Chapter 180: New Mission, Devastating the Invading Foe
Tang Chen, wielding the Asura Divine Sword, radiated an aura of unstoppable force.
The scent of battle filled the air.
Yet, despite this, Bo Saixi remained steadfastly in front of Qin Xiao.
She demonstrated her resolve through action, refusing to yield!
Witnessing this, Tang Chen's pupils narrowed, his voice cold: "Bo Saixi, I gave you a chance. If you're incapable, don't blame me for showing no mercy."
With his words, he vanished from his original position, the Asura Divine Sword in his hand emitting a surge of red sword energy over ten meters long, slashing towards Bo Saixi.
The terrifying momentum seemed poised to cleave Qin Xiao and Bo Saixi in half together.
"Step back. The current Tang Chen is not someone you can handle," Bo Saixi said to Qin Xiao without turning around, then rushed towards the Asura Divine Sword without hesitation.
Qin Xiao saw a towering figure behind Bo Saixi, reaching three to five hundred meters.
He wielded a massive trident.
Noble, majestic, emanating an aura that dominated all beings.
Qin Xiao's mind trembled fiercely.
Sea God!
A name emerged in Qin Xiao's mind.
Of course, this figure wasn't the real Sea God but Bo Saixi's martial soul.
This was also the origin of the title Sea God Douluo.
The pressure Tang Chen brought lessened considerably the moment this phantom appeared.
Seizing the opportunity, Qin Xiao instinctively retreated a hundred meters.
Boom!
Waves surged, and sword energy split the sky.
The battle between Bo Saixi and Tang Chen was undoubtedly terrifying.
The guardians of the Sacred Pillars on Sea God Island watched in astonishment.
They couldn't even imagine participating in the battle. Even approaching the battlefield between Bo Saixi and Tang Chen would likely result in severe injury or death.
Even the strongest among them, the Sea Dragon Douluo, had a pale face and clenched fists helplessly, watching from the sidelines.
Only Qin Xiao waited for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow.
He had some confidence in causing certain injuries to Tang Chen, but the price he would pay was uncertain.
In the next moment, Qin Xiao saw the huge phantom of the Sea God wielding the trident fiercely clash with Tang Chen, who held the Asura Divine Sword.
The surging waves reached hundreds of meters high, obscuring the sky.
The world darkened!
Everyone's hearts uncontrollably raced.
Boom!
Unexpectedly, it happened.
Numerous fine cracks suddenly appeared on the huge phantom of the Sea God, then the cracks began to glow, and with a thunderous roar, the giant phantom shattered into pieces.
Bo Saixi's figure plummeted straight into the sea.
"It's shattered!"
"The Grand Priest."
On Sea God Island, the faces of the numerous Sacred Pillar guardians changed simultaneously, rushing out of Sea God Island without hesitation to assist Bo Saixi against Tang Chen.
However, Tang Chen at this moment was like a divine presence, his Asura Divine Sword sweeping terror-inducing sword energy, and the seven guardians of the Sacred Pillars were no match for him, forced to retreat one after another.
Even the Sea Horse Douluo had a terrifying and gruesome wound on his chest, bleeding profusely.
"Fools dare to challenge the mighty!" Tang Chen sneered coldly.
In his eyes, only Bo Saixi and Qin Xiao barely warranted his attention.
"Wait, where's Qin Xiao?" Tang Chen suddenly noticed something amiss—Qin Xiao was nowhere to be seen.
He surveyed his surroundings but found no trace of Qin Xiao.
"Could it be that kid escaped?" Tang Chen frowned. Upon careful consideration, it wasn't impossible.
Boom!
The waves rolled, Bo Saixi broke through the sea surface, standing tall in the air, facing Tang Chen from a distance.
Tang Chen looked at Bo Saixi, her red dress torn, blood flowing from her skin, and smiled, "Bo Saixi, do you see? The one you sacrificed your life for has abandoned you. Was your sacrifice worth it?"
"I really can't understand what's so good about that kid that made you risk your life to protect him. Do you regret it now?" Bo Saixi shook her head slightly. "For the sake of my faith, I have no regrets."
With that, she once again thrust the golden scepter in her hand, already showing fine cracks, like a spear.
At the same time, she prayed in her heart, 'Qin Xiao, please hurry up, I can't hold on much longer.'
That's right.
Qin Xiao was indeed not here.
But before leaving, Qin Xiao told Bo Saixi his whereabouts.
