A thousand years ago, the Black Tide descended, marking the darkest era for the entire continent.
The Assyrian Kingdom was already one of the top powers on the continent at that time, and also one of the main forces resisting the Black Tide.
Some written descriptions of the Kuroshio's appearance and power are rather vague.
But there is one thing that everyone agrees on.
That is the power of the Black Tide, a power that does not belong to this world.
Ulysses never expected that the Assyrian Kingdom still possessed the power of the Black Tide and considered it one of its trump cards.
You must know that is a power that could plunge the entire continent into darkness. The Assyrian Kingdom is playing with fire and getting burned!
Yang Cheng stared at the power of the black tide, raised his hand, and his body was filled with blood-red aura. Boundless blood-red sword energy surged out and slashed at the black, sticky liquid.
However, this thing's power attribute was incredibly domineering. When the Blood Fiend Sword Qi struck the slime, it couldn't tear it apart at all; instead, it was devoured.
The Soul-Severing Spear shimmered with light, and Yang Cheng pushed the power of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts to its limit. At the same time, his blood and qi erupted, and he suddenly thrust it out.
But this attack was like hitting a brick wall; the spear easily pierced into the black viscous liquid, but it did not tear it apart. Instead, a feeling of being enveloped extended towards Yang Cheng.
Suddenly drawing his spear, Yang Cheng looked at the Soul-Severing Spear again, and his expression changed slightly.
The fierce sharpness of the entire Soul-Severing Spear had dimmed somewhat, and there were traces of rust on it.
You must know that the Soul-Severing Spear was a weapon forged by the Divine Court's master weapon refiner. It had survived countless battles with him without being damaged, but unexpectedly, it was damaged by this evil power.
Amidst the surging bloodlust, the Bloodlust God's Dharma Image emerged and delivered a punch to the power of the black tide.
But it's the same.
The power of the Seven Killings Star Lord was utterly ineffective against the Black Tide. The power of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts could pierce through the Black Tide, but it couldn't free him from his predicament.
Clough laughed loudly, "It's no use, don't struggle."
This is the power of the Black Tide. Countless powerful figures were helpless against it in the past, and could only wait for it to retreat on its own.
Yang Cheng squinted and said, "This is the power left behind by the Outer Gods or the Great Old Ones. They wanted to descend upon this world but had no chance. Your Edward family actually managed to preserve this power until now. You've done a really good job."
"Regardless of what kind of power it is, all I know is that it is the power that will allow my Edward family to truly reign supreme!"
Yang Cheng took a deep breath and uttered two words in a low voice: "Idiot!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Cheng took out his three-pointed double-edged sword, the powerful sharpness of which immediately startled Ulysses.
The light of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts shimmered around Yang Cheng's body as he raised his sword and slashed down—just those two movements.
But the power within it was incredibly sharp, as if the heavens and earth were created in an instant!
Yang Cheng's strike easily tore apart the power of the Black Tide, and it seemed as if the strike had completely killed the Black Tide's vitality.
Originally, the black tide was viscous like lead and mercury, but with Yang Cheng's slash, the black tide completely turned into black water and seeped into the ground.
Clough stared at Yang Cheng in disbelief, his eyes then filled with terror.
With a single strike, Yang Cheng actually cleaved through the Black Tide? That was a force that even the combined extraordinary power of the entire continent couldn't defeat in the past!
Yang Cheng let out a breath and put away his three-pointed double-edged sword.
Clough wanted to say something more, but Yang Cheng was too lazy to listen to his nonsense, whether he begged for mercy or threatened him.
With a hand seal, the Five Gods Moving Mountains technique was unleashed, and in the next moment, Crow's head was twisted off and appeared in Yang Cheng's hand.
Ulysses gripped the new longsword at his waist, looking helplessly at Clough's headless corpse, then at Yang Cheng, but he didn't even have the courage to draw his sword.
Even though Yang Cheng's killing of Clough was tantamount to regicide, considering that he dared to kill even a god, what does regicide matter?
After casually tossing Clough's head aside, Yang Cheng looked at Ulysses and said, "Commander Ulysses, don't just stand there, take me to get the Spear of Longinus."
Ulysses pointed at the corpse on the ground, his face ashen, and sighed, "I am no match for you. I don't even have the courage to draw my sword in your presence."
But you killed His Majesty. My family has protected the royal family for generations. Without His Majesty, there would be no Ulysses as we know him today.
So just kill me, I won't do anything for you.
Yang Cheng waved his hand dismissively and said calmly, "I did kill Clough, but does that matter? He was too greedy. He had already gotten what he wanted but didn't want to pay the price."
You should know that what I hate most is people who don't keep their promises.
Moreover, I am only targeting Clough, not the Assyrian Kingdom, and certainly not the Edwardian family.
I am not interested in the succession of secular imperial power.
Clough is dead, so why not just have someone else become emperor?
Your family has served the royal family for generations, and you are loyal to the royal family, not just Clough.
"I only want the Spear of Longinus. Don't make me say it a second time."
Ulysses sighed and had no choice but to obediently go to the royal treasury to retrieve the Spear of Longinus.
However, an unexpected incident occurred when entering the vault: Ulysses was unable to open it with the key.
Normally, the royal treasury is only in the hands of the royal family.
But Clough's son is an idiot, and he certainly can't have control of something so important.
Previously, the keys were controlled by Clough and Prince Ryan, but after the last incident, the keys in Prince Ryan's possession were taken away and given to Ulysses by Clough.
