— Chapter 288 —

Yunlong clenched the frost halberd and casually walked on the seawater, feeling the tension from the water surface.

The Demon Spirit Great White Shark’s king obviously still has the control over her domain, alas weaker than the former capabilities.

The former absolute domain over the seawater has lost the “Absolute.” power under Yunlong’s light and darkness domain.

“What are you doing to my domain, Human!?” The Demon Spirit Great White Shark’s king yelled.

Yunlong shrugged and answered, “Nothing special, just using my domain to pressure yours.”

However, it wasn’t just a matter of domain.

Yunlong’s dragon bloodline was so strong that the Demon Spirit Great White Shark’s king didn’t realize she got weakened instinctively.

“Well, Little Shark,” He entered an open stance with the halberd resting on his shoulders. “You’re free to attack me from anywhere.”

“Don’t get too cocky!” The Demon Spirit Great White Shark’s king summoned several water blades and sent them to Yunlong.

Yunlong smirked and flicked the tip of the halberd with his finger, causing the icy weapon to vibrate violently.

“Eclipse Dragon’s Quake.” He waved the weapon at the incoming water blades.

“Huh?”

“What happened, the space…”

Kacha!

The Demon Spirit Great White Shark’s king witnessed the space in front of her distorted and crumbled like glass.

BOOM!

A powerful shockwave-like quake traveled through the air.

“Eclipse Dragon’s Shadows.” Yunlong stepped forward, and his shadow broke down into copies of him.

The Demon Spirit Great White Shark’s king frowned because she couldn’t sense which one of Yunlong was real.

Nine Extreme Arts of Eclipse Dragon, a unique martial art tailor-made by Gu Yuena for Yunlong and was a way to complement his Nine Dragon Gate, but more than that.

It’s called extreme because Yunlong has to strictly manipulate space, time, light, and darkness laws simultaneously within the surrounding.

Since Time and Space laws weren’t very noticeable with naked eyes, individuals with weak senses could only see the light and darkness around Yunlong.

The Demon Spirit Great White Shark’s king suddenly released a bright blue color from her body. A woman appeared in the seawater.

She seems to be a few centimeters shorter than Yunlong. Her beautiful grey-blue hair was scattered widely like flowing water and reached the sea.

The formerly spirit beast possessed a brilliant pair of gray-blue eyes, complementing her sharp yet fair face.

Even though she wasn’t as beautiful as Bibi Dong, Gu Yuena, or Kaguya. The Demon Spirit Great White Shark’s king had this exotic charm on her.

She wore a plain white robe made of shark skins, which somehow looked like silk.

They stared at each other for a second and disappeared suddenly, leaving a trail of water splashes.

Bam!

Yunlong greeted the Great White Shark’s king with a punch on the face.

She dodged to the side and made the seawater below him shake violently, causing Yunlong’s punch to miss. Yet, his halberd still reached her abdomen.

“Quake.” Yunlong’s dragon eyes shone indifferently.

“You bastard-.” She was about to launch another water blade at Yunlong.

Crack! BOOM!

Demon Spirit Great White Shark’s king abruptly launched several meters away from the shockwave. She gritted her teeth because Yunlong’s attack actually made her feel a little pain.

Yunlong glided swiftly forward on the seawater with so many shadows around him. He glanced at his maids, who maintained their distance.

“Good.” He smiled slightly.

“Hmm?”

Yunlong moved his gaze to the frost halberd in his hand and noticed some cracks. He shook his head because, without material reinforcement or Greed, a regular weapon couldn’t withstand his power.

Even Xue Nu’s frost halberd made of her absolute snow lacked toughness.

BAM! BAM! BAM!

Several Demon Spirit Great White Sharks burst out of the sea and tried to bite Yunlong’s body, but their teeth couldn’t penetrate his armor.

Yunlong grabbed the nearest shark’s tail and threw the spirit beast to its leader.

SWOOSH!

BAM! SPLASH!

The Demon Spirit Great White Shark’s king stopped her clan member with seawater, a bait from Yunlong, to change her attention.

Yunlong appeared in front of her and pulled his fist back to gain more strength. His arm muscle clenched and released a menacing dragon aura.

