---------------------------------------------------------------------
The absorption of the second soul ring from the Time Pearl went smoothly, granting Ye Wen a second resurrection slot.
His cultivation also increased from level 93 to 95, officially crossing the threshold into the realm of a true Title Douluo powerhouse.
Additionally, the Evil Demon Tiger Whale King provided a left arm bone.
Soul Bone Skill 1: Evil Demon Tiger Whale Mirror Annihilation – An upgraded version of Void Barrier. In addition to pure defense, it now possesses offensive capabilities.
Soul Bone Skill 2: Evil Domain – Within the domain's range, it induces the growth of evil thoughts and disrupts the mind.
It wasn't much, but at this point in the Douluo Continent, Ye Wen already considered himself invincible.
On the way back, Xiao Bai still had tears streaming down her face, which softened Ye Wen's heart a little.
"Survival of the fittest, only the strong survive. The grudge between your Great White Shark clan and the Evil Demon Tiger Whales is something you'll have to resolve on your own. Now that they no longer have a 100,000-year leader, how you weaken them is up to you."
With that, Ye Wen fled back to Sea God Island as if running away.
Bullying little girls really wasn't something a gentleman like him should do.
Xiao Bai, however, seemed lost in thought. Transforming back into her Great White Shark form, she hurriedly returned to her clan.
Even without their 100,000-year Evil Demon Tiger Whale King, the Evil Demon Tiger Whale clan was still not something Xiao Bai could defeat alone.
After all, the Evil Demon Tiger Whale clan was naturally larger and stronger than the Great White Shark clan. A 90,000-year Evil Demon Tiger Whale was enough to match Xiao Bai.
It was time to rally the power of the masses.
"Listen up, everyone! The Evil Demon Tiger Whale clan no longer has their king. Let's settle old scores—revenge for those who have grievances!"
In an instant, the surrounding waters turned crimson with blood. Such was the brutality of clan warfare.
"The fourth trial of the Sea God's nine trials: The Battle of the Shark and Whale—complete.
Reward: 10% increase in Sea God affinity, +1 soul power.
The fifth trial of the Sea God's nine trials: Dominate the Seven Holy Pillars. Defeat the seven Holy Pillar Douluo to pass."
Having just increased his level, Ye Wen's cultivation soared yet again, making him smack his lips in satisfaction. He now somewhat understood the joy Tang San felt in the original story when he started "cheating" in the later stages.
However, facing the combined forces of seven Douluos?
It was challenging, but not overly so.
Though Title Douluos were seen as untouchable by ordinary soul masters, these seven Holy Pillar Douluos had undergone the black-level Sea God trials, making them far stronger than average Title Douluos.
The strongest among them was the 95th-level Sea Dragon Douluo, while the remaining six hovered around the 94th level or lower.
But to Ye Wen, they posed no real threat—his abilities were simply too overpowered.
Upon returning to Sea God Island, Ye Wen saw that the seven Holy Pillar Douluos had already anticipated his arrival and set up an array at the port.
Poseidon was truly impatient. Not even giving him a moment to catch his breath—was he really that eager to see Ye Wen embarrass himself?
But at this moment, Ye Wen didn't feel like he would lose at all. With a slight smile, he asked, "Are you all ready, seniors?"
The seven Holy Pillar Douluos didn't respond. Instead, they summoned their martial souls and soul rings, causing the area to flash with light.
The leader, the Sea Dragon Douluo, shouted loudly, "Forgive us, Young Master Ye Wen!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, a barrage of attacks surged toward Ye Wen. Against such an onslaught, even an ordinary Super Douluo might suffer serious injuries.
But Ye Wen stood calmly in place, allowing the attacks to hit him.
"Fourth Soul Skill: Inner Space—"
As the saying goes, no matter how powerful the attack, if it can't hit its target, it's meaningless.
"Seventh Soul Skill: Domain Expansion—
Heaven and Earth, I Alone Am Supreme."
In just a few seconds, Ye Wen had completed his soul ring fusion and expanded his domain, enveloping everyone present in a world under his complete control.
"Seniors, will you surrender, or shall I beat you into submission?"
The seven Holy Pillar Douluos' faces grew grim. Experienced as they were, they fully understood the overwhelming power of Ye Wen's True Body martial soul.
But as the pillars of Sea God Island, surrender was not a word in their vocabulary.
There was only defeat, not surrender.
Since they were part of his future foundation, Ye Wen didn't intend to go all out. He merely used spatial vibrations to lightly knock them unconscious.
Looking at the sorry state of the seven Douluos, the Sea Dragon Douluo wiped the blood from his mouth and bitterly mocked himself.
"No wonder you're the Sea God's chosen heir, Young Master Ye Wen. You truly deserve this title."
Ye Wen chuckled indifferently and began healing their wounds. Though he had held back with the spatial vibrations, the damage inflicted was still severe. If they relied solely on natural recovery, it might take years to heal.
"The fifth trial of the Sea God's nine trials: Dominate the Seven Holy Pillars—complete.
Reward: 15% increase in Sea God affinity, +1 cultivation level, +20,000 years to all soul ring durations."
No wonder he was called the Sea King—no, the Sea God. His rewards were truly generous.
Unlike that stingy Rakshasa God next door.
At level 97, Ye Wen had almost reached the ceiling of Douluo Star. His understanding of his martial soul had deepened further.
Unfortunately, this kind of rapid cultivation came with drawbacks—his mastery of his martial soul was slightly weaker compared to soul masters who had painstakingly climbed to the same level through hard work.
But with this kind of advancement speed, such flaws could be overlooked.
At this moment, the new Sea God divine trial descended.
"The sixth trial of the Sea God's nine trials: Reign Over Sea God Island.
Defeat the Sea God Island High Priest, Bo Saixi."
Upon learning the content of the trial, Ye Wen fell silent for a moment.
Among the three current invincibles, Bo Saixi, the unrivaled ruler of the seas.
Though Ye Wen wasn't afraid of Bo Saixi, this trial truly marked the beginning of their confrontation.
"How exciting, Bo Saixi. I wonder if you'll accidentally kill me during our battle? Hmph, let's see what choice you make. Your future truly rests in your hands now," Ye Wen thought with amusement.
Strength made one confident.
Meanwhile, Bo Saixi, who had been praying in the Sea God Palace, received a divine decree from Poseidon. Her eyes flickered with complex emotions, as if struggling internally.
In just a few short days, the other party had already reached the sixth trial of the Sea God. Time was running out for her.
But how much of her feelings for Tang Chen remained? Was there still a reason to wait?
Perhaps battling the next Sea God would bring her clarity.
Bo Saixi, after all, was a Limit Douluo with years of experience. She quickly steadied her mind and quietly awaited Ye Wen's challenge.
However, undergoing two divine trials in a single day had left Ye Wen feeling somewhat fatigued.
And his next opponent was none other than the Limit Douluo Bo Saixi.
Ye Wen didn't believe she lacked the means to harm him. As the high priest of the Sea God, she undoubtedly possessed divine power. Moreover, the trial's requirements didn't include holding back.
Rest and recuperate—it would have to wait until tomorrow.
