And at that very moment—
When Mega Rayquaza and Primal Kyogre manifested, time and space themselves seemed to freeze.
The emerald divine dragon coiled above the clouds, its elegant, majestic form like a living embodiment of the laws of the sky.
The deep-blue colossal whale hovered above the land, its vast and ancient body seeming to echo the primal will of the ocean.
These were not simple energy projections.
Their very existence was rewriting the surrounding physical rules.
With every breath Rayquaza took, the air surged into violent currents. With each low rumble from Kyogre, the earth rippled invisibly beneath them.
As for Gu Qi standing before them—
At this moment, he felt smaller than an ant.
No—less than an ant.
He had slaughtered countless people in his life, his hands drenched in innocent blood. He had seen all kinds of powerhouses and Spirit Beasts, had even fought a Rank 90 Titled Douluo, and bowed before the upper echelons of the Holy Spirit Cult.
He believed he had long grown accustomed to so-called "power."
Yet everything before his eyes completely overturned his understanding.
His proud Rank 85 spirit power, in front of these two Divine Beasts, was nothing more than a single drop lost in an endless ocean—insignificant to the point of ridicule.
The Ghost Infant Banner spirit clutched in his hand let out an ear-piercing wail.
The hundreds of twisted infant faces on the banner were no longer filled with hatred and ferocity, but with pure, instinctive terror.
They seemed to glimpse their final end—divine punishment descending from the heavens to cleanse and erase them utterly.
"No… impossible…"
Gu Qi's teeth chattered uncontrollably. His entire body trembled like a sieve, to the point that even standing became a struggle.
His legs gave out, and with a dull thud, he collapsed to his knees. His cloudy eyes nearly bulged from their sockets.
"This… what is this thing?! You're just a brat—how could this be possible?!"
He roared hysterically, his mental defenses collapsing under the weight of this incomprehensible pressure.
Everything he once took pride in—his cultivation, his spirit, his sinister secret techniques—had become a colossal joke.
On the other side, the Snow Empress, witnessing everything firsthand, was equally shaken.
Her ice-blue eyes fixed on Mega Rayquaza in the sky and Primal Kyogre below, unblinking. Her small lips parted slightly, betraying her inner turmoil.
As a Vicious Beast who had lived for seven hundred thousand years and once ruled the Extreme North Land, her perception far surpassed that of a human Spirit Master like Gu Qi.
She could sense the essence of these two existences far more clearly.
"No matter how many times I see it… it still feels absurd," she murmured to herself.
Though this was not her first time witnessing it, she still could not comprehend how a human's spirit could take such a form—and wield such terrifying power.
What shocked her most was that Liu Yuan's current spirit power rank had only just broken through Rank 60.
Logically speaking, no matter how abnormal he was, there should have been a limit.
Yet the presence of these two Divine Beasts shattered that rule completely.
Judging by her seven hundred thousand years of experience, whether it was the divine dragon above or the giant whale below, the energy fluctuations and life-level they radiated were already approaching those of top-tier Vicious Beasts from the Core Circle of the Star Dou Great Forest—creatures with two to three hundred thousand years of cultivation.
It was utterly unreasonable.
…
Just as the Snow Empress's heart raced, Gu Qi—his mind utterly broken by fear—turned and fled.
Facing these two terrifying Divine Beasts, he no longer had the slightest will to fight.
His only thought was to escape—anywhere, as far away as possible.
"Blood Escape Great Technique!"
Gu Qi shrieked. With a loud bang, his body exploded into a dense cloud of blood mist that shot toward the depths of the forest at a speed beyond his limits.
This was his ultimate life-saving trump card, one that had allowed him to escape the pursuit of Titled Douluos more than once.
But before the ruler of the sky—
What did such speed amount to?
"You think you can leave?"
Liu Yuan snorted coldly.
High above, Mega Rayquaza's golden dragon pupils flickered as it calmly locked onto the fleeing blood mist.
"Extreme Speed."
At Liu Yuan's command, the emerald dragon's massive body shifted lightly within the clouds.
Whoosh—!
A streak of green light instantly intercepted the blood mist's escape route.
Immediately afterward, a colossal dragon tail—its emerald scales gleaming like jade—came down in a motion that appeared slow, yet was terrifyingly fast.
Boom!!!
The instant the blood mist touched the dragon tail, it was forcibly compressed back into human form by the overwhelming power.
The earth shook violently. A massive crater over twenty meters wide appeared out of nowhere.
At the center of the pit, Gu Qi lay embedded in the soil like a heap of broken flesh. Every bone in his body was shattered, blood pouring from his seven orifices. He was barely alive, clinging to life only through the tenacious vitality of an eight-ring Spirit Douluo.
He struggled to raise his head, his eyes filled with endless despair and terror.
Yet what awaited him was judgment from the other Divine Beast.
Behind Liu Yuan, the golden patterns on Primal Kyogre's mountain-like body blazed brilliantly.
It opened its abyssal maw, and extreme cold rapidly condensed within.
"Ice Beam."
A blue ray colder than absolute zero burst forth.
Wherever it passed, the air crystallized into ice, vegetation turned instantly into frozen sculptures, and even the colors of the world seemed to be drained away.
That ice-blue beam of death struck Gu Qi precisely in the center of the crater.
No explosion. No sound.
Time itself seemed to pause.
The fear, despair, and resentment frozen on Gu Qi's face became eternal.
In the span of a single second, a lifelike ice sculpture formed within the pit.
Within it, Gu Qi's life aura had completely vanished.
After that, the phantom of Primal Kyogre slowly dissipated.
In the sky, Mega Rayquaza released one last majestic dragon roar. Then its massive tail flicked again—casual and effortless.
An invisible gust of wind swept past.
Crack—
Fine spiderweb cracks instantly spread across the surface of the ice sculpture.
Crash!
In the next moment, the entire sculpture shattered, turning into countless ice crystals that drifted through the air.
A generation's Eight-Ring Evil Soul Master—Ghost Infant Douluo Gu Qi—had completely fallen, body and soul utterly erased.
Mega Rayquaza then returned to Liu Yuan's body.
The suffocating pressure in the surroundings vanished as if it had never existed.
Liu Yuan stood where he was, expression calm, as though he had merely brushed dust from his sleeve.
At last, the long-awaited voice rang out in his mind.
