Bo Saixi

Faced with Yu Tianshuang's oppressive attack, even though the terrifying Frost Dragon had just left his grasp, the deafening roar and the freezing cold that instantly plummeted the surrounding temperature, the Sea Dragon Douluo reacted almost instinctively. He unleashed all his Soul Power to block, then connected with the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar far away in Sea Dragon City. His rich combat experience told him that he absolutely could not withstand this attack on his own; he needed the power of the Lord Sea God, otherwise... he might die...

Almost instantly, as the Frost Dragon's claws gripped the Soul Power defensive shield activated by the Sea Dragon Douluo, a "crack" was heard, and the shield, which contained all of the Sea Dragon Douluo's Soul Power, shattered. The unstoppable Frost Dragon continued to pound on his arms, shoving him sideways. The force of the blows propelled the Sea Dragon Douluo's thick legs, carving two furrows into the frozen ground. Just as he was about to crash into the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar, the soaring light from the distant Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar finally fell upon him.

"Call..."

Feeling that he had stopped retreating, Sea Dragon Douluo breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment, the familiar feeling of being pushed back came again. Even with the support of the power of the Sacred Pillar, he could not stop the power of this Frost Dragon. With a loud "boom", Sea Dragon Douluo was slammed into the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar. As the impact ended, the endless power of ice exploded and the huge Frost Dragon exploded.

"No... Sea Horse Sacred Pillar!!!" Upon seeing this scene, Sea Horse Douluo in the audience no longer cared about anything else. He unleashed a speed he had never experienced before and quickly arrived at the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar. Ignoring the Sea Dragon Douluo who was frozen in ice and whose life was unknown, he looked at the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar, which was covered in cracks but frozen solid, and suddenly knelt down on the ground.

"How is this possible? The Sacred Pillar contains the power of the Lord Sea God, how could it be destroyed, how could it be..."

As the icy mist dissipated, the people below looked at the Seahorse Sea Horse Sacred Pillar Sea Horse Sacred Pillar and clearly saw the numerous cracks covering it. Although it was currently Ice Seal and hadn't collapsed, they knew that the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar had been destroyed—destroyed by that young man with a single blow...

Seeing the incredulous looks on their faces, Yu Tianshuang curled her lip and thought to herself, "What's so surprising about this? Let alone a building containing a trace of that bastard's Divine Power, even if his divine sense descended, I would still turn it into an ice sculpture!"

"Do any of you still want to fight?"

Ignoring the Sea Dragon Douluo, who had lost his fighting ability, and the Sea Horse Douluo, who had completely lost his will to fight, Sacred Pillar, Yu Tianshuang's aura had risen to an unimaginable level. When her extremely oppressive eyes fell upon the group, they were actually forced to take several steps back...

"This..."

Cold sweat poured down the foreheads of Sea Delusion Douluo appeared. Then, a stunningly beautiful woman in a gorgeous robe, holding a scepter, appeared in mid-air. As soon as this beautiful woman appeared, the Sea Dragon Douluo, who had been turned into frost by Yu Tianshuang, and the frozen ice surface began to melt.

"Poseidon, the High Bo Saixi of Sea God Island, one of the three strongest beings in the world, representing the invincible ocean... truly formidable..."

Yu Tianshuang stared at his ultimate target for this mission. To be honest, he didn't have a real understanding of Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen, or even Bo Saixi. He only knew their strength from Tang Chen, the so-called invincible level 99 Limit Douluo on land. But at this moment, although Bo Saixi hadn't released a single bit of Soul Power or Divine Power towards him, the sense of oppression she brought was several times stronger than that of Qian Daoliu.

"Outsider, you injured the Sacred Pillar Guardian my Sea God Island's sacred pillars and nearly destroyed the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar. Tell me, what is your purpose in coming here!"

With an imposing presence even without anger, Bo Saixi merely waved her scepter, and the nearly dying Sea Dragon Douluo was brought back to life. The Sea Horse Sacred Pillar, which had been almost destroyed by Yu Tianshuang, was miraculously restored in her hands, without a single crack or frost visible.

Yu Tianshuang sheathed her Martial Soul, raised her head, and gazed at this legendary woman. It was no wonder that Tang Chen had a crush on her. In terms of appearance alone, this woman was absolutely comparable to Qian Renxue. The dignified, elegant, and sacred aura she exuded further enhanced her charm. And now, meeting her pink eyes, just one glance was enough to captivate anyone. Her eyes seemed to hold a thousand stars, drawing people in and making them mesmerized.

"High Priest Bo Saixi of Poseidon Sea God Island, my name is Yu Tianshuang. I came to Sea God Island to fulfill a request, a dying wish of a respected adversary."

After speaking, Yu Tianshuang took out the token that Tang Chen had given him on his deathbed from his storage ring. Just as he was about to say something more, a fragrant breeze suddenly wafted over, and Bo Saixi herself actually appeared directly in front of him, her pink eyes, which contained endless stars, wide open, her pink lips trembling slightly as she looked at the token in Yu Tianshuang's hand that represented Tang Chen's identity.

"Senior... you..."

Yu Tianshuang was also bewildered by Bo Saixi's actions. He was somewhat confused about the situation. His original plan was to first present Tang Chen's token to Bo Saixi, then tell her that he had helped her kill the man she disliked who secretly admired her, in order to gain her favor and kindness. He would then try to persuade Bo Saixi not to initiate the trial for Tang San's Godhood succession. However, her current actions made him feel that something was amiss; her reaction was far too agitated.

