Chapter 399: Severing Blade of the Domain!
At the edge of everyone's vision, above the near sea, was the Black Prison Ship.
The black thick fog pressed down suffocatingly, as if wanting to swallow everyone in the entire fleet.
Haige, the supernova of the Sea God Pirates with muscles like steel, walked into the conference room of the massive Black Prison Ship and looked at the person on the chair.
Blood General sat alone on that wide and icy cold chair, supporting his forehead with his hand, eyes closed, brows tightly furrowed.
Since he followed the Black Blood Empire's orders and arrived in this sea, he hadn't obtained any unique items, nor harvested any treasures.
Besides that, they had sporadically lost thirty-one excellent soldiers.
They had been waiting, waiting for an opportunity to bare their fangs and devour everything!
The Black Blood Empire's general opened his bloodshot right eye:
"The current leader of the Sea God Pirates is just some wet-behind-the-ears brat?"
Haige puffed out his chest, completely unconcerned:"The current leader of the Black Blood Empire Navy is just a one-eyed old man."
Blood General raised his head and looked at this Sea God Pirates leader:
"Answer me, where is the Sea God."
Haige crossed his arms:
"Lord Sea God is still accumulating power, but his great might can still mobilize ten thousand warriors. I wonder, how many people can the Black Blood Empire dispatch for the A-rank rift's unique item?"
After the Great Sea Coffin rift's power spread, the calamities and sea beasts on the ocean became increasingly numerous, and because of this, the vast majority of navies and adventurers chose to leave the Rift Sea, entering a ceasefire period.
Seizing this opportunity, Whale Father gathered the Sea God Pirates, Black Blood Empire, and other pirate crews, preparing to launch a total assault on Moonstone City, completely overturning this sea!
Moreover, Whale Father promised that the Blackfin Crew would completely shatter everyone's fear of the Ice Witch right before her eyes, pulling her down from her divine pedestal!
However, most pirates outside the Blackfin Crew were not reassured but filled with dread.
Even without the Ice Witch, declaring war on Moonstone City was a crazy suicide mission.
After all, once they challenged Moonstone City, it meant declaring war on Beiguo's war machine!
According to reliable intelligence, Beiguo's Steam Hand Workshop had already arrived at Moonstone City.
Just like in the past, Beiguo would crush them, these arrogant and domineering pirates, like a bunch of ants!
For this sea-overturning battle, the Blackfin Crew, and the Black Blood Empire Navy and Sea God Pirates behind them, must demonstrate sufficient power, that supreme power surpassing Beiguo's war machine!
Blood General crossed his hands and coldly said:
"Thirty thousand Black Blood soldiers."
Thirty thousand Black Blood soldiers!
Hearing this, Haige's massive body couldn't help but tremble.
All the people from the various territories of the Sea God Pirates numbered only fifty thousand, and the Black Blood Empire was actually willing to dispatch thirty thousand soldiers at once!
Haige's brows also couldn't help but furrow tightly.
This was no longer small-scale skirmishing in the Rift Sea, but a war launched by one country against another.
A supernatural naval war initiated across the Goldenfinch Kingdom!
Blood General drank a cup of wine:
"Battle is a soldier's destiny. Only those who die on the battlefield can receive the Valkyrie's kiss after death."
"A single A-rank rift is enough to create a powerful army!"
"And according to the Valkyrie's decree, all Blade and Dice affinity rifts in this world belong to us!"
He walked up to Haige and placed the crimson wine glass against Haige's mouth:
"Little pirates, you probably haven't seen a national-level war yet.
In a real war, whether it's the Black Hunter, or the Sea God you regard as divine in your hearts, they're just cannon fodder who could die at any moment.
Your era of small-scale internal conflict is about to end, and soon, the Black Blood Empire will overturn the seas."
Overturn the seas... Haige took the wine and drank it all in one gulp, then asked:
"Even the Ice Witch, you're not afraid of her?"
