Douluo: The Holy Radiance of the Dragon King

Chapter 367 The Wind Rises Again: Tang San, at a time like this, can you stop pretending?

Beneath the mysterious blue surface of the sea lie countless untold stories, hundreds of seashells rise and fall, and mermaid-like creatures occasionally emerge from them.

They are called Sea Princesses, a race of darlings of the ocean, possessing the most outstanding spiritual talent among sea spirit beasts.

At this moment, hundreds of sea princesses, led by the current queen of sea princesses, Regent, are performing their usual rituals, worshipping the statue of the supreme sea god.

Feng Zaixing saw through his mental power that the sea god statue worshipped by this group of sea princesses was not exactly the same as the one at Shrek Academy. The statues were identical in appearance, both depicting a blue-haired man holding a trident.

He thought to himself, "There are fluctuations in what appears to be divine thought within this statue, and it contains an inescapable divine charm. Perhaps divine thought has descended upon it."

Battleships and fighter jets activated their stealth systems and approached at incredible speeds. One after another, metal-looking soul-guided cannons opened up from the battleships, and the war machines bared their fangs, revealing a fierce killing intent.

"Your Excellencies, judging from the fluctuations in your soul power, are spirit-type ferocious beasts of the 200,000-year level, but they pose no fatal threat."

The adjutant, who was nearby, meticulously monitored the detection results and reported them to the two men.

Yu Guanzhi looked at Feng Zaixing and asked for his opinion on whether to go to war: "Should we take action? Or should we try the usual persuasion to surrender?"

"Of course we should try to persuade them to surrender. We agreed before we set off that even if our opponents are believers in the Sea God, we should try to persuade them with courtesy first and then resort to force."

Feng Zaixing smiled calmly, his eyes shining brightly.

"it is good."

Yu Guanzhi waved his hand, and the adjutant showed a regretful expression, but quickly composed himself and rushed to the broadcasting studio to convey the attitude to the Sea Princess clan.

"Announcing to all sea spirit beasts, announcing to all sea spirit beasts, Tang San, the Sea God, is the second Sea God who inherited the divine position of the first Sea God, Poseidon."

"This person is treacherous yet appears benevolent, and is inherently wicked. For personal gain, he used the power of the Sea God to forcibly seize control of the ocean, which belonged to the lord of the plane, causing environmental imbalance and the collapse of heaven and earth. He is called the Sea God, but in reality, he is a thief of the ocean. He has never done good or preached for the ocean or the sea spirits and beasts, yet he has obtained the power of the ocean and the faith of all beasts in vain. He has committed many unjust acts throughout his life, and sooner or later he will reap what he sows."

"Now that the Heavenly Dao is clear, its treacherous plot of secretly aiding the Abyss Plane in invading our Douluo Plane has been exposed. Our Federation is determined to use all its strength to eradicate the Sea God faith. Sea Soul Beasts that have abandoned their faith in the Sea God will be treated without harm. Those who persist in their faith are merely aiding and abetting evil, wasting their faith in vain—"

A manifesto addressing the ocean spirit beasts, detailing Tang San's life and deeds and the Federation's attitude towards him, resounded across the sea in a standard broadcasting tone, as the wind rose again...

Yu Guanzhi calmly observed the sea surface, awaiting the reply from the Sea Princess clan.

Of course, they didn't have any hope for the Sea Princess clan. The reason they did this was to let more sea spirit beasts see that they were only targeting Tang San, not the entire sea spirit beast group.

The ocean is vast and boundless, with more than ten times the number of soul beasts on land. There are many powerful beings over 100,000 years old, and it also has unique geographical advantages. If we indiscriminately kill them, we will only push these soul beasts to the opposite side and needlessly bring trouble to the Federation and the Navy.

No one can guarantee they can bear such consequences.

As luck would have it, just as this manifesto was finished, the underwater sacrificial ceremony was also coming to an end, and two pure killing intents suddenly shot out from the jewel-like eyes of the Sea Princess King, Lijing.

Such an insult to their faith, to their sea god, is simply unforgivable!

The numerous sea spirit beasts immediately began whispering among themselves in the language of the Sea Princess, but they all looked at Lijing, the eldest daughter of their old patriarch and the current patriarch of the Sea Princess clan.

"My king, what should we do? Our people say that many humans have come from above."

"I feel a terrifying pressure from this giant ship that humans brought here."

"Human forces are too strong, should we scatter and escape?"

Although no sea princess offered to surrender, it was clear that people were filled with unease. The Demon Soul Great White Shark clan was also a sea god's clan, and the former was much closer to them, being true veterans of both dynasties.

This tribe, which had received the blessings and friendship of two generations of sea gods, was wiped out just as easily when it was destroyed, without the sea god bestowing any blessings or protection.

Therefore, if the Sea Princess clan were to fight humans head-on, the outcome would definitely not be good; they would actually dare to wipe out a small group of soul beasts.

"What are you all panicking about!"

Regent spoke, her majestic eyes sweeping across the surroundings. One by one, the sea princesses lowered their beautiful faces, awaiting the handling and selection of this generation of ferocious beasts.

"The statue of the Sea God is right here. We are acting in the human world in accordance with the Sea God's will. Everyone just needs to wait patiently; the Sea God will descend again sooner or later!"

"As for now—" Regent swept her gaze over the elite experts of her clan and shouted, "Sea Princess Clan, follow me and form ranks to meet the enemy!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the sea princess king, who had cultivated for over two hundred thousand years, was the first to rush out of the sea.

No one dared to be negligent. Apart from a few who stayed behind to guard the base and deal with emergencies, the rest of the clan's experts took to the air and entered the formation, using their powerful mental energy to weave a mental net that could trap even a Limit Douluo!

