Chapter 209: The Death of the Sea God

"God of Angels, if you don't hurry, I'll kill you together," Bai Yuan's voice rang across the sea without a ripple.

The God of Angels only felt a chill rising from the depths of her heart.

Without any hesitation, she thrust the Angel Holy Sword in her hand toward the severely wounded Sea God, delivering a full-force slash.

The crimson‑gold True Sun Fire erupted, nearly steaming the ocean dry; within a ten‑kilometer radius the Sea God vanished, revealing a cracked seabed.

In the God of Angels' hand, the Angel Holy Sword had turned entirely dark‑gold, and she drove it straight at the Sea God's neck, intending to kill him with a single blow!

"Sea God, since you already know your death is inevitable, why not meekly turn your neck and await death? Give me more time to complete the task assigned to us by the Divine Kings."

The God of Angels raised her sword and, in a gentle voice, urged the Sea God to let go of his attachments and calmly accept death.

"Turn your neck and await death, you fool!" Sea God roared, and the ocean seemed to answer his call; far away, the boiling sea surface suddenly raised tens of thousands of towering waves, each miles high.

Carrying apocalyptic might, he struck toward the "land" within this ocean.

Simultaneously, the blue‑gold light on the Sea God's body flared brilliantly; he seemed to become a blue‑gold star, refusing to retreat and meeting the God of Angels' sword head‑on!

"Boom!"

The blue‑gold and crimson‑gold intertwined and collided in the heavens, the space unable to bear the clash of the two energies, turning into a massive black void.

Yet the God of Angels and the Sea God showed no intention of emerging; only the occasional specks of blue‑gold and crimson‑gold drifting out allowed one to infer that both were unharmed.

They continued to fight to the death within it.

After a dozen seconds, the Sea God was flung out, his only remaining hand turned blackened, as if completely carbonized by the True Sun Fire.

"Die!" the God of Angels thrust her sword and burst from the black rift; behind her, six wings fanned golden flames, warping space, her massive body streaking like a crimson‑gold meteor straight toward the Sea God.

Facing the God of Angels' fierce onslaught, the Sea God's face showed no fear; he seemed to have thought of a way out, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

He simultaneously used the momentum to dash backward, evading the God of Angels' pursuit, and shouted with a laugh, "Bai Yuan, hurry and make the God of Angels stop, or I'll reveal your secret, and then you will be doomed!"

The God of Angels' body froze.

She instantly understood what the Sea God meant.

After grasping it, the God of Angels slowed the holy sword in her hand and couldn't help turning to look toward the direction where Bai Yuan had been.

Only to find that no one was there any longer.

Depriving the God of Angels and the Sea God of any reaction, a flash of cold aura erupted between them; a wholly violet‑blue halberd covered with strange patterns struck directly at the Sea God's forehead.

The Sea God, shocked and angry, could only raise his nearly carbonized hand to block, while fully channeling his divine power and drawing the ocean's energy.

The Sea God shouted angrily, "Bai Yuan! You really want to die..."

The final "?" never spoken was eclipsed by Bai Yuan's half‑step Divine King cultivation and the Heavenly Saint Rift Abyss Halberd, a super‑artifact.

The Sea God's remaining arm, like tofu residue, exploded into black powder; the once‑majestic aura, under this halberd, turned into a sky of blue‑gold divine blood, bone fragments, shredded flesh, and some white matter.

With a single strike of the halberd killing the Sea God, Bai Yuan hesitated not; the Heavenly Saint Rift Abyss Halberd in his hand transformed into a blue‑purple soaring dragon.

In an instant, his figure seemed to cross time and space, arriving before the several‑hundred‑meter‑tall God of Angels; he slammed the Heavenly Saint Rift Abyss Halberd down mercilessly, showing no intention of holding back!

This is not a case of burning bridges after crossing a river.

Because Bai Yuan didn't know the divine realm was already on its way, he was eager for the God of Angels to replace him in negotiating with the otherworldly Divine King, thereby buying time.

However, the Sea God's words just now...

... had already struck Bai Yuan's limit; he could not let it go, for he could comprehend and threaten the God of Angels, his wife, and his disciples.

The God of Angels, panicked, hurriedly said, "Bai Yuan, I still want to live; I would never possibly say it out!"

As the words fell, the God of Angels subconsciously closed her eyes.

"Boom!"

The space exploded.

Bai Yuan's Heavenly Saint Rift Abyss Halberd shattered the space.

The dense fissures, originating from where the Heavenly Saint Rift Abyss Halberd stopped, spread outward, tearing apart all ordinary things in their path.

Yet under a single halberd strike, the God of Angels' beautiful head remained intact; after all, as a deity equivalent to a perfected Nascent Soul, ordinary spatial rifts could no longer harm her.

"You... you won't kill me?" the God of Angels, still not feeling death's arrival, slowly opened her eyes, her golden pupils showing a hint of unease.

Because that toothpick‑sized Heavenly Saint Rift Abyss Halberd rested beside her temple, Bai Yuan could at any moment swing it there and shatter her skull.

Bai Yuan stared at the golden eyes before him, larger than his whole body, and said gravely, "Why don't you speak it out loudly, or choose to fight to the death?"

The God of Angels fell silent.

Because now she understood very clearly.

If her answer now were even a bit wrong, the Heavenly Saint Rift Abyss Halberd would, without hesitation, smash her skull, making her a companion of the Sea God and the Rakshasa God.

The sea fell silent for a while.

The God of Angels said, "I want to live. If I had spoken it out just now, or resisted, to threaten you, I would have met an inevitable death; the Sea God is my cautionary tale."

"So you gamble by handing your life over to me?"

On Bai Yuan's exceptionally handsome face a smile appeared as he said, "Actually, I think it's better if you fight to the death and use that matter to threaten me; at least it won't hand your life directly to me."

Bai Yuan was strikingly handsome, and his smile was beautiful; together they produced a more‑than‑the‑sum‑of‑parts effect, yet this smile made the God of Angels shudder.

Wrong!

He didn't act!

There is still a chance to explain!

The God of Angels hurriedly steadied herself and said, "If I threaten you, I too would be doomed, because you saw that I lack the resolve to fight, just like the Sea God before."

Indeed, the Sea God lacked the resolve to fight, because in the end he actually had a chance to speak that matter out, yet he didn't.

The reason is simple: the Sea God, unlike death, thought of making Bai Yuan wary, then carving out a way to survive.