Bo Saixi, who patiently watched Yunlong’s action from Sea God’s temple, was shaken by his ability. Her hand trembled slightly, and she wished he could pass the second trial inside.

“Sea God’s inheritor.”

“No, Yunlong.”

“Prove that you can break through this trial to me.”

If Eclipse Dragon’s Quake was able to destroy fabric space with violent shockwaves, then Yunlong’s following technique is an attack that passes through any defense.

It was enough to kill any enemy into oblivion by forcing four laws into one point.

Yunlong pushed his arm and launched a fist at Demon Spirit Great White Shark’s king.

It’s not just a simple fist.

It’s a fist powered by four different laws and true dragon’s blood.

Demon Spirit Great White Shark’s king staggered in fear because her beast’s instinct told her to stay in the current position without moving an inch.

She witnessed an illusion of a dragon’s head coming to her but could only feel a breeze for some reason.

Yunlong’s punch went through her left side and brushed her ears a little, yet nothing special happened.

“W-What are you doing?” She looked at Yunlong, who stood in front of her.

Their faces confronted each other, and she could finally see Yunlong’s looks clearly.

Dum!

As the Demon Spirit Great White Shark’s king suddenly was struck by Yunlong’s handsome face, Everyone was staring at the scenery behind her with a frightened look.

The entire sky has turned blank as if it was empty without a shed of light or darkness.

Yunlong’s attack erased everything on its path. The originally beautiful blue sky has lost its color because of it.

“Not bad, Little Shark.” Yunlong patted the woman’s head in front of him.

He chuckled and continued, “I’ll play more with you later.”

“As for now, I have something to finish first.”

Yunlong looked back and saw his companion finished with their matters too.

He doesn’t have to say anything because they know what’s his instruction beforehand.

Yunlong walked to the Sea God Island and was followed by his companions, leaving a bunch of defeated sharks.

They arrived on the Sea God Island’s seashore, and a bright golden light fell on them.

[You have finished Third Quest: Breakthrough Ring Blockade]

[Rewarding: 100k system points and Dragon God’s Jade 1x]

Yunlong ignored the system notification because he had to harvest divine energy from this golden light, storing it quickly within his body.

He breathed in and out, using [Mortal Sin: Gluttony] to assist himself.

After a few minutes, Yunlong sat on the calm seawater and breathed soundlessly. His companions also stayed in the same position.

.

.

Yunlong opened his eyes and saw his system panel.

[Divinity: 12,69%]

He shook his head because the divine energy he could acquire got limited by his current level. He has to break through to the Spirit Douluo Realm.

“Slowly but surely, huh.” He commented while looking at the sky.

Seven Children of Sea God stared at Yunlong like he was a mysterious creature.

“He’s abnormal….” Sea Ghost Douluo whispered while imagining how fast Yunlong was using Eclipse Dragon’s Shadows.

“A state of speed when oneself turned into a series of tangible shadows.”

Sea Fantasy Douluo closed his eyes and added, “It’s a weird thing to say, but even my spiritual sense couldn’t detect which one is real.”

Sea Dragon Douluo patted his shoulder and replied, “It’s not weird to say when our subject is unknown.”

“Don’t apply your abilities to him.” He laughed nervously.

He could still remember Yunlong’s dragon lineage pressure on himself a few moments ago. His body shuddered in fear and horror, which was weird because he was a title douluo.

Sea Dragon Douluo doesn’t want to admit it, but being around Yunlong’s dragon aura made him uncomfortable.

He always has an urge to bow down to him for some reason.

If Gu Yuena were here, she would mock Sea Dragon Douluo and viciously comment on how he pitifully resisted True Dragon’s lineage from Yunlong.

Besides Gu Yuena and Golden Dragon King, Yunlong is the closest to Dragon God’s origin. However, He needs to refine his Dragon Blood again to reach the Divine stage.

Yunlong frowned because a few containers filled with living beings approached Sea God Island quickly from the south.

He moved his gaze around and saw battleships filled with armored humans.

[The system search detected a few inferior A.I. within those battleships]

[They were aiming at the Sea God Island, Host]

He heard Neo’s monotonous voice and nodded because he could see some automatic missile launcher directed to Sea God Island.

