The surrounding air seemed to become much more humid, with water vapor constantly condensing in the air until it gathered into visible water droplets falling from above.
The Demon Emperor's form swayed, and the sea beneath it also began to change accordingly, sometimes turbulent, sometimes calm, sometimes a storm, sometimes waves; the entire ocean became its power.
At this moment, Wang Nan vaguely recalled the time the Silver Dragon King made a Move. Every time Silver Dragon King Gu Yue acted, the elemental force between heaven and earth would dance with her.
And now, this sea seemed to have transformed into the Domain of this Spirit Beast. This was no longer just the power of a Spirit Beast; its cultivation had already touched a higher level.
The Formation covering Dongyang City and a large surrounding area quietly activated, dark red light shooting straight into the sky, and sharp shrieks echoed. The temperature of the entire Dongyang City seemed to drop significantly at this instant. Even Ju and others guarding Huo Yuhao couldn't help but shiver.
Wang Nan felt the Coiling Dragon Staff in his hand tremble slightly, not out of fear, but out of Battle Intent.
Only when facing a stronger opponent could the Coiling Dragon Staff unleash greater power. In over two years, Wang Nan had not encountered an opponent capable of allowing the Coiling Rod to display its unique characteristics for a long time.
The Coiling Dragon Staff and Wang Nan, Spirit and Spirit Master, resonated at this moment.
His right arm raised high, holding the Coiling Dragon Staff above his head, the Evil Breaking Dragon let out a Dragon's roar.
One Dragon roared, and ten thousand Dragons responded.
Innumerable Dragon souls' intentions emerged from the ethereal. At this moment, Wang Nan was both a Spirit Master and like a general commanding a multitude of Dragons and leading an army.
Wang Nan's spirit power could Breakthrough from Level 95 to Level 98 in two years, not only due to the rich primal energy of heaven and earth in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest but also because his understanding of his Spirit had reached a new level.
Chop, sweep, collapse, strike, point - the first five Moves of the Unbending Staff Technique were derived from the basic Moves of his Coiling Dragon Staff Technique, and the sixth Move was this power that commanded a multitude of Dragons.
Unbending Staff Technique, Sixth Move, Conquering Heaven and Earth.
A murderous Energy suddenly filled the air.
As the most powerful Spirit Beast in the ocean, without the intervention of the God Realm, the Demon Emperor itself could leverage the power of the entire sea.
And at this moment, such immense power had met a formidable foe.
A golden figure stood in the sky. Wang Nan held the Coiling Dragon Staff in one hand, swung his right arm down, and pointed the rod's tip straight forward. The next instant, Dragon roars echoed, and countless rod shadows appeared out of nowhere in the Void Realm, densely smashing down towards the Demon Emperor.
The rules between heaven and earth were instantly shattered by these rod shadows. The impact and chaotic Energy brought by the broken rules fell along with the rod shadows.
The Demon Emperor only felt as if it had lost its connection with the sea, followed by a surge of pain from its body.
Its massive body was enveloped by golden rod shadows. The power, condensed from Wang Nan's spirit power and mental force, surged through the Demon Emperor's body, wreaking havoc.
"After all, it's just the power of a Mortal!"
The Demon Emperor's shrill voice came out of its mouth. The next instant, purple light enveloped its entire body, and its massive, hundreds of meters long body suddenly plunged into the sea.
Huge waves surged up, and hundred-meter-high waves roared as they spread outwards.
The water droplets falling in the air suddenly flew backward, transforming into streaks of blue-purple light that streaked through space towards Wang Nan.
Drops of seemingly ordinary seawater, containing immense power, reached Wang Nan's eyes in a blink. Before Wang Nan could react, streaks of light suddenly lit up on the sea surface.
Those lights converged in the deep sea into a bright purple Formation, followed by a massive purplish-gold beam of light that erupted and shot towards Wang Nan.
At the same time, the surrounding air was suddenly isolated, and Wang Nan's body seemed to pause for an instant, as if the entire World wanted to reject him.
Wang Nan's gaze fell below the sea surface. Golden light shone in his eyes and on his forehead, and his spirit power poured out, but the Demon Emperor's attack ultimately did not leave him with too severe injuries.
The sixth and ninth spirit rings lit up, also Domain skills, spreading outwards from him as the center.
He retracted his right hand, gripping the Coiling Dragon Staff with both hands. The myriad rod shadows seemed to have been paused in mid-air. The next instant, as Wang Nan's spirit power surged, those rod shadows rapidly flew back, merging into the Coiling Dragon Staff in Wang Nan's hand.
Each time a rod shadow was reabsorbed, the Coiling Dragon Staff in Wang Nan's hand brightened a bit. By the time the myriad rod shadows disappeared, the golden long rod in his hand was already dazzling and impossible to look at directly.
"Yuhao, how is it?"
In Dongyang City, Douluo Xuanji held up his Spirit, the Xuanji Umbrella, to shield Huo Yuhao behind him, resisting the aftershocks of Wang Nan and the Demon Emperor's battle.
"It's done."
As Huo Yuhao's words fell, all the people who had been sleeping in nightmares instantly woke up. Feeling the turmoil outside, some subconsciously looked up at the golden figure in the sky.
Wang Nan lowered his hands, and the Coiling Dragon Staff in his hands seemed to bend slightly.
The next moment, the rod fell.
The seawater beneath his feet surged to both sides, and the entire sea was split in half by this one strike, revealing what lay beneath the seabed.
The Demon Emperor's movements paused for an instant. On the seabed beneath it, where there was no longer any seawater, a very deep gully was clearly visible.
At this moment, Wang Nan once again saw the 'prison' that the World had used to trap him. Only this time, this prison was so fragile; a slight swing of the Coiling Dragon Staff in his hand was enough to break the 'prison' and soar away.
Just as Wang Nan raised his hand, a faint call suddenly echoed in his ears.
"Please - spare - it -"
Wang Nan instantly snapped back to reality, turning to look southwest. There, in that direction, was the Qiankun Asking Love Valley.
Although the voice came without a sound, with Wang Nan's perception at this time, he simply knew that the voice was related to that place.
In Dongyang City, Shattered Star Douluo and the others looked up at the sky, dumbfounded.
Just at that instant, perhaps even Wang Nan himself hadn't noticed, merely the action of raising the Coiling Dragon Staff caused the surrounding space to collapse. The receding seawater flowed into those collapsed spatial cracks, disappearing to an unknown location.
The Demon Emperor's eyes were filled with the golden figure in the sky. It shrieked, and its massive body suddenly turned its head, heading towards the deep sea.
Wang Nan looked at it from afar and ultimately extinguished the thought of pursuing it.
That Spirit Beast's power was not to be underestimated, and he himself had expended a considerable amount. If he were to truly follow it into the deep sea, the outcome would be uncertain.
Moreover, at this moment, he had a more important matter.
On the other side, Sealing God Douluo flew to Shattered Star Douluo's side, watching the giant golden figure in the sky slowly disappear, a hint of eagerness rising in his heart.
He, in the Sun Moon Empire, was merely serving under a prince, yet he had not expected the Star Luo Empire to send such an impressive force to rescue him.
