Chapter 67: The Ninth Trial, First-Level God Sea God! Poseidon: Trespassing into my divine realm, arrogant!
This was an indescribable pressure.
It wasn't like the overt, aggressive power of a god, but rather like heaven and earth themselves. It was as if, with him standing there, the entire sky, the entire sea, and even the entire world, had become the backdrop for Yu Jingcheng, existing only around him.
The moment Yu Jingcheng appeared on Sea God Island.
Inside the Sea God Temple.
Poseidon, who had been sitting cross-legged with a deep, abyss-like aura, suddenly opened her eyes. Her deep blue eyes were filled with unprecedented horror and solemnity!
Beside her, Tang Chen, holding a huge dark red longsword and exuding a chilling killing intent, also stood up almost at the same time.
The veins on Tang Chen's hand holding the sword bulged, and a flash of bloodlust passed through his eyes.
"What... what kind of power is this?"
Tang Chen's voice was hoarse and low, filled with apprehension.
"I have never felt such a terrifying presence!
He… even surpasses the gods I know!"
Although he didn't say it aloud, Tang Chen guessed who the newcomer was.
It must be Yu Jingcheng!
On this Douluo Star, besides Yu Jingcheng, who else could possess such intimidating power?
Poseidon didn't answer. Her face was as pale as paper, her gaze fixed on the outside of the hall, as if she could see through the walls and see the leisurely strolling figure.
She could sense that the owner of that aura held a… scrutinizing and possessive attitude towards the entire Seagod Island, and even towards her and Tang Chen.
Like a king surveying his territory, eyeing the treasures about to be claimed.
The newcomer was not friendly!
Moreover, he was an unprecedented enemy!
"He's here."
Poseidon took a deep breath, a resolute glint in her eyes.
"For the glory of the Seagod, for this island, I have no other choice."
Tang Chen looked at her and instantly understood her intention, nodding heavily:
"I will protect you!"
Poseidon no longer hesitated. She turned sharply, facing the enormous sea god statue in the center of the Sea God Temple, kneeling on both knees, offering her most devout faith and soul.
"Great Sea God, your most loyal servant Poseidon, I beg you to descend the final test!"
She voluntarily completed the final test of the Nine Trials of the Sea God—sacrifice!
In truth, this was just a formality.
For Poseidon, she could have directly completed the ninth test earlier.
But whether out of her faith in Poseidon or some other consideration, Poseidon wanted to stay by Tang Chen's side.
But now, she couldn't wait any longer.
Yu Jingcheng was already a God-King, a top-tier existence among the gods.
If she hadn't become a god, she wouldn't have the qualifications to resist Yu Jingcheng!
In the divine realm, Poseidon watched Poseidon begin the Ninth Trial of the Sea God with such an attitude.
He felt a strange mix of emotions.
She had voluntarily begun the Nine Trials of the Sea God, and the super artifact, the Trident of the Sea God, was in Poseidon's hands.
Even if Poseidon hadn't become a god, he was still more like the Sea God than him!
That's fine, anyway, he planned to inherit the divine position.
Giving it to Poseidon isn't bad!
On Seagod Island.
Boom—!!!
The entire Seagod Temple trembled violently, and the eyes of the Seagod statue suddenly shone with two dazzling golden beams of light, shining directly on Poseidon.
A vast and unparalleled golden divine power, like a celestial river overflowing, surged forth from the statue, completely enveloping Poseidon!
At the same time, the Heart of Seagod, enshrined on the altar, shone brightly, and the [Seagod Trident], weighing 108,000 jin, emitted a thunderous hum, transforming into a golden stream of light and actively flying into the pillar of light!
Outside Seagod Island, the wind and clouds changed color, and raging waves surged!
Countless sea spirit beasts emerged from the deep sea, bowing and worshipping towards Mount Seagod, as if welcoming the return of their monarch!
The next moment, an incredibly thick golden pillar of light shot skyward from the top of the Seagod Temple, tearing through the clouds and announcing the birth of a new god!
The light faded.
Before the Seagod Temple, a new deity descended upon the world.
Poseidon wore magnificent golden divine armor, wielding a massive trident, her long, sea-blue hair moving without wind.
Although her appearance remained unchanged due to her own choice, her aura underwent a dramatic transformation. Her eyes no longer held human emotions, but were as deep, majestic, and vast as the sea.
A first-level deity, the Sea Goddess!
She had inherited the divine position, becoming the new ruler of this ocean!
Tang Chen, holding the Asura Demon Sword, stood solemnly beside her, both of them casting their gazes upon the figure below the mountain, their eyes filled with vigilance and hostility.
Yu Jingcheng stopped, looked up, and gazed with interest at the newly ascended deity atop the mountain, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"Oh? Sensing my arrival, you couldn't wait to inherit the divine throne to oppose me?"
Yu Jingcheng's voice wasn't loud, but it echoed clearly in Poseidon and Tang Chen's ears, as if he were speaking directly to them.
The newly appointed sea god, Poseidon, wielding a trident, exuded divine might, her voice carrying the roar of the sea:
"You are a god-king? Why do you trespass into my divine realm!"
Poseidon's face was filled with apprehension.
She didn't yet know Yu Jingcheng's intentions, but she already had a guess.
It was nothing more than an attempt to 'win them over,' or perhaps he coveted something else about them.
And besides their divine thrones and artifacts, there seemed to be nothing else on their bodies that Yu Jingcheng would covet.
Yu Jingcheng stood with his hands behind his back. With a single step, he instantly traversed a thousand meters, appearing in the plaza before the Sea God Temple, facing the two figures.
Ignoring the murderous Tang Chen beside him, Yu Jingcheng's gaze swept over Poseidon and the trident in her hand, finally nodding in satisfaction.
"Your divine domain?
No, you're wrong."
A cold smile curved Yu Jingcheng's lips, his eyes flashing with undeniable majesty.
"From the moment I set foot on this Sea God Island, everything here—including you, your divine position, the trident in your hand, and the sword in his hand…"
"will all become spoils of war for my Dragon Court."
Looking at the arrogant and aggressive Yu Jingcheng, Tang Chen's thoughts momentarily wavered.
Tang Chen suddenly remembered the past of Yu Jingcheng, which had been reviewed on the celestial screen not long ago.
That useless martial soul, yet single-mindedly focused on becoming stronger.
He traveled the continent, made close friends and lovers, crossed oceans to grow stronger, and finally became a level 99 demigod.
Back then, though powerful and aloof, there was still warmth in his eyes, something he wanted to protect.
But the man before him was cold, domineering, and viewed everything as worthless, as if everything in the world was merely a dispensable embellishment in his Dragon Court.
His eyes held only endless majesty and unfathomable indifference.
The contrast was stark.
But now, Tang Chen looked at Yu Jingcheng, his chest heaving slightly, his eyes bloodshot.
An enemy!
The most terrifying enemy he had ever faced!
"Arrogant!"
