Chapter 424: Tang San achieves the Half-Step Sea God and challenges Ye Lin
Just as Tang San's Sea God Divine Armor finished fitting,
the Head Spirit Bone quietly floated up.
Around it, a small vortex appeared, seemingly corresponding to the massive vortex outside.
The skull began to change, a dazzling blue-gold radiance shining brightly.
A miniature version of the Trident blade form appeared.
Connecting them was a circular hoop,
forming a blue-gold Trident headband.
At the center of the ring on the headband was a hollowed-out trace of a small Trident.
When it floated up and landed on Tang San's head, binding her long blue hair,
the hollowed-out pattern aligned perfectly with the Sea God Trident Imprint on Tang San's forehead.
Instantly, an intense blue-gold radiance erupted.
The Sea God Trident in front of Tang San, which had been illuminated by the Sea God's Light, also underwent a change.
The golden magic patterns that had once brought Tang San immense Divine Power shone completely.
The intense gold, mixed with the blue of the Sea God's Light,
transformed into a brilliant blue-gold, spreading to every corner of the Trident's shaft.
Simultaneously, the Trident pattern on Tang San's Sea God headband also changed.
While fitting with Tang San's own imprint,
that Trident pattern had transformed into another small, diamond-shaped gemstone imprinted in the center,
making this blue-gold headband look even more perfect and gorgeous.
The clear, impurity-free Sea God's Light shot out from the center of this headband,
shining onto the brand-new Sea God Heart that had just formed on the Sea God Trident.
At this very moment, Tang San felt that she had become the absolute core of this place.
The familiar aura of the Sea God Trident, an even more intimate aura, instantly spread throughout her entire body.
An intense blue-gold light mist rose from around her body, and as this mist became increasingly dense,
it finally transformed into a blue-gold pillar of light that shot into the sky, the surging energy
merging with everything imprinted in the deepest part of Tang San's soul to become an unprecedentedly vast energy.
Slowly opening her eyes, Tang San's pupils had turned completely deep blue, and the world before her was no longer the same;
everything had become extremely layered.
That was not just a sensation from her vision, but more so from her Spiritual Power.
Her Purple Demon Eye had actually broken through from the Micro realm to the Vast realm in an instant,
and her Spiritual Power had gained a tremendous boost.
Her soul began to materialize, though only partially.
Under normal circumstances, when Tang San obtained the Sea God God Position, her soul would materialize into Divine Sense,
but now her strength was too poor, only having half of that,
half materialized, half Divine Sense, half Spiritual Power.
Tang San gripped the Sea God Trident once again.
The weight of ten thousand jin was no longer difficult in her hands.
She could lift it with one hand.
Tang San marveled at the weight of the Sea God Trident; it was truly worthy of being a Divine Artifact.
This was meant for her after she became a god.
Boom! Around the platform,
that massive vortex suddenly burst.
Incomparably violent energy turned into a hurricane, sweeping across the circular platform,
and also sweeping across Tang San's body and the Sea God Trident in front of her.
Tang San seemed not to notice.
At this moment, she only had eyes for that partner destined in her life.
Her right hand slowly lifted.
She finally moved; at this moment, nothing could stop her from making this action.
Her firm right hand, the right hand covered by the Sea God Divine Armor,
firmly and powerfully gripped the Sea God Trident, which had reignited with blue-gold radiance.
The moment Tang San gripped the Sea God Trident,
violent blue-gold flames suddenly soared from her body.
All the turbulence in the air seemed to freeze at this moment.
The next instant, that brilliant blue-gold Sea God Trident,
the Sea God Trident, had already been raised high above Tang San's head, pointing straight at the firmament.
The turbulence formed by the golden seawater came from all directions,
with lightning speed, crazily pouring into Tang San's body,
and also pouring into the Sea God Trident.
Blue-gold flames surrounded Tang San's body,
and from beneath her feet, circle after circle of white light rings slowly rose.
A vigorous voice, filled with reverence, boomed from all directions:
"Sea God's Ninth Trial completed, Sea God God Position compatibility ten percent, Sea God reappears."
"All Spirit Ring cultivation reduced by five hundred years."
Tang San was stunned for a moment; ten percent compatibility?
All Spirit Ring cultivation reduced by five hundred years?
What the hell?
His own Spirit Rings had already become ten-year ones, could they still be reduced?
