Journey to Sea God Island
There's no need to give this kind of person a chance to beg for mercy; just kill them.
Hydel stared with bloodshot eyes, then collapsed to the ground with some resentment. He wanted to say something, but found that he couldn't utter a single word.
Zhu Zhuqing didn't say anything either. These people deserved to die. They used the guise of going to sea to wantonly slaughter passing merchants and civilians, which was enough to show that they had committed heinous crimes. It was best to just kill them directly.
Lin Yuan withdrew his Martial Soul and said, "Senior Tang Chen, please lead the way from now on. None of us have been to Sea God Island before."
Tang Chen nodded without saying anything, and threw all the bodies into the sea. He then steered the Sea Demon toward Sea God Island.
With his perception of this place, he naturally knew its exact location, but it would still take some time before he could reach the deepest part of the ocean, Sea God Island!
After traveling for half a month, the three of them successfully arrived at the area where Sea God Island was located, where there were many signs of Soul Beast activity.
Many high-level Soul Beast could be seen roaming around the area, but none of them attacked the ships there.
They seemed somewhat wary of the three people on the boat.
Most of the Soul Master on Sea God Island are suited for naval combat.
Even a mere Sea Soul Master Soul Douluo level can destroy a Land Soul Master at the Titled Douluo level in the ocean.
Sea God Island is the sacred ground for Sea Soul Master and a place to worship the Sea God. This enormous island is four hundred miles in diameter, demonstrating its vast size.
Moreover, there is a mountain on Sea God Island called Sea God Mountain.
On Sea God Mountain, there is a long staircase for Soul Master to complete their test – "Crossing, the Sea God's Light".
Inside Sea God Island, there are also seven Sacred Pillar platforms and Sacred Pillar of varying sizes, corresponding to the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians, and the palace where the Great Enshrined Bo Saixi and her maidens resided— the Sea God Hall.
The Spirit Hall once sent two thousand Soul Master to this island in an attempt to recruit them. However, none returned. Under the cover of the Angel Legion, fewer than a hundred survived, and two Titled Douluo were also lost there.
Most land-based Soul Master worship the Angel God, and the Spirit Hall is dedicated to the Angel God, thus receiving worship from land-based Soul Master.
Sea Soul Master also have their own beliefs, but in this respect, Sea Soul Master beliefs are not a sect, but a god, the Sea God.
Every Sea Soul Master believes that the Sea God truly exists; he is the ancestor of Sea Soul Master and rules over everything in the sea.
Like the Spirit Hall, the Sea Soul Master worship the Sea God on Sea God Island, where they are protected by the Sea God Sea Soul Master.
It is under the protection of the Sea God that Sea Soul Master are able to possess powerful abilities and control the power derived from the sea.
Perhaps, for land-based Soul Master, the Angel God of the Spirit Hall isn't necessarily a form of faith. However, for Sea Soul Master, the Sea God is their faith.
No Sea Soul Master dared to blaspheme the Sea God.
Tang Chen looked at the islands that were gradually appearing in the distance, a look of excitement appearing on his face. He then shrugged and said:
"The Sea Soul Master living on Sea God Island must undergo a test when they turn eighteen. Those who pass the test can stay on Sea God Island to serve Lord Sea God. Otherwise, they will be expelled from Sea God Island. If the test is too difficult, they may even die during the test."
Zhu Zhuqing and Lin Yuan exchanged a glance; they both knew about this matter.
The trials on Sea God Island are quite different, and different people experience completely different tests.
For some people, the test is very simple, as simple as going into the sea and picking up a seashell.
However, some people face extremely difficult trials, requiring them to withstand attacks from the Great Enshrined. The trials vary from person to person. Generally speaking, they are related to the strength of the person being tested.
The Great Enshrined of each generation, acting as messengers of the Sea God, led the most powerful Sea Soul Master to worship the Lord Sea God on Sea God Island.
Every Soul Master who arrives on Sea God Island must undergo a test. This test is not given by the Soul Master on Sea God Island, but by Lord Sea God.
Anyone who passes the test, whether a native Sea God Island Sea Soul Master or any other Soul Master from elsewhere, is forbidden from leaving Sea God Island for life. Otherwise, they will bear the wrath of the Sea God.
The difficulty of the tests also varies. Like the colors of the Soul Ring, from lowest to highest, they are white-level tests, yellow-level tests, purple-level tests, Black Level Assessment, and the top-level red test.
The assessment for land-based Soul Master is much more difficult than that for Sea Soul Master; Sea Soul Master complete their assessment every ten years, while land-based Soul Master only have one year.
"Who goes there? How dare you trespass on Sea God Island! Get out of here at once!"
As a deafening sound suddenly rang out, the once tranquil sea suddenly became turbulent, and the surging waves caused subtle changes in the surrounding space.
Lin Yuan gently placed the crystal glass on the carved porthole, the gilded base of the glass making a clear sound as it struck the wooden windowsill.
He slowly walked out of the cabin, the salty sea breeze ruffling his silver hair. He looked up at the surging giant waves, the water curtain tens of meters high crashing down like the fangs of a giant beast, but freezing into ice crystals before touching the deck.
"A frog at the bottom of a well dares to make a rash move?"
Lin Yuan put one hand behind his back, and suddenly a dazzling golden light burst out from his sleeve. The Asura Sword Qi hung up like an inverted Milky Way and crashed down on the waves.
Amidst the deafening roar, the waves transformed into a sky full of mist, and a gray-blue figure appeared from the void, the salty, fishy vapor it brought condensing into beads on the deck.
Her long, grey-blue hair cascaded to the ground like silk, and her high, straight nose exuded an exotic charm. Silver scales were faintly visible beneath her fair skin.
Her grey-blue eyes churned with shock and rage, Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring her body lit up one after another. "Level ninety-nine?!"
Lin Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, his scarlet Soul Power coiling around him like a venomous snake.
When he uttered the word "kneel down" indifferently, the void suddenly twisted, and an invisible pressure pressed down like Mount Tai.
Xiao Bai's knees slammed heavily onto the deck, his bones making a cracking sound as he struggled to keep up with the weight. The Demonic White Shark Martial Soul appeared as a semi-transparent phantom behind him.
"Who are you?!"
Xiao Bai gritted his teeth and struggled, but was suppressed by an even more powerful aura.
"My name is Lin Yuan."
Before he could finish speaking, just as he was about to raise his hand, Tang Chen had already stepped in front of him to block his path.
Sensing the familiar aura of the Clear Sky Hammer, Xiao Bai suddenly looked up, his gray-blue eyes widening instantly.
"Tang Chen?! How could you..."
Tang Chen shook his head with a wry smile, his gaze sweeping over the faintly visible Asura Emblem around Lin Yuan's body, and lowered his voice. "She is the Sea God's mount, you can't touch her."
Lin Yuan nodded slightly, and the oppressive aura around him receded like a tide. Xiao Bai staggered to his feet, his scales cracking with fear, but he still stubbornly glared back.
"Tang Chen, the Great Enshrined has been searching for you for decades!"
