Chapter 306: One Thousand and One Steps to the Top of the Sea Temple (Single Chapter)
Poseidon Island
Central restricted area, at the foot of Poseidon Mountain.
Huo Yuhao and others looked at the sacred mountain outside Huanhai, shrouded in a mysterious light curtain.
Divine Realm·Light of Poseidon
Huo Yuhao held hands with the Snow Emperor and flew across the surrounding sea, arriving at the foot of Poseidon Mountain and looking up.
Ice Emperor and Zi Ling followed closely behind.
Huo Yuhao's heart moved, and he originally wanted to let go of the Snow Emperor's hand and go test the situation himself.
However, what was unexpected was that Emperor Xue held his hand tightly and gently squeezed his palm.
Huo Yuhao turned his head and stared at the beauty beside him, their eyes meeting each other.
Snow Emperor raised his hand and elegantly pushed his hair behind his ears without saying a word.
Huo Yuhao smiled knowingly, took the Snow Emperor's hand and walked towards the white jade stairs ahead.
The moment his feet stepped on the white jade stairs, an extremely powerful rebound force suddenly burst out, causing the surrounding void light world to distort and deform.
Huo Yuhao held the Snow Emperor's hand and leisurely climbed up the white jade steps step by step, his movements calm and relaxed.
Beyond the sea.
The purple-robed deacon who was still staying was shocked when he saw this scene.
Two people climbing together? Wouldn’t the difficulty of such an assessment be doubled? What exactly do they want to do?
Huo Yuhao and Snow Emperor were not disturbed by the outside world and just walked leisurely upward.
I have survived the extreme environment of the ice field. In comparison, Poseidon's Light is too gentle.
Their figures gradually drifted away, gradually disappearing at the end of the white jade stairs.
————
This is completely against the rules!
Do you want to get by by relying on the protection of the strong?
The purple-clad deacon’s mind was buzzing.
If this is the case, then the difficulty of the assessment will undergo a qualitative change. It will no longer be as simple as simply superimposing two difficulty levels, but will be calculated according to the difficulty of the highest ranking person!
This is undoubtedly turning on the hell mode!
Not only will the number of stairs that originally need to be climbed double, it will even greatly exceed the assessment limit!
——
At this time, Poseidon's light seemed to feel the provocation, and the ripples of light became violent, carrying unparalleled pressure, causing the surrounding space to distort and transform into a strange scene.
The aura generated by the distortion of the void swept across like a violent storm. The powerful air flow was like a strong wind blowing down from the top of the plateau, carrying unparalleled power.
The mountain wind roared past, setting off waves of strong winds and huge waves, making people's clothes rustle, but this terrifying momentum did not make Huo Yuhao and Huo Yuhao take even half a step back.
——
Outside the central penalty area.
The deacon in purple eyes widened with a look of disbelief on his face, and his heart was filled with astonishment and doubt.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao completely ignored the incompetent fury of Poseidon's Light.
Holding hands with the Snow Emperor, he had already crossed the five hundred steps and climbed to the hillside of Poseidon Mountain, overlooking the beautiful scenery below.
The cool mountain breeze blew their faces, bringing a slight chill.
They chatted in a few words, with cheerful smiles on their faces.
In the distance, seabirds soared in the sky, and the sky was clear.
The sun shines on the sea, creating layers of golden ripples, which is so beautiful.
The Poseidon's Light seemed to be completely angered, setting off a terrible storm in the void, causing chaos and distortion.
…
Poseidon Temple, apse
In the dark hall, thick chains hung in the air, shining with a cold metallic luster. Surrounded by various lifelike relief sea beasts, they are either mighty and majestic, or ferocious and terrifying, giving people a strong feeling. visual impact.
Right in front stood an extremely majestic statue, wearing heavy armor, holding a trident, and stepping on the surging waves. A group of ferocious ocean soul beasts followed behind him.
Bo Saixi, who was praying in front of the statue, suddenly opened his eyes, and an imperceptible shock flashed through his blue eyes.
She immediately stood up, raised her hand to hold the crystal scepter that symbolized power and status, glanced at the inverted artifact sealed on the central Poseidon platform, and walked out of the hall, dragging her long red robe embroidered with gold.
…
Poseidon Temple.
Bo Saixi stood in front of the Poseidon Temple, looking down at the endless white jade stairs below, a hint of emotion flashed in his eyes.
Huo Yuhao and Snow Emperor walked side by side. Their steps were light, as if they were walking on the clouds. The Poseidon's light shrouded behind them was like surging waves, restless and roaring. The void was distorted and deformed, exuding the heart-stopping power of Poseidon. pressure.
However, these two people turned a blind eye to such a powerful force and were not affected at all.
Seeing this scene, Bo Saixi couldn't help but feel a little complicated in his heart.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao seemed to have something in his heart. He suddenly looked up and his eyes met Bo Saixi in front of the temple.
He smiled slightly, his smile gentle and polite, as if the spring breeze was blowing on his face.
