She didn't want to make an enemy of such an opponent, but the Angelic God Armament was too important to Sea God Island. Although Sea God Island possessed the Sea God inheritance, the characteristics of the Sea God's divine position meant its power would be weakened on land. If they could obtain the divine laws within the Angelic God Armament and remedy the defects in Sea God Island's inheritance, their voice on the continent would be completely different in the future.
More importantly, this operation was a joint decision of Sea God Island's high-level leadership. If she returned empty-handed, she would have difficulty explaining herself.
"Apologies," Bo Saixi took a deep breath, pointing her scepter at Bibi Dong, "Sea God Island will not retreat."
"Then we fight." Bibi Dong's response was concise and ice-cold.
She didn't even summon her martial soul, merely raised her hand in a grasping motion.
The wind between heaven and earth, at this moment, obeyed her command.
Countless cyan wind blades materialized out of thin air, each containing the cutting power of laws, attacking the six from Sea God Island from all directions. This wasn't a soul skill, but the direct application of laws—no wind-up, no charging, wherever her will reached, the attack arrived!
Bo Saixi shouted sharply, and the Sea God Scepter erupted with dazzling blue light. Vast Sea God power transformed into a shield, protecting the six within. Wind blades crashed against the shield, emitting dense cutting sounds, and the shield fluctuated violently, but temporarily held.
However, this was only the beginning.
Bibi Dong flicked her fingers, and those blocked wind blades didn't dissipate, instead reintegrating into the wind and transforming into more concealed, more cunning attacks—some drilling out from underground, some falling vertically from the sky, some even generating inside the shield itself!
This was the ultimate application of the wind law's characteristic of "omnipresence."
"Be careful!" Bo Saixi's expression was grim. She discovered that her proud Sea God Domain, under the opponent's law suppression, could barely maintain defense and was difficult to counterattack with.
The five Titled Douluos were even more disheveled. They had to defend with all their strength and had no time for anything else. One of the Level 95 Douluos was half a beat too slow, and his left arm was sliced by an invisible wind blade. His protective soul power was cut like paper, and blood sprayed out.
"Form the array!" Bo Saixi decided immediately.
The five Titled Douluos immediately changed positions, forming a hexagram array with Bo Saixi at the core. Sea God power circulated between them, forming a unified whole, and their defensive power greatly increased.
But the corner of Bibi Dong's mouth curved into a mocking arc.
"An array?" she murmured softly, "Before the wind, all fixed formations are targets."
She brought her hands together before her chest, then slowly pulled them apart to the sides.
With her movement, the wind on the battlefield changed.
No longer chaotic attacks, but forming orderly, layered "Wind Tides." Wave upon wave, each containing different law characteristics—the first wave was pure cutting, the second was high-frequency vibration, the third was low-temperature freezing, the fourth was soul erosion...
The tides crashed against Sea God Island's defensive formation wave after wave, each wave making the six's faces paler. They could feel their soul power rapidly depleting. What was even more terrifying was that the law power contained in the tides continuously eroded the array's structure, destroying the energy links between them.
"Grand Worship, we can't sustain this!" one enforcer said anxiously.
How could Bo Saixi not know? But she couldn't retreat. Once the array collapsed, facing Bibi Dong's omnipresent, impossible-to-defend-against attacks, they might really have someone fall here.
She gritted her teeth, raised her scepter high, and began to chant an ancient incantation.
That was Sea God Island's secret technique, burning one's own essence blood as the price to temporarily obtain the full blessing of Sea God power. The price was enormous, but the power could be described as world-destroying.
The sky suddenly darkened, dark clouds gathered, thunder and lightning flashed. Behind Bo Saixi appeared a massive Sea God phantom, that phantom holding a trident, majestic as a prison.
"Sea God, descend!" Bo Saixi sprayed out a mouthful of essence blood, sprinkling it on the scepter.
The Sea God phantom instantly solidified several times over, and the trident slowly thrust toward Bibi Dong.
This strike had already touched the threshold of the god level!
Dai Chengfeng's expression changed greatly. He wanted to step forward to help, but was stopped by Bibi Dong's gaze.
Bibi Dong raised her head, looking at the thrusting Sea God Trident phantom, her eyes showing no fear whatsoever, instead revealing a trace of... interest?
"Imitating a god's authority?" she evaluated softly, "Similar in form, lacking in spirit."
She didn't even defend, merely extended one finger, pointing at that heaven-obscuring trident.
At her fingertip, a point of cyan light lit up.
That light was small, weak, compared to the massive trident phantom, simply insignificant.
But it was this tiny point of cyan light that, the moment it made contact with the trident, produced unimaginable effects.
There was no earth-shattering explosion, no roar of energy collision.
The trident phantom, like snow encountering sunlight, began... to melt.
Not shattered, not neutralized, but disintegrated from the most fundamental law level, reduced to the most primal energy, then absorbed and transformed by that point of cyan light.
"This is impossible!" Bo Saixi cried out in shock.
Her essence blood-burning summoned Sea God strike had been resolved so lightly? This had exceeded her comprehension!
"Nothing is impossible," Bibi Dong withdrew her finger, that point of cyan light returning to her body, "Your utilization of Sea God power still remains at the level of 'borrowing power.' As for me, I've already begun to 'understand' the essence of laws. The superiority is clear."
She paused, then continued: "With that strike just now, if the real Sea God had come, I naturally wouldn't be a match. But you're merely a mortal borrowing the Sea God's power, your understanding of laws... too shallow."
These words were spoken without courtesy, but Bo Saixi couldn't refute them. She could sense that Bibi Dong's understanding of power had indeed embarked on another path—a path closer to the source.
"Still want to fight?" Bibi Dong asked, her tone flat yet containing unquestionable majesty.
Bo Saixi's expression fluctuated uncertainly.
Fight? How to fight? The opponent's control of laws completely crushed their own. Continuing the battle would only increase casualties.
Retreat? Where would Sea God Island's face go? What about the Angelic God Armament?
Just as she hesitated, a resounding dragon's roar suddenly came from the distant horizon.
A golden figure tore through the air, its speed extreme, arriving at the edge of the battlefield in a few breaths.
The newcomer wore golden battle armor, held a golden dragon spear, and his handsome face carried an anxious expression—it was Tang Wulin!
He glanced at the situation on the field, his gaze lingering for a moment on the heavily injured Qian Renxue, pain flashing through his eyes, then turned to Bo Saixi and said in a deep voice: "Grand Worship, please cease!"
Bo Saixi was stunned when she saw Tang Wulin, then complex emotions appeared in her eyes: "Young master, you..."
"I know everything," Tang Wulin took a deep breath, positioning himself between Qian Renxue and the Sea God Island crowd, "Father and mother are on their way. Grand Worship, please stop the attack immediately, or else... the consequences will be unimaginable."
Bo Saixi's expression changed once more.
