Each of the twelve sword shadows had 80% of the attack power of the original sword shadow. Once locked on, the opponent would be unable to escape.
Chen Xin had once used this technique to instantly kill a Titled Douluo.
Chen Xin's spirit skill came from a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, while Ye Feng's spirit skill came from a million-year spirit ring.
Boom—
The sky trembled.
A destructive force descended from above, not only shattering Sea Spear Douluo's Nanook Spear, but the aftershock even split the waters of the Ring Sea in half, exposing the seabed sand below.
"Stop."
Seeing that Sea Spear Douluo was about to be cut in half by Ye Feng's sword, the power of the sea gathered in front of him, forming a blue shield that enveloped Sea Spear Douluo.
Boom—
Thirteen thunderclaps rang out in succession. The main sword and the twelve sword shadows were all stopped by the protective shield.
"The High Priest…"
Sea Spear Douluo blurted out.
He knew that the person who had just rescued him was Bo Sanxi, the High Priestess of the Sea God. If Bo Sanxi hadn't acted in time, even if he hadn't died, he would've been seriously injured.
"You lost," Ye Feng said calmly.
"Yes, you win," Sea Spear Douluo responded, admitting defeat.
As Sea Spear Douluo finished speaking, a voice rang out in Ye Feng's mind:
"Conquered the guardian of the Sea Spear Holy Pillar on Sea God Island. Creator God Affinity increased by 8%. Current total affinity: 46%."
"Forty-six percent… only four more to go. Then I can use the power of the Creator God."
Ye Feng sent a spiritual message in the direction of Sea God Island. "Senior, you interfered in our battle."
"Sea Spear is the guardian of the Sea Spear Holy Pillar. He cannot die before the next guardian appears," Bo Sanxi's voice echoed back.
"Oh, but you interfering in our fight is an indisputable fact." Ye Feng smiled, still speaking mentally to Bo Sanxi. "Senior, how about this? Do me a favor, and I'll forgive you."
"Forgive?"
"Yes. Senior, please summon the remaining five guardians of the Holy Pillars to gather. That'll save me the trouble of challenging them one by one."
"You want to challenge five at once?"
"Correct."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure."
"Very well. Head to the Sea Fantasy Holy Pillar. I'll have the other guardians wait for you there."
"Thank you, senior."
Ye Feng grinned and pushed off with his toes. Ten minutes later, he arrived at the perimeter of the Sea Fantasy Holy Pillar.
Unlike the Sea Spear and Seahorse Holy Pillars, which had distinct forms, the Sea Fantasy Holy Pillar was peculiarly abstract.
An illusory blue light floated in the center of the sea, its faint glow spreading across the surface like mist. Under the influence of this blue haze, the actual form of the Sea Fantasy Holy Pillar could not be clearly seen.
"Be careful, Master. Sea Fantasy Douluo is a Titled Douluo even Sea Dragon Douluo doesn't want to fight," Xiaobai warned.
"Understood," Ye Feng nodded. His figure glided forward like a drifting leaf.
As Ye Feng entered the blue fog, he closed his eyes briefly before reopening them with confidence. Eight golden spirit rings and one red spirit ring appeared under his feet.
Eye of Hell: Hell Domain
Donglong—
The surrounding smoke and mist dispersed. The Holy Pillar at the center of the sea was revealed, and five people stood beneath it, their gazes vacant.
Half an hour later, four of them returned to their senses. Only one man—handsome, about fifty years old, with a blank expression—remained stunned.
The man wore a black robe, and a snake-like band of light floated around his body. It was clearly his martial spirit—something strange and elusive.
"What an odd mental attack," said Sea Star Douluo, a man with hair twice as long as Xiao Wu's, staring at Ye Feng in shock.
"Indeed… we almost didn't make it back," a woman in black murmured, clutching her chest as she looked toward Fantasy Douluo. "He's one of the Seven Monsters and specialized in illusions. But we broke free while he's still inside. Why?"
"There's only one explanation—he went easy on us," Star Douluo's expression turned solemn. The previous contempt on his face vanished entirely.
"He's bleeding…"
As time passed, blood began trickling from Fantasy Douluo's seven orifices.
At that moment, Ye Feng moved his mind. Fantase's eyes lit up, and he opened his mouth, coughing out a large mouthful of blood.
Phew—
Fantasy Douluo gasped, pale and shaky, staring at Ye Feng with disbelief.
"A hundred-thousand-year spirit ring. A golden spirit ring!"
Fantasy Douluo was stunned.
Ye Feng stood calmly, nine spirit rings beneath his feet—eight golden and one red.
"You lost," Ye Feng said flatly.
"Yes, I lost… but I don't understand. How did you defeat me?" Fantasy Douluo stared at Ye Feng, desperate for answers.
"Any illusion simply manipulates the opponent's five senses—sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch—and even the sixth: spiritual awareness. Your illusion is indeed powerful. But to affect me, it must attack one of these senses."
"So, from the moment I entered the fog, I knew you'd try to pull me into an illusion. That's why I took the initiative."
Ye Feng's eyes glinted. "My third martial spirit, the Eye of Hell, is purely mental in nature. When you tried to trap me in your illusion and met my gaze inside the smoke, you were instantly hit by my mental attack."
"That's it?" Fantasy Douluo blinked, dumbfounded.
"That's it," Ye Feng nodded simply.
Fantasy Douluo stared into Ye Feng's crimson eyes and couldn't help but admire the man's sharp mind.
"You win. I lose. I won't interfere in your next battle," Fantasy Douluo said, stepping back.
"Conquered the guardian of the Sea Fantasy Holy Pillar on Sea God Island. Creator God Affinity increased by 8%. Current total: 54%."
"I finally broke through 50%."
Joy flashed across Ye Feng's face. As the voice in his mind faded, he felt his connection with the elements change. Everything between heaven and earth now seemed within his grasp, as if he could borrow nature's power with just a thought.
Though he had reached 54% affinity with the Creator God, that still wasn't enough.
Ye Feng glanced at the remaining four Titled Douluos under the Sea Fantasy Holy Pillar—a woman and three men. With a confident smile, he said:
"You four, come at me together."
"Alright," Star Douluo responded.
Even Sea Dragon Douluo, who had looked down on Ye Feng before, now stood serious and respectful. Ye Feng had defeated Sea Fantasy Douluo in a single encounter—and none of them had even noticed. Such combat power demanded attention.
