Above Poseidon Island.
Tang Hao and Poseidon were flying through the air, heading toward the Demon Whale Sea.
Below them in the ocean, the Demon Soul Great White Shark Xiao Bai, along with several of her clan members, swam through the sea, following Poseidon and Tang Hao.
Xiao Bai's clan members were extremely excited, swimming with joyful enthusiasm.
As a 100,000-Year Soul Beast, Xiao Bai had also sensed the truth of the matter.
She felt not a hint of sadness, but rather boundless excitement.
"The Deep Sea Demon Whale King has sacrificed itself!
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King has sacrificed itself! Who? Which Soul Master is so powerful that they could force the Deep Sea Demon Whale King to sacrifice itself?
Without the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and with the Evil Orca King also killed, our Magic Great White Sharks will become the rulers of this sea from now on!"
Xiao Bai communicated with her clan members, feeling utterly exhilarated.
Then she called out to the sky, "High Priest, High Priest, can you sense who the Deep Sea Demon Whale King sacrificed itself to?"
In the sky, Poseidon was enveloped in a crimson robe, her sea-blue hair cascading down to her ankles, flowing elegantly as she flew.
In her right hand, she held a golden scepter three meters long, adorned with diamond-shaped golden gemstones, appearing exceedingly luxurious.
Poseidon's brows had already furrowed. "The Deep Sea Demon Whale King—even the Sea God could not make it submit. How could it willingly sacrifice itself to another Soul Master?
There must be a powerful Soul Master who forced the Deep Sea Demon Whale King into a corner. When did such a formidable expert appear?"
The fact that even she, with her strength, could not achieve this was what truly shocked Poseidon.
"Senior, does the Deep Sea Demon Whale King truly possess the power of a Million-Year Soul Beast? Even you are no match for it?" Tang Hao suppressed the jealousy in his heart and asked unwillingly.
Poseidon nodded firmly. "The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's strength is only a step away from that of a God. I wouldn't be surprised if it suddenly ascended to godhood.
When the Sea God attained godhood, he once battled the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and blinded one of its eyes, but that alone is enough to demonstrate the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's might!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Hao's jealousy grew even more uncontrollable.
He was still scheming tirelessly to have Xiao Wu sacrifice herself to his son.
But Xiao Wu was only a 100,000-Year Soul Beast.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King—this was the sacrifice of a Million-Year Soul Beast. Who could have such fortune?
Why wasn't it his son?
Tang Hao's heart was utterly unbalanced.
"Could it be the Spirit Hall's Pope, Bibi Dong? According to a message from my elder brother, Bibi Dong has obtained a God Test, and her power is astonishing. She is already the strongest on the continent.
Moreover, she possesses Twin Soul Spirits. Over two years ago, she only lacked two Spirit Rings to become a Double Ring Title Douluo!" Tang Hao speculated.
This seemed the only possibility.
Wait, no!
Tang Hao quickly added, "Senior, besides Bibi Dong, there is another person who might be capable—the hidden Evil Soul Master. That one managed to steal an External Soul Bone from Bibi Dong's grasp. Its strength is unimaginable!"
Poseidon was taken aback. She spent her days in the Sea God Temple, maintaining an aloof detachment from worldly affairs.
Now, hearing Tang Hao's speculation, her curiosity was piqued. "Tell me about Bibi Dong and this Evil Soul Master!"
Tang Hao immediately launched into an incessantly, hate-filled account of their deeds.
Especially this hidden Evil Soul Master is practically a cancer on the continent.
Plundering External Soul Bones everywhere, secretly stirring up conflicts among various factions—if this person isn't eliminated, the continent will never know peace.
As Tang Hao described the situation, even Xiao Bai in the sea below listened attentively.
The more they listened, the more shocked Poseidon and Xiao Bai became.
How could such an evil individual exist on the continent?
"So, the methods of this Evil Soul Master are all your speculations? No one has seen him, no one knows his Martial Soul attributes or his Soul Power Level?" Poseidon said incredulously.
Tang Hao smiled awkwardly. "This Evil Soul Master always strikes at the perfect moment and vanishes after a single blow. No one has been able to track him down!"
Xiao Bai below immediately exclaimed, "It must be that Evil Soul Master! It must be him who hunted the Deep Sea Demon Whale King!
The battle between them was very brief, and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's Sacrifice happened in an instant.
By the time we reached the Demon Whale Sea, the other party had probably already hidden somewhere to absorb the Spirit Ring!"
Xiao Bai's intuition was sharp. Although Bibi Dong was also powerful, she didn't believe Bibi Dong was behind this incident.
Both Poseidon and Tang Hao somewhat agreed. If Bibi Dong were hunting Spirit Beasts, it would surely be a grand spectacle with many Titled Douluo in tow.
But the silent hunting of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King seemed much more like the style of that Evil Soul Master.
Poseidon's expression turned grave. "He could force the Deep Sea Demon Whale King to perform a Sacrifice, evade Bibi Dong's detection, and control the 100,000-Year Soul Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
To accomplish all this, even a Ninety-Ninth Rank Titled Douluo would find it impossible, unless…"
"Unless what?" Tang Hao asked without hesitation.
"Unless he has obtained a God's inheritance and possesses special abilities!
It's been a long time since a Deity appeared on the continent. Are we about to witness the Birth of a Deity?" Poseidon sighed.
The Sea God's inheritor was still nowhere to be found. Tang San and the others already possessed exceptional talent, yet they still hadn't obtained the Sea God Nine Trials.
But on the continent, Bibi Dong undoubtedly had a God Test, and now this hidden Evil Soul Master likely had one too. The probability of a Deity's birth was already quite high.
Tang Hao took a sharp breath. After so many years on Poseidon Island, he had come to understand that without becoming a God, one remained nothing but an ant. And this hidden Evil Soul Master harbored great hostility toward the Clear Sky Sect.
This made Tang Hao anxious. "Senior, how does one obtain a God's inheritance? Do you think Xiao San still has a chance?"
Poseidon looked at him sadly. "How could obtaining a God's inheritance be so easy? Your grandfather went searching for a Godhood Inheritance when he was invincible on land, and to this day, there's been no word of him!"
Tang Hao was instantly speechless. Yes, his grandfather still hadn't been found!
"Senior, my grandfather once said he was no match for you. Have you not obtained a Godhood Inheritance either?" Tang Hao asked.
Poseidon replied calmly, "I am the Sea God's servant. How could I become a God?"
Tang Hao immediately understood. He had asked this question with a purpose, and now he finally confirmed that the Sea God Temple existed to guard the Sea God's inheritance.
The Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo and Poseidon had all undergone the Sea God's trials, but these trials were likely similar to those Tang San and the others received—not a Godhood Inheritance.
So, how exactly does one obtain the Sea God's inheritance?
At this moment, Tang Hao only knew of the Sea God, and he desperately hoped his son could receive the Sea God's inheritance.
Poseidon, however, saw through Tang Hao's thoughts, but the Sea God's inheritance could only be granted by the Sea God through the Sacred Pillar Trial. No one else could decide such matters.
No matter what Tang Hao thought, it was nothing more than wishful thinking.
