Douluo Continent: After Ten Thousand Years of Silence, I Was Exposed by the Sky.

Chapter 179 Hai Rui: The Nine Trials of the Sea God? Me? Poseidon: Get rid of the divine position and run away as soon as possible!

Poseidon took a deep breath, and his vast divine sense cautiously ventured out of the divine realm once more.

This time, he learned his lesson. As soon as his divine sense left the boundary, he scurried away like a startled rabbit.

He deliberately avoided the location of the Silent God Realm that terrified him.

"If I can't afford to offend them, can't I at least avoid them?"

Poseidon gritted his teeth and manipulated his divine sense to avoid the main area of ​​Douluo Continent, instead heading towards the Sun Moon Empire.

The Sun and Moon Empire currently has no deities.

He has to seize this window of opportunity.

Divine thoughts swept across the vast ocean like a tidal wave, sweeping over the territory of the Sun and Moon Empire.

"Too weak...too weak...still too weak..."

Poseidon anxiously sifted through the auras of each Soul Master.

Although the Sun Moon Empire's soul guidance technology was advanced, it seemed that in terms of individual strength cultivation, they were generally inferior to the traditional soul masters of the Douluo Continent, which made him feel irritated.

Just as Poseidon's divine sense swept across the eastern coast of the Sun and Moon Continent, in the region known as the "Han Hai Province".

A powerful and pure fluctuation of water-attribute soul power suddenly caught Poseidon's attention.

"Huh? This aura..."

Poseidon's eyes lit up, and his divine sense instantly locked onto the Water Dragon Sect, which was nestled against the mountains and by the sea and possessed a magnificent presence.

In a secluded meditation chamber deep within the sect, an elderly man with white hair and beard, dressed in a dark blue robe, sat cross-legged.

It is surrounded by nine lifelike water dragons.

His soul power fluctuations had clearly reached level 99, indicating that he possessed the strength of a demigod!

"It's him!"

The image of the previous sky comparison instantly flashed through Poseidon's mind.

This person is none other than Hai Rui, the patriarch of the Water Dragon Sect!
In the previous comparison between the two continents, Hai Rui took the stage as the representative of the Sun Moon Empire's number one water-attribute martial soul.

At that time, Poseidon voluntarily conceded defeat and gave the reward of the Sky Curtain to Hairui.

Poseidon was in a bad mood at the time and didn't look closely.

Little did they know that behind that, Wei Tianchen was hunting down Poseidon via Sky Live.

What Poseidon expressed was the collapse of his faith.

"Ha ha ha ha!
There is always a way out!

"This is truly a stroke of luck!"

Poseidon couldn't help but burst into laughter, the gloom in his eyes vanishing completely.

"Although Hai Rui is a bit older and his potential is not as good as Tang San's, he has the advantage of profound cultivation and solid foundation!"
and……"

Poseidon's lips curled into a sinister smile:

"Although he is a Soul Master of the Sun Moon Empire."

But if I were to give him the chance to become a god, or even possess a supreme artifact, he would absolutely not refuse like that foolish woman!

Poseidon only needed to pass on his divine position to Herri.

Tell Hairui where Poseidon is now.

Poseidon had no doubt.

Hai Rui will pursue and kill Poseidon in order to obtain the ultimate artifact, the Trident of Poseidon.

"It doesn't require exceptional talent or a kind heart."

All I need now is a successor who is strong enough, thirsty for power enough, and ready to take the fall for me immediately!

With this in mind, Poseidon no longer hesitated.

The trident of Poseidon in his hand slammed down on the ground.

(Note: This is merely the condensation of divine power.)
A dazzling azure light pierced through the void in an instant, heading straight towards the Water Dragon Sect of the Vast Sea Province on the Sun and Moon Continent.

……

Sun and Moon Continent, Water Dragon Sect's Secret Chamber.

Hai Rui, who was in seclusion, suddenly felt a terrifying pressure that made his soul tremble, descending from the sky.

"who?!"

Hai Rui suddenly opened his eyes, his cloudy old eyes flashing with a sharp light.

However, before Hai Rui could even assume a defensive stance, the surrounding space instantly froze.

The originally dimly lit secret room was completely engulfed by a sacred and majestic azure light.

A grand, vast voice, seemingly from ancient times, resounded directly from the depths of his soul:
"I am Poseidon, the god of the sea."

"Mortal Hai Rui, do you crave power?"

"Do you yearn to become a god and reach the pinnacle of this world?"

Hai Rui was stunned. Then, a surge of joy welled up in his heart, and his body trembled violently with extreme excitement.

Poseidon?!
Although Poseidon has a very bad reputation.

Even Hai Rui found it extremely distasteful.

But Poseidon offered him his inheritance, so why didn't he accept it?
Anyway, once he inherits the divine position and becomes a god, won't the initiative still be in his own hands?

Then, we can directly switch allegiance to Wei Yuan and enter the Nirvana God Realm. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
Poseidon's voice continued, carrying an irresistible allure:
"I see that your aptitude is quite good, so I hereby bestow upon you the inheritance of the Sea God's position."

"Accept my trial. If you pass, you will instantly become a god and the new ruler of this sea!"

"Hai Rui, are you... willing to accept?"

Faced with Poseidon's tempting question, a subtle glint of shrewdness flashed in Hai Rui's seemingly cloudy old eyes.

He has lived for nearly two hundred years and has long since become a shrewd and cunning man.

