A deafening explosion tore across the battlefield, flattening distant forests and sending shockwaves for miles. Rain evaporated instantly. Steam pillars rose toward the heavens like white dragons.
Sea God, Poseidon felt it clearly, the second time his attack had been broken. And this time—His attack had been stopped head-on by a mortal
The divine intent within the phantom grew unstable, rippling with fury. Far above, in the distant God Realm, the true Poseidon felt as if someone had insulted him.
Sea God sent more power to his phantom in the mortal world. The phantom darkened as greater divine energy poured into it, its outline stabilizing further, its trident glowing with deeper azure radiance.
The ocean illusion expanded wildly, swallowing the horizon.
Once again he used—"Sea God Thirteen Halberds."
But this time—It was incomparably stronger.
The first strike alone shattered the air before even descending. Space distorted around its path.
Eve's pupils contracted as she felt the power behind the incoming attack
She inhaled slowly, then raised her sword.
"Nine Sun Style — Sixth Form ..... Red Sword."
The surrounding light and fire elements responded violently.Golden flames deepened into crimson. Solar brilliance condensed along the blade, layering upon itself repeatedly. The sword trembled as energy surged beyond conventional limits.
Cracks formed along its surface from overload. The earth beneath her feet melted into glowing slag.
Eve stepped forward into the descending halberd attack, each of her slashes were so fast that they countered the many halberd descending.
Then—cataclysm erupted.
A sphere of blinding red and deep blue expanded violently outward, vaporizing rain, tearing clouds apart, and carving a massive crater into the land below.
The phantom of Poseidon trembled. Eve's sword screamed as fissures spread further along its edge.
Her arms trembled slightly under the overwhelming pressure, blood seeping faintly from the corner of her lips. Yet her gaze remained steady.
Far above, within the God Realm—Poseidon's true body trembled with fury.
'A mortal....a mere mortal had resisted him again and again.'
The humiliation burned deeper than reason. In rage, without weighing consequence, he stepped forward—
Half his divine body crossed the boundary between realms. The barrier between the God Realm and the Douluo Plane rippled violently as if a mountain had pressed against a sheet of glass.
And then—he struck.
A true God-level attack filled with unimaginable levels of water pressure descended like heavenly thunder.
BOOM—
The Red Sword in Eve's hands screamed under the impact. Crimson light flared desperately, fueled by the uninterrupted stream of power flowing from Qian Renxue across the invisible connection.
For a few seconds—there was stalemate as red and azure clashed.
Eve's arms trembled. Blood trailed from her lips, then from her ears. The cracks along the blade spread like spiderwebs, reaching the hilt.
She raised her head and locked eyes with Poseidon.
Her lips moved.
Tang San—watching from a distant divine layer—and Poseidon himself both saw clearly what she said.
"It seems my time has come… but don't worry…"
Her smile did not waver.
"You will be following me soon."
The next instant— The Red Sword shattered. The divine strike filled with ocean power tore downward unopposed.
BOOM!
When the explosion subsided—The land was gone.
In its place lay a vast, newly formed lake, water rushing violently into the crater carved by the impact. Forests had vanished. Mountains were flattened. The battlefield no longer existed.
Eve's figure—was nowhere to be seen.
Realizing that he had broken the rules of the God realm and almost all the God Kings must have sensed hi power descending to the mortal world, he withdrew abruptly, retreating fully into the God Realm.
As he did—a voice thundered across the heavens of the Douluo Plane.
"Poseidon… you have gone out of your bounds."
The clouds parted unnaturally, then sealed as if nothing had happened and silence returned.
Bo Saixi, still dazed from the earlier possession and divine descent, stood at the edge of the newly formed lake. Her face was pale, her mind struggling to process the catastrophe.
She saw the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud floating near the water's surface.
After a moment's hesitation, she stepped forward and retrieved it.
Without a word—She turned around and left.
After some time, Ci Xue came running back , She Long still unconscious across his back.
His eyes were red and his voice cracked.
"Young Master…Please… be safe…"
Even as a Titled Douluo, the residual energy around the lake made approaching difficult. The divine aftermath distorted space and scorched spiritual perception.
Only one person in Spirit Hall could investigate this safely.
The strongest person in the Spirit Hall according to him , Qian Daoliu.
Without delay, Ci Xue gritted his teeth and flew toward Spirit City at full speed.
—
Far away, Tang San's consciousness observed everything.
A calm calculation surfaced in his mind.
'If Qian Renxue dies here…The path of my counterpart in this world will be much smoother.'
'The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud is already reclaimed.'
Suddenly—A chill crawled up his spine.
It was subtle but an undeniable feeling of being watched by something creepy.
As if countless eyes were gazing at him
Tang San's divine sense expanded instantly, sweeping across the surroundings, but he could not find anything.
He became cautious and without hesitation, he retreated fully, fleeing back toward his hidden position on Sea God Island.
He can find out about the deity who backed Qian Renxue later, but he first needed to find the reason for feeling threatened. He could not believe that there was anything in this world that can make his divine intent feel threatened.
