Chapter 148: Azure Dragon! Azure Dragon Douluo Li Fei! Divine Realm, Poseidon

A brief summary: these are the soul rings and soul skills he currently possesses:

First soul skill: Azure Dragon Ten Forces! Azure Dragon Heaven‑and‑Earth Staff!

Second soul skill: Azure Dragon's Power! Azure Dragon's Soul! Third soul skill: Azure Dragon Guard! Absolute Guard! Fourth soul skill: Azure Dragon Nine Illusions! Clone Phantoms! Fifth soul skill: Dragon Soaring Seven Stars! Stars Descend from Heaven! Sixth soul skill: Destiny Seven Stars! Blessing Divine Rain! Seventh soul skill: martial soul True Form! Destiny's Power! Eighth soul skill: Azure Dragon Shattering Heavenly Power! Azure Dragon Extinguishing Wave! Ninth soul skill: Azure Dragon·Demon Whale King's Soul! Azure Dragon Devouring Light Wave!

After the soul rings entered the hundred‑thousand‑year stage, they each granted him a second soul skill.

Just the skills within the soul rings number a full eighteen, not to mention the additional soul bones and extra skills that are not counted among the soul rings.

Definitely over twenty in total! Absolutely terrifying! Red Red Red gold

Eight reds and one gold—nine soul rings—appear on him, and the aura is especially shocking.

His figure is framed as if he were a true deity.

"What a stunning soul‑ring configuration."

"Now you are a title Douluo; have you thought of your title yet?"

Gu Yue's eyes flashed with brilliance, and she exclaimed in amazement.

Li Fei's nine soul rings slowly contracted, he took a deep breath, and said, "My title shall be Azure Dragon Douluo."

"That matter is settled here; let's go back."

Li Fei looked at Gu Yue.

Gu Yue nodded, "Alright."

He waved his hand, the spatial gate opened, and he led Gu Yue inside.

The formation in this place also vanished.

The entire sea area returned to its former calm.

On Sea God Island, Bo Saixi suddenly detected a message returning via the Sea God's Light, and her expression changed: "This is the life light of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King—has it actually been extinguished!?"

Before Poseidon the Sea God ascended to the Divine Realm, he deliberately placed a Sea God Seal on it to keep a fallback and prevent its death, a seal specifically used to monitor the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's life signatures.

This is the ninth soul ring Poseidon left for his successors, also a crucial part of later assessments, so it naturally cannot go wrong.

But now you tell me the Deep Sea Demon Whale King died silently, without a sound?

"What exactly happened?"

"I just monitored the ocean, and there was clearly no strange movement!"

"If the Deep Sea Demon Whale King died from enduring a million‑year thunder tribulation, the disturbance would be huge; I couldn't have missed it here."

"But if it was killed, the opponent wouldn't surrender, and the battle would also cause a massive disturbance, yet everything was so calm."

"Something's wrong; it's really off!"

Bo Saixi was completely bewildered.

It felt utterly unbelievable.

But she could never figure out how it actually died.

So she decided to go herself to the Whale Sea area to investigate! The Whale Sea area was tranquil, with gentle wind and bright sun, yet it gave Bo Saixi a sense of something being off.

Originally this sea area was dangerous; the sky should have been shrouded in dark clouds.

"It seems the death of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King caused a huge change in this sea area." "Indeed, this place still has a lingering smell of gunpowder, not for long."

"A massive battle must have broken out just now, so why didn't I notice?"

"In this world, who can match a million‑year Deep Sea Demon Whale King? Even without the aid of the Sea God's power, I am no match for it."

Bo Saixi furrowed her brows, entered the sea, and began investigating.

She discovered that many whales had died here.

But some survived, so she captured a few and began interrogating them.

She learned something that made her heart race.

Indeed, just as she guessed, two humans arrived moments ago; one male transformed into a cyan giant dragon and attacked the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. The whale king could not withstand it, retreated step by step into the ocean, but shortly after, it sacrificed itself and became that human's ninth soul ring. That human's soul‑ring configuration is eight reds and one gold—truly terrifying. They all hid beneath the deep sea, trembling and watching, too scared to surface until the two humans left, after which they dared to emerge.

"This matter is beyond my comprehension."

"I must report this to the Sea God Lord; since the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is dead, a soul beast must replace its position to become the successor's ninth soul ring."

Bo Saixi wore a complex and shocked expression, did not harm those whales, and left in a hurry.

Returning to Sea God Island, she entered the main hall of worship, knelt before the statue of Sea God Poseidon, clasped her hands, bowed her head, and devoutly reported the events of the sea area.

The statue serves as a medium for communication between the mortal realm and the divine realm.

It can connect to Poseidon of the divine realm! The Divine Realm!

Deep within that unreachable divine domain, Poseidon's divine‑domain dojo stands tall and mysterious.

It resembles a crystal palace, its transparent walls shimmering blue in the sunlight, as if revealing the ocean's deepest secret.

Around the dojo, the raging sea rolls, at times gentle as a lover's whisper, at times fierce as the roar of war drums.

Stepping into the dojo, the first thing that catches the eye is the massive Sea God trident at the center; it is not a heavy iron weapon but a light object made of countless bubbles, dazzling with radiant brilliance.

Around the trident, various marine creatures use their bodies to paint vivid murals; they swim or play, adorning the sacred ground with vibrant life.

Walking on the floor paved with the purest sea sand, the sound of waves crashing against reefs fills the ears, weaving together into hymns of the sea.

Along the way, pearl‑like shells lie scattered, their interiors emitting a faint glow, like stars fallen to the seabed, guiding the path to the divine domain.

At the deepest part of the dojo lies a magically enchanted sea area, its water crystal clear as if it could cleanse all dust.

This is a paradise for all marine life and also Poseidon's place of judgment.

When the guilty step in, the water churns into angry waves; when the righteous arrive, the surface becomes mirror‑smooth, reflecting their pure hearts.

The divine‑domain dojo is not only a symbol of power but also the embodiment of the sea's spirit.

Here one can feel the sea's vastness and depth, experience its gentleness and fury, and comprehend its sacred mystery.

Every breath is filled with the ocean's scent, every heartbeat syncs with the tide.

This is the holy land of all seas, Poseidon's divine domain, a beautiful and fantastical realm belonging solely to the ocean world.

Inside the Sea God Palace, on the foremost seat, a solemn and sacred figure sat high, emanating a soft sea‑blue light from his body, as if he were the ancestor of all seas, the mother.

This person is none other than one of the chief gods of the Divine Realm, the first‑rank Sea God Poseidon! He is also a terrifying existence who, relying on his own formidable strength and aided by the boundless power of oceanic faith, self‑created a godhood to become a true deity! (End of chapter)
