The tedious afternoon always left people feeling exhausted. A small boat slowly sailed into the harbor of Sea God Island. Immediately, the soul masters of Sea God Island hurried forward and lowered the gangway. Everyone's faces carried a hint of fatigue as they disembarked one by one and walked toward the interior of Sea Horse City.
Since the day they completed the fifth test, everyone's strength had advanced another step. After recovering from their injuries and restoring their physical strength, the group finally had a rare period of free time.
During this free time, under the "sneaky" guidance of Sea Woman Douluo, they all went together to visit her clan.
What was somewhat surprising was that Sea Woman Douluo's clan residence was not far from Sea God Island. The small boat sailed on the sea for about an hour before reaching the destination.
Mermaids were a legendary race among the top soul beasts in the great sea. Even in the present era, their clan's strength was still far more powerful than that of some sects.
The current clan leader of the mermaid clan was Sea Woman Douluo's grandfather. His strength, when converted to that of a human soul master, had astonishingly reached the ninety-eighth level of a Super Douluo. Apart from Sea Woman Douluo, the mermaid clan also had three Title Douluo-level powerhouses, which could be said to be extremely formidable...
Such strength would rank among the top major clans even across the entire great sea. This also indirectly proved that the existence of mermaids, as half-human, half-soul beasts, indeed possessed innate advantages on the path of cultivation.
The mermaid clan extended an extremely warm welcome to the group's arrival. To some extent, their entire clan was extreme appearance enthusiasts, naturally harboring goodwill toward people with high attractiveness. Coincidentally, there was not a single person in the group whose appearance was not outstanding; almost everyone appeared in the mermaids' eyes as naturally friendly companions.
Under the protection of special bubbles, the group toured the mermaid clan's underwater city one after another and witnessed many wondrous sights that were utterly impossible to see elsewhere.
Even when it was time to leave, Sea Woman Douluo's grandfather took the initiative to bring out various treasures from their clan for the group to choose from freely. These treasures included all kinds of precious gems and even gold and silver jewelry, among which there were also quite a few various types of soul bones. From Sea Woman Douluo's words, these soul bones were all obtained from soul beasts that had attempted to attack their clan's residence. This also indirectly showed that one should never question the mermaid clan's combat power. Beneath their gorgeous exteriors hid a terrifying battle strength capable of contending with top soul beasts like the Evil Demon Killer Whale.
...
After completing the fifth test, everyone's strength had advanced to even higher levels.
Shui Bing'er's soul power had reached the peak of the seventy-ninth level in an extremely short time, with breaking through to Soul Douluo being a matter of just the last two days. Shen Liuyu's soul power had directly reached the astonishing eighty-eighth level, with only one final step left to the Title Douluo barrier.
The speed at which the two of them increased their soul power could be described as unprecedented. In just a few short months, the soul power levels they had raised were something that ordinary people would require years or even decades to achieve. On one hand, it was due to the conveniences and pathways provided by the divine test, and on the other hand, it was a great affirmation of the two's talents.
On the other side, Duguyan's soul power level had already reached the peak of the sixty-ninth level, with only one step left to Soul Saint. After several evolutions, her martial soul had gradually approached the peak of top beast martial souls. Unfortunately, her Jade Phosphor Snake Emperor poison had never been able to break through to the ultimate poison. Otherwise, her martial soul could have leaped to become a super martial soul, and her cultivation speed would then have had the possibility of catching up to the previous two.
Bai Nian and Shui Yue'er were the same; both had currently reached the high-level Soul Emperor stage. After completing the sixth test and secluded cultivation for a period, breaking through to Soul Saint would pose no problem. The lowest soul power level among the others had also reached the initial Soul Emperor stage.
This was the terror of the divine test. It should be known that, among the current group, apart from Xue Wu, who was the oldest and had just crossed the twenty-year mark, everyone else's age was younger than hers. Yet the soul power cultivation they possessed far surpassed hers. Their potential was likewise immensely vast. Even if they could not become gods in the short term in the future, they would certainly be able to become Super Douluos.
After a period of seclusion, You Mengchu successfully broke through to the ninety-seventh level. Her current age was still considered young. Even the so-called former youngest Title Douluo on the continent, Tang Hao, was still only a Soul Douluo at her age, but she had already stepped into the Super Douluo level. Moreover, with continuous accumulation and cultivation, her future path could be said to be completely unobstructed. Becoming a Limit Douluo was estimated to be a matter of just these two years.
...
After a brief rest, the group silently accepted reality.