The Witch... Blood General drank a cup of wine and said disdainfully:
"She's just a little Lamp Keeper of the sea."
A little Lamp Keeper, are all Black Blood Empire people this arrogant? Clearly just a fourth-tier himself... Haige looked at the one-eyed old general before him, whose eyes held no reverence, only ambition.
He could sense the ambitions of countless people on the sea, but he never imagined their ambitions had swollen to such an extent.
The Black Blood Empire people actually wanted to cross an entire continent's distance to overturn Beiguo's sea!
This had surpassed pirate ambition, becoming a matter of survival and destruction between nations.
In the final phase of the Witch Sea, the Sea-Overturning Catastrophe, Whale Father would draw upon the Great Whale's power while using the Fog Sea rift's power to completely pollute the ocean!
At that moment, from the corridor, a guard urgently knocked on the door and loudly reported:
"Blood General, Lord Haige, ahead of our allied forces, a Goldenfinch Kingdom merchant ship has been spotted."
"A Goldenfinch merchant ship? Those party-throwing guys who show no respect to the Valkyrie, do they want this rift's treasure too?"
Blood General swirled the red wine glass in his hand.
On this sea, no one had invested more than the Black Blood Empire.
They had dispatched an entire massive army.
The hunters from these countries with smaller investments would all inevitably become bait for the Black Blood Empire.
The Goldenfinch Kingdom simply didn't have the strength to compete with their Black Blood Empire!
He raised his right hand:
"It's just a weak merchant convoy. Command all ships to simply advance forward."
The guard immediately nodded:
"As you command, General."
Soon, the pirate alliance accelerated, charging majestically toward the Canary merchant ship.
A thousand warships raced across the sea, the pirates' wild cheers vowing to devour everything in sight.
......
"Completely without any hesitation, actively advancing forward..."
Chen Qi stood at the ship's bow, lowering his telescope.
The Witch Sea's version 3.0, known as the Sea-Overturning Catastrophe and Nations Melee version. In this version, various countries' forces battled chaotically across the sea, leaving no territory for ordinary people to survive in the entire ocean. The millions of residents living on the sea would lose their homes, all forced into the cramped Moonstone City.
The entire sea would become an apocalyptic scene.
And the mastermind behind all this was Whale Father, who controlled the Great Whale's power.
In Whale Father's warning, they would show the world the Great Whale's true power within the next two days.
The Ice Witch's premature awakening had also made Whale Father's actions more radical.
Once the Sea-Overturning Catastrophe began, the power from A-rank rifts from other nations would completely overturn this sea.
Fen urgently said:
"Brother, should we retreat? The situation doesn't seem right."
The pirate alliance's warships had already charged forward. If they didn't retreat now, there would be no opportunity.
"......"
Chen Qi activated Deep Sea Perception, his spiritual energy spreading through ripples across the sea before him.
For a moment, the spiritual energy fields of the pirates on the thousand ships ahead all entered his spiritual vision.
Among this fleet, there were five fourth-tier spiritual energy fields in total, but only two could be considered truly powerful.
Moreover, one of these energy fields felt particularly familiar to him.
The Black Blood Empire's Blood General, the Sea God Pirates' fully nurtured genius Haige... Chen Qi gripped the long knife at his waist and exhaled a turbid breath.
As for the other pirates and soldiers, they were all just scraps.
But even so, he still had to remain cautious.
The Blackfin Crew's black blood could allow ordinary Transcendents to sacrifice their lives in exchange for power ten times beyond their normal capacity.
And many of the Black Blood Empire's soldiers wielded equipment called 'Death Curses' that could inflict special curses on fourth-tier beings when they died.
With sufficient numbers, in conflicts between fourth-tier beings, those below fourth-tier could become the key to defeating fourth-tier Transcendents.
Moreover, without question, such a massive army couldn't possibly lack reinforcements.
