We agreed to set sail, so you'd become the ruler of the deep sea?

Chapter 342 The Legendary Battle
Musa and Heller attacked together.

The previously chaotic tentacles, which resembled a raging storm, were mostly wiped out in an instant.

The entire ice field vanished in just a few seconds.

What would be an extremely dangerous situation for ordinary people, one that they could not overcome even with all their might, was like taking a walk in their own backyard to the two of them.

At this moment, not only the crew of the Black Swan, but also the crews of the Breeze, the Cold Rain, and the Dragon Pirates naturally noticed the battle taking place on the ice.

Upon seeing the two figures strolling leisurely in mid-air, everyone was shocked.

"Who is that?"

"So...so strong!"

"Could this oppressive aura come from a legendary expert?"

Thinking of this, people's gazes grew even more intense, staring intently at Musa and his companion.

After all, many of them had never seen a seventh-tier legendary secret cultivator before.

The fact that they could witness a legend's move up close naturally made them extremely excited and thrilled.

Soon, everyone also discovered that while dealing with the white tentacles, the two legendary experts seemed to be exchanging something.
Some speculated, "They must be discussing how to deal with this monster, right?"

Someone else chimed in, "Perhaps they're exploring the origins of these monsters!"

In reality, however, Heller and Musa were merely arguing.

"Ha, is this the power of the [Apostle of the Deep]?"

Musa chuckled, "You're already struggling so much to deal with this filth?"

Compared to Musa's method of dissolving the tentacles with light, the jet-black tentacles summoned by Mr. Heller did not seem to be much stronger than the white-haired tentacles.

The situation has become somewhat deadlocked.

This is why Musa made sarcastic remarks.

Upon hearing this, Heller merely curled his lips into a smile: "Your Excellency, it seems you are truly blind, unable to discern what I am actually doing."

"No wonder the Shining Church suffered heavy casualties when it went to war with the Truth Society."

Upon hearing this, Musa's attitude softened, and he said calmly.

“You’re right. In the early stages of the war with the Truth Society, my personal underestimation and misjudgment did lead to unnecessary casualties in the Radiant Sect.”

"This is my inescapable responsibility, so after this incident, I will resign from my position as archbishop and go to a small island to become a teacher."

Hearing this, Heller, who had just been speaking with barbs, fell silent for a moment.

Sincerity is the sure winner.

He originally intended to use this to attack Musa's mentality, but unexpectedly Musa readily admitted his mistake and said something like this.

It's important to understand that even ordinary people are often reluctant to admit their mistakes immediately when pointed out.

For those high-ranking figures, this could easily provoke anger and embarrassment.

Instead of solving the problem, they try to eliminate the person who raised it.

Musa, as the archbishop of the Church of the Holy See, was able to be so frank with Heller, whom he disliked.

Put yourself in Heller's shoes; he himself couldn't do that.

Even if it was just a performance, it was enough to earn his respect.

"Old man, it seems I underestimated you before."

Heller said, "You truly live up to the name of archbishop."

"However, if you want to retire peacefully, you must first return alive from the Far North."

Musa smiled faintly: "Then you don't need to worry about it."

Click!

click... click...

Just then, the ice beneath them suddenly began to shake violently, and large, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the ice.

Unlike the previous situation where many tentacles emerged from the ice surface.

The tremor seemed to originate from the deepest part of the ice layer, as if it were about to tear the entire ice field apart.

At this moment, Musa keenly realized something and looked down at the ice beneath him.

The murky gaze seemed to see through the shattered ice, revealing something deep within.

"I see."

Musa said calmly, "Is this the real filth that needs to be purified?"

at the same time.

Something... is about to come out!

"What a terrifying aura..."

Amidst the gasps of astonishment from the onlookers on the distant ship, the entire ice field continued to bulge upwards, and finally... it shattered!
A colossal creature, so enormous it defies description, burst into view from the depths of the icy sea.

It was a creature covered in white fur and shaped like a fleshy ball.

