Douluo Continent Villain Simulator: Persecuting Qian Renxue at the Start

Chapter 192 The Agreement

Above the spring of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, an illusory golden figure, whose face was obscured, raised its arms, and instantly swirling water mist rose around it, which then transformed into swirling waves.

Ignoring Su Cheng's intentions, his goal was clear: he charged into the sky, carrying the shimmering blue tetrahedron beneath him.

Su Cheng naturally wouldn't let his opponent escape so easily. As his soul rings lit up, he slashed diagonally with his longsword, and the sword light carrying a powerful sword intent instantly reached mid-air.

The Sea God sensed the overwhelming power of this attack and couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation. His upward-leaning figure faltered, and he had no choice but to stop his momentum and swing his arm, sending out a beam of clear light that swept to the side.

Su Cheng quickly dodged, not intending to confront him head-on, silently estimating the opponent's energy reserves.

Under the powerful energy erosion of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, the divine thought of the Sea God was definitely not as effortless as it appeared on the surface when it took action.

No matter how sturdy the Heart of the Sea God may be, it is ultimately not as inherently powerful as divine power, making it quite difficult to protect.

With a flick of his wrist, Su Cheng thrust out his sword, the condensed innate sword energy sweeping through the air like a thunderbolt.

This sword strike was extremely fast, incredibly powerful, and contained an exceptionally high level of energy.

The sudden attack even slowed down the Sea God's divine sense.

The three-meter-tall golden phantom tried to dodge, but ultimately couldn't react in time and didn't completely evade; a deep gash several feet long was cut into its sleeve.

The sword mark appeared to have cut into his clothes, but it was essentially no different from an attack on his vital organs.

Although this figure is in human form, it is actually just a condensation of divine thought. All parts of its body are indistinguishable, and losing even a fraction of it means losing a fraction of its original value.

A hint of surprise seemed to appear on the sea god's blurry, ethereal golden face. "This kind of power?"

Ordinary soul power could never cause him this level of damage.

Even those extremely powerful peak Douluo or even peerless Douluo, despite posing some threat, would be lucky to lose even a fraction of their energy.

That one blow, however, cost him more than half of his divine soul energy.

In his perception, that sword strike was extremely strange.

The energy contained within is not divine power, but it is of an extremely high level and exceptionally concentrated. It is neither soul power nor spiritual power, giving people a sense of ambiguity.

Poseidon dared not be careless in the slightest and calmed down.

Its body shone brightly, and the surrounding streams of water instantly transformed into a raging tsunami, spreading out in all directions.

This time, his attack was much more powerful. He no longer hesitated to expend his divine sense, nor did he give Su Cheng any room to dodge.

But Su Cheng didn't intend to hide.

His figure turned around, sword energy swirling around him to block the terrifying tsunami. His movements were as graceful as clouds, and the continuous sword energy seemed to roll like a long snake among the waves before rushing towards the sea god's divine sense.

As he charged forward, several spirit rings beneath his feet shattered simultaneously, unleashing violent energy fluctuations. His longsword slashed out with several sword energies as if swimming like a dragon amidst waves.

The flashes of cold light disappeared in the air before shooting rapidly toward the enormous figure in mid-air.

At the same time, Poseidon felt a chill in his heart. His originally pure and clean mind was suddenly shrouded in a shadow, and a multitude of distracting thoughts arose instantly.

Although it was swept away in an instant, it was still enough to surprise him greatly.

A quick glance revealed the dark green Soul Devouring Domain silently seeping in from beneath his feet.

"Such an evil power..."

He didn't want to waste any more time.

Golden mist appeared around him, and he instantly unleashed two-tenths of his divine sense.

In an instant, the entire valley seemed to turn into a vast expanse of blue.

The rocks, the grass and trees, and even the poisonous insects and snakes in the flowerbeds were all bathed in blue light.

Only the sea god's own golden figure, the red and blue hot springs beneath his feet, and the streaks of silver-white innate sword energy sweeping through the air were not assimilated by these colors.

The surging waves of the sea converged and fought against the sword energy, but continuously dissipated.

Given his control over energy, it was impossible for him to be suppressed by Su Cheng.

However, his target at this moment was no longer Su Cheng.

With a thought, the sea god shook his arms, and the waves transformed into spears that pierced the sky.

The next moment, the red and blue light shield was shattered and scattered by this fierce attack, and the tidal domain that was stirring up the spiritual energy clouds also retreated step by step.

But just then, a crescent moon, like a hook, hung obliquely in the sky, finally coming into everyone's view and displaying an astonishing presence. Even though it was still daytime, it was more eye-catching than the blazing sun high in the sky.

