The artifact truly lives up to its name; each of its four special effects is more impressive than the last. Moreover, the weapon's size can automatically adjust to the user's physique. At this moment, Xiao Yu held this sword, and Scourge of the Ocean automatically transformed into a giant sword over three meters long, perfectly suited to his height.

Xiao Yu felt an immense power emanating from the sword hilt. Sensing this power, Xiao Yu couldn't help but burst into triumphant laughter, "Hahaha, now no one can stop me!"

He suddenly accelerated, following the ocean current upwards, and soon emerged from the Pool of the Abyss. At this moment, only Sairen remained, guarding the place with a few siren priests; everyone else had vanished.

Sairen (High Priestess of the Sea): "Great Azathoth, you've finally returned! Quickly, we're about to collapse! Wait, where are the other the Immortals?"

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "They all perished, but it's alright. I've obtained the Scourge of the Ocean, this artifact is enough to fight the Naga. How's the battlefield?"

As he spoke, Xiao Yu walked outside, with Sairen following closely behind.

Sairen (High Priestess of the Sea): "The enemy has breached our coastal defenses and is launching a fierce attack on the Lost City. All our soldiers have been sent out to the camp, but we cannot hold out for long."

As they walked and talked, when Xiao Yu arrived at the Booty Bay hall, he found that all the treasure chests inside had been opened by adventurers, leaving only empty chests scattered all over the floor.

Sairen (High Priestess of the Sea): "Those adventurers, they joined the battle after opening all the treasure chests. If it weren't for them, we might not have been able to hold out this long."

Xiao Yu nodded and continued walking out.

They quickly left the Lost Temple and arrived at the plaza outside.

This place has now become the command post, the Immortals and several bosses from the Song of the Ocean are deploying their troops. Outside the city walls, the sounds of battle are deafening, and messengers are constantly reporting new battle results. It's either that a section of the city wall has been breached by the Naga army, or that a city gate has fallen, or that a certain place needs troop support. It's a scene of imminent danger and war.

As soon as Xiao Yu emerged from the Lost Temple, a group of people immediately gathered around him.

Ariel (Mermaid Queen): "So, did you get the Scourge of the Ocean?"

Water Elemental Wotkud: "Thank goodness, my lord, you're finally back!"

Big Water Cunt (the corrupted Water Elemental elder): "Boss, you're finally back! The brothers were about to give up!"

Many adventurers, including War Soul King, Iron Masked Man, Weizun Lingxiao, and even several guild leaders from the Horde, all gathered around.

Faced with the barrage of questions from the crowd, Xiao Yu simply snorted coldly.

Now that I have the ultimate weapon and the situation is extremely precarious, it's the perfect time to show off and establish my reputation. Let me show off!

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "There's no need to panic, much less fear. The Naga army is pressing in, but in my eyes, they are nothing but a bunch of minions. Azshara has been corrupted for too long; her pride has blinded her, preventing her from seeing the situation before her. I, Azathoth, will make her understand that the will of the elements is inviolable, and any enemy that stands in the way of the Immortals' rise will be mercilessly crushed!"

As he spoke, he raised the sword in his hand.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Behold, this is the Scourge of the Ocean, an ancient artifact. Now, this power is at my disposal. It's time to end this farce!"

As he spoke, the Boiling seawater around him billowed out, sending steam flying in all directions, causing everyone to instinctively part to the sides and make way for him.

Xiao Yu walked through the crowd without even glancing at them, heading straight ahead.

To the east and west of the Lost City lies a gentle slope, fortified with city walls and gates. To the south, a towering cliff extends from between the two sections of the city walls, forming a protruding platform. Xiao Yu has now reached the top of this cliff, quietly overlooking the battle below. Behind him, the BOSSes and adventurers are all watching him expectantly.

Tens of thousands of Naga stormed into the Lost City, clashing with the elemental creatures, mermaids, and adventurers guarding the city. On the distant sea, a dense army of Naga covered several nautical miles of ocean, with new troops constantly landing on the beach and joining the battle.