The white hairs looked more like tangled mold filth than normal hair, giving off a sense of filth just by looking at them.

Beneath the white fur lay dark, pale flesh and countless curled, writhing tentacles.

These horrific limbs, stretching for tens of kilometers, cluster together around a half-open, half-closed eye, as if it had just awakened!

It also carries an indescribable ancient aura.

It's like...

It had been sleeping beneath this ice layer for thousands of years, only to be awakened again due to some kind of anomaly!

Just as Shane and Jane had guessed, those tentacles emerging from the ice surface were only a part of this enormous entity.

The moment Xia En saw that eye, even his heart skipped a beat, and a strong sense of alarm arose in his mind.

His face was solemn as he stared at the monster that seemed to belong to a world out of the ordinary.

This monster brought an unprecedented sense of oppression to Shane.

He could sense that there was a certain gap in their life levels between himself and the other person.

Similarly, there was a similar gap between him and Musa and Heller, who were not far away.

However, because the two people did not fully release their aura, while the monster indiscriminately showed malice and hostility towards everyone.

Therefore, its impact is actually stronger.

"Is this the legendary realm...?"

Xia En had a sudden realization.

Although he had met Augustine and Yan Yan, the former was "weakened" by the [Ascension Ritual], while the latter had lost his memory and lacked some of his most important powers.

While Jane possesses the means to contend with legendary figures, she herself does not seem to have truly reached the seventh rank.

In other words, today is the first time that Xia En has faced a legend directly!
Moreover, three legendary-level beings appeared at once.

Xia En had a premonition that after witnessing this legendary battle firsthand, he would gain a deeper understanding of the Secret Pathfinders and Secret Power.

Perhaps this can help him break through the sixth-order barrier as soon as possible.

Such a battle would certainly benefit the other crew members as well.

So, Xia En reminded him, "Watch carefully and memorize their battle, especially the operation and flow of those secret forces."

"This will help you with your future promotions!"

Joey and the others immediately replied, "Yes, Captain!"

Even Shane felt a little apprehensive in the face of this monster, let alone the crew members on the other ships.

A commotion immediately erupted on several ships.

"What...what is that?"

"How can it be so huge? It's ridiculously large!"

"If we had been on that ice sheet just now, we probably would have been crushed by it." People felt both panicked and somewhat relieved.

Most people looked at the two figures in mid-air with worry and tension: "Such a huge monster... can those two win?"

Although people could tell that Heller and his companion were legendary powerhouses, in terms of size and aura, the tentacled monster clearly had the upper hand.

Onboard the Light Breeze, a crew member suggested to Daisy, "Captain Daisy, why don't we get away from this ice field now?"

"If those two legends are defeated, it will be too late to leave."

Daisy had the same thought, but when she turned to look at the Black Swan, she saw Shane standing on the deck, intently watching the distant battlefield.

Daisy astutely discerned Shane's attitude toward World War I.

He seemed to think... those two legends were bound to win?
Daisy was a little puzzled. Where did Captain Shane get such confidence?

Compared to this monster, the two people were like ants in front of an elephant, appearing extremely small.

Suddenly, a guess popped into Daisy's mind.

Could it be... that Captain Shane actually knows these two legendary powerhouses?

"hiss……"

Daisy took a slight breath of cool air.

Although this guess sounds a bit far-fetched, it would make sense if it were Captain Shane.

Moreover, this explains Shane's previous behavior and his current calm and confidence.

Regardless, Daisy couldn't possibly abandon the Black Swan and leave. She decided to trust Shane's judgment once again and silently gazed at the battlefield...

……

……

"It really is a big guy."

Musa's expression remained unchanged. He calmly glanced at the one-eyed blob of flesh before turning his gaze back to Heller.

"You come, or should I?"

After that conversation, the tense atmosphere between the two had largely dissipated.

Heller stopped being sarcastic towards Musa and spoke directly.

"give it to me."

at this time.

