One step.
Two steps.
Three steps.
Mu Chen approached slowly, his gaze fixed on Xiaobai. Yet, she remained motionless, her figure still embedded in the seabed's silt, and the seawater around her mouth stained crimson.
"Xiaobai!"
Mu Chen called out softly, staring at her lifeless form. Her eyes were tightly shut, and she was as still as a corpse.
"Is she… really dead?"
Mu Chen's face darkened as he extended his hand toward Xiaobai's nose to check for signs of breathing.
Just as his fingers were mere inches away, dozens of gray-blue light beams resembling sharp fangs condensed around Xiaobai and shot toward Mu Chen in a violent burst.
Demon Shark Fangs!
It was one of the Devil Spirit Great Shark's most powerful abilities.
"Not good!"
Mu Chen's pupils shrank as his Chaos Eight Wings reflexively wrapped around him, forming an egg-shaped defense. The fangs struck the wings with immense force, sending Mu Chen rocketing out of the seabed and into the air.
Pfft!
Mu Chen coughed up blood, his gaze sharp as he stared down at the water's surface. Moments later, Xiaobai's figure emerged from the sea.
"You're despicable! Playing dead?" Mu Chen scolded angrily.
If not for the divine defense of his Chaos Eight Wings, he would have fallen victim to Xiaobai's sneak attack. In the Douluo Continent, the Chaos Eight Wings were the strongest defensive artifact—there was no equal.
Although the wings blocked the fangs, they couldn't prevent the vibrations from the impact. Mu Chen's body showed no external injuries, but his internal energy was in turmoil.
"Mu Chen!"
"Brother!"
"Master!"
Hu Liena, Xiao Wu, and Zi Zhenzhu cried out in worry as they saw blood at the corner of Mu Chen's mouth.
"Master!"
In the distance, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon King, Yu Sinuo, rushed forward, lightning crackling around her body as she approached Mu Chen with concern. "Are you hurt?"
"It's nothing." Mu Chen shook his head before shifting his gaze back to Xiaobai, his expression sharp. "Xiaobai, I didn't think you'd be so cunning—pretending to be dead to ambush me."
"All's fair in war," Xiaobai replied calmly.
After living in the ocean for over a hundred thousand years, Xiaobai's intelligence rivaled that of humans. Having learned much under the Seagod High Priest, she understood the intricacies of human strategy and combat.
Xiaobai's gaze shifted to Yu Sinuo. From her earlier cries, it was clear—this Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon called a human master!
"Fine strategy," Mu Chen admitted with a chuckle.
"You dare wound my master?" Yu Sinuo growled, her soul power surging as dark thunderclouds formed above her. Bolts of lightning crackled ominously.
"And what of it?" Xiaobai countered.
Swish!
As the tension escalated, countless shark heads surfaced across the water. They were all Devil Spirit Great Sharks, their sharp teeth and predatory eyes intimidating. The sheer number—easily in the thousands—sent chills down the spine. Among them were many thousand-year and ten-thousand-year sharks.
"Are you still determined to stop me from reaching the island?" Mu Chen asked, his voice cold as he looked at the blood-streaked Xiaobai.
"Anyone who intrudes upon Seagod Island shall die!" Xiaobai's eyes shone with determination.
"In that case, I can't be blamed for what happens next. Sinuo, severely injure them—but don't kill them," Mu Chen ordered.
"As you command!" Yu Sinuo nodded. Her powerful soul force surged outward, intensifying the dark clouds above. Soon, the sky turned a foreboding shade of black-blue, and the accumulated storm grew even more threatening.
White Shark Shield!
Sensing the overwhelming power of the incoming lightning, the Devil Spirit Great Sharks instinctively activated their defensive soul skill—White Shark Shield. Gray-blue light shrouded their bodies, forming protective barriers.
Dragon's Sky Thunder Explosion!
Rumble!
The sky split apart as bolts of black-blue lightning rained down. Each bolt morphed into a small thunder dragon as it struck the sea like a torrential downpour, slamming into the sharks below.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Every strike caused a Devil Spirit Great Shark to flip belly-up in the water. Being surrounded by seawater only amplified the devastating effects of Yu Sinuo's lightning attacks.
Electric arcs spread across the vast ocean surface, creating a massive web of lightning. The Devil Spirit Great Sharks, though formidable, were no match for the wrath of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
It was worth noting that Yu Sinuo wasn't just any beast—she was a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon whose age had exceeded 300,000 years, nearing 400,000. Her power vastly outmatched Xiaobai's.
When the ruler is disgraced, the vassal dies defending honor!
Yu Sinuo was genuinely enraged. Were it not for Mu Chen's orders, her attacks would have been far more brutal. Sharks that survived the first lightning strike soon found themselves targeted by precise follow-up bolts.
"Dive into the sea!" Xiaobai shouted urgently.
With no other option, Xiaobai led the sharks into the depths, escaping the relentless barrage of lightning.
Swish!
Mu Chen smirked and, with a flap of his wings, turned into a streak of nine-colored light as he sped toward the distant coastline.
By the time Mu Chen landed on Seagod Island's shore, several figures clad in black robes had already arrived.
Seagod Island's dress code was strict—wearing black signified their status as guardians of the Seven Sacred Pillars. In other words, these were Titled Douluo-level powerhouses.
"How dare you barge onto Seagod Island alone!" an elderly man with a white beard shouted angrily.
Mu Chen, familiar with the Douluo storyline, instantly recognized them. These were the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians—Sea Horse Douluo, Sea Lance Douluo, Sea Illusion Douluo, Sea Ghost Douluo, Sea Star Douluo, Sea Witch Douluo, and Sea Dragon Douluo.
"Where is your Seagod High Priest? Tell her to come see me—I have words for her," Mu Chen said flatly, ignoring the elder's rebuke.
"You wish to see me?"
A gentle, divine voice echoed from the distance, carrying a tone of supreme authority and kindness, like a song from the heavens.
Mu Chen's heart skipped a beat.
Bo Saixi!
The voice grew clearer as a crimson light appeared in the distance, expanding rapidly as it distorted the surrounding space.
In an instant, a figure materialized before the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians—a woman whose presence radiated unmatched power.
Mu Chen's eyes narrowed. He knew exactly who
she was—the ruler of Seagod Island, one of the three Extreme Douluos, and the invincible force of the ocean—Seagod Douluo Bo Saixi.
