"Boom!"

A terrifying explosion of energy caused the entire sea to churn violently. The three naval fleets, which had already retreated very far into the distance, were hurled up into the air by the resulting turbulent waves. Many of the smaller ships were on the verge of capsizing, but thankfully, they were able to maintain their balance as they were connected to the larger ships.

From the perspective of the three naval fleets, they could only see an explosion of purplish-golden and blue light in the distance, and it was as if doomsday had arrived!

All of this had unfolded far too abruptly, and the terrifying explosion seemed to be heralding the destruction of this world.

Demon Sovereign was repelled up into the air, but merely harrumphed coldly, "Let's see how much longer you'll be able to burn through your life force to draw upon the Sea God's power. You are still a mortal, not a god, yet I am already a god!"

In the next instant, the blue and purplish-golden light had already transformed the sea into another world.

In the core circle of the northernmost region.

Dragon's roars rang out around Long Yeyue's body as her twin light and dark dragons tore an abyssal emperor's body to shreds.

As the most powerful being of Shrek Academy, she had led the Limit Douluos of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy onto the battlefield, and with the assistance of Gu Yuena and the Spirit Pagoda's powerful beings, they were able to stabilize the situation.

They were currently situated on the most important battlefield, and there were already over 30 abyssal emperors and sovereigns on this battlefield, led by the Spirit Sovereign.

Gu Yuena was just barely holding her own against the Spirit Sovereign, while everyone else was battling the other abyssal emperors and sovereigns.

All of these powerful abyssal beings possessed varied and diverse abilities, particularly the abyssal sovereigns. Aside from Guan Yue, who held the slight upper hand over the Black Sovereign, even the human quasigods were finding it very difficult to keep these abyssal sovereigns at bay in one-on-one battles.

All of the abyssal rulers above the 30th level were more powerful than human demigods, and they were proving to be extremely formidable opponents, especially for the Limit Douluos who didn't possess suits of four-word battle armor.

In contrast, there were only under 20 Limit Douluos on the human side, so the situation had only been stabilized, but wasn't improving at all.

Among the Limit Douluos, the most eye-catching one wasn't Long Yeyue, who had just slain an abyssal emperor, nor was it the combination of the Heartless Douluo and the Amorous Douluo, who were unleashing their almighty soul fusion skill. Instead, it was Holy Spirit Douluo Yali, who was situated at the center of the battlefield with holy light revolving around her body, virtually controlling the entire battle.

She had a leaf from the secondary tree of life in her mouth to replenish her life energy, and the holy light radiating from her body was encompassing the entire battlefield.12 six-winged archangel's were revolving around her, casting all types of enhancements onto the powerful beings of the human race.

Her holy light wasn't as effective against abyssal creatures as it was against Evil Soul Masters, but it was still extremely potent, and it was her presence on the battlefield that allowed the human army to just barely maintain a tenuous balance.

The only problem was that after being killed, the abyssal energy of the slain abyssal creatures would instantly escape.

Gu Yuena's Silver Dragon Spear was capable of devouring abyssal energy, but under the restriction of the Spirit Sovereign's Divine Origin realm spiritual power, her devouring ability was greatly suppressed.

Thus, even though hordes upon hordes of abyssal creatures were being slain, the abyssal plane wasn't actually losing much energy.

The area around Gu Yuena had already transformed into a sea of rainbow light, and all types of elemental attacks were being unleashed to bombard the Spirit Sovereign. The Spirit Sovereign was keeping her occupied, and she was doing the same thing.

The Spirit Sovereign's spiritual power was simply far too immense. Even a normal Abyssal Spirit Dragon was having an extremely significant impact on the battlefield; if the Spirit Sovereign were to take over control of the battlefield, then the human army would be completely doomed.

Thus, she was doing everything in her power to keep him occupied so he wouldn't have any spare capacity to exert his influence on the battlefield.

As the battle raged on, Gu Yuena was occasionally stealing urgent glances at the powerful beings of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy.

Where is he? 

Why was it that all of the powerful beings of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy were present, but he was nowhere to be seen? There was no reason for him not to be on this battlefield!

With their spiritual connection, she would definitely be able to sense him if he were merely concealing himself nearby, but she was completely unable to sense his aura.

Where could he have gone?

If he had been present, perhaps everything would be different. At the very least, it wouldn't be so easy for the abyssal energy to escape.

Shrek's Six Monsters had already appeared on the battlefield, but he wasn't with them.

Not only were these thoughts racing through her mind, the same questions were being pondered by the powerful beings of the Spirit Pagoda and the Battle God Hall.

Where was Tang Wulin?

...... 

Golden light flashed, and Tang Wulin fell onto the ground again with a dejected expression. On this occasion, he didn't want to get up anymore.

The energy expenditure wasn't all that significant, but he had already exhausted all of his tactics. He had tried all of his abilities and everything that he could think of, but no matter what he did, he still couldn't defeat his father.

Throughout this entire process, Tang San perpetually wore a faint smile and appraised him with warmth and benevolence, but he most definitely wasn't holding back in battle.

Even Tang Wulin himself had lost count of how many times he had been defeated.

The most troublesome thing was Unpredictable Storm. No matter what he did, as soon as his father unleashed Unpredictable Storm, the battle would be all but over.

He had his own Dragon Emperor Restriction Techniques, but compared with Unpredictable Storm, the former was looking entirely lackluster.

"I can't beat you," Tang Wulin said with a wry smile.

Tang San smiled, and said, "Let's go again."

Tang Wulin replied, "I can't beat you no matter how many times we go again! Even if our powers are at the same level, you have way more experience than me, and even more importantly, your Sea God's Trident is too potent against me."

Tang San's smile became even more pronounced as he suddenly handed the Sea God's Trident over to Tang Wulin. "Alright, then why don't we swap?"

"What?" Tang Wulin didn't understand what his father was proposing.

"Come on! You're saying it's unfair because I hold the Sea God's Trident, right? Then let's swap. Give me your Golden Dragon Spear," Tang San said with a smile.

Tang Wulin reflexively handed over his Golden Dragon Spear in exchange for the Sea God's Trident.

In the instant his hand closed around the Sea God's Trident, an unprecedented feeling of power instantly surged into his body.

This was an indescribable sensation, as if an entire ocean of boundless vitality had been instantly injected into his body.

He had been able to draw upon some of the power of the Sea God's Trident in the past, but this was completely different. For the very first time, he felt like this transcendent divine weapon had become a part of his own body, and as he wielded it, it was as if he had become one with the entire sea.

To call this a wonderful feeling would be a massive understatement. All of his physical and mental exhaustion was instantly swept away, and he reached an unprecedented peak.

The power contained within the Sea God's Trident wasn't fierce or violent in the slightest. Instead, it was a boundless and all-encompassing type of energy.
