Soul Land: Bibi Dong Is My Martial Soul-Chapter 230: Sea God Su Mo

Chapter 230: Sea God Su Mo

The Sea God's Nine Trials could be considered the Sea God's way of grooming Su Mo, and Su Mo had reaped tremendous benefits throughout the process.

But just because the Asura God's divine position was considered stronger, to abandon the Sea God now and choose Asura's inheritance?

Such half-hearted betrayal and ingratitude—how could the Asura God ever accept someone like that?

Likewise, if Su Mo were to choose the Asura God, whether he succeeded or not, the Sea God's position would be lost to him forever.

Buzz—

Once Su Mo confirmed his choice, Bo Saixi didn't hesitate. She quickly began the process to activate the Ninth Trial.

First, a wave of golden energy enveloped Su Mo, sealing his body so completely that even with his cultivation, he couldn't move an inch.

Boom—

Above the Sea God statue, a golden vortex appeared, swirling like a massive portal made of divine light.

At that moment, Bo Saixi completed her final sacrifice. Her entire body transformed into golden energy and merged into the portal above.

Buzz—

The moment she completely vanished, the binding on Su Mo's body was released. The golden portal above fully took form and stabilized.

Su Mo glanced at the spot where Bo Saixi had disappeared, momentarily lost in thought.

In the original story, the Sea God had told Tang San that he had guided the souls of Tang Chen and Bo Saixi to another world.

But Su Mo had never been sure if that was true.

After all, neither of them ever appeared in the sequel stories. Maybe it was true, or maybe the Sea God had simply lied to comfort Tang San.

But none of that mattered now.

Su Mo steadied his emotions, looked up at the golden portal in the sky, and stepped into it without hesitation.

Thud—

The moment he entered, a chill swept over him. He found himself completely surrounded by seawater.

Looking ahead, Su Mo saw a magnificent palace standing deep within the sea.

He immediately understood—this was the true Sea God Temple.

Without delay, he swam toward it.

As he neared the palace, he was blocked by an invisible force.

Buzz—

Su Mo raised the Sea God Trident, and instantly, the barrier parted for him. Beyond it, there was no seawater—just a grand, sacred temple.

Inside, Su Mo walked slowly toward the heart of the Sea God Temple.

Soon, he arrived at its center and saw a towering figure seated on the divine throne.

"Su Mo greets the Sea God."

The moment he saw the figure, Su Mo knew—it was the Sea God himself.

He bowed respectfully.

"It's been so many years... and finally, someone has reached this place."

"Su Mo, are you ready?"

The Sea God gave Su Mo a look of approval as he spoke.

It had been twenty thousand years.

Though that was barely fifty years by Divine Realm standards, the Sea God had long grown weary of that realm.

He was eager to leave, to explore the universe beyond.

"I'm ready."

Su Mo responded seriously.

"Good. Then let's begin!"

The Sea God sounded even more eager than Su Mo himself.

Buzz— freewebnσvel.cѳm

The Sea God summoned a floating, golden, prism-shaped cube.

Click—clack—

With a few precise gestures, the cube began to rotate at high speed. It twisted in all directions, interlocking chaotically.

As it spun, Su Mo's body was pulled into the center of the glowing structure.

"Sea God's Ninth Trial, First Stage—begin!"

With that declaration, the final trial truly commenced.

Click—

Clack—

Inside the golden cube, Su Mo was immediately assaulted by attacks from every direction.

He could only flash and dodge, avoiding the incoming strikes with swift movement.

While dodging, Su Mo suddenly felt a pull on his left arm.

The soul bone embedded there began to loosen, dragged by an invisible force, as though it was about to be torn from his body.

Su Mo continued dodging the attacks from all directions while enduring the excruciating pain of having his soul bone forcibly torn away.

But he did not panic.

He already knew what the Ninth Trial of the Sea God entailed.

From the moment the Sea God summoned the golden cube and began extracting his soul bones, Su Mo recognized this trial—it was exactly the same as the one he had read about.

The Sea God's Ninth Trial consisted of seven stages, each corresponding to one of the Seven Emotions.

With each trial passed, the soul bone torn from his body would be reforged by the Sea God's power into a divine artifact.

By the end of all seven trials, these artifacts would form the complete Sea God Set.

...

On Sea God Island—

The seven Sacred Pillar Guardians, along with the island's residents, were all gazing up at the skies above.

Everyone knew that today was the day Su Mo was undertaking the Sea God's Ninth Trial. The heavens above Sea God Island shimmered with golden light, waves of divine power flickering in and out of view.

"Do you think Lord Su Mo will succeed in completing the Ninth Trial?"

Sea Horse Douluo couldn't help but voice the question on everyone's mind.

"He must! If he fails, then wouldn't the High Priestess have sacrificed herself for nothing?!"

Sea Witch Douluo immediately snapped back, glaring at him.

"That's right—Lord Su Mo will definitely succeed!"

"All we have to do now is wait and witness that moment!"

Sea Dragon Douluo nodded in agreement, his tone resolute.

"Yes!"

"That's right!"

"Lord Su Mo will definitely succeed!"

"..."

With Sea Dragon Douluo's statement, the other Sacred Pillar Guardians quickly chimed in.

Whether or not Su Mo could truly pass the final trial, they all desperately hoped he would.

Only if Su Mo completed the trials would Bo Saixi's sacrifice not be in vain. Only then would the mission they had carried for generations be fulfilled.

Yet even as they hoped, their hearts were filled with conflicting emotions.

Sea God Island existed solely to choose a successor for the Sea God.

If a true inheritor emerged, then the island's mission would be complete. The guardians' duty would be over.

From that day on, Sea God Island would cease to hold its divine purpose.

The Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians would go their separate ways.

With Bo Saixi gone and the Sea God's will fulfilled, there would be no reason for them to remain.

Except for Sea Witch, the rest of them were actually hundred-thousand-year-old sea spirit beasts who had taken human form.

They all had their own clans.

Now that Sea God Island no longer needed them, each hoped to return to their kin—or perhaps set foot on the continent to see the world.

After so many years of isolation, being confined to this island had long grown tiresome.

Buzz—

No one knew how much time had passed, but at long last, under the gaze of the entire island, a figure appeared in the sky above Sea God Island.

It was Su Mo.

His aura had changed once again—towering, divine, impossible to look at directly.

Just standing there, he radiated a sense of absolute majesty.

"All hail the Sea God!"

The moment Sea Dragon Douluo and the others saw him, they lowered their heads and fell to their knees in reverence.
