A Great Increase in Strength (1)

"That's good. Since you've merged with my soul, you're essentially doing things on my behalf, so you don't need to feel any guilt." The ancestor's voice was very gentle, giving Fanxin a sense of comfort.

"Okay, let's begin the fusion." Fanxin Xin nodded, no longer being coy. From his ancestor's eyes, he understood that his ancestor deeply regretted not being able to eliminate those enemies. He was prepared to step in and help his ancestor fulfill his wish. Therefore, he no longer resisted and prepared to fuse with his ancestor's soul.

"Hehe, alright." The ancestor nodded, smiling.

Without Fanxin hesitation, Fanxin immediately manipulated his own soul, devoured the ancestor's soul in one fell swoop, then crushed it and merged it into his own soul.

As he was breaking down and fusing the fragments, Fanxin also gained many memories—the memories of his ancestors—and gained a deeper understanding of what had happened back then.

It was precisely because he understood this that he decided to complete the mission.

"Those despicable Celestial Dragons! How dare they treat my people like this! I will annihilate you all!" Fanxin trembled slightly, his face contorted with rage.

From his memories, he learned that the Celestial Dragons wanted to rule the world, but his family disagreed. After all, the Celestial Dragons were too cruel and liked to manipulate people, so his family's ancestors rebelled.

However, the Celestial Dragons possessed many powerful weapons and individuals with special abilities, so although the ancestors fought back, they ultimately failed, and their souls were bound by forbidden techniques. Although these forbidden techniques would not cause casualties to the clan, they would still be unable to be free because their souls were bound.

Therefore, the ancestors have been fighting back, but those people guard the Holy Land, which is heavily guarded, making it almost impossible to enter easily.

"Hmph, so you're Celestial Dragons? Just you wait." Xiao Fan's face was cold and indifferent. His body suddenly jolted, and he soared into the sky.

A few minutes later, he went back outside.

He soared into the sky and landed beside everyone.

By this time, everyone had wiped out all the invaders, most of whom were either turned into ice sculptures or burned to ashes by the lava.

"Fanxin, where's that guy?" Everyone gathered around Fanxin when he returned, asking.

"He escaped, damn it! That guy has so many abilities, I couldn't stop him." Fanxin was furious. If he had known the other party's true strength earlier, he wouldn't have been afraid.

However, there's no use in regretting it now. Even if he wanted to find out more, it would be impossible. After all, that guy is elusive; how could he possibly find out anything about him?

Everyone looked regretful; that guy was definitely a big problem, and it would be best if he could be dealt with.

"Forget it, we can't dwell on the other side anymore. We just need to focus all our efforts on getting to the Holy Land. Once we get there, we'll deal with him then." Wang Yan wasn't too concerned about the details, since their final destination was the Holy Land, where any enemies would gather.

"That makes sense. Let's go, let's set off." Fanxin no longer hesitated. No matter how the other party tried to escape, if he wanted to stop him, they would definitely meet.

"Okay." Everyone thought about it and agreed that it made sense, so they stopped talking, nodded, and prepared to board the ship.

Fanxin glanced around and saw that there were corpses and ice sculptures all around, a truly horrific scene. Of course, no one on their side had died, but a lot of robots had been damaged. The Little Black Cat had already collected the wreckage.

Fanxin felt no pity whatsoever. If these guys wanted to deal with him, then he naturally didn't need to be polite.

They jumped onto the boat, boarded it, and headed straight for the Holy Land, leaving the Beast Kingdom untouched.

The Beast Kingdom has already been taken over by those guys; if they stay, they'll only be attacked.

Rushing forward, Fanxin and the others' ships swiftly passed the Beast Kingdom and headed straight for the Holy Land.

A month later, they arrived dozens of miles from the Holy Land, and the sight in the distance astonished them.

The Holy Land is an island shrouded in mist, indistinct and dreamlike.

Thousands of ships surrounded the Holy Land, making it an impregnable Holy Land.

"Damn it, there are so many people! How are we supposed to get in?" The crowd emerged one after another, looking at the ships surrounding the Holy Land site with a headache.

