Chapter 411 Tang Chen Becomes a God
Poseidon Island.
Poseidon, dressed in a pristine white gown, stood before the temple of Neptune, the sea breeze ruffling her hair.
The pale blue power of the sea god flowed slowly around him, his temperament remained aloof and otherworldly, yet he had gained a touch of gentle warmth.
Beside her, Tang Chen stood tall and straight like an ancient pine tree, the weariness and slumber that had once clung to him for so many years had long since vanished.
Instead, he exuded a refined, profound, and subtly powerful divine aura.
After being baptized by the power of the plane's origin, and with Poseidon's careful assistance, using her own sea god power to clear his meridians.
This former Haotian Douluo finally broke through the bottleneck of the Limit Douluo that he had been stuck in for many years, successfully took that crucial step, and advanced to the god level.
He became a true god-like being.
After years of obsession, a fulfillment has been achieved, and a breakthrough in strength has been made.
More importantly, he finally possessed the means to stay with Poseidon and stand shoulder to shoulder with her.
He once thought that with his damaged body and foundation, even if he exhausted all his strength, he could not achieve anything without decades of arduous cultivation.
Even if one spends their entire life, they may not be able to break through the threshold of godhood, and in the end, they can only end up with regrets.
But this unexpected stroke of luck completely rewrote his destiny, allowing him to achieve his wish.
At this moment, the two of them looked up together, gazing at the list of deities in the sky.
Upon seeing the name of the seventeenth Deep Sea Demon Whale King, everyone's expression shifted slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes, but they were not too surprised.
A slight ripple appeared in Poseidon's cool eyes as she spoke softly, her tone calm.
"It is somewhat unexpected that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is ranked at the bottom of the list of gods, but upon closer examination, it makes sense."
This dimensional advancement brought with it the power of origin that swept across the entire Douluo Continent, benefiting all living beings.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was already a veteran million-year-old soul beast with a solid foundation. It was perfectly normal for it to use this opportunity to solidify its god-level status and enhance its strength.
On the continent, countless powerful individuals are lurking.
There must be quite a few who have broken through to the god level thanks to this opportunity.
It's not impossible for the Deep Sea Demon Whale King to be surpassed by later generations.
Moreover, with her current strength, plus Tang Chen who has become a god by her side, even if the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is strong, he will always just be the overlord of the sea.
Since she couldn't even make a dent in Poseidon Island by landing, she naturally didn't take it to heart.
Upon hearing this, Tang Chen turned to look at the woman he had been longing for beside him, a relieved yet expectant smile on his face.
Her eyes were full of tenderness, and her tone carried a hint of curiosity and expectation.
"You're right, everyone has a destiny in the face of fate."
"I just wonder, where would you and I rank on this list of deities?"
He was filled with emotion, realizing that he was incredibly lucky to have broken through to the god level.
While I'm curious about the rankings, I'm not overly fixated on them.
I would be content as long as I could be by Poseidon's side.
Poseidon shook her head slightly, a hint of confusion in her eyes.
"I have no way of knowing either. This upheaval is too astonishing, and powerful figures hidden in various parts of the continent have emerged one after another."
"We, on Seagod Island, have no idea how many new god-level powerhouses have been born. We can only wait for the heavens to reveal the answer."
As soon as he finished speaking, the golden sky above suddenly burst forth.
A golden light even more dazzling than before.
"Boom boom boom!"
Golden light swirled across the sky, and a vast aura descended from the heavens, enveloping the entire continent.
Everyone's attention was instantly drawn, holding their breath and waiting for the next ranking to be announced.
Immediately afterwards, a line of large, gold-plated characters appeared clearly on the light screen.
The sixteenth person on the list of deities has been officially revealed!
[Ranking on the Gods List - Sixteenth Place: Tang Chen]
[Ranking Commentary: The first generation genius of the Clear Sky Sect, the Clear Sky Douluo, broke through the limits to become a god, with a solid foundation and outstanding talent]
[Ranking Reward: A perfect enhancement of divine power within the body, advancing the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul to a divine-level Martial Soul: Clear Sky Hammer]
The moment the list was announced, it caused another huge uproar across the entire Douluo Continent, with countless people exclaiming in surprise!
"Tang Chen! It's actually Tang Chen! The legendary Haotian Douluo!"
"He actually broke through to the god level too!"
"The Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul has advanced to the God-level! This reward is simply too incredible!"
"..."
The news spread, shaking the entire continent. In particular, the older generation of powerful figures who had interacted with the Haotian Sect or knew of Tang Chen's reputation were filled with shock and disbelief.
This man, who once stood at the pinnacle of the Douluo Continent, has been silent for many years.
It's surprising that they've returned to the public eye in this way.
Moreover, they directly stepped into the god-level realm!
Tang Chen, who was on Poseidon Island, saw his name appear on the sky the moment it appeared.
He was slightly stunned, and before he could react, the reward from the sky crashed down!
"boom!"
A dazzling golden beam of light descended from the sky and enveloped Tang Chen's body.
His innate martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, unconsciously surfaced within him.
The heavy, black Haotian Hammer hovered in mid-air, exuding the powerful aura that once suppressed heaven and earth.
The next moment, the massive amount of divine power from the heavens and the origin of the plane within the golden pillar of light surged into the Haotian Hammer like a raging torrent.
The Haotian Hammer, which was originally pitch black, was instantly enveloped in golden light.
The hammer vibrated violently, emitting bursts of humming, as if it were undergoing a transformative forging process.
As the golden light flowed, the shape of the Haotian Hammer became increasingly condensed and imposing.
On the hammer, mysterious and complex golden divine patterns slowly emerged, as if the laws of heaven and earth were engraved on it.
Every line of the pattern exudes a powerful and chilling aura.
The original top-tier weapon spirit has undergone a complete transformation at this moment, and has been promoted to a true god-level spirit!
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
At the same time, a massive amount of divine power surged into Tang Chen's body, tempering his physique and strengthening his newly broken-through, still immature, divine power.
This makes it more robust and stable.
A vast, divine pressure erupted from Tang Chen, soaring straight into the sky.
Even from a great distance, the ordinary people and disciples of the Sea God on Poseidon Island felt their hearts tremble, and they all bowed and paid their respects, not daring to look directly at him.
"Very good!"
Poseidon stood to the side, her beautiful eyes sparkling with golden light, full of surprise and relief.
She could clearly sense that Tang Chen's strength was improving at a visible rate.
With his divine foundation completely solidified, his strength was far greater than when he broke through to the divine level!
"Is this the brand-new Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul?"
As the golden light faded, Tang Chen slowly retrieved his divine-level Haotian Hammer.
Looking down at the martial spirit in his palm, whose aura was completely different and whose power was earth-shattering, his eyes were filled with uncontrollable ecstasy.
The brand-new divine-level Haotian Hammer is more than twice as powerful as before.
The golden divine patterns on the hammer's body contain destructive power, and even without activating divine power, they exude a heavy aura that suppresses everything.
The sheer pressure of the martial soul itself is enough to make ordinary titled Douluo bow down in submission!
