Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Just one day later, Yang Ping'an returned to Poseidon Island. Because Yang Ping'an possessed the highest level of authority on Poseidon Island, he was able to move freely throughout the entire island.

The island's guard seemed quite surprised by Yang Ping'an's arrival: "My lord, is there anything you need to take care of on Seagod Island?"

Yang Ping'an smiled slightly: "Where is the Grand Elder? I want to see him."

The deacon returned just a few minutes later to report: "My lord, the High Priest is in the Temple of the Sea God and requests your presence there."

Yang Ping'an nodded slightly, then stepped towards the Sea God Temple. After all, this was Sea God Island, the place where the Sea God's legacy was passed down, and it deserved a certain level of respect.

After crossing the steps of the Sea God's Light, Yang Ping'an arrived at the Sea God's Temple for the second time. Unexpectedly, apart from the Sea God Douluo Poseidon, all seven elders were present, and they all seemed to be on high alert.

Yang Ping'an bowed slightly: "Greetings to Senior Sea God Douluo, and greetings to the seven Holy Pillars."

Poseidon's face seemed unusually serious: "Yang Ping'an, what are you doing back on Poseidon Island again?"

Yang Ping'an said solemnly, "I admire the strength of the Sea God Douluo and have come here specifically to challenge him. Please grant my request, senior."

The Seven Sacred Pillars, led by Sea Dragon Douluo, were also in an uproar upon hearing this. They knew that apart from Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu back then, no one had dared to challenge Sea God Douluo for sixty or seventy years.

Poseidon remained calm: "What exactly gives you your confidence? Do you think that reaching the Limit Douluo level means you can defeat me, or that you're invincible and can do whatever you want?"

Yang Ping'an's face showed a hint of surprise: "What do you mean by that, senior? I was just having a normal exchange between soul masters. Does the Grand Elder not fear a challenge?"

Poseidon scoffed coldly, "I heard you killed Tang Hao, Tang Lie of the Clear Sky Sect, and even killed Titan and Bai He from the four single-attribute families, and seriously injured Yang Wudi and Niu Gao. What is this if not reckless and unrestrained behavior?"

Yang Ping'an's face turned cold: "Senior, you're wrong. It's only right and proper for me to seek revenge on Tang Hao for killing my father. No one in the world has the right to criticize me. As for Tang Lie and Titan wanting to kill me, am I just supposed to let them slaughter me without even being allowed to fight back?"

Poseidon said, "With your current strength, you are clearly far stronger than Tang Lie and the others. You can't let them go this time. Otherwise, your hatred for the Haotian Sect will only deepen."

Yang Ping'an snorted coldly: "I don't have the habit of letting my enemies go. If those people from Haotian Sect don't come looking for me, I won't bother to cause them any trouble. But if they dare to come looking for me, they'd better be prepared to die."

"It seems you've been living on Seagod Island for quite some time, and your information network is surprisingly extensive. Are you more concerned about the Clear Sky Sect or about Tang Chen?"

Poseidon's expression immediately changed: "What do you mean by that? I just don't want you to get deeper and deeper into hatred. After all, you are also a holder of the red-level authority of my Seagod Island. I don't want to provoke a great enemy like the Clear Sky Sect for the sake of Seagod Island. Besides, Tang San is also one of the successors of the Grand Elder of Seagod Island."

Yang Ping'an said, "Seagod Island is protected by the Seagod, and it is not even afraid of the Spirit Hall. Why would it be afraid of provoking the mere Clear Sky Sect? As for whether my actions were wrong, even the Seagod himself has not said anything, so there is no need for the High Priest to worry about it."

Seeing that Poseidon's expression seemed rather unpleasant, Yang Ping'an remained silent for a while before continuing, "Senior, I came to Seagod Island this time to challenge you. I hope you will grant my request, and I also hope that the Seagod himself will grant my request."

