Chapter 956: Poseidon
The silver-white sword qi swirling through the air had not yet reached him, but the Third Prince could already feel the killing intent within it.His body felt as if it were being pressed down by something heavy.
His knees bent inch by inch, yet he gritted his teeth, unwilling to kneel.
*Crack—!*
The ground shattered inch by inch.
As Chen Huaian's finger pressed down, even before the silver-white sword qi descended, the ground around the Third Prince's feet was already covered in dense, crisscrossing sword marks.
*Sssss—!*
It was as if invisible blades were slicing across the Third Prince's skin, leaving bloody, lacerated wounds on his tough scales.
I'm going to die!
The will to survive erupted abruptly.
The Third Prince, unable to move an inch under the pressure, bit down hard on the tip of his tongue. The sharp pain finally gave him a sliver of a chance to catch his breath.
"You want to kill me?!" He roared, looking up. "You will pay the price for your actions!"
*Thud—!*
The trident in his hand smashed down onto the ground.
A ring of blue-gold divine ripples spread out like ocean waves.
One ring after another, until the divine ripples covered the entire colosseum.
The Third Prince had now broken free from the pressure of Chen Huaian's sword qi. Divine radiance shone in his eyes as his body, buoyed by ocean currents, leaped high into the air.
*Whoosh—!*
The seawater above the colosseum boiled, condensing into a massive vortex above the Third Prince's head.
The platform shook violently. The seabed's reefs disintegrated, ground to pieces by the churning currents.
Countless sea beasts were swallowed by the vortex, shredded into bloody mist before they could even scream.
The vortex rose, carrying the Third Prince's body and that trident, breaking through the sea's surface to connect with the gloomy sky.
Unbeknownst to all, dark clouds had long since gathered above the sea. Lead-grey clouds pressed down on the water's surface, as if they might sink into the ocean the very next second.
A gale howled. The Third Prince hovered between heaven and earth, his robes flapping wildly.
*Boom—!*
A bolt of lightning fell, twisting and roaring, striking the trident and merging with it.
*Boom! Boom! Boom—!*
In the blink of an eye, countless bolts of lightning fell. The trident, like a thirsty sponge, drank them all in.
Now, the trident in the Third Prince's hand had transformed into a spear of thunder.
A purple-gold shaft, entwined with countless leaping electric serpents.
At the spear's tip, lightning gathered into a single point of blinding white light, as if it could easily pierce through space itself.
He looked down from his high vantage point.
Relying on the residual divinity within the trident, he could finally face directly the sky-filling sword qi that had made him tremble, and the man at its center, whose hair was as white as snow.
Fear had vanished from the Third Prince's eyes, replaced only by madness and ferocity.
"Go to hell—!"
He roared hoarsely, raised the Thunder Spear, aimed it at the three figures below, and with all his might, hurled it down!
*BOOM!!!*
The moment the Thunder Spear left his hand, the world lost its color.
Purple-gold lightning illuminated the entire sky.
"Hah, a mere trifling trick!"
He had originally intended to spare this little worm's life.
After all, judging by the divine artifact he wielded, he was likely one of the illegitimate children of Poseidon that Eve had mentioned.
Unfortunately, this insect insisted on jumping around in front of him. In that case—go die!
Chen Huaian narrowed his eyes.
The myriad sword qi behind him trembled simultaneously, emitting a piercing shriek that seemed to rend the heavens.
The next instant—
Ten thousand swords launched together!
The silver-white tide of swords, like a breached heavenly river, surged towards the Third Prince and that Thunder Spear, blotting out the sky and covering the earth.
Wherever it passed, space shattered, seawater evaporated. Between heaven and earth, only that expanse of blinding white remained.
And just as the sword tide was about to swallow everything—
"Enough!"
A furious roar erupted from somewhere, shaking heaven and earth. The entire sea area trembled. Even the dark clouds in the sky scattered in fright.
The Thunder Spear hurled by the Third Prince shattered inch by inch under that roar, exploding into a shower of dissipating lightning.
Simultaneously, a barrier composed entirely of divine ocean currents materialized before Chen Huaian's myriad sword qi.
The divinity on that barrier was as profound as the sea, as vast as the abyss, as if the entire Endless Sea had been refined within it.
*Clang! Clang! Clang—!*
The silver-white sword tide crashed against the barrier, actually producing the sound of clashing metal.
The barrier trembled violently, its deep-blue light flickering madly, yet it stubbornly held its ground before the sword tide.
One or two strands of sword qi had no effect on the barrier, vanishing like mud thrown into the sea, unable to stir a ripple.
But Chen Huaian's sword qi was too numerous.
So numerous it was like a torrential downpour, like a tsunami, like an unceasing hurricane, as if it intended to overturn an entire sea!
No matter how profound the divinity on the barrier was, it could not withstand this endless, relentless assault.
*Crack—*
A tiny fissure appeared on the barrier.
Followed by a second.
A third.
Countless more.
*BOOM!!!*
The barrier exploded with a thunderous crash.
The remaining sword qi, like a raging storm, carrying even sharper killing intent, swept towards the Third Prince and the figure that had just appeared before him.
"Hmm?"
The figure shielding the Third Prince frowned slightly.
He seemed completely surprised that the barrier had failed to block the sword qi.
He waved his hand.
Layer upon layer of divinity surged forward like tidal waves. The silver-white sword qi was gradually neutralized within these endless waves, finally dissipating into nothingness.
Only then did Chen Huaian and the other two clearly see the person standing before the Third Prince.
He was a man of middle-aged appearance, with a towering stature, bronze skin, and muscles bulging like rocks.
Most striking were those eyes, imbued with divinity—deep blue and profound, carrying boundless majesty and oppressive force.
Yet deep within their depths, a tempest of immense sorrow raged.
—Like a colossal beast trapped in an abyss, sinking alone in endless darkness for millions of years.
His bare feet stood upon the void, yet it seemed as if invisible waves were supporting them from below.
The sea wind howled, blowing his pale, long hair, revealing a slender, elongated scar on his temple—a scar that had faded but was still clearly visible.
In his hand, he also held a trident.
This trident resembled the one in the Third Prince's hand, but the Third Prince's seemed more like a clumsy counterfeit.
The shaft was entirely dark gold, encircled by wave-like runes symbolizing the Sea God's divinity.
The tip had three prongs, its cold light restrained within.
Yet merely suspended there quietly, it made one feel an oppressive force capable of crushing stars.
The newcomer's identity required little guesswork.
From the purity of his divinity, it was clear this was the husband Eve had spoken of, the one who sired children everywhere—the Sea God, Poseidon.
"Father! You've come?! You've finally come!"
The Third Prince was overjoyed. He had almost believed he would die here today.
Now that the Divine Father himself had arrived, what did he have to fear?
"It's these humans!" He pointed at Chen Huaian and the other two, blaming others first. "They sought to defile your Divine Trial, trying to cheat their way into obtaining the qualification to vie for the Sea God's Divine Position. Unfortunately, my abilities are limited. I couldn't help the Divine Father eliminate these villains, forcing the Divine Father to intervene personally…"
Poseidon glanced at the cuts left by the sword qi on his palm, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
He rotated the Sea God's Trident in his hand.
*Thwump!*
With a sound, he impaled the Third Prince standing beside him, lifting him into the air.
