Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Black Dragon, I am the Lord of the Gods

Chapter 313 Crossing the Light of the Sea God, Level 666

……

At the foot of Poseidon Mountain, the seven guardians of the sacred pillars gathered, their eyes all focused on the winding white jade staircase.

They originally came to observe the performance of these exceptionally talented young people under the light of the Sea God, but the scene before them deeply shocked even these titled Douluo.

Ning Rongrong, Hu Liena, Xiao Wu and other girls, on their first attempt, the lowest level had already stepped onto more than 30 steps, and the highest level, Arou, even reached 60 steps before being bounced back.

Such achievements far surpass the level of their first attempt, and can be described as truly remarkable.

However, what astonished them the most was the black-robed youth who started last—Xuan Ming.

He stepped onto the steps with such composure, as if he were not going to endure terrifying pressure, but rather to enjoy the scenery on a normal mountain climb.

Level 10, Level 20, Level 30... He walked as if on flat ground, his speed not slowing down at all, easily overtaking the women who were struggling to climb.

"This...is his body made of iron?" The Sea Maiden Douluo covered her mouth, her sky-blue eyes filled with disbelief.

She had personally experienced the terror of Xuanming's dual domains, but she never expected his physical abilities to be so abnormal.

Seahorse Douluo's expression was solemn: "It's not just his body; the level of his soul power refinement and his spiritual power realm far exceed his apparent soul power level. The first few dozen levels of the Sea God's Light are probably no different from nothing to him."

As Xuanming steadily surpassed level fifty, his steps remaining perfectly fluid, Sea Spear Douluo couldn't help but exclaim, "He's past level fifty! The pressure is starting to increase dramatically, and he can still maintain this speed?"

Level 70, Level 80, Level 90...

Xuanming's figure remained clear in the golden halo, each step he took was steady and powerful.

Below the steps, Ning Rongrong, Huo Wu, and the others, who were still struggling to climb, had already reached their limits. They were sent back to the starting point by the gentle yet irresistible golden light. They collapsed on the beach, panting heavily, but their eyes were all fixed on the ever-ascending figure.

Level 100!

This is a watershed moment; the pressure will increase dramatically again.

Xuanming's body finally paused slightly, and the air around him emitted a low hum, but he only made a slight adjustment before stepping onto the 101st step again!
"Level 100... He reached level 100 on his first try!" Sea Ghost Douluo's voice was slightly hoarse.

The Sea Dragon Douluo, the strongest person on Seagod Island after Poseidon, had an extremely serious expression on his face. He stared intently at Xuan Ming's back and said in a deep voice, "When I first tried, I was at level 85 with my soul power. I barely managed to reach level 80 by relying on my martial soul advantage."

Upon hearing this, the other guardians gasped in shock.

They were well aware of Hailong Douluo's talent and strength; his achievement of reaching level 80 back then was already astonishing.

But this young man in front of me, whose soul power was clearly only level 70, broke through the level 100 barrier so easily!

Level 108! Level 120! Level 136!
Xuan Ming not only easily met the requirements of the Black-level assessment, but even surpassed the 136th level required for the top-level assessment, which Ning Rongrong and others needed to reach! And he still showed no signs of stopping!
"Level 150!" Seahorse Douluo's voice trembled. "He's still going higher! Is...is this really something a human can do?"

When first facing the suppression of the Sea God's Light, the body needs an adaptation period no matter what! Even a Title Douluo will be greatly disturbed when first stepping into the Sea God's Light.

On the steps, Xuanming felt the pressure around him had become like tangible lead and mercury, frantically squeezing his body, trying to force his soul power back into his body and crush his bones.

The golden light penetrated everywhere, even beginning to impact his mental sea.

But his eyes remained calm.

This level of pressure is certainly intense, but compared to battling countless vengeful spirits in the Blood Pool of the Slaughter City, and compared to constantly suppressing the backlash of the Blood Spear lurking within his body, it seems... still within a bearable range.

The Ice and Fire Dragon Essence within his body circulated wildly, and the power of extreme ice and extreme fire formed a delicate balance within him, working together to resist external pressure.

Although his Killing God Domain could not be released to counter the Sea God's Light, his willpower, honed to the extreme, allowed him to ignore the impact on the mental level.

One step, another step.

His pace finally slowed down, but his steps remained firm.

Level 160! Level 170! Level 180!

The seven guardians of the sacred pillars below had completely lost their voices, staring blankly at the figure that seemed like a miracle.

Finally, on the 188th step, Xuanming stopped.

"it is finally over……"

Below, the seven Holy Pillar Guardians, including Sea Dragon Douluo, breathed a sigh of relief in unison, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.

On his first attempt, he reached level 188! This is simply an unbelievable achievement! In the entire history of Poseidon Island spanning tens of thousands of years, there has never been such an astonishing record!

Sea Dragon Douluo opened his mouth, about to utter a sigh, but—

"Huh?!" His pupils suddenly contracted!

On the steps, the black-robed figure who had stopped walking was not bounced back by the light of the sea god, but instead... moved!
Instead of being pushed back by pressure, it... surges forward!
Xuanming lowered his body slightly, and the next moment, he charged towards the higher steps like an arrow released from a bow, bearing the terrifying pressure that could crush even an ordinary Title Douluo!

He started running!
How can this be? !
The pressure from the Sea God's Light at the 188th step was terrifying! It was an absolute domain capable of instantly crushing fine steel into dust and solidifying soul power! Ordinary people would find it extremely difficult to even stand, so how could he possibly run?!
"Has he...has he gone mad?!" the Sea Maiden Douluo exclaimed in shock, her sky-blue eyes filled with horror.

