Chương 87: Poseidon Island

On the vast sea, an island with a diameter of four hundred miles stands.

This is the legendary place where the sea god became a god—Sea God Island, also known as Devil Island.

It is also the place where the current position of the sea god is passed down.

This is the sacred land of Sea Soul Masters, with seven sacred pillar cities and Sea God Mountain located on the island. Each sacred pillar is guarded by a Title Douluo.

At the summit of Mount Poseidon lies the Stairway to the Sea God's Light. Above the stairway is the Temple of Poseidon, where Poseidon's High Priestess usually resides.

The Spirit Hall once sent two thousand spirit masters here in an attempt to incorporate them into their ranks. However, none returned alive; fewer than a hundred survived. Two titled Douluo even perished here.

"How much do you know about the sea god?" Richard asked, looking at the island before him.

"Poseidon, that guy's incredibly flamboyant. He made a huge commotion when he became a god. We could sense it even in the far north," the Ice Emperor replied.

"Well, and then? Is there anything else specific? Like his abilities or something?" Richard continued to ask.

"Ah, I don't know. We've been staying in the far north and have never come out, how would we know?"

Hyotei clapped their hands, indicating that they didn't know.

As for Xue Di, seeing her equally confused look, Richard didn't have any expectations for her either.

Forget it, I won't ask anymore. We'll find out when the time comes. It's just a battle of water-based laws, right? I'm not afraid of him.

On this day, Seagod Island, which had been deserted for a long time, welcomed a new land-based Soul Master.

Three people who looked young arrived here: one man and two women.

It was Richard, Hyotei, and Yuki-tei.

Having made all the necessary preparations, he was finally ready to test the gods of this world.

The first one he chose was the sea god.

For Richard, who is well-versed in the laws of water, Poseidon, the god of the sea, is a target he would not miss.

Similarly, the positions of gods such as the Wind God, Earth God, Fire God, Life God King, and Destruction God King in the divine realm are all targets he doesn't want to miss.

Looking back at the past, this world does not have any deities specifically related to time and space.

This was especially regrettable for Richard.

That makes sense, though. If there is a God of Time and Space, then it wouldn't make sense for him not to be a God-King. He might even transcend the God-King level and become a Supreme God.

It's really hard to say who will be on whom at that point.

The three were quickly discovered by the sea god warriors on patrol.

Poseidon Island doesn't completely oppose the arrival of land-based Soul Masters. However, they must pass the island's assessment; otherwise, they will be expelled.

Therefore, the sea god warriors here did not drive them away the moment they saw them.

Instead, he planned to take the three of them to participate in the assessment.

But Richard is here to cause trouble, so how could he possibly participate in the assessment obediently?

So he released several holy-level magical beasts, which spent their days eating and sleeping in his little world, growing quite fat. Anyone who didn't know better would think they were the masters.

It's time to get back to work.

As soon as the few holy-level magical beasts appeared, the Sea God warriors' expressions changed instantly, realizing that these guys were up to no good.

Since the magical beasts Richard chose were all quite large, as they were intended to serve as both fighters and mounts, they were naturally chosen for their imposing size and power.

Therefore, each one is at least tens of meters long, and some are even over a hundred meters long.

After they were released, just standing here was incredibly oppressive.

These sea god warriors mistook several sacred-level magical beasts for soul beasts of this world. Given their enormous size, although they didn't recognize these soul beasts, they figured they must be at least ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts.

Unable to restrain themselves, they launched the first attack.

On this Poseidon Island, they fear no enemy.

The entire Poseidon Island has thousands of Poseidon warriors and numerous sacred pillars. If they can hold out for a while, given the sheer size of these soul beasts and the fact that the others aren't blind, they will soon come to their aid.

In fact, they were right; a steady stream of people came to provide support.

However, their strength was far too weak compared to these sacred-level magical beasts. On average, they were only at the level of Soul Venerable or Soul Sect Master, and in the Panlong World, they would probably only be at level four or five.

With this level of strength, they could barely even scratch these holy-level magical beasts.

Although the soul skills in this world are quite diverse, with various mechanisms emerging one after another.

Unfortunately, the numerical difference was too great, so even the most ingenious mechanism was ineffective.

The released magical beasts of the Holy Land worked hard, trying to impress Richard and hoping to gain the appreciation of this god-level powerhouse.

For these holy-level magical beasts, being forced to sign a master-servant contract by a powerhouse of the same level is a disgrace, but being chosen by a god-level powerhouse and signing a master-servant contract is a different matter.

Therefore, they had no complaints about being captured by Richard and forced to sign a master-servant contract.

Furthermore, Richard promised that he would help those who contributed the most to become gods, based on their future contributions.

Although they all thought Richard was just making empty promises, if he really had the chance to become a god, he would definitely give it to his own family members first.

But what if? Who can predict the future? What if an opportunity arises? If you don't show your abilities now, you might miss out when it comes.

