In the Center of the Supernatural World, He Had Proven Himself
The cold, deep, and dark universe held a massive, motionless ship surrounded by a multitude of meteorites, as if it had traversed an entire Mythological Era.
In the pitch-black void, the giant ship was entirely crimson, with a reddish light seeping out, giving the hull a sunset-like glow.
Inside the giant ship, around a vintage-looking round table, sat two humans and three mechanical lifeforms.
Both humans were shrouded in black robes, their faces hidden from view.
Among the three mechanical lifeforms, the robot made primarily of Abyssal Black Gold is the most eye-catching. It draws the Great Red Sky Saber, which is extremely intimidating.
"Now that it's decided, then you— Origin 63 —will go and hunt him down!" A man in black robes spoke, looking at the robot wielding the Great Red Sky Saber.
The one wielding the knife is Origin 63, who once destroyed three great lost lands and regarded Ancient Dreadful Spirits as medicinal herbs.
"Do you really think I'm just a weapon, a powerful henchman?" Origin 63 looked at him coldly, refusing to make a move.
"Aren't you very sure? Judging from his performance, his physical body and spirit are connected to a stable Exotic Power Space Pool, which is more precious than top-tier contraband! With the Great Red Sky Saber in hand, the odds of victory are extremely high. Why not go hunting?" the black-robed man questioned seriously.
"Fallen One — Zhuo Kong, watch your tone. We have an equal cooperative relationship with you. I am not your subordinate." Origin 63 responded forcefully.
Zhuo Kong, his entire body covered by a black robe, calmly replied, "As allies, we have just lost a fleet, and we have paid even more in the past. You, on the other hand, have fused with that Origin Fire Seed and wield the Great Red Sky Saber. You are truly the number one expert with an extremely high win rate. It is only natural that you should go and hunt now."
"I'm sorry, I only confirmed that his physical body and spirit are connected to the Exotic Power Space Pool. I didn't say I was going to deal with him, at least not at this stage. I haven't fully integrated that Fire Seed Fragment yet." As Number 63 said this, his whole body glowed, and his pitch-black metal body became almost transparent, with Fire Seed Exotic Power emanating from inside. However, the integration with himself seemed not to be perfect yet.
"After being irradiated by the Origin Fire Seed Fragment, your Essence of Life has been sublimated, and your Abyssal Black Gold Body has transformed into something exceptionally powerful, with a formidable amount of supernatural energy at your disposal. If you don't take action, you won't be able to defeat him at the moment," Zhuo Kong said again.
Beside him, another Black Robe Man, known as the Dragon Hunter, was also a powerful Fallen One, and he was similarly urging Number 63 to make an attack.
"With the Great Red Sky Saber in hand, who in the world can rival me? Invincible and unkillable! It has proven itself in the center of the Supernatural World, and is the most top-level prohibited item. It still possesses supreme power in this universe, not weaker in the slightest!" the Dragon Hunter said, his whole being seemingly hiding in the shadows.
Tomb, Zhuo Kong, Dragon Hunter, and Yuan Dao are the four most renowned powerhouses among the Fallen One. The two Black Robe Man sitting around the round table are none other than Zhuo Kong and Dragon Hunter.
"Let the tomb take action, and I will lend him the Great Red Sky Saber!" Origin 63 said, sheathing the crimson-glowing longsword with a clang and handing it forward.
Zhuo Kong and the Dragon Hunter frowned. Mu, as the strongest among the Fallen One, had been out of contact and they couldn't reach him no matter what they did.
"Let's discuss it," Zhuo Kong said.
Then, the two men in black robes left and went into a quiet room.
As the Fallen One at the top of the pyramid, their spiritual power is exceptionally strong, and the "divine core" in their heads flows with a hazy five-colored light, making their Spirit Origin extremely terrifying.
The two people's divine cores glowed, creating a sealed Mental Space where they communicated.
