Chapter 93 Level 99, Second Soul Core! Douluo Citizens: Poseidon, you deserve to die a thousand deaths!
[Dual Continent Martial Soul Comparison - Match 8 - Final Correction Judgment]
[Final Winner: Sun Moon Continent - Hai Rui (Heavy Water Sacred Dragon Martial Soul)]
[Winning Reward: Soul Power Level +1, granted the opportunity to evolve "Heavy Water Domain".]
Before the words were finished, a dazzling purple-gold pillar of light, like a cascading Milky Way, instantly enveloped Hai Rui, who had been looking bewildered and even somewhat frustrated on the arena.
Boom—!
A vast and boundless aura erupted from Hai Rui's body.
The bottleneck that had been stuck at the peak of level 98 for many years shattered instantly like paper under the impact of this divine power!
Level 99!
After Super Douluo, each level increase is extremely difficult, often requiring decades of arduous cultivation or even a stroke of luck.
Let alone the difference between level 98 and level 99!
Level 98 to level 99.
It's a qualitative leap!
At this moment, simply because his opponent "conceded," Hai Rui easily crossed this insurmountable barrier.
Although several quasi-gods and demigods had been revealed after passing through the Heavenly Curtain, a level 99 Limit Douluo was still an extremely terrifying existence.
It all depended on who he was compared to.
Feeling the terrifying soul power surging like a sea within his body, Hai Rui's brows, which had been furrowed with frustration at not being able to have a satisfying battle, instantly relaxed, replaced by uncontrollable ecstasy.
"Hahahaha! Good! Good indeed!"
Hai Rui couldn't help but laugh loudly, his laughter shaking the surrounding area.
"I originally thought it was a pity that we didn't get to fight, but I didn't expect such an unexpected joy! Poseidon, I must thank you for your 'generosity'! This is practically a free victory, a free opportunity!"
Hai Rui had initially felt somewhat aggrieved by the unfairness of his victory.
But now?
To hell with unfairness!
At his age and level, real power improvement was the only way forward!
The opponent chickened out, they won, and even leveled up—it was like a windfall!
Hai Rui, beaming, cupped his hands towards Tianmu, his face radiating confidence, all traces of his earlier anger gone.
However, human joys and sorrows are not shared.
The happier Hai Rui laughed, the uglier the faces, the more painful the hearts, and the fiercer the rage on the Douluo Continent's side!
"Damn it! Absolutely damn it!"
In the Tiandou City square, a Soul Master angrily smashed his wine glass, his eyes bloodshot.
"We won... we already won! Tianmu declared us the winner. If she had just persisted a little longer, even just shown her face, we would have won!"
"Disgrace! This is the greatest disgrace of the Douluo Continent's Soul Master world!"
Originally, because Poseidon won the first stage judgment with her "Sea God Martial Soul," a glimmer of hope had rekindled in the hearts of the Douluo Continent's Soul Masters.
They even began to reflect: Had they been too harsh in their criticism of Seagod Island?
Was it possible that even though Poseidon, the Seagod, was a flawed character, the legacy he left behind could still protect the continent?
The joy of "losing and then regaining" had briefly made them want to accept this once-powerful high priest back.
But now?
Poseidon's "surrender" was like a bucket of icy, foul water, splashed harshly on the faces of all the Douluo Continent warriors who had just begun to feel a surge of passion.
This feeling of being "played" and "betrayed" was a thousand times more disgusting than simply losing the match!
"Bah! What High Priestess of the Sea God, what Limit Douluo? She's just a cowardly coward who fears death!"
"I was just thinking of cheering her on, wondering if Seagod Island had some hidden reasons. Now it seems these people who worship false gods are spineless at heart!"
"They handed victory over to the enemy and even aided them! They let that Hai Rui level up! Now the Sun Moon Empire is stronger, and we're going to die even faster!"
"Poseidon! You are a sinner of the Douluo Continent! You deserve to die a thousand deaths!"
The curses and insults swept across the entire Douluo Continent like a tsunami.
Seagod Island, which had already disbanded, and the Seagod faith, which had already fallen from its pedestal, were now dragged out again by the angry crowd, trampled underfoot, and crushed into mud.
Even their hatred for the Seagod Poseidon reached a new peak.
"Like god, like believers!
The master treats his followers like pigs, and the followers betray the continent for personal gain at crucial moments!
This entire lineage is a scourge!"
Meanwhile, in a remote town tavern, the overwhelming jeers from the outside world seemed to be shut out.
Poseidon sat quietly in a corner, watching Hai Rui's ecstatic smile on the sky, listening to the faint, vicious curses directed at her.
Her face was expressionless, her heart ashen.
In the past, hearing someone insult the sea god, insult Sea God Island, would have unleashed a thunderous rage.
But now, she merely picked up her cheap ale and took a small sip.
Bitterness spread across her tongue.
"Go ahead and curse..."
Poseidon murmured softly, her voice barely audible to herself.
"Anyway, I'm already a person with nowhere to go."
"As long as I can see Tang Chen... even if I bear this eternal infamy, so what?"
She thought that by bowing her head, by admitting defeat, she could avoid the conflict and buy time to find her lover.
