Douluo Continent: The Phoenix God Returns

Chapter 108 The Descent of the Sea God

Time passed second by second. Li Ye's body trembled, his face was as pale as snow, and the trident mark of Poseidon on his forehead grew dimmer and dimmer.

Just then, the circular platform beneath Li Ye's feet suddenly began to brighten, and the golden mist that had been shrouded in fog on each platform transformed into intense golden light, making everything around Li Ye's body even more dazzling.

The seven soul bones that had been separated from him emitted a blue halo. Under the influence of the immense power of the Sea God, all the soul bones evolved one by one, transforming into the Sea God's Divine Armor.

Li Ye stared wide-eyed at the wondrous changes taking place on his body in disbelief. The blue halo swirled around him like a dream, and the Sea God's Armor gradually covered his body, each piece of armor radiating a mysterious and powerful aura.

He could feel an unparalleled power surging within him, as if he had completely merged with the power of the sea god. As the divine armor took shape, his aura continued to rise, and the surrounding air seemed to tremble because of him.

Li Ye tried to move his body and found that his movements had become incredibly light, as if he could move through space at will. He clenched his fist tightly, feeling the surging power, and a strong sense of confidence welled up in his heart. At this moment, the golden light on the circular platform was still dazzling, echoing the Sea God's Divine Armor on Li Ye's body.

"As a first-level deity, I can't help my elder brother, but there is one thing that can. My elder brother once transformed the supreme artifact, the Flame Phoenix Sword, into a martial spirit and implanted it into my body. Although it is not the real Flame Phoenix Sword, it is almost the same as the real Flame Phoenix Sword."

Li Ye then summoned his Flame Phoenix Sword Martial Soul and merged it into the Sea God Trident, a super artifact, allowing it to advance to a quasi-supreme artifact.

As the Flame Phoenix Sword Martial Soul merged into the Trident of the Sea God, an even more dazzling light erupted instantly, as brilliant as the blazing sun, almost blinding people. The original patterns on the Trident of the Sea God seemed to come alive, flowing with mysterious runes and radiating a chilling aura.

Li Ye gripped the upgraded Trident of Poseidon tightly, feeling the terrifying power it contained, his heart filled with boundless pride. He knew that with this near-supreme artifact, he would be much more confident in facing any challenge.

At this moment, the surrounding space seemed to be slightly distorted. The golden light on the circular platform and the light of the trident of Poseidon complemented each other, making Li Ye appear as if a god of war had descended.

In the next instant, the Trident of the Sea God, which had been upgraded to a quasi-supreme artifact, was raised high above Li Ye's head, pointing straight at the sky.

"Boom—" A tremendous suction force erupted from every part of Li Ye's body, and the Poseidon suit emitted an endless halo.

The turbulent currents formed from the golden seawater rushed into Li Ye's body from all directions with lightning speed, and also into the trident of the sea god. Blue-gold flames surrounded Li Ye's body, and halos slowly rose up from beneath his feet.

A deep, resonant voice, filled with reverence, echoed from all directions: "The Ninth Trial of the Sea God is complete, perfectly aligned with the position of the Sea God. The Sea God has reappeared, and the cultivation of all soul rings and soul bones has increased by 100,000 years."

The rings of spirit energy rising from beneath Li Ye's feet were so dazzling and breathtaking.

The first spirit ring that appeared was red, surrounded by a layer of brilliant blue-gold. The second one was the same, and so on, until the sixth spirit ring appeared, when things changed. His sixth spirit ring was orange-gold, and its age had reached the level of 700,000 years. The seventh spirit ring was also above that.

The eighth and ninth spirit rings came from the sacrifice of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and his wife, and even reached the million-year spirit rings that only Ye Li could possess. Only the last spirit ring that rose was different. The tenth spirit ring, which represented the power of the gods, was a dazzling blue-gold color.

At this moment, Li Ye no longer had any perception of power; all he had was absolute control over his own strength. He had taken the first eight inheritance tests seriously. Whether facing Poseidon, who was worshipped on Seagod Island, or the titled Douluo of the Seven Sacred Pillars, he did not use any tricks and simply crushed them with his overwhelming strength.

He has now truly achieved the ability to dominate those of the same level and even solo kill those of higher levels.

At the same time, a voice rang in the minds of Ning Rongrong, Oscar, Ye Lingling, and others: "Assisting in the inheritance of the Sea God will be rewarded with a divinely bestowed soul ring."

In fact, the rewards they received were not limited to this. Just as Li Ye completed the final inheritance of the Sea God, a surge of blue-gold light shot into the sky. The crimson-gold light gate they had been guarding also turned blue-gold, and four blue-gold lights spread out and entered their bodies respectively.

Li Ye, Tang San, and Shui Bing'er each led a group of people to complete their respective divine trials. Tang San led Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ma Hongjun, while Shui Bing'er led Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu.

With a slight thought, Li Ye caused all the surrounding light to converge and merge into his body. A flash of divine light appeared in his eyes, and he lightly swung the Trident of the Sea God forward with his right hand. The main blade, shimmering with blue-gold light, flashed through the air, and a crack appeared in the now empty space. With a flash of light, he passed directly through the crack.

"Big brother, I succeeded." Li Ye put away the Poseidon Set and the Poseidon Trident, a quasi-supreme artifact, and looked at Ye Li as he spoke.

"You know how to fuse the Flame Phoenix Sword Martial Soul and the Trident of the Sea God to create a quasi-supreme artifact, and turn the new Trident of the Sea God into your own natal artifact, thereby maximizing your strength. Well done." Ye Li patted Li Ye on the shoulder and said.

The Seven Holy Pillars Guardian Douluo of the Sea God had already knelt down on both knees, respectfully bowing towards Li Ye, his excitement bordering on madness.

All the residents of Poseidon Island had gathered in an open space and bowed down in the direction of Poseidon Mountain. Their eyes glistened with tears of excitement. For so many years, through so many generations, they had finally waited for this moment, for the return of the Sea God. That was their faith!

Outside Poseidon Island, on the sea surface, the entire Demon Soul Great White Shark clan appeared on the water. Little White, the king of the Demon Soul Great White Sharks, looked towards Poseidon Mountain, at the blue-gold pillar of light soaring into the sky, with tears of excitement flowing from his large eyes.

Li Ye came to the side and helped the somewhat weak Poseidon to her feet, saying, "Thank you, senior, for helping me become a god."

Poseidon smiled with satisfaction and said softly, "This is your good fortune, and also a result of your strength. There's no need to thank me. Now that you've become a god, the road ahead is still long."

Li Ye nodded solemnly, then turned to look at the devout crowd and the lively scene, a strong sense of mission welling up in his heart.
