The Ice and Fire Core was seized as a supreme treasure; the rebellious god crushed the sea god.

Su Chen led the Sisters away from the Spring of Life, following the energy fluctuations of the secret realm's core straight to the deepest part of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well—this was the area with the purest energy in the Star Dou Secret Realm. The extreme collision of ice and lava had birthed the core treasure of the secret realm, the 'Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.'

Upon arriving at the core area, a deep blue light entered their sight: in mid-air at the junction of ice and fire, a palm-sized jade pendant floated, surrounded by faint blue spatial ripples. This was indeed the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, capable of concealing one's presence, controlling seawater, and containing the essence of space.

'That's the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud!' Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up, the phantom of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda flickering behind her. 'With it, our survival and surprise attack capabilities will double!'

Just as the Sisters were about to step forward to take it, a sinister voice suddenly boomed: 'Su Chen! It's you again, you piece of trash who keeps stealing my opportunities! I found the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud first! Get lost!'

Xiao Ling rushed over with Dai Mubai, Oscar, and other Shrek members. A faint golden halo glowed on his Blue Silver Grass, and a weak sacred aura surrounded him—it was the prototype of the newly awakened Sea God Power, which made him mistakenly believe he had the capital to contend with Su Chen.

'Xiao Ling, you really are persistent.' A mocking smile curled on Su Chen's lips as the black-gold God-Defying Power slowly unfolded. 'Since Suotuo City didn't make you realize the gap last time, I'll teach you again: a pawn of the God Realm will never be worthy of a secret realm treasure.'

'Don't be arrogant!' Xiao Ling sneered and activated his Blue Silver Grass, golden vines coiling toward Su Chen like venomous snakes. 'I have already awakened the Sea God Power. Today, I will not only take back the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud but also cripple you to avenge the humiliation from last time!'

'With just this meager bit of Sea God Power?' Su Chen snorted disdainfully and waved his hand. The God-Defying Power instantly tore through the golden Blue Silver Grass. 'Before me, your so-called Sea God Inheritance is nothing but a joke!'

The battle was triggered instantly, and the Sisters cooperated with tacit understanding: Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda shone brightly, pouring nine major buff attributes into Su Chen and the Sisters simultaneously; Ah Yin's Blue Silver Grass vines spread rapidly, forming an airtight defensive net to block the Shrek members' support; Zhu Zhuqing and Hanabi pinned down Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun respectively, preventing them from interfering with the core battlefield.

'Brother Su Chen, don't run around, I'll help you burn his Blue Silver Grass!' Xiao Xun Er's crimson-gold God Defying Phoenix Flame surged, transforming into a small fire dragon that swept toward Xiao Ling's Blue Silver Grass. Everywhere the flames passed, the golden vines were instantly incinerated, leaving not even a trace of ash.

Su Chen turned back and made a heart gesture to Xiao Xun Er, his black-gold figure flashing to appear before Xiao Ling: 'Xun'er is right. Your Blue Silver Grass is no different from common weeds in front of me.' He reached out and accurately grabbed Xiao Ling's wrist, the God-Defying Power surging through the meridians and instantly shattering the prototype of the Sea God Power that had just awakened in his body.

'Poof—' Xiao Ling spat out blood, his face as pale as paper. He looked at Su Chen in disbelief, 'Impossible! How could my Sea God Power be so easily shattered? What kind of monster are you!'

'Monster?' Su Chen chuckled, striking Xiao Ling's chest with a backhand palm and sending him flying. 'I am the Overlord who is about to overturn the God Realm, while you are just a pawn they use for entertainment, disposable at any time.'

Just as Xiao Ling struggled to get up, a hidden weapon hidden in his sleeve suddenly shot out, aiming straight for the back of Su Chen's head. 'Watch out!' Yun Yun's cool voice rang out, and the Wind Sword in her hand instantly unsheathed, a cyan-gold Wind Blade accurately shattering all the Hidden Weapons.

Su Chen turned to look at Yun Yun and teased with a raised eyebrow, 'Yun'er's move was really cool. I'll give you an extra drumstick later.'

Yun Yun's cheeks flushed slightly as she stepped forward with the Wind Sword to stand beside him. 'Don't be cheeky, focus on dealing with him.'

Seeing the sneak attack fail, madness flashed in Xiao Ling's eyes. He wanted to activate the Clear Sky Hammer to fight for his life, but he was enveloped by a faint purple Poison Mist. Xiao Yi Xian ran over carrying her medicine basket, standing beside Su Chen to claim credit: 'Brother Su Chen, I've helped you control him! My Poison Mist can block his spirit power circulation, he can't move now!'

'My Xiao Yi Xian is the best.' Su Chen reached out and rubbed her hair, his tone doting. 'I'll find you better poisonous herbs later to help you further strengthen your Poison Body.'

Xiao Yi Xian's eyes lit up, and she happily hugged Su Chen's arm. 'Thank you, Brother Su Chen!'

At this moment, Xiao Ling was trapped by the Poison Mist, his spirit power circulation sluggish. He could only watch helplessly as Su Chen raised his hand, the black-gold God-Defying Power wrapping around the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and easily taking it into his hand.

'No—! My Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud!' Xiao Ling roared, but he was powerless.

Su Chen toyed with the jade pendant in his hand, walked up to Xiao Ling, and looked down at him: 'Xiao Ling, you think awakening a bit of Sea God Power makes you something special? Let me tell you, your twin spirits and your Sea God Inheritance are all trash in my eyes.' He paused, his tone becoming even colder, 'The next time you dare to snatch my things, it won't be as simple as shattering your Sea God Power—I will turn you into a complete cripple, unable to even be a pawn for the God Realm.'

After saying that, Su Chen stepped on Xiao Ling's chest, pinning him to the ground. The God-Defying Power exerted a slight force, causing him to feel a heart-piercing pain without being fatal—he wanted to keep Xiao Ling alive to give him even more severe humiliation during the subsequent 'trampling of Shrek's dignity.'

'Let's go.' Su Chen put away the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, put his arm around Xiao Yi Xian, and waved to the Sisters.

Yun Yun, Xiao Xun Er, and the others withdrew their moves and followed Su Chen away, leaving behind Xiao Ling and the Shrek members who had been beaten black and blue by Zhu Zhuqing and Hanabi, looking pathetic in the core area of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Walking out of the core area, Ning Rongrong leaned in close to Su Chen, looking curiously at the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud in his hand. 'Brother Su Chen, how do you use this treasure? Can I try it first?'

'Of course.' Su Chen smiled and handed her the jade pendant. 'When we go back to rest, I'll help you refine its essence. Then you can use it to assist with buffs.'

The Sisters walked toward the resting camp, chatting and laughing. The cold winds and heatwaves of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well could not block the smiles on their faces. Obtaining the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud not only brought the team's strength to another level but also deepened the bond between the Sisters—and Xiao Ling's crushing defeat was just a small interlude on their path of plundering the Star Dou Secret Realm. Even more brutal suffering was waiting for him.
