Chapter 179: Sea God Island is "Exposed"
Just as the various powers were preoccupied with their own thoughts!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Above the heavenly curtain, the majestic golden light shifted once again.
A faint phantom emerged, depicting an island suspended within a sea of clouds.
In the center of the island, a massive golden divine pillar pierced the clouds. Countless complex patterns were engraved on its surface, radiating an awe-inspiring Sea God's Divine Might!
Countless people gasped, their hearts pounding wildly!
"It's there! It's that place!"
"Sea God Island! It's definitely Sea God Island!"
"Besides Sea God Island, what other power could possess such a holy yet domineering Divine Might?"
The continent's gaze instantly focused on the heavenly curtain.
Everyone knew that a true top-tier power was finally about to take the stage!
Following that, detailed information, accompanied by the sacred sound of the tides, washed through everyone's hearts!
[Douluo Continent power ranking list, Fourth Place: Sea God Island]
[Reason for Ranking: The Holy Land of the Sea God's faith and Legacy, independent of the continent's system, guarding the ocean's order and faith within the endless vast ocean. Presiding over it: Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi, a Rank 99 Limit Douluo, the Human Spokesperson for the Sea God, wielding a portion of the ocean's authority, with unfathomable strength. Additionally, it possesses the 'Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians', all at the Titled Douluo Realm, each guarding one of the seven sacred pillars of Sea God Island, forming the core of Sea God Island's defense and Legacy. Overall Rank: Fourth.]
[Ranking Rewards:]
1. Deepened Sea God's Favor: The overall degree of the Sea God's Favor toward Sea God Island is permanently increased by 20%. Affinity with the Sea God's divine force is increased, and the ocean environment's buff effects for Sea God Island Soul Masters are enhanced.
2. Sacred Pillar Spirit Ring Baptism: All direct members of Sea God Island and the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians will have the age of all their Soul Rings immediately increased by 1,300 years.
3. Ocean Resource Bestowal: Rewards include various top-tier rare ocean resources such as Deep Sea Sunken Silver, Ten-Thousand-Year Coral Gold, and Sea Soul Crystals, which can significantly strengthen Sea God Island's buildings, spirit tools, and cultivation environments.
4. Sea God Island Domain Sublimation: Within the next year, the cultivation speed of all Soul Masters belonging to Sea God Island within the island and its surrounding hundred miles of sea will increase by 30%... Fourth place, Sea God Island!
Eight Titled Douluo!
Among them is the Limit Douluo Bo Saixi!
When this terrifying lineup was revealed without reservation to the entire Douluo Continent!
The shock it brought was far more violent and lasting than any previous power on the list!
"Ei... Eight Titled Douluo? My God!"
"Limit Douluo Bo Saixi! And seven Titled Douluo guardians! This strength..."
"Sea God Island! So it has been hidden overseas all along, possessing such terrifying power!"
"No wonder the heavenly curtain's opportunity ranking list previously listed it as a top-tier Opportunity site! This Foundation is too frightening!"
"The continent always thought there was only Spirit Hall, the Upper Three Sects, the two great Empires... Who knew such a behemoth was entrenched overseas!"
Exclamations, gasps, and murmurs of disbelief echoed in every corner of the continent.
The strength of Sea God Island!
It completely overturned the perception of the vast majority of Soul Masters regarding the continent's power structure!
In the past, Titled Douluo were legends, a form of strategic deterrence.
A power possessing one Titled Douluo could join the Ranks of top-tier forces.
But now, Sea God Island directly presented a luxurious lineup of one Limit Douluo plus seven ordinary Titled Douluo!
This had already exceeded the concept of an ordinary power!
If this force were thrown into the struggle for continental hegemony, it would be enough to easily change any battle situation!
...Spirit Hall, Hall of Worship.
Qian Daoliu looked at the detailed introduction of Sea God Island on the heavenly curtain. His expression didn't show much of a ripple, though a hint of reminiscence flashed in his eyes.
Years ago, he had crossed the vast ocean and stepped onto that sacred island; naturally, he was well aware of Sea God Island's true Foundation.
"Bo Saixi... Seven Sacred Pillars..."
Qian Daoliu murmured.
"After so many years, they are still guarding that ocean. This ranking is well-deserved."
