Its humongous body would immediately sink into the water when the artillery fire bombarded it. It used the sea as a shield to resist the attacks.
It was just this particular giant whale that kept the three great fleets preoccupied at that location.
One could imagine how dejected Chen Zeyu felt in the meantime. It was his first time leading his forces into an actual war, and he had already suffered such great losses. Although it was not directly tied to his command and he had done all that he could, the reality was right before his eyes.
No one would bother to look into his process. People only cared about that when the results were perfect.
The huge whale rose to the surface in the distance once again. A gigantic purple-black water pillar shot into the clear, bright sky that had just appeared.
The corrosive toxic rain was rapidly growing more fierce. The rain was not lethal on its own, but it could continuously drain the energy supply of the three great fleets.
If their energy was consumed in such a manner, Chen Zeyu felt that the three great fleets could be defeated by the monstrous whale!
Then, something changed all of a sudden.
The surging waves turned calm without warning, and enormous water dragons revolved around the three great fleets before rising straight into the sky.
These water dragons gathered up above and transformed into a water screen. The screen protected the three fleets by blocking most of the toxic rain.
Meanwhile, a figure had also appeared in the sky.
When the officers on the three fleets could see him clearly, cheers echoed through all the warships at once.
Chen Zeyu widened his mouth as emotions surged into his heart. Even though he was feeling rather dejected in the next moment, he still could not stop himself from swinging his fist excitement.
The silhouette had a head full of gray hair, yet his physique remained tall and straight as before. He was floating in the sky like a pillar that tamed the ocean.
Sky blue battle armor covered every part of his body except his head and emitted the unique sheen of four-word battle armor.
The suit of armor was known as the Boundless Sea Universe. The name commemorated the legendary Boundless Sea Universe Shield that belonged to Sea God Tang San in the past. At the same time, the word ‘universe’ corresponded to the two opposing forces of Yin and Yang and also light and dark. Furthermore, it was also connected to the love of his life, the Light Dark Douluo.
Yes, he was here. The Sea God Army’s true overlord, humanity’s greatest powerhouse of the sea, one of the three military moguls, the Boundless Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie was here!
The waterspouts that surged skyward were akin to guardians escorting him. At the moment of his arrival, the sea was no longer threatening the three great fleets but protecting them.
In the distance, the massive purple-black body did not submerge itself anymore. It rose to the surface, almost all of it coming out of the water. A powerful aura that blotted out the sky and covered up the sun swarmed in from afar.
A sky blue cloud rose around the Boundless Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie’s body and swiftly collided with the purple-black aura coming from the distance.
The entire sea seemed to be raging violently. The once calm surface began to surge with tempestuous waves. All the waterspouts and the dark clouds formed from the toxic rain shattered and dispersed during the unseen collision.
The Boundless Sea Universe battle armor on Chen Xinjie’s body flickered with a sky blue ripple-like radiance.
Chen Zeyu could hear his father’s voice in the command post saying, “Leave this to me. You shall assist the frontline with your artillery fire.”
“Yes!” Chen Zeyu answered. He immediately ordered the three fleets to withdraw!
The quasigod-ranked collision would certainly produce an apocalyptic result that could destroy Heaven and Earth.
There was no information on this whale’s origin, but doubtlessly, only Chen Zeyu’s father could keep it at bay.
Chen Xinjie’s arrival immediately put Chen Zeyu into a state of intense calm. Although he had always wanted to be independent, he only realized at this moment how much he truly relied on his father.
He was so confident of the Boundless Sea Douluo. In his perception, the Boundless Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie was already the greatest powerhouse in the world since the passing of the Atlas Sea Douluo Yun Ming.
He was not the only person that believed this. After Yun Ming’s passing, the soul master community naturally debated who was first among them. After all, whoever it was would have the status as the world’s best soul master.
Someone proposed Qiangu Deiting while others declared it to be the Heartless Douluo Cao Dezhi. Public opinions diverged, but the name that seemed to be most widely brought up was the Boundless Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie.
The Spirit Pagoda’s representative figure Qiangu Dieting, the Tang Sect’s representative Heartless Douluo Cao Dezhi, and Shrek Academy’s Light Dark Douluo Long Yeyue were still not on the same level as such an experienced quasigod, judging by their individual abilities.
Perhaps, only the combination of the Heartless Douluo and the Amorous Douluo could defeat the Boundless Sea Douluo.
At their rank, a match between them would be very rare. Chen Xinjie hardly ever engaged in any sparring. Even if he did, almost no one could make him go all out.
However, his reputation as the greatest soul master in the world was unquestioned by all the officers in the Sea God Army and even the officers in the federal navy.
This was also the reason the Federation did not have the courage and could not do anything to the Boundless Sea Douluo when he lost the Eternal Heaven.
Perhaps this would be the day that this man would have the opportunity to prove himself as the best on the continent.
Chen Zeyu believed wholeheartedly that his father could do that because he was the person closest to Godhood!
The three great fleets fell back slowly, and the gargantuan whale in the distance did not attempt to stop them. It simply continued floating while its aura was constantly changing.
Chen Xinjie glared at it with a burning gaze. As the Boundless Sea Douluo, his fighting capabilities were already close to a God’s when he was fighting in the ocean. Yet, he had a less optimistic feeling after experiencing the collision earlier.
He realized that the titanic whale on the opposite side had an affinity with the sea that had surpassed even his.
Despite the opponent being a sea soul beast, it was Chen Xinjie’s first time experiencing this.
What sort of creature was this whale? It was definitely beyond quasigod rank. Naturally, Chen Xinjie had a good estimation of his own abilities. He knew exactly where he stood, and the clash between himself and the opponent felt equally matched. Nevertheless, Chen Xinjie was well aware that he was actually at a disadvantage.
He had held nothing back with his strike and had amplified it with his many soul skills, but it felt like the opponent only delivered an exploratory attack.
Since when was there such a magnificent entity in the sea? Could it be that this was really the one-million-year soul beast in the legends?
“Who are you actually?” Chen Xinjie transmitted his spiritual consciousness to the opponent in an instant.
Such a formidable sea soul beast’s intelligence would definitely be equal to a human’s.
The giant whale in the distance transmitted an icy message that was filled with evil. “I thought your kind had been looking for me all this time? I’m here now. You’re the Boundless Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie, right? Today, you are going to meet your doom.”
Every word was uttered with the aura of an exceedingly cold consciousness. More precisely, it was a divine consciousness.
Divine Origin!
Surprisingly, the whale’s spiritual rank was Divine Origin too.
In the past few thousand years, the continent almost never produced a powerhouse with such a rank. That being the case, in this particular war, the abyssal plane’s Spirit Monarch, the Spirit Pagoda’s newly appointed Pagoda Master, the Silver Dragon Princess Gu Yuena, possessed Divine Origin spiritual power. The mighty whale before him was actually a Divine Origin-ranked powerhouse too, and he had no idea where it came from.
Chen Xinjie squinted, and the sky blue hue on his body suddenly glowed brighter. His eyes turned gold instantly as he unleashed an incredibly overwhelming spiritual aura. Rays of golden light three feet in length shot out from each of his eyes, setting off the blue-gold color in the surrounding sea.
