As Zhang Junbao descended deeper underground, reaching a depth of 15,000 meters, a near-mad voice kept shouting.
"Fifty thousand years, I've waited fifty thousand years, and finally I've found someone who can barely accept the old master's legacy. The humans on this planet called Earth are just too incompetent!"
Unfortunately, my exploration scope is limited. On this tiny planet Earth, it's so difficult to even find a human with Brain Domain Width of 30 or more.
Fortunately, my great Babata is smart enough to use the energy of the Wood Bud Crystal to cultivate many so-called ' Spirit of Plants and Trees ' on the small islands on the ground, which are of great help to mankind. I actually found a suitable successor!
Hahaha, my great Babata, you really are the smartest!
Come quickly, Zhang Junbao! I will guide you in your cultivation, inheriting the legacy of our old master!
If, if one day in the future you become a great and Immortal Expert, you must avenge your old master!
Perhaps it was tears of joy, perhaps it was the long period of not interacting with people, or perhaps it was nostalgia for its old master, but the Intelligent Life Babata actually shed a few tears. Although it was only a virtual simulation, its emotions were incredibly real.
"Target approaching, spaceship stealth simulation, shut down!"
Deep underground, amidst countless piles of rocks, one particularly thick rock began to tremble.
Then, with a 'whoosh,' just like a bubble bursting, the thick rock vanished into nothingness, disappearing from its previous location...
A dusty, half-open hatch appeared!
Inside the spaceship, Babata quickly composed himself, averting his gaze and adopting a serious expression. He was the great and ruthless Lord Babata, and he absolutely could not allow outsiders to see his vulnerable side.
Zhang Junbao, who was going deeper into the area, suddenly stopped because he discovered that a place that had previously appeared as just Stone after being scanned with his Spiritual Force had suddenly changed.
Although surrounded by darkness, Zhang Junbao, with his peak-level eyesight as Wargod, still managed to see that unusual place within the darkness.
Zhang Junbao manipulated his Spiritual Force to immediately push aside the large amount of rocks and soil around him.
He saw an ancient hatch half-open ahead. Although the surface was covered in dust, it was clear that the hatch behind the dust was completely unaffected.
Tens of thousands of years are not enough to leave a mark on this powerful spaceship.
"This must be it!" Zhang Junbao concealed his excitement. Even he was deeply shocked to see the ruins of a spaceship from a cosmic civilization with his own eyes.
Since he was guided here, surely the Intelligent Life inside wouldn't deliberately try to trick him?
Zhang Junbao cautiously entered the hatch, the Dragon Roar Sword in his hand, throwing knives swirling around him. Although he knew that if the ruins attacked, he might be completely powerless to defend himself with his current strength, a necessary level of vigilance was still required. Zhang Junbao would not entrust his fate entirely to an unknown Intelligent Life.
Inside the hatch is a passageway about twelve meters wide and eight meters deep, at the end of which is a wide passageway to the left and right.
"That's... Wood Bud Crystal?" Zhang Junbao's eyes lit up after walking a short distance.
Not far from the hatch entrance, hundreds of crystals, each faintly glowing with a white aura, were piled together.
A dense, rich aroma of rice filled Zhang Junbao's nostrils, and the intense aura of Cosmic Energy nearly suffocated him.
Zhang Junbao quickly collected all the Wood Bud Crystal and put them into his backpack. Regardless of what would happen next, it was important to secure the treasures he could get right now.
As he picked up the Wood Bud Crystal, Zhang Junbao continued to comb and count.
"There are 368 in total. It seems Babata hasn't had a chance to throw the Wood Bud Crystal out to attract powerful individuals. That makes sense; no one on Mist Island has noticed them yet. Even if he did throw them out, it would only attract a bunch of monsters."
Zhang Junbao knew that the Wood Bud Crystal was just the cheapest treasure in this ruin; there was much more precious wealth hidden inside.
However, the value of these Wood Bud Crystal alone already exceeds the total wealth possessed by all the current powerful beings on Earth.
Zhang Junbao continued forward. At the end of the passage, there was a fork in the road, splitting into two passages, one on the left and one on the right.
Zhang Junbao peered into the passage and saw that the walls, which were originally made of metal, now had nine huge fist-shaped imprints!
On the ground of the passage, a huge corpse was leaning against something.
"This is a creature from an alien civilization? It's already dead." Zhang Junbao held his breath and carefully observed the huge corpse. The corpse's structure was similar to a human, with a dark body surface and extremely thick arms.
He was wearing a suit of armor covered in special ciphers. The ciphers were extremely complex. Zhang Junbao's Spiritual Force penetrated into them, but there was no response. It was as if it was swallowed up.
What was most terrifying were its blood-red eyes. Zhang Junbao met its gaze for a moment, as if he were witnessing an ancient god descending to earth. Fortunately, he held firm to his composure and looked away in time, thus avoiding losing his composure.
It was a kind of oppression from the depths of the soul, a suppression of the very essence of life!
"A corpse that has been dead for countless years, with just one look from it, almost made me lose my composure. This is the power of the universe!"
Compared to them, Earth Humans are not even ants!
Zhang Junbao was deeply moved. Although he was a martial arts master, under the suppression of such absolute power, his hundreds of years of cultivation seemed insignificant in front of them.
"The vast universe, I must go there. That's where martial artists truly belong. So what if they're countless times stronger than me now? Compared to them, the amount of time humans spend cultivating is nothing. As long as I have enough time, what's wrong with becoming as strong as them, or even surpassing them!"
After a brief moment of shock, Zhang Junbao quickly regained his composure. The only difference between these powerful beings in the universe was that they had cultivated for a longer period of time. However, Zhang Junbao was confident that in terms of comprehension and temperament, he was absolutely no less capable than anyone else.
The strength of a person lies in their self-confidence!
Although you are stronger than me, you won't be stronger forever. One day I will surpass everyone and stand at the top again! This is Zhang Junbao's incredibly strong self-confidence. Every difficulty and pressure will become a cornerstone on his path to growth.
Zhang Junbao continued forward, passing the corpses.
At the end of the passage, Zhang Junbao found a large gate, which was over ten meters wide and ten meters high, and was currently half-open.
Zhang Junbao stepped inside.
What came into view was a magnificent, semi-circular hall, tens of meters high and nearly two hundred meters wide. Inside the hall were six strangely shaped corpses.
Although they were motionless, each corpse was lifelike, as if they were Immortal beings.
One of the corpses was made entirely of metal.
Beep beep beep!
Suddenly, a sound rang out in the hall, and a thick beam of light shone down from the dome above. A virtual figure, no more than 1.45 meters tall, appeared in the light, its body solid and impossible to tell from its real form.
It resembled a child, with two sharp horns growing from its forehead, blood-red eyes, and wearing a black robe, somewhat resembling the image of a little devil from human legends.
" Zhang Junbao, you've finally arrived! Welcome to the home of the great, all-knowing, and all-powerful Demon Babata!"
The fictional character calling himself Babata spreads his arms, striking a pose as if God loves the world.
Zhang Junbao narrowed his eyes, remained silent, and carefully examined Babata.
He was quite disappointed with Babata's overly childish entrance ceremony.
Although Babata tried his best to appear imposing, even elevating himself to be taller than Zhang Junbao and looking down at him, Zhang Junbao felt that his overly affected manner lacked any semblance of a strong person and resembled more of a children's play.
"Little boy, your pants aren't on properly!"
Unable to hold back any longer, Zhang Junbao couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.
