: The Dark Blue Silver Emperor, Blue Silver Purgatory

Poseidon looked at Tang San, her expression remaining calm, but her eyes held a dark glint.

Poseidon entrusted you with the task of hosting them, and you readily agreed with a smile.

Ning Rongrong looked you up and down, asking if you had met before. You shook your head in denial. While you were talking, Oscar watched you with a wary expression.

Ning Rongrong noticed Oscar's unfriendly gaze, glanced back at him, and remained silent.

[Without the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid this time, Oscar's cultivation progress is slowing down, and he's now far behind the average level at Shrek Academy. His sixth soul skill, "Replica Mirror Sausage," which could boost his combat power, is nowhere to be seen.]

According to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's rules, the spouse of a direct descendant must be a combat-type Soul Master, making it impossible for Ning Rongrong and Oscar to be together.

You meet Oscar's murderous gaze, then simply smile slightly, your long, flowing blue-gold hair cascading down. Behind you lies a blue sky, white clouds, and the shimmering sea.

Oscar's murderous intent intensified.

Oscar is planning to "teach you a lesson." He has the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow given to him by his third brother. Oscar has traveled extensively over the years and has killed many powerful figures with this weapon, so he has confidence in it.

Even if he fails, Oscar is confident he can escape with his high-speed flying mushroom sausage.

As the sun sets and you walk alone back to your lodgings, a crossbow bolt suddenly shoots out from the shadows, aimed straight at your head. You slightly shift your body, deliberately injuring yourself, and simultaneously unleash your soul skill. Blue-gold grass with magnificent, brilliant golden patterns, as beautiful as a work of art, bursts forth from the ground, quickly binding Oscar.

Instead of focusing on healing your injuries, you took the struggling Oscar and the repeating crossbow on his body to see Poseidon.

[The new examiner attacked you, the prospective priest who had passed the test and was recognized as the next priestess of Seagod Island. Under normal circumstances, you could have easily killed Oscar.]

However, Oscar happens to be a friend of Tang San, the examiner who underwent the Nine Trials of the Sea God. The Holy Pillars and Priestess Poseidon were caught in a dilemma, and ultimately decided to bring Tang San, the examiner, to them first.

As soon as Tang San entered, he noticed the hostile gazes around him. He saw his companion Oscar, bound and lying in the center of the hall. Although he didn't know what had happened, a murderous glint flashed in his eyes. However, given the difference in strength between them and the fact that he needed the help of these Holy Pillar Guardians for the subsequent assessment, Tang San suppressed his anger, gracefully bowed, and asked, "Gentlemen, I don't know what happened. Why did you help my friend?"

Seeing the Sea God's humble attitude, the expressions of the Holy Pillar Guardians softened slightly. Seahorse Douluo then told Tang San about Oscar's actions.

[After hearing this, Tang San remained expressionless and defended Oscar, explaining that it was all a misunderstanding; Oscar was simply practicing shooting the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow and accidentally injured you.]

[Actually, Tang San understood immediately after hearing this. Oscar was angry with you because of Ning Rongrong, which is why he attacked you. There was no misunderstanding whatsoever...]

However, in Tang San's view, you provoked Ning Rongrong and tried to cuckold his brother. Even if he really killed you, it would be because you had a reason to die, and you can't blame anyone else.

･･････････

In the end, the matter was dropped. After all, Tang San was a divine examiner, and you only suffered minor injuries.

Unnoticed by anyone, a wisp of black has appeared within your beautiful and magnificent Blue Silver Emperor...

[No one knows that when you came to Seagod Island, you brought a bunch of saltpeter, charcoal, and sugar with you in your spatial soul tool...]

The little monsters at Shrek Academy are busy training, while you're busy with your own things.

[At the age of twenty-six, you have reached level ninety-seven, while Tang San, through the rewards of the Divine Trial, has also caught up and reached level ninety-six.]

[You weren't jealous; instead, you looked at Tang San and his companions with great satisfaction, happy that they were growing strong and looking forward to the day of harvest.]

[After Tang San hunted down the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and returned to Seagod Island, you hosted a celebratory banquet for them.]

The island was brightly decorated, the aroma of food filled the air, and plenty of drinks were prepared. Even Tang San couldn't resist joining in; as a disciple of the Tang Sect, he was confident that the food and drinks were of good quality.

Just as everyone was slightly tipsy, you stood on the cliff edge of Poseidon Mountain, listening to the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks below, and admiring the beautiful sight of the moon rising over the sea.

Then, with a loud "BOOM!"

The entire Poseidon Island was shaking violently.

The island's inhabitants fled in panic due to the massive explosion.

The seven holy pillars and High Priestess Poseidon were alarmed and wanted to protect Seagod Island. However, the moment they used their soul power, strands of blue-gold and black Blue Silver Grass burst forth from their bodies.

Flesh and blood, soul power, and even the soul itself were transformed into nourishment for these Dark Blue Silver Emperors.

[At some unknown time, blue silver grass could be seen everywhere on Poseidon Island; now, all of these blue silver grasses have turned black.]

Seagod Island has been transformed into a blood-red inferno...

Tang San wanted to use Tang Sect techniques to suppress the Blue Silver Grass seed within his body, but to his despair, he discovered that, for some reason, his power seemed to be suppressed. This was the Blue Silver Emperor's suppression of Tang San, who possessed the Blue Silver Grass bloodline.

As a Limit Douluo capable of using divine power, Poseidon was barely able to suppress the Blue Silver Grass within her body, which was frantically absorbing nutrients.

"Fang Yuan!!!" Poseidon roared as she watched the Seagod Island, the place that had given her life and which she had protected her entire life, turn into ruins and a blue-silver inferno.

Your feet are connected to your people, and you receive their continuous sustenance.

[Your soul power is rapidly increasing. Your once beautiful blue-gold hair and eye color have turned black, and your ethereal and exquisite aura has vanished, replaced by darkness and evil.]

You are extremely excited; you have finally understood the real method.

[Poseidon suppressed the Dark Blue Silver Grass within her, saved Tang San, and found herself before you.]

At this moment, she could no longer maintain her beautiful and youthful appearance; her eyes were filled with hatred as she looked at you.

Tang San looked at you, and for some reason, he felt a sense of submission to you that came from his bloodline, even though he hadn't felt this way before...

[He didn't know that this was because you had deliberately suppressed your Blue Silver Emperor aura.]

Looking at the two people who walked up to you, you smiled slightly and looked up...