On the other side.
Qin Xiao had already arrived on a small island at the center of the ring-shaped sea area.
However, Qin Xiao didn't come here to revisit old memories.
Just outside Sea God Island, while Bo Saixi was battling Tang Chen, he discovered that the fifth assessment task was unexpectedly: [Pull out the trident of the Sea God].
Qin Xiao remembered that in the original story, this task was Tang San's seventh assessment, so it had been advanced by two assessments.
However, Qin Xiao could vaguely guess that the reason the task had been advanced was likely related to Tang Chen's arrival.
The Sea God might not be in this world, but he wasn't dead either. When Bo Saixi desperately invoked the power of the Sea God, the Sea God should have understood what crisis was happening on Sea God Island and naturally wanted to find a way to deal with it.
Qin Xiao speculated that letting him pull out the Sea God's divine weapon, the Sea God Trident, was the Sea God's plan to turn the tide.
He secretly conveyed his thoughts to Bo Saixi, and after receiving her agreement, he took advantage of the lull in the battle to come here.
"Bo Saixi also said, as written in the original, the Sea God's Trident should be here."
Qin Xiao looked up at the one thousand and one steps in front of him, and took the first step towards the Sea God's temple at the mountain top.
Quite unexpectedly.
Qin Xiao found that the pressure brought by the Sea God's Light, which had caused him trouble during his training, had no effect on him.
"This saves a lot of trouble."
"The Sea God is keeping up with the times, knowing there's a crisis and relaxing the policy."
A hint of joy flashed across Qin Xiao's face, and he quickened his pace.
Soon, Qin Xiao arrived at the one thousand and one steps outside the Sea God's temple.
The last time he came here, Bo Saixi came out of the Sea God's temple and dispelled his idea of entering and taking a look. This time, however, no one stopped him.
Opening the door and entering the temple, Qin Xiao's vision darkened.
Unlike what he had imagined, the magnificent Sea God's temple could be described with the word 'simple'.
Empty, or rather spacious.
The light seemed very dim.
Looking around, except for eight platforms, there were no other buildings in the main hall.
The seven platforms formed a circle, seemingly guarding the central platform.
In the center of the central platform, there was an upright iron rod. But it was not very regular, with a larger top, conical in shape, and completely black.
"The Sea God Trident!"
Qin Xiao's eyes became hot.
He knew that the iron rod on the central platform was the Sea God Trident inverted.
Taking a big step forward, Qin Xiao seemed to possess the ability to teleport, and instantly arrived in front of the Sea God Trident.
Without any hesitation, he raised both hands and grasped the handle of the Sea God Trident firmly.
He immediately felt the feedback from the Sea God Trident, as if a current passed through his body. Then, a warm sensation spread along the handle at an astonishing speed.
"It's starting."
Qin Xiao frowned, his face filled with solemnity.
He knew that the Sea God Trident was about to show its divine might, and he began to exert force.
"Rise!"
With a furious shout, his soul power erupted along with the strength in his body.
The first soul ring flashed, and a three to five meter tall Thunder Titan appeared behind Qin Xiao.
There was a mysterious power in the Sea God's temple that greatly reduced the power of Qin Xiao's soul skills.
Only the Thunder Titan, like Qin Xiao, held the Sea God Trident and exerted force together.
Only saw.
The trident was lifted bit by bit.
"Not enough!"
A thought flashed in Qin Xiao's mind, and the ninth soul ring emitted an astonishing light.
Soon, a set of Thunder Armor appeared on Qin Xiao's body again, enhancing his aura.
Swish!
Suddenly, the trident mark on Qin Xiao's forehead also began to glow, and golden light poured into the Sea God Trident, making Qin Xiao feel lighter in his hands.
This was the advantage brought by the Sea God's affinity.
"Again!"
Once again, he gathered his strength, and the effect was much better than before.
If before Qin Xiao exerted force inch by inch, now the Sea God Trident began to be pulled out at a speed of ten centimeters.
At some point, Qin Xiao's palms were already bleeding.
He endured as if he didn't feel any pain, gritting his teeth.
There's only one chance, and he won't give up no matter how difficult it gets.
As time passed, more and more blood flowed from his palms, trickling down the handle of the trident.
Wherever the blood flowed, demonic patterns appeared on the trident, emitting a golden-red light.
Gradually, the appearance of the trident appeared before Qin Xiao's eyes.
