Chapter 646: Facing the Sea God’s Avatar, Planetary Devastation!

"Look, this is the supreme artifact I acquired from my seventh Life Trial, the Tree of Life. It holds an incredibly pure essence of life. Once we're back, we can revive your mother," Su Ming explained, showing Xiao Wu the artifact.

Xiao Wu's eyes filled with tears of joy, but she quickly composed herself and asked, "Brother, what about our trials here? What if we exceed the time limit?"

She hadn't forgotten that failure to complete the trials within a year would mean death.

Meanwhile, in the divine realm, the Sea God felt relief as the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life finally departed. However, he quickly sensed Su Ming's actions on Sea God Island, planning to take the others away.

It wouldn't be so easy. After investing so much of his faith power, he wasn't about to let them just leave!

Though killing Su Ming directly was now out of reach, his companions were still vulnerable. The Sea God channeled his divine power into Bo Saixi, intending to control her and launch a surprise attack on Xiao Wu's group.

But when he attempted to seize control, he discovered something strange—some sort of protective force around Bo Saixi was blocking his divine power.

Something was wrong!

On Sea God Island, Bo Saixi furrowed her brow, sensing the Sea God's power departing from her body.

"Something's off! Step back!" she called out, retreating from Su Ming's group.

In that moment, the divine power within Bo Saixi coalesced into a towering Sea God avatar.

"Bo Saixi, why aren't you kneeling before your god?" the Sea God's voice resounded across the island.

The people of Sea God Island immediately dropped to their knees. The Seven Sacred Pillar guardians arrived, witnessing the avatar in awe as they knelt down, but their surprise only grew when they noticed that Bo Saixi was standing still.

"Lord Sea God, I am nothing but a tool to you. Just now, you tried to use me against Su Ming and the others, didn't you? Why should I give my life for a god I've never met?"

The Seven Sacred Pillar guardians were stunned. None of them had ever heard that the Sea God's trials required their high priest's sacrifice.

"High Priest, what's going on?" asked Sea Dragon Douluo, leader of the Seven Sacred Pillars.

Bo Saixi replied calmly, "It's a long story. If you still respect me as your high priest, then you'll stop worshipping this Sea God. We were never anything but tools for his power. And though there are deeper reasons I cannot explain right now, I trust you'll understand in time."

Sea Dragon Douluo glanced at Su Ming, piecing together that the Sea God must see him as a threat to go so far as to manipulate Bo Saixi.

In a show of unity, the Seven Sacred Pillar guardians took their place behind Bo Saixi, making their loyalty clear. While the Sea God was their deity, Bo Saixi was their unwavering pillar of support. To them, the Sea God's actions were dishonorable.

"Hmph! You dare defy your god, who bestowed upon you these trials and protected this island? You all dare betray me?" the Sea God sneered.

He raised his Sea God Trident, bringing it down upon them with force.

"Danger!" Bo Saixi warned.

"Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence!" Su Ming reacted swiftly, summoning a massive wood barrier to shield everyone on the island.

"Sea God, the people of this island still believe in you. Isn't it unworthy of you to endanger them like this?" Su Ming glared. The Sea God's attack had shown complete disregard for the lives of his devotees.

Now empowered by the Tree of Life's divine energy, Su Ming had no doubt he could handle the Sea God's avatar.

"Bo Saixi, old monster, protect Xiao Wu and the others. I'll take care of the Sea God!" Su Ming's hands came together in a seal, summoning True Several Thousand Hands, his form at the top, adorned with the face of a sage.

"Su Ming, don't think you can flaunt your strength just because you resisted me once in Spirit City. This is Sea God Island—my domain!" The Sea God raised his trident. "First Form of the Sea God Trident: Endless Waves!"

This ultimate control skill could incapacitate any soul master below god level for eight seconds and those at god level for at least three seconds—more than enough for the Sea God to act.

"Kamui!" Su Ming's form blurred as the Sea God's attack passed right through him.

"What? Impossible!" The Sea God stared in disbelief. Was that ability from those eyes of his?

Su Ming smirked. This was Kamui's intangibility, one of his most powerful techniques, though he seldom used it due to its potency. But with the Sea God's oppressive control skill, he had no choice.

Recalling the Sea God's mention of his "home field advantage," Su Ming understood the source of the power—the Seven Sacred Pillars on the island, which served as the main reservoir of faith energy.

Without hesitation, Su Ming summoned seven Wooden Giants, each mounted on a dragon of wood, to storm toward the Seven Sacred Pillars.

He'd considered asking someone else to destroy the pillars, but that posed risks; only god-level beings could take them down effectively.

"Su Ming! How dare you desecrate my sanctum!" The Sea God's rage flared as he readied another strike with his trident.

But Su Ming wouldn't allow it.

As he reopened his eyes, their pupils gleamed a deep, powerful violet—Rinnegan.

"Planetary Devastation!" Su Ming shouted.

A massive black sphere appeared around the Sea God, creating an intense gravitational pull that began drawing in seawater, rocks, and every nearby object toward it.
