Chapter 459: Final Battle
"Red Dragon, what happened to you?"
Blood Lion on the War Ship looked down at the distant battlefield.
With the shattering of Noah's Wall, Black Blood soldiers poured like a tide into the massive breach that had just opened.
According to intelligence, far away, the battle between Blood Hunter and the Ice Witch was not yet over.
As long as they could enter behind Noah's Wall and take control of the entire Noah's Wall structure, then their Black Blood Empire would surely succeed.
However, Black Hunter had actually appeared, blocking their army!
The power of a Saint was extremely formidable;
a single Saint could sway the entire course of a battle.
With just one slash, the soldiers of the Black Blood Empire fell into severe panic.
They scattered in confusion, like an ant colony scorched by flames.
Blood Lion took a sip of warm wine.At that moment, War Messenger Aili scrambled to her feet:
"Lord Blood Lion, detection of fifth-tier spiritual energy, and a large number of abnormal beasts passing through the seabed! The War Ship is about to face an impact from the Deep-Sea Titan!
Should we adjust our strategy?"
War Messenger Aili had heard of Black Hunter's name.
He was the Ice Witch's student. Although his strength was not yet a match for the Ice Witch's, he was still one of the great threats to their Black Blood Empire.
Not long ago, he had even tamed the super tank that was the Deep-Sea Titan Twelve-Tentacles!
One must understand, although the War Ship was a small mobile city-state, the Deep-Sea Twelve-Tentacles was also a Titan.
How can you still speak? Blood Lion remained utterly unruffled:
"Don't worry, this is within my expectations."
"Even if Red Dragon lost! He must have severely wounded Black Hunter! What we're facing now is nothing but dying embers!"
Blood Lion laughed.
Previously, at the Book Tower, he had witnessed Black Hunter's strength.
Red Dragon being weaker than Black Hunter was within his expectations.
As a Saint of the new generation, Red Dragon's strength was not considered formidable among Saints.
But the Black Blood Empire had no weaklings.
Even if Red Dragon lost to Black Hunter, it would have been after activating his domain, then losing to Black Hunter.
Between the two, there must have been an extremely fierce and bloody battle... Blood Lion smiled.
He could already imagine the scene of Red Dragon and Black Hunter slaughtering each other.
"Red Dragon, the Empire will not forget you."
Seeing Chen Qi's appearance, Blood Lion felt not a shred of panic, but instead a tiny bit of excitement.
For the Empire, losing a fifth-tier would mean he, as the leader, would inevitably face severe punishment.
Even in the Black Blood Empire, which constantly plundered dimensional rift resources from other nations, fifth-tiers were still extremely rare.
But just now, the appearance of the Ember Beast had proven the existence of a forbidden dimensional rift!
In the face of a forbidden rift, even if the Empire lost another fifth-tier, he, as the commander, would not receive any reprimand.
"Bones strewn across the ground, blood forging black flames!"
Blood Lion murmured softly.
Unlike the previous encounter at the Book Tower, he could now activate the Second Apocalypse. War Grinder Mountain!
As a domain with stringent conditions, the power of War Grinder Mountain far surpassed that of ordinary fifth-tier domains.
Blood Lion spread his arms wide and declared loudly:
"Fear nothing! Continue the assault! Our military strength far surpasses theirs!"
"For the Empire!"
"Blade Release. War Howl!"
Blood Lion's voice resonated across the entire sea.
The War Ship and a thousand vessels once again launched their charge.
Instantly, the soldiers who heard the howl all had red light flash in their eyes, and crimson patterns appeared on their weapons.
War Howl could grant all units within range the Berserker BUFF, providing high damage reduction and strength!
Under the War Howl, everyone erupted with cries of "Aaaah!" and launched their attacks.
The forces of Beiguo, already demoralized, immediately showed a one-sided trend against the instantly berserked army of a hundred thousand.
Fifth-tier Blade Affinity War Beast.
This was an extremely powerful profession in warfare.
This is already my territory... Blood Lion looked up, quietly awaiting Black Hunter's move.
Chen Qi's gaze pierced through the layers of smoke and gunpowder. He silently snapped his fingers.
"Deep Sea Flock."
Chen Qi did not hesitate, consuming all his accumulated 3000 Deep Sea Points.
All used to strengthen the sea beast legion!
Whether it was the water spirits, the little crabs, the Deep-Sea Twelve-Tentacles, or the Black Sea Mammoths—
At this moment, they all erupted with dazzling blue light, their power skyrocketing!
After being strengthened by Deep Sea Power, the Black Sea Mammoths' all attributes increased by 50%. Their trunks absorbed tens of thousands of tons of seawater from the ocean, then aimed at the War Ship—
Fifty massive sea elephant cannons struck the War Ship, forcefully pushing the colossal vessel back!
