"Oh?" A trace of surprise flashed in Poseidon's eyes as he cupped his hands. "Congratulations! Xue Di, congratulations on achieving primary god."
"Sea God Poseidon?" Her tone carried uncertainty as she looked at the middle-aged man flying before her, especially that flashy three-pronged circular ring on his head, seeming to stun Xue Di.
"Hahaha, that's right." The Sea God laughed. "Didn't expect after twenty thousand years, you still remember me."
"Sir, your meritorious deeds in unifying the great seas—even after twenty thousand years, your fame remains resounding. As the ruler of the Extreme North, how could I not know."
"You're still as flowery in speech as back then." Poseidon shook his head, skipping irrelevant topics, turning his gaze to the Ancient Black Phoenix's position.
"What's the matter with him? Xue Di, can you explain the situation?"
Xue Di had just broken through level 100, but reaching true primary god above level 130 was only a matter of time; the Sea God was willing to give respect.
"The Ice God's remnant soul gave me the remaining memories, but..." Xue Di sighed. "Poseidon, this pitch-black passage connects to a plane called the Abyss. The Ancient Black Phoenix came from there."
"A passage connecting planes?" Poseidon inhaled sharply.
Only upon close perception did he detect the Ancient Black Phoenix's strength.
Perhaps not comparable to a primary god with god position enhancement, but essentially, it exceeded secondary god scope.
Abyss—unexpectedly, the lower realm had such a place?
"Crack—" The water flow binding the Ancient Black Phoenix's body began to be eroded; the Ancient Black Phoenix emitted a wailing low hum.
The entire bird began to melt, turning into black water flow toward the pitch-black profound cave mouth.
"Not good!"
Poseidon could be considered well-traveled; even if unclear at first what the Ancient Black Phoenix was doing, now he reacted—this guy was sacrificing himself to stabilize the space passage.
His exclusive divine weapon Sea God Trident condensed in hand; Poseidon charged straight up.
"Useless, in the end you were still a bit slow."
"Bang!"
As if crashing into a thick wall, Poseidon grunted, involuntarily stopping.
"Damn, it's a barrier screen, similar to soul sacrifice rules!"
Soul beast sacrifices generally couldn't be interrupted. The Ancient Black Phoenix before him—who knows if it counted as a soul beast—but the rules produced by the sacrifice actually bounced back his attack.
This was a bit troublesome!
Poseidon pondered solutions.
On the other side, Xue Di was inquiring of Ning Rongrong.
"Do you have a way to resolve this?"
Truth be told, Xue Di was already at her wits' end.
Inheriting the Ice God's power was the limit of what the Ice God could do; even the Ice God hadn't expected the Ancient Black Phoenix to thoroughly sacrifice itself, not seeking to break the seal but to open the passage.
Level 101 seemed very strong.
But incomparable to the current true primary god Sea God Poseidon.
"Watch." Ning Rongrong shook her head. "The Sea God won't easily let the passage's creature out."
Ning Rongrong didn't understand Poseidon's situation.
But having interfered in the lower realm multiple times and still able to descend to wander, he must have done some pledge or the like.
A primary god appearing on Douluo Continent was already a very serious matter; if Poseidon didn't find a way to handle it, upon return he'd probably have to squat in big prison again.
"Hmph, barrier so what—watch me smash it to pieces!" Poseidon's voice rang out.
Ice and water were originally similar attributes, just different forms due to temperature differences.
Poseidon swung the Sea God Trident; as divine power released, the Extreme North's black mist was dispelled by water vapor.
A terrifying pressure rose from his body, pouncing toward one spot.
"Sea God Thirteen Styles."
"Man and Trident Unite, Shift Stars and Move Dipper."
In an instant, the Sea God's figure fused as one with the Sea God Trident in his hand.
Achieving the realm of man-trident unity.
Waves of overwhelming momentum diffused in all directions.
All water was controlled in an extremely small range, then gathered to one point.
"Boom!"
The Sea God Trident crashed onto the solid barrier position; the intense shock made space distort.
