With the numerous ghouls and mirror images brought under control, the group gathered within Fuxi's formation and flew back towards the main control room.
"Taishan, you go first, I'll provide support. Ye Jun, once you're inside, release your light source immediately to provide us with vision. Fuxi, you and Noah, follow behind us!" Zhulong assigned tasks to each person. Upon hearing his name called, Taishan roared and charged into the control room.
"Kill!" The trident of the sea god in his hand was swung out, carrying terrifying lightning and the sound of waves as it pierced towards the wooden window. After Taishan entered the demigod level, this divine weapon finally began to truly unleash the terrifying divine power contained within it.
"Bang!" Under the immense divine power, a section of wooden window with immortal properties broke off and flew out. Although it was repairing itself at a speed visible to the naked eye, it gave everyone a lot of confidence that the ghost ship was not truly indestructible.
"Roar~~~" A roar came from inside. As soon as Mount Tai's trident pierced through, it felt tremendous resistance. The entire trident paused, and the vast divine power surged outwards, causing several more wooden frame pillars to break.
"It actually managed to block the trident at full power?" Everyone thought in surprise. Previously, the trident was considered one of the strongest artifacts on the Primordial Star, and this was the first time it had been so easily blocked by Mount Tai's full-power attack.
Not to mention others, even Taishan himself was stunned. He could feel that a pair of hands had withstood the violent lightning and divine power, and had grabbed the shaft of the trident. The enormous force made it impossible for him to pull the trident back for a moment.
"What is that?" Taishan was shocked. Through the flickering lightning, a pair of hands with sharp claws appeared in his eyes, the sharp claw tips gleaming with a metallic luster.
"Roar!" A low roar sounded, and Taishan felt that the other party seemed to be about to leap up and attack him at any moment, but he felt his hand loosen and the other party had already retreated quickly.
"Be careful, these Dark Executioners are not weak!" Ye Jun had already walked to his side and warned him. A dazzling light emanated from his body, and the surrounding darkness slowly receded, yet it seemed to be fighting against the light, only illuminating a small area in front of him.
The retreat of the Dark Executioners was precisely because of Ye Jun's arrival. Although they also possess powerful close combat abilities, they would not want to be exposed to light if they could avoid it. It's like people facing a cesspool; although it won't cause them much harm, given a choice, who would willingly jump in?
"The darkness here is very intense. I didn't expect you could only illuminate such a small area?" The Candle Dragon, in human form, also walked in. Seeing that Ye Jun had only illuminated one-third of the main control room, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
“Lighting it all up isn’t impossible, but the buildings here probably wouldn’t be able to be saved, and it would also consume a huge amount of my own energy!” Ye Jun explained, while scanning his surroundings, and one-third of the main control room immediately came into view.
Unlike traditional cruise ships with all kinds of complete facilities, this place only has a steering wheel to change direction, and the rest is mostly the skeletons of various creatures.
Many of them had already weathered away, but the smell inside was still unpleasant, filled with the stench of rotting corpses, as if no one had ever cleaned the place.
"Is this their restaurant, toilet, and mating ground?" Taishan said, pinching his nose, his tone full of disgust.
"Never mind what it is, let's go check the steering wheel. Maybe we can send this ghost ship back directly," Noah said. His curiosity about this mysterious ghost ship was no less than his curiosity about the Fuxi Formation.
"Let's go!" This suggestion was agreed upon by everyone. Under Ye Jun's guidance, everyone slowly moved towards the steering wheel, which was located in the very center of the control room, closest to the window.
This is also the layout of the main control room of most ships, since the captain needs to see all the situations on the sea surface accurately.
"Roar~~~" As everyone approached the steering wheel, the Dark Executioners in the darkness let out a series of warning growls, which greatly boosted everyone's spirits, indicating that the steering wheel might indeed have some function.
"Watch out!" Finally, one of the dark executioners couldn't hold back any longer and roared as it pounced on the group.
This time, everyone clearly saw the appearance of the Dark Executioner: a tattered cloak, a hideous face, and scales covering its entire body... The Dark Executioner's appearance was almost identical to that of the Dark Predator, only much larger and more terrifying, possessing a more powerful aura.
However, the killing intent and chilling aura emanating from them were not possessed by ordinary dark predators. Everyone seemed to feel the arrival of death from them, even though they did not hold a scythe symbolizing death.
"Roar~~~" Zhulong made his move, a long spear appeared out of thin air, which he held in his hand and thrust at the Dark Executioner.
This is his natal artifact, which he has been nurturing for a long time. He rarely takes it out and only uses it occasionally in his human form.
With the strength of a late-stage seventh-tier cultivator, Zhulong's spear was far more powerful than Taishan's. The swift spear tip accurately pierced the Dark Executioner, but at the last moment, Zhulong saw the opponent twist his body irregularly, narrowly dodging the spear tip that was sure to hit.
Zhulong immediately pressed down, changing his thrust into a sweep, and the shaft of his spear struck the Dark Executioner hard, smashing him to the side.
"Bang!" A violent roar rang out. Although it seemed to be a single strike, it was, after all, from the hand of a demigod, and its power was still quite astonishing. One could even imagine the wooden planks being smashed apart.
Unfortunately, they no longer had the chance to witness it. The Dark Executioner's attack was like a signal, and countless Dark Predators pounced on them. The battle between the two sides was about to break out, and they were almost instantly locked in combat.
"We're here! You guys go and see if you can turn the steering wheel. We'll try to turn the ghost ship around, making it away from the lord's territory and sail in the opposite direction!" Fuxi said to the angels and Rakshasa beside him. After speaking, he followed Ye Jun and charged out.
Upon receiving his instructions, all the teams dared not delay and began to move the steering wheel. However, they found that no matter how hard they tried, they could not change the direction in which the ghost ship was heading.
