Traversing countless worlds from the primordial era

Chapter 85 Sea Clan Divine Artifacts

Ku Yuan told Lei Ming about the situation in the nearby seas. There were quite a few sea creatures in the area they were approaching, but none of them were powerful. The strongest sea creature was the Sea Shark Clan, who were also the overlords of this sea. The Sea Shark Clan had a Golden Immortal in charge, and all the sea creatures in the vicinity had to pay tribute to them, while they had to pay tribute to the Dragon Clan of the deep sea.

"The Beaver Clan only has a few True Immortals, yet they dare to bully my human race?" Lei Ming laughed angrily. He noticed that the human race was always being bullied, but previously it was the demon race and the witch race that bullied them. The demon and witch races were the overlords of the primordial world, so it was normal for them to look down on the human race. But how could a small Beaver Clan dare to force a sale against the human race? Who gave them the courage?

"This deal is off," Lei Ming said decisively. "Make immediate preparations to settle the people in their new homes."

Ku Yuan was still somewhat worried: "If we offend the beaver clan, this sea area will never be peaceful again."

"Don't worry, if they dare to come, I'll make them pay for offending the human race," Lei Ming said.

With the assistance of the Rainbow City humans, the ancestral land humans were quickly settled. Ku Yuan and his group were very well prepared, and the three ancestors were very satisfied.

Lei Ming proposed placing the Inheritance Hall in Rainbow City, and the Three Ancestors, considering the contributions of Ku Yuan and others, agreed. A few days later, Lei Ming retrieved the Inheritance Hall from the Five Elements Space and placed it in the very center of Rainbow City. At the same time, Lei Ming standardized the contribution system for the human race, and that very day, many people went to the Inheritance Hall to exchange for True Immortal cultivation techniques.

"If our human race wants to become strong, we must solve the problem of cultivation techniques." Seeing this, Suiren felt somewhat ashamed. "The Golden Immortal-level cultivation technique I've deduced has too high a requirement for aptitude and also requires the assistance of the Fire Star, meaning I can only cultivate it myself. Such a technique is of no benefit to the human race. I plan to go into seclusion and reorganize the cultivation techniques, hoping to deduce a Golden Immortal-level technique that ordinary members of our race can also cultivate!"

Upon hearing this, the Youchao and Ziyi clans nodded in unison: "That's right. Now we can leave the human race to Lei Ming, and the three of us will focus on refining the cultivation technique!"

Lei Ming agreed with the Third Ancestor's decision. Although he had the help of luck, it would be difficult for Lei Ming to reach the Golden Immortal level in a short time. The cultivation speed of the "Five Emperors' Divine Demon Scripture" was too slow, somewhat similar to the legendary Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, requiring a large accumulation of spiritual energy. Without reaching the Golden Immortal level, Lei Ming would not be able to deduce Golden Immortal-level cultivation techniques.

After the Third Ancestor went into seclusion, Lei Ming continued to advance the evolution of human civilization. He established cultivation universities in every major city, and after things settled down, the human race experienced an unprecedented surge of enthusiasm for cultivation.

Just as the human race was rejoicing, a giant wave hundreds of meters high rose up in the East China Sea. On the wave, Li Yue led tens of thousands of beaver warriors toward the coast.

As Li Yue and his group approached the sea, they saw human activity in the large city where he had traded with Ku Yuan. Upon closer inspection, Li Yue discovered that the city had been named Yang City. Humans were bustling about at the city gates.

Li Yue was furious; he felt he had been deceived by Ku Yuan.

"My lads, follow me ashore and drive away these humans," Li Yue said.

The waves rose again, reaching a thousand meters high, crashing towards Yangcheng. The human guards, noticing the strange phenomenon in the sea, immediately notified Leiming in the city.

"They've finally arrived." Lei Ming's figure flashed and he appeared outside the East Gate. He saw the waves connecting heaven and earth, rolling in, and on the waves were various forms of sea creatures, which looked ferocious and terrifying.

"Activate the formation," Lei Ming commanded. In an instant, several beams of light rose from around Yang City, eventually converging above it to form a protective shield that enveloped the vast city. The waves crashing against the shield were blocked, as if striking reefs.

Li Yue stood at the top, holding a jade-green spear. With a flick of his spear, a water dragon grabbed the light shield, causing it to shake.

"You think such a formation can stop me?" Li Yue sneered, increasing his power. The other sea creatures also took out their weapons and attacked the formation together.

