Thousands of Abyss Kingdom soldiers charged forward fearlessly. Led by the female Abyss knight, they skillfully dodged the numerous tentacles extending from the Burrowing Demon Worm’s underbelly. However, in a single exchange, dozens of soldiers were instantly slain.

It was during this clash that the female Abyss knight truly felt the power of the Burrowing Demon Worm.

Her expression changed instantly, her pupils contracting sharply.

This was not just a large, clumsy creature. It possessed extreme agility and immense power.

“Scatter!” she commanded.

“Form flexible formations, look for weak points!”

Through the power of wisdom, the female Abyss knight’s orders spread instantly to every soldier. They moved as one, extensions of her will.

But all of this meant nothing to Weishi Hosen.

Yinsai’s history had seen countless conflicts and wars, but they all proved one thing: the power of the beasts was invincible.

They were the pinnacle of life and power, disregarding all techniques and tricks.

Wherever they appeared, destruction and calamity followed.

“Burrowing Demon Worm, shake them to death,” Weishi Hosen commanded with a wave of his hand.

“Woo!” The Burrowing Demon Worm opened its ferocious mouth, letting out a roar.

Invisible sound waves rippled outward, stirring up violent waves from the seabed.

“Boom!”

In an instant, thousands of People of the Abyss were scattered like leaves caught in a flood, tossed about chaotically.

The closest hundreds of Abyss Kingdom soldiers had their internal organs ruptured, dying instantly.

This power had little effect on beasts and priests, which was why it hadn’t been effective when Weishi Hosen previously battled the Star Luo Queen’s Sky Beast.

But for ordinary people, it was a tool of slaughter.

Seeing this scene, the female Abyss knight’s eyes instantly reddened with rage.

“Damn it!”

“Yinsai people, I will make you pay for this!”

The strange shrimp she was riding was instantly killed by the shock wave, but she pushed away from her mount and charged forward, enduring the sound waves.

Her face was contorted with fury, her entire body bursting with power.

More than a dozen black bone shuttles exploded from her hands, transforming into blurred shadows spinning from various angles towards the beast’s head, reaching Weishi Hosen.

Her sudden attack caught Weishi Hosen off guard, genuinely threatening him.

“Mental power!” he exclaimed.

The prince was truly shocked, not because of the strength of her power, but because the Abyss Kingdom had mastered the method of advancing to high-level priests.

“Divine Technique: Mental Shield”

An invisible mental force field deflected the dozen black bone shuttles, instantly turning the hope in the female Abyss knight’s eyes into despair.

In that moment, Weishi Hosen understood something: “The Sun Cup!”

“You obtained the Sun Cup that flowed out from the great poet’s burial place, then drank the power of the divine cup to gain second-stage power.”

The prince was both surprised and elated. He had finally found a trace of the Divine Boat. “So the Divine Boat did come this way,” he mused.

The Sun Cup was the supreme divine object of various countries, cultivated only in the forbidden areas of royal capitals – the God-given Sun Cup Flower.

The People of the Abyss should never have been able to obtain such a thing.

And she had clearly awakened the second-stage power, manifesting wisdom as mental power.

This immediately made Weishi Hosen think of the Sun Cup Flower cluster from the great poet’s burial place. When the Divine Boat rushed towards the ocean, it carried a small amount of Sun Cups with it.

This discovery made Weishi Hosen less heavy-handed. He no longer intended to kill this female Abyss knight but wanted to capture her alive to learn where the Sun Cup came from.

Perhaps he could even learn the location of the Divine Boat from the female Abyss knight.

The People of the Abyss charged forward fearlessly, one after another. The final result was heavy casualties, but they couldn’t see any hope of winning.

The Burrowing Demon Worm’s terrifying body, over a hundred meters long, its strong regenerative ability, its morphing tentacles as sharp as blades, and its invisible yet deadly destructive sound – all of these made the People of the Abyss feel hopeless.

The female Abyss knight was furious but helpless.

The sense of powerlessness against the Ruhe beast once again reminded her of the fear hidden in her bloodline.

“Retreat!”

“Everyone retreat to the deep sea!”

