The entire Spirit City fell into a deathly silence.
Whether it was the soldiers patrolling the city walls, the Spirit Masters walking on the streets, or the spies from various factions hidden in the shadows, everyone was as if frozen in place, staring dumbfounded at the thousand-meter mountain outside the city that had been split in two and was slowly collapsing!
Fear! Unparalleled fear, like an icy tide, instantly engulfed everyone's hearts!
What kind of terrifying power was this?! Was this power that mortals could possess?! This was simply the wrath of a god!
One strike! Just one strike! It split a thousand-meter mountain!
If this strike had landed on Spirit City… the consequences would be unimaginable! The entire Spirit City would probably be reduced to dust in an instant!
Thump! Thump!
On the city wall, some soldiers with weaker psychological fortitude immediately went weak in the knees, collapsing to the ground, their faces as pale as paper.
In the streets, countless Spirit Masters trembled, some even losing control of their bladders on the spot, and a foul stench filled the air.
The Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empire spies hidden in the shadows were even more terrified, their souls scattered! They had originally thought they had overestimated the Spirit Empire's strength, but this scene before them completely shattered all their perceptions and hopes!
This was not power on the level of war at all! This was divine punishment!
Bibi Dong looked at the mountain split in two in the distance, her purple eyes filled with shock. She finally understood what Xuan Ming's 'stabilize the situation' meant.
With the might of this single strike, let alone one or two years, no one would dare to act presumptuously in the Spirit Empire for even ten or eight years!
However, after the shock, there was intense confusion.
How could Xuan Ming's power be so terrifying?
"Great strength creates miracles," Gu Yuena said softly.
"The power of the attacks he unleashes is actually similar to yours, but the quantity is different."
"If the spirit power possessed by an ordinary super Douluo is ten, then he has at least one hundred."
Bibi Dong's expression stiffened, "Ten times?"
"That's just a conservative estimate," Gu Yuena said.
"Ever since he began to control that power, he hasn't relaxed for a single day in the past decade or so, especially after obtaining the complete transformation of dragon soul and dragon bones. His spirit power and physical strength have far surpassed the limits of humanity, even among pure-blooded true dragons, he is extremely exaggerated."
"Although his body has not undergone divine force transformation, in terms of strength, it is not weaker than a demigod's body, and even, it is catching up to a god's!"
Xuan Ming used a special method to turn every part of his body into a container, storing and compressing a large amount of spirit power.
Especially after obtaining the million-year Abyssal Dragon Emperor's torso bone, his body had completely transformed; he was the Dragon King!
Now, even if Xuan Ming were to face the heavenly tribulation and forcibly become a god, his success rate would be over ninety percent!
But he was still accumulating, still compressing, until he reached his limit.
Accumulate widely and release thinly.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!
Just as the entire city fell into a dead silence, several powerful auras suddenly shot up from the direction of the Offering Hall.
Led by Qian Daoliu, several Priests appeared, their faces solemn as they looked at Xuan Ming in the air.
The destructive power fluctuation just now made even these Priests, who had long been out of touch with worldly affairs, feel their hearts pound!
"Xuan Ming! What do you want to do?!" Qian Daoliu asked in a deep voice.
His gaze swept over the Blood Spear in Xuan Ming's hand, then looked at the terrifying scene outside the city, and a storm raged in his heart.
How long had this boy been away from Spirit City? His strength had actually skyrocketed to such an incredible degree?! The power of that strike just now had far exceeded the scope of an ordinary super Douluo!
Moreover, his spirit rings, six black and two red!
Had this boy also obtained a God Test?
But how could it be so fast?
Xuan Ming did not respond. With a flick of his wrist, he took out the golden and brilliant Sea God Trident, which exuded a vast pressure.
Then, under the astonished gazes of Qian Daoliu and the Priests, he suddenly swung his arm!
Buzz—!!!
The Sea God Trident transformed into a golden stream of light, carrying an ear-piercing whistle and terrifying weight. It did not attack anyone, but instead shot straight towards the square in front of the Offering Hall's main entrance!
"Presumptuous!" Qian Daoliu's expression changed. Thinking Xuan Ming was going to attack the Offering Hall, his Angelic Holy Light instantly burst forth. His figure flashed, appearing in front of the Offering Hall's door, and he pushed his hands forward violently. The majestic sacred energy transformed into a huge light shield, attempting to intercept the golden trident!
Boom—!!!!
The Sea God Trident heavily struck the Angelic Light Shield!
A dull, extreme roar exploded! Qian Daoliu's surrounding holy light flickered violently, and he let out a muffled grunt, actually being shaken back several tens of meters by that terrifying force before barely stabilizing himself! The ground beneath his feet cracked inch by inch!
And the Sea God Trident, after shattering most of the Angelic Light Shield's power, slightly reduced its momentum, but still with unparalleled might, it heavily plunged into the center of the square directly in front of the Offering Hall's main entrance!
Rumble!
The entire Offering Hall square vibrated violently! With the trident's landing point as the center, the hard stone pavement instantly filled with spiderweb-like cracks, extending for nearly a hundred meters!
