In front of Sea God Temple, the sea breeze carried a salty and humid smell, but it could not conceal the tension and murderous intent gradually rising in the air.
Yu Tianling is sitting cross-legged in the center of the Sea God test light beam. Third Trial has been officially opened. The test content appears as follows: in the core area of Sea God Island In "Sea God Illusory Killing Formation", persist for one hour, resist the phantom killing power arranged by Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians, and at the same time cannot cause actual damage to the guardian. This test is designed to test control and adaptability to divine power.
Bo Saixi, holding Sea God Trident, stood outside the formation and watched coldly. "This level is much more difficult than the previous two levels. Sea God Illusory Killing Formation combines the rules of the sea with the power of Seven Sacred Pillars. If you cannot control your own divine power, it will bite you back."
Yu Tianling opened his eyes, and the three colors of gold, red and black light were flowing in his eyes. "Thank you for reminding me. Sir, I will accept this test."
The formation was activated, and the seven-color light instantly enveloped him. In the illusion, the shadow of Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians appeared at the same time, and every attack contained the suppression of Sea God rules - Sea Dragon Douluo's violent thunder, Sea Illusion Douluo's mental illusion, Sea Horse Douluo's defense increase... the combined power of seven people is far more powerful than a single Limit Douluo.
Yu Tianling was not in a hurry to counterattack, but immediately launched Dragon Phoenix Domain·Absolute Suppression. Divine Power Seed's maturity level had reached 81%. After the domain was opened, the rules of Sea God within a radius of one kilometer were forcibly distorted, and part of the phantom killing power was directly decomposed and absorbed by Ancient Dragon Devouring Rule.
"Dragon Phoenix Nirvana·Control killing!" He shouted, and Phoenix Karmic Fire turned into a fine fire net to accurately burn the phantom's attack trajectory, but did not harm the guardian's body; the power of the ancient dragon formed a black hole vortex, swallowing the overflowing Sea God Divine Power residue, and feeding back to itself.
The system prompt sounded in my mind, "Third Trial is in progress. The resonance degree of Dragon Phoenix Divine Power and Sea God Divine Power has increased to 28%. Divine Power Seed maturity +1%, currently 82%."
Bo Saixi frowned. She could clearly feel that Yu Tianling was not only defending, but also taking the opportunity to plunder Sea God Island's power of rules. The devouring speed was far beyond her expectation.
"Sacred Pillar Guardian, increase the intensity of the formation!" Bo Saixi ordered.
Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians exerted force at the same time, and the power of the phantom killing array increased dramatically. A huge wave of 100 meters was set off on the sea surface, and the power of thunder, phantom, and freezing were intertwined.
Yu Tianling's body moves around in the formation like Gui Mei. Ancient Heavenly Phoenix's speed allows him to easily avoid most fatal attacks, while Ancient Void Dragon's defense resists the remaining impacts. The occasional counterattack is accurately controlled within the range of "breaking the formation without hurting anyone".
A quarter of an hour later, Yu Tianling suddenly accelerated, and Dragon Phoenix Fusion Skill's third form "Burn the Heavens and Devour the Sea" was launched in a small area. Phoenix Karmic Fire burned the phantom of the array eye, and the ancient dragon swallowed a trace of Sea God's origin that directly extracted the core of the array. The entire phantom killing array shook violently, and obvious cracks appeared.
"No!" Sea Illusion Douluo exclaimed, but it was too late.
Yu Tianling seized the opportunity and broke through the core of the formation in one fell swoop. It only took forty minutes to complete Third Trial.
The test light beam dissipated and he floated out, his aura more condensed and deeper than before.
"Third Trial completed." Bo Saixi said in a low voice, "The speed at which you passed... exceeded my expectations. But remember, every time you pass a test, your threat to Sea God Island increases by one point."
Yu Tianling handed over his hand and said, "Your honor is too great. My purpose has always been cooperation, not destruction. If Sea God Island is willing to remain neutral, I can guarantee that we will be given maximum autonomy after reunification, and even share some of mainland Soul Ring's resources."
At this moment, Ghost Elder entered Yu Tianling's mind through a special Soul Power message: "His Highness the Holy Son, the external battle situation has changed. Light Alliance's maritime reinforcement fleet has approached the Sea God Island sea area. The remnants of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Star Luo Empire White Tiger Legion is composed of elites and is expected to arrive in two hours. Miss Gu Na and Miss Zhu Zhuqing are creating greater chaos as planned, trying to lure Bo Saixi to split up."
Yu Tianling quickly adjusted his strategy in his mind, but remained calm on the outside. "Sir, there seems to be movement outside the island. How about we temporarily cease the war and jointly deal with external threats?"
Bo Saixi snorted coldly and pointed the trident to the sea, "I have already sensed it. Those people are coming for you, right? Want to kill someone with a borrowed knife?"
