Chapter 204 Yang Podi's Strength
Yang Podi faced the four Sea Dragon Douluo, Sea Illusion Douluo, Sea Star Douluo, and Sea Maiden Douluo without hesitation or fear, instead appearing even more ferocious.
Yang Podi swung the Soul-Breaking Spear repeatedly, and countless spear lights appeared on the spear, covering all four of them. Moreover, the spear lights were now exceptionally sharp and their power had increased significantly, which was the effect of entering the ultimate gold realm.
Meanwhile, the four Sea Dragon Douluo on the other side hurriedly used various soul skills to block the attack of the spear light. At that moment, Yang Podi shot out a red light from his eyes, which was the fourth move of Yang Podi's Nine Soul Breaking Techniques: Blood and Rain.
This red light was extremely fast and was a mental attack, so it was impossible to stop. It struck the Sea Maiden Douluo directly on the head, causing her to bleed from all seven orifices. Her face contorted in extreme pain, and she collapsed to the ground.
Yang Podi, pressing his advantage, immediately unleashed his sixth soul skill: Golden Lion's Roar. A massive golden light erupted from the Soul-Breaking Spear, resembling a golden lion, as it pounced towards the three. Especially after his sixth soul ring reached ten thousand years old, the power of his soul skill seemed to have increased dramatically; the roar of the Golden Lion King seemed capable of annihilating heaven and earth.
The three Sea Dragon Douluo hurriedly activated their soul skills to desperately defend themselves. Clearly, the power of this move far exceeded their expectations, after all, it was a 100,000-year soul skill.
When the Golden Lion King disappeared, all three of them looked extremely disheveled, clearly having sustained serious injuries.
But Yang Podi didn't care about any of that. Instead, he continued to attack with the Soul-Breaking Spear in his hand. Since the Sea Dragon Douluo had come, he would first deal with the strongest spiritual pillar among the Seven Sacred Pillars, especially his Demon-Breaking Domain, which indeed had a great restraining effect on all domains.
Yang Podi's seventh soul ring flashed, and he immediately unleashed his seventh soul skill: True Form of Weapon Soul. A larger and stronger Soul-Breaking Spear appeared in the air, its attack power becoming significantly more formidable.
Yang Podi gripped the Soul-Breaking Spear and thrust it directly at the Sea Dragon Douluo in front of him, seemingly capable of piercing anything.
Sea Dragon Douluo hurriedly activated his ninth soul skill: Sea Dragon Heaven-Shaking Strike. A huge sea dragon roared and met the attack of the Soul-Breaking Spear, but it was directly pierced by the Soul-Breaking Spear, and even Sea Dragon Douluo was seriously injured.
Yang Podi, having gained the upper hand, pressed his advantage relentlessly. With a swift turn of his spear, he swung the Soul-Breaking Spear backhand, striking the Starfish Douluo beside him. The blow cleaved open the Starfish Douluo's five tentacles, leaving a massive wound on his body. The Starfish Douluo was sent flying, collapsing to the ground severely injured.
Meanwhile, Haiwang Douluo seemed to want to attack from behind, and used his eighth soul skill: Dance of Ten Thousand Snakes, which instantly created countless illusory sea snakes that attacked Yang Podi. This was both a powerful attack and an attempt to relieve the siege of Wei by rescuing Zhao, the injured Hailong Douluo.
But Yang Podi didn't care about that. He emitted countless Gengjin Qi from his body, forming a protective circle made of spear blades, which tore apart all the sea snakes around him. Then, his figure flashed again. This time, he directly unleashed a spear attack like a dragon. The Soul-Breaking Spear was like a one-horned Tyrannosaurus Rex, savagely stabbing towards the Sea Dragon Douluo. Even though the Sea Dragon Douluo tried his best to resist, he was still directly pierced through the shoulder.
However, the Sea Dragon Douluo's body was exceptionally strong, and he actually gripped the Soul-Breaking Spear with both hands, trying to block this fatal blow and also to buy time for the Sea Illusion Douluo.
But Yang Podi rubbed his hands together, and the Soul-Breaking Spear spun rapidly, piercing through the powerful body of Sea Dragon Douluo like a diamond drill, pinning him to the ground. Due to his severe injuries, Sea Dragon Douluo instantly fainted.
At this point, four of the seven members of the Seven Sacred Pillars of Poseidon Island had fallen to the ground, and the other three were terrified, seemingly unable to face Yang Podi's ferocity.
