Chapter 294
Main quest completed, Shura Armor unlocked!
A golden light flashed, and Lin Mu had already changed into the Thunder Yatalis. He then took a step forward and grabbed the Scepter of Destruction.
"boom--"
The moment the scepter of destruction was grasped, a destructive force far exceeding anything seen before erupted forth, shaking the surrounding area for miles around.
Even so, Lin Mu did not retreat even a step.
This is all thanks to the Thunder Yatalis Armor. As the ultimate armor, it has extremely strong defensive capabilities, enough to withstand more than 90% of damage.
Therefore, Lin Mu was able to calmly wield the scepter of destruction.
Immediately afterwards, he mobilized all his soul power, and the five ultimate elemental powers wrapped around the Destruction Scepter to counteract the destructive power it emitted.
After some attempts, he finally raised the Scepter of Destruction.
[The seventh trial of the God of Destruction is complete. Reward: 15% affinity with the God of Destruction, total affinity 75%.]
"That simple?!"
Lin Mu was somewhat incredulous. He had thought the seventh test would be very difficult, but he hadn't expected to complete it so easily.
In fact, even the God of Destruction had not anticipated this turn of events.
In his view, as one of the five super artifacts of the God Realm, Lin Mu would have to risk half his life to barely gain the approval of the Scepter of Destruction.
However, reality proved him wrong; he had clearly underestimated Lin Mu's strength.
If this divine artifact were given to Lin Mu, it might unleash power far exceeding its original strength. After all, Lin Mu wields five ultimate elements, and when combined with the Scepter of Destruction, he could destroy the heavens and the earth.
For him, the stronger Lin Mu was, the more beneficial it would be for him and his wife.
Although Ye Lingling's abilities are slightly inferior, Lin Mu's strength is powerful enough, even possessing the potential to surpass the God of Destruction. In the future, the two of them will only have greater influence in the God Realm.
[The God of Destruction's Eighth Trial: Condense five elemental soul cores, with a one-year time limit.]
"Hmm? It's been normal since the seventh exam?"
Lin Mu's eyes flickered slightly. It seemed that the first six tests were just ordinary tests, so the God of Destruction had gone easy on them. The difficulty of the seventh test increased exponentially from the beginning.
However, it wasn't too difficult for him.
After all, he had planned to condense five elemental soul cores a long time ago, which would maximize his strength.
A moment later, Lin Muqiang suppressed his excitement and turned to look at Ye Lingling, only to find that she also had a miniature version of the Ancient Tree of Life in her hand.
Clearly, the God of Life also passed on the super artifact, the Ancient Tree of Life, to Ye Lingling.
However, Ye Lingling did not have Lin Mu's outstanding abilities and did not immediately gain the recognition of the Tree of Life, so she had to put the matter aside for the time being.
"Little San, have you finished your eighth Sea God Trial?" Lin Mu asked Tang San.
"Master, I only have the last of the Sea God's inheritance left."
After a pause, Tang San suddenly remembered something and changed the subject, saying, "Master, I'm actually not in a hurry to become a god. You still have some time before you become a god, so why don't I wait a few more months?"
"Silly boy, who says a disciple must become a god after his master?"
As he spoke, Lin Mu reached out and tapped Tang San on the forehead.
Upon hearing this, Tang San scratched his cheek sheepishly. He really didn't want to become a god before his master, and he didn't want to enter the God Realm alone.
He attributed his success in passing the assessment so smoothly mainly to his mentor's guidance and help.
At this moment, Lin Mu noticed his worry and explained, "After you become a god, you will not immediately enter the God Realm. You can stay here to take care of your personal affairs."
Although the God Realm seems grand and dignified, it's actually quite dull and boring; it's much more comfortable to stay on the Douluo Continent. However, there are rules that limit lifespan; if one cannot become a god, then lifespan is finite.
For Tang San, he couldn't bear to abandon his master, mother, and Xiao Wu and enter the God Realm alone, so he wanted to wait for his master to complete the God Trial.
After returning to Heaven Dou City, Lin Mu rested for two days before taking Tang San and Xiao Wu to Seagod Island.
Ye Lingling needed to complete the seventh trial of the God of Life, so she did not go with him.
In just half a day, Lin Mu and his two companions arrived at Poseidon Island.
Soon, with the help of the Seven Sacred Pillars Guardians, they arrived at the foot of Poseidon Mountain, where they could see Poseidon Douluo on the summit.
Although she still exuded the same majesty as before, her appearance had undergone a dramatic change.
The once magnificent and elegant grand master has disappeared, replaced by a frail and elderly woman, which is quite surprising.
On the one hand, she had already made preparations for the sacrifice.
On the other hand, Tang Chen is already dead, so she no longer needs to maintain her previous youthful appearance.
"Let's go."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Mu gently waved his hand, creating an invisible breeze that transported him and Tang San to the summit of Seagod Mountain, while Xiao Wu remained below.
Looking at Tang San's retreating figure, Xiao Wu felt a complex mix of emotions.
She both hoped that Tang San could successfully inherit the Sea God's legacy, and worried that they would be separated after Tang San became a god.
“Brother, in order to stay by your side forever, I also need to find the divine inheritance.”
Xiao Wu's eyes were firm as she secretly made up her mind.
Meanwhile, Lin Mu and Tang San had already followed Poseidon into the Sea God Temple, which was still pitch black inside.
A moment later, Poseidon stopped, turned to look at Tang San, a hint of sadness in her eyes, and said, "Tang San, your great-grandfather asked me to give this to you before he died."
As soon as she finished speaking, Poseidon flicked her wrist and made a gesture toward the side of the Temple of Poseidon.
The next moment, a red light suddenly shone, and in a flash, the Asura Demon Sword appeared in front of the three of them.
Even when faced with the temptation of the Asura Godhood, Tang San did not lose his rationality.
Although the Asura God is a level higher than the Sea God, the difficulty is also much higher. Moreover, he has already completed most of the Sea God's trials, so there is no need for him to give up all his previous efforts.
"Senior, let's leave this here for now."
"That's good too. The sooner I help you finish the assessment, the sooner I can be free."
After a brief pause, Poseidon looked at Lin Mu again and said solemnly, "Lin Mu, thank you for treating Tang Chen before. That period was the best time of my life."
As the saying goes, a dying man's words are often good.
Previously, Poseidon harbored some hostility towards Lin Mu, but she has come to terms with it now.
"Let's not dwell on the past," Lin Mu said calmly.
Next, Poseidon initiates Tang San's Sea God inheritance through a sacrifice.
The first step was to strengthen his Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone, a process that was extremely painful. However, Tang San had experienced several bone-shattering incidents and was able to persevere.
Next came his other soul bones.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Mu noticed that the progress bar on the light screen in front of him surged, reaching 100% in one fell swoop.
[Main quest completion rate reached 100%, unlocking the Asura Armor, rewarding all Soul Rings with a 100,000-year increase in age.] (End of Chapter)
