God Realm, Sealed Land.
Waves of divine power were transmitted out.
Chaotic, mixed... indescribable.
Over a hundred god-level powerhouses, at least second-level gods and above, were fully repairing a certain complex array space.
From inside the array, eerie dragon roars occasionally emanated, the sounds carrying anger, as if wanting to tear everything apart and destroy it.
The area controlled by the five great God Kings.
A red-haired man had traces of surprise on his face.
Due to this moment of negligence in the seal, the crack that had been mostly repaired split open again somewhat.
"Hey! Asura, are you sick!"
The Destruction God King had always been at odds with the Asura God. Seeing the Asura God dragging down the project progress, he couldn't help but get annoyed.
"Sorry, just now my inheritor in the lower realm had a bit of a problem, so I was a little distracted."
The Asura God didn't want to say much more to this powder keg, the Destruction God. Anyway, during this period, everything he did felt off.
The Destruction God's face sank slightly. Since the Asura God had apologized, and they were both God Kings, he couldn't blame him further.
At the side, Kindness and Evil had surprise flash in their eyes.
The two knew that the Asura God's inheritor was a human named Tang San, not only favored by the Asura God but also highly regarded by the Sea God side.
However, since the Asura God didn't say more, as outsiders, Kindness and Evil didn't interfere.
None of the four God Kings noticed that the Asura God's expression had changed slightly, with more contemplation than before.
"Strange... Did Tang San die?"
"No, something's off. The soul is still there, but it seems there's a bit of a problem with the soul."
"And that one called Xiao Wu, why do both of them have the Asura God's aura? This aura..."
The Asura God was utterly puzzled.
In the Sealed Land, he could only sense that Tang San had been on the brink of death, and the connection with the Asura Sword Sheath Xiao Wu had been severed for a moment.
"Poseidon, that lone star of calamity, wouldn't have messed things up for me again, would he!"
Poseidon was in confinement, but through the Sea God divine artifact and some special methods, he could still learn about the affairs of the realm.
Unlike here, where the rules were chaotic, he couldn't even know the outside situation.
He only knew that Tang San seemed to have died, then revived. Could it be Poseidon's doing?
The Asura God didn't know the specifics, but one thing was certain.
After sealing the Golden Dragon King, he needed to confirm the situation on Douluo Star.
...
Douluo Continent, Star Dou Great Forest.
Xiong Jun suddenly appeared, blocking Bo Saixi and Tang Chen, and ordered Tang Chen and Bo Saixi to hand over Da Ming and Er Ming's soul bones, which infuriated Tang San greatly.
"You two head to Sea God Island or the Star Luo Empire first; I'll cover the rear here."
Bo Saixi hesitated for a moment and said.
Both Tang Chen and Tang San's conditions were extremely poor.
Especially Tang San; in this situation, they should avoid combat as much as possible.
However, this soul beast called Xiong Jun didn't look like a decent fellow at first glance.
"Alright." Tang Chen didn't say much, knowing full well how severe his injuries were. However, as a Limit Douluo, protecting Tang San out of the forest shouldn't pose a major problem.
And Tang San's life force depletion had improved considerably after the Sky Blue Bull Python's sacrifice.
But he was still frail and easy to push over.
"Want to run? Do you think I'm Xiong Jun for nothing?"
Tang Chen leaped up, transforming into red light and accelerating toward the forest's edge. Xiong Jun immediately flew into a rage, opening his mouth to release a soul power cannon for an attack, intending to erase the two completely.
"Martial soul possession"
Bo Saixi activated her Sea God martial soul. Countless motes of moisture condensed into the shape of ropes, wrapping around Xiong Jun's joints and hindering his offensive process.
"Damn it!"
"Human, do you intend to wage war with the Star Dou Great Forest?"
"I've tried reasoning with you, asking you to hand over the soul bones, and yet you..."
"Fine, fine, fine." Xiong Jun said, laughing in extreme anger instead.
A fist that generated intense winds by friction with the air whistled toward Bo Saixi.
