"Why..."
Why are you here?!
Tang San suddenly took a step forward, his divine power becoming extremely violent due to the intense fluctuations in his emotions.
"You are the high priest of Poseidon Island!"
"You are a servant of the sea god!"
"How could you associate with these remnants of the Spirit Hall and people from the Jixia Academy?!"
Tang San felt a surge of heat rush to his head.
betray!
This is blatant betrayal!
How much hardship did he endure to pass the test?
He always regarded Poseidon as an elder and a protector on his path to godhood.
But now, this protector is standing on the opposite side!
On the city wall.
Poseidon looked at Tang San, whose face was contorted in the air, and a complex expression flashed in her eyes.
But soon, that hint of complexity turned into indifference.
She sighed softly, her voice not loud, but it carried clearly throughout the room.
"Tang San".
"Seagod Island has already submitted to Jixia Academy."
"A good bird chooses a good tree to perch on."
"Dean Qianyu's magnanimity and spirit are beyond your reach."
These words struck Tang San's heart like a series of heavy blows.
submission?
A wise bird chooses its tree to perch on.
That's his Poseidon Island!
That's his legacy!
How could that Qianyu have stolen our home?
"You bastard!"
"You bastard!!"
Tang San roared to the sky, his eyes bloodshot.
"Poseidon! You have betrayed the sea god!"
You betrayed me!
"Since you are so stubborn and willing to be Qianyu's lackey..."
Tang San suddenly raised the Trident of the Sea God, its tip pointing directly at Poseidon, his voice filled with piercing hatred.
"Then today, I will cleanse the house for the Sea God!"
"Kill you too!"
"Cleanse the house for the Sea God? You think you're worthy?"
Li Bai tilted his head back and took a swig of strong liquor. The spicy liquid rolled down his throat. He casually wiped his mouth and twirled his Green Lotus Sword in a beautiful flourish.
Faced with the trident of Poseidon, which was powerful enough to crush mountains, the sword immortal did not retreat at all, but instead seemed to have seen some interesting toy.
Upon hearing this, Tang San's anger ignited his divine power, and the blue-gold light on his Sea God Armor shone brilliantly. Without saying another word, he swung his trident, imbued with the power of the raging sea, down at Li Bai.
This strike is called "A Thousand Years of Empty Space".
There were no fancy techniques involved; it was pure, absolute power driven by divine force. Space itself groaned under the weight of the halberd's blade, and large black spatial cracks spread like a spider web.
On the city wall of Jialing Pass, Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others held their breath. Even from a distance, the divine power still made them feel suffocated.
However, Li Bai, who was at the center of the storm, simply laughed loudly.
"Let's drink, don't stop!"
Just as the trident was about to touch the hem of his clothes, Li Bai's figure vanished without warning.
It wasn't a fleeting afterimage left by high-speed movement, but a true disappearance into thin air.
Tang San's determined strike slammed into empty air. The immense momentum caused him to stagger, and then the violent divine power crashed into the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.
"Here I am, Lord Sea God."
A mocking voice came from behind Tang San.
Tang San's pupils shrank sharply, and the Sea God's divine sense instantly locked onto what was behind him. He then swept his halberd horizontally with a backhand motion.
"Unsettled and turbulent!"
Rings of blue-gold light shot out; this was the only control skill among the Thirteen Forms of Poseidon, and once it hit, even a god could not escape.
But the halo passed through Li Bai's body as if it were passing through a wisp of air.
Afterimage!
"You're too green to fight me with your sword."
A glint of cold light appeared first, followed by sword energy like a dragon.
Li Bai's figure suddenly appeared above Tang San's head, and the Azure Lotus Sword in his hand transformed into a sky full of azure light, instantly enveloping Tang San's entire body.
"Azure Lotus Sword Song!"
Swish swish swish swish—!
The dense, slicing sounds of sword blades cutting together were a continuous chorus; it was the sword moving at extreme speed.
Each sword aura contained extreme sharpness, ignoring the defense of the Sea God's Divine Armor and directly cutting through the blue-gold armor.
"ah--!"
Tang San let out a cry of pain as he was struck down from the sky like a meteorite.
A loud bang.
A deep crater was smashed into the ground in front of Jialing Pass. As the dust settled, the scene inside was revealed.
The entire room fell silent.
Just moments ago, the arrogant and domineering Sea God Tang San was kneeling at the bottom of the pit, his Sea God armor covered with fine sword marks, and golden divine blood flowed out from the gaps in the armor, staining the ground red.
Li Bai, however, remained suspended in mid-air, dressed in white, pure and spotless.
He even had the leisure to pick up the wine gourd and take a sip, his eyes filled with disappointment as he looked at Tang San.
"He collapsed already?"
"You're already done for before I even tried?"
These two seemingly casual words were more lethal than the sword energy from before, instantly turning Tang San's face a deep purplish-red.
At the Shrek camp, everyone was like a duck with its neck choked, unable to utter a sound.
Oscar dropped the sausage in his hand to the ground, and Dai Mubai's evil eyes widened in disbelief at the scene before him.
"How is this possible..."
"Xiao San is a god! He's a god who inherited the dual divine positions of the Sea God and the Asura God!"
"That Li Bai is only level 98, isn't he? He's not even a level 99 Peerless Douluo yet, how could he possibly beat up the mistress?"
Ma Hongjun even rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was under some kind of illusion.
Ning Rongrong's face was deathly pale, and the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda in her hand dimmed.
She had just tried to amplify Tang San's power, but found that her support soul skill couldn't keep up with Li Bai's speed at all. That feeling of powerlessness made her feel desperate.
Yu Xiaogang was no longer as spirited as before; he gripped the railing tightly, his knuckles turning white.
"Impossible... This goes against the common sense of the Soul Master world!"
"The gap between gods and humans should be an insurmountable chasm; how could it possibly be crossed?"
"What kind of soul skill did Li Bai use? Why couldn't even the Sea God's divine sense lock onto him?"
On the battlefield, Li Bai looked down at the disheveled Tang San, a carefree smile playing on his lips.
"god?"
"In the eyes of Jixia Academy, gods are nothing more than slightly stronger prey."
...
Deep within the palace of the Sea Moon Empire.
On that extremely luxurious bed, Qian Yu leaned lazily against the soft pillows, with a light screen floating in front of him that only he could see.
The screen displayed the scene in front of Jialing Pass.
Seeing Tang San being made a fool of by Li Bai, Qian Yu was not surprised, and even found it a little boring.
Li Bai's mechanics are inherently fluid and agile. With the added bonus of the Golden List reward, dealing with Tang San, who has just become a god, has an unstable foundation, and only knows how to use brute force, is incredibly easy.
"This is what they call the chosen one of the planes?"
Qianyu casually picked up a crystal-clear grape from the plate next to her, put it in her mouth, and put it in a calm expression.
