"Such an arrogant kid," Su Cheng's voice fell, and Seahorse Douluo frowned, taking a step forward.
Immediately, he prepared to summon his martial soul for battle.
Seeing this, the others also stepped forward unwillingly.
"Ou Ya," Bo Saixi lightly exclaimed, stopping Seahorse Douluo.
Then she looked at the other Pillar Douluos, "Step back, you won't be able to intervene."
No one could feel Su Cheng's strength better than her at this moment.
Vaguely, there was a hint of the aura of the person who achieved the title of Douluo after him in her memory.
And there was an even deeper threat lurking beneath the glacier, making her feel uneasy, even with a looming shadow of death.
Watching Su Cheng, Bo Saixi didn't rush to attack but floated back in the air.
At the same time, she raised the scepter-like sacrificial staff in her hand high.
A blue ripple spread out from it, expanding in all directions.
The next moment, eight golden light pillars soared into the sky from various parts of the island, then formed a light shield covering Sea God Island completely. The largest and thickest light pillar in the center was from the Sea God Temple on Sea God Mountain.
Su Cheng glanced at the golden light shield formed in the sky, squinting his eyes slightly, his face showing some seriousness, "Divine power..."
This formation seemed to originate from the seven Pillars spread across Sea God Island, combined with Sea God Mountain.
But that wasn't the case.
This formation was integrated with the entire island, with the core being the seven Pillar platforms in the Sea God Temple.
As for the Pillars scattered across the islands, they were just hubs to enhance efficiency and not essential elements of the formation.
This also meant that unlike when issuing the Sea God's Trials or sheltering the Pillar Douluos, the Seven Pillars now exhibited genuine divine power.
If Sea God Island hadn't faced a life-and-death crisis, this major formation would never have been activated.
Seeing Bo Saixi proactively activate the island's protective array, the seven Pillar Douluos who had retreated to a distance all showed slight changes in expression.
They hadn't expected that the High Priestess, who was as powerful as a deity in their eyes, would be so decisive, immediately tapping into the heritage of Sea God Island.
It should be noted that it was not easy to use this array; the cost was extremely high.
Each activation required at least hundreds of years of divine power accumulated on Sea God Island. And as the duration of the array increased, the actual consumption would be several times higher.
In a world without divine-level experts, extracting divine power was extremely difficult. But Bo Saixi didn't hesitate to use it, indicating how much she valued Su Cheng.
"What a waste..." Looking at the constantly dissipating power emanating from the array, Su Cheng muttered softly.
Using divine power like this, the utilization rate was not even one percent; most of it was being wasted.
However, waste aside, power was always real.
He wouldn't be careless, let alone sit back and wait for death.
The seventh soul ring under his feet lit up with a faint pink color.
Seventh soul skill: Eternal True Body—First Stage.
The moment the Martial Soul True Body was used, Su Cheng's momentum changed completely.
At the same moment, all the sword qi permeating the area of the sword domain lost its color, turning into transparent, glass-like sharp sword energy.
At this moment, all the countless unmeasurable sword qi pervading the sword domain transformed into innate sword qi!
Of course, as he used his extremely powerful Martial Soul True Body, Su Cheng's profound soul power far beyond his level was rapidly being consumed.
On the other side, Bo Saixi also didn't show weakness. Golden light rose from under Bo Saixi's feet, and Eight black and one red soul rings revolved around her.
Although only one of the nine soul rings under her feet was at the hundred thousand year level, including the first eight black soul rings, they all emitted a faint golden light.
This was her special power as the Guardian of the Divine.
Her waist-length sea-blue hair fluttered in the wind, and her red robe fluttered like flames.
A huge golden shadow gradually appeared behind Bo Saixi. Although his appearance couldn't be seen clearly, his magnificent golden armor was extremely distinct.
Sea God Martial Soul!
As this martial soul appeared, in a place unseen by the two, the entire sea seemed to respond to her call.
Outside Sea God Island, waves swept over, and the wind and waves raged.
Countless powers of the boundless sea poured into her Sea God domain.
Especially on the sea.
Especially in this Sea God Island.
Poseidon was no longer just a Level 99 Peerless Douluo; she was the spokesperson of the Sea God! She was the strongest being in the world, with one foot stepping into the threshold of divinity! Moreover, the sky was still shrouded in the divine formation formed by the Seven Pillars and the Sea God Mountain of Sea God Island.
With the emergence of the Sea God Martial Soul and the infusion of the power of the boundless sea, the sea-blue Sea God domain rapidly expanded, fiercely clashing with Su Cheng's dual domain, fiercely vying for dominance in the environment.
The waves, tinged with a faint golden light, surged continuously towards Su Cheng's position.
Even the slightest fluctuation of breath generated during the expansion of the domains was comparable to the full force of a Peak Douluo's attack.
At this moment, the suspended crescent moon in the Five Elements domain began to emit a faint moonlight.
The moonlight fell gently like water onto the sea surface.
From the moment Su Cheng unfolded his domain, this sword technique entered a state of accumulation.
By now, the seemingly gentle moonlight was actually composed of countless sword qi gathered together, with extremely astonishing power.
Facing the Sea God domain infused with divine power, it also constantly weakened and eroded the opponent's invisible offense.
And with the replenishment of the Immortal Sword Intent, the consumption rate was much lower than Bo Saixi's expectations.
During this process, Su Cheng, standing below, had never paid too much attention to the domain clash.
He just focused on holding his sword steady with a calm mind, slowly raising it upwards, his eyes empty.
Sword Fifteen, Empty Mountain.
When the long sword was raised to his front, the huge sword shadow pierced the sky, slashing towards the figure in red not far away.