The Blackfin Crew's Pirate Generals, along with the Blackfin Crew's Blood Hunter and Ferryman of the Underworld River, wouldn't be too far from this massive pirate alliance.
For safety's sake, the most secure approach would be to flee.
However, this proud princess clearly wasn't willing to retreat... Chen Qi glanced sideways.
He wondered if the current Yisha could take on two opponents at once and defeat both Blood General and Haige?
Yisha stood on the ship, lowering her telescope:
"What's going on? Aren't they afraid of Beiguo? They dare to actively advance..."
At that moment, a third-tier shark-hat pirate captain from the leading Blackfin pirate ship licked his lips:
"They're the pampered merchants of the Goldenfinch Kingdom. I heard the girls from Goldenfinch Kingdom are fragrant all over, I really want to taste them~"
"Speaking of which, we once kidnapped a little girl who got lost from a Goldenfinch merchant convoy before. Unfortunately, she was..."
After saying this, the pirate captain winked flirtatiously at Yisha and stuck out his tongue.
Then, a golden blood-stained thread appeared around his neck.
His head plopped into the sea with a splash.
"!!!"
The pirate captains were all shocked.
The young girl before them had actually defeated the pirate captain known as Shark Tornado with just one move!
Without doubt, the person standing before them was a fourth-tier legendary monster!
Yisha's pupils gradually transformed into beast-like shapes.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Yisha raised her hand:
"Perfect, I haven't had enough fun yet! Keep dancing, little ones!"
Facing this massive fleet, Yisha's eyes showed no fear. In her view, accumulating garbage quantities was meaningless.
Most importantly, these pirates actually dared to kill people from the Goldenfinch Kingdom!
Under Yisha's control, the ghost fireballs and Sea Cloud went berserk again, instantly sinking numerous merchant ships before them.
In a flash, the ten warships ahead were destroyed.
"Damn it! This woman is looking for death!"
"Big Brother Haige! Requesting support!"
"Big Brother Haige!!! Save us!"
Boom!
"The Goldenfinch Kingdom's legend!"
Instantly, a tall figure shot out from the Black Prison Ship like a falling meteor, landing on the sea and stirring up a ten-meter-high raging wave.
Haige raised his head, his gaze like a python's as he looked at Yisha on the Canary ship.
"Qi Transformation. Sea God Phantom!"
Without any hesitation, Haige spread his arms, and a twenty-meter-tall Sea God phantom holding a massive trident abruptly appeared behind him!
The Sea God phantom shook, and instantly, massive waves scattered the numerous ghost fireballs and Sea Cloud before them!
"Huff~"
Haige exhaled an extremely turbid qi force, scanning over Yisha before him.
The spiritual energy field intensity of the person before him was far above his own!
Moreover, she wore a magnificent blue dress, and on her shoulder was a little Golden Flower Fox with a fourth-tier aura.
The Goldenfinch Kingdom's Third Princess... Haige immediately recognized the noble identity of the person before him!
He had always heard of this princess. The Sea God Pirates' leader Sea God had always told them that if they could kidnap this princess, it would be enough to extort materials for advancing to fifth-tier Saint, A-rank rift unique items, and even more precious things from the Goldenfinch Kingdom!
Unfortunately, this princess had always been in Moonstone City, giving them no opportunity.
"Lucky—"
Haige exhaled a blood mist.
He deeply understood Yisha's strength—these fourth-tier Transcendents from noble backgrounds were monsters among monsters.
But true pirates must be warriors fearless of the strong!
Nothing was more precious than the possibility of advancing to Saint, even if it was just an uncertain possibility!
Only those willing to sacrifice everything for this possibility could become Saints, become those ageless, deathless demigods like the Ice Witch!
Haige's expression turned resolute as he made a challenging gesture:
"Princess Yisha, Sea God Pirates Third Bishop, Haige, challenges you!"