Humans lacked master formation experts, and their Five Elements Formation was of limited power. Under the attack of the Beaver Clan, the formation quickly broke. Immediately afterward, towering waves surged towards Yang City, threatening to submerge it.

"Certainly!"

Lei Ming appeared before the giant wave, and with a wave of his hand, the surging wave immediately stopped.

"Go back!" At Lei Ming's command, the seawater seemed like obedient soldiers, and quickly retreated.

Li Yue was greatly alarmed. Sea creatures were born with the ability to control water, which was why they could create towering waves. He hadn't expected that there would be a powerful water-controlling individual among the human race, and that this person seemed to be even stronger than him.

"I am the eldest prince of the Beaver Clan. Who are you?" Li Yue assessed the situation and ordered his men to stop.

Lei Ming approached Li Yue: "I am Lei Ming of the human race. Why do you beavers, who don't stay in the sea, come to invade my human Yangcheng?"

Li Yue asked suspiciously, "You are truly human, so why have I never seen you before?"

"My human race numbers in the billions, most of whom are scattered throughout the primordial continent. How many of them have you, a beaver, ever seen?" Lei Ming laughed.

Upon hearing this, Li Yue became even more puzzled. As far as he knew, there were only a little over two hundred million humans, and the strongest among them was no more than a Celestial Immortal. Now, not only had a True Immortal appeared, but trillions of humans had also emerged...

"Could it be that the human race is truly a great race from the primordial era?" Li Yue couldn't help but feel uneasy, but he wasn't going to be intimidated by Lei Ming's few words.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Lei, a pleasure to meet you." Li Yue became much more polite. "I came here today to ask you humans: a month ago, your Rainbow City Lord, Ku Yuan, agreed to trade this city with me, but now it has been occupied. Does the human race intend to renege on its promise?"

"Trading Yangcheng? That's impossible. You must be mistaken. This city is used to settle the people of the prehistoric inland areas. How could it possibly be traded?" Lei Ming shook his head.

Li Yue said urgently, "How could I be wrong? I negotiated with Ku Yuan to exchange this great city for this Sea Enchantress Blue Crystal. If you don't believe me, you can bring Ku Yuan here for a confrontation!"

"Fellow Daoist Li, are you perhaps trying to deceive my human race?" Lei Ming's face darkened. "This Sea Enchantress Blue Crystal, while valuable, is still far less than a large city! Besides, you said you would exchange the Sea Enchantress Blue Crystal for a city, so why is it still in your possession?"

Li Yue was speechless. If he were sincere about the transaction, he would have handed over the Sea Enchantress Blue Crystal to Ku Yuan in the first place. But in reality, Li Yue still harbored the idea of ​​getting something for nothing.

"I've already discussed this with Ku Yuan, you'll know once you bring him here!" Li Yue avoided Lei Ming's question.

"Ku Yuan has already gone into seclusion. What you've said is only your side of the story. If there's nothing else, please leave," Lei Ming said.

Li Yue began to realize that he seemed to have been tricked by Lei Ming.

"You human, you broke your promise first and then turned around and slandered me. Today you either call Ku Yuan out, or hand over the great city to me," Li Yue said.

"So you've resorted to robbery when the deal fell through, that's your true intention, isn't it?" Lei Ming sneered. "No need for further explanation, our human race has no tradition of ceding cities. If you want to take action, then come at me!"

In the primordial world, there were no moral rules, only the law of the jungle. Reasoning was useless; in the end, it was all about fists.

Li Yue was clearly familiar with these rules as well. After thinking for a moment, he decided to test the strength of the human race. Tens of thousands of sea race warriors formed a battle formation. These sea race members were not particularly strong; there were not many at the Earth Immortal level, and the vast majority were below the Immortal level. However, their combined strength was not to be underestimated.

"Poseidon's Halberd!" The sea creatures' magic transformed into a massive halberd ten thousand feet long, a divine artifact worshipped by the beaver tribe. A divine artifact is a sacred object, imbued with the faith and offerings of the entire tribe, gathering fortune and divine power to become immensely powerful.

The Divine Path was prevalent in the prehistoric world before Hongjun Daozu attained enlightenment. After Hongjun Daozu attained enlightenment and preached in Zixiao Palace, the Divine Path was replaced by the Immortal Path. Now, only some minor races in the prehistoric world continue to cultivate the Divine Path, while the major powers have long abandoned it.

The Trident of the Sea God took shape, radiating countless rays of light and exuding divine might. Beneath the Trident of the Sea God, Lei Ming felt himself locked in by some kind of power, and even the space around him became heavy.
