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

Chapter 457 [Elf Reinforcements] [Killing the Ancient King]

Upon hearing Xia En's words, Yese's body trembled slightly.

But he didn't argue.

He knew this was the only way.

"I will help you."

Yese said in a deep voice, "The king's strength far surpasses that of ordinary [Ancient Spirit Clan]. Even when he is controlled, his power should not be underestimated."

Xia En nodded, his gaze once again fixed on the [Spirit King] in the distance.

"Take action."

The two quickly crossed the battlefield and sped towards the direction where the [Spirit King] was located.

Along the way, they avoided several groups of Ancient Spirits that were gathering.

The soldiers had empty eyes and mechanical movements, like soulless puppets.

However, just as they were about to approach the [Spirit King], a tall figure blocked their way.

He was a general of the Ancient Spirit Clan. His body was also covered with black patterns, but there was a hint of struggle in his eyes.

"Yese... Sage..."

The general's voice was hoarse and pained: "I...I can't control myself..."

A trace of sorrow flashed in Yese's eyes.

"Hold on! Your will remains; don't let the [Mind Flayer] completely devour you!"

The general's body trembled violently, and he could barely hold his weapon.

His eyes darted between clarity and confusion, clearly indicating that he was fiercely battling the control of the [Filthy Secret Power].

“Hurry… hurry up…”

The general said with difficulty.

"The king... he is no longer our king..."

"He...he will kill you all..."

Xia En and Yese exchanged a glance and quickly bypassed the general.

They knew that time was running out.

However, their actions ultimately failed to escape the notice of the nearby enemies.

Soon, several corrupted War Apes let out deafening roars, their scarlet eyes locking onto Shane and Yese.

Their massive bodies pressed down like mountains, wielding enormous fists that slammed into the two with devastating force.

"careful!"

Xia En let out a low shout and swiftly swung the long, black blade in his hand, unleashing a sharp sword aura that slashed towards the giant ape's fist.

boom!
The sword energy collided with the giant ape's fist, unleashing a tremendous impact.

Although the giant ape was instantly split in two.

But Xia En was also knocked back several steps, his brows furrowed.

These giant apes are stronger than before.

Clearly, the Mindbreakers infused them with even more tainted secret power.

"They're after us!"

Ye Sai quickly formed hand seals, and a green barrier unfolded around him and Xia En, barely blocking the giant ape's next wave of attacks.

However, more giant apes and wild beasts swarmed in from all directions, surrounding the two.

Shane and Yese stood back to back, facing a tidal wave of enemies, their situation extremely precarious.

"This won't do; we'll be worn down and die here!"

Yese said through gritted teeth, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

Xia En's gaze was solemn as he continuously swung his long blade, slaying several approaching beasts.

But the enemy was too numerous, and their defenses could collapse at any moment.

at this time.

On the distant city walls of Rhine, Jane and Joey noticed the unusual activity within the beast tide.

"That's... Lord Shane!"

Jane's pupils contracted, and she immediately realized that Xia En and the others were in danger.

"Joey, we must support them!"

Jane turned to look at Joey, her tone urgent.

Joey nodded, raising his staff high in the air.

Her white hair danced in the wind, and her red eyes gleamed with a resolute light.

"Storm, heed my command!"

As Joey gave a low shout, dark clouds gathered in the sky, accompanied by lightning and thunder.

A massive tornado descended from the sky, heading straight for the center of the beast tide.

Rumble!
The tornado swept through, engulfing dozens of giant apes and wild beasts, tearing them to pieces.

The storm's power temporarily opened a path to survival for Shane and Yese.

at the same time.

The cannons on the city wall fired continuously, providing fire support to Shane from afar.

However, the number of enemies was too great, and there was a considerable distance between them and [Rhine City].

Joey's support was also very limited and unable to completely turn the tide.

Before long, more giant apes and beasts filled the gap, surrounding Shane and Yese once again.

Xia En raised an eyebrow and glanced back at Yese.

With his ability to "traverse the void," he could naturally escape from such an encirclement.

However, Yese did not have the ability to escape from this place.

Yese quickly realized what was going on.

But just as he was about to speak...

A crisp ringing sound suddenly came from mid-air.

hum-

A dazzling light burst forth in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a huge spatial passage slowly opened.

