Chapter 511.
"Wow, brother, look at that great white shark! It's so beautiful!" Hu Liena pointed at the largest shark ahead and whispered, "Its whole body is as white as snow. I wish I could touch it…"
Great White Shark: "…"
Wang Feng: "…"
She kept her voice low, probably worried about provoking the sharks.
Wang Feng recalled what Elder Lao Shan had once said: these Devil Great White Shark were considered the legendary mounts of the Sea God himself. Becoming Sea God's mounts was no simple feat.
In fact, Wang Feng thought these sharks were quite impressive.
'Not bad looking indeed. But touching them? Best to forget it.' If a real fight broke out, these Devil Great White Shark would be incredibly troublesome opponents.
Fortunately, the blue flag Wang Feng carried gave him a small but pleasant surprise. Even among the ranks of the demon soul great white sharks, he could feel a faint sense of fear emanating from them toward the flag.
After bypassing the group of sharks, they were only a few hundred meters away from Sea God Island. The flying sword landed safely on its shore.–
The moment the group stepped onto the island, all four of them felt an overwhelming sense of comfort—pure energy seeping through their limbs.
This energy was neither evil nor holy, but it possessed a soothing and soft quality, unlike anything they had encountered before.
Before them stretched a lush forest filled with vibrant greenery. Patches of rare plants grew in beautiful disarray, some of which even Wang Feng had never seen in the Star Dou Forest. The air carried a mixed floral fragrance from afar, and the sea breeze that blew past didn't just smell of salt—it was crisp, clean, and utterly refreshing.
Every moment on this island felt tranquil and uplifting. In the distance, the boundless ocean met the endless sky. The bright blue heavens and pure white clouds complemented the immense Sea God Island, creating a world that felt untouched—flawlessly pure and serene.
"What a beautiful place…" Hu Liena murmured, her voice lost in awe.
Such beauty always had the power to stir thoughts of the future.
In that moment, countless ideas passed through her mind… until she even thought of her….
It wasn't until Wang Feng called out to her that she snapped back to reality, her cheeks reddening slightly as she caught up with the group.
As they walked, Wang Feng noticed the island reminded him a bit of the Rakshasa Secret Realm. There seemed to be a mystical force here that blocked spiritual perception. Even with his own powerful mental strength, he couldn't sense far ahead—the island's power rebounded everything back with force.
Clearly, certain rules governed the island's structure. Wang Feng decided not to probe further with his spiritual power.
Sea God Island was vast. Even after walking for an hour from the coast, it still stretched endlessly ahead.
Eventually, they encountered three people.
"What's going on today? Another group of outsiders on our Sea God Island?"
The speaker wore a yellow robe—custom-made, it seemed—and appeared to be about 30 years old. His expression wasn't surprised, but there was a noticeable hint of wariness.
"Hello," Hu Liena stepped forward politely. "We've come here specially to take part in the Sea God Island trials. We wish to join Sea God Island."
Their goal wasn't just to pass the trials, but also to understand more about the island. Naturally, they wouldn't do anything reckless.
"Ha…" The man gave a –dry chuckle. "You land-dwelling soul masters really don't know how high the heavens are. But whatever, I won't say much. Another group just came before you. One more won't hurt."
He looked at them with interest. "You must have worked hard to get past the Devil Great White Shark. Since you made it through, I suppose you're confident in your strength. Fine. Follow me."
It was clear he knew about the dangers posed by those sharks. In truth, any soul masters who could arrive on Sea God Island from the outside world weren't ordinary. The ocean itself was perilous enough, not to mention the deadly Devil White Great Sharks—just surviving that ordeal was already a severe test.
Because of this, soul masters on the island didn't immediately drive away new arrivals. They clearly had seen many such cases before.
"Could that previous group have been the Shrek Seven Devils?"
As they walked, the group speculated quietly about the other visitors the man had mentioned.
Wang Feng sensed the three islanders were only low-level soul masters, not particularly powerful—but all possessed soul power above level forty.
The man in yellow then addressed them again, more serious this time. "Let me make this clear—on Sea God Island, the most important rule is that no fighting is allowed without permission. If you break this rule, you'll be severely punished."
