Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Ten Ferocious Heavenly Horned Ant

Poseidon could only think of these two words. She swallowed hard, unsure of what to say next.

Just now.

In the instant his life hung in the balance, an unexpected event occurred. The space behind Dong Qing suddenly shattered, and a small red flag was pulled out from within by his other hand.

His right fist, brimming with boundless light and heat, slammed into himself without mercy, while his free left hand tossed a small red flag in front of him.

While killing people, Poseidon really wanted to curse.

She understood.

This accident was bound to happen. If Dong Qing really wanted someone to die, he wouldn't have gone through so many twists and turns; he would have just punched himself in the face with his first punch.

But for Poseidon herself, she only felt like she had been played.

"Dongqing, you're deliberately scaring me. Do you think it's funny?"

A tear welled up in Poseidon's eye, and her pupils were filled with hatred as she stared at Dong Qing.

In order to become a god and to obtain the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, she had already given all the sincerity she could offer, yet this man before her was still bullying her like this.

"I....."

Dong Qing was about to explain that he simply wanted to be a wingman to prevent his teacher, Bibi Dong, from receiving a meager reward for her hard work in passing the divine exam, just like before.

I, Dongqing... truly had no intention of... deliberately toying with you, the Grand Priest of Seagod Island!

Just like now.

The red flag, which directly received Dong Qing's sixth soul skill, the Burning Heaven and Scorching Sun Fist, seemed to be activated by his power, and a faint flame appeared on its surface.

The firelight was faint, like a spark.

But at this moment, it is unique, even surpassing the sun's rays, which are strong enough to scorch one's eyes.

In a daze.

The flagpole of the small red flag moved almost imperceptibly, and a wisp of pure primordial fire floated out from the flag, then traversed space and floated directly to Dongqing's heart.

"Ouch... My heart is burning, my heart is aching!"

Dong Qing couldn't help but cry out in pain, his wide eyes rolled back, and then he fell backward, plummeting straight down into the vast sea below.

Even though he is strong enough to easily crush a level 99 peerless Douluo like Poseidon with one hand, he still can't fly.

However, since Dongqing kept the gravity field open, it greatly reduced its own gravity. It's more accurate to say that it was drifting down rather than falling.

Just as Dongqing drifted down with the wind, the primordial fire from the little red flag transformed into sparks and began to slowly merge into Dongqing's heart.

When the primordial fire merges into the heart, the pain is excruciating, as if both the soul and body are being scorched by the flames of the primordial fire.

But there's nothing that can be done about it. Dongqing's soul power isn't strong enough to destroy the world with a single thought, and he can't be immune to this dual pain from both body and soul.

Noticing that Dongqing was not in good condition, Poseidon flew straight to him and looked at the man who had suddenly turned pale and fainted with a puzzled expression.

"Pfft, Dongqing, stop pretending. You think I don't know you have an invincible physical body? And now you're pretending to be unconscious right here? Do you think I'm easy to fool?"

Seeing Dongqing faint and lose consciousness, his face still incredibly pale, Poseidon burst into laughter through her tears, but she quickly composed herself and adopted a serious expression.

She simply didn't believe that Dongqing had suddenly encountered some kind of accident, because she couldn't detect the primordial fire of the small red flag at all, and assumed that Dongqing was deliberately putting on this act in front of her.

However.......

Approximately a few seconds later.

She noticed that Dongqing was really not right; he seemed to have fainted. Her beautiful brows furrowed slightly, and her expression gradually became complicated.

Because it was at this time.

Deep within Poseidon's heart, an uncontrollable greed inadvertently surfaced, and evil thoughts began to frantically corrupt her reason.

"The aftershocks of his third punch have not yet dissipated. Except for the very center, where all the light and heat have been absorbed by that strange little red flag, the surrounding area is a scorching inferno within a hundred kilometers."

"At this time, external spiritual power cannot penetrate here. Even if I take advantage of her vulnerability and secretly do something to her, that woman will have no idea."

"Perhaps for a peerless Douluo like me with a lifespan of over a thousand years, sixty years is not a long time. Even thirty years would be just a blink of an eye. But now that I have the opportunity, why should I wait?"

"If I seize this opportunity to control him and obtain the Vast Ocean Universe Cover from him, I can easily succeed as the Sea God within ten years. Why should I suffer those injustices under his command..."

"I might... anyway, he bullied me first!"

"Nobody will know. Even if you do it now, nobody will know. So what if it gets discovered later... By then, you'll have already become a god. What do you have to fear from a man who is physically invincible on earth?"

More and more thoughts flooded my mind, and the evil thoughts grew stronger.

Poseidon unconsciously reached out and grabbed the ferret that kept drifting downwards, her slender hands resting on his smooth forehead.

This moment.

The small red flag, which had been hovering motionless in the void, silently floated to the back of Poseidon's head. The flagpole was raised high, aimed at the back of her unsuspecting head, waiting for her to make up her mind to take action against Dongqing.

For a treasure like the little red flag, whose exact level is unknown, in the world of Douluo Continent, no matter who it wants to kill, it would be impossible for anyone to detect its murderous intent.

Even the three great god-kings of the Douluo God Realm, whose souls and spirits had been destroyed, did not even have the ability to sense the small red flag, let alone Poseidon, who had not yet become a god.

She had no idea that the little red flag was quietly fluttering behind her head; her so-called sixth sense couldn't detect that she was in a truly life-or-death situation.

There's no way around it; the difference in their levels is too great. It's like a higher-dimensional world launching a dimensional reduction attack on a lower-dimensional world. Beings in the lower-dimensional world simply cannot observe or perceive this fatal blow.