He didn't have much desire for comparison in his heart!
The God of Angels and the Sea God belonged to different divine systems, and their methods of Legacy and responsibilities were also different.
Golden Crocodile Douluo said in a booming voice, "High Priest, although this Sea God Island is strong, it is sequestered overseas and has no direct conflict with our Spirit Hall's continental hegemony."
"However, those Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians... their strength doesn't seem to have progressed much?"
Qian Daoliu nodded slightly. "The Sea God Island Legacy is unique. The positions of the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians focus more on protection and Legacy rather than blindly pursuing the pinnacle of personal power."
"Their strength is linked more to the sacred pillars themselves and the faith in the Sea God. Being able to reach the Titled Douluo level is already not easy."
"Moreover, in an ocean environment, led by Bo Saixi and bolstered by the Sea God's power, the combat strength they can exert far exceeds their own Rank."
...Spirit Hall, Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Bibi Dong sat high on her throne. Looking at the information about Sea God Island, there wasn't much shock in her purple eyes.
There was only a faint surprise, one tinged with a sense of looking down upon them.
"Eight Titled Douluo, hmph, quite a luxurious lineup."
Bibi Dong's tone was indifferent.
"Unfortunately, they are stuck in their ways overseas. The Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians haven't progressed an inch in all these years. They must have reached the limit of their talent, or perhaps they are bound hand and foot by those sacred pillar positions."
"Although Bo Saixi is strong, she is restricted by the rules and duties of the God Trial and cannot easily leave the core of Sea God Island."
A sharp and proud look flashed in her eyes. "Nowadays, the number of Titled Douluo in my Spirit Hall far exceeds this."
"A mere Sea God Island is fine as long as it stays in its corner. If it wants to lay a finger on the continent..."
"Hmph!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan complimented, "Your Holiness is absolutely right. Although Sea God Island is strong, it is like a tree without roots, limited to the ocean."
"Our Spirit Hall has a deep Foundation spread across the continent. Unifying the Spirit Master's world in the future is the general trend. How can an isolated overseas island compare?"
The corner of Bibi Dong's mouth curved slightly, clearly enjoying her subordinate's flattery.
The opponent she truly cared about had never been Sea God Island.
It was... Big Dipper Academy!
And the Soul Beast Clan that might bring variables... and the Clear Sky Sect.
Tang Xiao and the group of Elders looked at the heavenly curtain, the shock on their faces unable to subside for a long time.
"Ei... Eight Titled Douluo! One Limit, seven ordinary Titled Douluo!"
An Elder cried out in shock, his voice even cracking slightly.
"This Sea God Island hid itself too deeply; the whole world was kept in the dark!"
Tang Xiao took a deep breath, suppressing the turbulent waves in his heart.
As the Sect Master, he saw further. "Although Sea God Island's strength is great, its Foundation is in the ocean and its faith is in the Sea God."
"It has no direct conflict of interest with my Clear Sky Sect. In fact, when facing an invasion by foreign enemies, they might even become potential allies or a force to be leveraged."
...Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
The folding fan in Ning Fengzhi's hand had stopped at some point. He gazed at the heavenly curtain, his eyes full of wonder and deep thought.
"Limit Douluo Bo Saixi, the Seven Sacred Pillar Titled Douluo... so the Foundation of Sea God Island is deep to this extent."
"No wonder Spirit Hall was quite wary of them back then and never truly launched a large-scale invasion."
Bone Douluo Gu Rong said seriously, "Fengzhi, Old Sword, do you think that since Sea God Island has been pushed to the forefront by the heavenly curtain and received such generous rewards..."
"In the future, will they change their consistent strategy and start exerting more influence on the continent?"
"After all, with foreign enemies approaching, even the ocean may not be safe."
Ning Fengzhi mused, "It's not impossible, but the Sea God Island Legacy is unique; its core lies in guarding the Sea God's faith and ocean order."
"Large-scale intervention in continental affairs is likely not their wish, nor would it necessarily align with their interests."
"A more likely scenario is that they will strengthen their own defenses while enhancing communication and cooperation with the continent's coastal powers to jointly deal with the threat from enemies outside this plane."
Hearing this, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo nodded solemnly.
