The erupting brilliant light instantly engulfed Bo Saixi, but until everything ended and Bo Saixi opened her eyes, she discovered that nothing around her had changed. Only behind her, strands of icy cold airflow surged out wildly, causing the temperature around the entire Sea God Island to drop noticeably for a moment.
The crisp cracking sound became increasingly clear and loud. The Cold Heaven Spear sliced through the space behind Bo Saixi as easily as chopping melons and vegetables. From the endless void, a familiar aura emanated. Bo Saixi's pupils shrank slightly; for a moment, she found it somewhat unbelievable.
Deep within the void, spatial turbulence surged. Even a Limit Douluo would find it almost impossible to venture deep inside. Bo Saixi couldn't understand why the group she had sent into another dimension with her sixth soul skill, Sea Burial, would still have their auras reappear in the Douluo plane. Even if Sea Dragon Douluo, the strongest on Sea God Island besides herself, were to take this strike, survival would have been utterly impossible.
The destruction from the Cold Heaven Spear continued. Shen Hanyu was ultimately not a god and could not easily break through this special space between planes. However, given some time, breaking through was not particularly difficult for him.
Bo Saixi remained silent for a moment, then slowly stepped aside. The time of one incense stick was neither long nor short. She knew that Shen Hanyu needed time to pierce through this barrier, and the auras of the group were already clearly transmitting through the cracks.
Under these circumstances, she had no reason to attack Shen Hanyu, because the other party had not interfered with the God Exam. As long as Shen Hanyu controlled the time needed to break through the barrier to occur after the God Exam's time limit, it meant that unless she now crossed the barrier to hunt down the group, the one who would ultimately fail this test would be her.
But for a Limit Douluo, such an action would be no different from suicide. Although she already possessed a damaged divine position and could mobilize a considerable amount of divine power, the risk was simply too great. Even with her temperament, she still did not dare act recklessly.
…
On the other side, the pressure Shen Hanyu endured was equally heavy. Before successfully guiding the group back, he needed to continuously maintain the instability of that space. Only then could he successfully retrieve them after the God Exam time had passed. Just as Bo Saixi had thought, the risk of doing so was extremely high. If he were even slightly careless and allowed the spatial turbulence to rush out of the area he had restricted, even if everyone attacked with full force, an uncontrollable outcome would be inevitable.
Ever since the group had approached Shen Hanyu two days ago to express their thoughts, he had initially spent some time thinking it over, but in the end, he had agreed.
Back then, after Shen Liuyu devoured the soul ring and the evil god bloodline within the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, she had also swallowed that strange black bead.
After inheriting all the abilities of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger as well as its evil god bloodline, Shen Liuyu later comprehended and developed a unique spatial soul skill on top of that.
This spatial soul skill, which was similar to teleportation, was extremely unique. As long as the user left a coordinate at the original location and returned to that original coordinate within the limited time, no matter where the person who cast the soul skill went, they would be protected by the evil god bloodline within Shen Liuyu's body and remain safe.
Of course, the specific effectiveness of this soul skill still depended on the distance and environment of the teleportation. Spatial soul skills were known for their unpredictability, and space itself was the same, this was already beyond what human power could imagine or guess…
At the same time, although this soul skill was powerful and seemingly unsolvable, its drawbacks were also enormous. If the user failed to control the direction they wanted to go, or if there was no sufficiently powerful existence to guide them back, the person who cast the soul skill would very easily become lost in space with no way to escape.
In summary, this was an unimaginably unique soul skill. Like time, it could be changed or controlled, yet it inherently maintained an uncontrollable essence. Shen Hanyu's agreement for them to use this soul skill had also been made after deep consideration, and now, it was the practical test to prove whether his conjecture was correct.
…
At this moment, Bo Saixi had also arrived beside Tang Chen. Her mood was particularly complicated, there was a sense of disappointment, yet also a feeling of relief as if everything had settled. But looking at Tang Chen beside her and the child, she could only smile bitterly in the end.
On the other side, Shen Hanyu had already increased the release of his soul power. The Cold Heaven Spear bloomed with incomparably brilliant light, and invisible flames seemed to ignite on the sharp spear blade. Merely from the aftershocks, the surrounding space began to tremble continuously.
