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

Chapter 367 [Point Destruction] [Battle Against a Legend!]

The King of Cinder's words fell silent as both Shaen and the other fell silent.

Although Shane had a vague idea that the Lord of Cinder was the key they were looking for.

But to his surprise, the Lord of Cinder not only noticed this, but also brought it up himself.

Isn't this equivalent to him asking Xia En and the other person to "kill" him?
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Lord Cinder smiled slightly.

"It seems you all have a very deep connection with me in the real world..."

"You should also know that the me here is merely a phantom created by the Great Yan."

"Even this whole world is just a dream that keeps repeating itself."

"In that case, now is the time to wake up from the dream."

The King of Cinder's eyes held a gentle tenderness and a sense of relief.

"However, for you, this is just the beginning."

"So please get started as soon as possible."

Now that the Lord of Cinder has said so, Shane has no reason to continue to hesitate.

So he took out the [Fire Seed] from his bosom.

Just as he was about to activate it, Dark Ice suddenly spoke up.

"Let me handle this kind of thing."

As she said this, Anbing's eyes regained their resolve, no longer showing any confusion or hesitation.

She took the [Fire Seed] and walked up to the Lord of Cinder.

Just then, the Lord of Cinder blinked and said.

"Actually, I have one last question."

"Ms. Dark Ice, I always feel that the way you look at me is very complicated. May I ask... why is that?"

Is it because our relationship has soured after we got married?

Upon hearing this, Xia En couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

These issues are undoubtedly like a rave in Dark Ice's minefield, ready to ignite her emotions at any moment.

However, Dark Ice's reaction surprised Xia En.

She simply looked calmly at the young King of Cinder and asked.

"What do you think?"

"What do you think our relationship will be like after we get married?"

King Cinder pondered for a moment and then spoke.

"I think our relationship shouldn't be bad, right?"

"Although it's an arranged marriage, I've already made up my mind—"

"No matter who becomes my wife, I will treat her well and make her happy."

"but……"

Lord Cinder glanced at Dark Ice's expression and sighed regretfully.

"It seems my future self couldn't do it..."

"No, actually you did it."

Anbing shook her head and said frankly, "I have indeed fallen in love with you, but because of this, I hate you to the core."

"Is that right?"

The King of Cinder looked apologetic: "In any case, I may have indeed done something wrong. Please allow me to apologize to you for my future self."

Dark Ice stared intently at the King of Cinder's face, seemingly trying to imprint that young face into her mind.

Then, she activated the [Fire Seed] in her hand and murmured to herself.

"But even if I had another chance, I would still marry you..."

next moment.

The brilliance of the [Spark] shines forth.

The small flame suddenly turned into a ball of fire.

It burst into flames, resonating in some way with the Lord of Cinder before it.

hum-

In the resonance of the secret power, the Lord of Cinder's body rapidly changed.

In an instant, he transformed into a blazing, bright flame humanoid form.

Immediately, the raging flames flowed into the [Fire Seed] in Dark Ice's hand like water, making it grow even stronger.

During this process, the aura of the entire [Fire Seed] subtly underwent a certain sublimation.

It was as if it had come to life, possessing its own unique existence.

"This is?"

This change was completely unexpected by both Xia En and An Bing.

Rather than saying that the "Spark" destroyed the crucial node of the "Lord of Cinder," it is more accurate to say that the "Spark" destroyed the crucial node of the "Lord of Cinder."

Rather, it's more accurate to say that the [Fire Seed] absorbed and assimilated him!

However, before the two could delve into the reasons behind this...

The world around them suddenly changed!
Click... click...

The air seemed to echo with countless cracking sounds.

Xia En clearly felt that the surrounding space was becoming unstable.

It looks like a porcelain vase that is breaking.

at the same time.

Everything around me—the grand and magnificent palaces, the intricate dark red fire patterns, and the dark green palace walls—began to fade.

Even more disturbingly, some distorted light and shadow appeared in the corner of Xia En's line of sight.

Seeing this, Xia En immediately realized what was happening—

This world is about to collapse!

This city of blazing flames was originally a fictional creation of the Great Flame.