"Not good!"
Xue Di's expression changed abruptly. Originally thinking as fellow primary gods, she wouldn't be much inferior.
But seeing this might, she knew the vast gap between her and him.
"This is a god above level 130?"
Xue Di bit her teeth, opening her domain to block the aftermath eroding this side.
"Let Kurumi and me handle it!" Ning Rongrong suddenly stepped forward. "Probably can't hold back strength; the passage must be sealed."
"Um?"
Xue Di's face showed puzzlement.
Moments after Ning Rongrong's words fell.
A ring-shaped barrier rose, enveloping everyone; Xue Di felt the nearby space folded, the aftermath completely unable to impact.
"This is..."
Xue Di was somewhat baffled; Bing Di was utterly confused—anyway, she was the weakest now.
"Folding time and space—we're not in the same space as the Sea God."
"Such a thing can be done too?"
Xue Di was astonished at Ning Rongrong and Tokisaki Kurumi's influence over space-time.
The two gave the feeling of being stronger than before entering Dragon Valley.
And she saw the Dark Devilgod Tiger Tokisaki Kurumi turn into points of light, fusing into Ning Rongrong's body.
While Ning Rongrong now, standing before her, actually made Xue Di feel unmatchable.
Ning Rongrong sighed: "The Sea God failed, but the passage must be sealed."
The raging aftermath continued; Wind Snow Valley through the valley mouth emitted explosive energy.
The entire Extreme North's soul beasts prostrated on the ground, trembling; some even rolled their eyes and fainted directly.
"Aaahhhh—"
The Sea God's voice transmitted from below the rift valley; after a explosive shout, the Wind Snow Valley's ice surface showed dense cracks—the entire valley could collapse at any time.
The scarred Wind Snow Valley valley mouth below had layers of dense water vapor, the temperature several degrees higher than outside.
"Ugh!" Poseidon grunted, retreating several steps.
"You, who are you!"
Poseidon, who should have broken the barrier and killed the Ancient Black Phoenix, looked at the suddenly appearing black shadow, his expression turning grave.
Only to see the black shadow reach out and grab the dead Ancient Black Phoenix's body; in an instant, all energy flowed into the black shadow's body.
"Devouring like the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King!" The Sea God exclaimed directly; reacting, he swung the Sea God Trident to launch an attack.
"Hahahaha, hahahahahahaha!" The black shadow's figure gradually clarified.
Crystal clear silvery-white hair slowly draped down, face fair, appearance quite handsome.
A pair of black eyes without whites, merely profound like an abyss.
Black long robe covered his whole body, broad shoulder collar opening to both sides, with a massive black cape spreading behind.
A cold light swept over; sharp energy once again forced Poseidon back.
"Who are you?" Poseidon steadied his form, face gloomy.
"The Black Phoenix is my subordinate—you think who I am?" The youth sneered.
"Coward hiding head and showing tail." Poseidon swung the Sea God Trident; ocean aura nonstop diffusing outward, quickly locking the youth before him.
"Sea God Thirteen Styles—Never to Return."
Divine power compressed to one point made the Sea God Trident even brighter; the inserted position formed faint ripples. Poseidon turned into a residual shadow, quickly charging toward the youth.
"Hmph!"
Only to see the youth cold snort.
"Clang clang."
Sounds of weapons clashing; after several exchanges.
Poseidon slowly retreated, the hand without weapon wiping the blood from his mouth corner, gaze yet noticing the long halberd in the opponent's hand.
This thing has issues—actually able to ignore my divine power and directly act on the body.
Moreover, the opponent's mental power suspiciously exceeded primary god, approaching half-step God King realm.
Trouble!
The Five God Kings weren't in the God Realm, having brought one-two-three level gods to seal the Golden Dragon King; the remaining few cats and dogs coming over would just be delivering food.
Just as Poseidon pondered what to do, a slender figure descended.
The surrounding space faintly emitted slight ripples; a light voice rang out: "Lord Poseidon, need help?"
