Chapter 27: Refining the Golden Trident, the Sea God Descends

"Sea God inheritance?" Zhexian's voice was calm and indifferent, as if he were speaking of a matter of no importance, "Useless to me."

Before the words had faded, Zhexian's figure vanished from the spot like a phantom, leaving behind only a faint afterimage of flower petals.

Poseixi's pupils constricted, and an ominous premonition instantly rose in her heart. Without hesitation, she raised her hand, condensed a streak of blue Divine Power in her palm, and struck fiercely toward the direction where Zhexian had disappeared.

"Stop him! He must not be allowed to take the Sea God Trident!" A trace of anxiety laced Poseixi's voice.

The seven Sea God Pillar Guardians also reacted instantly, each unleashing their respective soul skills in an attempt to block Zhexian's path.

However, their attacks were as if striking empty air; Zhexian's figure had long since vanished from their range of perception.

"How is this possible?!" one guardian exclaimed, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Poseixi's expression also turned grave.

As the High Priestess of Sea God Island, she could not stand by and watch the Sea God's divine artifact be taken away by someone who disrespected the Sea God.

"Pursue!" Poseixi ordered coldly, then transformed into a streak of blue light, chasing rapidly in the direction Zhexian had disappeared.

However, Zhexian's speed was far beyond what they could reach. Only a moment later, he had already moved far from Sea God Island and arrived at a remote, small island.

This island was not large in area, covered by dense jungle on all sides, with a solitary peak in the center; the summit was wreathed in clouds and mist, as if isolated from the world.

Zhexian stood at the peak of the solitary mountain, the golden trident in his hand still emitting a brilliant golden light. He lowered his head to look at the trident body; the 108,000-jin Sea God Trident contained very little Divine Substance.

"Divine Substance... it can serve as the energy foundation for the Second Immortal Qi Embryo." He whispered to himself, then sat cross-legged, placing the trident horizontally across his knees.

As he closed his eyes, the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual energy began to surge wildly, gathering toward his body.

A True Phoenix cried out.

A True Phoenix Shadow flew out from within Zhexian's body, circled in the air for a moment, then transformed into flame and merged into the Sea God Trident.

Under the roasting of the True Phoenix Flame, the Divine Substance on the Sea God Trident began to gradually peel away, turning into strands of golden light that merged into Zhexian's body.

Time passed second by second, and Zhexian's aura gradually became profound and vast.

Halos wreathed in Immortal Qi began to emerge around his body, as if he had merged into one with heaven and earth.

At the same time, Poseixi and the seven Sea God Pillar Guardians finally arrived at this small island. They felt that powerful aura from afar, and their hearts sank instantly.

That was the aura of the Sea God Trident...

"What is he doing with the Sea God Trident?"

"High Priestess, what should we do?"

Poseixi took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the emotions in her heart.

"Pursue!"

"No matter what," Poseixi's voice carried a trace of determination, "Lord Sea God's artifact must never fall into the hands of another!"

Before the words had faded, Poseixi flew toward the peak of the solitary mountain first. The seven guardians followed closely behind, their eyes filled with determination.

However, just as they were about to approach the solitary peak, an invisible barrier suddenly appeared, blocking them outside.

Poseixi attempted to break through by force, only to find that the barrier was indestructible and could not be shaken in the slightest.

"This is... a Divine Power Barrier?!" A trace of shock flashed in Poseixi's eyes.

"High Priestess, even you cannot break this barrier?"

The remaining Pillar Guardians all revealed expressions of shock.

Poseixi was silent for a moment, then slowly raised her head, gazing toward the peak of the solitary mountain with a firm look.

"Lord Sea God may have already noticed all of this..."

At the same time, at the peak of the solitary mountain.

Zhexian's refining had reached the most critical moment.

The Divine Substance on the golden trident had been almost entirely absorbed by him, and the light of the trident body gradually dimmed.

Within his body, the Second Immortal Qi Embryo was slowly condensing, emitting an incomparably powerful and ancient aura.

The Way of Slaughter—walking the path again according to his past life's Dao left much less room for enlightenment.

"The laws of this world are even weaker than the lower realm where Huang resided..."

Zhexian shook his head slightly, not understanding why he had been reborn in such a place.

"Almost there..." Zhexian whispered softly.

The energy required for the Second Immortal Qi Embryo was about to be fully absorbed.

Next, he only needed to go into seclusion to cultivate.

However, at this very moment, the sky suddenly turned gloomy.

A massive vortex slowly formed in the clouds, and from the center of the vortex, a majestic voice suddenly rang out.

"Presumptuous!"

The vortex in the sky grew increasingly profound, and as the clouds churned, a towering figure gradually appeared.

That was a man clad in blue divine robes, holding a golden trident identical to the one in Zhexian's hand, his body surrounded by endless ocean waves and storms. His gaze was as deep as the abyss, carrying endless majesty and oppression.

"Mortal, you dare to desecrate this god's artifact!" The Sea God's voice was like thunder, shaking the entire small island.

Poseixi and the seven Sea God Pillar Guardians outside the island felt this divine might and immediately knelt on the ground, their eyes filled with awe and piety.

"Lord Sea God!" Poseixi's voice carried incomparable excitement and reverence.

The Sea God's avatar ignored them, instead locking his gaze on Zhexian at the peak of the solitary mountain. He waved his hand, and the invisible barrier instantly shattered, turning into specks of light that dissipated in the air.

"You, how did you pull out this god's golden trident?" The Sea God's voice was cold and majestic, carrying an unquestionable interrogation.

Zhexian slowly opened his eyes, gazing calmly at the Sea God's avatar. His expression remained indifferent, as if the god before him were nothing more than an ordinary person.

"108,000 jin—is it heavy?" Zhexian's voice was understated, as if he were speaking of a trivial matter.

Hearing this, the Sea God's avatar frowned slightly, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes. He had not expected this mortal before him to answer in such a way.

"Arrogant!" The Sea God's avatar snorted coldly, and the golden trident in his hand swung fiercely; a massive ocean wave generated out of thin air, sweeping toward Zhexian.

The ocean wave contained endless Divine Power, as if it could swallow everything.

However, Zhexian merely raised his hand lightly, a wisp of Immortal Qi condensing in his palm, and gave the sea wave a gentle flick.

"Disperse."

Following his low shout, that massive sea wave instantly disintegrated, turning into countless water droplets that scattered onto the ground.

A flash of gravity crossed the eyes of the Sea God's avatar; he could sense that the power this human was using was very strange.

It was neither soul power nor Divine Power.

Could it be from another world?
