Chapter 103: The Nail of Frozen Heaven!
[As expected! The Heart of the Sea God was embedded in the Trident…]
[Terrifying! The might of a deity…]
[To be able to summon an object from thousands of miles away…]
[...]
The viewers in the live broadcast couldn't help but discuss as they watched the Heart of the Sea God return in the video.
With a crisp ding, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, now transformed into a rhombus, finally embedded itself into the diamond shaped hole on the Sea God's Trident.
A piercing screech of friction erupted as an overwhelming surge of energy burst forth, instantly sweeping through the entire great hall!
The pitch black hall seemed to be ignited by the golden light. The floors, the ceiling, the walls, and even the seven platforms surrounding the Sea God's platform all were baptized in golden divine patterns.
What once appeared as a simple and ancient temple was now entirely bathed in gold, making it dazzlingly magnificent. A sacred aura, unlike anything before, erupted from the Sea God's Trident, forming a colossal pillar of light that shot straight toward the ceiling.
"Ah !"
Neptune roared toward the sky, the muscles on his back and arms twisting into an almost monstrous form. The Trident, the symbol of the Sea God's divine authority, finally loosened once more and slowly lifted from the ground…
The Trident's main blade, resembling a longsword, rose gradually alongside its two side blades, and a draconic hum reverberated from within.
At that moment, the entire Sea God's platform trembled violently, as did the Sea God's Palace no, the entire Sea God Mountain!
The perspective in the video shifted to an external view of the Sea God's Palace, allowing the audience to witness the changes happening to the entire Sea God Island from a macro perspective.
Above Sea God Mountain, dark clouds had gathered, casting shadows over the entire island. But at that moment, the Sea God's Palace shone brilliantly, an explosion of divine golden light piercing through the darkness, illuminating Sea God Mountain and seemingly the entire Sea God Island!
A massive golden pillar of light shot into the sky, piercing the storm clouds!
A colossal figure enveloped all of Sea God Island!
Though the figure was somewhat illusory, it was faintly discernible a man clad in golden armor, deep blue hair cascading over his shoulders. His armor covered nearly every inch of his body. Most strikingly, in his hand, he wielded a golden Trident so powerful it seemed capable of splitting heaven and earth!
Every being on Sea God Island lifted their heads, gazing up at the sky, before falling to their knees almost simultaneously. Their eyes burned with devotion as they bowed in worship toward the enormous figure.
The might of the Sea God visible for thousands of miles.
In the vast ocean, it seemed as if all creatures sensed the golden apparition's presence. In that instant, the seas around Sea God Island fell eerily silent. The raging waves stilled, all marine life ceased movement, and their bodies instinctively turned toward the island, trembling in reverent worship.
Then, thousands of tiny golden lights appeared, converging from all directions. Some came from Sea God Island, but the majority originated from the surrounding seas. Nourished by these divine lights, the massive projection of the Sea God gradually became more distinct almost tangible!
The viewers were stunned to discover that beneath the golden armor, the Sea God's face was majestic and handsome identical to Neptune's!
[Wait… did he just become a god?]
[Just pulling out a divine weapon is enough to ascend? That seems way too easy!]
[It can't be that simple…]
[Regardless, this scene is absolutely breathtaking!]
[This… this is what it means to be a true man!]
A flood of astonished and envious comments filled the chat.
In the video.
Bo Saixi, upon seeing Neptune pull out the Sea God's Trident, had a flicker of both regret and relief in her eyes. She said, "Being able to lift the Trident means you now qualify for the final trial. If you succeed, you will become the new Sea God!"
"The final trial?"
Neptune, gripping the Trident, walked closer, confused. "What is that?"
"It is the Sea God's personal test for you!"
Bo Saixi did not explain further. Instead, she slowly raised the golden scepter in her hand. The three meter long staff was engraved with intricate magic patterns, and at its tip was a sharp, spear like rhombus. Five inches below the spearhead, a diamond shaped golden gemstone was embedded.
As she lifted it high, brilliant golden light erupted from the gemstone, instantly illuminating the entire Sea God's Palace!
Just as the moment of truth arrived, the video abruptly cut away to the ocean.
[What the hell?!]
[Are you kidding me?! It cuts off at the most critical moment?!]
[This has to be intentional!]
[Why did it suddenly switch to the sea?]
[What happens next? What's the process of inheriting a god's power?]
[I'm dying of curiosity…]
The chat was filled with complaints, but Bo Saixi, the person in the video, knew exactly what was about to happen next sacrificing her own life to initiate the final inheritance.
In the video, an underwater volcanic eruption was now unfolding.
From a vast perspective, the footage displayed just how far the volcanic fissures had spread beneath the ocean.
The viewers were horrified to realize that, over this period, the volcanic rift had expanded to cover almost half the surrounding sea. It was dangerously close to reaching Sea God Island.
The ocean surface was littered with floating corpses whales, sea spirit beasts, and even many humans. The searing heat from the underwater lava had boiled the seawater, cooking these creatures alive!
This was a catastrophe.
A disaster that belonged to the ocean itself.
If left unchecked, it wouldn't just affect the sea eventually, even the land would be threatened.
The live broadcast vividly showcased the apocalyptic scene, so brutally devastating that anyone watching could feel their skin crawl.
[What do we do?]
[Is there anyone who can stop this natural disaster?]
[It's over!]
[The ocean is doomed… what will happen to us?]
Many comments, clearly from sea spirit masters, filled the chat. For those whose lives were inseparably tied to the ocean, the destruction of the sea was no different from the end of the world.
Finally, after all this buildup, the video reached its pivotal moment!
"Bzzzz!!!"
A strange, resonating hum suddenly rang out.
The sound was bizarre everywhere yet nowhere.
In an instant, the entire world fell silent.
The viewers watched in awe as, from a bird's eye perspective, the vast ocean, once constantly shifting and surging, suddenly became completely still.
Yes. The entire sea fell into an eerie stillness.
It became a dead sea.
Not a single ripple or wave remained.
This was unnatural. Just as the audience began to question what was causing this, they saw the waters surrounding the volcanic eruption begin to rotate…
A massive whirlpool formed.
Countless torrents of seawater spiraled upward, condensing midair, transforming…
Until they became an enormous, sky piercing pillar of ice!
There were no words to describe its sheer size. Even the clouds coiled around it, shrouding its upper half. The extreme cold radiating from it froze everything in its vicinity!
Then, the ice pillar plummeted!
Like a colossal nail, it drove straight into the volcanic fissure, piercing deep into the planet's core!
The freezing aura spread outward, solidifying the surrounding sea into an eternal frozen wasteland!
"RUMMMBLE!!!"
The sky piercing ice pillar like a divine "Nail of Frozen Heaven" continued to burrow deeper into the earth's depths.
The overwhelming spectacle… was even more terrifying than the natural disaster itself!
[…]
The viewers were left speechless, staring blankly at the mind shattering scene before them.
