As Shui Zhongyue had expected, not long after, the rumors about Ling Chen and her became:
"Have you heard? Yesterday, the son-in-law stayed in the leader's bedroom!”
"Tch, what is this? Don't you know? The leader and son-in-law had known each other for a long time. The leader was even pregnant with son-in-law's flesh and blood. Because it was inconvenient to have sex during pregnancy, the leader had specially found a group of beauties earlier to be son-in-law's concubines!”
"Really?"
From the time she met Ling Chen to the time she was pregnant, the rumors had become more and more ridiculous. Some people even said that her child with Ling Chen could be considered as a soy sauce…who knew what Shui Zhongyue had experienced in this half a day.
All of this showed that the people of Remote Ocean recognized Ling Chen as their savior, and their intentions were good.
Therefore, Shui Zhongyue couldn't send people to suppress this matter, and there was no way to do so.
After all, even her personal maid believed that she and Ling Chen had something going on. Even if she shouted her lungs out and said that she and Ling Chen were innocent, no one would believe her!
……
On the battlefield, Ling Chen's battle with the Sea God's Trident reached its climax.
Although it was said to be white-hot, in reality, it was just Ling Chen single-handedly beating up the Sea God's Trident.
The trident, which had already wanted to retreat, could no longer withstand the pressure. It turned around and wanted to escape, not wanting to continue fighting with Ling Chen.
However, at this moment, Ling Chen suddenly saw a flash of light at the edge of the dark blue gem below the trident's spearhead.
He had long suspected that this huge sapphire was the trident's weakness. He had also slashed the Seven Star Dragon Abyss several times at the sapphire, but he had not gained anything. Now that he saw this scene, he suddenly realized.
"I see!" Ling Chen's eyes lit up as he activated the Extreme Void and reappeared beside the Sea God's Trident. He did not slash at it like before, but instead stabbed at the edge of the sapphire.
Crack!
The thin blade of the sword was stuck in the gap between the sapphire inlaid on the trident.
Facing this sudden and fatal attack, the Sea God's Trident completely panicked. It madly spun in the water, trying to escape from Ling Chen's sword.
However, how could Ling Chen let it have its way?
Immediately, he used his movement technique and followed the trident like a shadow. He kept the blade stuck in the gap at the edge of the gem. Boundless spiritual energy erupted and poured into the Seven Stars Dragon Abyss.
In the next moment,
With a kacha sound, the indestructible sapphire was lifted off the Sea God's Trident by Ling Chen.
The Sea God's Trident was shocked and spun madly, but it was unable to shake off Ling Chen.
"I see. You can stay here today!”Ling Chen coldly laughed, and his Dujie-stage spiritual energy once again exploded out.
With another crack, a dazzling sapphire suddenly flew out from the Seagod Trident, and the struggling Seagod Trident suddenly stopped moving. The trident was dim and dull, and even though it still emitted a terrifying might, it didn't have any spirituality.
It was as if the divine artifact's self-consciousness had inexplicably disappeared.
Ling Chen stretched out his hand to catch the sapphire, feeling the weak mental energy fluctuations coming from within. He faintly smiled and unhesitatingly crushed it.
This sapphire was the core of the Sea God's Trident, and also the place where the mysterious independent consciousness resided. When it was on top of the trident, it had become one with the trident, making it indestructible. However, after Ling Chen forcefully pushed it off, it was not much harder than a normal rock.
As the sentient sapphire was crushed by Ling Chen, the entire Sea God's Trident could be said to have fallen from a God Tool to a pseudo-God Tool that was as sharp as a God Tool, but had no sentient will.
This also made Ling Chen's idea of subduing a God Tool for his own use fall through.
After all, this thing was smelly and hard. If Ling Chen didn't destroy it, it would probably run away. The next time he met it, it would be a tough battle.
However, the Seagod Trident's main body was still there, which made him somewhat gratified. Even though his level had dropped, it was still better than nothing.
If he didn't like it, he could give it to someone else.
……
On the other side, the Sea God's Trident had died just like that. The few half-step Martial Emperors of the Imperial Palace were all petrified on the spot. Looking at Ling Chen's aura, they did not know whether to run or fight.
Ling Chen couldn't be bothered with them, and after looking around, he beckoned Shui Zhongyue over.
When Shui Zhongyue saw that Ling Chen seemed to be calling her over, she was stunned for a moment before decisively walking over to Ling Chen's side.
"Show me your trident.”Ling Chen said to Shui Zhongyue, who had an unnatural expression on her face.
Shui Zhongyue was startled, not expecting Ling Chen to ask her about this. She subconsciously took out her trident from her storage ring and handed it to him.
Ling Chen took the trident and weighed it in his hand. He then gripped the trident's handle, which was as thick as a baby's arm, and slightly exerted force.
Kacha ~
Shui Zhongyue's trident was broken by Ling Chen.
"It can't even be considered an Emperor Weapon. You have so many Martial Saints in Remote Ocean, but why don't you have a weapon that can be used?”Ling Chen frowned and pointed at the Sea God's Trident that had lost its consciousness,
"Here, I'll give that thing to you."
Since he had decided to give it to someone else, Ling Chen naturally gave it to Shui Zhongyue, who could no longer escape from his grasp.
Shui Zhongyue had originally seen Ling Chen break her trident, and was somewhat confused. However, hearing that Ling Chen wanted to give her the Sea Emperor's Trident, she was at a loss.
Shui Zhongyue didn't immediately reach out to take it. Instead, she said with a rare bashfulness,"" That's a divine artifact. I already owe you a lot. It's not suitable…"
"Why are you talking so much nonsense?”Ling Chen picked up the Sea God's Trident and threw it into Shui Zhongyue's hand, then mischievously winked at her,"We don't owe each other anything.”
" I…" Shui Zhongyue had wanted to refute Ling Chen's words, but in the end, she sighed and swallowed her words.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the special mission.
[Mission Reward 1: Daybreak Spear]
[Mission Reward 2: Divine Power < Palm World >]
[Mission Reward 3: Fairy Slaying Sword Formation (Incomplete Version)]
Additional reward for first special mission: Celestial Artifact, Time Shuttle (incomplete version)
The mission has been completed, and the additional reward has been issued. The host can withdraw it at any time. In addition, the host can choose two of the other three rewards.”
Just as Ling Chen was about to ask Shui Zhongyue how she planned to deal with these five half-step Martial Emperors, he heard a system notification.
The mission was completed?
Ling Chen was overjoyed, and just as he was about to choose a reward, the system's voice suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Ding! New mission detected…"
