Douluo Continent: The Phoenix God Returns

Chapter 81 The Extraordinary Light of the Sea God

Compared to the nine trials that Li Ye and others had to undergo to inherit their godhood, Ye Li's trials were incredibly easy. As a second-generation god, as long as his level was high enough, he could achieve supreme power in one fell swoop with the help of the Phoenix God Core, practically ascending to the heavens in one step.

"I wonder if Tang San will be able to synthesize the Creator God of the God Realm after inheriting the Asura God's position," Ye Li murmured to himself, his gaze fixed on the direction of Seagod Island.

"Father, what are you thinking about?" Ye Qiu'er asked, eating fruit in Ye Li's arms.

"Father didn't think anything. Let's go, Father will take you to play." Ye Li reached out and ruffled Ye Qiu'er's hair as he spoke.

After saying that, Ye Li picked up Ye Qiu'er and flew towards the City of Slaughter. After all, Tang Chen of the Haotian Sect was the King of Slaughter in the City of Slaughter. It would be worthwhile to go there so that Li Ye could successfully complete the Sea God Trial.

……

On the other side, the steps leading up to the Sea God Mountain were just a few dozen meters in front of them. As soon as they arrived at the foot of the Sea God Mountain, they immediately felt a majestic and solemn atmosphere surrounding them.

"I'll give it a try first," Li Ye said, and in the next moment he leaped up and rushed towards the steps.

boom--

Just as Li Ye reached the steps, he seemed to bump into something and was bounced back the next moment.

"What happened?" Shui Bing'er asked as the others gathered around.

Li Ye said, "This is a repulsive force. I was bounced back as soon as I went in. This Poseidon's Light should be able to bounce back any physical and energy attack. Moreover, it doesn't bounce back randomly, but only back to the person who launched the attack."

"In that case, wouldn't that mean..."

Li Ye nodded. "That's right. In other words, we can't use any skills while climbing the stairs. Otherwise, we'll immediately suffer a backlash."

Shui Bing'er couldn't help but ask, "Both physical and energy reactions are rebounding, so how are we supposed to get up there?"

Tang San analyzed in a deep voice, "We can only climb step by step, resisting the pressure of the rebound. If we can't hold on, we'll be rebounded immediately. Although we can't use offensive skills, I think we can still use protective and amplification skills."

Everyone nodded and returned to the steps. Li Ye slowly raised his right leg again and stepped towards the first step. As soon as his right leg entered the area of ​​the steps, he immediately felt a strong resistance in front of his leg, forcefully pushing him forward.

"That alone won't stop me!"

Li Ye took a step forward, and when everyone saw him again, they found that he was already on the 150th step. His right leg was raised and lowered three times, clearly indicating that the 150th step was his limit.

Ye Li stopped advancing and retreated step by step. With each step back, the pressure lessened. When he finally stepped off the stairs, a wave of weakness washed over him, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"You all should try it too." After saying this, Li Ye sat cross-legged and entered a meditative state.

Compared to Li Ye, Tang San and Shui Bing'er were not much better off, because after they entered, they gained another attribute on top of the Sea God's Light: killing intent and coldness. The three different Sea God's Lights also corresponded to their respective divine positions.

Shui Bing'er and Tang San were stuck at level 66 and 60 respectively when they first entered, not even halfway to their assessment level. Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and Ye Lingling, the three support-type soul masters, were hovering around level 20 to 30. Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun, Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, and others were all around level 40.

Soon, everyone was pleasantly surprised to find that cultivating on these steps allowed their soul power to recover faster than when cultivating outside. Gradually, they entered a meditative state, and at the same time, they all realized that this first trial—the crossing and the Light of the Sea God—would likely be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Meanwhile, Ye Li and Ye Qiu'er had arrived in the City of Slaughter. Before they arrived, Ye Li had covered Qiu'er with a barrier, since killing intent was not very harmful to a child.

"Father, where is this place? Qiu'er doesn't feel very comfortable here," Ye Qiu'er said, tugging at Ye Li's clothes.

"Qiu'er, don't be afraid, Daddy's here. This is the City of Slaughter. Daddy has to fight someone. Daddy will put you in my space first. You can watch over Daddy from there." Ye Li gently patted Qiu'er's shoulder and said.

"Okay, Father." Ye Qiu'er said softly, wanting to see just how strong her father really was.

Ye Li smiled and opened up a space, placing Ye Qiu'er inside before heading towards the City of Slaughter. At the same time, the Flame Phoenix Sword quietly appeared. After all, the Asura Sword was a divine artifact at the God King level, and even he had to be careful.
