Chapter 217: Admit Defeat
The Eastern Sea Army's warrior shook his head with a bitter smile.
Facing the highly esteemed Northern Liao King, even speaking felt like having a mountain pressing down upon him, let alone daring to inquire about these matters.
Chen Dao didn't think too much about it, his gaze never strayed from Ye Ling and Ta Niya for a moment.
Under Chen Dao's watchful eye, the two arrived above a vast expanse of the open sea.
"Ye Ling, I hope you won't hold back, I don't want to have any regrets about this battle!"
Ta Niya said solemnly.
Ye Ling nodded slightly, smiling as he said, "Then you make the first move, I'm afraid if I do it first, you won't even have a chance to react before you lose."
"Hmm? Has your strength reached such an extent?"
Ta Niya was taken aback for a moment, but then continued, "However, my current strength is not weak either, so you better be careful."
At those words, Ye Ling revealed an inexplicable smile. Stay updated via My Virtual Library Empire
Even if Ta Niya had now reached the extreme realm of a supernatural being, his strength, after all, was only about the same as that of a War King warrior.
If Ta Niya knew that Ye Ling had just defeated a half-step into the imperial realm powerhouse, it was uncertain what he would think.
"Make your move."
Ye Ling didn't explain further, instead waving his hand towards Ta Niya.
Ta Niya nodded slightly, then began to maneuver the trident in his hands.
As he swung his trident, the hundreds of figures formed from sea water behind him also began to move.
One by one, wielding tridents, they approached Ye Ling, and the sea water beneath their feet started to stir without notice.
Waves sprung from beneath them, washing across the surroundings and causing the previously calm sea surface to ripple.
The hundred figures quickly surrounded Ye Ling.
Yet Ye Ling remained composed, not bothered in the slightest by being encircled.
Seeing this, a serious light flickered in Ta Niya's eyes.
He then once again started to wield his trident, and the hundreds of figures corresponded by brandishing their own tridents.
As the tridents waved continuously, pillars of water shot up towards the sky and converged in the air to form the shapes of water dragons, which then roared as they rushed towards Ye Ling.
Dozens of water dragons with gaping maws closed in on Ye Ling.
As these water dragons were about to land on him, Ye Ling finally made his move.
He swung his right hand, and imperial Gang Qi burst forth, slicing through the air like blades towards the water dragons.
"Ssst! Ssst! Ssst!"
The Gang Qi instantly penetrated the water dragons, severing completely the subtle connection they had with Ta Niya.
The reason supernaturals can control the forces of nature lies in their spiritual power far surpassing that of ordinary humans, enabling them to attach their spiritual energy to the objects of their awakening.
Water supernaturals like Ta Niya imbue their spiritual force onto water, granting it formidable offensive capabilities or even allowing it to take the shape of people or other creatures.
However, in an instant, all the water dragons dissipated, transforming into droplets that returned to the ocean.
Seeing this, Ta Niya's pupils constricted slightly. Clearly, he had not expected Ye Ling's strength to have grown to such an extent that with a mere wave of his hand he could easily shatter his water dragons.
"I underestimated you, Ye Ling!"
"I never imagined that in just a few years, your strength has grown even more!"
Ta Niya declared gravely.
As the sound of his voice faded, the hundreds of figures made of condensed sea water standing on the sea surface immediately sprang into action.
Wielding their tridents, they charged straight toward Ye Ling.
Though the tridents were formed from sea water, they cleaved through the air with whooshing sounds when swung, as if they were real blades.
"Ta Niya, if you want to defeat me, then bring out some real skills,"
"This flashy nonsense can't harm me,"
Ye Ling said with a light chuckle.
Then, with a wave of his hand, an unfathomable aura suddenly engulfed all the hundreds of figures.
The thread of spiritual power within these figures instantly vanished, as they dissolved back into sea water and returned to The Rage of the Great Sea.
Taking a deep breath, Ta Niya said solemnly, "Very well, then let me show you a power I only understood last month!"
After speaking, a strange aura began to surge around Ta Niya.
Unlike the aura of a Martial Artist, the aura emanating from Ta Niya was more mysterious and unpredictable.
Ye Ling too exhibited a hint of interest for the first time, sensing a breath on Ta Niya that was utterly different from other superpower users!
As the Northern Liao King, Ye Ling had naturally seen more than a few superpower users, even those whose strength surpassed that of Ta Niya.
But, strong as they were, none had the kind of aura that Ta Niya was unleashing at that moment.
"The Rage of the Great Sea!"
As Ta Niya's aura peaked, he suddenly shouted.
At the sound, the surface of the sea began to churn, and waves started to form from nowhere, washing rapidly away into the distance.
Behind Ta Niya, however, a wave rapidly swelled, reaching over ten meters high in a mere instant, like a tsunami.
"Ye Ling, this is the power of nature. You Martial Artists cultivate only your own bodies, can you truly contend with the force of nature?"
Ta Niya said gravely.
Ye Ling's eyebrows rose, and he replied with a smile, "Why not try and find out?"
Ta Niya nodded slightly, and the trident in his hands swiftly descended.
The wave behind him surged forward, rushing toward Ye Ling.
Ye Ling slowly raised his right hand, and streaks of Imperial Gang Qi burst forth from within him, quickly forming a wall in front of him that blocked the incoming wave!
"Boom!"
The waves crashed onto the sea surface with a deafening roar.
Ta Niya's assault was far from over, as waves continuously rose and slammed down toward Ye Ling.
At this moment, Ye Ling seemed to be in the midst of a tsunami, like a lone boat in the ocean.
No matter how furiously the surrounding waves raged and roared, they could never truly threaten Ye Ling.
The seemingly fearsome waves that struck at Ye Ling were all repelled by his Imperial Gang Qi, then crashed heavily back onto the sea surface, merging back into the ocean.
The whole process lasted a full ten minutes, and in the end, it was Ta Niya who gasped for breath and said, "Ye Ling, you're simply a monster!"
"Such might is already my limit, and even then, I can't touch you, I'm no match for you!"
Ye Ling withdrew his Imperial Gang Qi and looked at Ta Niya, "Are you admitting defeat?"
"Of course, how can I not concede facing a monster like you?"
Ta Niya said irritably.
