Chapter 214: Divine Artifact Suppresses the Sea, Demon Empress Executed
In the Deep Sea Battlefield, chaotic energy currents had completely reshaped this sea area.
The dark red sea of blood and the azure divine light intertwined like two furious pythons, violently clashing and annihilating each other. Every collision triggered terrifying scenes of collapsing underwater mountains and tearing seabeds.
The Demon Empress's thousand-meter-long dark blue body churned in the sea of blood. Every tail whip and every claw swipe carried destructive energy at the Second-Tier God tier, evaporating the surrounding seawater into void-like holes.
The Sea Princess's figure was as agile as a swimming fish, darting through the gaps in the violent attacks.
A faint blue divine light barrier enveloped her, a shield spontaneously condensed by the laws of the ocean. Although it flickered precariously under the Demon Empress's fierce assault, it always managed to block fatal impacts.
Her fighting style was completely different from before—no longer relying on immense divine power for direct confrontation, but rather utilizing every bit of divine power to its utmost.
"Condense."
She lightly pointed her slender finger, and the surging blood waves and demonic shadows rushing towards her instantly froze, turning into ice-blue crystals, which she then shattered with a wave of her hand.
"Disperse."
As her thought willed it, the corrosive energy breath spat out by the Demon Empress spontaneously divided and disintegrated ten zhang before reaching her, merging into the surrounding seawater and silently purified by the vast ocean's essence.
"Shift."
Her figure flickered, merging into a suddenly appearing undercurrent the moment the Demon Empress's giant claw struck, reappearing hundreds of meters away. At the same time, she triggered another undercurrent to strike the Demon Empress's body from the side. Although it caused no substantial damage, it successfully disrupted the opponent's attack rhythm.
The more she fought, the clearer and deeper the Sea Princess's eyes, like ocean whirlpools, became.
That trace of awkwardness and sluggishness from first ascending to the God Position quickly faded under the high-pressure tempering of life-and-death combat. Her understanding and application of the "Sea God" authority were deepening and becoming proficient at an astonishing speed.
She began to truly understand what it meant to "govern all seas."
It was not simply and crudely summoning seawater for attack, but a resonance between her mind and the entire ocean—every drop of seawater was her eye, her ear, her tentacle; every ebb and flow of the tide was her breath; every ocean current's direction was her pulse.
She was no longer fighting alone, but standing shoulder to shoulder with the life and will of the entire ocean.
"So that's it..." The Sea Princess's heart surged with understanding. "What the God Position bestows is not just power, but 'qualification' and 'perspective.' To listen, to understand, to guide this boundless azure as the Lord of the Ocean."
Her movements became more composed, and her responses to the Demon Empress's frenzied attacks flowed like water. The Third-Rank Deity's divine power, in her hands, displayed a might far exceeding her realm.
She no longer passively defended but began to counterattack with exquisite control of laws. At times, she condensed water into needles, specifically targeting the weak points of the Demon Empress's protective divine power; at other times, she triggered tremors in the seabed's ley lines, disrupting her balance; and sometimes, she manifested countless seawater clones, intertwining illusion and reality, causing the Demon Empress's attacks to repeatedly miss.
"Damn loach! Do you only know how to hide?!" The Demon Empress grew increasingly furious as her attacks failed to land.
Malice surged in her crimson giant eyes. She no longer held back, and vast divine power gushed out without restraint.
"Nether Blood Purgatory, Myriad Demons Devour the Heavens!"
She let out a soul-rending shriek. The entire blood sea domain suddenly contracted and solidified, transforming into a viscous, tangible blood-colored sphere with a diameter of only a hundred li, completely sealing off the Sea Princess and the surrounding sea area within.
Inside the blood sphere, space seemed to solidify, and the seawater was completely expelled, leaving only pure evil divine power and countless wailing demon souls. The Demon Empress's true form was hidden in the center of the blood sphere, her aura integrated with the entire domain, omnipresent yet untraceable.
"Here, this Empress is the sovereign! Be... annihilated!" Countless dark red tentacles, condensed from pure evil energy, simultaneously pierced out from all sides of the blood sphere's inner wall. Each tentacle carried terrifying power capable of penetrating a divine body, sealing off all evasion space for the Sea Princess. At the same time, a heavy soul pressure, like billions of tons of mountains, crushed down upon her divine consciousness.
