New Chapter: Whaling Storm Rises
Yuanlan Star, Beihai.
The dark waves surged and undulated, vast and boundless. Looking out, the deep North Sea seemed to have no end, the black ocean resembling the starry sky of the universe.
The giant ship, like a massive dark cloud, hovered high in the sky. Zhuo Kong and the Dragon Hunter had arrived to awaken Origin 72.
They boarded a Small Vessel, swooped down into the dark North Sea, and continued their descent until they entered a giant trench.
Deep beneath the sea, thousands of meters below the surface, visibility is so poor that normal life cannot survive there. However, this trench is not a place devoid of life; it is home to various strange species, including a large number of luminous Flood Dragon Turtle.
Occasionally, a large group of swimmers would pass by, their vibrant colors casting a hazy glow over the trench. A Black-green Mech, half-buried in the sand, glowed from within, as if Fire Seed Fragment were merging with it.
"Number 72, it's time to wake up." Zhuo Kong used a special Mental Ripple to call out to this sleeping mechanical life form.
Rumble!
The Black-green Mech's eyes suddenly lit up like lightning, illuminating the pitch-black seabed. Then it moved, causing the sand to churn and the seawater to become incredibly murky.
A massive robot rose up, reaching a height of twenty meters, far exceeding the all-black Number 63. At the same time, the fire within him released its power, his entire body became hazy, his life force returned, and he truly awakened.
In an instant, strange Mythological Factor flowed, and he gained powerful Supernatural Power. His brief but rapid advancement made him comparable to an Earth Immortal.
Then, as he rushed towards the sea, he gained even more strength. To possess such Supernatural Power in such harsh conditions was truly astonishing.
The Origin Fire Seed —there are only two small pieces of it in this universe, making it incredibly precious. He fused one of them together, which is why it still possesses terrifying power in this era.
Both Zhuo Kong and the Dragon Hunter felt a sense of oppression, sensing danger even through the metal spaceship walls.
Fortunately, when No. 72 was unearthed, its Mechanical Heart was refined by the two of them, making it a puppet that surpassed the Earth Immortal level under their control.
On an island, Number 72 received the Great Red Sky Saber. As the power of the fire seed flowed, the red heavenly blade magnified and suddenly tore through the void.
In an instant, the entire North Sea, centered on the island, turned crimson. The sky above the sea was ablaze with red light, creating a breathtakingly beautiful and desolate scene where the sea and sky merged into one.
"Can it be refined?" Zhuo Kong asked, wanting to truly master this forbidden item.
"It will take thousands of years to slowly grind it down before it can possibly succeed," Number 72 replied coldly, his voice ringing out like the sound of steel plates rubbing together.
Zhuo Kong nodded and said, "Although there is some regret, I am also slightly relieved. Hundreds of years ago, the Great Red Sky Saber was still a broken blade. Number 63 would not have had enough time to refine it."
The Dragon Hunter, still shrouded in black robes, said, "Take your time to get used to it, check the blade for anything unusual, and thoroughly cleanse the blade with fire before preparing for battle!"
"Who needs to wake me?" Number 72 asked, his twenty-meter-tall dark blue-green metallic body wielding a crimson longsword that had grown to more than ten meters long, his eyes like thunder, like Chaos Immortal Demon capable of splitting the heavens and the earth!
"A native with supernatural powers. Remember, you must hunt him down and capture him with all your might. He is connected to a stable Exotic Power Space Pool. In some ways, he may be more valuable than top-tier contraband items," Zhuo Kong reminded him.
This statement immediately caused the light of the flames emanating from No. 72's entire body to shine, spreading outwards and making his whole body seem to be on fire.
The hunter warned, "Be careful, he carries dangerous items, one of which is the first treasure of this universe— the Dao Control Banner's Flagpole, which has transformed into a long spear, extremely sharp."
"Throughout history, the most glorious period of this universe was only when it came close to the center of the Supernatural World. After many shifts, this place is now considered a remote place, too far from the grand stage of the Supernatural Central World. Even if a native has supernatural powers, he is only holding a rural treasure. Can he collide with a top-level prohibited item like the Great Red Sky Saber?" Number 72 said calmly.
Despite his bias, he also stated a fact: the treasures far removed from the Supernatural Central World have not undergone the baptism of the strongest battles, have not been tested by blood and fire, and have no ranking.
Zhuo Kong's face darkened, and he said, "Don't be careless. The Imperial Dao Spear has clashed with the ancient and modern before, and it didn't break."
"Oh, give me the detailed information." Number 72 took it seriously.
Soon, all the audio and video data were transmitted, and he learned about Wang Xuan's fighting style and saw the vague outline of that terrifying Black Wood Box.
The sea of stars is not peaceful. A Merchant Fleet once approached the battlefield where Wang Xuan was fighting. Of course, when they were extremely far away, after scanning the terrifying scene, they immediately turned back and dared not get any closer.
Even so, it caused a huge uproar. Although the scanned image was very blurry and the figure of flesh and blood was not even clearly visible, many people believed that it should be Wang Xuan.
In the era after the collapse of mythology, who else possesses supernatural powers capable of fighting against space fleets with melee weapons? Currently, there is only one person.