His voice turned stern. "Even though our island is large, if anyone causes trouble, the Sea God Island Law Enforcement Team will arrest them immediately!"
Though the three patrolmen only had around level forty soul power, they exuded confidence. That was the kind of assurance Sea God Island provided to its inhabitants.
No one dared to act recklessly here.
Wang Feng thought to himself, 'Looks like there are several Titled Douluo on Sea God Island… probably more than the four in the Rakshasa Secret Realm.'
Of course, the Rakshasa Realm was different. The Wraith Clan that ruled there possessed unique abilities, including immunity to physical attacks. Even Titled Douluos wouldn't dare challenge them lightly. Not to mention, the Rakshasa Secret Realm was saturated with corrosive evil energy, enhancing the strength of the Wraith Clan significantly.
The group nodded in agreement, acknowledging the rules of Sea God Island.
Soon after, the patrolmen led them out of the forest—and into a breathtaking sight.
They emerged into an open area with a massive lake, shaped perfectly into a circle nearly one kilometer in diameter.
At the center of the lake stood a triangular platform, atop which rose a tall stone pillar several meters high. The pillar was intricately carved with ancient symbols and mysterious runes.
Powerful waves of energy radiated from it, stirring gusts of wind and sending ripples across the lake's surface.
The scene was nothing short of awe-inspiring.
At that moment, Wang Feng also spotted Tang San and his group nearby.
They appeared to have just arrived.
"Huh? Weren't they supposed to be here two days before us?" Xie Yue looked surprised. "Why are they only arriving now?"
Wang Feng thought for a moment. 'Perhaps their journey didn't go as smoothly. After all, I had my flying sword and the blue flag. Even the Devil Great White Sharks let us pass without much trouble. The entire process was fairly quick.'
"Alright, wait –here. I'll go –report to the Seahorse Sacred Pillar." The man in the yellow robe instructed before walking toward a middle-aged man in black standing beneath a towering stone pillar.
"This is the Sea Within the Sea," one of the remaining men explained, pointing at the large lake. "And that over there is the Seahorse Sacred Pillar."
"Our Sea God Island has seven sacred pillars in total," the second man added. "Each has received divine power directly from the Sea God himself. Every one of them passed the Sea God's Black Level Six Test. These pillars are used to evaluate soul masters—the type of test given represents the Sea God's expectations for that individual."
Seven sacred pillars.
Wang Feng's expression became more serious. Generally, those who passed a deity-level assessment were formidable.
'Title Douluos, most likely,' he thought. 'Though their soul power levels might be slightly lower.'
Even without using his spiritual perception, Wang Feng could sense something from their presence. 'Seven sacred pillars… does that mean there are seven Title Douluos on Sea God Island?'
He raised an eyebrow. The foundation of Sea God Island was clearly formidable—stronger even than the Rakshasa Secret Realm, which only had four such figures.
That said, Wang Feng still felt the Titled Douluos of the Wraith clan were more powerful, even by outside world standards. Their average soul power was higher, with the weakest at around level ninety-four.
Take Phantom Death Douluo, for example—Wang Feng had defeated him through karma, but other Titled Douluos would find him extremely difficult to handle.
Despite only spanning ten levels, the Titled Douluo stage had many hidden tiers of power. Those who passed divine trials—like the ones tied to these sacred pillars—possessed divine energy. Even a small portion of the Sea God's power made a massive difference in strength.
At that moment, the man who had gone to report returned and said plainly,
"You are land-dwelling soul masters. If you wish to undergo the Sacred Pillar test, you must first pass the Sea Within the Sea trial. The nine over there went through the same thing—and all of them passed the test of the Seahorse Sacred Pillar."
He pointed toward Tang San and his group in the distance.
At the same time, Seahorse Douluo—clad in black—also noticed Wang Feng's group.
Tang San and the others, who had just finished their test, spotted them as well.
"They really did come to Sea God Island," Dai Mubai said quietly.
Their own journey had been far from easy. Battling treacherous seas and navigating through the dangerous domain of the Devil Great White Sharks had been nearly fatal. If not for Tang San's Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, they might not have made it at all. Even then, after arriving, they had collapsed unconscious and only recently recovered.
