Chapter 1278: No Mercy

The Trident was an eternal legend. Sea G.o.ds relied on this weapon to contend against Immortal Emperors. It was the reason why the two ent.i.ties were considered even.

The Trident was something unique to the sea demons. Its power even exceeded that of Immortal Emperor True Treasures.

Even though the one ahead was only an imitation, the force exuding from it still deterred the sovereign’s very soul. It was something that belonged only to the real Trident.

This imitation was no match for the real thing, but it still emitted a force capable of causing any sea demon to tremble.

“This can’t be real…” The pale sovereign couldn’t believe his own eyes. Why did a human succeed in creating a copy of the Trident even though so many sea demons had failed? This was completely inconceivable to him.

He quickly gathered his wits and s.h.i.+fted his body in order to cross through the void to escape. He had no desire to fight against this trident.

“Buzz!” The great formation under the lake lit up. An infinite amount of power burst out like a volcanic eruption. In a short period of time, it pushed the trident flying as if a gigantic hand had just thrown it.

“Boom!” The void collapsed and a black hole emerged. Even though the sovereign had fled quite far, the Trident caught up to him in an instant.

“Activate!” The sovereign was frightened by this pursuit, but he had no way out. He shouted and summoned his most powerful weapon while channeling his strongest defensive technique in order to stop the trident.

“Bang!” The Trident penetrated his weapon and barrier then continued to fly towards him with an unstoppable momentum.

“No!” His mournful cry echoed across the ocean. Drops of blood fell into the sea and dyed it red.

The sovereign was crucified to death just like that. His eyes were still wide open in disbelief. This was not the result he envisioned at all, thus he died with many regrets.

The entire world turned gloomy. All the sea demons who saw this were aghast as a cold tingle went down their spines.

The older sea demons questioned in a daze: “How can this be?”

The Trident had ended the sovereign’s future once by abandoning him, and ultimately, an imitation ended his life. It seemed that this was all part of karma. The sovereign couldn’t escape his connection to the weapon. He owed it both glory and death. It was as if the heavens was playing a cruel joke on him.

“That’s the hidden power of Dongting Lake.” The lake was now viewed as an object of fear. Everyone understood that the lake had an imitation trident on top of the spectral army.

A charming spirit ancestor solemnly spoke: “So many years have pa.s.sed, but the lake is still like before with its invincible power.”

After seeing its power today, who would dare to have any ideas about it in the future?

Even the disciples from the lake were slack-jawed. They had never imagined that things would play out this way. Hong Tianzhu, the other elders and the protectors were astonished as well. They never knew that the invincible ancestors had always been protecting them.

Just recalling how they had abandoned everything from their ancestors for their own benefits left them ashamed. How could they stand and face their ancestors later on?

For many, many years, the lake had never wors.h.i.+ped the ancestors with ceremonies. They had all but forgotten about the traditions, yet the ancestors still continued to protect their unfilial children and the lake. Their hearts were full of shame and regret.

Meanwhile, the crowd was still deterred while watching the four cavalries in the sky. This spectral army could truly sweep through all enemies.

Li Qiye’s cold voice resounded: “Don’t think about leaving when you’re already here.” It was chilling to the bones.

Feiyan woke up from her stupor and sorrow. She wanted to escape as fast as possible. In her mind, as long as the verdant hills remained, there would be no fear of running out of firewood.
