Douluo Continent: Simulating Douluo Dalu III to Target Tang San
Bo Saixi overheard this and was shocked. Sea God Island really didn't know that the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had a wife.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Bo Saixi felt that this was quite normal. After all, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, so it wasn't wrong for him to have a wife.
Beside Gong Yu, the women nodded in agreement once again. If the Demon Empress truly existed, they were absolutely certain that Bo Saixi was no match for him.
Sea Horse Douluo, standing to the side, felt a chill run down his spine. The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was already intimidating enough, but now a Demon Empress had appeared. This was unacceptable! Sea Horse suddenly felt a sense of panic. This news was far too important; he had to tell the Great Enshrined as soon as possible!
Gong Yu smiled slightly and continued, "The Star Dou Great Forest is home to the Beast God Di Tian, a pure-blooded Dragon Clan with a cultivation level of around 860,000 years. His strength is even greater than that of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, so it's even less likely that Bo Saixi could defeat him."
The women had all met Di Tian, so there was nothing they couldn't admit. Di Tian was indeed powerful; at least after meeting Bo Saixi, they felt that Bo Saixi's strength was indeed weaker than Di Tian's.
However, Sea God Island had never heard of Di Tian, so they didn't know much about him. This was normal, because not only Sea God Island, but even the Spirit Hall, which had dominated the Douluo Continent for tens of thousands of years, didn't know that there was a group of mysterious and powerful beings in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Sea Horse Douluo curled his lip, thinking to himself, "Whatever you say, it's true. Anyway, no one on Sea God Island knows that there is such a person as Di Tian. Who knows if you're just making it up!"
After speaking of Di Tian, Gong Yu continued, "This time I'm not talking about anyone else, but about myself. Bo Saixi is no match for me now. Before I leave, I will fight her to prove that what I said is true."
Gong Yu was confident that he could defeat Bo Saixi. Now that he had reached the eighth Soul Ring, even his lowest-level Soul Ring were black. In addition, his Domain of Ice was specifically designed to counter Bo Saixi's Sea God Domain.
Under the influence of the Domain of Ice, Bo Saixi was unable to mobilize the sea. Furthermore, Gong Yu had other domains supporting him: the Life Domain focused on recovery, the Slaughter Domain and the Blood Dragon Annihilation Domain focused on killing, and the Fire Destruction Domain of Fire, and the Lightning Domain focused on destruction.
Finally, with the amplification of the Four-Word Battle Armor, controlling Bo Saixi's crafting couldn't be easier.
After hearing Gong Yu's words, the girls didn't find it exaggerated. Although they had never seen Gong Yu use his true strength, they had no doubt about Gong Yu power.
However, Sea Horse Douluo and Bo Saixi looked puzzled after hearing these words. Neither of them thought Gong Yu was particularly strong. In fact, Sea Horse Douluo believed that he could easily subdue Gong Yu on Sea God Island.
However, Bo Saixi was not as irrational as Sea Horse Douluo. Since the Sea God had opened a door of convenience for Gong Yu, it meant that Gong Yu was definitely not a simple person. Therefore, she was not sure whether Gong Yu's appearance was just a facade.
At this moment, Gong Yu turned his gaze to Na'er and said, "If we're talking about the strongest person on the entire Douluo Continent, it has to be my Na'er. My Na'er is so powerful that even if the Sea God himself came, he might not be able to defeat her."
Gong Yu dared to say this because the First Generation Sea God was not very powerful. After all, the First Generation Sea God only had the faith in the ocean. Unless Tang San, who dreamed of a normal historical trajectory, occupied the faith in both the ocean and the land, he could not have pushed the Sea God from First-Level God to a level no weaker than God King.
Upon hearing Gong Yu's words, Na'er's face flushed red instantly, while the other girls were all taken aback. They hadn't expected Na'er to be so powerful, but in all these years, they had indeed never seen Na'er truly make a move.
On the contrary, the Sea Horse Douluo beside him scoffed at Gong Yu's words. The people of Sea God Island were all loyal followers of the Sea God. Even if a God King were placed in front of them now, they would still think that the Sea God was the most powerful.
