Chapter 231: Mu Chen vs. Bo Saixi

The terrifying ice blade hurtled toward Mu Chen at an incredible speed, reaching him in the blink of an eye.

Eighth Soul Skill: Dawn That Pierces the Heavens!

A blinding white light erupted around Mu Chen, forming a sphere that enveloped his body.

Boom!

Bo Saixi's ice blade surged forward but began to melt rapidly as it neared the white light. By the time it was a meter away from Mu Chen, it had completely dissolved into vapor.

Water's Bind!

With a thought, Bo Saixi manipulated the water elements around Mu Chen, condensing them into nine petals that formed a blossoming flower. In an instant, the petals folded inward, creating a bud that encapsulated Mu Chen.

It happened in the span of a breath. By the time Mu Chen realized what had occurred, he was already trapped inside the water flower.

Slash!

A sharp beam of sword light tore through the petals, splitting them open. Mu Chen shot out through the crack, escaping the watery prison.

Water Arrows!

Before Mu Chen could catch his breath, Bo Saixi's will commanded countless water arrows to materialize and rain down upon him.

Absolute Domain!

Seeing no other choice, Mu Chen brought his Chaos Eight Wings together to form a protective cocoon, bracing himself against the barrage.

These water arrows were no ordinary attacks—they were highly compressed water elements, harder than stone. Arrows that missed their target struck the ocean with explosive splashes or created deep craters in the sand.

Each impact sent waves of force rippling through Mu Chen's body, and though his exterior remained unscathed, the shockwaves churned his blood and energy.

Pfft!

Mu Chen coughed up a mouthful of blood, his expression hardening.

"Do you still wish to continue?" Bo Saixi asked calmly.

Mu Chen's gaze sharpened.

While he had yet to face the Sky Invincible or Land Invincible, he now had a clear understanding of the Sea Invincible Bo Saixi's divine might.

"It would be rude not to return the favor!" Mu Chen declared. His seventh soul ring flared to life, its crimson glow illuminating the battlefield.

Seventh Soul Skill: Myriad Swords Return to the Origin!

Mu Chen's command drew the golden elements from the surroundings, materializing countless swords that hovered in the air. With a sweep of his hand, the swords surged toward Bo Saixi like a torrential storm.

Ocean Shield!

Unfazed, Bo Saixi manipulated the water elements into a massive blue sphere of protection around her.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound of swords clashing against her shield echoed through the battlefield, but the Ocean Shield held firm against the onslaught.

Fifth Soul Skill: Wrath of Thunder!

Mu Chen's fifth soul ring glowed crimson as the silver gem on his Chaos Sword flared brilliantly. A gray rune—the mark of his Chaos Heart—lit up on his forehead as silver lightning crackled and surged around him.

The power of the lightning condensed into an enormous silver sword, stretching a thousand meters long.

Boom!

Mu Chen swung the sword down with earth-shattering force. The air around it twisted and distorted, lightning trailing behind the blade as it fell. The moment the silver blade collided with the Ocean Shield, a deafening explosion shook the surroundings. Cracks like spiderwebs spread through the air itself.

The impact's shockwave sent howling winds across the battlefield, whipping the ocean into waves fifty meters high.

As the dust settled, Bo Saixi remained afloat in midair, still clutching her golden staff. Her Ocean Shield had dissipated, and faint arcs of silver lightning crackled around her.

Pfft!

Bo Saixi coughed up blood, her gaze fixed on Mu Chen. "I didn't expect you to be this strong," she admitted, a trace of admiration in her voice.

"You flatter me," Mu Chen replied coolly.

"Flatter you? I haven't admitted defeat yet!" Bo Saixi's ocean-blue eyes blazed with unyielding battle spirit.

"You still want to fight?" Mu Chen asked, slightly surprised.

"Of course. You are exceptional—truly exceptional. Aside from Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu, you are the only one who has forced me to go all out," Bo Saixi praised. As she spoke, light began to glow from her head, torso, limbs, and back.

The radiant light fused together, forming what appeared to be a full suit of armor.

"God Armament?" Mu Chen's brow furrowed.

When a human ascends to godhood, their six soul bones evolve into God Armament. Yet Bo Saixi, still a mortal, possessed such equipment.

Bo Saixi's armor shimmered with a divine blue hue, golden runes flowing across its surface like streams of sacred light.

"Yes. Though I am not a god, I have been blessed by the Seagod. My seven soul bones have evolved into God Armament. With it, my affinity with the ocean reaches ninety percent. Below the gods, within the sea, I am unmatched. Now, do you still wish to fight?" Bo Saixi challenged.

Mu Chen hesitated briefly. The pressure Bo Saixi exuded now was far greater than before. Yet, even so, he smiled. "I want to try."

"Very well—your courage is commendable," Bo Saixi said approvingly.

Water Arrows!

Bo Saixi raised her hand, and once more, countless water arrows materialized. This time, they were a deep blue, their tips glinting with a chilling light under the sun.

Swish!

With a wave of her hand, the arrows shot toward Mu Chen. Their speed was so great that they made no sound, moving faster than the eye could follow.

Seventh Soul Skill: Myriad Swords Return to the Origin!

Mu Chen summoned his golden swords once more, sending them crashing into the oncoming arrows. For a moment, the two forces clashed, neutralizing each other.

"Let the rain fall even harder!" Bo Saixi commanded, her voice resonating across the battlefield. The water arrows doubled in density, turning the attack into a relentless storm.

"Let the rain fall harder!" Mu Chen echoed, his resolve unshaken. The number of swords he summoned also doubled, colliding fiercely with the water arrows.

"What is your name?" Bo Saixi asked suddenly, her voice carrying across the battlefield.

"Mu Chen," he replied without hesitation.

"Mu Chen, beneath the three of us, you may well be the strongest soul master in the world. On land, I might not be your match. But here, in the sea, as the Seagod's High Priest, do you think this is all I can do?" Bo Saixi said with a cryptic smile.

Mu Chen's expression grew serious.

Buzz!

The gem atop Bo Saixi's golden staff erupted with dazzling light. The ocean roared to life, water surging violently. In an instant, countless water arrows form

ed—not just in front of Mu Chen, but beneath him, above him, and from every direction.

Mu Chen was completely surrounded.
