Chapter 142: The Final Trial

"Your eighth trial is to retrieve the Seagod's Heart. Only when you obtain it and gain its recognition will the trial be considered complete. If the Seagod's Heart does not recognize you, then you will fail this trial." Bo Saixi explained.

Neptune nodded but didn't pay much attention to her words. After all, the Seagod's divine consciousness on Seagod Island had already approved him could the consciousness within the Seagod's Heart possibly reject him? That would be ridiculous.

Seeing his dismissive attitude, Bo Saixi felt the need to warn him. The first seven trials had been too easy for him, and he might be underestimating the true difficulty of a god's inheritance.

Moreover, the ninth and final trial was bound to be far more challenging the Seagod wouldn't just let him pass so easily. If Neptune remained careless, he would likely face a major crisis in the last trial. Bo Saixi decided it was best to prepare him now.

"Do you know what your ninth trial is?" she suddenly asked.

"I don't," Neptune replied, sensing only a faint, hazy light screen in his mind. He shook his head.

"I will tell you now the final trial is to kill the Deep Sea Demon Whale King!" Bo Saixi revealed directly.

"The Deep Sea Demon Whale King? You mean the one that stands alongside Xiao bai and the Demonic Tiger Whale King as one of the three overlords of the sea?" Neptune asked, seemingly surprised. "My final trial is to hunt it down? That's… actually pretty simple."

"Simple?"

Bo Saixi smirked coldly. "You underestimate it. The so called three overlords of the sea is just a false claim made by ignorant land dwelling soul masters. If we compare raw strength frankly speaking Xiao bai and the Demonic Tiger Whale King don't even come close to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King."

"It's that powerful?" Neptune feigned shock, though in reality, he already knew all of this.

Bo Saixi nodded gravely. "The Deep Sea Demon Whale King is likely the strongest soul beast in the world, whether on land or in the sea. Even I am not confident I could defeat it. That creature is nearly a million year soul beast."

Since Bo Saixi was unaware of the Star Dou Forest's hidden beasts, she truly believed that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was the strongest soul beast in existence.

"A million year soul beast?!" Neptune's eyes widened in feigned shock. "Are you saying that thing has been cultivating for nearly a million years?"

Bo Saixi shook her head. "Not exactly. According to the records of Seagod Island, it has cultivated for over three hundred thousand years. However, through devouring other oceanic soul beasts and utilizing its special abilities, it has successfully survived eight tribulations, making it comparable to a million year soul beast. Apart from fearing Seagod himself, it is the true ruler of the ocean!"

"Let me tell you in advance your ninth trial is divided into two parts. One of them is to kill the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. Only after defeating it will you gain the right to return to the Seagod Hall and complete your inheritance!"

Hearing her words, Neptune put on an expression of shock and concern. But internally, he was unfazed due to the rules of the God Realm, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King could never become a god.

Moreover, Bo Saixi's fears were unnecessary the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was nothing more than a gift left behind by the Seagod for his inheritor.

Still, he didn't reveal his thoughts, as it would break character. Based on his role, he shouldn't know too much so he could only continue pretending to be a clueless rookie.

"Defeating a soul beast close to godhood… That won't be easy. Especially since it has the home field advantage in the sea…" Neptune rubbed his temples, appearing concerned.

Seeing his expression, Bo Saixi smiled faintly. "Even if it has the home field advantage, do you really think your power is inferior to its? Besides…" She pointed at the black, ominous Seagod's Trident in Neptune's hand.

Neptune immediately nodded. "True. With a divine weapon in hand, if I still can't win, I might as well crash my head into a wall and die."

"By the way, High Priest," Neptune suddenly remembered something, "after completing the Seventh Trial, I received a prompt that I had gained the Seagod's Trident's recognition and the right to wield it. What abilities does it have?"

Bo Saixi shook her head. "That is something I cannot tell you. The Seagod's Trident is Seagod's weapon how could I possibly know all its secrets? You will have to discover its true power yourself. However, I can share what little I do know. Listen carefully."

Neptune nodded seriously, playing the role of a dedicated student which pleased Bo Saixi greatly.

Before this moment, despite being much older than Neptune, she had often felt like she had nothing to teach him. At times, it even seemed like he knew more than she did, which left her feeling a bit useless.

After all, guiding the next Seagod was an important role but when the so called inheritor barely needed her help, it was somewhat disappointing.

Now that Neptune finally needed instruction, Bo Saixi at last felt like a true mentor.

"First," Bo Saixi explained, "the Seagod's Trident can only be wielded by you. It cannot be stored in a soul tool, and if you try, the storage tool will be destroyed.

"Second, you must pay attention to its weight. While you are holding it, the Seagod's Trident weighs 108 jin. However…" She paused before continuing, "the moment it leaves your hands, its weight is no longer just 108 jin. Instead, it becomes…"

She deliberately drew out the suspense before solemnly stating, "108,000 jin!"

"What?!"

Neptune gasped in fake shock, exclaiming, "108,000 jin?!"

Bo Saixi nodded. "Yes. 108,000 jin. I do not know what kind of material it was forged from, but I can assure you unless it recognizes someone, even a god would struggle to wield it.

"So be careful when carrying it. If you put it down on anything that cannot support its weight, it will crush everything beneath it. Your safest option is to never let it leave your hands that way, it will remain at 108 jin instead of its terrifying true weight."

"Then… does that mean when I attack with it, it still carries the 108,000 jin impact?" Neptune asked.

Bo Saixi smiled. "That is the power of a divine weapon. I once had a friend who was an Ultimate Douluo, and he trained his weapon based martial soul to its absolute limit. Yet even his strongest weapon only weighed 18,000 jin.

"But the Seagod's Trident far surpasses that. Even the Angelic God's Holy Sword, wielded by the Angelic Deity of the Douluo Continent, only weighs 36,000 jin."

After hearing her explanation, Neptune carefully examined the Seagod's Trident in his hands.

To be honest, if weight alone determined power, then in the story of Journey to the West, Sun Wukong's Golden Cudgel was only 13,500 jin.

Weight wasn't everything what truly mattered was the energy infused within the weapon.

But in this world, where brute force was king, a 108,000 jin divine weapon was an absolute trump card against any non god opponent.
