Chapter 245 The Assessment Begins
"This is the divine weapon of the sea god, the trident of the sea god!" Poseidon's arrival was quite a commotion. Tang Chen, who had condensed the Asura Demon Sword, knew the two-meter-long weapon she was holding was a divine weapon the moment Poseidon arrived.
As a friend and rival of Qian Daoliu decades ago, Tang Chen knew that the Angel God had also left behind a divine artifact, as had the Sea God.
"The Sea God's artifact!" Upon hearing this, Tang San focused his gaze on the trident in Poseidon's hand. With the help of his Purple Demon Eye, he could see the unimaginable power contained within it.
"I didn't expect Poseidon to bring a divine artifact with her? Could it be...?"
"Great-grandfather, is there a problem?"
"Although the high priests of the gods are the representatives of the gods on earth, they cannot easily use divine artifacts. And now, when those people came to the island of Poseidon, Poseidon actually took a divine artifact."
"Great-grandfather, you mean...?"
"It's probably related to their assessment, which may also be why the Sea God's artifact is still intact."
"Is their assessment the same as mine?" Tang San knew that the Vast Ocean Universe Cover was related to his divine inheritance when he first saw it. Later, he learned from Poseidon that the core of the Sea God's artifact, the Heart of the Sea God, had long been lost. If there were no surprises, the thing in Ding Quan's hand was the Heart of the Sea God.
Only the Trident of Poseidon, which possesses the heart of Poseidon, is a complete divine artifact; otherwise, it would remain unused in the Temple of Poseidon.
As for Poseidon bringing the Sea God's artifact, it reminded Tang San of his assessment.
Hold on for 15 minutes using the remaining three soul skills without using the seventh soul skill.
Even if Poseidon doesn't use her Martial Soul True Body and her last two skills, she is still an unparalleled being with a strength level of 99. Even without using her Martial Soul True Body, Tang San, who is still one step away from reaching level 95, is not someone he can deal with.
Tang San had witnessed the power of the divine artifact, which could easily block his attack after using the Ring Explosion skill, making it impossible for him to see any chance of victory at that time.
Now that Senior Poseidon has come to Ding Quan and the others with the divine artifact, there is probably only one possibility.
Poseidon's Staircase appeared before Ding Quan and the others.
"senior!"
"No need for formalities. You have returned the Heart of the Sea God and accepted the Sea God's test. You must already know the content of the test." Poseidon held the Sea God's Trident, which was slightly taller than her, and the aura emanating from her surprised Ding Quan.
In this state, Poseidon appears to be even stronger than Tang Chen after completing the Eight Trials of Asura. However, this makes sense, as Tang Chen's body was damaged at that time, and even with his demigod body, he was no longer able to bear the power of the Asura God.
But Poseidon is currently at her peak. Ding Quan can feel the rich power of the Sea God on her. It can be said that Poseidon, who is now wielding the Sea God's artifact, is the Sea God without her tenth soul ring.
"We understand, and that's why we're here." Ling nodded, looking at Poseidon before her. The sword patterns on the Asura Demon Sword in her hand were no longer glowing.
"Oh? You're planning to start now?" Poseidon glanced at the crowd. These people should know what they were holding. They were indeed very strong, but their levels were far below hers, and there was a huge gap in their soul power.
"Of course, and it's not like we can only do it once."
"In that case, follow me!" Poseidon nodded and flew away into the distance.
Ling and Wei'er, Shui Bing'er and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged glances, and then headed towards Poseidon with Ning Rongrong.
Ding Quan watched the group leave, then looked at the Sea God's Steps that were still quite a distance away, shook his head, and followed them up.
Ding Quan wanted to witness Poseidon's strength on Poseidon Island. Moreover, since Poseidon would likely use the Trident of Poseidon later, he wanted to see what this artifact had in common with the Asura Demon Sword.
Dai Mubai and his two companions, who were cultivating on the steps below, watched Ding Quan and the others depart and quickly came to Tang San and his companion's side. Then, the group quickly followed them.
"This is the Sea God's divine artifact! The High Priest will personally take action."
Beneath the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar, Sea Dragon Douluo looked at Poseidon, who had arrived at the edge of the Sea God Island, and the people following behind her, and suddenly stood up.
"The High Priest personally took action; they are indeed terrifyingly strong!" A beautiful woman with a human body and a fish tail emerged from the water, her originally mischievous face turning serious. This person was the Sea Witch, one of the seven holy pillars of Seagod Island, who was also a member of the mermaid race and possessed the bloodlines of both soul beasts and humans.