Shen Hanyu's figure instantly disappeared. In the next moment, the long spear was in his hand. Looking at a point of light within the boundless darkness, he then hurled the Cold Heaven Spear directly in that direction.
A single point of cold light produced ten thousand feet of radiance. As the Cold Heaven Spear plunged into the darkness, terrifying soul power instantly erupted within this nearly enclosed space. Seven-colored light seeped out from the deepest part, and all forces began to flow in reverse, transforming into a powerful suction force that could nearly annihilate everything.
Bo Saixi gently waved the scepter in her hand, and a blue barrier formed out of thin air, immediately protecting the Sea God Island below.
A trace of fire lit up in Tang Chen's eyes, which was an obsession and longing. He then said:
"I smell the aura of a god on him. This is not from the God Exam or divine power; it is godhood originating from his very essence. Now, as long as the plane weakens the laws pressing down on him even a little, he can become a god at any time… No, becoming a god is only a matter of time for him. Possessing god-level combat power even before truly becoming a god, I find it hard to imagine just how far he can go in the future…"
Bo Saixi slowly withdrew the scepter in her hand. Her gaze fell upon Shen Hanyu standing above in the endless energy turbulence, walking as though in his own courtyard. She let out a soft sigh, then took the child from Tang Chen's hands and turned to walk toward the Sea God Temple.
…
Under Shen Hanyu's continuous efforts, the energy that had begun to reverse around them slowly dissipated. At a certain moment, Shen Hanyu exerted force fiercely. The tip of the Cold Heaven Spear suddenly touched a faint crack hidden in the darkness. In the next instant, blue light bloomed, and a black-purple energy shield slowly emerged from within. Shen Hanyu's soul power surged out, immediately pulling it out from the endless turbulence.
After leaving the turbulence, the color of the black-purple circular energy shield began to fade gradually. It was completely shattered when it neared the ground. Immediately after, the bodies of the women fell heavily, landing on the ground one after another.
Except for Shen Liuyu and Shui Bing'er, who were barely staying conscious through sheer pain, the others all bore extremely terrifying injuries and had already fallen into deep unconsciousness.
Shen Liuyu and Shui Bing'er successively spat out mouthfuls of bright red blood. Then, Shen Liuyu was the first to sway a few times before collapsing straight onto the ground.
Shui Bing'er's consciousness also began to grow hazy. The intense pain in her body and the extreme mental exhaustion made even lifting her head an extremely difficult task. Under these circumstances, she only managed to hold on a few seconds longer than Shen Liuyu before she too fell forward.
Shen Hanyu watched the scene below, then slowly withdrew from the chaotic space. Without his power to support it, the crack was repaired at an astonishing speed in no time and soon vanished without a trace.
Xue Di and the others hurriedly stepped forward to check on Shui Bing'er and the rest. Even Shen Hanyu couldn't help feeling somewhat tense in his heart.
Such an action required him to be extremely cautious, let alone the women whose strength and cultivation were far behind his.
After a thorough check, You Mengchu's expression seemed to relax slightly, though it was still not very good.
"Lingling should have been protected in the middle by them. Her injuries are serious, but she should be able to wake up after resting for a period of time."
"Xue Wu and the others have much more severe injuries than Lingling. Many of them have injuries that have damaged their foundations. They will need a very long time afterward to repair them, leaving behind aftereffects will be inevitable."
"Of course, I'm quite familiar with this kind of thing, so I'll take responsibility for it."
"Additionally, Xiao Nian and Yanzi are the two most seriously injured besides Bing'er and A'Yu. The time they remain unconscious may be relatively long, but at least their lives were not endangered…"
"Bing'er and A'Yu are in the most critical condition. Even if they wake up within the next month and a half, they absolutely cannot use their soul power, they will definitely suffer backlash. The good thing is that it seems some existence helped them block the fatal injuries, allowing them to return safely…"
After You Mengchu finished speaking, the expressions on everyone's faces were not very good. Such a result was definitely not a good thing. None of them had wanted to see it, but now that it had really happened, the emotions in their hearts could be imagined.
