This psychological stimulation is far more terrifying than the oppression brought by the Sea God's Light.
"I'll be away for a while," Xuan Ming said.
"They... I'll leave them to you."
Bo Saixi nodded. "I will take good care of them."
Xuan Ming was about to turn around and go down the mountain when he paused slightly, as if he had suddenly remembered something.
He looked up at the majestic Sea God Hall, his gaze seemingly piercing through the walls and landing on a certain object.
He turned to Bo Saixi, speaking calmly, but his words sent a shiver down Bo Saixi spine. "Could I borrow the Sea God Trident from the Sea God Hall?"
A flicker of surprise and embarrassment crossed Bo Saixi's exquisite face. " The Sea God Trident is a divine artifact left behind by the Sea Lord Sea God, symbolizing Sea God authority and power. No outsider has ever..."
Before she could finish speaking, a gentle yet vast thought resounded directly in her heart—a divine oracle from Sea God Poseidon:
[Allow him.]
Bo Saixi's words trailed off. She looked at Xuan Ming in disbelief, then glanced in the direction of the Sea God Hall. Finally, suppressing the shock in her heart, she bowed slightly. "Since it is the Lord Sea God's decree... please follow me."
She led Xuan Ming into the solemn Sea God Hall.
In the center of the hall, a huge trident, its entire body gleaming gold and its design ancient and majestic, stood silently on the altar, exuding a vast and sacred aura and supreme pressure.
Just by getting close, one can feel that immense power; ordinary Soul Master would probably find it difficult to even look directly at it.
Bo Saixi was about to remind Xuan Ming that the Sea God Trident weighed 108,000 jin and could not be moved by anyone other than those approved by the Sea God. However, before she could finish speaking, Xuan Ming walked straight forward and, without the slightest hesitation, reached out and grasped the golden halberd shaft.
Buzz--!
The Sea God Trident trembled slightly, emitting a deep hum, as if scrutinizing the one who touched it.
The vast, sacred aura contrasted sharply with the restrained killing intent and Evil aura surrounding Xuan Ming, even creating a subtle sense of repulsion.
But the next moment, Xuan Ming's arm muscles bulged slightly, and he effortlessly lifted the Sea God Trident from the altar, which weighed 108,000 jin, as easily as if he were just picking up an ordinary wooden stick!
"!!!"
Bo Saixi's pupils contracted sharply, and she covered her red lips to prevent herself from gasping in shock. She could clearly see that Xuan Ming had not gained the full approval of the Sea God Trident; the divine weapon still emanated a sense of rejection. He had only managed to lift it by force, relying entirely on his terrifyingly powerful strength!
One hundred and eight thousand catties doesn't sound like a particularly exaggerated number; many power-type Titled Douluo possess strength exceeding that weight.
However, condensing such a heavy load into a small weapon makes it a completely different story in terms of difficulty to wield!
Moreover, being able to lift it doesn't mean you can use it as a weapon.
Things that require immense effort to even pick up are a burden to carry around.
Xuan Ming weighed the Sea God Trident in his hand, feeling the vast divine Divine Power contained within and the faint sense of repulsion, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
He was indeed unable to unleash the power of this divine weapon, but its indestructible material and immense weight alone made it an unparalleled deadly weapon.
As is well known, the net force acting on an object is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration.
Although it only weighs 108,000 jin, if you apply Soul Power and swing it out, the impact force will be increased tenfold, a hundredfold, or even a thousandfold!
Moreover, this impact is almost entirely concentrated on one point.
To unleash an instantaneous impact force of hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of tons at a single point...
Chapter 337 Gu Yuena's God's Trial Reward
Xuan Ming slowly raised his arm, lifting the 108,000-pound Sea God Trident horizontally, its tip pointing towards the distant sea.
With a slight thought, the dark purple, Million-Year Abyss Dragon Emperor Torso Bone within his body suddenly lit up! Dark golden dragon patterns flowed, and boundless Bloodline Power and dragon might erupted, instantly flooding his entire body!
No Soul Skill were used; it was simply an infusion of pure power and Soul Power!
The next moment, he suddenly swung his arm forward!
boom!!!
A deafening roar, so muffled it seemed to shatter the very space around it, suddenly exploded!
The Sea God Trident tore through the air, leaving a distorted golden afterimage as it slashed forward with a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow!
Wherever the halberd tip passed, space seemed to be crushed by an invisible force, groaning under the unbearable weight, violently twisting and collapsing!
Immediately afterwards--
Rumble rumble rumble--!!!!
