Chapter 829: Chapter 826: Humiliating the Sea God, Recognition of the Sea God’s Trident_1
"Xu Ran," the Sea God said with a calm demeanor that lacked the expected fury, "it is rumored that you are a notorious womanizer, and many beauties on the Continent have suffered because of you. It seems you truly are formidable. It hasn't been long, and yet my High Priest has already been taken by you."
However, the calmer he was, the more it felt like a volcano was about to erupt.
The murderous intent in the Sea God's eyes was unmistakable.
Descending to the mortal world required tedious procedures, and he'd been delayed so long he'd let Xu Ran bewitch Poseissi with his honeyed words.
"It's not that I am strong, but that you are too weak. Even with two people together, you're still nothing but a motley crowd," Xu Ran said scornfully.
"Hmph. Even at a time like this, you still boast with your slick tongue. If you hand over the Heart of the Sea God to me, perhaps I may leave you a whole corpse," the Sea God said, the Sea God's Trident appearing in his hand.
The Sea God's Trident was pitch-black, with the two side prongs being relatively thin. At two feet long and half a foot wide, the central main prong was exceptionally broad, almost resembling a sword.
The Sea God's Trident was a powerful Divine Artifact, but without the Heart of the Sea God, it lacked any divine radiance.
Without the Heart of the Sea God, the Sea God's Trident couldn't exert much Divine Power.
Therefore, Xu Ran didn't take the Sea God seriously.
As for the Heart of the Sea God.
Only a fool would return it to the Sea God.
"Returning the Heart of the Sea God to you is not out of the question, but I have a condition," Xu Ran suddenly said leisurely, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth. The Sea God, how similar he is to fools like Dai Mubai.
It's a good thing the rules in the Divine Realm are strict; those goddesses are too arrogant to spare the Sea God, this useless figure, a second glance.
If it were on the Continent, this worthless Sea God would probably be even more disgusting than Dai Mubai.
"What's your condition?" both Tang San and the Sea God asked with shining eyes, failing to see the mocking smile on Xu Ran's face, thinking that Xu Ran was scared, and they were overjoyed.
In the presence of two First-Level Gods like them, Xu Ran was nothing.
At most, Xu Ran's strength was just a bit above that of an ordinary First-Level God.
"Xu Ran, the wise know when to submit. If you return the Heart of the Sea God to me, I might consider stripping you of your 'Cultivation Level,' allowing you to keep your life," the Sea God said with a sneering laugh.
Inside, he thought of sparing Xu Ran's life so he could humiliate him.
He'd heard that each of Xu Ran's women was stunningly beautiful, enough to topple kingdoms and cities.
As the Sea God, he was not supposed to lay hands on the mortal women below. As for Poseissi, she was from Sea God's Island, his territory, so he had been able to harbor indecent intentions toward her.
But with others on the Continent, according to the rules, he was not allowed to interfere.
However, Xu Ran had now provided him with an opportunity.
Xu Ran had slain the Rakshasa God and stolen his Heart of the Sea God, repeatedly defying the Divine Realm. By challenging the Divine Realm, his women, being his closest companions, naturally deserved punishment as well.
Afterward, he would violate Xu Ran's women and cleanly eradicate them all, leaving no trace behind.
Even if discovered, violating a criminal's woman would not be considered a serious offense.
Sea God pondered these thoughts, his mood surging with excitement.
Ever since he went to the Divine Realm, he'd always dealt with his needs alone, with the goddesses looking down on him, rejecting his pursuit. After killing Xu Ran, he was going to thoroughly indulge himself.
All expressions of the Sea God were laid bare to Xu Ran, who in his heart, sentenced the Sea God to death.
The Sea God was much more repulsive than Tang San, and such a man must not be spared.
"Xu Ran, what is your demand? I will certainly fulfill it," the Sea God said impatiently. As long as he reclaimed the Heart of the Sea God, his Sea God's Trident would become functional.
Once at full strength, he could join forces with Tang San to eliminate Xu Ran.
Thus, killing Xu Ran would be effortless.
"You'll agree to any demand?"
Xu Ran said with a playful tone.
"Of course. All I want now is the Heart of the Sea God," the Sea God nodded.
"Then I want you to kneel before me and kowtow three times, and then call me 'grandpa' a few times. If you can do that, I'll return the Heart of the Sea God to you," Xu Ran said with a smile.
"Pfft."
Upon hearing Xu Ran's shameless demand, Poseissi laughed out loud, her voluptuous body shaking, her eyes fixed on Xu Ran with amusement quivering through her.
She had just thought Xu Ran was really going to return the Heart of the Sea God to the Sea God, and was about to remind him, when she heard Xu Ran's words.
He was clearly mocking the Sea God.
A First-Level God being played by Xu Ran like this. It seemed that only someone like Xu Ran could do such a thing!
Adoration filled Poseissi's eyes.
Often, those prim and proper girls liked those who trampled on the rules even more.
Having seen the true colors of the Sea God, Poseissi's hatred and resentment towards the Sea God reached their peak, and seeing the Sea God being mocked by Xu Ran gave her a feeling of sweet revenge.
If she had known what kind of person the Sea God was back then, she would have rather died than accept anything he bestowed upon her.
It would have made her feel disgusted.
A pet slave? That wasn't even worthy of being called a person, the Sea God truly made her want to vomit.
"Xu Ran, are you playing with me?"
The Sea God was furious, his eyes widening, staring daggers at Xu Ran, as if his eyes were shooting fire.
With two First-Level Gods here, Xu Ran still dared to insult him?
Was Xu Ran not afraid of dying?
"Even if I beg you to spare me now, you would still kill me. So what do I have to fear? Besides, between you two wastes of space and me, it's still uncertain who will be the deer that falls!" Xu Ran said disdainfully.
He directly unleashed his Martial Soul, with nine red soul rings flashing around him, nine kinds of terrifying and pure powers swirling around his body, while an earth-shaking Sword Intent soared into the sky.
Slaughter, Destruction, Evil...
All these powerful thoughts seemed as if they could tear everything apart.
Xu Ran held the Godslayer Sword, his gaze silent as he looked at the Sea God and Tang San.
In his left hand, the Heart of the Sea God radiated with a blue glow.
Under the interference of the Heart of the Sea God, the Sea God's Trident in the Sea God's hands trembled continuously, as if responding to the Heart of the Sea God in Xu Ran's hand.
Watching this scene, the Sea God felt as miserable as if he had eaten shit.
The Sea God's Trident was his Divine Artifact, but now without the Heart of the Sea God, he couldn't control the Sea God's Trident at all. The Sea God felt the trident in his hand growing heavier and heavier.
A feeling of oppression surged over him.
The Sea God's Trident weighed a hundred and eight thousand catties. But in the hands of the Sea God, it weighed only a hundred and eight catties.
Otherwise, even if a god could lift a weapon weighing more than a hundred thousand catties, wielding it would be extremely clumsy.
At this moment, as the Sea God's Trident grew heavier in his hands, it indicated that the trident's recognition of him was rapidly diminishing. The trident wouldn't grow heavier unless it did not acknowledge him as its master.
With the Heart of the Sea God in Xu Ran's hand, recognized by the Heart, in the subconscious of the Sea God's Trident, Xu Ran was its master.
The brain of the Sea God's Trident was the Heart of the Sea God, and the Heart, which honored Xu Ran, made it obvious that, in the hands of the Sea God, it wouldn't be surprising if the Trident turned against him.
