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

Chapter 405 [The Seven Seas' Powerful Warriors] VS [Great Yan]

Seeing this figure descending from the sky and hearing this familiar voice.

Xia En's expression relaxed considerably, and his mood instantly calmed down.

This stems from both confidence in the newcomer and confidence in his own judgment.

William, Lattywen, and Benny all stared in shock at the man who had suddenly appeared, his body engulfed in flames.

They recognized him at a glance.

This tall and imposing man was none other than the King of Cinder!
and.

Unlike the Lord of Cinder who was defeated by Augustine earlier.

The Lord of Cinder before me exuded an indescribable aura of supreme majesty.

The momentum is at its peak.

The flames on his body were intensely bright, seemingly transcending the mundane world, so dazzling that it was almost impossible to look directly at them.

Moreover, there was a kind of wisdom and vicissitude that time had etched into his eyes.

That's a quality that can only be acquired through the trials of time.

Honestly.

The Lord of Cinder created by [Da Yan] is already extraordinary enough.

He truly possessed the demeanor and responsibility of a king, and his words and actions captivated William and others.

but.

Everything is afraid of comparison.

At this moment, the true King of Cinder makes his appearance.

Everyone could sense that there was a fundamental difference in their souls between these two Lords of Cinder.

So much so that it can be identified at a glance.

It can be said.

Only now does the King of Cinder possess the regal majesty befitting his status and position.

It stands in stark contrast to the former pirate king Augustine, who is not far away, presenting a situation of rivalry.

It's not hard to understand the shock that Latiwen and the others felt.

To them.

The Lord of Cinder is more like a figure who lives in legends and in history books.

The previous Lord of Cinder was a fake created by the Great Flame.

Moreover, since they had just appeared and were already defeated by Augustine, the impact on Latwen and the others was not as strong.

But the King of Cinder in front of us is the real deal!

It was as if a living legend had come to them.

How could this not stir up emotions in them?
among them.

Naturally, Anbing's gaze was the most complex.

After witnessing so many scenes from my memories.

She had come to realize, to some extent, that the Lord of Cinder might not have betrayed their promise.

The Lord of Cinder did not betray their feelings.

Many of his actions were taken out of necessity.

The reason why I gradually drifted apart from the King of Cinder.

on the one hand.

It was because of an imminent disaster.

On the other hand, there are misunderstandings arising from various coincidences.

Now that things have come to this, it's hard to say who is right and who is wrong.

But it's clearly impossible for Dark Ice to simply pretend nothing happened and forgive Lord Cinder.

At this moment, this reunion spanning hundreds of years inevitably stirred up Anbing's emotions.

She had something she wanted to say, but she couldn't bring herself to say it directly.

However, the current situation is not the time to concern ourselves with such personal matters.

After suppressing the distracting thoughts in my mind.

A question involuntarily popped into Anbing's mind.

How did the Lord of Cinder enter the interior of the Great Flame?

Doesn't the Great Yan Empire exclude legendary and higher-level powerhouses?

And this time.

Xia En and Jane, standing to the side, already knew the answer in their hearts.

In fact.

When Edward and Augustine appeared in the palace of the Great Yan King.

They then considered one possibility.

With the successive destruction of the three nodes, the internal stability of the Great Flame is likely to have become extremely fragile.

It allows legendary powerhouses to enter through some means.

Obviously.

The crack in the sky was the passage that Lord Cinder forcibly opened to enter the Great Flame.

That's why they arrived in front of Shane at the crucial moment.

only.

Shane also noticed that the Lord of Cinder was saying... "Us?"

Thinking of this, Xia En looked up again.

Several more figures emerged from the crack.

Surprisingly, Xia En was not unfamiliar with those figures.

The two people in the lead.

One of them radiated a white glow similar to that of Latiwen, as if he were being embraced by light.

It appeared sacred and magnificent.

The other person was dressed in a black robe, with hair curled like a sea serpent, and exuded a deep and cold aura.

It looked as if it had just been pulled out of the sea thousands of meters below the surface.

These two were indeed powerful individuals who had reached the eighth rank.

Archbishop Musa of the Faith Church!
And Mr. Heller, one of the most mysterious figures in the Cult of the Deep.

