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

Chapter 451 [A Golden Rain]

The voice just fell.

Xia En's figure flashed again, the long blade in his hand like the scythe of death, swiftly reaping the lives of these [Ancient Spirits].

A moment later, all the members of the Ancient Spirit Clan on the ancient tree fell down, and the flute music completely disappeared.

As the flute music stopped, the giant apes and wild beasts in the forest gradually returned to calm.

Some of the wild beasts seemed to awaken from their daze and hurriedly retreated back into the forest.

The previously surging tide of beasts suddenly came to a halt.

The giant apes seemed to have lost their command, and they began to fight individually, their attacks becoming chaotic and disorganized.

Xia En stood on the ancient tree and let out a long sigh of relief.

He knew that he had successfully severed the Ancient Spirit Clan's control over the beast tide, and the pressure on the city walls would be greatly reduced.

However, he did not let his guard down.

Because he knew that the threat of the Mind Flayers had not been completely eliminated, and the real crisis might have just begun.

"We must return to the city walls as soon as possible and prepare for the upcoming battle."

With a flash, Xia En sped off towards [Rhine City].

……

On the city wall, Jane and the others had already noticed the changes in the forest.

As the beast tide gradually receded, the giant apes' offensive weakened, and the pressure on the city walls suddenly eased.

"Shane succeeded!"

A flicker of joy flashed in Jane's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

She knew it wasn't time to relax yet.

In fact, even the Ancient Spirit Clan's attack itself may have been just a probe.

Not long after.

Shain's figure flashed like a black lightning bolt, swiftly returning to the city walls of Rhine.

His breathing was slightly rapid, but his eyes remained sharp as knives.

Sha Jingjing immediately came to greet her, her eyes full of concern.

"Shane, are you alright?"

Sha Jingjing's voice was tinged with nervousness as she quickly scanned his entire body to check for any injuries.

Xia En shook his head and gave a faint smile.

"I'm fine, I just used up some of my secret power."

"I have dealt with the Ancient Spirits in the forest, so the beast tide's offensive should be greatly reduced."

Sha Jingjing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's time to clean up the rest of those guys."

After Shane returned to Rhine City, he immediately began organizing the clearing out of the remaining enemies in the vicinity.

String Song, Fei Ya, and the warriors in the city all sprang into action.

String Song spread its enormous dragon wings and soared into the sky.

The scorching dragon breath poured down like fire rain, incinerating the giant apes and beasts that were still lingering near the city walls.

Her dragon roar shook the heavens and earth, intimidating the remaining enemies and forcing them to retreat.

Feiya stood atop the city wall, her steam-powered gun continuously spewing out scorching shells.

Every shell hit its target precisely, blasting the giant apes that tried to approach the city walls to smithereens.

His eyes were cold and his movements were swift and decisive.

It's like a ruthless war machine.

Sha Jingjing stood on the other side of the city wall, her bow and arrow in her hand like the gaze of death.

Each draw of the bowstring was accompanied by the release of a dark yellow arrow, which accurately struck the enemy's vitals.

Her arrows were not only fast, but also contained powerful secret energy.

It can easily penetrate the black mist barrier of ferocious beasts and strike their core.

Standing on the city wall, Shane scanned the battlefield, confirming that the remaining enemies posed no threat.

But soon, Jane walked up to him and reminded him.

"Captain Shane, the corpses of those giant apes and beasts... something seems off."

Xia En followed Jane's gaze and looked down at the city wall.

A thin layer of black mist lingered around the corpses of the fallen giant apes and beasts.

These mists seemed to have a life of their own, slowly seeping into the ground and even beginning to spread into the air.

"【Filthy Secret Power】..."

Xia En murmured softly, his gaze gradually becoming serious.

He leaped lightly and arrived around the corpses.

Then, Shane reached out and touched the ground, feeling a cold and evil power seeping out from the soil.

The black mist seemed to be eroding everything around it, even making the air murky.

"These [filthy secrets] are polluting the soil and air."

Xia En stood up, his tone heavy.

"If left unchecked, the environment around Rhine City will be completely corrupted, and it may even affect the residents of the city."

Jane's expression also turned grim: "No wonder the [Heartbreaker] manipulated the [Ancient Spirits] to launch this attack."