Shen Hanyu used his soul power to lift the women, then said softly:
"Regardless, let's take them back to recuperate first. Mengchu, you're skilled in these matters, so I'll have to trouble you…"
You Mengchu smiled somewhat helplessly and said:
"When did you become so polite? We're all family; there's no need to say such things. Don't worry, I may be a bit cold toward others, but toward my own people, I will definitely give it my all…"
Shen Hanyu nodded. Space tore open behind him, and he was the first to walk in while carrying the women. The others exchanged glances and hurriedly followed.
…
Before this, Gu Yuena, who was wandering across the Sun Moon Continent with Bi Ji and Zi Ji, suddenly trembled all over. Immediately after, her gaze swiftly turned toward the direction of Sea God Island, and various emotions flashed through her eyes.
"This is… has a god descended upon the Douluo Continent…?"
"No, that's not right. They wouldn't descend without reason. Then it can only mean someone has passed through that barrier…"
Gu Yuena's self-muttering quickly left Bi Ji and Zi Ji behind her, completely bewildered. After a long while, Bi Ji finally asked cautiously:
"My Lord, what exactly happened?"
Hearing Bi Ji's voice, Gu Yuena finally snapped out of that dazed state. Her consciousness slowly returned to clarity, and she let out a soft sigh of relief before slowly explaining:
"Just now, I sensed a familiar aura coming from the direction of the Douluo Continent. I originally thought a god had descended or someone had broken through the Limit and entered the hundredth level. But now I realize that the scale was too small to match either of those scenarios. The only explanation that makes sense now is one situation…"
At this point, Gu Yuena paused slightly before continuing:
"That is, someone just broke through the special region connecting one plane to another, and during this process, someone crossed that broken region…"
Hearing Gu Yuena's words, Bi Ji and Zi Ji exchanged glances, still somewhat at a loss.
Gu Yuena's gaze remained unchanged. After a long while, she continued:
"If nothing unexpected happened, this commotion was caused by Shen Hanyu. In the entire Douluo plane right now, besides me, who possesses this ability, among the remaining powerhouses, only he could have done it. Even Di Tian would appear rather powerless in this matter…"
Bi Ji took another two steps forward and said softly:
"Then My Lord should worry even less. Since no major accident occurred, My Lord should set her mind at ease. Shen Hanyu is not the type to say one thing and do another. Although his ideas are somewhat crazy, if he really succeeds, it would actually be a good thing for our soul beast clan…"
Gu Yuena smiled lightly and waved her hand, then said:
"That's not the point I care about right now. What I care about is that Shen Hanyu was able to break the domain wall. I can break the domain wall because I was once a god, and I am familiar with these anomalies…"
"But Shen Hanyu? He is merely a young human who has been cultivating for just over twenty years. Yet he can shatter the domain wall that only gods can pass through with pure strength. Even if he only shattered a tiny opening, this is still the greatest affirmation of his strength…"
"In other words, his combat power can no longer be described using human concepts. If put another way, he has truly become a god…"
"This…"
Bi Ji smiled bitterly. She could understand what Gu Yuena meant, but hearing her boss say it out loud still filled her heart with undeniable shock.
Her husband Di Tian had pursued that so-called god level for hundreds of thousands of years. From the time she met Di Tian, he had already stood at the peak of the soul beast clan. Over the years, she had accompanied Di Tian on journeys to too many places and witnessed countless efforts on his part, but the final results had always been failures without exception.
Even though Di Tian possessed the Dragon God Claw bestowed by the Dragon God, this did not mean he possessed true god-level cultivation. It could only be said that Di Tian could erupt with god-level combat power. The difference seemed small, but it was truly a world apart.
Gu Yuena waved her hand, interrupting the two's thoughts. In her heart, that white dragon scale had once again emitted light. After a moment, she said:
"Shen Hanyu's cultivated girls have all suffered severe injuries. Their group's arrival time on this continent may be delayed. He is asking for our thoughts…"
Bi Ji adjusted her state and then asked softly:
"Then what are My Lord's thoughts?"
Gu Yuena infused a strand of spiritual power into the dragon scale, then looked into the distance once more. After pondering for a long while, she finally said:
"Let's go back and take a look. Aside from our purpose, there is actually nothing on this continent worth lingering over. This time going back, I also happen to want to verify one thing…"