"Tang San, who arrived not long ago, was already ridiculously strong. I never expected there to be an even stronger monster!" As the Seahorse Douluo who received Tang San when he first arrived at Seagod Island, he couldn't help but feel a chill. Tang San's appearance made him realize that there were such geniuses. But now he was told that there were many more geniuses like that, and even more outrageous ones.
"Watch carefully, it might help us improve our strength. They are all peak Douluo, and their strength is beyond our imagination." As the only Super Douluo among the Seven Sacred Pillars, Sea Dragon Douluo had some guesses about the strength of Ding Quan and the others.
Those people had just returned the Sea God's legacy when Poseidon appeared with the Sea God's divine artifact.
Perhaps in the eyes of the Sea God, only the High Priest wielding divine artifacts is capable of testing those individuals. Considering this, their strength is probably not much inferior to that of the High Priest.
"Big brother is right, a battle of this caliber is a rare sight." As the second pillar, Sea Spear Douluo's soul power level is 94, not far from 95. Watching the battle of the strong might give him some insights.
"Too..."
Poseidon stood on the sea, still within the territory of Poseidon Island, and in this sea area, her power could be unleashed at its maximum.
Looking down at the sea, Shui Bing'er's soul power surged, and a huge ice floe appeared. Shui Bing'er landed directly on the ice floe.
Ling and Wei'er exchanged a glance, and then in a flash, they appeared on either side of Poseidon.
Zhu Zhuqing's figure flickered and appeared behind Poseidon.
Ning Rongrong did not go down, but flew towards the sky. Poseidon watched her increasingly tiny figure and did not stop her.
"You can all attack together. The test is to last half an hour against me." Poseidon glanced at the people who appeared around her. That's right, the opponent for Ling and Wei'er's test was Poseidon, who was in full strength and wielding the Sea God's artifact.
"We know," Vera said, her soul power surging, purple-gold lightning flashing around her. As her soul power surged, purple-gold, somewhat sinister lightning patterns appeared on her face.
"Senior, be careful." Ling looked at the sword pattern on his hand. He couldn't use the divine weapon. It wouldn't be easy to hold out against Poseidon for half an hour. The power of the divine weapon was too great. Moreover, the fact that Poseidon could use the divine weapon meant that she had already used divine power. Although his group had the Yin-Yang complementary dual soul cores that enhanced their soul power, they no longer had that advantage.
No matter how strong the soul power is, it is still just soul power, and there is a qualitative difference between it and divine power.
"It seems I'll have to go all out." Shui Bing'er watched as the light of the sea god emanating from Poseidon actually stopped the ice she was freezing with her ice attribute from spreading outwards. This was something even the Deep Sea Demon Whale King couldn't do.
Zhu Zhuqing remained silent. On this sea surface, her abilities were severely limited, and the light of the sea god somewhat countered her dark attributes.
The light and dark attributes are mutually restraining, depending on whose strength and attribute are stronger. Obviously, Poseidon, who is at level 99, is far stronger than Zhu Zhuqing, who is only at level 96.
Boom! Poseidon slammed her trident into the sea, unleashing terrifying soul power from her body.
A huge phantom appeared behind her. It was a handsome man with long blue hair, holding a trident that was exactly the same as the one in Poseidon's hand.
This is Poseidon's divinely bestowed martial soul, the Sea God!
Nine spirit rings, eight black and one red, beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, appeared on her body in an instant. The sea instantly surged with waves tens of meters high, and the sound of the surging waves crashing resounded, as if congratulating the arrival of the sea god.
Awooo~!
A deep tiger's roar resounded, and a huge purple-gold thunder tiger appeared behind Vera. A pair of purple-gold wings suddenly spread out on her body, and Vera's figure slowly flew away from the sea surface under the flapping of the golden wings.
Nine terrifying spirit rings appeared on Wei'er's body: two yellow, two purple, two black, and three red. The last two spirit rings had golden patterns on them.
The power of wind and thunder surged, swirling up the seawater around Vera. Then, under the influence of the thunder, a layer of mist formed in the sky, obscuring the light above.
Silver patterns appeared on Ling's body, tinged with blood. A phantom snow lotus emerged, followed by nine even more terrifying soul rings: one yellow, two purple, two black, and four red. The surrounding temperature began to drop.
Clang!
