Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

This scene left Poseidon speechless once again, feeling frustrated and disappointed.

She was originally the most outstanding genius and strong person of that era, but now the times are changing too fast, and it feels like the new wave pushes the old wave over the beach.

This feeling is very unpleasant.

At this moment, Poseidon communicated with her through divine thought. After understanding, Poseidon forced herself to adjust her mindset, stepped out of the temple in high heels, and explained as she walked.

"The Sea God's Trial is not as simple as you think. The first test, crossing the Sea God's Light, is not easy. The test content is this stone mountain path, also known as the Sea God's Path. There are a total of 1,001 steps, representing the 1,001 years that the Sea God spent to become a god."

Covered in the light of the sea god, it simulates ocean currents and pressure. With each step ascended, the pressure increases by ten percent, and no soul skills, including soul ring skills and soul bone skills, can be used; one can only climb up on one's own…”

Poseidon spoke earnestly as she recounted the revised divine test administered by the Sea God. This represented the dignity of their Sea God Island, and they absolutely could not allow that thing to look down on them again.

"Is each step a 10% increase over the previous one, or is the pressure of the first step the only standard?"

Listening attentively, Tian Hao waited until Poseidon finished explaining the divine test of the Light of the Sea God before asking the key question.

When I read the novel in my previous life, it only mentioned that the pressure of the second stage was 10% stronger than that of the first stage, and then it only said that the pressure was getting stronger and stronger, but it didn't describe it in any further detail.

This raises a question: does the 10% increase in pressure build upon the pressure of the first stage, or does it increase based on the pressure of the previous stage?

If it's the former, it's fine; even if the pressure reaches the end, it's only a hundred times that of the first stage. But if it's the latter, the pressure in the end would be so great that it would crush not only the human body, but even Mount Poseidon itself.

Therefore, he personally believes that the former should be preferred. Otherwise, if the latter were used, the light of the sea god alone would be enough to crush the angel god, and even the god king would have to kneel.

Chapter 520 Mystic Ice Bones

"Experience it for yourself!"

Faced with Tian Hao's question, Poseidon remained silent for a while, then turned and went back to the Temple of Poseidon after leaving a message. She didn't want to talk to that thing anymore, otherwise she would be so angry that she would go through menopause.

"Do your high priests possess some kind of extreme attribute?"

Watching the graceful figure return to the temple, Tian Hao suddenly asked.

What do you want to do?

The sea witch instantly became alert, sensing that this big liar was up to no good.

"I feel that she has a certain extreme quality that would make her very suitable to be my wife and have children, but I don't know what that extreme quality is."

I sensed holy, light, and water attributes within that harpoon. Since she can use that artifact, there must be at least one attribute that resonates with it.

Tian Hao spoke very seriously; this was indeed a big deal, and Poseidon was his biggest target in his plans for Poseidon Island, even more so than the Seven Pillar Guardians.

"You said you wanted to have my child."

The sea witch was filled with grievances: "You big liar, you lied to me again."

“I hate being lied to more than anything in my life, especially by women, so you are no longer my slave, you are free.”

Tian Hao first glanced sadly and reluctantly at the mermaid, then resolutely severed ties with her.

"Isn't it enough that I've admitted my mistake, Master!"

The sea witch immediately apologized and admitted her mistake, having decided that this was the master she would never forget.

"Get out of my way, I am not your master, and you are not my slave anymore."

Pushing the mermaid aside, Tian Hao walked towards the stone steps. The moment he stepped down, a golden mist appeared, bringing an unimaginable pressure that seemed to crush Tian Hao's entire body.

Tian Hao manifested the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Spear, transforming it into a suit of armor that he wore, while simultaneously displaying his own sword intent to withstand the pressure.

"As expected of the Light of the Sea God, the pressure is truly extraordinary."

It took Tian Hao quite a while to finally get used to it, and he praised it.

This scene left Hailong and his companions speechless, and even Poseidon, who was secretly watching from the Sea God's Temple, was taken aback.

She had walked the Path of the Sea God years ago and knew very well how great the pressure was, especially the last stone step, which was comparable to the terrifying water pressure of the deepest sea and was simply unbearable for a normal human body.

Even now, she can only rely on divine power to withstand the pressure; she couldn't even withstand it when she was at level 99.

But the child has managed to pull through, even though his physical condition is not at its peak.

Is this what a prodigy is like?

After barely getting used to the pressure, Tian Hao stepped onto the next stone step, and the pressure lessened by a barely perceptible amount, at least compared to the previous step.

"As expected, it's just based on the first stone step."

With a sigh, Tian Hao quickened his pace and descended the 1001st step of the Sea God's Path in less than half an hour.

"You don't happen to have a complete set of 100,000-year-old soul bones, do you?"

Following the path of the Sea God, Starfish Douluo couldn't help but ask, and the others had the same thought. Even a huge head appeared in the bay not far away, which made them curious and somewhat hostile.

She was also a soul beast, and a 100,000-year-old soul beast at that, so naturally she was very hostile to human soul masters who possessed 100,000-year-old soul bones.

After all, each 100,000-year-old soul bone represents a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

"I also wanted to get a soul bone, but unfortunately I didn't. The reason I have such strong physical attributes is mainly due to the modification of my skeletal structure."

Shaking his head slightly, Tian Hao expressed both longing and regret for the soul bone.

