Witch, I'm really not an ancient god of the deep sea!

Chapter 460 The Little Crow Who Wanted to Commit Suicide

Two Tier 5s versus one Tier 5!
In extreme cases, even the domain cannot be used.

Haye spread his spiritual power like a vast ocean, continuously dispersing it throughout the entire sea area.

"The first side to leave their territory will lose!"

Blood Lion slung the axe over his shoulder and said jokingly.

Opening a domain between the fifth rank means a life-or-death struggle.

Hayek frowned and asked:

"Blood Lion, which general from the Black Blood Empire is behind you?"

"Do you think I'll turn back?"

After Blood Lion finished speaking, he felt a chill on his neck as a cold, eerie aura, like a slippery tentacle, wrapped around it.

Haye wasn't lying to him! There really was something behind him!

At that moment, the people on the deck all looked up at the sky.

The war messenger, Alice, whose body was completely shattered and unrecognizable, struggled to raise her right hand:
"Reporting to Lord Blood Lion! Special fifth-tier spiritual power has been detected, a lamp-like aura, which is highly likely to be from a high-ranking monster from an A-tier rift!"

"Blood Lion General, please be careful! I'll die first..."

"You can even come back to life? No wonder you're the most popular messenger below the fifth rank in the Black Blood Empire..." Blood Lion grumbled, then looked up at the sky before him.

No one knows when, but the warships were shrouded in a thick fog.

The mist slowly dissipated, and a huge, burning eyeball slowly emerged, its twisted body lowered as it peered towards their ship!
The blood lion lowered its head.

Beneath the raging flames, countless twisted ribbons and tentacles intertwined and converged into a body.

Although they are all made up of tentacles and ribbons, they are arranged in a perfect way, resembling a tall woman, and have an unusual beauty.

"What a dazzling light bulb!!!"

Blood Lion couldn't help but ease the tension.

Their soldiers were also stiff and unable to describe their feelings at that moment.

It's important to know that the warship is a small, mobile city-state, standing a full 120 meters tall.

During the war, they encountered countless ferocious beasts and natural disasters.

Brutal, bloody—

However, the behemoth before them was the first monster to give them a strange feeling.

There was no bloodlust like that of a wild beast; it looked down upon them from its high position.

This feeling is very wonderful.

They weren't facing a monster, but rather—

Godlike!
Blood Lion took a deep breath.

The moment the monster appeared, everyone experienced a degree of mental suppression.

Even Hayek could not escape this intense feeling.

The mysterious behemoth before us may be even stronger than Haye is now.

He could even contend with Haye, who had activated his domain!
I'm probably the only one here who can fight it. What should I do? The Blood Lion was stunned.

What was supposed to be a battle between him and Haye, a clash of domains, was suddenly disrupted by the appearance of a high-level alien beast.

"You... alright, you can call me... the Beast of Ember!"

A clear female voice came from the dazzling flames.

Its sound was intermittent, like the voices of two people pieced together.

Intelligent beings! The blood lion's eyes widened.

Within the collapsed A-level rifts, there are many intelligent creatures.

He himself also encountered many highly intelligent monsters, such as the Shadow Weaver King of the Shadow Phase, the Libra Administrator of the Balance Phase, and the Collector of the Book Phase...

Within the Blackblood Empire's massive rift dungeons, anything is possible.

However, this was the first time he had ever encountered a deep-sea monster on the vast ocean, and it spoke to him.

The Blood Lion asked in a loud voice:

"Beast of Ember, what do you desire?"

Although the purpose of the monster in front of them was unknown.

However, he and Haye are currently engaged in a life-or-death struggle, and they must do everything in their power to minimize the harm caused by this monster.

The war is still going on!
The eye within the flames emitted a broken, intermittent sound once more:

"I want... delicious food, really delicious food..."

Delicious food… Blood Lion was taken aback.

Although his appearance exudes a sense of holiness, ultimately, like those monsters, does he also want to devour human flesh and blood?

"can!"

Currently, among the tens of thousands of shadowy figures on this warship, some were exchanged by Whale Father from the Great Whale, while others were mutated after taking the Black Blood Medicine.

These weren't his soldiers, so he sacrificed them!
Blood Lion manipulated two thousand shadows and placed them in front of the Ember Beast.

The next second, the tentacles beneath the flames wrapped around her, and she spoke haltingly, like a shy young girl:

"I don't want humans... Give me... delicious food... I can help you solve... the problem."