And that's not all.

Behind Musa and Heller, it was visible.

First, a blinding purple light tore through the thick clouds, like a giant blade that split the sky.

Within that purple light, a majestic figure stood in the void, surrounded by lightning.

Each step that landed made the space crackle like shattered glass.

This person is a legendary lightning-type cultivator, known in the Seven Seas Federation as the "Thunder Overlord".

His gaze was like lightning, sweeping across the surroundings. The lightning-based power emanating from his body caused the surrounding air to crackle and pop.

Immediately afterwards, starlight gathered in the sky, forming a dazzling star bridge.

An elderly man wearing a robe draped in stars strolled across the bridge.

He held an ancient book in his hand that emitted a soft glow.

With each page turned, the power of the stars overflowed, forming various mysterious constellations around him.

Looking at the old man's appearance alone, you might find him to be a complete stranger.

But once his deeds are mentioned...

Most people will have some impression of the Seven Seas.

This old man is a legendary [astrologer]!
Title – [Elder Star]

He was the first to make a definitive statement about the second great flood that would destroy the world.

They also pinpointed the source of the great flood to the far north for the Federation in advance.

Otherwise, relying solely on a document that has been sealed away for many years would be insufficient.

It's impossible for it to quickly garner such significant attention from federal officials.

we can even say.

The expedition of the King to explore the far north was born under the strong impetus of this old man.

Not only that.

The federal government's numerous major operations were actually related to the prophecies of the Old Man of the Stars.

And this time.

In order to defeat the undead [Da Yan], he himself directly participated in this war.

After all, when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact.

This war is not just a war of the Seven Seas Federation, but a war of the entire world, and even of all humanity in the Seven Seas World.

Even legendary figures like the Star Elder, who prefer to remain behind the scenes, were forced to step forward and participate in this battle.

Besides them, several other legendary experts with exceptional strength and aura also appeared one after another.

Each of them possesses unique skills and enjoys a great reputation throughout the Seven Seas.

Any one of them could be a figure renowned throughout the seven seas.

When they gather here, simply standing in mid-air, they bring a powerful and magnificent aura.

It was enough to make even ordinary people who traveled the secret paths tremble with fear. Without a doubt.

These legendary powerhouses are the true backbone of the Seven Seas World.

The burden of deciding the fate of the Seven Seas World should not have fallen on the shoulders of Shane and the others.

Now, it's simply a matter of bringing the previously out-of-control situation back on track.

Of course, the actions of Xia En and the others were not entirely without merit.

It was precisely because they destroyed the three key nodes that they disrupted the internal structure of the Great Yan.

Only legendary figures like the King of Cinder had the opportunity to open a passage and launch a full-scale attack on the Great Flame.

As legendary powerhouses made their appearances, the secret power within the [Great Yan] memory scenes surged wildly.

Mysterious light and strange power intertwined, contrasting with the towering sea of ​​fire below.

This made the already bizarre space even more chaotic and disorderly.

same.

The internal structure of the entire [Great Yan] was further destabilized due to the influx of legendary powerhouses.

at this time.

The Lord of Cinder turned to look at himself, who had been shaped by the Great Flame.

After the battle with Augustine.

The Lord of Cinder in this memory scene was rapidly weakening, and his internal secret power was almost completely depleted, as if he had suffered some kind of irreparable injury.

He was able to stand in front of Xia En and the others before, but he was just barely holding on.

And then, I saw my true self arrive.

The King of Cinder, as remembered, did not feel sad; instead, he showed a relieved smile.

"You are indeed here."

"I knew it. If it were me, how could I possibly miss such a crucial decisive battle?"

Upon hearing this, the real King of Cinder sounded somewhat apologetic.

"I was still a step too late."

The King of Memory shook his head and said.

"I am but a phantom destined to vanish."

"To be defeated by another former king is not to disgrace the title of King of Cinder."

"To be able to learn the truth about this world at the last moment and to see my true self is enough."

"Now, I have completed my mission."

"The rest is up to you."

"Keep going, my other self!"

As the words fell, the King of Cinder in my memory closed his eyes.

