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

Chapter 61 Poseidon’s Divine Sense
"Heaven is on my side! Today I will raze this wretched island to the ground and avenge the humiliation of that day!"

It suddenly opened its mouth, and a black beam of light containing a destructive aura shot out, striking the golden barrier of Seagod Island like the breath of a deep-sea dragon.

This barrier originally required Poseidon's divine power core to activate, but now it was only supported by the soul power of the Seven Gods. In the face of the pseudo-god-level attack, it trembled instantly, and countless cracks spread like a spider web, causing the brightness of the light screen to drop sharply.

"Oh no! It's the Deep Sea Demon Whale King!"

Seahorse Douluo gazed at the colossal body that blotted out the sky in the distance, his voice trembling.

"With His Highness the High Priest absent, we simply cannot hold out!"

The seven divine beings ascended into the sky simultaneously, their soul power continuously flowing into the barrier. The power of the seven titled Douluo intertwined to form a golden light net, barely stabilizing the crumbling defense.

But the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's attacks came one after another. With its giant tail sweeping across, the tsunami crashed against the barrier like a city wall. Each impact caused the Seven Gods' blood to surge and blood to spill from the corners of their mouths.

"Little White! Quickly bring your tribe to support us!"

Starfish Douluo roared as he looked out over the sea. Little White, the king of the Demon Soul Great White Shark, had already led his clan in a state of high alert. His silver-white body streaked across the seawater, creating streaks of lightning as he crashed into the giant body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

"The ants shake the tree!"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King scoffed disdainfully, and with a sudden flick of its tail fin, the immense force sent dozens of Demon Soul Great White Sharks flying. Little White was so shocked that its meridians were shattered, and it spat out a mouthful of blood and fell into the sea.

Its deep-sea naval legion seized the opportunity to launch an attack. A giant octopus, tens of thousands of meters long, danced with its tentacles and wrapped around the barrier. A group of hammerhead sharks frantically devoured the energy of the light curtain. Even a deep-sea demon shark that had existed for tens of thousands of years broke through the barrier and rampaged into the island.

"Form the Great Sea God Formation! Defend Sea God Mountain to the death!"

Holding the Dragon Gallant Spear, the Sea Dragon Douluo's soul power surged, and the Seven Divine Sons quickly formed a magic array, with the phantom of the Sea God appearing in the center.

However, without Poseidon's divine power to guide it, this phantom was extremely weak and could barely withstand the direct impact of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King sensed the weakening of the barrier, and its killing intent intensified.

It suddenly swooped down, its huge mouth opening to reveal sharp fangs, and bit down hard at the weakest point of the barrier.

With a crisp "crack", the golden barrier shattered, and countless fragments of light dissipated into the air. The Seven Gods were thrown away by the energy shockwave and crashed heavily to the ground, their soul power completely disordered.

"Tear them apart!"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King issued a command, and deep-sea soul beasts surged into Seagod Island like a tidal wave. The soul masters and low-level sea soul beasts on the island were no match for them.

Screams and explosions echoed everywhere. The vegetation on Poseidon Mountain was submerged by the tsunami, and the sacred temple was on the verge of collapse.

Little White struggled to rise from the sea, looking at the devastated island with despair in its eyes.

"Could it be... that Poseidon Island is really doomed?"

Just then, a faint golden light suddenly burst forth from the Sea God Shrine deep within Sea God Mountain, and a jade pendant containing pure divinity floated into the air.

That was a relic of the sea god left behind by Poseidon before she left the island, carrying a trace of the sea god's original power.

The golden light covered a small area, but it instantly halted the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's movements, and a hint of fear flashed in its eyes.

"The aura of the sea god... is nothing but scraps!"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King quickly realized what was happening and roared as it charged toward the Sea God Shrine, trying to completely erase this last trace of divinity.

Seeing this, the Seven Gods' eyes ignited with a last glimmer of hope. They helped each other to their feet and, with their last ounce of soul power, charged towards the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. "Even if we are shattered to pieces, we will defend the Sea God's Shrine!"

A fierce battle with overwhelming odds unfolded on the unclaimed Poseidon Island.

Golden divine light clashed with the raging black waves of the deep sea. The weak guardians defended the dignity of the divine island with their lives, while the colossal body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had already enveloped the entire sky above Seagod Mountain.

The golden light of Poseidon Island trembled violently beneath the giant maw of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and the surface of the jade pendant was covered with cracks, indicating that the wisp of Poseidon's essence had reached its limit.

The seven sons of the gods had long since exhausted their soul power, and their bodies swayed precariously under the pressure, yet they still stood firmly in front of the shrine, blood dripping from the hem of their clothes, staining the sacred stone beneath their feet red.

"Unbelievable!"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King roared, its giant tail sweeping across with earth-shattering power, tearing the air apart and sending the Seven Divine Sons flying once more.

The group crashed heavily into the stone pillar of the Sea God Temple, causing the pillar to break with a loud bang and filling the air with dust.

Just as the giant tail was about to smash into the jade pendant, the sea suddenly calmed down, the raging tsunami subsided abruptly, and even the energy around the Deep Sea Demon Whale King froze in mid-air.

A gentle yet supremely majestic golden light rose from the depths of the sea, pierced through the clouds, and enveloped the entire Poseidon Island.

Amidst the golden light, a blurry figure slowly emerged, clad in azure divine robes, wielding a trident, surrounded by endless seawater, each breath stirring the water-based energy of heaven and earth.

The divine pressure far surpassed the pseudo-divine power of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, causing its massive body to tremble uncontrollably, its eyes filled with horror.

"It's you... Poseidon!"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King roared, its voice filled with unbelievable fear. The excruciating pain from being pierced by the trident seemed to return, and its very soul trembled.

"Deep Sea Demon Whale, you bully the weak, trample on my sacred island, and harm my believers. Do you know your sins?"

The sea god spoke in his mind, his voice not loud, yet it resounded throughout every corner of the deep sea and the continent.

The seawater surged according to his will, forming countless water dragons that entangled all the deep-sea soul beasts that had invaded the divine island, rendering them unable to move.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King attempted to mobilize its 120 million years of cultivation to resist, its dark blue energy surging wildly, but under the pressure of the Sea God's divine will, it was like a mud ox sinking into the sea, unable even to get close to the golden light surrounding the opponent.

It suddenly opened its mouth and spewed out a black beam of destructive light, but the sea god waved his hand and the beam of light instantly dissipated. The force of the recoil caused black blood to spill from the corner of its mouth, and the scar on its left eye socket burst open again.

"Impossible! You are merely a divine thought, how could you possess such power!"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King roared madly, its massive body twisting and turning as it tried to escape, only to find that the space around it had already been sealed off by seawater, and no matter how hard it struggled, it could not break free.

It then realized that the Sea God had spared its life not because of its lack of strength, but because he simply didn't take it seriously.

"Considering the difficulty of your cultivation, I will spare your life today. Go back to the deep sea. If you set foot on the divine island again, I will surely take your life."

The Sea God spoke coldly, raising his hand and pressing down. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was forced back to the surface by a tremendous force, its massive body plunging into the deep sea and creating huge waves. Upon seeing this, the surrounding Deep Sea Fleet fled in panic.

As the golden light gradually faded, the Sea God's divine sense looked at the jade pendant in the Sea God Temple. With a light tap of his fingertip, he injected divine power into it, and the jade pendant instantly regained its luster, floating atop the temple once more, emitting a soft golden light to protect the sacred island.

After doing all this, the figure of the Sea God's divine will gradually faded and finally dissipated in the sea breeze, leaving only a lingering echo.

"When my successor returns, the divine island will once again shine upon the continent."