He doesn't actually have any soul bones right now, at least not soul beast soul bones. In fact, for the sake of deceiving Seagod Island this time, he even temporarily replaced his bones with those of Xuanbing.

"Skeleton modification?"

The group looked at each other, having never heard of such a term before, and were also quite puzzled as to how bones could be modified.

They had only ever heard of incorporating soul bones into bones before. Starfish Douluo had a devouring soul bone, which should also be considered bone modification.

"It involves extracting the original bones and replacing them with those made of mystic ice. Does anyone want to try it? The results are quite good."

As he spoke, Tian Hao conjured a black ice thigh bone and gestured to the others.

In my past life, apart from the brain and spinal cord, which couldn't be moved freely, almost all other parts of my body could be transplanted, including bones. I could have my own bones transplanted or transplanted from someone else; at most, I would need to deal with the rejection reaction.

And this is just for normal bone transplantation. Other materials can be used instead. The most common use is for inserting steel plates for patients with comminuted fractures. More advanced methods use titanium alloys, which can theoretically permanently replace bones.

The most famous example is Wolverine from the movies, and the skeleton inside his body is made of ice.

While maintaining it is a bit difficult, it's only a bit difficult.

"That's how you got your scars?"

The sea witch gently stroked the hideous scars, her heart filled with heartache.

Looking at the dense scars on Tian Hao's upper body, especially those along his bones, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

I was wondering why he had so many strange scars on his body, which didn't seem like they were from a battle. Who would have thought that was the reason?

While it's true that a Soul Master has to be ruthless to themselves during cultivation, this is just too ruthless.

It has already exceeded human limits.

"By the way, do you have any healing-type Soul Masters? The injuries on your body are affecting your condition."

Without saying anything more, Tian Hao gestured for a healing-type Soul Master to come.

"I'll go find it for you."

The sea witch responded immediately and flew towards the edge of Poseidon Island.

"Your entire skeleton has been replaced?"

Hai Mao couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, and at the same time, he was also very interested in it.

They had witnessed this person's physical abilities firsthand; he was absolutely superhuman. He had even withstood the extreme pressure of the Sea God's Light.

If one could possess such physical qualities, or rather, bone strength, then replacing one wouldn't be out of the question.

"No, the spine and skull haven't been replaced. We've just reinforced them with a layer of mystic ice. After all, the spinal cord and brain are too fragile, and the slightest carelessness could cause permanent damage."

Tian Hao's explanation, which he made no attempt to hide, showed great candor.

The most basic principle in making friends is honesty; otherwise, if you have ulterior motives, you'll only end up with business partners.

Everyone looked at the person's back and, sure enough, there were no centipede-like scars there. Moreover, the protruding vertebrae of his spine were much larger than those of a normal person, probably because they were covered with a layer of mysterious ice.

"Without your ice attribute, how would you change your bones?"

After thinking it over for a while, Sea Spear Douluo finally gritted his teeth and decided to do it.

As a weapon spirit master, although the power of spirit skills is often stronger than that of beast spirit masters, physical fitness is a major weakness.

After all, the soul skills of weapon spirits all work on the spirit itself, and their enhancement to the body is very limited.

If the skeleton were to be transformed into this form of mystic ice, it would be tantamount to refining a set of soul bones, and a high-quality one at that.

"Other soul masters certainly can't do it, but you should all have water attributes. You just need to induce the water attribute into the ice attribute. My ultimate Xuanbing soul power can do this, so controlling Xuanbing to a certain extent is not a big problem."

If you train well enough, you can also use the replaced Xuanbing bones as a foundation to evolve my kind of Xuanbing battle armor, increasing your defensive capabilities.

After observing the determined and eager Sea Spear Douluo, Tian Hao decided to start with him.

If Sea Spear Douluo were to be given a complete set of Xuanbing bones, his strength would undoubtedly be further enhanced. Once Sea Spear Douluo's strength were greatly enhanced, the other Saint Pillar Douluos would inevitably be unable to resist joining him.

When the time comes, I will replace the bones in these people's bodies with Xuanbing (a type of ice), and I will be able to control them to a certain extent. Not to mention controlling their life and death, at least if they really become mortal enemies in the future, I can use this to restrain them.

Of course, if the plan to sow discord goes smoothly, this will not be necessary.

"Please teach me!"

He bowed respectfully and sincerely asked for guidance.

“Teaching you is no problem, but you have to help me figure out how to marry your high priest and have children for me.”

He casually put his arm around Sea Spear Douluo's shoulder and made no attempt to hide his demands.

Just then, the sea witch flew back with two healing-type soul masters. Upon hearing someone's words, her pretty face immediately puffed up into two little buns.

"This……"

Sea Spear Douluo was dumbfounded; even someone as brave as him couldn't help but break out in a sweat.

He dared not interfere in matters concerning the High Priest, let alone in this particular area.

"Is it difficult? Is she married? She doesn't seem like it."

The shyness I felt when we made eye contact was genuine; she seemed like the type who'd never even had a normal romantic relationship. She shouldn't be getting married.

Tian Hao was greatly surprised, then analyzed it seriously and said that the High Priest was someone who could be won over.

Hailong and the others wisely fell silent, not daring to participate in the discussion, otherwise they would be in trouble if the High Priest summoned them later under the guise of giving them guidance on cultivation and beat them up.
