Douluo's Spirit Pearl Divine Sword

"Because I estimated that you should be around the time of the sixth exam, I came early. This exam is different from the previous ones; it's life-threatening," Tianlin said solemnly.

"Life-threatening? Why? This test is being conducted by Senior Poseidon. Although Senior Poseidon is very powerful, she is also a very kind person. She has taken good care of me for the past three years. She shouldn't kill me, right?" Ning Rongrong asked, puzzled.

Chapter 497 Summoning God Transfer

“No, she will, and originally she definitely will, but because of my letter three years ago, it has become a possibility. The reason I came early is to eliminate this last possibility.” Tianlin told Ning Rongrong the whole story of Poseidon and Tang Chen, as well as the sacrifice Poseidon would have to make when she reached the ninth trial of the Sea God.

This made Ning Rongrong fully understand Poseidon's thoughts. It turned out that she had an obsession with her lover. No wonder, if she were in the same situation as Tianlin, she would definitely not want to die before seeing Tianlin.

Although Tianlin had promised to bring Tang Chen to see her, it was just a verbal promise, so how could Poseidon fully believe him?

Ning Rongrong leaned against Tianlin's chest, looking at the sea with a somewhat melancholy expression.

Tianlin had just explained why he didn't return Tang Chen ahead of time: he was worried that Poseidon could cure Tang Chen. In the original story, Tang Chen was not only poisoned, but his body was also completely destroyed by the Asura God power that suddenly descended after breaking through the eighth trial.

Now, he's only poisoned; the Asura God's power has long since left his body. The Sea Demon Douluo of Seagod Island is a master of poison, and with Poseidon's Seagod Light, it's not impossible for him to be saved.

Although the poison was terrifying and had penetrated deep into the bone marrow, with only a one in ten thousand chance of being saved, Tianlin was too lazy to gamble on Ning Rongrong, no matter how low the chance was.

Otherwise, Poseidon might fight even more fiercely than in the original story in order to be with the recovered Tang Chen. Killing the examinee during the test would displease the Sea God, but it wouldn't break the rules, and even the Sea God wouldn't do anything to her.

Therefore, Tianlin originally planned to appear halfway through the sixth test with the crystal that sealed Tang Chen, so that Poseidon would know that Tang Chen was indeed in his hands, and then signal Poseidon to wait until Ning Rongrong finished her test before returning him.

This is to ensure that Ning Rongrong will definitely be able to break through the sixth test of the Nine Trials of the Sea God.

The method is feasible, but for Ning Rongrong, doing so would not make her feel good. In the past few years, Poseidon has treated her well and taken good care of her in all aspects. Moreover, if she were to become a god, she would have to sacrifice her life.

In this respect, she truly owed her a great deal. She knew that Tianlin could save Tang Chen, and that Extreme Curse Reversal of Yin and Yang could cure everything. She should plead for her, at least in her final days, so that she and Tang Chen could live happily ever after to repay this kindness.

But if he pleads for Tang Chen, he will be asking Tian Lin to save someone who is destined to be his enemy. If Tang Chen recovers, he will not be able to avoid returning to Haotian Sect even once. At that time, because of Tang San and Tang Hao, he will inevitably become enemies with Tian Lin and fight to the death.

Tang Chen is not Poseidon. As the High Priestess of Poseidon Island, Poseidon cannot leave for long periods of time. Therefore, no matter how much she misses Tang Chen, she cannot go to him all these years.

She was truly in a dilemma. If she didn't plead for mercy, she would be letting down Poseidon; if she did plead for mercy, she would be letting down Tianlin.

No wonder Tianlin didn't want to show up early; he probably did it to avoid making her conflicted.

"I'm sorry, Senior Poseidon, this time Rongrong has no choice but to be selfish. I can't make enemies for my husband," Ning Rongrong thought to herself.

Seeing that Ning Rongrong remained silent for a long time, Tianlin knew that she was struggling with her decision. Although she would eventually choose him, she couldn't help feeling guilty.

Tianlin was helpless in this regard. He once claimed to be a false saint. Why was he false? It was because all his good deeds and acts of helping others were based on the premise that the interests of his own relatives would not be harmed.

Tang Chen is, after all, a Limit Douluo and has a close relationship with Poseidon. If he returns to the Clear Sky Sect, he will be a great enemy to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Within the entire sect, apart from himself and his master, no one is his match.

Even if my master has achieved greater success in the way of the sword of annihilation, he can only be evenly matched with him at best.

He had even decided that even if Poseidon could cure Tang Chen, he would still intercept and kill him on his way back to the Clear Sky Sect. Tianlin didn't want any more opponents at the Limit Douluo level.