"Star Annihilator were deployed, and distant planets were destroyed on the spot, yet not a single human being could be killed?"
In the universe, on various Starry Ground, among many races and beings, all are lost in thought. Are they still human?
This is Exhausted Era, and for someone to dare charge at Star Annihilator is against the rules and principles of this time; it's simply not "scientific."
Whether among extraordinary species or on technologically advanced planets, all races felt dizzy. This was becoming more and more Divine Illusion. Six or seven years ago, he was still fighting ordinary warships. He had only calmed down for a few years when his strength increased again.
Even the Transcendent Immortals and gods who had been reduced to ordinary people had changed their gazes, staring at the blurry image, speechless for a long time.
"Are you sure it's Wang Xuan? After all, we can't see him clearly. There's only Supernatural Light flowing away, and even that weapon is submerged in runes. It can't be him, can it?" someone wondered.
"Could it be an extraordinary person who was attacked unexpectedly and then suddenly erupted!" Some people have suggested this idea, but it is only discussed within a very small circle, because even the senior members of the Transcendent Immortals do not know about "extraordinary people".
"It should still be Wang Xuan. Although that Supernatural Factor was particularly dazzling this time, and different from the past, after comparison and analysis, it is still the same substance."
In the sea of stars, many people from various races were stunned. The gods were particularly bewildered, unable to understand how he could still cultivate and become increasingly powerful.
Some deities, once they decide to visit the Old Earth, will send representatives, just as the Transcendent Immortals sent Zhou Yaosheng and Li Tianxian to have a secret meeting.
The gods had various thoughts, hoping that one day they could be revived with the King Earth Immortal and leave this Great Universe, even if it meant being sent as pawns to explore the way.
What are the old grudges and resentments? These are not big issues. They are just the grievances of a very small number of people. They can be put aside and sincerely apologized for.
Upon seeing that scene, Yuan Dao immediately deduced that Zhuo Kong and the Dragon Hunter were about to take action, and that a fierce, storm-like offensive was inevitable.
Because he knew those two people too well, and at the same time, his expression grew increasingly cold. Those two really wanted him to be the vanguard, to be cannon fodder.
He was one of the Four Great Fallen Ones; how could he have fallen to this state?
"The tomb hasn't even moved yet, and you're coming out to take charge of everything? I hope you crash and burn!" He cursed maliciously, truly enraged by the two men.
Deep in space, Wang Xuan wandered with his Mechanical Xiao. There was no danger, and he wasn't too worried. There was a normal shipping route here, and they weren't far from a wormhole.
This was the first time he had ever traveled under the stars using his physical body. With the strength of Master of Nurturing Life and carrying the Imperial Dao Spear, he felt no fear whatsoever.
On the contrary, he treated it as a special experience. Even though he was indeed as insignificant as a speck of dust, he was not going to die.
Two days later, they spotted the Merchant Fleet. As it approached, a group of people were truly terrified. These... were living beings floating in the cold universe? They were rapidly approaching!
At this point, there was no need to flex one's muscles. Everything was peaceful, and Wang Xuan and the Mechanical Xiao smoothly entered the spaceship, receiving the most grand and enthusiastic welcome.
Wang Xuan didn't make things difficult for them, nor did he want to implicate them. It would be bad if the Fallen One targeted them and launched another attack.
He asked the captain if there were any space pirates nearby, received an affirmative answer, and was directed to a slightly dangerous area before the two separated.
Not long after, Wang Xuan and the Mechanical Xiao once again possessed their own large warship— the Red Skull.
He made no attempt to conceal his intentions and began sending out various messages to Gray Organization and major powers on different Starry Ground to gather information on the enemy's whereabouts.
Soon, he did receive a special signal. After the Mechanical Xiao deciphered it, he learned that someone was sending him a message: the Fallen One were about to attack him.
The name of their operation this time is—whaling!
He was told that powerful whalers had appeared and danger was approaching.
In fact, on an island in the North Sea of Yuanlan Star, Zhuo Kong, the Dragon Hunter, and No. 72 are indeed preparing for battle and will soon take action.
"He is indeed very special. The Exotic Power Space Pool connecting his physical body and spirit is priceless. However, to say that the number one treasure of this universe can block Gu Jin is an exaggeration. First, Gu Jin has exhausted his Supernatural Factor and is in his weakest state. Second, the Imperial Dao Spear collided with the Black Wood Box, not with the real Gu Jin inside."
Number 72 ran his metal fingers over the gleaming red blade, calm and confident, and said, "Treasures that have never entered the Supernatural Central World are not considered true prohibited items. Many so-called sacred objects lose their spiritual power after being transferred to another universe. Even slightly powerful treasures need to spend a long time adapting to the rules of the Supernatural Central World. By then, they may have changed owners several times."
Although he was a mechanical life form, his metallic face still possessed vivid expressions, revealing a cold demeanor as he said, "The most terrifying thing about the Great Red Sky Saber is that even in the remote Great Universe, it can still illuminate the Great Scarlet Sky Light of the Supernatural Central World. The Imperial Dao Spear, which I've never heard of before, will most likely become a rural treasure after undergoing the baptism of the rules of the Central World. Let's hunt, I'm ready to whaling!"