So they had been eagerly anticipating their chance to impress Richard.

Unfortunately, Richard never needed them on a regular basis.

Now that I've finally been released to work, of course I have to work hard!

Good performance doesn't guarantee you'll be remembered, but what if you perform poorly and are remembered? You'll be immediately excluded from the list.

And so, as more and more sea god warriors surged forward, more and more fell.

Soon, the Title Douluos of the Seven Sacred Pillars arrived. They had already noticed this place; with so many large-sized soul beasts, it was hard not to notice them.

I originally thought that with so many Poseidon warriors arriving, the problem would be solved quickly.

Because the gap between the strong and the weak in this world isn't that large. Even a Title Douluo would be overwhelmed by so many Sea God Warriors.

Unexpectedly, as time went on, the problem was not solved; instead, the Sea God Warriors were almost completely wiped out.

Therefore, they had no choice but to step in and solve the problem.

What puzzled them was that there were clearly sea spirit beasts among these spirit beasts. The land spirit beasts might not know the situation here, which was why they dared to cause trouble.

But how could the Sea Spirit Beast not know the situation on Seagod Island? This is the Seagod's territory.

How did those large land-based spirit beasts get to Seagod Island? Are there ships of that size in the world that can transport them here?

And what is the relationship between those three people at the beginning and these spirit beasts? Since when were humans allowed to command spirit beasts?

What are these people's motives?

They weren't stupid; sea god warriors had already come to report the relevant information to them.

So after several sacred pillars were brought over, four people were sent to stop the soul beasts.

The other three went straight towards Richard and his companions, intending to capture them first.

Whatever their purpose, capturing the leader first is always the right approach.

"Do you know what you're doing? Make those soul beasts stop right now."

Continuing to offend the sea god will only lead to your death. Stop now, and perhaps we can spare your lives to atone for your sins.

"Sea Dragon Douluo said to Richard and the others."

He is the strongest of the Seven Pillars, and he usually takes charge of affairs on the island when the High Priest Poseidon is not in charge.

"Putting aside the question of whether we'll be spared or not, are you sure you want to let those four people stop my men?"

"You'll die." Richard pointed at the magical beasts.

"Subordinate? You're a soul beast?" Sea Dragon Douluo was taken aback.

As the de facto person in charge of Poseidon Island, he also knew many secrets.

For example, after 100, 000 years, soul beasts develop intelligence comparable to humans and can continue cultivating to overcome the ferocious beast tribulation. They can also transform into human form.

He thought Richard was a ferocious beast disguised as a human.

In this world, the distinction between spirit beasts and humans is very clear, and very few spirit beasts will obey human commands.

"You're the soul beast. Let's not dwell on this, okay? Soul beast or human, if you don't go over there soon, your four Title Douluos will be beaten to death," Richard said irritably.

Looking back, Hailong Douluo saw that his four Title Douluos were indeed in dire straits. Their strength was already insufficient, and now they were being attacked by a concentrated barrage of attacks from these Saint-level magical beasts.

Now things are fraught with danger.

Without any more support, it really feels dangerous.

However, Sea Dragon Douluo knew his own limitations. Although he was the strongest among the Seven Sacred Pillars, he wasn't much stronger than the others.

Even the two weakest among the others combined are no match for him.

Even if I take the remaining three to provide support, we might not be a match for these soul beasts.

It's better to take a gamble and capture the leader first. If we capture the people in front of us, the soul beasts will naturally stop.

Although this guy referred to those soul beasts as his subordinates, as far as he knew, ferocious beasts that were over 100, 000 years old had to start cultivating again before they could take human form.

Maybe this guy is just a show-off and doesn't have much real ability.

Even if all else fails, there's still the Grand Offering to cover the losses, so we can give it a shot.

Thinking this, his eyes sharpened.

He exchanged a glance with the other two titled Douluo.

The three of them immediately went all out.

A surge of vibrant soul power, the Sea Dragon Douluo's martial soul Sea Dragon possesses him, and nine soul rings of the best color combination of yellow, purple, black...

The Sea Spear Douluo and Seahorse Douluo behind him also summoned their martial souls, with the same optimal soul ring color combination.

"Sigh, why bother?" Richard sighed, then froze the three of them with a wave of his hand.

During this time, he did gain some insights into the origins of ice in this world. Although the so-called ultimate ice in this world wasn't actually that great, it was still enough to freeze a few Title Douluos.

He even had the power to control the extent of the freezing, keeping it confined to a small area around him. Meanwhile, the temperature in other parts of the island remained almost unchanged.

He couldn't have achieved this level of control before.

He used to focus more on the destructive power of ice and didn't really put much effort into the subtle manipulations.

Or rather, the entire Panlong world tends to apply the laws in a crude way, focusing on destructive power. All the laws are like this, striving to transform their understanding of the laws into the greatest possible destructive force.
