Douluo Continent: The Twin Holy Dragons of Light and Darkness, the Dragon Emperor Breaks Through the

The tower was covered in cracks, but it did not collapse.

Tang Chen stood atop the tower, hands behind his back, his crimson eyes gazing in the direction of Martial Soul City.

His face was pale, and there was still blood at the corner of his mouth.

Qian Daoliu's sword wounded his internal organs, but he didn't care. What he cared about was that the child was under house arrest, that his food supplies were cut off, and that the city he had built up over decades was mostly destroyed.

In the distance, a gray pigeon took flight from the ruins, flapping its wings as it flew south.

Tang Chen's gaze followed the pigeon until it disappeared into the gray sky.

"I will not give up."

His voice was very soft.

The realm of the gods, the domain of the sea god.

The endless seawater surged beneath my feet, yet not a single wave appeared.

The entire sea was as calm as a mirror, reflecting the stars in the sky.

Poseidon, the god of the sea, stands in the middle of the ocean, barefoot on the waves, his long, deep blue hair swaying gently in the sea breeze.

His eyes were closed, but his brows were slightly furrowed.

Jin Chen.

Golden Dragon Crocodile, brother of Qian Gu Lingfeng, and successor to the Nine Trials of the Sea God.

Poseidon watched the boy, watched him walk into the Star Dou Great Forest, watched him find the Ironclad Crocodile, watched him fight the Ironclad Crocodile, watched him stand still despite being covered in blood, and watched him.

He watched all night, from the moment Jin Chen entered the Star Dou Great Forest until he left, his gaze never leaving him.

Poseidon, the god of the sea, has lived for countless years and has seen countless geniuses as well as countless mediocre ones.

He had seen people give up on the first of the Nine Trials of Poseidon, some die on the second, some go insane on the third, and no one passed the Nine Trials of Poseidon.

His divine position has been vacant for many years, and no one has been able to inherit it.

His power was fading away day by day, his divine position was becoming increasingly vacant, and his presence in the divine realm was growing weaker day by day.

The gods of kindness and evil would occasionally visit him, the goddess of life and the god of destruction would occasionally come to greet him, but the god of Asura never came, and he didn't care.

He lived for so long that he himself forgot how many years he had lived.

But he remembered Qian Yuhan, the silver-haired, golden-eyed angel, the look in her eyes when she rejected the Asura God, and the golden light that shone when she fell.

Jin Chen did not refine the soul bone. He stood up and walked towards the outside of the Star Dou Great Forest. His steps were steady. Although he was covered in blood and exhausted, he was smiling.

Poseidon looked at that smiling face and felt a complex mix of emotions welling up inside him.

That boy was more resilient, more optimistic, and more like a true heir than anyone he had ever met.

Jin Chen left the Star Dou Great Forest and returned to Martial Soul Capital.

Qian Renxue waited for him at the city gate. When she saw him covered in blood, her eyes reddened.

Jin Chen grinned.

"Sister Xue'er, I'm fine."

External injury.

Qian Renxue didn't speak, but simply reached out and gently patted his shoulder.

Jin Chen walked into the offering hall. Ling Feng sat on a chair with the dragon-patterned staff lying across his lap. He looked at Jin Chen with a slight upturn at the corner of his mouth.

"finished?"

Jin Chen nodded.

"It's done."

Ironclad Crocodile, with 20,000 years of cultivation.

The right arm bone, its soul bone skill is Iron Armor Protection, which doubles the defense. It can be given to the Spirit Hall as a reward.

Ling Feng nodded.

"What about the second test?"

Jin Chen thought for a moment.

"Within three months, swim across the endless sea and reach the Island of the Sea God."

You can't take a boat, you can't fly, you can only swim.

Chapter 227 Then Let's Fight

He paused, swallowed, and asked, "How far is the Endless Sea?"

Ling Feng looked at him.

"It's very far."