He wasn't afraid; neither were the sect disciples nor Ning Rongrong.

"By the way, Rongrong, it's actually good that you called me out early. I prepared a reunion gift for you two. Here's yours now; it will definitely help you break through to the sixth level of the test," Tianlin suddenly said. This was the only way he could divert Ning Rongrong's attention.

"A gift? So the two-headed thunder dragon was given to Brother Tianheng by you. What about me? I'm your wife, our relationship is even better than brothers, right? His gift is a 70,000-year soul ring. If the gift you give me is less than a 100,000-year soul ring, I won't accept it!" Ning Rongrong said coquettishly.

She was already a little jealous, but after Tianlin arrived, the first person he cared about was Yu Tianheng, even though she was the closest spouse.

Tianlin gently stroked her hair and said softly, "Don't worry, it's guaranteed to be even more precious than a 100,000-year soul ring. Take out your Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."

Although Ning Rongrong didn't know what Tianlin was going to do, she never doubted him and immediately summoned the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

Looking at the eighth red spirit ring on the tower, Tianlin was very pleased. It takes a lot of perseverance to condense a divinely bestowed spirit ring into a 100,000-year spirit ring. It seems that she has grown a lot.

Immediately, Tianlin summoned the Holy Spirit Pearl and said, "Rongrong, do you remember when my master and I fought against Qian Daoliu, I summoned two helpers."

"Yes, I remember, one was called the God of War, and the other was the God of Mountains." Ning Rongrong certainly remembered how powerful Tianlin was back then, thanks to the combined power of the two gods.

Tianlin nodded. "That's right. The Martial God and the Mountain God are both incarnations of gods, possessing formidable strength. In fact, they are both formed from a divine thought and a portion of power left behind by a true god within the Spirit Pearl. After the Earth Spirit Pearl becomes my Soul Ring, I can summon it. The Martial God, on the other hand, was subdued by a great god who directly sealed his power and divine strength within my Holy Spirit Pearl. The Soul Ring is like the key to unlocking the seal, allowing me to use the Summoning God Technique. As my strength increases, I can gradually unlock the gods' power."

"What do you mean? Does it mean that as long as you obtain the Spirit Pearl, you can summon the gods?" Ning Rongrong asked in confusion.

"Almost. Not only do we need to obtain it, but we also need to learn how to use it." Tianlin took out a blue spirit pearl from his pocket. "This is the Water Spirit Pearl. The one inside is somewhat special; it's not a god, but a powerful demon, a snow demon, whose strength is no less than my Martial God Mountain God."

"Although I cannot let you directly absorb the power of the Water Spirit Orb, I can transfer the Snow Demon's divine sense and a small portion of its power sealed inside and seal it into your Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. From now on, the right to summon the Snow Demon will belong to you."

This was something Tianlin had planned long ago. With his current strength, he didn't lack the help of a summoning god. Moreover, most of the Snow Demon's power was still within the Water Spirit Orb, so it didn't affect the Water Spirit Orb's power. It was just that the Snow Demon had power but no divine sense, so Tianlin couldn't summon it.

Tianlin wanted to give all his power to Ning Rongrong, but the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda simply couldn't withstand the Snow Demon's full strength. The pagoda would definitely explode. He had originally considered whether he could seal her in the Ice and Snow Maiden Martial Soul, but Ning Rongrong's Snow Maiden Martial Soul was special. It was an intelligent Martial Soul, with the Ice and Snow Maiden's soul residing within it.

Tianlin worried that if he put the Snow Demon's divine sense into it, the enormous soul power might annihilate the Snow Emperor's soul.

The Ice and Snow Maiden was the one who guided Ning Rongrong to undergo a qualitative change; they couldn't repay kindness with enmity and do something so risky.

Furthermore, the maximum power limit of the Snow Demon imported into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is enough to reach the level of a first-level god, which is sufficient for Ning Rongrong's use at least during this period in Douluo Continent.

Looking at the Water Spirit Orb, Tianlin murmured to himself, "Miss Snow Demon, please take care of my wife for me. Once I reach the world of Immortal Sword, I will definitely find your true form and visit you to express my gratitude."

Chapter 498 The Sea God Douluo's Trial: Summoning God Technique - Snow Demon

Three days later, at dawn, when the first rays of sunlight shone on Poseidon Island, the sacred gold of the Poseidon Temple, towering atop Poseidon Mountain, bathed the entire mountain in a divine golden light, making all the plants there seem to burst forth with vibrant life.

Before the circular sea, several young figures stood on the backs of the Demon Soul Great White Shark, heading towards Poseidon Mountain.