Through the exposure of the celestial canopy, he knew better than anyone what kind of person this sea god Poseidon was—

Hypocritical, double standards, selfish.

This divine position may seem like a blessing, but who knows what schemes are hidden behind it, making him take the fall.

"Hmph, this old man is probably afraid of Lord Wei Yuan and the Silent God Realm, and is in a hurry to find a scapegoat."

Hai Rui sneered inwardly, his abacus clicking rapidly as he calculated his next move:
"But so what?"

A divine position is a truly valuable thing.

Once I become a god and possess divine power, the sky's the limit.

You, Poseidon, want me to work for you?
"Keep dreaming!" "Once I obtain the divine position, I will turn around and go to Ancestor Wei Yuan, taking this Sea God position with me and merging into the Realm of Annihilation."

"Then, I'll not only get a first-level godhood for free, but I'll also have rendered a great service to Lord Wei Yuan. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Having grasped this point, Hai Rui immediately suppressed the scheming in his eyes, his face filled with piety and fervor. He bowed deeply to the void, his voice trembling as he cried out:
"Great Sea God!"

"This old man...this old man is willing!"

"To have your favor is a blessing I have accumulated over eight lifetimes!"

I will do my utmost to pass the assessment and restore your glory!

In the realm of the gods, Poseidon looked at Hairui's "tears of gratitude" and nodded in satisfaction.

"Very good, you old man, you know what's good for you."

Although Poseidon was eager to escape, his mind wasn't completely broken.

Hai Rui is a native of the Sun Moon Empire and has a deep affection for that land.

If we treat Poseidon the same way, we should immediately send him to slaughter civilians of the Sun Moon Empire to prove his loyalty.

I'm afraid this old guy will turn hostile on the spot, and might even attract Wei Yuan's attention.

"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures."

A resolute glint flashed in Poseidon's eyes:
"Forget about those red tape tests of loyalty!"

Speed ​​is the most important thing right now!

He must become a god as quickly as possible!

"Om-!"

With a wave of his hand, Poseidon conjured a deep blue spatial vortex in the secret chamber of the Water Dragon Sect.

That is the passage to the "Sea Mystery Realm," a testing space independent of the real world.

"Go inside, Hairui."

Poseidon's majestic voice rang out once more:

"I have opened the Sea Mystic Realm for you, where there are nine trials that I left behind."

Go forth and prove that you are worthy to wield the power over the sea!

Without the slightest hesitation, Hai Rui flashed and rushed directly into the vortex.

However, when Hai Rui actually entered the secret realm and began the so-called "Nine Trials of the Sea God".

Even though Hai Rui was mentally prepared to face difficulties and obstacles, he was still stunned by the scene before him.

First test: Crossing the light of the sea god.

The pressure that should have been as terrifying as Mount Tai pressing down on you was now as thin as a breeze.

As Hai Rui walked up the steps, he not only did not feel any strain, but he also felt warm all over, as comfortable as if he were soaking in a hot spring.

He didn't even need to use his martial spirit; he simply strolled up to the top with his hands behind his back.

"This...this is the Divine Trial?"

Hai Rui's lips twitched.

The second test: breaking through the ring-shaped sea blockade.

The great white sharks, which should have been ferocious and obstructing the examinees, were now obediently lying on the seabed.

Even when Hai Rui passed by, it humanely shook its tail and voluntarily made way for a wide road.

(Not the group near Poseidon Island)

The third test: Tidal Body Refinement.

The raging waves that could have shattered bones became gentle, massaging water flow in Hai Rui's hands.

The pressure was just right, and it even cured his chronic leg pain that he had suffered from for many years (funny.jpg).

……

Above the realm of gods, Poseidon frantically adjusted the parameters while maintaining the operation of the secret realm, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

"drop!

The difficulty has been reduced again!

"Turn off all those offensive formations!"
Reduce the soul beast's aggressive drive to zero!

"As long as he's alive, let him live!"
Hurry, hurry, hurry!

In Poseidon's almost cheating "water release"—

No, this is practically an act of "releasing the ocean".

Hai Rui advanced with unstoppable momentum, making rapid progress all the way.

It only took one day.

When the sun has just set and the moon has just risen.

Hai Rui had already reached the end of the sixth test, looking at the dissipating light screen in front of him with a strange and content expression.

"So... we've finished the six exams?"

Hai Rui stroked his beard, gaining a deeper understanding of Poseidon's "eagerness," and at the same time becoming more determined to "get something for free."

"It seems that Poseidon is really desperate. In that case, I won't hold back."

In the realm of the gods, Poseidon, witnessing this scene, finally breathed a sigh of relief, a look of ecstatic joy spreading across his face:
Six tests a day!
Hahahaha!

it is good!
Very good! "

"At this rate, this old guy will complete all nine tests in at most another day!"

"When the time comes, I'll hand over the divine position and run away immediately!"
To hell with ten thousand years of imprisonment, to hell with Wei Yuan, to hell with them all!

at the same time.

Mingdu, inside the divine artifact 'Mixue Ice City'.

"Phew, my soul power has broken through to level 95."

Holding a glass of orange juice, Xue Ji, who had enhanced her soul power while standing, exhaled a breath of stale air and sighed.

'Mixue Ice City' is just a support-type artifact.

However, the various drinks and foods produced there can quickly increase Xue Ji's soul power, even though she is only a Title Douluo.

"Once I reach level 99, I can fuse with a divine position and become a god!"

Yukihime squinted, her eyebrows curving upwards.