As Yang Ping'an finished speaking, there was no reaction from the entire Sea God Temple. Either the Sea God was not paying attention to the Sea God Island, or he tacitly agreed.

Poseidon remained silent for a while before speaking: "Very well, since you consider yourself strong, I'd like to see what kind of strength this newly promoted Limit Douluo really has. However, if you lose, I'm afraid you'll have to stay on Seagod Island for the rest of the time."

Yang Ping'an's face turned cold: "I am a user of the red-level access to Seagod Island. It's not enough for the High Priest to decide whether I can stay on Seagod Island. It still requires the Seagod himself to make the decision. Besides, the High Priest hasn't made a move in so many years. It's time to let everyone see your strength."

"Alright, it's not convenient for the two of us to fight here, so let's fight at sea." As Poseidon's words fell, she flew off towards the sea like a blue shadow.

Yang Ping'an also transformed into a beam of light and flew towards the outside of Seagod Island. The Seven Sacred Pillars followed the two of them, clearly worried about their future situation.

The two arrived at the battle arena quickly, one after the other. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the Raging Tide Forbidden Zone where Yang Ping'an had practiced his Tide Body Refinement. This place was indeed suitable for top experts to fight.

Yang Ping'an and Poseidon stood facing each other hundreds of meters apart, and the aura they exuded made the sky seem to be divided into two halves, one gold and one blue.

Yang Ping'an spoke first: "Yang Ping'an, Martial Soul Golden Dragon, Second Martial Soul Body, Ninety-Nine Limit Douluo, Please give me your guidance, Senior."

After he finished speaking, a huge golden dragon flew out from Yang Ping'an's body. The huge dragon roar seemed to change the color of the sky and earth, and at the same time, it displayed five black and four red soul rings.

Poseidon seemed to completely disregard the Golden Dragon's strength: "Poseidon, titled Sea God, Martial Soul Sea God, Level 99 Limit Douluo."

Poseidon also displayed eight black and one red spirit rings, and a huge blue figure appeared behind her, which was the Sea God Martial Soul.

Yang Ping'an made the first move, and a huge golden dragon descended from the sky, its claw seemingly about to tear the heavens apart.

Poseidon seemed unusually calm. With a light tap of his right hand, the phantom of the sea god behind him seemed to strike from afar, instantly creating countless huge waves that swept across the area, as if to engulf the entire massive body of the golden dragon.

The golden dragon let out a deafening roar, its body colliding with the waves, forcing it back hundreds of meters, while the waves seemed to be torn apart by its sharp claws.

Yang Ping'an was immediately surprised. Poseidon's attack looked very simple, but it was probably not only her own power, but also the power of the sea. She was indeed the High Priestess of the Sea God.

However, Yang Ping'an snorted coldly, knowing that this battle was not so simple. Poseidon might be much stronger than he had imagined, and might even be invincible in the sea, just as described in the original work, with only a level 100 expert able to defeat him.

Yang Ping'an instantly transformed into a dragon, his entire body covered in thick golden armor, his limbs becoming a full circle thicker, and his five fingers like sharp claws, grabbing at Poseidon like a golden light.

Facing Yang Ping'an's full-force grab, Poseidon's face remained expressionless, seemingly filled with contempt: "Dragon transformation, indeed, you've brought the power of the beast soul to its extreme."

As Poseidon finished speaking, she pointed her scepter at Yang Ping'an, seemingly possessing boundless power. The dragon claw and the scepter collided instantly, and Yang Ping'an was forced back several meters. Poseidon trembled, seemingly surprised by the strength of Yang Ping'an's power.

Yang Ping also smiled. Although he had reached the level of Limit Douluo at level 99 and even obtained a full set of high-level soul bones, he was still somewhat inferior to veteran Title Douluo like Poseidon in all aspects. After all, Poseidon had already been a Limit Douluo sixty or seventy years ago. In particular, as the High Priest of the Sea God, she could cultivate in the Sea God's Temple for a long time and had basically reached the limit of human soul masters.