Bo Saixi, who was eavesdropping in the palace, rolled her eyes a few times, wondering whether she should pass on the information to the Sea God. However, after careful consideration, she decided it was better not to tell the Sea God for the time being. After all, although the person Gong Yu mentioned was on the island, he had not done anything to harm the Sea God Island.
"Those stronger Bo Saixi are basically all of them!" Gong Yu said finally. "Of course, there are a few others who are on par with Bo Saixi, such as Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen, who are known as the three Peerless Douluo alongside Bo Saixi."
Then there's Bibi Dong, the current Pope of the Spirit Hall. Her cultivation has reached level 99, the Demigod level, and she possesses Twin Martial Souls, making her absolutely capable of fighting Bo Saixi to a standstill.
Chapter 292 Crossing the Sea God's Light
After listening to Gong Yu's explanation, Sea Horse Douluo was suddenly bewildered. He truly couldn't believe that there were so many powerful individuals in the world.
Looking up at the Sea God Palace, Sea Horse Douluo was filled with countless thoughts. It was the first time he felt that he was actually on Sea God Island. However, the limitations of Sea God Island also indirectly limited his vision.
Gong Yu had no idea what Sea Horse Douluo was thinking, and even if he did, he wouldn't care. He glanced around at the women and said again, "Alright, I've said enough. Now, you can all tell me about your respective assessment tasks."
Upon hearing this, the Sea Horse Douluo, remembering the Great Enshrined's instructions that this group would be staying in Seahorse City, immediately said, "There's no need for you all to rush. Please come with me to Seahorse City today. As for the assessment, we can consider that after we've chosen our accommodations."
Upon hearing this, Gong Yu smiled slightly and said, "There's no need for check-in. Why don't you take us to the assessment location first? I only have one test, which is Crossing the Sea God's Light. If I'm not mistaken, their First Trial should be similar."
When the women heard what Gong Yu said, all of them, except for Na'er who hadn't participated in the assessment, nodded vigorously.
Gong Lan spoke first, "My First Trial is to Crossing the Double Sea God's Light, proceed to the core forbidden area of Sea God Island, and climb the first 333 steps of the forbidden area. This will be considered passing the test. You may withdraw midway, and the time limit is one year."
Gong Yu nodded and said, "Lan'er, you are special. You are going to inherit the position of Sea God, so the requirements for your assessment Sea God will be higher."
Upon hearing this, Gong Xue readily agreed, saying, "No wonder your assessment is different, sister. My assessment is simply to Crossing the Sea God's Light and climb one hundred and thirty-six steps!"
The next few girls also explained their assessment requirements, including the number of steps they needed to climb. These were similar to Gong Xue's, with a difference of only thirty to fifty steps. Zhu Zhuqing, the only one to undergo the Black Level Assessment, only had to climb one hundred and eight steps.
After understanding the girls' assessment content, Gong Yu looked at the Sea Horse and said, "Sea Horse, why don't you take us directly to the core forbidden area? Anyway, it's still early. Let's go and take a look first, and then go back to Seahorse City to arrange accommodations after the assessment."
Sea Horse Douluo stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then said, "That's fine. Let's go check out the core forbidden area first."
Subsequently, led by Sea Horse Douluo, the group headed in a grand procession toward the core forbidden area of Sea God Island.
As they proceeded, Sea Horse Douluo deliberately slowed down and asked, "The core forbidden area is located in the very center of the ring -Ring Sea at the center of Sea God Island, about two hundred miles from there. Should we speed up?"
"In that case, let's speed up. Don't worry about us falling behind," Gong Yu replied. Two hundred li wasn't too far, but if they were walking, it probably wouldn't take a whole day.
Only by going full speed ahead, or by using the Battle Armor to fly directly, it is estimated that it will take less than half an hour to reach the destination.
However, Gong Yu did not want to reveal the existence of the Battle Armor on Sea God Island for the time being, so he sent a telepathic message to the girls, telling them not to use the Battle Armor unless absolutely necessary, so as not to let that old Sea God find out and deliberately increase the difficulty of the subsequent trials.
After receiving Gong Yu's telepathic message, the girls agreed with Gong Yu guess, so they would never use their Battle Armor lightly.
