Douluo's Spirit Pearl Divine Sword

Inhaling the poisonous fog, Seahorse Douluo felt all his strength draining away, and he felt dizzy and lightheaded. In particular, his mental energy was declining rapidly, and if this continued, he would completely lose consciousness.

The outcome was decided, and in the final moments, both Douluo conceded defeat.

A black light descended.

"Stone millstone, the fifth test of the five trials of the Black level has been passed, and the soul power has increased by one level. Since all five trials of the Black level have been completed, an additional level of soul power increase has been awarded, and the current level is eighty. The Black level authority of Seagod Island has been granted, and a God-given Soul Ring has been ordered."

Chapter 485 The Attribute Power of the Ice and Fire Azure Scaled Dragon: Ning Rongrong Passes the Test Through Cleverness

"Azure Scaled Dragon Poison!"

"Third Soul Skill, Devour; Soul Bone Skill, Devour!"

In front of the Starfish Sacred Pillar, Dugu Yan and Starfish Douluo are engaged in a poison-devouring battle.

After Dugu Yan's martial soul evolved, her poison far surpassed that of Dugu Bo during his Soul Saint days. Even a Title Douluo would not dare to take it head-on.

However, the starfish Douluo she encountered today, like the porcupine Douluo of the Spirit Hall, possessed the ability to devour poison. Moreover, both his third soul skill and soul bone skill were devouring abilities. With both of them used together, Dugu Yan's poison had been completely ineffective so far.

Dugu Yan was getting anxious. The only way to defeat this kind of opponent was to wear him down, but the problem was that the opponent was a Title Douluo.

Although it's said that her strength is limited to 60%, this only means that all her soul skills are used at 60% power. The depth of her soul power remains unchanged. How can a mere Soul Saint compare to a Title Douluo in terms of attrition?

"Damn it, I won't admit defeat! Soul Bone Skill, Poisonous Rain!" A flash of light appeared on Dugu Yan's forehead, and dark clouds instantly filled the sky.

The purplish-black raindrops fell in a drizzling sound, and wherever they touched, they were corroded by the terrifying poison.

This is Dugu Yan's soul skill with the largest attack range. Of course, it also consumes an extremely large amount of energy, almost half of her power.

Starfish Douluo's martial soul is said to be a starfish, but its shape actually resembles a giant octopus. Especially after he activates his martial soul true form, he has as many as a hundred tentacles. Now these tentacles are being corroded by raindrops, and Dugu Yan reveals a confident smile.

Starfish Douluo laughed, "I really didn't expect you to have a soul skill with such a wide attack range. It has indeed exceeded my limit for absorbing. Unfortunately, it's useless against me. Fifth soul skill, Regeneration!"

New tentacles quickly grew from the corroded tentacles of the Starfish Douluo. Dugu Yan's ultimate move, which used up nearly half of her soul power, was completely ineffective against the Starfish Douluo.

At this moment, all of Starfish Douluo's tentacles rushed towards Dugu Yan. Dugu Yan had just exhausted herself and couldn't react at all.

His hands, feet, neck, and waist were all tightly bound by tentacles.

"I'm doomed, I can't move at all now!" Because her throat was being strangled, Dugu Yan was having difficulty even breathing.

“Admit defeat, little girl, and I’ll let you go,” Starfish Douluo advised. “Even if I kill you during the assessment, I haven’t violated Lord Sea God’s rules. If you don’t admit defeat, you’d better be prepared to suffocate to death.”

"I... will never admit defeat!" How could Dugu Yan give up so easily? When it comes to perseverance, she is one of the best in the Royal Fighting Team.

"Alright, you've used up your last chance. Now prepare to die! Ninth Soul Skill, Gravity, Tide Rise and Fall." The Starfish Douluo's Martial Soul grew larger and larger, and a huge black hole appeared in the very center of the Starfish Martial Soul, sucking Dugu Yan completely inside.

This is the strongest control-type soul skill of Starfish Douluo. Anyone sucked into this place will have their life force, soul power, and mental power rapidly drained by Starfish Douluo.

If she possessed overwhelming attack power, she might have had a chance to break free, but at this moment, Dugu Yan's limbs were still bound by tentacles, leaving her completely helpless.

Compared to the other Holy Pillar Guardians, Starfish Douluo's soul power is not very strong, ranking second to last. However, in terms of difficulty to deal with, he ranks among the top. The reason is simple: he is a control type.

Dugu Yan's remaining half of her soul power is being absorbed at an extremely rapid pace.