The trident looked natural, resembling a fork.
The difference was that the main blade and the side blades of the trident were as sharp as swords, impossible for anyone to ignore its sharpness.
When a triangular groove appeared on the trident, another change occurred.
The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud flew out from Qin Xiao's brow again, accurately fitting into the groove.
Click!
With a crisp sound, the trident began to erupt with a dazzling golden light.
The originally pitch-black hall seemed to be ignited by the golden light, incredibly bright.
"It weighs almost nothing now!"
"It's only about a hundred or so catties."
Qin Xiao's eyes were filled with joyous surprise, and he raised the Sea God Trident high!
An unprecedented sacred aura burst forth from the position of the Sea God Trident, turning into a huge pillar of light that shot up into the sky, directly hitting the top of the hall. Dragon-like trembling sounds continued to emanate from the trident.
Because of the battle between Bo Saixi and Tang Chen, Sea God Island was covered by a layer of gloom, making it feel oppressive.
But at this moment, the Sea God Temple lit up, bursting with intense golden light, illuminating Sea God Mountain, seemingly lighting up the entire Sea God Island.
A thick golden pillar of light soared into the sky, dazzling and magnificent.
"What's happening!"
Tang Chen's Asura Divine Sword slashed out a hundred meters long blade, forcing Bo Saixi back, while he himself retreated a hundred meters, turning his head to look at Sea God Island.
His eyes were filled with shock and confusion.
Bo Saixi first fell into the sea, then resurfaced, slowly exhaling a breath, a relieved expression fleeting across her face.
She knew that Qin Xiao had successfully pulled out the Sea God Trident, and it was time for the counterattack.
"What is this!"
"Could it be that the Sea God has sensed the crisis on Sea God Island and manifested himself!"
"..."
The seven Pillars Guardians were also shocked.
Suddenly.
A strange expression flashed across their faces.
Through the connection between the seven Pillars, they already knew what had happened.
At the same time, the seven Pillars of the Sea God on Sea God Island also lit up at the same time, seven thick and thin golden lights surging from different directions. They converged into one in mid-air, forming a towering figure!
He wore golden armor and held a golden trident that seemed capable of splitting heaven and earth.
"Your Majesty Sea God!"
"Your Majesty Sea God!"
"..."
Although the towering figure didn't reveal any features, the Pillars Guardians knew that it was their Sea God Majesty, whom they had worshipped for countless years.
Above the sea, countless sea creatures, sea soul masters, worshipped the only true body of the Sea God.
Almost simultaneously, countless sea creatures and sea soul masters knelt down on the ground, their devout eyes filled with fervent light, worshipping the illusion in the sky.
The might of the Sea God was visible for miles.
Countless sea creatures and sea soul masters knelt on the ground, offering their devout beliefs.
Even among the Sea Soul Beasts, there were believers in the Sea God.
"The Sea God, could he still descend?"
Tang Chen also saw the golden phantom, his brow furrowing even tighter.
He couldn't help but mutter in his heart, "Do you have to intervene in the matters of the Douluo Continent too? Isn't that a bit too much?"
After all, the Sea God was a lofty deity, who wouldn't want to lose face? In the Sea God Temple, the divine light of the Sea God Trident in Qin Xiao's hands gradually receded.
At this point, the Sea God Trident in his hand had changed.
The black color on the Sea God Trident had completely disappeared, leaving only brilliant golden light. Every golden line was so clear, extending all the way to the top.
The diamond-shaped gem transformed by the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was embedded in the middle and lower part of it. Qin Xiao also noticed that thin as silk golden light was coming from all directions, continuously merging into the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
No.
It should be said that it continuously merged into the heart of the Sea God.
Qin Xiao reached out with his left hand, but touched nothing.
His hand passed through the golden thread.
"Could this be the power of faith in the legend?"
Qin Xiao's eyes flashed, retracting his hand.
[Sea God's Fifth Test, pulling out the Sea God Trident, passed. Reward: Sea God affinity increased by fifteen percent, reward: possession of Sea God Trident usage rights.]
Sure enough, this was the reward.
Qin Xiao didn't find it unexpected.
"Tang Chen, now get ready to accept my return gift!" Qin Xiao's eyes flashed with a fierce light.
But the next moment, the successive sixth assessment made Qin Xiao startled.
[Sea God's Sixth Test: Cooperate with Bo Saixi to severely injure the attacking enemy.]
