Chapter 104 Poseidon's Trident
The Poseidon Platform trembled violently, as did the Poseidon Temple and the entire Poseidon Mountain.
Standing at the foot of Poseidon Mountain, Tang San, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Zhu Zhuqing all stared wide-eyed at the summit of the mountain.
At this moment, the sky was shrouded in thick dark clouds, and Poseidon Island was immersed in a depressing gloom.
However, just as things were getting dull, the Temple of Poseidon suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden light, like the light of dawn. The light released by the magnificent temple pierced through layers of darkness like a sharp sword, illuminating not only the majestic Poseidon Mountain, but also seemingly draping the entire Poseidon Island in a veil of light.
A thick beam of golden light shot straight up from the top of the temple into the sky, bravely challenging the dense dark clouds.
At the same time, the seven sacred pillars on Poseidon Island seemed to respond to some divine call, shining brightly. Seven golden beams of different shapes surged out from all directions, eventually converging with the golden pillar of light soaring into the sky from the Temple of Poseidon, forming an unstoppable and magnificent force that shook the heavens and the earth.
The dark clouds suspended in the sky, illuminated by the brilliant golden light they conceived, completely transformed into clusters of shimmering golden clouds.
The golden light leisurely reshaped itself in the air, gradually outlining the silhouette of a person, ethereal yet solemn, clad in shimmering golden armor, with long, deep blue hair cascading down his shoulders like a waterfall. The armor covered his body almost seamlessly, exuding an aura of holiness and inviolability.
What is particularly striking is that this humanoid figure of light and shadow is holding tightly the golden trident that seems capable of cleaving the sky and shaking the earth, exuding extraordinary majesty.
Before the Sea God Temple, the guardian Douluo of the Seven Sacred Pillars of the Sea God witnessed this scene and were filled with awe. Almost simultaneously, they knelt down, their eyes filled with piety and fervor, paying the deepest worship to the illusory image that appeared in mid-air.
This scene not only unfolded in front of the Temple of Poseidon, but also spread to every corner of Poseidon Island. The island's inhabitants, whoever witnessed the strange phenomenon in the sky, all came out of their homes and gathered in open spaces, kneeling and worshipping to express their sincerest respect and submission to the magnificent illusory figure.
Tang San's eyes flickered with complex emotions as he murmured, "Could it be... that Lin Yu succeeded in the seventh trial of the Sea God?"
Standing beside him, Dai Mubai comforted him, "Little San, although you only have Black-level Level 3, your soul power improvement speed is the fastest in Shrek Academy. Don't be discouraged, you're already very outstanding!"
"But why...?"
Tang San knew he was excellent, but why wasn't he the one to undergo the Nine Trials of the Sea God?
With his current strength, it's simply impossible for him to seek revenge against the Spirit Hall.
Dai Mubai understood his thoughts, and continued, "Actually, if it weren't for the Spirit Hall's interference, the Heaven Dou Empire would have long been our Star Luo Empire's possession. Although the two great empires have joined forces to fight against the Spirit Hall this time, in the future, the Star Luo Empire will still be the ruler of this continent. Xiao San, why don't you come with us to the Star Luo Empire? With your talent and abilities, I guarantee that the Star Luo royal family will definitely not treat you unfairly."
"..."
Tang San is now the King of Lan Hao, and the current Crown Prince is his student. In the future, he can be said to be second only to the emperor and above all others.
Moreover, he would never accept anyone riding on his head, neither the Snow Night Emperor nor Crown Prince Avalanche.
Dai Mubai's invitation was utter nonsense to him.
"Brother Dai, thank you for your kindness! To me, fame and fortune are like fleeting clouds, gone in an instant. The Spirit Hall not only killed my mother, but also murdered Xiao Wu. Moreover, they have wolfish ambitions, attempting to swallow up two great empires, causing countless civilians to live in misery. I swear to never share the same sky with the Spirit Hall."
