452: Ascendant Overlord

"Since that's the case, let's make our move!"

The Merfolk Ancestor's voice was indifferent.

Boom—!

Eleven Giants instantly flashed to surround her, then each brought out their Divine Weapons. With their full power, a blinding Divine Light of Dao erupted in an instant.

The power emanating from the Divine Weapons grew more terrifying, space continuously twisted, like terrifying deep-sea undercurrents wildly sweeping and surging. The Void Realm could no longer withstand this terrifying power, and large patches of black cracks began to appear.

The Gui Xu Abyss, vast enough to rival a sprawling Universe, seemed incredibly small under the immense pressure of more than ten Giant powerhouses, as if it would burst open in the next moment.

The Merfolk Ancestor glanced at the countless Merfolk Race citizens kneeling on the ground, then flipped her hand to retrieve a luminous pearl larger than an adult's head, emitting a soft, moon-white glow. From afar, it looked as if a bright moon had appeared in her hand.

Whoosh!

The Merfolk Ancestor directly activated the pearl, which suddenly unleashed a vast expanse of dazzling moon-white light, instantly enveloping all eleven Giants surrounding her.

As the moon-white light rapidly faded, the figures of the Merfolk Ancestor and the eleven Giants had vanished.

Boom! Boom!!

Before the Merfolk had even recovered, they immediately felt terrifying battle fluctuations coming from outside the Gui Xu Abyss.

Wu Ning's gaze pierced through the obstruction of endless space, taking in the grand battle between the Merfolk Ancestor and the eleven Giants.

A grand battle of twelve Giants.

Nearly half of them were top-tier powerhouses in the Giant Realm, jointly battling the Merfolk Ancestor, a supreme Giant.

How terrifying was their battle? The entire Nine Abyss Sea Realm was stirred by them. A casual strike could blast through the deep sea, turning hundreds of millions of miles of sea into nothingness. Large numbers of undersea continents were destroyed, mountain ranges collapsed, and countless living beings were annihilated.

Above the sea, even more monstrous waves swept across the starry sky, swallowing the firmament, tearing the already few stars into pieces, and sweeping them into the vast sea.

The sea roared, the world inverted, the Dao collapsed—a scene of world-ending destruction.

Within the Nine Abyss Sea Realm, countless living beings trembled in fear, feeling a trace of the residual power emanating from the battle.

Many other powerhouses watched their battle from a distance, their expressions filled with horror, frantically fleeing to even more distant places, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.

Powerhouses from several other major sea nations were also observing, their eyes extremely grave. More than ten Giant powerhouses clashing—it had been an unknown amount of time since such a battle had occurred in all the Heavens. Faced with this situation, no one dared to intervene rashly.

Even if their own territories were affected, they could only silently act in defense.

Wu Ning quietly released a trace of power, annihilating most of the residual waves that were falling towards the Gui Xu Abyss.

In fact, at this very moment, the battle had just begun.

Neither the Merfolk Ancestor nor the other eleven Giants were fully unleashing their power; they were still trying to control it.

Otherwise, the entire Nine Abyss Sea Realm might be shattered by them.

Although at their Realm, they could already perfectly control their own power at will, and not a single bit of excess energy would escape from their every move.

But if it truly came down to a critical moment, who would care so much?

"The Ancestor is fighting, we can't just stand by! Everyone, follow me and kill! Let's fight those scoundrels!"

A Merfolk powerhouse roared, flashing to attack the remaining enemies.

Most of the Demon Emperors and Dao Venerable powerhouses from the Sea Monster, Dragon, and other races had been killed by the Merfolk Ancestor, leaving only a handful.

However, there were still many warriors below the Demon Emperor Realm from these races. Facing the Merfolk Race, who had already burned their bridges, they were quickly routed and fled in disarray.

...

Time passed, for an unknown duration.

Above the Nine Abyss deep sea.

The battle abruptly ceased. The Merfolk Ancestor, holding a chillingly gleaming silver ancient sword and with the Innate Supreme Treasure Cang Hai, Bright Moon Pearl hovering above her head, was still surrounded by the eleven Giant powerhouses.

Several of the weaker Giants among them had sustained numerous injuries.

In contrast, the Merfolk Ancestor's Aura was like a rainbow, and her Qi grew more terrifying with each moment of battle.

She was more than ten times stronger than when she first awakened.

Her vast and terrifying Aura made the surrounding Giants change their expressions, their eyes extremely grave.

"What a terrifying Qi! Is she about to Ascend?"

A Sea Rakshasa Giant said in a deep voice.

"What are you still waiting for? Quickly, unleash all your power together! Use all your killing moves and trump cards! We absolutely cannot let her successfully Ascend!"

The Shark-People Giant who had appeared first roared.

Qiu Chi glanced at him, a strange expression flashing in his eyes, seemingly mocking, yet also pitying.

"Continue to attack. This level is far from enough."

An ancient Dragon Giant said profoundly, then took the lead in attacking the Merfolk Ancestor.

The Shark-People Giant and several other weaker Giant powerhouses subtly frowned, a hint of doubt rising in their hearts. They always felt that these old guys were hiding something from them.

They were all old monsters who had lived for countless years; how could they not see that the behavior of these few old guys was a bit strange?

Ostensibly, they were joining forces to kill the Merfolk Ancestor and prevent her from Ascending to Dominator and dominating the entire Nine Abyss Sea Realm.

But in the battle just now, none of the old guys had truly fought seriously; they didn't even show a hint of killing intent.

The few of them remained silent, each growing more wary.

Boom! Boom—!

Soon, the battle resumed.

It was even more terrifying than before, as the old guys also realized they had held back too much earlier and began to unleash their full power.

World-destroying Dao power violently collided, and the unleashed chaotic energy swept across the Universe, the firmament collapsed, the Dao shattered, and hundreds of millions of light-years of Void Realm were blasted apart, like a terrifying giant black hole, threatening to swallow the entire world.

It caused countless living beings to be utterly terrified.

Many powerhouses of considerable strength scrambled to flee outside the Nine Abyss Sea Realm.

Boom! Boom—!

As several ancient Giants frequently unleashed their killing moves.

Gradually, the Merfolk Ancestor began to sustain many hideous and terrifying injuries, and blood quickly stained her robes.

However, her Qi continued to rise, becoming increasingly terrifying.

Several weaker Giants were extremely anxious in their hearts and had already developed a slight intention to retreat.

Boom—!!

At a certain moment, the Merfolk Ancestor's Qi surged to a critical point, shaking violently, and a terrifying force erupted, instantly repelling all the Giants.

"You all want to force me to Ascend, then I shall grant your wish!"

The Merfolk Ancestor's eyes gleamed with Divine Might, her voice like thunder, resounding throughout the entire Nine Abyss Sea Realm.

With those words, she directly closed her eyes.

Hum~~

The Cang Hai, Bright Moon Pearl hovering above her head trembled lightly, instantly emitting an incomparably brilliant moon-white light, then transformed into a streak of flowing light, fiercely merging into her body.
