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

Chapter 491 [Plundering the Gods?]

The phantom of the [River of Blood] appeared behind Fei Ya.

Every drop of river water seems to contain the reflection of a world.

That vast and boundless aura instantly suppressed the beating of the Blood Moon's heart!

"This is impossible!"

For the first time, the voice of the Crimson Lord wavered.

"The River of Blood is actually favoring you so much?"

Fei Ya did not answer. He had already raised his golden-red longsword high, the blade pointing directly at the hideous blood moon heart.

immediately.

The light on the sword blade surged, transforming into a golden-red pillar of light that pierced through the heavens and earth!

The beam of light crashed down, instantly creating a deep, bone-revealing wound on the surface of the Blood Moon's heart.

Dark red blood gushed out like a waterfall, and the entire secret realm began to tremble violently!
The sky cracked open with countless spiderweb-like fissures.

The tendrils of blood vessels rooted in the void snapped one after another, writhing in agony in the void.

"Damn ants!"

The Crimson Lord's roar shook the heavens, and the Blood Moon's heart pounded wildly, attempting to heal its wounds.

But the power of the [River of Blood] is like a malignant sore, constantly eroding the wound.

“Now!”

A glint flashed in Xia En's eyes as he activated the [Void Law] at full power.

The pitch-black crack, like a sharp blade, cut into the most vulnerable part of the heart, intersecting and strangling with Fei Ya's sword light.

"Crack!"

With a deafening cracking sound, the enormous Blood Moon Heart finally split in two!
Dark red blood rained down, and the sound of collapses echoed throughout the secret realm.

Those vampires controlled by the Crimson Lord collapsed to the ground, the crimson in their eyes fading.

However, just as the dawn of victory was breaking...

A sudden change occurred!

The shattered heart fragments suddenly contracted violently, transforming into a blood-red vortex.

A pressure a hundred times more terrifying than before emanated from the depths of the vortex.

It's as if... some indescribable entity is trying to break through the boundaries.

Xia En's expression changed slightly.

This aura clearly belongs to the true form of the Crimson Lord, who wants to enter the Crimson Secret Realm!
Despite Feiya seemingly having the upper hand against the Blood Moon Heart in the sky.

But that was under the blessing of the [River of Blood].

In terms of actual rank, Fei Ya has only just broken through to the seventh rank.

The true form of that [Crimson Lord] is probably a ninth-order or even higher being!
Once His true form enters the Crimson Realm, all their previous efforts will be in vain.

Feiya also realized this, and her expression became extremely solemn, the light on her blood wings flickering.

Even with the blessing of the [River of Blood], the pressure of facing the true form of the god still left him breathless.

At this critical moment.

A glint of silver light suddenly appeared in the heart wreckage.

The light was initially as faint as a firefly, but it suddenly surged.

Countless silver runes emerged from the flesh and blood, weaving into a huge net that firmly sealed off the crimson vortex.

"This is……"

Xia En's pupils contracted slightly as he sensed a familiar aura emanating from the silver light.

That is……

Lyra's scent!
In fact, the reason why Shane and the others came to the Crimson Realm was to search for Lyra's whereabouts.

Previously, the [Fleeting Time] in Xia En's hand had not responded, making him think that he had come to the wrong place.

Unexpectedly, information about Lyra was hidden deep within the heart of this Blood Moon!

The silver light spread out like a tide, quickly covering the entire crimson vortex.

The runes shimmered with a mysterious light, each one containing the power of the laws of time and space.

An and Vivian wore complicated expressions.

"It really was her..."

As two parts separated from Lyra, how could they not recognize Lyra's aura?
next moment.

The silver rune network suddenly contracted, cutting the crimson vortex into countless fragments.

From the depths of the vortex came the furious and unwilling roar of the [Crimson Lord].

"It's you again! [Witch of Time]!"

"Do you think this will stop me?"

With this roar, a streak of blood-red light suddenly flew out from the vortex fragments, attempting to break through the runes' blockade.

But the forces left behind by Lyra were prepared.

The silver light transformed into a slender hand, which gently grasped and intercepted the streak of blood.

Followed by.

The hand gently moved, as if peeling away silk threads, removing the excess impurities from the blood-red light.