"It's strange," Oscar said. "We set out earlier than them, and without an approved disciple's token, they shouldn't have been able to reach Sea God Island. Round trip time alone should be at least two days, which means they should be arriving much later than us... But here they are already. Could it be the Devil Great White Sharks weren't as –threatening to them?"
The thought made Oscar uneasy.
"You're forgetting," Tang San said, eyes narrowing toward the group, "they have the White Pontiff with them."
Though Wang Feng and his companions had disguised themselves, it wasn't difficult for Tang San's group—who knew them well—to see through it.
"They know each other, don't they?" Seahorse Douluo glanced between the two groups with a hint of surprise. He had been impressed by the talents of Tang San's group. It had been many years since he'd seen such powerful young spirit masters on Sea God Island.
Especially six of them—soul emperors not even in their twenties. It was nothing short of extraordinary.
The other three girls were quite special, but they were also extremely powerful—especially the food-type soul master with the White Beer Martial Soul.
"Hmm… Honored Seahorse Douluo, those four are our opponents," Ma Hongjun said coldly.
Upon hearing this, Seahorse Douluo was visibly surprised. The talents and strength of these nine individuals already exceeded his expectations. And yet, someone among them could be their opponent?
Ma Hongjun didn't elaborate further. He also didn't reveal that Hu Liena and the others were from the Soul Hall—mainly because there was no solid proof. Although Soul Hall had previously invaded Sea God Island, if the islanders learned that this group was from Soul Hall, they might be expelled immediately.
But without evidence, it was risky. The inhabitants of Sea God Island never left the island and knew little of the outside world. Without concrete proof, Seahorse Douluo might think they were merely slandering others, damaging their credibility and favor. It wasn't worth the risk.
So he simply referred to them as "opponents."
At that moment, Seahorse Douluo's eyes gleamed. He stomped forcefully, and instantly, the surrounding lake water surged up, forming massive columns—each more than thirty meters tall.
Eight water pillars rose and crashed together, creating a massive, roaring waterfall over the only narrow path that led to the Sacred Pillar. The path was just a few meters wide. From time to time, sea spirit beasts could be seen leaping within the violent torrent.
Seeing this, the man who had guided Wang Feng's group said:
"The trial is simple. You must be able to see the Seahorse Sacred Pillar through this converging waterfall. If not, you must turn back. Flying over it is forbidden. You can only pass through by your own strength."
Hu Liena frowned as she studied the waterfall. It was formed by the collision of four massive water currents. The force behind it was terrifying. Even most sea soul beasts couldn't withstand such impact. For ordinary soul masters, one misstep could result in shattered bones.
"You're a team. Discuss your approach amongst yourselves," Wang Feng said calmly.
'If they couldn't even pass this test, then everything they'd done while staying by his side these past few days would've been for nothing. And it's not like he forced them to stay.'
They needed to start showing their own initiative. At least demonstrate some awareness and intelligence.
Hu Liena gave a small nod. Truthfully, the three of them had already come up with a plan.
Among them, Hu Liena played only a minor role—being a spiritual-control type Soul Master. Still, it was a role she had to fulfill.
She stepped forward.
Six soul rings lit up around her. As her beautiful Heavenly Fox Martial soul possessed her, she lightly leapt into the air. The light in her eyes flared, locking onto the sea soul beasts swimming within the torrent.
A pink mist dispersed around her.
Under its influence, the sea soul beasts—most of which were around a thousand years old, with only a few reaching the ten-thousand-year level—began to react. Within the rapids, they swam up to Hu Liena, as if offering themselves for selection.
Hu Liena gave a soft, enchanting laugh. Even the soul beasts weren't immune to her charm. The pink light in her eyes, combined with the mental enhancement from her head soul bone, allowed her to control them instantly.
She selected three seahorses, three dolphins, and two sea crabs. Because the torrents were chaotic and uncoordinated, a single soul beast wouldn't be enough to carry her through. She needed multiple to stabilize the route.
Under her command, the eight soul beasts held their positions in the different streams. Then, Hu Liena leapt forward, stepping gracefully onto one soul beast after another.
With each step placed with practiced elegance, she crossed over the raging torrents with ease—light, poised, and graceful.
It was almost… artful.