Just then, Dugu Yan suddenly laughed. Starting from her arms, the tentacles binding her were either frozen or burned, and she was immediately freed.

"This is... such powerful ice and fire power! Isn't this girl's martial soul the Azure Scale Poisonous Dragon? How can she possess such powerful elemental power?" Starfish Douluo asked in bewilderment.

Dugu Yan smiled faintly, "Hehe, Your Majesty Haixing, you've fallen for my trap. I feigned weakness before, not revealing the full extent of my martial soul. In reality, my martial soul is the Ice-Fire Azure Scaled Dragon. Over the years, besides poison, I have also diligently cultivated the power of ice and fire. Now, my soul power contains both extreme cold and heat. After absorbing so much of my soul power, do you still feel good?"

"Oh no!" Starfish Douluo exclaimed in surprise, only then realizing that he could no longer mobilize the soul power within his body. Whenever he tried to use it, it felt as if he were either surrounded by raging fire or in a freezing hell.

Despite absorbing so much of Dugu Yan's soul power, he was still almost at full strength. But the problem is, no matter how much soul power you have, it's meaningless if you can't use it.

"Break!" Dugu Yan still had about 20% of her soul power left, which was enough.

No matter how strong the ninth soul skill is, it is not unbreakable without the support of soul power. Dugu Yan forcibly broke out of the gravitational space of the Starfish Douluo.

"Third Soul Skill, Azure Scale Purple Poison!" Then, he used all his remaining soul power to unleash Azure Scale Purple Poison.

At this moment, Starfish Douluo was unable to mobilize his soul power to use the Devouring Technique. In fact, his body was immobilized because his meridians were frozen by Dugu Yan's icy soul power. He could only watch helplessly as the terrifying Azure Scale Purple Poison sprayed towards him.

With the deadly poison now permeating the entire Starfish Sanctuary, this trial has come to an end.

"Dugu Yan, you have passed the fifth test of the Black-level Five Trials. Your soul power has increased by one level. Since you have completed all five Black-level tests, you are additionally rewarded with a one-level increase in soul power. You are currently at level 80 (81). You are granted Black-level authority by Seagod Island and are hereby granted a God-given Soul Ring."

Having exhausted all her soul power, Dugu Yan finally passed the test. She knew she had used some tricks; if Hai Xing Douluo had used his full strength, her life force would have been drained the moment she was hit by his ninth soul skill. Title Douluo was indeed very powerful; she had won with great difficulty.

After the assessment, Dugu Yan slightly suppressed the deadly poison in Haixing Douluo's body. As for why she didn't remove it immediately, that was of course because of Ning Rongrong.

Just then, Ning Rongrong led Zhu Zhuqing this way. She had just easily defeated Hai Mao Douluo, and her target this time was Hai Xing.

This battle didn't even need to be fought, because at this moment, the Starfish Douluo's ice and fire powers had entered his body, and he was also poisoned. The outcome was decided in just ten seconds.

Based on the information provided by Xiaobai regarding the seven Sea Douluos before the assessment, the group had already formulated a battle plan.

Of the seven Sea Douluo, Sea Dragon, Sea Spear, Sea Illusion, and Sea Star need to use clever methods to pass easily. Otherwise, it would be too difficult for Ning Rongrong, who is more support-oriented, to defeat seven Title Douluo in a row within thirty-six hours, since she only has three spirit rings for combat.

However, if all seven relied on tricks, it would be too lazy and would inevitably displease the Sea God. Therefore, Ning Rongrong decided to challenge the three Douluo, Seahorse, Starfish, and Sea Maiden, head-on. This way, the problem should be solved.

That way, I can pass the test without disappointing Poseidon too much.

Chapter 486 Illusory Sound VS Sea Maiden Douluo Heavenly Sound Array

Before the Sea Maiden's Sacred Pillar, the Sea Maiden Douluo played her Sea Demon Flute, while Ling Yin plucked her strings. The battle here was not as intense as on other battlefields because it was a contest of pure music, and all the attacks were soul attacks.

After the Sea Maiden Douluo activated her weapon spirit true form, she had already played all seven pieces of music once, including Illusory Sea Melody, Sea Sounds Forbidden Soul, Seven Star Demonic Sound, Siren's Extreme Wandering, Banshee's Lament, Raging Sea Roar, and Heart-Stopping Demonic Melody.