Could it be that I guessed wrong? Tang Chen wasn't Bo Saixi's secret admirer, or... were they actually a couple, or perhaps... Bo Saixi and Tang Chen harbored feelings for each other?

Oh my god... I didn't prepare a third plan at all. I was thinking that if the verbal approach didn't work, I would just go for the physical one, but now the verbal approach is causing problems... Wait, I shouldn't panic. Let me test the waters first.

"Senior Bo Saixi, Senior Tang Chen has already left, but I have kept my promise and brought this token here as agreed. Now I hand it over to you."

Yu Tianshuang was initially very excited to see Bo Saixi, but as time passed, she seemed frozen, staring blankly at the sign in her hand without speaking. Her pitiful appearance left Yu Tianshuang somewhat helpless. However, since she remained silent, he couldn't speculate; if he said something wrong, it would lead to a direct confrontation. Originally, Yu Tianshuang was quite indifferent, willing to take either path, simply not wanting to waste time and energy. But now, with the oppressive aura Bo Saixi had exuded upon her appearance—frankly, far stronger than when the Sea God's Divine Sense possessed Tang San —he... wasn't entirely confident...

"Oh oh..."

Bo Saixi awkwardly accepted Tang Chen's token, seemingly snapping out of her reverie and realizing her lapse in composure. She coughed twice to cover it up, then reverted to her dignified and sacred demeanor as the High Priestess of Poseidon Sea God Island.

"Besides this token, is there anything else Tang Chen wanted you to tell me...? He... wait... you just said he gave it to you on his deathbed?"

Bo Saixi was no longer filled with the rage she felt when she first arrived, after the intruders destroyed the Sacred Pillar and injured their Sacred Pillar Guardian. Now, all she wanted to know was Tang Chen's condition. But as she regained her composure, it suddenly dawned on her that the young man who brought Tang Chen's token was referring to... his deathbed?

"Yes, senior, it was indeed given to me personally by Senior Tang Chen before his death. He didn't tell me to carry the message, because at that time..."

"Nonsense! How could Tang Chen possibly die? He's not like me or Qian Daoliu. With his strength, on this continent, unless a god descends to earth, who could kill him?"

Before Yu Tianshuang could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Bo Saixi. Suddenly, like an enraged lion, she slammed her scepter down, unleashing a burst of deep blue water-attribute Soul Power.

"Senior, please calm down, the matter is..."

"Speak! Are you a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect? This token itself represents the sect leader's identity. Did he... did he pass this token to you and then send you to see me? Coward! He failed to keep his promise from back then and actually came up with such a low-level excuse. It's utterly laughable!"

What... what's wrong with this woman's thinking? How could I possibly become a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect?

Yu Tianshuang was completely bewildered by Bo Saixi. After thinking for a moment, she couldn't come up with a good explanation, so she simply laid her cards on the table.

"Senior, I am not a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect. The story is this: back then, I was training in the Slaughter City..."

As Yu Tianshuang explained the whole story, Bo Saixi's face was a mixture of emotions, a complex expression that made one want to hold her close and cherish her. Finally, with a long sigh, she said with endless desolation, "I understand, young man. Thank you for telling me about this token and him. Thank you. I never imagined that of the three of us, only I would remain..."

After saying this, Bo Saixi prepared to leave with a worried look on her face, but Yu Tianshuang stopped her, "Senior, besides that, I have another matter I would like to ask you for help with."

"Yes, I know that I owe you a favor for going to such lengths to fulfill his dying wish. Please tell me, and I will definitely help as long as it's within my power."

"Please, senior, do not pass on the Sea God Godhood to Tang San, or rather, do not help him begin the final God Trial!"

Upon hearing this, Bo Saixi finally regained her usual composure and began to carefully examine the young man before her who had uttered such astonishing words. "You... are from the Spirit Hall, aren't you?"

"It seems you are not familiar with the process of divine Godhood. The situation on the continent is constantly changing. Although I don't know who is currently the Pope of the Spirit Hall, do you know what you mean by this request?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Tianshuang pondered for a moment. He had met three successors to the Godhood, including Tang San. Leaving Tang San aside, the process for Senior Sister Bing'er and Qian Renxue to inherit the Godhood involved first passing the highest-level God Trial to qualify for the Godhood. He himself had been to the Ice and Snow Divine Hall. Although he didn't know the content of the final God Trial, according to the superstitions Bibi Dong had given him, the final God Trial had to be initiated by the temple's high priest. Senior Sister Bing'er's high priest was Yue'er, and Qian Renxue's was Qian Daoliu, so there was no condition that the high priest would not initiate the test for either of them.

According to his understanding, as long as he could prevent Bo Saixi from starting the trial for Tang San, or even kill her directly, Tang San would have to wait for the next High Priest of Sea God Island to appear if he wanted to inherit the Sea God's Godhood. However, judging from what Bo Saixi just said, it seems that the process for inheriting the Godhood on Sea God Island is different from that of Senior Sister Bing'er and the others?

"I have a general understanding of the process. Could it be that the method of succession to the Godhood on Sea God Island is different?"

"It's the same, but... could you change your request? This is a favor I can't do, I shouldn't help with, or... I simply can't do it..."

Looking at the young man from the Spirit Hall before her, Bo Saixi couldn't help but think back to how she had exceeded the limits of the assessment, forcing Tang San to personally undergo her trial in an attempt to refuse the sacrifice and achieve his Godhood, but she still failed. Now, Qian Daoliu had already sacrificed himself, and Tang Chen was dead. Her only remaining hope in this world had been shattered. So what was left for her to cling to life now? Wasn't it to help Tang San achieve the position of Sea God?
