Crime Prison Island

"Come on, now you qualify to duel me to the death."

"Show me what you're capable of."

"I've been waiting for this day for a long time."

Caesar and Gao Xin are ready to engage at the slightest disagreement. His gaze at this moment is like a lion that hasn't eaten meat for a long time, full of rage.

He's been wanting to fight Gao Xin for a long time, even without the incident involving Shelly, he's always been waiting for a strong opponent.

Someone who can reach the heights of him and Milan, a rival who can push him to the brink.

He wants to break through, this desire has been stirring in his heart for a very long time.

Only the matter of resurrecting Shelly held him back, making him cautious of offending Gao Xin.

But having not consumed Fulu Particles for a long time, he became uncontrollable and restless.

The words of Bodhluo and others finally compelled him to act.

On one hand, he couldn't wait to force Gao Xin to breakthrough and revive Shelly.

On the other hand, he also longed to break through, and fiercely battle with a truly immense opponent.

Gao Xin was able to defeat the Sea King and possesses the Sea God Transformation, this strength should be about right.

"Today either you Dragon Transform and resurrect Shelly."

"Or... be slain by my blade."

Caesar swooped down from the sky.

Seeing this, Gao Xin fused his Titan Body, which had been damaged by the nuclear explosion, with the remaining half of the Shura Giant Statue.

Instantly, his upper body with Three Heads and Six Arms, tightened in greenish-black, filled with explosive power.

At the waist is the throne's base, burning with flames, while the lower body stands like a Titan, enwrapped in waves and steam clouds.

His entire form instantly became a thousand meters tall, majestic and grand, equal to Caesar.

"Boom!"

With just one collision, a violent shockwave exploded the surrounding air into a visible cloud wall, thick and glowing.

Caesar's diving momentum was abruptly stopped, as the two exchanged blows, Demon Blade clashing.

Between their sword lights erupted a fierce blaze, high-temperature ion clouds surged, in vibrant purples and reds.

"Tyrant·War Wings!"

Caesar also transformed rapidly, with a grim exoskeleton covering his body.

Magic blades grew at the joints, spikes soared to the sky, and blade-like bone wings spread wide behind him.

His robust Golden Battle Body did not cover his surface but flowed over the energy erupting from the surface.

Turning him into a black armored Evil Dragon, emitting golden surge flames.

This is one of his most common warfare forms, and the reason he was once called Evil Dragon.

At this moment, he used all methods of eruption, operating every module at peak power, displaying the might of a T0 Quasi-Dragon King.

"Demon Blade Dragon Slayer!"

He opened his mouth and swallowed, the massive Evil Dragon Dharma Body engulfed the Demon Blade.

Instantly, he furiously collided with Gao Xin, battling at close range.

And a terrifying blade-shaped energy absorption field, two hundred and fifty meters long, burst forth from his body.

This surprisingly was akin to Godbro's invention, merging man and blade, with a striking similarity.

Even more practiced, the Demon Blade moved within the body, emitting sword lights from all places, dancing with the fight, sword lights extended and retracted naturally, slicing with chilling light, occasionally absorbing energy, the sword skills were nearly unparalleled.

"You're the strongest in blade skills I've ever seen..." Gao Xin had to acknowledge Caesar's mastery of the Demon Blade.

This was incredibly close to himself, showing Caesar indeed was the closest on the island to himself and Cangyue's true form in affinity and application of the Demon Blade.

The energy absorption function and sword light capability of the Demon Blade had already been fully integrated, reaching the Realm of Refinement.

Attaining the point where it moved at will, instinctively driven.

He even mastered a technique so the Demon Blade wouldn't harm him, moving freely within the body, neither the energy nor the absorption field causing any negative impact on Caesar's body.

This is simply outrageous, knowing even Gao Xin couldn't achieve this, Godbro's merge of man and blade was a self-harming maneuver.

Whereas Caesar truly achieved the fusion of man and blade.

Indeed, the only person surpassing Milan's domain, the number one with the Demon Blade on the island, Gao Xin was bewildered, how was this possible?

"Is it a special module or a Divine Level Technique?"

Gao Xin pondered, only these two possibilities remained, for even after observing for a long time, he couldn't learn!

As he was astonished by Caesar's sword skills, Caesar was also amazed by Tai Sui's Dark Blade Technique.

"Your Demon Blade is so formidable!"

"Without the resonance of Mortal Weaponry, to develop pure blade techniques to this level, it's beyond imagination."

"I never thought the Demon Blade could be used in such a way..."

Caesar was shocked and excited, Gao Xin's Dark Blade Technique differed on another level, walking blind spots of thought.

In comparison, Caesar's style was closer to Yak's approach, pursuing extreme efficiency.

Gao Xin asked: "Mortal Weaponry Resonance? Is it your Divine Level Technique?"

Caesar grinned: "I am the Soldier Master! The true War God, Weapon God, able to resonate with all weapons of slaughter."

"My control over weapons reaches its peak, a weapon in my hand can never harm me."

Gao Xin understood, realizing War Divinity had this effect.

Both had combat consciousness enhancements, but he differed from Yak, lacking a certain level of individual prowess, yet his coverage was broader, stronger in other aspects.

