Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 392 Courage
Fifteen minutes is neither a long nor a short time.

With only a few breaths left in this quarter of an hour, the battle between the raging flames and the raging torrent in the west of Poseidon City also came to an end.

At that very moment, Xu Pan's mind stirred.

The Sea God's Trident, a divine artifact hidden in his chest, underwent a slight change.

"The Sea God's legacy has returned to the inherited artifact. Hong Jun is quite something; he's ruthless."

Only when the inheritor of a god dies will the divine position be passed on from the inheritor's body back to the divine artifact. The changes in the Trident of the Sea God indirectly indicate that the inheritor of the Sea God, Chen Haitian, fell into the hands of Ma Hongjun.

Behind the majestic mountain range, divine fire soared into the sky. Amidst the crimson clouds, a phoenix, draped in a seven-colored robe, emerged from the flames. Upon closer inspection, a person was found captured beneath the phoenix's claws.

The fire phoenix spread its wings and flew over mountains and the city of the sea god, descending upon the center of the battlefield.

At that moment, exactly fifteen minutes had passed.

"The pirate leader has been killed, so you scoundrels may go with him!"

The majestic voice echoed once again across the battlefield.

The right arm bone of the 100,000-year-old Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, one of the two great soul skills: Blood Fiend - Dragon Slaughter!
On the battlefield, the dense aura of bloodlust responded to the call of some power, condensing into thousands upon thousands of bloodlust dragon shadows.

These dragon shadows varied greatly in strength, some as strong as a Soul Saint, while others were so weak that they were even inferior to a Great Soul Master.

At this moment on the battlefield, the strongest survivors of the Sea God Empire were only Soul Kings. They were powerless against the Blood Fiend Dragon Shadow, whose strength was comparable to that of a Soul Saint. As for the numerous ordinary soldiers, they had no chance of survival against the Blood Fiend Dragon Shadow, who possessed the strength of a Great Soul Master.

Blood Fiend Dragon Slaughter is a Blood Fiend Dragon Shadow formed by gathering the power of Blood Fiend. It can be merged into one or divided into thousands. The former is suitable for one-on-one battles, while the latter is suitable for clearing out weaker opponents, commonly known as "stomping noobs".

On the battlefield, amidst the rising aura of bloodlust, screams echoed incessantly, but soon subsided completely.

"Clean up the battlefield and return home in triumph."

After leaving behind these eight words, Lin Rong disappeared from the battlefield.

……

The vast ocean stretches to the horizon.

A streak of azure light sped across the sea, passing countless islands before finally arriving at its destination: Poseidon Island.

"Xu Keming has pledged allegiance to the Sea God Empire but is not in Sea God City, so he is very likely here. If he is not here either, we will have to search the entire continent."

Lin Rong refined her spiritual power and transformed it into divine sense, which then rapidly spread out, probing the entire Seagod Island inch by inch. At the same time, she activated her life perception to its limit, searching with all her might for Xu Keming's figure and aura.

Poseidon Island is an island within an island.

On the steps in front of the Temple of the Sea God, Xu Keming sat cross-legged on the 144th step, meditating and cultivating here with the pressure of the Sea God's light.

After a long while, he opened his eyes, puzzled:
"Strange, why do I feel so restless today?"

Xu Keming had been cultivating on Poseidon Island for more than half a month, and this was the first time such a situation had occurred.

"Could it be that the army of the Heavenly Dou Empire has invaded? Or perhaps the Sea God Empire has already been defeated?"

As time went on, Xu Keming's unease grew stronger.

Suddenly, a black dot appeared on the distant horizon. The dot rapidly magnified in his eyes and soon took on a blurry human shape.

Suddenly, a deadly sense of crisis filled Xu Keming's heart. This intense sense of crisis caused Xu Keming to instinctively release the divine artifact, the Fallen Demon Feather.

Although the Fallen Angel Feather is a dark divine artifact, it is still classified as a wing. While its speed is not as fast as the Wings of Freedom of the God of Speed, it should not be underestimated.

It's too late to think about escaping now.

Within the reach of her divine sense, Lin Rong saw Xu Keming trying to escape. She immediately refined her soul power into divine power, unleashed her spatial power, and vanished instantly.

"We've seen you, do you think you can get away with this?"

Lin Rong quietly appeared behind Xu Keming, placing a hand on his shoulder.

Before Xu Keming could react, the power of thunder surged through his body in an instant, and the intense pain and numbness spread throughout his body. He then fainted.

To extract the divine inheritance from a divine inheritor, either the inheritor must do so voluntarily, or the inheritor must die and the divine inheritance will return to the inheriting artifact.

Lin Rong didn't know what kind of personality Xu Keming had, but since he parted ways with Luo Minghua because of the Jixiang incident, it was clear that he had a strong and unyielding character.

Believing that such a person would voluntarily relinquish their divine position is like believing that pigs can fly.

Therefore, the only absolutely reliable way for Lin Rong to obtain the Dark God's divine position inheritance within Xu Keming is to kill him and take it, just like Ji Xiang did.

a bolt from the blue.

After a flash of lightning, six pairs of black wings floated in mid-air from within the charred bones. Strands of inherited power peeled away from the charred bones and returned to the Fallen Demon Feathers.

"The inheritance of the Dark God's throne is mine!"

Lin Rong stored the Fallen Demon Feather she had obtained in a blank soul tool, and then took the two ten-thousand-year soul bones from the charred bones.

The two soul bones were not very old; one was a 30,000-year-old left arm bone, and the other was a 40,000-year-old left leg bone.

"It's a bit low, but I'll keep it as a valuable collection to appreciate in the future."

Having obtained the Dark God's throne, the only remaining option for merging the Star God's throne is the Angel God's throne, which serves as the best harmonizing agent.

However, the position of the Angel God is in the hands of the Spirit Hall, and the first hurdle to overcome is the Golden Crocodile.

After all, the Angelic Armor can only pinpoint the exact location of the Angelic Godhood; it cannot summon the Angelic Godhood from under the Golden Crocodile's nose.

"Let's wait and see, let's talk about it after I get my ninth ring."

Lin Rong had a premonition that the fourth level of the Marrow Cleansing Scripture, "Flick of the Finger Beyond the Beginning," would be reached simultaneously with his breakthrough to Title Douluo.

At that time, with the Marrow Cleansing Scripture at its perfect state, the prototype of divine equipment consisting of six 100,000-year-old soul bones plus two external soul bones, and a soul ring configuration of five black and four red, Lin Rong was confident that he would be able to truly possess the power to directly confront the gods.

If you ask who gave him the courage, it would of course be Tang San from the original novel.

Even the angel goddess Qian Renxue almost died at the hands of the incomplete version of Guanyin's Tears, which nearly led Tang San to commit the act of killing a god. Lin Rong's configuration after reaching the ninth ring is no worse than or even stronger than Tang San in the original work, so she is naturally full of confidence.

When that time comes, he and the old steward will be able to seize the Angelic Holy Sword and the Hall of Worship that carries the inheritance of the Angel God's position from the Golden Crocodile.

If the golden crocodile is uncooperative and insists on fighting to the death, unwilling to retreat or escape, then we can grant his wish to die in battle.