From those ships, they could see the major powers of the New World; all the powerful pirate crews were clearly no longer here.

Moreover, the Four Emperors, gangs, and the Navy, who have grudges against them, have all occupied a large area, making it difficult for them to cross over.

"Hmph, dare to block my way? I'll bury this place completely." Fanxin said coldly, completely disregarding the many enemies around him.

Although there are many people here, they are not united, and since he is here to take charge of everything, why would he be afraid of those guys?

"Little Black Cat, set sail! Head straight that way!" Fanxin Xin commanded. "Everyone, prepare for battle; the great battle is about to begin."

"Understood." Everyone nodded, their expressions becoming more serious.

The ship sped forward without stopping.

Their arrival immediately drew everyone's attention, and everyone looked at Fanxin and the others. Those who had no connection with Fanxin, Luo, and the Straw Hat looked on calmly, with a hint of relief, while those who harbored hatred towards the three of them openly revealed their cold killing intent.

Fanxin, however, paid no attention to any of this. He stood at the very front of the boat, his hands in his pockets, his face calm, staring straight ahead.

"Hey, get out of here, this is our territory."

Just half an hour after the Fanxin ship had traveled forward, another ship suddenly and domineeringly blocked their path. A haughty male voice came from the ship.

"Hmm." Fanxin was taken aback, staring at the person who spoke, her brows furrowing slightly. The person was a tall man, over two meters tall, carrying a large knife on his shoulder, his whole body exuding an explosive aura. It was unclear which faction he belonged to, but he had actually jumped out to block Fanxin's path, becoming the first to try something new.

"Kill Wang Yan." Fanxin glanced at him, unable to discern his identity, and no longer hesitated. Such a minor character wasn't worth his attention. He calmly said to Wang Yan behind him.

"Understood." Wang Yan nodded and slowly walked out. Her pretty face was icy cold. She threw a punch, and a fiery red magma fist erupted, heading straight for the ship. The scorching fist caused the surrounding temperature to rise sharply, as if they had fallen into a sea of fire.

"Attack! Attack immediately!" The tall man's expression changed, and he shouted.

Moments later, the group, who were already prepared, opened fire, shooting down Fanxin and the crew behind Fanxin.

Bingfeng approached, and with a gentle wave of its hand, a blast of cold air swept out, instantly freezing all the incoming bullets and shells, sending them flying back. Not only that, the cold air also blew towards the ship, mercilessly freezing the vessel and its crew.

They were instantly turned into ice sculptures, utterly powerless to fight back. At that moment, Wang Yan's magma fist arrived, instantly incinerating the ship and the helpless crew.

They died without uttering a single scream, leaving nothing behind as they were completely incinerated into ashes by the fist of magma.

"Forward." The Fanxin showed no mercy. This place was a killing field; to show pity to others here was to be cruel to oneself.

Everyone who comes here is a vicious bastard; they all have blood on their hands to some extent. If he shows mercy, he will be the one who suffers.

"Don't provoke me, or I'll make you all pay with your lives."

Fanxin coldly glanced around. The ship continued its journey, his body radiating a strong killing intent. Combined with his earlier ruthless slaughter of everyone on board, it made those around him somewhat wary.

A powerful person is not scary; what is scary is someone who is reckless. Most of the people who come here are here to seek treasure, not to risk their lives. Therefore, after Fanxin made his ruthless move, some people have already backed down.

Of course, some people were still unwilling to give up. These people were three of the Four Emperors that Fanxin had offended. They slowly approached, and judging from their posture, they wanted to join forces to deal with Fanxin.

Seeing the three emperors mobilize, the other ships dared not be careless and quickly withdrew from the area, fearing they would be affected.

Fanxin Xin frowned slightly. Facing the Four Emperors at this moment, although he was not afraid, it had disrupted his plans.

Behind Fanxin, everyone tensed up, staring intently at the three emperors approaching. These were not to be trifled with; they had to be careful.

"What? Want to fight?" Fanxin shouted in a deep voice.

