The faces of the four people Coral Douluo, Sea Swallow, Conch Douluo, and Ye Yang are sometimes distorted by extreme pain, and sometimes flushed by the surge of power. Their bodies are in a state of wonder. Under the wash of power, a transformation visible to the naked eye took place - there was a hidden treasure flowing under the skin, a subtle buzzing sound of reshaping came from the bones, the meridians were forcibly widened and strengthened, Soul Power violently expanded and solidified under the infusion of divine power, emitting terrifying fluctuations far beyond before.
High Priest held the scepter and stood at the altar. His face was paler than before, and even showed a hint of defeat. He forcibly guided such a massive amount of divine power to initiate the four people, even with The assistance of Heart of the Sea God and the altar array was a huge drain and burden on himself. However, his eyes were still as sharp as an eagle, closely watching the status of the four people, constantly fine-tuning the intensity and flow of the divine power to ensure that the initiation process would not go out of control.
I don't know how long it took.
"Buzz--!"
Four Soul Power pressures so powerful that the space trembled slightly erupted from the bodies of the four people almost at the same time! The blue light cocoon surrounding them exploded, turning into a rain of light in the sky, and was absorbed by them in an instant!
The four of them slowly opened their eyes. In the depths of their eyes, there seemed to be a deep ocean whirlpool flashing past, shining with light. The aura around them had undergone earth-shaking changes, although they could still identify their Spirit Empire Characteristics, but the "quantity" and "quality" of Soul Power are completely different! Vast, condensed, with a hint of sacred majesty, it has reached the realm of Level 98!
However, upon closer inspection, there are subtle differences in the states of the four of them. Leaf Sheep Douluo's aura is the most stable and harmonious, while Holy Light Sea Fern's shadow is looming behind her, exuding a soft divine light that heals and Purification all things, and seems to be the most perfectly integrated with Sea God's Power.
The air flow around Sea Swallow Douluo is looming, the extreme speed seems to blend into the space, and the eyes are as sharp as electricity. The color of Tide Sound Conch in Conch Douluo's hand becomes deeper and simpler, and the fluctuation of the rhythm seems to resonate with the soul. And Coral Douluo... Her Phantom Color Coral light became more blurry and changing, and the control force field loomed, but if you look closely, you can find a trace of darkness and instability deep in her eyes that is extremely difficult to detect. It was a subtle crack caused by the combination of forced ascension and violent conflict in her mind, but she was forcibly suppressed.
"How do you feel?" High Priest's voice was tired, but more concerned.
The four people landed slowly, and after a brief moment of sensing themselves, shock, surprise, and a hint of indescribable complexity appeared on their faces. Power. Unprecedentedly powerful power was flowing through the body. This was a real improvement. But at the same time, they also vaguely felt that there was an indescribable "stagnation" and "emptiness" in the operation of Soul Power, as if the power did not entirely belong to them, and there was a vague feeling of emptiness at the foundation. In the future... perhaps, as High Priest said, a price needs to be paid.
"Thank you High Priest for making it happen!" The four of them saluted in unison, with awe of the power and concern about the cost in their voices.
High Priest nodded slightly, without saying much, his eyes fell on Sea Swallow Douluo, and said in a deep voice, "Sea Swallow, you are the fastest Seven Sacred Pillars, now Take it to the next level. On this mission, it is very important to meet the arrival of Shrek. The four of you go together and take care of each other. But if... if on the way back, you encounter that evil beast Kraken again..."
He paused, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and his tone was decisive. "You don't need to hesitate, immediately leave the battlefield as quickly as possible, and rush back to Sea God Island at all costs to report the news! By then... I will personally go to 'pick up' him!"
"In person?" Sea Swallow Douluo was surprised, "High Priest, you..."
"It doesn't matter." High Priest waved his hand, a trace of determination flashed between his eyebrows, "This old bone of mine can still hold on. Sea God Island, I can't bear it again Sacred Pillar's has been damaged. Remember, your first task is to get Shrek's people to arrive safely, and to find out their attitude and details. If nothing can be done, the most important thing is to protect yourself and the information. Do you understand?"
"Yes! I understand!" Sea Swallow Douluo nodded heavily.