The final time limit stipulated for the Sea God Sixth Test was about to arrive, and the pressure on everyone's shoulders grew heavier and heavier. Facing a quasi-god who had only sealed part of her strength, in the end, no one in the group had full confidence.
Although this test did not specify their range of action or any upper or lower limits, in such a vast Sea God Island, if Bo Saixi wished, the only one who could truly stop her was Shen Hanyu alone...
Although the situation was indeed somewhat unfavorable, through the group's painstaking deliberations, Shui Bing'er still found a simple yet almost unsolvable method.
This method was simple and direct while also carrying great risks. But facing Bo Saixi head-on, they had not a shred of chance of victory. At this point, there was no choice but to do so.
Before the sixth test officially began, Shui Bing'er informed Shen Hanyu of the method they had devised. After listening, Shen Hanyu fell silent for a moment, then nodded and agreed.
The Sea God was not an evil deity. If Shui Bing'er and the others chose to use the civilians of Sea God Island as shields, they might still safely pass this test. But this approach was far too extreme and might cause severe effects on them during the ninth test of divine inheritance. Simply put, this method was a double-edged sword. No one in the group could reach the level of Shen Hanyu, who could almost disregard all useless lives. This was normal. Shen Hanyu expressed understanding and was willing to back them up for their choice.
...
The sunlight was warm, and the sky was azure.
Bo Saixi's figure slowly emerged from the Sea God Temple. Immediately, ripples spread through the void. The woman looked up and saw that, at some unknown point, Bo Saixi had already arrived nearby.
"You probably already understand the rules of the Sea God Sixth Test. I can tell you clearly that I will not hold back, and you have no restrictions. As long as you can use everything around you to survive in my hands for the duration of one incense stick, you will pass..."
"Of course, if you choose to defeat me head-on, the rewards you obtain will also be extraordinarily generous..."
When Bo Saixi said the last sentence, she glanced faintly at the group. The group seemed to feel an invisible, terrifying pressure enveloping them. For a moment, everyone even forgot to breathe.
After reacting, the group inexplicably found it somewhat amusing. Right now, just surviving in Bo Saixi's hands was already an extremely difficult task for them. Defeating Bo Saixi head-on was even more laughable...
Bo Saixi's expression did not change. Her gaze remained as calm as ever. Her deep blue pupils seemed even deeper than the sea, and the constant trace of compassion and kindness within them appeared to have been tempered by countless years. Just one glance would make people sink deeply into them, unable to extricate themselves.
"One final question: Are you truly prepared?"
"Once the arrow is loosed, there is no turning back. Once you choose to begin the sixth test, I will only give you ten seconds to distance yourselves from me. Everything else will depend entirely on fate..."
The group exchanged deep looks. Then Shui Bing'er gently bowed to Bo Saixi, and her soft voice carried far in the quiet environment...
"Senior, we have made our decision. Now, please begin our sixth test..."
Bo Saixi nodded gently. Her body slowly rose into the high sky. The compassion and kindness in her eyes also slowly faded, replaced by an indescribable aura of slaughter.
At Bo Saixi's current level, her every move could easily alter the weather. Even the surrounding climate would change in correspondence with her mood. But such changes were controllable. At this moment, the originally clear and boundless sky suddenly began to transform. Dark clouds rushed in rapidly from afar. Although there was no thunder, the entire world seemed filled with an indescribable sense of oppression and gloom.
"So terrifying. Even without releasing her martial soul or soul rings, just the pressure alone can rival the might brought by Sea Dragon Douluo using his martial soul true body. Is this the top powerhouse second only to my brother, as mentioned by my brother..."
Shen Liuyu reached out to resist the pressure coming from Bo Saixi, then quickly looked toward Shui Bing'er and said:
"Sister-in-law, the situation has changed..."
"If previously I was confident in buying you five seconds, now I'm afraid it won't even be three seconds..."
Shui Bing'er's expression was extremely grave. Above, Bo Saixi's nine soul rings had fully manifested beneath her feet, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, red. This was an almost unsolvable soul ring configuration apart from the group. Behind Bo Saixi, a hazy blue illusory figure holding a trident slowly appeared. Pressure at least three times stronger than before suddenly descended. For a moment, Ye Lingling, who had the poorest physical qualities, could not help but let out a muffled groan, and her face turned pale.
A drop of cold sweat slid down Shui Bing'er's perfect profile. Immediately, she said:
"A-Yu, act according to your ability. If it really doesn't work, we'll have to use the backup plan..."
Shen Liuyu took a deep breath, then swallowed hard. Almost instantly, eight soul rings rose beneath her feet. Immediately after, overwhelming black mist appeared with her body as the core and, in a short time, enveloped the entire base of Sea God Mountain.