Little did she know, Wei Tianchen had already locked onto her aura.
In the deeper darkness, Wei Yuan murmured mockingly, "Naive woman... on this stage, leaving often means death."
The Heavenly Arena.
The light gradually faded.
The purple-gold pillar of light that had enveloped Hai Rui transformed into countless fine runes, surging wildly into Hai Rui's body like rivers flowing into the sea.
*Buzz—!*
A muffled yet soul-shaking roar emanated from Hai Rui's chest.
The previously calm vortex of soul power in Hai Rui's chest now compressed and collapsed wildly, finally condensing into a dazzling deep blue crystal beside his heart.
The Second Soul Core!
With the formation of the Second Soul Core, Hai Rui's already terrifying aura underwent another qualitative change.
If he was a raging ocean before, then he was now an abyss capable of swallowing heaven and earth!
A profound and mysterious feeling welled up in his heart.
Hai Rui slowly raised his right hand, and in his palm, a ball of jet-black water slowly rotated.
The water sphere appeared to be only the size of a fist, but the surrounding space cracked open with fine black fissures due to its weight.
Heavy Water Domain – Evolution: [Mysterious Nether Heavy Water Realm]!
"Is this… the power of a demigod?"
Hai Rui clenched his fist, feeling the seemingly endless power within him, his eyes gleaming with unprecedented brilliance.
Hai Rui felt incredibly powerful now, perhaps even able to contend with a true god-level expert!
This completely surpassed the realm of an ordinary level 99 Limit Douluo; he had truly stood at the pinnacle of mortals, touching the realm of gods!
"Hahahaha! Poseidon, this gift of yours is well-deserved!"
Hai Rui laughed wildly again, his laughter mixed with powerful soul force, even causing ripples to spread across the protective shield of the Heavenly Curtain Arena.
Meanwhile, on the Sun and Moon Continent.
Eastern Coast, Han Hai Province.
Inside the magnificent sect headquarters nestled against the mountains and overlooking the sea, an uproar erupted!
This was none other than Hai Rui's sect—the Water Dragon Sect.
"We won! The Ancestor won!!"
"Heaven bless the Water Dragon Sect! Heaven bless the Water Dragon Sect!!"
On the massive training ground, thousands of disciples clad in blue sect robes, watching the overwhelmingly powerful figure in the sky, were flushed with excitement. Some even wept with joy, kneeling and kowtowing frantically towards the heavens.
Before the sect's main hall, several white-haired elders trembled with emotion, tears streaming down their faces.
"Level 99... a Limit Douluo... and a demigod with dual soul cores!"
The First Elder's hand, gripping his cane, trembled. His voice was hoarse yet filled with fervor:
"Ancestors above! My Water Dragon Sect has finally produced a dragon!"
"A thousand years... a full thousand years!"
Another elder was even more excited, pointing at the sky and shouting incoherently:
"Since the upheaval on the continent a thousand years ago, the royal family has suppressed all the major sects to consolidate their rule.
For a thousand years, apart from the royal family's Hall of Worship, not a single Limit Douluo of level 99 has ever been born among the common people!"
"All resources, all opportunities, have been monopolized by the royal family!"
"But today, this curse has been broken!"
"Our ancestor won without a fight, and even used this opportunity to ascend to the heavens in one step!
This is the will of Heaven!
This is the will of Heaven to revive our Water Dragon Sect!"
The entire Water Dragon Sect was plunged into a near-manic joy.
They knew all too well what this meant.
On the Sun Moon Continent, although soul tools were advanced, top-tier individual combat power was still the fundamental deterrent to all sides.
A level 99 Limit Douluo, and a demigod with a divine-level martial soul and dual soul cores, is strategically more significant than a fully armed level 9 soul tool master corps!
From this day forward, the Water Dragon Sect will no longer be a local power confined to a corner of the world.
They will be qualified to stand on equal footing with the royal family, and even leave a significant mark on the power map of the Sun Moon Empire!
"Quickly! Pass down the order!"
The Grand Elder suddenly snapped back to reality, a shrewd and decisive glint in his eyes:
"Immediately activate the sect's protective formation, and put the entire sect on alert!
In case the royal family makes any moves!"
"At the same time, prepare a grand celebration of the highest standard!
The day our Ancestor returns will be the day our Water Dragon Sect proclaims its rise!"
"We must let the entire Sun Moon Continent know that, besides the Sun Moon Royal Family, the Water Dragon Sect also has a place in this world!"
"Yes!!!"
The deafening shouts echoed through the sky, startling countless birds on the beach.
Compared to the utter devastation on the Douluo Continent, the Water Dragon Sect was now a sea of joy, a sacred ground where ambition and hope burned brightly.
However, just as Hai Rui was ecstatic and the Water Dragon Sect was in a frenzy, the scene on the screen did not close with the end of the match.
The radiance that had belonged to the victor gradually faded, replaced by a chilling dark red.
The camera slowly zoomed in, focusing once again on Poseidon, sitting in the corner of the tavern, her face ashen.
And then, there was the Purple Radiance Meteor, which had appeared at the top of the screen sometime during the match, trailing a long, purple-gold tail, falling silently yet with lightning speed towards Poseidon's location like a scythe of death!