"Hehe, now that we're here, a fight is inevitable. Kid, this is our territory. If you know what's good for you, get out of here, or else..." Blackbeard chuckled, a cold glint in his eyes, his mouth twisted in a menacing grin.

His left hand was as black as ink, while a white, constantly vibrating ball of light appeared in his right hand.

He had already activated his abilities; in his left hand was the Dark Power, and in his right hand was the Tremor-Tremor Fruit Power.

Although Kaido and Big Mom weren't in such a hurry, they both looked at Fanxin with cold smiles, suggesting that there was a high possibility that they would join forces.

"Hmph, since that's the case, then let's fight. I want to see how you'll stop me from getting in." Fanxin Xin chuckled maliciously. Although the Three Emperors were very strong, which put him in a difficult position, he had no way to retreat now. Since he couldn't retreat, he could only attack with all his might.

Bang

Without hesitation, Fanxin drew his diamond sword, his Haki immediately enveloping it. The two swords turned dark and deep, with a sharp, cold light flowing across them.

"Kill!" Blackbeard was in a frenzy. Seeing Fanxin make a move to retaliate, he didn't hesitate. He let out a low shout and slammed the hand that held the Tremor-Tremor Fruit power down on Fanxin without any mercy.

Click click...

With a single punch, the air in front of Fanxin exploded, as if a mirror were shattering, with countless cracks spreading outwards like a spider web.

A massive shockwave rushed towards Fanxin.

"Hmph, is that all?" Fanxin's lips curled up slightly, revealing a dismissive expression. He suddenly swung his sword, slashing at the exploding air.

Call out

A domineering blade of energy appeared, slashing fiercely into the void and directly blocking the shockwaves. The two forces were locked in a stalemate, and it seemed that neither side could gain the upper hand in the short term.

"Hmm, it actually blocked it? Looks like that punch wasn't enough." Blackbeard was annoyed that his first attack hadn't worked, but then he revealed a ferocious and maniacal smile, shouting, "One punch isn't enough? Then let's try a few more! Ahahahaha..."

"Sure, as long as the people around me can handle it, I have no objection," Fanxin shrugged indifferently. He was an amphibious creature, so he wouldn't be in any danger no matter where he fell. His crew behind him also didn't need to worry, because they all had emergency flying devices on them—not just one, but many, enough for them to escape this whirlpool.

Therefore, he was not afraid of the other party going berserk. Even if the other party used the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to destroy everything here, it would only be a minor problem for him.

However, those around them are going to suffer, since they have no defense mechanisms left.

The Tremor-Tremor Fruit is incredibly powerful; a single punch from it could destroy an island. Therefore, whether the people around it could survive its power is still an unknown.

"I have no time to care about anyone else, killing you is the most important thing." Blackbeard was indeed a madman. He didn't care about anything and threw a punch. The air exploded even more violently. In front of Fanxin, the air was already shattered beyond recognition, like a large mirror that had been smashed.

"Do you want to go crazy? Fine, I'll go crazy with you." A cold glint flashed in Fanxin's eyes as he transformed one of the diamond knives into the Seven Star Sword. He aimed the Seven Star Sword at Blackbeard and swung it more than a dozen times, while his diamond knives were not idle either, slashing out with streaks of sword energy as they attacked forward.

"Bingfeng, Bingfeng this sea immediately, so that no ship can escape." Fanxin Xin chuckled menacingly, his appearance terrifying and ferocious, his crimson eyes filled with chilling murderous intent.

"Understood." Bingfeng nodded, her delicate body slightly lowered, then she sprang up and soared into the sky. Her jade hands quickly formed hand seals, and countless icy chills rushed out wildly along with her hand seals, rushing towards all directions of the island. Wherever she passed, the sea froze, and the ships could not move an inch.

As for Fanxin, he had already instructed his Black and White Clones to absorb the three ships into the alternate dimension. With the Continent of Ice, they no longer needed to travel by boat; they could simply walk across the ice.

Now, they had to move the ships away, because a fierce battle was about to begin, and they had no time to worry about them. These ships had been with them for so long, and they couldn't just abandon them; he had grown attached to them.
