The ice dragon's massive body instantly turned its head in mid-air, its tail lashing out, unleashing a terrifying Dragon Breath that shot directly towards the sphere of light. The two collided, and a terrifying energy explosion erupted instantly, sending the seawater below flying thousands of meters high—a truly earth-shattering scene. The short staff and the sphere of light, however, were also affected by the ice dragon's power, dissipating in mid-air.
"This..." Bo Saixi's eyes widened in horror, "This is impossible..."
"Nothing is impossible." Jun Yi's calm voice rang out. "Do you think being the protector of the Sea God Inheritance is so easy?" As Jun Yi's voice rang out, his figure appeared in mid-air, surrounded by hundreds of enormous ice dragons. Each ice dragon exuded a terrifying pressure, as if it were the most terrifying existence in the world.
" Bo Saixi, I know you still care about Tang Chen. Well, I have good news for you: he's dead. He died at my hands."
After saying that, Jun Yi raised his hand and directly took control of Bo Saixi. Then, raging ice flames erupted from her body, and under Jun Yi's control, she transformed into a small trident, which looked similar to the Sea God Trident in Zhu Zhuqing's hand.
"Ha, it's merely Godhood being taking human form and developing its own consciousness. Do you really think you'll possess the ability to inherit Godhood like a human?"
Jun Yi made a sarcastic remark, then directly merged the small trident into Zhu Zhuqing's body.
Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Power increased at a visible rate; in the blink of an eye, she broke through to level 99. The next moment...
Behind her, the trident slowly floated, radiating a sacred light.
The Soul Ring on Zhu Zhuqing's body slowly emerged, one after another the three black and six red Soul Ring dissipated, and all the power appeared on her back, transforming into seven azure divine God Ring.
It hovered continuously in mid-air.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing became the true Sea God.
Her body seemed to merge with the Sea God Godhood, and the seven God Ring seemed to be formed from the pure Sea God's Power, constantly swirling in mid-air.
" Zhu Zhuqing, the God Trial is complete. You have now become a true Sea God," Jun Yi said softly.
"What... what exactly is going on?" Zhu Zhuqing's face was full of confusion. She had been completely baffled by the conversation between Jun Yi and the High Priest, and she didn't understand what they meant at all.
"We'll talk about that later. Right now, we need to help you adapt to the Sea God's Power."
In the Divine Realm, in the Sea God Temple, the Sea God suddenly sensed that his Godhood had been passed down. Filled with excitement, he quickly summoned his friend Water God, to share this good news.
" Si Shui, my Godhood has been fully passed on, and I can finally leave the Divine Realm." The Sea God's face revealed...
Excited look. "You have good judgment, but I didn't expect to let you go first." Water God Si Shui smiled, and then a trace of worry appeared on his face, "Although the current God Realm looks very calm on the surface, in fact, there are undercurrents. The God King of Destruction has killed Shura God. Without a God King, the pattern of the God Realm will soon change."
The Sea God nodded. "Yes, that's why many gods, like us, have chosen to descend and pass on their inheritances, wanting to leave the Divine Realm directly and escape this chaos. Some gods have even lowered their standards for successors and set the difficulty of the God Trial extremely low, all in order to escape the Divine Realm as quickly as possible and save their lives."
"After all, it was God King died this time. The original balance has been broken, and war is bound to break out. The Seven Deadly Sins Gods under the command of Destruction are already getting impatient and have begun to recruit neutral gods for the Destruction God King."
The Water God Si Shui and said, "A few days ago, the God of Sloth approached me, wanting me to join the ranks of the Destruction God King. I used the excuse that I was about to leave the Divine Realm to avoid him."
"So, the Destruction God King has already extended his reach to us?" The Sea God frowned slightly. He had been paying close attention to the struggle between the God King, but he hadn't expected that the Destruction God King would take the initiative to attack as soon as the Asura God died.
The Water God Si Shui. "It seems the Destruction God King doesn't want to fall out with the other gods over the God King; what he wants is to control the entire Divine Realm."
Sea God fell silent for a long time, then gave a relieved smile and said, "Fortunately, I'm leaving soon, so these matters are no longer within my consideration."
"That's true, but you're quite clever to choose to leave your Godhood in the mortal realm. When someone inherits the Godhood, you can simply leave," the Water God laughed.
"It's alright, don't worry. The successor I found for you is just as talented as my successor. Trust me, just lower your Godhood. Within three days, your successor will definitely be able to absorb you. Then, we can both leave the Divine Realm together and wash our hands of it. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
The Water God pondered for a moment, then nodded. "In that case, let's do as you say. After all, I don't want to stay in the Divine Realm for even a second longer." The Water God then separated a transparent droplet of Si Shui from his body, and his aura instantly weakened. He then waved his hand, sending the droplet into the lower realm. The Water God's body trembled slightly, and he almost collapsed.
Seeing this, the Sea God quickly helped the Water God up, saying, "It seems your cultivation is still insufficient. Without Divine Power, you can't even stand steadily."
"Yes, unlike you, you freak. Even without the Godhood itself and without relying on Godhood power, your strength is no weaker than that of First-Level God. It seems I'll need your help from now on," the Water God teased.
"It's alright. From now on, I'll protect you in the starry sky."
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Douluo Continent, Jun Yi had brought Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing back to the Papal Palace. He also told Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing about Bo Saixi's inner thoughts and the reason for the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's breakthrough.
"No wonder when Sister Zhu Zhuqing took the Sea God's Nine Trials, Bo Saixi's eyes flashed with murderous intent. I thought I was seeing things at the time, but I didn't expect that she actually wanted to kill Zhu Zhuqing," Dugu Yan sighed.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing trembled. She had always regarded Bo Saixi as a dedicated senior, but she never expected that Poseidon would try to kill her. She looked at Jun Yi standing beside her with some lingering fear. If Jun Yi hadn't arrived in time, she might have really been in danger.
"That's normal. The Ninth Trial of the Sea God requires Bo Saixi to sacrifice her Life. She's definitely unwilling, after all, no one is as composed as Senior Qian Daoliu. Of course, if Bo Saixi were to sacrifice herself for Tang Chen's descendant, she'd probably be willing."
