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

Chapter 504 Another [Seven Seas World]

Inside the Cathedral of Radiance.

Xia En's gaze swept over everyone present, and he spoke solemnly.

"In order to defeat the [Corrupted Apostle]."

"I need your help."

A brief silence fell over the prayer room.

Latiwen spoke first.

"Captain Shane, we are certainly willing to help you eliminate the Corrupted Apostle."

"But the question is, what should we do?"

Without hesitation, Xia En spoke directly.

"In fact, what I need is... divinity!"

"...Divinity?"

Heller pondered the word carefully and vaguely guessed Shane's intention.

Xia En's current level is vastly different from what it used to be.

I have also gained some understanding of the once incredibly mysterious divinity.

The so-called divinity is actually a kind of secret power characteristic that is above the ninth level.

It is determined by the different laws governed by each deity.

This characteristic is so powerful that it can instinctively influence and contaminate lower-level mystical powers.

When applied to weaker Mystics, it can also cause a shift in their Mystic Power characteristics.

But the other way around.

Only power of this level can interfere with, or even harm, the Corrupted Apostles.

As an ancient flame from the depths of the Secret Sea, the Lord of Cinder holds an incredibly high position.

His power can be described as possessing a kind of "divinity".

As for the Lord of Immense Radiance of the [Radiant Sect] and the Lord of the Deep Abyss of the [Deep Abyss Sect], they are both extremely terrifying deities.

Shaen suspected that they, like the "Filthy Fate" behind the "Corrupted Apostles," were third-level beings.

Therefore, if one could obtain the divinity of these deities.

This would greatly increase Shane's chances of defeating the Corrupted Apostle.

Yan Yan's illusory flames swayed slightly as he spoke in a deep voice.

"Shane, are you trying to use divinity to fight against the Corrupted Apostles?"

Xia En nodded: "That's right, only divinity can fight against divinity."

Heller and Lattywen exchanged a glance and, without any hesitation, stated their positions directly.

"no problem."

"Divinity is precious, but we are willing to give it up in order to fight against the Corrupted Apostles."

"But the vessel containing divinity is not here; please wait for us to retrieve it."

Xia En nodded: "Okay."

……

……

The next day.

at the same time.

Shane and the others returned to the Cathedral of Radiance.

Latiwen walked up to Shane and took out a crystal that emitted a soft light from her bosom.

"This is the sacred relic passed down through generations of the [Radiant Sect] - the [Core of Billions of Radiant Light]."

"Contains a wisp of divinity from the Lord of Billions of Radiance."

Heller smiled sinisterly and pulled a wisp of dark mist from his sleeve.

"The Dark Abyss Breath of the Dark Sect also possesses the divinity of the Dark Lord."

"However, Captain Shane, you must use it carefully, as this power is not so easy to control."

Xia En accepted the two sacred objects, feeling the powerful divinity contained within them, and nodded solemnly.

"Thank you."

The illusory image of Yan Yan's flames also flickered slightly.

Then, a wisp of blazing golden flame separated from his body.

"This is my source of the [Old Flame], it's not much, but it should be able to help you."

Xia En raised an eyebrow: "Your current state..."

Will separating this origin cause you harm?

Yan Yan said with a smile.

"Don't forget, the most important characteristic of the [Old Flame] is that it is everlasting."

"Besides, what is this price to pay for the safety of the Seven Seas World?"

Anbing stood beside Yan Yan, not saying a word, but her eyes revealed firm support.

Xia En took a deep breath and carefully put away the three divine essences.

“With these divine attributes, I am even more confident.”

After a moment's hesitation, Latiwen asked, "Lord Shain, when do you plan to depart?"

Xia En's gaze was firm: "The sooner the better."

"The true form of the Corruption Apostle is approaching our world. Every second of delay increases the danger."

"In addition, Lattywen and Heller, I hope you can also board the Black Swan and travel together to another Seven Seas World."

"As for Miss Dark Ice..."

Dark Ice smiled slightly: "What? Captain Xia En doesn't think much of my strength?"

Her aura expanded slightly, revealing her strength at the eighth level.

Xia En was slightly surprised: "Miss Dark Ice, you've also advanced to the eighth rank?"

