Investing in the Empress's junior sister, she broke through her defenses after comparison.

Deep in the vast ocean and starry sea.

A huge, floating island, its entire body a sinister dark red.

This is Black Shark Island.

On the island, the architecture is rough and barbaric, with huge animal bones used as beams and pillars, rare minerals piled up haphazardly in corners, and the air filled with a strong smell of blood and cheap liquor.

Countless ferocious pirates roamed back and forth, their murderous aura almost tangible; each one a desperate fugitive who licked blood from the edge of a knife.

At the very center of the island, inside a palace carved from the skull of a giant beast.

A burly, one-eyed man with a face full of scars sat arrogantly on a throne made of countless bones.

He is Black Shark, the leader of the Black Shark Pirate Crew and a powerful expert at the God-King Realm.

"Judging by the time, the third brother should be back by now, right?"

Black Shark grabbed a trembling female cultivator next to him, bit her fair neck, and sucked her source energy and essence blood, speaking indistinctly.

The female cultivator let out a shrill scream, her body rapidly withering away, but the surrounding pirates ignored it and instead burst into laughter.

Beneath the Black Shark's throne stood a gaunt man with a sinister face.

A black venomous snake with its tongue flicking was coiled around his arm.

This man is none other than Black Snake, the second-in-command of the Black Shark Pirate Crew.

Black Snake gave a sinister smile and said, "Don't worry, Big Brother. Don't you know how Third Brother handles things? A fleet of a thousand men can easily capture a few greenhorns."

"I'm just curious what treasures those little kids have that would make Third Brother so interested, even using a code word like 'fat sheep'."

Black Shark casually tossed aside the female cultivator who had turned into a dried corpse, licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, and a greedy look appeared on his face.

"No matter what treasure it is, it will all be ours when the third brother comes back!"

"Hahaha!"

The entire hall was instantly filled with wild laughter.

at this time.

A pirate responsible for guarding the Soul Palace stumbled in, his face filled with utter horror.

"Boss... Boss! Something terrible has happened!"

Black Shark's laughter abruptly stopped, a fierce light flashed in his single eye, and a terrifying divine king's aura instantly enveloped the entire hall.

"What kind of behavior is this, all flustered and in such a state!"

"What happened?"

The pirate was forced to his knees by the oppressive aura, trembling all over, his teeth chattering.

"The soul tablet... the soul tablet is broken!"

Black Snake's expression changed, and the venomous snake on his arm also raised its head impatiently.

"How many broke?"

The pirate, his voice trembling with tears, nearly fainted.

"No...it wasn't just a few that broke..."

"It's...it's all shattered!"

what? !

Black Shark and Black Snake stood up from their seats at the same time, a sense of foreboding washing over them.

They took a step forward, and their figures instantly disappeared from the spot.

next moment.

The two had already appeared in a secret room deep inside the island.

This is the Soul Hall, where the soul tablets of all the core members of the Black Shark Pirate Crew are enshrined.

However, what they saw before them was a scene of utter devastation.

On the shelves in the secret room, the soul tablets that were originally neatly arranged were now mostly broken and turned into dust.

Moreover, the trend of shattering is still spreading!

Bang!

Bang!Bang!

Bang bang bang! ! !

The crisp cracking sound, like the urgent drumbeats, rang out in rapid succession.

Each shattering sound signifies the fall of a pirate.

From the outermost ordinary members to the middle-level elite leaders, the speed at which the soul tablets shattered increased, and the area continuously approached the center.

Black Shark and Black Snake's hearts sank little by little.

These... are all fleet members who went out with Black Eye!

In just a few breaths, nearly a thousand soul tablets had all turned to ashes!

The entire Soul Palace was deathly silent.

Only the topmost layer remains, where the soul tablet representing the black eye stands alone.
