Chapter 1807: Twin Seas
Sea God Mountain.
Lin Qiye had two long blades hanging at his waist, one hand gripping the Trident, and walked slowly toward the mountain peak.
Fine droplets of seawater fell like rain from the sky, soaking his Crimson Cloak. Lin Qiye was completely oblivious, his damp hair hanging over his brows, his eyes as still as a volcano before eruption.
When he stepped onto the final stone stair, a tall figure seated on a golden throne slowly opened his eyes.
"So it's actually your true body... I thought you would send the Seraph to fight me." Poseidon sensed Lin Qiye's Human Apex-level aura fluctuation and looked somewhat surprised, then nodded.
"Right... with Chief God-level power, you cut through the barriers and mountains, then cut open the Golden Bird Cage. That body's strength must be exhausted by now, right?
You don't actually think you can defeat me in this Mythical Killing Formation with just a body that hasn't even stepped into divinity?
How foolish..."
Before Poseidon could finish the last word "fool," a blade light erupted from Lin Qiye's palm!!
Poseidon hadn't expected Lin Qiye to strike so swiftly. His身形 shot sideways, but that blade light seemed to ignore space itself, sweeping past his ear and slicing a line of blood across his cheek!
Only then did a crisp blade ring reach his ears!
The White Slash unsheathed!
Lin Qiye showed no intention of exchanging words with Poseidon. Blade lights flickered continuously from his hand, piercing through Poseidon's afterimages one after another before vanishing into the void.
After dodging several blade lights in succession, Poseidon finally stabilized. He wiped his cheek and saw the crimson on his palm, his expression turning gloomy.
The wound from that strike wasn't deep—the White Slash wasn't a divine artifact, after all, so the damage it dealt was quite limited. However, the sudden ambush had enraged him terribly. He gritted his teeth and spoke coldly:
"Fine... since you're seeking death, I'll oblige you!"
Poseidon let out a roar, and a massive formation spread across the mountain peak. Lin Qiye felt the surrounding scene shift rapidly. When the starlight flickered, the original mountain had vanished.
Lin Qiye looked down. A bizarre crimson ocean churned and surged beneath his feet. The sky churned like ink, stretching all the way to the horizon of the crimson sea.
At this moment, the world seemed to have only black and red.
Lin Qiye frowned. Between the black and red, Poseidon's towering form resembled a giant, inverted in the ink-dark churning sky... His feet planted on the ink-like sky as if standing upon another sea.
Lin Qiye's gaze swept across the black and red. For a moment, he couldn't tell which was the real sea... Or perhaps both were?
"In this Twin Seas, even that old codger Zeus would be trapped for a while... The Crimson Wheel Sea beneath your feet today will be your burial ground!" Poseidon coldly snorted.
No sooner had Poseidon spoken than the Crimson Wheel Sea beneath Lin Qiye's feet shuddered!
Lin Qiye's eyes narrowed. A sense of crisis flooded over him. His body became an afterimage as he rushed sideways.
BOOM—!!
A massive shadow erupted from the depths of the Crimson Wheel Sea with a thunderous roar, directly swallowing the entire sea area where Lin Qiye had stood!
It was a colossal beast formed from crimson seawater. Its mouth alone had a radius of several hundred kilometers. If one counted the part submerged beneath the Crimson Wheel Sea's surface, the total size was at least equivalent to an entire Kunlun mountain range!
After this giant beast swallowed the entire sea area and Lin Qiye's figure, its body visibly began to shrink... In just a few seconds, its volume had reduced by a third. The part above sea level then twisted slightly, like a sea fish, and plunged back beneath the crimson surface.
But before its body could fully submerge, a blade cry rang through the clouds. A black-gold beam swept across heaven and earth, and a deep-red figure burst forth!
The shattered beast's body turned into crimson rain, scattering across the sea surface. Lin Qiye's figure landed back onto the crimson sea, his brow furrowed.
The large fish that had leapt from the Crimson Wheel Sea didn't seem to have any aggressive intent. Even when it had just swallowed him whole, it had barely caused any damage... But he felt something wasn't quite right.
Lin Qiye's peripheral vision fell upon the inverted ink-black sea in the sky, and he suddenly froze.
Poseidon... seemed to have grown taller?
Just as Lin Qiye was contemplating this, the sea beneath his feet churned again!
This time, Lin Qiye was fully prepared. The White Slash at his waist unsheathed, his body vanished into the void as he glided across the sea surface. A mountain-sized crimson fish leapt from the seawater, swallowing the sea area where Lin Qiye had originally been, then visibly shrunk before diving back into the depths...
At the same time, a black sea fish leapt from the inverted Ink Wheel Sea, swallowing the sea-level Poseidon.
This sea fish was tiny in size, nowhere near comparable to the crimson fish that had just swallowed Lin Qiye. But after it swallowed Poseidon's figure, its body grew dramatically!
In just a few seconds, the black sea fish's size tripled. It opened its mouth and spat out Poseidon's figure, who landed steadily. His form was now three times more massive than before!
Seeing this, Lin Qiye's expression shifted slightly... He roughly understood the principle behind this Mythical Formation.
The Crimson Wheel Sea and the Ink Wheel Sea each had two different types of "fish." Fish from the Crimson Wheel Sea would shrink along with whatever creature they swallowed, while fish from the Ink Wheel Sea would enlarge along with their prey...
One side's size constantly shrinking while the other's constantly grew, the difference between them would increase explosively.
If Poseidon had simply been "towering" before Lin Qiye, now he had completely transformed into a "giant" of mountain-like proportions!
If this continued, it would only be a matter of time before he became like Sun Wukong trapped in the Buddha's palm.
Lin Qiye gripped the White Slash, hiding within the void to avoid the crimson fish's bite. His body shot straight up into the clouds. When he reappeared, he had arrived directly before the giant Poseidon!
Poseidon looked down at Lin Qiye, who wasn't even the size of one of his fingers, his eyes filled with mockery. His massive palm swept down horizontally, like a piece of the heavens falling, slamming toward Lin Qiye's face!
Lin Qiye gripped his twin blades. Threads of causal silk drifted out from beneath his Crimson Cloak, drilling into the wound on Poseidon's cheek!
Poseidon's body shuddered violently!
A causality that had never existed was forged from nothing... In a daze, he returned to that rainy night thousands of years ago.
Back then, Olympus had just acquired its divine source. He, Poseidon, was merely a Lesser God with few believers. But somehow, he had offended a terrifying human cultivator.
That human wielded twin blades, draped in a deep crimson cloak, and had chased him over a hundred thousand li. He killed until the entire sea was dyed crimson... During that time, whenever he saw that demon-like face, he felt instinctive terror!
