The Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo looked at each other in confusion upon seeing Tang Hao unconscious.
They had heard Tang Hao's furious shout earlier!
The Asura Demon Sword—just from its name, they knew it was incredibly powerful.
Could it be, as Tang Hao said, that the enemy had come to seize the Asura Demon Sword?
This matter must be related to Tang Chen's arrival at Poseidon Island some time ago.
High Priest, oh High Priest, why did you have to leave at this very moment?
Please return quickly!
The Sea God Temple has been robbed!
Poseidon did not keep them waiting long. Shortly after Dugu Feng left, she returned to Poseidon Island.
Due to the collision between the two sides, some houses on Poseidon Island had collapsed, and the roaring of the Ringed Sea left the entire island looking somewhat devastated.
Poseidon merely glanced around, noticing that the casualties were not severe, and immediately turned her gaze toward the Sea God Temple.
More precisely, she looked toward the corner of the Sea God Temple where the Asura Demon Sword had been.
She saw nothing.
Poseidon could not believe it. She closed her eyes, then opened them again, but the spot remained empty.
"The Asura Demon Sword is gone..."
Poseidon stood frozen in mid-air.
What was the Sea God Temple? It was the location of the Sea God Statue!
It was the place where the Inheritance Divine Artifact, Poseidon's Trident, resided.
The Sea God Statue within gathered the faith of billions of people across the seas toward the Sea God.
This Faith Power was the strongest force on Poseidon Island.
For example, the Sea God's Light that appeared during Tang San's God Test, and the God-given Soul Rings—the source of their power was this Faith Power.
Every time Poseidon left Sea God Mountain, she would casually activate the Sea God's Light.
The Sea God's Light would envelop the entire Sea God Mountain, making it impossible for anyone to enter the Sea God Temple without her permission.
Unless the opponent's strength surpassed the Faith Power accumulated over countless years.
But now, Sea God Mountain and the Sea God Temple remained undamaged, with only the Asura Demon Sword missing from within.
For a moment, Poseidon even wondered if the Sea God had descended to take the Asura Demon Sword away, but she knew that was impossible.
"Sea Dragon Douluo, tell me what happened!"
Poseidon's voice was cold and furious, like ten-thousand-year-old ice.
Sea Dragon Douluo stood over two meters tall, with a bare upper body. His shoulders were broad, his muscles knotted, and his back was covered in deep blue curly hair, resembling the Sea King.
But despite his formidable appearance, Sea Dragon Douluo seemed like a child before Poseidon. "High Priest, we don't know what happened either. When I sensed unusual movement in the Sea God Temple,
I saw a blood-red figure standing there, over a hundred meters tall.
The blood-red figure was filled with an aura of slaughter. Then Tang Hao angrily shouted that the other party had come to seize the Asura Demon Sword and attacked.
This blood-red shadow was incredibly powerful. Without even revealing its true appearance, it merely extended a spiked club from within the blood-red shadow and knocked Tang Hao unconscious..."
Sea Dragon Douluo recounted the entire process in detail.
"What did the blood-red shadow look like?"
Poseidon asked anxiously.
"Tall and slender, with a blurred face. It was bloody and slaughterous, yet carried a majestic, judgmental power that felt sacred.
When I faced this blood-red shadow, it felt the same as when I face the Sea God Statue."
Sea Dragon Douluo lowered his head in shame. He truly had not betrayed the Sea God, but that shadow in his heart was comparable to the Sea God.
Poseidon looked at the other six Sacred Pillar Douluo and saw unanimous agreement on their faces.
Instantly, she understood—this person must be someone like Tang Chen, possessing the Asura Domain.
In the two days before Tang Chen's death, the two of them had poured out their hearts, holding nothing back.
Tang Chen had told her everything about the God Tests he had experienced over the years.
This gave her some understanding of the Asura God's God Test.
That bloody slaughter, carrying an aura of judgment—who else could it be but an Asura God Successor?
"High Priest, have you found that little thief? How dare he cause trouble on Poseidon Island—I'll devour him!" At that moment, Xiao Bai returned.
Xiao Bai charged over to Poseidon and Sea Dragon Douluo, full of fury and bluster.
When she saw the serious expressions on their faces, she immediately sensed something was wrong.
She communicated telepathically with Sea Horse Douluo and the others, and in just a moment, she understood the whole story.
The more Xiao Bai listened, the more agitated she became. "High Priest, High Priest! I knew it! That's why I could never catch the Sea God's Heart!
I understand now—the Sea God's Heart is in that person's hands. Without it, how could he have entered the Sea God Temple?
How could he have stirred Poseidon's Trident?
He must have used the Sea God's Heart to lure us away from Poseidon Island, then sneaked into the Sea God Temple and taken the Asura Demon Sword!"
Xiao Bai exclaimed loudly.
"The Sea God's Heart!" The Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo were stunned, having no idea what it was.
Reminded by Xiao Bai, Poseidon also came to her senses.
The Sea God's Heart had appeared in the surrounding seas precisely to lure them away.
With the Sea God's Heart in his possession, entering the Sea God Temple naturally meant he wouldn't be attacked by the Sea God's Faith Power.
"You guard Poseidon Island. I'll go after this thief!"
Poseidon could no longer hold back. This person had stolen the Asura Demon Sword, which was utterly detestable, but the way he had done it was even more hateful—he had made a fool of her, Poseidon.
She was the Sea God's High Priest, after all.
Poseidon soared into the sky, and a massive phantom appeared behind her. Like an Asura Manifestation, its face was indistinct, but it exuded an aura of majesty, peace, and divinity.
This was Poseidon's Martial Soul—the Sea God.
The Sea God phantom moved, pressing its hands downward. In the ocean below, waves rose without wind, a gentle ripple spreading across the sea, one wave chasing another, extending throughout the entire ocean.
This was Poseidon's Domain Skill—commanding the sea as the Sea God. In the ocean, she was the Sea God's spokesperson.
The entire ocean was her power.
Poseidon flew swiftly toward the continent. Though she hadn't found the thief yet, he was undoubtedly from the mainland.
She refused to believe that, in such a short time, he could have flown out of the ocean.
The vast power of the sea expanded Poseidon's detection range to its maximum.
Coupled with her swift flight, the spectacle was truly grand.
But as time passed, Poseidon's heart gradually sank. She had already neared the continent but still hadn't found him.
A sense of foreboding arose within her. Why did this Soul Master's actions resemble those of the Soul Master who had hunted the Deep Sea Demon Whale King last time?
Both had vanished in the blink of an eye, impossible to find.
Their concealment abilities were too strong.
It must undoubtedly be that Evil Soul Master again.
But for this Evil Soul Master to possess the Asura God Inheritance—that was truly astonishing.
If the other party were to ascend to godhood, the continent would never know peace again.
"He has already mastered the skill of Asura Manifestation and seized the Asura Demon Sword. Once he absorbs Tang Chen's accumulated Asura energy, it is not impossible for him to instantly ascend to godhood.
Could it be...
Could he truly be on the verge of becoming a God!"
Finally, with her thoughts in disarray, Poseidon arrived at the sea surface outside Vast Sea City.
Even here, she still could not find the other party.
