Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 244 Ominous Omen
Just before dawn.

The sun has not yet risen from the horizon.

The streets and alleys of Poseidon City were already bustling with people and traffic.

Every street in the city is hung with lanterns. These countless lights dispel the darkness of the night and make this city built on the mountain as bright as day.

On the top of the mountain, in front of the gate of the imperial palace.

Chen Haitian stood on the cliff and looked into the distance to the end of the eastern horizon. On the horizon there, he could vaguely see the slowly rising light of the morning sun.

Today he was wearing a complete set of luxurious blue and gold clothes.

The fabric is as blue as the sea, with light golden cloud patterns embroidered evenly and appropriately.

The sea breeze blew the robe, making it look like flowing water, and the light golden cloud patterns were like the golden light created by the sun shining on the sea.

From being a descendant of the illegitimate child of the sea god, he suddenly became the legitimate successor of the sea god. It all seemed like a dream, too dreamy to be real enough.

After today's coronation ceremony, Chen Haitian will be the founding emperor of the Sea God Empire. His name will be famous throughout the ages and remembered by future generations.

Whether this reputation will be passed down through the ages or left as a laughing stock for eternity depends on whether today's coronation ceremony can be successfully completed and not be sabotaged by people with ulterior motives.

To be honest, he was nervous.

Chen Haitian stood on the cliff, from where he could overlook the entire Poseidon City.

The wide field of vision allowed him to clearly see the people coming and going on the street.

He knew that among this crowd, there might be people who wanted to sabotage his coronation ceremony.

Time passed slowly, the sun rose, and dawn came.

Under the glow of the morning glow, the old priest of Chenjia Village quietly walked behind Chen Haitian.

"Xiaotian, it's getting late. You should go back to the palace and get ready."

The kind voice in his ear made Chen Haitian turn around. After seeing who was coming, he put down his guard and told the old man about his troubles:
"Grandpa priest, do you think I can successfully complete the coronation ceremony today?"

As he spoke, his brows were furrowed.

Since last night, he had an ominous premonition in his heart that he couldn't shake off. Even with a level 99 peerless Titled Douluo like Poseidon, he didn't have enough confidence to believe that he could successfully complete the coronation ceremony.

"When an enemy comes, we will fight him with our troops; when a flood comes, we will block it with earth. The people of Poseidon Island have made all the necessary preparations. If this still cannot allow you to complete the coronation ceremony smoothly, then it is God's will that cannot be violated."

The old priest did not make any guarantees. He knew that the most important thing for Chen Haitian now was to relax his mind instead of adding to his psychological burden.

"Whether or not the coronation ceremony is successfully completed today, you are the successor of the Sea God and have a bright future."

“Therefore, your vision should not be limited to the present, but look to the future.”

"History is written by the victors. As long as you can inherit the throne of Poseidon in the future, won't you have the final say on how history books are written?"

Inherit the throne of Poseidon? Maybe!

Chen Haitian did not tell the old priest that his ominous premonition was not only about today's coronation ceremony, but also included the inheritance of the sea god.

In order to reassure the old priest, he forced a smile and replied in agreement:
"Yes, Grandpa Sacrifice, I understand."

...In the huge square to the west of Poseidon City.

This is where the Emperor of the Seagod Empire will hold his coronation ceremony.

The ceremony has not started yet, but the square is already surrounded by an endless crowd.

In a tall building not far from the square.

In the top-floor box, Bone Douluo Gu Rong and Poison Douluo Dugu Bo sat opposite each other.

Gu Rong participated in this operation on behalf of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect as the Protector Douluo, while Dugu Bo participated in this operation on behalf of the Tiandou royal family as the royal priest.

Next to them, there was another person sitting.

That person, like Gu Rong and Dugu Bo, was wearing a black robe that covered his entire body, with only his face exposed.

Just looking at the attire, it is hard to tell who this person is.

But the only one who can sit side by side with two Titled Douluo is another Titled Douluo.

This person's name is Xu Xuchen. He is a Titled Douluo-level elder of the Xingguan Sect, a hidden sect in the Xingluo Empire. His title is Chen Guang.

The Star Crown Martial Soul is a top-level star-type weapon martial soul, and it is also a rare all-round martial soul.

The martial soul combines attack, assistance, control and defense, so the owner of the Star Crown martial soul can choose from multiple training directions.

Whether it is the strong attack system, the agile attack system, the defense system, the auxiliary system, or the control system, they are all within the selection range of the Star Crown Martial Soul.

However, the powerful and almighty capabilities of the Star Crown Martial Soul are also subject to the inherent limitations of the Martial Soul.

Just like the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda can only be cultivated to the seventy-ninth level of Soul Saint, the Star Crown Martial Soul can only be cultivated through meditation at night with the help of starlight.

The direction of cultivation chosen by Dust Light Douluo Xu Xuchen is defense.

Among the three Titled Douluo, Gu Rong and Xu Xuchen are both defensive Titled Douluo with full life-saving abilities. In addition, Dugu Bo has extremely poisonous means that make all those below him as weak as ants. The combination of the three can be described as one offense and two defense, with no obvious weaknesses.

Originally, they wanted to bring over the Titled Douluo from the Body Sect, but the appearance of the Sea Soul Beast made them give up these ideas.

For the coronation ceremony of the founding emperor of the Poseidon Empire, not only did all the people of the entire Poseidon Island gather in Poseidon City, but even the sea soul beasts who believed in Poseidon gathered in the sea area west of Poseidon City.

The seven major sea soul beast tribes that migrated to the rivers of the mainland: the three-eyed magic whale tribe, the blood-marked seal tribe, the ice-fang sea lion tribe, the sky jellyfish tribe, the magic soul anemone tribe, the bloodthirsty starfish tribe, and the red-shelled crab tribe.

The Poseidon mount, the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan led by the 100,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark Xiaobai, as well as the mermaid and other 100,000-year-old sea soul beasts.

Most of these sea soul beasts are aquatic, and only a very small number are amphibious.

Because they are just lurking in the sea around Poseidon City, serving as a deterrent to possible destroyers. There are not many sea soul beasts that can actually leave the ocean and go ashore to help.

But just because the sea soul beasts don't come out doesn't mean that no one is planning to attack them.

In his eyes, those lunatics in the Body Sect and those hundred thousand year old sea soul beasts were all walking hundred thousand year old soul rings and soul bones.

What if those lunatics couldn't resist their greed for the hundred thousand year soul rings and soul bones and attacked the sea soul beasts guarding the sea, then the three of them would be in trouble as well. No, it should be said that all of them would suffer together. It's just that whoever teams up with that lunatic will bear the greatest risk.