From his lofty position, Weishi Hosen watched the fleeing People of the Abyss with mockery. The Burrowing Demon Worm swiftly traversed the ocean, pursuing the female Abyss knight and forcing her group into a dead end.

“Go!”

“Capture that monster lord of the Abyss Kingdom for me.”

Weishi Hosen ordered his subordinates and followers to capture the female Abyss knight.

He feared the beast’s powerful strength might crush these weak ants with a single touch.

“Yes, Your Highness!” they responded in unison.

Two priests and over a dozen strong Trilobite Man guards beside him rushed down from the Ruhe beast.

Seeing the entire ocean at his command, watching thousands of People of the Abyss fleeing in panic before him, seeing everything in sight under his control.

At this moment, he even had a feeling.

He was like a god!

This was also the feeling of the kings of the four royal bloodline families. Their immense power allowed them to look down upon all living beings, to disregard all wishes and voices opposing them.

Some find themselves and direction in power, while others lose themselves and fall.

It was at this moment that his brother Henir suddenly looked up at him from behind.

As Weishi Hosen’s mind wandered, a Ruhe sword pierced through his chest from behind.

“You!” Weishi Hosen’s body stiffened, and he turned his head to look at Henir.

Henir’s movements didn’t pause at all. He cruelly dug his fingers into the gaps of Weishi Hosen’s facial armor.

He forcibly shattered the face guard and dug out Weishi Hosen’s brow bone.

That piece of bone, branded with the Ruhe mark, controlled the mythical monster.

Blood gushed out, and Weishi Hosen was overwhelmed by excruciating pain.

“Ah!”

Henir’s usually calm smile gradually twisted, his mouth opening wide and unrestrained, like an explosion after being suppressed to the extreme.

The remaining seven or eight guards around were shocked as they watched Henir. They quickly surrounded him to attack and rescue their prince.

But Henir raised his hand and sent them flying off.

At the same time, bone spikes pierced through their bodies.

Weishi Hosen stumbled backward, howling in agony.

His mouth opened, immediately gushing out bubbles. In his intense pain, he spoke directly with his mouth, forgetting to use the power of wisdom.

Underwater, his voice couldn’t be heard clearly, but Henir, looking at him, knew what he was asking.

He was asking: “Why?”

Weishi Hosen thought he had treated Henir like a brother, promising to make him Prime Minister once he became king.

He didn’t understand.

Why would Henir betray him when he had treated him so well?

Henir’s usually peaceful eyes gradually filled with hatred. He no longer concealed it, or perhaps he could no longer suppress it.

“Why? Because I hate you all!”

“Henir means ‘black mud’ – look at the name your king gave me.”

“In your eyes, I’m just a lump of black mud, a puddle of black mud sticking to the feet of the Hosen family.”

“I want to tell you, tell your king, and tell everyone in the Hosen family.”

“Even if I’m a lump of black mud, I will be the black swamp that swallows the entire Hosen family.”

He leaned close to Weishi Hosen’s ear and said: “You know what?”

“Your high and mighty attitude is truly disgusting.”

In an instant, Weishi Hosen recalled another figure – the one who had opened the gate to God’s realm.

Enraged, he shouted with all his might.

“You traitors!”

Henir didn’t let him finish. He forcefully pulled his Ruhe sword out of Weishi Hosen’s body and kicked him down into the sea.

“Die, Prince Weishi of the Hosen family!”

Henir’s sudden betrayal not only caught the Trilobite Men off guard but also stunned all the People of the Abyss in the Sal Domain.

Henir looked at the brow bone in his hand, with its mysterious and complex Ruhe brand.

“What royal bloodline family, what descendants of King Redlichia.”

“The one who controls the power of the beast is the true king.”

With that, he swallowed the bloodied brow bone.

Henir seized control of the Burrowing Demon Worm but didn’t even glance at the People of the Abyss.

Instead, he controlled the Burrowing Demon Worm to kill all the Trilobite Men present, then rode the Burrowing Demon Worm away from this sea area.

He never intended to find any Divine Boat, nor did he plan to help Weishi Hosen ascend to the throne.

He had his own plans and ambitions.
