Chapter 164: The End, A Draw.
By Fu Hejun
Once everyone on site, tens of thousands of people, began to shine with a multicolored light, firmly protected by the Body Protection Divine Light released by Ye Cheng, the gigantic whale covering the entire sky finally descended with a terrifying howl, like a meteorite falling from the heavens!
“Boom!”
Before the whale even touched the ground, the terrifying pressure wave it carried had already forced the ground down by several meters, crushing trees. And as it drew closer, that pressure continued to intensify!
If not for the Body Protection Divine Light released by Ye Cheng, the tens of thousands of people present, apart from those Soul Saints and above with powerful physiques, would have been crushed into a paste of flesh and blood by the accompanying pressure long before the whale even landed!
Such terrifying pressure was absolutely not something anyone could withstand.
But now, with the protection of Ye Cheng's Nine Treasures Body Protection Divine Light, no one present felt any pressure. They could only gauge how terrifying the descending pressure was by observing the ground around them suddenly sink and the mountains gradually collapse and shatter.
If not for this layer of multicolored light protecting them... everyone shivered instinctively at the thought of that consequence. Goosebumps erupted all over their bodies, and their faces were filled with lingering fear. Who could have imagined that spectating a battle would nearly cost them their lives?
“I wonder if this layer of light can block that whale in the sky…” someone suddenly spoke, voicing the thoughts of everyone present. Many people instinctively nodded in agreement.
Because the Nine Treasures Body Protection Divine Light, in addition to defense, also came with the ability to dispel negative states, the crowd enveloped by the divine light remained incredibly calm, even with the gigantic whale bearing down on them.
Everyone looked up at the sky, watching the enormous whale that covered the entire firmament as it approached them at a speed that seemed slow due to its immense size, but was actually incredibly fast.
Until... it completely enveloped everything before their eyes.
“BOOM—!!!!!”
The colossal whale, over ten thousand meters long, crashed heavily onto the ground. Instantly, its form disintegrated, reverting to a current of water... or rather, a flood!
The scene looked as if a water-filled balloon had exploded. In terms of visual effect, it was no less impactful than a nuclear bomb explosion!
The terrifying torrent that burst forth swept away the mountain range and shattered the land!
The surrounding terrain, originally a basin of mountains, was completely annihilated by the impact of this deluge!
The raging flood spread wildly, and the force of the current caused the land to tremble, as if a truly massive earthquake had struck.
It was fortunate that Ye Cheng chose a desolate location for their battle; otherwise, the aftermath alone would have likely harmed countless people.
A long time passed.
When everything had settled down, the original dueling site had been completely transformed.
The mountain range and land had completely vanished.
In their place was a vast lake!
Looking down from above, anyone seeing this lake would know it was man-made. This was because the lake was a perfect circle, covering an area of a thousand li.
Reflecting the azure sky, it was like a circular mirror.
Clearly, Neptune's Extreme Evil Method - Whale Devour and Destroy! It truly lived up to its name as a large-scale destructive technique.
With a single move, it destroyed a thousand li of mountain ranges and earth veins.
It had forcibly created a lake.
It was simply terrifying!
At this moment, in this newly formed lake, a head suddenly broke through the still-turbulent water surface.
“Huff, huff!!”
The person gasped heavily, residual fear still lingering in their eyes, and said with lasting apprehension, “I almost thought I was going to die!”
After this person, many more people successively emerged from the turbulent water around them, gasping heavily for air.
After some more time, people continued to emerge from the bottom of the lake, breaking through the surface and breathing the fresh air like survivors of a calamity.
Facing the torrent that nearly destroyed everything, these Soul Masters profoundly realized their own insignificance. They had no ability to resist whatsoever, carried along by the current against their will, mixed with sand, rock, and mud, and pressed firmly to the bottom of the lake.
If it weren't for the dazzling, multicolored light still enveloping them, a clear sign the Body Protection Divine Light was still protecting them, even Soul Masters would have likely suffocated to death after being trapped underwater for so long.
“Wait!”
“No way, are they still going to fight?!”
“Oh my god?!”
“Are they really going to go again?!”
The crowd on site suddenly wailed.
It was all because of the two extremely conspicuous phantoms at the center of the lake.
One was in the shape of a pagoda, nine-colored and estimated to be at least several hundred meters tall. Even from afar, everyone could clearly see the textures and details on it, as if this pagoda was not a phantom, but truly existed.
The other was a humanoid phantom. Clad in golden armor and holding the Sea God Trident, it was also several hundred meters tall, its face clearly that of Neptune.
Both of them were in phantom forms. When the flood erupted, the spectators were swept to the edges. Thus, they were too far away to clearly see the current situation of these two.
But just from those incredibly conspicuous, hundreds-of-meters-tall phantoms, they knew that the battle between these two was likely not over. In fact, judging by their stance, they seemed poised to fight again.
“Please, stop fighting.”
“If you keep fighting, I'm going to die.”
“Damn it, these two are definitely gods, right?! Can a Titled Douluo be this strong?!”
“If this isn't considered a god, then what is?!”
“You two great gods! Please put away your divine abilities!”
“If this continues, my nerves are going to shatter from fright.”
The numerous low-level Soul Masters present wailed endlessly, and even the high-level Soul Masters wore grim expressions. They had originally just wanted to comprehend something from the battle between the two. At first, it was fine; they had indeed gained some insights from their fight.
However, as it went on, these two powerhouses became increasingly outrageous, displaying abilities that exceeded the scope of their understanding.
In their eyes, the methods these two currently employed absolutely belonged to the domain of deities!
It was definitely not something they, as mortals, could hope to witness.
Just then, the crowd soaking in the water suddenly noticed the layer of multicolored light enveloping their bodies gradually fade, eventually vanishing completely.
They instinctively looked into the distance and indeed saw the nine-storied glazed pagoda also slowly fade away, like a phantom.
And along with the disappearance of this pagoda, the gigantic Sea God phantom also vanished.
“Are they... not fighting anymore?!” the crowd thought with some trepidation.
The majestic voices that followed confirmed their suspicions.
“Brother Ni, today's battle ends in a draw.”
“Confined by this small place, many techniques could not be fully utilized. When we meet again, we must have a proper match.”
This clear voice belonged to Ye Cheng.
“Certainly.”
“If Brother Ye is willing, you are welcome to be a guest on Sea God Island.”
This resonant voice belonged to Neptune.
From the voices of these two, everyone knew the battle had ended. However, according to them, the reason they stopped fighting was not because a victor was decided, but purely because the crowd around them was in the way, preventing them from cutting loose and fighting to their hearts' content.
This left everyone speechless.