Huan Yin also activated her true form, playing a series of songs from the Yao Guang Music Score to counterattack: Ning Yin Melody, Cang Huang Tune, Qi Liang Tan, Lun Hui Melody, Xian Qu Du E Tune, Xian Qu Ru Meng Tune, and Xian Qu Yong Sheng Tune, totaling seven songs.

Although the music played by the two was exceptionally beautiful, all the creatures in the vicinity retreated several kilometers away. This music was not to be listened to; listening to it would surely lead to a peaceful death amidst the beautiful music.

Surprisingly, the Sea Maiden Douluo was suppressed for almost the entire time, not in terms of soul power, but purely in terms of musical talent.

The Sea Maiden Douluo couldn't help but exclaim, "I never imagined that there would be someone on the continent with such profound attainments in music. Beautiful sister, please listen to my last song, my ninth soul skill, the Sea-Suppressing Divine Song!" She finally brought out her trump card, a divine song that is said to be able to calm even the most turbulent seas.

There are even rumors that when the pod of demonic killer whales chased the pod of demonic great white sharks to Seagod Island, the sea witch used this sea-suppressing melody to frighten them away, which shows how terrifying this melody is.

Faced with this piece of music, Huanyin knew she couldn't be careless; it was time to give it her all.

"Senior, please also listen to my 'Skylight Breaking Formation Melody'!"

The strongest piece of music by Ling Yin, one of the Seven Sages of Shu Mountain, has finally appeared. Back then, Huan Yin had only just learned the first level, yet she instantly defeated five members of the Spirit Hall Academy in the Academy Tournament, including Yan from the Golden Generation...

By now, she has already mastered the seventh level of the technique, and even a titled Douluo would not dare to be careless when facing this piece.

Two powerful spiritual forces collided in the air, accompanied by music. The Sea Maiden Douluo could only use 60% of her strength, while Huan Yin was blessed by the Seal of the God of Music. With this increase and decrease, the spiritual strength of the two sides was evenly matched.

At this point, it comes down to whose music is more powerful.

Huan Yin was surprised to find that from the beginning of the Zhenhai Divine Melody until now, it had not only not caused her any harm, but had also deepened her understanding of music, as if it were assisting her in her cultivation.

The Sea Maiden Douluo also noticed the anomaly, but she wasn't angry. It was just an assessment; losing was fine. However, there was one thing that bothered her a lot: what kind of technique did Huan Yin cultivate? It seemed that she could not only be completely immune to sonic attacks, but also absorb other people's musical notes to strengthen herself.

"Could it be the Heavenly Sound Array?" Huan Yin finally remembered that there was a very peculiar array in the Yao Guang Music Score that could only be cultivated at the seventh level or above. Huan Yin had been studying it for some time, but she had not been able to grasp the key points.

Unexpectedly, under the coercion of the Sea Maiden Douluo's Sea-Suppressing Divine Song today, I unconsciously set up the Heavenly Sound Array, which is much more powerful than the power of a domain.

"Thank you for your help, senior. I am able to comprehend this new skill thanks to you. Now, please enlighten me." Huan Yin smiled slightly, and her figure suddenly split into five, standing at a peculiar angle.

With some in front and some behind, their positioning is like a musical score.

This is the Heavenly Sound Array. Once activated, the body will transform into five clones representing the five notes of the pentatonic scale: Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zhi, and Yu.

The center of the formation is Gong, possessing extremely strong physical and mental defenses, making it difficult for any attack to penetrate. The four clones—Shang, Jiao, Zhi, and Yu—have equal offensive and defensive capabilities; each clone consumed weakens the power of the formation's center.

In other words, this formation is completely opposite to the conventional formation. Not only can you not attack the formation's core, but to break this formation, you can only work from the outside in and deal with the two clones, Shang and Jiao, first. Unfortunately, the Sea Maiden Douluo did not know this. Almost subconsciously, she focused all her mental energy on the clone in the very center, Gong.

It should be noted that, with the other four clones intact, Gong's physical and mental defenses were more than five times that of Huan Yin's usual level. With only 60% of the Sea Maiden Douluo's mental power, he couldn't budge her in the slightest.

The Sea Maiden Douluo's spiritual power vanished without a trace, like a small river flowing into the ocean.

Before the Sea Maiden Douluo could even be surprised, the Sky Light Breaking Formation Melody that the five clones had been playing finally reached its climax. Five dazzling beams of light shot out from the five clones and rushed straight towards the Sea Maiden Douluo.

Almost instinctively, the Sea Maiden Douluo exclaimed, "I surrender!"

Huan Yin smiled slightly and immediately stopped playing. The five beams of light did not hit the Sea Maiden Douluo and slowly dissipated in the air.

