Chapter 385: Vatler? Cain?

"This is the power I have dreamed of!" Vatler felt the power swelling crazily within him and could not help but laugh loudly.

A terrifying power surged into the sky, causing the entire sky to turn gloomy. At the same time, in three different places, three people looked up simultaneously, gazing in the direction of Itogami Island.

"This aura, could it be? Cain?!"

"Damn it, how could this guy Cain appear again?"

"Cain, is it? That direction is Itogami Island, right? It seems some interesting things are happening!"

By the seaside, Nangong Nayue was also greatly shocked: "What exactly is this terrifying aura?"

"It is nine times out of ten the power of Cain. Yuejiang, now is not the time to be dazed; we must act quickly!" Liuli said to Nangong Nayue.

"Act?" Nangong Nayue asked.

"The aftermath of a battle at this level can cause terrifying destruction to Itogami Island," Liuli said. "What we need to do now is protect Itogami Island well."

"Then what about you?" Nangong Nayue looked at the motionless Liuli.

"Me? I am ready to join the battle at any time. By the way, this was left for you by Lingyun." Liuli handed a jade pendant to Nangong Nayue.

Nangong Nayue took the jade pendant, gave Liuli a deep look, and then deployed a Space Array to leave this place.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Countless water pillars surged into the sky, and the sea surface was stirred into turbulent waves by the immense magic power. Vatler was wrapped in a flow of purple-black magic power, exuding a powerful oppressive force.

Lingyun stood quietly on the sea surface. Within a three-zhang radius centered on his body, however, it was calm and tranquil, with no ripples. No matter how large the waves were, they would vanish into nothingness once they reached three zhang in front of Lingyun.

"Hahahaha, this is the power I wanted." Vatler wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his whole body exuding a sinister aura. Having shed the mask of the pretentious, ironic strategist, the aristocrat of the "War King Domain" revealed his true colors; this cold-blooded ruthlessness and brutality were his true nature.

"Is that so? Is this the power you wanted?" Lingyun said coldly. "Then, are you Vatler, or are you Cain right now?"

Lingyun's words made Vatler pause, but he quickly reacted: "Whether I am Vatler or Cain right now, that is not important! The most important thing is that now is the time for me to fight you!"

Eight familiars appeared behind him once again, and a terrifying momentum erupted, forcibly pressing the nearby sea surface down by several meters. This terrifying momentum even suppressed the Three Phantom Gods for a moment.

"Perhaps for a guy like you, this matter really isn't important!" Lingyun said lightly, while his Source Power boiled crazily, and lights of different colors rose simultaneously from the Three Phantom Gods.

"Boom!" Eleven different familiars collided fiercely, and the terrifying fluctuations instantly stirred up huge waves, forming a terrifying tsunami.

Not far away, Ocean Tomb II let out a mournful cry, and then, under these terrifying waves, it was directly overturned and sank into the sea.

Subsequently, the powerful tsunami roared toward the direction of Itogami Island. If a tsunami of this magnitude were to strike Itogami Island, it would definitely cause devastating damage to the area of Itogami Island that took the direct impact.

"Hum, hum, hum, hum." Just as the devastating tsunami approached Itogami Island, four pillars of light of different colors suddenly rose from Itogami Island. Nangong Nayue, Ashtarte, Luo Yexi, and Yese Xiayin stood at the Array Eyes in four different areas of Itogami Island, exerting their full strength to drive the array.

This array was one that Lingyun had asked Nina to carve at various key points when repairing Itogami Island, and it finally came in handy at this moment.

An invisible barrier rose around Itogami Island, enveloping the entire island. The huge tsunami rushed head-on and slammed heavily into the barrier, emitting a violent roar, but it could not shake the barrier in the slightest.

"Hahahaha, this is the battle I wanted!" Vatler laughed loudly, his figure flying backward, and a trace of blood spilled from his mouth.

Lingyun also took a few steps back, his face slightly pale.

"Boom—" The Giant God Soldier punched a snake-shaped familiar away, but was itself knocked staggering by another familiar.

