Chapter 386 When Gods Fight, Mortals Suffer?
The next second, the massive tail of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, comparable to a giant island, swung up from beneath the sea surface with terrifying power that could crush the void!
The seawater churned up by its tail was like an inverted curtain of sky, and within that towering curtain of water, there was a blue-purple fan-shaped radiance, like a tangible tide of destruction, shooting out from its tail!
This was not a mere strike of force, but a combined attack imbued with the lightning and deep-sea energy accumulated over a million years by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King!
The blue-purple fan-shaped radiance expanded rapidly, covering a large area of airspace where Tang Chuan was located. Wherever it passed, the air emitted a shrill whistling sound, was forcibly torn apart and ionized, and even brought up a layer of fine, jumping black spatial lightning at the edge of the radiance!
That was an energy intensity high enough to shake the stability of space, and its power far exceeded that of ordinary 100,000-year soul skills!
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's attack was clearly intended to annihilate Tang Chuan, this annoying fly, along with the surrounding space, with a terrifying area-of-effect strike!
Faced with this fan-shaped attack containing violent lightning and the power of the deep sea, Tang Chuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He did not choose to confront its sharp edge head-on, nor did he immediately use the Golden Dragon Spear to fight back. Instead, he unleashed the Invincible Golden Body, a soul skill from his 100,000-year-old soul bone.
A dazzling golden light suddenly erupted from his body!
The golden light was not a dissipation of soul power, but rather an instantaneous condensation on Tang Chuan's body surface into a thin, cicada-wing-like golden light film that seemed to be made of the purest diamond!
The light membrane flowed and covered his entire body, even the golden dragon spear in his hand was tinged with a light gold. Instantly, a profound aura that was impervious to all laws and indestructible spread out!
It happened in the blink of an eye!
The blue-purple destructive fan, accompanied by a shrill whistling sound that tore through the air and leaping black spatial lightning, crashed down and completely engulfed Tang Chuan's figure!
"boom--!!!"
A surge of blue-purple energy collided violently with a golden light membrane!
Amidst the deafening explosion, blinding light illuminated half the night sky, and violent energy turbulence scattered and crashed, blasting countless giant craters into the sea below!
However, at the center of that destructive energy, the thin golden light membrane remained as immovable as a reef in a raging torrent! No matter how the blue-purple lightning raged and impacted, or how the black lightning leaped and eroded, it could not penetrate that golden light even a fraction!
Invincible Golden Body, granting immunity to all physical and energy attacks for a certain period of time!
This is a defensive skill that can be described as bug-level!
"What kind of skill is this?"
"Boy, who exactly are you?"
Looking at the scene before him, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King revealed obvious astonishment for the first time in its last remaining giant yellow eyes, and spoke in human language.
Its furious attack, powerful enough to severely injure or even instantly kill an ordinary Super Douluo, was so easily and almost ignored by the opponent.
What is that layer of golden light? Why is it so solid?
"The Deep Sea Demon Whale King! A million-year-old soul beast, the overlord of the ocean, blinded in his left eye by the trident of the Sea God... Am I right?"
Upon hearing this, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, who was about to continue its attack, suddenly stopped. Its remaining yellow giant eyes flashed with ferocity as it stared intently at Tang Chuan with suspicion and uncertainty, its booming voice like thunder:
"You...know me? Are you someone sent by that old bastard Poseidon?!"
Its voice was filled with deep-seated hatred and fear.
"Sea God?" Hovering in mid-air, Tang Chuan pointed his golden dragon spear at the sea and said calmly, "I have no connection with the Sea God, and I am not here on anyone's orders. I just... want to borrow something from you."
"Borrow something?" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was taken aback. Its simple mind could not comprehend why this human would make such an absurd request at this moment of life and death.
What do you need to borrow?
Tang Chuan's voice was clear and cold, each word striking the Demon Whale King's heart like a heavy hammer: "Your soul rings and soul bones."
"roar--!!!!"
After a brief silence came a roar far more ferocious and hysterical than ever before; the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was utterly enraged!
This is no longer a simple provocation, but a declaration of war and contempt!
How dare this mere Soul Douluo regard this overlord, who has roamed the oceans for millions of years, as a Soul Ring or Soul Bone that can be hunted at will?!
"Arrogant humans!! Die!!!"
All the surprise and fear were burned to ashes by boundless rage!
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King held nothing back, suddenly opening its massive maw and spewing out a deep purple beam of destructive light, like a world-destroying spear, which shot towards Tang Chuan!