At this moment, the Lord of Cinder, who was the node, was absorbed by the [Spark]. The entire memory lost its core anchor and thus lost its meaning, naturally making it impossible to continue.

And look at those faded things in the corners.

Xia En's intuition kept sending warning signals.

He had a premonition that if he were to get caught up in those distorted lights and shadows, something terrible would definitely happen.

Without hesitation, Xia En spoke to An Bing beside him.

"let's go!"

"I know a relatively safe place where I can escape the aftershocks of the memory space collapse."

Having said that, he used his full speed and rushed out of the side hall first.

Knowing the urgency of the situation, An Bing didn't ask any questions, but decisively followed behind Xia En.

He rushed out of the side hall to take a look.

The space collapsed faster than Shane had anticipated.

Cracks appeared in the sky high above, and the earth began to shake violently, with the ground constantly cracking open.

Houses not far away are collapsing in large sections.

Such a scene resembles a cataclysmic event, as if the sky were collapsing and the earth were splitting apart.

This naturally triggered widespread chaos among the citizens of Fanyan City.

"Oh my god! What happened?"

"The sky... why is the sky cracked? Is the end of the world coming?"

"What exactly is going on?"

Exclamations, screams, and questions rose and fell in waves.

Even the well-trained soldiers and Blackflame Walkers inside the palace couldn't help but show expressions of shock and fear.

However, this chaos also drew most of Xia En's attention.

As a result, only Irina and a few Blackflame Walkers discovered their whereabouts.

"Hey, Miss Dark Ice, where are you going?"

Irina quickly realized what was happening.

"By the way, where is King... King Xin?"

Given such a major upheaval, Lord Cinder should have stepped in immediately to stabilize the situation.

Why is it nowhere to be found now?
However, no one could answer Irina's question.

Amidst the chaos, Xia En and his companion fled towards the palace via the route they had taken.

The reason it doesn't fly is because it's too conspicuous in the air, making it an easy target and attracting unnecessary trouble.

Even so, the two encountered unexpected obstacles. Not far away.

A Blackflame Walker's body was affected by some kind of force, and his entire body faded at a visible speed, becoming pale and dull.

He murmured to himself.

"So... I was already dead?"

"It's fake, it's all fake..."

In his murmurs.

The man's body suddenly burst into black flames, and his face became hideous and grotesque.

Black tears of blood dripped from his eyes, turning him into a charred, black corpse, completely devoid of any trace of life.

Then, he turned his stiff head.

His empty eye sockets stared at Xia En and the other person not far away, and he uttered a hoarse and malicious murmur.

"Eliminate...clear out...outsiders".

"Everything... for the Great Yan..."

Upon seeing this, Xia En's pupils constricted slightly.

He quickly figured out the reason for this anomaly.

Rather than saying that this [Blackflame Walker] became an undead, it would be more accurate to say that he simply returned to his original form.

—The true citizens of the Great Yan Dynasty had long since perished in the disasters of the past.

Those lingering in this city are nothing more than restless souls.

At this moment, with the collapse of the memory space, having lost the embellishment of their memories and their self-awareness, they naturally reverted to the form of the dead.

And because of the Great Flame's hostility towards outsiders, these undead would naturally attack Xia En and his companion.

They want to completely eliminate them.

Without hesitation, Xia En drew a sculpted longsword from the shadows.

It suddenly accelerated and rushed forward.

A snort!
A flash of dark sword light disappeared into the air.

The undead blocking Xia En and the other person's path were thus split in two.

However, even if it is cut in half.

The undead's mangled body lay on the ground, still writhing.

Its body gradually contracted towards the center, seemingly with a tendency to reassemble itself.

Xia En was not surprised by this.

To be precise, these undead are only a part of the Great Flame.

As long as the Great Flame is not destroyed, these undead will not truly die.

Fortunately, Shane's goal was not to kill the enemy.

After rendering the undead incapacitated, they quickly crossed the area and rushed out of the palace.

However, more and more residents of the city began to realize the truth that they had already died.

One by one, they transformed into hideous undead and surrounded Shane and his companion.

Moreover, at this rate, all the citizens of the city will be transformed into such undead.

