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

Chapter 430 [The Corrupted Apostle]

Obvious.

When the intersection of two different Seven Seas Worlds and the Dragon's Nest Secret Realm is located at the same place, unpredictable changes will naturally occur.

The current situation.

It's like opening a passage between the [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm] and the destroyed [Seven Seas World].

This caused the corrupted secret power within the destroyed Seven Seas World to surge into the Dragon's Nest Secret Realm along with the Black Tide.

Moreover, Shane clearly sensed it.

The Black Tide invading the Dragon's Nest Secret Realm at this moment is far more turbulent, eerie, and dangerous than the Black Tide in the Silent Sea of ​​the Seven Seas World.

The reason behind this is actually not hard to understand.

Even if the Seven Seas World is weak, it is still a relatively large and complete world.

Moreover, with Shane killing the [Great Sin Apostle], they survived the terrible catastrophe.

The world will of the Seven Seas World has also undergone a sublimation and transformation.

It would naturally and instinctively resist the mysterious power from another world, thereby weakening the destructive power of the [Black Tide].

But Dragon's Nest is a secret realm that is not very large.

Its world will is significantly weaker than that of the Seven Seas World, and its resistance is extremely limited.

This is why the Black Tide descended upon them in an even more dangerous manner.

However, the Dragon's Nest also has its own advantages.

That is……

Every ancient dragon here possesses immense power!
Among them, there are countless ancient dragons of the legendary realm.

When they unite, the power of the entire group can only be described as unfathomable.

Therefore, when the ancient dragons saw the "Black Tide" polluting the sea of ​​clouds in the distance, their first reaction was not panic, but anger!
Roar--

The furious roar of the dragon echoed through the sea of ​​clouds, making the air tremble.

The ancient dragons spread their enormous wings, their eyes burning with raging fury.

They could not tolerate their home being eroded by such a vile force.

at the same time.

A cold glint flashed in the silver eyes of the King of Dragons, and its deep voice resounded like thunder.

"You vile creature, how dare you trespass into the [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm]!"

"All ancient dragons, heed my command—"

"Purify this filth!"

At the command of the King of Dragons, countless ancient dragons soared into the sky.

They spewed out ferocious dragon breath from their mouths.

Like a blazing flame, it instantly ignited the dark sea of ​​clouds.

The powerful energy contained within the dragon's breath instantly evaporated the viscous "black tide."

Shaen stood on the deck of the Black Swan, his gaze fixed intently on the battle in the distance.

Although the ancient dragons were powerful, he still felt a vague unease in his heart.

He could sense that deep within this Black Tide, there was an exceptionally powerful aura hidden.

"Captain, what should we do?"

Jane walked to Xia En's side and asked in a low voice.

After a moment of contemplation, Shane decisively ordered, "All crew members of the Black Swan, prepare for battle!"

"We cannot stand idly by."

"Yes, Captain!"

The crew responded in unison and quickly went into battle mode.

String Song spread its bronze dragon wings and flew to Xia En's side, saying in a deep voice, "Captain Xia En, I also want to join the battle."

Xia En nodded, his gaze firm: "Okay, let's do it together."

at this time.

A strange whisper suddenly came from the distant Black Tide.

The voice seemed to come from the abyss, carrying endless malice and distortion.

It's like a curse from hell, carrying the hatred of those who have already decayed.

Immediately afterwards, countless distorted figures slowly emerged from the [Black Tide].

They came in all shapes and sizes; some resembled rotting giants, while others looked like twisted humanoid creatures, all exuding a nauseating stench.

It was the strange monster that Xia En and the others had encountered in the [Black Tide].

They are both aggregates of filthy and mysterious forces.

It is also a creature that has been corrupted in the Seven Seas World and has already been destroyed.

Shaen's gaze was fixed on the twisted monsters emerging from the Black Tide, and his heart sank.

These monsters exude an even more dangerous aura than those encountered in the [Sea of ​​Annihilation].

Clearly, the power of the Black Tide was enhanced to some extent in the Dragon's Nest Secret Realm.

But Xia En had experienced countless trials and tribulations.

