Bo Saixi's voice, like the Sea God's whisper, slowly spread by Yu Qing's ears, carrying a hint of recognition and the absolute majesty and unquestionable authority of a level 99 super Douluo.
"Very good! You bring me more pressure than Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu did back then! But... you are only level 97 after all!"
Before her voice faded, the scepter in her hand seemed to fuse with the golden trident in the hands of the Sea God's Martial Soul True Body at this moment, and she raised it high above her head.
Instantly, the winds and clouds shifted! The entire sea area seemed to submit! A sacred, vast, and boundless majestic power, as if holding the authority over life and death of the entire ocean, crashed down from the deep Void Realm like the Nine Heavens' galaxy pouring down, flooding into that golden trident.
[Writing here, I hope readers remember our Domain name, Taiwan Novel Website, for a great experience, super powerful.]
The trident glowed with ten thousand beams of light, illuminating the pitch-black night sky like day. The pressure emanating from it made Yu Qing feel his Soul trembling, as if facing the wrath of the entire ocean.
"God Skill: Sigh of the Ocean!"
Bo Saixi's cold voice rang out again as she slowly waved the golden trident. The movement seemed gentle and slow, like a lover's whisper, yet it drew upon the power of the vast, boundless sea below! Invisible Law power flowed out from the tip of the trident, permeating heaven and earth.
The blade light that Yu Qing had slashed out with all his might—enough to tear space—actually felt like it had fallen into endless, gentle, yet inescapable azure seawater the moment it touched this invisible Law power.
The speed of the blade light's advance suddenly became extremely slow, like a slow-motion shot in a movie. What was even more heart-palpitating was that the light of ten thousand stars on the blade light, which originally shone brilliantly and contained the will to destroy stars, was being dyed, assimilated, and stripped away bit by bit by that seemingly gentle and inclusive azure color... Like brilliant stars sinking into the deep sea one by one, their light was gently swallowed and annihilated by the seawater.
Under Yu Qing's incredulous gaze, his strongest strike—which condensed all his power and he was confident could destroy everything—was silently dismantled and shattered in a way he could not understand.
Finally, that earth-shattering galaxy blade light completely dissipated, turning into raindrops flickering with faint blue light that fell in profusion, reflecting the moonlight and starlight in the sky, as poignantly beautiful as a... sorrowful funeral held for the stars.
"How is this possible...?" Yu Qing hovered in mid-air, panting slightly. Seeing his strongest strike neutralized so casually by the opponent in such an almost "artistic" way, a strong sense of powerlessness and frustration instantly surged in his heart. Is this a true God Skill? A power that transcends the scope of Spirit Abilities and touches the Origin of the World's Law?! Does mortal power really seem as laughable as a child waving a wooden stick in its presence?
Bo Saixi's aura was also slightly disordered, and an imperceptible paleness appeared on her beautiful cheeks. Clearly, using this true God Skill was extremely taxing for her as well. Her massive Sea God True Body bowed slightly, her eyes as deep as the ocean looking down at the tiny-looking Yu Qing. Her voice returned to its previous indifference and holiness:
"In the face of a true God Skill, no matter how powerful a Spirit Ability is, it is ultimately futile. Now that the victor has been decided, you need not struggle further. Follow me back to Sea God Island and repent for your crimes before the Sea God statue."
She reached out with that massive hand made of pure energy that blotted out the sky, carrying irresistible majesty and pressure, slowly grasping toward Yu Qing. Wherever the palm passed, space seemed to be frozen and locked.
Yu Qing's pupils constricted, and his body instinctively wanted to retreat, but he found the space around him had become incredibly viscous, as if he had fallen into a deep-sea quagmire, making movement extremely difficult.
Would he... really have to surrender? Be taken to Sea God Island and imprisoned? No! Absolutely impossible!
At this critical moment, Yu Qing's gaze was involuntarily drawn to the strange and poignant scene before him—
The blue rain of light falling from the sky, formed from his strongest attack, was like countless blue star tears streaking across the night sky... Above his head was the brilliant galaxy, exceptionally clear and illuminated by the starlight power triggered by the previous battle, quiet and vast... Below was the vast sea surface gradually returning to calm, shimmering and reflecting the starlight and the remaining blue rain... Night... Starry Sky... Rain of light... Ocean... These four elements intertwined before Yu Qing's eyes in an incredibly profound way at this moment, imprinted in the sea of his heart.
That sliver of galaxy true intent he had been struggling to truly capture and integrate, the true core of the God Skill Falling Night Galaxy he had obtained from the treasure chest... At this moment, facing the Sigh of the Ocean, facing a desperate situation, and facing this dreamlike scene, it was like an ultimate bolt of lightning cutting through the darkness, suddenly striking into the deepest part of his Soul.
The understanding that had been slightly hazy all along instantly became crystal clear! It was as if an invisible door that had been blocking him was pushed open, and behind the door was a brilliant and boundless galaxy.
"Heh... Haha... Hahaha!"
Yu Qing suddenly looked up, the powerlessness and frustration in his eyes instantly swept away, replaced by an indescribable realization and the brilliant starlight of ultimate confidence! He couldn't even help but let out a low and hearty laugh.
"God Skill?... Who doesn't have one!"
He raised the black star sinking abyss in his hand again, the long blade humming as if it were also excited and trembling for the impending transformation. The tip of the blade pointed directly at the slowly grasping massive energy palm and the towering Sea God True Body behind it. Yu Qing's voice was powerful and resonant, exploding like thunder in the silent night sky:
"Bo Saixi! One move! Let's decide the winner! Let you also see for yourself my... God Skill!"
