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

Chapter 468 The Death of the Blood Lion
Half an hour ago, in the Misty Sea.

A thick fog enveloped the small, gloomy island.

The ferryman on the River Styx stopped rowing:

"arrive."

"arrive……"

The man on the ship, who resembled a wild beast, repeated a sentence.

The Blood Lion disembarked from the wrecked boat and returned to the island where they had set out.

Before setting off, the Blackblood soldiers were full of fighting spirit, standing at the bow of the ship and raising their battle flags high!

Now, only the Blackblood soldiers, their faces filled with terror, remain on this island.

They were covered in wounds, huddled in a corner, their eyes filled with fear of the Black Hunters' territory.

Even a fortune of gold could not entice them to set foot in the waters of Moonstone City again.

Not to mention, the soldiers remaining here are all defeated and remnants.

"Black Hunter, I will be back."

"I will return!"

The Blood Lion straightened its body and walked deeper into the island.

His arms were severed and hastily replaced with inferior mechanical arms to make him appear less disheveled.

Now, the Blackblood Empire has lost 80 percent of its military strength and countless extraordinary resources.

But Blood Lion doesn't think this is the end.

If the existence of the forbidden rift is proven, the Empire will surely be able to extract more resources from other battlefields!

Not to mention, Whale Father and Blood Hunter still retain combat power.

Moreover, there's the power of the edge whale! There's the power of the whale! The Blood Lion kept repeating to himself.

He no longer felt any fear of the whale.

All he wants now is to wash away the shame of being a defeated empire and avenge himself against the Black Hunter and the Ice Witch!
Revenge! Revenge! Blood Lion quickened his pace, and before he knew it, he had arrived at the deepest part of the Misty Sea, at the location of Whale Father.

Beneath a colossal wall covered in runes, Whale Father stood by the wall, stroking the ancient patterns on it.

Beside him, the Blood Hunter gripped his blade, remaining silent.

The Blood Lion roared:
"Father Whale! Why don't you join this battle!"

If Whale Father had participated in this battle, even if they had lost, they wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses.

At the very least, they can organize forces to conquer and search for the forbidden rift!
If he could obtain the treasure from the forbidden rift, even if it meant burying his entire army, he could still give an account to the emperor.

The father whale turned around and said calmly:
"Blood Lion, the reason I am not participating in this battle is for greater power."

The great whale's power needs my guidance; only then can we achieve final victory.

"guide?"

Blood Lion clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, looking like a ferocious, angry lion.

The father of the whale spoke calmly, as if the recent crushing defeat was utterly insignificant:

"Blood Lion, have you ever been to the Edge World?"

"The Edge World?"

A hint of doubt flashed in the Blood Lion's eyes.

In the Empire, only a small number of Tier 4 hunters are sent to the outskirts to become outskirts hunters.

The father of the whale nodded slightly and said:
"On the edge, there are countless monsters, each of which possesses unimaginable power."

However, they all have one weakness: every inch of their bodies will be scorched by the daytime fire.

Why are you saying this? A hint of confusion flashed in the Blood Lion's eyes, but he did not refute it.

The father whale continued:

"The only way to allow marginal creatures, even those with power, to enter the New Sun World is to hide them in special containers."

However, most containers are too expensive, such as those for people with deep-sea talents. Unfortunately, we have not been able to capture the Black Hunter until now.

The best vessel is human blood, only human blood!

"The great whale needs containers, it needs more containers! Once the number of containers reaches a certain level, I can draw out true power from the edge!"

The father of the whale spoke with great passion.

"Black blood, the container..."

The Blood Lion repeated the words of the Whale Father.

The term "Whale Father" means that anyone who takes the Great Whale Blood Potion is the vessel for the Black Whale to descend into the world.

The Blood Lion pondered for a moment.

Including their 100,000 Blackblood Empire soldiers and countless adventurers on the sea, there are at least 150,000 people who have consumed Black Whale Blood.

A container for 150,000 people!

Even in the empire, this is a capital offense punishable by extermination!
Blood Lion frowned, a hint of unease flashing across his face.

After all, the power of the Edge God is extremely dangerous.

But then he thought, if they could utilize the power of even more whales, they would have a chance to make a comeback!

"It is precisely to harness the power of this great whale that I have no choice but to stay here, Blood Lion."

Do you understand it? "

"That's what the father whale said."

As he finished speaking, a huge black eye suddenly appeared in the sky.

