"Cleave!"
Like a decree from the heavens, as Bo Saixi wielded the Sea God's Trident, the colossal blue weapon, imbued with boundless might, came crashing down.
The blue trident radiated a dazzling brilliance, like a sky-piercing pillar toppling over, an oceanic deluge cascading down. Though it seemed similar to Bo Saixi's previous hundred-meter water dragon, the difference was immeasurable.
The entire trident was composed of Pure Lunar Water, a hundred meters in size. As it swung, the power of this divine water erupted.
In that instant, behind the blue trident, an endless oceanic illusion emerged—vast and boundless. It was as if an entire sea was descending, its terrifying pressure so overwhelming that even those far away on Sea God Island could feel its oppressive force.
"Gulp... Is this the power of the Sea God?"
Oscar swallowed hard, feeling the weight pressing on his chest.
They were so far away, yet they could still sense it. It was unimaginable how much pressure Chen Xiaoming was enduring on the battlefield.
Tang San's eyes flashed with shock. He had thought he had already witnessed the power of the Sea God, but now he realized the gap between mortals and gods was beyond comprehension.
"The power of the Sea God…"
Compared to Tang San and the others, the Sea Horse Douluo and his peers displayed expressions of reverence and exhilaration. At this moment, Bo Saixi's revealed strength carried the unmistakable aura of the Sea God.
This strike felt as if the Sea God himself had descended.
...
Over the ocean...
Chen Xiaoming was in a dire state. Bo Saixi had fully unleashed the Sea God's power within the trident, executing her most powerful strike.
The moment she acted, the ocean beneath him responded, as if drawn by an irresistible force. As the blue trident descended, a crushing pressure bore down from all directions, squeezing him relentlessly.
His own domain, previously released, was now blocked by a divine aura—likely Bo Saixi's original domain, but now reinforced by divine power.
Looking up at the sky, the colossal blue trident radiated overwhelming brilliance. Behind it, the sky itself seemed to transform into a vast, shimmering sea.
"The power to overturn the seas… Truly worthy of the Sea God!"
And yet, this was merely an illusion. Bo Saixi was not a true god. But with the power of the Sea God and the Sea God's Trident, she could unleash an attack of such magnitude.
Chen Xiaoming had to admit—this realm's gods were not weak.
"It's time to show my true power."
With a faint smile, a blazing silver radiance erupted from within him. The suffocating pressure that had surrounded him instantly dissipated. This time, the silver light did not spread outward but instead condensed within a three-meter radius around him.
"Emerge."
A soft yet commanding voice resonated from within the glowing sphere. In that instant, a flicker of silver light appeared behind him.
The previously empty world suddenly pulsed with a mysterious and profound aura. The very fabric of space trembled, rippling like water.
"Buzz…"
A sound of unknown origin echoed through the void. The moment it reached Bo Saixi's ears, an inexplicable sense of dread surged within her—an instinctual fear, as if she were standing before the Sea God himself, utterly powerless to resist.
"Boom!"
From within the silver radiance, the space behind Chen Xiaoming was suddenly torn apart, revealing an inky-black rift. An ancient and boundless presence seeped out from within.
"Merge!"
A sharp command echoed. Instantly, the spatial rift snapped shut, leaving only a lingering trace of silver energy in the air.
Within the sphere of light, Chen Xiaoming's face paled slightly, his aura slightly weakened. But as he gazed at the silver energy before him, a satisfied smile spread across his lips.
"Transform."
The silver light flared brilliantly. The bloodline power within Chen Xiaoming surged forth, drawing in the silver energy like a long-lost homecoming.
A phantom three-meter willow branch emerged, exuding an ancient aura. Infinite silver radiance converged into it, solidifying its form.
"Now!"
As Bo Saixi stood momentarily stunned, a thunderous roar shattered her trance. She instantly reacted, frantically channeling the Sea God's power into the trident, unleashing another devastating strike.
"Go."
Facing the overwhelming attack, Chen Xiaoming simply waved his hand. The translucent willow branch shot forward. As it moved, it carried the weight of infinite realms, bridging the boundless distance in an instant—striking the immense blue trident.
"Boom!"
The illusory ocean behind the trident trembled violently, its waves surging chaotically as if the entire sea itself was shaking.
In the next second, the blue trident was instantly pierced through. Constructed from Profound Yin Divine Water and infused with the Sea God's power, the trident disintegrated upon impact, shattering into countless specks of light before dissipating.
The willow phantom flickered and reappeared above the turbulent oceanic illusion. With a gentle touch upon the waves, the surging waters instantly returned to tranquility.
...
At the Seahorse Sacred Pillar.
"Gulp… Gulp… Gulp…"
"How… How is this possible?!"
The approaching Sea Dragon Douluo and the others were stricken with horror. The sheer power of Bo Saixi's attack was beyond anything they could withstand, and yet, it had been effortlessly neutralized.
Who was this man?!
Countless thoughts raced through their minds, but the sheer impossibility of the scene had left them unable to think.
Seahorse Douluo glanced at Sea Dragon Douluo and the others beside him and let out a deep sigh of relief.
"Finally, it's not just me being shocked this time. Good timing!"
This time, not only were Sea Dragon Douluo and the others astonished—even Tang San, Dai Mubai, and their companions widened their eyes in disbelief.
They had personally felt the devastating power of Bo Saixi's attack. And yet, that very attack had been so effortlessly neutralized by Chen Xiaoming.
It was only now that Tang San and the others fully understood—when Chen Xiaoming had spoken of no longer fearing gods, he had meant every word.
A mortal… standing shoulder to shoulder with the divine!
In that moment, Tang San wasn't the only one who realized it.
Across the sea, Bo Saixi herself was struck with the same realization.
The divine radiance surrounding her had dissipated. In her hands, the Sea God's Trident, now riddled with cracks, retained only a fraction of its former brilliance—just enough for her to hold it.
She gazed at Chen Xiaoming, still shrouded in silver light, and found herself at a loss for words.
She had lost.
Utterly, completely, irredeemably lost.
Facing Chen Xiaoming's final strike, she had been utterly powerless. That single blow had carried the force of an entire world. If its target had been her, rather than her weapon—
Bo Saixi wasn't sure if the Sea God's Light could have protected her.
Probably not.
As the silver radiance gradually faded, the willow phantom disappeared as well.
Chen Xiaoming's figure emerged once more. His silver eyes gleamed with an imperial brilliance, his presence exuding an aura of absolute dominion.
He, Chen Xiaoming—Unrivaled Across the World!
