Douluo Continent: I had just reached my limit when the sky exposed me.

Chapter 85 Poseidon Island, Deep Sea Demon Whale King's Surprise Attack

When Li Bai, Sikong Zhen, and the others stepped through the golden gates of the Angel Temple.

It felt as if a sacred boundary had been crossed.

The surrounding area is a palace constructed of boundless pure white and golden light.

Magnificent and solemn!
A divine pressure permeated the air, sending shivers down one's spine.

In an instant, several dazzling beams of light descended from the sky.

It precisely covers every single person!

At the same time, a majestic and indifferent stream of information flooded into their minds:

[Angel's Trial - Secondary Opportunity Assessment - Divine Light Tempering]

[Content: Persevere for three days under the radiance of angels.]

[Success Rewards: Based on the duration of perseverance and individual performance, you will receive blessings such as increased soul power, increased soul ring age, enhanced physique, and refined mental power.]

[Failure Penalty: Soul damaged, forcibly teleported out of the temple, and cannot re-enter for seven days.]

The light dissipated.

The group exchanged glances, all with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

"Strange, we have different soul power levels, but the assessment content is the same? We both have to endure three days?"

Ning Rongrong blinked in confusion.

Dugu Yan frowned as she felt the omnipresent, sacred pressure surrounding her, which seemed to purify even her Azure Phosphorus Serpent venom.

"But the pressure... is so intense."

Zhu Zhuqing didn't speak, but silently circulated her soul power.

Her agile and offensive body felt extremely uncomfortable under this divine pressure, as if she were bound by invisible shackles.

Lightning crackled around Sikong Zhen as he resisted the divine aura that was trying to penetrate his body.

He said in a deep voice, "The pressure is indeed considerable, but it's still bearable. I can use this opportunity to temper my thunderous body!"

However, when they actually started the assessment...

Only then did I realize how naive my previous thoughts had been.

The intensity of angelic light is not fixed.

Instead, it makes dynamic and highly targeted adjustments based on the examinee's talent, strength, martial spirit attributes, and even the purity of their heart!

The pressure Ning Rongrong felt was mainly a test of her soul power purity and mental resilience.

The angelic radiance flowed around her, as if examining the potential of her Nine-Jeweled Pagoda.

Ye Lingling felt her life force being constantly washed and purified by the divine light.

Stress stems from a lack of understanding of the essence of life.

Sikong Zhen was confronted with the raging, divine pressure of thunder.

It collided and annihilated with his own thunderous power, seemingly trying to dismantle the very foundation of his most prized strength.

Even he looked solemn at this moment, the lightning around him compressed to three inches above his body as he resisted with all his might.

Only Li Bai.

His appearance, struggling to hold on, stood in stark contrast to the other five.

The Azure Lotus Sword Immortal casually stuck the ancient longsword into the smooth ground beside him.

Then, leaning back leisurely against the sword hilt, he untied the wine gourd from his waist and took a swig.

"Tsk, good wine."

He smacked his lips, his handsome face full of contentment.

The clear, cold light of the azure lotus sword around him seemed faint, yet it effortlessly kept out the divine pressure that would suffocate even a titled Douluo, as if a gentle breeze were blowing on his face.

The most intense divine light was directed at him.

When it landed on him, it was like a clay ox sinking into the sea.

He doesn't even have the right to be serious.

And so, in the solemn and sacred Temple of Angels, he leaned on his sword and drank wine, carefree and unrestrained.

It stands out from its struggling companions and solemn surroundings, yet it forms a unique landscape in itself.

The others were shocked and helpless upon seeing this.

Comparing people to each other is so annoying!

They stopped being distracted and began to fully circulate their soul power, guiding the divine light to temper themselves.

Under this immense pressure, they could clearly feel the condensation of their soul power and the strengthening of their bodies.

Although it was painful, the benefits were also very real.

……

Just as the group was undergoing trials inside the Temple of Angels.

A strong golden light surged up once again in the sky above Douluo Continent.

The new ranking information has begun to circulate.

[Ranking 6th on the Opportunity List: Poseidon Island]

Location: Deep in the endless sea

[Description of the opportunity: The land where the Sea God, a first-level deity, passed down his legacy, is the core of maritime faith. The island is protected by the Sea God's divine power and contains immense ocean power and the light of faith.]

[Core Opportunity: Inheritance of the Sea God's Divine Position (Level One Deity, Successor Undetermined).]

[Secondary Opportunity (Open)]:
1. Tempering the Body with the Light of the Sea God: Climbing the steps of the Sea God Mountain and enduring the pressure of the Light of the Sea God can rapidly increase soul power and temper the body.

