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

The backlash from having her martial soul pierced and shattered was considerable. Although she had achieved the level of a hundred god, she still couldn't avoid it. At this moment, the divine power within her body became disordered, and it would be difficult to freely regulate it in a short period of time.

At the same time, that attack also exhausted the soul power of Hailong and the others, making it impossible to maintain the illusion of the sea god. The illusion collapsed and turned into golden light that entered the divine test mark between their eyebrows.

"Let's fight again!"

For the first time, Poseidon manifested his divine armor, holding the Poseidon Spear and staring at the Sea Witch and the others opposite him.

Although her Martial Soul True Body was destroyed, Hailong and the others had also reached their limits, so she had not yet lost.

Even though her divine power was disordered and she couldn't mobilize it for a short time, she still had ice-attribute soul power, divine equipment, and the Sea God Spear in her hand.

When it comes to close combat, she's not weak either.

Chapter 538 The Unparalleled Sword

"starfish!"

Taking a breath, Hailong called out to the starfish that was still hidden beneath the surface of the sea.

Within the team, starfish are their most important logistical support, absorbing the soul power released during battles and reusing it.

While it's impossible to achieve 100% recycling, at least half can be recycled.

Use it sparingly.

Seven tentacles emerged from the seawater and pressed against the backs of the seven sea dragons, transferring a portion of their soul power.

This is what the starfish just absorbed through its awakened talent domain; more will have to wait.

After the soul power entered their bodies and they controlled its flow for a while, and confirmed that there were no problems, they all leaped towards Poseidon.

Even the sea witch took out the Xuanbing Twin Swords specially condensed by her master, the great liar, and swam quickly over with her fish tail swaying.

Hai Wang and Hai Gui also joined the fray, preparing for close combat.

There's no way around it. They have starfish on their side to absorb the soul power that erupted from the previous battle, but the High Priest is definitely using his mental power to adjust the divine power that has been disrupted by the backlash from the shattered Martial Soul True Body. Once the High Priest gets back on track, they will undoubtedly lose.

Therefore, it must be defeated before the high priest can restore his divine power.

The eight of them channeled all their soul power into boosting their physical explosiveness, launching a close-range attack on Poseidon with perfect coordination.

They had prepared for this battle for a long time, and all aspects were perfectly coordinated, allowing them to unleash their full combat power.

Faced with the onslaught of the crowd, Poseidon did not launch a quick attack with his gun. Instead, he circled around himself, deflecting and parrying the incoming attacks one by one, still avoiding a direct confrontation.

This was another fighting philosophy she had learned from that brat: using slow attacks to disrupt the opponent's offensive.

This combat concept can actually be considered a variation of the circle gun technique. Tian Hao's inspiration came from the Tai Chi sword, the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, and the Star Shift in martial arts novels from his previous life. It is also suitable for Poseidon, who is mainly water-based, and is more suitable for group battles. The more opponents there are, the better it is.

With the added boost from her divine gear, Poseidon held her own against the onslaught. Her slender legs, hidden beneath her long skirt and encased in her boots, would occasionally lash out, making her incredibly difficult to defend against.

"Now!"

The sea witch, who had been connecting everyone with her spiritual power, seized the opportunity and suddenly shattered the twin ice swords in her hands, guiding the extreme ice soul power within them to surge towards Poseidon.

Xiao Bai also shattered the Xuanbing Spear, guiding the ultimate Xuanbing soul power within it towards Poseidon.

This move was indeed unexpected by Poseidon. Although she immediately unleashed her ice-attribute soul power to resist, her armor was still frozen into thick layers of icy ice, hindering her movements.

Before the ice on the divine armor could be shattered, the Sea Spear Douluo's Sea Spear had already pierced in front of him.

Looking at the Sea Spear that had stopped in front of him, Poseidon withdrew his ice-attribute soul power with a complicated expression.

You've won!

"yeah!"

Seeing that Poseidon had finally conceded defeat, the sea witch excitedly stepped forward and hugged her, and the battle was finally won.

Before the sea witch could even rejoice for long, her pretty face was grabbed and pulled hard, revealing Poseidon's flawless, frost-covered face.

"You have won, but you will pay the price. Come to the Temple of Poseidon tonight."

With a cold glare, Poseidon turned and bowed to the sea god's divine sense on the Icelandic side, then flew straight towards the sea god's island.

The Sea God didn't pay much attention to this, after all, what had just happened had indeed been quite a shock to the girl.

The sea spirit masters on Iceland all had somewhat strange expressions. They never expected that the usually dignified high priest would have that kind of relationship with the new guardian of the holy pillar.

Although it looks like she was forcibly kissed, the fact that the Sea Spear Guardian wasn't killed is enough to prove something.

However, this is a good thing for their Seagod Island, at least the Seagod Martial Soul can continue to be passed down, and as long as the lineage of the High Priest exists, their Seagod Island can live forever.

"The high priest seems genuinely angry."

Xiao Bai was worried about the sea witch; she was definitely really angry just now.

"Witch sister, where are you going?"

Suddenly, Xiaobai noticed the sea witch swimming towards the deep sea, which puzzled him.

“Go tell Sister Poseidon that I’m going to patrol the surrounding seas and will be back in a few days.”

The sea witch's voice drifted from afar, clearly indicating she had no intention of going to the Temple of the Sea God tonight.

Just kidding. That lady is furious right now. If I really went, I'd definitely get a really bad beating. Anyway, Sister Poseidon will be heading to the mainland for the finals in a few days, and I won't be able to come back for at least a month.

By now, even the biggest anger should have dissipated over time. You can go over and apologize then.

Hailong and the others shook their heads with amusement. They were already used to the sea witch's personality and were not surprised by this.

