NOVEL NEXT Chapter 538: 524 Ao Jun_1
"The weather in the Black Sea is just like that," Poseissi said. "Here, the power of faith in the Sea God has already vanished. Let me try if I can control the weather!"
As Poseissi spoke, the wand in her hand burst into an endless blue radiance, which instantly spread to cover tens of miles around.
In normal seas, Poseissi's control should have been enough to calm the entire ocean. But now, far from becoming calm, the sea turned even more tumultuous.
A massive shark soul beast, with its gaping maw wide open, leapt out of the sea, aiming to swallow Poseissi whole.
Of course, it did not succeed. With a slight concentration of her beautiful pupils, Poseissi ground the shark soul beast into waves.
"Great Worship, even you can't control the weather here?" Sea Witch Douluo asked in surprise.
"Mhm, as I said before, this sea holds no power of faith towards the Sea God," Poseissi nodded. "Furthermore, the Sea God has no intention of conquering this sea."
"Let me try!" At that moment, Chu Qin's voice rang out.
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze towards Chu Qin.
Chu Qin smiled faintly, extended his right hand forward, and chanted softly, "Ocean Controlling Art - Extreme!"
Following Chu Qin's low howl, a terrifying energy expanded instantaneously at the speed of light, reaching hundreds of miles in a moment.
The next second, the previously roiling clouds became calm, and the surging waves also obediently settled down, as if they dared not raise even a splash in front of Chu Qin.
Everyone was stunned for a second, then burst into strong acclamation!
"Incredible!" Bai Xiuxiu and Wang Qiu'er jumped up excitedly.
Poseissi and Bi Bidong, among others, smiled wryly in their astonishment.
Lei Ying'er and Sea Witch Douluo were utterly dumbfounded.
Just now, the energy within Chu Qin seemed like a real, immeasurable ocean!
This was undoubtedly the strongest fluctuation of Soul Power they had ever witnessed!
"Chu Qin, just how far has your Soul Power progressed?" Xiaowu inquired curiously.
"I don't know!" Chu Qin said with a smile, shaking his head.
"Just tell me!" Xiaowu shook Chu Qin's arm, her face showing she wouldn't rest until she got an answer.
"Xiaowu, I really don't know!" Chu Qin replied helplessly. "I should have reached God Rank, but as for how strong I am, I'm afraid Na'er is the one to ask!"
"God Rank!" Hearing Chu Qin's response, everyone showed an incredulous expression.
Especially for Poseissi and Bi Bidong, Longhuang, they were the ones closest to gods and knew how difficult it was to break through that limit.
And Chu Qin had reached God Rank without the aid of a divine position.
Moreover, Chu Qin must not have been an ordinary God Rank, otherwise, how could his simple strike just now unleash such terrifying power!
"Physical godhood, the Sea God took more than a thousand years to achieve!" Poseissi couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. "Chu Qin, your potential is even greater than that of the Sea God!"
"Poseissi, don't forget that I also ascended through the Sea God's test and received the inheritance of the Qinglong Bloodline!" Chu Qin replied with a smile.
"The Sea God also gained many opportunities back then. It's all part of the process of becoming stronger," Poseissi responded. "Lord Chu Qin, you are being modest!"
Chu Qin simply smiled without a word.
And at that moment, sensing the powerful fluctuations of Chu Qin's energy, some lurking soul beasts beneath the sea retreated. Others hurriedly rushed towards the core of the Black Sea!
```
Under the Black Sea, within a certain enchanted barrier.
Here stands a gigantic European-style cathedral.
There are three thrones in this grand hall.
At this moment, a blue-haired man of extraordinary stature, likely three meters tall, was sitting on the throne with his eyes closed.
One could see that the man's body was radiating an extremely rich Soul Power aura, and with each breath, it almost seemed as if the ancient dragon's hum could be heard.
This person was none other than one of the overlords of the Black Sea's core area, Ao Jun!
"Ao Jun!" A boundless, ethereal, and pleasant female voice suddenly echoed throughout the hall.
"Ao Jun greets my god!" On hearing this, Ao Jun immediately rose from the throne and knelt in the middle of the grand hall.
"May I ask, my god, what are your commands?" inquired Ao Jun.
"I just felt a surge of powerful energy." The woman known as a god replied.
"A powerful energy fluctuation…" Ao Jun said, surprised.
"Yes, this power has breached some of the Black Sea's restrictions!" the woman replied.
"That's impossible! Aren't the Black Sea restrictions personally cast by you?" Ao Jun asked in astonishment, "Could it be that Poseidon has come!"
"That's impossible!" the woman retorted, "Poseidon has already ascended to the Divine Realm. Moreover, he would never come to the Black Sea. However, I sense that his worshipers have come!"
"Worshipers... the Grand Priest of Sea God Island, Poseissi?" Ao Jun asked.
"Exactly!" the woman suddenly said fiercely, "Ao Jun, I don't care how you do it, but bring Poseissi to me!"
"But Poseissi... has Poseidon's Martial Soul and is also a human Ultimate Douluo." Ao Jun expressed his worries, "It is said that even the Deepsea Devil Whale King is no match for her!"
"This is the Black Sea, your territory. Remember, if you fail to capture Poseissi, come to me with your head!" the woman instructed and then fell silent.
"Yes!" Ao Jun replied, his body trembling.
Meanwhile, Chu Qin and his party's Golden Battleship had already sailed into the Black Sea.
One could see that although the weather had been controlled by Chu Qin, turning it clear and sunny, the sea water here was still black!
"Strange, my Soul Power seems to be restricted!" Bi Bidong suddenly spoke up.
"That's because we've reached the Black Sea!" Poseissi replied.
"The Black Sea can restrict Soul Power?" Yan Mei asked, surprised.
"Yes! The Black Sea has many restrictions, but I'm not too sure of all the specifics," replied Poseissi.
"Fortunately, the restriction isn't much," Chu Qin said with a smile. It seemed that this limitation was of little concern to Chu Qin.
"Yes, it seems to be about forty to fifty percent," Bi Bidong nodded.
"That's probably because all of you have received the blessing of the Sea God. Although the Black Sea isn't the Sea God's territory, it is still the ocean!" Poseissi said with a smile, "Alright, now that we've arrived, from this moment on, everyone except the candidates should wait outside the Black Sea!"
"Poseissi, could you make an exception?" Chu Qin asked, "Xiaowu and Zhu Qing are here to obtain Soul Rings. How can they do that waiting outside?"
"Well then! They can follow you, but they must not intervene, use Soul Power, or be together," Poseissi nodded, "Otherwise, it will be considered a failure for everyone. Additionally! Besides Chu Qin, who must kill all Black Sea soul beasts aged 100,000 years and above, the other candidates must stay in the Black Sea for a month and locate the Heart of the Ocean at its core."
