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

Chapter 119: Light of Purification

As the High Priestess of the Sea God, her will had long been tempered to be as calm as the deep sea and as firm as a reef.

The golden pillar of light grew ever brighter, and the runes within it began to converge and combine, coalescing into a massive list in the air in front of the ship, its borders woven from golden waves and sacred trident patterns.

The text on the list, in the same way that directly imprints consciousness, is presented to all living beings who look up at the sky:

[Rank 12 on the Goddess List: Poseidon]

[Identity: High Priest of Poseidon Island, Poseidon's Human Spokesperson]

[Cultivation Level: Level 100 Quasi-God]

[Faith: Sea God]

[Territory: Poseidon Island, Endless Ocean (Ruled on behalf of the Poseidon)]

[Evaluation: A devout servant and protector of the sea god, a guardian of the ocean's order.]

[Blessed by the power of the Sea God, he can invoke a portion of the ocean's authority within the Sea God Island, making him comparable in strength to a demigod.]

[Gentle yet resolute in nature, compassionate in heart, she takes it upon herself to safeguard the peace of the ocean and balance the relationship between the continent and the sea.]

Their faith in the sea god was unwavering, their will as steadfast as a rock in the deep sea.

[They have a historical grudge against the deep-sea demon whale clan and bear the responsibility of restraining and guiding them.]

[Reward 1: Extreme increase in affinity with the Sea God, profound baptism of bloodline and soul, evolving into a 'near-godlike body'.]

[His body is semi-energetic, resonating with the ocean elements and the power of the sea god to an unprecedented degree, allowing him to draw upon the power of the surrounding sea for support at any time.]

[Greatly enhanced vitality and resilience, making them virtually immortal in marine environments.]

[Blessed with the permanent blessing of 'Sea God,' possessing a natural suppressive and purifying effect on all dark, evil, and devouring forces.]

[Reward 2: Obtain 'Poseidon's Domain - Modified - Boundless Ocean'.]

[The normal coverage radius is one hundred miles, and it can be extended to five hundred miles when fully unleashed! Within the domain, the concentration of marine elements soars, the power of all water-attribute soul skills increases dramatically, and non-water-attribute soul skills are suppressed to varying degrees.]

[This domain possesses a built-in 'Divine Purification' effect, which can slowly dispel and purify all negative energy, curses, resentment, and dark corruption within its boundaries.]

[Can summon the 'Phantom of the Sea God' to descend, drawing upon the Sea God's divine power for a judgment attack; can condense 'Endless Tides' for an all-around impact and pressure; can deploy the 'Sea God's Protection' barrier, possessing astonishing defensive power.]

[Poseidon's ultimate ability, 'Descent of the Sea God,' allows for a brief influx of purer sea god power into Poseidon, granting her near-third-tier divine power and authority for a short period. However, this consumes a great deal of energy and has a limited duration.]

[Reward 3: Obtain a fragment of 'Heart of the Sea God' (already fused).]

This is a tiny fragment of the core authority of the Sea God's divine position, containing the most primordial laws of the ocean and the divinity of the Sea God.

After the fusion, Poseidon's ability to comprehend the laws of the ocean increased a thousandfold, allowing him to gain a preliminary understanding of some of the underlying rules governing the ocean's operation.

[His spiritual power has transformed into 'Sea God's Consciousness,' surpassing the strength of ordinary demigods. It possesses powerful divinity and assimilative power, capable of soothing the emotions of living beings, purifying evil souls, and communicating with the will of the ocean.]

[Gaining the talent 'Eye of Poseidon' allows one to see through illusions, perceive the essence of energy, trace causal relationships, and instinctively sense and restrain darkness, evil, and beings with devouring attributes.]

[A closer connection with the Sea God's divine position has been established, granting partial access to the Sea God's power of faith. One can enhance their own or their domain's power through the prayers of believers.] Silence.

This silence is completely different from the deathly silence that followed when Hyotei and the Demon Emperor were listed.

It was a complex silence, a mixture of shock, bewilderment, and confusion, which ultimately turned into a faint glimmer of hope.

All the forces on the continent, all those who looked up at the sky, whether they were Soul Masters or commoners, whether they were high-ranking Title Douluos or ordinary people struggling to survive, all gaped and stared intently at the golden list and the peerless figure bathed in holy light at the bow of the ship below the list.

Poseidon? High Priestess of Poseidon Island? Spokesperson for the Sea God?
Increased affinity with Poseidon? Near-divine body? Poseidon's domain? Fragment of Poseidon's heart?

And... is there a historical grudge between them and the Deep Sea Demon Whale clan? Are they tasked with restraining and guiding them?
Each message, like a thunderclap, exploded in everyone's minds, yet brought a completely different kind of impact!

If Hyotei's inclusion on the list brought awe and alienation, and the Demon Emperor's inclusion brought fear and despair, then Poseidon's inclusion on the list brought... a glimmer of hope? A ray of dawn?
"Poseidon Island! It's the High Priest of Poseidon Island!"

"Poseidon! The legendary spokesperson for the sea god! She's on the list too!" "Five hundred miles of the sea god's domain! Divine purification! The sea god descends!"

"A fragment of the Heart of the Sea God! She can restrain the Deep Sea Demon Whale?!"

"She's on a ship! She's on her way to the mainland?!"

After a brief silence, the entire continent, especially the coastal powers on the verge of collapse, erupted in unprecedented excitement and uproar!

"We're saved! The sea god hasn't abandoned us! He's sent his high priest!"

"Lord Poseidon! Please save us! Save the millions of people along the coast!"

"The Sea God's Domain can purify darkness and resentment! It can restrain the Demon Emperor's devouring power!"

"Quickly! Find out the ship's location! Send a delegation! No! I'll go personally to meet it!"

Countless people in coastal cities knelt down, worshipping the golden pillar of light and the figure of the ship's prow in the sky, tears streaming down their faces, as if they had seen a savior descend.

The kingdom's monarchs, nobles, and generals, who were originally filled with fear and despair, now had their hopes rekindled. They frantically issued orders, mobilized all resources, and prepared to welcome the sea god's messenger with the highest honors.

Wuhun City, the Pope's Palace.

Bibi Dong suddenly stood up from her throne, her purple eyes flashing with an unprecedented light, a mixture of shock, vigilance, and a complex emotion that was hard to describe.

"Poseidon...the High Priestess of Poseidon Island...she actually left Poseidon Island and came to the mainland? And she's on the list at this time?"

Ghost Douluo's figure appeared, his voice filled with disbelief: "Your Majesty, the celestial display shows that her ship is less than three thousand miles from the mainland coast. At its current speed, it will reach the eastern coast in two days at most!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo exclaimed excitedly, "Your Majesty! This is a golden opportunity! Lady Poseidon possesses the power to restrain the Demon Emperor! If we can win her support, or at least get her on the side of humanity, there is hope of resolving the coastal crisis!"

Bibi Dong slowly sat back down, her fingers lightly tapping the armrest, her eyes deep and thoughtful.

“Poseidon…the spokesperson for the sea god…her stance has never been simply a human stance, but a stance of the ocean, a stance of the sea god.”

"She protects the order of the ocean and balances the relationship between the sea and the land. The Demon Emperor's rampage endangers the peace of the ocean and threatens the foundation of the sea god's faith, so she will naturally take action to restrain him."
