Chapter 210: Failure (Please Subscribe)_1
```
Upon stepping onto the first level, the soul power pressure was only equivalent to that of a Soul Master at about level ten or so…
For the people present, the lowest soul power rank was Titled Douluo! They started to climb without almost any pressure…
Ten levels…
Twenty levels…
Thirty levels…
The soul power pressure had reached around that of a Soul Ancestor…
Very quickly…
Fifty levels…
Eighty levels…
One hundred and twenty levels…
In an instant, the soul power pressure had gone from that of a Soul Ancestor to around that of a Soul Sage!!
One could imagine that they had only reached one-tenth of the staircase thus far!!
The gracefully shaped Poseissi walked towards Xu Sheng as if on level ground, her eyes calm as she said, "Xu Sheng, you should have adapted to the soul power pressure by now, right?"
Xu Sheng nodded, "Yeah!"
This pressure was different from that emitted by Soul Masters; it was formed by the soul power of the entire world compressing towards the center!
However, as for its intensity, there was almost no big difference…
Poseissi smiled slightly, "If that's the case, there's no need to hold back anymore. Follow me and head directly to the Sea God Temple at full speed."
The most important thing at the moment was to observe whether Xu Sheng could gain the recognition of the Sea God's Trident and, in doing so, inherit the godhood of the Sea God!
As for these pressure stairs, there was no need to cross them at such a slow pace, as that would waste a lot of time!
Xu Sheng didn't speak, just the corners of his mouth lifted slightly…
Seeing Xu Sheng like this, Poseissi's body erupted with the terrifying soul power fluctuations of a level-99 Ultimate Douluo…
The next moment, she charged upwards with light steps…
Xu Sheng also hurriedly rushed up…
…
The speed at which the two of them overcame the levels was so fast it was almost impossible to catch their figures…
Two hundred levels…
Two hundred and fifty levels…
…
Six hundred and fifty levels!
Seven hundred levels!!
When he reached the seven hundredth level, Xu Sheng paused for a moment, feeling a pressure equivalent to that of a Super Douluo level!
His gaze followed the still rapidly advancing Poseissi…
As if sensing something, she turned and looked at Xu Sheng, then smiled faintly before continuing her surge forward…
After biting his thin lips, Xu Sheng hurriedly followed after her…
…
Eight hundred and ninety levels!
…
Nine hundred and fifty levels!
…
Nine hundred and ninety-eight levels!
At this moment, the stair's soul power pressure had reached the intensity of an Ultimate Douluo!!
Then, Xu Sheng wiped his forehead and stepped onto the nine hundred and ninety-ninth level!
```
In an instant, his breathing grew rapidly ragged, feeling as if a small mountain had been placed upon him....
Standing at exactly the one thousandth step, at the entrance to the Sea Soul Temple, Poseissi's gaze fixed on Xu Sheng who was only a step away.
The latter's strength did not seem like it was merely at the level 98! It was no less than a level-99 Ultimate Douluo!
He had actually managed to charge from the first to the nine hundred and ninety-ninth step in one go!
However, the difference between the one thousandth step and the nine hundred and ninety-ninth was a qualitative leap, and even she herself felt an immense pressure when she stepped upon it!
When Xu Sheng gritted his teeth and set his right leg upon the one thousandth step, he couldn't help but tremble slightly…
In the next moment, his entire body burst forth with the Killing God Field to slightly alleviate the pressure…
Then with a "thump!" he firmly stepped onto the one thousandth step of the staircase and reached the entrance to the Sea God Temple!!
"Xu Sheng, not bad, your strength is indeed stronger than I anticipated!"
Facing Xu Sheng, if it were not on the surface of the water, even she would not be very confident in defeating him!
It was enough to see the strength of the latter!
Xu Sheng spoke, interrupting Poseissi's thoughts, "Grand Elder, let's go. I am very interested in this super divine weapon!"
Xu Sheng did not need the First-Level God Position of the Sea God, after all, he himself had two Divine King level godhoods, wasn't that enticing enough?
Why go after a slightly stronger First-Level God?
But then again, the Sea God's Trident was a different matter, aside from his second Martial Soul, Xu Sheng did not have any other weapon that suited him.
And no matter how it was said, the power of a super divine weapon was basically stronger than that of a Martial Soul!
Poseissi nodded, and with a plain "Hm!" led the way into the Sea God Temple, filled with Divine Power!
…
As the two slowly approached the Sea God Temple, they saw countless ancient scrolls within it emitting dazzling golden light!
The entire Sea God Temple seemed bathed in an incomparably holy aura…
Their eyes looked toward the center of the Sea God Temple, where a Crystal Coffin was placed...!
Poseissi's gaze grew sharp, and she walked over to it, then looked back at Xu Sheng and explained, "Xu Sheng, inside is the super divine weapon exclusive to the Sea God, the Sea God's Trident!"
Hearing this, Xu Sheng approached with slow steps, his indifferent gaze examining the Crystal Coffin before him…
"Xu Sheng, try to merge your Soul Power and spiritual power into the coffin to communicate with it!"
After explaining what to do, Poseissi took two steps back…
Whether he qualified to inherit the Sea God's position would depend on the outcome in the next second!
Xu Sheng fell silent, then stretched out his hand to caress the Crystal Coffin…
The next second, he eagerly poured his Soul Power and spiritual power into the coffin…
The entire Crystal Coffin started to emit a pale blue mist which kept floating up…
Soon, the lid of the coffin lifted by itself, making a "Crack~" noise as it unveiled what was inside…
Seeing the lid fall on its own, Poseissi's eyes narrowed slightly, and she said with gravity, "Is this a success?"
Xu Sheng's gaze shifted downwards slightly, looking into the Crystal Coffin, where a Sea God's Trident radiating a strong aura rested peacefully…
If one observed closely, the whole Trident was pitch black, with sharp short blades on both sides, and a central main blade as long as two feet and about half a foot wide, looking quite elegant; of course, if one disregarded the short blades, it was more like a Longsword!!
Xu Sheng's eyes shone with a burning passion as he thought to himself, "Sea God's Trident, don't let this trip be in vain!"
Decisively, he reached out his hand to grasp the Sea God's Trident…
Grasping the hilt of the Sea God's Trident, Xu Sheng unleashed his strongest force, attempting to lift it up…
But even with all his might, he only felt as if the Sea God's Trident weighed tens of thousands of pounds and didn't budge at all, clearly, Xu Sheng had failed!
Xu Sheng frowned, pondering, "How can it be so heavy? Is it because the Sea God's Trident does not recognize me?"
Seeing this, Poseissi sighed and shook her head, "Did you fail?"
The Sea God's Trident, only when lifted by someone it recognizes would its weight decrease; otherwise, it would be as heavy as tens of thousands of pounds!!
No matter how many people tried, they would hardly be able to move it an inch!
