Chapter 73 Poseidon: Never be an enemy of the Spirit Hall and the Sun Moon Empire! Wei Tianchen: Breakthrough to level 98!
Upon hearing this, a trace of sadness flashed in Qian Daoliu's eyes. He slowly shook his head, and his originally straight back seemed to hunch over at this moment.
"I don't know."
Qian Daoliu's voice was low, carrying a sense of helplessness from a hero in his twilight years:
"Since that parting on Seagod Island, Tang Chen has vanished as if he evaporated from the face of the earth, without a trace."
Watching the last glimmer of light in Poseidon's eyes gradually fade, Qian Daoliu felt a pang of pity, but still spoke the truth:
"After he left, he didn't even return to the Clear Sky Sect once. I only learned of this later when several elders of the Clear Sky Sect personally came to Spirit City to question me about Tang Chen's whereabouts."
"They said that Tang Chen left decisively, not even taking back the Clear Sky Token, which symbolized the Clear Sky Sect Master's status, nor leaving a single word. For decades, I've sent people to search in secret, but to no avail."
Qian Daoliu wasn't lying.
However, the main reason he sent people to search for Tang Chen was to see if Tang Chen was still alive.
If Tang Chen had died while searching for the divine inheritance, then he could directly attack the Clear Sky Sect, destroying this sect that posed a great threat to the Spirit Hall and was arguably its number one enemy.
Upon hearing this, Poseidon trembled slightly, as if her last pillar of support had been pulled away.
The confusion in her eyes deepened, a utter helplessness about the future.
"She didn't even go home…"
Poseidon murmured to herself, her voice so soft it seemed a breeze could carry it away.
After a long while, Poseidon took a deep breath, seemingly accepting this cruel reality.
Poseidon didn't ask any further questions, simply nodding silently and turning to leave.
However, after taking two steps, Poseidon suddenly stopped.
To Qian Daoliu's astonishment, the once proud Sea God Douluo slowly turned around and bowed deeply to him.
"Poseidon, what are you doing…"
Qian Daoliu was shocked and instinctively tried to help her up.
"This bow is not to you, Qian Daoliu, but to the only remaining sane person in this world."
Poseidon didn't rise, her head bowed, her voice filled with endless regret and self-mockery:
"My entire life has been lived for that so-called 'god.'
I regarded him as my faith, as my light. To protect his legacy, I was willing to sacrifice everything, even… even losing my beloved forever because of it."
"But in the end, I discovered that the one I worshipped was such a despicable, shameless person who would trample on the lives of mortals for personal gain."
Saying this, Poseidon slowly straightened up, her once bright eyes now lifeless, yet revealing a resolute determination.
"My boundless soul power is all thanks to him. Every time I mobilize my soul power, I can feel that nauseating aura, the power stained with Wei Yuan's blood."
Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Daoliu, his tone heartbreakingly calm:
"Qian Daoliu, to atone for the sins I committed against Wei Yuan, I, Poseidon, hereby swear—"
"In this life, I will never be an enemy of the Spirit Hall, nor will I oppose the Sun Moon Empire."
"If only..."
Poseidon glanced at his pale hands and smiled bitterly.
"In this lifetime, I will never again use a single ounce of soul power. Poseidon, the Sea God Douluo, died the moment Sea God Island was destroyed."
"From this day forward, only an ordinary old woman named Poseidon will remain in this filthy yet real world, clinging to life as atonement."
Having said this, Poseidon didn't look at Qian Daoliu again, nor did she use any movement techniques.
Like a truly frail old woman, Poseidon wrapped her tattered black robe tightly around herself and staggered into the depths of the dark forest.
The night wind blew, swirling up a few withered leaves, concealing Poseidon's departing footprints.
Qian Daoliu silently hovered in mid-air, watching the hunched figure gradually disappear into the darkness, speechless for a long time.
After a long while, a long sigh echoed in the night sky of Wuhun City, filled with endless desolation.
"Tang Chen, Tang Chen... If you were here, seeing this scene, I wonder what you would think..."
The former Seagod Island has now been renamed—Zhenhai City.
It is no longer a sacred place in the hearts of Sea Soul Masters, but rather an outpost of the Sun Moon Empire's expeditionary force, and a symbol of the Wei family descendants' revenge against that despicable god.
Inside the City Lord's Mansion, a terrifying pressure suddenly subsided, as if a colossal beast that had devoured heaven and earth had slowly closed its eyes.
Wei Tianchen sat cross-legged on a huge obsidian stone, his body swirling with purple-gold arcs of electricity.
Behind Wei Tianchen, the illusory image of the Purple Radiance Annihilating Heaven Dragon, identical to that of his ancestor Wei Yuan, slowly dissipated, transforming into specks of purple light that merged into his body.
Wei Tianchen slowly opened his eyes, his pupils seemingly burning with purple flames—a manifestation of the ultimate destructive attribute.
Ultimate destructive attribute!
"Hoo..."
Wei Tianchen exhaled a breath of turbid air, which condensed into ice shards in the air before being instantly vaporized by the high temperature.
Wei Tianchen clenched his fist, feeling the surging soul power within him, and sighed softly, "Finally, I've broken through to level 98. This threshold was even more difficult than I imagined."
Just then, a series of steady footsteps sounded.
Not far away, an old man dressed in a crimson robe slowly walked over. With each step he took, the surrounding air seemed to become hotter; he was none other than the Blazing Sun Douluo, one of the Guardian Douluos of the Sun Moon Empire.
Looking at Wei Tianchen, whose aura was restrained yet unfathomable, Lieyang Douluo smiled with satisfaction:
"Tianchen, you truly did as I predicted, breaking through during this expedition. A level 98 Super Douluo—across the entire Sun Moon Continent and Douluo Continent, those who can surpass you are probably few and far between."
As he spoke, a glint of light flashed in Lieyang Douluo's eyes, his tone filled with anticipation:
"With your current progress, coupled with the domineering power of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon Martial Soul, it's estimated that in a few years you'll break through to level 99, achieving the position of Limit Douluo.
At that time, even Qian Daoliu might not be your match."
Wei Tianchen stood up, his figure as straight as a spear.
He walked to the window, gazing at the sea outside—once belonging to the Sea God, now blockaded by the warships of the Sun Moon Empire—a cold smile curving his lips.
"Level 99...that's inevitable.
But my goal isn't just to become a Limit Douluo.
As for surpassing Qian Daoliu after breaking through level 99?
I don't have that idea yet. Even without the Angelic God Power, Qian Daoliu's strength should still be that of a demigod. I won't be his match for a while after breaking through level 99."
