Chapter 3389: Breakthrough to Black Rank!

At the same time!

The inhabitants of Sea God's Island also noticed the change in the glow...

"It turned black, it actually broke through the Black Rank, this is the same level as the Seven Sacred Pillars Lords!!"

"I never thought that in my lifetime, I would actually witness the birth of a Saint Pillar Candidate, even if I were to die now, it would be worth it!"

"I initially thought it was a Purple Rank Priest, but to think, he actually reached Black Rank, from now on, whenever we see him, we must address him as 'Lord'!"

"To attain the Black Rank as a Soul Master, one's talent must be at least enough to reach the realm of a Titled Douluo. It's just a pity we don't know who the other party is, otherwise we could have gone to pay our respects!"

"We can go have a look though, that place might be a forbidden area, but as long as we don't cross over, we should not offend the High Priest!!"

"That makes sense, so what are we waiting for, let's hurry up and go!"

Following this proposal, the Sea Soul Masters and civilians of Sea God's Island could no longer restrain their curiosity...

They grouped together and headed towards the direction of the forbidden area...

This scene was somewhat spectacular!

...

Sea Dragon Douluo, second in power only to the High Priest, also noticed that many presences were quickly approaching...

He immediately looked at Poseissi, "High Priest, it seems that Xu Sheng's Trial of the Sea God has caught the attention of the inhabitants of Sea God's Island, they are rapidly coming here!"

The latter was well aware and nodded, "Mm... Then I will leave this matter to you. After all, this place is a forbidden area and it's best not to let the civilians enter rashly!"

"If necessary, use force."

This place was called a forbidden area, not only because it was close to the palace where they lived...

But because there are still some undiscovered places here, where rashly intruding might very well cost one their life!

Sea Dragon Douluo naturally had no objections, immediately agreeing, "Yes, Grand Elder, leave it to me!"

Having said that, he released his Martial Soul and a giant dragon appeared beneath his feet. After jumping onto it, he quickly departed...

Seeing this, Sea Maiden Douluo couldn't help but inquire, "Grand Elder, I don't think there's a need to drive away the civilians, is there? Since they know this is a forbidden area, they shouldn't forcefully barge in!"

Sea Spear Douluo also had the same thought, "Hmm, they probably saw someone breaking through to the Black Rank during the Trial of the Sea God and want to see for themselves who it is, just let them look!"

Sea Horse Douluo, however, rolled her eyes and reminded them, "Sea Spear, Sea Maiden, if you can think of this, wouldn't the High Priest have also considered it? In my opinion, it's probably because Xu Sheng's identity is sensitive, and he's from outside Sea God's Island. If the residents were to learn about it, I'm afraid it might cause dissent!"

Starfish Douluo agreed, "Sea Horse is right, our Sea God's Island has never opened the Trial of the Sea God to outsiders before, this one time is an exception, it's better not to make it public!!!"

After all, Sea God's Island is very averse to outsiders!

Once they know about this, even if it doesn't cause any trouble, it's likely there will be complaints!

Poseissi sighed, "As long as you understand, as for the fact that Xu Sheng is participating in the Trial of the Sea God, do not let word spread!"

This was indeed what she was thinking!

...

Just as the inhabitants of Sea God's Island were about to enter the forbidden area, a sharp dragon's roar burst forth from the sky above...

Following that, Sea Dragon Douluo steadily jumped down from above...

Seeing him, the local residents all bent at the waist and said in unison, "Sea... Lord Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar!"

This was none other than the strongest Sacred Pillar on Sea God's Island besides the High Priest, it was inevitable to feel some reverence in their hearts!

The Sea Dragon Douluo, however, knew nothing of this pretense, and demanded coldly, "What are you all doing here? Don't you know this place is forbidden?"

As soon as these words left his mouth, an invisible pressure explosively burst forth…

Everyone did not dare to neglect his question and hurriedly began to explain…

"Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar sir, we had no intention of intruding into the forbidden area; we just wanted to see who has reached the Black Rank in the Trial of the Sea God!"

"That's right, that's right, anyone who can reach the Black Rank definitely has extraordinary talent, we were simply curious!"

"Sea Dragon Douluo, even if you did not come, we knew that ahead lies forbidden territory, and we would absolutely not venture in; we just wanted to take a look from the edge!"

The expression of the Sea Dragon Douluo remained as cold as ever, issuing another warning, "Outside the forbidden area, you may look as you please, but you are absolutely forbidden to enter!"

"Otherwise, if you anger the High Priest, you will not enjoy the consequences!"

Since they were part of Sea God's Island, it was only natural to follow the rules!

Otherwise, he had the authority to execute them on the spot!

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other and exchanged glances…

In their hearts, they couldn't help feeling fortunate that their numbers hadn't emboldened them to trespass into the forbidden area. Otherwise, had the Sea Dragon Douluo caught them in the act, they would not have emerged unscathed even if they had managed to avoid death!

The Seven Sacred Pillars were not only there to protect Sea God's Island, but also to maintain order, and when necessary, they could even lay hands on their kin!

Someone shouted loudly, "All teachers and students from the academies, follow me and resist with all your might; reinforcements from all the major forces have arrived! We must make the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters pay!!"

This statement reignited the hope for survival in those students and teachers, and transforming the previous tide of defeat, they began to counterattack...

The War God at the forefront of the War God Hall exuded a dense aura of grim determination, and announced loudly, "War God Temple Legion, heed my command: surround and annihilate the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters, show no mercy!"

The entire legion responded with an inspiring tone, "Yes!!"

Immediately after, they joined the battlefield at top speed, launching an attack on the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters...

Seeing that the War God Hall had begun to take action, Spirit Pagoda naturally would not sit idly by. Gu Yue, leading the charge, coldly ordered, "Disciples of Spirit Pagoda, heed my command: Assist the War God Temple Legion, eradicate the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters!"

The disciples she led received the order, and without further word, used their soul tools to strike at the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters…

With the aid of these two major forces, the entire course of the battle instantly shifted…

At the same time, Wu Changkong and others, who arrived later, also noticed her presence and immediately drew closer…

Xu Xiaoyan took the lead and said, "Gu Yue, I didn't expect you to be in command of the Spirit Pagoda's support team!"

Yue Zhengyu teased, "Let me think, how long has it been since the Martial Soul Contest, and you haven't returned to the academy even once, could it be that you've forgotten about us?"

Xu Lizhi said sincerely, "Mm-hmm, we've been worried about you!"

Gu Yue did not rush to respond but scanned the surroundings and did not find the familiar figure she had in mind…

Yuanen Yehui saw through her thoughts and explained, "Gu Yue, Wulin is currently at the Blacksmith Association and has not participated in this operation!

"Mm… I know, I just miss him a bit!"