.....

Inside the Sky Shuttle, in a small world, a white jade palace, a sleeping chamber.

Inside a deserted and desolate hall, a woman dressed in a snow-white gauze robe sat serenely and naturally in front of a transparent crystal coffin.

Inside the coffin lay a corpse that looked exactly like her, exuding an aura of death. Strangely, however, this corpse was constantly radiating a strong vitality.

If it weren't for the woman in the snow-white gauze dress suppressing this abundant life force, it's believed that within a few years, a completely new consciousness and soul would have emerged from this body.

At this time.

She rested her chin on one arm, sat in front of the coffin, and quietly watched Dongqing, who was merging with the primordial fire, and Poseidon, who intended to harm him.

"What a peculiar flag! Such powerful spirituality! As a pure-blooded Skyhorn Ant, Xiao Qing's luck is indeed extraordinary. She is fortunate enough to obtain such a treasure with such powerful protective abilities."

"In terms of quality alone, it is by no means inferior to the Sky-Piercing Shuttle. It is only different in function. In that world, even beings at the level of Immortal Kings would have to fight tooth and nail for it."

"This little red flag gives me the feeling that it is an extremely powerful weapon, while the Sky Shuttle's ability is different; it mainly traverses the myriad worlds and the endless chaotic sea."

The woman in the snow-white gauze dress muttered to herself, her gaze fixed on Poseidon's face, a faint killing intent gathering in her pupils.

Needless to say.

Currently, the only person who can stay in the small world inside the Sky-Piercing Shuttle is the female horned ant Yu Niang. When she is bored, she always observes Dong Qing's life in secret.

Perhaps such behavior is somewhat perverted, but given her unusual identity and the fact that she is a woman, it's not really anything serious.

The perspective shifts back to the outside world.

Because Dongqing's sixth soul skill, the Burning Heaven and Scorching Sun Fist, was too powerful, the third punch turned a hundred kilometers into a sea of ​​fire, and no one knew that the very center was completely calm.

This is similar to a tornado in nature. While the outside world is raging with strong winds, the very center of the tornado, its "eye," is empty, and you can hardly feel the violent, raging winds from the outside.

Of course, there is still a difference between the two. If the little red flag hadn't absorbed all the light and heat in the central area, Poseidon's body would probably have turned to ashes by now.

At this moment, in mid-air, there was a man and a woman.

Dong Qing was grabbed by the collar with one hand by Poseidon, while the other hand hovered between his eyebrows. She stared at the man in front of her, who had inexplicably fainted, with a complicated expression.

"As the high priest of Poseidon Island, can't you show some backbone at a time like this?!"

"I give up! How can you be so useless? He's already passed out and has no chance to resist at all, yet you still can't bring yourself to do it!"

"He's so mean, he bullied you, don't you want to get revenge?"

"Follow your heart and act quickly. He's in your hands now. If you wait until he regains consciousness, you might never have another chance like this."

"Don't you want to become a god as soon as possible and live happily ever after with Chen? Do you really want to wait sixty years? Are you really willing to obey the orders of a half-grown boy?"

"If you just... you can obtain the Vast Ocean Universe Cover you've been longing for, and becoming the Sea God will be just around the corner."

Poseidon's mind was filled with wicked thoughts, but when she turned her gaze to Dongqing's face, she noticed that the man in front of her had an unremarkable appearance.

Ask yourself honestly...

When she saw Dongqing's furrowed brows, pale face, pained expression, and the way he clutched his chest, for a moment, she did feel a pang of sympathy.

From Poseidon's perspective.

Dong Qing had a handsome face. Beneath his long, sword-like eyebrows, his eyes shone like a galaxy, and his high, straight nose was as if carved from jade.

The lips below the nose have a perfect curve, resembling an arch. If they were even slightly longer, they would appear too rugged and ruin this perfection.

If it were a little shorter, it would appear as delicate and fragile as a daughter; a little more would be too strong, and a little less would be too soft. The way it is now is just right, perfect.

.......

A dozen minutes later.

Dong Qing finally woke up from the excruciating pain and fainting spell caused by the burning sensation in his heart. The first thing he saw when he looked up was Poseidon, who was holding him by the collar with one hand.

This pose...

He felt a little uncomfortable and a little embarrassed, but he didn't care. He reached out and hugged the woman's waist, then leaned against her.

"Dongqing, you suddenly lost consciousness and fainted just now. Was it because that soul skill caused you to overdraw your soul power?" Poseidon asked softly.

She didn't pay attention to Dongqing's seemingly deliberate attempt to take advantage of her, because she understood that Dongqing was indeed a little weak at the moment.

Let him hug me, just out of pity for him, for his pitiful state of being so weak and powerless.

have to say.

A person's appearance can sometimes influence their judgment.

If a beautiful woman accidentally does something minor that doesn't violate human nature, her good looks will make you feel that the problem isn't with her, but with the world.

The same applies to men.

Even though Dong Qing's sudden attack on her had angered her, she was still... considering that she wasn't injured, only slightly frightened.

In the end, she couldn't bring herself to be ruthless; she couldn't get past her own conscience.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that she always had a way out.

Even if she doesn't attack Dong Qing now, there's a very high probability that she'll obtain the Vast Ocean Universe Cover in the next sixty years, or even earlier, thirty years from now.

Otherwise, faced with the temptation of becoming a god, she would have been completely unable to control the evil thoughts that had just surfaced in her mind.
