Chapter 12 Soul Beasts Shouldn't Be Left in This World! Was That a Battle of Gods?
Chapter 12 Soul Beasts Shouldn't Be Left in This World! Was That a Battle of Gods?
"Is this really something a soul beast can do?"
"It's over, humanity is finished. If these monsters want to come ashore, what city wall can stop them?"
"It's just angry, that's all?"
Fear rose in everyone's heart.
A darker thought began to fester in his mind:
This kind of power is simply beyond human resistance.
Soul beasts, soul beasts of this level should not exist in this world!
If possible, shouldn't we try every means to exterminate them?
Before they unite, while we still have the divine legacy to rely on…
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's single eye stared intently at the light screen, its soul-stirring roar continuing unabated:
Fourth place?! I'm only fourth?
What are the first three things?
Snow Empress? A little girl hiding inside an ice shell!
Evil Eye? A disgusting filth of the mind!
Who else? Who can rank ahead of me?!
"Poseidon—!!!"
Its hatred suddenly surged to its peak.
Why should I?!
Why are you entitled to inherit the divine position, roam freely in the divine realm, and control the power over this boundless sea?
As for me, I have cultivated for nearly a million years! I am older than this ocean!
But I can only hide like a rat in a gutter, in this sunless depths of the sea, escaping your divine sense, escaping that damned light of the sea god!
"I refuse to accept this! This ocean should rightfully belong to me!"
The divine throne should be mine too! I hate it! I hate it so much!!!
Nearly a million years of dormancy and forbearance were ignited at this moment by the "underestimation" of the sky.
Its enormous body began to emit an unstable, unsettling dark red glow.
It wants to become a god, it wants to tear this damned ranking apart, it wants to seize everything that rightfully belongs to it!
Just as the raging waves were about to surge and the demonic whale was about to go completely berserk.
A majestic and sacred azure light, seemingly formed from the very will of the ocean, suddenly shot into the sky from the distant Seagod Island, traversing the endless sea and descending precisely upon the sky above this boiling sea of death!
This azure divine light, piercing through the sky and sea, left an almost miraculous mark on the hearts of all humans who witnessed the spectacle.
In the coastal areas, the fishermen, sailors, and sea spirit masters were the first to witness it.
"Sea God! It's the Sea God himself!!" An old fisherman prostrated himself in the direction of Sea God Island, tears streaming down his face.
"The Sea God has not abandoned us! A miracle! This is a true miracle!" The entire ship was filled with people kneeling down, bowing and worshipping in the direction of the pillar of light.
Bai E of Maple Leaf City looked up and saw that azure divine light.
"Borrowed authority." A thought flashed through his mind.
In his perception, the light was vast, pure, and carried an undeniable power of order.
Compared to the power of the star gods in his memory, who defined rules and wove destiny with every gesture, the power of the sea god before him was not on the same level.
"Not even a fraction of the power of the Star God."
He stopped paying attention and looked away.
Within the light, a gigantic phantom of a trident could be vaguely seen, gently pressing down.
hum-
A deep, majestic sound, containing supreme laws, resounded.
The devastating tsunami and the wildly spinning vortex seemed to have been paused, then subsided and receded as quickly as the tide.
A clear, serene, and sacred female voice seemed to come from the heavens above:
"Deep Sea Demon Whale King, step down."
"The territory of the Sea God will not tolerate your insolence."
It's Poseidon!
She did not come in person, but instead used the power of faith and a portion of the authority left by the sea god in the human world to unleash a divine punishment-like pressure from afar!
The light of that trident phantom contained the divine power of the sea god that made even the soul of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King feel pain and fear. It was an insurmountable barrier that it had cultivated for millions of years!
"roar--!!!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King let out a silent roar of pain, anger, and extreme resentment.
That azure divine light was like the hottest branding iron, scorching its soul.
Its massive body trembled slightly under divine might, and its single eye was filled with resentment.
Divine power cannot be desecrated.
At least for now, it is unable to directly confront this higher-level power.
It stared intently in the direction from which the divine light came, and then its massive tail lashed out.
The mountain-like figure slowly sank, disappearing once more into the boundless darkness of the deep sea, leaving only lingering ripples.
The images on the light screen gradually faded away after this thrilling confrontation.
The entire Douluo Continent was deathly silent.
In the sky, the heavens changed once again.
