Chapter 102: Sea God Trident

The Haishentai trembled violently, and with it, the Sea God Temple and even the entire Sea God Mountain shook.

Standing at the foot of Sea God Mountain, Tang San, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Zhu Zhuqing all widened their eyes, gazing toward the peak of Sea God Mountain.

At this moment, the sky was shrouded by thick dark clouds, and Sea God Island was immersed in a suffocating gloom.

However, just as this heaviness settled, the Sea God Temple suddenly erupted with dazzling golden light like the dawn, its brilliance piercing through layers of darkness like a sharp sword, illuminating not only the towering Sea God Mountain but also draping the entire Sea God Island in a veil of light.

A thick column of golden light shot straight from the temple's peak into the clouds, boldly challenging the dense dark clouds.

At the same time, the seven Sacred Pillars on Sea God Island seemed to respond to some divine call, each beginning to shine; seven beams of golden light of different forms surged forth from all directions, finally converging with the golden pillar rising from the Sea God Temple into an unstoppable, overwhelming force that shook heaven and earth.

Under the brilliant golden radiance they had spawned, the dark clouds suspended in the sky completely transformed into clouds shimmering with golden light.

That mass of golden light leisurely reshaped itself in the air, gradually outlining the figure of a person, illusory yet solemn, clad in golden armor flowing with light and color, with deep blue hair cascading like a waterfall over his shoulders; the armor covered his body almost seamlessly, exuding an aura of sacred inviolability.

Most striking of all, tightly gripped in the hands of this humanoid light figure was the Golden Trident, a weapon seemingly capable of cleaving the sky and shaking the earth, radiating immense majesty.

Before the Sea God Temple, the Douluo guardians of the seven Sacred Pillars of the Sea God, witnessing this scene, were all filled with awe; almost simultaneously, they bent their knees and knelt, their eyes brimming with devotion and fervor, offering their deepest worship to the illusory figure appearing in mid-air.

This scene unfolded not only before the Sea God Temple but spread to every corner of Sea God Island; the island's residents, no matter who they were, upon seeing the strange phenomenon in the sky, all unconsciously stepped out of their dwellings, gathered in open spaces, knelt down, and expressed their most sincere respect and submission to that magnificent illusory figure.

Complex emotions flickered in Tang San's eyes as he murmured softly, "Could it be... Lin Yu has succeeded in his Sea God's Seventh Trial?"

Dai Mubai, standing beside him, comforted him, "Xiao San, although you only have the Black Grade Three Examination, your soul power growth speed is the fastest among us Shrek Academy members. Do not be discouraged; you are already excellent!"

"But why..."

Tang San knew he was excellent, yet why was it not him who was undertaking the Sea God's Nine Trials?

With his current strength, seeking revenge against the Spirit Hall was simply impossible.

Dai Mubai understood his thoughts, so he continued, "Actually, without the Spirit Hall's obstruction, Tiandou Diguo would long ago have been within our Xingluo Diguo's grasp. Although these two great empires have joined forces to confront the Spirit Hall this time, in the future, the ruler of this continent will still be our Xingluo Diguo. Xiao San, why not come with us to Xingluo Diguo? With your talent and ability, I guarantee the Xingluo royal family will absolutely not treat you poorly."

"..."

Tang San was now the Blue Hao King, and the current crown prince was his student; in the future, he could be said to be second only to one person and above ten thousand others.

Moreover, he would never accept anyone riding on his head; Emperor Xueye could not, and Crown Prince Xue Beng could not either.

Dai Mubai's invitation was, to him, nothing but nonsense.

"Dai Laoda, thank you for your kindness! To me, fame and profit are like floating clouds, vanishing in an instant. The Spirit Hall not only caused my mother's death but also killed Xiao Wu. Furthermore, they harbor wolfish ambitions, attempting to annex the two great empires, causing countless common people to live in dire suffering; I swear eternal enmity with the Spirit Hall."

Tang San dressed up his selfish motives in lofty terms, adopting a posture of righteous indignation as he spoke.

