Chapter 356: Pull out! Sea God’s Trident (14)_1
Upon seeing this long staff, Chu Qin had already guessed its origin, yet he still turned to Poseissi and asked, "What is this?"
"It’s the Sea God’s Divine Artifact, the golden trident! It once accompanied the Sea God throughout his life of conquest, imbued with a part of the Sea God’s Divine Power. After breaking through the heavens, he left it here. It weighs a hundred and eighty thousand pounds and possesses the mighty power to command the sea! And only the Sea God’s chosen successor, which is you, Chu Qin, might be worthy to pull it out!" Poseissi said with a tone of reverence and pride, "This is also your sixth trial; if you can pull out the Sea God’s Trident, you will have succeeded in the trial!"
"Then, what if I can’t pull it out?" Chu Qin asked with a calm smile.
"No, Chu Qin, you must pull it out, and you will surely do so!" Poseissi shook her head.
"From how nervous you are, if I can’t pull it out, it seems I’ll die a pretty ugly death!" Chu Qin said with a light smile.
"Don’t say that! You are the Sea God’s designated successor; it’s impossible for you not to be able to pull it out!" Poseissi quickly said. Pulling out the Sea God’s Trident was a necessary part of the Sea God’s Nine Quests; otherwise, Poseissi would never have let Chu Qin risk his life!
"Alright, then I’ll give it a try!"
Chu Qin smiled confidently and walked toward the golden trident.
In fact, Chu Qin was brimming with confidence! If he could subdue a super divine weapon like the Asura God Sword, then how could he not conquer the mere Sea God’s Trident?
"Ah!" The moment his palm touched the Sea God’s Trident, Chu Qin let out a painful cry.
"What’s wrong, Chu Qin!" Poseissi called out, extremely worried.
"It’s nothing, just kidding!" Chu Qin said with a light smile.
"You jerk!" Poseissi gave him a slight glare.
Just then, an electric shock-like sensation came from Chu Qin’s palm, making his expression change dramatically!
"Are you tricking me again?" Poseissi frowned.
"This time, it’s for real!" Chu Qin said with a grave expression. After that shock-like sensation, Chu Qin could distinctly feel a burning pain emanating from the Sea God’s Trident!
"Elemental Dragon Body, Steel!" Chu Qin subconsciously wanted to activate his Elemental Dragon Body.
But, what he never expected happened, his Elemental Dragon Body couldn’t be activated!
At the same time, that burning sensation spread all over Chen Qin’s body, making him feel as if he were being burnt by fire!
"Hiss..." At this moment, even Chu Qin couldn’t bear it and let out a painful hiss.
Watching this, Poseissi felt a sharp pain in her heart, but she was powerless to help. This trial could only be completed by Chu Qin himself; no one else could assist him!
"Soul bone!" With no other choice, Chu Qin used the left arm bone of the King Kong Angry Eyes Monkey.
Thankfully, the soul bone could be used, but even so, the burning pain did not lessen, and instead grew stronger!
"It seems this burning sensation is irreversible, meaning I must endure this immense pain to pull out the Sea God’s Trident. Well then, bring it on!" Chu Qin’s pupils constricted as he spoke.
With that thought, Chu Qin concentrated all his Soul Power in his palm.
The trident began to move, slowly being pulled out of the ground by Chu Qin, and with that, the burning sensation intensified!
Chu Qin’s skin actually began to burn. His arm turned somewhat red and took on a scorched texture; some boiling blood oozed out from within him!
"Chu Qin!" Poseissi couldn’t help but turn her head away.
She simply couldn’t bear to watch any longer!
However, Chu Qin continued on. He bore the tremendous pain, clenched his teeth tightly, and little by little pulled the one hundred and eighty thousand pound Sea God’s Trident out of the ground!
Meanwhile, blood trickled down from Chu Qin’s arm and into the Sea God’s Trident!
"Ah~"
Finally, Chu Qin couldn’t hold back and let out a painful wail. The sensation was excruciatingly painful, not just the skin, but also his veins, muscles, and bones were burning!
At that moment, the true form of the Sea God’s Trident slowly emerged from the ground. It had crescent-shaped sides with a large diamond-shaped spike in the center!
The instant the Sea God’s Trident was pulled out, a blue light shot out from within Chu Qin’s Soul Guidance Container.
Within that blue radiance was the Boundless Universe Shield, the core of the Sea God’s Trident!
Now, this core was about to return to its original body!