"Boom—!!!"
A brand new, vast, ethereal, and ancient unique "intent" that seemed to encompass the entire Starry Sky and galaxy, carrying the loneliness of the eternal night, suddenly erupted from Yu Qing's body. Like a bursting flood, it expanded crazily in all directions!
Under the shroud of this "intent," the originally azure seawater below, centered around Yu Qing's feet, was quickly stained with a dreamy and mysterious silver layer. The seawater no longer reflected the starlight of the sky but instead seemed to turn into liquid stars itself. As it rippled, it flowed with brilliant starlight. At a glance, it looked like a galaxy that had fallen to the mortal World, slowly flowing beneath his feet.
"This is...?!" Bo Saixi's heart was greatly shaken, and an unprecedented look of horror erupted in her sea-blue eyes! She clearly felt that the opponent's aura was undergoing a fundamental transformation! It was no longer a simple increase in spirit power or enhancement of a Spirit Ability, but in a true sense... it had touched and triggered some kind of World Law! A power that was completely different from the "Ocean" Law she wielded, yet equally vast and great—the Law of the "Starry Sky"!
An extremely strong sense of crisis instantly surged in her heart. Bo Saixi dared not hold back or hesitate any longer. Her massive Sea God True Body once again raised the golden energy trident high above her head.
"God Skill: Sigh of the Ocean!"
The azure radiance blossomed again, more solid and vast than before. The power of the entire ocean seemed to be drawn up, turning into a sky-blotting azure canopy, carrying a gentleness and majesty that could encompass all things yet also annihilate all things, sweeping toward Yu Qing and the silver ocean beneath his feet.
Facing this attack that could drive any super Douluo to despair, Yu Qing slowly closed his eyes. The next moment, he suddenly snapped them open.
At this moment, there was no longer a distinction between the whites and pupils in his eyes. Instead, there was a complete, flowing, brilliant, and vast starry galaxy! It was as if his eyes had turned into windows to the Universe.
"God Skill: Falling Night Galaxy!"
The black star sinking abyss in his hand, following his words, slashed down gently at a speed that seemed slow but actually contained supreme and profound trajectories.
There was no earth-shattering explosion, no sharp whistle of tearing space.
There was only a silently unfolding, ultimately brilliant, boundlessly vast, and intoxicatingly quiet starry galaxy.
This galaxy seemed to fall from the Nine Heavens and perfectly connected and fused with the ocean galaxy below that had already been dyed silver.
At this moment, the boundary between heaven and sea was completely broken, and the concept of space became blurred.
Above was the azure, sighing sea of Laws triggered by Bo Saixi, which encompassed all things but also swallowed all things.
Below was the brilliant, quiet galaxy of Laws slashed out by Yu Qing, which carried ten thousand stars but also silenced ten thousand eons.
The ocean turned into a galaxy.
The sky turned into an ocean.
Two completely different God Domains, two equally vast Law powers originating from the World's Origin, crashed into each other silently in the sky above this sea area.
There was no explosion, no loud noise. Only the two ultimate lights began a silent Fusion, erosion, annihilation, and transformation at the moment of contact... as if two completely different Worlds were colliding, testing, and competing for the dominance of this space! The scene was magnificent, grand, beyond the limits of mortal imagination, and full of suffocating danger.
Finally, after a brief stalemate, that brilliant galaxy and that sighing ocean seemed to reach some kind of understanding, or perhaps they exhausted their power at the same time, and began to slowly dissipate simultaneously, turning into the most primitive energy particles and returning to heaven and earth.
The night sky remained deep, and the stars continued to twinkle. The sea surface gradually returned to calm, rippling slightly and reflecting the soft moonlight and starlight, as if that heaven-and-earth-destroying God Skill duel just now was only an illusion.
Yu Qing and Bo Saixi faced each other from a distance, hovering in the air. Both of their auras had become somewhat disordered and unstable, their faces pale. Clearly, that ultimate strike that had poured in all their concentration was an enormous drain on both sides.
Bo Saixi's massive Sea God True Body slowly dissipated, returning to her original beautiful appearance. She looked at Yu Qing, her sea-blue eyes full of extremely complex emotions: shock, disbelief, deep doubt, and even... an undeniable hint of amazement and admiration.
She was silent for a moment before she slowly spoke. Her voice was still cold, but the previous killing intent and indifference were gone, replaced by an indescribable tone: "You... are very good. This matter is over. You... take care of yourself."
After saying this, she gave Yu Qing a deep look, as if to remember him firmly. Then, her figure slowly floated back, like ink blending into water, gradually fading until she completely disappeared into the night and sea breeze.
She ultimately chose to stop and leave, perhaps because the strength and potential Yu Qing showed won her respect, perhaps because his status as a Divinity Legacy holder made her cautious, or perhaps... simply because that move "Falling Night Galaxy," which he had just comprehended but could already stand on equal footing with her God Skill, allowed her to see a brand new, infinite possibility.
Yu Qing breathed a long sigh of relief. Only at this moment did he realize his back was already completely soaked with cold sweat. This battle with Bo Saixi was far more dangerous and difficult than any of his previous battles; it could even be said he had walked before the gates of hell.
He dared not stay for a moment. He immediately suppressed the churning blood and huge exhaustion in his body, turned into a streak of light, increased his speed to the limit, and galloped away without looking back in the direction opposite to Sea God Island, far from this place of trouble.
