This was a truly wonderful feeling. He could sense that if he were to cultivate in the sea, he would benefit far more than from normal cultivation.

Through his connection with the sea, he was also gaining a better grasp on the two powerful techniques that his father had bestowed upon him, particularly the second one, which was a spatial technique that emulated part of the ocean's power.

Xie Xie could only sense that he was rising upward at a rapid speed, and this was quite a peculiar feeling. In particular, as the surface of the ocean drew closer and closer, the surrounding sea began to light up, presenting a sight that was more spectacular than any scenery.

"Boss, where's our submarine?" Xie Xie asked.

Tang Wulin replied, "It's still waiting for us deep in the ocean. Let it wait there for now; I have another way to delay the federal fleet."

"What are you going to do?" Xie Xie asked.

Tang Wulin replied, "Just wait and see. I can't be sure that it's going to succeed, but there should be a good chance."

At this point, the surrounding area had brightened significantly, and they were about to reach the surface of the ocean soon. Tang Wulin knew that the moment of truth was coming. Even as the son of the Sea God, he wouldn't be able to trigger the change that he wanted to see if he didn't have enough physical tolerance.

The duration of time that he would be able to affect the federal fleet would depend on how long he could persist.

The sea parted, and a pillar of water carried Tang Wulin and Xie Xie to the surface. Blue light rippled, and it was as if Tang Wulin had sprouted out of the ocean.

The conditions were currently very placid with blue skies stretching as far as the eyes could see.

The two of them were currently situated around 30 nautical miles away from the federal fleet, which was already within the detection range of the fleet's radars. However, there was currently a light barrier formed by seawater around Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, and the barrier was very thin, but it was able to prevent them from being detected by the radars.

This was the power of nature.

Tang Wulin turned to Xie Xie, and said, "No matter what happens, stay quiet and don't stray away from me."

"You got it," Xie Xie said as he made a zipping motion over his own mouth before throwing away the figurative key.

Tang Wulin smiled as he looked up into the sky, and said, "Begin."

He slowly raised his right hand to point up into the heavens, and the golden trident symbol on his forehead instantly began to release dazzling light.

The sea around Tang Wulin began to churn violently, and enormous waves suddenly began to appear over the surface of the placid ocean.

Xie Xie could clearly see that there were countless faint blue specks of light rising up into the air from these violent waves. Due to how diminutive these specks of light were, they were only visible to Tang Wulin and Xie Xie.

The sea continued to churn with ferocious might, and extremely rich energy continued to rise up from the surface of the sea as the waves became more and more violent.

The sea was a part of nature, so it had no will of its own and couldn't do anything by itself; only its master would be able to guide it to complete some specific tasks.

Tang Wulin couldn't control the sea, but he was able to influence the ocean to create some phenomena that could occur under normal circumstances, such as a storm.

His right arm gradually turned into a dazzling blue color as he continued to point up into the heavens, and a golden projection began to appear.

The projection was only around the same height as Tang Wulin, but it was covered from head to toe in a layer of golden radiance.

It had a head of long blue hair, and handsome facial features that bore a strong resemblance to Tang Wulin's appearance. The projection also had a golden trident pattern on its forehead, and its eyes seemed to be reflecting a vast starry sky.

In that instant, dark clouds suddenly began to appear over the clear blue skies, and an indescribable sense of pressure was taking shape, sweeping up gusts of fierce winds and causing the turbulent waves to churn even more violently. The sun was gradually concealed behind a layer of dark clouds, and the sea began to roar as if it had just awakened from a long slumber.

...... 

The Boundless Ocean Douluo suddenly opened his eyes as he sat on his chair in the control center. A faint layer of light flashed around him, and in the next instant, he arrived in the air above the aircraft carrier.

He cast his gaze into the distance, and from his position, he could see the ferocious waves on the surface of the ocean, as well as the rich water elements rapidly rising up into the air.

Someone's using the power of the ocean! Could it be the same person as the one from before? 

Chen Xinjie's brows furrowed tightly in a grim manner. If it really were the same person, what exactly did he want to do, and what could he even achieve?

The sky grew darker and darker, and lightning began to flash within the dense blanket of dark clouds up above.

The Boundless Ocean Douluo's heart jolted with shock as he took in the current situation. As a Limit Douluo who was a descendant of the ancient Sea Douluo, he had a very high level of affinity with the ocean. However, at this moment, he could sense that the sea was roaring at him in fury, and he was struggling to even control the seawater around the aircraft carrier.

Why type of power was capable of doing this?

"Attention, all units! Prepare to connect all ships and keep your communicators switched on to await my instructions," Chen Xinjie commanded.

At the same time, he had already begun to fly toward the epicenter where he could sense that the eruption of energy was originating from. He wanted to see exactly who it was that was causing such a commotion and had even turned the ocean against him.

The weather out at sea was indeed very unpredictable, but such an abrupt and drastic turn in weather conditions was still extremely rare. On top of that, for the very first time in his life, he could sense that the power of the ocean was rejecting him; this was completely abnormal!

What had happened to make the ocean become like this? This was definitely not a natural occurrence. There was either an extremely powerful Soul Master behind this, or an almighty sea soul beast. If it were a sea soul beast, then it had to at least be a Great Beast for it to be able to make the sea reject a demigod like him. If it were a human, then they had to be from the Star Luo Empire.

Regardless of what it was, the situation was definitely not within the realm of their expectations.

All of a sudden, a rumbling thunderclap rang out to break the tense and oppressive silence that had settled over the sea. Bolts of lightning quickly began to flash and intertwine to form massive lightning nets, before crashing down from above.

The thunderclaps made it sound as if heaven and earth were roaring to vent its fury, and extremely rich lightning and water elements were gathering within a vast surrounding area.

Tang Wulin looked up into the sky, and all of a sudden, an urgent voice rang out in his heart. A faint smile appeared on his face upon hearing this voice, and he flapped his Golden Dragon King wings, propelling himself straight up into the heavens.

Xie Xie naturally rose up alongside him, and both of them headed directly toward the lightning clouds up above.