"Impressive. Although the mental network jointly activated by these hundreds of sea princesses is still spiritual consciousness rather than divine consciousness in terms of level, it is actually more abundant than that of an ordinary Divine Origin Realm cultivator," Feng Zaixing commented.

Yu Guanzhi curled his lip and said, "There are no ordinary experts in the Divine Origin Realm. You guys have very high standards, and we can't compare to you, but don't underestimate us."

"As far as I know, this race is far more dependent on the ocean than ordinary sea spirit beasts. Once they leave the ocean, even the former Sea Princess King, who once had 600,000 years of cultivation, will lose one-tenth of her strength. A few Title Douluos can set up a defense line and keep her out."

"As for this new mermaid queen—"

Yu Guanzhi stared intently for a long time, and finally, relying on his status as a top-notch master of soul beast information, he found out Lijing's identity.

"The crown she wears is formed from the golden bloodline of the mermaid race and the lifelong cultivation of the previous sea princess. Her mother should be that 600,000-year-old sea princess. Her sister, according to legend, chose to follow Lingbing Douluo and disappeared together after Lingbing Douluo mysteriously disappeared."

It is rumored that he may have gained immortality by following the Spirit Ice Douluo, which has made countless soul beasts facing the threat of heavenly tribulation envious and jealous.

Feng Zaixing picked up the thread, commenting on Lijing: "If it's her, that's interesting. Ten thousand years ago, her cultivation was only 100,000 years. Ten thousand years..."

Later, she became a ferocious beast. Could it be that her mother gave her a vast inheritance before she was captured, or that our Sea God took pity on her and granted her an opportunity to improve her cultivation?

Yu Guanzhi laughed and said, "I guess it's the former. Its mother is a top-tier ferocious beast of the 600,000-year level. She must have made some necessary preparations. The Sea Princess clan can build a large spiritual power array in groups, so it shouldn't be difficult for them to pass on spiritual power and some cultivation."

His gaze seemed to casually sweep over the hexagonal blue crystal on the crown atop Regent's head. His intuition told him that it was the thing her mother had left her before she was taken down by the Spirit Pagoda.

In retrospect, if the Spirit Pagoda hadn't used the entire Sea Princess clan as a threat, causing the 600,000-year-old Sea Princess to lose her composure several times during the battle, they wouldn't have been able to easily defeat such a powerful sea spirit beast, let alone on the enemy's home turf.

"Despicable humans, how dare you slander the Sea God! The light descended by the Sea God will purify your filthy souls and make you realize your mistakes in death."

Lijing possessed exceptional mental strength. Upon seeing that the two powerful human figures were still chatting idly after she emerged, she felt a surge of anger at being underestimated.

The other party's attitude is simply showing that they don't respect me at all!

Feng Zaixing laughed and said, "Our attitude has already been made clear on the broadcast. Did you not understand, or are you determined to go your own way? If you are unwilling to lead the Sea Princess clan to abandon or change their faith, I'm afraid something you don't want to see will happen today."

Regent retorted angrily, "Human, stop your glib tongue! How could you possibly understand or refute the beliefs of us sea spirit beasts?"

Yu Guanzhi smiled knowingly: "Really? But you're so old. Don't even mention Tang San, even the first Sea God Poseidon before he became a god might not be older than you. You're so much older than them, yet you keep calling me 'adult.' Do you really like having a father figure in your life?"

"And we want to remind you that there's no going back on the path you've taken at this time: there are consequences for losing, and I don't need to elaborate on that."

"Boom!"

The mermaid riot was like a fuse being lit, ready to unleash earth-shattering power.

Regent set her sights on Yu Guanzhi, gathering the power of hundreds of her people to unleash her attack, creating towering waves that stirred the ocean into a magnificent spectacle.

"Mr. Yu, I'll lend you a hand."

Feng Zaixing did not make a move. He smiled and protected Yu Guanzhi in front of him, placing his left hand on Yu Guanzhi's right shoulder. A spiritual force was then silently transferred between them.

In an instant, golden light also shone in Yu Guanzhi's eyes. He laughed loudly and used his divine brush to create things by splashing ink, painting out vast armies of soul beasts. There were the three major races of the near sea that the sea soul beasts were most familiar with, as well as powerful soul beasts unique to the land, and even special beings like the fire phoenix.

"Come on, let's have a great battle!"

The other party disregarded martial ethics and led a group of clansmen to attack him. Yu Guanzhi felt that he didn't need to be martial ethics either. Besides, the other party had used the strength of many clansmen to stop him, while he had only borrowed the ability of one person.

In an instant, a beast tide army, almost invisible to the outside world, engulfed the ocean-dwelling soul beasts. The powerful aftershocks tore apart the mermaid camp. Lijing's face turned ashen, and a trace of crimson blood spilled from her mouth. Her eyes dimmed considerably.

Feng Zaixing did not rush to make a move, but kept his mental energy focused on the sacrificial bronze statue under the ocean.

Suddenly, I sensed something was wrong, as if some extremely special entity in the dark could influence this feeling.

As hundreds of members of the Sea Princess clan were taken away by Federation experts through various channels, the bronze statue under the sponge suddenly shone brightly, and a divine thought as deep and boundless as the ocean burst forth.

"Who dares to insult my clan? Who dares to interfere with my cultivation? Do you know that I am the God of the Ocean, the one who holds the power over the sea!"

A male voice, carrying the air of a superior, rang out at that moment, seemingly able to penetrate space and resound throughout the world.

The crowd followed the sound and saw a faint blue phantom.

Feng Zaixing shook his head and interrupted, "Tang San, at a time like this, can you stop pretending?"
