Chapter 194 The Trident of Poseidon Evolves! Evil God King: I, a dignified God King, am only ranked ninth?
Above the heavens, the winds and clouds shifted dramatically.
With the conclusion of the Rouge Ranking, the three-day rest period felt like an eternity for the beings of Douluo Continent.
For the gods of the Divine Realm, it was an unprecedented ordeal.
They were eager to see the true value of this so-called "Divine Artifact Ranking," yet worried about losing face if their own divine artifacts ranked too low.
Finally, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the ancient and magnificent golden scroll slowly unfurled once more.
This time, the alluring atmosphere of the Rouge Ranking was gone, replaced by a chilling, heavy aura of war!
[Divine Artifact Ranking, Tenth Place!]
The scene abruptly changed.
The once golden sky instantly transformed into a boundless, deep blue ocean.
Amidst the raging waves, a trident, entirely black yet radiating a faint blue light, stood like a stabilizing pillar, firmly suppressing the turbulent sea.
The moment it appeared, all the water-attribute soul masters and martial souls across the continent trembled uncontrollably!
[Artifact Name: Poseidon's Trident]
[Holder: Poseidon]
[Affiliation: God Realm, Sea God Temple]
[Quality: First-Class Artifact (Main Artifact)]
[Reason for Ranking:]
Weighing 108,000 jin, it is a symbol of authority embodying the power of faith from the entire ocean.
In the hands of Poseidon, it is not merely a weapon, but a key to unlocking the ocean's treasure trove.
It possesses absolute control over water and the power to shatter the void with a single strike. Although slightly inferior in material to a super artifact, its compatibility with its user is a perfect 100%!
Wielding the trident, Poseidon is invincible on the sea!
God Realm, Sea God Temple.
Seeing his beloved weapon on the list, Poseidon's previously anxious heart finally settled down.
Immediately, a surge of overwhelming joy welled up within him.
"Hahaha! I'm on the list! I'm on the list!"
Poseidon, wielding the true Trident of Poseidon, grinned from ear to ear, showing none of the dignity befitting a first-level deity.
"Shura! Did you see that?"
"Tenth place! This is the tenth place among all the divine artifacts!"
Although it was only at the bottom of the list, this was a ranking open to all planes! Making it into the top ten proved his worth!
After all, with the Trident of Poseidon and his own strength, he was among the strongest in the divine realm.
Apart from the five great god-kings, few other first-level gods could rival him.
However, before he could finish gloating in the divine realm committee, the rewards from the heavens descended with immense divine might!
[Rewards Announced:]
[1. Artifact Quality Advancement: From Main Artifact to Pseudo-Super Artifact (Weight doubled! Special effect: Wrath of the Deep Sea!)]
[2. Origin Feedback: Poseidon's divine power purified by 30%!]
[3. Special Blessing: Boundless Ocean (When using the trident, divine power consumption is reduced by 50%, and power is increased by 50%!)]
A deep blue pillar of light, piercing the heavens, completely ignored the spatial barriers of the divine realm and crashed down upon Poseidon!
At this moment, everyone on the continent saw this true god through the celestial canopy!
He wore deep blue battle armor, his long hair flowing, bathed in divine light.
And the original Trident of the Sea God doubled in weight! 216,000 jin!
Poseidon gripped the trident, feeling an unprecedented surge of immense power coursing through his limbs and bones.
Originally, while his strength was among the top of the first-level gods, there was still an insurmountable gap between him and a god-king.
But now!
With the purification of divine power and the evolution of the divine weapon, he felt as if he had touched that threshold!
"Hah!"
Poseidon roared, casually swinging the trident.
Rumble!
A deserted sea area in the divine realm was instantly whipped up by towering waves tens of thousands of feet high!
That terrifying power even caused fine cracks to appear in the surrounding space!
A pseudo-super artifact!
Although it still has the word "pseudo" in its name, it has already surpassed all first-level artifacts!
Lin Yuan glanced at the "pseudo-super artifact" on the celestial screen, but merely curled his lip and even yawned.
"That's it? Only 210,000 jin?"
The tremors in the divine realm continued.
The Sea God's inclusion on the list filled the other gods with both envy and jealousy.
Especially those first-level gods who hadn't yet made the list, they all stared longingly at the celestial screen, wishing they could carve their names onto it.
Then, the celestial screen changed again!
If the previous scene was a turbulent sea, then now it was absolute order and majesty!
Black and white.
Good and evil.
Sin and punishment.
Two completely opposite auras intertwined and collided in the celestial screen, ultimately reaching a strange yet perfect balance.
[Artifact Ranking, Ninth Place!]
A huge scale with a unique shape, radiating black and white halos, slowly emerged.
It floated in the chaos, the left tray holding white holy light, and the right tray holding black demonic energy.
It was impartial, as if representing the most just law in the world.
[Artifact Name: Scales of Judgment]
[Holder: Evil God-King (Old Evil God)]
[Affiliation: Divine Realm - Evil Temple]
[Quality: Super Artifact]
[Reason for Ranking:]
It is the cornerstone of the divine realm's order, the yardstick for measuring good and evil.
It is not known for its killing, yet it possesses the supreme authority to judge the life and death of all beings.
Those locked by the Scales of Judgment, if guilty, will have their souls fall into the deepest hell; if virtuous, their souls will ascend to heaven.
Even gods cannot hide their inner secrets before the Scales of Judgment.
It is the embodiment of rules, the maintainer of order!
The Divine Realm Committee.
The Evil God-King, who had been mocking the Sea God for making a fuss, instantly froze.
His eyes widened, staring intently at the large "Ninth Place," momentarily wondering if his eyesight was failing.
"Ninth?"
"Are you kidding me?!"
The Evil God-King slammed his fist on the table, furious. "I am a God-King! One of the five supreme gods of the God Realm!"
"My Scales of Judgment are a genuine super artifact!"
"Why is the Sea God, that guy with the harpoon, ranked tenth, while I'm only ninth?!"
"Is this artifact ranking broken?!"
The Goddess of Kindness beside him was also astonished.
Normally, there's a qualitative difference between a super artifact and a first-level artifact.
The Sea God's "pseudo-super artifact" evolved after receiving a reward, while the Scales of Judgment are already a super artifact!
Only one place difference?
What does this mean?
It means there are at least eight more terrifying artifacts than the Scales of Judgment!
"Don't be hasty."
The Asura God calmed down, but the fear in his blood-red eyes deepened.
"Evil, look at the rewards."