This was the Demon Empress's domain killing move, combining spatial lockdown, energy suppression, and soul impact. An ordinary Third-Rank Deity trapped within it would likely have their divine body collapse and divine soul annihilated in less than a breath.
The pressure was unprecedentedly immense.
The Sea Princess's azure divine light was compressed to within three feet of her body, violently fluctuating as if it could shatter at any moment. The omnipresent evil energy erosion and soul impact made her exquisitely beautiful face turn slightly pale.
However, her eyes grew even brighter, like the most dazzling pearls in the deep sea.
"Almost there," she murmured to herself.
After this high-intensity battle, her control over her God Position and her comprehension of the laws of the ocean had reached a new height. The initial awkwardness of ascending to the God Position had completely vanished, replaced by a sense of effortless mastery.
The time had come.
Facing the deadly tentacles assailing her from all directions and the crushing soul pressure, the Sea Princess no longer evaded or used clever tactics to overcome force.
She slowly closed her eyes.
It was not a surrender, but rather a complete immersion of her mind into the deepest connection with this vast ocean.
The moment she closed her eyes, the three-dimensional emblem on her glabella, representing the authority of the Sea God, suddenly erupted with an unprecedentedly brilliant blue light!
"Buzz—!"
A strange resonance, as if originating from the very essence of the ocean, boomed outwards from her.
The blood sphere domain, originally viscous and solidified, filled with evil energy, trembled violently under this resonance, as if encountering suppression and repulsion from a higher-tier authority.
At the same time, below the Sea Princess's fair neck, at the center of her chest, a gentle, azure light, as if condensed from all the essence of the world's seawater, quietly lit up.
The light was initially faint, but it carried an indescribable ancient and sacred aura, as if the heart of the ocean, having slept for eons, was now awakening.
It was precisely the tear of the mermaid, the supreme treasure that accompanied her birth and growth, carrying the blessings and power of successive princesses of the Merfolk Clan.
However, at this moment, it was no longer merely a hereditary token symbolizing the identity of the Merfolk Princess.
The moment the Sea Princess gathered the Power Of Faith from the vast ocean and forged the sea god divine position, this pearl, which had accompanied her for hundreds of thousands of years, formed the deepest resonance and connection with the nascent godhead.
Washed by the Power Of Faith, blessed by the godhead's imprint, nurtured by the ocean's essence... under multiple influences, it had already undergone a fundamental transformation!
"Whoosh la la..."
The sound of billions of tons of seawater rushing past seemed to echo in her ears.
The tear of the mermaid slowly floated out from the Sea Princess's chest, hovering before her.
Its form had undergone an earth-shattering change. It was no longer the gentle pearl it once was, but had transformed into a tear-shaped crystal, about the size of a fist, completely translucent like the purest sapphire.
Inside the crystal, it seemed to contain a miniature, eternally flowing vast sea of stars, or perhaps it concentrated the essence and will of the entire Douluo ocean. Countless intricate and profound dark blue divine patterns naturally flowed across its surface, exuding a magnificent divine might that was both captivating and awe-inspiring.
The sea gods tear!
Completely transformed from the tear of the mermaid, perfectly bound to the sea god divine position, carrying the authority of the ocean and the faith of all beings—a great divine artifact!
The moment the sea gods tear appeared, the entire blood sphere domain let out an unbearable groan, and the Demon Empress's consciousness, hidden in the core of the domain, let out a muffled grunt of extreme horror.
"This is... a great divine artifact?! How is this possible?! You've only just become a god!" The Demon Empress's voice was filled with disbelieving panic.
The Sea Princess slowly opened her eyes.
Her eyes were no longer deep ocean whirlpools, but had transformed into two boundless, calm sea surfaces reflecting myriad azure waves. She gazed at the sea gods tear floating before her, her gaze gentle yet firm, like a mother watching her most precious child.
"Born from faith, existing to protect," she murmured softly, as if declaring to the entire ocean, "Today, with the thoughts of these myriad beings of the vast ocean, I shall cleanse evil and restore clarity to the great sea."
As her voice fell, she extended her slender jade hand and gently grasped the sea gods tear.
"Boom—!!!"
An indescribable, vast power erupted from the sea gods tear!
