Boom! Boom! Boom!
Continuous explosions reverberated endlessly. Within the crimson barrier, the seawater churned violently, as if caught in an unending storm, forced to surge upward and outward from the center.
Columns of water shot skyward, while unhealing voids shattered reefs, collapsed rock formations, and carved deep craters into the seabed.
Watching this spectacle from afar, the passengers on the ferry were stunned into silence.
"This is... unbelievable."
The crushing pressure of the surrounding Black Tide had been reduced by more than half, all thanks to the two flickering afterimages of rainbow light.
From mid-air to the seabed, from the barrier's edge to the ocean's heart, space twisted and shockwaves erupted.
The sea was forcibly cleaved apart, transforming into a desolate Gobi desert riddled with deep trenches and ravines.
The Scarlet Gold and crimson rainbow lights moved too swiftly to be clearly seen, but each collision sent out shockwaves that swept away everything in their path.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The explosions deafened the ears. Aberrant creatures emerging from the spatial rifts were instantly annihilated by the aftershocks.
The black mist dissipated significantly, and the crimson, bloodthirsty Abyss torrents were weakened by more than half.
As a result, the number of Black Tide Creatures approaching the ferry steadily decreased, granting Yang Wudi and the others a crucial respite.
The only thing still troubling them was the surging, crimson sea.
The ferry's metal hull began to corrode, filling the air with a putrid stench. The water seemed infused with some strange power, surpassing even the strongest acids, threatening to dissolve their flesh and blood.
"What do we do?" Celine and the others asked, their faces pale with exhaustion. Their Force was being steadily eroded, gradually dimming.
Turning their heads, they saw many passengers on the ferry with flushed faces, scalding skin, and signs of decay.
Even the deck was pockmarked with craters, as if the entire ship were disintegrating and about to sink.
Boom!
Brown light force erupted, obliterating a Black Tide Creature that had approached too close.
Yang Wudi, equally drained, stood at the bow of the ferry, glancing back with a furrowed brow.
This corrosive power was terrifying—omnipresent, inescapable, and utterly impervious to their defenses.
If they continued to delay like this...
Boom!!
A sudden, muffled explosion shattered the air, far louder than before.
Everyone instinctively looked up, witnessing a hemispherical shockwave expanding outward for a kilometer.
At its epicenter...
Crimson light erupted, splattering blood and shattering a severed arm.
Before Shuster could retreat, the Scarlet Gold rainbow light shifted, transforming into a golden-blue hue.
Boom!
The crimson afterimage, sent hurtling backward, crashed into the seabed, shattering the surrounding air rings.
The deep crater in the seabed expanded again, now exceeding a kilometer in diameter.
A glance revealed the crimson afterimage pinned at the center of the crater's fissures, its chest torn open, half its flesh and blood gone.
Whoosh!
Still relentless, golden light and blue lightning arcs flashed simultaneously, propelling the rainbow-lit figure forward.
His trench coat billowed, and a piercing whistle, surpassing the speed of sound, tore through the air, distorting space itself.
Chen Feng's face remained impassive as he unleashed a thunderous punch with his right arm.
Shuster, sprawled in the crater, his eyes blazing with fury and disbelief, frantically channeled his power to regenerate his flesh and blood.
Boom!
But as their fists collided, flesh exploded.
Splattered blood and debris streaked past his eyes as his body detonated once more, his wolf-headed skull floating in mid-air, its vertical pupils wide with shock.
"How is this possible?!"
Could his own Physical Body truly be inferior to that of this lowly species before him?
Boom!
The answer came in the form of another savage punch, its gale-force winds tearing through the void.
The scattered flesh was pulverized by the wind pressure, and a pillar of air erupted skyward for a kilometer, sending distant tidal walls crashing down in thunderous waves.
"If this is all you've got, you're hardly qualified to lecture me."
Buzz!
Flames blazed as Chen Feng's eyes glowed scarlet gold, like a tiger's gaze.
His gaze fixed on the crimson sea waves a kilometer away, where they were slowly mending.
Sizzle!
Blood-red arcs flickered, coalescing into bat wings and a wolf's head.
Shuster was once again drawing upon the Origin of his spiritual world to restore his body.
"Impossible!" he snarled, refusing to believe the outcome.
But his words were answered by—
Boom!!
A Blazing Sun had materialized overhead, hanging high in the sky.
Chen Feng stood motionless a kilometer away, flames swirling around him.
Yet the celestial sun transformed into a colossal fist, vaporizing the black mist, incinerating the corrosive power, and descending to crush Shuster from above.
"Get lost!" Shuster roared, feeling insulted by this display of contempt.
Two crimson beams erupted from his vertical pupils, piercing the Blazing Sun.
With a flash of movement and a beat of his bat wings, he instantly closed the distance to Chen Feng.
"You lowly creature, you haven't even fully awakened your spiritual world!"
"How dare you compare yourself to me!"
Boom!!
The Wind Blades unleashed by his wings sliced through everything, tearing the ground into hundred-meter-deep ravines.
Yet Chen Feng remained unyielding, his Golden Qi armor shielding him without a flicker of evasion.