The straight-line distance from Haifeng City in the East China Sea to Poseidon Island is three thousand miles.

It takes more than a month to swim there and more than a month to swim back.

You only have three months left.

Jin Chen fell silent.

But his fists were clenched tightly.

"I can do it."

The day Jin Chen left Wuhun Capital was another sunny day.

He rode alone towards the East China Sea without anyone by his side.

Ling Feng stood on the city wall, watching his figure gradually disappear on the horizon.

Qian Renxue stood beside him and whispered, "Can he do it?"

Ling Feng nodded.

"can."

The realm of the gods, the domain of the sea god.

Poseidon stood in the middle of the sea, his gaze piercing through layers of void and landing on the boundless ocean.

Jin Chen stood on the beach of Haifeng City, took off his coat and shoes, and tied his bundle to his back.

He looked at the boundless sea, took a deep breath, and then leaped into the water.

The people of Sea Breeze City stood on the beach, watching the boy rise and fall in the waves.

Some shook their heads, some sighed, and some covered their eyes.

They thought the boy was crazy. How could he possibly swim three thousand miles?

Jin Chen swam in the sea for a day and a night, and his Golden Dragon Crocodile Martial Soul showed unexpected advantages in the sea.

Crocodiles are amphibians, meaning they can live on land and in water.

The Golden Dragon Crocodile is even more so; its scales are waterproof, its claws can paddle, and its tail can steer.

The vast ocean and the universe enveloped his chest, radiating a slightly warm blue light that allowed him to breathe underwater and resist the cold of the seawater.

The next day, Jin Chen encountered a group of sea spirit beasts.

They were a group of swordfish, shaped like shuttles, with mouths like long swords, and incredibly fast.

When they saw Jin Chen, they mistook him for prey and charged at him.

Jin Chen didn't panic. He flipped over in the water to avoid an attack from a swordfish, and then punched another swordfish.

Blue light surged from the fist, freezing the swordfish into a block of ice, which then sank to the bottom of the sea.

The other swordfish were scared away.

On the third day, Jin Chen encountered a ten-thousand-year-old sea spirit beast.

It was a giant whale, as big as a mountain, entirely black, with eyes like two lanterns.

It opened its huge mouth, and a jet of water shot out, heading straight for Jin Chen.

Jin Chen dodged the water column, but the water column exploded on the sea surface, creating waves several meters high.

Jin Chen was swallowed by the waves and rolled in the seawater.

He choked on some water and almost passed out, but he remained conscious.

He gritted his teeth and activated the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. Blue light surged from his chest, freezing the waves into a sheet of ice.

He stepped onto the ice, leaped out of the water, and gasped for breath.

The giant whale is still there, swimming on the surface of the sea, occasionally spouting a jet of water as if in provocation.

Jin Chen ignored it, jumped back into the sea, and continued swimming eastward.

On the seventh day, Jin Chen swam across the waters of Haifeng City and entered the deep sea.

The seawater is deeper, the waves are bigger, and there are more sea spirit beasts.

His physical strength was waning, his soul power was being depleted, and the wounds on his body, soaked in the seawater, had turned white and were causing him to grimace in pain.

But he didn't stop; he knew he couldn't stop, because stopping meant death.

There was only one thought in his mind—forward, forward, forward.

On the twentieth day, Jin Chen saw the outline of Poseidon Island.

It was a huge island with towering peaks, shrouded in clouds and mist, from which a faint golden light shone.

Jin Chen's tears flowed down his face. He swam desperately, paddled desperately, and struggled to move forward.

On the twenty-first day, Jin Chen landed on Poseidon Island.

He lay on the beach, panting heavily, his body covered in wounds and his soul power exhausted, but his eyes shone with an astonishing light.

The guards of Poseidon Island found Jin Chen and carried him to the Temple of Poseidon.

Poseidon stood on the steps of the temple of Poseidon, looking at the wounded boy with complex emotions in her eyes.