Anbing gently stroked the hair by her ear and said calmly, "I gained some insights in the far north, and with Yan Yan's guidance, the breakthrough was just a natural progression."

A gentle laugh came from within the illusory image of blazing flames.

"Bing'er's talent was originally exceptional, but she was troubled by her inner conflict in the past."

Xia En nodded: "If that's the case, then that's perfect."

"With your help, our chances of success on this trip will increase even further."

Heller said in a sinister tone, "Captain Shane, don't be too happy yet."

"The true form of the Corruption Apostle is not so easy to deal with."

"As far as I know, He has almost devoured the entire world in another [Seven Seas World]."

"His strength has probably reached an unimaginable level."

Xia En's expression turned serious: "I understand."

"That's precisely why we need to take the initiative."

"If we wait for Him to fully descend into our world, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Latiwen asked softly, "Lord Shain, when shall we depart?"

Xia En pondered for a moment: "Three days later."

"During this period, I need to initially integrate the three divine elements, and I also need to prepare the crew."

"We will meet at [Liuli Port] three days later at dawn."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

……

……

Three days later.

The harbor was shrouded in a thin mist in the early morning.

At the dock, the Black Swan rested quietly, its dark hull, interspersed with silvery white, shimmering faintly in the morning light.

Xia En stood at the bow of the ship, his gaze sweeping over the people who were boarding one after another.

Latiwen changed into a white battle robe that allowed for easy movement, with the holy sword symbolizing the authority of the [Radiant Cult] hanging at her waist.

Heller still had a gloomy look, but his eyes held a hint of seriousness.

Anbing, dressed in a black outfit, looked dashing and heroic, a stark contrast to her usual image.

On the deck, there was another figure, unrelated to Shane's plan.

It was none other than Benny, the war-mongering maniac, dressed in military uniform.

Benny is now a legendary powerhouse.

He stood straight on the deck, his gaze fixed firmly on Shane.

"Lord Shaen, please allow me to accompany you."

Shane was somewhat surprised: "Benny, this operation is extremely dangerous. Are you sure you want to participate?"

Benedict grinned, revealing his signature arrogant smile.

"Danger? That's exactly what I'm after!"

“Besides, the Federation needs someone to witness this cross-world expedition.” After a moment’s thought, Shane nodded and said, “Alright, let’s go together.”

Just then, General Moritz arrived at the dock with a group of soldiers.

He called out loudly, "Shane, the Federation has prepared some supplies for you, and we hope they will come in handy."

Soldiers carried several sealed metal crates aboard the Black Swan.

Xia En scanned it with his divine sense and found that it was filled with highly concentrated mystic crystals and various alchemical weapons.

"Thank you, General."

General Moritz gave a solemn military salute: "Congratulations on your triumphant return!"

"set off!"

With a command from Shane, the Black Swan slowly rose and headed north.

The atmosphere on the ship was both tense and exciting.

Everyone knew they were about to embark on an unprecedented journey.

Standing on the ship's railing, gazing at the receding [Liuli Island], Xiange asked softly.

"Captain, can we really defeat the Corrupted Apostle?"

Xia En walked to her side, her gaze firm: "It's definitely possible."

“We possess three divine natures, and we have so many partners.”

"more importantly……"

He looked into the distance: "This is our world, and we will never allow foreign invaders to set foot in it!"

The Black Swan sped forward and soon reached the edge of the Sea of ​​Annihilation.

The seawater here has an eerie gray-black color.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and lightning flashed from time to time.

A suffocating sense of oppression filled the air.

Is this the boundary between two worlds?

Latiwen sensed the unusual spatial fluctuations around her, her expression grave.

Heller said ominously, "I can sense that the spatial structure here is extremely fragile."

"A slight misstep could lead to falling into a spatial rift and never being able to escape."

Xia En nodded: "So we need to pinpoint the coordinates of another [Seven Seas World]."

As he spoke, Xia En looked at Vivian standing to the side.

This former "Witch of Annihilation" came from another "Seven Seas World".

Seeing Xia En's gaze, Vivian did not hesitate, and a sharp light shone in her heterochromatic eyes, one purple and one green.

Subsequently.

Vivian's eyes seemed to reflect the scene of another world.

She whispered, "I can feel... the call from that world."

“There, the power of the Corruption Apostle has permeated every corner.”

