Pool of Destruction

In a towering valley, the sound of waves crashing against the boulders echoed like rolling thunder, the roar never ceasing.

Above a towering valley, Bo Saixi explained to Qing Mu and Bulbasaur, "This place is one of the wonders of Sea God Island, the Giant Wave Desolation Barrier! Due to its extremely harsh environment, no Sea Soul Beast come here, and this is also the location for your Third Trial."

After speaking, Bo Saixi slowly raised her hands, and nine Soul Ring —eight black and one red—began to appear around her, along with a ring of azure light emanating from her body.

As the blue light spread into the valley, the surging waves instantly calmed down.

Immediately afterwards, a thick gray pillar slowly rose from the sea.

"Qing Mu, for the next year, you will need to spend an average of twelve hours a day on this pillar in order to pass through."

Of course, with your current strength, this Giant Wave Desolation can hardly cause you any harm. If you stay long enough, you can finish it ahead of schedule."

Listening to Bo Saixi's story, Qing Mu looked towards the Giant Wave Desolation and was preparing to go down for the assessment when a sudden change occurred!

In the heart of the Giant Wave Desolation, a pale purple pool suddenly appeared, with wisps Sisi grayish-white mist faintly emanating from its edge.

"Was it done by the God of Destruction?"

Qing Mu watched this scene, his eyes narrowing slightly. He sensed an aura of Destruction emanating from the pool.

Furthermore, considering the previous requirements of the God of Destruction's test, it seems that the other party was well-prepared and was about to begin the God Trial.

Sure enough, a lot of information quickly appeared in his mind.

The pool that suddenly appeared was called the Pool of Destruction. The liquid inside possessed Destruction power, and all he needed to do was soak in it.

The pool water will gradually change Qing Mu's body, allowing him to adapt to the Destruction Divine Power.

"Since that's the case, let's go to a bar."

Qing Mu shrugged indifferently. This Pool of Destruction, located in the Giant Wave Desolation, should not affect the Sea God's assessment.

Even if it has an impact, it doesn't matter. Bulbasaur can just complete Bulbasaur test.

With that thought in mind, Qing Mu took a step forward and arrived at the Pool of Destruction.

"Etc!"

Suddenly, Qing Mu stopped in her tracks, took out her Storage Soul Tool, placed it on the valley floor, nodded in satisfaction, and walked into the Pool of Destruction.

In an instant, Qing Mu felt an extreme pain, a pain that surpassed all the pain he had suffered before, causing his face to contort in agony.

Clearly, even for Qing Mu now, facing the aura of Destruction without any preparation would be extremely difficult.

Fortunately, Qing Mu's level was high enough, her physical body was strong enough, and her Spiritual Power was almost at the Qing Mu God Rank, so she could still endure this pain.

"But this Pool of Destruction is truly domineering; the Giant Wave Desolation seawater outside can't even get in, let alone be used for tempering."

Having experienced some of the external environment, Qing Mu said with some surprise.

This discovery thwarted his plan to simultaneously complete the God Trial of both the Sea God and the God of Destruction.

"But it doesn't matter."

Immediately, Qing Mu looked at Bulbasaur, and Bulbasaur above the valley seemed to understand something, jumping directly onto the gray pillar.

Then, a large number of waves rushed towards Bulbasaur, but Bulbasaur easily resisted them, and the Third Trial trial of the Sea God finally began.

Over the next period of time, Qing Mu underwent continuous tempering in the Pool of Destruction, and her body's affinity for the Destruction Power gradually increased.

Meanwhile, Bulbasaur was undergoing Tidal Body Tempering while occasionally challenging Bo Saixi on the high seas.

The purpose of doing this was naturally to gain experience. Although Qing Mu had accepted the God Trial the God of Destruction and the Sea God, it did not mean that Qing Mu was without any sense of caution towards these two gods.

Sea God is alright; in the original story, he's just a goofy guy who yearns for freedom, so he's not that much of a threat.

However, the God of Destruction is a dangerous character in the original work. The idea of being Destruction has a serious influence on him. Even if the Life Goddess is involved, given his personality, he shouldn't give up his Divine Position so easily.

Whatever the God of Destruction is thinking, he must possess even greater power to deal with him.

"Break it!!!"

A week later, Qing Mu suddenly opened his eyes, which emitted a rich blue light. Then, Qing Mu's Sea of Spirit seemed to break through a certain limit, growing wildly and becoming even more intense in color.

"My Spiritual Power has finally reached the true God Rank. For a long time to come, there will be no obstacles to the growth of my Spiritual Power."

Qing Mu smiled.

Leveling up was easy for him, but enhancing his Spiritual Power, especially a leap forward, was more difficult.

Under normal circumstances, he might only be able to break through when his level reaches the God Rank.

Fortunately, under the pressure of the Pool of Destruction, Qing Mu's Spiritual Power finally crossed that threshold, completing the transformation from being infinitely close to God Rank to truly God Rank.

Upon breaking through to the God Rank, Qing Mu felt as if he had no more limitations. His Spiritual Power began to increase at an almost insane rate, multiplying several times in the blink of an eye.

Even the Pool of Destruction that had previously caused Qing Mu some hardship was no longer a problem.

"Continue refining. This Pool of Destruction not only increases my affinity for the Destruction Power, but it is also extremely effective in training my Spiritual Power."

Then, Qing Mu closed her eyes again.

Time flies, and a year and a half has passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past year and a half, not only has Bulbasaur passed all eight trials of the Sea God, Sea God Affinity has exceeded 100%, but even Qing Mu's parents, Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo, Ye Haitang, and others have passed the first trial Sea God's Light, and are now attempting the second trial.

Meanwhile, Qing Mu's assessment is also nearing its end.

At this moment, the purple water of the Pool of Destruction had become so deep that it was almost dark, and the surrounding grayish-white aura had become so dense that it seemed almost tangible.

A few days later, Qing Mu said with a somewhat grim expression, "Is it still not over? How much longer will this God of Destruction test us?"

This was no longer just a simple aura of Destruction; he felt that this aura of Destruction could undergo some kind of transformation at any moment, at which point even he, in his current state, might not be able to withstand it.

He was certain that this was definitely not a test of God Trial difficulty. Given the current environment within the Pool of Destruction, even some Second-Level God from the Divine Realm might not be able to withstand it. Who would subject someone who hadn't even become a god to such a test?

Even if he's strong, he shouldn't do this, right?

Just then, the aura of Destruction seemed to cross a certain critical point and began to liquefy.

"Not good!"

Qing Mu's expression changed. He could sense a deadly threat emanating from the condensed liquid. To allow something like this to appear—did the God of Destruction truly intend to torment him to death?

However, the moment Qing Mu was about to run, the Tera Crystal Orb, Mega Stone, Dynamax Band, and Z-Crystal within Qing Mu's body began to resonate wildly, emitting dazzling light.
