I guarded Impel Down for a hundred years in the pirate world.

As for now, let's take action.

……

While the stars were working together to deal with the chaos, the stars and the Skeleton Emperor were also keeping a close eye on everything.

He never let go of his hatred for the Demon Clan of the Light Star, but after learning about the Giant Turtle, he still ordered a slight easing of the attack on the Demon Clan.

The desire to destroy the demon race remains unchanged.

However, if the cataclysmic destruction of the world by the giant tortoise cannot be dealt with, there is no point in annihilating the demon race.

Therefore, he needs to preserve more of the human race's fighting strength and allow the younger generation to receive more training and grow more during the war, so that they can help in the final battle.

Under normal circumstances, if Figo and his team cannot cope, it will be useless for any number of younger generations to grow up, as time is too short. However, if the Lights will become ineffective in the final battle, and the advantages such as unlimited physical strength brought by the Lights are lost, even Figo will probably need the support of others.

Even if it means sacrificing their lives to buy Figo some breathing time, they have to do it!

On the other hand, he was also closely monitoring the movements of the sea creatures to see if the giant tortoise would make any moves after being discovered and provoked by Figo.

It really does.

The forbidden zones in the sea of ​​lights, the places where level-five sea beasts used to roam, have all quietly disappeared. Even most of the level-four sea beasts, those that are two or three thousand meters in size, have vanished!

"Are they preparing for a large-scale attack, or are they hiding in some corner of the sea of ​​lights because they're worried about Figo hunting them down?"

The Skeleton King was uneasy.

While waging war against the demon race, they also had to keep an eye on the sea monsters. There were simply not enough people, and it would be too dangerous for ordinary merfolk to investigate.

Where can we find strong men or manpower?

A figure flashed through the Skeleton Emperor's mind.

The only city remaining uninvolved: the Holy Demon King's City!

"Perhaps it's time to go see Baal."

……

the other side.

The resurrected strongest of the previous era, Rilentorff, is traversing the seas.

In the past few days, he successfully lit the sixth lamp after upgrading the first lamp to level six, further consolidating and improving his strength, and also found a knife that was still usable.

Having once received the will of the ship spirit, he has fulfilled the two necessary conditions to perceive the spirit of the lamp. At this moment, he is on his way to find the location of the spirit of the lamp so that he can see it in person!

He learned all the information about the Spirit of Light from Glat. Although he was in dire straits and could be killed at any moment when he heard the news, and although Glat had shown him the giant tortoise in the Cycle Space, seeing was believing.

Moreover, he also wanted to use this sea monster, which was said to be at level six in strength, to test his sword!

If you can sense it, you can find it easily.

Despite witnessing the colossal beast that stretched over 100,000 meters in length, Rillen Torvald remained unfazed.

"What a spectacular fellow."

"Ouch~!!!"

Upon seeing him, the giant tortoise let out a howl and swung its claws at him.

"So irritable? Humph!"

Lilen Torford's expression was cold and stern. He dodged the tortoise claws with a sideways movement. Behind him, a huge wave surged. He drew his sword with a backhand and unleashed a slash that connected the sea and the sky!

Wow

The sea stretching for hundreds of miles was cleaved in two by this single strike, as if the sword beam, capable of cutting through anything, struck the giant tortoise heavily!

当嗡

Amidst the tremors in the air, a white mark appeared on the giant tortoise's shell.

The sword's edge shattered with a snap.

This time, Rillen Torvald's expression finally changed slightly: "What a tough thing."

It seems that such an attack is not even enough to break through its defenses. It is necessary to break through the blockade of the power of the lights in order to possibly harm it!

Just as he was gathering power in his body, his gaze swept over the sea of ​​lights that had been cut open, and suddenly...

"That is……"

A tail, small compared to the giant tortoise but still enormous to him, swung by.

Then, one after another?

In an instant, his one-on-one battle with the giant tortoise was over, and dozens of giant beasts with lengths of three thousand, five thousand, and eight thousand emerged from around him!

They were all level four and five sea monsters!

"...???"

Rilsentor's face turned green.

What's happening here? !

Amidst the deafening roar and the shockwave of the air exploding, all the sea beasts and giant turtles launched a simultaneous attack on him!

Without hesitation, Rillentor immediately activated the power of the lamp and slashed repeatedly with his blade, but he could only dodge for a moment and not all of them. He was quickly crushed and squeezed by the beast's tail, and blood gushed from his mouth!

"what"

With a roar, he fought desperately.

……

When Rillen Torvald escaped, he was in such a wretched state that he was barely recognizable as a human being. His entire body was stained with blood, and he looked somewhat dazed.

He didn't understand what was going on.

Why would there be an ambush?!

Dankabi was startled when he saw him, but quickly perked up and said, "You...you went to challenge the King of the Stars and came back alive?! Amazing, no wonder you are Lord Rilen Torford!"