A familiar opened its mouth and bit the wing of the Winged Dragon of Ra, but was immediately forced to open its mouth by the burning of the terrifying Sun Fire.

The Sky Dragon flew in the sky, countless Thunder bolts spitting from its mouth, crazily bombarding the familiars below, but at the same time, it was also attacked by the familiars below from time to time.

A full eleven familiars were fighting crazily on the sea surface, turning this sea area upside down.

A sharp glint flashed in Lingyun's eyes as he rushed toward Vatler. In his hands, immense Source Power gathered continuously, turning into streaks of Light Sword that shot toward Vatler.

After absorbing Cain's power, Vatler's own combat power had also increased significantly. Countless magic power surged around him, turning into magic light bullets that covered the direction of Lingyun.

The Light Sword and light bullets bombarded each other, stirring up pillars of water on the sea surface. Lingyun stomped his right foot on the surface, and his figure instantly turned into an afterimage, streaking toward Vatler. Vatler's pupils constricted, and the magic flow around him began to shrink, turning into a barrier.

"Bang—" Lingyun punched the barrier heavily, and the sea area under their feet sank into a large crater under the powerful pressure.

But this time, the barrier around Vatler was unexpectedly tenacious; not only did it not shatter under Lingyun's strike, but it even withstood all the vibrational force contained in Lingyun's blow.

"It seems your turtle shell has finally been upgraded!" Lingyun used the counter-shock force to spring backward, then turned his right hand into a blade and slashed downward.

A sharp sword light swept out from his palm, slashing heavily onto the barrier, tearing it in two from top to bottom. However, Vatler had already taken this opportunity to escape Lingyun's attack range.

"To think that in this world, there actually exists an expert like you!" The tone of Vatler, who had avoided Lingyun's attack, suddenly became strange.

Lingyun raised an eyebrow: "Are you Cain?"

Vatler nodded slightly, but this state was quickly suppressed. Countless magic missiles appeared around him again, bombarding toward Lingyun.

"Tch, this guy, he can actually temporarily suppress Cain's residual consciousness." Lingyun clicked his tongue, his figure changing continuously, dodging the sky-filling attacks.

Amidst a violent roar, the last snake-shaped familiar crashed heavily onto the sea surface. The battle of the familiars had come to an end; the Three Phantom Gods had once again successfully defeated Vatler's familiars. However, they were not doing well either, and it looked like they had suffered no light injuries.

"Interesting, Lingyun. Let me see more beautiful battles—'Primordial Serpent'..." Under these circumstances, Vatler finally summoned his last familiar.

It was a tree so huge it reached the sky. If the World Tree existed in reality, this tree was infinitely close to that concept. However, the roots of the tree piercing the earth were composed of writhing snake tails, the trunk was a coiled snake body, and the huge branches were nine-headed snakes. The nine snake familiars combined to transform into a snake "tree" with a total length of several hundred meters. The vast snake roots and snake branches completely surrounded the sea surface around the two, like a snake Barrier.

"Truly powerful magic power; it actually forcibly suppressed the Three Phantom Gods!" Looking at the huge tree in front of him, he frowned slightly. At this moment, Vatler had clearly stepped into the realm of a True Ancestor.

Facing the huge Snake Tree, the Three Phantom Gods were also very stifled. They were genuine gods, but because of Lingyun's own reasons, they could not exert their full strength. Now, a single Hydra dared to show off in front of them, which was truly unbearable for them.

"Four Symbols Array, activate!" Lingyun formed seals with both hands, and the light shield on Itogami Island changed instantly. The four pillars of light that had shot into the sky twisted, and then the four holy beasts—Blue Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise—appeared simultaneously above Itogami Island. At the same time, the figure of the Yellow Dragon slowly appeared behind Lingyun.

The Dragon Vein power of Itogami Island flowed into Lingyun's body through the Four Symbols Array. The power on Lingyun's body began to swell crazily, and at the same time, it broke through that thin membrane, also rising to the True Ancestor level of this world.

Two forces at the True Ancestor level collided on the sea surface, immediately plunging this sea area into chaos.
