Chapter 159: Peak Battle.
2023-04-04 Author: Fu Hejun
"Rumble—!!!!"
Streaks of thunder converged as the dark clouds that covered the sky continuously poured down torrential rain.
Below, numerous Soul Masters frantically searched for shelter, while only a few experts still stared intently at the sky above. Where the wind and clouds converged, a point of light gradually appeared!
The torrential rain suddenly seemed to be pulled and, incredibly, flowed backward, condensing into a tornado in the air. This formed a terrifying storm that swept everything around it. On the ground, countless plants and trees were uprooted, merging into the storm!
At this moment, everyone present felt as if they were in the ocean, with nowhere to land, unable to control themselves. They could only tremble as they faced the approaching storm.
In just a short moment.
The terrain, originally surrounded by mountains and bathed in bright sunlight, was completely ravaged by this fierce storm. In its place was a damp marsh, with rainwater accumulating and the water level continuously rising.
Fortunately, for a better view of the battle, everyone was on the mountainside or hilltop; if they had been at the base of the mountain, they would have long been buried by the floods brought by the rain.
"Calling the wind and summoning the rain, gathering water to form a sea… Is this the Sea God Successor? Truly terrifying!" Bibi Dong looked at the surrounding terrain submerged by the flood, her eyes unable to hide her shock. This was truly a manifestation of the Sea God's divine authority.
Even on the continent, he could condense dark clouds, summon rain, and submerge the land, creating an environment suitable for battle. It was simply terrifying!
Bibi Dong felt that this Sea God Successor was unreasonably strong. He was already like this before achieving godhood; what would happen if he became a god?
"Buzz—!!!!"
The void vibrated.
From the center of the dark clouds above, a beam of golden light shot down.
It landed on the highest mountain here.
The heroic man holding the Sea God's Trident appeared.
"Where is the Lord of White Cloud City!"
His majestic voice was incredibly penetrating.
Even the terrifying thunder in the sky and the raging storm could not block the transmission of this voice. The numerous Soul Masters struggling in the storm on the surrounding mountains couldn't help but be startled. Most of them finally realized that this sudden, terrifying storm was caused by this very person.
"Holy crap, is this a Limit Douluo?!"
"Controlling the weather—this is no different from a god!"
"I'm starting to regret coming here."
"The commotion is already this huge before the fight has even begun. When they really start fighting later… are we sure we'll be safe?"
"I've had the fortune to witness Titled Douluo battles before, but I've never seen anything so exaggerated… The commotion is this huge before they've even started? Why do I feel like Titled Douluo and Limit Douluo are from two completely different realms?!"
"Could this be the difference between someone with a divine inheritance and a regular Soul Master?"
Many people were bewildered, but a few knew the truth. This wasn't a difference between a god's successor and a regular Soul Master, but rather that this individual's own talent was so monstrous that it allowed him to create such an exaggerated scene.
"Ye Mou is here!"
A clear voice pierced through the dense curtain of rain, reverberating between heaven and earth.
As soon as he spoke.
On the hilltop opposite Neptune, a figure in white robes quietly appeared.
Black hair and white robes, ethereal as an immortal~
With him at the center, within a hundred-meter radius, rain could not fall, and wind could not enter. It was so pristine, as if he were in another world.
These two protagonists of the day confronted each other from hundreds of meters away!
One held the Sea God's Trident, calling clouds and summoning rain, commanding wind and thunder! He appeared like the embodiment of this world's Heavenly Punishment, filled with an unparalleled sense of oppression.
The other stood with his hands behind his back, as calm as water. It was as if he formed his own heaven and earth; no matter how the external storms and thunder raged with immense power, he remained serenely unmoving, indifferent to all creation.
The spectating Soul Masters gazed at these two formidable figures, so terrified by the aura they unintentionally emitted that they couldn't even speak. Most of them felt that if they could possess even one-tenth of these two's power in this lifetime—no! one-hundredth—they would have no regrets.
"City Lord Ye, be careful!"
Suddenly, Neptune raised the Sea God's Trident in his hand, making the first move.
As the Sea God's Light burst forth, the trident mark on his forehead and the Sea God's Trident in his hand simultaneously lit up. His azure eyes completely turned golden at this moment, and his already terrifying aura surged once more!
As the Sea God's Trident pointed forward, a powerful beam of golden light erupted from the central, largest blade. It transformed into a shocking rainbow that shot straight towards Ye Cheng, hundreds of meters away, aiming to kill.
"..."
Ye Cheng said nothing more. He extended his right hand and made a grasping motion in the air, and the crystal longsword, which looked like a work of art, appeared. Simultaneously, nine soul rings emerged around his body. Facing this god-level power, he dared not be as arrogant as he was when facing Sword Douluo.
The light of the Flying Rainbow Sword flared brightly!
He raised his sword and slashed!
A crescent-shaped, incandescent sword light flew out.
It instantly collided with the golden light blade emitted from the Sea God's Trident.
"Bang—!!!"
Amidst the resounding boom, the violent collision triggered a howling energy storm, sweeping towards the surrounding mountains.
"Rumble—!!!!"
Although this was merely a probing attack from the two, the shockwave generated by their collision blasted cracks into the hilltop. Even the spectating Soul Masters who were far away could feel the ground beneath their feet trembling!
"So... so terrifying!"
"It was merely a probing strike..."
"The aftershocks of the battle, even from this far away, made my qi and blood surge..."
"I think we should move even further away!"
Many Soul Masters who were "closer," feeling the terrifying shockwave that nearly hit them, turned utterly pale and immediately fled to greater distances as if escaping for their lives.
In the shadows.
"So strong!"
Bibi Dong's entire body couldn't help but tense up. With her current strength, blocking such a casual strike from them would not be easy. She might even suffer minor injuries.
"What's with these two's soul power? Why is it so vast?! Is this truly the soul power a Limit Douluo possesses?" Feeling their seemingly boundless might, she couldn't help but marvel secretly.
If even Bibi Dong, who possessed a divine inheritance, reacted this way, the other Titled Douluo hidden in the shadows naturally fared even worse. Many even began to doubt whether they were truly Soul Masters of the same realm. Otherwise, why were these two so powerful? As fellow Titled Douluo, even with a gap of a few ranks, could the difference really be this great?
In truth, these people didn't know that Ye Cheng and Neptune were monstrous individuals who were basically cheating. Because their soul power had condensed into a soul core, it was fundamentally different in both quantity and quality from those who lacked one.
If the soul power of these ordinary Soul Masters was like mist, then the soul power within Ye Cheng's and Neptune's bodies was water condensed from that mist to its absolute limit. Or, to use this world's terminology, it should be called divine power!
The so-called divine power wasn't actually that mysterious. Both divine power and soul power are types of energy. As long as one can continuously purify the quality of their soul power, then after reaching a certain degree, this high-quality soul power can be called divine power!
P.S. In the previous chapter, Bibi Dong's cultivation was changed to Rank 98.