The temperature at the core of the light pillar was outrageously high, instantly evaporating the surrounding seawater into a white vapor!
Faced with this furious, all-out attack, Tang Chuan showed no fear whatsoever; instead, a glint of triumphant cunning flashed in his eyes.
Enraging the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and causing it to lose its mind is part of Tang Chuan's plan!
"Well done!"
Tang Chuan let out a low shout, advancing instead of retreating. His right hand trembled as the Golden Dragon Spear shimmered with golden light, poised to strike. At the same time, a strong cyan-black light suddenly erupted from his left arm, and an ancient aura, imbued with thunderous majesty, spread out!
"Azure Bull Python's Left Arm Bone Soul Skill: Azure Annihilation Thunder!"
He raised his left arm slightly, spread his five fingers, and suddenly clenched his fist at the purple beam of light that was rushing towards him!
"BOOM!!!"
It was as if the Thunder God of the Nine Heavens was enraged!
A massive pillar of lightning, over five meters in diameter and composed entirely of pure azure lightning, burst forth from the front of Tang Chuan's left arm without warning!
Within the pillar of lightning, a majestic azure bull-python phantom could be vaguely seen coiling and roaring, carrying the terrifying power to annihilate all things and cleanse evil spirits, fiercely meeting the purple pillar of light of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King!
This is not over yet!
At the very moment the Azure Annihilation Thunder was released, the deep red eighth spirit ring beneath Tang Chuan's feet also suddenly burst forth with an unprecedentedly dazzling light!
"Eighth Soul Skill - Azure Dragon Soul of Blue Silver Sky!"
"hold head high--!!!"
A dragon's roar, seemingly from the ancient wilderness, resounded throughout the universe!
Behind Tang Chuan, the enormous Blue Silver Emperor phantom did not appear. Instead, a phantom of an Azure Dragon, over a hundred meters long and covered in cyan-gold scales, appeared!
This Azure Dragon is not a pure energy body, but a combination of the Blue Silver Emperor's boundless life force and a certain supreme dragon race's will. It is majestic and sacred, yet it also carries the endless vitality of a plant king!
Immediately afterwards, the azure dragon phantom roared and swooped down towards Tang Chuan's body, instantly covering and merging him completely with the golden dragon spear in his hand!
In an instant, Tang Chuan's figure disappeared.
In the single remaining eye of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, only a lifelike azure dragon remained in the sky! The dragon was majestic and imposing, its aura overwhelming, not at all inferior to this million-year-old sea beast!
The increase has not stopped!
Ning Rongrong, who was hovering not far away and hidden in the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, immediately released her martial soul, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, upon seeing this.
Six beams of colorful light transformed into a dazzling rainbow, illuminating Tang Chuan and causing the azure light emanating from his body to suddenly expand, obscuring his entire form. In the single eye of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, all he could see was an azure dragon descending from the sky, hurtling straight at him.
The next second, two attacks, representing different levels yet equally terrifying, collided violently above the raging sea and under the bright moon and starry sky, like two out-of-control meteors!
"Rumble rumble rumble—!!!!!!!!!!!!"
A horrific explosion has occurred that defies description!
At that moment, it was as if the world had just begun to open, or as if the universe had returned to silence! The blue and purple lights clashed, annihilated, and exploded wildly, forming a destructive energy sphere with a diameter of over a kilometer!
Inside the sphere of light, space shattered inch by inch, revealing a chilling void of darkness behind it!
The shock wave spread out in a spherical shape, instantly pressing the seawater within a range of several thousand meters below into a huge hemispherical depression, which then triggered a tsunami thousands of meters high, sweeping wildly in all directions!
At the core of the explosion, turbulent energy currents raged, and the light was so blinding that it was impossible to look directly at it.
Only a whale's roar, filled with extreme pain and rage, and a clear, penetrating dragon's cry, faintly intertwined amidst the destructive rumble...
Its terrifying power far exceeded the limits that the sea area could withstand.
The devastating energy shockwave did not only ravage the point of impact.
Centered on the point of impact, it carried unimaginable kinetic energy and turbulent soul power, spreading wildly in all directions, especially along the sea surface, in a ring shape!
The first wave to arrive was a dull, earth-shaking roar.
Even in the city of Hanhai, hundreds of miles away, in the dead of night when most residents were asleep, the entire city and the mountain it was on suddenly shook violently!
It wasn't an ordinary earthquake; it was more like a giant hand slamming down on the very foundations of the land and sea from the distant western ocean!
The house shook, the beams and pillars groaned, and the tiles fell in a rustling sound.
