"Again!"
Xuan Ming let out a low roar, not retreating but instead actively charging forward!
He remembered the agreement, not using Blood Spear or Slaughter Domain. Today was just training, not a fight.
Boundless Sea!
This greatly enhances one's absolute control over water elements, allowing one to easily stir up massive tsunamis, create deep-sea whirlpools, and even temporarily alter the rules of a localized sea area. In the ocean, this Spirit Ability's effect is doubled, almost making one a Domain master.
With a thought, the calm sea surface below suddenly boiled! Several enormous water spouts roared into the sky, swirling towards Bo Saixi from all directions! At the same time, gravity within the area instantly doubled, and the seawater became viscous and heavy, attempting to restrict Bo Saixi's movements!
Bo Saixi's expression remained unchanged. Her Sea God Scepter gently tapped.
"Still."
Her words became law! The roaring water spouts and distorted gravitational field seemed to be forcibly smoothed by an invisible power, instantly returning to calm!
Might of the Sea God!
She tapped her Scepter again, and countless blue spears, highly compressed and condensed from the purest seawater, appeared out of thin air, shooting towards Xuan Ming like a sudden storm! Each spear contained terrifying power capable of penetrating everything!
Demon Whale Shattering Star Fist!
This condenses vast spirit power and the power of the deep sea into a fist. With one punch, it seems capable of mobilizing the power of the entire ocean, possessing terrifying destructive power that ignores defense and shatters everything. Its impact can even penetrate space and directly strike the soul. It is extremely powerful, but its consumption of spirit power is also terrifying.
As Xuan Ming unleashed this punch, Bo Saixi, who had been standing still since the start of the battle, had no choice but to resist with all her might. Even so, she was sent flying several hundred meters, and surging waves churned. The spectators also had to widen their distance again.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom—!!!
Huge splashes of water continuously exploded on the sea surface, and the deafening roar echoed!
Bo Saixi's attacks were like the raging tides of the ocean, continuous and boundless!
She seemed not to be using her full power, yet she firmly suppressed Xuan Ming, with every attack forcing Xuan Ming to respond with all his might!
Xuan Ming, on the other hand, was like a giant whale struggling in turbulent waves, constantly using Abyssal Whale Devour to consume and weaken the opponent's attack energy to replenish himself. At the same time, he continuously used Boundless Sea to change the battlefield environment, stirring up huge waves, creating whirlpools, and manipulating water pressure for interference and counterattack!
Occasionally, seizing an opportunity, he would unleash a Demon Whale Shattering Star Fist from a distance, its pulverizing power forcing Bo Saixi to parry seriously!
Their battle, without the tragic and frenzied intensity of his fight with Bibi Dong, was even more perilous and exquisite! It was the ultimate competition of control over the power of the ocean!
The Titled Douluo of the Seven Sacred Pillars, watching from afar, had rigid expressions and cold sweat on their foreheads.
Sea Dragon Douluo's voice was dry: "The Great Priestess's power… is even more unfathomable than before! Any one of these attacks, we wouldn't be able to withstand…"
Sea Horse Douluo stared intently at Xuan Ming, who was still stubbornly holding on and even occasionally counterattacking under Bo Saixi's barrage, his eyes filled with horror: "That kid… is he really human?! Taking so many attacks from the Great Priestess head-on, and he can still endure?!"
They felt their understanding of power was constantly being refreshed! The resilience Xuan Ming displayed and his use of that strange Domain were simply like… another Deep Sea Demon Whale King! Even more terrifying! Because he was still constantly learning and adapting!
On the other side, Snow Empress and Ice Empress also looked on with surprise.
Ice Empress couldn't help but say: "His control over the ocean… is improving so fast! He seemed a bit unskillful yesterday, but today he can already contend with the Great Priestess!"
A hint of understanding flashed in Snow Empress's clear eyes: "He is already extremely skilled at controlling ice and water, and their essences are connected. Before, in the Extreme North Land, his control over ice and snow had already reached its peak. Now, he is just adapting this control to the flowing ocean."
Zi Ji, with her arms crossed, her dragon eyes shimmering with a peculiar light, interjected: "Exactly. When I accompanied him in cultivation at the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest, he could already precisely control every flow of the lake water. Although still lake water and the flowing ocean are different, the underlying control logic is the same. All he lacked was time and experience to adapt."
And now, actual combat with Bo Saixi, this ruler of the ocean, was the best whetstone!
Time passed bit by bit, from early morning to noon, and then to late afternoon.
The battle remained fierce, but it wasn't as tragic and bloody as yesterday.
Bo Saixi's attacks were still magnificent and boundless, as if endless.
But Xuan Ming's resilience exceeded everyone's imagination! The Abyssal Whale Devour Domain was simply a bottomless pit, constantly devouring the energy dissipated from Bo Saixi's attacks and drawing power from the ocean to replenish his consumption!
This allowed him to endure Bo Saixi's fierce offensive for an entire day!
In Bo Saixi's sea-blue eyes, the surprise grew deeper and deeper.
She could feel that Xuan Ming was rapidly learning and imitating her attack methods and her use of the ocean's power! His responses became more composed, and his Spirit Ability transitions became smoother!
As the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sea a golden red, Bo Saixi slowly ceased her attacks.
She sensed her spirit power, which was already more than half consumed, and then looked at Xuan Ming opposite her. Although his aura was a bit chaotic and he had some minor scrapes, his eyes were still bright and his fighting spirit undiminished. A ripple of emotion stirred in her heart.
She… couldn't exhaust Xuan Ming with a full day of attacks? Instead, her own spirit power consumption was greater?
The recovery ability of the Abyssal Whale Devour Domain in a prolonged battle was simply too abnormal!
"Thank you." Xuan Ming slowly retracted his Domain.
