Bo Saixi came to the coast, her face grave as she gazed at the horizon where the sky met the sea.

Sea Dragon Douluo, Sea Star Douluo, Sea Ghost Douluo, Sea Illusion Douluo, Sea Witch Douluo, Sea Spear Douluo, and Sea Horse Douluo, the seven of them, attended her.

"High Priest, what exactly is happening?" Sea Witch Douluo asked, gazing at the distance with a hint of worry in her eyes.

Bo Saixi sighed softly, "A great disaster is coming. Check on your hometown afterward; it's likely to be affected as well."

"Disaster?" Sea Witch Douluo was first stunned, then looked at the distance with horror.

On the distant sea, a silver-white line appeared, growing thicker as it approached.

It was a wave, a towering tsunami hundreds of meters high!

"A tsunami? This is Sea God Island, protected by the power of the Sea God. How could such a huge tsunami appear?" Sea Dragon Douluo couldn't help but ask.

"If that tsunami really lands, I'm afraid the entire Sea God Island will be destroyed," Sea Star Douluo said in a low voice.

As the waterline approached, a deafening sound also came, and Sea Dragon Douluo could even feel the trembling of the entire Sea God Island.

Bo Saixi flew towards the sea, her figure graceful and without a trace of dust. A dark red trident brand appeared on her forehead, and a huge humanoid phantom manifested. This was Bo Saixi's martial soul, Sea God!

The phantom gradually shrank, merging with her.

Martial Soul Avatar!

Bo Saixi's face gained a bit of heroism, and a golden trident appeared in her hand. She raised the trident high, and a beam of light came from the Sea God Hall, with strands of divine power mixed into her soul power.

Then, a deep blue domain spread around her as the center.

Sea God Domain!

Bo Saixi took a deep breath and slowly waved the trident, using it to outline a circle in the void.

This circle was particularly difficult to draw, and sweat was already flowing from her temples when it was completed.

Sea God Thirteen Styles First Form: Immovable Storm!

In that instant, the entire sea seemed to be frozen. The hundreds of meters high wave gradually shortened and eventually disappeared. The waters around Sea God Island returned to calm.

"As expected of Lord Bo Saixi, to be able to quell such a disaster," Sea Witch Douluo said with admiration.

"Don't relax. Strengthen the guard recently. This may not be a natural disaster, but a man-made one," Bo Saixi turned and flew towards the Sea God Temple.

"Man-made?"

The seven Holy Pillar Guardians looked at each other, seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

......

On the 'Oro Jackson,' Tang San's face changed, and he rushed to the deck. He saw 'Klein' and 'Gehrman' both staring solemnly ahead.

"What happened?"

Before the two could answer, he noticed the silver-white line surging from the horizon.

"This is… a tsunami?" Tang San's face changed drastically, and he asked, "What should we do at this time?"

Behind him, a sailor calmly poured a few mouthfuls of wine into his mouth and replied, "Wait for death."

Tang San was stunned and couldn't help but ask, "Isn't there any way to deal with it?"

The sailor shook his head, "There's no way to deal with this kind of giant wave. The captain should be able to survive, but we're doomed."

The others from Shrek also ran out. Oscar had already distributed the Flying Mushroom Sausages to Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong.

Ma Hongjun, Bai Chenxiang, and Tang San himself could fly, so they didn't need it.

"You guys fly up first. I'll try to help the crew escape," Tang San said, turning back to them.

Tang San concentrated his mental power towards his brow and tried to unfold the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.

A triangular object flew out from his brow, emitting a blue light. The blue curtain enveloped the entire ship, and the ship began to sink to the bottom of the sea.

"It worked," Tang San said with a hint of joy on his face.

The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud perfectly helped the 'Oro Jackson' avoid the wave.

But soon, they discovered another problem. The ship was still sinking continuously. There was no water within the range of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, and the ship could not move forward.

"Klein" immediately said, "Shrink the barrier, exposing the bottom of the ship."

Tang San understood what he meant and controlled the blue curtain to slowly shrink. The seawater reconnected with the bottom of the ship, lifting the ship up and returning it to the surface.

Ma Hongjun landed on the deck, looking at the past wave with lingering fear and said, "Is the sea so dangerous? This kind of giant wave comes as it pleases."

"Klein" shook his head, "This is an accident. The sea is indeed fickle, but this is the first time I've encountered this kind of situation."

The sea was undulating, and the ship was constantly rising and falling, but without the initial giant wave, these were all within the 'Oro Jackson's' tolerance.

......

In the Demon Whale Sea Area, a huge Crimson Lotus Serpent floated the unconscious Deep Sea Demon Whale King to the surface.

"Amon, Amon… I fished it out. It's not dead, there's still a breath left," Yan Jin excitedly said to Amon, who was standing quietly on the sea.

"Well done," Amon nodded with a smile.