2. Top-level assessment: Passing the assessment at the Black level or above will grant you a divinely bestowed soul ring, the duration of which depends on your own limits.

3. Faith Baptism: Feel the power of the Sea God's faith; there's a chance to enhance spiritual power and purify your Martial Soul. [Celestial Rule Blessing]: The Sea God Island's protective barrier is temporarily reinforced by the Celestial Rule, significantly increasing its safety. The route to Sea God Island will be guided by the Celestial Rule, reducing the risk of getting lost. The efficiency of obtaining secondary opportunities is increased by 20%.

[Admission Requirements: Anyone (including Sea Soul Masters and Land Soul Masters) may attempt this. Warning: The journey involves traversing dangerous seas, and you must deal with the threats of sea soul beasts on your own. The inheritance assessment is extremely difficult; failure may result in serious injury or even death!]

"Another first-level deity! The Sea God!"

"What's going on today? One after another, divine inheritance sites are popping up!"

"Poseidon Island... Poseidon! The Limit Douluo with the Sea God Martial Soul who was on the Martial Soul Ranking before!"

"Her martial spirit is definitely related to the Sea God's inheritance!"

"Anyone can go? That's great! Even if we don't get the divine position, the Light of the Sea God and the divinely bestowed soul ring are still incredible opportunities!"

The mainland is in an uproar again!

The appearance of three consecutive first-level divine inheritance sites ignited the ambition and desire of all soul masters.

Many people have already begun planning to form fleets and prepare to venture across the seas.

Heading to the legendary Poseidon Island.

……

On Poseidon Island.

Poseidon gazed at the sky, equally shocked.

"Poseidon Island... is only ranked sixth?"

A complex expression appeared on her stunningly beautiful face.

The legacy of the Sea God was supreme in her heart.

Now she's only in sixth place, which inevitably makes her feel a bit disappointed.

She also realized that the secrets hidden in the Douluo Continent were far more numerous than she knew.

But soon, she looked at the description of the opportunity in the sky, which stated that "the successor is undetermined."

Looking around at the believers who were busy evacuating and whose faces were filled with fear, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"The successor..."

"With Poseidon Island struggling to survive and surrounded by powerful enemies, how can it possibly select a successor with peace of mind?"

Her heart was filled with helplessness and sorrow.

The threat of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King hangs like the Sword of Damocles over our heads.

The legacy of Poseidon Island may truly be on the verge of being interrupted.

……

Not far from Poseidon Island.

Having recovered most of its injuries, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King saw "Sea God Island" ranked sixth on the sky.

A terrifying killing intent and resentment instantly erupted from the enormous single eye!

"Poseidon, the sea god!"

It emitted a low, spiritual roar.

"Your legacy will never continue!"

"Any human who dares to covet the opportunities on Poseidon Island shall die!"

It will never allow the Sea God's legacy to fall into the hands of any human Soul Master.

The successor of that false god will surely be its mortal enemy in the future!
"buzz"

Just as the golden light from the sky was about to cross space and fall into Poseidon Island, just like before, to empower it with the power of rules.

The massive, continent-like body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King suddenly burst forth from the deep sea.

Carrying the terrifying divine power of a million-year-old soul beast, it instantly approached Seagod Island!

"Roar!"

It roared, and dark blue divine power gathered wildly around its body.

It transformed into a destructive energy torrent capable of tearing apart the sky and evaporating the ocean, and crashed fiercely towards Poseidon Island!
It wants to take this opportunity to completely wipe this major threat from the world!

"not good!"

Poseidon and the seven guardians of the Holy Pillars suddenly changed their expressions!

"Form ranks! Protect Seagod Island!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Poseidon's Sea God Martial Soul erupted with a dazzling blue light, and all nine of its Soul Rings shone brightly.

He will elevate his Limit Douluo strength to its absolute limit!
The seven guardians of the sacred pillars also activated their power, and a huge blue light screen instantly rose up in an attempt to protect Poseidon Island.

They all know.

This strike might be a desperate one!
Poseidon was even prepared to burn her life force and perish together with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

However, what happened next...

This left both sides in a state of shock.

"boom!"

The golden beam of light that descended from the sky seemed to defy the constraints of space.

Ignoring the devastating attack of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, it leisurely landed on Seagod Island.

Immediately following, a ring of soft yet incredibly resilient golden ripples appeared.

Centered on Poseidon Island, it instantly spread out, forming a semi-transparent golden light shield.

Enveloping the entire Poseidon Island.

It may appear to be a thin layer, but it contains boundless divine power.