Bo Saixi looked at him, a complex smile appearing on her dignified face, and gently shook her head: "It is your own astonishing comprehension. Given time, on this vast ocean, I fear no one will be your match."
Her words came from the heart. Xuan Ming's growth speed and his adaptability to power startled even her.
"However, why is your defense so strange?" Bo Saixi couldn't help but ask.
Xuan Ming often chose to withstand her attacks head-on today. When she integrated the power of the ocean into her attacks, even Tang Chen back then wouldn't dare to clash with her directly.
But Xuan Ming actually endured it with just his body!
She felt as if she was clashing with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King!
"Spirit Bone ability." Xuan Ming stood on the sea surface, his surging vital energy gradually stabilizing.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's torso bone, combined with the abyssal dragon king torso bone formed from the fusion of the two Dragon Kings' dragon bone energy, has a passive ability, Abyssal Dragon King Torso, possessing ultimate defense below the god level. At the same time, the body can simultaneously compatible and perfectly control three attributes: ultimate water (abyssal attribute), ultimate ice, and ultimate fire, causing a qualitative change in total spirit power and recovery speed.
If it wasn't for special Spirit Abilities that ignore defense, like Bibi Dong's Eternal Creation, or terrifying powers like Bo Saixi's directly mobilizing the ocean's power to smash him, the attacks of an ordinary Titled Douluo would be no different from an itch to him.
Currently, in terms of defensive power, he was comparable to Di Tian.
"Spirit Bone…" Bo Saixi's eyes slightly changed.
"Since it's a million-year torso bone, there should be other Spirit Abilities. Aren't you going to try them?"
"Try?" Xuan Ming frowned slightly and shook his head.
"A bit dangerous."
Bo Saixi was slightly taken aback, "Don't worry, this is still within the Sea God Island's range. I can borrow the power of the Sea God Hall, even if…"
"My point is, even if you borrow the Sea God's divine force, you won't be able to stop it," Xuan Ming said.
Xuan Ming's words made a hint of surprise flash in Bo Saixi's sea-blue eyes, but it was immediately replaced by even stronger curiosity.
As the Great Priestess of the Sea God, she had presided over Sea God Island for nearly a hundred years. With the power of the Sea God Hall, she was confident she could face any challenge in this sea area, even the Deep Sea Demon Whale King wouldn't dare to offend her.
But the absolute confidence revealed in Xuan Ming's calm tone made her have to be cautious.
"Even the Sea God's divine force can't stop it?" Bo Saixi frowned slightly, her tone carrying a hint of inquiry, "Are you sure?"
"Not only can't it be stopped, but… you will die," Xuan Ming said seriously.
Bo Saixi was silent for a moment. She believed Xuan Ming's judgment; although his fighting style was fierce, he never exaggerated. Her curiosity grew even stronger. What kind of Spirit Ability would make Xuan Ming believe it was enough to directly kill her?
She was already a demigod, and if she borrowed the divine force from the Sea God Hall, in this vast ocean, she would be no different from a true God.
But Xuan Ming actually believed his attack was enough to kill her, which meant his attack… was enough to slay a god!
"In that case," Bo Saixi mused, "I won't take it head-on. But… could you let me witness it? Just unleash it towards an uninhabited sea area."
She truly wanted to see what this Spirit Ability, described by Xuan Ming as "enough to slay a god," truly looked like.
Not far away, Snow Empress, Ice Empress, Zi Ji, and others also pricked up their ears. They were equally curious about Xuan Ming's newly acquired ability. Especially hearing the words "enough to slay a god" sent shivers through their hearts.
Xuan Ming looked at the undisguised desire for exploration in Bo Saixi's eyes, then glanced at the others around him who also looked expectant. He pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Alright. But we need to find a place far enough and deep enough."
He turned to the huge Devil Spirit Great White Shark King in the sea: "Xiao Bai, lead the way. Find a deep-sea area far from Sea God Island and any other islands, with a depth exceeding ten thousand meters."
Xiao Bai's huge head nodded, letting out a low whale cry, and then turned and swam towards the distant sea.
Everyone followed closely, flying for about half an hour. The surroundings were already a vast expanse of ocean, with no islands in sight. The color of the seawater below also became increasingly deep, presenting a nearly inky blue.
"This is the place." Xiao Bai stopped, her massive body floating on the sea surface, her golden eyes looking at Xuan Ming, "This sea area is over fifteen thousand meters deep, with a trench below and no signs of life."
Xuan Ming floated in the air, sensing the deep, cold, and immensely pressurized sea area below, and nodded: "Alright."
He took a deep breath, and the aura around him began to undergo earth-shattering changes.
His previously restrained spirit power began to awaken and boil like a volcano! The dark red slaughter aura and the deep blue-black ocean power did not manifest. Instead, what appeared was a more primitive, more tyrannical, as if transcending everything… the might of a Dragon King!
His body emitted a faint white glow, especially his torso. The Abyssal Dragon King Torso Bone, which fused the million-year torso bone of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and the original dragon bones of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, was now emitting terrifying energy fluctuations that made hearts palpitate!
Xuan Ming slowly clasped his hands in front of his chest. All of his spirit power, mental force, and even his vast, ocean-like physical strength, began to compress and condense into his hands at an extremely terrifying speed!
Buzz—!!!
Centered on him, the space within a thousand meters began to distort and tremble! The sea surface below silently concave into a giant whirlpool, as if unable to bear the terrifying power about to erupt!
Bo Saixi, the Titled Douluo of the Seven Sacred Pillars, Snow Empress, Ice Empress… all the spectators' expressions changed drastically!
They could clearly feel that the energy gathering between Xuan Ming's hands had already reached a terrifying level that made their souls tremble! It was a pure, ultimate power, born only for destruction!