The remaining part was a small fragment of the Crimson Lord's soul!

Seeing this, Shane felt a chill run down his spine, vaguely guessing what Lyra was planning to do.

Suddenly, a bottle-shaped container appeared out of thin air.

With a flick of her slender hand, she placed the fragment of the soul into it.

at the same time.

From within the crimson vortex came the voice of the Crimson Lord, a voice tinged with resentment and fear.

"【The God of Blind Fools】..."

The Crimson Lord's voice abruptly stopped.

It was as if the connection had been severed by some invisible force.

The crimson vortex completely disintegrated under the strangulation of the silver runes, turning into a shower of blood that scattered across the sky.

Shaen keenly noticed that when the Crimson Lord uttered that name...

The silver light left behind by Lyra visibly trembled for a moment.

An indescribable sense of oppression enveloped everyone's hearts.

Even the projection of the [River of Blood] rippled with unease.

Then, both the silver runes and the container holding the soul fragments vanished before everyone's eyes.

A huge storm was raging in Xia En's heart.

Previously in the [Eternal Darkness Realm], Lyra, under the instructions of the [God of Blind Fools], collected samples of [Filthy Fate].

And now, He has taken away the soul of the Crimson Lord!

No matter how you look at it, this matter has an odd feel to it.

and……

"【The Witch of Time】?"

Shaun raised an eyebrow: "Back in the [Eternal Darkness Realm], wasn't Lyra known as the [Time Witch]?"

This subtle difference in address caught Shane's attention.

He had a vague feeling that there might be an important clue about Leila's identity hidden behind this.

While Xia En was pondering...

The entire Crimson Realm began to undergo earth-shattering changes.

The blood moon in the sky completely disintegrated, turning into countless points of light and disappearing.

Instead, a bright, clear moon appeared.

The stench of blood that had filled the air gradually faded, and a fresh and ancient power began to emerge.

The blood-red wings on Fei Ya's back trembled slightly.

He could clearly sense that the [River of Blood] was taking back control of this secret realm!
After being deprived of the pollution from the Crimson Lord, the water in the Holy Blood Lake became clear and transparent at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The lake surface shimmered with a golden-red light, as if countless stars had sunk to the bottom of the water.

Alcain and the surviving [Holy Bloodline] warriors knelt on the ground, feeling the long-lost pure power in their blood.

"it's over……"

The blood-red wings on Fei Ya's back slowly retracted.

The golden-red light in their eyes gradually faded, returning to their original rose-gold color.

His body swayed slightly, clearly indicating that the battle had taken a toll on his strength.

Xia En stepped forward and supported him: "Are you alright?"

Feiya shook her head, revealing a tired yet relieved smile.

"I'm just a little exhausted."

"The power of the [River of Blood] is too immense."

Joey and the others gathered around, their faces beaming with the joy of victory.

"We really defeated a god!" exclaimed String Song excitedly. "No, just His projection."

Xia En corrected him, his gaze still serious.

"The true form of the Crimson Lord still exists within the Secret Sea."

"and……"

He thought of Lyra and that mysterious name, but didn't say it aloud for the time being.

At this moment, Alcain came over with the surviving [Holy Bloodline].

They knelt on one knee and performed an ancient ritual for Phia.

"Your Highness, no, you should now be called King."

Al-Kain's voice was filled with awe.

"You have liberated our race, and according to tradition, you are the new King of the Vampires."

Upon hearing this, Fei Ya shook her head.

"I have no intention of becoming a king."

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, he continued speaking.

"Although the Crimson Lord has been banished, the vampires need a fresh start, not another ruler."

He looked at Xia En, his rose-gold eyes gleaming with determination.

"Captain Shane, I have a request."

"Please say."

Feiya continued, "I want to establish trade between the Crimson Realm and the Rhine Realm."

"The vampires have lived in this secluded realm for far too long; it's time for them to see the wider world."

Xia En quickly understood what Fei Ya meant.

Vampires are a race due to their racial characteristics.

Bringing them directly to the [Rhine Secret Realm] would be irresponsible.

There is a possibility that conflicts between different races may escalate.

But on the other hand.

At this moment, the crisis in the Crimson Realm is far from being addressed.

Let's not even discuss whether the Crimson Lord will make a comeback.