That was not the Sea Princess's own Third-Rank Deity's divine power, but the boundless primordial power of the ocean, gathered from all oceans of the entire Douluo Plane, channeled through this great divine artifact bound to her God Position as a medium!
The vastness of the East Sea, the profundity of the West Sea, the fervor of the South Sea, the frigidity of the North Sea, the immensity of the endless ocean... the power of all sea regions, as if hearing the summons of their monarch, transcended spatial barriers, converging madly along the unseen threads of faith and the Veins of laws!
"Sea—Hear—My—Command!"
The Sea Princess's voice was no longer ethereal, but became incredibly grand and majestic, as if billions of tides roared simultaneously, echoing deep within the soul of every marine creature!
Her hand, grasping the sea gods tear, slowly lifted, aimed at the blood-colored sphere that imprisoned her, and the Demon Empress's true form hidden within.
There were no complex moves, no dazzling lights and shadows.
Just a simple, forward-pushing motion.
However, it was this seemingly understated push—
"Crack... Boom!!!"
The entire blood sphere domain, as if squeezed from within by billions of tons of heavy water, exploded with a roar, unable to withstand even a single breath!
The viscous evil energy and wailing demon souls, before this pure primordial torrent representing the will of the entire ocean, melted and evaporated instantly like ice and snow under the sun, leaving not a trace.
The Demon Empress's true form, hidden in the core of the domain, was struck head-on as if by an invisible giant hammer.
"Puff—!"
Her massive body trembled violently, the incredibly sturdy dark blue scales on her body shattered inch by inch, the purple-black demonic patterns dimmed and annihilated, and her crimson giant eyes were filled with endless fear and despair.
She tried to struggle, tried to mobilize all her divine power to resist, but before the mighty power representing the wrath of the entire ocean, her Second-Tier God power seemed so insignificant, so vulnerable.
"No!!! This Empress is unwilling! This Empress is a million-year... is..." The Demon Empress let out a shrill and unwilling roar, but her voice was quickly drowned out by the vast sound of the ocean tide.
The Sea Princess's gaze was cold and unwavering. She gently clenched the hand holding the sea gods tear.
"Suppress."
Her words became law, and all seas responded. Endless azure divine power surged out from the sea gods tear, not as chaotic impact, but transforming into countless crystalline, yet star-heavy deep-sea chains, which instantly pierced, coiled around, and tightly bound the Demon Empress's shattered body!
Each chain contained the characteristics of different sea regions. They intertwined into an inescapable net of laws, not only imprisoning the Demon Empress's divine body but also beginning to frantically purify and strip away the foul evil divine power within her.
"Roar—!!!" The Demon Empress let out a final roar, mixed with pain and venomous hatred, struggling desperately but in vain. Her body began to rapidly disintegrate and dissipate under the strangulation and purification of the deep-sea chains, like a sandcastle facing a tsunami.
The Sea Princess no longer looked at her, but cast her gaze upwards, as if piercing through layers of seawater to see the vast, boundless azure that awaited her protection.
She slowly released her grip on the sea gods tear.
The tear-shaped crystal did not fall but floated in the air, its miniature sea of stars inside suddenly blazing with light.
"In the name of the Sea God."
Her voice was calm yet vast, echoing across all sea regions.
"I judge this fiend; both body and soul shall perish."
As she pronounced her judgment, all the deep-sea chains piercing the Demon Empress suddenly tightened, erupting with their final purifying divine light.
The Demon Empress's hideous head snapped up, her crimson giant eyes staring fixedly at the Sea Princess, filled with endless venomous hatred and unwillingness, as if she still wanted to utter a final curse.
However, before her voice could escape, her entire body completely vanished into nothingness within the brilliant azure divine light.
Not even a speck of dust, not a wisp of remnant soul, was left behind.
Only the sea gods tear remained quietly suspended, emitting a soft and eternal glow, reflecting the Sea Princess's beautiful and majestic countenance, and also reflecting this deep ocean, which had returned to peace yet was completely renewed.
The Demon Empress, transformed from the million-year Deep Sea Demon Whale King, was executed on the day the Sea God returned, beneath the great divine artifact wielded by the nascent Sea God—the sea gods tear.
From then on, the vast ocean had a new, true guardian.
The vast ocean, from then on, had a new, true guardian.