Yak considered himself the strongest weapon, so he only improved himself and lacked external trump cards. This led to arguments with himself during the Elephant King Conference before.

But Caesar is different. War is about people using the most powerful weapons with the greatest efficiency to slaughter others.

Thus, Caesar's combat awareness is primarily reflected in his mastery of weapons; the stronger the weapon, the stronger he becomes.

"So it's your unique Divine Level Technique..."

Gao Xin was serious. To learn this move, he would first need to learn the War Divinity.

Fortunately, with the blessing of Sea God Transformation, he had the opportunity to steadily grind against Caesar.

"Finally, the battle has commenced. Good!" Just as the two engaged in intense combat.

Bodhluo was secretly pleased and quickly retreated to one side.

His task was to make Caesar and Tai Sui fight. As long as they clashed, his goal would be half achieved.

Caesar allowing Tai Sui to grow was completely unacceptable to him and the other Quasi-Dragon Kings of the Empire.

Caesar didn't care; he even looked forward to strong opponents.

But others didn't think so. The rise of Tai Sui had already threatened everyone, and they all hoped that such an unconventional threat would disappear quickly.

As for what the Seahorse said about a new era, they had no interest because they were already the rulers under the current order. Why change their own era?

"Unbelievable, I didn't expect the Sea King to be defeated, and on the ocean at that..."

"Tai Sui's growth is terrifying. May Caesar go for the kill today and eliminate him completely..."

"But Caesar probably won't do that..."

Bodhluo retreated to one side, glancing quickly at the already dying Sea King, and thought rapidly.

Although Caesar was lured in by uncontrollable impatience, his overall demeanor remained quite calm and rational.

From start to finish, he only said he wanted Tai Sui to hurry up and undergo a Dragon Transformation, indicating Caesar still believed in resurrection.

"But if that's the case, the result might not be as I intended."

"If Tai Sui undergoes Dragon Transformation and really resurrects Shelly, and the two reconcile, wouldn't that be even worse?"

"Moreover, if a freshly transformed Tai Sui catches his breath and stabilizes his realm for a few days, perhaps no one on the island will be able to defeat him."

"Combining the power of Taixui Blood and his ability to resurrect, the momentum for unification may become unstoppable."

"I must find a way to kill Tai Sui at the Elephant Level or in the moment of Dragon Transformation."

Bodhluo was already prepared, thinking that if it came to it, he would deliver a finishing blow himself.

Even if this would surely enrage Caesar and make him hunt him down, he could always defect to Adam.

Both Caesar and Tai Sui are terrifying, but there is a key difference.

Caesar has stopped progressing. Though he always claimed he would eventually surpass Dragon Level, he's said that for ten years without any sign of progress.

Unlike Tai Sui, who rose rapidly in just half a year and already reached the combat power of a Quasi-Dragon King at the Elephant Level, truly terrifying.

Caesar can still be balanced by Adam and Milan, but if Tai Sui continues unchecked, the entire Crime Prison Island will be overturned.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Bodhluo noticed the Sea King's movements.

The Sea King was using the last of his energy to repair the Sea Snake, causing it to slowly emerge from the snake's mouth.

The bare and wet Sofia, standing only at just one-seventy meters, slowly crawled out from the mouth of the White Snake, her surface covered in shredded skin like a snake's molt.

"What happened?" Sofia panted heavily, taking in the surrounding situation and showing a face of despair.

Defeated, the Sea King was defeated, and now he was utterly exhausted. As for herself, there was no way she could be a match for Gao Xin.

Gao Xin remained towering, with the Titan Avatar and Shura Giant Statue merging into a Shura Titan form, wielding terrifying power.

"Caesar intervened; this is a chance to escape, sister, we must go quickly."

The Sea King stood up and urged Sofia.

"Brother, let's leave together..."

Sofia held onto the Sea King: "We can surely regroup and avenge our son! You must stay strong, if it were the past you, you surely could advance further!"

The Sea King weakly said: "Stop thinking about revenge; it's no longer possible."

"I'm truly old, and I've clearly felt that the speed of my Super-speed Regeneration has slowed down."

"This is irreversible aging. The more I fight in the future, the weaker I'll become...my peak is long gone..."

Upon hearing this, Sofia was struck as if by lightning.

She had heard the Sea King mention such things many times before but always scoffed.

Only now did she realize it might actually be true.

It wasn't an excuse; he truly was declining physically, really spending his life recklessly, and could never return to being the high-spirited Sea King of the past.

What made the Sea King resign was not just external blows and family upheavals, but also the body's aging.

He was fully aware that he would only grow weaker with training, hence his resignation.

Of course, the psychological blow was also significant; if it were his former self, even if his body faltered, he would find every possible way to solve the problem, rather than 'accept' old age.

The combination of physical and psychological despair created his current self: "Let go, Sofia, let's find a place together and hide away..."

Sofia gritted her teeth: "How could it be like this... why should it be like this!"

Her face twisted. For a long time, the Sea King had a deeply admired and adored image in her heart.

Even after resigning for so many years, she just thought the Sea King was taking revenge on himself. Once his mindset adjusted, he'd become the progressive man he once was.

She always held such fantasies, so much so that she viewed the current Sea King through a filter.

But unexpectedly, the person before her was already a completely useless, worn-out old man.