After catching their breath, the group returned to Iceland and paid their respects to the Sea God Shennian before the Divine Spear Pillar.

"You all performed very well and did not disappoint me. You all passed this level of assessment perfectly."

The sea god nodded in satisfaction, and then shot out nine golden rays from his trident, which entered the foreheads of the eight people. Even the sea witch, who had already run far away, was caught up by a golden ray.

As the golden light merged into their bodies, the soul power of the eight people was greatly enhanced. In particular, the original sealed copy of the Sea God Martial Soul was further enriched and transformed into the true Sea God Martial Soul.

This was a reward from the Sea God's divine will. The previous battle with Poseidon was a divine test for the Sea Dragon and others. Not only did it reward them with a significant increase in soul power, reaching the limit of level ninety-seven, but it also transformed the temporarily sealed copy of the Sea God's Martial Soul into a truly complete Sea God Martial Soul, or rather, a divinely bestowed Martial Soul.

"Although this martial spirit cannot be perfectly integrated with you to become a true martial spirit for cultivation and improvement, it is enough to allow you to better utilize my divine power."

But as Hai Bodong said, it's even more difficult to break through to level 100 by refining my divine power. You need to comprehend the mysteries of divine power and ultimately transform your own soul power into divine power to achieve level 100 godhood.

After giving them a serious reminder, the Sea God placed high hopes on them.

In this great era, even if one doesn't autonomously condense a divine position to become a true god like the original body, one can at least become a level 100 god, or even strive to become a priest with a divine ring.

"I will follow the teachings of my God!"

Hailong and the others bowed respectfully once again, which would also be their future direction of cultivation.

The Sea God's divine will said nothing more. He used the Sea God's Domain to manipulate the ocean currents and propel the Iceland back to Sea God Island. Then, he created a guardian pillar in the lair of the Demon Soul Great White Shark near Sea God Island, and Little White became the guardian of the pillar.

Seven days passed, and after Hailong and the others had recovered from the weakness of their Martial Soul True Body, Poseidon, carrying the Trident of the Sea God, headed to Martial Soul City.

With his level 100 god-like strength, he arrived outside Wuhun City that very day, where a man was waiting by the city gate, leaning against a spear.

"Xixi, over here!"

Upon seeing the centenarian aunt, Tian Hao waved happily, drew his Dinghai Divine Spear from behind him, ran over to greet her, and gave her a hug first.

This caught Poseidon off guard again. After realizing what was happening, she quickly unleashed her divine power to repel the person and glared at him with annoyance.

This kid is getting bolder and bolder.

"long time no see!"

As if sensing Poseidon's arrival, a golden light flew out from Wuhun City and landed, with a figure inside looking at Poseidon with a complicated expression.

The visitor was none other than Qian Daoliu. Although he had long since let go of his feelings for Poseidon, he still felt strange upon seeing her again.

"long time no see!"

Poseidon nodded to Qian Daoliu with a calm and composed expression, which made Qian Daoliu sigh again.

Well, it's confirmed. Xixi really never liked me. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so calm when we met again. I was just having a one-sided crush.

He lost to Tang Chen again.

"He has become the guardian of the eighth sacred pillar of our Seagod Island. I hope you will not target him."

Poseidon didn't waste any words, making it clear that she would support someone.

After a moment of silence, Qian Daoliu nodded in agreement.

"Yes, but only if we don't deal with him first. If he targets our Spirit Hall in the future, I will kill him at all costs."

After reciting his lines according to the script, Qian Daoliu felt rather strange inside, and he couldn't help but laugh when he thought about his cheap grandson-in-law's actions.

It turns out that even the high priest of Poseidon Island, whom I admire, has such a silly and adorable side.

To conceal his strange thoughts, Qian Daoliu didn't reminisce with Poseidon. Instead, he gave someone a deep look before turning back to Wuhun City.

"Xixi, let me take you for a walk around the city. Although the Spirit Hall is not a very good person, they have built Spirit City quite well. There are many fun places to visit."

After Qian Daoliu left, Tian Hao took Poseidon's hand and walked towards the city gate.

We must seize this opportunity and work hard to improve our strategy to win over the centenarian aunt.

Having already experienced the audacity and domineering nature of that child, Poseidon didn't bother to break free and followed him into the Spirit City.

She was also very curious about Wuhun City, especially about the earliest Holy Light Tree.

The moment she entered Wuhun City, she felt herself locked onto by a powerful divine sense, no less powerful than that of the Sea God.

He wasn't surprised by this, understanding that it must be the Angel God of the Spirit Hall. As the guardian of the Sea God's legacy, he brought the Sea God's Trident, so it was normal for the other party to be wary.

While remaining locked in this state, I followed a certain kid around until late at night before finally arriving at the hotel. I was specially assigned a room with a balcony that faced the Holy Tree of Light.

"Lord Sea God, could we also create such a creation?"

Looking up at the Holy Tree of Light that had transformed into a silvery glow, Poseidon was both shocked and envious.

As a level 100 god with spiritual power infinitely close to divine sense, she could naturally sense how powerful that giant tree was. If their Seagod Island could also have such a divine tree, it would be of great benefit to both cultivation and defense against external enemies.

"According to intelligence, there are many more in the Great Wall defense zone nearby. Let's take one back with us when we leave to study it."

The divine thought of the Sea God in the Heart of the Sea God was very tempted. He also wanted to get one of these treasures for Sea God Island and then see if he could expand the scale of cultivation.

"Isn't this a bad idea?"

Poseidon was taken aback. He really hadn't expected the sea god's divine sense to have such thoughts. Could it be that the brat's evaluation of the sea god was correct?

“That’s true. You’re not suited for this. I’ll go and talk to that kid about it.”
