————————

At the foot of Sea God Mountain, the seven Holy Pillar Guardians gathered, their eyes focused on the winding white jade staircase.

They originally came to observe the performance of this group of gifted young people under the light of the Sea God, but the scene before them deeply shocked these Titled Douluo.

Ning Rongrong, Hu Liena, Xiao Wu and other girls tried it for the first time. The youngest one had already stepped onto more than 30 steps, and the highest one, Arou, reached the 60th step before being bounced back.

This achievement has far surpassed the level of their first attempt and can be called amazing.

However, what shocked them the most was the black-robed young man who started last – Xuan Ming.

When he stepped onto the steps, he was so calm and composed, as if he was not going to endure the terrifying pressure, but just climbing the mountain to enjoy the scenery.

Level 10, level 20, level 30 He climbed as if it were flat ground, his speed not even slowing down at all, and he easily surpassed the women who were climbing with difficulty.

“This… is his body made of iron?” Sea Girl Douluo covered her mouth with her hands, her sky-blue eyes full of disbelief.

She had personally experienced the horror of Xuan Ming’s dual domains, but she didn’t expect his physical fitness to be so abnormal.

Seahorse Douluo’s face was solemn. “It’s not just his body. His soul power concentration and mental realm are far beyond his apparent soul power level. The first few dozen levels of the Sea God’s Light are probably nothing to him.”

As Xuan Ming steadily passed the fiftieth level, his steps still unwavering, Sea Spear Douluo couldn’t help but exclaim, “He’s passed the fiftieth level! The pressure is starting to double, and he can still maintain this speed?”

Level 70, level 80, level 90…

Xuan Ming’s figure was still clear in the golden halo, and every step he took was steady and powerful.

At the bottom of the stairs, Ning Rongrong, Huo Wu and the others who were still trying to climb had already reached their respective limits and were sent back to the starting point by the soft but irresistible golden light. They sat slumped on the beach, gasping for breath, but their eyes were closely following the back of the figure that was constantly climbing upwards.

Level 100!

This is a watershed moment and pressure will surge again.

Xuan Ming’s body finally paused slightly, and the air around him made a low humming sound, but he just adjusted himself slightly and stepped onto the 101st step again!

“Level 100… He reached level 100 on his first try!” Sea Ghost Douluo’s voice was a little dry.

Sea Dragon Douluo, the strongest being second only to Sea God on Sea God Island, had an extremely serious expression on his face. He stared intently at Xuan Ming’s back and said in a deep voice, “When I first tried, I was at level 85 of soul power. Leveraging the advantage of my martial spirit, I barely managed to reach level 80.”

When he said this, the other guardians gasped.

They were well aware of Sea Dragon Douluo’s talent and strength; his level 80 achievement back then was already astonishing.

But the young man in front of him, whose soul power was only level 70, broke through the level 100 mark so easily!

Level 108! Level 120! Level 136!

Xuan Ming not only easily reached the requirements of the Black Level test, he even surpassed Ning Rongrong and the others, who needed to reach the 136th level for the top level test! And he still had no intention of stopping!

“Level 150!” Seahorse Douluo’s voice trembled. “He’s still climbing! This… is this really something a human can do?”

Facing the suppression of the Sea God’s Light for the first time, the body needs an adaptation period no matter what! Even a Titled Douluo will be greatly disturbed when stepping into the Sea God’s Light for the first time.

On the stairs, Xuan Ming felt that the pressure around him had become like real lead and mercury, squeezing his body madly, trying to force his soul power back into his body and crush his bones.

The golden light penetrated everywhere and even began to impact his spiritual sea.

But his eyes remained calm.

This level of pressure is certainly strong, but compared to fighting against thousands of resentful spirits in the blood pool of the Killing City, and compared to constantly suppressing the backlash of the blood spear that is ready to stir in the body, it seems… still within the tolerable range.

The ice and fire dragon essence in his body was running wildly, and the power of extreme ice and extreme fire formed a delicate balance in his body, jointly resisting the oppression from the outside world.

Although his Killing God Domain could not be released to resist the Light of the Sea God, his willpower, which had been tempered to the extreme, allowed him to ignore the impact on the spiritual level.

One step after another.

He finally slowed down, but his pace remained firm.

Level 160! Level 170! Level 180!

The seven holy pillar guardians below had completely lost their voices and just stared blankly at the miraculous figure.

Finally, on the 188th step, Xuan Ming finally stopped.

“It’s finally over…”

Below, Sea Dragon Douluo and the other seven Holy Pillar Guardians breathed a sigh of relief in unison, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.

Reaching level 188 on the first try! This is an incredible achievement! In the ten thousand years of Sea God Island’s history, there has never been such an astonishing record!

Sea Dragon Douluo opened his mouth, about to sigh, but——

“Um?!”

His pupils suddenly contracted!

On the stairs, the black-robed figure who had stopped walking was not bounced back by the light of Sea God, but… moved!

Instead of being pushed back by the pressure, he suddenly…forward!

Xuan Ming’s body lowered slightly, and the next moment, he was like an arrow shot from a bow, bearing the terrifying pressure that was enough to crush an ordinary Titled Douluo, and sprinted towards the higher steps…!

He ran!

How is this possible? !

How terrifying was the pressure of the Sea God’s Light at the 188th step? It was an absolute realm capable of crushing fine steel into dust and solidifying soul power! Ordinary people would have difficulty even standing, so how could he possibly run?!

“Is he… is he crazy?!” Sea Girl Douluo screamed in shock, her sky-blue eyes filled with horror.

Seahorse Douluo, Sea Spear Douluo, and the others were all frozen in place, their minds blank, completely unable to comprehend the scene before them that subverted their cognition.