However, before this, no one, including the sea god's divine sense, had noticed the existence of this thing.

The sixteenth form of swordsmanship, imbued with the meaning of immortality—Bright Moon.

In this world, Su Cheng's seventh spirit ring was formed on its own by relying on the powerful meaning he comprehended.

As the seventh spirit ring that can activate the true form of a martial soul, it is extremely important in itself. If we disregard the requirements for breakthroughs, it is even more significant than the eighth and ninth spirit rings that follow.

It's important to know that the strength of this spirit ring can very likely affect a spirit master's martial spirit talent.

The spirit is of low quality, but with a powerful seventh spirit ring attached, it may awaken a domain.

Those powerful martial souls that already possess a natural domain have a high chance of advancing their domain after adding a high-age seventh soul ring.

If a 100,000-year spirit ring is added at the seventh spirit ring stage, it will almost certainly greatly enhance the domain, as has been proven in Qian Renxue's case.

Of course, the vast majority of Soul Masters do not have this opportunity.

After all, regardless of the rarity of a 100,000-year spirit ring or the physical requirements for absorbing a spirit ring, it is extremely difficult for ordinary spirit masters to achieve this.

After Su Cheng condensed his seventh soul ring, his immortal essence merged into his domain.

Now, he no longer needs to rely on his martial spirit to unleash this sword technique using his domain.

This is also why he directly enveloped the valley entrance with his domain when he threw down the Heart of the Sea God.

Having accumulated power for so long, this move has now reached its peak.

Moonlight streamed down, and awe-inspiring sword light swept down.

At that moment, the sea god suddenly realized an extreme sense of crisis that threatened his own existence.

Without the slightest hesitation, golden mist surged and rolled around him, then transformed into a massive, almost tangible trident, which he held in his hand.

Then, the enormous golden halberd shadow seemed to move slowly but was actually very fast as it swept through the air, and golden halos split off from its body.

As the golden trident and golden halo appeared, his figure became increasingly ethereal, as if he might disappear at any moment.

The reason this move wasn't used before is because the Trident of Poseidon isn't currently located here.

He forcibly condensed it with his divine sense, which undoubtedly required a large amount of divine sense.

Once this move is made, it's a do-or-die situation; there will be no strength left, and it may even dissipate completely.

With a flick of his halberd, an unparalleled power of the vast ocean surged forth, hurtling towards the bright moon in the sky.

Poseidon's Divine Skill - The Unpredictable Storm of the Golden Thirteen Halberds!

Although it is much weaker without the divine weapon, it is still his most skilled technique.

With this restrictive skill used, the crescent moon in the air was instantly frozen in place, unable to move an inch.

After glancing at Su Cheng one last time, the Sea God figure showed no intention of lingering in the fight and turned to leave.

The reason I didn't use this move on Su Cheng wasn't because I didn't want to, but because it was pointless.

He could see that the sword formation in the air had already taken shape, and even if it could freeze Su Cheng or kill him, it would not be able to stop the sword.

At this moment, Su Cheng's soul power had been exhausted. As long as he could control this sword technique, the opponent would be powerless to stop him from leaving.

As for the woman further away, she posed no threat to him.

"Cheng Xue!"

Bibi Dong was somewhat anxious.

Although she couldn't intervene in the battle, she could still discern some clues. By this point, both sides had given their all, and the fight was almost over.

If we let them go now, what if they seek revenge later?

That was a god!

Without time to think it over, they immediately took action to stop it.

"No rush."

At that moment, Su Cheng's voice suddenly rang out.

Although she was visibly tired, she remained calm and composed.

The next moment, to the astonishment of the Sea God and Bibi Dong, he threw out his long sword, which then merged with the bright moon in the sky.

The martial spirit and innate sword energy are integrated into the sword moves, and the addition of external force instantly breaks the balance.

Then, the moonlight washed down like water, instantly engulfing the golden figure formed from the sea god's divine thoughts.

"Good soul skills..."

With a soft sigh, the golden figure gradually faded away and disappeared.

The dim and lifeless Heart of the Sea God shattered and fell into the spring below, where it dissolved completely a few breaths later.

The divine thought passed down by the sea god finally disappeared completely.

Su Cheng's figure also fell to the ground.

After the battle, his profound soul power was completely exhausted, many of his soul rings were destroyed, and his martial soul was completely unusable for a short period of time.

It can be said that at this point, he himself was completely exhausted and had no more tricks up his sleeve.

Standing beside the hot spring of the Yin-Yang duality of ice and fire, Su Cheng, pale-faced, looked slightly dazed.

He gained a lot from today's battle.

But from the beginning, he had no confidence in winning; it was just an experiment.