Suddenly, the entire sea seemed touched by an invisible force; all living creatures keenly detected the aura emanating from that golden phantom.

At this moment, the surging waves strangely fell silent, the heart of the ocean returned to tranquility, and all things ceased; their bodies involuntarily turned toward Sea God Island, expressing their deepest awe and worship with trembling postures.

Even the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, which was about to transform into a Dragon, had to open its massive single eye, filled with incredulous shock and an indescribable unwillingness.

Countless tiny sparks of golden light surged from all directions; they originated not only from the mystery of Sea God Island but also, vast and immense, from the depths of the boundless ocean.

If the Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi witnessed this scene, she would surely realize that this was the light of faith she had spoken of—the deep and steadfast worship of all oceanic creatures for the Sea God. Bathed in this light woven from faith, the massive Sea God phantom in mid-air gradually shed its void-like quality, becoming vivid and lifelike, as if truly existing.

Amidst their astonishment, Tang San and the other three suddenly realized that the Sea God's face concealed beneath the golden armor was so familiar.

"Lin Yu! That... that is Lin Yu!"

Inside the Sea God Temple, on the Haishentai.

Zhou Yu raised his right hand high, tightly gripping a brilliantly magnificent Sea God Trident; this trident was over one zhang and two chi in length, its entire body bathed in unparalleled dazzling golden light, displaying supreme divine power.

Because Ning Rongrong had assisted Zhou Yu in drawing the Sea God Trident, she too had completed her Seventh Trial.

At the same time, Zhou Yu could no longer hold on; with a thud, he fell to the ground and fainted.

With his fall, the brilliance that had previously shone brightly within the hall suddenly dimmed considerably; most notably, the Sea God Trident, in an instant, seemed swallowed by night, returning to the deep black it possessed before Zhou Yu drew it.

The massive shaft of the trident leaned heavily against Zhou Yu's body, its long handle end striking the Haishentai surface with a deafening boom; this blow made the entire Sea God Island tremble slightly, as if even its foundations were shaken.

"Lin Yu!"

Ning Rongrong, greatly alarmed, hurried forward to try and move the now cold Sea God Trident.

Unexpectedly, that divine artifact remained as stable as a rock, utterly unmoving.

It must be known that Ning Rongrong's soul power was already at level eighty; after absorbing the Spirit Ring reward she had obtained, she would be able to break through to the Soul Douluo level.

"Let me."

Ning Rongrong turned back in surprise, only to see Bo Saixi quietly squatting beside her, speaking softly in her usual calm tone.

That strength, which she had once felt was far beyond her reach, now seemed so close at hand.

Ning Rongrong thought to herself that with Bo Saixi's capabilities, lifting the Sea God Trident would be nothing but a trivial matter for her.

However, Bo Saixi, now squatting close beside Zhou Yu, had an unusually grave expression; she gripped the Sea God Trident tightly with both hands, her soul power surging violently around her.

She resolutely released her martial soul; eight black Spirit Rings and one dazzling red Spirit Ring circled her body, all nine rings appearing simultaneously; to lift this sacred Sea God Trident, she seemed to be pouring out all her strength, every ounce of power concentrated in this single moment.

"—Lift!"

Bo Saixi let out a low shout, and an immense surge of soul power erupted from her hands, enveloping the Sea God Trident.

Even so, the Sea God Trident was not lifted all at once; instead, it slowly, very slowly, separated from Zhou Yu's body.

Bo Saixi's expression was tense; veins could even be seen bulging on her forehead; she was truly using her full strength.

Seeing this, Ning Rongrong immediately released her Eight Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, without hesitation applying one power amplification and one soul power amplification; two beams of colored light shone upon Bo Saixi.

The role of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda as the number one auxiliary martial soul immediately manifested; receiving Ning Rongrong's two beams of amplification light, Bo Saixi's expression instantly became much calmer, and she quickly lifted the Sea God Trident, gently placing it beside Zhou Yu.

She turned her head to look at Ning Rongrong, her eyes holding a few more marks of approval.