Just imagining that scene sent chills down Xia En's spine.

After leaving the palace, what Xia En saw was shocking.

At this moment, the once bustling and prosperous city of Fanyan was completely gone, replaced by a scene of utter devastation.

Ordinary people who were still not fully awake and were fleeing in all directions.

The undead utter painful howls and terrifying, eerie cries.

And collapsed houses, faded sky.

Everything appeared extremely chaotic and utterly miserable.

It's hard to imagine that this place was once brightly decorated and full of festive cheer not long ago.

Not long after.

A group of undead locked onto Xia En and his companion's location and surrounded them from all directions.

Faced with a tidal wave of the dead.

Dark Ice didn't stop there; a burst of cold air poured out, freezing large numbers of undead into ice sculptures.

Her freezing ability is actually more effective than Shane's when facing an unkillable enemy.

"here you go."

With a single sword strike, Xia En cleaved through a swarm of undead in front of him, his body charging forward like a cannonball.

Relying on his extremely strong physique, he was like a rampaging war machine in the city, and almost nothing could stop his charge.

In the blink of an eye, a large open space was cleared.

At this moment, after estimating the distance to the door, a hint of joy flashed in Xia En's eyes.

"Almost there, we should be there after crossing two more streets."

However, just as Xia En was preparing to rush to his destination in one go...

They sensed an extremely powerful aura rapidly approaching them.

"Oh no! This is..."

Anbing's expression also changed.

In an instant.

A dark figure plummeted from a great height at an incredible speed, landing on the street in front of the two people.

boom! ! !
Accompanied by the dust billowing from the ground and the earth trembling continuously.

The entire neighborhood was reduced to ruins by the force of the impact.

Then, a tall and majestic figure gradually emerged from the still-lingering smoke and dust.

Surprisingly.

This man was quite different from those undead who had been completely turned into charred corpses.

He was dressed in tattered, blood-stained armor and carried a two-meter-long spear, looking as if he had just come from the battlefield.

Only half of the man's face transformed into a ghost, while the other half retained its appearance from when he was alive.

It looked extremely strange.

And the moment I saw this man.

Xia En felt a murderous aura rushing towards him, as if it would freeze his soul!
That kind of murderous aura can only be cultivated on a battlefield like a meat grinder.

That great spear has claimed countless enemy souls.

"General Hanno..."

Upon seeing this person, Anbing's expression also changed.

She explained it to Xia En as concisely as possible.

"This general is the commander of the Great Yan Imperial Guard and also the general with the most battles fought in the Great Yan Kingdom."

"It is said that before he came to the far north, he was a general of a kingdom."

"It seems that he was exiled to the far north because he had killed too many people and displeased the king."

"And here, the Lord of Cinder accepted him, and after several great battles, his cultivation level rose to the seventh-tier legendary level!"

No need for Dark Ice reminder.

Xia En also learned of the other party's legendary identity.

At this moment, just facing General Hanno, Shane felt a suffocating sense of oppression.

Ordinary secret practitioners would probably not even have the thought of resisting him.

Hanno's gaze swept coldly over Xia En and the other person.

Although he still maintained half of his human form, there was no rationality in his eyes, only overwhelming hostility and murderous intent.

"Those who invade the Great Flame shall die!"

Having said that, Hanno showed no intention of negotiating and charged directly at Shane with his spear.

The sense of crisis he instinctively felt reached its peak at this moment. Even for Xia En, this was the first time he had ever faced the killing intent of a legendary powerhouse like this.

That palpable killing intent seemed to directly invade Xia En's mind, causing him to lose his mind and thus lose the ability to resist.

However, the more desperate the situation, the calmer Xia En's mind became.

The brave wins when we meet on a narrow road.

So what if it's legendary?
After being promoted to [Guardian of Secrets] and undergoing several upgrades, he might not be without the ability to fight against a Legendary.

【The Great Dark Heaven】was activated immediately.

The secret power and strength within his body were pushed to their limit at this moment.

All techniques were simplified, becoming the most unadorned and straightforward strike.

Xia En neither dodged nor evaded, but directly met Hanno's spear head-on!