The moment the words were spoken, an unprecedented burst of spiritual energy from the lamp appeared.

Everyone on the warship felt a special spiritual power in their minds.

Your bodies have been tainted by the aura of the "???" rift...

This is… The Blood Lion's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but recall the Emperor's words:
"As the A-rank rift continues to crumble, a forbidden rift will be born at the crest of the wave!"

Just as the Emperor said, a forbidden rift is being born!

The monster before us is not a high-level creature from an A-rank rift, but rather something born from an even more terrifying forbidden rift!

The Forbidden Rift is the ultimate goal of the Black Blood Empire!
At this moment, they unexpectedly obtained a clue to the forbidden rift.

It's important to know that not all monsters in the rifts are enemies; sometimes, they can also be opportunities.

Alice, the war messenger who was just instantly killed by Haye, was able to become the Blackblood Empire's strongest fourth-tier messenger in terms of perception precisely because of the special unit in the rift.

The Blood Lion swallowed a mouthful of water and asked:
What would you like to eat?

Haye watched this scene unfold.

Blood Lion wanted to gain the support of this monster known as the 'Ember Beast'.

Haye hurriedly spoke up:

"What do you want to eat? I can give it to you! I have high-level resources of all sexes!!"

The battle between the two saints is not over yet. Whoever gains the favor of the Ember Beast will have a huge advantage!
The outcome of their battle rests entirely on the whim of this behemoth!
The flames burned even more intensely:
"No... I want food that tastes like the deep sea..."

It slowly looked at Haye and said coldly:
"You...don't..."

What exactly constitutes "deep-sea flavored food"? Does seaweed count? Does my grilled fish count? Haye was stunned.

The flavors of the deep sea... Blood Lion pondered for a moment.

From the very beginning, the Ember Beast's eyes were fixed on him.

Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed in his mind!
The Beast of Ember has its sights set on the blood of the Great Whale!

There is no delicacy more imbued with the essence of the deep sea than the blood of a great whale!

Without hesitation, the Blood Lion immediately took out the blood of the great whale and held it high:
"Take it! Beast of Ember!"

The moment the blood of the great whale appeared, a dazzling light burst forth from the enormous eyes of the Ember Beast!

It stretched out its slender, ribbon-like hand, took the blood of the great whale, and placed it into the flames.

The sacrifice was a success! The Blood Lion smiled.

The Blood Lion immediately launched an attack to prevent Haye from escaping.

Haye could only watch the blood lion from the shadows, trying to satisfy the desires of the behemoth before him.

Crunch, crunch——

The bright flames were gradually stained black.

The Beast of Lingering Fire raised its head, lowered its hands, and murmured in a human voice:

"It's not what I imagined..."

"The smell of blood is so strong...it tastes awful..."

"Disgusting!" Blood Lion exclaimed in surprise.

However, the Ember Beast soon said:

"An equivalent exchange, and I will fulfill your promise..."

The behemoth before them unexpectedly kept its promise.

Blood Lion was about to announce the agreement when he saw Haye had already defeated the shadow and was preparing to activate his domain.

He immediately roared:

"Everyone! Stop Haye from activating his domain!"

"Don't think about it!"

Hayek clenched his right hand, and the ghosts on his body emitted a piercing scream!

"The Realm of Illusion. Haye's Invisible Hand!!!"

wow-

Hayeh's spiritual power, which had spread throughout the entire ocean, was suddenly sublimated!

A huge rift was torn open in the sky, and then a pale giant hand emerged from it.

Everyone on the battlefield was taken aback.

"An invisible hand has descended!"

"Haye opened the domain first; it's a victory for Lord Blood Lion!"

The domain of a fifth-tier expert is enough to turn the tide of battle in an instant.

A cold, imaginary message popped into everyone's mind.

You have entered the realm of Hayek's invisible hand.

An invisible hand will subtly drive everything forward.

[Everyone gains the 'Invisible Hand Is Everywhere' effect: There is a 20% chance that any of your attacks or moves will be blocked by the Invisible Hand.]

"Master Haye..."

Lady Ollie put down the magic bullet gun.

Just now, a sudden fog rose up and covered the entire warship.

They had no idea what was happening inside...

However, the first to enter a field is often the one that is at a disadvantage.

"I hope Lord Haye's domain will prevail."

