Chapter 385: When Gods Fight, Mortals Suffer?
The next second, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's massive tail, comparable in size to a giant island, whipped up from beneath the sea surface with terrifying power that crushed the Void and overturned mountains and seas!
The seawater stirred up by its tail rolled back like a celestial curtain, and within that torrential water curtain, a blue-purple fan-shaped radiance shot out from its tail, resembling a tangible tide of destruction!
This was not a pure physical strike, but a composite attack of lightning and deep-sea energy infused with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's million-year cultivation!
That blue-purple fan-shaped radiance expanded rapidly, covering a large expanse of the sky where Tang Chuan was located. Wherever it passed, the air let out a piercing shriek, being forcibly torn apart and ionized, even generating a layer of finely jumping black spatial lightning along the edges of the radiance!
This was evidence of energy intensity high enough to shake spatial stability, its power far surpassing ordinary ten thousand-year Martial Soul Abilities!
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's strike clearly intended to use area-of-effect annihilation to instantly obliterate the annoying fly that was Tang Chuan, along with the surrounding space!
Facing this fan-shaped attack imbued with violent lightning and deep-sea power, a sharp gleam flashed in Tang Chuan's eyes. He did not choose to meet its edge head-on, nor did he immediately summon the golden dragon spear for a direct confrontation. Instead, he activated the ten thousand-year Soul Bone Soul skills, Invincible Golden Body.
A dazzling golden light instantly erupted around him!
That golden light was not a dissipation of Soul Power, but instantly condensed on Tang Chuan's body surface into a golden film, thin as a cicada's wing, yet seemingly forged from the purest diamond!
The film flowed, covering his entire body, even dyeing the golden dragon spear in his hand with a faint golden hue. Immediately, a profound Aura of invulnerability to all methods and indestructibility permeated the area!
It happened in an instant!
The blue-purple fan of destruction, accompanied by the screech of tearing air and jumping black spatial lightning, arrived with a roar, completely engulfing Tang Chuan's figure!
"Boom—!!!"
The blue-purple energy torrent violently collided with the golden film!
Amidst the deafening explosion, blinding light illuminated half the night sky, and rampant energy turbulence scattered outwards, blasting countless giant craters into the sea surface below again!
However, at the center of that destructive energy, the thin golden film remained unmoving like a reef in a raging torrent! No matter how fiercely the blue-purple lightning raged or how the black lightning jumped and eroded, neither could penetrate the golden light in the slightest!
Invincible Golden Body grants immunity to all physical and energy attacks for a certain duration!
This was a defensive divine skill that could be called bug-like!
"What is that skill?"
"Kid, who exactly are you?"
Witnessing this scene, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's only remaining yellow eye showed clear astonishment for the first time, speaking in human words.
Its enraged strike, powerful enough to severely injure or even instantly kill an ordinary Super Douluo, was blocked by the opponent so easily, in a manner that was almost dismissive?
What was that golden light? Why was it so sturdy?
"Deep Sea Demon Whale King! A million-year Spirit Beast, Overlord of the Ocean, whose left eye was blinded by the Sea God Trident... Am I correct?"
Hearing this, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, which was about to attack again, suddenly paused. Fierce light flickered in its sole remaining yellow eye, staring intently at Tang Chuan with suspicion and thunderous rage, "You... know me? Are you someone sent by that old fellow Poseidon?!"
Its voice was filled with ingrained hatred and apprehension.
"Sea God?" Suspended in mid-air, Tang Chuan pointed the golden dragon spear towards the sea surface and said lightly, "I have no connection with the Sea God, nor was I sent by anyone to come here today. I just... want to borrow something from you."
"Borrow something?" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was stunned. Its simple mind could not comprehend why this human would make such an absurd request during a life-and-death struggle.
"What do you want to borrow?"
Tang Chuan's voice was clear and cold, every word striking the Demon Whale King's heart like a heavy hammer, "Your Soul Ring and Soul Bone."
"Roar—!!!!"
After a brief dead silence, a roar far more violent and hysterical than any before erupted. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was utterly enraged!
This was no longer simple provocation, but a declaration of war and utter contempt!
That mere Soul Douluo dared to treat it, the Overlord that had dominated the ocean for a million-years, as something whose Soul Ring and Soul Bone could be casually hunted?!
"Arrogant human!! Die!!!"
All suspicion and apprehension were burned to ashes by boundless fury!
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King held nothing back, suddenly opening its massive mouth and spewing a deep purple beam of destruction, like an apocalyptic spear, hurtling towards Tang Chuan!
