Chapter 18 Fifth on the Golden List! The Trident of Poseidon?!
A bitter smile unconsciously crept onto Gu Yuena's lips.
Double the energy...
If you were still here, this would be an absolute treasure.
But now, it's nothing more than a useless trifle to me.
It will only make me miss you more...
Buzz—!
Just then, the rewards from the Heavenly Ranking were completely distributed.
The immense divine power completely merged into Gu Yuena's limbs and bones.
In an instant, a dazzling silver light shot out from her body, stirring up the winds and clouds of the heavens!
Her waist-length silver hair moved without wind, dancing freely like the Milky Way in the sky, each strand shimmering with divine radiance.
Her silver dress, stirred by divine power, clung tightly to her flawless body, outlining her breathtaking curves to the fullest.
Especially beneath the skirt, her long, straight, jade-like legs, with skin as white as snow and as smooth as jade, seemed like the most perfect work of art in the world under the silver light. Any more would be too plump, any less would be too thin, full of sacred yet deadly allure.
A terrifying pressure, surpassing heaven and earth, slowly emanated from her body.
All the fanatical soul beasts fell silent instantly under this oppressive force, prostrating themselves on the ground and welcoming the return of their sovereign with the utmost devotion.
Gu Yuena slowly opened her eyes.
But there was no joy in her eyes.
Only endless longing and eternal loneliness remain.
The Heavenly Ranking, high above the nine heavens, still shines brightly.
Gu Yuena's restoration to her peak divine form shocked the entire continent.
...
On the far west coast, all of this seems rather distant.
Hanhai City.
The majestic city at the westernmost edge of the Douluo Continent.
The salty sea breeze blows year-round, whipping up waves like piles of snow, tirelessly crashing against the ancient and sturdy city walls.
Amidst towering waves, a massive, sky-obscuring great white shark broke through the turbulence and landed steadily on a secluded shore.
A tall, slender figure leaped off the shark's back, with black hair and black eyes, exuding an extraordinary aura.
It was Lu Ming.
Behind him, the body of the Demon Soul Great White Shark emitted bursts of blue light. When the light dissipated, it transformed into a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in a blue outfit, exuding a heroic and dashing aura.
Bai Xiuxiu quickly followed and stood respectfully behind Lu Ming.
Lu Ming ignored the scenery around him; he simply raised his head and gazed at the huge golden sky in the distance.
Above the sky, Gu Yuena's stunningly beautiful face, capable of captivating all beings, was clearly reflected.
The lingering tear stain at the corner of her eye, and the unyielding loneliness and longing in her eyes, still pierced the heart even across billions of miles.
Lu Ming raised an eyebrow slightly.
His expression showed neither emotion nor sadness, but rather a hint of unexpected surprise and a touch of helpless frustration.
"That girl Nana…"
He muttered to himself softly, his voice carrying a familiarity.
"They actually thought I was dead?"
"And for this...she shed the tears of the Silver Dragon King?"
Bai Xiuxiu, who was standing behind him, trembled violently upon hearing these words.
Her eyes were filled with shock as she looked at Lu Ming.
Tears of the Silver Dragon King!
Those are the tears of origin of the Lord of Soul Beasts!
What deep love and longing could make that high and mighty lord shed such tears for his master?
Bai Xiuxiu took a deep breath and exclaimed sincerely.
"My lord... I really like you, my master."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ming's lips twitched slightly, but he remained noncommittal.
He was certainly aware of Gu Yuena's feelings for him.
Unexpectedly, after only a few years of slumber, she was directly judged to have "died of old age."
Bai Xiuxiu looked at the Silver Dragon King on the sky, who had recovered his peak divine power, and then looked at Lu Ming beside her, tentatively asking.
"Master, should we... go to the Star Dou Great Forest first?"
In her mind, her master and lord, having been separated for so long, would surely meet each other immediately upon their reunion.
Lu Ming remained silent.
His slender fingers gently stroked his chin, a thoughtful look flashing in his deep eyes.
He also misses Nana very much.
But...
Lu Ming's gaze unconsciously drifted back to the last line of small print about the rewards on the sky.
"Double the energy."
Just thinking about those four words made Lu Ming feel a slight ache in his lower back.
He knows Gu Yuena too well.
That girl had an almost obsessive possessiveness towards him.
Now she believes she has "come back to life," received the reward from the Heavenly Ranking, regained her peak strength, and even doubled her energy...
If I were to offer myself up now, I'm afraid it would take me three to five months to leave the island in the heart of the Lake of Life.
Moreover, he hadn't yet figured out how to explain his secret of immortality to her.
Lu Ming shivered.
Given Gu Yuena's personality, she would never let herself off so easily.
By then, it will probably be a problem that can't be solved in three to five months.
Lu Ming's thoughts raced, and a second option came to mind.
Go to Jialing Pass.
Xue'er should be overseeing things there right now.
However, before leaving, he had already left several contingency plans for the Spirit Empire.
Even without him, there was absolutely no chance of defeat against those Shrek kids.
Therefore, the situation at Jialing Pass is not urgent.
That leaves only the third option.
Go to Tiandou City.
We must retrieve the Blue Silver Emperor, which was sacrificed by Tang Hao, forcibly resurrected by Tang San, and imprisoned in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Calculating the distance, Hanhai City is the closest to Tiandou City.
Moreover, Tiandou City is not far from Jialing Pass. After dealing with A Yin's matter, it's convenient to go to Jialing Pass.
Okay, let's do it that way.
Lu Ming made a decision in an instant.
He turned around, looked at Bai Xiuxiu, and gave her instructions in a calm tone.
"Let's go to Tiandou City."
Bai Xiuxiu was slightly taken aback, but she didn't ask any further questions and simply nodded respectfully.
"Yes, Master."
Buzz—!
Just as they were preparing to set off, the Heavenly Ranking in the Nine Heavens suddenly changed once again.
The image that originally reflected Gu Yuena's figure rippled out like water and slowly disappeared.
Instead, there is a deep and boundless blue sea.
In the middle of the ocean, a magnificent trident, entirely azure and inlaid with countless gems, floats silently.
It exudes an aura of dominance, as if the entire ocean were its subjects.
Immediately afterwards, new golden characters slowly appeared on the sky.
[Ranked fifth on the Douluo Continent Rare Treasures List: The Trident of the Sea God!]
This is the physical manifestation of Poseidon's original martial spirit!
[Now weighing approximately 108,000 jin, it possesses the divine skill of the Golden Thirteen Halberds!]
Poseidon once wielded this halberd and spent 1,001 years unifying the various sea tribes. Later, upon becoming a god, he refined it into a true divine weapon.
His descendant, Tang San, passed the Nine Trials of the Sea God and pulled out this trident. In the final battle against the Angel God Qian Renxue, the Sea God's Heart shattered, but by chance, Tang San fused with it, allowing it to advance to a half-step super artifact!
