Chapter 88 Refining the Trident of the Sea God! Renamed:
The Annihilation Dragon Halberd! Wei Tianchen was overjoyed: Ancestor's divine might is unparalleled!
Boom—!
A streak of purple-gold light, like a falling meteor, instantly ripped through the sky above the sea.
Zhenhai City (formerly Sea God Island).
The once lush and verdant Sea God Island, brimming with the aura of pristine nature, is now unrecognizable.
Everywhere you look, there are cold, steel behemoths.
The thousands of elite soul masters belonging to the Sun Moon Empire's expeditionary fleet—the "Overturning the Sea"—have already transformed the island into an impregnable fortress of various soul guidance arrays.
The seven sacred pillars originally dedicated to the Sea God still stand, but they are now surrounded by towering soul guidance cannons and metal walls.
The original inhabitants of the island who worshipped the Sea God have been completely wiped out in the previous purge, replaced by patrolling soldiers in Sun Moon Empire standard armor, their expressions cold and stern.
This is no longer the Sea God's backyard, but the Zhenhai Province of the Sun Moon Empire!
"Who dares to trespass into Zhenhai City!"
A squad of soul-guided flying soldiers responsible for aerial surveillance were about to take off to intercept when they were blasted off their feet by the terrifying pressure.
"Get out of the way!"
Wei Tianchen didn't even glance at them. Without pausing, he smashed through the defensive shield surrounding the Sea God Temple and landed heavily on the massive white jade plaza.
As the dust settled, Wei Tianchen's figure, radiating the terrifying aura of a Limit Douluo, was clearly revealed.
"It's...it's His Highness!"
"His Highness is back! My god, this aura...His Highness has broken through?!"
The surrounding Sun Moon Empire soul masters, sensing the dragon's might originating from their bloodline suppression, all knelt on the ground, their eyes filled with fervor.
Wei Tianchen ignored their kneeling. His gaze was fixed on the high platform in the center of the hall.
There, planted, was a trident, entirely black, yet radiating a terrifyingly sacred aura.
The ultimate artifact—the Sea God's Trident!
It stood there silently, like an unchanging ancient rock.
Although Poseidon Island had changed hands and its followers were all dead, this divine artifact still exuded an arrogant divine might, resisting all "heretics" who tried to approach.
"Hmph, even Poseidon is imprisoned, what are you doing putting on airs with this broken weapon?"
Wei Tianchen sneered, stepping towards the platform.
*Buzz!*
Seemingly sensing the destructive dragon aura emanating from Wei Tianchen, so different from that of Poseidon, the Trident of Poseidon trembled violently, a burst of golden divine light erupting, transforming into a tangible golden barrier that slammed into Wei Tianchen.
"If it were before, I might have been somewhat wary of you. But now…"
A hint of disdain flashed in Wei Tianchen's eyes. He slowly raised his right hand, and in his palm, the wisp of gray-black "annihilation divinity" danced like a swimming fish.
"The Ancestor commands, return!"
Wei Tianchen let out a low shout and forcefully thrust out the Divine Essence of Annihilation!
Whoosh!
The wisp of grayish-black energy, seemingly weak, pierced through the golden divine light barrier without resistance, like a red-hot knife cutting through butter!
The next second, the Divine Essence of Annihilation directly struck the blade of the Trident of Poseidon.
Clang—!!!
A crisp, resonant metallic sound instantly echoed throughout Zhenhai City.
Then, an unbelievable scene unfolded.
The wisp of Divine Essence of Annihilation did not dissipate; instead, like a drop of ink falling into clear water, it instantly seeped into the interior of the Trident of Poseidon.
Boom!
In an instant, the soul imprint belonging to Wei Yuan within the Divine Essence of Annihilation was completely activated!
Inside the Burial Coffin, Wei Yuan looked at the scene before him, within the Sea God's Palace, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Twenty thousand years ago, Poseidon pierced Wei Yuan with his Martial Soul.