A semi-transparent Spirit Ring slowly rose from beneath Tang San's feet, looking as if it could shatter at any moment,
followed immediately by the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh.
Then the eighth blue-gold Spirit Ring slowly appeared,
that Eighth Soul Ring which represented the power of a god,
was entirely a brilliant blue-gold.
Although there were only eight Spirit Rings, Tang San fully felt that the likes of Title Douluo from before would be a matter of a single finger in front of him.
At this very moment, Tang San could already feel that he possessed incomparably powerful strength.
The Sea God Trident held high above his head would no longer revert to a pitch-black color due to insufficient energy,
it had already been branded onto Tang San's soul, becoming a part of Tang San's body,
just like those Sea God Divine Armor evolved from soul bones,
no longer distinguishable from Tang San.
That feeling was truly wonderful.
And at the same time, a voice simultaneously rang out in the minds of Dai Mubai and the other five,
"Assisting Sea God's Inheritance, reward one God-Bestowed Soul Ring."
In fact, the rewards obtained by the Shrek Six Monsters did not stop there; just as Tang San held the Sea God Trident high, completing the final Sea God's Inheritance, and the surging blue-gold light shot into the sky,
the red-gold light gate they had been guarding also turned blue-gold,
and six beams of blue-gold light spread out, injecting into their bodies respectively.
This was not power granted to them by Tang San, but the residual Sea God Divine Power that spread out after Tang San absorbed the vast majority of the energy the moment the Sea God's Inheritance was completed.
Let alone the Shrek Six Monsters, even Tang San wanted to absorb this divine power.
Under the effect of this divine power, everyone's soul power climbed rapidly,
and everyone's heartbeat accelerated several times over.
That feeling of soul power being full was simply too wonderful.
Ye Lin looked at the power rushing out from that portal and felt extremely familiar with it,
wasn't that the power of Poseixi from back then?
She now understood a little why a Sacrifice was needed to open the portal,
could it not be done without a Sacrifice?
The entire process of the inheritance was the power of the Sacrifice,
and Tang San's own elevation did not come from a god, but from Poseixi,
the Sea God fused Poseixi's into Tang San's body,
in the original plot, it was the power of two people extremely close to godhood fusing into Tang San's body, shaping the Sea God Tang San.
But now, there was only one person extremely close to godhood, and that was Poseixi,
Tang San's strength...
was also quite good...
So now, Tang San's strength after becoming a god was very interesting,
he should be a god who inherited ninety-nine point nine percent of the Sea God God Position,
perhaps only a sliver stronger than the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
Everything around became illusory and unreal; all the energy in that original golden world had merged into the blue-gold pillar of light as it shot into the sky, and also merged into Tang San's body.
Wearing the Sea God Divine Armor, Tang San deeply felt the aura of that other realm,
the feeling of controlling everything was simply too wonderful.
A divine light flashed in his eyes, and his right hand lightly swung the Sea God Trident forward,
the main blade shimmering with blue-gold brilliance flashed through the air,
and a crack immediately appeared in this space that had become empty.
With a flash of light, he had already passed directly through that crack.
The scenery around changed, and with his feet on solid ground,
Tang San returned to the Sea God Hall where he had met the Sea God.
It was just that this hall was now empty, with no trace of the Sea God.
Tang San looked at the vast Sea God Hall and couldn't help but smile,
from now on, this would be his palace,
she slowly walked toward the huge chair at the very back of the main hall,
her body grew larger step by step, until she transformed into a giant two hundred zhang tall and sat upon it.
The feeling of controlling everything was truly comfortable.
The blue-gold light turned into a stream of light and quietly flickered,
The blue-gold radiance transformed into a streak of light, flashing silently.
The next moment, Tang San had already appeared outside the Sea God Hall.
Looking back, taking a deep look at that magnificent, enormous palace, the smile on Tang San's face grew even richer.
The body drifted upward, a flash of light,
and had already easily passed through the light barrier, entering into that serene seawater.
Entering the water once more,
Tang San felt the immense pressure from the seawater again.
At this moment, Tang San could not help but feel a bit puzzled.
Logically speaking, they were the Sea God; why could they not even control the power of the seawater?
She attempted to use the Trident,
and sure enough, she was able to control the seawater, but why was the amount of this control so small?
The Trident moved again, and a blue light flashed within the newly recast Sea God Heart.
