We agreed to set sail, so you'd become the ruler of the deep sea?

Chapter 106 The Collapse of the Secret Realm, the Ancient Tree's Last Wish!

"Look! A blood moon in the sky!"

"That is……"

The changes in the night sky naturally attracted the attention of everyone present.

The next moment, the crimson moonlight that was pouring down also underwent a strange change as it opened its eyes.

Every ray of moonlight seemed to carry a hidden malice and murderous intent, permeating every corner of the city.

A strong sense of alarm suddenly arose in people's hearts, their hearts pounded, as if some kind of calamity was about to befall them.

"what happened?"

"It's so itchy..."

Suddenly, one of the survivors felt an itchy sensation on his face and couldn't help but reach out to touch it, only to find his palm covered in blood.

More and more blood vessels, drawn by the blood moon in the sky, seeped from their skin.

Some of the weaker survivors even felt as if their blood was out of control.

The corpses that had died in the previous battle were melting away like candles under the blood-red moonlight, making the moonlight appear even more eerie and unsettling.

"The Crimson Lord?"

Xia En frowned deeply: "Could it be that the vampires are behind this?"

To his surprise, the vampires not far away also showed expressions of fear under the crimson moon.

A blood-red mist continued to rise from their bodies, merging with the moonlight and making their faces appear even paler.

It's like... the Crimson Lord is absorbing the power of the vampires?
"Lord, why?!"

"Is this your punishment? What did we do wrong?"

An elderly vampire was in tears, his face filled with disbelief. The other vampires were also filled with unease, yet powerless to resist.

Xia En was inclined to do something more.

But Carles did not respond for a long time.

The 5/100 power of the ship's spirit on the panel also indicates that he has reached his limit and this submarine voyage is about to end.

Even with Karlles' help, it was still a bit of a stretch for a second-tier cultivator to fight against two third-tier powerhouses.

Just as everyone was at a loss and despair was rising in their hearts.

A violent tremor suddenly came from the ground beneath people's feet.

The tremor was so violent that it created a terrifying network of cracks across the ground.

It was as if the entire city was about to turn upside down, or as if a soul imprisoned for hundreds of years was letting out an unyielding, angry roar.

“Deep red ancient tree…”

Xia En was shaken and looked up at the ancient giant tree beside him.

At this moment, the ancient tree was stretching its body, and dark red blood was surging within it.

Under the influence of this mysterious force, the roots, like an angry dragon, surged and rolled in the earth, the solid trunk continued to grow and extend upwards, and the lush canopy visibly rose and expanded outwards.

The distance between it and the Blood Moon is constantly shrinking, as if it is launching a desperate revenge against the Crimson Lord!
Xia En understood something.

The castle named "Red and Black" may itself be one of the seals on the Crimson Ancient Tree.

Now that the castle has been destroyed and the Crimson Lord has happened to be watching it, the Crimson Ancient Tree will naturally not miss such an opportunity.

In an instant, two mysterious forces that were extremely similar yet different collided in the sky.

Like ferocious beasts, they devour and kill in the most primal way.

This level of combat was completely beyond the comprehension of everyone present.

Fortunately, due to the struggle of the Crimson Ancient Tree, the eerie power in the blood-red moonlight was reduced, allowing people to move around normally.

But the good times didn't last long.

Soon, a survivor looked up at the sky in terror.

"Oh no! The sky is collapsing!"

In the pitch-black night sky, cracks gradually appeared and quickly merged together.

There is a strange substance in the air, which is seeping into this secret place.

It is obvious that the battle between the Crimson Ancient Tree and the Crimson Lord has exceeded the limit that this secret realm can accommodate, causing the barrier connecting it to the Secret Sea to begin to break down.

Anyone with eyes can see it—

The collapse of the Blood Moon Realm is only a matter of time!
People immediately realized that the only way to survive outside must be inside the castle.

Although the castle was destroyed in the battle, the passage may still be buried under the ruins.

After searching for a while, the group quickly discovered an exceptionally large black coffin.

It wasn't lying flat on the ground, but strangely standing still, and it didn't fall down even as the ground shook.

The pitch-black coffin looked more like a tightly closed door.

Elisa, who was quite skilled in spatial magic, walked to the coffin, sensed it for a moment, and then showed a look of surprise.

"That's right, this is the passage out of the Blood Moon Secret Realm!"

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly rushed towards the coffin door.

As for any secret treasures or magical potions, they didn't dare to even think about them. Just surviving from this [Blood Moon Secret Realm] was already a stroke of good luck.

However, on the other hand, Shane did not leave immediately.

laugh……

Amidst the hissing sound of steam releasing pressure, [Platinum Knight] Karles disengaged from his combined form and detached from him.

"It was a hearty battle."

"It was also a pleasant collaboration."

Carles extended his hand to Shane and said with emotion, "Without you, this operation would probably have ended in failure, and I would have been trapped in that dark and gloomy place."

"Thank you, Shadowless One."

Shaun shook hands with him and chuckled, "It's a pleasure doing business with you."

