On the western frontier of the Spirit Empire, a magnificent city stood tall on the edge of the boundless sea.

Hanhai City, a city permeated with the sea breeze, was once an outpost for the Spirit Hall to guard against Seagod Island, but after Amon rose and became the number one threat to the Spirit Hall, the attention it received greatly decreased.

Compared to the sea Soul Masters isolated overseas who never participated in land battles, the ambitious and cunning Amon was obviously more worthy of vigilance.

A young man wearing a blue-black military uniform, with deep blue hair and azure eyes, walked to the city gate, gazing at this majestic city without uttering a word.

After looking for a long time, he finally lifted his leg and continued to walk forward.

"Stop! Outsider, you are a soul master, right?" Larrov, wearing casual clothes but with a guard's sword at his waist, walked over.

"What is it?" Lei Yin asked calmly.

Larrov said, "Now, all mainland soul masters entering the city need to register at the Seagod Branch Hall and receive an identity card…"

"There are law enforcement teams composed of sea soul masters patrolling the road. If you are asked to show your identity card, you must cooperate."

"If you cannot show it, you may be regarded as an enemy and attacked."

Lei Yin raised an eyebrow: "Seagod Branch Hall? Identity card? As far as I know, this should be the territory of the Spirit Hall. Have they given up on this place?"

Larrov's expression changed, and he whispered a reminder: "Don't mention the name of that mainland force here. Hanhai City is now ruled by sea soul masters."

"Also, be careful of thieves… In Hanhai City, having your wallet stolen is a very normal thing. If it happens, you can only blame yourself for being unlucky."

"Thieves?" Lei Yin's eyes narrowed slightly.

Larrov said with a sullen face: "The thieves here are very rampant. My wallet was stolen again yesterday."

He nodded: "Thank you for your reminder."

Lei Yin came to the Seagod Branch Hall near the city gate under the guidance of a guard.

"A soul master from the mainland?" The deacon of the Seagod Branch Hall could tell Lei Yin's temperament, which was different from that of sea soul masters, at a glance.

"Tell me about the recent situation on the mainland, and don't hide anything. If we find you are talking nonsense, we will treat you as a spy."

The deacon was a Soul Ancestor, and at this moment, he was exuding soul power, faintly pressing towards Lei Yin.

The situation on the mainland… It seems that the sea soul masters can't sit still either. The civil war in Douluo Continent makes them feel uneasy.

But is it a bit passive to just control Hanhai City and then understand the situation by questioning soul masters from the mainland? How much do you rely on the sea? You are not even willing to send people to inquire about information… Lei Yin thought to himself.

Lei Yin said some things that ordinary soul masters would know. Then he saw the Soul Ancestor deacon looking blank.

What? The Spirit Empire counterattacked?

The Tudor Empire is facing internal and external troubles and may collapse at any time?

The last version I heard was that the Tudor Empire almost annexed the Spirit Empire!

The deacon nodded pretending to be calm:

'very good, the information you provided is very valuable, and I will report it."

Then, he took out an identity card: "This is your identity card. Remember not to lose it, otherwise there will be trouble. Now is a very special period, so Hanhai City has strict control over mainland soul masters."

Lei Yin glanced at the identity card in his hand, which was made of some kind of marine plant and had a fishy smell. He showed a knowing smile. Identity cards with unique smells can often be tracked by some means.

But he didn't care about this, and asked, "If I want to go to sea, who would be more suitable to look for?"

The Soul Ancestor deacon's face sank, and he sternly warned: "Go to sea? No going to sea! Hanhai City strictly prohibits anyone from assisting mainland soul masters to go to sea, otherwise they will be listed as apostates by Seagod Island and punished."

Lei Yin's face gradually darkened. His temper hasn't been so good lately.

Just as he was about to flare up, the sea soul master deacon suddenly looked around, then lowered his voice and said quietly:

"The regulations are like this, and I must give a warning, this is my duty. But you can go to Alger, he used to be a subordinate of Captain Klein, who made his fortune by going to sea."

"Later, after Captain Klein unfortunately died at sea once, he bought a ship himself and started deep-sea fishing."

"Everyone says he is the man who knows the sea best, and he will help you find what you want. By the way, remember to say that I introduced you to him when you look for him… He will give me a referral fee."

Lei Yin found Captain Alger in a tavern. This was a middle-aged man with sea-blue hair like his. His face was firm, and his eyes were as deep as the sea.

"Hello… Are you Captain Alger?" Lei Yin stepped forward to say hello.

"A mainland soul master? Here to hunt soul beasts?" Before Lei Yin could say his intention, Alger saw through him.

Seeing this, Lei Yin smiled: "It seems you are very experienced."

Alger took a sip of apple wine and said: "Yes, many mainland soul masters have come to me. I heard that something went wrong in Star Dou Forest. My fee for a voyage is not low, and it varies depending on the age of the soul beast you want to hunt."

"You can wait a few days and join a group, which will be much cheaper. Of course, if you don't lack money, you can also charter the ship yourself."

Lei Yin threw a soul tool ring over, which was filled with various gems and gold coins. Roughly estimated, it was more than 100,000 gold soul coins.