The light gate that had already disappeared in the seawater quietly appeared before Tang San.
The light gate, which had transformed into a blue-gold color, still had flames flickering upon it.
Looking at this flame-lit gate that had turned blue-gold,
while thinking, Tang San stepped forward, holding the Trident.
Finally, they left this buffer zone between the God Realm and the human world,
which was also the place of inheritance for the gods.
The view suddenly opened up; the moment Tang San stepped out of the light gate, all the light patterns inside the entire Sea God Hall turned blue-gold,
as if excitedly welcoming the return of the king.
On the seven circular platforms, the light instantly receded, revealing the figures of Tang San and the other six Shrek Six Monsters.
In front of each person floated a God-Bestowed Soul Ring; reaching out to grasp it,
this was their assurance for their ninth Spirit Ring to break through to one hundred thousand years.
Six people, twelve gazes, simultaneously focused on Tang San. In their gazes were envy, relief, and gratification,
and even a little bit of jealousy.
Tang San could become a god, so naturally, they could also become gods.
Tang San did not speak, looked up toward the roof of the Sea God Hall, and slowly raised the Trident in their hand.
On this Sea God Island, in the Sea God Hall atop Sea God Mountain,
she would announce to all life in the great sea that the Sea God who controlled them had returned.
The blue-gold light appeared in waves, condensing toward the roof of the hall.
Amidst a thunderous boom, the walls surrounding the entire Sea God Hall instantly vanished.
They vanished right within that blue-gold light,
leaving behind only the seven circular platforms in the hall.
A massive blue-gold pillar of light shot into the sky, transforming into an incomparable Sea God's Power that went straight into the high heavens.
This ray of light was so magnificent and vast; this ray of light was also so earth-shaking,
causing the sky above the sea to completely change into the same color.
The sea boiled, and the seawater instantly surged by a hundred meters.
All sea creatures swam crazily toward the surface.
Under the traction of that immense Sea God's Power,
they scrambled to see the sky above the sea that had turned blue-gold.
A faint light flickered, and the expression on Tang San's face became exceptionally calm.
The Sea God Seven Sacred Pillars Guardian Douluo had already knelt on both knees, respectfully bowing in the direction of Tang San.
The sorrow in their eyes had already disappeared at this moment,
and in its place was only an almost frantic excitement.
The very moment that blue-gold pillar of light shot into the sky, Tang San's divine sense had already invaded their brains.
The seven guardians were like puppets controlled by Tang San.
All the residents on Sea God Island had already arrived at open spaces, bowing down toward the direction of Sea God Mountain.
Tears of excitement flickered in their eyes.
How many years had it been, through how many generations, they had finally waited for this moment, waited for the return of Lord Sea God.
That was their faith!
Outside Sea God Island, on the sea surface, the entire Demon Soul Great White Shark tribe appeared on the water.
The Demon Soul Great White Shark Wang Xiaobai was gazing toward the direction of Sea God Mountain,
gazing at that blue-gold pillar of light shooting into the sky.
Spirit Empire, Wuhun City.
In a pitch-black secret chamber, in front of a purple-black figure, a massive purple-black light gate was appearing.
One of her feet was about to step into that light gate.
But just at this moment, the light gate trembled violently, and a layer of pale blue light flashed past.
"This is..."
The purple-black figure froze for a moment.
"Another one, it is actually another one."
"Good, good. Wait for me, I will definitely return."
As she spoke, she took a firm step forward; that purple-black light gate seemed to swallow all the light.
The next moment, that purple-black figure and the light gate vanished together within this dark chamber filled with a sinister aura.
That blue-gold radiance lasted for a full hour before it completely ended; Tang San slowly closed her eyes, feeling the space between heaven and earth,
feeling every call and act of worship from within the vast ocean, as Faith Power nourished her heart.
Countless living beings in the ocean were calling out to her with their most devout voices.
And Tang San's Sea God's Power sublimated within this faith.
Tang San withdrew her Sea God Divine Power; she had already used her divine sense to announce the return of the Sea God to the entire ocean.
From this moment on,
all the oceans were hers, and were under her control.
Tang San looked at Ye Lin with an evil, charming smile.
At this moment, there was no longer any need to call her Sister Lin.
"Ye Lin, I've called you Sister Lin for such a long time,"
"Isn't it time you called me Sister San?"
"That way, I can go a little easier on you when I teach you a lesson."
