The appearance of the divine king artifact immediately drew the attention of countless fierce beasts.
They roared and surged out of the water, charging forward, wanting to seize the divine king artifact.
Lin Fan was not surprised but delighted.
"Good, all of you stay here for me!"
"Brothers, unleash full firepower, kill!"
Numerous clones attacked in unison, unleashing skills as if they were free.
In an instant, the fierce beasts that came to seize the divine king artifact suffered heavy casualties. Only a few survived, but they were also severely injured and on the verge of death.
Lin Fan let out a cold laugh and charged forward, raising his light blade and slashing down.
*Puchi!*
Blood splattered everywhere, and countless monsters died in agony.
Similar situations were occurring in other directions. The emergence of the divine king artifact attracted numerous fierce beasts eager to snatch it, but they were intercepted by the combined clones.
Before long, the sea surface had turned red, and the smell of blood wafted for hundreds of miles, attracting countless weaker fierce beasts to scavenge.
The result was that these beasts also met their doom, killed by Lin Yu's clones.
Half a day passed, and peace finally returned. Only the ten-thousand-meter-long trident still stood tall in the sky, emitting a blue light, as if beckoning other beings to seize it.
Lin Yu glanced at the sky; it was already dusk.
"Night is about to fall," Lin Yu murmured to himself.
At this moment, a crescent moon rose into the sky.
The moonlight was bright, spilling onto the sea, emitting a cool glow.
Above was the sea of clouds, below was the sea of water, and in the infinite fragment spaces, numerous hidden oceans, all bathed in the moonlight, shone with different lights.
Multicolor, mesmerizingly beautiful.
The more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it often is.
Suddenly!
The seawater churned, forming a huge bulge.
Lin Yu and his clones were all drawn to it.
"What is this?" Lin Fan wondered.
Lin Yu secretly commanded, "Go and investigate!"
Lin Fan nodded and pointed to a combined clone, "You go and investigate."
This combined clone was a green dragon, which could navigate the sea with ease, making it the most suitable for the task.
The green dragon nodded and flew over.
With the green dragon's strength, it was almost invincible in this sea area. It soon reached the bulging mass.
As it approached, the bulge burst open, revealing a huge, dark sailship.
"It's a ship?" Lin Yu looked puzzled.
As soon as the ship appeared, the green dragon attacked.
It let out a dragon's roar, and the sea boiled, forming hundreds of ten-thousand-meter-long water dragons that charged towards the black sailship, intending to entangle it and drag it back.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
The ship emitted a series of rumbles.
An ancient voice emanated from within.
"Presumptuous! This is the sanctuary of the gods, how can you mere juniors covet it?"
The voice was ancient, but its tone was incredibly arrogant, making people uncomfortable.
Lin Fan frowned and snorted, "Such arrogance! I'd like to see what you're truly capable of."
"Green Dragon, aren't you going to act?"
The green dragon nodded and ordered the water dragons to attack.
*Boom boom!!!*
Each water dragon was tens of thousands of meters long. The hundreds of water dragons filled the surrounding area as soon as they appeared.
"Kill!"
*Boom!*
The water dragons struck with unstoppable momentum.
The black sailship let out a cold snort and activated a dark shield.
*Rumble rumble!!!*
The water dragons crashed against the shield, causing huge ripples.
*Bang bang bang!!!*
The shield did not break, but the water dragons had lost their momentum.
Seeing this, the green dragon was displeased. It raised its claws, and a vast ocean of water materialized in the air, pouring down.
"Immeasurable Annihilation!"
*Boom!*
As the ocean fell, the black sailship became enraged.
"You worm, you truly don't know what's good for you! Today, I will show you the power of the ship built by the gods of old!"
As the black sailship spoke, its hull began to enlarge rapidly, becoming as vast as a small world in an instant.
It was now as large as the ocean the green dragon had thrown.
The green dragon's expression remained unchanged as it roared, "Kill!"
While commanding the ocean to descend, it transformed into a million-meter-long being and charged forward.
*Boom!*
The two collided, emitting a deafening roar. The outcome was a stalemate.
Lin Fan frowned, seeing this.
His combined clones were now not weaker than a mid-level divine king.
This ship could actually fight the green dragon to a draw.
Was this ship so powerful?
Quite interesting!
Lin Yu was also quite intrigued and ordered a swift resolution.
Immediately.
The world turned dark.
As all the combined clones attacked, the entire space seemed to freeze, even giving the sensation that time had stopped flowing.
The black sailship, engaged in combat with the green dragon, felt hundreds of powerful auras and panicked.
"You're calling for help, dishonorable! Bah!"
The green dragon's face was expressionless as it whipped its tail, sending the black sailship flying for hundreds of miles.
Instead of being surprised, the black sailship was delighted. It turned its bow and fled.
However, it soon realized it was mistaken, as the surrounding space had been locked down.
"Surrender, and I will spare you!" Lin Fan emerged, looking at the black sailship with great interest.
He was very curious about this creation of the gods and might even uncover secrets of the ancient divine wars from it.
The black sailship sneered, "I am the sanctuary of the gods, built by the gods as their underworld for reincarnation. Until the gods return for reincarnation, I will die before surrendering!"
Huh?
Lin Fan was taken aback.
Did this black sailship have a problem? It had just revealed everything itself.
He chuckled and raised his hand, "Capture it!"
"Yes!" the combined clones replied.
The rest was much simpler. Although the black sailship was powerful, especially its defense, which was arguably unmatched, it was quickly defeated under the assault of hundreds of beings of the same level.
Lin Fan waved his hand, forcibly shrinking it, and put it into his palm.
"Interesting!"
"Your power is now sealed. I can forcibly refine you. Now, you have two choices: surrender voluntarily, or let me forcibly refine you?"
The black sailship fell silent.
Seeing no response, Lin Fan was not in a hurry. He put it away, confident that the black sailship would likely surrender after some thought.
After collecting the black sailship, the sea became calm.
He then turned his attention to the divine king artifact, the trident. The object had now retracted its light, appearing as if it were an ordinary item.
As he grasped it, streams of information flooded his mind.
Sea King Trident: This is the companion divine artifact of the Sea King. It has grown with the Sea King throughout its journey and contains thirty-six divine skills, twelve main divine skills, and three divine king skills. Once refined, it can be self-activated.
"I can't sense the owner's soul imprint. It seems the weapon's owner is dead!" Lin Fan said.
He did not refine the trident but stored it in his small world for his main body to handle.
Time passed, and the crescent moon sank in the west, its moonlight dimming slightly.
Suddenly, an ancient voice echoed.
"I... I am willing to surrender, but I have one condition!"
"Speak!"
"I hope you can help me become the Lesser Underworld, so that the remnants of those former divine kings can be reincarnated and live again!"
