That Sea God just sat quietly upon a pitch-black, utterly dark ocean, her long silver-white hair fluttering gently with the sea breeze. Her sharp gaze stared out across this dark, silent maritime region, while an extremely distorted purple aurora flickered along the horizon.
She just sat there quietly! Because of her, this stretch of ocean was filled with a unique aesthetic of tranquility and evil.
"You really are composed! It seems you are a bit smarter than that utterly arrogant divine sense! But that is all..." Skadi casually swirled the seawater in her hand, then casually flicked it, shooting it toward a certain spot in the sky.
With a sharp tear, the seawater sliced open a rift in space like a blade, and a beam of seven-colored light inadvertently revealed itself.
'This is the power of the plane! A natural product of nature. When the spatial defensive grand array against the Abyssal Plane is activated, a small amount of the plane's power will supplement the space.'
The knowledgeable Titled Douluos already recognized what this thing was, and they also realized what was about to happen next...
That leaked seven-colored light transformed into a barrier, restraining the Sea God and blocking the prying eyes of the Limit Douluos from the outside world.
"What's wrong, Spirit of the Plane? Discovered that you can't order a certain someone around? After all~ you won't say this, and you won't say that! You only ever come out with the phrase 'this is for your own good'! It's still quite difficult to command a normal person."
"After all, sincerity is exchanged for sincerity. Conspiracies and intrigues are, in the end, minor tricks, and all the means you could use have already been broken by me." Skadi was breaking down Tang Hao's psychological defenses bit by bit, attempting to make him come out from that core space of the Spirit of the Plane to strike her.
"The Abyssal Plane doesn't even know that this plane has a Spirit of the Plane yet! The people of the continent don't know either; even their knowledge of planes was only acquired when other minor planes invaded."
"Oh, that is truly rare! Without the approval of the Spirit of the Plane, it is unbelievable that those planar gates could even open."
"You have been fighting for authority with the original Spirit of the Plane all this time, right? You don't know how to use the authority you seized by force! That is why this series of events occurred."
"Even if you replaced the original Spirit of the Plane and took on an extremely high status, you do not possess the appropriate state of mind to carry this power! You will not endure for long!"
"Even the residual Spirit of the Plane could choose an Evil Soul Master like the Underworld Emperor, granting him profound blessings and letting him be the child of destiny! Yet you cannot do it..."
"Isn't that right? Tang Hao!!"
When Skadi uttered that name, as if touching upon some unspeakable existence in a Cthulhu novel, a sky full of seven-colored divine thunder suddenly descended from the heavens, blasting toward Skadi.
'Finally growing anxious! The aggressiveness of my words still needs reinforcement!' Ah, making a character with a blank personality like Skadi say these things was truly difficult. This kind of work should have been done by Baili Yuan...
When these seven-colored lightning bolts blasted toward Skadi, it was as if they hit a rushing ocean. Without causing any impact, they discharged into the sea!
Water conducts electricity! Idiot! What were you thinking, trying to strike the Sea God to death with lightning?
"Weak and powerless! The ocean records everything! That divine sense has been devoured by me~ I also know many things... for example, the 'Ten-Thousand-Year Plan'."
Within the Void space, Tang Hao was already incredibly anxious at this moment. Because the Ancient Tree of Life had extracted too much energy, the remaining sixty percent of unmovable energy carried too much personal consciousness, and he was being dragged down by the remaining Core of Life, which intended to perish together with him. Even though Ah Yin had many means of resurrection, she could not give him any help at this moment.
Previously, he had assumed that the divine sense of Tang San had successfully devoured this new Sea God! That sky-piercing majesty was something even he could not underestimate. When the seven-colored divine rings revealed themselves, Tang Hao was even somewhat excited that he had successfully replaced the new Sea God! This way, Little San's Ten-Thousand-Year Plan could definitely be achieved! They could also remain free from danger, peacefully becoming the Spirit of the Plane and the Core of Life.
