On the sea.
The waves calmed, and the wind also stopped.
Only a three-foot-long sword, with an astonishing aura, had actually scared away sea beasts within a radius of several miles.
Sharp sword energy coiled around the sword. With a gentle swing, it unleashed a strike comparable to that of a ninth-tier master.
After examining the sword for a while, he finally found two characters on the hilt.
"Tidal!"
The Tidal Sword, that was the name of this demigod sword.
It was with this sword that the previous city lord not only secured the foremost position in the Inner Cabinet but also kept the sea clan in check, deterring them from invasion. His prestige was unparalleled for a time.
Had he not perished in that battle years ago, he might have already ascended to demigod status!
Holding this sword, his confidence soared, as if he held the heavens and earth in his grasp, giving him a feeling of complete control.
"Too powerful!"
"Hahahaha!!!"
He laughed maniacally, his voice clear for miles around!
Suddenly!
An anomaly occurred!
A withered arm stretched out from the void, reaching for the Tidal Sword.
"Boy, a mere ninth-tier, you are unworthy of the Tidal Sword. Hand it over, this divine sword belongs to this old man!"
Before the words even fell, the hand was about to touch the Tidal Sword.
Such speed! Fang Jin's heart leaped in alarm. He drew the Tidal Sword and swiftly slashed towards the intruder!
"Tidal Immeasurable!"
Instantly, streams of azure tide materialized from nowhere in the void. The tide carried a heavy, imposing aura, combined with a sharp, piercing energy. The two merged, engulfing the withered hand within the surging waters.
"Sever!" Fang Jin commanded softly.
Boom!!!
The azure light blazed, and the tide compressed, forming immense pressure.
Suddenly, Fang Jin's expression turned to one of shock. He quickly retreated several miles.
The ancient voice echoed once more.
"Heh, the City Lord of East Sea City back then couldn't even injure this old man, let alone you?"
"Hand it over, the Tidal Sword!"
He casually waved his arm, and the tide wrapped around it was shaken off.
Then, his arm continued its lunge towards the Tidal Sword.
Boom!
The arm was too fast. Fang Jin had no reaction before his hand was empty.
The Tidal Sword was snatched away!
He stared at his empty palm, filled with both anger and helplessness.
At that moment, the owner of the withered arm revealed himself. Holding the Tidal Sword, he laughed heartily, "This old man has searched for a hundred years. I must thank you, human, for your efforts. Now, I shall send you to your death."
With that, he raised the Tidal Sword and swung it towards Fang Jin.
"Human, die!"
Rumble!!!!
A stream of azure tide solidified into a slash hundreds of meters long.
As the slash descended, the wind howled.
Fang Jin tried to dodge, but he found that the strike had locked onto him. No matter where he turned, the slash would pursue him.
He watched the approaching strike, despair in his voice, "Am I going to die here?"
"Is this the fate of our East Sea City Lords? Two generations falling to the hands of the same alien race!"
"Heh, I am not reconciled!"
His eyes turned red, and he roared, "Even if I die, Fang Jin will not die by your hand!"
He compressed the energy within his body and shouted, "Self-destruct!"
The energy was compressing, and as he was about to detonate, two hands suddenly pressed down on his shoulders.
Instantly, he vanished from his spot, and the energy within him rapidly calmed.
Fu Yao Zi said with a helpless expression, "What's wrong with you, always self-destructing? That's not a good habit."
The Controller also chimed in with a chuckle, "Don't be a fool and imitate Lin Yu. No matter how many times that guy self-destructs, his main body remains unharmed."
Yan Jun also offered comfort, "The opponent is a demigod. It's normal that you can't defeat him, so don't be discouraged."
The Divine Monk chanted a Buddhist phrase, "Amitabha, this poor monk believes that only by enduring hardship can one reach the other shore. Master Fang need not wear such a mournful face."
Fang Jin felt like crying but had no tears. Although he had been saved, how could he possibly be happy?
His demigod artifact was gone!
My demigod artifact!
He screamed inwardly, but seeing the concerned gazes of those around him, he fell silent.
Alas.
In the end, all his regrets turned into a sigh.
So be it. It's good to be alive. Losing the demigod artifact is just a loss.
"Cough! Cough!!"
He spat out a large mouthful of blood, and his body rapidly weakened.
At this moment, he had lost all his mental fortitude, and his body could no longer hold on.
Seeing this, the others quickly helped him up.
The Controller shouted, "Quickly find some healing awakeners, find several!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sky suddenly darkened.
"What's happening? Why did the sky suddenly turn dark?"
"Look out at the sea, a major change is occurring."
"My goodness, that's a tsunami, it's already obscuring the sky."
"Have the sea clan attacked again? They truly are relentless."
"No, look at the image displayed by the celestial eye, that's the work of the merman demigod."
"Demigods are this powerful? They can control such a massive tsunami."
"He now possesses two demigod artifacts."
"What are we going to do? The opponent is a demigod, can we defeat them?"
"Look, Lin Yu's merged clone has gone up."
At this moment.
Lin Yu commanded two merged clones to confront the tsunami.
Their strength had recently been upgraded, and now in their combined form, their energy intensity had undergone a qualitative leap.
In other words, these two merged clones possessed the power of a demigod.
Although not demigods in essence, their strength was comparable to that of a demigod.
The Four-Faced Buddha, with its hundred-meter-tall body, was the first to reach the area beneath the tsunami.
"Grow!"
"Grow!"
With each command of "grow," its body rapidly expanded.
In the blink of an eye, it had grown from a hundred meters to a thousand meters tall. Moreover, the weapons in its eight arms had all transformed into alms bowls.
The alms bowls were enormous, each with a diameter of a hundred meters.
He extended the alms bowls and softly commanded, "Receive!"
Boom!
The eight alms bowls emitted a golden radiance.
Instantly, the tsunami in the sky was subjected to the immense suction force of the alms bowls, transforming into streams of water that surged towards them.
The eight alms bowls became eight bottomless pits, drawing in the seawater from the sky.
This scene was so awe-inspiring, as if eight celestial rivers were flowing across the sky, or as if eight water dragons had been subdued within the alms bowls.
East Sea City, with millions of its inhabitants watching this scene, all displayed expressions of shock.
"Too powerful! Too shocking!"
"It's shaking my whole body."
"How many more trump cards does Lin Yu have?"
Meanwhile, Fu Yao Zi and the others also gazed at the scene in the sky with stunned eyes.
Their hearts were anything but calm, especially Fang Jin, who looked utterly incredulous.
He pointed at the scene in the sky and asked, "What is that Four-Faced Buddha?"
The Controller sighed, "That's Lin Yu's merged clone. That Four-Faced Buddha isn't even as powerful as the Three-Headed, Six-Armed Child."
"This... Unbelievable! Lin Yu has become this powerful!" He was speechless, trembling with shock.
"Not good, that merman demigod is going to counterattack."
