"Then I'll take it myself," Chen Lan said coldly, casually throwing Wu Yu aside.

With a wave of his large hand, a trident appeared in his grasp.

The trident's body was blue, emitting endless radiance all around. Water flowed along its shaft, swirling continuously. Its aura was terrifyingly powerful, truly an Unparalleled Divine Weapon.

This trident is a Celestial Dao Supreme Treasure.

Chen Lan recognized it at a glance. Not only that, inside the trident were abundant traces of the Water Dao. By refining it, one could undoubtedly grasp the entrance to the Water Dao.

However, if it were refined, this Magical Treasure would become an utmost innate Supreme Treasure, far inferior to the Celestial Dao Supreme Treasure.

Moreover, inside this trident was an array allowing only the strongest individual within the Mermaid Race to wield it, with that standard being above a Daluo Golden Immortal.

It seemed that none in this Mermaid Race were above a Daluo Golden Immortal. The strongest was this Clan Leader, but he was merely at the Profound Immortal realm.

As for why he could wield it, the array was too trivial and easily broken.

"How... how did you do it?!" Wu Yu exclaimed, staring at the trident in Chen Lan's hand in astonishment.

Even those merfolk nearby were in shock. Wasn't this the treasure of the Mermaid Race?

This human could summon it. Could he be their new Mermaid Clan Leader?!

Buzz!

The next moment, the trident emitted supreme Divine Light, filling the entire hall and glowing brightly under the sea, more dazzling than before.

"The trident has acknowledged this human!" a merfolk exclaimed in surprise.

Plunk, his weapon fell to the ground. He trembled as he bowed down, his tail curled backward, performing a human-like bow with his forehead touching the floor: "Greetings to the new Clan Leader."

Whoever pulled out the Mermaid Divine Halberd would become the new Clan Leader; this rule they had never forgotten!

As one knelt, the others dropped their weapons and worshipped Chen Lan.

Witnessing this, Luo Tao beside him was utterly dumbfounded.

His good friend Chen Lan had just become a Clan Leader of a race like that?

This was simply too incredible.

Ignoring them, Chen Lan extracted all the Water Dao inside the trident.

Instantly, the trident's sacred radiance dimmed considerably, as if it had lost some of its divinity. Yet, everyone remained kneeling, undeterred. Even Wu Yu nearby didn't notice the overwhelming changes in their treasured artifact.

"Taozi, here." Chen Lan casually tossed the trident to Luo Tao.

Luo Tao anxiously caught the trident, amazed to find he could wield it. Was he also chosen by the trident?

Seeing the clan's trident in Luo Tao's hands, the crowd gasped again, quickly doubting whether it was truly their Supreme Treasure.

"How can it be? Two humans can wield it, but why can't we?"

"Could it be fake?"

"Too strange. Didn't they say only our Mermaid Race could wield it?"

Many merfolk suspected it was a fake treasured artifact, each standing with renewed hostility toward Chen Lan and Luo Tao.

Wu Yu also stood up, eyeing the trident in Luo Tao's hand, speaking gravely, "Is this real or fake?"

"See for yourself," Luo Tao casually hurled the trident to Wu Yu.

Wu Yu didn't evade, reaching out to catch it.

Bang!

As the trident landed in Wu Yu's hand, it felt as heavy as Mount Tai, smashing his hand to the ground heavily.

"Ah!!!" Wu Yu screamed in pain, quickly saying, "It's real, it's real. Please, could you help take it off?"

He was a hundred percent certain it was real because the weight was clearly beyond his capability.

Previously, he had held the trident, and the weight was identical to now.

Luo Tao chuckled, lifting the trident with ease. In his hand, the trident was as light as a feather.

Beside him, Chen Lan smiled slightly. When removing the trident's array, he added his own. Now, only he and Luo Tao could wield it.

After seeing Luo Tao and Chen Lan both able to wield the trident, the Clan Leader realized his position was jeopardized.

"Clan Leader." Wu Yu knelt on the ground, bowing to Chen Lan.

"Taozi, you can be the Clan Leader," Chen Lan said with a faint smile.

He had no interest in becoming the Clan Leader of the Mermaid Race, as their strength was too weak and of little use.

If it were the Giant Race, he wouldn't mind accepting it since at least they could be useful.

"Really?" Luo Tao was overjoyed. Could he so quickly have his own force?

"Of course," Chen Lan chuckled, stepping a few paces away.

"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony," Luo Tao laughed, coughed twice, lowered his voice, and pretended to speak solemnly: "From now on, I am your new Clan Leader."

"Yes, Clan Leader!" Wu Yu quickly turned direction, bowing to Luo Tao.

"Yes, Clan Leader!!!" The merfolk uniformly bowed to Luo Tao.

Seeing this scene, Luo Tao's vanity was about to explode, his mouth twisting into a Nike swoosh.

This feeling was exhilarating!

"Hm?" At this moment, Chen Lan suddenly looked outside.

He saw a colossal creature emerging from a volcano, heading towards Huaxia, and a blue tiger coming out of the Antarctic ice mountain, heading in the same direction.

It looked like both paths were aimed at the Xiao Yao Sect.

After a quick glance, Chen Lan dismissed them. Such trivial matters did not require his intervention.

…

On the other side.

The Flame Demon was heading towards Huaxia, not concealing its aura, terrifying many demon beasts along the way.

"The Spiritual Qi in the New World is so dense. It's marvelous, and it seems the Heaven and Earth Laws are complete. I might break through to quasi-emperor or even higher."

The closer it got to Huaxia, the more the Flame Demon sensed the concentrated Spiritual Qi.

This only increased its anticipation for the most concentrated area of Spiritual Qi, and these humans—wouldn't devouring them make it more powerful?

As a member of the Demon Race, the Flame Demon could strengthen itself by devouring other beings. It reached the Saint King realm through slaughter.

It had long lost count of how many demon beasts or humans it devoured, countless in total.

In a few steps, it reached a city in Huaxia.

The people of Huaxia, seeing the sudden appearance of the Flame Demon, panicked and fled in all directions.

"So many delicious meals," the Flame Demon licked its lips, eager for a feast.

Suddenly, the Flame Demon stopped, its body stiffening.

Because before it stood a dark green Qilin.

"Qilin?! Woken up so fast?" Seeing the Qilin, the Flame Demon was ecstatic, licking its lips.

This was a Qilin, with exquisite meat. It had tasted it once before, a flavor unforgettable, containing immense cultivation power. A single bite could enhance its cultivation.

If it could devour this Qilin, the Flame Demon could break through to quasi-emperor or even perfect quasi-emperor.

"The master commands, do not step into Huaxia; violators will die!"