[True Form: Deep-Sea Demon Whale (Has undergone unknown deep-seated mutation)]
[Cultivation Time Limit: 950,000 years]
[Current Form: Giant whale body (extremely high level of energy, capable of partially manipulating the surrounding sea area)]
[Habitat: The endless deep sea, a forbidden zone where the influence of the sea god's faith is weak]
[Reason for inclusion: The ultimate embodiment of marine life and power, with near-infinite energy and the ability to devour and transform all things.]
[He harbors a fundamental blood feud with Poseidon, the god of the sea. His resentment and ambition, accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years, have transformed into an obsession with ascending to godhood. He is one of the non-gods in the world most close to the "god-like" barrier, posing an ultimate threat to the existing ocean and religious order.]
[Rewards: Abyss Core (one), Fragmented Faith Stealing Technique (one)]
[Reward Description: The Abyss Core can significantly purify its dark deep-sea power, strengthening its life essence; the incomplete Faith Stealing Method contains forbidden knowledge for unconventional faith gathering, which may help it bypass some inheritance restrictions and accelerate its dangerous transformation.]
The release of the information plunged the entire continent into silence.
"Nine hundred and fifty thousand years???"
"Is this its relationship with Lord Sea God? No wonder it harbors such intense hatred!"
"It wants to become a god on its own? Soul beasts can become gods?"
"It's doomed. If it becomes a god and fights the current sea god, will the ocean... no, will the whole world be destroyed?"
Wuhun Temple.
Bibi Dong gazed at the sky.
"An alternative path to godhood? Unfortunately, it's filled with savage folly."
She pondered that this crazed whale could become a pawn to disrupt the situation and deplete the power of Poseidon Island in the future.
Deep within the Starry Sky Forest.
The feelings of ferocious beasts like Di Tian are the most complex.
They witnessed the power and madness of their own kind, and they also saw the path to "becoming a god."
Brigitte's eyes were filled with compassion: "It has been consumed by hatred and can see nothing else."
Xiong Jun growled in frustration, "They're strong, but they don't feel like us anymore."
Poseidon Island.
Poseidon stood silently on the steps.
She stared silently at the information about the Deep Sea Demon Whale King on the light screen, her eyes filled with an unyielding solemnity.
The Seven Sacred Pillars Guardian Douluo stood behind her.
"The 'reward' it received..." Sea Dragon Douluo's voice was dry.
"The Abyss Core will make him harder to kill, and if he manages to figure out even a little bit of the 'Method of Stealing,' the erosion of the faith in the Sea God will have endless consequences."
Poseidon slowly closed his eyes: "Even the sea god of yesteryear could not completely destroy it, leaving only this eternal wound and imprisonment."
Now that the heavens have bestowed such forbidden knowledge upon it, there's big trouble ahead.
Just then, a familiar and powerful aura quietly appeared at the edge of Poseidon Island and approached the Temple of Poseidon at an extremely fast speed.
The seven sacred pillars sensed the danger almost simultaneously and were about to become alert when Poseidon gently raised her hand to stop them.
She slowly turned around, gazing in the direction from which the aura had originated. A complex and indescribable emotion rippled in her sea-blue eyes.
A streak of dark golden light swept across the sky and landed on the plaza in front of the Temple of Poseidon.
The light faded, revealing a tall figure.
His beard and hair had been tidied up, and although his face still bore the marks of time, it had regained its former rugged features.
It was Tang Chen.
The two gazed at each other across several steps and a century of time, as if time itself had frozen at that moment.
The seven guardian Douluo silently retreated, leaving this space to the two who were reunited.
"Ceci, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting," Tang Chen said first.
His gaze quickly swept over Poseidon's entire body, confirming that she showed no signs of injury.
"Did you get injured when the aura of that deep-sea demon whale surged here?"
Poseidon shook his head slightly, his gaze never leaving his face.
"I am unharmed. With the help of the Sea God, I am still able to intimidate him."
"However, the demonic whale, having received the blessing of the heavens, may undergo a great change. Its hatred has accumulated for nearly a million years, and now it may be even more difficult to contain."
Tang Chen stepped onto the stairs and walked step by step to her.
"The unfinished business of Lord Poseidon back then..." Tang Chen said in a deep voice, "Now, I will face it with you."
Poseidon gazed at him without speaking, just looking at him intently, and then nodded gently.
This nod is worth a thousand words.
Tang Chen extended his broad hand and firmly grasped Poseidon's hand.
The warmth from my palm dispelled the chill of the sea breeze and the unease in my heart.
Without another word, the two held hands and walked step by step into the Temple of Poseidon.