Especially after losing the Demon-Slaying Domain of Sea Dragon Douluo, Yang Podi once again emitted white light and activated the Gravity Domain, putting immense pressure on the remaining three.
Meanwhile, Yang Tianyue and Yang Ping'an on the other side fought with increasing ferocity, appearing much stronger.
Yang Podi quickly moved, eliminating Haiwang Douluo, Haimao Douluo, and Haigui Douluo in a flash.
At this point, only a small portion of the incense stick had burned, and all seven sacred pillars of Poseidon Island had fallen, severely injured. The sixth test of the Poseidon's trials had been officially passed.
Ye Lingling rushed forward to treat the Seven Sacred Pillars of Seagod Island, genuinely fearing that the seven might die if she wasn't careful.
About an hour later, the seven sacred pillars of Poseidon Island gradually regained consciousness, but each of them looked very sad. They all knelt on one knee in front of Poseidon and said in unison, "High Priest, we have disappointed you. Our opponents were powerful, and we have failed."
Poseidon shook his head slightly: "It's not your fault. Yang Podi's strength is even greater than I imagined. It's normal for you to lose."
Then Poseidon said calmly to Yang Podi and the other three, "Congratulations to you four, you have passed the sixth test of the Sea God's Trial."
At the same time, a voice echoed in Yang Podi's mind: "Red-level first test, sixth level: assist the successor of the Sea God in supporting the Seven Sacred Pillars of Sea God Island for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. If you exceed the mission target and defeat the Seven Sacred Pillars of Sea God Island, the reward will be doubled and the age of all your soul rings will be increased by 10,000 years."
Upon hearing about the reward for the assessment, Yang Podi couldn't help but shake his head. While increasing the age of the soul ring by ten thousand years would indeed make the soul skill more powerful, why didn't the Sea God do something more practical, such as increasing the soul power level?
Yang Tianyue also exceeded expectations this time, with her affinity with the Sea God increasing by 20%, bringing her total affinity to 70%.
Yang Ping'an exceeded expectations in the sixth trial, increasing his soul power by one level and the age of all his soul rings by one thousand years. In addition, he increased his overall soul power by one level in all the assessments of the Black-level sixth trial and was rewarded with a divinely bestowed soul ring.
At this point, Yang Ping'an had completed all his assessments and had gained quite a bit.
Ye Lingling also exceeded expectations, increasing her soul power by one level and increasing the age of all her soul rings by two thousand years.
The seventh challenge involves Yang Podi and Ye Lingling assisting Yang Tianyue in wielding the Trident of Poseidon, a rather difficult test with a time limit of one year.
Yang Ping'an finally obtained the divinely bestowed soul ring he had been dreaming of once again. This was after being stuck at level 80 for a long time, and he was finally able to absorb the soul ring.
After resting for a while, Yang Ping'an began absorbing the divinely bestowed soul ring, which he estimated would take several months.
After resting for three days, Yang Podi and his two companions prepared to go to the Sea God Temple to undergo the seventh test of the Sea God's Trial, which was one of the more important and difficult tests. After all, the Sea God's Trident weighed 108,000 jin. If Yang Podi were to do it on his own, he was confident that he could lift it, but without assistance, it would be quite difficult for Yang Tianyue to take it out.
As for Dugu Yan and Niu Meng, they guarded Yang Ping'an, waiting for him to finish absorbing the divinely bestowed soul ring.
Early that morning, Yang Podi and his two companions began their journey up the steps to the Sea God Temple.
The staircase has a total of 1,001 steps. Although it is shrouded in the light of the sea god, it no longer has that repulsive force.
After the three of them climbed the stairs, they were greeted by the Seven Sacred Pillars of Poseidon Island.
Yang Tianyue took the lead and said, "Greetings to the seven seniors. Thank you for your previous care."
The leader, Sea Dragon Douluo, looked at Yang Podi and the other two with an unusually strange expression. His emotions were obviously very complicated, especially since the Seven Sacred Pillars had been completely defeated in the final battle. Moreover, Yang Podi was only level 93, yet his combat power was so strong.
However, the Sea Dragon Douluo finally spoke up: "Please follow me, the three of you. The Grand Elder is currently waiting for you in the Sea God Temple."
Yang Tianyue and the other two nodded and followed Hailong Douluo. It has to be said that the Sea God Temple is indeed worthy of being the place where the Sea God inherits his legacy. It may not be luxurious, but it is extremely solemn and majestic, as if it is sacred and inviolable.