Tang San disguised his selfish motives in a dignified manner and adopted a righteous and awe-inspiring posture as he spoke.
Suddenly, the entire sea seemed to be touched by an invisible force, and all living beings keenly sensed the aura emanating from the golden phantom.
At this moment, the surging waves inexplicably fell silent, the heart of the ocean returned to tranquility, all things ceased to exist, and their bodies involuntarily turned towards the island of Poseidon, expressing the deepest awe and worship with a trembling posture.
Even the deep-sea demon whale king, which was about to transform into a dragon, had to open its huge single eye, its eyes filled with disbelief, shock, and indescribable resentment.
Countless tiny golden rays surged in from all directions, originating not only from the mystery of Poseidon Island but also from the vast depths of the boundless sea.
If the Sea God Douluo Poseidon were to witness this scene, she would surely understand that this is the light of faith she spoke of—the profound and unwavering worship of the Sea God by all things in the ocean.
Bathed in the light woven by faith, the enormous phantom of the sea god in mid-air gradually shed its illusion and became lifelike, as if it were truly real.
While Tang San and the other three were still in shock, they suddenly realized that the face of the Sea God hidden beneath the golden battle armor was so familiar.
"Lin Yu! That...that's Lin Yu!"
Inside the Temple of Poseidon, on the Platform of Poseidon.
Zhou Yu raised his right hand high, gripping a dazzling trident of the sea god. The trident was over twelve feet long and bathed in an incomparably brilliant golden light, displaying supreme divine power.
Ning Rongrong also completed her seventh trial by helping Zhou Yu pull out the Trident of Poseidon.
At the same time, Zhou Yu could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground with a thud, losing consciousness.
As he fell, the once dazzling light in the hall dimmed considerably. Most notably, the Trident of Poseidon seemed to be swallowed by the night in an instant, returning to the deep black it had been before Zhou Yu had taken it.
The massive halberd leaned against Zhou Yu's body, its long handle striking the surface of the Sea God's Platform with a deafening roar. This blow caused the entire Sea God Island to tremble slightly, as if even its foundation was shaken.
"Lin Yu!"
Ning Rongrong was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to remove the now-cold Trident of Poseidon.
Unexpectedly, the artifact remained as stable as a rock, without moving an inch.
It should be noted that Ning Rongrong's current soul power is already at level 80. Once she absorbs all the soul ring rewards she receives, she will be able to break through to the Soul Douluo level.
"I'll do it."
Ning Rongrong turned around in surprise and saw that Poseidon had quietly squatted down beside her and spoke softly in her usual calm tone.
That strength, which she once felt was out of reach, now seemed so close.
Ning Rongrong thought to herself that with Poseidon's abilities, picking up the Trident of Poseidon would be an easy task for her.
However, Poseidon not only squatted down next to Zhou Yu, but also had an unusually solemn expression. He gripped the Trident of Poseidon tightly with both hands, and his soul power surged around him.
She resolutely released her martial spirit, and eight black spirit rings and one dazzling red spirit ring appeared around her body, all nine rings appearing. In order to lift this sacred trident of the sea god, she seemed to have exhausted all her strength, and every bit of power was concentrated in this moment.
"--rise!"
Poseidon let out a low shout, and an immense amount of soul power erupted from his hands, enveloping the Trident of Poseidon.
Even so, the Trident of Poseidon was not picked up all at once, but left Zhou Yu's body very slowly.
Poseidon's face was tense, and the veins on his forehead were even bulging, indicating that he was indeed using all his strength.
Seeing this, Ning Rongrong immediately released her Eight Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, and without hesitation, she used one power amplification and one soul power amplification, and the two beams of colorful light shone on Poseidon.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's role as the number one auxiliary martial soul in the world immediately became apparent. With the two amplifying lights from Ning Rongrong, Poseidon's expression calmed down considerably. She quickly picked up the Trident of the Sea God and gently placed it next to Zhou Yu.
She glanced back at Ning Rongrong, her eyes filled with admiration.
