"Fusion God Examination, the sixth test, has been successfully passed! Reward: Soul Ring age increased by 50,000 years! Soul Power rank increased to level 99! Evolution of the Sea God's Trident: Destruction Trident!"
After dealing with the corpse of the Second-Level God, a mechanical voice echoed in Xu Sheng's mind…
Xu Sheng exclaimed, "This Destruction God really is domineering, forcibly assimilating the Sea God's Trident into the Destruction Trident!"
Doesn't this mean that from now on, the Destruction Trident will be completely mine? Even if the Sea God himself came, there would be nothing he could do!
However, I have been using the Sea God's Trident for so long, the Sea God must have noticed it!
As for why he hasn't come down, it's probably another one of the Destruction God's doings!
"Fusion God Examination, the seventh test! Hunt the Deepsea Devil Whale King within three days!"
...…
The Sea Horse Douluo, leading Tang San and the others, arrived below the Sea God Temple, where countless stairs lay before them, accompanied by a strong looming pressure…
Tang San and the other Shrek members carefully examined these stairs…
Ma Hongjun exclaimed in astonishment, "Wow! Such long stairs, there must be at least a thousand steps, right?"
Oscar sighed, "I also think there might be a thousand steps. Just climbing these stairs could exhaust us to death!"
Tang San's Purple Demon Eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a furrowed brow and solemn tone, "No... it's not that simple here! There seems to be a strong pressure on the stairs around us!"
Dai Mubai, after hearing Tang San's words, asked in surprise, "Xiaosan, do you mean there's a pressure similar to that of a powerful being throughout these stairs?"
Tang San nodded, "Hmm, I'm afraid that is the case!"
He wasn't sure about the specifics, but was certain that ascending these stairs would be far from easy!
Sea Horse Douluo, upon hearing Tang San's analysis, looked at him with an appreciative gaze…
Truly worthy of being the man of the Sea God's Nine Quests, able to analyze so clearly without even attempting it yet!
Then, in a gentle voice, he said, "This place is the Sea God Temple, and it also represents your first trial, which will take place here! As for the specific content of the god trial, you should be well aware!"
Ma Hongjun widened his eyes, "What? Our god trial is just these stairs?"
Could this god trial be underestimating the seven members of Shrek?
Oscar also spread his hands dismissively and said, "Sea Horse Senior, have you mistaken something? Stairs like these, they're not challenging at all!"
"Even I could easily climb them."
As he spoke, Oscar, as if to prove himself, firmly stepped onto the first stair…
All eyes were on Oscar…
His expression turned solemn as he explained to the others, "These stairs have pressure!"
Upon hearing this, Tang San thought to himself, "As expected!"
Sea Horse Douluo nodded his head, adding, "That's right, these steps all possess the pressure left by the Sea God! And with each level, the pressure increases substantially over the previous one!"
He then added, "Even when I exert my full strength, I can only barely reach around the three hundredth step!"
Upon hearing this, all the Shrek members were dumbstruck!
Ning Rongrong said in shock, "What? Are you kidding? Even with Sea Horse Senior's Titled Douluo strength, he can only reach the three hundredth step??"
Oscar shivered on the side, "Then the pressure from the stairs further up must be terrifyingly strong??"
Dai Mubai clenched his fists, his eyes blazing with a fighting spirit as he said, "I wonder how high we can go with our current strength?"
Tang San swallowed and speculated, "If Sea Horse Senior can only reach the three hundredth step, then considering that every step's pressure is stronger than the last, we can probably only make it to around the sixtieth or seventieth step at most!"
Zhu Zhuqing said coldly, "Stop talking so much! Wouldn't we know if we just try?"
Immediately, she turned into an elegant Spiritual Cat and dashed towards the stairs…
Suddenly…
She broke through ten steps with ease…
Quickly, she passed the twentieth step…
When Zhu Zhuqing reached the thirtieth step, her speed began to slow down…
Stepping onto the fortieth step, Zhu Zhuqing frowned…
At the fiftieth step, the pressure surged! Zhu Zhuqing's delicate body began to wobble…
As she was about to step onto the sixtieth floor, a powerful pressure shook her and she fell back to the fifty-ninth floor!
She slowly turned to look at Tang San and the others, shaking her head slowly...
The pressure increased with each floor; by the time it reached the sixtieth floor, the pressure was almost at the Soul Sage level!!
Especially when approaching the breakthroughs at the thirtieth and fortieth floors, where the pressure increased the most!
Dai Mubai said, "Even Zhu Qing could only reach the sixtieth floor; I fear that I, too, will not be able to reach the sixty-fifth floor!"
Ma Hongjun's face looked grim as he said, "Then I should only be able to hit the fiftieth floor!"
Ning Rongrong's eyes shone with light, "I should probably only be able to reach the fortieth floor as well!"
"Xiaowu, this Soul Power staircase shouldn't have any adverse effects on you, right?"
Xiaowu had not yet reached the Soul Sage level and had not truly transformed into human form.
So Tang San was somewhat afraid that the Soul Power staircase might deliver an immeasurable blow to a soul beast!
Xiaowu glanced at the staircase and explained to Tang San, "I'm fine, the Soul Power staircase does not repel me!"
Upon hearing this, Tang San nodded, looked at the other Shrek members, and said, "Let's go, everyone! Just push to your limits!"
The other Shrek members nodded in agreement, "Mm!"
The next moment, they all charged up full of fighting spirit...
Dai Mubai: Sixty-third floor!
Zhu Zhuqing: Fifty-ninth floor!
Tang San: Sixty-fifth floor!
Xiaowu: Fifty-seventh floor!
Oscar: Fifty-second floor!
Ning Rongrong: Fiftieth floor!
Ma Hongjun: Fifty-fifth floor!
Seeing where the Shrek members finally stopped, the Sea Horse Douluo couldn't help but be speechless...
These kids had all managed to stay on a floor nearly one level higher than their own Soul Power rank...
However, although climbing was difficult, cultivating on these Soul Power staircases could greatly increase their cultivation speed!
Thus, he reminded them, "You little fellows, try to resist the pressure while cultivating, it will have a speeding effect on your cultivation!"
The Shrek members above, upon hearing this, swayed and sat down crossed-legged, and then began to cultivate their Soul Power...
However, just a moment of inattention, and they were again disrupted by the pressure...
Trying to resist the pressure while cultivating was not a simple matter!
The Sea Horse Douluo smiled, shook his head helplessly, and said, "It seems these little fellows will still need some time to complete the first test!"
The next moment, he decisively turned and left the place...
...
Outside the Tiandou Empire, in a hidden forest...
The thousands of clansmen of the Hao Tian Clan were taking refuge there!
One Hao Tian Sect Elder turned to look at Tang Chen beside him and said, "Sect Master, the Tiandou Empire is now under the control of the Martial Soul Hall, it seems they are preparing to move against the Xingluo Empire!"
Another Elder said through clenched teeth, "And the Xingluo Empire's high-end combat power is already weak, and now a portion of Soul Masters are rapidly deserting, I fear..."
The unification of the Continent by the Martial Soul Hall would be a disaster for them too!
Tang Chen sighed, "What we need to do now is to wait for their return! Maybe a few years... maybe decades..."
The only hope now was that Tang San would obtain the God Position and reach the Titled Douluo level!
Only then would there be a chance to reverse the situation!
Otherwise, everything is in vain.