Those eyes were pure black, as if they contained countless spirals!

Gravity descends.

In an instant, all the stone statues, soldiers, trees, and even human souls on the island were pulled out by this force and flown into the air.

My soul is being sucked in!

I'm about to be sucked in!

The Blood Lion's flesh trembled, forcing it to use its most powerful spells to stabilize its spiritual energy field.

That dark aura's spiritual energy field had even exceeded the limits of a fifth-tier transcendent being.

The father whale spread his arms, casually brandishing the black hole eye as if wielding a small weapon:
"Blood Lion".

Now, having mastered the power at the edge, no one on this vast ocean can rival me.

Blood Lion broke out in a cold sweat, unable to describe the complex emotions he felt at that moment.

The father of the whale was not lying.

In his spiritual vision, the Whale Father's spiritual energy field at this moment surpassed that of all the fifth-order beings he had ever seen.

To be precise, it goes far beyond them, reaching the boundaries of another, higher realm.

The God of the Edge... Blood Lion couldn't help but think of this saying.

By borrowing the power of the Edge God, one can reach another level.

However, anyone who uses this power will inevitably suffer a backlash in the end.

Anyway, it wasn't me who suffered the backlash... The Blood Lion laughed happily and clapped his hands, saying:
"it is good!

Father Whale, let us conquer Moonstone City together, and let those Black Hunters and Ice Witches, who are intoxicated with joy, witness the power of the Empire!
I can guarantee that after this battle, you will no longer be a citizen of the Empire in name only, but a true nobleman of the Empire!

The father whale said calmly:
"I have no interest in imperial conquest and honor."

"???"

The Blood Lion was taken aback.

The true purpose of the whale father has always been a mystery.

The father whale turned his head and looked towards the other side of the sea, at a country full of flowers and gold.

"Blood Lion, what we want is not to conquer Moonstone City, but to conquer that ancient family that abandoned us."

"An ancient family..."

Blood Lion thought for a moment, then burst into laughter:
"Good! Father Whale, the Empire will not forget you! Even the oldest canary family in the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom, the Mother Goddess family! We will help you crush them!"

"By you?"

The whale father's gaze lingered on the blood lion's riddled body.

A hint of caution flashed in the blood lion's eyes.

He instinctively sensed a danger, a danger that was implanted in his bone marrow.

"Blood Lion, you seem to have misunderstood. You are not included among us."

The father whale reached out his hand:
"Although only those with deep-sea talents are the most perfect vessels, fifth-tier transcendents are still decent lower-tier vessels."

"Lower container..."

The Whale Father's plan is still missing a fifth-tier sacrifice.

The Blood Lion immediately retreated, roaring urgently:
"Soldiers! Cover me!"

However, his voice received no response.

The blood lion struggled to turn its neck and look back.

Without exception, every soldier of the Black Blood Empire had terrifying black tree branches growing from their bodies.

brush!
A sharp blade stained with black blood pierced his fragile heart.

"Blood Hunter!! How dare you!"

Blood Lion's eyes widened as it looked at the familiar blade on its chest.

Thick, black blood kept flowing into his weakened body!

From the very beginning, the Blood Hunter and the Whale Father coveted his body!

A continuous stream of black blood soaked into his flesh and blood, until it reached his soul!
His flesh and blood began to peel away bit by bit, and his bones grew spiraling, jet-black patterns.

Assassination! The leader of a small pirate group dared to assassinate the empire's general!
The blood lion's eyes widened in fury:

"The Empire! The Empire, the Empire will never let you get away with this—"

"Soon, even the empire will have to submit to me, the new god of the sea—"

The father of the whale snapped his fingers.

brush!
With a dazzling cracking sound, the blood lion's flesh exploded, leaving only black and white bones.

And the shape of these bones is exactly the same as that of a greatsword.

All the surrounding black energy began to converge towards the greatsword.

A sword made from the flesh and blood of a fifth-tier transcendent being… Whale Father drew the greatsword and said mockingly:
"Let's call it the Black Lion Greatsword. This fifth-tier vessel should be able to withstand the power of the Black Whale for a short period of time."

The Blood Hunter nodded.

From the very beginning, in the final deduction, Whale Father did not need the Black Whale Gang, nor the army of the Black Blood Empire, nor the pirates.

As long as the power of this great whale can be controlled, then the Whale Father alone is enough to take on the entire Moonstone City, and the saints and legends of the entire ocean!

Whether it's the Ice Witch or Haye...