The Snow Emperor also followed his gaze and saw Bo Saixi standing on the top of the mountain, her red robe embroidered with gold fluttering in the wind, her dark blue hair flying freely in the void, her eyes as cold as ice, and she could not eat the fireworks of this world. .
Huo Yuhao and Snow Emperor held hands and walked towards the top of Poseidon Mountain step by step.
No matter how hard Poseidon's light exerted, it could not stop their progress. Their figures were as illusory as ghosts, and they easily passed through many obstacles, gradually approaching the mysterious and solemn Poseidon Temple.
Finally, they crossed the daunting 1001 steps and reached the front of the Seagod Temple.
At this moment, all the pressure they had endured was released like a surging tide.
One 101 steps, that's all.
Standing in front of the temple door, Huo Yuhao stared at Poseidon quietly, with a faint smile on his face: "Is it not disturbing you?"
Poseidon shook his head slightly, her eyes were gentle and peaceful. Then, Huo Yuhao's eyebrows suddenly shone with dazzling light, and the Seagod Mark suddenly appeared.
The Seagod Mark exuded a powerful aura, as if it was integrated with the entire Seagod Temple. Its appearance caused resonance in the surrounding space, and a mysterious and ancient power began to surge.
[Congratulations, you have exceeded the first assessment of the Sea God, crossed the 1001st level, and personally reached the top of the Sea God Temple]
[Rewards]
[Reward 1: Soul power level increased by one level] (level 79)
[Reward 2: All soul rings have an overall increase of 2,000 years]
[Affinity: ? ? ? ]
Huo Yuhao upgraded on the spot, and soul ring configurations appeared under his feet, becoming the most dazzling halo on him.
Soul ring age increase
This is not a significant improvement for the second and fourth soul rings, which are already "black", and for other super-level soul rings, it is even like a mosquito leg.
"Since you two are here, are you willing to follow me into the Sea God Temple to take a look?" Poseidon said in a gentle manner.
"Then it is better to obey than to be respectful." Huo Yuhao smiled brightly.
...
Inside the Sea God Temple.
The light shone into the hall, Poseidon led the way in front, Huo Yuhao and Xue Di followed behind him, and the crisp footsteps broke the silence of the temple.
Inside the temple stood vermilion pillars, and the ground was paved with black tiles, like a mirror, reflecting the figures of pedestrians.
The front hall was wide, with candlelight flickering and incense offerings.
Huo Yuhao had set foot in many similar temples.
The Angel Temple of the Spirit Hall
The Shura Temple of the Slaughter City
The Frost Temple of the Far North
The layout of the temples was basically the same.
Passing through the curtains, a majestic and tall statue stood in front of him. The burly man stepping on the waves, wearing royal blue armor, holding a golden trident, posing a high-spirited fighting posture, surrounded by various marine soul beasts.
"Is this the legendary sea god?" Huo Yuhao stared at the statue in front of him and said softly.
Poseidon looked up at the tall statue, "Lord Seagod has gone through thousands of years, collected the faith of the four seas, conquered the sea, and thus created the throne of the sea god, becoming the Seagod."
"Really amazing." Huo Yuhao praised.
In short, it was not easy to create a throne in ancient times.
"You can get the favor of three gods at the same time, which is also amazing." Poseidon said calmly.
"I don't deserve it." Huo Yuhao just smiled and denied it.
"It took me three years to pass the 264th step of the Seagod's Light test." Poseidon looked at Huo Yuhao deeply.
The first time he climbed the steps, he stepped directly on the 1001st step and passed the test on the spot.
What kind of monster is this? It can't be judged by common sense at all.
"I wonder if the senior has heard of the three forbidden areas of the ocean?" Huo Yuhao casually brought up the topic.
Poseidon's face changed slightly, and his brows frowned slightly.
Seeing that Huo Yuhao was always looking at her, she nodded slightly.
"In the biography, Lord Poseidon encountered some troubles when he conquered the four seas." Poseidon began.
"The three major forbidden areas in the ocean are the 'Forbidden Sea' in the East China Sea, the 'Eternal Frozen Sea' in the West, and the 'Returning Ruins' in the southern seas." Poseidon was very secretive about this.
Huo Yuhao had heard the Evil Emperor mention the three major forbidden areas.
The "Forbidden Sea" in the East China Sea is the sea area dominated by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and the forbidden area in the west is controlled by the mermaids, which should correspond to the "Eternal Frozen Sea".
As for the "Returning Ruins" in the southern seas?
He only heard that there was an extremely high-level "octopus" lurking there, and he knew nothing else.
"Compared to the other two places, the 'Forbidden Sea' in the East China Sea is closest to the Sea God Island. In the depths of the Forbidden Sea, there is a deep-sea demon whale king with a lifespan of more than 300,000 years, but a cultivation level of nearly a million years! It uses its devouring ability to devour high-level sea soul beasts to strengthen itself. It is also the biggest obstacle on the way to becoming a god for the Sea God." Poseidon's tone was extremely solemn.