He weathered the so-called "space-rending" Wind Blades without so much as a tremor.
Even more astonishingly, he clenched his fist, Crimson Gold Flames swirling around it, and met the wolf-bat's claw, wreathed in blood-red arcs, head-on.
Boom!!
"Nothing is impossible!"
The shockwave exploded outward in a ten-kilometer radius, shattering the seabed, collapsing reefs, and forcing back the surging waves.
Amidst the thunderous explosions of shattering rock, Chen Feng stood at the center of the collapsing crater, his gaze locked onto the vertical pupils of the wolf-headed figure before him.
"Even angels are nothing more than this," he declared. "And today, I will kill you!"
Boom!!
His aura surged skyward, golden light erupting in a blinding burst. He unleashed a punch that tore through the air like a warship's main cannon, its fiery trail leaving devastation in its wake.
"Arrogant fool!" Shuster roared, refusing to yield. He countered with a punch of his own.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two clashed again, their fists colliding in a relentless barrage. In a single second, they exchanged ten, a hundred blows, shattering the seabed for kilometers around. The shockwaves even pierced the Barrier, reaching the outside world.
During the exchange, crimson lightning crackled through the dark clouds, striking down at Chen Feng. Crimson beams shot from the wolf-headed figure's vertical pupils, targeting his face.
Fearless and unwavering, Chen Feng neither flinched nor dodged. A cold smile flickered across his lips as he retracted all his golden light.
Boom!!
He weathered every attack head-on, compressing his Golden Body Qi to its absolute limit. Merging this refined energy with his already formidable Physical Body, he completely transcended the so-called rainbow iron extreme.
Furthermore, the undying true qi circulating within him stimulated his Acupoints, while the divine power of the Martial Arts Heavenly Gate amplified his entire being.
Boom!!
Their fists collided again, Chen Feng's gaze piercing Shuster's eyes, now wide with shock and fury.
The angel's blood-wreathed arm shattered once more. The golden light-encased fist followed through, striking Shuster squarely in the chest.
Thud!!
The fur-covered chest exploded, a gaping hole torn straight through it.
A golden pillar of energy erupted from behind Shuster, piercing through a kilometer and collapsing a new rocky reef.
"You can't kill me!"
Briefly stunned, Shuster roared in fury.
By now, he fully understood that his physical body was inferior to Chen Feng's. His only advantage lay in harnessing the projection power of the spiritual world—the endless blood hell origin—to exhaust Chen Feng to death.
"My power is limitless. This is my domain."
"You may wound me, but..."
Boom!!
"Enough talk!"
The radiant fist struck again, obliterating the wolf head.
Chen Feng's gaze swept past the burning, vaporizing angel flesh, surveying the blood-red sea that had been forced back by the shockwave.
"Endless? Then I'll kill you a thousand times, ten thousand times!"
"Your domain will be crushed into dust beneath my feet!"
Whoosh!!
His figure vanished, his arrogant voice echoing endlessly.
Chen Feng teleported away, using the power of Thunder Light to reach a kilometer away in an instant.
The blood-red sea reformed the angel's body. Without hesitation, he unleashed another devastating punch.
"You—!"
Boom!
Shuster's body, only half-formed, was blasted apart. He seethed with rage and frustration, yet remained helpless.
He desperately tried to delay Chen Feng by summoning the Black Tide, but Chen Feng's attacks were devastating. Each punch unleashed pillars of fiery light that shattered the void, obliterating any mutated creatures that dared emerge from the void rifts before they could even exert pressure.
The spatial rift portals were suppressed, making it impossible to reopen them.
"Incredible... just how strong is he?"
The onlookers on the distant ferry stared in awe. Yang Wudi, Celine, and the others clenched their fists, their faces etched with shock.
As Martial Artists, they understood better than anyone the immense difficulty of reaching Chen Feng's level. The gap between them was greater than the distance between an ordinary person and Transcendence—each step represented a new realm of power.
Boom!!
Another thunderous roar echoed across the battlefield.
Crimson flames erupted skyward, coalescing into a blazing sun that hung high above.
Within the Barrier, the crimson sea began to evaporate, its corrosive power suppressed and forced into a gradual retreat.
Yang Wudi and his companions felt the oppressive pressure ease.
Meanwhile, Shuster, his body shattered once more, seethed with fury, a flicker of doubt creeping into his eyes.
"He hasn't even fully awakened his spiritual world, yet he can suppress my power?"
"Could it be that Ancient Taiduo treasure?"
The thought flashed through his mind as the Blazing Sun hovered, radiating scorching heat in all directions.
Within the Barrier, the temperature soared, evaporating seawater, melting black mist, and annihilating living beings.
Chen Feng hung high in the air like a Sun God, his radiant flames continuously detaching from his body and merging with the Blazing Sun, causing it to expand relentlessly.
"Damn it!"
Shuster roared in fury, realizing Chen Feng's strategy.
The man intended to confront his sea of blood hell with brute force.
Under normal circumstances, Shuster would have dismissed such an approach with disdain, but Chen Feng possessed the sheer power to make it work.
He could clearly sense his mental projection being completely suppressed. Unless his true form fully descended, he had no way to counter it.
