On the sea, two hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast kings led tens of thousands of sea Soul Beasts to surround the two giant ships, the Star Luo and the Douluo.
The weakest of these sea Soul Beasts were at least a thousand years old, and there were nearly a thousand ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts among them. Such a terrifying number was comparable to the once-great Star Dou Great Forest. The situation for the humans was far from optimistic.
Cai Yue'er's expression was grave as she looked at the two hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts and said in a deep voice, "I don't know who this 'Divine Son' you speak of is. We are merely passing through this sea area and have no intention of conflicting with you. Step aside, and we will not interfere with each other. Otherwise, do you really think that just the two of you, hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts, can stop us? Humans never have too many hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the auras of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and the Devil Spirit Great White Shark King visibly became more frenzied, and the pressure of the hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts was fully unleashed.
"Roar—" A low, angry roar sounded, followed by a massive water column shooting straight towards Cai Yue'er.
"Arrogant humans!" At the same time, an angry voice spoke.
"You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!" Cai Yue'er snorted coldly, her right hand pointing to the sky. A silver moon appeared in the sky, and the originally bright daylight instantly dimmed. Silver-white moonlight cascaded down, colliding with the massive water column and producing an earth-shattering explosion.
The water column disintegrated, and the silver moon hung high in the sky. A terrifying, abyssal aura erupted from Cai Yue'er's body.
This terrifying aura not only intimidated the two sea Soul Beast kings but also shook the human experts floating in the air, causing a single term to flash through their minds.
Super Douluo!
As Cai Yue'er unleashed her power without restraint, the world around her darkened. Within this area, only the silver moon behind her shone with dazzling brilliance. Rings of Soul Rings flew out from behind her, and Cai Yue'er's appearance underwent a dramatic transformation. Her white hair turned black, and her slightly hunched, withered frame transformed into a youthful, willow-like figure. In the blink of an eye, Cai Yue'er had changed from an old woman into a stunning beauty.
On the balcony, Jing Shaoyu noticed Leng Yaozhu's slight sneer as she muttered under her breath, "Little girl!"
Faced with Cai Yue'er's overwhelming presence, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and the Devil Spirit Great White Shark King remained silent. But in the next moment, countless whirlpools rose from the sea, rapidly converging and surging towards the two giant ships.
The battle was about to begin.
Cai Yue'er's eyes were cold as she stepped into the void, instantly appearing above the two hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts. Her body shimmered with silver light, and a magnificent Three-Word Battle Armor instantly covered her figure. With the enhancement of the Three-Word Battle Armor, her strength surged to the level of a 98th-rank Super Douluo, her power awe-inspiring.
At the same time, the other four experts also released their Battle Armors. Without exception, they were all Three-Word Battle Armor Masters, Titled Douluos.
"This is your last chance. Retreat now!" Cai Yue'er shouted sternly.
Faced with Cai Yue'er's ultimatum, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and the Demon Soul Great White Shark King did not respond, for an even more terrifying figure emerged from the sea behind them. The moment it appeared, the distant sky turned a bright blue, as if the ocean had inverted and invaded the heavens. This bizarre phenomenon rapidly spread, painting the sky in this region with a scene that left people utterly astonished.
On one side was a silver moon hanging high in the sky, while on the other, the deep sea seemed to float in the air. The two phenomena clashed fiercely, creating a spectacle that was both awe-inspiring and terrifying.
Cai Yue'er's expression turned grave, and a trace of worry flickered in her eyes. The aura released by the suddenly appearing figure was no weaker than her own.
It was a creature with the upper body of a human and the lower body of an octopus. It hovered in the air, exuding a cold and terrifying presence, quickly overwhelming Cai Yue'er and the other four human powerhouses.
"Leave her to me. You go find the Divine Child!" it commanded.
"A Ferocious Beast!" Leng Yaozhu murmured softly, her eyes finally showing a hint of seriousness.
"Teacher, is that an octopus?" Jing Shaoyu asked, his expression somewhat strange as he looked at the octopus-like creature. Its face bore an uncanny resemblance to an old acquaintance of his—a legendary time mage.
"The Deep Sea Demon Octopus King, with a cultivation level exceeding three hundred thousand years," Leng Yaozhu replied. "This time, we're truly in trouble."
"A Ferocious Beast with three hundred thousand years of cultivation!" Jing Shaoyu couldn't help but click his tongue. This was on par with the Red King. The ocean was indeed a place where dragons and tigers lurked. He then asked, "But shouldn't a Ferocious Beast of this level be nothing in front of you, Teacher?"
