Douluo: Martial Soul Nine-Tailed Fox, I am the White Fox Emperor

Chapter 282 The Illusory Sea Labyrinth (Part 2)

"Hey! Stop! You stop right now!"

Upon hearing this, the sea god became anxious again and quickly stopped his wild ideas.

"When did I agree to let Tang San inherit my position as Sea God?"

"Besides, does his Blue Silver Grass martial soul even deserve it?"

Poseidon's face was full of resistance, as if he had heard something insulting.

"Besides, that martial spirit and my divine position are completely incompatible!"

"Hmm?" The Asura God slowly turned his head, his blood-red eyes staring silently at the Sea God.

There was no oppressive aura, no murderous intent.

But Poseidon felt a chill run down his spine from his gaze.

"What...what? Are you going to force me?" Poseidon stubbornly refused to admit it.

"Let me tell you, Asura God, this is a first-level god's inheritance, not something you can buy at the market!"

"Tang San's talent, while currently appearing to be at full innate soul power and his cultivation speed being quite good, you can't expect me to rely on that broken Blue Silver Grass martial soul for my Sea God position, can you?"

"That's so low-class!"

The sea god got more and more excited as he spoke: "Just imagine, what if my successor, the sea god, stands in the realm of gods, but when he awakens his martial spirit, he turns out to be just a pile of grass? Where would I, Poseidon, put my face then? Wouldn't the God of Destruction and his ilk laugh me to death?"

The Asura God finally spoke, his voice icy: "That's no ordinary Blue Silver Grass; its bloodline just hasn't been activated yet."

"Heh!" Poseidon sneered.

"Then let him figure out a way to activate it first! What methods does he have to activate his bloodline right now?"

The Sea God, through the investigation of the Asura God, has gained some understanding of Tang San.

"His father, Tang Hao, is long dead! He was slaughtered by the Spirit Hall, leaving not a trace!"

"And his mother, the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor, had long since died as a sacrifice to Tang Hao!"

"Now, even if that Blue Silver Emperor is still alive, it's just an ordinary plant, devoid of any consciousness it had before it died!"

Poseidon shrugged, his face saying, "You're out of luck."

"You still want her to activate Tang San's bloodline?"

"God of Asura, tell me, is this possible?"

Upon hearing this, the Asura God fell completely silent.

Yes.

is it possible?
His supposedly flawless and brilliant plan, at this moment, seemed to have... reached a complete dead end.

But should we get him to use other methods to directly help Tang San improve?

Stop joking about this!
If we do that, then there's no point.

After all, what was the purpose of him raising Gu worms for so many years and choosing a successor?
Isn't the hope that a talented and powerful Soul Master will inherit his position as the God of Asura?

Tang Chen was actually quite satisfied with the original plan.

But Tang San is better than Tang Chen in that he has twin martial souls!

That's why he came up with the plan of two gods becoming one.

Helping is out of the question!
Even if Tang San is eventually killed by the Spirit Hall, he would never help him!
But he didn't want to let the Spirit Hall grow so strong. Destroying that old man must be a secret scheme orchestrated by the Seven Elemental Gods.

We must find out the truth!

Asura God: "Sea God, let's wait and see, and secretly investigate to whom the Seven Elemental Gods passed on their inheritance to in the Spirit Hall."

He had just used his divine power to trace back, but he couldn't find that person.

There are only two possibilities: one is that the person who received the inheritance of the Seven Elemental Gods is not in the Spirit Hall, and the other is that the person has a special power that shields his divine power.

The former is impossible!
Even if they leave the Spirit Hall, some clues will still remain.

That's the latter!

And who can shield him from his divine exploration?
The answer is obvious!

destroy!

It will definitely destroy the tricks of the God-King!
……

After bidding farewell to the arrogant bird that had been subdued, Hu Bai and his group of eight stepped into the spatial gate leading to the third world.

It is completely different from the heavy and oppressive atmosphere of the Earth Realm and the agile and swift atmosphere of the Wind Realm.

The moment they passed through the portal, a moist, cool, yet strangely "viscous" scent rushed towards them.

The surrounding area was no longer a wasteland or a grassland.

Instead, it was a vast, calm, azure sea that stretched as far as the eye could see.

The sky is a reflection of the sea.