As the thought flashed through his mind, he saw Chen Feng suspended in the sky, his back to the spatial rift, his expression indifferent beneath the scorching sun.
"He's actually forcing me to..."
"Very well, then!"
Boom!!
The dark clouds trembled as crimson lightning struck down once more.
Deafening thunder reverberated like war drums. Chen Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, gazing upward.
Buzz!!
The Blazing Sun flared to life, expanding to over a kilometer in diameter.
Its explosive heat surged outward, transforming into Crimson Gold Flames that clashed against the lightning.
Just as it seemed poised to obliterate the lightning, even vaporizing the dark clouds to reveal the clear sky beyond,
Whoosh!
A sudden amber-colored beam erupted from a spatial rift, enveloping Chen Feng like a fossilized cocoon.
Space froze, and his body rapidly petrified, the golden light on his surface dimming into a dull, lifeless hue.
Chen Feng's gaze darkened as his Perception swept behind him.
Within the pitch-black spatial portal, a colossal entity stirred the Sea of Mist. Then, two rainbow-hued figures emerged, both possessing human bodies and serpentine heads.
"Heh."
"Shuster, it seems we'll have to intervene personally to resolve this."
The speaker wore amber-colored rock armor, maintaining the petrifying beam. His massive, muscular frame and serpentine tail—thick and dark as a stone pillar—exuded an oppressive aura.
"It's you."
Chen Feng narrowed his eyes, his body swiftly turning gray as he slowly pivoted to face his opponent.
One glance was enough to recognize him.
The Lava Lord, whom Chen Feng had thwarted in the Serpent Spirit World, denying him the chance to attack the Holy City.
Beside him stood a powerful Serpentfolk clad in black battle armor, crimson wings sprouting from his back.
Chen Feng's gaze turned icy as he met the crimson, vertical pupils of the Winged Serpent King, sensing that familiar aura of malevolence.
"A serpent god angel cooperating with an angel of the Crows of the Dead!" Star Spirit exclaimed in his mind, utterly bewildered by this unexpected alliance.
High above, the Blazing Sun, weakened by petrification, flickered like a dying flame.
Splash!
No sense of triumph accompanied the crimson sea's surging waves.
Shuster, who had intended to defeat Chen Feng alone, his face darkened. He once again drew upon the power of the sea of blood hell, coalescing into a towering form that stood upon the waves.
Determined to waste no more time, he roared with savage fury, launching the first strike.
"Enough talk! Kill him together!"
"Three angels?"
Hum!
Above, space warped and folded.
Within the suffocating sea of clouds, two figures stood locked in confrontation, their presence radiating divine power.
Focusing his gaze, Chen Feng saw that the speaker wore a long robe of white silk embroidered with golden patterns. His refined features appeared to be those of a man in his late twenties, with blue light flickering intermittently across his left cheek.
A flick of his long ponytail sent a gentle breeze rippling through the clouds, revealing the reflection of the crimson sea and blood-red Barrier tens of thousands of meters below in his Red Nation black eyes.
"Even now, you still try to stop me?"
"Do you intend to collude with the outer gods and betray us to the Black Tide?"
Clang!
The cold accusation rang out sharply, echoing like the clang of a sword.
Poised to unleash a devastating strike at any moment, the white-skinned man floating opposite narrowed his eyes but didn't retreat.
"Everything is for the sake of civilization."
His tone was calm as he stood barefoot on the sea of clouds, his back adorned with pristine white wings.
A long, pale yellow robe billowed in the wind, draping his perfectly proportioned, two-meter-tall frame. A faint golden aura radiated from him, imbuing him with an inexplicable sense of divinity.
"At our level, we've long transcended petty secular rules."
"What does a little sacrifice matter, so long as our goals are achieved?"
Though his voice remained steady, the sea of clouds above surged like a turbulent ocean.
His sharply defined features, sculpted as if by a master craftsman, seemed to embody perfect creation. His golden eyes captured the light, as if seeing the entire world, including the chaos of the Black Tide raging within Black Harbor City.
"High-sounding rhetoric."
"I care nothing for your federation, but..."
Her voice carried a hint of coldness as He Mulan flicked her ponytail.
Behind her, a colossal shadow silently materialized, blotting out the dome and engulfing the sea of clouds. An invisible sword of light materialized in her hand, as if she could cleave the heavens at any moment.
"Step aside!"
Clang!!
The sword's resonance surged like thunder.
The federal saint opposite her wore a frosty expression, the sea of clouds churning ceaselessly behind him.
"No one can interfere with our Plan."
"This is the price we pay for letting him run rampant without consequence. It's also the best opportunity for Earth to catch its breath."
Hum!
A colossal entity materialized behind him as well, resembling the sun and radiating boundless light.
"This is his glory, an opportunity countless others would kill for."
"If you interfere—"
"Enough talk!"
Clang!!
The sword's resonance surged again as He Mulan ruthlessly interrupted him. Her phoenix eyes blazed with fury, her exquisite face frozen in icy disdain.
"The fate of the Red Nation people is not yours to control."
"You want to stop me? Then face my sword again!"