"While that may be true, look over there," Leng Yaozhu said, pointing to the sea behind the Deep Sea Demon Octopus King.
Jing Shaoyu followed her gaze and was immediately stunned. Rising from the sea were three more colossal beasts: a Demonic Tiger Whale, a Deep Sea Ice Dragon, and a Demonic Starfish. Each of them was a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast!
One Ferocious Beast and five hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts—this level of high-end combat power was comparable to a small-scale beast tide.
The Deep Sea Demon Octopus King transformed into its true form—a massive blue octopus with a diameter exceeding a kilometer. Its tentacles whipped through the air, carrying vast amounts of seawater as they crashed down furiously toward Cai Yue'er.
"Roar—" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King let out a deafening roar, and all the sea Soul Beasts in the area seemed to hear the call to attack. They surged toward the two massive ships.
The real battle had begun.
In response to the assault of the sea Soul Beasts, the two ships fired their cannons. The soul cannons on both sides of the ships had already been activated, unleashing a barrage of soul cannon fire onto the sea. Each shot sent up waves dozens of meters high, shredding several thousand-year Soul Beasts into pieces. Rings of purple Soul Rings, varying in depth, appeared on the surface of the water.
At the same time, some of the more powerful passengers had already joined the battle voluntarily. This was a life-and-death crisis, and no one wanted to end up as fish food. So, no one was thinking about self-preservation.
In the air, the four Titled Douluo, aside from Cai Yue'er, each faced off against a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast. However, since they were over the ocean and lacked the advantage of their home terrain, they could only barely hold their own against the beasts, unable to gain the upper hand.
Wu Zhangkong had already joined the battle by this point. Along with several other Soul Douluos and Soul Saints, he actively engaged the hundred-thousand-year sea star, preventing it from getting any closer to the massive ship.
"Brother, should we make a move too?" Na'er asked.
Although the top-tier Soul Beasts were being held back by the human experts, the remaining high-tier, mid-tier, and low-tier Soul Beasts were far too numerous. They continuously attacked the two massive ships, which, despite their protective barriers, were still swaying precariously, with the risk of being sunk.
Jing Shaoyu glanced at Leng Yaozhu, who smiled at him and said, "You all go ahead. I can't make a move yet. My intuition tells me there's an even stronger Soul Beast nearby that hasn't shown itself yet."
Her words left the seven of them, including Jing Shaoyu, stunned. If a three-hundred-thousand-year Ferocious Beast wasn't the strongest, then what kind of power must the hidden sea Soul Beast possess? Could it possibly be a Ferocious Beast over five hundred thousand years old?
However, they didn't have time to dwell on it. All the combatants on the two massive ships had already been deployed, but the sea Soul Beasts still held the absolute upper hand. Although the strength of the seven of them wasn't enough to turn the tide, they could at least alleviate the situation somewhat.
Jing Shaoyu looked at the six girls and said in a deep voice, "Follow me!"
With that, he charged out from the balcony, releasing his Origin Elf Soul. A deep blue light flew out from the Crown of Nature and landed on the sea surface below.
The blue light dispersed, transforming into a massive, colorful plant that resembled a disc, covering a vast area of the sea with a diameter of nearly fifty meters. At the same time, it emitted a strange, multicolored glow, causing the surrounding sea Soul Beasts to scatter like mice encountering a cat, swimming away from it as fast as they could.
A fifty-thousand-year Seven-Colored Sea God Grass!
Jing Shaoyu landed directly on the Seven-Colored Sea God Grass, standing firmly on it. The leaves of the Seven-Colored Sea God Grass were not only broad but also thick, making it feel like standing on soft sand. Most importantly, the Seven-Colored Sea God Grass emitted a peculiar fragrance that reduced the physical and Soul Power consumption of nearby creatures, making it an excellent support-type Soul Beast.
"Everyone, come down," Jing Shaoyu called up to the six girls.
"Wow! Such a huge grass! It's so beautiful!" Xu Xiaoyan exclaimed, voicing the shared sentiment of the others.
Without hesitation, everyone jumped down from the balcony, landing steadily on the leaves of the Seven-Colored Sea God Grass. Immediately, without delay, the seven of them began to prevent the nearby sea Soul Beasts from attacking the Star Luo.
Meanwhile, far away, the blue-haired girl standing atop the head of the black unicorn whale suddenly changed her expression, her eyes filled with boundless joy. She shouted, "It's appeared! It's appeared! Uncle Black, hurry, let's go over there!"
"As you command, Your Highness."
Brothers, I'm begging for monthly votes!
