Sea God Island, Sacred Mountain top, Worship Hall.
Seven Sacred Pillar thrones stood solemnly, two of which were obviously dim - the Sea Ghost seat was cracked and spread, and the Haima seat was dim. The atmosphere in the hall was solemn, and the haze left over from the tragic victory in the deep sea three years ago seemed to have once again enveloped the heart with today's strange black thunder.
Sea Dragon Douluo is sitting on the throne, with a body as bronze as a mountain. The majesty of High Priest who has been in charge of it for nearly a hundred years cannot be erased at this moment. The deep mark between his eyebrows cannot be erased. Lord Bo Saixi entrusted this ocean to him, but he never thought that something so weird and unpredictable would appear.
"Say." The word he spat out was like thunder rolling across the palace beams.
"It can't be found." Haiwang Douluo's voice sounded like a dull knife scraping bones. "It's not at the scene, and it's not on any observable track. That Lightning Tribulation seems to have grown out of thin air from the darkest place in the deep sea."
"Can't find it?!" Sea Spear Douluo suddenly took a step forward, the jade ground shattered like Spider Web under his feet, and the rage in his eyes almost burst out, "That place... I remember it seems to be the place where the poison fell! Sea Ghost The opportunity that and Xiao Bai gave their lives for! Now this kind of thunder has struck there again. Could it be that Soul Beast, who swallowed the poisonous remains, was lucky enough to survive, but instead attracted Heavenly Tribulation?!"
"The center of Lightning Tribulation is 3,700 nautical miles away from the point of annihilation. It is unfathomable." Haiwang Douluo rolled his eyes palely, "That Soul Beast seems to have the same origin as that poison, but it is more... pure and domineering. And its core is indeed wrapped with a weak but tough Soul Beast Life Origin fluctuates and is struggling to survive in Lightning Tribulation."
"Soul Beast Life Origin?" Sea Spear Douluo's pupils shrank suddenly, "Soul Beast swallowed that poison, and not only did he not die, he also survived this kind of obliteration Lightning Tribulation?!"
This is simply unbelievable! They have personally experienced the horror of that poison. Even strong men like Sea Ghost and Xiao Bai were almost destroyed. How could Soul Beast be able to swallow it and not die, but instead transform and survive the tribulation?
"Or..." Sea Dragon Douluo, who had been silent all this time, spoke slowly, his eyes as unpredictable as the deep sea, "The poison itself was not completely eliminated. The remaining part of it was somewhere in the deep sea, and it took three years to corrode, swallow, and fuse with a certain Soul Beast, or... transformed a certain Soul Beast into its new carrier and new form. Now, this 'New Poisonous Entity' is about to overcome the tribulation and take shape, and the world cannot tolerate it, so this thunder of obliteration is dropped."
This speculation sent chills down everyone's spine. A "poison" that can corrode and transform other life forms, and may even inherit the characteristics of the host, is more terrifying than the simple poison itself.
The body of the new Sea Ghost Douluo Luo Kes began to tremble violently. The 30% of the poison in his body that had been forcibly imprisoned and refined was like a shark smelling the smell of blood. It was frantically attacking the Soul Power shackles, trying to break out and join the aura of the same origin in the distance! His face turned green and white, his teeth were clenched, and the veins on his forehead popped out, and he was almost unable to suppress it.
"No matter what it is," Sea Dragon Douluo's voice cut through the solemn air in the hall. His eyes swept across the crowd and finally settled on Luo Kes, whose aura was disordered. "The point is, find it and observe it."
He stood up, his huge body bringing invisible pressure. "That Lightning Tribulation was aimed at obliterating it. But it survived, at least, the first wave. This means that this... let's call it '' New Poisonous Entity's Soul Beast not only inherited the strange characteristics of the poison, but its own vitality and potential are also extremely amazing. To be able to survive that kind of obliteration Lightning Tribulation is definitely not comparable to the ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."
He paused, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. "The 'corpse' or remnant of the poison back then should have been completely annihilated by the Annihilation Bolt. Now it seems that it was probably swallowed and fused by this Soul Beast in some unknown way. This may explain why when we were cleaning up the battlefield, we always felt that the 'residue' of the poison had disappeared too cleanly, as if it had been 'licked' by something."
Sea Spear Douluo's eyes flashed sharply. "High Priest means..."
"Find it and observe it." Sea Dragon Douluo repeated, his tone unquestionable, "First, confirm its status, strength, intelligence, and its attitude towards us and Sea God Island. Second, assess the stability and controllability of the 'poison Origin' in its body. Third..."
His eyes fell on Luo Kes who had barely regained his composure. "Look at how it reacts to the homologous power in Luo Kes's body."