He did not panic, but instead calmly and firmly issued the order.

"fire!"

At Shane's command, several powerful cannons on the Black Swan fired in unison.

The projectiles, formed from secret power, crashed into the dark waves like meteors.

After charging up, the purple main cannon fired a terrifying beam of light, instantly clearing out a large area of ​​filthy monsters.

However, compared to the attacks of the ancient dragons, a single barrage from the Black Swan was nothing.

Countless ancient dragons spewed their dragon breath, igniting swathes of filthy monsters.

at the same time.

And then there were the ancient dragons charging towards the Black Tide!

With their powerful physiques and fearless courage, these ancient dragons plunged headlong into the churning, malevolent "Black Tide."

They swung their sharp claws and swept their tails.

Wherever it went, the twisted monsters were easily torn apart, turning into pools of foul-smelling black slime.

In the fierce battle, the different types of ancient dragons all displayed their own unique methods.

A crimson fire dragon opened its massive maw, unleashing a torrent of scorching dragon breath that poured forth like a volcanic eruption, incinerating the monsters in the [Black Tide] into ashes.

The ancient ice dragon, its body as clear as crystal, flapped its massive wings, unleashing a chilling aura that instantly froze the Black Tide into an ice field.

Those twisted monsters were frozen in the extreme cold, and then shattered into countless ice shards under the claws of the ancient dragon.

The blue dragon that had previously led the way for Shane and the others spoke in mysterious dragon language, as if it were casting a unique dragon language spell.

next moment.

Thick bolts of lightning descended from the sky, striking the Black Tide and turning the filthy monsters into charred remains.

The power of lightning not only destroyed the monster, but also briefly dispelled the foul aura within the [Black Tide].

The dragon's roar shook the heavens and the earth, causing the entire sea of ​​clouds to tremble.

But even so.

The monsters in the Black Tide were not easily defeated.

Their numbers seemed endless, continuously gushing out from the cracks.

With suffocating malice, they pounced on the ancient dragons.

Some of the monsters' bodies even began to merge together, forming an even larger and more twisted entity.

Shaun stood on the deck of the Black Swan, his brow furrowed.

He was clearly aware of this.

While the ancient dragons' immense power can temporarily suppress the Black Tide, the battle will continue indefinitely if the source of the Black Tide cannot be severed.

After all, behind the Black Tide lies the entire destroyed Seven Seas World.

Even if the ancient dragon race is incredibly powerful, it's difficult for them to contend with the power of the entire world. Thinking this, Xia En said to the [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] beside him.

"Your Excellency, we must find the source of the Black Tide and cut off its passage into the Dragon's Nest Secret Realm in order to completely end this disaster."

[King of Ten Thousand Dragons] nodded slightly: "Captain Xia En, you are right."

"However, my body has long been integrated with the [Dragon's Nest Peak], and I cannot leave this nest too far."

"I will have other ancient dragons pave the way for you."

"And this is for you."

As he spoke, a silver scale peeled off the body of the [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] and fell into Xia En's hand.

"This scale carries my power; it might be of help to you in a critical moment."

The voice just fell.

The King of Dragons raised his enormous dragon head and let out a deafening roar.

As the dragon roared, all the ancient dragons present raised their heads in response.

Immediately, the ancient dragons sprang into action.

Instead of attacking in a scattered manner, they gathered into a massive force and charged towards the deepest part of the Black Tide.

Dragon breath, frost, lightning, fire... all sorts of powerful secret forces converged into an unstoppable torrent amidst the roars of the ancient dragons, forcefully tearing a passage through the [Black Tide].

It created a magnificent yet terrifying scene.

Xia En gripped the silver scale in his hand, feeling the powerful force contained within it.

He ordered, "Let's follow them!"

Under the cover of the ancient dragons, the Black Swan slowly sailed into the newly opened passage.

The surrounding black tide continued to churn, and filthy monsters kept pouring out of the darkness, trying to block their advance.

However, the ancient dragons' offensive was like a storm, repelling the monsters one by one.

The powerful cannons on the Black Swan continued firing, clearing a clean area.

As the Black Swan and the ancient dragons ventured deeper...

