Chapter 121 No Mercy
"What a Sea God! What a Goddess Ranking! Is this going to add another stumbling block to my path of revenge?"
"Poseidon… do you think that by obtaining these rewards, you can stop me? You can protect those hypocritical humans? You can maintain that laughable ocean order?"
She slowly rose from her throne, her deep blue dress billowing without wind, her abyssal demonic energy surging around her.
"My hatred, after ten thousand years of sedimentation, has long been integrated into my blood and soul, transforming into the law of destruction! My power originates from the deepest abyss, devouring all things, even daring to covet the authority of the gods!"
"You want to restrain me? Then come!"
"Bring your Sea God Domain, your Divine Purification, your Sea God Heart… come to the deep sea to find me!"
"I will let you know what true despair is! I will drag you, along with the Sea God you worship, into the endless abyss of darkness!"
In the Demon Emperor's eyes burned an almost insane flame, a deep-seated hatred for the Sea God lineage, and extreme confidence in her newly acquired power.
"Send the order to all seas!"
Her icy voice echoed through the Demon Soul Network, reaching every corner of the vast ocean.
"High Priestess Poseidon of Seagod Island has left the Holy Land and is sailing towards the continent. All sea creatures along the way, if they encounter her fleet... kill without mercy!"
"Let her experience the 'welcome' of the Deep Sea Avengers before she reaches the continent!"
With her command, the already restless ocean boiled even more fiercely.
Countless powerful sea spirit beasts began to converge near Poseidon's sailing route, the deep sea surging with undercurrents and lurking killing intent.
At this moment, above the high seas, within the golden pillar of light, Poseidon naturally felt the chilling, hateful gaze emanating from the deep sea, and sensed the rapidly gathering malice and killing intent in the surrounding waters.
Her azure eyes were calm and still, only slightly turned towards the deep sea, as if clashing with the Demon Emperor's gaze across thousands of miles of water.
There were no words, no contest of power, but an invisible confrontation, a confrontation at the level of law, had already unfolded between the two supreme beings of the ocean.
On one side was the deep, dark, all-consuming abyssal demonic energy; on the other, the holy, vast, purifying power of the sea god.
These two equally immense, yet diametrically opposed forces clashed and eroded each other fiercely on an invisible level, causing sudden changes in the celestial phenomena of the nearby seas—sometimes dark clouds gathering and thunder rumbling, sometimes golden light breaking through the clouds and the sea calming.
Poseidon sighed softly and withdrew her gaze.
"Demon Emperor… I know your hatred. But the order of the ocean cannot be broken. The majesty of the sea god cannot be desecrated," she murmured to herself, her voice soft yet carrying an undeniable firmness.
"I came to the mainland seeking balance. Now, having been listed and granted this divine power, perhaps it is the Sea God's decree, enabling me to better fulfill my duties."
"If you insist on unleashing calamity and devastating all living beings, I... will have no choice but to act as the Sea God in carrying out the judgment."
Having said this, she ignored the hostility emanating from the deep sea and focused her attention on her own transformation.
The pure divine power and information of laws contained within the vast golden pillar of light were continuously flowing into her body, merging seamlessly with her own Sea God power, triggering an astonishing metamorphosis.
First, there was her own body.
A faint golden aura began to emanate from her, her skin became more crystalline, and her flesh and bones seemed to have been reforged, their density and strength increasing several levels. She also exhibited a semi-energetic quality, creating an unprecedented affinity and resonance with the surrounding ocean elements.
A near-divine body!
She could clearly feel that as long as she was in the ocean, the seawater within a thousand miles could become an extension of her power, providing her with almost endless energy replenishment and enhancement.
Her vitality was as exuberant as the sea, and her regenerative ability was so powerful that even severed limbs could regenerate.
The permanent blessing of the Sea God naturally enveloped her in a layer of pale golden holy radiance, a radiance with an instinctive repulsive and purifying effect on dark, evil, and devouring powers.
The Demon Emperor's terrifying abyssal demonic energy was noticeably weakened and resisted when it approached her body.
Next came the comprehension and enhancement of her domain.
The Sea God's Domain she originally possessed could cover the entire Sea God Island, its power infinitely close to that of a divine domain.
However, the domain's range and power would decrease after leaving Seagod Island.
At this moment, new domain information flooded into her consciousness—Boundless Ocean!
The core of this domain no longer relied on the geographical advantage of Seagod Island, but directly linked to the more fundamental laws of the ocean and the power of the Seagod. As long as it was in an environment with water, it could unleash and exert most of its power!
Its normal radius was one hundred miles, and its full-power burst reached five hundred miles! Its range even surpassed the Demon Emperor's Endless Devouring Domain!
Within the domain, the concentration of marine elements soared, and she could easily manipulate these elements to create various attack, defense, and support effects.
It provided an excellent amplification environment for water-attribute soul masters or soul beasts, while non-water-attribute beings would experience significant suppression.
A divine purification effect flowed slowly, like seawater under the sun, gently but firmly washing away all filth and darkness within the domain.
The resentment and devouring power within the Demon Emperor's domain, if they invaded this domain, would be continuously purified and weakened.
With a slight thought, a blurry phantom, a thousand meters tall, wielding a golden trident, faintly appeared within her domain, radiating supreme majesty—the Phantom of the Sea God!
Though merely a phantom, the trace of the Sea God's will and divine power it contained was enough to pose a threat to a demigod-level being.
Endless tides materialized at her will, no longer simple waves crashing, but tidal forces imbued with rhythm and law, capable of both strength and gentleness, offense and defense, unpredictable and ever-changing.
The Sea God's Protective Barrier unfolded, a pale golden shield enveloping the ship, its surface flowing with profound Sea God runes, its defensive power strong enough to withstand the combined attack of several Super Douluo.
The domain's ultimate ability, "Sea God's Descent," caused her heart to flutter slightly.
Briefly receiving purer Sea God power to possess her, gaining combat power and authority approaching that of a third-level deity… this meant that, at crucial moments, she would possess the ultimate trump card to directly confront and even suppress the Demon Emperor!
Of course, the cost was enormous, not only consuming terrifying amounts of energy but also having a limited duration, after which she would fall into weakness.
Finally, and most importantly, was the fusion of the fragment of the "Heart of the Sea God."
When that pure, golden light, seemingly condensing the essence of the entire ocean and the will of the Sea God, merged into her brow, Poseidon's entire soul trembled!
Her spiritual sea was completely reshaped and sublimated!
The once vast and tranquil spiritual ocean now became even more boundless.
