Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 201 The Power of Faith

After Qian Renxue left, Xiao Yu immediately released his Netherworld God Domain to sense the distant Netherworld.

Practice makes perfect, and this time, in less than half a minute, Xiao Yu was already in the Yellow Springs Hirasaka.

"what?"

In the realm of gods, just as Xiao Yu entered the Yellow Springs Slope, the Sea God suddenly opened his eyes wide and uttered an incredulous question.

He quickly got up, and with a whoosh, he transformed into a streak of light and left his temple.

A short while later, the Sea God appeared at his destination, which was naturally the temple of the Asura God, with whom he was so close that they could practically share a pair of pants.

"What's wrong?"

Upon seeing the Sea God enter, the Asura God couldn't help but frown.

The controversy surrounding his secret actions at the Temple of Angels has not yet subsided, and he is currently under close surveillance by the Divine Realm Committee. As a first-level deity, the Sea God should also be aware of this, and he would not have chosen to visit at this time unless something extremely urgent had occurred.

"The Heart of Poseidon!"

The sea god looked anxious: "Just now, the Heart of the Sea God suddenly lost its connection with me!"

"What did you say?"

The Asura God's expression changed upon hearing this. The Heart of the Sea God was the key to Tang San's plan to unlock the dual-god inheritance, and it was also a powerful tool to protect Tang San at this stage: "When you last sensed the Heart of the Sea God, did anything happen?"

"have!"

The Sea God immediately replied, "The inheritor of that Angel God recently attempted to inject soul power into the Heart of the Sea God, but my divine sense, which I left in the Heart of the Sea God, detected it. I used my divine sense as a bridge to mobilize a little divine power and blocked her."

"It must be that successor of the Angel God who did something!"

The God of Asura immediately made a judgment, but he was still somewhat puzzled. How did the successor of the Angel God manage to do this? If she had already completed the Nine Trials of the Angel and broken through to level 100, then she could indeed use the power of the Angel God to erase the Sea God's divine will within the Heart of the Sea God and block the interference of the Sea God's divine power. But she should still be very weak now. He remembered that when he secretly mobilized his divine power to help Tang Hao and Tang San escape before the Angel Temple, he had also secretly sensed that successor. She should still be between the second and third trials of the Angel God, and her soul power was only around level 60, far from reaching level 100.

Completely baffled, the God of Asura couldn't help but complain to the God of the Sea, "Didn't I tell you before to find a way to deliver the Heart of the Sea God to Tang San? Why haven't you made a move yet?"

The Sea God sighed helplessly, "I'm just a first-level god. Only in a place like Sea God Island, filled with the power of faith in me, can I freely mobilize my divine power. Very few people in the Heaven Dou Empire worship the Sea God. Without a medium, my divine power is negligible. Furthermore, with the inheritor of the Angel God secretly lurking in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, I dare not make any major moves!"

"Damn it!"

As things spiraled further out of Shura God's control, he cursed under his breath, mobilized his Shura God power, and descended upon Douluo Star to try and find out the cause and effect of the disappearance of the Heart of the Sea God.

Rumble!

Before his divine power could even get close to Douluo Star, a bolt of purplish-gray lightning struck out of nowhere, shattering the Asura God's divine power.

"Shura!"

The God of Destruction's deep voice echoed in the Temple of Asura: "Don't even think about resorting to those underhanded tricks. I'll be watching you closely!"

"destroy!"

The Asura God clenched his fists tightly, his teeth grinding together, but he was helpless. After all, he had broken the rules first, and even if the matter went to the God Realm Committee, everyone would only support the God of Destruction.

The God of Destruction came and went in a hurry, without even glancing at the Sea God next to the God of Asura.

After all, as a god-king, and the most ambitious one who wanted to expand the divine realm, he also had many things to do. Dividing some of his divine power to monitor the Asura God was already his limit.

As for the Sea God, just as he himself said, very few people on Douluo Star worship the Sea God, and his divine power has little effect outside of Sea God Island.

Poseidon Island is the place where he inherited his legacy. Delivering divine pronouncements there is within the bounds of the rules, and even the God of Destruction has no right to interfere.

However, using the power of the land of inheritance to forcibly intervene in worldly affairs is a double-edged sword for any god.

The reasoning is quite simple. Take the Sea God as an example: if the Soul Masters of Sea God Island follow the Sea God's decree and enter the mainland, but suffer heavy losses due to the fierce resistance of the mainland Soul Masters, their faith in the Sea God will be shaken from the bottom of their hearts.

The lack of faith in the land of inheritance is a terrible thing. In severe cases, it can even lead to a drop in realm, from a first-level god to a second-level god or even a third-level god.

The God of Destruction understood this principle, as did Asura, one of the five great god-kings, and the Sea God also understood it.

After the God of Destruction departed, the God of Asura glanced at the God of the Sea and said, "Without the Heart of the Sea God, Tang San's safety cannot be guaranteed. Whether you want to arrange for someone to secretly protect him from Seagod Island is up to you!"

Poseidon fell silent for a moment. He knew his own situation best. Apart from Poseidon, who was a high-ranking priest at level 99, among the remaining seven guardian pillars on Poseidon Island, only Sea Dragon Douluo had barely reached level 95.

Having left Seagod Island and lost the protection of the Holy Pillar, those seven people would be in grave danger, let alone facing the powerful figures of the Spirit Hall's Hall of Worship, or even the elders of the Pope's Hall.

Land-based Soul Masters experience a significant drop in strength on the open sea, and similarly, sea-based Soul Masters also suffer a certain degree of weakness when they come ashore.

Just as the Sea God was struggling with his decision, on the Yellow Springs Slope, Xiao Yu was already sharpening his sword against the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, pouring the power of the Underworld King, representing darkness, into it, constantly squeezing out the azure power of the Sea God.

The lingering resentment left by the Sea God within the Vast Ocean Universe Cover sensed the crisis and erupted completely.

"presumptuous!"

An aged yet powerful voice rang out, and the figure of the Sea God suddenly appeared. Because it was only a lingering remnant, the Sea God's figure was slightly blurry. One could only vaguely make out that he was a middle-aged man with an ancient face, wearing armor that was faintly recognizable as golden, and holding a trident that also shone with golden light in his hand.

However, Xiao Yu guessed that the trident should have been condensed by the Sea God using his divine power, and the original was still left on Sea God Island waiting for his designated successor, Tang San, to pull it out.

"Humans, how dare you covet the relics of the gods! You have no fear!"

Although it was just a lingering remnant, it still inherited the pride of the Sea God. With a majestic voice, an immense pressure swept down and fiercely suppressed Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu remained expressionless. If a mere thought of the Sea God could suppress him, then he wouldn't need to even think about resisting the even more powerful Asura God in the future.
