"Fellow Daoist, look—"
Shen Gongbao raised a hand and pointed.
Before he could finish speaking, a dazzling spiritual radiance suddenly burst forth from the pitch-black seabed!
Below them lay a bottomless trench.
At its floor rested a precious pearl.
It glimmered softly.
Its light illuminated the entire dark sea.
The instant the spiritual radiance flashed,
fish monsters and sea demons from all directions swarmed over as though they had caught the scent of blood.
Even Poseidon could clearly feel it.
The spiritual energy around him suddenly grew denser.
Even his cultivation faintly increased by a notch.
"A treasure... truly an extraordinary treasure!"
Poseidon's eyes gleamed, and the Trident in his hand trembled faintly with excitement.
"This is clearly the will of heaven, a great gift prepared especially for me!"
Within the God Realm,
the gods clicked their tongues in amazement, filled with envy.
"The Sea God truly has great luck. He stumbled upon such an opportunity the moment he arrived!"
"This is an auspicious sign that destiny belongs to our God Realm!"
However, the Destruction God King was somewhat displeased that the Sea God had neglected his business and gone treasure-hunting instead. He snorted softly.
"So far from the emperor's reach, does the Sea God intend to monopolize the Four Seas and establish his own domain?"
"Ah, Destruction, that is not quite right,"
the Asura God spoke in defense.
"A treasure delivered right to one's door is free for the taking. It is a simple matter and will not delay the larger plan!"
"Exactly."
The Evil God King smiled as well.
"It would not do to make someone come all this way for nothing. As for that Shen Gongbao, he offered a treasure to our God Realm the moment he arrived. He is also the first Prehistoric World native to submit to us... he should be rewarded!"
"Once our God Realm rules over the Prehistoric World, we shall grant him a third-rank divine position!"
"Excellent! This is a fine example of buying a horse for a fortune just to obtain its bones. Your Majesty is wise!"
The gods all applauded and praised him.
It was as though they had already seen the day when the God Realm replaced the Heavenly Court and ruled over the Prehistoric World.
Sea God Island.
Bo Saixi had originally been unsettled because
the Sea God's name had appeared in the Soul-Snatching Register.
But now, seeing with her own eyes that the Sea God was not only completely unharmed,
but was also about to obtain a supreme treasure,
the weight in her heart finally lifted, and an incomparably confident, proud glow bloomed across her face once more!
"The Sea God is one of the God Realm's strongest experts. Upon entering the Prehistoric World, even heaven and earth themselves offered up a supreme treasure in celebration. Yet those two little brats from Spirit Hall still think they can snatch Lord Sea God's soul?"
"They truly overestimate themselves!"
Bo Saixi's voice echoed over Sea God Island.
"To follow the Sea God is the greatest glory for all of us! The Sea God's glory is with us!"
Bo Saixi's words steadied countless Sea Soul Masters.
Even the Demon Whale King, who had been lurking in the deep sea beyond the island and itching to make a move,
temporarily suppressed his restlessness.
He sank back into the sea abyss.
"Hey—Fellow Daoist, do not be hasty!"
Shen Gongbao anxiously stomped his feet beside him.
"It is said that this Dragon Pearl is a supreme treasure of the Dragon Clan. After the Ancestral Dragon fell, it was used to guard the Sea Eye. Though it carries a great opportunity, it also carries great danger!"
"Danger?"
Poseidon gave a disdainful laugh.
"I am the mighty Sea God, master of the authority of the oceans. What danger could possibly threaten me?"
He swung the Golden Trident in his hand.
The sea split apart with a thunderous roar.
A deep passage extended straight toward the Dragon Pearl on the seabed!
Yet in the next instant—
"Rumble!!!"
The seabed passage, which had only just been carved out for a dozen or so yards, suddenly collapsed, and seawater exploded skyward!
A crimson figure stood upon the waves.
It had the head of a shrimp and the body of a man, gripping a Steel Fork as it glared furiously at them.
"See? See? You would not listen!"
"Now you have alerted the Dragon Palace's Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals!"
Shen Gongbao recognized the insignia on the Steel Fork and stomped his feet in frustration.
"Fellow Daoist, let us retreat at once!"
"Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals?"
Rather than becoming angry, Poseidon laughed. His Trident tilted forward.
"A bunch of clowns dare flaunt their might before me, the Sea God?"
His blue hair flew in the wind, and divine might surged around him. He had clearly already regarded the East Sea as his own backyard.
"Those who stand in my way of claiming this treasure—die!"
Poseidon swung the Golden Trident.
Golden light surged like a tide toward the crimson Shrimp Soldier before him. It was his proud ultimate technique, Indefinite Wind and Waves.
Even God Kings found it difficult to completely resist this move.
In his eyes,
this tiny Shrimp Soldier would surely be immobilized until death.
Then, not only could he calmly take the treasure, but he could also put on a fine display of divine might before the Sky Screen,
harvesting countless believers!
But in the next moment,
the expression on his face suddenly froze!
Not only had the Shrimp Soldier not been immobilized,
it instead seemed thoroughly enraged, its entire shrimp face flushing an even deeper red!
"Fine! You two rats spied on my wife while she was spitting out pearls, and now you dare humiliate me like this?!"
In the Shrimp Soldier's eyes,
that golden light held no destructive power at all, yet it was brimming with insult!
It was practically like being spat on right in the face!
The damage was minimal, but the humiliation was immense!
He was a proper Shrimp Soldier of the Dragon Palace. How could he endure such treatment?
"Take my fork!"
The Shrimp Soldier swung his Steel Fork and thrust it straight at Poseidon's chest!