The filthy monster also launched a ferocious attack on the two of them.

The tentacles danced wildly, sweeping towards the two of them.

In addition, its enormous pupil opened slightly, and an extremely dangerous surge of secret power emanated from it.

Almost the instant the giant eye opened wide, Xia En narrowed his eyes, pushing his senses to their limit.

In that instant, he saw a method of operating the secret power of the secret path seekers that was different from that of the legendary ones.

It's hard to describe this feeling.

This monster doesn't seem to be channeling its secret power into its eyes; rather, its gaze itself is a kind of secret power!
For ordinary practitioners of secret arts, secret power is something that resides somewhere within the body and needs to be invoked in order to be used.

As for the legendary beings, they seem to have achieved a deeper level of integration with the secret power.

Xia En silently kept these insights in mind and continued to observe the situation on the field.

In an instant.

A faint, grayish-white light appeared in the air, heading straight toward Heller.

This secret power carries a strong sense of filth, as if it can assimilate everything into being the same as itself.

It's not hard to guess that the strange human faces on the monster's tentacles are the citizens of the Great Yan Kingdom who were cruelly killed and assimilated by it!
At the same time, this gray light can also be seen as a manifestation of the monster's gaze.

And the speed of light is something that humans can not capture.
In the blink of an eye, the gray light arrived in front of Heller.

At this critical moment, Heller smiled and casually snapped his fingers.

To be precise, he anticipated the attack before the gray light even appeared and reacted accordingly.

This creates the illusion that he is moving faster than the speed of light.

Boom!

The moment the fingers snapped, the color of the gray light suddenly changed.

Its color deepened continuously, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a deep, dark black, like ink.

Immediately afterwards, it seemed to lose all its aggression and instead became docile and obedient.

Heller slightly opened his mouth, revealing a set of somewhat sharp teeth.

Immediately, the black light entered his mouth on its own and was swallowed whole.

After chewing for a moment, a strange blush appeared on Heller's face as he commented.

"The taste is a bit off, but it's not inedible."

He actually absorbed the enemy's secret power directly!

Upon seeing this scene, Xia En inexplicably thought of his own [Void Secret Power].

The Void Force also has the ability to devour other forces, but doing so in battle is extremely difficult.

at the same time.

The changes in the scene are not over yet.

After the snap of the fingers, black spots suddenly appeared on the surface of the one-eyed fleshy monster.

Upon closer inspection, one can discover that the black spots are actually individual jet-black tentacles!
Since when, the tentacles on the monster's body have been silently transformed into something similar to the [Touch of the Deep]!

Moreover, the other tentacles seemed completely unaware of this.

They seemed to mistake these differently colored tentacles for their own kind and did not launch any attack.

Upon seeing this, a glint of surprise flashed in Musa's eyes.

"So the seeds were already planted just now?"

The black spots on the monster's surface were spreading at an extremely rapid pace, covering nearly a third of its surface in the blink of an eye.

Not only that, but even around that huge eye, a faint black aura began to appear.

In terms of its ability to infect, Heller's profound power can only be described as terrifying.

However, the characteristics of secret power have both advantages and disadvantages.

While Heller can continuously weaken the one-eyed fleshy mass, he lacks the ability to deliver a fatal blow.

At this moment, Musa spoke up, "Then, leave the rest to me."

Before he finished speaking, the elegant old man stretched out his hand, and a warm, sun-like radiance began to flow and converge.

Gradually, a greatsword composed of radiance formed in his hand.

[Divine Art: Sword of Light]

This was originally a very simple divine spell in the cult, but in Musa's hands, it displayed an amazing and unparalleled style.

"cut!"

With a soft shout, Musa swung his sword forward.

The slender lightsaber instantly expanded to tens of kilometers in length, slashing downwards with earth-shattering power.

The next moment, a white line pierced through the body and appeared on the surface of the filthy monster.

The eyeball was also split in two.

laugh--

In the dazzling white light, its body slowly tilted to both sides and collapsed.