After being strengthened, the Coastal Apex Predator's speed became even more terrifying. Although its size was only at the hundred-meter level, on the open sea, it remained unstoppable.
Destructive Dragon Furnace Cannons erupted like volcanoes, creating dazzling radiance across the sea!
The strengthened Titan Water Spirit No. 1 bounced around on the ocean surface;
wherever it landed, a warship was destroyed.
And the Little Red Crab, as a special forces unit, darted among the large vessels.
Many fourth-tier Transcendents were chased by the Little Red Crab, fleeing with their heads in their hands, forced to admit defeat.
After receiving the Deep Sea Power enhancement, the Deep-Sea Twelve-Tentacles' tankiness increased dramatically!
The giant tentacles of the Deep-Sea Twelve-Tentacles crawled onto the highest deck of the War Ship, slithered in through the cannon ports, and charged towards the people inside the ship's hull, wrapping everyone up with slippery tentacles...
But as a Titan-level creature with twelve lives, even a full-power strike from a fifth-tier Transcendent could not threaten the Deep-Sea Titan's life.
The entire interior of the War Ship fell into severe panic under the tentacle assault.
This fear even snapped them out of the Berserker BUFF.
"What are these..."
On Noah's Wall, Madame Oli stared unblinkingly at the scene before her.
The entire sea was in chaos, a pandemonium of demons dancing wildly.
The sea beasts that suddenly appeared on the ocean had reversed the situation in an instant.
It's the Ice Witch's Little Black Hair, no, it's the esteemed Lord Black Hunter... Madame Oli, mindful of etiquette, placed her hand over her heart, correcting her disrespectful address for Black Hunter.
She had thought that with Hayer's defeat, they could only await the Ice Witch's victory.
But she never expected that Black Hunter would actually arrive.
This was the power of a fifth-tier Transcendent!
Chen Qi's appearance once again gave everyone courage!
This was the most perilous battle in Moonstone City's history.
Today's battle would surely be written into Beiguo's history.
We can win... Madame Oli raised the flag of Beiguo and shouted loudly:
"Activate, the final energy source!!"
"Everyone, cover Black Hunter!!!"
The final energy source referred to the ultimate magic bullet weapon on Noah's Wall, a high-angle cannon capable of slaying fourth-tier Transcendents.
In addition, thirty General-level steam mechas forged by the Steam Hand Workshop, possessing fourth-tier strength, all mobilized, rumbling towards the land battlefield.
The war had entered its final stage.
Under Madame Oli's rallying cry, the artillery fire from Noah's Wall roared once more.
On the sea, the trails of tens of thousands of cannon shells streaked across!
Everyone on the battlefield fought with all their might.
As long as Black Hunter could hold on, and wait for the Ice Witch to defeat Blood Hunter, they could win!
"Tastes good."
Chen Qi drank the Banshee Potion, and some pitch-black feathers grew on his right arm.
Qi... Little Crow's face flushed red as she wiped the tears and snot from her face.
Just moments ago, she had nearly been scared out of her wits.
That was twenty fourth-tiers!
Usually, Chen Qi and the Ice Witch were too gentle, causing Little Crow to completely forget the terror of fifth-tier powerhouses.
Qi had saved her life again!
Just as Chen Qi had said, her life now already belonged to Little Black Hair and Big White Hair.
"Thank you!"
Little Crow sobbed as she said:
"Qi, that's Banshee Potion."
That's Banshee Potion! Drinking it turns you into a banshee!
A real banshee!
Such a touching scene, and you say this... Chen Qi used Ember's Touch to place Little Crow in a safe spot:
"Don't worry, it's fine."
[You consumed Banshee Potion. Your spiritual energy source strength increased by 20%.]
[Your body is undergoing banshee transformation. Your Deep Sea Monster completely suppresses this aberrant power.
Your charm is permanently enhanced by 20%. You gain the temporary buff Banshee Feathers (your voice carries mental-type attacks, your movement skills gain black feather effects, you gain 50% agility enhancement).]
Chen Qi glanced at it.
Banshee Potion was an extremely dangerous Grand Sage-level potion. It could temporarily grant a fourth-tier Transcendent early fifth-tier combat power.
But as a price, the fourth-tier Transcendent who used it would inevitably die.
However, for Chen Qi, this was no different from Fen's Abyssal Witch Potion;
both were enhancement-type potions!
Chen Qi did not hesitate, drinking another bottle of Fen's Abyssal Witch Potion.
For today's battle, Fen had stayed up all night to craft a second Abyssal Potion.
Although Blood Lion hadn't performed well at the Book Tower, that engagement was largely due to the battle's scale being too small.
The current scale already met the conditions for War Grinder Mountain, even enough to summon the extremely terrifying War Knights!
"Aslina, strengthen me."
Chen Qi said to Aslina behind him.
Currently, Aslina, having expended a large amount of spiritual energy, could only assist and found it difficult to engage in direct combat.
