Chapter 43 Nine Great Pirate Kings
Everyone looked out and saw a black shadow in the sea, moving at an extremely fast pace, but they couldn't tell what creature it was.
In the blink of an eye, it had disappeared without a trace.
"Could it be a fierce beast from the deep sea, moving so fast?" Lin Feng frowned.
Li Shangyuan said, "Brother Lin needn't worry too much. With such a large fleet, even the Sea Clan wouldn't dare to attack us easily."
Lin Feng nodded and said no more.
"Senior brother, are we really going to let that kid go?"
From a distance, a group from Blood Soul Island coldly stared at Lin Feng, with Li Rong's eyes filled with venomous hatred.
Song Yunqing said, "This person is likely a descendant of the upper echelons of the Spirit Array Master General Union. Now is not the time to act. Once we enter the Divine Ruins, there will be plenty of opportunities, no need to rush."
"Then let this kid live a few more days."
The cultivators from Blood Soul Island laughed coldly.
The fleet continued moving deeper into the sea.
On a massive island, hundreds of thousands of miles away, the Nine Great Pirate Kings and the Sea Clan had gathered.
Normally, the Nine Great Pirate Kings were hostile toward each other.
They kept to themselves.
But this time, a strong member of the Sea Clan had called the Nine Great Pirate Kings together.
The strength of these Nine Great Pirate Kings was immense.
Each Pirate King was not only formidable themselves, but they were also surrounded by many experts.
The Nine Great Pirate Kings were Mrs. Yu, the Sea Demon King, Rogers, Barbossa, Water Flower, Xiao Tianfeng, Fenng Shentian, Arthur, and Dragon Eye.
The influence of the Nine Great Pirate Kings was not limited to the East Sea.
They were present in the East, South, West, North, Sea of Death, Nether Sea, Endless Sea, and more.
Arthur: the most mysterious Lord of the Endless Sea, the leading figure in the great age of voyages, the first Pirate King in history.
Captain of the Divine Punishment Pirate Ship.
But as he got older, his prestige wasn't what it used to be, though he was still one of the Nine Great Pirate Kings.
Rogers: Once a sailor on King Arthur's pirate ship, he later became independent. By chance, he became the captain of the Ship of Death that had existed since the Ancient Era, greatly increasing his strength and becoming the Pirate King of the Sea of Death.
Later, his subordinate Barbossa betrayed him and stole the Ship of Death. Rogers ventured into the Netherworld and found the rumored Hell Pirate Ship, becoming its new master.
Barbossa: A close confidant and vice-captain of Pirate King Rogers, but with strong ambitions. On the night Rogers was drunk, he staged a coup, stealing Rogers' Ship of Death and becoming the new master of it. Later, he reached the South Sea and became the Lord of the South Sea.
Mrs. Yu: Pirate King of the North Sea.
Captain of the "Evil Dragon Pirate Ship."
She inherited a large merchant fleet from her late husband and gradually developed it into one of the most powerful pirate groups in the North Sea World. Three thousand years ago, during the North Sea Battle, she annihilated the other three major pirate groups and established herself as the Pirate King of the North Sea.
Sea Demon King: The last Clan Leader of one of the most mysterious races of the Sea Clan, the "Sea Demon Clan."
Captain of the "Ten Thousand Demon Pirate Ship."
He built one of the most powerful pirate forces based on the remnants of the Sea Demon Clan, mainly active in the Nether Sea at the heart of the North and West Seas.
Therefore, he is also known as the "Lord of the Nether Sea."
Xiao Tianfeng: Rumored to be the son of the Wind God, captain of the Storm Pirate Ship.
Pirate King of the Storm Ocean.
He is also one of the most low-key among the Nine Great Pirate Kings.
No matter what happens, the Storm Pirate Group rarely gets involved.
Xiao Tianfeng prefers to watch from the sidelines.
Fenng Shentian: Rumored to be the son of the Demon God, master of the Demon God Ship, mysterious origins, the Pirate King of the East Sea.
Dragon Eye: Rumored to be a man born with the Heavenly Dragon's Eye, the master of the Heavenly Dragon Pirate Ship, the Pirate King of the West Sea.
Water Flower: The most mysterious of the pirate captains, captain of the All Gods Pirate Ship, rumored to possess the unrivaled beauty, the Pirate King of the Gods Sea Domain.
"The Sea Clan is really putting on airs, making us Nine Great Pirate Kings wait here."
Dragon Eye angrily pounded on the table.
Mrs. Yu indifferently said, "The Sea Clan has always been like this."
The Sea Demon King said, "Mrs. Yu, are you pointing at the mulberry tree while cursing the locust tree?"
Mrs. Yu pursed her lips and said, "Did I curse you?"
"Barbossa, seeing how pale your face is, have you been cursed by the Ship of Death? Hahaha, one day, I, Laozi, will snatch back the Ship of Death."
Rogers scoffed continuously at Barbossa.
Barbossa pursed his lips and said, "Be careful, or I might just snatch your Hell Pirate Ship from you."
Rogers scoffed and said, "That's if you have the ability."
The scene was chaotic.
"Sorry to have kept you all waiting."
Just then.
A middle-aged man dressed in a dragon robe approached.
This middle-aged man had two horns growing on his head.
He was a cultivator transformed from a giant dragon.
"I thought the Dragon King himself would come, not expecting him to send you."
King Arthur scoffed.
Back when King Arthur roamed the seas,
he had interactions with the Dragon King of the Dragon Palace.
"My elder brother wanted to come himself, but due to busy affairs, he couldn't make it and sent me instead. Please forgive us."
Ao Lie apologetically said.
Barbossa coldly said, "Spit it out, what's the purpose of gathering us here?"
"The Divine Ruins have opened, I assume all the Pirate Kings know about this?"
Ao Lie said with a smile.
"So what if we know? I've been to the Divine Ruins once before, I have no interest in it now."
Dragon Eye pursed his lips.
"No..., this time the opening of the Divine Ruins is different,"
Ao Lie said.
Feng Shentian asked, "What's different?"
"Rumors say that the Life Divine Wood will appear deep within the Divine Ruins," Ao Lie said.
"What? Life Divine Wood? Wasn't the Tree of Life completely destroyed in ancient times?"
Barbossa exclaimed in surprise.
The other pirate kings also looked towards Ao Lie.
Clearly,
this news was indeed shocking to them.
"Yes, it was indeed destroyed, but a portion of the Life Divine Wood from the Tree of Life was left behind, sealed deep within the Divine Ruins. You all should know what the Life Divine Wood signifies. If we can obtain it, the Life Divine Wood can continuously replenish our life span. Although we all have a life span of twenty to thirty thousand years, we still age and die. But if we get the Life Divine Wood, even though we cannot achieve immortality, our life spans will be boundless,"
Ao Lie explained.
"Haha, Life Divine Wood, fantastic."
All nine pirate kings laughed loudly.
"We need a blood sacrifice deep in the ruins to unlock the prohibition, we need the blood and essence of countless cultivators,"
Ao Lie said.
"Cultivators from the Three Thousand States are rushing from all over, and fleets are endlessly sailing towards the Divine Ruins, each fleet brings at least a few million cultivators,"
Mrs. Yu said with a smile.
"Then let the cultivators' fresh blood dye the ocean red."
The Nine Great Pirate Kings laughed out loud.
