In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Chapter 298 God!

Ten days later, Tang San returned to Seagod Island.

They rushed to Poseidon Mountain to report their safety to Poseidon, and then went to the bay where the Great White Shark of the Demon Soul lived.

"Little White!" He stood on the shore and shouted towards the bay.

Not long after, the sea surface churned, and Little White's enormous body emerged.

"Xiao Bai, I'd like to ask you for help in obtaining a spirit ring," Tang San said. "As you know, I'm all alone. The eighth trial issued by the Sea God didn't stipulate that I had to complete the spirit rings on my own, and my great-grandfather isn't here, so you were the first person I thought of."

"After all, you are familiar enough with the surrounding waters."

"I see." Xiaobai pondered for a moment, then nodded. "Since you helped my clan wipe out the demonic orca horde, I'll help you with this."

"Perfect timing. There's a guy I dislike in the surrounding waters, but I don't know if he's the one you're looking for."

"That was an 80,000-year-old bluefin swordfish that once pierced the body of one of my young tribesmen with its sword-like jaws while fighting for food."

"Bluefin Golden Swordfish!" Tang San's eyes lit up immediately, and he quickly said, "Little White, that's it."

Having spent so much time on Seagod Island, he hadn't been idle in learning about the sea spirit beasts. The Bluefin Golden Swordfish could be considered one of the top species among swordfish, and also one of the fastest swimming sea spirit beasts in the ocean, possessing both speed and strength.

Its incredible strength stems from its long periods of rapid underwater swimming, which forged a powerful physique. Without a robust body, maintaining high-speed swimming despite the resistance of seawater would be impossible.

The saying "To forge iron, one must be strong oneself" is absolutely true.

"Then I'll get ready, and we'll meet up and set off again tomorrow morning," Xiaobai said.

"Okay." Tang San smiled and nodded, then turned and returned to his residence.

The following morning, we returned to the bay, climbed onto the back of the little white dog, and swam with the herd into the deep sea.

According to Xiaobai, that bluefin swordfish is incredibly fast, so they need to call on more members of their tribe to hunt it down to ensure success.

After two days of protests, Xiaobai finally stopped and sneered, "Let's see where you run this time."

"Men, surround them!"

Upon receiving the order, the surrounding tribesmen immediately dispersed and opened up the encirclement.

Xiao Bai then explained, "This guy is incredibly slippery. Ever since he severely injured my people last time, he's been hiding, which means he understands he's offended me. Since then, he's been avoiding my hunting season. If it weren't for the abundance of food in this sea area, he probably would have already run away. Hmph, so what if he's fast? His mental strength is far inferior to mine, and he still got found."

"This guy severely injured one of my people, leaving him with irreparable internal injuries, but he didn't die. Plus, he was too slippery and deliberately avoided me, so I originally considered letting him go. But now that you need him, it's time to take revenge."

It seems Xiao Bai holds grudges quite a bit. Tang San smiled helplessly, then said, "Xiao Bai, thanks."

"No problem!" Xiaobai nodded slightly. "It's good to make an example of them, so that no other sea spirit beasts will dare to provoke our clan again."

Tang San nodded slightly and said no more.

Before long, a slight mental fluctuation was felt in the air, and Xiaobai immediately began to swim quickly.

"Puff puff." Tang San gripped the dorsal fin tightly, riding the wind and waves.

After a while, Xiao Bai's voice suddenly came, "That guy swam towards the deep sea, Tang San, you wait here."

Tang San immediately spread his four wings and flew into the sky, watching as Xiao Bai sank into the water.

About an hour later, with a splash, a huge swordfish was pushed out of the water, a large section of its sword-like jaw broken off.

It was clearly broken as revenge by Xiaobai.

"Tang San, let's do it," Xiao Bai said as she swam to the side.

The law of nature dictates that the strong prey on the weak and only the fittest survive. Tang San showed no mercy. With a swift movement of his right hand, he summoned the Clear Sky Hammer and smashed it into the Bluefin Golden Swordfish's eye socket. The Bluefin Golden Swordfish, already severely injured and exhausted, simply sank to its death.

A jet-black spirit ring floated out.

No soul bones dropped again. A glance with his spiritual power revealed a hint of helplessness in Tang San's eyes. He truly felt that he had been having a run of bad luck lately. He had hunted many high-level soul beasts without getting a single soul bone, and then encountered a powerful enemy in the Star Dou Great Forest. All sorts of misfortunes had befallen him.

He shook his head, sat on the side of the blue-finned golden swordfish floating on the water, closed his eyes and began to absorb the soul ring.

As the energy enters the body, a swelling sensation is felt quickly, but it is not intense.

"It seems I can't absorb any more spirit rings." He sighed helplessly and focused on absorbing energy.