Beyond the territories of the [Holy Bloodline], there are also numerous [Dirty Bloodline] forces eyeing the land with predatory intent.

The best solution is for the vampires to remain in the Crimson Realm.

However, like [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm] and [Elf Secret Realm], they have established a cooperative and mutually beneficial relationship with [Rhine Secret Realm].

In case of any crisis, they can provide timely assistance.

After thinking for a moment, Shane nodded and said, "That's a good idea."

"However, the trade route between the Crimson Realm and the Rhine Realm needs to be carefully planned."

"After all, the characteristics of vampires... might cause some unnecessary panic."

Feiya nodded understandingly: "I understand."

"We can start with some harmless resource exchanges, such as the ores and herbs unique to the Crimson Realm."

"As for other aspects, we can take it slowly."

At this moment, Alkain interjected, "Your Highness, regarding those [tainted blood descendants]..."

When this was mentioned, Fei Ya's expression turned serious.

"They are victims too."

"Under the schemes of the Crimson Lord, the Bloodstained Bloodline was forced to hunt down their own kind."

"But now, the River of Blood has been reconnected, and they have a chance to return to normal."

Xia En agreed, "That's right."

"However, this process may take time."

"Those 'tainted blood descendants' who have been twisted for so long will probably not accept change easily."

Feiya said firmly, "I will personally communicate with them."

"If the power of the River of Blood cannot purify them, then there is no other way."

Looking at Fei Ya, Xia En suddenly realized that this former mechanic had grown a lot.

He not only shouldered the responsibility of saving his race, but also demonstrated the breadth of vision and commitment expected of a leader.

"If you need any help, just ask."

Xia En patted him on the shoulder.

Fia gave a grateful smile: "Thank you."

Just then, Vivian suddenly spoke up: "Captain Shane, um..."

She pointed to the sky.

"Did Lyra's things just disappear like that?"

Xia En's expression immediately became complicated.

He certainly hadn't forgotten that their initial purpose in coming to the Crimson Realm was to find clues about Lyra.

And now, Lyra has indeed appeared.

In a way they had never expected.

"Leila..."

Xia En looked up at the sky, where everything had returned to calm, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

But Shane knew that Lyra had indeed been there.

Or rather, she had already left a backup plan here.

"She took away a fragment of the Crimson Lord's soul."

Xia En said in a low voice, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Just like in the [Eternal Darkness Realm]."

"But why did she do that?"

Joey asked, puzzled.

"The God of Blind Fools... what exactly is that?"

This question silenced everyone.

That name seemed to carry some kind of taboo power; just thinking about it made people feel uncomfortable.

Xia En shook his head: "It's too early to discuss this now."

"However, at least we've confirmed one thing: Lyra seems to have been carrying out some kind of mission."

Ann said softly, "She is collecting fragments of the souls of gods."

Vivian nodded, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

"But is this truly her will, or...?"

If this is the command of the [blind and foolish god].

So, what would be His purpose in doing this?
at this time.

Xia En remembered something and took out the [Fleeting Time] that had just resonated with the silver light in the sky.

The silver compass needle kept spinning, pointing once again to a brand new coordinate in the [Secret Sea].

Having obtained new coordinates should have been a good thing.

But Xia En couldn't feel relaxed.

The coordinates he obtained these times were all from the [Secret Realm] that Lyra had visited before.

It's like chasing after a bubble that has already vanished.

Although Shane had a premonition that as he continued his search, he would eventually meet the real Lyra.

But then, how should he face Layla, who has lost her memory?

Xia En stared at the flickering coordinates on [Fleeting Time], his mind filled with countless thoughts.

Every time they searched for Lyra's trail, it felt like unraveling a mystery.

From the Eternal Dark Realm to the Crimson Realm, Lyra always seemed to be one step ahead of him, leaving her mark in those hidden corners.

However, after solving one mystery, you often encounter an even bigger one.

"call……"

Xia En let out a long breath.

He was never indecisive or hesitant by nature.

Therefore, the inner turmoil and emotions only lasted for a very short time.

"Captain, are we heading to this new coordinates next?"

Joey asked softly.

Xia En put away the compass and nodded.

"Yes, but before that, we need to settle the vampires in the Crimson Realm."
