Chapter 182 New Mission, Severely Weaken the Invading Enemy_2

"Bossi also said, and it was written in the original work, that the Sea God's Trident should be right here."

Qin Xiao looked up at the one thousand and one steps in front of him, gazing at the Sea God Temple at the summit and took his first step.

Quite unexpectedly.

Qin Xiao discovered that the Sea God's Light, which used to bring pressure to those undergoing trials, unexpectedly had no effect on him.

"This saves me a lot of trouble."

"The Sea God is keeping up with the times, knowing there's a crisis, and has loosened his policies, after all."

A trace of joy flashed across Qin Xiao's face as he quickened his pace.

Soon, Qin Xiao had ascended the one thousand and one steps and arrived outside the Sea God Temple.

When he had first come here, Bossi had walked out of the Sea God Temple, dissuading him from entering to take a look around. This time, however, no one stopped him.

Pushing open the temple doors and walking into the Sea God Temple, Qin Xiao's sight darkened.

Contrary to the glittering splendor he had imagined, the mighty Sea God Temple could be adequately described as 'plain.'

It was empty, or rather, spacious.

The lighting also appeared quite dim.

Looking around, the grand hall contained nothing but eight platforms.

Seven of the platforms formed a circle as if to guard the one in the center.

And at the very center of the central platform stood a long staff erected upright, yet not quite regular, with a larger, conical top, painted entirely black.

"The Sea God's Trident!"

Qin Xiao's gaze became intensely fervent.

He knew the iron staff on the central platform was caused by the Sea God's Trident being inserted upside down.

With a powerful step, Qin Xiao, as if possessing the ability to shrink distances, instantly arrived in front of the Sea God's Trident.

Without any hesitation, he lifted both hands and firmly grasped the handle of the Sea God's Trident.

He immediately received feedback from the Sea God's Trident, as if a current of electricity spread throughout his body. Followed by that, a warm sensation came from the handle, then the temperature rose at an astonishing speed.

"It begins."

Qin Xiao's brows furrowed, his face filled with a solemn expression.

He knew the Sea God's Trident was about to display its divine might, and he also began to exert his strength.

"Rise!"

At his roaring command, soul power and the strength of his body erupted together.

The first soul ring flared, and a three-to-five-meter tall Thunder Titan appeared behind Qin Xiao.

A mysterious force within the Sea God Temple weakened the power of Qin Xiao's soul skill significantly.

Just like Qin Xiao, the Thunder Titan gripped the Sea God's Trident and exerted force together.

Just then.

The Trident began to rise, little by little.

"Not enough!"

Qin Xiao's heart stirred, and his ninth soul ring shone with an astonishing light.

Quickly, a suit of Thunder Armor appeared on Qin Xiao, further elevating his aura.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, the trident mark on Qin Xiao's forehead began to glow, and streaks of golden light poured into the Sea God's Trident, lightening the weight in Qin Xiao's hands.

This was the advantage brought by the Sea God Affinity.

"Again!"

Gathering his strength once more, the effect was considerably better than before.

If before Qin Xiao's efforts had lifted the Trident only centimeter by centimeter, now the Sea God's Trident began to be pulled out at a speed of ten centimeters at a time.

At some point, Qin Xiao's palms were torn open.

He endured as if he couldn't feel the pain at all, teeth clenched in persistence.

There was only one chance, and no matter the difficulty, he wouldn't give up.

As time passed, more and more blood flowed from his palms, trickling down the handle of the Trident.

Wherever the fresh blood flowed over, magical runes flashed on the Trident, emanating gold and red light.

Gradually, the true face of the Trident was revealed before Qin Xiao's eyes.

The Trident looked quite natural and similar to a fork.

However, the main blade and the two side blades of the Trident were like sharp swords, irresistibly sharp.

When a triangular slot was exposed on the Trident, changes occurred once more.

The Boundless Universe Shield flew out from between Qin Xiao's eyebrows and fitted precisely into the slot.

Click!

With a clear sound, the Trident began to burst forth brilliant golden radiance.

The once pitch-black hall seemed to be ignited by that golden light, brilliantly illuminated.