"Good luck, everyone. I don't know why, but I feel that even if the Sea God Douluo himself takes action, it won't be difficult for you. Once you pass the test, remember to come to the beach and tell me the good news." After seeing everyone off, Xiao Bai turned and left.

Ning Rongrong, Oscar, Oslo, and Yu Tianheng exchanged glances and walked resolutely toward Poseidon Mountain.

"Are you ready?" A calm, ethereal voice drifted over, and a red figure descended from the sky. As before, no one knew how she appeared; the Sea God Douluo Poseidon had already landed before them. Compared to before, her face now held less of a smile and more of a serious expression.

"You only have one chance, and I won't go easy on you. If you fail my test, you are all well aware of the punishment that Lord Poseidon will bring upon you."

The immense pressure emanating from the Sea God Douluo made it almost impossible for those present to breathe.

"We are all ready, please give us your guidance, senior!" As the eldest member of the team, Yu Tianheng took the initiative to step forward and shoulder most of the pressure for everyone.

"Alright, those who are not involved, please stand aside and watch. The assessment will begin immediately." Poseidon casually lit an incense stick and stuck it in the ground.

"Everyone, get ready for battle, activate your Martial Souls!" Yu Tianheng shouted, and the four of them activated their Martial Souls simultaneously.

Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, Ghost Leopard, Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, and the Demon Sword copied from Sausage.

With the assistance of Ning Rongrong's three-day soul, Oscar's magic sword can be used for three minutes. In addition, with the self-recovery of the Myriad Spirits Rejuvenating Light and the Extreme Curse Returning Yin and Yang, it can last for about seven to eight minutes.

Moreover, this demonic sword actually possesses a ninth spirit ring, which Tianlin gave to Ning Rongrong last night—his new blood.

"You're not running away?" Poseidon was slightly surprised. The best way to fight her was to scatter and run away. After all, it was said that as long as one person was standing, the test would be passed.

This is the method Tang San used in the original story.

But yesterday, Tianlin told Ning Rongrong that this method was not feasible because Poseidon would not pay any attention to the other three people. If she were to kill them, all her attacks would be directed at Ning Rongrong. Letting the other three pass the test would not affect her.

But at that time, Ning Rongrong will be unable to hold on alone and will surely die.

Poseidon thought so too. Over the years, her murderous intent toward Ning Rongrong had only been hidden, but it had not completely dissipated. The person who promised to bring Tang Chen had not yet appeared, and she couldn't help but suspect that the person was lying to her, just using Tang Chen's information to get her to help Ning Rongrong pass the test. Once Ning Rongrong passed the sixth test, she would no longer have the chance to kill her.

"Then, let's begin. Second Soul Skill, Sea God's Gaze!" Poseidon gently raised her hand, and the four of them immediately felt as if they were being held in the palm of a giant hand.

This is a permanent soul skill lock. After activating Poseidon's Gaze, all of Poseidon's subsequent attacks will inevitably hit the opponent. It's hard to imagine that this is only a second soul skill.

"Nine Treasures are famous!" Several beams of light flew out from Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda and enveloped everyone. This time, she unexpectedly gave everyone the same support, which was the Three-Day Soul. Only Oscar had a Five-Day Attack and a Six-Day Enhancement.

Oscar's greatest strength when wielding the Demon Sword is undoubtedly his offensive power.

"You think you can defeat me with that sword? You're being too naive. Besides, I have no interest in anyone else. Fourth Soul Skill, Annihilation Sea." Poseidon remained motionless, but a massive wave erupted from the ground. Because of the presence of the Sea God's gaze, no one could dodge it. Except for Ning Rongrong, the other three were trapped by the wave.

This is a control-type soul skill that can control the entire enemy field. Poseidon trapped everyone else but left Ning Rongrong out. The answer is obvious: she only trapped others, but she was going to kill Ning Rongrong.

Sure enough, the next moment, Poseidon casually summoned more than a dozen huge water spheres, each hundreds of meters in diameter, which together covered the entire sky.

"The vast ocean is raging!"

All the water spheres fell, all targeting Ning Rongrong. Poseidon was ruthless enough; if it weren't for the protection of the Sea God's Light, these dozen or so water spheres alone, once they exploded on the ground, would have been enough to submerge the entire Sea God Island.

"Eighth Soul Skill, Nine Treasures Divine Light Protection!" Ning Rongrong decisively activated her defensive soul skill. Unfortunately, although her eighth soul skill was said to be able to block the ninth soul skill of a Title Douluo, it depended on the person. The Vast Ocean Raging Waves was Poseidon's self-created soul skill, and its power was enough to surpass the ninth soul skill of an ordinary Title Douluo, which had exceeded the upper limit of the Nine Treasures Divine Light Protection.

