Douluo Continent: I Have No Thieves Under Heaven, the Explosive King Returns

"Buzz!"

When the last bit of spirit ring energy was absorbed, the crimson-gold spirit ring stabilized around Tianxia Wuzei.

He slowly opened his eyes, a glint of crimson gold flashing in them.

The thief raised his hand and clenched his fist, sensing the transformation of the Golden Sea Shark King, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"As expected of a 990,000-year-old spirit ring, it has brought me a lot of improvement. Even the Golden Sea Shark King is almost catching up with the Golden Burst King."

He looked up at the distant horizon and seemed to see the outline of an island bathed in blue light, stretching for thousands of miles.

Poseidon Island.

"Next, it's time to settle accounts with Seagod Island. Its treatment will only be worse than that of the capitals of the three upper sects and the two great empires!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tianxia Wuzei transformed into a streak of blue-gold light, breaking through the sea surface and speeding towards the direction of Poseidon Island.

Meanwhile, a persistent gloom hung over Poseidon Island.

The Neptune Square, which is usually bathed in a sacred blue glow, is now completely silent.

The commoners gripped their tools tightly, their faces pale as they stared at the sacred pillar in the center of the square, barely daring to breathe.

The Soul Masters on patrol were on high alert, their Soul Power surging through their bodies, ready for battle at any moment.

In the center of the square, seven titled Douluo, each dressed in a uniform robe yet possessing their own unique charm, stood side by side.

They are the seven guardians of Seagod Island, each of whom is a titled Douluo powerhouse.

However, his face showed no trace of his usual majesty; instead, it was filled with an undisguised solemnity.

Sea Dragon Douluo clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white.

"The Deep Sea Demon Whale King has fallen! That was a being that even the High Priest and the seven of us had to fight together to barely contend with. That guy was actually killed!"

"Yes."

The Sea Spear Douluo standing to the side had a pale face and his voice trembled slightly.

"The High Priest herself said that she sensed the aura of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King completely dissipated half an hour ago."

"But...but that's a 990,000-year-old soul beast!"

Starfish Douluo's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and his tone was full of disbelief.

"Even if the High Priest and the seven of us join forces, we can at most force the Deep Sea Demon Whale King back; killing it is simply impossible!"

"Is the enemy... really that powerful?!"

Just as the seven titled Douluo of the Sacred Pillars were discussing, a series of heavy footsteps came from the end of the square.

Everyone turned to look, and saw Poseidon, dressed in a gold-trimmed robe of a sea god priestess, slowly walking towards them.

Her silver hair fell over her shoulders, and her usually dignified face was now filled with an unprecedented heaviness.

The sapphire at the top of the scepter in his hand had lost its former luster, as if it too was dimming in anticipation of the impending crisis.

"The High Priest!"

The seven titled Douluo bowed simultaneously, their voices tinged with panic.

Poseidon raised his hand, signaling everyone to stand up.

His gaze swept over the Soul Masters and civilians who were standing guard in the square, and his voice was low and hoarse.

"The Deep Sea Demon Whale King is dead, and the one who slew it is on his way to Seagod Island. That person is our enemy, and only by uniting as one can we possibly stop this disaster!"

These words struck like a thunderbolt, exploding across the square.

The common people let out suppressed gasps of surprise, while the soul masters' faces grew even more grim.

They had already guessed some of the reasons.

But now that Poseidon has confirmed it with him, I still can't help but feel despair.

After all, these soul masters and commoners on Seagod Island were isolated from the world.

Although they had dealt with many sea spirit beasts, they still had too little experience in facing human enemies.

Looking at the commoners and Soul Masters, Sea Dragon Douluo couldn't help but ask.

"High Priest, even the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is no match for that. Can we really stop him? Why don't we let these believers leave? They won't be of much help anyway."

Poseidon didn't rush to answer his question, because in her eyes...

