After saying that, Xuan Hao closed his eyes.

During this nearly year-long period of intense training, Xuan Hao's mental state was constantly on edge.

Once he completely relaxed, an overwhelming sense of fatigue instantly overwhelmed him.

He slept for a whole month straight.

When Xuan Hao opened his eyes again, full of energy, it was already the second month.

During this month, Hu Liena and Dugu Yan, who had been diligently training under the light of the sea god, finally completed their first test with their tenacious perseverance and are now ready to begin their second test.

Xuan Hao sat on the beach, looking at the towering Nine Heavens Mystic Steps, feeling utterly speechless at his abnormally powerful second test.

A demigod's body?

If given a few more years to gradually temper his body and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, achieving that level of physical strength might not be difficult.

However, that old man from the Sea God only gave a one-year time limit!

How could he possibly have done that in just one year?!

"actually……"

Na'er sat down beside him, her purple eyes gleaming with wisdom. "This second test, perhaps... the Sea God doesn't require you to charge forward alone."

Xuan Hao was taken aback, then turned to look at her with a puzzled expression: "You mean..."

Na'er pointed to his forehead: "Don't forget, there are now two overlords of the far north living in your spiritual sea. The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress can help you share the pressure at critical moments."

"If the three of you can perfectly fuse your spiritual power, and combine it with their ultimate ice attribute defense, you will definitely be able to temporarily resist the pressure of a demigod."

Na'er analyzed earnestly, "As long as you can seize those few brief seconds of mental energy fusion and unleash all your amplification soul skills for a burst of speed, you might be able to cross that final forbidden zone in one go and successfully reach the top."

“But…” Na’er changed the subject, “The premise of this tactic is that you must first make your body fully adapt to the normal pressure of the double Poseidon’s Light at level 900 or so.”

Xuan Hao sighed, "Alright, you can't rush things. Let's take it slow."

For the next six months or so.

Xuan Hao has once again entered ascetic mode.

Every day, he constantly challenged his limits on the Nine Heavens Mystic Steps, striving to adapt to the terrifying oppressive feeling of double the Sea God's Light.

As Na'er said, the Snow Empress and Ice Empress in the Sea of ​​Spirit began to try to merge their spiritual essence with Xuan Hao to help him resist the crushing light of the Sea God.

The tactic was indeed remarkably effective. With the combined assistance of the two ferocious beasts from the far north, Xuan Hao's limits were continuously pushed higher.

I struggled all the way from level 888 to level 968!

but……

The remaining thirty-three steps were like an insurmountable chasm; no matter how well the three of them cooperated or pushed their limits, they could not take even half a step forward.

At this point, there were less than two months left until the one-year assessment period.

……

In the evening, a gentle sea breeze caressed the skin.

Xuan Hao leaned dejectedly against the rocks by the sea, watching the surging waves with a furrowed brow.

"Are we really going to give up in this lousy place?"

Even if he failed the assessment and was expelled from Poseidon Island, it wouldn't be a substantial loss for him.

After all, he had already reached level 99; at worst, he could just pack up and leave.

but……

Everyone has self-esteem.

Especially for someone like him, a living devil who has swept through everything with ease, it would be a huge loss of face if he were forced to retreat by such a monstrous test.

Moreover, although he kept insisting that he was going to the City of Slaughter to seize the position of the God of Asura, he was actually quite panicked inside.

What if that murderous Asura God sees that he carries a strong dragon god bloodline and not only refuses to grant him a divine position, but also draws the Asura Demon Sword and kills him with a single blow?

Having another way out is always a good thing.

Just as Xuan Hao was lost in thought, Na'er gracefully walked to his side.

“Brother…” Na’er looked at his worried face and suddenly said something surprising, “You think… to break through the last thirty-three steps, could it be that… we need the power of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King?”

Xuan Hao was startled and suddenly sat up straight.

Na'er continued her analysis: "Although the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress are the overlords of the far north, their cultivation and spiritual power have reached their limits when facing the pressure of a demigod. They can no longer help you with anything more."

"To truly break through that final absolute distance belonging to demigods... perhaps only the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King residing within you, with their pure ancient dragon god bloodline and dragon soul power, can work together to help you overcome it."

Xuan Hao frowned slightly and said with a wry smile, "But the two of them can't exert much power right now."

"Ever since they forcibly released the power of the dragon soul to help me suppress the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and fuse the soul bone in the Demon Whale Sea, they have both fallen into a deep slumber and have not made a sound for almost two years. Obviously, that time took a great toll on them."

