Kill."
With a soft murmur, golden light flared as Bo Saixi's trident descended toward Chen Xiaoming. The immense waves and water dragons were now mere moments away from impact.
"Boom!"
The waves and dragons struck with catastrophic force, triggering a massive shockwave. The sea itself roiled violently, sending towering waves in all directions. Even from afar, Tang San and the others could feel the ground tremble slightly.
"Where's Teacher Chen?!"
Ma Hongjun anxiously scanned the battlefield, unable to spot Chen Xiaoming amidst the crashing waves and water dragons.
"Whoosh!"
Just as Tang San and the others grew worried, a silver-lit figure shot upward from below. Bathed in radiant silver light, wielding a shining silver spear, he streaked through the air like a falling star, charging directly at Bo Saixi.
"Buzz..."
The silver spear clashed with the golden trident. Two immense soul forces collided, sending a faint ripple across the battlefield.
For a brief moment, the two combatants were locked in a stalemate. However, Bo Saixi's ever-composed expression suddenly changed dramatically. An unstoppable force surged through her trident, shaking her to the core.
Her azure eyes flashed with shock as she gazed at Chen Xiaoming—only to see him flash her a faint smile.
"Break."
Chen Xiaoming's aura surged as silver light exploded from his spear. In an instant, Bo Saixi was sent hurtling backward. The golden trident in her hands dimmed and, with a series of crisp shattering sounds, disintegrated into nothingness.
"Pfft!"
Since her trident was the manifestation of her Martial Soul True Body, its destruction caused an immediate backlash. Bo Saixi's soul power churned violently, and she coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Her aura plummeted, her soul power in complete disarray.
Chen Xiaoming, however, did not pursue. He merely hovered in midair, looking down with a calm smile.
"So, what do you think? My spear... it's still quite formidable, isn't it?"
