And at this moment...
The moment Mega Rayquaza and Primal Kyogre appeared, time and space seemed to freeze.
The emerald divine dragon coiled above the clouds, its body's elegance and majesty resembling the manifestation of the Laws of the sky;
The deep blue giant whale suspended above the earth, its physique's vastness and antiquity seemingly reflecting the will of the primal ocean.
They were not simple energy phantoms; their very existence was rewriting the surrounding physical rules.
The air formed violent currents with every breath of Rayquaza, and the earth rippled invisibly from Kyogre's low roar!
As for Gu Qi before them...
At this moment, he felt as insignificant as an ant.
No, even less than an ant!
He had killed countless people in his life, his hands stained with the blood of the innocent, and had seen all kinds of powerhouses and Spirits.
He had fought with a Rank 90 Titled Douluo and bowed before the high-level members of the Holy Spirit Cult.
He thought he had long grown accustomed to so-called'strength'.
But everything before his eyes completely overturned his perception!
His proud Rank 85 spirit power, before these two Divine Beasts, was like a drop of water in the vast ocean—insignificant and utterly laughable.
The 'Ghost Infant Banner' Spirit in his hand was currently letting out a shrill wail to the extreme.
The hundreds of twisted infant faces on the banner's surface were no longer filled with resentment and ferocity, but pure, heartfelt fear!
They seemed to see their final destination, seeing the divine punishment descending from the heavens to completely purify and erase them from the world!
"No... impossible..."
Gu Qi's teeth were chattering wildly, his body shaking like a sieve, making even standing up incredibly difficult.
His legs went weak, and he uncontrollably fell to his knees with a 'thud,' his cloudy eyeballs almost bulging out of their sockets.
"This... what is this thing? You're just a brat, how is this possible?"
He roared like a madman, his mental defenses instantly collapsing before this incomprehensible pressure.
Everything he was proud of—his cultivation, his Spirit, his evil secret techniques—had become a huge joke at this moment.
On the other side, Snow Empress, witnessing all this with her own eyes, was also deeply shocked.
Her ice-blue eyes watched Mega Rayquaza in the sky and Primal Kyogre on the ground without blinking, her small mouth slightly agape, showing her inner turmoil.
As a Vicious Beast who had lived for seven hundred thousand years and once ruled the Extreme North Land, her vision was far beyond that of a human Spirit Master like Gu Qi.
She could more clearly perceive the essence of these two existences.
"No matter how I look at it, it still feels so absurd..." she couldn't help but mutter to herself.
Although it wasn't the first time she had seen it, she still couldn't understand why a human's Spirit would take this form and possess such power.
And what she found most inconceivable was that Liu Yuan's current spirit power Rank had clearly only just broken through Rank 60!
Logically, Liu Yuan was only Rank 60; no matter how abnormal he was, there should be a 'limit' to it.
But the feeling these two Divine Beasts gave her completely broke this rule!
Judging by her seven hundred thousand years of cultivation, whether it was the divine dragon in the sky or the giant whale on the ground, the energy fluctuations and sense of life-level they emitted were almost catching up to the top-tier Vicious Beasts in the Core Circle of the Star Dou Great Forest who had cultivated for two or three hundred thousand years!
This was completely unreasonable.
...
Just as Snow Empress's heart was racing, Gu Qi, who had been completely scared out of his wits, fled directly!
Facing these two terrifying Divine Beasts, he no longer had any Battle Intent.
His only thought now was to escape from here, the further the better!
"Blood Escape Great Technique!"
Gu Qi let out a shrill scream, and his body exploded with a 'bang,' turning into a thick cloud of blood mist that shot towards the depths of the dense forest at a speed that broke his limits!
This was his trump card survival skill, which had helped him escape from the pursuit of Titled Douluos many times.
However, before the overlord of the sky, what did his speed amount to?
"You want to leave?"
Liu Yuan snorted coldly.
In the sky, Mega Rayquaza's golden dragon pupils flickered slightly, indifferently locking onto the rapidly moving blood mist.
"Extreme Speed."
Liu Yuan issued the command.
The emerald dragon body coiled in the clouds swayed gently.
Whoosh—!
A green stream of light instantly appeared on the escape route of the blood mist.
Immediately after, a section of the massive dragon tail covered in emerald-like scales patted down casually in a manner that seemed slow but was actually extremely fast.
Boom!!!
The moment the blood mist contacted the dragon tail, it was forced back into human form by the terrifying power contained within.
The earth shook violently, and a giant crater with a diameter of over twenty meters suddenly appeared!
In the center of the deep pit, Gu Qi's bones were all shattered, bleeding from his seven orifices, embedded in the soil like a pile of mud, breathing more out than in, but he surprisingly hadn't died immediately, relying on the tenacious vitality of an eight-ring Spirit Douluo.
He struggled to lift his head, his eyes filled with endless despair and fear.
However, what awaited him was judgment from the other Divine Beast.
Behind Liu Yuan, the golden patterns on Primal Kyogre's mountain-like body shone brightly.
It opened its abyss-like maw, and an extreme chill began to condense in its mouth.
"Ice Beam."
A blue beam of light colder than absolute zero erupted from Primal Kyogre's mouth.
Wherever the beam passed, the air condensed into ice crystals, plants instantly turned into ice sculptures, and the colors of the entire world seemed to be drained away by this beam.
That ice-blue light of death accurately hit the dying Gu Qi in the deep pit.
No explosion, no sound.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
The fear, despair, and resentment on Gu Qi's face were permanently frozen.
His body, from the inside out, from Soul to flesh, was instantly frozen by that extreme chill.
In just one second, a lifelike ice sculpture appeared in the deep pit.
Inside the ice sculpture, Gu Qi's life aura had completely vanished.
Having done all this, the phantom of Primal Kyogre slowly dissipated.
In the sky, Mega Rayquaza let out another majestic dragon roar.
Then, its massive dragon tail flicked again.
This time, the movement was even more casual.
An invisible gust of wind swept past.
Crack—
The surface of that crystal-clear ice sculpture was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks.
Crash!
In the next second, the entire ice sculpture shattered, turning into ice crystal powder dancing in the air.
A generation's Eight-Ring Evil Soul Master, the Ghost Infant Douluo Gu Qi, had completely fallen, his body and Soul destroyed!
And that Mega Rayquaza also quickly returned to Liu Yuan's body.
The suffocating pressure around them subsequently vanished into thin air.
Liu Yuan stood in place, his expression calm, as if he had only flicked dust off his sleeve.
At this time, the long-awaited voice finally sounded in his mind.