"What happened later?" Huo Yuhao asked.
He did know some of the content. He knew that the deep-sea demon whale king was not dead, and later made a wedding dress for Tang San.
His idea was to let the deep-sea demon whale king explode gold coins in advance.
Wedding dress? It belongs to me.
Unless he is the second evil emperor, a sensible and pitiful child.
The Snow Queen also cast a curious look.
To be the enemy of God, that weight is extremely heavy.
"In the battle for the power of the sea, it lost to the Sea God and had one eye stabbed blind. After the Sea God became a god, he spared its life for some reasons."
"Who would have thought that the beast not only did not know how to be grateful, but after the Sea God ascended to the God Realm, it drove the beast tide to invade the Sea God Island several times, and the Heart of the Sea God was lost in several chaotic situations." Poseidon sighed.
"It devoured high-level sea soul beasts wantonly, and it can also launch a beast tide?" Xue Di asked her own question.
He corrupted all the soul beast believers under his command, and he was notorious. Who would be willing to listen to his orders?
Neither Emperor Tian nor himself could use such an extreme method.
Otherwise, if something really happened, it would be "the king will fight alone against many enemies", and it would be easy to be targeted and end up defeated.
Huo Yuhao also had doubts in his heart.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King rose up by devouring, but it is still unclear whether he was as brutal and murderous as rumored, after all, he failed in his fight for power.
Of course, violent coercion and driving sea soul beasts cannot be ruled out.
"I don't know much about this." Poseidon shook his head directly on this question.
Snow Queen did not hold on to this question, everyone had to be decent.
"What about the other two forbidden areas? Did they not embarrass the Sea God?" Huo Yuhao asked.
"There were some frictions, but in the end they were all convinced by the personality charm of the Sea God and were willing to worship him as the 'Common Lord of the Sea'." Poseidon said.
Hearing these familiar words, Snow Queen turned her head and her eyes met with Huo Yuhao.
Regional integration, this is a common routine.
The Frost Goddess has used it, and so has Emperor Tian.
The nature of the matter is a bit like letting the vassal states split off from the vassal kings and recognize the legitimacy of the other party's succession to the throne.
After the matter was over, according to the prior agreement, the vassal kings still had internal power and autonomy.
This was the contract drawn up with the new emperor before he "ascended the throne".
Power and autonomy, not following.
There are also those who follow the gods, such as Xiaobai and her demon soul great white shark tribe.
Among the three major forbidden areas, two of them chose to let the sea god take over the authority of the ocean, and there must be a distribution of interests.
If so, the battle for power at the beginning may not be as decent as recorded in the legend.
It is very likely that the record is that the sea god fought with the deep-sea demon whale king for hundreds of rounds, and finally blew up one of the other's eyes, won the victory, successfully seized the authority of the ocean, and became a god.
The real situation is very likely that the sea god called the masters of the other two forbidden areas, and the three of them surrounded and beat the deep-sea demon whale king, blew up one of the other's eyes, won the victory, divided the authority of the ocean, and helped to become a god.
After all, even a level 99 peerless Douluo has his limits on the sea.
It is very difficult to defeat the Deep Sea Demon Whale King who has cultivated for nearly a million years alone.
The most important thing is, when he realizes that he can't beat you, won't he run away?
Therefore, there is probably something fishy.
From Rong Nianbing, he heard about the former Sea God's mean temper, and maybe he really did this.
After all, the records and legends of Sea God Island are only one family's words.
"The relationship between Sea God Island and the mermaids in the 'Eternal Frozen Sea' should be quite good, right?" Huo Yuhao asked.
There is a mermaid among the seven holy pillars of Sea God Island.
Sea God Island is in the east, and the Everfrozen Sea is in the far west. They are so far apart and can still get together. This relationship must be extraordinary.
"Well, it is said that the location of Sea God Island was chosen by the queen of the mermaids back then." Poseidon nodded.
"However, since the Seagod ascended to the God Realm, perhaps because the distance is too far, the relationship between the Seagod Island and the Everfrozen Sea has gradually faded." Poseidon said.
As soon as these words came out, Huo Yuhao immediately smelled the scent of something fishy.
The relationship here is probably not simple.
He even imagined a love-hate relationship in his mind.
As the Seagod was a unique and flamboyant figure of that era, how could he be pure and become a god alone?
The Queen of the Mermaid Tribe is absolutely top-notch in terms of appearance, identity, status, and strength.
Can he resist being tempted? Didn't he stretch out his dog's claws?
Even dogs don't believe it!
Before the Frost Goddess became a god, she might have had a long-cherished wish.
"The Deep Sea Demon Whale King in the Forbidden Sea in the East, the Mermaid Tribe in the Everfrozen Sea in the West, then what is the 'Guixu' in the southern sea area?" Huo Yuhao asked.
What is the origin of the octopus that the Evil Emperor mentioned?
