"Come on, Gangxin! For the life of your comrades you’ve fought alongside, challenge me!

"Fight me to the last moment, and let me personally take your head!"

The Prince of the Sea, Nabo Gang, spread his arms and shouted loudly, the fluctuations of his thought sense accompanied by powerful spiritual power resonating throughout the battlefield.

Seeing Gangxin not appear immediately, Nabo Gang’s golden octopus pupils rotated as he followed with a threat.

"Gangxin, don’t think the Primordial Sea only has the power to confine.

"My Primordial Sea has fused with the Mystical Art of ’Dissolution.’ Enemies trapped within will be slowly dissolved, ultimately becoming part of the Primordial Sea.

"If you don’t show up, they won’t last long!"

...

"The Prince of the Sea, Nabo Gang, is using the Divine Lady and Blood Spider as hostages to force me into battle with him?"

Bai Pu, who led the Pompey City Guard and arrived late, heard Nabo Gang’s voice, and his eyes narrowed sharply.

Initially preoccupied with other important matters, he wasn’t present on the Chaotic Stone Beach battlefield.

However, Rooster, who was lurking on the battlefield’s edge OB, was constantly exchanging information with Bai Pu, describing the happenings on the battlefield.

Bai Pu also learned about the death of Drunken Flower Forest. Including Cyan Vault, two squad leaders of the Huaxia Battle Group had already perished at the hands of the Sea Race powerhouses.

Without even a moment of mourning for Drunken Flower Forest, Bai Pu rushed straight to the battlefield.

However, he didn’t act rashly; instead, he calmly deliberated and came up with three conclusions.

"First, Nabo Gang likely received a similar task as mine... a task requiring my death. Like the Major General’s trial, the target can’t escape and must be ’killed’ to complete it."

"Second, prior to my death, the Divine Lady and Blood Spider won’t die. If they were to die, Nabo Gang would lose his leverage over me and couldn’t ensure I’d fight to the last moment."

"Third, I must destroy the Sea of Primordial Barrier constructed by Nabo Gang’s Reversing Dharma Bead and rescue the Divine Lady and Blood Spider. Only then can I choose to fight on my terms or leave. Otherwise, dying on an enemy’s chosen battlefield is too passive."

Bai Pu, once clear in his thoughts, didn’t hesitate for a second and went for a big move!

Title: Celestial Descent activated.

Talent Skill: Pure Blood Protection, bestowed.

Talent Skill: Genetic Fragment, fused!

Doomsday Blade Short Spear and Savior’s Hand Guarding Staff clicked together, forming a long spear ten feet long—Doomsday!

The two became one, and Bai Pu’s attack strength surged by 120 points.

From the perspective of pure energy, Bai Pu’s Prismatic Demon Fighting Qi’s purity at this moment directly matched that of Garrison’s Headmaster—Bosh!

Bai Pu assembled the long spear solely to maximize attack strength.

He brushed a dark gold Tower Shield from the Immortal King’s Iron Waist Guard.

Immediately, Bai Pu hurled it out with a whistle.

Helical Throw - Desperate Gamble!

The Dark Gold Tower Shield, now evolved from absorbing a large amount of unowned artifact spirit consciousness from Prince Gaton’s body, appeared.

The Dark Gold Tower Shield struck the Jade Wave Water Prison with a loud bang.

With such ferocious projection power, capable of splitting stone and cracking rock, the seemingly fragile Jade Wave Water Prison should have shattered like a bubble.

Yet when the Dark Gold Tower Shield hit the water prison, the Reversing Dharma Bead spun above it!

Blue light shimmered, wave illusions surged one after the other, dissolving the Tower Shield’s wild power.

The Reversing Dharma Bead’s rotation speed increased, accompanied by a slight tremor, emitting a shrill whistling sound!

The Prince of the Sea, Nabo Gang, narrowed his golden pupils slightly and raised his hand, sending a stream of pure magic power into the Reversing Dharma Bead.

Finally, the Reversing Dharma Bead calmed down, completely nullifying Bai Pu’s long-prepared throw attack.

The Dark Gold Tower Shield’s power dissipated, and it fell to the ground with a clatter.

"You do have some skills, but... you’re far from breaking the Reversing Dharma Bead."

Nabo Gang the Prince smiled and said, "After all, the Reversing Dharma Bead... is also a King-level Purple Weapon!"

His golden pupils locked onto the direction of the attack—Bai Pu.

Bai Pu "heard" Nabo Gang’s words but was not moved.

It’s not surprising that a single-digit-ranked Prince of the Sea possesses a King-level Purple Weapon.

"You’re using your Reversing Dharma Bead to maintain the Sea of Primordial Barrier."

Bai Pu pointed out the opponent’s flaw, "When fighting me, you can’t use it! Unless you dismantle the Sea of Primordial Barrier, which would mean I’d easily rescue the hostages!

"As long as I rescue the hostages, I can leave this Plane World."

Bai Pu guessed that Nabo Gang likely received an important task to kill him.

In truth, Bai Pu couldn’t leave either, as he too had a task to kill Nabo Gang—but this didn’t stop him from sending a smoke screen to confuse Prince Nabo Gang about his intentions.

"Hehe, interesting."

Nabo Gang lightly clapped, "An indigenous native from a mere backward planet dares to speak to me like this. It seems Gaton’s death has given you a lot of confidence.

"Now... let me show you the huge gap between No.9 and No.47!"

Nabo Gang suddenly raised his hand, and boundless ocean illusions reappeared.

This time, the ocean illusion enveloped both Nabo Gang and Bai Pu.

In an instant, Bai Pu’s ears were filled with silence on the battlefield.

As if someone pressed the mute button, the surrounding sounds of battle completely disappeared, leaving only silence.

Bai Pu and Nabo Gang, along with their circular battlefield, seemed to be enveloped by a huge transparent glass cover.

All others who were originally in this circular area were pushed and ejected by the wave-like force.

Nabo Gang had used an incomprehensible magical means to create an open battleground for a one-on-one confrontation!

As Bai Pu looked around, the battles of others appeared blurred, as if through frosted glass, indistinct and unclear.

The team channel transmitted an urgent message from Rooster:

"Lord Gangxin, Si Snake is launching a long-range sniping attempt from outside, trying to break this transparent membrane, but the attack has no effect, the bullets enter like they’re hitting the ocean, leaving no trace."

"Understood."

Bai Pu quickly replied, "Don’t worry about me, support the others..." He ended the communication and faced Prince Nabo Gang directly.

In the open battlefield about a kilometer in diameter, only Bai Pu and Nabo Gang faced each other at a distance.

Above Nabo Gang’s head, the Reversing Dharma Bead floated, with the Jade Wave Water Prison, a diameter of ten feet, imprisoning the Wushan Divine Lady and Blood Spider.

The two Divine Ladies couldn’t see the external situation, and they were still struggling in the endless deep sea.

"Are you satisfied with this gladiatorial arena, Gangxin?"

Nabo Gang’s voice rang out, tinged with self-assurance, "Now, the people outside cannot interfere with us unless someone cultivates to the level of a True Intent Prototype."