"Number 63 is too cautious. He doesn't dare to make a move even with a high chance of winning. Does he think that the Giant Whale's true cultivation level is far higher than that of an Earth Immortal?" Zhuo Kong said.
"Have you noticed that Number 63 has some inexplicable qualities? Although I've seen him more than once, lately I keep thinking of the Tomb because of him." The Dragon Hunter's divine core rippled as he voiced his question in the sealed Mental Space.
He named himself the Dragon Hunter, which shows his ambition and strength; he specialized in hunting whales and dragons.
"No way, Tomb is missing. Is he entangled with Number 63? Can life forms change? If Number 63 is Tomb, this is a bit outrageous. Instead of standing with us, he wants to completely integrate into the mechanical life form race?"
"I just felt that there were similar characteristics, I didn't say it was him. In any case, this is an opportunity. Whether it's the tomb or Number 63, if they are willing to lend out the Great Red Sky Saber, we should naturally get our hands on it. It's better to keep such a top-level prohibited item in our hands."
"You mean, you want to give it to Origin 72, which we dug out of the ruins? Exposing it so early isn't a safe bet."
"What's there to be afraid of? We've reshaped the Mechanical Heart of No. 72 and have controlled it for many years. We should let it get the Great Red Sky Saber."
What gave the two the most confidence was that they found an Origin Fire Seed Fragment in the No. 72 ruins, so they were not afraid of the Number 63.
There were only two small sparks in this universe, and both have been born.
The Dragon Hunter and Zhuo Kong turned to contact Yuan Dao, inviting him to come out of seclusion and go whale hunting together.
"Yuan Dao, we have a chance to obtain the Great Red Sky Saber, which we can give to you to use. What do you say?"
Yuan Dao was very surprised. He had been flying solo for a long time, and he never expected that two great ghosts would find him in this era. He asked in return, "Where is the tomb?"
"We've lost contact," Zhuo Kong said.
The tomb had disappeared, which alarmed Yuan Dao.
"The Great Red Sky Saber ... How could you find something like that? Wasn't it broken?" Yuan Dao frowned. The broken blade should be in the hands of Origin 81. However, some time ago, the dark green robot fell into the Old Earth, was struck by lightning, and melted into a pile of metal lumps, leaving no broken blade behind.
"Both broken pieces of the sword fell into the hands of the Mechanical Race. The Great Red Sky Saber is a top-tier contraband item. After the broken pieces met, they automatically reassembled themselves."
"I... am not feeling well and cannot participate in this kind of hunt. My Innate Divine Body, which I have nurtured for eight hundred years, has been destroyed. I need to recuperate for a long time."
Yuan Dao refused. No matter how Zhuo Kong and the Dragon Hunter tried to persuade him to come out of the mountains, he shook his head and insisted that his primordial spirit was decaying at an accelerated rate and he was no longer able to hunt whales.
After ending the call, Yuan Dao's face turned ashen. Were they trying to get him to take the lead and risk his life? Those damned Zhuo Kong and the Dragon Hunter must have some really strong trump cards to dare to drag him into this mess.
"Boss, is something wrong?" the Female Assistant asked.
"The tomb that was supposed to cause trouble has disappeared. It's two other tombs causing trouble instead. The situation is complicated. Damn it, they actually want me to be cannon fodder. Let's disappear for a while!" Yuan Dao said, his eyes fierce. He changed to another inhabited planet, intending to lie low for the time being.
Deep in space, aboard a colossal ship, crimson light swirled. The Great Red Sky Saber was perfectly crafted, its hilt carved with images of spaceships and mythical creatures, exuding a profound sense of weight, as if it bore the weight of an entire ancient history.
The blade appears to be polished from Blood Diamond, engraved with intricate patterns—the supreme mark it evolved in the center of the Supernatural World.
As for the inside of the blade, the patterns are even more numerous and endless, comparable to a sky full of stars. The longsword seems to have collected the sunset glow from the sky and forged it into a crimson and fierce weapon.
