Jiang Chen shouted for them to leave, but when it came to action, he didn't hesitate at all. If he hesitated for even two seconds, it would count as Jiang Chen losing. Kidding, a power source delivered to your doorstep—what are you waiting for? Gods are reusable resources. In the future, he could open a god processing factory. When he had time, he could go to the Dark Sea and see if he could catch a few more. These were gods, after all. Good stuff, really good stuff.
Jiang Chen poured magic into the Unbroken Excalibur in his hand. In the next moment, it transformed into a spear.
"O Brahma, curse my body!"
As Jiang Chen's chant rang out, the spear in his hand ignited. Immediately after, the burning spear was hurled with tremendous force by Jiang Chen.
'Roar!'
Osial and Beisht also felt the pressure. This pair of godly spouses didn't even have time to catch up. They immediately began to defend. If they didn't defend, they would die!! A massive amount of seawater gathered, forming a waterspout that rushed to block Jiang Chen's attack.
The two forces collided, and the high temperature instantly vaporized the seawater. A deafening explosion echoed, accompanied by smoke spreading across the sea. In addition, there were various white crystals. These were the remnants of the seawater after being vaporized by the intense heat. However, they only appeared briefly before falling into the sea and being washed away.
Osial and Beisht didn't fare well. Jiang Chen's attack wasn't so easy to block. They blocked it, but not completely. The terrifying explosion directly took off several of Osial's heads.
'Roar!'
As the explosion dissipated, Osial's furious roar rang out. Immediately after, it began to curse.
"Damn it!!"
"Bastard!!"
Who was this guy? His strength was insane! When facing Jiang Chen, Osial was completely dumbfounded. A new god in Liyue?
Seeing that Osial had managed to block some of his attacks, Jiang Chen was also surprised. With a casual wave of his hand, his weapon returned to him. Osial's heads also began to regenerate.
'Roar!'
This time, Osial no longer paid attention to Liyue Harbor. Now, it only wanted to kill the guy in front of it. Jiang Chen's attack had hurt it badly.
"Because it's an elemental lifeform, it didn't take much damage?"
"On the other hand, Beisht was more severely injured."
Jiang Chen observed the condition of Osial and Beisht and understood. If he wanted to completely destroy them, he would have to go all out. However, Jiang Chen's goal wasn't to kill them. The earlier Noble Phantasm release was just a test attack. Now that he understood Osial's situation, Jiang Chen felt reassured.
With its heads regenerated, Osial began to frantically attack Jiang Chen. Beams of water elemental energy shot towards Jiang Chen.
"O Sun, become my armor!!"
Facing such an assault, Jiang Chen began to charge forward. At the same time, he summoned his armor and put it on. As Jiang Chen's chant ended, two sun wheels materialized from the Unbroken Excalibur. They attached themselves to Jiang Chen's shoulders, one on each side. In the next moment, Jiang Chen's entire outfit changed. A full set of armor adorned with special markings now covered his body.
As Jiang Chen's appearance transformed, Osial's attacks were deflected one by one. Even when the attacks hit Jiang Chen, they were vaporized by an invisible force around him. After all, it was just water. As long as it was vaporized before it reached him, there was no problem.
Jiang Chen charged straight at Osial. Along the way, the Unbroken Excalibur in his hand grew larger under his control. A massive 40-meter-long sword made entirely of flames swept horizontally at Osial's heads. Flames shot into the sky, and everyone in Liyue Harbor saw it.
Witnessing the spectacle Jiang Chen had created, many people's eyes widened in shock. Wow, did Liyue Harbor have its own Pyro Archon now? Jiang Chen's current state undoubtedly made him seem like a Pyro Archon. Controlling flames, and being so powerful that he could suppress a god—it was no stretch to call him a Pyro Archon. Especially since, during Jiang Chen's battle, the temperature across Liyue began to rise. It felt like there was an extra sun in the sky. The scale of the battle was immense.
On the Jade Chamber, Ningguang watched Jiang Chen's unleashed power with astonishment. She knew Jiang Chen was strong, but no one had told her he was this strong. Watching Jiang Chen battle Osial and Beisht, a strange light flickered in Ningguang's eyes. With Jiang Chen here, even if the Geo Archon was no longer present, Liyue was still safe. If the Geo Archon's strength had once brought peace of mind, now Jiang Chen's fiery presence did the same. The weight of stone had been replaced by the heat of the sun.
Not just Ningguang, but Lumine and Keqing felt the same. Especially Lumine. This was the first time she had truly witnessed Jiang Chen's combat prowess. She knew Jiang Chen was strong, but she hadn't expected him to be this strong. Since Jiang Chen could now fight on par with gods, it meant he stood at the forefront of Teyvat's power hierarchy. Good, good!! When she eventually faced the Heavenly Principles, she would have a powerful ally. How delightful!!
Thinking this, Lumine decisively sped up her actions. She quickly took down all the Fatui members who had stormed the Jade Chamber. "So strong!" Guizhong couldn't help but exclaim as she watched the battle from afar. The power Jiang Chen had unleashed was overwhelming. And this wasn't even his full strength. Jiang Chen hadn't fully released his Noble Phantasm. As someone who also possessed a Noble Phantasm, she could tell just how much power Jiang Chen was holding back. If Jiang Chen had gone all out earlier, he might have severely injured Osial. Would the other party even have a chance to resist? It might have already been obliterated.
On the battlefield, Osial was being completely suppressed by Jiang Chen. Every time, Jiang Chen could cleave off one of Osial's heads. If Jiang Chen had an instant-death attribute, Osial would have been killed several times over. As for Beisht, it was just collateral damage.
"Damn you!!"
Osial roared in frustration, utterly humiliated. It wanted to attack Jiang Chen, but it couldn't land a hit. Even when it did, the attacks were blocked. How could it not feel humiliated? It couldn't harm Jiang Chen, but Jiang Chen was dealing tons of damage to it. Every one of Jiang Chen's attacks caused severe damage, as if there was a power specifically targeting it. After all, gods were still gods!! The Unbroken Excalibur in Jiang Chen's hand was a weapon against gods. Even a casual strike could deal true damage.
"Osial!"
"Take your wife and return to the seal!"
"Otherwise, what comes next won't be as gentle as before."
With another swing, Jiang Chen lopped off one of Osial's heads. He looked at Osial with a dangerous glint in his eyes. He felt it was about time. Many people in Liyue Harbor had already seen this. He had made it clear to everyone that Liyue now had an incredibly powerful force! Even if the Archon War reignited, Liyue now had the confidence to fight. At the same time, he sent a message to the other nations: the current Liyue was terrifyingly strong!!