"Okay, time is running out." High Priest took one last look at the four people whose auras had changed drastically, especially his gaze lingered on Coral Douluo's face for a moment longer. "Go, don't keep them waiting. Everything... be careful."
"I will obey the decree of High Priest!"
Four streams of light, carrying the majestic aura of Level 98, soared into the sky and galloped away towards the mainland, many times faster than when they came!
High Priest watched them disappear into the sky, then slowly sat down, took out a few pills and drank them. After adjusting his breath for a long time, his pale face returned to a trace of ruddy color. He looked towards the mainland, the worry in his eyes not diminishing.
Douluo Continent, a ruins of a seaside town near Vast Sea City.
The once prosperous wharf town had been reduced to ruins during the war and Evil Soul Master chaos. Only a few relatively intact stone houses were temporarily cleared out and used as strongholds. At this moment, the atmosphere inside the largest stone house was solemn.
There were about five or six people in the house, all wearing clothes with the Shrek Academy emblem, but most of them were worn out and dusty. Their auras were not weak, and they were at least Soul Saint, and three of them had reached the Soul Douluo level!
The leader is an old man with gray hair and eyes as sharp as an eagle. He is a reclusive elder in the inner courtyard of the Shrek Academy, level ninety-three Power Attack System Titled Douluo--Mu Yun! Beside him are two Soul Douluo who are over eighty levels, and three Soul Saint. These are the few high-level combat teams that Shrek Academy can mobilize now and are still capable of action.
Their mission for this trip was to go to a predetermined location and meet up with Sea God Island's responders. This trip originated from a few days ago when the college's senior officials received a subpoena from the Clear Sky Sect through a channel that was extremely Concealment and had verified multiple ancient tokens.
The content of the subpoena was concise, stating that Clear Sky Sect would "secretly pay attention", and provided a safe meeting coordinate and identification token. It was recommended that Shrek contact Sea God Island for later planning.
"Mu En," a Soul Douluo with a sharp face played with a simple token in his hand that was neither gold nor wood, engraved with the intertwined patterns of Clear Sky Hammer and Blue Silver Grass, and whispered in a low voice with doubts in his tone, "You said...'those two', are you really trustworthy? Moreover, it is just an 'announcement', and there is no actual contact."
Mu Yun looked at the token with deep eyes and said slowly, "This token, according to the secret book of the inner courtyard, is confirmed to be one of the tokens left by that person in his early years. There are very few people in the world who can do this. The communication channel has also been verified by several passwords that only the core elders of the past generations know, and it cannot be fake.
As for 'those two'... since the message was sent through the Clear Sky Sect, and it was stated that they were giving 'attention' and 'access' 'for Sea God's sake' and did not ask us to have direct contact, their intention is clear. They... may be watching from a higher place, but they will not directly intervene."
He paused and spoke in a complicated tone, "However, Clear Sky Sect... is the sect of Sea God after all. This kind of help, even if it is indirect and limited, is already a help in times of need under the current situation. I am waiting to contact Sea God Island, and I am also following the guidance of this message.
At present, in the mainland, the remaining sins of Evil Soul Master are yet to be cleared up, 'Holy Sword' colludes with Soul Beast, and elder Xuan Ye has fallen... I, Shrek If we continue to stand on our own laurels, we may be in danger of overthrowing. Using this channel to meet with Sea God Island to find out the situation, and even... to seize the opportunity of God Trial, is a risky move made out of necessity, and it may also be... a glimmer of hope."
When the deaths of "Holy Sword", Soul Beast and Xuan Ye were mentioned, several people's faces showed anger and fear.
"The time is almost up, get ready to go." Mu Yun put away the token and said solemnly.
"Sea God Island, Coral Douluo(Sea Swallow/Conch Douluo/Ye Yang)." The four people simply announced their identities. Coral Douluo glanced at calmly Mu Yun and others, especially when they saw the Clear Sky Token in Mu Yun's hand that had not yet been put away, their eyes moved slightly, but did not say much, "On the order of High Priest, come to respond. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Please follow us to leave immediately and go to a safe place to discuss in detail."
"Thank you, four." Mu Yun put away the token and signaled the team members to pack their bags. Under the escort of four Level 98 Sacred Pillar, they headed towards the planned Concealment coastline.