Upon receiving Gong Yu's reply, Sea Horse Douluo immediately increased his speed. Of course, he also harbored a desire to make things difficult for Gong Yu and the others, but he was more interested in targeting Gong Yu.
"Hmph, that kid claims to be stronger than the Great Enshrined. I'll see if he can keep up with my speed. If he can't, it just proves he's bragging." Sea Horse Douluo sneered inwardly, then released his Martial Soul. His nine Soul Ring suddenly lit up, boosting his speed.
Seeing Sea Horse Douluo's behavior, the women all knew he was doing it on purpose. They all looked at Gong Yu Gong Yu, who nodded subconsciously.
The girls understood Gong Yu's meaning, so one by one they activated their Martial Soul and released their Soul Ring to enhance their speed.
Only Gong Yu and Na'er showed no intention of releasing their Martial Soul and Soul Ring, but their speed of advancement did not lag behind at all, and they followed closely behind Sea Horse Douluo by less than a meter.
Sea Horse Douluo was still feeling smug, thinking he had left Gong Yu Gong Yu the others far behind. He even deliberately looked back, intending to stop and wait for them if he saw that they hadn't caught up, and ask if they needed to slow down.
But when he turned around, he found that Gong Yu was following closely behind him, moving forward silently without releasing his Martial Soul or Soul Ring, as if he had merged with the world, which startled the Sea Horse.
To move forward silently without making a sound, one must possess immense strength to achieve such a feat. At this moment Sea Horse Douluo was lost in thought. He knew that even if the Great Enshrined were to come, he probably wouldn't be able to do this.
Looking again at the group of girls behind him, Sea Horse Douluo was once again provoked.
At this moment, in Sea Horse Douluo's eyes, the group of children behind him Mingdu a group of monsters. Looking at them, eight of the girls were Soul Saint, and the remaining two were Soul King and one was Soul Douluo.
There was also a girl next to me, Gong Yu. Although she did not release her Martial Soul or Soul Ring, she moved forward silently, just like Gong Yu, without even causing a ripple in the air.
The girls who had reached the Soul Saint level had black Soul Ring for the first two, and red Soul Ring for the last five.
Although the two Soul King were not as powerful as the eight Soul Saint girls, their Fifth Soul Ring were both red. These two were Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling, but their actual level had reached 60, they just hadn't had time to absorb their Sixth Soul Ring yet.
The reason Gong Yu didn't let the two girls absorb the Soul Ring first was that he planned to let them wait for the God-Given Soul Ring upon them; otherwise, he would have already given them the Soul Spirit he had prepared long ago.
Sea Horse Douluo glanced at Liu Erlong again. Liu Erlong was naturally much older than the other girls, which was obvious at a glance. However, to reach the Soul Douluo at such a young age was truly remarkable, a fact that Sea Horse Douluo had to admit.
Moreover, Liu Erlong's Soul Ring were two black and six red. Sea Horse Douluo felt like he had seen a ghost today. The shock he had experienced today was too great. Who would have thought that this group of girls would have so many Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring?
But are there really that many Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast on the entire continent for them to hunt?
Sea Horse Douluo fell into deep thought once again.
It was fortunate that Gong Yu was unaware of what Sea Horse Douluo was thinking at that moment, otherwise he would probably have laughed himself to death. Sea God Island was independent overseas and had long been disconnected from the mainland, so it had no idea that there were Soul Spirit and the Spirit Ascension Platform.
However, this also proves that Sea God Island is backward. If it continues to be out of touch with the mainland, it won't be more than ten or twenty years before the number of Soul Master with Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring on the mainland increases, and it will soon be surpassed by many forces on the mainland.
Chapter 293 Island Within an Island, Sea God Mountain
A journey of two hundred li would probably take an ordinary person two days to walk, and even a whole day to ride a horse.
However, for high-level Soul Master running at full speed, it only takes less than half an hour.
However, by the time Gong Yu and the others arrived at their destination, it was already nearly dusk, and the sky was already tinged with a faint sunset glow.
After passing through a dense forest, when Sea Horse Douluo stopped, Gong Yu and the others were stunned by the sight before them.
The seawater shimmered, reflecting countless colorful lights under the glow of the sunset. In the embrace of the sea, a small island, whose entire shape could be seen at a glance, stood in the center of the ring-shaped body of water.
