---------------------------------------------------------------------
Early the next morning, Bo Saixi and Ye Wen met in the Sea God Palace, their eyes brimming with fighting spirit.
"This place is too cramped for you to fully unleash your power. Let's move to the open sea," Ye Wen said softly.
Bo Saixi nodded slightly, and the two transformed into streaks of light, leaving Sea God Island behind. After all, both of their powers were close to the realm of gods—if they truly fought at full strength, the small island wouldn't be able to withstand the destruction.
The Holy Pillar Douluos, still recovering from their injuries, felt a surge of admiration upon sensing the powerful fluctuations of soul power. They wanted to go watch the spectacle, but given their current condition, even the slightest misstep could cost them their lives.
After all, Bo Saixi's cultivation as a Limit Douluo was at least twice that of the 95th-level Sea Dragon Douluo. Rushing to watch the fight carelessly might result in being obliterated by a stray soul skill from either side.
The sky was clear, and the vast ocean stretched endlessly before them.
"Senior Bo Saixi , you are my elder. I'll let you make the first move," Ye Wen said humbly, adopting the demeanor of a junior.
In truth, this was another trap Ye Wen had set.
Whether in the ordinary world or a high martial arts world, intelligence was crucial in battle. The more information leaked, the easier it was to be targeted.
In his previous life, even leaking high-speed rail data to foreign countries was considered treasonous espionage—such was the importance of intelligence.
Bo Saixi didn't object.
Ye Wen and Bo Saixi had no prior relationship, and there were no restrictions in the divine trial about holding back. Thus, Bo Saixi decided to go all out. If she could defeat Ye Wen, it would be ideal.
After all, when faced with life and death, even saints hesitated. In the original story, Bo Saixi had once considered obstructing Tang San's trial but ultimately chose to let go because of her feelings for Tang Chen.
Sea God Domain——!!!
Bo Saixi didn't say a word. A blue light swept over her body, and the azure sea seemed to merge with her completely.
Seeing this, Ye Wen became vigilant. In the original story, Bo Saixi rarely fought, and there was very little information about her abilities. However, her Sea God Domain was extensively described.
This was the foundation of her invincibility over the seas.
As long as she remained within the range of the ocean, her soul power would continuously replenish itself, and her soul skills would receive significant boosts.
It was like having infinite mana.
A tall figure flashed behind Bo Saixi , and a dazzling golden trident appeared in her hand.
"Fifth Soul Skill: Boundless Ocean!"
Her opening move was her fifth soul skill—Bo Saixi wasn't holding back.
However, seeing that it wasn't one of the thirteen divine techniques personally passed down by the Sea God, Ye Wen breathed a sigh of relief.
Still, he didn't dare underestimate this move. Boundless Ocean instantly gathered an incomprehensible amount of oceanic energy in the blink of an eye, possessing the power to break through thousands of troops. Even a regular Title Douluo would be gravely injured or killed if struck by it.
Ye Wen wanted to dodge, but he found himself firmly locked in place by Bo Saixi's spiritual force.
From his battle with the Multi-Eyed Squid Emperor, Ye Wen already knew that while his Inner Space could nullify physical attacks, it couldn't resist spiritual attacks or locking mechanisms.
But so what? He was a six-dimensional warrior.
"Fifth Soul Skill: Void Barrier—Twelve Layers!"
If it's a direct clash, then so be it! Let's stack the armor! One burst of momentum, followed by diminishing returns. No matter how powerful this Boundless Ocean was, it was still a trident-wielding technique—it had its limits.
As Ye Wen expected, the incredibly sturdy Void Barrier shattered six layers but successfully withstood Bo Saixi's attack.
Seeing this, Ye Wen seized the opportunity and transformed the remaining six layers of the Void Barrier into a cube, instantly trapping Bo Saixi inside.
"How laughable. Even if you trap me, so what? It's just a matter of one strike," Bo Saixi thought to herself, but then she noticed the sly smile on Ye Wen's face and realized something was amiss.
"Explode!"
The Void Barrier bore great resemblance to Ye Wen's newly acquired soul bone skill, Evil Demon Tiger Whale Mirror Annihilation. While setting up the barrier, Ye Wen had secretly used its cover to perform a secondary release of his soul skill.
Under the guise of the Void Barrier, he layered it with Evil Demon Tiger Whale Mirror Annihilation, creating an omnidirectional internal explosion.
But how could someone as mighty as Bo Saixi , the invincible ruler of the seas, be defeated so easily?
The Void Barrier, capable of withstanding attacks from a Limit Douluo, instantly cracked all over, and Bo Saixi emerged unscathed, her attire intact.
"Please don't resort to such petty tricks—they're useless," Bo Saixi said coldly.
Clearly, being outwitted by Ye Wen irritated her.
Though she had anticipated that she might not be able to severely wound him, she hadn't expected him to emerge completely unharmed. No wonder she was considered the strongest among the three invincibles on the seas.
But this only made things more interesting. It was rare to fight at full strength—if the opponent was defeated in just a few moves, how boring would that be?
"That was just a test, Senior Bo Saixi . From now on, let's fight without holding back. Please don't restrain yourself, or I might accidentally kill you," Ye Wen said arrogantly.
Such brazen words only fueled Bo Saixi's anger. This young upstart, despite his extraordinary achievements at such a young age and his status as the Sea God's heir, was truly infuriating. The more she thought about it, the more bitter she felt.
"It's I who should say that. Even though you're the Sea God's successor, I won't hold back in this divine trial. Remember to protect your own life, or disappointing the Sea God will be your fault."
"Seventh Soul Skill: Sea God True Body!
Eighth Soul Skill: Surging Waves of the Azure Abyss!"
When Bosenxi unleashed her True Body, Ye Wen's expression changed. That unanalyzable presence—the aura of divine power—was unforgettable.
Daring not to be careless any longer, Ye Wen quickly used his second soul skill, Void Defense, to open a spatial gate and teleport away.
Seeing Ye Wen flee just after provoking her, Bo Saixi's fury surged even higher. She locked onto Ye Wen's position with her spiritual force, even after he teleported a kilometer away, and hurled her prepared eighth soul skill toward him.
*Kuwa Yi~*
But this brief moment was enough for Ye Wen to unleash his full power.
"Seventh Soul Skill: Domain Expansion—"
He clasped his hands together, palms facing each other, and began to rotate them.
At this moment, the soul rings around his body merged into one, forming a divine ring of gold adorned with eleven blue patterns.
"Heaven and Earth, I Alone Am Supreme—!!!"
The divine ring expanded, enveloping the area and transforming it into Ye Wen's domain.
Within this domain, Ye Wen opened a spatial door, its other side leading directly to Bo Saixi.
"Here's your return."
A devastating attack surged through the door, heading straight for its master.
