Chapter 684: Chapter 541: Slaughter and Escape

"Lord Black Sword, we have been surrounded."

The room was cloaked in an atmosphere of unease and tension.

Loyal confidants stood at the door like steadfast guardians.

Black Sword lay in pain on the bed, looking increasingly frail, "How could he turn against me... it doesn’t make sense, there’s no reason..."

Beside him, several confidants who were ordinary Tenth Layer strongmen cursed their impotence, saying:

"That Emperor is ambitious, he believes we are a threat to the Supreme Tenth Layer, seeking to eradicate our ordinary Tenth Layer lineage..."

They had long advised caution, to guard against the other side.

But Lord Black Sword simply did not believe, marrying the opposition.

For them, it was merely a political play, how could they possibly be sincere?

"No, that’s impossible..."

Black Sword became more and more frail, murmuring:

"Our two camps benefit mutually, working together can better dive, his action against us will dishearten all ordinary Tenth Layers..."

The confidants sneered coldly:

"Gathered here are the ultimate elites who follow you from the ordinary Tenth Layer."

"Our deaths will be covered up with an excuse, a diving accident is enough to announce our death publicly..."

"After this battle, our top strength will be greatly reduced, and he will enslave the ordinary Tenth Layer that lost their top combat power."

Black Sword remained silent, still unbelieving, "It can’t be for this reason, he is extremely confident, how could he be afraid of us and..."

"It’s the deep sea..."

A faint flicker of surprise and uncertainty crossed Black Sword’s face,

"Over ten thousand years ago, he broke the deep-sea record, what did he actually see at the seabed? What ancient relic? Did he discover some frightening prehistoric history?"

"It was from then that he wanted to kill the ordinary Tenth Layer, only then did he start planning against me..."

Recalling various details, she keenly sensed that it was then that the other side began to show fear towards her.

"Could it be that us ordinary Tenth Layers, pose some sort of potential threat to the Supreme Tenth Layer, to his kingdom upon the waves?"

But to the confidant strongmen nearby, this explanation was simply preposterous.

The fixed Divine Object series of the Tenth Layer has lost variability and growth, and must depend on the Supreme Tenth Layer to survive.

How could we possibly pose a threat to them?

It would be like saying,

That historically, all of the Supreme Tenth Layer’s chaotic dynasties were destroyed by some ordinary Tenth Layer...

This is utterly absurd.

...

"Historically, most of the Supreme Tenth Layer dynasties, were destroyed by a particular ordinary Tenth Layer."

"Thus, the Supreme Tenth Layer always viewed ordinary Tenth Layers as breeding ground...."

Elsewhere, Emperor Bolin muttered, "Therefore, for the people of the whole dynasty, I must strangle you, the one at the pinnacle of this faction..."

A glimmer of sorrow flashed in Emperor Bolin’s eyes.

"I have no choice but to do this, if you learn the truth and can’t resist the temptation for profit, you’ll strike me down..."

"I can’t trust you..."

"So, I must make the first move."

...

The birthing room.

Black Sword kept thinking, enduring hours of torment.

"It’s started, the chaotic amniotic fluid has been sliced open by the Heaven-Opening Divine Power..."

"The child’s foot is already out, give it your all!"

This seemed to signal the onset of a battle, as all the hidden strongmen made their sudden move.

"Take action! Now is the time, she is already in labor, at her weakest!"

"Kill!"

"How dare you, Her Majesty has shown you kindness, yet you dare to rebel in secret, deserving ten thousand deaths!"

A great battle fully erupted.

The temporary birthing room floating at the bottom of the Sea of Chaos was shattered.

The room was instantly destroyed.

A large number of bricks, tiles, and tarpaulins shot outward, exposing all the strongmen inside to the vast, deep-sea chaos.

The empress, halfway through childbirth, was utterly weak, floating in the void.

"Protect Lord Black Sword! Hold on, the foot is already out..." Several loyal maids clustered around protectively.

Yet some were long discontent, "What’s the point in protecting the Crown Prince, that dimwitted emperor, who even sought to kill his own child!"

Each confidant under Black Sword swiftly counter-attacked.

The death of their leader meant that their civilian faction would potentially be devastated.

A fierce battle suddenly erupted in the Sea of Chaos.

The depth here was merely three thousand meters; these top-tier strongmen had no fear of the water pressure at this stage, moving freely, fighting tumultuously.

Vast amounts of seawater were stirred into chaotic currents, soon so thick that not a hand could be seen.

The ordinary Tenth Layers quickly found themselves retreating, beaten by these noble strongmen.

"Everyone, escort Lord Black Sword and his child away!"

"Yes!"

"Pah! These ungrateful bastards, even at the cost of my life, I must take them down with me!"

Three days later.

The battle raged on relentlessly, 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

In the Sea of Chaos, the severely injured Black Sword experienced obstructed childbirth, entering a state of difficult labor, the child still not born, resorting only to continual escape.

Black Sword belonged to the Black Sword Divine Artifact Series, incomparably powerful.