"If you can communicate, if you can control, maybe..." Sea Maiden Douluo said in a hoarse voice, with a strange light flashing in his eyes, "This strange Soul Beast that is fused with poison may not be able to become... a special power of my Sea God Island. After all, it can survive in that kind of Lightning Tribulation, and its potential and value are immeasurable."
"What if it can't be done?" Sea Spear Douluo said coldly. He hated the poison to the core and was wary of anything related to it.
"If it cannot communicate, if it is wild and untamable, if the poison in its body is out of control, or if its existence itself has been completely distorted into a monster that only knows destruction..." Sea Dragon Douluo's voice suddenly turned cold, with the coldness of the deep sea Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice, "Then before it has fully grown up, when it has just passed through the tribulation and is at its weakest..."
He held his palms empty, and the temperature in the palace dropped sharply.
"... kill it. Peel off its Soul Ring, Soul Bone, extract the poison Origin from its body, thoroughly study, control, or permanently seal it to avoid future troubles!"
Kill decisively without any delay. This is the way of acting on behalf of High Priest Sea Dragon Douluo.
Luo Kes raised his head suddenly, with a complicated light shining in his eyes - there was both the desire that the poison in the body would find its "home", the instinctive fear of the unknown "New Poisonous Entity", and the determination to complete the mission.
"Sea Concubine," Sea Dragon Douluo began to order, clearly organized, "Use 'Vast Sea Heaven Net', focus on scanning West Sea, Central Deep Sea Communication boundary, especially in sea areas where there have been abnormalities in the past three years or where high-intensity energy has erupted recently. I want to know which Soul Beast is it, when and where it completed this 'fusion'. Be careful to stay hidden and don't alert the enemy."
"Sea Spear, you personally lead the team and select the most elite Sacred Pillar Knight and Demon Soul Great White Shark scouts to form three teams and deploy control outside the target sea area.
Once 'Vast Sea Heaven Net' locks in the general range, immediately conduct secret investigation. Remember, your mission is to observe and evaluate, and it is not my order. You are not allowed to contact without permission, let alone fight! If the target shows signs of aggression or loss of control, withdraw immediately and activate the 'World Purification' plan."
"Hainv, you continue to keep in contact with Pill Tower and urge them to analyze the poison Origin. At the same time, activate our efforts in major The hidden lines in the Soul Beast tribe, especially those who are sensitive to energy or have old grudges with the Deep Sea Demon Whale tribe, collect all information about the powerful and strange new Soul Beast."
Finally, he looked at Luo Kes, his tone was slightly slower, but more solemn. "Luo Kes, your mission is the heaviest and most dangerous. From today on, I will open 'Tidal Secret Realm' for you, in which you try to actively guide and control the poison in your body.
And understand carefully, is the reaction between you and the distant 'source', is it attraction? Is it repulsion? Is it the desire for integration? Or... fear? I want you to be the bridge between us and the 'New Poisonous Entity', and also the most important basis for us to judge its 'nature'. Do you understand?"
Luo Kes took a deep breath, suppressed the poison surging in his body, knelt on one knee, and said in a hoarse but firm voice, "I understand! I will live up to High Priest's trust, test the poison with myself, and find a way forward for the island of God!"
"Okay." Sea Dragon Douluo looked around the crowd and said in a loud voice, "Remember, our primary goal is observation and evaluation. Although the poison is weird, Soul Beast that can survive its corrosion, even fuse and cause Heavenly Tribulation, may hide secrets that we have not yet understood, or even... some kind of opportunity. But if it is uncontrollable..."
A cold light flashed in his eyes. "The majesty of Sea God Island cannot be provoked. The order of the sea cannot be destroyed. Kill when necessary, without mercy!"
"I will obey the order of High Priest!" The four people agreed in unison, and a murderous atmosphere filled the hall.
After everyone left, Sea Dragon Douluo stood alone in front of the crystal window, looking at the vast blue waves outside the window.
"Master Bo Saixi," he whispered to himself, "You often say that the vastness of the sea lies in its ability to accommodate eternal treasures and educate all living beings. Even the darkest abyss has its own meaning."
He opened his palms, and a very thin and light black aura, but full of ominous and withered meaning, appeared in his palms - this was a trace of poisonous sample that was barely peeled off from the Origin that Sea Ghost Douluo collapsed three years ago. It has been blocked and suppressed layer by layer by his Vast Sea Soul Power.
"But if this darkness wants to swallow up the light, wants to replace order..." He slowly clenched his fist and crushed the wisp of black energy in his palm. There was no hesitation in his eyes, only a depth that was extremely cold.
"Then let him know what...Sea God's Wrath."