The temperature at the core of the light beam was incredibly high, instantly vaporizing the surrounding seawater into thick white steam!
Facing this full-power, enraged strike, there was no fear in Tang Chuan's eyes; instead, a sharp glint of successful scheming flashed through them.
Enraging the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and making it lose its reason was part of Tang Chuan's plan!
"Good timing!"
Tang Chuan let out a low shout, advancing instead of retreating. He shook the golden dragon spear in his right hand, its shaft swirling with golden light, ready to strike. Simultaneously, his left arm suddenly erupted with a powerful cyan-black light, and an ancient Aura carrying the majesty of lightning permeated the air!
"Azure Bull Python Left Arm Bone Soul skills: Sky Azure Annihilation Lightning!"
Lifting his left arm slightly, he spread his five fingers and clenched them forcefully towards the roaring purple light beam!
"Kacha—!!!"
As if the Thunder God of the Nine Heavens was enraged!
A massive pillar of pure cyan lightning, over five meters in diameter, erupted from the front of Tang Chuan's left arm out of thin air, without any warning!
Within the lightning pillar, the faint shadow of a majestic cyan bull python could be vaguely seen coiling and roaring, carrying the terrifying might of annihilating all things and purging evil, fiercely meeting the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's purple light beam!
That wasn't all!
At the exact moment the Sky Azure Annihilation Lightning was unleashed, the profound red Eighth Soul Ring beneath Tang Chuan's feet also erupted with an unprecedented, brilliant light!
"Eighth Spirit Ability—Blue Silver Azure Dragon Soul!"
"Roar—!!!"
A dragon roar seemingly from the primeval wilderness echoed across the cosmos!
Behind Tang Chuan, the massive Blue Silver Emperor phantom did not appear. Instead, a phantom of an Azure Dragon, over a hundred meters long and covered entirely in cyan-gold scales, manifested!
This Azure Dragon was not a pure energy body, but a combination containing the vast life force of the Blue Silver Emperor and a certain supreme Dragon Clan will. It was majestic and divine, yet carried the ceaseless vitality of the Plant Emperor!
Immediately, the Azure Dragon phantom roared and dove fiercely towards Tang Chuan's body, instantly enveloping and fusing with his entire person, including the golden dragon spear in his hand!
In an instant, Tang Chuan's figure vanished.
In the vision of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's sole remaining eye, only a lifelike cyan giant dragon remained in the sky! Its dragon might was overwhelming, its Aura surging to the heavens, in no way inferior to its own million-year sea beast status!
The amplification was still not finished!
Hovering not far away, hidden within the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, Ning Rongrong saw this and immediately released her Martial Soul, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Six streams of colored light transformed into astonishing long rainbows, shining upon Tang Chuan, causing the azure light emanating from him to suddenly expand until his entire body became invisible. In the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's single eye, the only thing visible was an Azure Dragon descending from the sky, rushing straight toward him.
The next second, two attacks, representing different tiers yet both terrifyingly absolute, collided violently upon the Raging Sea Waves and under the bright moonlit sky, like two runaway meteors!
"Rumble—!!!!!!!!"
A terrifying explosion, indescribable by any language, occurred!
At that moment, it was as if the heavens and earth were first created, or perhaps the Universe returned to silence! Azure and purple light fiercely clashed, annihilated, and exploded, forming a destructive sphere of energy with a diameter exceeding one thousand meters!
Inside the sphere of light, space shattered inch by inch, revealing the terrifying, Dark Void behind it!
The shockwave spread spherically, instantly compressing the seawater over a range of several thousand meters into a massive hemispherical depression, which then immediately generated a Tsunami thousands of meters high, sweeping wildly in all directions!
At the core of the explosion, chaotic energy raged, and the light was so blinding it was impossible to look directly at it.
Only an extremely painful, extremely furious whale roar, and a clear, piercing dragon cry, faintly intertwined amidst the destructive roar... The terrifying power of this impact had long surpassed the limits that area of the sea could bear.
The destructive energy shockwave did not just rage at the point of collision.
It spread outwards in a ring from the collision point, carrying unimaginable kinetic energy and turbulent Soul Power, rushing in all directions, especially along the sea surface!
The first thing to arrive was the dull, massive sound that shook the Earth's Crust.
Even in Vast Sea City, hundreds of miles away, although it was late at night and most residents were asleep, the entire city, along with the mountains it leaned against, suddenly shook violently!
It was not an ordinary earthquake; it felt more like a gigantic hand had fiercely slapped the Foundation of the land and ocean from the distant sea to the west!
Houses swayed, beams groaned, and roof tiles rattled down.
