Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 442 Poseidon Island Captures Poseidon, Encounters Tang Chen

The sea is vast and endless.

Xu Tianxi stepped out of the Vulcan Space and instantly traveled dozens of miles, soaring through the air and quickly moving away from the land.

Having reached this level of cultivation, his walking speed was already extraordinary, far exceeding the comprehension of normal people.

Unfortunately, Ye Guyi is no longer human; she has ascended to godhood.

So soon, Xu Tianxi heard a spirited and firm female voice.

"If the teacher needs help, the student has a responsibility to help. Teacher, I'm here to help you."

Space distorted, and as Xu Tianxi took a step forward and landed again, he was surprised to find Ye Guyi standing not far behind him, her smile as bright as the morning sun, her beautiful eyes narrowed into crescent shapes.

She took flight with her six pairs of wings, which fluttered in the air like a divine sun radiating immense heat. Even though she had restrained her divine power, her breath still rapidly heated the air.

Xu Tianxi's lips twitched slightly. He straightened his face and waved his hand in refusal.

"The most urgent task is to resist the invasion of the Abyss Plane. This little matter of mine is nothing. You should hurry to the Abyss Battlefield. They need you more there."

"Once I have resolved the matter of becoming a god, I will definitely rush to the battlefield as soon as possible to join you. Go quickly."

“Teacher, your words are all precious and insightful. I will learn from them. However, to be honest, I discovered a flaw in my heart during the Ninth Divine Trial. You are the only person in the world who can help me correct this flaw.”

"Senior Vulcan transmitted his voice to me, saying that on this trip we may encounter Tang San's few god-level subordinates, and that I should be careful."

Ye Guyi, with a serious expression, respectfully accepted the instruction, explaining his difficulties and praising Xu Tianxi highly. Then, his expression hardened, and his clear eyes, like flowing streams, met Xu Tianxi's gaze directly. He spoke slowly and earnestly, each word distinct:
"Since I entered your tutelage to cultivate, I have received your devoted guidance and training, for which I could never repay even a fraction of your kindness. Today, I finally have the opportunity to help you. Please don't send me away, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Tianxi raised an eyebrow, his bright eyes gleaming, his pupils like two torches scrutinizing Ye Guyi for a few moments before he slowly spoke:
"Okay, give me a ride, we'll be right back."

"Hmm." Ye Guyi smiled, sheathed her sword and stood up. With a fair and delicate wrist, she directly grasped Xu Tianxi's left arm. With a tap of her foot, warm and gentle divine power enveloped the two of them and they disappeared into thin air.

"How are you, teacher? Is the divine power very warm?"

"It's quite warm. Watch your direction, while I try to understand the characteristics of your divine power..."

"Alright, teacher, if I don't use any divine gear, what should I wear to look good and avoid letting the abyss discover my true strength?"

"...This kind of question can't be answered. Go figure it out yourself." Xu Tianxi paused for a moment, indicating that he didn't know anything about clothes.

“Okay… I’ve got it. Our angel family is more suited to wearing palace-style long dresses. My ancestor used to dress like that too.”

……

Poseidon Island Ruins.

Poseidon was shrouded in a long, bright red robe. Holding her scepter, she walked slowly, her gaze lingering on every blade of grass and tree on the island of Poseidon, a hint of nostalgia in her eyes. Her demeanor was noble and elegant.

Ten thousand years ago, she was the ruler of this place, managing all affairs for decades. She presided over all the matters related to Tang San's ascension to godhood. After the sacrifice, with the help of Poseidon, she reshaped her divine soul, not only gaining immortality but also reaching the god-level that she had longed for in the past.

Now, revisiting this familiar place, I couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions, a sense of things having changed and people being different. My expression gradually turned cold.

"Tang San told me that the Sea God family from Seagod Island came to Douluo Continent to prepare for the Abyss, but they were instead outmaneuvered by the God of Destruction, the Water God, and one of their chosen successors, resulting in the complete annihilation of the entire family. It was truly a colossal tragedy..."

"And that mad and violent Golden Dragon King destroyed the Trident of the Sea God, shattering it into pieces. The largest fragment should be here. Could it be that the former Sea God still longs for this place...?"