Haige's body became wrapped in countless scorching spiral qi forces, forming an azure blue armor.
Simultaneously, the Sea God phantom behind him abruptly grew two additional arms!
His fourth-tier profession was the Beast Transformer's advanced profession Beast King, a legendary profession with extremely strong constitution that could transform into giant beasts.
While cultivating giant beast transformation techniques, Haige had also pushed his qi force to the extreme!
Boom!
Haige manipulated the Sea God phantom along with his own qi force, attacking Yisha with tsunami-like momentum.
"Boring—"
Yet Yisha merely tilted her head slightly.
In the next instant, a five-meter-tall canary appeared before her, weaving a golden silk net that blocked all of Haige's attacks.
"A canary with legendary strength..."
Haige hurriedly stepped back, swallowing hard.
Yisha noticed the shock in Haige's heart and provoked:
"I have five such pet beasts in total."
"Five!"
Haige froze for a moment.
He remembered that the powerful Dragon Tamer King of the Witch Sea exhausted all his efforts just controlling one legendary-strength Black Thunder Dragon King!
Five, five legendary-strength pet beasts, what kind of monster was this?
Were they even in the same tier?
Yisha raised her head, speaking with extreme arrogance:
"Little one from the rat lands, you didn't actually think your kind of fourth-tier rats who rely on rifts and lucky advancements could compare to me, did you?"
"There are differences even among legends."
After speaking, she extended her finger and said to the Golden Flower Fox:
"Little Golden Flower Fox, go, bite this guy to pieces!"
"Awoo!"
In the next instant, the little Golden Flower Fox opened its mouth, jumped down from Yisha's shoulder, and charged toward Haige's body!
Bad... Haige wanted to escape but found his entire body bound by golden threads.
Golden Flower Fox's skill. Golden Silk!
Once hit, it took at least two seconds to break free from the restraint!
Then, the little Golden Flower Fox wagged its tail, its form turning into a meteor that smashed toward Haige—
Golden Flower Fox. Golden Star Descent!
Though this attack from the little fox seemed weak, its destructive power rivaled a giant rock falling from ten thousand meters in the sky.
This was the power of the Goldenfinch Kingdom's Five Royal Beasts!
And at that moment, the corner of Haige's mouth curled up:
"Coming at just the right time."
Suddenly, a somewhat aged voice came from the sea:
"Blade Release Domain. Blood Blade. Slash!"
The entire world was instantly covered in a penetrating blood-red color.
"Princess, you've underestimated your opponent..."
On the Black Prison Ship, Blood General sitting on his chair slowly raised his finger.
Once he activated the Blood Blade Domain, his techniques could ignore space and launch attacks anywhere, tearing everything apart.
And that fox most important to Yisha had already entered his domain!
A tiny tearing blade abruptly appeared at the Golden Flower Fox's neck.
"Pain—"
The little Golden Flower Fox widened its eyes, the wound on its fur growing larger, bloody flesh being cut open, white bone faintly visible.
"Mas-, master..."
The little Golden Flower Fox opened its mouth, turning back, wanting to call for its master's help.
However, it found its master looking at it with cold eyes, not moving, clearly wanting it to endure this attack head-on!
Yisha and her parents had taught it that as a pet beast, helping its master withstand all attacks was its destiny!
The Blade Release Domain's strike was about to land!
The three-year-old closed its eyes, a tear falling from the corner of its eye.
Swish!
However, contrary to the little Golden Flower Fox's expectations, it didn't feel any pain!
It opened its eyes and only saw a slash illuminating the sky, and a hunter's figure blocking before it!
Someone! Had taken this blow for it!
"As expected of an A-rank rift's unique item—"
Chen Qi smiled slightly, the 'Rift Blade' in his hand burning with azure blue flames. His Rift Blade had directly severed Blood General's domain!
On the Black Prison Ship, Blood General's finger froze, his mouth slightly agape.
His domain... seemed to have disappeared...