Behind Noah's Wall, the little raven looked up at the invisible giant hand and couldn't help but join tens of thousands in praying:
"Gotta win!"

However, suddenly, the invisible hand in the sky turned into white dust.

The prompt popped into everyone's mind again—

[The Invisible Hand's domain has ended.]

"How can it be……"

Haye looked up; his spiritual power was being diluted.

He stared blankly at the dazzling flame in the sky.

The Beast of Ember stared at him!
The flames resembled a semi-transparent mirror, slowly reflecting the image of a person!
That's what he looked like! Except, he looked even older and more weathered in the flames.

In reality, he also aged as the flames burned.

I'm getting old... Haye felt a powerful sense of powerlessness through his body.

If we consider the A-level rift as a giant world...

That forbidden rift is a world where miracles can happen.

The monsters within the forbidden rifts are also extraordinary creatures possessing miraculous powers.

The evolution of life genes in a cup, the complete solidification of ice, the ethereal journey through the void, the allure of flowers, indestructible steel, the prophecy of a lamp…

To master the forbidden rift is to master a miracle.

The forbidden rift in the Witch Sea remains a mystery to this day.

Is it the power of aging? Or is it a time-manipulation ability similar to the Ice Witch? Haye watched his body age and wondered about the Ember Beast's power.

However, no matter how he speculated, he could not change the fact that he had been altered by the power of the Ember Beast.

Soon, Haye's hair turned completely white, his body was covered in wounds, and he had a stubble on his face, as he stopped the domain of the invisible hand.

To be precise, it's the area where he can no longer use the Invisible Hand!

The flames of the Ember Beast gradually weakened:
"Your wish has been fulfilled..."

Like a gentle breeze, the embers and the mist dissipated softly in this sea filled with the smoke of battle.

"This is the power of the monsters in the Forbidden Rift..."

The Blood Lion looked at Haye in front of him and couldn't help but laugh.

"Haha, luck is on my side!"

Although at present, he knows very little about the Ember Beast.

But without a doubt, on the battlefield, this special high-level monster from the forbidden rift is on their side!
And this force directly caused the scales to tip!

Without the fifth rank of the domain, one is like a stray dog.

Despair flashed in Haye's eyes.

Meanwhile, an even more terrifying despair flashed in the eyes of everyone on the front lines.

"Ha! Your end is nigh!"

"This is a victory for the Empire!"

The Blood Lion unleashed an unprecedented burst of blade energy:
"My soldiers! Rage!"

The shadowy soldiers beneath the Blood Lion surged toward Haye like a dense black tide.

At this moment, Haye is unable to unleash his domain.

To be precise, his physical strength and spiritual power have both decreased by 50%!
He looked like he had aged twenty years!
Snapped!
Snapped!
Under the influence of this powerful negative buff, Haye was bombarded by a dense barrage of black shadows.

Punch after punch—

One cut after another—

Axe after axe—

With the Blood Lion's enhancement, each of these impacts was like a liberation of a fourth-tier powerhouse.

Haye continued to use the Ghost Hand to stop the shadow.

However, enhanced by the War Beast, these soldiers showed no awe for fifth-tier powerhouses, only the purest desire to kill!
kill!

kill!

Flowing endlessly, never ceasing!
The weakened Haye was utterly incapable of resisting such a massive army.

Soon, everyone saw the blood of the fifth-tier transcendent being, whose body was covered in wounds!

"Do not……"

Lady Olivia on the Noah's Wall clenched her fists, despair flashing in her eyes.

If Haye's liberation is interrupted, then he will be defeated by the Blood Lion.

This would directly lead to the collapse of the entire battlefield.

The entire Moonstone City will instantly become hell.

Goodbye! Haye! Lion King Fist!

Blood Lion unleashed a burst of blade energy from his entire body and threw a punch.

A massive amount of blade energy flashed across the sky, leaving a bloody trail thousands of meters long in the air—

"Do not……"

Haye coughed up blood, and he had no choice but to use his last move, 'Survival in the Cracks'.

Every fifth-tier transcendent being is connected to a virtual rift.

The crack that Haye himself is connected to is the B-rank "Void Merchant's House" of the Void Phase.

It was an extremely dangerous crack.

Haye can enter the rift and gain permanent evasion.

However, staying in that crack will also eat you away.

Most importantly, his defeat will lead to the fall of Moonstone City!

With Moonstone City's current defenses, without him, the entire city, no, the entire sea, would collapse.