A phoenix cry rang out, and a chill spread once more, causing the speed of the already frozen sea surface to suddenly increase.
As Zhu Zhuqing looked at the darkening sky, a smile flashed across her face. Like Shui Bing'er, she was surrounded by nine soul rings—two yellow, two purple, two black, and three red—making her aura unfathomable.
Above the clouds, four nine-colored beams of light suddenly shot down, instantly boosting the aura of the four people.
A suffocating surge of soul power enveloped the sea, and as the soul powers collided, a terrifying force swept outwards.
"Boss Dai! Such a soul ring configuration!" At this moment, Shrek Academy and his group had arrived at the side of the seven holy pillar guardians of Seagod Island. Looking at the people not far away who had released their martial souls, the soul ring configurations that made people feel hopeless were astonishing. Although Oscar knew that the soul ring configurations of the others were outrageous, he still felt terrified when he saw them now.
"Rongrong's spirit ring configuration is so terrifying, then their spirit ring configurations can't be worse than hers!" Dai Mubai said, his eyes sweeping over the several titled Douluos around him. The spirit rings on their bodies made these titled Douluos open their mouths slightly, as if they wanted to say something.
"This is outrageous! The golden patterns on those spirit rings... their ninth spirit rings are over 500,000 years old, and Zhu Qing's are 400,000 years old! With spirit rings of this age, are they even human?" Ma Hongjun knew that Ling's ninth spirit ring had five golden patterns, and he was very clear about Ling and Wei'er's strength. They had long possessed red spirit rings and would basically never need to use a second move against him at the same level. But the age of everyone else's spirit rings was so high that it was despairing. How could other spirit masters survive with spirit rings of this age!
"Great-grandfather, do you know why?" Tang San was also shocked by the spirit ring configurations of the others. Such a configuration was hard for him, who possessed twin martial souls, to accept. Ling's ninth spirit ring age was not an exception.
"Hey mistress, look what's on them!"
"Back then, soul bones? Fusion techniques?" Tang San was a little stunned. It seemed that a set of armor with a similar aura to theirs had appeared on the group. It was really hard to notice from such a distance without careful observation.
"Their soul bones are basically of the same attribute, and now they've all formed soul bone sets!" Tang Chen's face showed surprise. It wasn't too strange that Ding Quan alone had a soul bone set, but the fact that almost all of them could do it surprised Tang Chen. "Is there a plan for their soul bones? If so, that makes sense!"
Tang Chen glanced at Dai Mubai and the others beside him. That Netherworld Cat Soul Master and Ning Rongrong used to be members of the Shrek Academy team. Tang San was friends with Ding Quan and his group, and had studied the Soul Ring skills of Ding Quan and the others.
They have detailed plans for spirit rings and spirit skills, so they must have the same for spirit bones.
So it's not surprising that soul bone sets appeared; the soul bones they absorbed were probably part of their plan.
"Soul Bone Planning?" Tang San understood upon hearing this. No wonder they didn't absorb the 70,000-year-old White-Eyed Demon Tiger King soul bone or the Golden Scale Beast leg bone they had given them before, but instead gave them to Dai Mubai and Oscar. So that's how it is.
"Little San, watch carefully, it will greatly help improve your strength. The age of the spirit ring is indeed important, but even if the power of the spirit skill reaches this level, it is difficult to gain an advantage in battle." Tang Chen patted Tang San's shoulder. Since he created the Haotian Nine Absolutes and the Great Sumeru Hammer, he has rarely used the skills of the spirit ring. After becoming a peerless Douluo, he has focused more on the use of spirit power. The power of the spirit skill is far less than that of the self-created spirit skill.
"Understood!" Tang San nodded, unleashing the full power of his Purple Demon Eye.
Above the sea, four red spirit rings suddenly lit up, revealing the true form of the Martial Soul! Ling Wei and her companions had to go all out against Poseidon and could not hold back at all.
As Poseidon's soul power surged, it made the group feel oppressed. She clearly wouldn't hold back, and her aura immediately overwhelmed the four people who were currently supported by the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Ding Quanxuan looked at Poseidon with his fiery eyes. Poseidon's soul power contained divine power, a power that even he himself could hardly match after acquiring three soul cores.
At this point, Poseidon's power was probably only surpassed by a true god.
Notice the blue-gold light emanating from Poseidon's trident; the light of the sea god on it is even more intense than that in the temple of the sea god.
Should I try to infuse my own attribute power into my martial soul?