"This is more interesting; otherwise, fighting would be too boring."

As soon as Yang Ping finished speaking, he transformed into a golden figure again, this time unleashing the full power of his true form. The space itself seemed to have been shattered by the golden light.

But Poseidon's expression remained unchanged as she gripped her scepter and continuously parried Yang Ping'an's attacks, holding her own and even gaining a slight advantage.

Surprisingly, Poseidon was able to multitask, defending against Yang Ping'an's attacks on one hand and using countless waves to block the golden dragon's attacks on the other.

Yang Ping'an smiled slightly. It seemed that he had indeed underestimated the Limit Douluo, thinking that he could contend with Poseidon with his physical strength alone.

Yang Ping'an's eighth spirit ring flashed, and a golden longsword appeared in his hand. This was his eighth spirit skill, the Golden Dragon Sword.

Then, Yang Ping'an gently slashed with the Golden Dragon Sword, and a golden sword aura shot into the sky. Even though Poseidon blocked Yang Ping'an's attack with her scepter, the countless waves behind her seemed to be split in two.

Poseidon then showed a hint of emotion: "Interesting. I didn't expect that someone with a beast spirit like you would have such a deep understanding of weapon spirits. It seems I underestimated you."

Yang Ping'an couldn't help but burst into laughter: "You underestimate me in many ways. I want to see just how strong your Sea God Martial Soul really is."

As Yang Ping'an finished speaking, the Golden Dragon Sword seemed to come alive in his hands, instantly unleashing countless sword energies. Even with Poseidon's strength, she could feel the sharpness and killing intent within the sword energies, and even sensed a hint of danger.

In particular, Yang Ping'an's Golden Dragon Sword was frighteningly heavy; even a simple attack seemed to possess boundless power.

Poseidon truly lived up to his reputation as a veteran Limit Douluo. His body and martial soul had completely merged into one, making him seem like a sea god before ascension, especially since his soul power seemed to be limitless in the ocean.

However, Yang Ping'an didn't care. The two soul cores in his body were spinning rapidly, and the consumed soul power was being restored at an extremely fast speed, as if it were endless.

The two sides seemed to be fighting so fiercely that the world changed color, with countless waves of seawater being scattered and then quickly restored.

After several tens of minutes, neither side showed any signs of exhaustion or injury; on the contrary, they seemed to grow stronger with each battle.

Poseidon suddenly spoke up: "Have you made enough of a scene? If this is all the strength you've got, then you might as well stay on Poseidon Island for the rest of your life."

As Poseidon's words fell, the entire phantom of the sea god seemed to merge with the sea, and a blue light illuminated the heavens and the earth, which was her sea god domain.

Within the Sea God's Domain, Yang Ping'an felt his strength was suppressed, and even his soul power seemed to be dissipated. On the other hand, Poseidon seemed to be more at ease in the Sea God's Domain, and her strength seemed to have increased significantly, making her incredibly powerful.

"The realm of the Sea God? This is more interesting; otherwise, it wouldn't be worthy of being called the Sea God's domain."

A white light emanated from Yang Ping'an's body, making his entire body appear as a blood-red figure, which was also the Killing God Domain. At the same time, endless golden light also emanated from Yang Ping'an's body, and the blue light that originally illuminated the world seemed to be gradually devoured. This was his Golden Dragon Domain, which possessed the powerful dragon force and devouring characteristics of a golden dragon.

As Yang Ping'an unleashed his two domains, the entire sky was instantly split in two, as if the whole world had been cleaved apart. The sea, in particular, seemed to be dyed in two colors.

The Sea God Domain truly lives up to its reputation as a god-level domain. Even though Yang Ping'an possesses multiple domains, he cannot completely suppress it. In particular, the Sea God Domain seems to be able to encompass everything, and even the Golden Dragon Domain and the God of Slaughter Domain are showing signs of being neutralized.