Within the black mist, a faint blue light flickered. In a short time, the auras of the group disappeared without a trace.
Bo Saixi's gaze swept over the area below. Her spiritual power probed past, and then she frowned slightly, as if she had understood the group's intentions.
"Black mist and ice particles that can weaken spiritual power detection? Your idea is good, but unfortunately, in the face of absolute power, such actions appear somewhat futile..."
As her words fell, Bo Saixi slightly waved the scepter in her hand, and the first black soul ring beneath her feet also lit up.
"First soul skill, Surging Waves!"
Visibly to the naked eye, countless seawaters gathered from all directions and transformed into terrifyingly powerful giant waves that swept over, quickly submerging all the black mist within them.
Strands of black and blue energy slowly dissipated. The corners of Bo Saixi's mouth curved into a slight arc. Having lost these obstacles that restricted spiritual power detection, she discovered the group's location with extreme ease.
"It's over..."
Bo Saixi slowly raised the scepter in her hand and then swiftly spun and swung it. The heavens and earth changed color. A black-blue black hole slowly appeared in the sky above. Countless seawaters surged into the sky and were finally transformed by the black hole's enormous suction into a waterspout, rushing straight toward the group within the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
Accompanied by a flash of blue light, the towering waterspout rapidly carried everything into the black hole above. The surrounding scene was as terrifying as the end of the world.
This was Bo Saixi's sixth soul skill, Sea Burial, and it was also a unique spatial soul skill. If the opponent's soul power did not exceed Bo Saixi's, there was absolutely no possibility of breaking this soul skill and escaping.
It was not until all the seawater and chaos between heaven and earth had disappeared without a trace that Bo Saixi's figure slowly reappeared before everyone.
Looking at the sky in the distance gradually restoring to azure, Bo Saixi gently clenched her fist and then abruptly released it. In her perception, there were no longer any auras of the women between heaven and earth, as if everything had come to an end.
The figures of Shen Hanyu and his group slowly appeared. Surprisingly, there was not a trace of any other emotion on their faces. Everyone was terrifyingly calm.
The seven sacred pillar guardian Douluos of Sea God Island were all not far away. Facing such a situation, they were momentarily at a loss.
Bo Saixi let out a soft sigh, then turned her head to look at Shen Hanyu. Her expression did not change, and she simply said softly:
"All of this is my duty. My sixth soul skill connects to another plane. Everything has already become a foregone conclusion..."
Shen Hanyu still did not speak. Upon hearing Bo Saixi's words, he merely raised his eyes slightly, and a trace of change finally appeared on his face.
In the next moment, the wind and clouds shifted. A long spear flashing with brilliant radiance suddenly appeared in Shen Hanyu's hand. It was none other than the Hantian Spear.
Unlike before, the originally blue body of the Hantian Spear had now turned into a blue-white dual color. The spear's body was no longer as smooth as before but instead had an icy, dragon-scale-like texture.
Blood-colored patterns flowed within the crystal-like spear body, with faint dragon might visible. What shocked everyone the most was the full eighteen soul rings slowly emerging around Shen Hanyu.
A giant dragon of blue-red dual colors slowly crawled out from Shen Hanyu's spatial rift. After letting out a dragon roar capable of shaking the heavens, it slowly transformed into specks of energy that merged into the Hantian Spear. The eighteen varied soul rings dissipated. Immediately after, a cold light pierced through the dome of the sky and shot straight toward Bo Saixi.
Bo Saixi felt that power, which left her unable to raise even a shred of resistance. She merely let out a soft sigh and slowly closed her eyes, making no further resistance.
Just as she had said, no matter from which perspective, she absolutely could not hold back in this test. This was the faith she had upheld throughout her life. For this, she could abandon everything she had.
From the corner of her eye, she glanced back at the peak of Sea God Mountain, where Tang Chen stood holding their child. Facing this spear that could nearly pierce through planes, Tang Chen was likewise filled with despair.
Even at his peak, such a strike was something he could not block, let alone now when he could only be considered half-crippled.
The seven sacred pillar guardians, Douluos all stirred with emotion, but their strength was too weak. Even the aftershocks of this strike forced them to retreat and dodge, let alone rush forward to face it together with Bo Saixi...
Moments later, the Hantian Spear, carrying unparalleled sharpness, approached Bo Saixi directly. At this moment, almost everyone except Shen Hanyu's group involuntarily closed their eyes.
The crisp sound of space shattering echoed in everyone's ears. When they mustered the courage to open their eyes and look directly at everything, the scene they saw left them all momentarily stunned in place...