"Your Majesty," Yu Tianling said calmly, "But if Light Alliance uses Sea God Island's power to deal with the Spirit Hall, the ultimate victim will still be Sea God Island. I suggest that we join forces to repel the enemy for the time being, and it is not too late to continue the test."
Bo Saixi weighed it for a moment, and finally nodded. "Yes. But all your people must withdraw from the combat area, and Sea God Island's main force will deal with it."
Secretly, Yu Tianling transmitted messages to Gu Na and Zhu Zhuqing: "According to backup plan B. Create an illusion to make the Light Alliance fleet think that we are attacking Sea God Island with all our strength, luring them deep. Then attack its rear supply line from the flanks and weaken its effective strength."
Fighting soon broke out offshore.
The Light Alliance fleet is headed by elder Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and commander White Tiger Legion. Soul Power has strong fluctuations. As soon as they arrive, they release a signal and try to communicate with Sea God Island got in touch. "Sir Bo Saixi! The Spirit Hall Holy Son intends to seize Sea God Inheritance, please Sea God Island help us fight together!"
Bo Saixi led Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians out of the island to fight. Sea God Trident waved, the rules of the sea were instantly mobilized, and the huge waves turned into countless water dragons and rushed towards Yu Tianling's fleet.
Yu Tianling cooperated with the defense on the surface, but in fact secretly commanded the flanking fleet to surround the rear. Gu Na mobilized the deep Sea Soul Beast group to launch a surprise attack from the bottom of the sea, while Zhu Zhuqing's Shadow Squad sneaked into the enemy supply ship and destroyed the grain and Soul Power crystal reserves.
The naval battle entered a fever pitch.
Yu Tianling took action personally, and the phantom of Dragon Phoenix unfolded to fight against Bo Saixi's trident. "Dragon Phoenix Breaks the Sea!" The golden, red, and black light beam tore through the sea surface and collided head-on with Sea God's Power. The two divine powers clashed, and large areas of the sea space were shattered.
Bo Saixi became more and more frightened the more he fought. "The speed of your divine power growth... is too fast!"
During the fierce battle, Yu Tianling took the opportunity to absorb a trace of Sea God's rule residue, and Divine Power Seed's maturity level steadily climbed to 84%.
On the periphery, the operations of Gu Na and Zhu Zhuqing were extremely successful. The rear of the Light Alliance fleet suddenly suffered heavy losses, the supply line was broken, and morale plummeted. Commander White Tiger Legion was forced to order a partial retreat.
"Withdraw! Take shelter for now!" The Alliance fleet began to retreat.
When Bo Saixi saw this, he said to Yu Tianling in a cold voice, "I will take credit for you this time. But the next test will not be so easy."
The content of Fourth Trial will come soon: Fight alone against the ancient Sea Soul Beast guardian in the Sea God Island forbidden area - a Deep Sea Demonic Dragon of Half-Step God Level, and defeat it within a time limit instead of killing it.
Yu Tianling entered the forbidden area and showed no fear when facing Deep Sea Demonic Dragon, which was over 500 meters in size. Dragon Phoenix Martial Soul completely manifested itself, and the shadow that covered the sky and the dragon launched an earth-shattering battle.
Phoenix Karmic Fire burned the demon dragon's scales, and the ancient dragon swallowed and extracted its essence. The aftermath of the collision between the two sides made the entire Sea God Island tremble slightly.
The battle lasted for half an hour. Yu Tianling relied on a higher level of divine control to finally force the dragon back with severe damage. Fourth Trial came through again.
Divine Power Seed maturity increased to 87%.
After returning to the temple, Yu Tianling immediately conducted a strategic review with Ghost Elder: "Light Alliance's temptation has been repelled, but they will inevitably come back. Notify everyone Lu Headquarters, ask Teacher Bibi Dong to increase the border pressure on Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empire, forcing them not to fully support Sea God Island."
"In addition, Zhu Zhuqing, you continue to infiltrate Sea God Island's internal intelligence and look for the specific location of Sea God Inheritance's formation eye. Gu Na, the deep Sea Soul Beast group remains on standby, preparing to serve as a key variable in the event of Fifth Trial."
Bo Saixi stood high in the temple, looking at the back of Yu Tianling, with a trace of real fear appearing in her eyes for the first time. She secretly sent a message to Sea God Island to hide her trump card, preparing to block it with all her strength in the subsequent test.
Yu Tianling stood on the beach, looking at the rough sea, with a clear strategic blueprint in his mind:
"After two or three more tests, Sea God Godhood will be up for grabs. By then, with the two gods in hand, the alliance of the Light Alliance will completely collapse. The final battle to unify the continent is about to begin."
Inside and outside the island, both sides are secretly adjusting their deployments, and a larger strategic storm is brewing.
