Douluo: Dragon King's Star Devouring Wings

Chapter 612 Poseidon's Helmet (4.8k)

"Father, what... what are you doing?" Chen Xinjie understood Chen Yiming's words. Being able to defeat five quasi-gods on his own, Qian Gu Huang Yu's strength could not be measured by normal standards.

But yesterday, even with five people working together, Chen Yiming couldn't defeat Qian Gu Huang Yu. Could it be that he can do it all by himself today?
Chen Yiming sneered, "I can't do it myself, but it can."

As he spoke, Chen Yiming stomped on the Eternal Heaven beneath his feet, then said meaningfully, "Xinjie, the existence of the Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather is truly beyond expectation. Only when she dies can this world regain its balance."

Chen Xinjie understood Chen Yiming's meaning. The reason why these families had maintained a balance over the years was because none of them could do anything to the others.

It was the appearance of the Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather that broke the balance that the major families had maintained for so many years. Therefore, if she were to die, the balance would be restored.

"Go, Xinjie. It is your responsibility to continue the future of the Poseidon family. My responsibility is to ensure that the Poseidon family still has a future," Chen Yiming said calmly.

Tears welled up in Chen Xinjie's eyes. He knew this would be the last time he would ever see his father.

Now, Chen Xinjie finally understands why Chen Yiming always says that family should come first.

Chen Xinjie used to blame Chen Yiming for interfering in his love life and destroying his family, but when the time came, Chen Yiming did not hesitate to sacrifice himself to protect his family.

“Father, I…I understand…” Chen Xinjie gave Chen Yiming one last deep look before leaving Poseidon Island without looking back.

...

Mingdu, the council.

After Qian Renxue and the others left, Gu Yuena looked at Qian Gu Huangyu with some worry and said, "Huang'er, that is the Eternal Heaven Kingdom. Can the two of us really manage on our own?"

Gu Yuena wasn't worried that they couldn't defeat Chen Yiming, but rather that a slight mishap during the battle would directly detonate the Eternal Heaven.

After all, their knowledge of soul tools was so vast that it was almost like burning books and burying scholars alive.

“If the Eternal Kingdom runs into trouble during the battle, we won’t know what to do,” Gu Yuena said.

Qian Gu Huang Yu smiled calmly and said, "Gu Yue, you should block this area first."

Gu Yuena was taken aback, but quickly realized what she meant and did as Qian Gu Huang Yu said.

Having reached the level of the Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather, she was naturally not worried about being eavesdropped on, but rather about Tang Hao observing the place.

However, Gu Yuena possesses power beyond that of a god, and can completely shield Tang Hao and A Yin from their senses.

After Gu Yuena shielded the surrounding environment, Qian Gu Huang Yu slowly said, "Gu Yue, you are right. We really don't understand the Eternal Heaven."

"But we don't need to know it. Guess what Chen Yiming will do when he's desperate?"

“He will detonate the Eternal Heaven,” Gu Yuena replied.

“That’s right.” Qian Gu Huang Yu snapped her fingers and said, “But that’s exactly what we need.”

Gu Yuena raised an eyebrow and said, "Why, Huang'er? Do you know how dangerous this is?"

Qian Gu Huang Yu said, "Gu Yue, I am only missing enough energy to become a god. And the Eternal Heaven Kingdom has a massive amount of energy."

"But do you think Tang Hao would just stand by and watch me absorb the power of the Eternal Heaven and become a god without doing anything?"

Gu Yuena frowned slightly and said, "So you want Tang Hao to think you're dead?"

"That's right," said the Phoenix Feather. "The Eternal Heaven is the most powerful weapon in human history. I need to make Tang Hao believe that I died under the Eternal Heaven."

"Then take this opportunity to absorb the energy in the Eternal Heaven and completely break through that shackle."

"So Gu Yue, I actually hope you can stay too. On the one hand, after I 'die' under the Eternal Kingdom, someone needs to step up and take charge of the situation."