People were startled awake from their sleep, and hurriedly crawled out of bed, bewildered.
Immediately following was the eerie light that illuminated half the night sky for several breaths.
Where the sea and sky meet in the west, a dazzling purplish-blue sphere of light first expands. Even from such a great distance, it can still clearly illuminate the outlines of the city walls and buildings on the west side of Hanhai City, as if dawn has arrived early, yet it carries an ominous aura of magnificence and destruction.
However, this light and tremor were merely the prelude to disaster.
The real terror followed.
About half a cup of tea later, after the tremors and light subsided, the soldiers stationed on the towering watchtowers along the western coast of Hanhai City, as well as some residents who had been awakened and climbed onto rooftops or other high places, witnessed a scene that they would never forget and that terrified them: the once peaceful western horizon had vanished.
Instead, a high black wall connects the sky and the sea!
That wasn't a cloud, nor was it an ordinary giant wave; it was a super tsunami formed by being directly propelled by the terrifying collision energy and carrying countless seawater along its path!
The height of the wave wall appears to be the same as the city wall from a distance, but only when it approaches at an astonishing speed can one feel the desperate and oppressive feeling that the entire ocean is about to overturn!
"The sea... a tsunami?!?"
"Oh my god! Run!!!"
"The sea god is angry—!!!"
The piercing, distorted sirens and desperate cries instantly tore through the night sky, but before the might of heaven and earth, they seemed so weak and powerless.
"boom--!!!!!!!"
The first and most terrifying wave, like a giant whip wielded by a god, lashed fiercely against the thick city walls of Hanhai City, which were said to be able to withstand the tides!
The city wall, over twenty meters high and built of solid bluestone, was like a sandcastle built by a child in the face of this force that surpassed the limits of nature! The outermost layer of boulders was smashed to pieces the moment it made contact! Then, the raging seawater, like countless giant hammers, found the cracks in the city wall, the gates, and the relatively weak sections, and poured in, crashed, and tore through them!
"Crack! Boom—!"
A section of the city wall, more than fifty meters long, collapsed with a deafening roar!
The boulders mixed with the seawater, turning into a destructive torrent that rushed into the city!
The seawater did not stop flowing.
After the first giant wave, there came a continuous series of impacts, each higher than the last.
The towering seawater, like a raging beast, poured into Hanhai City through breaches in the city walls, through low-rise buildings along the streets, and through every possible intrusion point!
The Xicheng District, with its lower elevation, was the first to be affected.
The raging sea swept through the streets with devastating force, easily breaching wooden shop doors, sweeping away goods that vendors hadn't had time to pack up, and engulfing unsuspecting residents along with their furniture. Brick and stone houses teetered on the brink of collapse under the repeated impacts of the flood, eventually crumbling in large sections, creating even larger splashes and desperate cries for help.
The seawater spread rapidly along the crisscrossing streets, quickly submerging most of the city.
The murky seawater, carrying mud, broken planks, debris, and even animal carcasses, rampaged through the once bustling city.
The port area was completely destroyed.
Ships, regardless of size, were smashed, overturned, or washed ashore like toys by the massive waves in the face of such a tsunami, becoming a jumbled mess of broken dock facilities.
This sudden tsunami, originating from the aftermath of a clash hundreds of miles away, brought near-devastating damage to Hanhai City.
This major port on the western edge of the continent, a prosperous coastal city, was devastated overnight, directly immersed in bitter seawater and endless sorrow.
It's like gods fighting, and mortals suffer!
Meanwhile, on Poseidon Island, at the Temple of Poseidon.
The eternal holy light gently shone down, illuminating the majestic statue of Poseidon and Poseidon standing silently before it. She wore a long red robe, and her long, light blue hair cascaded down like a waterfall. Her exquisite face held a tranquility and profundity that seemed to have frozen time.
However, at that moment...
Poseidon's eyes, which were like the purest and deepest sea, suddenly opened!
The tranquility was shattered instantly. Then, she turned her head to look at the distant sea in the northwest, a forbidden place known as the Demon Whale Sea, which even the Sea God Island usually did not easily set foot in!
Just now, a powerful energy fluctuation, so strong that it made her soul tremble, crashed into her senses like a boulder thrown into calm, deep water!
The sheer terror and ferocity of that fluctuation far surpassed the battles between ordinary Title Douluos!
"Such a terrifying energy collision... It's the Deep Sea Demon Whale King! And who is the other side? How can they possibly contend head-on with the Demon Whale King's million-year cultivation?"
Just then, a streak of red light landed shakily on Seagod Island. (End of Chapter)