Several hours later, the absorption was completed without any major incident.

"Soul power level 89, an increase of a little over 1 level, not bad."

His soul power was originally only a hair's breadth away from level 88. Now, after absorbing an 8-year-old top-tier sea soul beast soul ring, he broke through from almost level 88 to level 89 in one fell swoop. In his opinion, this was a perfectly normal thing.

After all, he's only a Contra player right now.

"Go back and cultivate step by step first. We'll consider absorbing a spirit ring after we've adapted for a while."

Thinking this, she opened her eyes and said, "Little White, my body is saturated. We can go back now."

"Okay." Xiaobai nodded and tucked Tang San onto the return journey.

As for the carcass of the bluefin swordfish, it was dragged behind by the tribesmen and taken back to their territory as food.

Tang San cultivating by devouring life forms? That can't be true, right? Glancing at the corpse, Xiao Bai couldn't help but think that Long Yingtian had been lying. She hadn't seen Tang San devour corpses to cultivate when they killed so many demonic orcas together before, and it was the same this time hunting the Bluefin Golden Swordfish.

In addition, Tang San has been working very hard in his daily cultivation during his long stay on Seagod Island.

"They're definitely trying to smear Tang San!" Thinking this, he sped up his swimming.

Two days later, upon returning to his territory, Tang San bid farewell to Xiao Bai and returned to his residence to begin a new round of cultivation.

Six days later, in the misty area of ​​the Starry Sky Forest.

"Almost there." Zhu Wu opened his eyes. After two and a half months of adjustment, he had fully adapted.

It's much faster than I expected. Lost in thought, I turned and gently called out to the girls, who had woken up, "We should leave now."

"Okay." The women stood up and let Zhu Wu escort them back to the Dragon Realm.

Not long after, Zhu Wu found Di Tian. "Di Tian, ​​to avoid being detected by the God Realm, I'm going to Dragon Valley to fuse my soul ring. I taught Tang San a lesson in the core area when he came here to hunt soul beasts. He might come back again, and he might even bring Tang Chen with him."

"Just in case, you should all enter my little world."

Then, turning to look at Brigitte, he said, "Bring along the people who should be included."

"Okay." Di Tian and Bi Ji both nodded.

Therefore, Di Tian went to summon several ferocious beasts, Bi Ji, and the released Demon King to inform their clansmen.

Several hours later, Zhu Wu transferred all the ferocious beasts and their clansmen from the Misty Zone to the Dragon Realm before setting off.

Instead of heading directly to the continent where Dragon Valley is located, they first detoured to Seagod Island, arriving in just two days.

They found Tang San immediately afterward.

"Soul power level 89, looks like he's already saturated with soul rings. Tang Chen is still nowhere to be seen, could he have already gone to participate in the ninth trial?"

After a moment's hesitation, he turned and flew towards Dragon Valley.

The journey was smooth sailing, and in just a few days, I arrived at the familiar summit of the snow-capped mountain. With a swipe of my finger, I opened a spatial portal and slipped inside.

Looking around, he saw that there were still many elemental clouds in the air, though not as dense as before, but still abundant in quantity. This was another reason why he decided to come here to attempt to reach level 100. These elemental energies could be used as a backup replenishment if necessary.

Without the slightest delay, they flew straight to the core location where they had first encountered the Dragon God's divine sense.

Before long, they arrived inside the pit, found a flat spot to sit down, closed their eyes to regulate their breathing, and adjusted their condition to its best.

Several hours later, with a thought, nine million-year soul rings appeared beneath his feet, pulsating.

"Disperse!" With Zhu Wu's soft shout, the first spirit ring reacted first, releasing a silk-like, misty aura that flew towards the upper body and disappeared into the skin the instant it touched it.

First came the skin, then the flesh and bones. As the immense energy seeped in, it also continuously washed over every inch of his body. Zhu Wu could clearly sense his physical strength slowly increasing. At the same time, a peculiar energy, drawn by his spiritual power, arrived at his middle dantian's Qi and Blood Soul Core. This was the information of the abilities inherited from the soul beast within his soul ring, and he decided to imprint it onto the Qi and Blood Soul Core.

Let these abilities become his innate talents!

"Splash!"

The energy flowing into the body is ultimately transformed into soul power by the martial soul, which flows rapidly through the meridians like a rushing river. As the physical body's strength increases, it propels cultivation to higher levels. One cycle, two cycles, and with each cycle circulating within the meridians, the energy diminishes slightly.

The physical body continuously strengthens during this process, as does cultivation level. Under the control of divine sense, the two maintain a certain balance and progress in tandem.

After an unknown amount of time, the energy of the first soul ring was about to be exhausted, and it seemed to be about to dissipate.