It could be seen that the triangular Boundless Universe Shield instantly doubled in size, and at the same time, its shape changed, as if two triangles overlaid each other, forming a diamond-shaped crystal!
Quickly, this diamond-shaped crystal perfectly embedded itself atop the groove of the Sea God’s Trident, with both fitting together seamlessly!
At this moment, the pain reached its zenith as the Sea God’s Trident completely "ignited"!
Within the glow that resembled flames, the Sea God’s Trident underwent a "rebirth through fire," the originally pitch-black trident was gradually stripped of its dark surface under the tempering of the "flames," turning into a pure gold color!
At the same time, an extremely brilliant golden light shone from within the Sea God’s Trident, illuminating the entire hall around it.
Not only that, a beam of intense golden light shot into the sky, piercing through the dome at the top of the Sea God Temple and stabbing into the clouds!
"What is that?" At this time, Xiaowu and the others were halfway there when they saw the golden light piercing the clouds, and their pupils dilated in shock.
"It’s coming from the direction of the Sea God Temple, I hope Chu Qin is alright!" Qian Renxue said with concern on her face.
"It’s not Young Master Chu who’s in trouble, it’s that Young Master Chu has pulled out the Sea-suppressing Divine Instrument!" Sea Witch Douluo, standing nearby, said with reverence.
Following that, Sea Witch Douluo and the other six guest elders together knelt in the direction of the Sea God Temple, "We welcome the Sea God!"
At the moment they knelt down, Xiaowu and the others noticed that at the end of the golden light beam, a massive phantom emerged, which was identical to the Sea God Martial Spirit behind Poseissi. Clearly, this phantom was the Sea God!
Meanwhile, beneath the phantom of the Sea God, an explosively handsome figure hovered there, clad in a black robe, with the Sea God’s Trident held high in his right hand, much like the son of a Divine King!
"Chu Qin, it’s Chu Qin!" Ning Rongrong exclaimed excitedly.
"Could it be that Chu Qin’s trial was to pull out the Sea-suppressing Divine Instrument?" Xiaowu said, somewhat overjoyed.
At the same time, Sea Witch Douluo, Purple Pearl, and Shangguan Yaqing all looked on with envious admiration.
Chu Qin, who was peerless in terms of looks, bathed in the golden light, accepting the worship of thousands. What woman would not be moved by his divine visage?
Not just them, but in the sea outside Sea God Island, a group of Devil Soul Great White Sharks surfaced, led by none other than Bai Xiuxiu and her mother, Bai Yingying!
"Mommy, who is that!" Bai Xiuxiu asked as she blinked at the figure in the golden light.
"It’s that human called Chu Qin!" Bai Yingying replied with a smile, "It seems he’s only halfway from becoming the true Sea God!"
"Sea God, is that the being you always talk about, the one our Demon Soul Great White Shark Clan worships?" Bai Xiuxiu asked.
"Yes!" Bai Yingying nodded, "Remember Xiuxiu, we of the Demon Soul Great White Shark Clan will always revere the Sea God. From now on, if Chu Qin asks you to do anything, you must not refuse!"
"Did all of you hear that?" Bai Yingying turned and called out to the group of Devil Soul Great White Sharks behind her.
The Devil Soul Great White Sharks emitted a unanimous roaring sound!
"Of course, that includes me too!" Bai Yingying looked at Chu Qin, her eyes twinkling.
At this time, the intense golden light began to crazily surge into Chu Qin’s body, not only healing his charred skin completely but also making his skin even more translucent!
A golden trident mark lit up on Chu Qin’s forehead.
Like the finishing stroke to a painting of a dragon, this mark raised Chu Qin’s already lofty looks to another level!
It was not just a boost in looks; the trident also brought Chu Qin a surge of unprecedented power!
Chu Qin felt confident that at this moment, even without having to harness the Asura God Sword’s power, he could probably defeat Poseissi on the open sea, right?
After the golden color was completely absorbed, Chu Qin with the trident descended back into the Sea God Temple!
"Chu Qin, you have successfully completed the Sea God’s sixth trial! You have obtained a sixty percent Sea God Affinity and the right to use the Sea God’s Trident!"
"Congratulations, Chu Qin, you have been recognized by the Sea God’s Trident!" Poseissi was also astounded by Chu Qin, and she quickly walked up to him, smiling sincerely.
"Congratulations, I don’t think so!" Chu Qin said with a slight smile, "This thing almost made life worse than death for me just now!"