Seahorse Douluo, Sea Spear Douluo, and the others were all frozen in place, their minds blank, completely unable to comprehend this mind-blowing scene before them.

Xuanming's figure became somewhat blurry in the golden halo, but his speed was astonishing!
Level 190! Level 195! Level 200!
He actually broke through the level 200 barrier in one fell swoop!
At this level, the light of the sea god is no longer a gentle test, but has transformed into a violent and destructive energy!
Golden light crashed against his body like a raging torrent, creating a deafening roar! The air was compressed to its limit, making a tearing sound as it was unable to withstand the pressure!
But Xuanming didn't stop for a moment; in fact, he continued to accelerate!
He pushed the Ice and Fire Dragon Essence within his body to its limit, and the icy blue and crimson light intertwined and flowed across his body, forming a strange shield that withstood the terrifying pressure that was enough to tear apart a Soul Douluo!
Level 220! Level 250! Level 280! Level 300!
He was like a meteor tearing through the golden waves, forcefully breaking through the barrier of the 300th level!

Below, the seven Holy Pillar Guardians, including Sea Dragon Douluo, had completely lost their ability to think and could only stand there like stone statues, their minds blank.

Is this a human being?
Xuanming's speed finally began to slow down. Each step he took seemed to shatter the void, producing a dull thud, and the space around him was violently distorted.

But he kept striving upwards!
Level 310! Level 320! Level 330!

Finally, on the 333rd step, Xuanming's figure suddenly stopped.

Level 333...

This number caused a very subtle, almost imperceptible, flicker of disorientation to cross Xuanming's icy blue eyes.

It seems... I've heard of it somewhere before? Or... I've seen it before?
Just when everyone below thought he had finally reached his limit and was about to be bounced back or begin to recuperate—

Xuanming took a deep breath, and the air he inhaled seemed to carry the energy of thunder. His eyes suddenly burst forth with an even more intense light!

Instead of stopping, he exerted his strength again!
boom--!
The white jade steps beneath his feet groaned under the weight, and he, like a ferocious beast freed from its shackles, transformed into a streak of light once more, charging towards an even higher place!

He actually... started running again!

"!!!"

This time, even the Sea Dragon Douluo, the second strongest on Seagod Island, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets!
Level 333! He can even accelerate?! How is that possible?!

The Sea Maiden Douluo completely covered her mouth, her sky-blue eyes filled with horror and confusion, as if she were wondering if she was hallucinating.

Seahorse Douluo, Sea Spear Douluo, and others were as if struck by lightning, their bodies stiffened, and their thoughts completely stopped.

On the steps, Xuanming's figure was moving so fast that it was almost invisible. Only a stream of red and blue light could be seen, going against the destructive golden tide and heading upwards!

Level 350! Level 400! Level 450!
The pressure had risen to a terrifying level that defied description! The light of the sea god there was no longer light, but had transformed into a nearly liquid, incredibly heavy, and destructive golden ocean!

The ice and fire shield around Xuanming's body began to fluctuate violently, as if it might shatter at any moment. Fine cracks began to appear on his skin, and blood kept seeping out, turning him into a blood-soaked figure.

But the light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter!

This extreme pressure, this feeling of being at odds with the whole world, was frantically stimulating the dormant blood spear within him!
Om-!
The Blood Spear emitted an excited buzz within his body, and the extremely ferocious killing intent seemed to be ignited. Instead of backfiring, it transformed into a violent force, forcibly merging with the power of the Ice and Fire Dragon Essence to jointly resist the external pressure!
Fight fire with fire! Confront destruction with ferocity!

Level 500!
Xuanming broke through the terrifying height of level 500!
The space around him was completely distorted and shattered, and golden liquid energy swirled around him like a storm, tearing his body and soul apart!
Upon reaching this point, he could no longer maintain his running posture.

His speed dropped drastically, and every step became incredibly difficult, as if he were trekking through solidified diamond. His bones made a teeth-grinding creaking sound, as if they were about to shatter completely at any moment.

But he kept striving upwards!

Step by step, slowly, but with unwavering determination!

Level 550! Level 600!
Finally, on the 666th step, Xuanming stopped again.

The pressure here is terrifying beyond description.

He slowly raised his head, and on his blood-stained face, his icy blue eyes shone with an astonishing brightness, as if flames were burning within them.

Om-!
A dark red light suddenly condensed in his palm, and a ferocious blood spear that seemed to be forged from solidified blood appeared out of thin air!
The moment the blood spear appeared, the surrounding raging golden liquid energy seemed to be stimulated, becoming even more turbulent!
The sacred and vast light of the sea god seemed to have encountered a natural enemy, frantically attacking and suppressing the violent and deathly aura emanating from the blood spear!
Chi Chi Chi -!
The dark red, malevolent aura clashed violently with the golden, sacred light, creating a chilling sound.

Xuanming could clearly feel that the light of the sea god had a strong suppressive and purifying effect on the chaotic and violent origin of the blood spear.

The omnipresent divine pressure, like countless fine needles, pierced into the blood spear, impacting the chaotic pseudo-soul within, formed from fragments of endless slaughter, causing it to emit painful and furious howls.

From the moment he stepped onto the Nine Heavens Mystic Steps and sensed the targeted, irrational pressure, he realized something was wrong.

His first test was clearly "reshaping his will," which had nothing to do with climbing the stairs, so why was he subjected to such a clear and intense suppression of the light of the sea god?

Sure enough... it was Poseidon, the seemingly unserious sea god, who secretly "added something" to his life.

This vast and pure light of the sea god, this oppressive aura filled with divine purification power, is the best external force to suppress, temper, and even purify the ferocious aura of the Blood Spear!
