Chapter 104 The Evil God, Heart and Lungs
Tang San was still hanging on the Trident of the Sea God when a blue triangular object slowly floated out from between Tang San's eyebrows, spinning around and arriving at the diamond-shaped hole at the head of the Trident of the Sea God, where it slowly merged into it.
The moment the Vast Ocean Universe Cover and the Trident of the Sea God completely merged, Tang San felt himself completely connected with the Trident of the Sea God.
The once pitch-black hall was illuminated by the golden light emanating from the trident of the sea god, and both the ground and the roof were bathed in a layer of golden magical runes at this moment.
The once simple and unadorned hall was now completely bathed in gold, the immense golden light making the entire hall look incredibly luxurious.
An unprecedented sacred aura burst forth from the location of the trident of Poseidon, transforming into a massive pillar of light that shot into the sky and directly towards the top of the palace.
The entire Poseidon Mountain was still trembling.
At the summit of Poseidon Mountain, Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Zhu Zhuqing, and Bai Chenxiang stared wide-eyed at the strange phenomenon on the mountaintop.
The sky was now filled with dark clouds, dimming the light across the entire island of Poseidon. Just then, the Temple of Poseidon suddenly burst forth with a brilliant golden light.
A beam of light pierced the darkness, illuminating Mount Poseidon and the entire island of Poseidon. A massive golden pillar of light shot into the sky, piercing through the dark clouds.
The dark clouds in the sky were illuminated by the golden light and turned into golden clouds. Within these golden clouds, a huge human figure gradually condensed.
This humanoid figure was illusory, clad in golden armor, with long, deep blue hair cascading over its shoulders. The armor covered almost every part of its body. Most importantly, in the hand of this humanoid figure, a golden trident seemed capable of cleaving the heavens and splitting the earth.
To Dai Mu and his companions' astonishment, the Sea God hidden within the golden armor had a face that was so familiar—exactly identical to Tang San's…
Inside the Sea God Temple, Tang San recovered from his shock and said somewhat awkwardly, "Um... Brother, the Sea God Trident has been pulled out."
"Could you put me down first?"
With some effort, Ye Ming laid the trident horizontally in his hand, loosened his grip on the Sea God Trident the moment Tang San stood up straight.
"This artifact is indeed quite powerful!" Ye Ming couldn't help but exclaim.
Poseidon was completely dumbfounded, and even Tang San, who had received the Golden Trident's recognition as his master, was shocked.
They now know the weight of the Poseidon Trident, which weighs 108,000 jin (approximately 54,000 kg) before it was bound to a master!
Ye Ming actually used brute force to pull it up by force...
Tang San swallowed hard, feeling a lack of confidence even as he gripped the golden trident.
Just as he opened his mouth to speak, a dark purple flame suddenly burst forth from Ye Ming's forehead, enveloping his entire body.
With a flash of light, Ye Ming's body vanished instantly.
"What happened?" Tang San gripped the golden trident tightly and asked Poseidon anxiously, "Senior, has something happened to my brother?"
"Rest assured." Poseidon calmed herself down and explained to them, "The deity who chose Ye Ming did not leave his weapon and legacy behind on the Douluo Continent like the Sea God."
"So now, he's been pulled into the assessment space by that deity to undergo his seventh assessment!"
Tang San frowned, his heart filled with worry. "Senior, does this mean that if my brother fails the test, he'll never be able to get out again...?"
"I don't know about God's test either," Poseidon shook her head. "Now, it's up to Ye Ming himself."
……
At this moment, Ye Ming had arrived at a palace that was entirely dark purple.
Above the palace, a young man dressed in black, whose eyes subtly revealed a sinister charm, was observing him with great interest.
On the forehead of this young man was a scale mark identical to that on Ye Ming's forehead.
"This junior has met the evil god."
Ye Ming bowed slightly and greeted the young man.
"Stop with these mundane formalities," the evil god waved his hand. "Since I chose you, it proves that you and I share the same nature."
The young man walked slowly forward, made a grasping motion in the air, and the dark purple artifact, the Scales of Judgment, appeared before the two of them.
The scales of judgment were no more than half a meter in size, half black and half white, with a dark purple gemstone inlaid on the central pillar.
"The Scales of Judgment, a supreme artifact born alongside me in the realm of the gods, wields the power of evil."
The young man looked at the scales of judgment suspended between the two men and slowly said, "Evil is one of the most fundamental forces in a world. Once good and evil are out of balance, the world will inevitably collapse."
"Even among super artifacts, there are differences in quality. And my Scales of Judgment, nurtured by evil power for millions of years, are already close to the pinnacle of super artifacts."