"A decent defensive soul skill, but how many moves can it withstand?" Water balls slammed into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda one after another, and cracks appeared on the magnificent pagoda. Ning Rongrong spat out a mouthful of blood; Poseidon's power was truly astonishing.

"Damn it, the target is Rongrong after all. With Xiaotian not here, what kind of Royal Fighting Captain am I if I can't even protect my own younger brother and sister-in-law? Eighth Soul Skill, Thunder Dragon - Double Thunder Shock!"

"Don't underestimate the six soul bones and invincible golden body that Xiao Tian gave me."

At this moment, Oslo and Yu Tianheng suddenly exerted their power. Yu Tianheng's newly acquired eighth soul skill and Oslo's six soul bones erupted completely, and the two Soul Douluos broke free from their seal and joined forces to save Oscar.

Oscar has remained silent so far, seemingly waiting for something.

Seeing that the three had escaped the Sea of ​​Annihilation, Ning Rongrong realized that her opportunity had arrived. Her eighth spirit ring flashed again, and a new power appeared: "Eighth Spirit Skill, Summoning God Technique—Snow Demon!"

Suddenly, a massive, overwhelming chill appeared from within the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

The wind and snow gathered and transformed into a woman of celestial beauty, dressed in a white gauze robe, with her long blue hair flowing in the wind.

The Ice and Snow Maiden inside Rongrong was shocked. This one looked and acted very similar to her, but was ten times more noble. Could this be the goddess of their Snow Maiden clan?

The Snow Fairy looked at the remaining water spheres in the sky, waved her long sleeves, and in an instant, the water spheres turned into ice spheres. The ice spheres were no longer under Poseidon's control and fell down one by one.

This would destroy Poseidon Mountain, so Poseidon immediately gathered all her soul power and bounced the falling ice ball into the sea.

"Is this the power of the Snow Demon? It broke through the attack of the Limit Douluo so easily!" Ning Rongrong exclaimed in surprise. It was as if the Snow Emperor was assisting her in the battle.

Chapter 499 Passing the Trial: The Heaven and Earth Spirit Slash Reappears

The Snow Demon's strength depends on Ning Rongrong's strength. Ning Rongrong, who is at level 84, summons a Snow Demon with the power of a Title Douluo. Although it is still far inferior to Poseidon, its powerful freezing ability can buy her some time.

"I didn't expect you to have such a trump card, but because of your limitations, she can't fully unleash her power and is still no match for me." Poseidon spoke softly, but the murderous intent in her tone sent chills down everyone's spines.

"Sixth Soul Skill, Sea Burial!"

Poseidon raised his scepter, which spun with him, causing the world to change. A dark blue black hole appeared in the sky, which then formed a waterspout. The immense suction seemed to pull everything into the black hole and seal it off.

"The High Priest has even used this move. It seems the outcome is already decided. Unless one's soul power is higher than the High Priest's, or one's attack power is strong enough to tear apart a black hole, there is no possibility of breaking through." The Sea Dragon Douluo, who was watching the battle, sighed and prepared to leave. In his opinion, a group of children around level 80 were doomed to die under this move.

"Sister Snow Fairy, please hold them off for us for a while," Ning Rongrong pleaded.

The snow demon nodded slightly to Ning Rongrong, flew to the black hole, and released all her cold energy to freeze the water tornado as much as possible. Unfortunately, her current strength was only a fraction of what it was at its peak. Otherwise, she could have frozen the entire black hole directly. Now she could only delay it for a minute.

It only took a minute. Taking advantage of this moment, the four of them suddenly stood in a straight line, using Ning Rongrong's Fusion Ring ability as the core, and channeled all of their soul power into Oscar's body at the front.

With the amplification of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the combined soul power of the four soul masters who were over level eighty directly pushed Oscar's soul power to level ninety. On the Demon Sword, the originally dim eighth and ninth soul rings immediately began to flicker.

"This is a four-in-one fusion technique!" Poseidon was finally slightly moved. She realized that these children had placed all their hopes on that sword.

"Ah!!!" Oscar suddenly let out a painful roar. He could probably still withstand the eight-ring demon sword, but reaching the nine-ring was almost beyond his limit. He needed some time to withstand this power, which was a great test of his willpower.

But Poseidon didn't want to give them that time. So what if the black hole was temporarily sealed by the Snow Demon? She could still attack it herself.

"A raging storm!"

Poseidon gently raised his finger, and a towering wave surged behind him, threatening to engulf everything.