The group arrived at the entrance of the Sea God Temple. The Sea Dragon Douluo spoke respectfully to those inside the gate: "Grand Elder, Yang Tianyue, Yang Podi, and Ye Lingling have been brought here."
Only Poseidon's calm voice came from inside: "Let the three of them in. You may leave now."
After bowing to the Sea God Temple, Sea Dragon Douluo left with the six sacred pillars in the distance.
Yang Tianyue and the other two quietly entered the Sea God Temple, seemingly filled with respect for everything around them.
The Sea God Temple is very ancient and simple in structure. It is just a huge temple with a large throne in front of it. However, the throne is empty. It is probably not qualified for anyone in the entire Douluo Continent to sit on the throne. In particular, the throne is spotless, which is probably because Poseidon cleaned it himself.
Below the throne are eight smaller seats, one in the center and seven surrounding it, just like the seven sacred pillars of Poseidon Island and the high priest Poseidon Island. Even the orientation is the same as the arrangement of the seven sacred pillars of Poseidon Island.
Poseidon looked at Yang Tianyue and said calmly, "Yang Tianyue, come forward."
Yang Tianyue seemed quite excited at this moment and quickly agreed.
Following closely behind, Yang Tianyue arrived in front, with Yang Podi and Ye Lingling following behind, together before the Sea God Douluo Poseidon.
The three bowed to Poseidon: "Greetings, Senior Sea God Douluo."
Poseidon simply nodded: "Before you undergo the seventh trial, let me tell you about the sea god."
"The ocean is much larger than the land, a full four times the size of the land. It is vast and boundless. There are countless ferocious sea spirit beasts in the ocean, many of which are extremely fierce, like the Demon Orca and the Deep Sea Demon Whale. Many sea spirit beast clans are also very powerful. Various wars often break out among them. Some even like to slaughter all kinds of small spirit beasts. Wars are constantly taking place, making it very chaotic."
"It is the Sea God, who wields the Trident of the Sea God and has traveled to every corner of the entire ocean, conquering all the sea spirit beast races on the sea. This is not only due to his martial prowess, but also to his unparalleled personal charisma. It took him a full 1,001 years to conquer the entire ocean, and he is revered as the Sea God by all sea spirit masters and sea spirit beasts."
Yang Tianyue asked, somewhat puzzled, "Has the Sea God lived for a thousand years? A normal human Soul Master shouldn't be able to live that long, right?"
Poseidon shook his head: "Ordinary people naturally can't live that long, but after a Soul Master enters the Title Douluo realm, their lifespan will increase significantly. An ordinary Title Douluo can live up to three hundred years, and their lifespan will also increase with the increase of their Soul Power. Especially after reaching level 99 Limit Douluo, they can live for thousands of years."
"There are three Limit Douluo in the world today: myself, Qian Daoliu, and Tang Chen of the Clear Sky Sect. Qian Daoliu and I reached level 99 through the God-level assessment. I relied on the Sea God assessment, and Qian Daoliu relied on the Angel God assessment. Tang Chen, on the other hand, was the most unexpected and the most talented. He reached level 99 through his own strength."
"You must understand that after entering the Title Douluo realm, the improvement of soul power becomes extremely slow. It takes a hundred years to go from level 95 to 96, another hundred years to go from level 96 to 97, and a full three hundred years to go from level 97 to 98. And going from level 98 to 99 requires a full six hundred years of tireless and arduous cultivation. Under normal circumstances, ordinary people simply cannot reach level 99. But Tang Chen not only did it, he even reached level 99 three years earlier than Lord Sea God."
When she spoke of these things, a hint of emotion, a rare touch of warmth, seemed to appear on Poseidon's usually impassive face.
Poseidon seemed to have thought of something, and his expression changed slightly: "Yang Tianyue, you were born into the Broken Clan. Could you tell me your attitude towards the Haotian Sect and Tang Chen?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Podi knew that the main event was about to begin. It was clear that Poseidon still harbored feelings for Tang Chen, and since the Po clan had been on an opposing side after leaving the Haotian Sect, Poseidon probably wouldn't want to do anything to aid the enemy.
In particular, Poseidon's attitude towards Yang Tianyue was significantly colder than her attitude towards Tang San in the original story.
Yang Tianyue's answer is rather troublesome. If she doesn't answer well, who knows if Poseidon might use some external force to deal with her?