Thousands of meters away, the once calm sea surface looked as if it had been struck by a meteorite falling from the sky!
A massive crater, over a hundred meters in diameter, appeared instantly! The seawater within its radius wasn't pushed away; instead, it was directly crushed and evaporated by the indescribable, terrifying impact transmitted from afar!
A massive, circular wave, hundreds of meters high, roared outwards from the depression, spreading wildly in all directions like a tsunami!
The entire Sea God Island trembled slightly under this earth-shattering attack!
Bo Saixi stood behind Xuan Ming, her stunningly beautiful face filled with horror and disbelief!
She saw it clearly! Xuan Ming didn't activate the divine Divine Power of the Sea God Trident at all! He merely relied on his monstrous strength and Soul Power to treat this 108,000-pound divine weapon as a heavy "iron rod" and smash it out!
The destructive power of this strike... far exceeded that of most Titled Douluo ' ninth Soul Skill! It even approached the power of Peerless Douluo's attack!
What terrifying physical strength! What domineering Soul Power!
"..." Bo Saixi opened his mouth, but found his throat dry and he couldn't say a word.
She finally understood why the Lord Sea God had so easily allowed Xuan Ming to borrow the trident.
If combined with Xuan Ming's Cosmic Mind-Fixing Shroud skill, and the Sea God Trident is swung out in such a violent manner, even Titled Douluo would be smashed into a bloody mist!
Even without being able to unleash its divine power, this divine weapon in his hands was already a deadly weapon capable of destroying the world!
"Thanks." Xuan Ming nodded to Bo Saixi, then, as if remembering something, casually said something to the empty hall. He then shouldered the Golden Trident, which was much longer than him, and strode out of the Sea God Hall.
The incredibly heavy divine weapon seemed as light as a feather in his hands.
Bo Saixi watched Xuan Ming's departing figure carrying the Sea God Trident, unable to recover for Jiujiu.
She had a premonition that Xuan Ming's return to the mainland this time was probably... really going to cause a huge uproar.
In the Divine Realm, within the temple.
The scene displayed in the light mirror caused even the God King to glance at it slightly.
Weapons are merely tools; what truly matters is the person using them.
The same weapon can have vastly different power depending on who wields it.
Xuan Ming's current terrifying physical strength is evident in his attack just now. If it were a weapon from the mortal realm, no matter how skilled the forging Grandmaster was, it would instantly crumble under his terrifying power!
Only the Sea God Trident, forged with Divine Power, could withstand his brutal way of using it!
" Poseidon, your harpoon was just carried away like a fire poker, aren't you going to do anything about it?" the God of Evil asked in bewilderment.
Poseidon's lips twitched, and he said irritably, "That's a trident! Besides, what's wrong with borrowing it? Don't forget, he's conducting his God's Trial on my territory, nominally one of the Sea God Nine Trials!"
"But what does he want that harpoon for?" Even the Asura God was somewhat confused.
Although Xuan Ming's Blood Spear has not yet transformed into a true divine weapon, it has already reached the limit of the mortal realm. Moreover, it has been infused with a part of his own soul, making it a part of him. In addition, with the Ring of Slaughter and the Evil Ring of Evil bestowed upon it by Xuanming, its power in Xuan Ming's hands is no less than that of a true divine weapon.
Poseidon rolled his eyes at the Asura God. "It's probably meant to be taken back to scare people."
"Trying to scare people?" The Asura God frowned slightly.
"What's the meaning?"
"You'll see when you take your time."
Xuan Ming carried the enormous Golden Trident and strode down from the Sea God Mountain.
He arrived at the starting point of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Steps, where Hu Liena, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and others were resting under Bi Ji's healing green light, preparing for their next climb.
When they saw the Golden Trident on Xuan Ming's shoulder, radiating a vast aura, they were all shocked.
What concerned them even more was that the heartbreaking emptiness and desolation that had emanated from Xuan Ming upon his return seemed to have dissipated considerably, replaced by a calm and resolute aura. Although still cold, it was no longer so suffocating.
"Brother Xuan Ming!" Ning Rongrong couldn't help but call out, her eyes filled with concern and inquiry.
Hu Liena, Xiao Wu, and the others also gathered around. Although they didn't say anything, their eyes were full of questions.
Xuan Ming's gaze swept over the crowd, noticing the worry and exhaustion in their eyes. He nodded. "I'm fine."
"I'll be leaving for a while to complete my Third Trial. It might be a long time. Good luck to you all..."
He didn't elaborate on the assessment content, but all the women could sense that this so-called " Third Trial " was by no means easy, otherwise he wouldn't have come to say goodbye so solemnly.