The golden trident body was deeply embedded in the ground, still faintly vibrating, emitting a low and majestic hum. A vast sacred aura and heavy pressure permeated the air, making all nearby Spirit Masters feel difficulty breathing!
Qian Daoliu looked at the golden trident, which was close at hand and exuded a heart-palpitating aura, his face becoming extremely unsightly.
Although he had acted in haste just now, he had used seventy to eighty percent of his power, and yet he almost couldn't fully block it?!
What on earth was the origin of this weapon?! Its weight and the sacred power it contained were terrifying beyond imagination!
"Xuan Ming! What do you mean by this?!" Qian Daoliu suddenly looked up at Xuan Ming in the air, his voice filled with suppressed anger and confusion.
He could tell that Xuan Ming's throw was not truly meant to attack the Offering Hall, otherwise it wouldn't have been at this angle and with this force. But throwing a weapon in front of someone's door like this was undoubtedly a huge provocation!
All the Priests also looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy, their spirit power surging, nervously watching Xuan Ming.
Under the gaze of countless eyes, Xuan Ming slowly put away his Blood Spear, calmly looked at Qian Daoliu, and spoke faintly:
"This fish fork is too heavy, I can't lift it anymore."
"I'll leave it with you for a while."
"…"
Above the entire Spirit City, a strange silence fell.
Qian Daoliu's angry expression froze, the Priests' expressions solidified, and even the countless Spirit Masters below, looking up, opened their mouths wide, thinking they had misheard.
Too heavy? Can't lift it? Leave it for a while?
This… what kind of absurd reason was this?!
That thing almost knocked back the High Priest just now! And you're telling me you can't lift it?! Did its might when you threw it just now look like you couldn't lift it?!
This was clearly a blatant, extremely perfunctory provocation!
Qian Daoliu's eyelids twitched violently a few times, his chest heaved, and he forcibly suppressed the anger that was almost bursting forth, staring intently at Xuan Ming: "Xuan Ming! Do you take this old man for a three-year-old child?!"
"If you don't believe me, you can try it yourself," Xuan Ming said lightly.
"See if it's heavy."
Qian Daoliu looked at the golden trident, deeply embedded in the ground and exuding a vast pressure, his eyes flickering uncertainly.
He naturally didn't believe Xuan Ming's nonsense about 'not being able to lift it,' but the aura emanating from this divine weapon indeed made his heart palpitate.
As a ninety-ninth-level super Douluo and the guardian of the Angel God, his perception of divine weapons far surpassed ordinary people's.
This golden trident was a divine weapon!
Moreover, its appearance, seemed familiar?
Qian Daoliu snorted coldly, took a step forward, and arrived in front of the Sea God Trident. He took a deep breath, and his Angelic Holy Light around him lit up again, even more dazzling than before! He stretched out his hands and firmly grasped the golden shaft of the trident.
It was cold to the touch and felt heavy.
Qian Daoliu's eyes narrowed, his majestic spirit power burst forth, his arm muscles bulged, and he lifted it upwards with force!
Buzz—!
The Sea God Trident trembled slightly, emitting a low hum, but… it remained motionless!
Qian Daoliu's expression changed slightly, and a hint of disbelief flashed in his eyes. Although he hadn't used his full strength just now, he had used seventy to eighty percent of it, enough to shake mountains and break rivers! Yet he couldn't budge this trident in the slightest?!
"Hmph!" Qian Daoliu let out a low cry, no longer holding back. The terrifying spirit power of a ninety-ninth-level super Douluo poured into his arms without reservation! The brilliant Angelic Holy Light completely enveloped him, and a sacred and majestic aura swept across the entire square!
The veins on his arms bulged, and the ground beneath his feet cracked and collapsed again, unable to bear the immense force!
However—
The Sea God Trident still remained firmly embedded in the earth, as if rooted, without even the slightest tremor!
"This… how is this possible?!" Qian Daoliu finally exclaimed, his old face filled with horror and disbelief! He had used his full power, and he really… couldn't lift it?!
The surrounding Light Feather Douluo and other Priests also watched dumbfounded, looking at each other, their eyes filled with surprise and doubt.
They knew the High Priest's strength all too well, yet he couldn't even lift a weapon?!
Xuan Ming also felt a little confused seeing this scene.
Although this Sea God Trident weighed one hundred and eight thousand catties, for Qian Daoliu, it shouldn't be so heavy that he couldn't lift it even with all his strength, right?
"…"
"Why are you looking at me?"
In the God Realm, within the Divine Hall.
Several God Kings all turned their gazes to Poseidon.
"If he, an Angel God's servant, could really lift my trident, wouldn't I lose face?" Poseidon said grumpily.
One hundred and eight thousand catties! This was not just mere weight, but also contained the divine force will of Poseidon! Without the Sea God's approval, even with immense strength, it would be difficult to move it in the slightest!
Xuan Ming could lift this thing by brute force because he had fused with the Sea God's Heart, and Poseidon didn't stop him.
Others? Did they really think he, the Sea God, didn't care about his reputation?
The Sea God Trident not releasing a counterattack was already him giving face to the Angel God!
Otherwise, could a divine weapon of the dignified Sea God be touched by just anyone?