Yunlong’s skills were unlocked when he finished Sea God’s second trial, so he could finally use Space Manipulation with ease again.

Bo Saixi arrived on the Sea God Island’s beach and stared at the battleships with an unpleasant look on her face.

“Looks like you didn’t hear my last warning, Intruders.” She said indifferently.

DING! DING! DING! DING! DING!

Several cannons pointed at Bo Saixi.

Bo Saixi raised her hand, and the ocean around Sea God island trembled. Her spirit rings materialized slowly, and crimson brilliance wrapped the entire island.

“Waves.” She commanded while moving her staff.

BOOM!

The seawater soared to the sky and destroyed the battleships instantly. Nevertheless, it wasn’t the intruder’s goal.

A small red light flew past the soared seawater and flashed through the space, crashing onto Bo Saixi’s neck.

BAM!

Bo Saixi was stunned and coughed softly, noticing a red-jeweled choker wrapped around her neck.

[Initiating Spinal Nerve Control]

She was about to destroy the choker with her spirit energy, but her body suddenly stopped. She couldn’t control her own body for some reason.

[Inducing Spiritual Link]

“Arrggh…” Bo Saixi felt her brain melt into a paste.

She began to lose consciousness and stared at Yunlong with a hopeless look.

“Y-Y…”

“Yu…”

“Yun…”

[Spiritual & Physical Control reached 90%]

Bo Saixi stood still on the beach sand and mindlessly looked down.

“Priestess, are you okay?” Sea Dragon Douluo asked with a worried tone. He approached Bo Saixi and saw her pointing the staff at him.

“DON’T APPROACH HER!” Yunlong shouted from the seashore.

Sea Dragon Douluo felt his stomach was stabbed and coughed a mouthful of blood.

BOOM!

He got launched to Sea Horse’s City, a few kilometers away from the beach.

The other Seven Children of Sea God looked at their priestess with horror.

Bo Saixi’s eyes are lifeless, without a shred of life. Her body moved like a puppet with strings attached.

Yunlong clicked his tongue and created some shadow clones to deal with the remaining battleships.

He teleported himself to Bo Saixi and grasped her neck tightly with his hand.

BAM!

Bo Saixi retaliated by sending a powerful surge of waves at Yunlong, drowning both of them in the ocean.

‘NEO, SCAN!’ Yunlong ignored the pressure.

[Scanning…]

[Abyss Stone Detected]

[Item Name: Unknown]

[Function: It could control someone’s body by taking over their nerve and spiritual sea with special nano-needles and Abyss Stone]

[Abyss stone is a stone with powerful mind corrosion energy from a different dimension]

“Is there a way to destroy it?” Yunlong asked with a frown because Bo Saixi tried to choke him.

[…]

[Overload her spiritual sea with yours]

[There is a high chance she would lose her memory…]

[…]

[Also, when you release Bo Saixi from the controlling device, she might turn into a cripple because the nano-needles have to override her nerve]

“I can fix that later.” Yunlong’s mouth twitched because Bo Saixi’s soft hand clenched around his neck.

“Sorry, Priestess.” He whispered and kissed Bo Saixi’s lips.

Bo Saixi’s body twitched because Yunlong’s spiritual sea clashed with hers.

Yunlong didn’t stop and basically used every spiritual force he possessed. He had to use Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in the process.

Crack!

The abyss stone cracked and crumbled, but Yunlong immediately stored the pieces in his inventory.

BAM!

The deep-sea pressure crashed onto them, and Yunlong clutched Bo Saixi inside his embrace so that she wouldn’t get damaged even further.

At the bottom of the ocean, Yunlong and Bo Saixi were lying down with tons of force on their bodies.

He created space barriers around them and looked at Bo Saixi with a weird gaze.

Bo Saixi’s eyes had gained a light once again, but it was somehow similar to Kaguya’s when she arrived in this world.

A pair of innocent eyes is displayed by Bo Saixi, making her look like an immature child.

“Daddy?” Bo Saixi tilted her head.

“…” Yunlong gazed at her in disbelief.