Her power came from a serendipitous opportunity, encountering an ancient ruin underwater, swallowing an unknown black ancient sword Divine Object.

It transformed her Divine Object into a new series, possessing extremely terrifying destructive power!

After slaying several pursuers, Black Sword came to a full realization,

"The chaos is immeasurable, yet they can track my whereabouts, he must have placed an eternal pointer-like locator on me."

"Well done, Bolin, all those years of marriage, calculating against me, truly intent on eliminating me completely!"

Lord Black Sword grew increasingly desperate, increasingly weak, and could only continue to dive deeper into the Sea of Chaos.

But it was at this moment that the weak Black Sword Queen finally gave birth to the child completely.

However, giving birth to the child did not mean her situation would improve.

Quite the contrary, with the birth of the child, her last breath completely dissipated, and she could no longer hold on.

Wow~

The first cry of an infant echoed between heaven and earth.

At that moment, it seemed as if some inconceivable, astonishing phenomenon appeared in the world.

As if some terrifying ultimate Divine Object had thus been born.

Chaos was cleaved open.

The first ray of light was born between heaven and earth.

Endless immortal light and mist surrounded, essence, energy, spirit... Various life Origin Powers emerged, as if some unimaginable life was being born in chaos.

"What is that?"

"What’s happening?"

In the shocked eyes of everyone, it seemed they saw the future of this infant.

Like an ancestor who cleaved open the chaotic heaven and earth, it wielded an enormous black sword, splitting the skies, cleaving the vast and boundless Sea of Chaos, engaging in an unprecedented creation.

"Was that... a hallucination?"

Someone was bewildered, the birth of children with phenomena from two supreme entities is very normal.

But the recent phenomenon was a bit exaggerated.

"This infant isn’t just life... Is it some Divine Object?" Someone pondered.

"How is that possible? Did the Queen give birth to an unprecedented monster?" someone had muddled thoughts.

Someone was incredibly lucid, "No, it’s been said that this isn’t a monster, it’s a Divine Object that was born!"

...

It was right with the infant’s cry upon descending into the world.

In various areas at the bottom of this Sea of Chaos, a race shaped like deep-sea dragonfish over a million meters long sensed something, and heard the cry.

"What is that sound?"

These dragonfish races are not life but Divine Object Laws, akin to Magical Artifacts floating in the long chaos, nurturing consciousness.

With this infant’s cry, simple voices were emitted from races transformed from Divine Objects in the deep-sea corners:

"I felt it..."

"Yes, I felt it too, our King has been born."

"The incredible Sacred King has been born, we will usher in true glory! Quickly inform the master."

Generally speaking, wild beasts transformed from Divine Objects lack Wisdom.

But the pinnacle Divine Objects of the tenth layer possess basic thinking ability.

Yet the Law is inherently pure and simple, already incredibly powerful with the simple thinking of a two or three-year-old.

Like a child ginseng...

Heavenly wastes and earthly treasures only shout noisily, avoiding the hunters diving after them.

Here, however, a group of simple "Divine Objects" gathers.

At this moment, a voice came from deep within the seabed:

"Strange, the sound even evokes such a reaction among my Divine Objects."

"But if we act now, we risk exposure... However, the King of Waves is also a personage, having dived a million meters deep, seemingly also discovered..."

"Forget it, don’t hide, bring this peculiar child out."

"Yes, my lord."

These simple tenth-layer Divine Objects replied.

In the next instant, a large quantity of unknown monsters rapidly surfaced from the seabed.

Being Divine Objects, they fear no water pressure and need not depressurize like lifeforms, quickly floating upwards, clustering tightly together, charging towards everyone.

"What is that?"

"Sea creature?"

"It’s merely sea creatures formed by soulless Divine Objects, no need to fear."

"Have all these beasts collectively surged up? There’s been no ascent sea current recently either."

Most of the floating Divine Object inheritances on the seabed are flowers and plants formed by Laws, some even possessing animal instincts.

"Our King!"

These simple Divine Objects shouted instinctively protecting this infant.

While those truly attacking discovered a terrifying aspect.

These are all supreme Divine Objects...

Each is formed by the tenth layer.

If it were before, they would certainly be ecstatic, frantically besieging.

But the sheer number before them now!

This opportunity, akin to a death notice.

"Run!"

"Why so many fully evolved tenth layer Divine Objects..."

Yet before they could escape, they were swiftly torn apart.

A week later.

The furious King of Waves Bolin roared, "What on earth happened? How was this done?"

A year later.

Black Sword and the child kept diving, reaching a million meters deep sea.

In the civilization history of the Kingdom of Waves, hardly anyone ventured to this depth.

They came here to uncover the original secret.

And when they arrived here, everything became clear...

Here, strange Siren-shaped Divine Objects were everywhere.

Each one, fully evolved tenth layer Divine Objects, dense and numerous... seemingly forming a massive tribe.

And beneath the sea lies a palace.

A Merfolk-shaped lifeform received the mother and child.
