Phantylia elegantly raised the branch constructed of destructive energy in her hand, and the surrounding purplish-black Silence Flames instantly flared up.
The original Net of Destruction suddenly changed shape again, transforming into countless thorny whips, all burning with destructive flames and covered in barbs. They tore through space from even more tricky, unpredictable, and inescapable angles, sweeping toward Tang San from all directions.
Where they passed, space shattered like fragile colored glaze, revealing the dark background of chaotic void behind.
"Fixed-Point Storm!"
Tang San dared not be negligent in the slightest. The Seagod Trident once again unleashed profoundly mystical golden halos. The power of the laws of time and space was forcibly interfered with, distorted, and solidified.
The thousands of savage destructive thorns instantly plunged into an invisible but extremely viscous deep-sea mire. Their speed abruptly decreased by several times, making their advance extraordinarily difficult and sluggish.
A flicker of genuine astonishment crossed Phantylia's eyes for the first time, immediately replaced by a more intense interest and investigative curiosity.
"You're not relying on brute force to counter, but directly interfering with the laws of time and space in this realm? Interesting, truly interesting!"
Like a child who had found a new toy, she gently waved the branch in her hand. The massive shadowy tree of destruction behind her reappeared. The howling planetary Phantylias hanging on the tree seemed to become clearer and more painful.
The giant tree swayed, as if performing some evil, ancient sacrificial ritual.
"Wither Rain: Annihilation of All Forms!"
No longer thorny whips, but countless purplish-black petals, condensed to the extreme and flashing with dangerous black light on their edges, poured down like a torrential rain falling from the cosmic abyss.
Each petal was like an insatiably greedy miniature black hole, frantically devouring and annihilating all life energy and matter along its path. Even light could not escape its pull. The destructive energy contained within was so pure that it would make an ordinary true god change color.
Tang San's expression was extremely solemn. His vast Seagod Divine Power surged out without reservation, rapidly compressing and condensing in front of him into an incredibly thick, azure giant light shield, circulating with countless defensive divine runes.
The rain of destructive petals densely smashed onto the light shield, emitting a grating "sizzle" of corrosion. The shield's surface violently fluctuated, its light dimming visibly, as if it could shatter at any moment.
"Returning No More!"
The golden trident mark on Tang San's forehead suddenly erupted with a radiance as brilliant as the sun. He violently threw the Seagod Trident in his hand.
The golden trident transformed into a golden lightning bolt that tore through the heavens and earth, charging forward relentlessly. Wherever it passed, the purplish-black petals burst and annihilated like bubbles, forcibly carving out a brief vacuum tunnel in the destructive storm. The divine light at the trident's tip condensed, aiming directly at Phantylia's glabella, its speed exceeding the limits of thought.
However, the golden light passed through Phantylia's body without any resistance—it was merely an incredibly lifelike Phantylia.
Phantylia's true body appeared like a ghost in the absolute blind spot of Tang San's left-side vision. Her delicate finger pointed forward seemingly gently. A Seed of Illusion, so tiny it was almost impossible to catch with divine sense, but containing a wisp of her primordial will of destruction, silently pierced through Tang San's layers of divine power barriers and instantly sank into his left arm.
"Ugh!"
Tang San let out a muffled groan. He instantly felt a cold, stagnant, and malevolently mad alien energy invade his divine sense body.
The skin on his left arm immediately showed savage, twisted purplish-black lines that quickly spread upward like a living creature. Wherever it passed, his Seagod Divine Power was rapidly polluted and assimilated, even beginning to generate a crazy will to turn against its master and embrace destruction.
"What bizarre and venomous energy."
Tang San was deeply shocked and dared not hesitate for a moment.
He immediately circulated the Mysterious Heaven Skill mantra to safeguard his core essence, while fully urging his Seagod Divine Power at all costs. Brilliant gold and blue divine light erupted from within his body, burning like a small supernova.
"Get out of me!"
He roared, forcibly expelling the almost-rooted Seed of Illusion along with the polluted portion of his divine power from his left arm, at the cost of consuming a large amount of his primordial divine power.
With a soft poof, a mass of purplish-black energy burst open and slowly dissipated in the air. Tang San's left arm temporarily returned to its azure color, but its light was visibly dimmer, and his aura was slightly chaotic.
"Oh? To be able to expel my Seed of Illusion so quickly?"
Phantylia retreated a distance lightly, covering her mouth with a soft chuckle, the interest in her eyes growing even more intense.
"You are far more interesting than you appear. It seems I cannot afford to play around too much."
Tang San stopped replying, his eyes sharp as blades forged from cold ice.
He knew that conventional methods could not truly harm this bizarre, unpredictable enemy with its extremely troublesome energy attribute. He had to use everything this clone could muster and launch the ultimate strike, striving to settle the victory.
He took a deep breath, pouring all his remaining divine power into the Seagod Trident without reservation. The trident body hummed incessantly, as if unable to bear the vast power.
"Golden Thirteen Halberds, Thirteenth Form—Man and Halberd as One, Heaven and Earth Shift !"
The man and the halberd achieved perfect resonance and fusion at this moment, transforming into a supremely brilliant golden stream of light, as if capable of piercing the galaxy and reversing time and space. Its momentum was unstoppable, charging directly at Phantylia with absolute resolve.