"It hardly weighs anything!"

"Just over a hundred pounds, actually."

Qin Xiao's eyes were filled with amazement as he suddenly raised the Sea God's Trident high above!

An unprecedented sacred aura burst forth from the Sea God's Trident, transforming into a massive pillar of light that soared into the sky, reaching the apex of the temple, while dragon-like trembles continuously erupted from the Trident.

...

The battle between Bossi and Tang Chen had cast a gloom over the skies of Sea God's Island, creating a sense of oppression.

But at that moment, the Sea God Temple lit up, the magnificent sanctuary emanating a strong golden light, illuminating Sea God Mountain and seemingly the entire Sea God's Island.

The thick golden pillar of light surged into the sky, dazzling and brilliant.

...

"What's happening!"

Tang Chen, brandishing the Asura Devil Sword, unleashed a hundred-meter-long edge that repelled Bossi and then retreated a hundred meters himself, turning his head towards Sea God's Island.

His eyes were filled with shock and confusion.

Bossi, who had first fallen into the sea, then reemerged above the surface, let out a slow breath, her face flashing with a look of relief.

She knew that Qin Xiao had successfully pulled out the Sea God's Trident, and now it was time for retaliation.

"What is this!"

"Could it be that the Sea God has noticed the crisis on Sea God's Island and has manifested himself!"

"...."

The Seven Sacred Pillar Protectors were also stunned.

Suddenly.

A look of surprise crossed all seven of their faces.

Through the connection of the Seven Sacred Pillars, they already knew what had happened.

At the same time, the Seven Sacred Pillars of the Sea God on the island also lit up, seven streams of golden light of varying thickness surged from different directions. They merged with the golden light erupting from the Sea God Temple, coalescing into a towering figure in mid-air!

He was clad in golden armor, holding a golden Trident that seemed capable of cleaving heaven and earth.

"Sea God!"

"Sea God!"

"...."

Although the towering figure in the sky was indiscernible in features, the Seven Sacred Pillar Protectors all knew that it was the Sea God they had worshipped for countless years.

The only true form of the Sea God, revered by countless sea citizens and Sea Soul Masters.

Almost in unison, they knelt down devoutly, their fervent gazes filled with an intense glow, worshipping the illusion in the sky.

The might of the Sea God was visible for miles.

Countless sea citizens and Sea Soul Masters knelt to the ground, offering their devout faith.

Even among the sea soul beasts, there were not a few who believed in the Sea God.

For instance, the Devil Soul Great White Shark clan and the sea soul beasts ruled by the Devil Soul Great White Shark clan.

"The Sea God, could he really be descending?"

Tang Chen also saw the golden phantom and his brow furrowed tighter.

He couldn't help muttering to himself, "Are you going to interfere in matters of Soul Land as well? Surely not?"

After all, the Sea God was a high and mighty deity; didn't he care for his dignity?

...

Inside the Sea God Temple, the divine glow from the Trident in Qin Xiao's hand gradually retracted.

At this moment, the Sea God's Trident in his hand had changed its appearance.

The black color that was originally on the Sea God's Trident had completely vanished, leaving only the brilliant golden light. Each golden line was so clear, extending all the way to the tip.

The Boundless Universe Shield, transformed into a diamond-shaped gem, was embedded in the mid-lower part of it. Qin Xiao also noticed strands of fine golden light, like filaments, rushing from all directions, continuously merging into the Boundless Universe Shield.

No.

It should be said that they were continuously merging into the heart of the Sea God.

Qin Xiao reached out with his left hand but touched nothing.

His hand passed through the golden filaments.

"Could this be the legendary power of faith?"

Qin Xiao's gaze flashed as he withdrew his hand.

[Sea God's Fifth Trial: Extraction of the Divine Artifact, the Sea God's Trident, completed. Reward: Increase in Sea God Affinity by fifteen percent. Reward: Right to use the Sea God's Trident.]

Indeed, such was the reward...

Qin Xiao was not surprised by this.

"Tang Chen, prepare to receive my return gift!" Qin Xiao's eyes flashed fiercely.

But, the next moment, the impending sixth trial took Qin Xiao by surprise.
