Red Top-Tier Eight Trials

At the site of the Sea God's test, Sea Horse Douluo slowly walked to the Sacred Pillar. Facing the pillar, a devout look flashed through his eyes. He then said to Zi Zhenzhu and Ye Han Yue behind him, "One of you, come forward."

Zi Zhenzhu turned to Ye Han Yue and said, "Let me go first."

Ye Han Yue did not think much of it. She had come here to find her master in the first place. It made no difference who took the test first, as long as she could enter Sea God Island and find her master.

Zi Zhenzhu walked behind Sea Horse Douluo.

Sea Horse Douluo slowly raised both hands. A devout expression appeared on his face as he lifted his hands before him, his palms separated by half a foot. Before long, a faint blue light slowly appeared between his palms, gradually growing brighter.

When the blue light filled Sea Horse Douluo's palms, it suddenly burst forth, filling the entire Sacred Pillar platform with blue radiance. Immediately afterward, blue patterns slowly spread upward along the Sacred Pillar from its base. In the blink of an eye, they reached the top.

Seeing this, Sea Horse Douluo turned around and lightly pointed a finger at Zi Zhenzhu.

A blue pillar of light descended from the sky, instantly enveloping Zi Zhenzhu's body. Zi Zhenzhu felt nothing within the blue pillar of light.

But then, the blue pillar of light began to change. Its color shifted from blue to white, then from white to yellow, and in the blink of an eye, it turned purple.

Watching the color of the pillar enveloping Zi Zhenzhu change, Sea Horse Douluo was deeply puzzled.

"The Sea Serpent martial soul isn't strong, and this girl's talent shouldn't be that impressive."

"Why is it about the same as my aptitude back then? She has the same number of trials as I did."

"That makes no sense."

"She must have encountered some opportunity that improved her talent."

After reaching this conclusion, Sea Horse Douluo considered that this was the sacred land of Sea God Island, so he did not ask the girl about her opportunity. After all, obtaining such an opportunity was also a kind of luck.

At that moment, four beams of purple light shot out and appeared before Zi Zhenzhu, transforming into a light screen. Special golden characters flickered across each layer. The characters on the first light screen were considerably brighter than those on the other three.

The purple light on the Sacred Pillar gradually faded, and everything returned to normal, as if nothing had ever happened there.

Sea Horse Douluo calmly said to Zi Zhenzhu, "Four Purple-Tier Trials, the same as mine back then. You possess the potential to become a Titled Douluo."

Sea Horse Douluo then explained to the two of them, "The aptitude test here isn't merely a test of aptitude."

"It is also a trial bestowed by the Sea God Lord. Some trials have the same colors as soul rings. From lowest to highest, they are white trials, yellow trials, purple trials, black trials, and red top-tier trials."

"Each trial is based on a test for the examinee. Once the test is completed, they will receive a reward from the Sea God Lord."

"The rewards include an increase in soul ring age, soul bones, and Divine Soul Rings."

As the two listened to Sea Horse Douluo's explanation of the Sea God trials, they finally learned that above Titled Douluo was an even higher realm known as godhood.

These gods would search the lower realm for inheritors and pass down their legacies.

Hearing this, Ye Han Yue walked forward and arrived before Sea Horse Douluo. She respectfully said, "Senior Hai Ma, it's my turn. I'm ready to undergo the Sea God's test."

Seeing Ye Han Yue approach, Sea Horse Douluo was delighted. Compared to Zi Zhenzhu, he held much higher hopes for Ye Han Yue.

That was because Sea Horse Douluo could clearly sense that Ye Han Yue was not a Soul King. She was a Quasi-Soul Emperor who had just reached the required level. To force him into such a state despite being at the six-ring Quasi-Soul Douluo realm, one could imagine just how high Ye Han Yue's talent was.

Sea Horse Douluo repeated his previous actions, raising both hands before his chest. A faint blue light appeared in his palms, constantly growing stronger.

He then pointed toward Ye Han Yue.

The blue pillar of light appeared again, enveloping Ye Han Yue's body. Then, under Sea Horse Douluo's incredulous gaze...

The Sea God's Light had no hesitation in crossing the slow transitions from white to yellow and from yellow to purple. It rapidly entered black, but the black demonic patterns continued rising in a straight line.

Seeing this, Sea Horse Douluo exclaimed inwardly, "Damn, this girl's talent is terrifying."

"Why are the soul masters on the continent all so talented?"

"Are we getting old and unable to keep up with the times?"

While Sea Horse Douluo was still marveling at Ye Han Yue's talent...

The black demonic patterns on the Sea God's Light slowly passed the middle of the Sacred Pillar. This already represented a trial surpassing the Black-Tier Six Trials for Ye Han Yue. Yet the black demonic patterns did not stop there. Instead, they continued climbing upward, soon reaching the four-fifths mark.

"My god! Is this for real? Why are this generation's juniors all so talented?"

"The purple trial just now was already astonishing, and now there's even a black trial!"

Seeing how powerful Ye Han Yue's talent was, Sea Horse Douluo wore an utterly despairing expression.

But just then, the demonic patterns that had stopped suddenly began surging upward again. The black demonic patterns covering the Sacred Pillar instantly changed color, turning blood-red like fresh blood.

A red beam of light shot into the sky, piercing straight upward. The bloodlike radiance stabbed into the heavens, dyeing the blue sky a deep crimson.

Across Sea God Island, countless gazes turned toward the sky. At the same time, five other Sacred Pillars from elsewhere on Sea God Island flew over. The six Sacred Pillars stared at the red pillar of light with intense, disbelieving radiance in their eyes, almost simultaneously speaking the same words.

"Top-Tier Eight Trials!"

"Top-Tier Eight Trials!"

"Top-Tier Eight Trials!"

"Top-Tier Eight Trials!"

"Top-Tier Eight Trials!"

At that moment, Bo Saixi, who had been resting in her room at noon, was also awakened by the sudden appearance of the red light. She opened her beautiful eyes and looked toward the distant red pillar of light. A faint look of astonishment—and delight—appeared on her face.

Bo Saixi slowly rose from her bed and flew toward the red pillar of light.

At the same time, Hai Long Douluo, who had just finished lunch with Li Changsheng, also noticed the red pillar of light in the distance. A possibility instantly flashed through his mind, growing more and more likely.

Hai Long Douluo turned around and bowed to Li Changsheng. "Mr. Li, something urgent has suddenly come up."

"I can't accompany you any longer. I have to go see what's happening at the red pillar of light."

"I'll take my leave."

Seeing this, Li Changsheng cast a deep look at the red pillar of light that had suddenly appeared in the distance, then waved his hand. "Go. Don't worry about me."

After hearing Li Changsheng's reply, Hai Long Douluo immediately flew toward the red pillar of light. He marveled inwardly, "Could Sea God Island be about to see another genius like the High Priest?"

Watching Hai Long Dououo depart, Li Changsheng fell into thought, the corners of his mouth curving upward slightly.
