Seventh Place on the Golden Rankings Revealed!!

Sea God Island.

Outside the Sea God Hall.

Bo Saixi burst from beneath the sea. Her red dress was torn, and blood stained her fair shoulder.

She braced herself with the Sea God Scepter.

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King hovered above the distant sea, his enormous body raising wave upon wave.

"Bo Saixi."

"I am no longer someone you can stand against."

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King looked down at her.

He had both eyes again.

One was dark blue, the other gold.

Countless tiny pupils slowly turned within the golden eye.

"The power of a Third-Level God."

"And the Eye of God."

"You have grown stronger."

Bo Saixi raised a hand and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

She straightened, her red dress fluttering gently in the sea breeze.

"But you still have no right to run wild on Sea God Island."

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King narrowed his eyes.

"Still talking tough with death at your door."

"Poseidon can no longer descend."

"The Ocean is mine now."

"You are nothing but a mortal without a divine seat."

Bo Saixi raised the Sea God Scepter.

A brilliant blue pillar of light rose once more above the Sea God Hall.

Boundless seawater answered its pull, swirling rapidly around her.

Nine Soul Rings appeared one by one.

Six black Soul Rings were heavy and profound.

Three red Soul Rings radiated overwhelming pressure.

"Who said I had no divine seat?"

Bo Saixi looked toward the distant sky.

Golden words still hung high above.

[Strength Rankings, seventh place: Bo Saixi!]

[High Priestess of Sea God Island, the Sea God's representative, wielder of the Sea God Martial Soul!]

[Level 99 Soul Power, demigod cultivation!]

[Can call upon the Sea God's power and wield the divine Sea God Trident; known as invincible upon the Ocean!]

[Reward: cultivation and strength raised to Third-Level God!]

[Reward: one Cost Exemption Card!]

[After using the Cost Exemption Card, the Ninth Trial of Sea God's Nine Trials can be opened without dying!]

Bo Saixi finished reading the last line, her gaze settling on the Cost Exemption Card.

She had waited far too long for this day.

With this card, she could open Sea God's Nine Trials and live.

"The reward is mine."

Bo Saixi raised her hand.

A golden pillar of light descended from the sky and enveloped her.

The clouds above Sea God Island scattered swiftly.

Vast amounts of Sea God's Power poured into her body.

All nine Soul Rings—six black and three red—blazed at once.

The Soul Power within Bo Saixi began to transform.

The barrier at level 99 shattered on the spot.

Seawater surged outward around Sea God Island, and a golden radiance covered the entire stretch of sea.

Bo Saixi's long hair streamed through the light.

Her aura climbed without pause.

Demigod.

False god.

Third-Level God.

In just a few breaths, she crossed into a higher order of life.

On Sea God Island, Sea Horse Douluo, Sea Dragon Douluo, and the others all looked up.

Sea Horse Douluo's face shone with excitement.

"The High Priestess has broken through."

"She now has the power of a Third-Level God."

The other guardians bowed as well.

"Congratulations, High Priestess!"

"With the High Priestess guarding Sea God Island, it will surely endure forever!"

Bo Saixi slowly opened her eyes.

A faint golden light flowed through them.

The patterns on the Sea God Scepter lit up one by one.

A golden card descended from the pillar of light and stopped before her.

Bo Saixi reached out and caught it.

Ancient Sea God patterns were carved across its surface.

Without hesitation, she absorbed the Cost Exemption Card into her body.

A vast divine presence suddenly spread across the sky above Sea God Island.

It crossed the boundless sea and settled upon Bo Saixi.

The aura of the Ninth Trial of Sea God's Nine Trials began to gather within her.

The Cost Exemption Card had changed a trial that once required her life to open.

Bo Saixi's life force did not weaken in the slightest.

Instead, it grew even stronger.

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King watched, the triumph slowly fading from his eyes.

"How is this possible?"

Bo Saixi tightened her grip on the Sea God Scepter.

"Why do you think the Golden Rankings placed me seventh?"

"Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, after gaining god-level power, you do have the strength to fight me."

"But you are still a little short of destroying Sea God Island."

The sea beneath the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King began to churn.

"Then let's find out!"

He opened his enormous mouth.

Both his eyes lit up at once.

A dark-blue beam and golden divine light met above the sea, merging into a pillar that blotted out the sky and hurtled toward Bo Saixi.

Bo Saixi raised the Sea God Scepter.

The Sea God Trident flew from deep within the Sea God Hall and landed in her hand.

Golden divine light spread outward.

She pointed the trident forward.

The entire sea seemed to part under an invisible force.

The pillar of light split down the middle, skimmed past Bo Saixi, and struck the distant sea.

Boom!

Seawater surged hundreds of feet into the sky.

Bo Saixi stepped forward.

Her figure passed through the curtain of spray and appeared before the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.

The Sea God Trident descended, carrying boundless Sea God's Power.

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King raised a massive claw to block it.

Golden and dark-blue divine power collided with a thunderous crash.

Cracks spread through the space beneath the sea.

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's enormous body recoiled.

Bo Saixi followed close behind.

She swung the Sea God Trident again and again.

Golden blades of light cut through the water and struck the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's scales.

Scale after scale shattered.

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King roared in fury, and the Eye of God unleashed a barrage of golden beams.

Bo Saixi swept her trident, instantly spreading the Sea God Domain.

The golden beams slowed sharply as they entered it.

Bo Saixi darted aside, avoiding most of the attacks.

The beams that struck her were stopped by Sea God Divine Power.

"You may have gained the power of a Third-Level God."

"But your divine power is too mixed, and your foundation is unstable."

Bo Saixi raised the Sea God Trident.

Above Sea God Island, the phantom of a golden ocean slowly appeared.

"And I have guarded Sea God Island for years."

"In these waters, I have the Sea God's recognition."

"You cannot defeat me."

The golden ocean phantom crashed down.

The divine power surrounding the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was suppressed layer by layer.

His enormous body sank steadily.

Seawater pressed in from every direction.

Great swathes of his scales shattered, and blood reddened the nearby sea.

"Damn you!"

He raised the Eye of God.

A thousand rays of golden light erupted at once.

Bo Saixi's Sea God Domain shook violently.

Spiritual Power pierced the domain and struck directly into her Sea of Consciousness.

Bo Saixi froze for an instant.

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King seized the opening and swept his massive tail across.

Bo Saixi raised the trident to block it.

Terrifying force slammed into her.

She flew back hundreds of feet and crashed into the sea.

Sea Horse Douluo and the others on Sea God Island went pale.

The next moment, Bo Saixi burst from the water.

Her dress was soaked through, and strands of hair clung to her shoulders.

Her face was a little pale.

But the Sea God Trident remained steady in her hand.

Bo Saixi looked toward the distant Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.

"That blow was powerful."

"Unfortunately, you still cannot kill me."

The Sea God Trident flew from her hand.

The golden trident streaked across the sea, pierced wave after wave, and drove into the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's side near his shoulder.