No one but me can stand against the Blood Lion.

I cannot leave all of this to the unseen hand… Haye steadied himself in mid-air, preparing to unleash his power once more to fight back—

However, he slowed down!

Blood Lion, having consumed the Black Blood Divine Weapon potion, unleashed another Blade Breaker punch:
"Haye! Die!"

Rumbling--

Haye's body crashed into a weak point in Noah's Wall, creating a huge crater.

At that moment, everyone on the battlefield looked toward the source of the sound.

The combined firepower of the Blackblood Empire and Haye's impact have created a massive breach in the Wall of Noah.

Behind the breach, however, lay 50,000 logistics troops and wounded soldiers, along with hundreds of thousands of civilians.

"How can it be……"

Mrs. Oly lowered her head and looked at Haye in the ruins.

Haye was already a bloody mess, with only fourth-level spiritual power left.

A fifth-tier transcendent being was defeated.

She gritted her teeth and gave the order:
"All troops! Stop the enemy from entering the city!"

The Blood Lion immediately roared even louder:

"Everyone! Heed my command! Massacre the city!"

"Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!"

In just ten seconds, the Blackblood soldiers surged in like a black tide.

Their armor was stained with blood, and their eyes gleamed with an inhuman red light.

The guardians of Moonstone City attempted to plug the breach, but the fourth-tier transcendents of the Blackblood Empire, as if possessed by demons, instantly annihilated the guardians.

Without Haye, many of the hired fourth-order transcendents also developed a serious fear of battle.

Some fourth-tier transcendents even knelt down, performed a surrender ceremony, and begged the Blood Lion for forgiveness.

The Blackblood Empire's army swaggered into the positions behind Noah's Wall.

Where they trod, all that remained were severed limbs and blood.

The wounded listened to the cold sound of boots, their eyes filled with despair.

Tap tap tap tap——

The little crow stood up and looked at the twenty-five bloodied fourth-tier transcendents who were walking out of the rift.

The leading Blackblood Empire knight commander said:
"Hey, should we leave some people behind?"

"Find a wheel! Kill anything taller than the wheel! Put down anything shorter than the wheel! Don't forget to put it on the ground!"

"That won't do! The women must stay too! Of course, only the pretty ones!"

"Hey! There's a level four healer here! This is a rare trophy! Hahahaha!"

"Hey you little black-haired rascal over there, I've got my eye on you! Want to come back to the Empire with me and be my tenth wife?"

"Get out of my way! My troops are in dire need of a medic."

A tall, fourth-tier Blade Aspect Transcendent spoke to the little crow.

For them, twenty extraordinary beings could kill a fourth-tier being with ease.

In their eyes, the little crow was already a spoil of war to be slaughtered at will.

The little crow raised its head, swallowed a mouthful of water, and said resolutely:

"I reject!"

"is it?"

The fourth-tier Blade Master shook off the blood from his greatsword.

The little crow looked down at its feet, which were slowly being stained with blood, and silently took out the banshee potion from its waist.

Banshee Potion, the world's most terrifying mutation potion!

By taking this potion, she can exchange her life for the power of the banshee!

She would have died long ago if it weren't for the help of Chen Qi and the Ice Witch.

She caused Chen Qi and the Ice Witch far too much trouble.

She owes so many people.

It's time to repay them.
"I'm going to die..."

With tears streaming down its face, the little crow put the banshee potion into its mouth, preparing to swallow it whole—

Snapped!
However, in the next instant, a tentacle forcefully pierced her mouth and took out the banshee potion.

"Cough cough cough!!!!"

The little crow, whose mouth had been suddenly stuffed with a foreign object, coughed incessantly, its eyes filled with tears.

What just got stuffed in there?

So slippery!

She turned her head and saw a familiar figure.

A strong, powerful arm pulled her into a tight embrace.

"Little crow, you can't die without my and Big White's orders."

Chen Qi, holding the little crow that was about to commit suicide, examined the banshee potion in his hand:

"Banshee potion, I almost forgot, there's such a good potion..."

Everyone was startled.

The person before me is none other than the Red Dragon General's adversary—the Black Hunter.

"retreat!"

"Run! It's the Black Hunters! Spread out!!"

brush--

The lingering flames behind Chen Qi gripped flesh and bone, instantly severing the ten fourth-tier warriors and a thousand Black Blood soldiers in front of him.