Next, by using Moonstone City as a stepping stone to force millions of people to consume the blood of the Black Whale, that power would be enough to make them sixth-order beings, or even higher.

At that time, they were also qualified to be called demigods and challenge the oldest family in the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom.

The father of the whale asked:

"Blood Hunter, besides the Blood Lion incident, is there any other information?"

The Blood Hunter lowered his head and pondered for a moment:
“Father Whale, a clue to the forbidden rift has appeared, on a burning sea beast.”

"Forbidden Crack..."

The father of the whale frowned and covered his nose.

In ancient legends, the way to advance to the sixth rank is neither by using the power of the edge god nor by relying on the blessing of the true god.

The reward for clearing the Forbidden Rift is the true path to advancing to the sixth rank and embarking on the road to godhood.

Unfortunately, the ancient family firmly holds the forbidden rift in their hands.

Once, in his youth, he tried to find clues to a promotion, but after merely mentioning it, he lost his wife and children.

Unexpectedly, one day, the door he had knocked on countless times and pleaded with humility appeared in this desolate edge of the world!
The Blood Hunter continued:
"Father Whale, the Forbidden Rift can create miracles. What if the Forbidden Rift possesses the power to allow the Ice Witch or the Black Hunter to reach the sixth rank?"

By having 150,000 people consume the blood of the Black Whale, they have acquired the power to unleash the full might of the Black Whale.

Even after consuming the blood of the black whale, they became corpses and turned to dust.

Their souls will still be bound to the earth, becoming the anchor point for the great whale's descent into the world.

However, this power may not be able to contend with true sixth-order power.

A deep crimson light flickered in the depths of the whale father's pupils:
"No, there's a chance that a Tier 6 class card will be born from the Forbidden Rift, but there's not enough time, and the Black Hunter can't possibly digest a Tier 6 class card!"

"but……"

A flicker of wariness flashed in the father whale's eyes.

The forbidden rift is a sealed rift because within it lies the tool that can create miracles.

We must be wary of the Ice Witch and the Black Hunter, and find the forbidden rift!
Currently, he has not fully mastered the power to digest the giant whale.

If he makes a move prematurely, there is a very high probability that he will be devoured by the whale and become its slave!
He cannot make a move until he has fully absorbed this power and become the God of the Sea.

This will take at least two weeks, or even a month!

The whale father raised his hand and pointed to the ferryman of the River Styx:

"Blood Hunter, you and the Ferryman of the Styx, go to find the forbidden rift."

At all costs, we must prevent them from finding the forbidden rift.

The ferrymen of the Styx are not human, but special beings born from the rifts in the Styx.

It possesses a special affinity for water and ghosts, and can easily detect the ocean conditions within a range of 10,000 meters.

It can be said that the ferryman of the Styx is the most powerful messenger of natural disasters on the sea.

The ferryman of the River Styx nodded:
“I know the location of the Ember Beast. Like me, it can travel through the rifts.”

The father whale lowered his head and sighed:

“Kill the Black Hunter. We don’t need him anymore. I can now withstand the power of the Great Whale.”

In his original plan, if Chen Qi could bear the power of the great whale, he could create a black god of the sea without any risk.

No more mercy to the Black Hunters.

This is the first time the Black Whale Crew has abandoned the 'do not kill' order against the Black Hunter.

The Blood Hunter nodded:
"I understand, Father."

The Blood Hunter never misses; aside from the Ice Witch and him, the Blood Hunter is the strongest fifth-tier transcendent being on the high seas.

The father whale raised his head and looked up at the approaching whale in the sky.

……

……

Moonstone City.

After finishing the plan to find the Ember Beast, Chen Qi returned to the shelter base with Fen, Palu, and others.

The little crow and the ice witch are working hard on the black blood potion.

Meanwhile, Fen was healing the wounds of the saint of books.

Black blood spurted out, and the giant whale descended...

All these phenomena indicate that the crisis is not over yet.

After bidding farewell to Fen, Chen Qi couldn't wait to head to the basement's basement, to the Rift Workshop, which could withstand the power of a fifth-tier overpowered individual.

Chen Qi took out the unique item from the crack in the lamp image, the tiny star lamp, and the unique item from the crack in the heart image, the honeycomb heart.

Now, he has collected the two most important unique items!
This also means that he can master the full power of the Sea Shepherd!

Chen Qi took a deep breath, cleared his throat, and said:
"It's time to master Azure Pastoral."
