Douluo: Martial Soul Asura Sword, Supreme Killing God

Poseidon walked up to the high platform where the trident of Neptune once stood.

The phantom of the sea god pointed from afar, and crimson-gold flames suddenly ignited in the void.

Immediately afterwards, a gate of light burning with flames appeared in front of Poseidon.

This is the gate to the Ninth Trial of the Sea God.

It originally required the high priest to sacrifice himself to open it, but now the sea god personally intervened, using his own divine power to directly open this door to the divine throne.

Poseidon took a deep breath, her eyes filled with determination, and stepped into the fiery light gate.

In the blink of an eye, her figure disappeared from the high platform.

Light and shadow shift and change.

Poseidon was now in a vast blue underwater world.

Her body continued to sink until a magnificent palace came into view.

The palace is located at the deepest point of the ocean, at least 200 meters high and over 1,000 meters long and wide.

Its entire body was a deep blue, and it was surrounded by a faint golden light that enveloped the entire palace, completely isolating it from the seawater.

Poseidon quickly descended to the edge of the light shield.

With the help of the Heart of the Sea God, she passed through the light barrier smoothly and landed lightly in front of the palace.

She looked up and saw two heavy, massive doors standing before her.

Suddenly, with a loud bang, the two heavy doors opened automatically.

Without the slightest hesitation, Poseidon stepped into the temple of the sea god.

The palace has a very high dome, and at the far end of the hall is a huge throne.

Seated on the throne was Poseidon, the god of the sea.

"Poseidon greets His Holiness the Sea God."

Poseidon came to the center of the hall and bowed.

"No need for formalities," Poseidon said calmly. "Poseidon, the process of inheriting divine power is extremely painful and requires immense perseverance."

Furthermore, I must remind you that your inheritance is divided into six parts. You must remember that no matter what pain or temptation you experience, you must remain true to your original aspirations and never waver.

Normally, Poseidon's warning would already be considered a violation of the rules.

Poseidon's ability to obtain divine trials was inextricably linked to the Asura God, and with the Asura God around, Poseidon had no worries about the Divine Realm Committee holding him accountable.

"Thank you for the reminder, Lord Poseidon."

Poseidon said no more.

In an instant, the hall was filled with light, and the scene before her eyes suddenly changed.

When she could see her surroundings again, she found herself on a golden circular platform.

Six small circular platforms are suspended around the platform.

Suddenly, one of the small round platforms flew straight to Poseidon's front.

"what--!"

A sharp pain instantly struck, and Poseidon cried out in agony.

At this moment, her right arm's soul bone was being forcibly stripped away by an invisible force.

Her soul bone had long been integrated with her, and forcibly separating it would be tantamount to tearing off tendons and bones, a pain that ordinary people simply could not endure.

At that moment, the severed right arm bone flew toward the small round platform.

The circular platform immediately lit up with golden light and began to modify the soul bone.

This is the process of the ninth test.

The six round platforms correspond to six trials, namely the six desires among the seven emotions and six desires.

Each level will strip a piece of Poseidon's soul bone away.

After enduring the excruciating pain of having one's bones ripped apart, comes the test of one's desires.

Only by passing all the tests can she truly reach the level of a god.

However, compared to Tang San's test of seven emotions, Poseidon's test of six desires was much simpler.

After all, she only had six soul bones and no external soul bones.

Secondly, her Heart of the Sea God was intact.

Just as the soul bone began to be transformed, the scene before Poseidon's eyes suddenly changed.

The first hurdle is the desire for sight, one of the six desires.

Poseidon found himself standing in a glittering golden treasure trove.

Before her lay mountains of gold and silver jewelry.

All she had to do was reach out, and it was all hers.

However, Poseidon simply watched all of this calmly, her gaze as still as water.

She has long held the position of High Priestess of Poseidon Island, ruling over a region, and has no shortage of such things.

Before long, the treasure trove before her eyes shattered with a crash, turning into countless golden specks of light that vanished.

"Ah!" Poseidon cried out in pain again.

Her left arm bone was ripped out and flew toward the second pedestal.

The second test is to assess your hearing.

The scene before her eyes changed again.

This time, she found herself on Poseidon Island, surrounded by many familiar faces.

They surrounded her in the center, showering her with praise.

Every word was gentle and pleasant to hear, without a single bad word, only praise and flattery.

Poseidon listened quietly, his expression calm.

Having held a high position for many years, she was never short of people flattering her.

But she knew all too well that no matter how sweet the flattery was, it was nothing more than a passing breeze.

Her heart remained calm, and the illusion shattered once more.

As time went by, the next challenges followed one after another.

First, there's the olfactory and linguistic desires, which pose no difficulty for Poseidon.

Secondly, the fifth barrier is physical desire.

This hurdle is not about lust, but about the instinctive human desire for comfort and the yearning for ultimate ease.

However, this hurdle was not difficult for Poseidon, and she passed it easily.

Just then, Poseidon let out a scream that was more painful than ever before.

Her head and soul bone were suddenly ripped off!

The pain was far greater than anything she had ever experienced before, as if her entire soul had been ripped from her body.

Poseidon's consciousness briefly plunged into darkness amidst excruciating pain, only to be reawakened by a force.

The final hurdle: desire.

This is also the most difficult hurdle to overcome among the six desires.

Desire is not simply a thought or desire, but rather the most secret and genuine longing deep within one's heart.

The scene before Poseidon's eyes changed once again.

This time, she stood atop a mountain peak.

The mountain wind howled, the sea of ​​clouds surged, and the afterglow of the setting sun burned the horizon into a magnificent orange-red.

Poseidon's pupils suddenly contracted.

She knew this place very well.

This is where she and Su Mo officially established their relationship.

Suddenly, Su Mo's figure appeared directly in front of Poseidon.

Chapter 184 The Descent of the Sea God

"XiXi, I'll stay on Poseidon Island from now on and stay with you forever, okay?"

Su Mo's voice was gentle, possessing an irresistible magic.

Poseidon's heart skipped a beat, and she frowned as she asked, "Stay on Poseidon Island? What about Dong'er and the others?"

She had to admit that, deep down, she truly longed to possess Su Mo's love exclusively.

After all, she was once a proud person and never imagined that one day she would share a husband with someone else.

But Su Mo gave her a new life, a different life, and warmth and happiness she never dared to hope for.

This feeling has long transcended the narrow definition of possession.

She was willing to share Su Mo's love with them.

That's why she buried this longing deep in her heart.

“I only love you, so I don’t plan to go back to the mainland.” As she spoke, Su Mo opened her arms. “Xi Xi, come here quickly. As long as you come here, we will never be separated again.”

Upon hearing this, Poseidon's heart pounded. She stared intently at Su Mo and began to slowly move forward.

One step, two steps...

In the blink of an eye, she was less than half a meter away from Su Mo.

A warm embrace was right in front of her; just one more step and she would be in Su Mo's arms.

Of course, this also means that she has completely left the area of ​​the round platform, which means that she has failed the assessment.
