Douluo Continent: The Phoenix God Returns

Chapter 80 The Descent of the Three Gods

After everyone else had completed their respective tests, the aura emanating from Li Ye, Shui Bing'er, and Tang San began to change.

If the color of the light pillars changed gradually when others were undergoing the trials of the Sea God's Light, then the color of the light pillars enveloping the three of them changed abruptly.

Blue, white, yellow, and purple—these four colors flashed by in an instant, transforming into the next one with incredible speed, almost mesmerizing. Even the transition from purple to black happened in a mere instant.

Seahorse Douluo found that his heart could no longer withstand such stimulation. As the guardian of the Seahorse Sacred Pillar, not to mention him, even the seven Sacred Pillars combined had never experienced such a special scene. However, the shock was not diminished by Seahorse Douluo's changing emotions; on the contrary, it reached an unprecedented height.

The black demonic runes successfully passed through two-thirds of the Seahorse Sacred Pillar. The black color turned into blood red, and the blood-red demonic runes suddenly appeared. A humming sound, like the wailing of the sea, rang out from the Seahorse Sacred Pillar, and a blood-red pillar of light shot into the sky.

The sea within the sea boiled. At that moment, the entire sea within the sea suddenly surged with giant waves hundreds of meters high, rising vertically upwards. Within the giant waves, intense, misty blue light burst forth.

The changes weren't over yet. The entire Poseidon Island seemed to tremble as the crimson light from the Seahorse Pillar shot into the sky. Then, everyone clearly saw six more enormous blood-red pillars of light rise into the sky. The seven pillars converged at a single point in the air. The next moment, the crimson light faded, and from that point of convergence, three dazzling golden rays descended from the sky.

The three of them emitted red, blue, and white light, and three illusory figures were watching them. If Ye Li were here, he would have recognized them as the Sea God, the Ice and Snow God, and the Asura God. At this moment, a trident, a snowflake, and a red blood sword pattern appeared on the foreheads of the three of them respectively.

"What you three are about to endure is not the top-level Nine Trials, but the God-level Nine Trials." In the distance, a red dot of light slowly enlarged, and the next moment, there was another person in front of the Seahorse Sacred Pillar.

"Greetings, High Priest." Seahorse Douluo bowed slightly and paid his respects to the woman in red robes. "This subordinate has failed to fulfill the Sea God's instructions. Please punish me, High Priest."

The woman in red smiled slightly, and the sea within the sea seemed to ripple in response to her smile. "It's not your fault. This is also the first time I've seen something like this, young man. I've waited for over a hundred years, and finally, in my twilight years, I meet you. Can you tell me your origins?"

"Senior, my name is Li Ye," Li Ye said respectfully.

"Greetings, senior. My name is Shui Bing'er," said Shui Bing'er, who was standing next to Li Ye.

"Junior Tang San greets Senior. My great-grandfather's name was Chen," Tang San said respectfully.

"You don't need to be so polite. Are you Tang Chen's great-grandson?" Poseidon looked at Tang San with a hint of surprise in her voice.

Tang San respectfully replied, "Yes."

A hint of melancholy shone in Poseidon's deep blue eyes. "Time flies! Even his great-grandson is already so grown up. Although you two did not receive the Sea God's inheritance, you still need to undergo the test here."

Poseidon solemnly said, "From this moment on, the three of you must remember that on Poseidon Island, no one is worthy of your courtesy. Including myself."

Poseidon turned to Seahorse Douluo, "Euya, pass on my orders. These people are honored guests of this island until they complete the Sea God's test. No one is allowed to neglect or offend them. Except for not helping them complete the test, meet their conditions as much as possible. They can stay in your Seahorse City. Also, summon the other six people for a meeting at the Sea God's Temple tomorrow."

"Yes," Seahorse Douluo Ouya replied with utmost respect. Although he hadn't seen this Grand Elder for ten years, on this Seagod Island, Poseidon was the supreme being. Only the Seagod himself could surpass her.

Poseidon's gaze fell on Tang San again, and she smiled and nodded to Li Ye and the other two. "Very good, very good. I believe that the three of you will be able to pass the test of the gods. If you need anything, you can ask Eurasia. Remember, you must complete at least one of the nine trials of the gods each year. Otherwise, all your previous efforts will be in vain."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone saw a bright red light before their eyes. The next moment, the Sea God Douluo Poseidon, who had been standing in front of them, had disappeared. Almost at the same time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their faces pale and their foreheads covered with beads of sweat.

"She's too powerful. Just that wisp of aura she released just now made me feel like my body was about to explode."

Just then, Seahorse Douluo's voice rang out, "Distinguished guests, please follow me."

Upon stepping ashore, ten yellow-clad sea spirit masters immediately came forward and stood respectfully on either side. Following the group, Seahorse Douluo did not walk in the lead; at his insistence, Li Ye and his two companions took the lead.

As Seahorse Douluo walked, he smiled and said, "Distinguished guests, welcome to Seagod Island. You will likely be staying here for quite some time. Seagod Island doesn't have many rules."

Li Ye nodded and said, "Thank you for your guidance, senior. I will need your continued support in the future."

Seahorse Douluo Ouya smiled and said, "You are distinguished guests appointed by the Grand Elder. If you need anything, just give the order."

……

At the Spirit Hall, Ye Li looked towards Seagod Island and nodded in satisfaction: "It seems they have all passed the corresponding tests. Not bad, five years may be enough for you to achieve godhood."