Origin 63 solemnly handed the Great Red Sky Saber to Zhuo Kong, telling him that this was the last key. If it were lost, he would never be able to pierce the cosmic rift again and return to the Supernatural Universe.
Zhuo Kong nodded and said, "It's a pity. The forbidden item— the Silver Shield —was lost in this universe for so long, and in the end, it was obtained by the natives. Moreover, it just so happened to alert the people in the Supernatural Universe, opening a passage."
Currently, there are several rifts in this universe. To open them and return to their homeland, they need prohibited items from their universe.
Only the Supernatural Universe can resonate with the other side and have the opportunity to open a passage.
Of course, the conditions are quite stringent, requiring someone on the other side of the passage to guide the way with a precious treasure.
It's unlikely that there would be so many coincidences. It's impossible for someone to be guarding the other side of the cosmic rift year-round, while also carrying contraband.
Last time, the Land of Technological Life, the Life Pool and the Silver Shield caused a huge commotion. It just so happened that someone was on the other side of the universe, which was an accident. Therefore, they were guided and eventually passed through the passage.
The Dragon Hunter said, "Next time, even if there's a real chance to go back, I won't take the passage through the Land of Technological Life. That blade and the Great Red Sky Saber are mortal enemies, natural adversaries."
Number 63 gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, his expression stern, and said, "Even if you are defeated, at the last moment, you must leave enough of the Great Red Sky Saber's power so that it can escape. Otherwise, we will lose the last key!"
"I guarantee it won't fall into the hands of the Giant Whale. This hunt will definitely be a success!" Zhuo Kong replied with utmost seriousness.
"Actually, there's also the past and present," the Dragon Hunter said.
"Who can capture it? It's as good as nothing." A dark brown robot spoke up from the side.
"I wish you success!" Number 63 released his grip and handed over the long sword.
Zhuo Kong smiled, "Do we still distinguish between you and me? If we hunt down the Exotic Power Space Pool, we can attack or defend at will, and roam freely in any universe, preserving our extraordinary bodies. I wish our Fallen One Alliance eternal prosperity, and one day take over the center of the Supernatural World, becoming one of the strongest factions!"
Shortly afterward, another giant ship arrived and took away Number 63 and two other robots, and the two sides parted ways.
"Will they make a move? Could they be planning to steal the Great Red Sky Saber? Top-tier contraband items cannot be lost." The dark brown robot spoke.
Number 63 said, "Don't worry, the primordial spirits of several great demons are beginning to decay. If we don't take action soon, they will become weaker and weaker. Time is running out, and we cannot allow them to delay."
"Most importantly, I do feel that things are a bit unsafe. I'm not at my strongest right now; the fire seed still needs to be fused!" Number 63 whispered, then reassured the two robots, saying, "The Great Red Sky Saber will not be lost."
"Is the Giant Whale still wandering the stars with that bear?"
Zhuo Kong and the Dragon Hunter's giant ship landed on a habitable planet to reconfirm Wang Xuan's coordinates.
"Get ready, we're going whaling. The Great Red Sky Saber has never been defeated. Its worst defeat was only a mutual loss, and that was caused by a collision with one of the strongest forbidden items in the center of the Supernatural World."
On this planet, they need to awaken Number 72, who, like Number 63, fused with a small Fire Seed Fragment, which is an unparalleled blessing for the Mechanical Race.
"It's a pity. We tried our best to avoid the peak of the mythical era, thinking that we could reap the rewards at will after the Supernatural Finale. Unexpectedly, those targets either ran away or left, leaving only a Giant Whale, which also gave birth to Exotic Power Space Pool. This was beyond our expectations. I don't know if it was a pleasant surprise or if it might backfire on us."
There's only this one chapter tonight; I'll have to skip the second one. Many readers have already figured out my update schedule; I'm so sad.