Beneath your feet, you see the reflection of the sea.

The eight of them were standing on a transparent crystal, roughly a hundred meters square, as smooth as a mirror, suspended in the center of this world where the sea and sky merged into one.

The whole world was eerily quiet.

There was no sound of wind, no sound of waves, only the sound of their breathing.

"This... is the Water Realm?" A solemn expression appeared on Ning Fengzhi's face.

“This place is so strange.” Dugu Bo sniffed. “There isn’t a single trace of other smell in the air; it’s all pure water element.”

Hu Bai closed his eyes, and his vast spiritual power swept across the surroundings like a radar.

However, the feedback was completely blank.

"Little White, something's wrong." The voice of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm rang in Hu Bai's mind. "My spiritual power seems to have been... swallowed up by something. I can't sense the boundaries of this world, nor can I sense any life force."

“The water here,” Gu Yuena squatted down, stretched out her jade finger, and gently touched the “mirror” under her feet. It was not a solid, but a highly condensed crystal of water element.

"The water element here is too 'pure'. So pure that it can assimilate and dilute all external forces."

Guangling Douluo gripped the divine bow in his hand and said in a deep voice, "It seems that the Earth Ruler's advice was correct. This trial should have already begun."

The Wind Lord, Lan, is arrogant and disdains intrigue, so she chooses to wage war directly.

This ruler of water, however, clearly has a different style.

"Everyone be careful, the opponent may be proficient in illusion magic," Hu Bai warned.

Water can reflect everything.

Their greatest skill is creating false illusions.

The moment Hu Bai finished speaking, the only foothold they had left—the huge water element crystal—suddenly cracked open with a "crack"!
"not good!"

Everyone's expressions changed.

"boom--!"

Before they could react, the entire crystal shattered with a deafening roar!

Eight figures instantly lost their balance and plummeted towards the unfathomable blue sea below!

"Plop! Plop..."

The icy seawater instantly swallowed them up.

The moment Hu Bai entered the water, he tried to use his spatial power to stabilize himself, but the seawater seemed to contain a peculiar law that was frantically repelling his spatial power!

Moreover, a powerful suction force came from the seabed, pulling them towards the endless abyss.

To make matters worse, the eight people who were originally standing close together were separated by an invisible current the moment they entered the water!
Hu Bai tried to use his mental power to pinpoint his teammates' locations, but found that in this strange sea, the difficulty of his mental detection spreading outwards was greatly increased, and the diffusion speed was too slow.

"noob!"

"little monster!"

"Uncle Jian!" "Feng Zhi!"

In the chaos, the shouts of the crowd could not be heard.

As soon as they open their mouths, a large amount of water rushes into their bodies, and they can only try their best to protect themselves with their soul power.

The water element here gave them the same feeling as in the Earth Realm, or even more so!
In this high-pressure water environment, the suffocation is often even more severe.

……

"Cough cough... What kind of place is this?"

Dugu Bo emerged from the water, wiped the seawater off his face, and cautiously surveyed his surroundings.

He discovered that he was in a huge underwater cave.

The surroundings were no longer endless seawater, but an underwater world filled with strange corals and bioluminescent seaweed.

What made him breathless was a bottomless trench not far from him.

From that trench, colorful and strangely shaped... highly toxic bubbles are continuously rising!
"This...this is...the Deep Sea Netherworld?!" Dugu Bo's eyes widened instantly!
Legend has it that this is a rare poison that can only be formed in ocean trenches thousands of meters below the surface!
"And that too! Nine-bend Green Phosphorus Algae! My God!"

"Rotting bone starfish!"

Dugu Bo felt like a mouse that had fallen into a rice jar, so happy he was about to faint.

He had completely forgotten about the trials and the ruler. With a strange cry, he lunged towards the trench and began frantically collecting these "heavenly treasures".

"I've struck it rich! I've struck it rich! Once I've refined all these treasures, the power of my Azure Phosphorous Serpent King Poison will at least double!"

The more he collected, the more excited he became, completely unaware that behind him, the corals he had picked were silently transforming into hideous tentacles, slowly approaching him...

At this moment, Dugu Bo was clearly completely immersed in a deep illusion.

……

the other side.

"Charming! Ancient banyan tree!"