Countless figures filed out of the passage, with An and Quinti leading the way!

"It's the Elven reinforcements!"

Xia En's heart skipped a beat, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

It was obvious that, thanks to Anqi and An's efforts, the passage between the two secret realms had finally stabilized.

This allowed the Elven warriors to provide support to [Rhine City].

Quinti, longbow in hand, her eyes gleaming like lightning, swiftly locked onto the enemy on the battlefield.

Her voice was clear and firm: "Warriors of the Elves, purify these corrupted enemies and bring light to the [Rhine Realm]!"

"Yes!"

The elven warriors responded in unison and quickly joined the battle.

They emanated pure life force, and the weapons in their hands shimmered with a luminous green light.

Quinti drew her longbow, and an arrow condensed from life force shot out instantly, striking a giant ape precisely in the forehead.

puff!

The arrow pierced the giant ape's skull, and a bright green light rapidly spread, purifying the [tainted secret power] within the giant ape's body.

The giant ape let out a painful roar, then collapsed to the ground, its body gradually returning to its original color.

"This is……"

Seeing this, Xia En raised an eyebrow.

He sensed that the weapons of the elves seemed to be imbued with a strange, mysterious power.

It seems to come from the Fountain of Life.

This secret power can be used to purify the corrupted Ancient Spirits.

at the same time.

Several elves waved their staffs and chanted ancient spells.

A massive magic circle appeared beneath their feet, and life force surged forth like a tide, enveloping the surrounding beasts and giant apes.

As they chanted their incantations, the beasts and giant apes controlled by the [Filthy Mystic Power] collapsed to the ground.

The black lines inside his body gradually faded, and his eyes regained their clarity.

The elven warriors surged into the battlefield like a green torrent.

Their life force has a strong restraining effect on [Filthy Secret Power].

Wherever they went, the enemies were all purged.

"Excellent! The elven reinforcements have arrived just in time!"

Yese said excitedly.

Xia En nodded, his gaze fixed on the King of the Ancient Spirit Clan in the distance. He knew this was their best chance.

"Yese, let's go!"

The two quickly crossed the battlefield and sped towards the direction where the Ancient Spirit King was located.

The elven warriors cleared a path for them, holding back most of the enemy.

Soon, Shane and Yese arrived before the king.

At this point, he was completely corrupted by the [Filthy Secret Power].

His body was covered in black markings, his eyes were bloodshot, and the twisted spear in his hand emitted a nauseating stench of decay.

"Your Majesty... wake up!"

Yeshe cried out in anguish, trying to awaken the king's will.

However, the king merely glanced at him coldly, then swung his spear straight at Yese's chest.

Xia En's gaze sharpened, and he swiftly swung the black longsword in his hand, unleashing a sharp sword aura carrying [Void Secret Power] as it slashed towards the king's spear.

"Qiang!"

The sword energy clashed with the spear, producing a piercing metallic clang.

Xia En felt a powerful recoil, and his body involuntarily took several steps back.

"What a powerful force!"

Upon exchanging blows, Xia En realized that his opponent was an eighth-level Mystic, just like himself!
“Foolish mortals, how dare you challenge my authority.”

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly swung his spear, sending a black energy wave straight toward Xia En.

The energy wave contained a strong [Law of Impurity], and wherever it passed, the air was corroded, making a "hissing" sound.

Xia En dared not be careless and quickly activated the [Void Law], his figure flashing and disappearing from the spot.

next moment.

He appeared beside the king, and suddenly slashed down with the long blade in his hand.

"Void Slash!"

A jet-black sword aura tore through space, heading straight for the king's neck.

However, Wang seemed to have anticipated this, and with a slight shift of his body, he easily dodged the attack.

At the same time, he suddenly raised his left hand, and a ball of black energy appeared in his palm.

"A foul touch!"

The energy ball instantly expanded, transforming into countless black tentacles that coiled around Xia En.

Xia En frowned, quickly retreated, and at the same time activated the [Source of Life] within his body.

Thanks to the gifts from Anhe [Goddess of Life], he is now able to grasp certain [Laws of Life].

And this power is precisely what counters the "Laws of Decay" of the "Apostles of Decay"!
A vibrant green light surged from Xia En's body, forming a barrier that kept the black tentacles at bay.