The concentration of the Kuroshio Current is also increasing.

A suffocating sense of oppression filled the air, making it difficult to even breathe.

The originally pitch-black sea of ​​clouds was gradually replaced by a deep red light.

The filthy monsters grew even larger and more ferocious, as if they were demons crawling out of the depths of hell.

Finally, after breaking through several layers of black tide barriers, Shane and the ancient dragons arrived at the core area of ​​the black tide.

The sight before them made everyone gasp in shock.

At the heart of the Black Tide, a gigantic black heart floats.

The heart beat continuously, and with each beat it released a large amount of foul and mysterious power, forming new black tides and monsters.

The surface of the heart was covered with twisted runes, radiating a suffocating malice.

"That's the source of the Kuroshio?"

On the deck, Joey murmured in shock.

Xia En narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of surprise flashing across his face.

Because he was no stranger to this heart-like filth.

Back then, the Giant Tree God of the City of Giant Trees appeared before him in the form of a heart.

However, as both are lackeys of [Hui Si Ming], it is quite normal for Him to have certain similarities with [Ju Mu Shen].

Xia En calmly issued the order.

"Let's work together and destroy that heart!"

At his command, the ancient dragons and the crew of the Black Swan launched their strongest attack simultaneously.

Dragon's breath, lightning, frost, storms, and arcane cannonballs—all the arcane power poured towards that black heart.

However, just as the attack was about to hit the heart...

A pitch-black barrier suddenly appeared, blocking all the attacks.

"what?!"

Xia En's pupils contracted, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, a low laugh came from the black heart.

"Foolish ants, do you think this will stop me?"

With a laugh, a crack appeared on the surface of the black heart, and a huge eye slowly opened.

That eye was filled with endless malice and madness, as if it could devour everything.

Its texture is remarkably similar to that of the [Great Sin Apostle].

But its aura leans more towards decay and decay.

If Shane wasn't mistaken, the source of that laughter was none other than the legendary [Corruption Apostle]!
However, judging from the aura of the black heart in front of me...

The one that descended upon the [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm] was not the [Corrupted Apostle] in its true form, but rather one of its avatars!
Even though it's just a clone, the aura it exudes is enough to make people feel suffocated.

That force of decay and decay seemed to erode all life, even making the surrounding air thick and heavy.

That's when.

The eye slowly moved toward the Black Swan where Shane was.

"Oh? This aura... is interesting."

The laughter of the Corrupted Apostle emanated from his eyeballs.

"You're the human who killed the [Great Sin], aren't you?"

"I didn't expect such an unexpected gain this time."

"Although I don't like that guy [Great Sin] either, since it's my lord's order, I can only ask you to die."

Xia En felt a chill run down his spine, sensing an unprecedented sense of oppression.

Although the [Corrupted Apostle] before me was only an avatar, its power still far surpassed that of ordinary enemies.

Those malicious eyes seemed to see through everything, striking straight into the depths of one's soul.

next moment.

The eye in the black heart suddenly opened wide, and a jet-black ray shot out from the pupil, heading straight for the Black Swan.

Xia En's heart skipped a beat, and a fleeting, empty light flashed in his eyes.

immediately.

The entire Black Swan ship suddenly vanished from its spot.

When it reappeared, it was dozens of meters away, thus avoiding the dark ray.

However, the dark ray did not disappear.

Instead, it twisted and turned in the air like a living thing, heading towards the Black Swan once again.

Wherever the rays passed, the air seemed to be corroded, leaving a dark trail and emitting a nauseating, rotten smell.

Clearly, this ray even possesses some kind of tracking ability.

Seeing this, Xia En took a deep breath.

The [Void Secret Power] within his body continued to condense.

Finally, after reaching a critical point, it burst forth with a roar.

A continuously rotating miniature black hole appeared in front of the Black Swan, intercepting the pitch-black ray.

The next moment.

The two sides collided violently.

But this collision was strangely silent.

They simply devoured and wore each other down, as if even the surrounding sounds were being swallowed up.

After a few breaths.

The dark rays disappeared into the air, but Shane's expression became even more solemn.
