Terror radiated, sinking the ocean surface for tens of kilometers around by more than ten meters, and even Yuyuan City, not far away and built upon the submarine reef, was affected and partially pushed above the water.

Countless buildings within the city crumbled under the terrifying divine field, numerous inhabitants of Yuyuan City were involved, and half the city turned to ruins in an instant, leaving only the central Sea God Temple and the City Lord’s Mansion on the other side protected by a thick layer of blue light, sparing them from disaster.

Countless members of the Sea Clan inside Yuyuan City were instantly slain, and a few lucky ones inside sturdy buildings were spared, all of them looking up with faces of terror at the sky blanketed by deep blue divine light, when they heard a roar spread through dozens of surrounding sea miles like thunder:

“Loren, do you wish to become my sworn enemy?”

The Sea God’s voice rose unhurriedly:

“When were we ever not enemies?”

“You will regret this!”

“Not taking action now would bring me even greater regret!”

The Snake People Demigod grunted, and the radiance of his blood light suddenly dimmed, shrinking in size, while the Sea God took this opportunity to expand his vast oceanic field.

At this moment, the Snake People Demigod Gras actually had no will to fight. The ocean was the Sea God’s home ground, where even just an incarnation could block him, not to mention that he was poisoned at the time, making it even harder to prevail as the tide turned against him.

The Sea God also saw this excellent opportunity to try to keep the Snake People Demigod.

But as a Demigod with nearly endless life, Gras was extremely wise and quickly became clear about his own state being utterly unable to withstand his opponent, and that escape was difficult. Thus, after only a moment of hesitation, he made a decision—Burning Divinity!

Yes, Burning Divinity.

The so-called Burning Divinity is a desperate act of Demigods and Divine Beings, even more drastic than burning Divine Power, typically used when facing a hopeless situation.

As is well-known, by burning Divine Power, one can greatly augment their strength momentarily to defeat an enemy or to escape.

Whereas Burning Divinity can temporarily multiply the might of one’s field considerably, so as to achieve the goal of killing their enemy or escaping.

Generally, if one expends a certain amount of Divine Power shortly after a Divinity burnout, they can restore the burnt Divinity. But if prolonged, that bit of Divinity will vanish forever, leading to a fall in power and even more severe consequences, such as diminished potential.

The Snake People Demigod Gras resolutely burned a portion of his Divinity, and the Blood Realm surrounding him burst into flames, expanding rapidly as if a barrel of oil had been poured onto a fire, increasing the power of his field by multiple folds, tearing through the Sea God’s field and forcibly breaking through the layers of oceanic domain to rush towards the sky.

However, the Avatar of the Sea God was not to be outdone. His incarnation, concentrated around a point of Divinity, could not burn Divinity, but it could burn copious amounts of Divine Power. The blue ocean domain expanded rapidly too. While it couldn’t compare to the explosive Blood Realm that burned Divinity, by relying on a stronger base, it stubbornly chased behind the Snake People Demigod, like a maggot stuck to bone, impossible to shake off.

At the same time, far in the depths of the great ocean, a muted breath was slowly awakening. Faint blue light began to arise from the end of the ocean, covering a vast expanse of the sea for hundreds of miles.

The true body of the Sea God was waking.

The Snake People Demigod Gras could of course sense this unhidden aura and knew all too well what fate awaited him should the Sea God awaken. His movement towards the Black Water Swamp came to a halt, and he turned to glare at the Sea God, bellowing with a voice filled with indescribable wrath:

“You are bringing destruction upon yourself!”

As his words fell, the vast Blood Realm erupted like a volcano.

In that instant, the might of the Blood Realm surged more than tenfold. The Snake People Demigod burned two whole points of Divinity, unleashing over ten times his strength. The Blood Realm burst like a bloody ring, effortlessly shattering the Avatar of the Sea God’s domain, enveloping the caught-off-guard incarnation within the Blood Realm. A tremendous hand, over a hundred meters long and dazzling with blood light, emerged slowly from the realm, clutching fiercely towards the Avatar of the Sea God.

“`

“Boom!”

The Avatar of the Sea God was completely powerless against the grip and was crushed with one claw, a glint of gold light shot up into the sky, only to be caught halfway by another claw of the Snake People Demigod Gras.

“Gras, you dare!”

“Why wouldn’t I dare!”

At this moment, Gras, with his face twisted in anger, growled viciously and swallowed the divinity of the Sea God with a gaping mouth.

“Warning, extremely dangerous, please leave the Black Water Swamp area immediately!”

“Warning, extremely dangerous, please leave the Black Water Swamp area immediately!”

“Warning, extremely dangerous, please leave the Black Water Swamp area immediately!”

Three urgent alarm prompts appeared out of thin air in front of Meng Hui, who was commanding his Clan to besiege a medium-sized Fish people tribe at the edge of the Black Water Swamp. He subconsciously looked towards the sea, having felt an oppressive and palpitation-inducing majesty earlier, but hadn’t paid much attention due to the distance.

He had indeed planned on visiting the area after some time, but now it seemed unnecessary. Considering the Divine Artifact Spirit of the observational plane issued such an urgent reminder, something big must have occurred, and it’s better for him not to get involved.

He decisively ordered a retreat, even though the mid-sized Fish people tribe was nearly annihilated.

Outside the plane, ten homeroom teachers were now gathered at the edge of the Divine Artifact Platform, observing the nearby marine area of the Black Water Swamp through the Plane Crystal Wall.

The faces of the ten teachers were quite expressive. The homeroom teacher of the first class, Qiao Liang, turned his head to glance at Wu Hai and clicked his tongue, saying,

“Your student is really bold, daring to target a demigod.”

Another homeroom teacher, rubbing his shiny bald head, exclaimed,

“The kid has guts, and he has skill. No matter if he can succeed, getting this far is already quite impressive; entering the elite class next term won’t be a problem.”

Just then, one of the teachers suddenly uttered a soft “Huh?” and said,

“Huh? Where did his Clan go?”

Wu Hai’s gaze shifted, peering back into the plane, scanning the area between the tribe and Yuyuan City, and to his surprise, he found nothing. Meanwhile, the homeroom teacher of the second class, Zheng Yifan, exclaimed in surprise,

“Well, isn’t that something, he hasn’t given up yet?”

“Well, isn’t that something, he’s headed to the Black Water Swamp.”

Wu Hai’s gaze swept to the west, where he saw an over-hundred-thousand-strong super large Fish people community that had already reached the edge of the Black Water Swamp, plunging straight into it.

According to Lin Xiao’s estimate, the incarnation of the Sea God alone could not hold the Snake People Demigod, but it would not be easy for the Snake People Demigod, in a poisoned state, to repel the Avatar of the Sea God without injury, and it was highly likely that she would be hurt. That was his opportunity.

An injured Snake People Demigod would definitely return to its hiding place to expel the poison and recover. At this time, over a hundred thousand Fish people and Naga entering the Black Water Swamp could all at once eliminate all the Frog People and Snake people there—that is, to eliminate all the followers of the Snake People Demigod and further weaken her strength, then lay siege to her True Body.