He raised his right hand, stroked his monocle, and then, starlight flickered, and one after another brilliant light lit up on the monocle, sinking into the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's body.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King suddenly widened his eyes, and he tried his best to struggle, but he was restrained by the Crimson Lotus Serpent's body and could not move.

As time passed, his eyes began to become dull, and finally blank. The huge eyes slowly closed, and when they opened again, they had regained their agility, except that there was a circle of white around the eyes.

Amon's monocle bloomed with emerald green color, and the brilliance flowed, enveloping the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's huge body.

The wounds on his body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, internal organs, bones, muscles, skin… When the light faded, his body had recovered as before, except that his aura was weakened, almost no different from before the battle.

......

Two days later, the anomaly caused by the meteorite falling into the sea finally subsided slowly. After calibrating its position, the 'Oro Jackson' continued to advance towards Sea God Island.

Tang San, who was cultivating in the cabin, suddenly felt a little cold. He walked out of the room and came to the ship's rail. Staring at the deep sea in the distance, he felt uneasy in his heart.

The light in his left hand flashed, summoning the Clear Sky Hammer. At this moment, the Asura Domain engraved on the Clear Sky Hammer was emitting a white halo, and the cold aura emanating from it brought Tang San a strong sense of crisis.

This was the Asura Domain warning him. He suddenly turned around and strode towards the ship's control room.

As he walked, he smelled a bloody smell, his expression changed drastically, and he quickened his pace.

Blood flowed out from under the door of the control room. Tang San kicked the door open and saw a scene that puzzled him.

The helmsman's body fell to the ground, covered in blood. 'Klein' faced the bow, his eyes scattered. An arm pierced through his chest from his back, taking out his heart.

It was 'Gehrman'!

He killed 'Klein'!

Looking at 'Gehrman's' cold and resolute face, with an unconcealable madness and killing intent in his eyes, Tang San's first thought was that 'Klein' had a problem.

Tang San had communicated with 'Gehrman' since the City of Slaughter, and Tang San had a basic trust in him. In this case, he would of course first suspect 'Klein', whom he had only known for a short time and who had many doubts himself.

But just as he was about to speak, he found that 'Gehrman' turned his head and looked over, the coldness on his face was different from the usual indifference, but a kind of coldness when facing an enemy.

Tang San couldn't help but feel a little wary and asked with a frown, "What happened? Why did you kill him?"

"Gehrman" pulled out his arm that pierced through 'Klein's' chest and said coldly, "I saw Amon in Hanhai City."

Tang San's pupils shrank, and he took two steps back slowly, realizing that things seemed to be developing in a bad direction. The problem might not be 'Klein', but 'Gehrman'!

"Gehrman" continued, "You overlooked one point. Jacob and I are both members of the Amon family… Our differences lie in our philosophy, our path, our methods and means…"

"But Jacob has proven that after he becomes 'Amon', the family will usher in new glory. The name of Amon will shine again…"

Tang San asked, "Aren't you worried that the Amon family will be too prosperous, again attracting God's descent and being sanctioned by the gods?"

"Gehrman" showed a rampant smile on his face, "If you can have infinite glory, who would be willing to endure the darkness? Gods? Every member of the Amon family hates Them… Jacob, no, Amon showed me his planned path to godhood, and I was persuaded.

"He gave me a reason I couldn't refuse… This is the most feasible and closest time for our family to escape from the curse of the gods. I am willing to gamble with him."

Tang San took a deep breath and finally accepted this fact: "So you betrayed us? And joined Amon?"

"Betrayal? It's not really, it's just the end of our cooperative relationship," "Gehrman" responded.

Tang San asked in a low voice, "There's one thing I don't understand. Since Amon once appeared in Hanhai City, why didn't you attack us then? If the two of you joined forces, we wouldn't be able to escape, right?"

"Solve the troubles you cause yourself… Amon has no time to worry about you little shrimps, and I don't allow others to interfere in my affairs."

"Gehrman" gave a smile, showing a confident look, and explained:

"In Hanhai City, I didn't attack because I was worried that you would run away separately… After the miracle of 'resurrection' in the City of Slaughter, my strength has dropped significantly, and I don't have 100% confidence in wiping you out in one fell swoop…"

"I originally thought of attacking at sea, but the captain you chose is a bit strong. If all of you join forces, I may not be able to win."

"Later, you demonstrated the ability of that Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, which made me even less confident… That is simply a divine artifact on the sea, and I didn't expect it to have such a function."

"So, I decided to use other ways to get rid of you…"

"Other ways?" Tang San repeated these words, and a bad premonition emerged in his heart.

"Gehrman" pressed the top hat on his head with his bloody palm:

"Klein should have told you that sea spirit beasts have territories… Generally speaking, they rarely actively attack human ships, unless they think they are threatened or provoked… Have you heard of the Demon Whale Sea Area?"
