Chapter 16 Laughing at the World's Ranks, Poseidon's Eighth Trial of the Sea God.
Poseidon nodded, his illusory figure gently touching Poseidon's forehead.
In an instant, the mark of the Sea God's Trident became clearly visible on her forehead.
From this moment on, she was no longer the High Priestess of Sea God Island, but the true successor of the Sea God!
[The content of the Eighth Trial of the Sea God: Within one year, retrieve the lost Vast Ocean Universe Cover. Completion reward: All soul rings' age increased by 30,000 years, all soul bones' age increased by 30,000 years.]
After bestowing the content of the Eighth Trial, Poseidon did not leave immediately. Instead, he gave Poseidon extra help, not entirely at ease.
"You can go to the Heavenly Dou Empire on the mainland, and with this Sea God's Trident, you can sense it."
To allow Poseidon to complete the reward ahead of time, Poseidon directly granted her the right to use the Sea God's Trident.
Holding the Sea God's Trident, Poseidon's strength reached its peak.
In terms of combat power alone, she could definitely deal with that damned Deep Sea Demon Whale King in the sea.
Having reached the Quasi-God realm, and with the accumulated rewards from the previous eight trials, her mobilization of the Sea God's power was an astonishing 70%.
Coupled with the amplification from the miraculous Sea God Trident, even a typical third-level god descending to the mortal realm would be slain by her on the Douluo Continent.The Sea God descended to the mortal realm to bestow his inheritance without concealment, so the entire Sea God Island knew that Poseidon was now the next Sea God.
Countless streams of faith gathered before Poseidon, continuously increasing her power.
"Fellow citizens of Sea God Island, I am honored to become the successor of the Sea God."
"Rest assured, as long as I, Poseidon, am in this world, there will be no trouble in the sea."
"We pay our respects to the Sea God!"
At the same time, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King opened its single eye, attempting several times to sail out and fight Poseidon, but ultimately could only roar in vain.
"Wait! Wait for the rewards from the Soul Beast Ranking! We absolutely cannot allow a new Sea God to appear!"
In the City of Slaughter, the King of Slaughter knelt on the ground, his body enveloped in a brilliant golden light, incongruous with the surrounding blood-red aura.
Amidst several strange roars and howls, the Blood Bat King was melted away by the golden light in resentment, revealing Tang Chen's true form. He appeared middle-aged, with a burly build, and although his body was weak, his undeniable overwhelming aura swept across the surroundings.
"What happened to me?"
Before Tang Chen could recover, the rewards for the eighth trial of the Asura God Trial were directly distributed.
[The eighth trial of the Asura God Trial is complete. Reward: All Soul Rings' age increased by 50,000 years, and the qualification to use the Asura Demon Sword.]
The next moment, his original nine Soul Rings (eight black and one red) were transformed into a terrifying configuration of five black and four red rings with the 50,000-year increase in age.
This wasn't the end; the rewards from the Heavenly Curtain followed.
With the ten thousand-year lifespan of his spirit rings increasing, Tang Chen's spirit ring configuration changed once again, becoming a terrifying four-black and five-red setup.
Brilliant golden light continuously entered his body, completely removing his internal injuries and toxins.
At this moment, Tang Chen's physical body was like a flawless shell, possessing the same aura as a newborn infant.
"My injuries and the deep-seated toxins have all healed?"
Tang Chen looked at his nine spirit rings—four black and five red—a configuration that was enough to shock the world, and his heart was filled with complex emotions.
"In the end, I underestimated the difficulty of the Asura God's inheritance. If it weren't for the help of this Martial Soul Ranking, I fear I would have perished completely in the City of Slaughter."
Tang Chen pulled the Asura Demon Sword from the blood pool beside him. With his current strength, he could definitely reach the true god level.
"Well, so many years have passed. I should return to the Clear Sky Sect first."
"Then, go see her."
Through his previous memories, Tang Chen already knew about Poseidon's current changes; like himself, she was qualified to become a god.
"Poseidon, wait for me. If the Sea God doesn't bestow a godhood upon you, I will definitely help you find one that is most suitable for you."
"Then, the two of us will stay together in the God Realm for a long time, let that old codger Qian Daoliu be envious."
Tang Chen sheathed the Asura Demon Sword, rushed out of the City of Slaughter, the sun, which he hadn't seen for decades, made him squint slightly.
He found his direction and flew straight towards the Haotian Sect's mountain gate.
In Soto City, Tang Hao looked at Tang Chen's name on the list, and suddenly his blood rushed to his head, and he collapsed to the ground.
He was so emotional that he couldn't even get up, staring blankly at the two large characters "Tang Chen" on the list, forgetting even to breathe.
Tang Chen! Haotian Douluo Tang Chen! His grandfather, who was invincible on land, actually still existed in this world!
"Grandfather, I never imagined you were the King of Slaughter in the City of Slaughter! No wonder Hao'er felt an instinctive sense of closeness when he first met you."
"So it was you! You don't know, during the time you were gone, I was constantly bullied by the Spirit Hall."
The once arrogant Clear Sky Douluo now resembled a child complaining.
Unlike the agitated Tang Hao, Tang San of Shrek Academy felt as if his world had collapsed.
Only one person of each spirit could be listed on the Spirit Ranking—that was the rule.
Originally, he hadn't held any hope for Blue Silver Grass to be listed, instead placing all his hopes on the Clear Sky Hammer.
But now, this Tang Chen, whose name he'd never even heard of, had taken the Clear Sky Hammer's spot! How could Tang San not be furious?
Around them, Dai Mubai and the other masters gathered, exchanging bewildered glances at Tang San, whose eyes were red with anger.
"Tang Chen, is it? Very well!"
"You dare to steal my opportunity, Tang San? You deserve to die!"
Tang San, true to his Tang Sect disciple style, was determined to kill this powerful figure named Tang Chen.
Even though this person had reached the pinnacle of human soul masters, Tang San remained fearless.
"I possess twin martial souls, Tang Chen, one day I, Tang San, will wring your dog's head off!"
The martial soul ranking list remained unaffected by any external factors, continuing its orderly ranking of ninth place.
This time, everyone stared intently at the list, not even blinking. Anyone capable of suppressing such a legendary figure as Tang Chen must be an unheard-of powerhouse.
The next moment, the ranking list was released.