"But it is precisely because of this that we can follow His corrupting power and lock onto the coordinates in reverse!"

Xia En nodded: "Very good, Vivian, you take the lead."

"Little Black, prepare to cross the spatial barrier!"

【Yes, master! 】

The hull of the Black Swan began to tremble slightly, and silver-white arcane patterns lit up on the deck.

It's precisely the ability to [traverse secret realms]!

next moment.

boom--!
The space ahead shattered like a mirror, revealing a deep vortex passage.

Inside the passage, countless twisted black tentacles tried to spread out, but were all blocked by the protective shield of the Black Swan.

"Everyone, hold your ground!"

With a shout, the Black Swan accelerated and plunged into the spatial tunnel!

……

……

Amidst violent tremors.

Everyone felt a sudden darkness before their eyes, as if they had fallen into an endless abyss.

After an unknown amount of time, when their vision returned, the sight before them made everyone gasp in shock.

This is a world that has been thoroughly corrupted.

The sky was a sickly dark purple, with countless black tentacles writhing and twisting like living creatures within the thick clouds.

The sea surface had completely turned into a viscous black liquid, emitting a nauseating stench.

As far as the eye can see, there is nothing but black tide!

In the distance, the outlines of several islands are faintly visible.

However, the surface was covered with a thick black fungal carpet, and pus-like substances kept seeping out from the cracks.

Life seemed to have been stripped away from this world long ago.

"This is... another [Seven Seas World]?"

Joey's voice trembled slightly.

Shaun nodded gravely: "It seems the [Corruption Apostles]' influence on this world is more severe than we imagined."

Just then, Carles suddenly sounded an alarm.

"Captain! There are strong signs of life underwater!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the black sea suddenly began to boil!

Countless deformed monsters burst forth from the water.

Some of them resemble a twisted combination of fish and humans, while others are indescribable creatures made purely of carrion and tentacles.

These monsters let out piercing screams and charged madly at the Black Swan!
“Prepare for battle!”

At Shane's command, the crew immediately went into battle mode.

With a wave of his staff, Joey unleashed several water tornadoes that shot into the sky, shredding any approaching monsters into pieces.

The stringed song transformed into a giant dragon, spewing out its breath and sweeping across the sea.

Xia En did not make a move, but stood at the bow of the ship, gazing solemnly into the distance.

He could sense that in the depths of the distant sea, a vast and suffocating evil force was awakening.

That was their real goal for this trip—

The true form of the Corrupted Apostle!

He calmed himself down and began to take control of the divinity that Latiwen and the other two had sent him.

Because once divinity leaves its respective container, it begins to overflow and dissipate.

Shaen could only attempt to use them after arriving at this [Seven Seas World].

A dazzling glow, a deep black mist, and blazing golden flames slowly spun in his palm.

Guided by the mystical power, three distinct divine natures began to intertwine.

This process is extremely dangerous; the slightest mistake could trigger a horrific explosion.

However, Xia En's control over the secret power has reached a state of perfection.

Under his careful manipulation, the three divine elements gradually formed a delicate balance.

Finally, a three-colored crystal longsword took shape in Shane's palm.

Inside the crystal sword, three divine elements flowed like living things, emanating a heart-pounding aura.

"Success!"

Xia En breathed a long sigh of relief.

With this sword, he was confident he could confront the Corrupted Apostle head-on!
Just then, Carles sounded the alarm again.

"Captain! A giant island has been spotted ahead!"

"Wait...that's not an island! That's..."

Following the direction, everyone looked and saw an indescribably enormous creature lying on the distant horizon.

It resembled a mountain of flesh formed from countless piles of decaying matter, its surface covered with wriggling tentacles and distorted human faces.

Just looking at it makes one feel dizzy and mentally polluted.

Even more terrifying.

This "mountain of flesh" continues to grow and expand, devouring everything around it like a living creature.

"That's... the true form of the [Corrupted Apostle]?"

Joey's voice trembled slightly.

Shaun's expression turned grave: "No, that's only a part of Him."

"His true form must be hidden somewhere in this world."

"But destroying this clone will also severely damage Him!"

As the Black Swan approached, the "mountain of flesh" seemed to sense the threat.

It began to writhe violently, and countless tentacles shot into the sky like javelins!
