Sea God Island, Sacred Pillar Heritage Holy Land, Sea God Hall Front Square.
Since the three Sacred Pillars, Begonia Douluo, Halberd Douluo, and Sea Cucumber Douluo, have fallen on the mainland one after another, Sea Turtle Douluo has not recovered from his serious injuries, and Sea God Island has not suffered such a heavy blow in thousands of years, let alone losing so many Sacred Pillar Guardians at once.
Sacred Pillar cannot be left vacant. This is the key to maintaining the foundation of Sea God Island and communicating with Sea God Divine Power. Therefore, although the grief is not over, High Priest still has to endure the grief, follow the ancient rituals, and start "Sacred Pillar Divine Selection".
The ceremony will select a new Sacred Pillar Guardian from the Sea God Island's most pious elites whose cultivation has reached the peak of Soul Douluo or the Titled Douluo realm, trying to inherit the three fading Sacred Pillar inheritances.
Above the square, there are seven towering huge Sacred Pillar phantoms, among which the three representing Begonia Douluo, Halberd Douluo, and Sea Cucumber Douluo shine the brightest. It's dim. Dozens of candidates who have passed preliminary screening, wearing sacrificial robes representing different Sacred Pillar tendencies, kneel on the ground with solemn expressions, accepting the induction and test of Sacred Pillar's remaining spiritual thoughts.
High Priest stood at the top of the jade steps in front of the Sea God Hall, holding Sea God Scepter in his hand, with vast divine power flowing all over his body. His eyes were slightly closed, and he recited ancient prayers in his mouth to guide the ceremony.
On the periphery, there are many Soul Master and believers of Sea God Island. They hold their breaths and witness this sacred and heavy moment. In their eyes, they mourn for the deceased and look forward to the new Sacred Pillar.
However, at the most critical point of High Priest's prayer, the three dim Sacred Pillar began to tremble slightly, and a subtle but crucial rudiment of divine power connection was vaguely established with the candidates with the strongest sensitivity below -
A sudden change occurred!
Three extremely dim and almost transparent gray shadows appeared in the sky above the square without warning, appearing above the heads of the three candidates who had the clearest connection with Sacred Pillar and were almost preset as the successors of the next generation of Sacred Pillar!
The gray shadow was so light that people almost thought it was Illusion. But everyone present, especially the powerful Mental Power and High Priest himself, were all at the moment when it appeared.
"What?!" High Priest opened his eyes suddenly, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his vast divine power burst out instantly, trying to block the three gray shadows. Sea God Scepter's hand burst out with a dazzling blue-gold divine light, turning into three solid chains of divine power, and rolled towards the gray shadows!
However, the speed of those three gray shadows.
"Pfft."
An extremely slight sound came from the bodies of the three candidates.
Just when the chain of High Priest's divine power was about to touch the gray shadow, the bodies of the three candidates, like pencil drawings erased by an eraser, instantly became transparent. The solemn and solemn expressions on their faces with a sense of sacred mission had not had time to change, and all traces of their existence, including their bodies, Spirit Empire, Soul Power, and even the sacrificial robes they were wearing, dissipated the moment the gray shadow touched them.
In place, only three small areas were left that were slightly lighter in color than the surrounding ground, as if they had been permanently "bleached" by some force, as well as the palpitating, pure sense of "nothingness" Annihilation that remained in the air.
The three most promising Sacred Pillar candidates were obliterated in an unbelievable and extremely clean way right in front of the temple shrouded by Sea God Divine Power, under the eyes of High Priest, Limit Douluo. Not even a trace of dust was left.
There was deathly silence inside and outside the square. Everyone was stunned by this sudden and terrifying scene that exceeded their cognition, and their minds went blank.
After a brief moment of shock and disbelief, High Priest's face instantly turned red, and then turned livid again. His hand holding Sea God Scepter trembled slightly, not because of fear, but because of extreme anger and the humiliation of being completely provoked!
He suddenly raised his head, and the vast sea of Mental Power mixed with Sea God Divine Power swept through every inch of space around him like a furious wave, trying to uncover the despicable attacker hiding in the dark!
"Kraken--!!!"
A roar that sounded like a wounded Lion roared out from High Priest's mouth. The sound shook the whole island, and even the clouds in the sky were shaken away! His eyes were about to burst, and his eyes were burning with enough rage to burn mountains and seas, and a burning murderous intent.
"It's you again! You lingering beast of the deep sea! It's been thousands of years! Every Sacred Pillar selection, every inheritance key, you have to jump out and disrupt the situation! Use your dirty and shady methods, sneak attacks, assassinations, sabotage! Do you really think that I, Sea God Island, have no one? Do you think that I, Sea God Divine Power, can be bullied?!"
His roar echoed in the square, with endless power and grief. The surrounding Sea God Island Soul Master people finally recovered from the shock, their faces full of grief, anger, fear and common hatred. They all showed their Spirit Empire and looked around warily, but most of them were at a loss - where is the enemy?
However, the answer to High Priest was only an extremely slight, insipid, seemingly devoid of any emotion, but a thought echo that clearly sounded over the square, or in the depths of the consciousness of High Priest and all Mental Power who had reached a certain level:
"Old man, hasn't it been this way for thousands of years?"
That thought was shockingly calm, as if it was just stating an ordinary fact, with a deep-seated mockery and disregard for the sacred ritual of Sea God Island.
"The sneak attack is over. If I don't run away, why don't I stay and drink tea with you?"
Before he finished speaking, and without even giving High Priest any chance to lock or track, the idea just as it appeared, disappeared without any warning and completely.
High Priest's divine power and Mental Power were like Angry Sea's violent waves, washing and searching around repeatedly, but they could never catch any tail of the attacker. The opponent was like a drop of water melting into the sea, and a wisp of wind dissipated in the sky, leaving no trace.
"Bang!"
High Priest The jade steps under his feet were cracked like Spider Web by his out-of-control divine power. His chest heaved violently, his face turned from green to white, then from white to red, and finally turned into a terrifying deathly silence.
He knew that the other party had succeeded again. Once again, under his nose, he used the most provocative way to severely damage the foundation and face of Sea God Island, and then walked away.
The ceremony of Sacred Pillar Divine Selection was forced to be interrupted. The three most promising successors died, which also caused an immeasurable blow to the confidence in the remaining candidates and the induction of Sacred Pillar. In a short period of time, it may be difficult for a new Sacred Pillar to be born smoothly. The vacancy of Sea God Island's combat power will be further extended.
"Transmit the order..." After a long time, High Priest spoke slowly, his voice hoarse, but with a Ice Seal-like determination, "The entire island has entered the highest state of martial law. All Soul Master who are performing tasks outside, be extra careful. Record today's events in detail and report to Lord Sea God."
"Kraken..." He looked to the west, at the deep and boundless ocean, with the murderous intent in his eyes almost solidified, "This hatred, this humiliation... Sea God Island and you will fight until death!"