"Their goal is not just to capture Rhine City."

"Furthermore, they want to spread the [Filthy Secret Power] across this land through the death of the beast tide."

Xia En nodded, his gaze sweeping over the crowd on the city wall, and said in a deep voice.

"We must cleanse these [filthy secret powers] as soon as possible, or the consequences will be unimaginable."

He turned to the soldiers on the city wall and shouted, "Attention, everyone!"

"Immediately clear away the corpses of the giant apes and beasts below the city walls, and be extremely careful of the black mist!"

"Those who follow the secret path should use their secret power to purify, while others should use flames to burn it. We must not allow the [tainted secret power] to continue to spread!"

Following Shane's command, the warriors on the city wall sprang into action.

The secret practitioners used their respective secret techniques in an attempt to purify the black mist.

Flames ignited below the city walls, and the carcasses of the beasts gradually turned to ashes in the flames.

However, those [filthy secret powers] seem to be more stubborn than imagined.

Even under the burning flames, they stubbornly clung to the soil and even began to spread further afield.

"Ordinary flames and arcane arts have limited effect on these [tainted arcane powers]."

Jane frowned and said, "We need more powerful purification methods."

And this time.

Xia En thought of the passage between the [Elf Realm] and the [Rhine Realm].

The previous Purification Stone has already been used on the Fountain of Life in the Elf Realm.

If the secret power of the Fountain of Life could be transmitted to the Rhine Realm through that passage...

Perhaps this will purify these [filthy secret powers].

Shane made a quick decision and turned to Jane.

"I need to return to the [Elven Realm] immediately and use the power of the [Fountain of Life] to purify these [tainted mystical forces]."

"You continue to command from here and ensure the safety of the city walls."

Jane nodded, her gaze resolute.

"Don't worry, I'll hold this place. Come back as soon as possible."

Without saying much, Xia En quickly activated the [Empty Beast Heart Seal], and his figure flashed, disappearing from the spot.

……

In 【Mysterious Realm of Elves】.

Angie and An are still doing their best to maintain the stability of the ritual.

The energy fluctuations within the light gate have become much more stable than before, no longer appearing ethereal or indistinct.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Angie's forehead as her hands moved rapidly across the emerald crystal, chanting ancient incantations in a low voice.

Anze stood beside the Fountain of Life.

With hands gently touching the spring water, the secret power within the body resonates with the spring water, guiding its power into the ritual.

Just then, Shane suddenly appeared beside them. "Captain Shane!"

Anqi and An exclaimed in surprise at the same time, a hint of astonishment flashing in their eyes.

Xia En didn't have time to explain further and spoke directly.

“A new situation has emerged on the battlefield of [Rhine City].

"The [Filthy Power] is polluting the land and air; we need to use the power of the [Fountain of Life] to purify them."

Angie immediately understood Xia En's intention. She nodded, her tone urgent.

“I understand. I will immediately adjust the ritual to transfer the power of the Fountain of Life to the Rhine Realm.”

Xia En nodded: "The sooner the better, time is of the essence."

Without saying much, Angie quickly began adjusting the ritual.

Her hands moved rapidly across the emerald crystal as she chanted increasingly complex incantations in a low voice.

As she moved, the energy fluctuations within the light gate gradually intensified.

A dazzling beam of light shot out from the crystal, soaring straight into the sky.

"An, continue to guide the power of the Fountain of Life to ensure a stable energy flow."

Angie's voice carried a hint of urgency.

An nodded, and touched the spring water with both hands again, the secret power within her body resonating rapidly with the spring water.

The light in the spring water intensified again, flowing like a gentle stream into the gate of light.

Xia En stood to the side, his eyes fixed on the energy fluctuations within the portal.

He could sense that the power of the Fountain of Life was gradually being transmitted to the Rhine Realm through the ritual.

"Success!"

Angie said happily.

Her hands continued to move rapidly across the emerald crystal, ensuring the stability of the ritual.

"The power of the Fountain of Life has been successfully transferred to the Rhine Realm."

"Next, all we need to do is guide this power to purify those [filthy secret forces]."

Xia En nodded, his gaze firm: "Ms. Angie, you continue to maintain the stability of the ritual."

