Chapter 291: Narrow Victory Over Poseisi
"Be careful, my 100,000-year-old soul ring's second soul skill summons the Sea God avatar to fight. Although it only has two layers of Sea God's power, it's still a divine ability."
Poseisi greatly admired the young man before her and kindly reminded him.
Ning Bei slightly curled the corner of his mouth and extended his left hand, revealing the Ice and Snow God Ring on his middle finger.
"Don't worry, Senior. Now let me show you a power you've never had."
"Hm?"
Poseisi was a little puzzled. What power could exist that even the strongest Soul Master under the gods couldn't touch? But seeing Ning Bei so confident, she felt slightly reassured. Moreover, the ring on his hand did indeed send a chilling sensation through her.
Not bothering to say more, Poseisi's Sea God martial soul suddenly expanded several dozen times. The ninth blood-red soul ring glowed once more.
"Ninth Soul Skill: Sea God's Descent."
The expanded martial soul gradually coalesced into a male figure. The man's eyes shone with golden light, appearing majestic and divine. Ning Bei understood that this was the Sea God Poseidon.
Ning Bei's confident expression slowly faded, turning into deep seriousness. The pressure from a god was immense, even if it was only two layers of Poseidon's power.
"Ice and Snow God Ring: Ice God's Blessing."
"Ice and Snow God Ring: Ice God's Descent."
"Eighth Soul Skill: Fearless Dark Ice."
"Soul Bone Skill: Ice God's Protection."
"Sixth Soul Skill: Extreme Cold Ice Crystal Shield."
Facing Poseidon's two layers of power, Ning Bei directly activated all of his buffs and even swallowed a Reviving Pill, focusing on ensuring that no one could kill him.
At this time, Poseidon's avatar moved. With a slight lift of its left hand, the entire sea began to shine with countless stars. Gradually, the starlight gathered above Poseidon's raised palm and transformed into a trident formed from soul power, launching fiercely toward Ning Bei.
"Boom."
The trident shot at terrifying speed, crashing into Ning Bei's Extreme Cold Ice Shield. The collision unleashed a horrifying wave of energy, and a dazzling white light instantly made the world around them change color.
The vegetation along the coastline was uprooted and blown far away. The impact at the center of the collision created a massive circular tsunami reaching up to 100 meters, surging away into the distance.
Even the group of small ones, dozens of kilometers away, were affected by the shockwave. A hurricane howled by, knocking them off balance.
"Pfft, pfft, what is this? What was that golden figure just now? That definitely wasn't my brother's move."
Ning Rongrong spat out the dirt that had entered her mouth, looking worriedly toward the sea, still flashing with white light.
Du Gu Yan's eyes reddened as she rushed back to the coast to pray. She could tell that the power wasn't her man's, and under such terrifying force, Ning Bei must be in great danger.
At this point, Xiao Wu no longer had the enjoyment of watching a spectacle in her eyes. Instead, she was full of hope, wishing for her Ning Bei big brother to overcome the crisis.
"This is too terrifying! Is Ning Bei's test this difficult? I was just joking about how easy it would be…"
At the same time, the city lords and residents of Sea God Island were horrified, staring at the battlefield between the two. Some of them, upon seeing the huge Sea God avatar, immediately knelt and began worshiping.
In Sea Dragon City, the city lord, Sea Dragon, stared at the catastrophic scene in front of him, unable to calm his heart. He hadn't even noticed the quietly arriving Sea Witch.
"Sea Dragon, who is fighting with the High Priest? This scene is too terrifying. Is this something that human strength can reach?"
Sea Dragon snapped back to reality and slowly looked at the Sea Witch beside him. As the strongest among the Seven Sacred Pillars, he knew the High Priest's power best and was also well aware of Poseisi's terror. He knew that one of the two fighting was indeed the High Priest.
Even so, could such a powerful High Priest really be forced into a desperate situation?
"I don't know, but it must be someone of equal strength to the High Priest. Prepare yourself to die for Sea God Island."
"No, I believe the High Priest can defeat this powerful enemy."
"Perhaps, I hope so too."
The Seven Sacred Pillars, still confused, all thought that Sea God Island was under attack by a powerful enemy and that the High Priest was fighting someone of equal strength. They instructed their subordinates to protect the city before heading to the battlefield.
The raging tsunami lasted for several minutes before gradually subsiding. The overcast sky cleared up, and the freezing cold ice that had frozen the entire near shore slowly melted away.
If it weren't for the devastation along the Ringed Coast, one might think that nothing had ever happened if only looking at the sea.
"Phew."
Poseisi, after summoning the Sea God avatar, appeared quite weak, crouching on the coast, gasping for breath. However, her eyes were not resting. She started searching for Ning Bei's figure.
After a while, Poseisi, having found nothing, withdrew her gaze. A trace of disappointment flashed across her eyes.
"Did I fail? I told you not to continue."
"Who failed, Senior?"
The voice, weak and breathless, caused Poseisi's eyes to widen. She turned and saw Ning Bei, whose clothes were torn and blood was dripping from his body, slowly walking toward her.
Seeing that Ning Bei was not in any life-threatening danger, Poseisi's pretty face returned to its indifferent expression.
"Hmph, even if you survived, what can you do in your current state?"
"Even though I'm weak now, I can still deal with you..."
Poseisi's words were cut short as she noticed Ning Bei's injuries healing at a visible speed, and his aura continuously rising, nearing his full strength once again.
Her calm expression shattered instantly, and Poseisi's voice began to tremble.
"Are you even human or a ghost?"
In Poseisi's eyes, surviving a blow from the Sea God was already remarkable, but the young man before her seemed to be developing into a state where he might come out completely unscathed. How could she not be surprised?
A minute later, Ning Bei moved his fully restored body and smiled at Poseisi once more.
"It seems I've won, Senior."
Upon hearing this, a bitter smile appeared on Poseisi's lips, though she didn't appear to be unwilling to admit defeat.
"Yes, you won. Congratulations."
"Not at all, Senior. It was just luck. If the Sea God's force had been a bit stronger, I might not have made it out unscathed."
It was time to quit while ahead. At this point, Ning Bei decided to be humble. After all, angering a woman was never a good idea, even if this woman was over a hundred years old. Ning Fengzhi would have to call her "Auntie."
"Winning is winning. I'm not a person who can't accept losing."
"So, has your divine test been completed?"
Poseisi slowly shook her head, acknowledging Ning Bei's victory while also asking about his progress in the test.
"Not yet. I still need to find the old man from the Qian family and have a duel with him."
"Qian Daoliu?"
"Yes. My divine test is to defeat two Extreme Douluos. I've only completed half of it."
