Chapter 525: Sea God Hall, Explosive Extraordinary Performance!_1
The six rainbow lights came to a stop in front of Luo Yu and the others.
As the rainbow lights faded, six teams appeared, each led by a robust, black-clad Soul Master.
All the members of these teams were young Soul Masters from the island.
"Sea Dragon Douluo, Sea Star Douluo, Sea Illusion Douluo... we pay our respects to the High Priest!"
The six black-clad Soul Masters stepped forward in unison to pay their respects, and in Luo Yu's eyes, each one exuded an aura that was no less than that of the Sea Horse Douluo.
That is to say, each was a powerhouse of the Titled Douluo rank.
Among them, Sea Dragon Douluo's cultivation level even surpassed level ninety-five.
"You may dispense with the formalities," High Priest Feng Yin's voice boomed, exuding authority.
Sea Dragon Douluo said reverently, "Reporting to the High Priest, we each lead a team of young Soul Masters above the purple rank to participate in the first trial of the Sea God's Light."
Poseissi nodded slightly without replying.
Sea Dragon Douluo said no more; after giving a bow, he retreated back into his team.
Curious, he glanced at Luo Yu. He did not understand what made this youth qualified to stand beside the High Priest.
What right did he have?
It was a position that even he himself was not worthy of approaching.
It wasn't until his gaze fell upon the golden glow of the Sea God's Trident on Luo Yu's forehead that his pupils dilated in shock, then quickly contracted.
His heart was in turmoil.
No way, has the Sea God's inheritance appeared?
Could it be that the anomaly on the island earlier was the doing of this youth?
That must be it, it's definitely so.
Sea Dragon Douluo had intended to inquire about this matter with the other black-clad Soul Masters, but it now seemed unnecessary.
With this thought, Sea Dragon Douluo inwardly smiled wryly.
He had assumed this youth was merely a little brother,
only to find out that it was a big daddy who arrived.
No, daddy isn't enough, this is grandpa, the ancestor!
No wonder Sea Dragon Douluo was so perturbed; he was more aware than the other black-clad Soul Masters of the importance of the Sea God's inheritor.
At this moment, Sea Illusion Douluo approached Sea Dragon Douluo, his towering frame as powerful as an ox.
"Old Dragon, what merit does that boy have to be so brazenly close to the High Priest? None of us have that privilege."
Sea Dragon Douluo did not respond to him; instead, he quietly shifted to the side, widening the gap between them and dissociating himself.
Sea Illusion Douluo had yet to realize something was amiss.
He followed closely, patting his shoulder.
"Old Dragon, we haven't seen each other in a while, why don't you want to talk to your brother?"
Sea Dragon Douluo's mouth twitched, 'Who the hell is your brother, don't casually claim kinship, who knows if the inheritor of the Sea God across from you can hear you insulting him.'
What if this one holds grudges?
Seeing that a few words wouldn't do, Sea Illusion Douluo seemed likely to nag incessantly, Sea Dragon Douluo looked down and glared fiercely at him.
"Are you blind or what?"
"Can't you see the big Sea God's Trident mark right there?"
"Huh? Isn't the Trident displayed in the temple on that Island within an Island up ahead?" Sea Illusion Douluo said blankly.
Sea Dragon Douluo sighed and said helplessly, "You're not of an age to be senile, so how come you've gone blind?"
"Old Dragon, why do you speak like that, in such a strange tone?" Sea Illusion Douluo's face changed.
Sea Dragon Douluo patted his shoulder.
"If you're really blind, you might as well gouge out your eyeballs and play with them; at least they'd serve some purpose."
Sea Illusion Douluo became annoyed, with Soul Power surging around him and his forehead's veins bulging.
Just as he was about to fly into a rage and demand an explanation, he suddenly noticed Sea Dragon Douluo covertly pointing in a direction.
Following the direction of the finger, he saw the unusual mark on Luo Yu's forehead.
He was thunderstruck.
And there he stood, dumbfounded.
"This... this... this must be fake, right?"
Sea Illusion Douluo looked incredulously at Sea Dragon Douluo, then quickly turned his head back to Luo Yu.
His eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost.
He lowered his voice, utterly shocked.
"Damn, it's actually the Sea God's inheritance."
"You're at least a Pillar Guardian, can't you start with something more elegant than a lovely 'damn'?" The Sea Star Douluo came over and scolded.
The Sea Illusion Douluo said, "Did you hear what I said just now?"
"Isn't it just the Sea God's inheritance?" the Sea Star Douluo repeated nonchalantly.
"Eh? Just that?" The Sea Illusion Douluo and the Sea Dragon Douluo looked at her strangely.
Only then did the Sea Star Douluo pay attention to what she had said, following the direction pointed by the other two, her gaze landed on Luo Yu.
"Damn..."
"Heh," the Sea Illusion Douluo sneered.
He didn't speak, but it was as if everything had been said.
The three Pillar Guardians noticed Luo Yu's presence, and the other three guardians also gathered in the distance, staring at Luo Yu with astonishment.
They clearly recognized the issue.
At the same time, they instructed the youngsters behind them to behave, warning them not to foolishly provoke the young man with the golden marking on his forehead, or no one would care even if you were beaten to death.
In two words, a pointless death.
Luo Yu gazed at the island within an island in the distance, taking in the entire scene.
The glittering Circular Sea was vast, the surrounding small islands were quite high, at least five hundred meters, reaching straight into the clouds and exuding strange colors with a divine aura spilling out.
A staircase, white as jade, clearly rose straight to the top of the small island.
At the top of the island stood a magnificent temple, its shining walls and domed roofs drawing in the sky's twilight glow.
The temple's exterior was constructed of white stone pillars, the entire material crystal clear, filled with a sacred breath.
"Is that Sea God Hall? It's so beautiful." Purple Pearl's eyes were completely captivated by the beauty before her.
Poseissi's red lips parted, offering an explanation.
"Yes, that is our Sea God Island's sacred ground, the temple venerating Sea God. This island within an island is the true Sea God's Island."
She deliberately shifted her gaze to observe Luo Yu's expression.
But she found that this guy, upon witnessing such a wondrous sight, did not show any signs of amazement, still as composed and mature as ever.
Not a ripple crossed his face.
Could this guy really feel no surprise at all?
Poseissi found it hard to believe.
"We should set foot on the island now, right? We can't stay here to face the trial," Luo Yu urged.
Taking a deep breath, Poseissi swallowed back what she was about to say.
"Let's go!"
She once again circulated her Soul Power to lift everyone up, crossing the Circular Sea and standing at the foot of the jade-carved staircase.
Poseissi pointed upward.
"Above is the Sea God Hall; only the guardians of Sea God Island who have passed the purple rank assessment of Sea God could step onto these stairs and enter the temple to worship without the oppression of Sea God's Light."
"Otherwise, like you who have not been assessed, will be blocked by Sea God's Light."
"Those who wish to attempt the assessment may now ascend," she said.
Luo Yu and the others looked in the direction she indicated.
As expected.
Directly below the Divine Mountain's Sea God Hall, a flight of jade steps extended downwards, reflecting the light under the glow of the evening sun.
They looked like a jade ribbon gently laid upon Sea God Mountain.
"Let's go."
Luo Yu did not dilly-dally and called out to Poseissi before setting foot on the island.
"Ah?"
Poseissi's delicate body trembled.
"You're not going to prepare?"
Luo Yu said in surprise, "Aren't they just steps? What's difficult about that, if we've got feet, can't we just walk up?"
Upon hearing this, everyone around was startled.
