An hour passed, then two, then three. As time went by, Tang San's voice grew hoarse, and what made the people of Sea God Island feel even more uncomfortable was the sight of blue-gold liquid flowing from the intimate area, a sight that could hardly be ignored.
Deities undergo a transformation in their blood when they ascend to divinity, and the color of their blood changes as they are infused with divine power. The blue-gold liquid—wasn't that Tang San's blood?
It was unbearable to watch—too much to bear! Was this the trial one had to face to become a god? If this was the price of divinity, then it would be better not to ascend at all—shame, bloodshed, and public humiliation. What a fate!
The light from Poseidon's display expanded across the coastal cities of the continent. Since these cities were near the sea and not governed by any specific power, and since their soul masters worshipped Poseidon, the inheritance of the Sea God was witnessed by them all.
In a city filled with nobles, rich merchants, and even slave auctions, where the upper-class indulged in debauchery and vice, the display of Poseidon's divine trial left them utterly shocked.
Some of the higher-ups even used soul tools to record the process of the Sea God's inheritance. Even the distant Sun and Moon Continent witnessed the unsettling images that spread across the skies.
It was clear: soon, Poseidon, who had once been famous only on Sea God Island, would now have his name known throughout the entire Douluo Star.
In the Divine Realm.
The battle continued. The Golden Dragon King was covered in blood, its entire body marred by countless wounds. Yet, despite the pain, the murderous intent within the Golden Dragon King only grew more intense as its injuries festered.
The wounds inflicted by Qian Renxue's black sword were sealed by ice, preventing them from healing. Though the blood sword's injuries could be somewhat repaired due to the Golden Dragon King's powerful vitality, the sword's energy still lingered within, slowly eating away at its insides like a bone-deep, flesh-ripping pain.
"Time and Space Light."
Qian Renxue's eyes turned blue, her head shimmering with silver divine power. A deep blue beam, no more than a yard in diameter, shot out from her eyes.
As the beam of deep blue light shot forth, time seemed to freeze. The Golden Dragon King, about to charge again, found itself completely immobilized in mid-air. The surrounding space rapidly compressed, and although the blue light seemed to move slowly, the entire sky and earth around the Golden Dragon King transformed into a deep blue hue.
Destruction, Life, and the Seven Elements gods watching the attack were struck with terror. The spiritual pressure was terrifying, and it even contained spatial power.
Destruction and Life wondered to themselves: if that attack had hit them, they would have been killed without a doubt. Qian Renxue's spiritual realm was on a completely different level from theirs. With resources like the Evil Eye Overlord's external soul bone, the Silver Dragon King's divine head soul bone, and the Purple Extreme Magic Eyes, they might be able to resist the attack, but only the Dragon God could truly withstand it.
The deep blue Time and Space Light landed firmly on the Golden Dragon King. The frost that had been emanating from its body turned deep blue, and its entire body followed suit.
The Golden Dragon King let out a heart-wrenching scream, its already weak spiritual foundation immediately suffering a massive blow. Yet, it did not die—only because it was a god, the life force of the Golden Dragon King was extraordinarily resilient.
Taking advantage of this opening, Qian Renxue struck again, her two swords igniting with flames. The space rippled slightly before they vanished from her hands.
In the next moment, two meteors—a black one and a red one—fell from the sky. The swords, now enlarged by several dozen meters, pierced the Golden Dragon King's body. The massive dragon wings that blocked the sky crashed down, and the Golden Dragon King once again howled in agony.
"Time to finish you."
Qian Renxue's face showed signs of exhaustion. The use of the Time Light had drained a great deal of her spiritual energy. The Golden Dragon King, indeed, was a creature of immense vitality. Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken three supreme gods working together in full force to defeat it.
At that moment, a blue-gold light shot toward them, bursting with an immense killing intent. But the killing intent was not aimed at the Golden Dragon King—it was directed at Qian Renxue.
"That is… Lord Sea God!"
A second-level god exclaimed in shock as they watched the figure holding the trident, bloodshot eyes glaring with fury, charging toward Qian Renxue.
The first-level gods, meanwhile, pondered in disbelief. How had Poseidon's strength dropped so drastically? Once one of the most powerful first-level gods, Poseidon now seemed reduced to an ordinary one.
After using the Time and Space Light, Qian Renxue's spiritual power had been greatly drained, allowing Poseidon, still a first-level god, to break free from Qian Renxue's mental control.
As Poseidon broke free, he sensed the Sea God's Trial and froze in shock. The divine sense he had sent down had completed 80% of the trial for Tang San. However, Tang San was now foaming at the mouth, blue-gold blood spilling everywhere.
What was even more astonishing was the dramatic collapse of the once overwhelming faith in the Sea God that had filled the entire ocean. It had fallen by nearly seventy percent, leaving only three layers remaining, an absolute drop that could be described as a cliff. How could Poseidon endure this humiliation?
"Poseidon, what are you trying to do?"
Destruction noticed instantly that the killing intent Poseidon was directing was aimed at Qian Renxue.
Poseidon ignored Destruction's call entirely, and with a wave of his foot, ten divine rings flew from behind him, burning with blue-gold flames. The oceanic power of the Sea God surged forth, and the Sea God's trident waved in the air, forming intricate patterns.
"Golden Thirteen Tridents Combined—Sea God's Twilight. Qian Renxue, I will kill you!"
As Poseidon's final roar echoed, Qian Renxue suddenly appeared in front of him, grabbing him by the neck and stopping him from channeling any more divine power. With a casual lift, she held him up like a small chick.
"Looks like you're awake now. Your Sea God power still has some strength left."
Poseidon screamed frantically, "Qian Renxue, why are you doing this to me? What have I done to provoke you?"
Qian Renxue smirked coldly. "Maybe it's just a moment of whim, or perhaps it's been planned for a long time. As for your Sea God's faith, my family will take it without hesitation. As a reward, I'll grant you a painless death."
Qian Renxue's palm glowed with a cold, freezing aura, and Poseidon's blue-gold blood, his divine body, and his Sea God's power began to freeze. Freezing seawater was harder than freshwater, but for a god king, and especially for Poseidon, a water-type first-level god, it posed no difficulty.
With a flash of ice-blue light, Poseidon, once a living god, was turned into a beautiful, delicate ice sculpture, like a divine artwork, before being tossed toward the Golden Dragon King.
The Golden Dragon King, still recovering from a heavy spiritual blow, was nearly blind to the world. Its senses had been reduced by ninety percent, but the last ten percent felt a powerful presence heading toward it, one that felt like it belonged to a first-level god—likely the Ice God. It immediately erupted in fury.
How dare a mere Ice God challenge it, the mighty Golden Dragon King? Was this creature truly tired of living?
