166: The Pride of God
Poseidon, the Sea King, was a decisive person; in fact, the moment Nezha began his attack, he had already donned his Scale Cloth, which was the Saint Cloth exclusive to the Sea Saint Seiya.
Of course, a deity's Saint Cloth was completely different from everyone else's; it was a Saint Cloth of the same Rank as Hades, the Underworld King, and its defense and amplification capabilities could not be underestimated.
His attack methods were varied, primarily focusing on water-based attacks, and combined with his relatively fluid Moves, even Nezha couldn't break through his defensive Domain.
Actually, the main reason for this was that he himself was the God of the Ocean, possessing incredibly powerful water control abilities, while Nezha was Innately fiery; he had several Magic Treasures related to fire, so he was Innately suppressed by Poseidon.
The reason why the two were still at a stalemate was simply because Nezha had seized the initiative in his attack and was several times faster than Poseidon.
However, to defeat him in a short amount of time was truly not easy.
The Third Prince felt incredibly anxious; his Fire Tipped Spear was wielded like a torrential storm, yet it was always difficult to penetrate within a dozen centimeters of Poseidon's body.
All his attacks were blocked by water walls or ice shells that appeared from time to time, while Poseidon seemed determined not to engage him directly.
"Damn it, this guy is trying to wear down my stamina.
If I keep clashing head-on, I'll be the first to fall..."
Nezha frowned slightly, thought of something, and then said no more, instantly increasing the speed of his Wind Fire Wheels, carrying him backward out of the battle.
"?"
Poseidon frowned slightly, "Did he see through my plan and pull away because of it?"
"Hmm, it seems he's preparing some kind of long-range attack?
Haha, how ridiculous, doesn't he know about the Divine-Grade Domain?"
The Fire Tipped Spear in Nezha's hand instantly disappeared, and the Qiankun Bow suddenly appeared in his hand.
He drew the bow and nocked an arrow in one fluid motion, and the Zhentian Arrow transformed into a streak of light, shooting towards Poseidon's heart at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.
Poseidon only had time to blink before the Zhentian Arrow was already before him, and its terrifying power instantly erupted less than five centimeters in front of him, directly sending him flying.
"How is this possible?"
"The Divine-Grade Domain only defended against his attack, but didn't directly rebound it?
This... what exactly is this thing?"
Poseidon suddenly recalled the golden bow and arrow of Sagittarius from back then, and couldn't help but feel horrified.
In his world, whether it was a Saint Seiya or other powerful individuals, or even ordinary deities, trying to attack him was basically impossible.
Besides his own powerful magic and extraordinary defense, it was mostly because he possessed the Divine-Grade Domain.
The so-called Divine-Grade Domain was actually simple to explain; it was like a kind of customary Law.
As a deity, he naturally had the protection of the power of heaven and earth, which could automatically rebound all attacks.
All Magic and Karma could not approach him, just like spitting at the sky, it would only fall back on oneself in the end.
His three brothers all possessed this ability, and the one who understood it most deeply was him, Poseidon, the Sea King.
Therefore, he completely couldn't imagine how an attack could be unreboundable.
Nezha was also somewhat bewildered at this moment, because with the power of the Zhentian Arrow, even a general Divine-Grade immortal would be unable to withstand it with their physical body.
How did this guy defend against it?
The reason was actually very simple: Poseidon was an omnipotent god in their world, and as one of the three main gods, he possessed immense power and will, as well as the most noble status.
However, in terms of his status, upon arriving in this Journey to the West world, he was nothing.
Nezha's strength was great, but at the same time, he was also the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas.
Although the Heavenly Court no longer existed at this moment, his divinity remained, and he was completely protected by the rules of this world.
Therefore, Poseidon mistakenly believed his Divine-Grade Domain was a Law, but the one attacking him was also a god, and in terms of status, the two should actually be considered roughly equal.
So, the Divine-Grade Domain could neutralize a part of the Zhentian Arrow's power, but it couldn't rebound another god's attack.
That was the reason.
Nezha was puzzled, but Poseidon wasn't idle.
The moment he retreated, he suddenly swung the trident in his hand, and countless water droplets suddenly flew out, transforming into countless sharp ice cones in mid-air, raining down on Nezha like an overwhelming deluge.
Nezha scoffed, put away his Qiankun Bow and Zhentian Arrow, and his Wind Fire Wheels flew out from under his feet.
These two wheels spun back and forth, forming a giant fireball composed of the power of wind and fire in mid-air.
The wind fanned the flames, and the fire borrowed the wind's strength, instantly raising the temperature.
The ice cones, as soon as they approached this large fireball, were instantly vaporized and disappeared into the air.
However, when ice was vaporized by fire, it caused a violent reaction, and the only result of this reaction was a large amount of water vapor.
Nezha watched as a thick fog seemed to rise before his eyes, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
Immediately after, he felt danger approaching as dozens of rays of light broke through the dense water vapor, sweeping towards Nezha.
The Third Prince couldn't help but let out a muffled grunt; a radiant ring suddenly appeared in his left hand, and he wrapped it with the Mixed Heaven Ribbon in his right hand.
Then, with a sudden flick, the Universe Ring and Mixed Heaven Ribbon instantly formed another soft weapon, shaking violently in the air, flipping back and forth dozens of times, transforming from one into ten, ten into a hundred, and a hundred into thousands, instantly blocking all of these attacks.
However, that dangerous aura had not completely dissipated.
Nezha only felt his body suddenly bound by some peculiar power the moment he blocked all attacks, completely losing his ability to Move.
Immediately after, the Sea King's trident suddenly appeared behind Nezha, and swiftly pierced into his heart.
Striking and leaving, the Chaos Power instantly invaded Nezha's body.
"Heh heh, boy, it's your honor to die by my trident.
I've never engaged in such close combat with anyone before.
Your strength deserves this honor!"
Poseidon stood behind him, sneering arrogantly.
"Heh heh... Hahahahaha... Nonsense!"
Nezha, with his back to him, burst into hearty laughter, full of Qi.
He suddenly turned his head, looked at the arrogant Sea King, and pouted, saying, "Do you really think your set of attacks can harm me?
Do you know that I don't even have a heart?"
Poseidon was stunned, and couldn't help but frown slightly: "You're really fine?"
"That's impossible; all living beings, no matter how powerful they are like deities, cannot exist without a heart..."
"Alas, the Holy Monk said this is a cultural difference!"
Nezha, with a mature air, folded his arms and scoffed, "You foreign gods coming to this world, don't you even bother to find out who your enemies are?"
Poseidon was stunned, and then felt a rush of wind pressure directly crashing down from above his head.
Boom!
Bang!
A dazed Poseidon quickly dodged, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that slender figure actually burrowing into a boat shaped like a shuttle, disappearing without a trace.