A complex light flashed in Na'er's purple eyes as she said softly, "Perhaps... we can try a different approach."

Chapter 426 Two Dragons Sacrifice, Two Rings Formed, Facing the Descent of the God Poseidon

……

The voice just fell.

Two faint lights suddenly flashed across Xuan Hao's chest.

Two illusory dragon phantoms, one red and one blue, floated out of his body without warning.

The illusory images of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King's dragon souls floated silently in mid-air.

The two giant dragons did not look at Xuan Hao, but instead looked directly at Na'er, who was standing to the side.

In the tranquil sea breeze, their gazes met in the air.

Without any verbal exchange, it was as if some ancient and profound tacit understanding had been reached in an instant.

next second.

The Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King turned around abruptly.

"Roar--!"

With two resolute dragon roars, the two enormous ancient dragon soul phantoms did not return to Xuan Hao's spiritual sea, but instead transformed into two streams of light and plunged into Xuan Hao's body, rushing straight towards his silver dragon martial soul, which was in a semi-sealed state!

Xuan Hao was jolted awake. "What...what are you doing?!"

boom--!!!

Two immense and immeasurable ancient dragon soul powers, like a burst dam, poured into Xuan Hao's martial soul origin belonging to the Silver Dragon King without reservation and with frenzy!

These two forces are so immense and so ancient!

Xuan Hao's consciousness didn't even have a chance to resist. He only felt a loud "buzz" in his mind and was directly knocked unconscious by this huge soul impact.

……

When Xuanhao slowly woke up again.

He found himself lying on the soft sand at the foot of Poseidon. And yet, a month had passed without him even realizing it!

Xuan Hao sat up, somewhat bewildered. When he instinctively released his martial spirit, he froze instantly.

Around his Silver Dragon Martial Soul, in addition to the original spirit rings, two brand-new spirit rings radiating terrifying pressure had appeared out of nowhere!

One of them was an ice-blue Ice Dragon King Soul Ring that exuded an extremely cold aura!

The other one was a crimson-gold Fire Dragon King Soul Ring that exuded an aura of extreme destruction!

He felt the power within his body surge to an incredible level due to the sacrifice of the two ancient dragon souls.

Xuan Hao lowered his head and remained silent for a very long time.

He didn't ask Na'er why, nor did he complain.

Now that things have come to this, with the two Dragon Kings having completely sacrificed their last remaining dragon souls to become his soul rings, the die is cast and there's really nothing more to say.

Xuan Hao suddenly stood up and strode up the Nine Heavens Mystic Steps that had caused him so much suffering.

Without any hesitation, Xuan Hao unleashed his full speed and charged up the seemingly insurmountable 968 steps in one fell swoop!

Faced with that materialized, double Poseidon's Light, powerful enough to crush demigods.

Xuan Hao roared and unhesitatingly activated the two primordial soul rings he had just acquired, which symbolized the power of the ancient dragon soul!

"Roar--!!!"

Two colossal, sky-covering dragon phantoms suddenly appeared behind him.

Despite the overwhelming pressure that seemed to distort even space itself, Xuan Hao unleashed terrifying power from his legs.

With one burst of energy, they forcefully broke through the crushing force of double the Sea God's Light!

One step! Two steps! Three steps!

Under Poseidon's gaze, which was filled with awe, reverence, and even a hint of disbelief.

With each step Xuan Hao took, he left a deep footprint on the hard Sea God's Stairs.

Finally, he crossed the last thirty-three steps and once again stepped steadily onto the plaza of the Sea God Temple!

Om-!

The red mark on his forehead burst forth with dazzling light, and the sea god's majestic voice descended once more:

"Second test: Passing through double the light of the Sea God, ascending to the Nine Heavens Mystic Steps, successful!"

"Rewards issued: All spirit rings' age limit increased by 20,000 years! Four spirit rings bestowed by the gods!"

Four golden beads landed steadily in Xuan Hao's hand.

Xuan Hao looked at the beads in his hand, but instead of being happy, he was speechless and wary: "Wait... the difficulty doubles, and the reward doubles too? When did Old Deng become so generous?"

"Something's fishy here! What kind of crazy test is your next one? Don't tell me it's some triple or quadruple Sea God's Light challenge to reach the top! If that's the case, then you can have your fun here by yourself, I'm not playing along!"

The voice just fell.

The red divine test mark on his forehead flashed wildly once more, and the Sea God's emotionless voice boomed clearly in Xuan Hao's mind, announcing the third test, which could be described as hellish in difficulty:

"The third test: Defeat Poseidon, the High Priestess of the Sea God!"