The island is about 500 meters high, and the entire island is shrouded in a faint golden light.
Although the light was not intense, Gong Yu and the others could tell that it was definitely not the light from the sunset, but rather the island's own natural radiance.
At the very top of the island was a building that looked like it was carved from white jade. From the angle where Gong Yu and the others were standing, they could only see that the outermost part of the building was composed of huge white stone pillars, and its overall material was so crystal clear and full of sacred radiance.
"This must be what they call the forbidden area!" Gong Yu murmured.
Sea Horse Douluo's eyes were filled with piety. "That's right, this is the forbidden area of our Sea God Island, the Sea God Hall dedicated to Lord Sea God. It is the only building on the Sea God Mountain, and it is the true Sea God Island, also known as the island within an island."
"Please look, everyone. Those stone steps in front are the stairs to the island. That is where you will need to pass the test. There are 1,001 steps in total. Only the guardians of Sea God Island who have passed the Purple Level or above assessment are qualified to step onto the steps to take the test. Only by passing the test can you enter the Sea God Hall."
Otherwise, you will be blocked by the Sea God's Light. If you wish to try the test, you may go now. I will wait for you here, but please do not make any noise on Sea God Mountain, so as not to disturb the Lord Sea God."
Following the direction pointed out by Sea Horse Douluo, everyone saw stone steps extending downwards directly in front of the Sea God Hall. Bathed in the glow of the sunset, the white stone steps reflected light, resembling a jade ribbon gently draped over Sea God Mountain.
However, Gong Yu didn't bother to expose Sea Horse Douluo's nonsense, because Sea Horse Douluo probably didn't know that those below the purple level could also climb the stairs. After all, in the original historical trajectory, Bai Chenxiang, who had just passed the Yellow Level Assessment, had climbed the stairs before.
Gong Lan and the others exchanged glances, each one eager to try, especially Gong Xue, who seemed rather impatient.
At this moment, Sea Horse Douluo spoke up, "Distinguished guests, if things are not going to go smoothly during the test, please do not force it. As long as you retreat from the sacred mountain quickly, you will not be injured."
The Sea God's Light the only relatively safe trial among your tests, so there's no need for excessive hesitation. Go if you can, retreat if you can't, as long as you complete the assessment within the stipulated time.
Sea Horse Douluo's suggestion was well-intentioned; whether Gong Yu and the others could understand was not his concern.
"Thank you for the reminder!" Gong Yu smiled slightly. Since the Sea Horse Douluo had set aside his hostility and chosen to show goodwill, Gong Yu would not refuse the Sea Horse's request.
Sea Horse Douluo smiled and said, "You're welcome. You are honored guests of Sea God Island, so it's only right that I do this. However, we Sea Soul Master who have passed the test cannot enter the forbidden area without the permission of Lord Sea God, so please understand that I can only escort you this far."
"But it's alright, we can go by ourselves," Gong Yu said calmly. "However, I suddenly had an idea. Before we finish the First Trial, we'll stay in the forbidden area. Please send us food regularly. It doesn't need to be anything fancy, just dry rations will do."
Gong Yu only had these few requirements. As for things like clean water, she didn't need them because the Ring Sea was full of fresh water, which was sufficient for daily use.
"This..." Sea Horse Douluo hesitated for a moment, but then he received a telepathic message from Bo Saixi, instructing him to do as Gong Yu requested. So he said, "Very well, you are honored guests, so let's do as you request. I will send people to deliver rations to you regularly."
"Thank you," Gong Yu said with a smile again. "Then please step aside, we'll head over now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gong Yu ignored Sea Horse Douluo and lightly tapped his foot, instantly unleashing his Domain of Ice.
At this moment, a large block of ice appeared beneath the feet of Gong Yu and his group. The ice block was about five meters in diameter and was exceptionally large.
Immediately, Gong Yu had a sudden thought, and the ice block was quickly lifted up.
It turned out that the ice block was slowly forming an ice pillar. The ice pillar slowly wriggled, quickly condensing the surrounding water vapor. As soon as the water vapor encountered the ice pillar, it was frozen into ice, and then the ice pillar slowly grew.
