Douluo: I, a Dao Venerable of the Prehistoric World, Was Livestreamed on the Sky Screen

Inside a crystal-clear, jade-like clam shell lay five treasure pearls, their spiritual light swirling.

"Hahahaha... I suppose this means my hardships have finally paid off!"

Poseidon was overjoyed.

With the help of these pearls, breaking through to the God King Realm would be effortless!

However!

BOOM!!!

A beam of white light suddenly exploded, blasting Poseidon away and smashing him heavily into the cave wall.

He looked up in alarm.

There, a woman in white stood suspended in the air, her robes fluttering. Her features were gentle as jade, but her eyes gleamed with icy light.

It was not that Shrimp Soldier!

Poseidon felt a surge of relief.

He immediately put on the airs of the Sea God again and shouted sternly:

"Who are you?"

"You little thief who stole my Clam Pearls... you actually dared to come back?!"

The woman's gaze fell upon his waist. She could sense the aura of the Clam Pearls.

"Since you're in the same group... I'll settle both old and new scores with you today!"

Whenever the Clam Pearl Spirit spat out a pearl, she would fall into a brief period of weakness.

That was precisely why Shen Gongbao had found an opening earlier.

Now, she had recovered seventy or eighty percent of her strength.

Her killing intent was at its peak!

"I do not kill women, but since you insist on standing in my way, don't blame me for starting a massacre!"

Poseidon saw how delicate and dainty she looked. Even when angry, she merely looked adorably puffed up.

His confidence immediately swelled!

"You should know that even though I have yet to recover from my injuries, I am still not someone a mere woman like you can withstand!"

The Clam Spirit's chest heaved violently with rage.

She had never seen someone so shameless.

Since words were useless,

they would settle this with their hands!

The Clam Spirit raised her slender hand, and a ribbon of white light shot forth like a sword, stabbing straight at Poseidon's face.

"You don't know what's good for you!"

Poseidon swung his trident to block it.

Yet it felt as though he had struck cotton.

The white ribbon coiled and twisted with the motion, directly knocking the Golden Trident from his hand!

"Daoist friend—save me!!!"

Poseidon's expression changed drastically. He turned toward the direction Shen Gongbao had left and screamed, then spun around and fled.

His heart was already in turmoil.

What was wrong with this place?!

Why was everyone stronger than him?

Could this woman... also be some hidden powerhouse?

"Little thief, don't run!"

As the two chased one another, a faint spatial ripple emerged from the dark ocean floor.

Shen Gongbao pulled his old trick again... and ran off with the treasure yet again!

"Hehe, who knew some country bumpkin from who-knows-where would be so easy to fool!"

"This is also my good fortune!"

On a certain island,

Shen Gongbao looked at the five Clam Pearls in his storage pouch, ecstatic beyond measure.

"After deducting the cost of three Teleportation Talismans, I still made three for free... worth it!"

He had originally intended to whip Poseidon to death, but he sensed the Shrimp Soldier chasing after him!

So he came up with a plan and made use of that trash!

"It's rare for such a coincidence to happen... that fool can count as half a lucky star for me. I just hope... he's alright!"

Shen Gongbao muttered a few words before turning and flying toward the nearest trading market.

But he had a feeling that this time, Poseidon was doomed!

As he left,

he had already sensed the Shrimp Soldier's fury reaching its absolute limit!

And that was indeed the case.

Just as Poseidon was about to burst out of the sea floor!

A massive Steel Fork descended from the sky!

Like a candied hawthorn skewer, it pierced through the crown of his head and emerged from his backside!

Poseidon did not even manage a groan. Carrying his grand ambitions with him,

he closed his eyes in unwillingness!

"Hmph, provoking me again and again... do you really think I'm a vegetarian?"

The Red-faced Shrimp Soldier snorted coldly.

"Darling... the remaining Clam Pearls in the cave residence... have all been stolen!"

The Clam Spirit caught up, whimpering tearfully.

"What—?!!"

The Shrimp Soldier trembled all over, his entire face turning purple with rage.

"Seeking death! They're truly seeking death—!!"

Just then,

a gust of sinister wind swept across the sea's surface as Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo arrived late.

At a glance, the two saw the "human skewer" impaled upon the Steel Fork.

Before they could act, however, the Shrimp Soldier had already raised a pair of enormous claws.

"Stop..."

Chrysanthemum Douluo cried out in alarm.

But it was already too late.

The next moment, Poseidon was snipped into pieces!

"You two are...?"

Only then did the Shrimp Soldier notice them. Sensing their strange auras, he could not help but freeze.

"We are Black and White Impermanence of the Netherworld Court's Underworld Bureau."

Chrysanthemum Douluo sighed helplessly.

"We came specifically to seize his soul... but, Daoist friend, this... you've beaten him until his soul has scattered. What are we supposed to seize now?"

Though the Shrimp Soldier had heard rumors of the Netherworld Court reaping souls,

Yin Messengers were few in number.

Most dead souls drifted to the Ghost Gate on their own, so he had never actually seen a Yin Messenger before.

However, the Underworld Official Robes on the two of them

could not be faked.

"That little thief was outrageously bold, stealing my family's treasure pearls. He truly deserved death... I never expected to delay the two of you in carrying out your official duties. My sincerest apologies!"

The Shrimp Soldier hurriedly explained.

He was merely a Shrimp Soldier of the Dragon Palace. He did not dare offend people from the Netherworld Court.