Afterwards, he became a god, his Martial Soul transforming into the divine artifact, the Trident of Poseidon.
Poseidon had plotted for 20,000 years, but little did he know, he wasn't dead at all!
"Poseidon is gone, my way shall rise!"
A grand will, seemingly from ancient times, echoed within the trident.
This divine artifact suddenly froze.
It contained not only divine power, but also the power of faith accumulated over the past 20,000 years by countless beings across the ocean and the Sun and Moon Continent.
However, Poseidon was rarely in the lower realms, and his methods weren't universally accepted by all sea creatures.
On the other hand, while the people of the Sun and Moon Continent were isolated by the sea, their worship of power and their faith in the legendary "Purple Emperor Annihilating the Heavenly Dragon" totem hadn't ceased even after 10,000 years; instead, it had become incredibly heavy with accumulated weight.
This power of faith had originally been indiscriminately absorbed and stored by the Trident of the Sea God.
But now, with the awakening of Wei Yuan's mark, this immense and terrifying power of faith suddenly "rebelled"!
They sensed the aura of their true master!
They no longer obeyed the commands of the Sea God's divine power, but instead surged madly towards that wisp of annihilating divinity, resonating and cheering with Wei Yuan's mark!
Ten thousand meters deep in the sea, inside the Burial Coffin.
Wei Yuan's tightly closed eyes trembled slightly, a smile of absolute control curving his lips.
"Even divine artifacts must abide by 'basic laws.'"
"For the past twenty thousand years, the Sun and Moon Continent has worshipped me, and the Sea Soul Beasts have revered me. Poseidon, you are nothing but a 'thief' who stole the faith of this ocean."
"Now, return it all, with interest."
With a thought, Wei Yuan, across vast distances of time and space, directly manipulated that wisp of annihilating divinity, now amplified countless times, and began a domineering "refining" process!
Inside the Sea God's Temple.
"This… what's going on?!"
Wei Tianchen stared in shock at the scene before him.
The once golden, inviolable Sea God's Trident was now changing color!
That brilliant gold is being eroded by a more noble, more domineering, and deep purple-gold, like the night sky!
The sea god runes on the halberd, under the onslaught of the annihilating divinity, emitted a hissing sound, then shattered and reformed one by one, transforming into dragon-shaped patterns filled with destructive aura!
The azure of the sea was banished, replaced by the gloom of annihilation and the domineering power of purple radiance.
In less than ten breaths, the force that resisted Wei Tianchen completely vanished.
In its place was a sense of kinship and intimacy, and a subservience akin to submitting to a monarch.
Wei Tianchen took a deep breath, stepped forward, and grasped the Sea God Trident—no, perhaps it should now be called the "Annihilation Dragon Halberd"!
This weight of 108,000 jin was as light as a feather in the hands of Wei Tianchen, now a level 99 Limit Douluo!
He pulled hard!
Rumble!
The entire Sea God Temple shook violently, and the throne that originally belonged to the Sea God collapsed with a crash.
Holding the purple-gold halberd, Wei Tianchen turned to face the outside of the hall, towards the boundless sea, a surge of pride soaring to the heavens.
"Our ancestor's divine might is unparalleled!"
"He could even forcibly refine and transfer Poseidon's divine artifact!"
"With this, who on this sea can stop the iron hooves of my Sun Moon Empire?!" Inside the Burial Coffin, Wei Yuan's lips curled slightly. He moved his lips slightly, transmitting his voice to Wei Tianchen.
This Annihilation Dragon Halberd had been entrusted to Wei Tianchen before he even lifted the coffin.
Wei Tianchen was extremely excited and knelt down in Wei Yuan's direction, expressing his deepest gratitude.
With his level 99 Limit Douluo cultivation, the power boost from his twin martial souls, and the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon Martial Soul reaching godhood, even with his recent breakthrough, he could already rival a demigod.
Now, with this super divine artifact, the Annihilation Dragon Halberd, Wei Tianchen's combat power was at least demigod, comparable to a quasi-god!