"On the other hand, it is indeed too dangerous."

Faced with Qian Gu Huang Yu's suggestion, Gu Yue Na shook her head firmly, "Huang'er, you said before that we would never be separated."

"Since it's dangerous, let me face it with you."

Looking into those amethyst-like eyes, Qian Gu Huang Yu sighed helplessly, "I really can't do anything with you."

Within the parliament representing the highest power of the Sun-Moon Federation, two figures gradually intersected…

...

After Chen Xinjie's figure completely disappeared, Chen Yiming released Chen Hanyu and said, "You can leave too."

Chen Hanyu's soul power had just been sealed, and she was in pain from being tied up. While flexing her wrists, she said, "My home is gone, where can I go?"

Without turning his head, Chen Yiming said, "Let's go to the Spirit Pagoda. Aren't you and Qian Gu Huang Yu on good terms?"

Chen Hanyu was stunned for a moment, completely unexpected that Chen Yiming would say such a thing, "Aren't you afraid that I will tell Qian Gu Huang Yu that you took the Eternal Heaven Kingdom?"

Chen Yiming said, "Even if you tell her, she will still come to Seagod Island to find me. She has just seized the highest power in the Federation and will not allow the Eternal Kingdom to explode in Mingdu or Shrek City."

"She must want to take back the Eternal Kingdom, but even if it explodes, she hopes it will explode on Poseidon Island, not Mingdu."

"That outcome was something she couldn't bear."

After saying that, Chen Yiming finally turned to look at Chen Hanyu and said slowly, "I have already asked Shui Qingli to go to Shrek City to wait for you. You should go too."

"If I can successfully kill Qian Gu Huang Yu, the entire Federation will be thrown into chaos. Whoever wins between you and Xin Jie will become the next patriarch of the Sea God Clan, and the next Sea God Douluo after me."

"If I fail, based on your contributions to the Eternal Phoenix Feather over the years, she will certainly reward you handsomely."

"The future of the Poseidon family rests on your shoulders."

Even at the end of his life, Chen Yiming still maintained his consistent fence-sitting style, allowing his eldest son, Chen Xinjie, to follow Shrek Academy.

Sending his youngest daughter, Chen Hanyu, to the Spirit Pagoda ensures that no matter the outcome, the Sea God family will not perish; in fact, they may even prosper.

“Father, there was really no need for this…” Chen Hanyu’s voice was choked with emotion. He had thought that Chen Yiming would kill him in a fit of rage after learning the news, but he did not expect that he would let him go so easily.

The words he just said and the use of the power of the sea god were mostly just empty words he was saying to Chen Xinjie.

Chen Hanyu said, "Father, actually, if you just promise not to fight against the Ancient Phoenix Feather anymore, actually..."

"Enough!" Chen Yiming interrupted Chen Hanyu domineeringly. "I am the current Sea God Douluo, and I will never bow down to a junior!"

"I will only die standing; I will never live a life of dishonor!"

"Let's go, let's do what you believe is right!"

Chen Hanyu's eyes were filled with complexity. Fifteen years ago, Chen Hanyu already knew what kind of monsters Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na were.

Therefore, she did her best to cooperate with Qian Gu Huang Yu's actions, hoping to preserve the entire Sea God family.

However, she overlooked one point: the pride of the Sea God family, Chen Yiming, had been standing at the pinnacle of this world for far too long.

Even looking at the whole world, there are at most people who can be his peers. He cannot accept or tolerate anyone being above him.

Because Chen Hanyu grew up in Chen Xinjie's shadow, her pride and arrogance were more of a disguise, a self-defense mechanism. Therefore, she couldn't understand Chen Yiming and Chen Xinjie's pride, which ultimately led to this outcome.

“I don’t blame you. I did fail to guide you properly during your upbringing. We all did what we thought was right, but it ended up with a result that none of us wanted to see.”

Chen Yiming turned his back again and spoke slowly to Chen Hanyu.