Her spiritual energy was too weak, even showing signs of regressing to the fourth-tier level.
Aslina said coldly:
"Tsk, I have a condition."
"What condition?"
Chen Qi asked.
Aslina said with a wicked smile:
"One day off, plus Fen, let me whip her a hundred times."
Aslina's hands were itching, she just wanted to whip someone.
Now, the Ice Witch's person, Black Hunter, had become a fifth-tier.
She could only bully Fen!
Achoo! Fen, who had gone to check on the Ice Witch's battle situation, sneezed.
Chen Qi said coldly:
"Only one day of rest. For the second condition, I suggest I throw you in front of the War Beast first."
Want to whip Fen? Even if you get whipped yourself, there's no way you're whipping Fen!
"Tsk, just you wait!"
Aslina condensed a magic circle, and over a dozen precious magic books unfurled behind her.
[You receive the Book Saint's Blessing: Spiritual energy limit increased by 20%, inspiration increased by 20%, gain crisis premonition.]
[You receive the Thorn Magic Book's Blessing: Your spiritual energy defense increased by 20%, you gain 20% physical damage reflection.]
[You receive the Lighthouse Light's Blessing: Your mental resistance increased by 30%, gain slow health regeneration.]
[You receive the Book of Fortune's Blessing: Your luck increases, you stand under the protection of the Goddess of Luck's skirt hem.]
[You receive the Holy Grail Book's Blessing: Your health limit increased by 20%.]
[You receive Scale Release. White Tower Protection: All your blessings are enhanced by 20%, and your weaker attributes receive additional compensation.]
...
Aslina applied dozens of BUFFs in one go!
Chen Qi looked at the holy light, one wave after another, emanating from his body!
These holy lights converged, turning him into a dazzling being of light!
Slacker though she may be, annoying though she may be, as a fifth-tier, Aslina was really useful!
Truly worthy of being the strongest tool person in their current faction!
Although Aslina complained verbally, her body was honest, using most of her support books.
If Black Hunter lost here, she, with her depleted spiritual energy, probably wouldn't be a match for Blood Lion either.
"Don't get killed! You'll disgrace this Saint's reputation!"
The Book Saint continued her annoying talk;
she was thick-skinned and tough, not afraid of getting hit.
"Little Crow, be careful."
Chen Qi said to Little Crow and Aslina behind him.
Then, the Ember's Touch behind him placed the blood-soaked Flesh Cleaver Bone Breaker into his right hand.
Chen Qi took Flesh Cleaver Bone Breaker. His figure shot forward like a high-speed meteor, flashing onto the sea surface.
Black Wave Slash!
A hundred-meter-long flame flashed across the sea, instantly slicing two warships in half.
At that moment, the Coastal Apex Predator also emerged from the sea.
Chen Qi's figure landed on the head of the Coastal Apex Predator, looking towards Blood Lion on the War Ship.
"Black Hunter, long time no see. Last time, you helped the Book Tower survive a crisis. Unfortunately, this time, you won't even be able to protect your own life."
Blood Lion pointed the War Axe at Chen Qi.
Behind him, dense ranks of black soldiers began forming defensive formations, placing themselves in front of him.
Chen Qi's finger lightly traced the blade, coating it with the flames of the Daylight Lantern.
Seeing Chen Qi remain silent, Blood Lion declared loudly:
"Black Hunter, do you know? Originally, the Blackfin Crew, seeing you had value, asked me to spare your life."
"But now, I've changed my mind!"
Blood Lion laughed heartily.
Originally, the Black Blood Empire needed the Blackfin Crew's help because they lacked sufficient military strength, needing the two fifth-tier Transcendents, Blood Hunter and the Whale Father.
However, as long as they won this war, they would no longer need Saints.
Furthermore, with the forbidden rift appearing, he had the authority to issue a draft within the Empire, seeking more fifth-tier Transcendents.
Black Hunter, you shouldn't have offended the Empire... Blood Lion raised a finger and continued:
"Oh, right, Black Hunter, do you know?
Actually, I prepared a surprise for Hayer. However, he lost too quickly, so I couldn't use it.
Now, I want to give that surprise to you."
"Too much nonsense, fly."
Chen Qi communicated with the Deep-Sea Twelve-Tentacles, ordering it to intensify its assault.
Fly? I am the Empire's mighty lion!
And this sea shall become the lion's territory!
Blood Lion spread his arms wide. One of the War Beast's talents was that the higher the heat of battle, the stronger the spiritual energy source and physical attributes.
"Come! Black Hunter, I'll just pour all the fury Hayer couldn't withstand onto you!!"
"Blade Release. War Guards!"
"Blade Release. Crimson Form."
The Ember's Touch behind Chen Qi also swelled astonishingly to a twenty-meter scale.
In the space of a breath, Chen Qi, like a crimson thunderbolt, arrived before Blood Lion.
