At Ning Liu's command, Xu Jiushi and the others took action.
Several flames shot into the sky, igniting the mountain of demonic orca corpses.
The scorching flames licked at the corpses, crackling and popping, and the pungent stench of burning flesh mingled with the smell of burning flesh, carrying far on the sea breeze.
The Great White Shark swarm watched this scene silently, their eyes devoid of joy, only filled with the emptiness of revenge finally achieved.
The atmosphere was somewhat somber on the way back.
"The content of the fifth test is already in my mind."
Xiao Wu was the first to break the silence. She leaned against Ning Liu, looked up at him, and her eyes were filled with a sense of solemnity.
"The fifth trial of the Sea God, the challenge: the guardians of the Seven Sacred Pillars. I must defeat all seven titled Douluo-level guardians within thirty-six hours."
Everyone was taken aback by these words.
Thirty-six hours, or three days, to challenge seven Title Douluos in a row?
This is no longer a difficult task, but an almost impossible one.
Each guardian of the sacred pillars is a top expert in the sea, with a soul power of at least level 91. They can also draw on the power of the sacred pillars and the sea, making them far stronger than land-based soul masters of the same level.
"Mine is also a challenger to the Pillar Guardians,"
Yang Bubai said in a deep voice, "The fifth of the top seven trials is to challenge and defeat the three guardians of the holy pillars within one hundred and eight hours."
Shui Bing'er continued, "My content is the same as his."
"My test is the sixth level of the Black Rank, which requires defeating a Holy Pillar Guardian within 108 hours."
Dugu Yan's voice sounded somewhat weak.
Even if it's just one person, it's an insurmountable mountain for her.
Different levels of challenges correspond to vastly different levels of difficulty. But without a doubt, each one pushes them to their limits.
Xu Jiushi grinned as he listened:
"Goodness, this sea god thinks too highly of you."
"Let alone Dugu Yan, a Soul King, even Xiao Wu, a Soul Saint, would be difficult to deal with."
"What's there to be afraid of?"
As everyone pondered their options with varying expressions, Ning Liu spoke up.
His expression was relaxed and carefree.
He looked around at everyone, and finally his gaze fell on Xiao Wu's worried face. He reached out and pinched her cheek.
"Don't worry, I'm here. Even if there are seven, let alone seventeen, I'll take them all down."
His nonchalant attitude greatly calmed everyone's emotions.
"My lord, do you have another wicked idea up your sleeve?"
Xu Jiushi leaned over and asked, winking at him.
Ning Liu smiled mysteriously:
"You'll find out then. Little White, speed things up, let's head straight to the Seahorse Pillar."
"Seahorse Pillar?"
Shui Bing'er was a little puzzled. "Shouldn't we rest for a bit first?"
"Need not,"
Ning Liu waved his hand, "Strike while the iron is hot. Let's go meet our old acquaintance, Seahorse Douluo."
...
The Seahorse Pillar still stands quietly in the center of the circular sea, solemn and sacred.
Seahorse Douluo sat cross-legged on the platform in front of the sacred pillar, his eyes closed and his breath long and deep, as if he had become one with the entire sea.
When Xiaobai's enormous figure appeared at the entrance to the Ring Sea, he opened his eyes almost instantly.
"King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark?"
Seahorse Douluo frowned slightly, then saw Ning Liu and his group on the shark's back, and his eyes immediately became puzzled.
"Why...did you come back?"
He stood up, his voice filled with confusion.
"The fourth test, the extermination of the demonic orca horde, is not a task that can be completed in a short time. Could it be that they encountered some trouble along the way and gave up prematurely?"
In his view, this is the most reasonable explanation.
That's a pod of demonic orcas, a major scourge of the ocean, infamous for its ferocity. Even if all seven Saint Pillar Douluos from Seagod Island were to come out together, it would still take considerable effort to wipe them out. How long have Ning Liu and his group been gone?
"You flatter me, senior."
Ning Liu gracefully landed on Xiao Bai's back and stood steadily on the platform. "The mere demonic orca has been dealt with."
Seahorse Douluo's expression froze.
He looked Ning Liu up and down, then glanced at Xiao Wu, Yang Bubai, and the others behind him. He noticed that although their auras were somewhat fluctuating, they were full of energy, and their soul power was even more refined than when they left. They didn't look like they had just experienced a fierce battle.
Especially Xu Jiushi, whose soul power pressure was much stronger than before.
"Resolved?"
Seahorse Douluo's voice was somewhat hoarse; he felt that his understanding had been shaken.
"The Demon Orca King... what about that beast that's a hundred thousand years old?"
Ning Liu raised his left leg and gently stomped the ground.
Buzz!
A surge of deep blue soul power flashed by, its domineering and sinister aura causing Seahorse Douluo's pupils to shrink abruptly.
"A soul bone from ten thousand years ago..."
He exclaimed in shock, "You killed it and absorbed its soul bone?!"
How is that possible!
From leaving to returning, it only took a little over half a day.
In half a day, they annihilated the entire horde of demonic tiger whales, killed a king of the 100,000-year level, and also absorbed the soul rings and soul bones along the way.
Just as Seahorse Douluo was questioning his existence, the Sea God's mark between Xiao Wu and the others' eyebrows lit up simultaneously.
That was proof that the assessment was completed and the information was synchronized to the sacred pillar.
Seahorse Douluo froze upon sensing the information transmitted by the Holy Pillar, his mouth slightly agape, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
Facts speak louder than words.
"Then...what brings you to my Seahorse Sacred Pillar?"