"I will return to [Rhine City] and guide the power of the [Fountain of Life] to purify it."

Anqi frowned slightly, her tone tinged with worry.

"Captain Shane, the power of the Fountain of Life is indeed great."

"But its purification process can trigger violent energy fluctuations, so you need to be careful."

Xia En gave a confident smile: "Don't worry, I will act cautiously."

After saying that, he activated the [Empty Beast Heart Seal] again and traveled back to the [Rhine Secret Realm].

……

On the walls of Rhine City, Jane and the others were still frantically clearing away the corpses of giant apes and wild beasts below the walls.

Despite the warriors' best efforts, the [tainted secret power] stubbornly clung to the soil.

It even began to spread to deeper areas.

Jane's expression was grave. She knew that their combined strength was probably insufficient to completely eradicate these [tainted secret forces].

Just then, Shane's figure suddenly appeared on the city wall.

"Shane!"

A flicker of joy flashed in Jane's eyes, and she quickly walked to his side: "How is it?"

Xia En nodded, his tone calm.

"The power of the Fountain of Life has been successfully transferred to the Rhine Realm."

"Next, I will guide this power to purify these [filthy secret forces]."

Jane breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"Great, we finally have a way to deal with these [Filthy Secret Powers]."

Without saying much, Xia En quickly walked to the edge of the city wall and glanced at the battlefield below.

He could sense that the power of the Fountain of Life had gradually arrived above Rhine City through the ritual.

As the Lord of the Rhine, no one could perceive this external power more clearly than him.

"let's start."

Xia En murmured softly, his inner power quietly surging.

Resonate with that invisible force.

He slowly raised his hands, palms facing upwards, as if supporting some invisible force.

As he moved, a faint golden light gradually appeared in the air.

These rays of light, like tiny specks, drifted slowly down from the sky, sprinkling onto the land polluted by the [tainted secret power].

The entire scene resembled a grand, golden rain descending upon the territory of [Rhine City].

"Om-"

The golden light emitted a slight buzzing sound the moment it touched the black mist.

Immediately afterwards, the black mist seemed to have encountered its natural enemy and began to dissipate rapidly.

"efficient!"

A look of delight flashed in Jane's eyes.

She could clearly feel that the air around her was gradually becoming fresher.

Xia En did not stop, continuing to guide the power of the [Fountain of Life].

More and more golden specks appeared, gradually forming a golden rain of light that covered the entire battlefield.

The soil that had been contaminated by the [Filthy Secret Power] gradually regained its original color under the baptism of the light rain.

The black fog was completely purified, and a fresh scent filled the air.

The soldiers on the city wall also felt this power, and they all stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sky.

"This is... the power of the Fountain of Life?"

Sha Jingjing murmured softly, her eyes filled with shock.

She could sense that this power not only purified the [Filthy Secret Power].

It also made her feel a warmth, as if all her fatigue had been swept away.

Even the secret power within the sand crystals has been slightly enhanced.

Its already legendary aura has been elevated even further.

"I...I've broken through!"

Within the city, a warrior from the Moonlit Clan couldn't help but let out a joyful exclamation.

And there was more than one such voice!
These warriors had already endured a fierce battle, and now they were further baptized by the Fountain of Life.

With his secret power replenished, he naturally broke through his original rank.

foreseeable.

After this battle, the overall combat strength of the warriors of [Rhine City] will see a significant boost.

Standing on the city wall, Xia En glanced at the battlefield below and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The power of the Fountain of Life was indeed formidable; it not only successfully purified the Filthy Secret Power but also significantly enhanced the warriors in the city.

Although the battle was difficult, the result was unexpectedly good.

"Shane, you did it!"

Jane walked to his side and sighed.

Xia En smiled slightly, his tone tinged with weariness.

"This is all thanks to everyone."

"Without your perseverance, this battle would not have been won."

Jane shook her head, her gaze resolute: "No, it was you who led us through this crisis."

"Without you, Rhine City would probably have fallen long ago."

Xia En didn't say anything more, but just looked into the depths of the forest.

He knew that the battle had temporarily come to an end.

However, the threat of the Mind Flayer has not been completely eliminated.

They must prepare as soon as possible to meet the potentially greater challenges that may come.