People awakened from their sleep scrambled out of their beds, bewildered and fearful.
Immediately following was the strange light that illuminated half the night sky for several breaths.
Where the western sea met the sky, a dazzling blue-purple sphere of light first expanded. Even from such a great distance, it still clearly illuminated the outlines of the western city walls and buildings of Vast Sea City, as if dawn had arrived early, yet carrying an ominous beauty and an Aura of destruction.
However, this light and shaking were merely the prelude to disaster.
The real terror followed closely behind.
Roughly half a cup of tea time after the shaking and light subsided, the soldiers stationed on the towering western coastal watchtowers of Vast Sea City, and some residents who were awakened and climbed onto roofs or high places, witnessed a scene that would haunt them for life, causing their Souls to fly away and their Martial Souls to scatter: the western horizon, which had been calm, was gone.
In its place stood a black high wall connecting the heavens and the sea!
That was not clouds, nor an ordinary giant wave; it was a super Tsunami formed by the terrifying collision energy directly pushing and sweeping along countless masses of seawater!
From a distance, the height of the wave wall appeared equal to the city wall, but as it approached with astonishing speed, one could feel the desperate pressure as if the entire ocean was about to overturn!
"Tsu... Tsunami?!!!"
"Heavens! Run!!!"
"The Sea God is angry—!!!"
Screeching, distorted alarms and desperate cries instantly tore through the night sky, but they sounded so faint and powerless before this might of heaven and earth.
"BOOM—!!!!!!"
The first and most terrifying crest of the wave struck the heavy city wall of Vast Sea City, which was reputed to withstand tides, like a giant whip wielded by a deity!
The city wall, built twenty meters high with solid bluestone, was like a sandcastle built by children before this power that surpassed natural limits! The moment it made contact, the outermost giant stones were smashed to dust! Immediately after, the violent seawater, like countless giant hammers, found the gaps in the city wall, the city gates, and the relatively weaker sections, surging in, crashing, and tearing them apart!
"Crack! Rumble—!"
A section of the wall over fifty meters long collapsed with a deafening roar!
Giant stones mixed with seawater turned into a torrent of destruction, rushing into the city!
The seawater did not stop there.
After the first giant wave came continuous subsequent impacts, each one higher than the last.
The towering seawater poured into Vast Sea City like a maddened giant beast, rushing through the gaps in the city wall, over the low-lying street buildings, and through every possible entry point!
The western district, being at a lower elevation, bore the brunt of the impact.
The roaring seawater swept through the streets with irresistible force, easily smashing down wooden shop doors, carrying away vendors' goods that hadn't been collected in time, and engulfing unprepared residents along with their furniture. Stone structures swayed precariously under the repeated assault of the flood, eventually collapsing in swathes, kicking up larger splashes and desperate cries for help.
The seawater rapidly spread along the crisscrossing streets, soon submerging more than half the district.
The murky seawater, laden with silt, broken planks, debris, and even animal carcasses, charged wildly through the once prosperous marketplace.
The port area was completely destroyed.
Ships anchored there, regardless of size, were smashed to pieces, overturned by the giant waves, or simply washed ashore, mixing with the shattered dock facilities in the face of such a massive Tsunami.
This sudden Tsunami, a residual effect of the Peak confrontation hundreds of miles away, brought near-devastating damage to Vast Sea City.
This premier port on the western fringe of the continent, this prosperous seaside city, was left scarred overnight, submerged in bitter seawater and endless sorrow.
Truly, when gods fight, Mortals suffer!
Meanwhile, on Sea God Island, at the Sea God Temple.
Eternal Holy Light shone down softly, illuminating the majestic Sea God statue and High Priestess standing before it. She wore a long red robe, her water-blue hair cascading like a waterfall, her exquisite face bearing a tranquility and depth as if time itself had solidified.
However, just then.
High Priestess's eyes, resembling the purest deep sea, suddenly snapped open!
The tranquility was instantly shattered, and she immediately turned her head toward the distant sea in the northwest—that forbidden area known as the Magic Whale Sea Region, a place even Sea God Island rarely ventured!
Just a moment ago, an energy fluctuation so intense it made her Soul tremble violently had burst into her perception like a massive stone thrown into calm deep water!
The terror and violence of that fluctuation far surpassed the battles of ordinary Titled Douluo!
"Such a terrifying energy collision... It's the Deep Sea Demon Whale King! Who is the other party? They can actually contend head-on with the Demon Whale King's million-year cultivation?"
Just then, a streak of red light wavered and landed on Sea God Island.