Then, Carles added, "Oh, right, there's one more thing."

"Would you be interested in joining the Federation and working with us?"

"With your abilities, you should be able to do very well in the Navy."

Shaun was taken aback; clearly, this was an olive branch extended to him by Carles.

To be honest, he did feel a fleeting moment of attraction. Having a powerful backer is always beneficial, and the Federation government is undoubtedly the biggest benefactor in the Seven Seas right now.

On the other hand, with the existence of [Deep Sea Diving], constantly adventuring and exploring new sea areas seems to be the life he yearns for.

After a moment's thought, Xia En said, "Perhaps such a day will come in the future? But for now, that's not my concern."

That's truly a pity.

Carles sighed: "I quite like you, after all, you're the first man to enter my body."

Shane: "..."

Why does that sound so strange?
"Hahaha, just kidding."

"However, machines don't have genders, so... do you prefer me to speak in this voice?"

Carles laughed heartily, but when he got to the second half of his sentence, his hoarse voice suddenly turned into a slightly cold female voice.

"Isn't that a nice voice? Quite a few young men in the Federation are head over heels for me."

Xia En's expression was strange.

This Platinum Knight's personality seems to be much more unconventional than he originally imagined?
"Alright, Shadowless One, I'm leaving with my companions. You'd better leave as soon as possible too."

Carles continued in a cool, detached female voice.

"If we're lucky, we'll meet again in the future."

Having said that, the man in the platinum armor waved his hand and turned to walk towards the other members of the Federation government.

After watching them enter the black coffin gate, Xia En still had no intention of leaving.

He looked up at the deep red ancient tree high above and murmured to himself, "Old tree, let me lend you a hand."

He planned to climb to the top of the ancient tree and use the power of the [Radiant Amulet] to attract some of the Crimson Lord's attention.

Even if doing so is likely to have little effect and will not have much impact on the situation, it will be difficult to achieve significant results.

However, the Crimson Ancient Tree provided him with considerable assistance on the other side of the secret realm, and sacrificing his projected body for it was clearly worthwhile.

……

……

at the same time.

One person remains in the ancient castle ruins, still trapped in the secret realm.

Faia stood in front of Quinn's corpse, her expression somewhat complicated.

He was certainly not hurt by Quinn's death; in fact, it was a scene he had wanted to see for more than a decade.

For some reason, after finally realizing his dream of more than ten years, he completed his revenge against his father and got rid of the heavy shackles and constraints on him.

Feiya didn't feel relieved; instead, she felt a sense of emptiness.

There is no direction, no goal.

I don't know what to do next.

A vast emptiness enveloped Feiya's heart.

He watched silently as the sky cracked and the ground collapsed, and a thought arose in his mind.

"Perhaps we should just perish along with this secret realm..."

Just then, out of the corner of her eye, Fei Ya caught a glimpse of a figure climbing upwards.

"The faceless shadow? Why hasn't he left yet?"

"Wait, could it be that he's thinking of..."

On the constantly crumbling earth, amidst the chaotic and shattered sky, a tiny black shadow climbs upwards along the tall and majestic ancient trees, step by step approaching the blood moon in the sky.

This seemingly crazy and foolish act inexplicably gave Fei Ya a strong shock, making his heart pound and his blood run restless.

Yes, the source of his tragic fate was not Quinn, but the high and mighty Scarlet Lord!
Although he is weak and humble now, what if one day he can pull that ugly and detestable god down from his altar?
This idea grew wildly in Fia's mind like weeds.

Suddenly, a deep wound appeared on the surface of the Crimson Ancient Tree, and thick blood flowed down the trunk.

Clearly, it was ultimately at a disadvantage in the battle against the Crimson Lord.

A roar of defiance echoed in the hearts of Xia En and Fei Ya.

Then, it lowered its branches toward each of the two people.

The branches are laden with heavy fruit.

From his vantage point, Xia En discerned the meaning conveyed by the flow of blood within him.

"Leave seeds...for the future...for revenge?"

Xia En nodded solemnly: "I understand, I will follow your wishes."

He picked the fruit, and then, gently guided by the branches, came to the black coffin on the ground.

At the same time, Fei Ya was also sent here.

The two were slightly taken aback when they saw each other, then smiled at each other and stepped into the black coffin door together.

The next moment, the dark, clear waters of the Secret Sea surged into the crack.

The entire Blood Moon Secret Realm collapsed!

……

……

However, Feiya's smile quickly faded.

the reason is simple--

He can't swim!

To be precise, the mechanical prosthetic he was wearing was too heavy, causing him to sink continuously when he fell into the sea.

The exit of the black coffin door leads directly into the seawater shrouded in the blood moon.

In just a short while, Fei Ya swallowed several mouthfuls of seawater.

Just as he was about to tragically drown here, a deep, dark figure grabbed his arm and pulled him away from the seabed.

Boom!
With a thud, Phia was thrown onto the deck of a ship.

He was stunned as soon as he opened his eyes.

"...Captain Shane?"

Thank you "altis74" for the 500 coins! Thank you so much!