"This guy..."
Bo Saixi was startled. The surging seawater on her body lifted her up like a round disk, carrying her into the high air and dodging Xiong Jun's fist.
"Boom"
The fist smashed heavily into the ground. The surface hundreds of meters away immediately cracked into pieces, and even a giant rock dozens of meters high in the distance turned into rubble amid the shock, splashing everywhere.
"As expected, it's the attack power of a Limit Douluo." Bo Saixi inhaled a cold breath of air. Good thing she hadn't taken it head-on just now. With her current injuries, blocking such a purely physical attack—
Even if she could block it, problems would arise with her internal organs.
"I can only entangle him and buy Tang Chen time to escape."
Bo Saixi looked at the big oaf Xiong Jun below. As a quasi-god level powerhouse, even having lost her divine artifact and being heavily injured, as long as she was careful in the fight, nothing major would happen.
Once Tang Chen left the Star Dou Great Forest, she could successfully withdraw.
As for whether she could withdraw?
She was the Sea God Douluo, the high priest of Sea God Island.
Who could make it impossible for her to even perform a strategic retreat? How was that possible!
Thus, the clash between Bo Saixi and Xiong Jun officially began.
Bo Saixi was slippery as an eel, constantly dodging attacks, while Xiong Jun relied on his complete state to launch accelerating assaults nonstop, yet still failed to land a hit on Bo Saixi and was occasionally counterattacked.
For the moment, both sides fell into a stalemate.
On the other side.
Based on the environment along the path and the trembling soul beasts en route.
Tang Chen judged that he and Tang San were nearing the periphery of the Star Dou Great Forest.
At most an hour, and they could leave.
And Tang San seemed to have fainted.
However, his life force depletion hadn't continued, which allowed Tang Chen to breathe a sigh of relief.
Tang Chen glanced in the direction from which soul power fluctuations came; the battle between Bo Saixi and Xiong Jun was still ongoing.
"Bo Saixi, you must be careful!"
Suddenly, Tang Chen halted his steps, his entire person becoming extremely vigilant.
Crisis—the sense of crisis transmitted from a Limit Douluo's instincts.
As a Limit Douluo, he trusted such mystical matters deeply; after all, ordinary things couldn't make his heart race like this.
"Haotian Sect's Tang Chen, Tang San—you've stirred up quite the storm!"
A middle-aged man's figure appeared before Tang Chen.
Seeing that face, familiar to the extreme, Tang Chen's mouth went dry, and his expression changed drastically.
"You... how could you be here!"
Evidently, Tang Chen knew this middle-aged man.
"Hmph!" The middle-aged man's voice was ice-cold. "Tang Chen, you laid hands on my wife, and now you ask why I'm here? Don't you think you're being too presumptuous?"
"Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, do you think you've got me pinned down?" Tang Chen's face concealed a terrifying expression. He truly hadn't expected this massive whale to travel all the way to the Star Dou Great Forest.
This spelled trouble. If he were still at his peak, of course he wouldn't fear him.
But he had been running on fumes, with several battles before this.
Tang Chen suppressed the irritability at the bottom of his heart and said:
"Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, if you leave now, I, Tang Chen, swear on my martial soul: if you don't come seeking trouble with me, I won't seek trouble with you again."
"Heh, hahaha hahaha haha." The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King laughed derisively. "With just those honeyed words from your pretty mouth, I thought the one hailed as invincible on land would have some lofty principle. Turns out you're nothing but a coward who bullies the weak and fears the strong."
Around the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, purple electric arcs swirled, a terrifying pressure permeating the air.
"You want to come at me? Do you really think I'll be afraid?"
"This time, I'm here for compensation for my wife's mental anguish, and I've accepted a favor from the Star Dou Great Forest."
"Alright, hand over those two 100,000-year soul bones from the Sky Blue Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, and I'll let you leave."
"Otherwise, I'll let you test just how sharp my teeth are."
As he spoke, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King even licked his lips with his tongue.