This time, the Empty Mountain sword technique used had undergone a qualitative change compared to the past.
It was a powerful sword move activated in the state of Martial Soul True Body, composed of innate power.
Under Bo Saixi's feet in midair, the seventh soul ring lit up.
Then, the sea god shadow behind her took a step forward, merging with her, and the golden armor covered her whole body.
With the Sea God True Body displayed, her aura instantly soared several times over.
Then, she extended her right hand, and a light blade cleaved down.
The next moment, the sword shadow and the light blade collided with a loud bang.
The powerful sword move imbued with terrifying Annihilation Sword Intent gained a slight upper hand in the clash with the divine-powered light blade.
After annihilating it, its momentum didn't diminish, continuing to rush towards Bo Saixi's body.
But unfortunately, under the suppression of the island's protective array, it ultimately couldn't make any further progress, truly injuring Bo Saixi's main body.
After passing through a certain distance, the fragmented sword shadow was completely worn out.
Su Cheng was not surprised by this result.
Not to mention that Bo Saixi was already formidable, this was also her home ground, constantly replenished by nearly infinite power of the boundless sea.
Even if these powers couldn't bring about a qualitative change in her strength or enhance her defense, buffering against attacks was easily achievable.
Unless an attack far surpassing the opponent's level was used, in this place, Bo Saixi was almost invincible.
Bo Saixi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw this.
She could feel that the last sword was probably the strongest move Su Cheng could muster.
No matter how strong a genius was, their self-created soul skills must have a limit.
The power contained in that sword had been enhanced to an extremely exaggerated level, definitely not an ordinary probing soul skill.
And that kind of sword move, with the current level of soul power reserves, could hardly be used too many times.
Su Cheng was not foolish; he wouldn't waste his energy like an ordinary person would. Most likely, the last sword was his all-out effort.
After advancing to Soul Saint, Su Cheng was naturally extremely powerful.
He could even briefly spar with her, a Level 99 Peerless Douluo, without falling behind.
But so what?
In this place, her soul power was endless, and any consumption was inconsequential.
However, looking at Su Cheng, even though the powerful sword technique in the form of the moon lasted for a long time, it would eventually reach a point of exhaustion.
As long as the consumption continued, defeat was only a matter of time.
However, Bo Saixi didn't dare to relax too much either.
Su Cheng's state after his promotion was very unusual.
He had never been an arrogant person.
If he didn't have a trump card, he wouldn't confront the enemy in this manner. He would definitely choose to break through with all his strength at the first opportunity.
"Stop it, Su Cheng. I don't want to kill you." Bo Saixi's voice was majestic and lofty, like a god judging mortals from high above.
"Kill me?" Su Cheng smiled, a strange light flickering in his eyes.
Then, his expression turned slightly serious as he said indifferently, "Then let's give it a try."
Bo Saixi frowned at his words, a hint of anger flashing in her eyes concealed by the golden light.
Then, the ninth soul ring lit up under her feet.
Accompanied by flashes of golden light, a pure energy-made water sphere appeared in her fair palm.
The moment the golden water sphere appeared, the terrifying aura uncontrollably spread outward.
That was the fluctuation of divine power!
At this moment, Bo Saixi, with the body of a mortal, was using the power of a deity!
But it didn't stop there.
In the sky, the golden light emitted by the protective array descended in large waves, converging into the golden water sphere in Bo Saixi's hand.
The next moment, the water sphere elongated and transformed into a substantial golden trident, held in her hand.
At the moment when the trident was aimed, Su Cheng's body was covered in goosebumps, and his neck felt like it was being scraped by a blade, an extremely intense sense of threat continuously surging like a tide.
Staring fixedly at the trident for a moment, Su Cheng sighed lightly, "Alright then."
The light pink seventh soul ring lit up again.
Eternal True Body—Second Stage!
The moonlight in the sky turned into invisible sword light falling into his hand, merging with the Eternal Sword.
The countless sword qi that had surrounded him disappeared.
Both domains also disappeared in an instant.
All the powerful aura was completely restrained within.
Between heaven and earth, it seemed as if there was only one person and one sword.
"Sword Seventeen, Relying on Heaven."
Su Cheng pointed his finger, and the long sword, like flowing light, traversed the sky at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
His figure disappeared with the sword light.
Silently, the golden trident, composed of divine power, was completely annihilated.
Boom!
After a moment, a huge roar resounded through Sea God Island.
The protective array covering the island shattered.
The divine light outside Sea God Mountain rippled.
The seven pillars scattered across Sea God Island were covered with dense cracks at the same time.
Even though Bo Saixi had used the ninth soul skill as a buffer, she was still severely injured.
Her internal organs suffered varying degrees of damage, her face turned pale, and blood spurted from her seven orifices.
In the light of blood, her beautiful face appeared somewhat ferocious.
This was because Su Cheng's attack was only aimed at the array and the trident, not directly at her.
Otherwise, even with Bo Saixi's current full strength, it would be difficult for her to escape unscathed.
However, the golden scepter symbolizing her position as the High Priest had already disappeared.
At this moment, Su Cheng had already fled far away with the sword light, exhausting all his strength with that single strike.
But Bo Saixi evidently had no strength to pursue him.
"Teacher, this is the last time I'll call you that." Su Cheng's voice came from afar.
"Please take care in the future. There's no need to hold such deep enmity towards me. I'll keep this key for a while."
Struggling to control her body, Bo Saixi landed under Sea God Mountain.
After standing on the ground, she couldn't help but cough up another mouthful of blood, and her gaze seemed somewhat dim.
"Why must it be like this? Is the divine inheritance, which countless mortals covet but cannot obtain, so worthless in your eyes..."