Being born into a large family like the Sea God family is both a blessing and a curse.

Fortunately, they weren't born with a head start; instead, they were born into a situation where they had to sell their school district properties right after the finish line.

Unfortunately, because their family ties were rather weak and because they had too many things to worry about, Chen Yiming himself didn't have much time to devote to his children.

Their relationship was a result of intertwined interests and kinship.

If they could do it all over again, the outcome might be different, but there are no "what ifs".

...

After Chen Hanyu left, Chen Yiming raised his head again and looked at the distant sky. High in the sky, two figures, one in gold and one in silver, were flying towards the direction of Seagod Island at an extremely fast speed.

With the arrival of Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na, the entire sea surface was stirred up by raging waves, and even the Sea God Island in the center was in turmoil.

A smile appeared on Chen Yiming's lips as he took out a light blue helmet from his storage ring.

The moment the helmet appeared, the entire sea, centered on Poseidon Island, rapidly calmed down and spread outwards at an astonishing speed.

The legacy of the Sea God has never been broken. This helmet is Chen Yiming's greatest trump card. It was made in the God Realm after Tang San became a god, and it is a genuine divine artifact.

Seeing the roaring ocean instantly fall silent, Qian Gu Huang Yu also stopped moving forward.

Looking across the sea, Qian Gu Huang Yu smiled faintly and said, "Chen Yiming, you gathered Bei Dexun and his gang with the intention of rebellion, and now you have stolen the Eternal Heaven Kingdom. Do you know your crimes?"

"Sin?" Chen Yiming sneered, slowly putting the Helmet of the Sea God on his head. Centered on Chen Yiming's body, a burst of azure energy suddenly erupted and shot straight into the sky.

Even the sea seemed to echo Chen Yiming's sentiments, with towering waves and surging winds shaking the vast ocean!

"I am a descendant of the sea god, and divine blood flows in my veins. Who can judge me? Who is worthy to judge me?"

As he spoke, Chen Yiming burst into laughter. At this point, the charges were no longer important; what mattered was whose strength was greater.

Gu Yuena quietly pulled Qian Gu Huang Yu Rouyi aside and whispered, "Huang'er, the Sea God Island contains the Sea God's divine power. Although the amount is not large, it is quite troublesome to deal with."

Gu Yuena was, after all, the Silver Dragon King, and she had escaped from the siege of several great god-kings, so she was naturally extremely sensitive to divine power.

Qian Gu Huang Yu gave Gu Yue Na a reassuring look, then smiled disdainfully at Chen Yi Ming, "Chen Yi Ming, yesterday the five of you working together were no match for me. Do you think you can defeat us today?"

Chen Yiming laughed loudly, "This is Poseidon Island, and my title is—Poseidon!"

After saying this, Chen Yiming suddenly stretched out his arms and then clasped his hands together in front of his chest.

At the same time, as if receiving a command, the entire sea instantly erupted with towering waves thousands of meters high on both sides of Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na, crashing violently towards the center.

Just as the two towering waves were about to engulf Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na, Gu Yue Na suddenly raised the Silver Dragon Spear.

A light blue glow shimmered on the silver dragon spear, and the towering wave slowed down instantly before gently sinking into the sea, as if it had never existed.

Gu Yuena raised an eyebrow. As the Silver Dragon King, the ruler of the elements, she originally intended to use the world-destroying waves to attack Chen Yiming instead.

But to his surprise, even after using the Silver Dragon Spear, he could only push the waves back into the sea.

"Truly the power of the Sea God!" Gu Yuena exclaimed.

In stark contrast to Gu Yuena's leisurely demeanor, Chen Yiming frowned deeply. "That's the power of the Sea God! How could it be suppressed like this?"

The Sea God has always been the pride of the Sea God family. Even though Chen Yiming had tried his best to overestimate Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na, he did not expect that Gu Yue Na would so easily neutralize Chen Yiming's attack.