Chen Xin leaned against the ancient banyan tree, the Seven Kill Sword in his hand humming as he warily surveyed his surroundings.

Ning Fengzhi stood between the two, the light of the Eight Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda enveloping the three of them.

The three of them were not separated, but their situation was even more dangerous than Dugu Bo's.

They were standing on the ruins of an underwater site.

And the shape of those ruins... was none other than that of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!

"This...this is..." Ning Fengzhi's body trembled uncontrollably.

"Illusion! Fengzhi, calm your mind! This must be an illusion!" Chenxin shouted.

“That’s right, Feng Zhi.” Gu Rong’s voice was equally solemn. “The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School isn’t here, how could it have sunk to the bottom of the sea!”

"kill--!"

Just then, countless "shrimp soldiers and crab generals" wielding weapons surged in from all directions.

And leading the group were none other than Hu Bai, Gu Yuena, Wang Qiu'er, and others!
"Sect Master Ning," Hu Bai said with a cold smile, "the Martial Soul Empire has unified the continent, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has merely submitted. That's far from enough. I want your complete submission!"

"You...!" Ning Fengzhi trembled with rage. "Xiao Bai... he would never say such a thing!"

"Is that so?" Hu Bai sneered. "Then, kill them all without mercy!"

A fierce battle erupted instantly.

……

At the same time, Guangling Douluo also fell into his own "inner demons".

He found himself back in the Temple of Angels.

Standing before him was Qian Renxue, who had already become a god and radiated divine light.

“Guangling.” Qian Renxue’s voice was cold and devoid of any emotion. “As a guardian of the angelic lineage, you have neglected your duties and followed an outsider to carry out that ridiculous assessment.”

"Do you admit your guilt?"

The Light Feather Douluo knelt on one knee, his expression one of struggle: "Xiaoxue! I..."

"Call me Young Master!"

"Qianrenxue" scolded.

“Yes, Young Master…” Circles appeared in Guangling Douluo’s eyes, his expression struggling.

Clearly, what he is saying now is not his true intention; his inner will is also fighting against this mental control.

"You don't need to say anything more."

"Qian Renxue" interrupted him, "In the name of the Angel God, I command you to immediately kill all your companions and atone for your sins!"

……

Gu Yuena and Wang Qiu'er were trapped together.

The illusions before their eyes were simple and brutal.

They saw... Hu Bai.

Hu Bai was smiling gently, but the person he was holding in his arms was neither Qian Renxue nor any of them.

Instead, it was a silver-haired woman with stunning beauty and an ethereal aura that they had never seen before.

"noob……"

Gu Yuena's face instantly turned cold, and a terrifying killing intent slowly rose from her body.

"I do not care who you are……"

"Dare to impersonate Xiaobai..."

"die!"

……

At this moment, Hu Bai appeared the calmest.

He found himself plunged into absolute darkness and nothingness.

There was no light, no sound, and no matter.

"Illusion? That's quite advanced." Hu Bai murmured to himself as he floated in the darkness.

"Little White, leave it to me!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's voice rang out excitedly.

Having benefited from the previous two treasure lands, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was no longer the weak ice silkworm it once was.

Rather, he had broken through the limits of his race, and he was already able to make better use of his vast spiritual essence.

Especially in the Realm of Wind, during that month, his spiritual essence recovered and even grew stronger.

Now's the perfect time to give it a try!

"These water-playing bastards actually dare to try and use mental illusions in front of Brother Ice Silkworm? They're just showing off their skills in front of an expert!"

"Give it to me! Break it!"

A vast and incomparable spiritual storm, almost tangible, suddenly erupted centered on Hu Bai!
"boom--!"

That endless darkness, like a shattered mirror, was broken into pieces!

Immediately afterwards, the illusions before the eyes of Dugu Bo, Chen Xin, Ning Fengzhi, Gu Yuena, and all of them shattered at the same time!
"what--!"

Dugu Bo was enthusiastically kissing a "millennial poisonous algae" when the treasure in his arms suddenly turned into an incredibly ugly sea octopus, which frightened him so much that he threw it away.

"Holy crap! What's wrong with me?" Dugu Bo felt a wave of nausea.

Chen Xin and Gu Rong also stopped their attack, panting as they watched the "shrimp soldiers and crab generals" turn into bubbles and disappear.
