CHAPTER 184 - TRIDENT OF THE SEA

The scene changed as the moment the figures of Noah and the miniature Kraken passed through the door, they appeared in a sparkling underwater cave that shone with resplendent light.

"Don’t touch a single thing and just follow me."

The Kraken continued in a gruff but squeaky voice from its smaller body as they floated through what looked to be many treasures below them towards the peak, where a blinding blue and gold light sat majestically.

It seemed like they were ascending a gold mountain as Noah found luxurious gems, exquisite armors, and golden glowing items spread across all around the underwater cave.

At the peak of this cave was a golden trident that shone in a blinding light, making one only able to see its outline but not its shape in its entirety. The miniature Kraken that now looked like a dark large squid stopped near the trident as it turned towards Noah.

"The little fork is supposed to have many mysteries, where I’m supposed to tell you a story about how only those that are worthy will be able to lay their hands on it and use its power, but it’s all bullshit."

Flat words continued to come out of the Kraken’s mouth as it utterly disregarded the Trident of the Sea letting out tremendous waves of power in front of them.

"It had nothing to do with being worthy, it just needs someone with an abundant amount of energy as its master in order to exhibit its powers to the fullest. Go on now, lets see if you have the minimum required energy to wield it."

The tentacles pushed Noah forward as he squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the golden shining trident floating in front of him. A sense of adrenaline was coursing through him as he was able to get his hands on something this powerful so easily. He steadied his heart as his hand reached out towards the gorgeously floating trident. When his hands wrapped around it, a change occurred.

A blinding circular light spread out as he felt mana draining from his body into the trident his hand clasped. An absurd amount of mana that reminded him when he was continuously activating and replenishing the [Time Dilation] feature of the Spiritual Land was going into the trident endlessly.

Only after an entire few seconds passed did the trident stop releasing the golden light as it began pulsing with a blue hue.

The Kraken floating behind Noah looked at this with sharp eyes as its now squeaky voice rang out again.

"Is it broken? I expected it to drain you to your knees before it accep-"

OOONG

Before the words could even finish, the pulsating blue hue mixed with gold and went on to cover the entire treasure cave they were in as the Trident of the Sea accepted a new master. It did not have any large requirements, only for its user to have enough energy to be able to use it.

Noah opened his eyes to feel the golden trident that felt weightless in his hands as a set of words began to appear in his field of vision.

[Trident of the Sea] :: A pinnacle treasure in the sea that allows its user to remain unrivaled against all enemies. Attack and Defensive capabilities are quintupled while equipped. Usable abilities include Heart Piercer, Plasma Beam, Command of the Sea, Loved by Water, and Spatial Lock.

[Heart Piercer] :: The trident moves like a flash of light, targeting the origin of the enemy.

[Plasma Beam] :: A highly conductive and concentrated beam of plasma that only leaves destruction in its wake.

[Command of the Sea] :: The water surrounding you can be influenced by a huge extent.

[Loved by Water] :: The veil of secrecy between the master of the trident and the element of water becomes thin.

[Spatial Lock] :: Space becomes hindered and locked as no enemies can escape your grasp.

A sense of exhilaration filled Noah as he read through the features of the treasure that many people were chasing. He swung it around him

"Practice with that for the next few days before we set off for Atlantis. If they manage to be destroyed before we get there, they deserve it for being so damn weak."

The Kraken voiced out as it watched Noah swinging the powerful trident around. Waves of gold and blue were spreading out as Noah became more and more used to swinging the Trident of the Sea around the water.

In another location, a group of powerful people letting out maddening auras of power moved silently.

One group was from the Mountain Sea Sect with the Martial Uncle Dylan in the lead. His robes were fluttering in the water as he looked towards the second group of cultivators he was traveling with.

This group of cultivators was a shadowy force that didn’t make themselves visible to the outside world for too long. Martial Uncle Dylan had been pondering these past weeks why they made this trip to the lost world of Atlantis, but did not come up with any leads.

A huge battle was about to occur, so he became straightforward and simply brought himself to ask the one leading the second group of Cultivators in the Lost World, Sect Master Inuit.

"Your sect does not in any way use the techniques related to the Law of Water. Why exactly did you come to the Lost World of Atlantis? Because I am sure the Supreme Treasure is not your goal."

They were quite a distance away, but his voice traveled from his lips into the ears of Sect Master Inuit in a matter of seconds. The Sect Master that he was addressing, was a middle-aged man with a calm expression and an otherworldly aura.

He seemed to not have a single worry in his life as he moved with the group of cultivators behind him who adopted similar expressions of calmness and strength. This belongs to .

A delightful smile covered his face as this Sect Master Inuit replied,

"You are right, my friend, it is not the supreme treasure that I’m here for. I am here for something else, or rather someone else."

This reply made Marshall Uncle Dylan close his eyes and squint towards this Sect Master. His words did not make anything clear and just added another layer of mystery.

Sect Master Inuit was the leader of one of the most powerful and hidden sets in the World of Cultivation. It was a sect that focused on and pondered the Laws of Karma. Cultivators that mysteriously searched for cause and effect.

What exactly had they found out? What had their techniques told them that made them come to search the Lost World of Atlantis not for the Supreme Treasure, but instead look for a being? Who exactly was this sect master of the Karmic Sect looking for?

There were many questions that were swimming in Martial Uncle Dylan’s mind, but Sect Master Inuit didn’t offer any more guidance as the two forces from the World of Cultivation moved forward to meet the forces of the Demon World. Their aims were the same, and they might even become enemies after the location of the treasure was found, but for now, they moved with a singular purpose, to rain down destruction on the city at the center of the Lost World.