"Chichi-"

The black tentacles made contact with the life barrier, emitting a corrosive sound.

"Yesse, help me hold him off!"

Xia En gave a low shout, quickly adjusted his state, and prepared to launch the next round of attacks.

Yese nodded, his hands quickly forming a hand seal, and countless green vines rose from the ground, wrapping around the king's feet.

"Little tricks."

Wang snorted and stomped his foot, instantly shattering the vines.

However, in that instant, Shane launched another attack.

[Void Travel!]

His figure vanished instantly, reappearing above the king the next moment.

The blade in his hand was formed from the [Void Secret Power] and also possessed the characteristics of the [Law of Life].

The king's expression changed slightly, clearly sensing the threat posed by this attack.

He quickly raised his spear and held it above his head.

"boom!"

The blade of life clashed with the spear, unleashing a massive energy surge.

The king's body sank slightly, and the ground beneath his feet instantly cracked.

However, he remained firmly in place, clearly not having suffered any major injuries.

"interesting."

Wang smiled coldly, and with a sudden swing of his spear, forced Xia En back.

"But that's not enough!"

Before he finished speaking, his body suddenly swelled up, black lines spread rapidly, and he transformed into a huge black giant.

"A filthy body!"

The king's voice echoed across the battlefield like thunder.

His body was thoroughly strengthened by the [Law of Filth], increasing his power several times over.

Xia En felt a powerful sense of pressure, but he did not back down.

"Yesse, step back!"

He let out a low shout and quickly activated the secret power within his body.

The territory of the Great Dark Heaven expanded outwards, encompassing him and the King.

The difference from before is...

A unique vitality permeates the current [Great Dark Sky].

Those [Void Secret Powers] all seemed to possess a certain characteristic of endless vitality.

Like countless tiny yet unmistakable threads, they coiled around the king of the Ancient Spirit Clan.

"This is... the [Law of Life]?"

The king's expression changed slightly, clearly sensing the threat posed by this power.

He swiftly swung his spear, attempting to cut the coiled threads.

However, those mysterious threads seemed endless, and even if they were cut, they would quickly regenerate.

A hint of seriousness flashed in the eyes of the king, or rather, the [Mind-Stealing Apostle] who controlled him.

He clearly hadn't expected that Xia En's [Law of Life] could fuse so perfectly with [Void Secret Power], forming such an inescapable bond.

His body was entangled by those mysterious threads of power, and his movements gradually became sluggish.

It felt as if I had sunk into an invisible quagmire.

"You think you can trap me like this?"

The king's voice was deep and cold, with a hint of disdain.

His body shuddered violently, and black [filthy secret power] erupted from his body like a volcanic eruption, attempting to completely corrode those life threads.

However, Shane was prepared.

He gripped the long blade tightly with both hands, and the [Void Secret Power] and [Law of Life] within his body erupted simultaneously, forming a dazzling light.

His figure rushed towards the king like lightning, the blade pointing straight at the king's chest.

"cut!"

A sword light containing the power of two laws roared out, instantly tearing through space and heading straight for the king's heart.

A flicker of panic finally crossed the king's eyes. He quickly raised his spear, attempting to block the attack.

"boom!"

The sword energy collided with the spear, unleashing a deafening roar.

The king's body was thrown back several steps by the enormous impact, and the ground beneath his feet instantly cracked, forming a huge crater.

A tiny crack appeared on his spear.

Black, foul energy seeped from the cracks, as if it were wailing.

"Damn it!"

The king's body began to tremble, and the black patterns gradually became unstable, as if they were about to collapse at any moment.

Xia En gave him no chance to catch his breath and quickly launched the next attack.

His figure flashed around the king like a ghost, each appearance accompanied by a sharp sword aura.

Although Wang managed to hold on, he was clearly at a disadvantage.

"Yese, now!"

Xia En gave a low shout.

Yese had been preparing for a long time. He quickly formed hand seals and chanted ancient incantations.

A green light rose from his hand, transforming into countless tiny runes that swiftly flew around the king.

The runes wrapped around the king's body like chains, quickly suppressing the [Filthy Secret Power] within him.

Wang's body suddenly stiffened, and his movements came to a complete halt.

Seizing the opportunity, Xia En thrust out his long blade, aiming straight for the king's heart.

"ended."