Hu Liena's cool eyes were fixed on Xuan Ming, her red lips moved slightly, but in the end, she only uttered one sentence. "Be careful."
Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others also cast worried glances, but said nothing. They knew that all they could do now was not to become a burden to him and to become stronger as quickly as possible.
Snow Empress, Ice Empress, Bi Ji, and Zi JI exchanged glances.
Snow Empress's cool voice rang out. "Do you need us to come along?"
Xuan Ming shook his head. "No need. If you go, things will become more complicated. Gu Yuena and I can handle it."
Bi Ji nodded gently. "Don't worry, I'll take good care of everyone."
"Thank you for your trouble." Xuan Ming nodded and said no more.
After a brief farewell, he carried the Sea God Trident in one hand, and together with Gu Yuena, they transformed into streaks of light and disappeared into the horizon.
After leaving Sea God Island, Xuan Ming and Gu Yuena flew towards the Douluo Continent.
During the silent flight, Xuan Ming suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Gu Yuena beside him, and asked, "Speaking of which, what was your reward for the God's Trial?"
Gu Yuena was slightly taken aback, a rare look of bewilderment appearing on her usually cool face. "A reward? What reward?"
"..." Xuan Ming.
You don't have one, do you?
"..."
In the Divine Realm, within the temple.
The mirror clearly reflected the scene of Xuan Ming and Gu Yuena's conversation, and even the subtle awkward atmosphere seemed to be conveyed.
"Uh..." The playful smile on the God of Evil's face froze for a moment, and he awkwardly touched his chin. "This... seems... I forgot about it?"
He was so engrossed in watching Xuan Ming cause trouble that he completely forgot about the reward for assisting Gu Yuena!
A barely perceptible tremor flickered in the Asura God's cold, blood-red eyes; clearly, he too had overlooked this point.
Poseidon couldn't help but facepalm, complaining irritably, "You two... are really too unreliable! How can you just make people do the work without giving them any rewards? If word gets out, what will become of the God Realm Committee's reputation?"
The God of Evil coughed twice, trying to save face. "Ahem, well... it's mainly because the Silver Dragon King's situation is special. You see, she has already merged with her original body, and her strength has recovered to the God Level- level. We... really don't have anything suitable to reward her with. We can't exactly give her a God-Given Soul Ring, can we? She wouldn't even need it."
That is indeed a practical issue. As the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena is God Level being and half an incarnation of the Dragon God, possessing extremely high potential and status. Ordinary God-Given Soul Ring or Soul Power enhancements are of little significance to her, and may even be less effective than her own self-recovery.
The Asura God frowned slightly, his cold gaze sweeping over Gu Yuena, who was flying side by side with Xuan Ming in the mirror of light, without speaking immediately.
He was considering more. The Silver Dragon King was already in such a state while his injuries were still healing; if his injuries recovered and his power returned further, would he become uncontrollable?
Just then, the gentle voice of the Goddess of Life rang out. "Since it was our oversight, compensation is due. Although the Silver Dragon King has returned to God Level, the wounds from her split back then have not fully healed, and her essence remains flawed. My Life essence power may help her repair some of her injuries and stabilize her foundation. This will be her reward for assisting her in completing the first two trials."
Before she could finish speaking, the Asura God coldly said, "That's not advisable. If the Silver Dragon King recovers from his injuries too quickly, unforeseen circumstances may arise."
"What's wrong with that?" The God of Destruction's body flashed with purple lightning, his voice deep and oppressive as he retorted directly, "You were the one who suggested having the Silver Dragon King assist with the assessment, and now you're trying to renege on your promise after completing it? Asura, when did you become so petty? You're even trying to cheat on basic rules; you've completely disgraced the God Realm Committee!"
He paused, his gaze sweeping over the Asura God. "Or is it that you, Asura, lack even this much confidence in the tests you've set for yourself, and in the successor you've chosen? Are you worried that a Silver Dragon King has recovered 20% of his injuries can overturn your chessboard?"
"Hmph." The Asura God snorted coldly and no longer objected.
Seeing that no one objected, the Goddess of Life's emerald eyes flashed with a gentle light. Without further hesitation, she raised her slender hand and gently touched Gu Yuena's figure in the mirror of light!
Buzz--!
A pure, vast, emerald-green divine light, brimming with boundless vitality and creative power, instantly pierced through the barrier between the Divine Realm and the mortal realm, ignoring the distance in space, and precisely descended upon Gu Yuena, who was flying alongside Xuan Ming!