His gaze pierced the scales of judgment and landed on Ye Ming. "Human, not everyone can withstand the power of evil!"
"Are you ready to face evil?"
Ye Ming smiled calmly, "I'm already getting impatient!"
"Hahaha!" The young man laughed loudly, then suddenly plunged his hand into his chest, pulled out a bloody heart, and placed it on the black tray of the scales of judgment.
"To gain the recognition of the scales of judgment is very simple!"
"Take out your own heart and place it on the other side of the scale. If the evil in your heart is even one-third the size of this god's, then you will barely meet the conditions for the artifact to recognize its master!"
"If you can be on par with me, you will be able to control the scales of judgment."
"If your heart is not sufficiently evil, I don't need to say more about your fate!"
Golden blood flowed from the large hole in the young man's chest, yet he calmly looked at Ye Ming opposite him, his face full of curiosity.
Everyone harbors a fear of death and evil thoughts, but that doesn't mean they are fearless of death.
Almost the instant the young man finished speaking, Ye Ming tore open his clothes, revealing a palm-sized crescent blade in his hand.
"laugh!"
He plunged the knife into his chest, then pulled it down forcefully, tearing open a gash the size of a palm.
Dispersing the moon blade, Ye Ming stared intently at the evil look opposite him. Suddenly, he reached into his own chest, grabbed his still-beating, warm heart, and yanked it out.
Blood gushed out, and Ye Ming's face instantly turned pale, his vision blurring.
Death was so close to him at that moment.
Even so, Ye Ming gritted his teeth and placed the still-beating heart on the white tray of the scales of judgment.
The moment the heart was placed on the scales, the entire scales of judgment began to sway from side to side, as if weighing the two hearts to determine which one was more evil.
Upon seeing this, the young man raised an eyebrow, pointed his finger, and a dark purple light enveloped Ye Ming.
"Watch closely, I don't want to enjoy this funny scene all by myself."
A dark purple light enveloped Ye Ming's chest, and he found that his weak body was instantly filled with evil power, temporarily stabilizing him.
Even with the wound still in his chest, he felt that death had already left him.
Before he could marvel at its wonder, Ye Ming turned his attention to the scales of judgment.
At this moment, the two-colored tray swayed from side to side. Soon, the black side, the one containing the heart of the evil god, began to fall, finally stopping at two-thirds of its length.
Seeing this, the God of Evil nodded slightly, "Indeed, humans are just humans after all. Even if they have evil in their hearts, that's all they are."
Ye Ming smiled slightly, "Senior, it hasn't stopped yet!"
The young man's pupils contracted as he saw the tray, which had been in a stalemate, suddenly change.
The white tray suddenly plummeted to the bottom and remained motionless thereafter.
The sight of the black tray suspended high caused the young man's dark purple pupils to suddenly contract.
"Ultimate evil? That's impossible! How could it exist in a human like you?"
"Just now, the evil in your heart had only reached about one-third of its full potential."
The young man shook his head, and said to Ye Ming with some admiration, "You kid, you're simply a born evil spirit, a born villain!"
"A born villain?" Ye Ming smiled slightly. "I don't think so."
"I think I'm very kind."
The moment he finished speaking, the scales of judgment shifted once more. The black tray plummeted to the bottom again, while the white tray on the other side remained suspended high, completely still.
This scene is as if the situation has been reversed!
"This isn't right!"
The god of evil was somewhat stunned. "You brat, how come you possess such an extremely kind heart?"
"Are you good or evil?!"
"Hahaha!" Ye Ming laughed loudly, "Does good and evil need to be judged by others?"
"I don't like arguing with people because everyone thinks they're right. So even if someone is a saint, there will always be people who criticize them."
"But in my conclusion, whether I become a heinous villain or a perfectly virtuous person, it's all up to me! Only I can define my own good and evil!"
"So what if I'm evil or good?"
After Ye Ming finished speaking, the heart that belonged to him on the scales of judgment floated up and then shot into his chest.
Strangely, the wound he had been slashed by the moon blade healed itself in an instant.
At that moment, the heart of the evil god suddenly flew up from the black tray and merged into his chest.
The next moment, the black and white scales of judgment transformed into a stream of light, flowing along the mark on Ye Ming's forehead and into his mind.
The ultimate artifact, the scales of judgment, has been recognized as the master!
The evil god clapped his hands and laughed, "Interesting, interesting, truly wonderful!"
"Human, I'm already looking forward to the day you truly inherit the throne of evil!"