The Sea Maiden Douluo breathed a sigh of relief. It was really too dangerous just now. Those five beams of light were all mental attacks. If they had really hit him, even if he was a Title Douluo, he would probably have been seriously injured even if he didn't die.

"Senior, you flatter me!" Huan Yin dispelled the formation, returned to her true form, and bowed to the Sea Maiden Douluo.

"Pretty sister, you are really amazing! The cultivation technique you practice is the strongest of all the sonic techniques I have ever seen, even stronger than the direct lineage techniques of our mermaid clan." The Sea Maiden Douluo flattered, "Pretty sister, how about you teach me? I'll trade you my clan's music."

Huan Yin was speechless at the way the Sea Maiden Douluo kept calling her "sister." In fact, the Sea Maiden Douluo was already over ninety years old, but since the lifespan of the mermaid race is five times that of humans, ninety years old is less than twenty years old in human terms. Therefore, the Sea Maiden Douluo insisted that she was still very young, and it was reasonable for her to call Huan Yin, who was nearly thirty, "sister."

However, this guy's personality is really a bit like a little girl's. He loves to act cute, like right now, he's thinking of asking Huanyin for the Yaoguang Music Score.

Huan Yin said helplessly, "Senior, it's not that I'm being overly protective, but this technique was passed down to me by someone else. Even if I agree to pass it on to you, I must get his permission first. Please don't make things difficult for me, Senior."

"Okay!" The Sea Maiden Douluo pouted and acted cute, looking extremely aggrieved.

Fortunately, she's not a real child, and she's not yet an unreasonable brat.

The Huanyin assessment has now been successfully passed. Of all the assessments, only Ning Rongrong, Oslo, and Oscar have not yet completed theirs.

Ning Rongrong has already passed the trials of the Sea Spear and the Starfish. At this moment, she is heading to the Sea Demon Holy Pillar with Oslo.

This ruthless character, ranked third among the Seven Sons of the Sea God, is said to have the ability to see through what others fear most, making him an extremely difficult opponent.

Chapter 487 Oslo vs. Tang Hao Again

Oslo's challenge is about to begin. After Ning Rongrong defeats Sea Star Douluo, they come together to the Sea Illusion Sacred Pillar to prepare to challenge Sea Illusion Douluo.

Unlike the other Holy Pillar Guardians who had been waiting there for some time, when they arrived, all they saw was a faint blue light and shadow spreading across the sea. Under the cover of the blue light and shadow, they could not see the situation on the Holy Pillar Square at all, and naturally they could not see Haiwang Douluo himself.

"What's going on? How are we supposed to start the assessment if Haiwang Douluo doesn't show up?" Osro asked in confusion.

At this moment, a purple-clad guardian from Seagod Island came forward and said, “The three of you have been waiting here for a long time on the orders of Lord Haiwang. In fact, your test has already begun. This blue mist is Lord Haiwang’s strongest illusionary domain and his most prized illusion technique. All you have to do is pass through this blue mist, and that will be considered passing the test.”

"Starting with a Domain right off the bat? Looks like this Sea Demon Douluo isn't exactly known for his good temper. But I'm not afraid," Osro said confidently. "Let me go first."

After saying that, Osro, possessed by the Ghost Leopard, rushed into the blue smoke. He wanted to use his speed as an agility-type Soul Master to cross the fog as quickly as possible.

However, when he entered the heart of the fog, he seemed to get lost and unknowingly found himself in a forest.

This is Poseidon Island, how could there be such a forest? And for some reason, this forest felt familiar to him.

Just then, a flying hammer suddenly spun towards them. Sensing the danger, Oslo instinctively retreated to avoid the attack, only then seeing the true nature of the hammer.

"Haotian Hammer!" Osro exclaimed in surprise, immediately looking up in the direction from which the hammer had come. A man in a robe was standing on a treetop, a scene all too familiar to him.

It was back in the Star Dou Great Forest, when he was killed by Tang Hao with a single hammer blow.

"You are Tang Hao? No, Tang Hao is dead. It's an illusion created by Hai Wang Douluo. Xiao Bai said that Hai Wang Douluo has the ability to draw out people's deepest fears." The thing that Osro feared most was, of course, the moment he was forcibly killed by Tang Hao. After all, he had truly experienced death back then.

"I...I'm not afraid, it's fake, it's fake." Osro's arms were still trembling, and he could only keep comforting himself. Psychological trauma is not something that is easy to overcome.