As they walked to the ruins of the High Priest's Temple, Poseidon's expression grew even colder. The place was now a desolate wasteland, neglected and overgrown with weeds.

The traces left by the lightning were only a year or two ago. Everywhere there were dilapidated pavilions and towers, and the celestial palaces had turned to dust. Only some smaller areas were not affected much.

The statues of Poseidon and Tang San had long since collapsed. Poseidon detected many signs of soul power on them. The strongest was of course a destructive dragon aura, but more of them were the auras of dozens or even hundreds of sea soul masters.

With her divine senses projected outward, Poseidon summoned several timid survivors of Poseidon Island, inquired about their situation, and her beautiful eyes were instantly filled with boundless rage.

"boom!"

With a single strike of his staff, the sea trembled, sending up waves tens of feet high. Poseidon surveyed the surrounding landscape, his gaze chilling to the bone.

"He actually used illusions to deceive the Sea Soul Masters into destroying their own faith, causing so many Sea Soul Masters to commit suicide after learning the truth. What a beast! A complete and utter beast!"

"Clanging"

Dust billowed from the ground, sparks flew in the distance, and the fragments of Poseidon's trident, which had fallen into the broken soil and rocks, were awakened, bursting forth with a dim golden light, calling for Poseidon's arrival.

Poseidon sensed the trident of Poseidon naturally. Forgetting his anger, he flew down and appeared in front of the fragments of the trident, large drops of his eyeballs rolling uncontrollably from their sockets.

She bowed deeply in reverence to the fragment of the trident of Poseidon before picking it up and whispering:

"You are a divine artifact left behind by the Sea God. There will surely be a day when you are restored. The ocean will forever be grateful for the Sea God's achievements and protection back then..."

"I searched high and low without finding it, but it came to me without any effort. I sensed it for a long time but couldn't find it. I never expected it to be on Poseidon Island. The High Priest knows this place well."

The man's voice drifted from afar, filled with a mixture of regret and lament.

"Teacher, stop teasing her. Didn't you leave after you found her and ask her to look for us? Haha..."

The woman's melodious, playful voice rang out, her laughter as clear and crisp as silver bells.

"What?" Poseidon turned around and saw two graceful figures descending from the sky, a man and a woman, arriving together.

The man was handsome and composed, his gentle eyes carrying a hint of mockery. Dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, he exuded a sharp and imposing aura. His gaze shifted back and forth between himself and the trident of Poseidon. The woman wore a long, golden palace dress that accentuated her voluptuous figure after becoming a goddess. Her golden eyes were clever and lively, and there was no energy fluctuation in her body. She looked like an ordinary person of eighteen or nineteen years old, except that she was exceptionally beautiful.

But Poseidon knew that the two people in front of him were definitely not ordinary people. They both had an ethereal force field around their bodies that blocked his divine sense from probing them.

There are only two possibilities: the other party is a god, or someone secretly protected by a powerful deity!
"What brings you here?" Poseidon's eyes darkened, and he gripped his scepter tightly. With a thought, he put away the fragments of the Trident of Poseidon.

"Isn't it obvious? Of course they're after the fragments of Poseidon's Trident."

Xu Tianxi gave him a speechless look and calmly said, "Hand over the fragments of the Trident of the Sea God and surrender. We will not make things difficult for you. Your crime of descending to the mortal realm without permission will be judged by the God Realm."

"otherwise……"

"Otherwise what?" Poseidon's expression turned cold, his gaze flickering uncertainly.

"Otherwise, we'll just have to go through the trouble of taking you down and taking the fragments of the Trident of Poseidon." Ye Guyi gave her a look as if she were an idiot and said:
"Alright, make your choice now. Whether you surrender, fight, or call others to help you, we, master and disciple, will take it all today. It's up to you."

"You two juniors dare to pressure me like this? Was the destruction of the Sea God Clan related to you and the people behind you?"

Poseidon was already in a bad mood, and now, threatened again, his anger spread across his face, which looked to be around thirty years old, and he shouted.

"Of course, I personally killed the current High Priest of Poseidon Island and the eight sacred pillars."

Xu Tianxi smiled, took out the broken Poseidon Helmet, and said, "Those guys plotted against me, so I just took care of them all, including the guardian spirit beast of Poseidon Island, the Demon Soul Great White Shark."