Judging solely from the number of Naga on the Lost Island, it's not particularly large, only around 30,000 to 40,000. The island's military strength isn't incapable of putting up a fight; with nearly 2,000 adventurers constantly resurrecting and fighting, they can wipe them out sooner or later.

However, the constant stream of Naga reinforcements coming from the sea was overwhelming. Once an adventurer died several times, it would take some time to revive, which caused the adventurer's defensive line to be pushed back continuously. Once the adventurers were pushed back to the resurrection point in the Lost City and were then mobbed, the battle would basically be over.

Therefore, to defeat the Naga, it's not enough to just defeat the enemies on the island; we must also defeat the enemies on the sea.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Now, let's end all this!" Xiao Yu said, first switching his title from Water Elemental Lord to Naga Bane, and then suddenly pointing the Scourge of the Ocean in his hand towards the ocean in front of him.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Ocean! Unleash your power and tear apart all those lowly creatures that dare to defy me!" Scourge of the Ocean activated!

An invisible wave emanated from him, spreading in all directions. Azshara, watching the battle from atop a giant whale, suddenly felt a force that shook the entire ocean. A sense of foreboding rose within her, but the surrounding silence, as if time itself had stopped, made her think the feeling was merely an illusion. But the next second—

The seawater suddenly Boiling, as if an invisible force was stirring it up and down. The waves grew larger and larger. At first, the Naga were able to move freely in the water thanks to their amazing swimming skills, but they were soon pulled uncontrollably by the Enrage ocean currents. The churning of the waves continued to intensify, and the Naga army that was preparing to land looked in horror at the Enrage and unfamiliar sea around them.

"Lady Azshara? Something's not right."

Lady Vashj'ir said to Azshara in horror.

Azshara (Naga Queen): "Continue the attack! This is the will of the gods! We must reclaim the Lost Island!" Her eyes were filled with fanatical light. "If I can reclaim the Lost Island, I will regain the goddess's favor, and I will regain my beautiful appearance, no longer this ugly sight."

Of course, she didn't say the latter part aloud. Even she knew that if her subordinates knew she was going to such lengths to become more beautiful, they wouldn't accept it. Her official reason was to reclaim the Holy Land, which was a much more reasonable excuse than giving herself a makeover.

But things were clearly not going to end so easily. Torn apart by the ocean currents, some unfortunate Naga still perished. Whirlpools filled the sea, and one could easily be swept into one and die in agony and torment. The once orderly formation was reduced to a mess by the waves.

But this is just the beginning.

The Water Elemental Lord swung his sword once more.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Ocean, in my name, Azathoth, I summon gales and thunder, storms and lightning! All enemies will tremble before my will and shake before the power of the sea!" Ocean Storm activated!

In the sky, dark clouds began to gather above the Lost Island. The heavy clouds, like a tide, converged from all directions above the Water Elemental Lord. The dark clouds blocked out the sunlight, turning day into night. Only by the occasional flash of lightning could one see the surrounding scenery. The rolling thunder was like a booming war drum, approaching from afar.

Lady Vashj'ir (High Priestess of the Naga): "Your Majesty!?" Her voice was filled with fear and shock. The scene before her was definitely not a natural formation. The Enrage power released from the sea made even her, who had lived in the ocean for thousands of years, tremble.

Azshara (Naga Queen): "I told you, continue the attack!"

Crack! A dazzling bolt of lightning, as thick as a bucket, descended from the sky and struck the sea. A Naga squad that had just surfaced was instantly blasted to a crisp and scorched, sinking back to the surface.

Another bolt of lightning struck, this time hitting a group of rocks on the shore. Shards flew everywhere, smashing several Naga had just climbed ashore, leaving them bleeding from the head.

The third bolt of lightning struck, this time hitting a giant whale. The beast let out a deep, mournful roar and was dragged into the depths of the ocean by the Enrage current.

The fourth and fifth lightning bolts fell faster and faster, their power increasing with each strike. The seawater was shrouded in the flashes of lightning, and swarms of Naga were blasted to pieces before they even reached the shore.