"This is just a deposit."

Alger swallowed, seemingly dazzled by the huge wealth. After a long time, he said with some difficulty:

"A… A deposit? What kind of soul beast do you need to hunt?"

"Lightning attribute, exceeding two hundred thousand years."

Lei Yin replied calmly.

Alger's expression changed, then he revealed a wry smile: "This is life-buying money…"

He held the Soul Guidance Device ring, struggled for a moment, and gritted his teeth, saying:

"I'll do it! But we will only take you to a specific sea area, and then stay away, agreeing on a time… two days, or three days to pick you up again."

"There's no need to pick me up. Just drop me off in the sea area where the target soul beast frequents, and then I will give you the final payment and leave you an hour to leave," Lei Yin responded.

"Okay." Alger's face showed joy, "Give me a day to gather the crew. If it's just like this, it will be much safer."

The next day, the eastern sky had just turned white, and golden rays shone on the sea. Lei Yin boarded Alger's sailboat.

Although it was a sailboat, a Soul Guidance Device thruster was installed at the stern. If necessary, the mast could be cut off, and the Soul Guidance Device could be used for rapid sailing.

Before setting off, Alger confirmed again: "Do you really want to find a ferocious beast that is over two hundred thousand years old? You mainland soul masters should know how terrifying such things are better than we do.

It was after the beast tide stirred up in the Star Dou Great Forest and threatened you that we discovered that above the hundred thousand year soul beasts, there are such terrifying existences.

"I can't be sure that the soul beast we're taking you to find this time is over two hundred thousand years old. I only know that it is a very terrifying soul beast, definitely not something an ordinary hundred thousand year soul beast can compare to.

"Of course, I can't guarantee the truth of the information, nor can I guarantee that we can definitely find that soul beast. I've only heard many related rumors. After all, few people who have seen that ghostly thing have survived.

"If we don't find it, or if we find it and it doesn't meet your requirements, we can take you to other sea areas to look for other rumored soul beasts."

Lei Yin nodded: "That's reasonable."

Alger said in a low voice: "Then I'll tell you about our first target. It's a sea behemoth called 'Steel Sea Dragon', a special individual of the Emperor Sea Dragon.

"It possesses a body as indestructible as steel, and the power to summon lightning. According to rumors, it can turn the entire sea into a lightning domain. When it gets angry, the sky is covered with dark clouds, and thunderclouds roll.

"If the rumors haven't exaggerated its power, then this should meet your conditions."

"Okay, you arrange the itinerary. Tell me when we reach the target sea area," Lei Yin said as he walked towards the cabin.

A sailor ran to Alger's side and asked: "Captain, is this really going to work? Judging by his appearance, he's probably only in his twenties, right? He's going to hunt that kind of monster alone? The sea area where the Steel Sea Dragon lives is one of the absolute forbidden zones on the sea!"

Alger waved his hand dismissively: "So what? Rumor has it that the 'Blood Emperor' who stirred up trouble on the mainland isn't very old either…

"More importantly, he gave enough money. Earning this sum, all of us on the ship can retire and live the rest of our lives in peace. Isn't that good?"

The sailor smiled, "That's true."

Men who make a living at sea are never afraid of gambling, because every time they go to sea, they are risking their lives.

… … … …

Sea God Island, Sea God Temple.

Tang San walked to the Sea God Platform located in the center and grasped the long handle of the Sea God Trident, which was inserted upside down in the center like a black stick.

At that moment, he felt as if he was holding the entire Sea God Mountain, holding the entire sea.

An unspeakable sense of terrifying pressure filled his heart. He only felt that his arm was so heavy that trying to pull out the trident was like trying to pull up the entire mountain.

The long handle was warm, as if blood was flowing. The divine Pattern between Tang San's eyebrows bloomed with light, and a scorching power flowed through his entire body.

A faint golden color began to spread from where he was holding it. Soon, the entire long handle exposed outside the Sea God Platform was dyed golden.

Tang San felt like he was holding a hot iron, and a burst of burning pain came from his palm. But he gritted his teeth and didn't let go. He had a feeling that if he let go at this moment, he would never be qualified to hold it again.

Strands of blood overflowed from his palm, flowing onto the long handle.

Tang San had already released his Martial Soul True Body, and his soul power, which was as high as the Title Douluo level, exploded completely, causing the bones in his body to crack.

Beside him, Ning Rongrong was releasing her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda True Body, doing her best to add all the buffs she could to Tang San.

Tang San injected his mental power into the trident brand on his forehead, and the Sea God Trident on the altar finally showed a slight tremor.

The trident slowly lifted up, and the more it was pulled out, the heavier it seemed.

Tang San saw that the part of the trident that was exposed to the ground had a rhombus-shaped cavity, as if something was missing.

A thought exploded in his mind. He remembered what Gerhman had said to him, "The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud is a key item in the Sea God inheritance"!

The missing part was the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud!

A blue triangle flew out from between Tang San's eyebrows, shot into the Sea God Trident, and embedded itself in that cavity, perfectly filling it.

He suddenly exerted force, and accompanied by a harsh rubbing sound and the bursting out of surging power, Tang San pulled out the entire trident.