"……roll!"

What is the King of the Stars compared to this!

You have no idea what I've been through...

Lilen Torvor was exhausted. He remained silent for a long time before thinking to himself, "First, contact the younger generation of Tianlong Star and Solnos. I need enough wicks to upgrade the newly lit lamp, making it stronger."

Just as the thought crossed his mind, he suddenly felt a significant drop in his strength and physique, as if he had been attacked by some kind of power!

He was severely injured and weakened, yet he was unable to resist the attack, and his expression changed drastically.

"Who goes there?!"

He rushed out suddenly, only to see a steel giant flash by. He hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and did not chase after it.

Once I've rested, I'll naturally regain my strength. Chasing after them now would be dangerous!

Damn thief! How can there be such a thief? I'm so angry!

……

"Got it?" A few minutes later, in the distant sea, a valiant female king greeted the returning metal man: "That one... is he really Lord Rilentorford?"

She was none other than Long Huyue, the former seventh general of Tianlong Star. Disheartened by Tianlong Star's actions, she entered Deng Huo Xing alone.

And next to him is, of course, Blue Flavor, the former sixth general of Tianlong Star, who once lent a memory to the Machine Race and was half reborn and half reincarnated in another way after his death!

“I’ve seen his portrait; it’s him.”

"How...how could he still be alive? And what is that giant tortoise?"

"I don't know... Xiaoyue, hurry up and use the knowledge and power I got from him to cultivate. Before long, he will take these things back."

After entering the Lampfire, Blue Flavor seized the Lampfire of the Borrow-Borrow Fruit and once again possessed the power of the Borrow-Borrow Fruit!

I've been using external resources to cultivate myself during this period!

Chapter 377 The Black Ship

Because a portion of his power and even his self-healing ability were borrowed, Rillentofer's injuries healed very slowly. And because of the slow recovery, he couldn't get back the borrowed power, thus falling into a vicious cycle.

It wasn't until half a month later that he stepped out of the meditation room. The sun was shining brightly outside, but his feelings of returning to the world were shrouded in a shadow.

"You wretched little thief, don't let me find you!" He thought fiercely to himself, then waved his hand to signal the dim-witted demon general, Dankabi, to set off to find the Celestial Dragons' descendants.

Before that, two other people had already found the Celestial Dragons.

……

Recently, most of the Celestial Dragons have been fighting on the front lines of the battlefield.

They entered the Starry Sky and arrived at the Starry Sky with the intention of fighting the demon race. They even thought that the human race of the Starry Sky was still being hunted by the demon race and was even on the verge of extinction, so all those who came were elites.

An army composed entirely of kings is rare even within the Lantern Army. Its leaders include veteran five-lantern king Bailey, the newly crowned five-lantern king and former Celestial Dragon's first general Yasuo, along with several supreme four-lantern generals, and the ship spirit Solnos. Even facing an entire demon army, they wouldn't be at a disadvantage.

They ventured deep into the Demon Clan's territory, pacified dozens of small islands, and fought several tough battles. Even Bailey suffered minor injuries before they retreated somewhat.

They could sense that the demons were also plotting revenge against them.

On this day, on the Celestial Dragons' flagship, the user of the 'Sensory Fruit' who was responsible for guarding the surrounding waters suddenly detected someone approaching them at high speed. Moreover, as soon as they detected that the other party was very close, they couldn't help but report it in alarm.

In an instant, Bailey, Yassen, and Solnos hurriedly boarded the deck, and when they saw the people approaching from the distant sea, they all showed surprise.

"That's... General Longhu Yue?"

"It really is General Longhu Yue Shenjiang!"

As one of only two female generals among the previous generation of Celestial Dragons, and the youngest general, Ryuko-yu enjoys exceptional prestige among the Celestial Dragons, much like the "Flower of the Navy" selected generation after generation by the Qinghai Navy.

Therefore, Long Huyue's departure from Tianlong Star influenced many people and shook their will.

At the time, Ya Sheng and the others were naturally furious at her 'defection,' but after witnessing Deng Huoxing's experiences over the past few years, they also had some reflections and complex feelings.

"Lord Solnos, Lord Bailey, Lord Yasheng, Lord Lolett." Upon approaching, Long Huyue leaped onto the ship and greeted them one by one.

Most of the others on the ship were delighted to see this. The four people he greeted remained silent for a few seconds before Solnos smiled and said, "Welcome back."

They assumed that Long Huyue's arrival was because she saw them earnestly fighting the demons and wanted to return. Ya Sheng and Bailey might find this somewhat unsettling.

Long Huyue did not explain, but bowed slightly to Solnos in thanks, and said, "I have an important discovery to tell you all. Just half a month ago, I met Lord Rilentorford."

The air was still for a few seconds.