The commoners and soul masters of Poseidon Island are merely tools for providing faith. It's essentially an exchange of equal value.

Poseidon Island provides them with protection, while these civilians offer them faith.

Now that Poseidon Island is in dire straits, how could they possibly remain unscathed?

Moreover, Poseidon had other uses for these sea god devotees.

"Hailong, as believers of the Sea God, they should live and die with Sea God Island. Besides, even if we let them go, do you think they can survive on the high seas?"

Poseidon countered with a question to Sea Dragon Douluo, who was immediately speechless.

Poseidon Island is located in the center of the ocean, and the only way to leave is by flying or by relying on sea spirit beasts.

Only Title Douluo can fly, and most of the Soul Masters on Seagod Island are marine-type Soul Beasts, not flying Soul Beasts.

Moreover, the tamed sea spirit beasts are generally not very strong, and they will be attacked by powerful sea spirit beasts as soon as they leave Seagod Island.

Even if these civilians and soul masters leave Seagod Island, they will not escape their fate of death.

Sea Dragon Douluo no longer dwelled on this, knowing that this was a calamity that the common people and soul beasts of Seagod Island had to endure.

Poseidon ignored him, looked up at the temple of the sea god, and a pleading look flashed in her eyes.

"Lord Sea God, your land of faith is facing an unprecedented crisis. We beseech you to grant us your protection and preserve Sea God Island!"

She gently tapped the ground with the scepter of the sea god in her hand, and a faint blue light emanated from the direction of the temple.

But in an instant, it melted away like snow, as if it were wary of the approaching enemy.

Just then, the sky suddenly darkened.

It wasn't the gloom of dark clouds obscuring the sun, but a pitch blackness as if all light had been sucked away.

The clouds that were still visible were instantly turned inky black, and thick, dark clouds surged in from afar like a tide.

The oppressive atmosphere made the entire Poseidon Island seem as if it were about to collapse.

The common people could even feel the suffocation in their chests, and they all knelt down, not daring to raise their heads.

Even weaker Soul Masters are no exception.

"coming!"

Poseidon gripped the scepter of the sea god tightly, her silver hair moving without wind, a resolute glint in her eyes.

A figure slowly emerged from the dark clouds.

The thief-free world hovers high in the sky, looking down at Poseidon Island below.

His gaze swept over the crowd in the square, and his voice, as if from the heavens, clearly reached everyone's ears.

"Poseidon Island, are you prepared to pay with your lives?!"

The sound was as loud as a great bell, causing the civilians and soul masters of Seagod Island to bleed from their seven orifices.

Even the seven titled Douluo of the Seven Sacred Pillars of Seagod Island experienced a momentary stagnation in their soul power.

"presumptuous!"

With a furious roar, Poseidon slammed his scepter of the sea god onto the ground, and a burst of blue light swept out, allowing the commoners to breathe again.

Immediately afterwards, she slowly rose into the air, facing the world without thieves.

Despite sensing the power of the Thieves-Free World, Poseidon maintained the dignity of the High Priestess.

"There are no thieves in the world, only the victor and the vanquished. If you had accepted the Sea God's legacy back then and become the Sea God's successor, would the relationship between Sea God Island and you have deteriorated to this point!"

"Hmph!" Tianxia Wuzei sneered, his voice mocking, "What is the Sea God? His worthless inheritance is a treasure to you, but in my eyes it's just trash!"

"Trying to flatter me? Who do you think you are! Even if I wipe you all out, so what? I don't care about any reputation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tianxia Wuzei raised his hand and pressed down on Poseidon Island below.

High above, a massive handprint that completely covered Poseidon Island suddenly broke through the thick black clouds and fell down.

The ground of Poseidon Island began to tremble, and the calm sea surface turned into boiling water.

As Poseidon looked at the giant handprint falling before him, despair arose in his heart for the first time.

She knew that catastrophe was coming for Poseidon Island. (End of Chapter)