Inside the Burial Coffin, in that deathly silent and empty space...
Looking at Wei Tianchen, who stood majestically wielding the purple-gold halberd in the light screen, Wei Yuan's all-controlling smile widened slightly, revealing a hint of satisfaction.
"Well done."
Wei Yuan's lips moved slightly, and his divine sense directly traversed space, resounding deep within Wei Tianchen's mind.
Wei Yuan even lost his spiritual power, or rather, his spiritual power had transformed into the 'divine sense' possessed only by gods.
"Tianchen."
Wei Tianchen, who was riding high in the Sea God's Palace, suddenly trembled.
"This halberd is called the 'Dragon Halberd of Annihilation.' Now that it has changed hands, it belongs to my Wei family."
Wei Yuan's voice continued to echo in Wei Tianchen's mind, carrying an undeniable domineering aura:
"Until I rise from my coffin and return to the world, this halberd will be temporarily entrusted to you."
Inside the Sea God's Palace.
Hearing this personal transmission and approval from his ancestor, Wei Tianchen's originally cold and aloof face instantly surged with uncontrollable joy and excitement.
Without any hesitation, Wei Tianchen, disregarding the gazes of the surrounding soldiers and powerful figures, knelt heavily on the ground with a "thud," facing the ten-thousand-meter-deep sea and the location of the Burial Coffin!
"Tianchen... I will obey the Ancestor's decree!"
Wei Tianchen's voice trembled slightly with excessive excitement. He raised the heavy and domineering Annihilation Dragon Halberd high with both hands, his forehead slamming heavily onto the cold white jade ground with a muffled thud.
"Tianchen will wield this halberd to clear all obstacles for you!
On the day you break free of the coffin, I will use the entire Douluo Continent as a gift to welcome your return!!"
As Wei Tianchen's vow fell, the Annihilation Dragon Halberd in his hand emitted a deafening dragon's roar, its purple-gold light instantly surging, illuminating the entire Sea God Palace like a dreamlike demonic realm.
Wei Tianchen slowly rose, feeling the surging power within him like a vast ocean, his confidence reaching its peak.
Wei Tianchen silently calculated his current combat strength.
Originally, he was a genius possessing the twin martial souls "Purple Flame Dragon Spear" and "Purple Radiance Annihilation Dragon," capable of fighting across levels.
Now, with the help of his ancestor, the Purple Radiance Annihilation Dragon martial soul has completely evolved into a god-level martial soul, allowing him to break through to the level 99 Limit Douluo realm.
With the superior quality of this god-level martial soul alone, coupled with the foundation of his twin martial souls, he could even contend with "demigod" powerhouses who had touched the barrier of divinity, and his chances of victory were not low.
And now…
Wei Tianchen lowered his head, gently stroking the Annihilation Dragon Halberd in his hand, which exuded an aura of destruction.
This was a true super artifact!
Truly suited to the destructive attribute of his Purple Radiance Annihilation Dragon martial soul.
Compared to the previous Sea God Trident, the Annihilation Dragon Halberd's power had only increased, and it perfectly matched his martial soul attributes.
"With it…"
Wei Tianchen gripped the halberd shaft tightly, and the surrounding space instantly shattered, revealing countless fine black cracks.
"My combat power is at least at the peak of demigod level!"
"If I unleash my full power, combined with the divine skills of the Annihilation Dragon Halberd, I can even unleash terrifying combat power comparable to a 'quasi-god'!"
Quasi-god!
That's an existence infinitely close to godhood, only one step away from divine inheritance!
In this era where gods cannot easily descend to the mortal realm, he, Wei Tianchen, is truly invincible in this world!
"Qian Daoliu? Poseidon? Tang Chen?"
A chilling smile curled at the corner of Wei Tianchen's lips as his gaze pierced through the gates of the Sea God Temple, looking towards the vast continent to the east.
"Your era has ended."
"Next, it is the era of my Sun Moon Empire, the era of my Wei family!"