But the events that followed exceeded Tang Hao's imagination; this Sea God actually released a large amount of her own divine blood to give back to the ocean.
Only then did Tang Hao, who only knew how to wield a giant hammer, realize that things had gone terribly wrong! Even a God King-level divine sense had failed to take over this Divine Officer's body. However, he was also pleased to see this Sea God weakening herself.
Seeing that she began to disclose the things she knew, Tang Hao didn't even need to think to know that she wanted to lure him out.
However, this Sea God knew too much! It was highly likely that she had already refined Little San's divine sense, and she already knew what she should and shouldn't know.
Taking advantage of her current weakness, while she had not yet dispersed into the ocean, he would restrain her and then kill her! Little San's divine sense still had remnants in this space; when the time came, he would collect the Sea God's Divine Seat, and search for a new divine sense to take control.
"That divine sense Tang San truly deserves to die! He completely lacks the composure and calmness of my son Tang San! He truly already has a way to seek death! Once I slaughter this weakened Sea God, if you survive, I will definitely obliterate you."
Tang Hao, who was originally just a boorish man, completely lacked his wife's rational counsel by his side this time.
Tang Great Hammer made his choice! First, he would swiftly kill this Sea God, and then use the power of the plane to alter the memories of those Limit Douluos.
The black night that was originally filled with stars suddenly developed clusters of seven-colored clouds, which began to gather in the sky. Subsequently, a seven-colored giant hammer came hanging down from the horizon!
A robust figure slowly descended from the sky, and a strand of strange radiance enveloped the weakened Sea God, pinning her in place.
A sharp voice echoed from the sky: "You beast, what arrogant talk! The astonishing wisdom of my son Tang San is something that a mere mortal like you can comprehend?"
That seven-colored giant hammer fell resolutely, carrying unparalleled and terrifying lightning, heavily striking the weakened Sea God.
A powerful might far exceeding the previous battle swept across the surface of the sea. Fortunately, even if Tang Hao was a muscular brute, he still knew how to regulate the authority of the world, confining Skadi's voice and everything she said to one small area.
Except for the two of them, no one knew anything about what was here.
"Surging Tide! Withered Tide!"
At this time, Skadi no longer needed to hide. She scooped up her most familiar greatsword from the sea, her momentum grand and sweeping as she moved through the ocean. Her powerful force, along with the power of faith she had previously absorbed, smashed into the incoming giant hammer.
After exchanging several rounds of blows, Tang Hao finally confirmed the strength of this weakened Sea God; it was not something he could crush merely by relying on his control over the power of the plane.
This required his true body to personally enter the field! A Second-Class God carrying a Divine Seat had to crush her head-on.
Before leaving, Tang Hao delivered another hammer strike to the Spirit of the Plane, which had been continuously suppressed by him and was almost about to perish, before walking out of the Void space with a clear conscience.
The moment he walked out of the Void space, it was as if the heavens and earth had welcomed their master. The seven-colored light began to gather toward Tang Hao, a divine ring manifested behind this sturdy middle-aged man, and the status of the Spirit of the Plane--or rather, the Master of Heaven and Earth--manifested here.
As if subjected to planar rejection, Skadi felt the surrounding air become viscous. However, Skadi merely smiled faintly, then opened her arms, turned her back to the sea, and quietly merged into the ocean.
Just as Tang Hao, holding the seven-colored giant hammer, was left bewildered, a scarlet figure stood behind him at some unknown point.
The constantly intertwining lines of karma behind his back appeared and disappeared along with the wheel of Law behind Huang. That hand, filled with majesty, was like the Grim Reaper as it rested on the shoulder of Tang Hao, who had been acting like a hiding turtle all this time.
The expression under Huang's bronze mask was somewhat ferocious when he smiled, and his blue-red eyes had already seen through this flashy fellow before him who clearly possessed an extremely high status but lacked substance!!
"Ha! You really made me wait a long time!!!"