Concurrently, the vast Seagod Domain fully unfolded. The azure divine light enveloped the surroundings like a cosmic tide. Invisible yet immensely heavy water pressure and spatial confinement forces stacked upon one another, binding Phantylia's figure tightly, like a deep-sea mire ten million feet beneath the surface.
Countless golden halberd shadows appeared out of thin air, seamlessly sealing all possible spatial trajectories she could use to evade.
Facing this ultimate strike, which gathered all the power, will, and even part of the primal essence of this Seagod Tang San clone, Phantylia finally put away her ever-present playful and relaxed demeanor.
"Astonishing resolve and power... commendable."
Phantylia slowly clasped her hands over her chest, her voice becoming ethereal, solemn, and cold, as if pronouncing a judgment of the end.
"In that case, let me give you the respect you deserve, with the true form of the Annihilation Gang Lord..."
The Destructive Giant Tree Phantylia behind Phantylia wildly inflated and solidified. Its thick black roots aggressively plunged into the surrounding void, even forcefully piercing into the primordial Sea of Life of the Golden Tree, greedily and violently extracting the endless vitality and converting it into a far more terrifying, purer power of silence and destruction.
Phantylia's energy body simultaneously underwent a massive transformation. Purplish-black destructive energy condensed into countless exotic black lotus flowers that rapidly rotated around her. Her aura surged wildly at an incredible speed. The double oppression in terms of spirit and energy instantly surpassed the previous level by several times.
"This is, Annihilation of All Creation!"
She slowly pushed out her palms. A pitch-black energy sphere, deep as an abyss and seemingly capable of devouring all light, condensed from a massive amount of forcibly extracted life essence and her own ultimate will of destruction. It moved slowly, yet inexorably, to meet the world-rending golden stream of light.
The two terrifying energies, each capable of easily tearing apart continents and annihilating stars, finally collided fiercely and squarely, without any extravagance, right in the most core, most fragile region of the Golden Tree!
"OMMM—!!!!"
A massive sound, indescribable by any earthly language, did not travel through the air but echoed directly in the deepest part of every soul capable of sensing this battle.
The space inside the Golden Tree shattered like a broken mirror. Countless spatial fragments scattered. The extremely savage energy turbulence completely lost control, sweeping everything away like a breached dam.
The destructive shockwave generated by this boundary-transcending, terrifying collision could no longer be contained by the Golden Tree's own spatial barriers. Like a volcano built to its limit, it violently broke through all restraints and completely erupted.
Outside, on Seagod Island.
Rumble!!!
The entire island experienced an unprecedented, violent earthquake. Deep, bottomless fissures cracked open in the ground.
Centered on the Golden Tree, a twin-colored energy pillar, mixing brilliant gold-blue and ominous purplish-black, shot into the sky. It was immensely thick, instantly churning the clouds for thousands of miles, dyeing the entire sky in a strange and oppressive hue.
Extremely terrifying, divine-level pressure, mixed with the aura of destruction, crashed down like a tangible, primordial mountain upon the hearts and souls of everyone on the island.
"No, the Golden Tree... something is happening to the Golden Tree!!"
Yan Shaozhe paled in horror, no longer caring about decorum, looking in terror at the violently trembling, frantically flashing, and seemingly about to disintegrate ancient Golden Tree.
Only then did they truly understand what was happening inside the sacred grounds of their academy behind them.
The familiar gold-blue energy was the same source as the Light of the Seagod that had guarded the academy for generations—it was the source of their faith.
The other purplish-black evil energy, with its terrifying destructive aura, far surpassed any being in their knowledge, including the frozen Beast God Di Tian.
"Wait, Di Tian!"
An extremely senior Seagod Pavilion Elder suddenly realized, his voice trembling violently with fear.
"Why hasn't he broken the seal yet?! With his power, it's impossible for him to be frozen indefinitely. What connection does the change in the Golden Tree have with him?"
Their gazes snapped toward the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King still frozen in the giant ice crystal in the distance.
Di Tian's abnormal silence and the earth-shattering upheaval inside the Golden Tree intertwined, forming a massive, chilling, yet impenetrable mystery.
Not only Shrek Academy's side, but the Soul Beast army was equally shocked and at a loss by the sudden, sky-shaking event.
"What happened? That tree... what in the world happened inside that tree?!"
Bi Ji's beautiful face was filled with shock and horror. She looked toward Seagod Island, toward the heaven-reaching Golden Tree, which now seemed to be groaning in pain and erupting with destructive energy.
The life-level pressure and pure sense of power emanating from both of the suddenly erupting and fiercely colliding energy fluctuations far surpassed the feeling Di Tian had given her.
This was a collision in the true divine realm.
A mix of relief, fear, and even a hint of bewilderment surged in her heart.
Fortunately, the Soul Beast army did not immediately launch a full-scale offensive after Di Tian was frozen. Otherwise, crashing head-on into these terrifying beings, who were fighting within the Golden Tree and were comparable to or even surpassing ordinary gods, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
That would be a devastating, irrecoverable loss for the entire Soul Beast clan.
Forget these hundreds of thousands of Soul Beasts; even they, the Ferocious Beasts, would risk utter annihilation if they dared to approach that horrific battlefield.