The power intensity of deities, the levels of divine power, and the nature of divine thought were all things he had never known before.

If he hadn't grasped the use of innate sword energy, he wouldn't have made this decision to confront the sharp edge of a deity, even if it was just the divine thought of a sea god who wasn't even as powerful as a third-level god.

"Time is running out..."

Now, beliefs on the high seas have begun to change.

If the sea god were to cast his gaze upon the lower realms, perhaps he would be able to detect something.

Fortunately, no one has yet triggered the Nine Trials of the Sea God on Seagod Island, and the time flow between the God Realm and Douluo Continent is vastly different.

In this situation, Poseidon would most likely not pay much attention to the lower realm.

At this moment, Bibi Dong also walked over, her face a mixture of emotions, and her eyes flashing with a strange light.

After a moment of contemplation, she looked at Su Cheng and said softly, "Do gods really exist in this world?"

Hearing her voice, Su Cheng snapped out of his reverie, turned around, and smiled, "Of course there are. The legend of becoming a god at level 100 is also recorded in the Spirit Hall. The Angel God worshipped by the Spirit Hall also truly existed."

Bibi Dong nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this, then asked, "What about that one just now? What kind of god was it?"

"Poseidon".

"The Sea God?" Bibi Dong's expression changed drastically. "That's the Sea God? Isn't that...?"

She knew that Su Cheng came from Poseidon Island.

Just from the name, you can tell that this place must have some connection with the sea god.

Perhaps the Sea God is to Sea God Island what the Angel God is to the Spirit Hall.

Thinking about this, her expression became even stranger.

"This matter is quite complicated and cannot be explained in a short time. I will explain it to you in detail another day," Su Cheng said with a light laugh. "However, that was not the real sea god. It was just a thought left behind by the sea god in this world. Before leaving this world, every god usually leaves the same divine thought to the successor."

"The successor..." Bibi Dong blinked, feeling inexplicably that she seemed to have some recollection of this matter.

Immediately, a thought struck him, and he remembered that when the other party first came to the Spirit Hall, he seemed to have mentioned things like the Seagod Island assessment and the divine test when he talked to the Grand Elder.

But that's even stranger. From this perspective, Su Cheng should have welcomed back this divine thought for Seagod Island, so why would he risk destroying it?

Was it because of his teacher?

Or is there some other reason?

At that time, he and the high priest seemed to have discussed something like "sacrifice"...

"I'm leaving."

At this moment, Su Cheng's words interrupted Bibi Dong's chaotic thoughts, instantly clearing her mind and making her forget everything else.

"Leave?" Bibi Dong asked hesitantly. "What do you mean? Where to?"

"Let's go back to Poseidon Island."

"You...you're going back?" Bibi Dong was momentarily stunned, seemingly not having come to her senses.

"Yes," Su Cheng smiled, "It's time to go back after being away for so long."

"What about me?" Bibi Dong asked subconsciously.

"Of course you're going back to the Spirit Hall. What, are you going to come back to Seagod Island with me?"

"I……"

"Let's wait a few years." Seeing Bibi Dong's hesitant expression, Su Cheng spoke up. "You should focus on cultivating your Innate Skill, then add the remaining three spirit rings to your second spirit, and then come find me at sea. The matter I wanted your help with before is about time."

Looking at the man in front of her, Bibi Dong suddenly felt a strange intuition.

If you don't say some things now, or do some things now, you may never have the chance to do them again.

Although she didn't know why she had this feeling, perhaps it was the tone of the other person's voice, or perhaps it was the other person's decision to return to Poseidon Island, all of which made her feel uneasy.

Moreover, Su Cheng clearly had no strength left at this point.

The mask on his face...

A hint of struggle flickered in Bibi Dong's eyes.

He then raised his right hand and touched the silver-white mask. "Cheng Xue, I have something I want to say to you."

"Dong'er." Su Cheng stretched out his left arm and grasped the other's outstretched right hand, a complex and unfathomable light flashing in his eyes as well.

Upon hearing this title, Bibi Dong trembled slightly, and her hands stopped moving.

After so many years of getting to know each other, we are clearly very close and have a great understanding of each other, but the other person has never used such an intimate term of address and always tries to keep their distance from me.

Looking at Bibi Dong's stunningly beautiful face, Su Cheng remained silent for a moment.

The person in front of him was completely different from the Bibi Dong he remembered.

She is sensible, knows when to advance and retreat, and is decisive and resilient.

But unfortunately...

He removed her hand and said softly, "Let's save those words for later. There's plenty of time, isn't there?"

Today is also one update. Starting tomorrow, things will return to normal, and all three missed updates will be made up.
