Void Coffin

Chapter 050

"The White Shadow's true form is still alive..."

Li Mu's eyes flickered.

The White Shadow he had burned to death during his Nirvana process was merely a secret technique used by the remnant soul of the City Lord of Titan Sky City. It was a clone created by splitting part of his soul, capable of merging with the void to roam and strip away life.

As for the true form of the White Shadow's remnant soul, it had fallen into a near-death slumber after creating the White Shadow.

If he could find a way to enter Titan Sky City, he could completely resolve the White Shadow's true form, even obtain a precious Subordinate Module, and potentially gain access to Titan Sky City's wealth. However, getting in and out alive would be incredibly difficult.

The transparent flames he saw were actually Titan Sky City's defense system.

The transparent flames caused no damage to Titan Sky City itself, only devastating harm to all outsiders.

But the most dangerous thing wasn't the transparent flames, but the center of Titan Sky City. A main cannon blast from a mysterious Seedship had sunk Titan Sky City, and the residual mysterious energy from the central wound was the most fatal danger.

Li Mu pondered for a moment, put away the Phoenix, and carved out a small Basement underground to temporarily shelter.

Relying solely on himself, it was indeed impossible to enter Titan Sky City.

But with external help, it wasn't necessarily impossible.

Logging into the Spark Network, Li Mu consumed one card of HuoZhong Source Power to activate temporary access.

Within one minute, he could freely browse the Spark Network.

The network fees were too expensive, so he cherished every second.

He directly logged into the official network of the Spark Alliance in the Spark World, using the search engine to quickly find answers to the questions he wanted to know. Some information he wanted wasn't free, but he quickly memorized the free parts using his Hypermnesia.

After memorizing most of what he wanted to know, he began searching for various disposable Spark Artifacts.

There were only two requirements: no usage conditions and the ability to merge with the void.

The Spark World was too vast. His conditions seemed difficult to him, but in reality, they were nothing. In an instant, tens of thousands of listings appeared. After more than ten minutes of selection, he finally ordered a disposable Spark Artifact.

It cost a full 150,000 HuoZhong Coin, for which he uploaded 15 million cards of Spark Energy.

The Spark Energy converted to HuoZhong Coin resulted in a loss of ninety percent. Li Mu could only hope he hadn't gambled and lost this time.

The Spark Artifact, with free shipping, was delivered instantly through the Spark Network.

A void vortex appeared out of thin air before Li Mu, and a palm-sized metal box emerged from it.

Unlocking it via Spark Network verification, he opened the metal box to reveal a spark.

[Void Spirit: Disposable Spark Artifact]

[Quality: Blue Earth Grade]

[Effect: The Void Spirit can grant inanimate objects the ability to temporarily merge with the void. The duration of the merge depends on the stability of the space. After the merge, the inanimate object that merged with the Void Spirit will be shattered along with the Void Spirit.]

[Evaluation: The Void Dungeon welcomes you to purchase all Void HuoZhong.]

Li Mu directly ignored the evaluation. After fusing the Origin HuoZhong with the Void Spirit, he integrated the Void Spirit into a specially made Alchemy Puppet.

The hummingbird-shaped Alchemy Puppet instantly merged into the void, passing through the transparent flames outside Titan Sky City, and soon arrived at the wound in the city center. Since Bai Ying could freely enter and exit by merging into the void, the Alchemy Hummingbird fused with the Void Spirit should also be fine.

Following the wound deep inside, the Alchemy Hummingbird soon saw the shattered remains of a Cruiser.

The Alchemy Hummingbird pounced directly and found an unextinguished HuoZhong on one of the wreckage pieces.

Without time to observe further, Li Mu used Apparition through the Alchemy Hummingbird at close range.

The HuoZhong instantly disappeared, and the Alchemy Hummingbird disappeared with it.

Li Mu looked at the HuoZhong that flickered into existence through Apparition before him. Spark Energy immediately enveloped it.

[Void Coffin: Shipborne Subordinate Module]

[Quality: Cyan Heaven Grade]

[Level: LV1 (Cruiser sunk and returned for initialization)]

[Attributes: Integrated into the Medical Bay, it can store the Captain's soul at the moment of near-death. The soul sleeping in the Void Coffin can prevent soul injuries from worsening and can absorb life and soul to slowly heal the Captain's soul.]

[Hint: The Void Coffin is currently ownerless, but there is a remnant soul sleeping within the Void Coffin.]

[Enhancement Requirements: 10,000 units of HuoZhong Source Power, one Cyan Void Source Core]

"A coffin for medical use..."

Li Mu's mouth twitched.

Although this thing was a bit ominous, its attributes were truly precious.

While far inferior to Nirvana, it was equivalent to having an extra life, more or less.

This thing was useless to him. His Nirvana talent allowed not just his body but also his soul to undergo Nirvana. As long as the Shipboard Spark did not extinguish, the soul he integrated into the Shipboard Spark could undergo Nirvana. Therefore, this Void Coffin was of no use to him.

However, Li Mu still fused the Void Coffin through the Shipboard Spark and then arrived at the Medical Bay, which now had an extra coffin.

Without opening the Void Coffin, he directly controlled the remnant soul within using the Imperius Curse.

But every attempt failed. Helpless, he could only use the Killing Curse to slowly obliterate the remnant soul. The dying remnant soul, already on its last breath, had no ability to counterattack. While still asleep, it perished silently and completely.

Through the Shipboard Spark, Li Mu dissolved the fusion between the Phoenix and the Void Coffin.

Once again logging into the Spark Network, this time he was selling the Void Coffin he hadn't even gotten warm yet.

Using the Spark Alliance's official search engine, Li Mu discovered that receiving vocational training as a Spark Captain was very difficult. At least, he currently had no way to afford it. The tuition alone, which could be described as astronomical, was enough to make him back down.

Fortunately, there were not a few Spark Captains in the Spark World who were as poor as he was.

Therefore, he could purchase basic teaching materials for Spark Captains to self-study. How much he could learn would depend on his own abilities. These teaching materials weren't too expensive; a few tens of thousands of HuoZhong Coins could easily buy them.

What was truly expensive were the vocational skill Sparks for Spark Captains. Each of these Sparks was sky-high in price.

But without these Sparks, one would only be a half-baked Spark Captain.

Li Mu could only hope the Void Coffin would fetch a high price on the Spark Network auction. Otherwise, he'd have to auction off the Spark Artifacts he had equipped. Without the three most basic vocational skill Sparks, he wouldn't be able to truly pilot the Phoenix, even if he reached the next otherworld.

While he was still waiting for the auction results, he suddenly received an invitation message on the Spark Network.

Someone was inviting him for an in-person meeting on the Spark Network. The inviter was also a Spark Captain. This person didn't have enough money to buy the Void Coffin but had vocational skill Sparks for a Sparkship. They were willing to compensate for the price difference and exchange it for the Void Coffin.

PS: Thanks to brothers [Lonely Burning Cloud] and [Lan Feng Zi Yun 11] for the 100 reward.