"In fact, of the eighteen holy pillars on Poseidon Island, only one death is unrelated to me. As for the others, you can pin it on me."

“We are master and disciple, so you can also count it as me,” Ye Guyi added.

"Good, good, you're all very good!"

Poseidon flew into a rage, waving his scepter forward. The Sea God's Martial Spirit rose slowly, causing large cracks in the ground. Golden soul light shot into the sky, transforming into thousands of sharp arrows, which were then fired simultaneously.

"Boom~"

With a wave of his sleeve, he shattered the myriad arrows; the light and shadow vanished, and Poseidon's figure was already hundreds of miles away, choosing to flee.

Moreover, Poseidon's figure could be seen in all directions; apart from her true form, the rest were all false forms she created with her divine sense.

"Trying to run away from me? Dream on!"

Xu Tianxi's gaze darkened, and he used his divine sense to unleash a sound wave that echoed across the ocean.

Poseidon flashed across the sea when a golden giant suddenly appeared in front of him. It was Xu Tianxi. He threw a straight punch that shattered the boundless sky and sent Poseidon flying backward, coughing up several mouthfuls of blood in mid-air.

"How could he be so strong?" Poseidon was shocked. Before leaving, she had concealed her whereabouts with her divine sense. How could this person have identified her true form so quickly and caught up with her, and then severely injured her with a single blow? Even ordinary level three gods could not do that.

Is he a second-level deity?
"I didn't give you the option to run away, but since you didn't choose it, I'll choose it for you!"

Xu Tianxi clearly wouldn't give Poseidon any chance to hesitate or catch his breath. He strode forward like a true god, and with one punch, he turned the world upside down.

Poseidon's expression changed, and she immediately broke free from the seal, unleashing her true power to mobilize the ocean's strength to fight back, forming a massive, overlapping, and endless curtain of water.

However, it was all in vain. A deafening roar echoed through the sky, and space collapsed along with the waves. The domineering fist force seemed capable of piercing through the Douluo plane, once again causing Poseidon to bleed profusely, her palms split open, and several fingers broken.

"boom!"

With a single step, Xu Tianxi swiftly appeared above Poseidon, his foot growing dozens of times larger. He descended, stepping on the spatial order, and crushed half of Poseidon's body. Blood splattered, bones and flesh flew off, and the ocean turned crimson.

The next instant, Poseidon suddenly felt unable to breathe, her neck was gripped by an iron clamp-like hand, and she felt a sharp pain between her eyebrows. Xu Tianxi pointed a finger, sealing her divine sense and spiritual sea, followed by all her divine power.

This domineering and tyrannical method caused Poseidon to convulse, her blue eyes went blank, and she lost all power to resist.

"Shu~"

Ye Guyi appeared, retrieved the Trident of Poseidon from Poseidon's storage soul tool, and waved his fist at Xu Tianxi, indicating that everything was settled.

However, at that moment, a huge hole suddenly opened in the space not far from Xu Tianxi, and a giant hammer that Xu Tianxi was quite familiar with smashed out, shattering endless space and stirring up turbulent currents.

"Boom~!"

Xu Tianxi turned around and fought back, causing the spatial order to completely collapse. A black hole suddenly formed and expanded, which was quite astonishing.

Ye Guyi pulled Poseidon back quickly; they couldn't let the hostage they had finally captured go to waste.

A few breaths later, the two figures landed on their respective sides. Xu Tianxi stared at the newly appeared, ancient-looking man wielding the Haotian Hammer and glaring at him. His eyes flashed, and he smiled:

"The last time your grandson attacked me, his methods were very similar to yours. Your Haotian Sect is truly of the same ilk."

Tang Chen shouted angrily, "You recognize me?"

"Of course, Tang Chen, the legendary sect leader of Haotian Sect who led the sect to become the number one sect in the world ten thousand years ago and left countless legacy for the sect."

Xu Tianxi said quite seriously, "To be honest, I really admire your talent; it's just a pity that your Haotian Sect is getting worse with each generation. Tang Hao is far inferior to you, and Tang San is far inferior to Tang Hao."

"Now that I've seen you, all I can do is take you down and reunite you with Tang Hao in the future."