Xuan Ming’s figure became a little blurred in the golden halo, but his speed was astonishingly fast!

One hundred and ninety! One hundred and ninety-five! Two hundred!

He actually broke through the 200th level in one fell swoop!

At this height, the light of Sea God is no longer a gentle test, but has transformed into violent destructive energy!

The golden light pounded his body like a raging wave, creating a deafening roar! The air was compressed to its limit, making a tearing sound as it could not bear the weight!

But Xuan Ming did not stop at all, and even continued to accelerate!

The ice and fire dragon essence in his body was running to the extreme. The ice blue and red light intertwined and flowed on his body surface, forming a strange shield, which withstood the terrifying pressure that was enough to tear the Soul Douluo apart!

Level 220! Level 250! Level 280! Level 300!

He was like a meteor tearing through the golden waves, and broke through the barrier of the 300th level!

Below, Sea Dragon Douluo and the other seven Holy Pillar Guardians had completely lost the ability to think. They could only stand there like stone statues, their minds blank.

Is this a human?

Xuan Ming’s speed finally began to slow down. Every step he took seemed to shatter the void, making a dull loud noise, and the space around him was violently distorted.

But he is still moving forward!

Level 310! Level 320! Level 330!

Finally, on the 333rd step, Xuan Ming’s figure suddenly paused and stopped.

Level 333…

This number caused a very subtle trance to flash across Xuan Ming’s icy blue eyes, a trance that even he himself had not fully noticed.

It seems… I’ve heard it somewhere before? Or… seen it before?

Just when everyone below thought he had finally reached his limit and was about to be bounced back or start regulating his breathing—

Xuan Ming took a deep breath, and the air he inhaled seemed to carry thunder-like energy, and his eyes suddenly burst into an even more intense light!

Instead of stopping, he exerted force again!

boom–!

The white jade steps under his feet groaned as if they could not bear the weight. He was like a ferocious beast that had broken free from its shackles. He transformed into a stream of light again and charged towards a higher place!

He actually… started running again!

“!!!!”

This time, even Sea Dragon Douluo, the second strongest man on Sea God Island, couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets!

Level 333! He can actually speed up?! How is this possible?!

Sea Girl Douluo had completely covered her mouth, her sky-blue eyes filled with horror and confusion, as if she was wondering if she was hallucinating.

Seahorse Douluo, Sea Spear Douluo and the others were like being struck by lightning, their bodies stiffened and their thoughts completely stopped.

On the stairs, Xuan Ming’s figure was so fast that it was almost invisible. Only a streak of red and blue interwoven light could be seen, rising up against the golden tide that was destroying the world!

Level 350! Level 400! Level 450!

The pressure had reached a terrifying level beyond words! The Sea God’s Light there was no longer light, but had transformed into a nearly liquid, incomparably heavy, golden ocean filled with destructive energy!

The ice and fire shield on Xuan Ming’s body began to fluctuate violently, as if it could break at any time. Fine cracks began to appear on the surface of his skin, and blood continued to seep out, turning him into a bloody man.

But the light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter!

This extreme pressure, this feeling of being at war with the entire world, frantically stimulated the dormant blood spear in his body!

Buzz——!

The blood spear emitted an extremely excited buzzing sound in his body, and the extremely ferocious killing will seemed to be ignited. Instead of backlashing, it turned into a violent force, forcibly merging with the power of the ice and fire dragon essence, and together they resisted the oppression from the outside world!

Fight poison with poison! Fight destruction with brutality!

Level 500!

Xuan Ming brazenly broke through the terrifying height of the 500th level!

The space around him was completely twisted and shattered, and golden liquid energy surrounded him like a storm, madly tearing his body and soul apart!

At this point, he finally couldn’t keep running anymore.

His speed dropped suddenly, and each step became extremely difficult, as if he was trekking through solidified diamond. His bones made a teeth-grinding creaking sound, as if they would completely collapse in the next moment.

But he is still moving forward!

Step by step, slowly, but firmly!

Level 550! Level 600!

Finally, on the 666th step, Xuan Ming finally stopped again.

The pressure here is so terrifying that it is indescribable.

He slowly raised his head, and the ice-blue eyes on his blood-stained face were surprisingly bright, as if flames were burning.

Buzz——!

A dark red light suddenly condensed in his palm, and the ferocious blood spear that seemed to be made of solidified blood appeared out of thin air!

The moment the blood spear appeared, the violent golden liquid energy around it seemed to be stimulated and became even more turbulent!

The sacred and vast light of the sea god seemed to have encountered a natural enemy, and it madly attacked and suppressed the brutal and deadly aura emitted by the blood spear!

Chichichi–!

The dark red murderous aura and the golden sacred light collided violently and annihilated each other, making a heart-pounding sound.

Xuan Ming could clearly feel that the light of the sea god had a strong suppressing and purifying effect on the chaotic and violent origin of the blood spear.

The omnipresent divine pressure, like countless fine needles, pierced into the interior of the blood spear, impacting the chaotic pseudo-soul formed by the endless fragments of killing, causing it to emit painful and angry screams.

From the moment he stepped onto the Nine Heavens Profound Steps and sensed the targeted and unreasonable pressure, he realized that something was wrong.

His first test was clearly about “reshaping his will” and had nothing to do with climbing the ladder. Why was he being suppressed by such a clear and strong light of the sea god?

Sure enough… it was the seemingly frivolous sea god Sea God who secretly “added something” to him.

This vast and pure light of the Sea God, this pressure filled with divine purifying power, is the best external force to suppress, temper, and even purify the murderous aura of the Blood Spear!