With a sudden "hum," the surrounding air vibrated, and the second soul ring emitted energy as smooth as silk and mist before disappearing into Zhu Wu's body.

In the blink of an eye, the first spirit ring completely disappeared.

Time flew by, and before anyone knew how much time had passed, the second spirit ring disappeared.

Then came the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth.

Half a month passed quickly.

"Crunch, crunch." Without warning, the ground around them suddenly began to shake violently, and the rubble floated uncontrollably. The next second, it suddenly fell back down, and everything returned to calm, as if nothing had ever happened.

The only difference was that Zhu Wu's entire body was enveloped in nine-colored light, and the surrounding space was slightly distorted.

"It's a success." Zhu Wu was overjoyed. After just merging with the energy of the sixth soul ring, his soul core had already transformed into a divine core, and his soul power had also transformed into divine power.

However, its strength was far inferior to that of the Dragon God in my memory, and it had not condensed a divine spark.

At this point, in terms of cultivation level alone, he could only be considered a priest without a divine position in the God Realm.

Without any delay, they continued fusing the soul rings.

Time flew by, and four days passed quickly. The last three spirit rings disappeared, and Zhu Wu encountered a bottleneck once again.

"Next is for the Martial Soul to return to its origin." Without giving it much thought, he proceeded according to the established plan.

With a thought, within the Martial Soul Space, "Roar!" Little White raised its head and let out a soft cry. Then, its whole body was enveloped in nine-colored light, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a ball of nine-colored light.

Then it suddenly plummeted, disappearing into the shimmering, nine-colored ground below like a drop of water falling into a clear pool.

It was at this moment that Zhu Wu's body trembled violently, and a sense of completeness originating from his soul suddenly welled up in his heart.

He could clearly feel his soul ascend to a new level in that instant, and his mind became much clearer as a result.

The next moment, as if blessed by divine intervention, a certain constraint within his body was broken. His cultivation successfully entered the third-level god level, his divine power increased to another level and was rapidly transforming, and the strength of his physical body and soul directly entered the first-level god level.

But there was still no sign of being able to condense a divine spark.

Logically, a third-level god should possess a divine position.

"Is it because I'm following the Path of the World?" He named his path to godhood the Path of the World. As the name suggests, he would build his inner space into a real world, or even a universe, and his strength would increase as the level of the world increased.

This path was actually referenced in the original work. In the sequel, the Crimson Mother, the ruler of the Crimson Plane, became a God-King level powerhouse without a divine position by constantly devouring other planes.

Of course, in his view, his approach had flaws.

The Crimson Mother's attribute is destruction. Her mastery of the laws is incomplete, making it impossible to mold the Crimson Plane into a true world. Therefore, she can only complete it by constantly devouring other worlds. However, she has never been able to change her own attribute.

Perhaps it's because its own destructive attribute is too strong, suppressing other attributes too much and making it difficult to compensate, or perhaps it's for some other reason.

As for the God of Destruction, the position was already occupied; the Crimson Mother could not possibly condense a godhood using the attribute of destruction.

Of course, these are all just his guesses; the Dragon God's memories do not contain any information on this matter.

"In any case, we now have a certain ability to protect ourselves, and the next step is to continue down this path."

"Once I'm familiar with it, I'll start devouring this small plane." With that thought, he closed his eyes to familiarize himself with and improve.

Meanwhile, in the Douluo Hall of Wuhun City.

"No, Grandpa!" Amid Qian Renxue's sorrowful cry, Qian Daoliu initiated the sacrifice.

A short while later, a gentle female voice rang in Qian Renxue's mind, "The Nine Trials of the Angel God, begin."

Before she finished speaking, a golden beam of light descended from nowhere, instantly enveloping Qian Renxue's body.

The next second, the golden light dissipated, the hall returned to calm, and Qian Renxue's figure had also disappeared.

Just a few days after Qian Renxue disappeared, February finally arrived.

Beneath the Papal Palace, in a secret chamber, a peculiar fluctuation suddenly rippled outwards, and a deep purple portal appeared out of thin air. Tap tap tap, crisp footsteps echoed from within.

A few blinks later, Bibi Dong, dressed in purple armor and carrying four huge scythes on her back, slowly walked out.

A flash of purple light appeared on his body, and he instantly switched to his normal attire.

"Qian Daoliu, you finally took that step." Bibi Dong scanned the area with her divine sense but did not find Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue in Wuhun City. She immediately guessed what was going on and then sneered.

"Now that I have become a god, who in this Spirit City, on this continent, can stop me?!"

Take a step forward and stride out of the secret room.

"Go and inform all the elders that I am going to convene an elders' meeting." He immediately sent the paladin knights to make the announcement.

"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope!"

PS: I had two more teeth extracted at the hospital today and didn't get back until this afternoon, so I haven't been able to update. Sorry!