As the ice pillar grew longer, Gong Yu and the others were slowly transported from the ice surface they were standing on to the other side of the Ring Sea, which was about two hundred meters wide.
Sea Horse Douluo, who was still standing there, was so shocked by what he saw that he stood there with his eyes wide open and his mouth agape as if he could fit a fist in it. It took him Jiujiu to come back to his senses.
"Even if the Great Enshrined came, he probably couldn't do this!" After muttering to himself, Sea Horse Douluo left on his own.
As soon as they arrived at the foot of Sea God Mountain, Gong Yu and the others immediately felt a majestic and solemn atmosphere surrounding them, as if some special energy was pressing down on them, and their hearts felt as if something was oppressing them.
"Everyone must be feeling the oppression, that's caused by the Sea God's Light," Gong Yu said solemnly to the women around him. "However, the Sea God's Light here isn't very strong. You'll feel it much stronger once you step onto the steps ahead. Let's go, let's all give it a try."
After saying that, Gong Yu took the lead and rushed towards the stone steps in front of him.
Bang bang...
Several muffled thuds suddenly rang out. Just as Gong Yu rushed to the steps, he seemed to have bumped into something and was bounced back, taking two or three steps back.
Fortunately, his forward momentum wasn't too strong; otherwise, if he had crashed headfirst into it, his head would probably have been cracked open. Even so, he still staggered backward and barely managed to regain his balance.
"Everyone, listen up! Don't rush in like I did, or you'll get a split head on your head and don't blame me for not warning you." Gong Yu smiled awkwardly, then raised his hand and condensed a Soul Power ball in his palm, throwing it diagonally upwards.
A strange scene unfolded. Everyone only saw a faint flash of golden light, and the Soul Power ball that Gong Yu had thrown out only paused slightly before rebounding back with lightning speed, even faster than when Gong Yu had thrown it. The target of the rebound attack was Gong Yu himself.
Chapter 294 Attempting to Climb the Stairs
Seeing the Soul Power ball bounce back, Gong Yu circulated his Soul Power and unleashed another Soul Power ball.
In the blink of an eye, the two Soul Power balls collided in the air, producing a sonic boom. The Soul Power ball that was bounced back was thus neutralized by the newly launched Soul Power ball.
Everyone saw this, so Gong Yu spoke up, "Now that everyone has arrived, the Sea God's Light is actually a powerful protective shield. It should be able to reflect any physical and energy attack, and not just randomly, but only at the person who launched the attack."
"Then how are we supposed to complete the test?" Gong Lan asked, puzzled. When a person enters the Sea God's Light, it's equivalent to launching a physical attack on the shield. If the attack is deflected, how can they climb the stone steps?
Gong Yu said, "It's not that difficult. As long as we can't use any skills when climbing the stairs, otherwise we will immediately suffer a backlash. So we can only climb step by step under the pressure of the rebound. If our strength can't hold up, we will be bounced back immediately."
"Also, although we can't use our offensive Soul Skill, I think we can still use our support skills. Let's go, we'll try them out and see."
So Gong Yu returned to the steps, slowly raised his right leg, and stepped towards the first step.
As soon as his right leg entered the area of the steps, he immediately felt blocked by a powerful resistance, a strong force hindering his progress.
Gong Yu began circulating the Quanzhen Great Dao Song throughout his body, then slowly stepped onto the stairs, simultaneously lifting his body to stand on the first step.
As soon as he stood on the first stone step, he felt an immense pressure bearing down on him, squeezing his body as if he were in a gravity chamber several times stronger than normal, making him feel incredibly heavy.
A layer of golden mist appeared around her body, and Gong Yu could clearly feel that her Soul Power was being rapidly depleted.
Under immense pressure, Gong Yu took his second step. Although he knew the pressure would increase again when he climbed the second step, he didn't expect it to increase so much. He could feel that the pressure on the second step was at least 10% greater than that on the first step.
Taking a deep breath, Gong Yu took another step, this time speeding up and climbing all the way to the tenth step before stopping.
But when he stopped, the pressure from the front surged towards him like a tidal wave.
Gong Yu secretly performed a simple calculation of his Soul Power and realized that it would probably require a Soul Ancestor to exert all his strength to barely manage to climb the tenth step and stand firmly.
