Douluo Continent: A Review of the Top Ten Martial Souls, Qian Renxue Breaks Through Defenses

Chapter 118 Poseidon

“However, Seagod Island has always been isolated from the world, does not get involved in continental conflicts, and is not friendly to land-based soul masters…” Bone Douluo hesitated.

"We can't worry about that now."

Ning Fengzhi shook his head. "This is not just a conflict between continents, but a disaster that could sweep across the entire world. The premise for Poseidon Island to remain uninvolved is the peace of the ocean."

"Now that the Demon Emperor has been born, intending to seize and even rule the ocean, how can Seagod Island remain unaffected? We must try to make contact, even if there is only the slightest possibility."

The entire Douluo Continent was plunged into unprecedented panic and turmoil due to the Demon Emperor's inclusion on the list.

In coastal areas, countless people fled inland with their families, causing road blockages and widespread panic.

Major powers frantically mobilized resources to reinforce coastal defenses and recruit Soul Masters, creating an oppressive atmosphere of impending doom.

In the ocean, the once bustling shipping trade has almost come to a standstill. Occasionally, a daring ship will set sail, but soon news will come that it has been attacked or gone missing by a terrifying sea monster.

In the depths of the sea, the Demon Emperor's will, like an invisible network, is transmitted to every corner of the vast ocean through the currents of water and demonic souls.

Countless powerful and ferocious sea spirit beasts began to respond to the call of their king, converging towards the Demon Whale Sea, or restless in their respective territories, casting their hateful gazes toward the brightly lit human coastlines near the shore.

The Demon Emperor sat atop his skeletal throne, his abyssal demonic soul sensing the growing panic and hatred emanating from the ocean, and the chaos and despair emanating from the continent. The cruel curve of his cold lips became increasingly pronounced.

"Fear, struggle, humans... this is only the beginning."

"When my billions of sea monsters trample your coastline, when your civilization is swallowed by the sea and darkness, when the gods you worship fall silent before the resentment of the deep sea... that will be the climax of the revenge feast."

She slowly raised her head, her deep blue eyes seemingly piercing through the endless sea, gazing at the sky, towards the direction of the divine realm in the darkness, the flames of hatred burning in her eyes almost setting the entire sky ablaze.

“Sea God…and those gods who tacitly approved of everything…you will not escape either.”

The shadow of the Deep Sea Demon Emperor, like the deepest nightmare, shrouded the entire Douluo world.

The prelude to the revenge from the ocean has begun.

Just as the entire continent was shrouded in the deep-sea terror brought by the Demon Emperor, and people along the coast were filled with panic and fleeing inland—

The weather has changed again.

This transformation did not begin with the icy cold of the far north, nor did it originate from the darkness of the deep sea, but rather came from... something in between.

Just as the deep blue-to-black vortex caused by the Demon Emperor's ascension to the list had not yet completely dissipated in the sky, a completely opposite light tore through the suffocating darkness!

"Om-"

It was not the roar of the sea being pushed apart, nor the shriek of space being torn apart, but a clear, magnificent, and holy hum that seemed to be the prayer of millions of believers at the same time!

The sound came from the depths of the sky, piercing through layers of dark clouds and the remaining devouring power of the Demon Emperor. Like a clear spring penetrating filthy mud, it instantly washed away the despair and panic that permeated the continent.

In the eastern part of the continent, about three thousand miles from the coastline, over the high seas, the sky was slowly torn open by a pair of invisible giant hands. It wasn't a dark vortex, but a colossal pillar of light, also over a hundred miles in diameter, yet flowing with a warm and sacred golden radiance, descending from the endless distance!
Inside the pillar of light, countless tiny, pale golden runes could be faintly seen flowing like swimming fish. Each rune exuded the pure, vast, and all-encompassing aura of the ocean, yet it possessed a supreme majesty and divinity that surpassed ordinary seawater.

The beam of light didn't fall on the sea surface, but rather—

A giant ocean-going ship is sailing through the waves!

The ship was constructed entirely of dark hardwood and some metal, and was about eighty meters long. Its hull had smooth and beautiful lines, three towering mainmasts, and white sails that were billowing, with an intricate golden trident emblem embroidered on the sails.

At this moment, the ship is sailing along a relatively safe route from somewhere overseas towards the Douluo Continent.

The golden beam of light precisely enveloped the entire ship, yet it caused no damage. Instead, it made the ship appear as if it were cast in gold, with every detail shining.

On the ship, the people who were originally tense and fearful due to the strange celestial phenomena and the Demon Emperor's inclusion on the list were all stunned at this moment.

Bathed in that warm and sacred golden light, they felt all their fatigue vanish, their inner fears were slowly soothed, and their soul power flowed exceptionally smoothly, even touching the bottlenecks that had not loosened for a long time.

On the bow deck, a figure slowly opened his eyes, which had been closed for a long time.

She was a woman who looked to be no more than twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, but she had long, deep blue hair that reached her waist and swayed gently in the wind, with faint golden glints at the ends.

Her beauty was unparalleled, not the eerie and cold beauty of the Demon Emperor, nor the noble and majestic beauty of the Ice Emperor, but a kind of holy, graceful, and perfect beauty that seemed to embody the vastness and tenderness of the ocean.

Her skin was like jade, and it appeared even more translucent under the golden light.

Her eyebrows and eyes were like a painting, and her deep blue eyes were as deep as the sea. The depths of her pupils seemed to reflect the ebb and flow of tides and the movement of stars. Her calmness contained an indescribable wisdom and vicissitudes.

She wore a simple white dress with pale gold wave patterns embroidered on the hem, her understated yet extraordinary temperament undeniable.

She stood quietly at the bow of the ship, as if she had become one with the ship beneath her feet, the golden light around her, and even the entire ocean.

She is Poseidon, the High Priestess of Poseidon Island, the Poseidon's representative on earth, and a level 100 Quasi-God!

He is also the successor of the Sea God.

At this moment, a slight ripple appeared in her originally calm eyes. She looked up at the golden pillar of light that enveloped the sky and earth, and a hint of understanding, a hint of solemnity, and a hint of... a fateful sigh flashed in her eyes.

"Finally... is it my turn?" Her voice was soft and melodious, like a sea breeze brushing against seashells or the tide gently caressing the beach, carrying a unique and comforting power.

Her departure from Poseidon Island and her secret journey to the mainland were intended to address the recent anomalies in the world, especially the unusual restlessness of the Deep Sea Demon Whale clan and the potential crises brought about by the successive appearances of the mysterious "Goddess Ranking".

She was commanded by the sea god to observe in secret, guide the continental forces when necessary, maintain the balance between the ocean and the land, and protect the sea god's faith.

Unexpectedly, midway through the voyage, she herself became one of those people on the "Goddess List".

"Goddess Ranking... Just who are you? What is your purpose?" Poseidon pondered silently, but her expression remained calm and composed.
