The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 343 Poseidon in the Tower

"Buddha supports the pagoda, a compassionate crossing."

The sky above Poseidon Island was ablaze with radiant light, and a colossal, illusory image of a thousand-armed Buddha sat serenely in the void.

The nine-story pagoda she had been holding had vanished, and in an instant it enveloped Poseidon's head.

"A Martial Soul Fusion Skill?" Poseidon only glanced at it briefly before confirming the skill's nature based on its form and characteristics.

I raised my head and quietly gazed at the Nine-Treasured Glazed Pagoda enveloping me.

She did not choose to dodge. As a Limit Douluo, even if she consumed a lot of soul power, she would not be afraid of Li Xun and the other person's attacks.

Although the sea god forced her to unleash her full power in this test, Poseidon knew that she had already lost from the very beginning.

Because the Sea God only asked her to stop him, not to kill Li Xun.

If that's the case, even if I can stop Li Xun the first time, what about the second and third time?

As the light gradually dimmed, Poseidon curiously surveyed the environment inside the tower.

Meanwhile, Li Xun was being caught up by dozens of gold chains.

Poseidon's skill did not dissipate because she was controlled; it was as if the two had become unrelated.

After calculating the time and noticing the last bit of incense in Hailong Douluo's hand, Li Xun knew he couldn't avoid it and gave up resisting.

As dozens of golden chains pierced his body, he felt his soul power suddenly stagnate and become completely unusable.

Unable to maintain its suspended flight any longer, its body plummeted straight to the ground.

Fortunately, one of his clones hadn't dissipated and caught Li Xun and Ning Rongrong just as they were about to fall to the ground.

But immediately afterward, the clone's soul power was also sealed.

As Li Xun landed, a large number of golden chains pounced on him instantly, like sharks smelling blood.

Li Xun quickly pulled Ning Rongrong into his arms, saying, "This is too much."

Inside the Nine-Jeweled Pagoda, Poseidon strolled through the void, curiously observing her surroundings.

The space here changed the moment she was completely enveloped. The lush starry sky, the planets that seemed within reach, everything in the void appeared so new and strange.

Although she knew it was just an illusion or trickery produced by the soul skill, it still amazed Poseidon, who had never left Poseidon Island.

Poseidon: "Is this soul skill simply meant to keep me here?"

Curious, he raised his hand and sent a wisp of soul power into the void, but it did not cause the slightest ripple.

"Their defensive capabilities are alright."

Poseidon smiled, but somehow her position and environment had changed.

The scenery in the space kept changing and began to spin rapidly. Poseidon felt dizzy and guessed that it might be an illusion. She quickly used her mental power to resist it.

The dizziness soon disappeared, and the scenery before Poseidon's eyes spread out like ripples on water, as if she had returned to her youth.

"This illusion looks pretty good."

She raised her hand, looked at her clothes, and then glanced at Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu in front of her. A rare look of joy appeared on Poseidon's face.

"Poseidon, we're leaving today. The next time we meet will be the day I become a god," Tang Chen said with a confident smile.

Qian Daoliu, standing beside him, nodded with a smile, but did not say anything more.

Poseidon didn't seem to care, and instead looked at Tang Chen with a smile: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

At this time, Tang Chen was confident and powerful. At just over thirty years old, he was already one of the top experts on the continent, overshadowing all his peers.

If it weren't for Poseidon Island, Poseidon believed he wouldn't have been a match for him.

Poseidon knew that Tang Chen had a family and had a child before coming to the island, but Tang Chen said that it was just a family arrangement to continue his powerful bloodline, and that there was no affection between them.

Strong people always respect each other.

Although she had never left Poseidon Island, her strength was already top-notch, and no one dared to disrespect her. Also, because of her status as the High Priestess, no one dared to approach her.

Until Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen arrived.

If Tang Chen really does come back as promised, then he might not be a bad match for her.

The scene before Poseidon's eyes fast-forwarded like ripples on water, until she was finally alone in the temple of Poseidon.

A sense of coldness and loneliness became the melody that often accompanied her.

More than thirty years passed, and Poseidon was now over seventy years old.

On this day, life, which had been as stagnant as still water, finally saw some ripples.

Two men claiming to be Tang Chen's grandsons arrived on the island, saying that their grandfather had brought her a letter.

"Have you found any clues about the succession to the divine throne?" Poseidon carefully put the letter away, a long-lost smile returning to her face.

Time flies again, and forty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, a young man named Li Xun arrived on the island with three girls.

Seeing that the young man's talent and cultivation speed were far superior to Tang Chen's, Poseidon knew that his time was running out.

Just as she had expected, the young man was indeed the same.

The young man easily passed the Sea God's tests and came before her, and it was at this moment that she learned of Tang Chen's death.

"Yes, it seems like more than seventy years have passed." Poseidon felt a sense of loss.

The latest novel is first published here!

Over the years, she had actually anticipated this, but when it was actually presented to her, Poseidon still felt somewhat sad.

Extreme experts can fly back and forth across the mainland in just two or three days. Tang Chen had not been to the island for over seventy years, so death was inevitable.

Time flew by, and the young man named Li Xun grew stronger at an extremely rapid pace until that moment arrived—the moment of sacrifice.

Poseidon's soul drifted in the air, and gradually, the surrounding scenery began to change again. Amidst the rippling water, the scenery returned to the moment when he parted ways with Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu.

"Poseidon, we're leaving today. The next time we meet will be the day I become a god," Tang Chen said with a confident smile.

Poseidon glanced at her clothes, then stared blankly at the two people before her. After a long pause, she smiled and said, "Alright, I'll wait for you."

Thirty years later, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao visited again to deliver a letter.

Poseidon accepted it and carefully placed it in an exquisite wooden box filled with letters.

Forty years later, Li Xun arrived with three girls, who, with their great talent and strength, passed through layers of tests and came before her.

"Poseidon, we're leaving today. The next time we meet will be the day I become a god," Tang Chen said with a confident smile.

Poseidon stared blankly at the two people in front of her, saying nothing, but simply nodding quietly.

Thirty years later, Tang Chen's two grandsons came to the island and presented a letter.

Poseidon did not open the letter again, but quietly placed it on a fine wooden box.

At this moment, on top of the wooden box, there was a thick stack of envelopes with the same handwriting and signature.

"Thirty years, seventy years." Poseidon leaned back in his chair, looking exhausted, lost in thought.

This is the only thing she can do here, on this island.

Whether it was intentional or simply an illusion, I don't know.

She remained conscious throughout and was not swayed by the illusion.

That's why she now feels that her persistence all this time is somewhat ridiculous.

She did consider killing Li Xun and the others to see what would happen if she didn't sacrifice herself, but she ultimately gave up on the idea.

Poseidon knew that her affairs were none of the young man's business, and that even without him, someone else would inherit the divine position on Poseidon Island.

As long as Tang Chen doesn't come, her fate will be fixed on Poseidon Island until she dies.

Will Tang Chen come?

The answer is yes, because even after thirty years, he still remembered the promise he made when he left, and resolutely set aside the Haotian Sect to search for the divine position.

But no, because the other party has never reappeared in the more than seventy years since.

Poseidon was weary. She had waited for Tang Chen for countless lifetimes, but each time all she received was a letter from Tang Chen's two grandsons.

In her spare time, she couldn't help but have some questions.

What did Tang Chen do for the first thirty years of his life?
