Her fate was sealed the day she became the High Priestess of the Sea God.

One day in the future, she will give her life for the God's Trial.

This is not only her duty, but also her inescapable fate.

……

The sun rises and the moon sets.

Time slips away quietly.

The energy of a soul ring that is nearly a million years old is simply too vast to be absorbed in a short time.

A month has now passed.

Poseidon stayed by Su Mo's side the whole time.

Her strength had already been restored, and nothing around her could escape her perception.

As for Xiaobai and her tribe, they ate for three whole days before returning to the waters near Poseidon Island, satisfied, to continue fulfilling their duty of guarding the island.

On this day, the waters of the Demon Whale were calm and peaceful.

The sunlight shone on the sea, making it sparkle.

The sea breeze is gentle, and the fierce atmosphere of the great battle is long gone.

Su Mo, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes.

A powerful aura suddenly erupted from his body.

Immediately afterwards, nine spirit rings rose one after another from Su Mo's feet, slowly rotating around him.

Su Mo stood up and stretched his somewhat stiff body.

He felt the surging soul power within him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

"We finally succeeded..."

However, his ninth spirit ring was not a true million-year level, so it only provided two spirit skills.

The first soul skill is called Demon Whale's Raging Wave Slash, which is impossible for any defense below the god level to withstand.

The second soul skill is called Devouring Heaven and Earth, which originates from the devouring characteristic of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

"Congratulations on officially breaking through to the Title Douluo level, your strength has reached a new level."

Poseidon bowed slightly, his tone respectful.

This courtesy is certainly partly due to Su Mo being the successor of a god; as the representative of the sea god on earth, she naturally has to show some respect.

But more than anything, it was her recognition of Su Mo's abilities.

In the end, this world respects the strong.

Regardless of background or age, ability is the only measure of everything.

Su Mo earned her respect through his own abilities.

"Don't call me 'Your Excellency'." Su Mo smiled slightly. "My name is Su Mo. Just call me by my name. Thank you for protecting me this time, High Priest. You've worked hard."

"Oh, right, I still need to absorb that torso soul bone. This time it won't take too long."

“Okay.” Poseidon nodded in response. “You can absorb it in peace. I will continue to stay here and won’t let anyone disturb you.”

Su Mo nodded slightly and took out the torso soul bone from the soul tool.

He sat down cross-legged again, pressed the soul bone tightly against his chest, closed his eyes, and began to absorb the soul bone.

……

sunset.

The golden afterglow spilled onto the sea.

A faint golden light enveloped Su Mo's body.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and stood up.

At this moment, the soul power around him surged again, reaching the level of a 96th-level Title Douluo.

This is the terrifying energy contained within a soul ring and soul bone that are nearly a million years old.

It allowed him to directly surpass the path that ordinary Title Douluo would take several years, or even more than a decade, to complete.

The torso soul bone also has two soul bone skills.

The first is Energy Armor, which is somewhat similar to his second soul skill, both of which condense armor to form protection.

However, this skill's defensive capabilities are far more terrifying; attacks below the god level simply cannot break through it.

In other words, as long as he doesn't encounter a true god, Su Mo could stand there and let the other party hit him without being harmed in the slightest.

The second one is called Abyss Thunderstorm, which is a combined water and thunder attack, similar to the Thunder Orb used by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King before.

Su Mo can condense a large number of lightning beads within a certain range, which he can control at will. When they collide, they can unleash extremely terrifying power.

"Please step aside for a moment, I want to try out my newly acquired soul skill." Su Mo looked at Poseidon and smiled slightly.

Without the slightest hesitation, Poseidon took to the air, her gaze fixed intently on Su Mo.

She also wanted to see just how powerful a soul skill with a lifespan of nearly a million years really was.

Soon, Su Mo hovered in mid-air, his nine soul rings lighting up.

"Ninth Soul Skill, Devour Heaven and Earth!"

A huge dark red vortex rapidly condensed and took shape in mid-air in front of him.

The vortex spun faster and faster, and a terrifying suction force suddenly erupted, rushing towards the mountain-like corpse of the Demon Whale King, which had been devoured beyond recognition.

In the blink of an eye, the corpse of the Demon Whale King was sucked into the vortex.

Soon, Su Mo felt an extremely pure energy return to him.

His soul power surged again, reaching the peak of level 96, just one step away from level 97.

He immediately understood. If the Deep Sea Demon Whale King hadn't been dead for so long and hadn't lost so much energy, he might have been able to break through to level 97 or even higher in one fell swoop.

At that moment, Poseidon, who was in the distance, was startled upon seeing this.

Su Mo's soul skill is surprisingly similar to the devouring ability of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

Moreover, she could clearly sense that Su Mo's soul power was rapidly increasing.

Doesn't this mean that as long as the opponent devours more powerful individuals, they can quickly break through to level 99?

At this moment, the vortex dissipated.

Su Mo put away the spirit ring, looked at Poseidon, and asked with a smile:

"High Priest, I've heard that Poseidon Island has unique scenery. May I visit it and see for myself?"

He had never been to Poseidon Island and wanted to take this opportunity to see its splendor.

Of course, he also had other motives.

Poseidon snapped out of her reverie and nodded gently, saying, "Of course."

Although according to the rules of Seagod Island, outsiders, especially Soul Masters from the mainland, are not allowed to set foot on the island.

But this time is different.

The Sea God had previously given a clear divine decree.

Whatever request Su Mo makes, as long as it's not too unreasonable, it can be agreed to.

It can be said that as long as Su Mo does not destroy Seagod Island or harm its people, she can try her best to meet any other requests.

"Let's go then, you lead the way," Su Mo said.

"Come with me."

Poseidon moved swiftly and sped off into the distance.

Su Mo followed closely behind.

The two streaks of light disappeared in the blink of an eye at the horizon where the sea meets the sky.

Chapter 131 Poseidon Island

Above the sea off Poseidon Island.

Two streaks of light flashed across the sky at incredible speed, landing on the golden sand in the blink of an eye.

It was Su Mo and Poseidon.

The afterglow of the setting sun spread across the entire beach, casting long, thin shadows of the two people.

The waves behind me crashed against the rocks on the shore, making a loud splashing sound.

A warm sea breeze, carrying the salty scent of the ocean, rushed towards me.

“This is Poseidon Island,” Poseidon said softly.

"Yes, it is indeed a very beautiful place."

Su Mo looked around at the scene before him, his tone filled with admiration.

Ahead lay lush greenery, with exotic flowers and herbs growing everywhere, and the air was filled with the faint fragrance of grass and flowers.

Flocks of seabirds occasionally soar through the air, leaving behind a few clear and melodious calls, adding a touch of vibrant life to the beautiful island scenery.

Looking at the picturesque scenery before him, Su Mo felt all the fatigue from the past two months of travel vanish instantly, and his mood relaxed.

Just then, a violent surge of water erupted from the sea behind him.

Immediately afterwards, a huge white figure shot through the sea like an arrow, creating waves several meters high.

Amidst the splashing water, a massive body rapidly shrank, transforming into a woman dressed in a tight-fitting outfit—it was Xiao Bai from the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan.

After landing, Xiaobai bowed to Poseidon and said, "Greetings, High Priest."

Finally, she bowed slightly to Su Mo, her tone filled with gratitude and respect: "Xiao Bai greets Your Majesty."

Although she had only known Su Mo for a short time, Su Mo was not only powerful, but also allowed her clan to devour the corpse of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, which greatly enhanced the overall strength of the clan. She always remembered this kindness.
