Boom!
Seven beams of light shot into the sky. The Sea Dragon, Seahorse, and five other titled Douluo immediately revealed their Martial Spirits, filling the sky above Sea God Island.
At the same time, within the core forbidden area of Sea God Island, the Sea God's light, which illuminated the 108th-level stairs, suddenly erupted, enveloping the seven figures, further increasing their auras.
"What's going on? Why are all seven elders appearing at the same time? Is it related to the blood-red light pillar from a few days ago?"
"Is Sea God Island facing a great calamity?"
"Please, Sea God, save the people of Sea God Island from danger! Long live Sea God!"
The residents of Sea God Island, not knowing the full details, were all thrown into confusion. Many began to kneel, praying for Sea God to descend and protect them from enemies.
When Li Yu arrived, he did not hide his presence, and it even seemed somewhat extravagant.
However, he did not target these ordinary people; his spiritual power directly enveloped the Sea God Palace.
That was why the Seven Sacred Pillars reacted so quickly. Due to their eyesight and the environment, the residents of Sea God Island did not notice him.
After all, in terms of size, compared to Sea God Island, he was far too small.
"Your Highness, what exactly do you want to do?" At this moment, Bo Saixi's figure appeared.
Li Yu was surprised that she addressed him as "Your Highness."
Was she trying to awaken his "conscience" by addressing him like this, hoping he would spare the ordinary people of Sea God Island?
Li Yu immediately understood why Bo Saixi had to accept the Sea God's "enslavement."
He glanced at Bo Saixi with a mix of pity and admiration, but he hadn't intended to harm these ordinary people, so he didn't express any emotions.
At the same time, this was also to prevent this "weakness" from being exposed, which might give the Sea God an opportunity to control him.
Of course, if it came to that, he would let the Sea God understand what "Asura" really meant.
"It's simple, move aside." Li Yu spoke coldly and took a step forward.
His purpose here was for the "Heart of the Sea God," and his destination was, of course, the Trident of the Sea God in the Sea God Palace.
Because of the remaining divine consciousness of the Sea God blocking him, he had not been able to see what was inside earlier, and he had not seen the "Heart of the Sea God."
But, if it wasn't there, it didn't matter.
He had already made it to the Sea God Palace. Couldn't the Sea God show up now?
When that time came, he could directly seize the [authority] from the Sea God as well.
"Impudent, stop!"
"This is Sea God Island, the place protected by the Sea God! You don't have the right to be so wild!"
"How dare you offend the Sea God! Do you want to die?"
The Sea Dragon Douluo and the other six reacted strongly, immediately shouting at Li Yu.
They hadn't witnessed the battle between Li Yu and the Thunder God firsthand; all they had seen from afar was flashing lights alternating.
With the Sea God's light shining upon them, they naturally felt emboldened and began shouting at Li Yu.
Bo Saixi's face changed, but by the time she wanted to stop them, it was too late. She could only stay silent, her hands clenched, her gaze fixed on Li Yu.
"Impudent?" Li Yu halted and glanced at the seven of them, then took another step forward.
But this time, above the sky, seven giant feet, formed from various fused energies, materialized and then stomped down directly onto the seven.
"9th Soul Skill..." The seven's faces changed drastically. They sensed the imminent threat to their lives and immediately unleashed their most powerful techniques in their Martial Spirit forms.
But...
Poof!
None of their defenses had any effect. The giant feet descended without obstruction, directly smashing them onto the Seven Sacred Pillars beneath them and driving them into the ground.
"This..." The residents of Sea God Island were stunned at this moment.
The seven powerful Sacred Pillars, under the protection of the Sea God, were so easily crushed.
What kind of existence was the enemy?
Could it be another god like the Sea God?
How had the Sea God angered such a being? Now they had to bear the wrath of this enemy?
The Seven Sacred Pillars... They had enjoyed the worship of the people for so long, yet now they were so helpless?
Why did the High Priest just watch? Was she going to ignore our deaths?
At this moment, among the Sea God Island residents, many grudges against the Sea God, the Seven Sacred Pillars, and Bo Saixi were born.
Even Li Yu, sensing everything, furrowed his brows, then returned to normal and smiled helplessly.
Human nature was inherently selfish.
Selflessness was, in itself, a contradiction to human nature.
That was why he felt some admiration for Bo Saixi.
Of course, selfishness wasn't a sin, and he had no judgmental authority over it, nor did he have any desire to slaughter others because of it.
He simply looked at Bo Saixi and said lightly, "Is this Sea God Island, which you chose to 'serve' as a slave, worth it?"
What he could sense, Bo Saixi could clearly see. He wanted to see her reaction now.
Bo Saixi clenched her fists, her eyes slightly closed, her whole body trembling.
It was clear that she wasn't at peace.
But after a moment, she opened her eyes again, and her gaze, filled with determination, locked onto Li Yu. "They are right. We have served them for many years, but now we are useless. If Your Highness wants to harm them, then pass over my useless corpse first!"
After speaking, Bo Saixi fully displayed her power. Eight black and one red soul rings rose, and with the protection of the Sea God, her strength reached the "demigod" level.
But for Li Yu now, that was just so-so.
He admired Bo Saixi for maintaining her "true heart" in this situation, but sympathizing and admiring the enemy didn't mean he would allow them to slaughter him.
"Very well." Li Yu spoke calmly and then continued to step forward.
This time, there was no obstruction from the Seven Sacred Pillars Douluo. Even though the Sea God's light fell on Li Yu, it didn't hinder him at all.
Bo Saixi's expression grew solemn as her 7th soul ring flickered. "Sea God Avatar!"
A giant ethereal figure appeared behind her, and then her 9th soul ring glowed. "Sea God Confinement!"
A dazzling golden water-elemental ring fell toward Li Yu, aiming to stop his steps.
But Li Yu was completely unmoved and continued to step forward.
When the ring descended, suddenly countless deep gorges formed within the space.
The gorges collided with the ring, and the faintly divine ring was immediately shattered, unable to reach Li Yu at all.
Bo Saixi wasn't surprised by the result. Her 9th soul ring glowed again. "Sea God Descends!"
All her soul power and mental power were exhausted at that moment, and the ethereal figure behind her expanded and became more solid.
And the Sea God's light, which had illuminated the 108 stairs, now all fell upon her.
He opened his eyes, and his brilliant golden pupils reflected Li Yu figure.
He spoke, "You dare to be impudent in my domain? I shall personally descend. Are you prepared to die?"