In fact, this was all thanks to Gu Yuena. As the master of the elements, Gu Yuena was born with the ability to control the nine elements, so even seawater enhanced by the power of the sea god was no exception.

If it were Qian Gu Huang Yu who made the move, it would naturally be impossible to neutralize Chen Yi Ming's attack so easily.

"In terms of strength, with the blessing of the Sea God's power, Chen Yiming is probably no less powerful than Bedexun, who was blessed by Tang Hao yesterday," Qian Gu Huang Yu said slowly after assessing Chen Yiming's condition.

In fact, if Chen Yiming had directly used the power of the sea god to attack, it would have posed a greater threat to Gu Yuena. However, he insisted on using the power of the sea, which allowed Gu Yuena to exploit his weakness.

Chen Yiming, being a seasoned quasi-god, immediately figured out Gu Yuena's true strength after a few exchanges. He then abandoned using the power of the ocean to attack, instead using it for defense or recovery.

"Tsk, this is troublesome." Seeing Chen Yiming change his fighting style, Gu Yuena couldn't help but feel a little strained.

Although Chen Yiming could only borrow the power of the Sea God, that was, after all, the power of a deity, which exceeded the upper limit that this plane could bear.

Although Gu Yuena herself possesses power beyond the plane, she is suppressed by the plane's ruler, Tang Hao.

However, in order to kill Qian Gu Huang Yu as soon as possible, Tang Hao did not suppress Chen Yiming at all, but simply let him do as he pleased.

"Our plane's ruler is truly hypocritical to the extreme!" Qian Gu Huang Yu complained as she helped Gu Yue Na block Chen Yi Ming's attack.

Seeing that the tactic was effective, Chen Yiming immediately intensified his attack, controlling the power of the sea god to condense a huge trident, which he then thrust fiercely at Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na.

"What a nuisance." Qian Gu Huang Yu sneered, and the golden soul ring in the ninth position behind him suddenly lit up, bursting with golden light.

The once azure sky was instantly covered with dark clouds, then a black gash was torn open, from which a huge golden dragon with three heads slowly emerged.

Ninth Soul Skill: Star-Devouring Wings.

Seeing that Ghidorah the Star Eater had been summoned by the Ancient Phoenix Feather once again, and recalling the tragic scenes of last night, Chen Yiming's attack was noticeably slower.

However, the Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather would not give Chen Yiming a chance, controlling the Star Eater Ghidorah to fiercely wrap its long neck around the trident formed by the power of the sea god.

Then, Ghidorah the Star Eater opened its gaping maw and bit down hard on the trident, beginning to absorb the power of Poseidon from it.

As he felt the power of the sea god being continuously absorbed, Chen Yiming's expression instantly froze on his face.

Then her surprise turned to horror: "How is this possible? That's the power of the sea god!"

Faced with Chen Yiming's life-doubting expression, Qian Gu Huang Yu sneered, "Nothing is impossible. To be honest, you gave me the opportunity. If you had relied on the power of the ocean as before, I wouldn't have been able to absorb it."

While Ghidorah the Planet Eater can absorb energy, this ability is not without limitations.

The most convenient option is naturally an energy entity like a trident, which can be directly bitten and devoured.

Secondly, there's the whole body, like the human body or a stone giant. The most difficult thing to devour is seawater, which is neither an energy body nor a whole body, so you can't just drink water directly.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yiming was completely speechless with bitterness. Although he could not be devoured by the Thousand Ancient Phoenix Feather by relying on the power of the sea, Gu Yuena could easily resolve it with her control over the elements.

However, if one uses the power of the sea god without relying on the power of the ocean, then one will be directly devoured by the Eternal Phoenix Feather.

No matter how he fought, he was always countered by his opponent, which made Chen Yiming feel extremely frustrated.

Finally, a resolute look flashed across Chen Yiming's face. Under his command, all the power of the sea god broke free of its restraints and soared into the sky, transforming into a blue canopy!