The entire mutilated body gradually transformed into a slightly dim flame.

"Next, it's time for our battle."

The King of Cinder sighed and stretched out his hand.

The flame fell into his hand, just like the node where the fire seed absorbed the [Great Flame] before.

In the blink of an eye.

The flame then completely merged into the Lord of Cinder's body.

The disappearance of the King of Cinder means that the penultimate key node of the Great Flame has also been destroyed.

at the moment.

We are only one step away from completely destroying the undead [Great Flame]!
only.

The disappearance of the Lord of Cinder's memory is not without its drawbacks.

As his node disappears.

The memory scenes, which were already becoming increasingly fragile and unbalanced due to the influx of numerous legendary powerhouses, are now even more vulnerable.

Just like the previous times that Xia En had encountered, it completely collapsed.

In the sea of ​​fire, terrifying cracks appeared one after another, like pitch-black holes, swallowing everything nearby.

Even the buildings that were reduced to ruins were not spared from the disaster.

In the sky.

The rift created when Lord Cinder and his men broke in began to spread cracks outwards.

The entire sky was shattered, like broken porcelain.

But for legendary figures like Lords of Cinder, the crumbling memories are not a problem.

What really made them raise an eyebrow was...

In the sea of ​​fire.

Gradually, the figures of the dead began to appear.

They were wreathed in blood-red flames, their bodies resembling charred corpses.

These flames, filled with intense resentment and anger, emitted a "whooshing" sound, as if telling of their unwillingness in life.

and.

These undead are generally extremely powerful.

Among them are even those who have reached legendary levels.

Obviously.

These are not just the spirits born from this sea of ​​fire.

Furthermore, the awakened [Great Flame] began to use its power to exterminate these outsiders, including the Lord of Cinder.

at the same time.

Edward wasn't just watching from the sidelines.

Upon seeing the arrival of Lord Cinder and his entourage, his expression changed slightly, but he did not believe that he had no chance of winning.

He raised his wrist once more, using the power of the Command Stone to control the clone of the Lord of Cinder and the Augustin B1, launching an attack on the many legends of the Seven Seas.

"Augustine, kill them all!"

Following his order.

Augustine raised his greatsword, Ocean, once again and slashed it horizontally towards Xia En and the others.

A terrifying aura surged forth in an instant.

"Your opponent... is me!"

The King of Cinder let out a cold shout.

A huge flaming blade appeared out of thin air in his hand, and he slashed at [Wang Yang].

The moment the flaming longsword touched the illusory seawater, a violent explosion was heard.

Unlike the situation where the Lord of Memory and Augustine are evenly matched.

The original Lord of Cinder's strike left a deep "scar" in that illusory sea.

It looked as if it could slice the entire ocean in two with a single stroke!

Simultaneously.

The Lord of Cinder looked at Augustine B1 with a hint of pity in his eyes.

"In the end, it's nothing more than a manufactured counterfeit."

"No matter how similar they are, they don't possess the true soul of that pirate king."

"Now, let me help you get rid of this burden."

Just as the Lord of Cinder rose up and engaged Augustine in battle.

Archbishop Musa and Mr. Heller considered Edward their primary target for resolution.

"A lackey of the Truth Society."

"Although I don't know why you betrayed humanity and attempted to destroy the world."

"But since you've done this, you must be prepared to be at odds with the world!"

Musa's eyes suddenly shone with a light as bright as the sun.

A beam of light descended from the sky, locking onto Edward's location.

This is a divine spell from the Radiant Cult that can restrict the movement of enemies.

Under the radiant light, nothing can hide.

Edward was also unable to break free from control using methods such as "spatial teleportation".

Followed by.

Heller, his hair and beard dancing wildly, seemed to transform into a shadow beneath the radiance, approaching Edward's side like a phantom.

Then, Heller stretched out his large hand and slapped it from a distance.

A jet-black handprint appeared on Edward's chest.

It exudes a chilling aura.

As the handprint tightened, Edward's heart felt as if it were being squeezed by a giant hand.

This is a variant of the "Mind-Stealing Technique".

Edward, of course, would not sit idly by and wait for his doom.

He suddenly shouted loudly.

"The truth, I already know it..."
