Although the Voyager's linked Soul Tool Shield successfully withstood the Demon Empress's attack, which was powerful enough to shatter mountains, the power of the million-year-old Ferocious Beast was terrifying. The violent impact and energy shock still transmitted through the shield, causing multiple damages to the ship's structure.
Some of the external armor plates were dented and cracked, and several conduit lines melted due to overload, emitting burnt black smoke.
When Kong Xuan activated the Sea-Calming Divine Needle and killed the Demon Empress with a single blow, the energy shockwaves that swept in all directions also caused some damage to the Voyager's sophisticated soul-guiding array and external facilities.
If, ten thousand years from now, Soul Guidance Technology has reached its peak and the division of labor has become highly specialized, there would be dedicated "mech repairmen" responsible for this kind of post-battle repair work.
But in this day and age, these Soul Engineer are all astonishing "Masters of Scrolls," veritable all-around Grandmaster combine design, forging, manufacturing, and repair.
The Soul Engineer aboard the Voyager are valiant warriors who operate Soul Cannon and maintain protective shields during battle; after the battle, they naturally transform into a group of highly skilled and efficient "repairmen."
Under Captain Luo Yuan's command, the entire ship quickly switched from combat readiness to emergency repair mode.
In less than a day, the main damage to the Voyager was basically repaired, and it immediately set sail again towards the New World.
Several days later.
The massive steel hull of the Voyager cut through the azure sea, leaving a trail of white in its wake.
Inside a cabin on the upper deck of the Voyager, powerful fluctuations of Soul Power rose and fell and flowed regularly, just like the tides.
The sailors and Soul Engineer passing by all slowed their pace involuntarily, glancing with awe at the tightly closed hatch.
Having witnessed Kong Xuan casually slaying Ferocious Beast, everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of awe towards him.
Sensing the cultivation fluctuations emanating from inside the cabin, they naturally dared not approach and began to proceed with extreme caution, even in their work.
Inside the cabin, Kong Xuan sat cross-legged on the bed, the almost tangible aura of Soul Power around him slowly receding, like the receding tide, returning to his body without a trace.
He exhaled a long breath, slowly opened his tightly closed eyes, a red glint flashed in his golden pupils, and finally returned to a deep calm.
Feeling the Soul Power flowing through his meridians, more powerful and refined than before, Kong Xuan couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
"Indeed, a horse won't get fat without night grazing, and a person won't get rich without unexpected wealth..."
He muttered to himself, reciting a rather apt proverb from another world.
Absorbing and refining the right arm bone originating from the Demon Empress of a million years ago actually caused his Soul Power to surge by two levels, saving him at least four months of arduous cultivation.
The Demon Empress's million-year-old Soul Bone also granted Kong Xuan two powerful Soul Bone Skill.
The first Soul Skill is called Demonic Ultimate Divine Light. This Demonic Ultimate Divine Light seems to be able to ignore the barriers of space and directly affect the target's soul and existence itself.
Not only does it cause terrifying penetrating and tearing damage, but even more terrifyingly, it can instantly interfere with the target's perception of time and space, causing them to fall into a brief state of "temporal and spatial distortion," where their thoughts stagnate, their actions freeze, and they can only be slaughtered at will!
Therefore, this Demonic Ultimate Divine Light not only deals high damage, but also comes with a powerful control effect.
The second skill is called Devour, which comes from the innate ability of the Deep Sea Demon Whale. It can enhance itself by devouring Soul Beast and even humans, which is exactly the ability of Evil Soul Master.
However, the absorption effect that Kong Xuan obtained was not limited to that; it also allowed him to absorb energy, which, simply put, meant he could absorb the energy attacks of his enemies to strengthen himself!
This effect alone is enough to qualify it as a god-level ability!
It was precisely because he had obtained these two powerful Soul Bone Skill that Kong Xuan couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
Time slipped away quietly during the day-to-day voyage. As expected of an incredibly experienced captain, Luo Yuan's initial estimate of the voyage time was completely accurate.
For more than two months, through sixty or seventy days and nights, the Voyager traversed calm, mirror-like blue seas, braved raging storms and turbulent eddies, and even experienced a brief but thrilling life-or-death ordeal with the Demon Empress.
On this day, the morning sea fog had not yet completely dissipated, and the eastern sky was just beginning to lighten with the first hint of dawn.
As usual, the Soul Engineer in charge of lookout aimed his high-powered Soul Guidance Telescope directly ahead of the course.
At first, all I could see was that seemingly endless expanse of deep blue, blending seamlessly with the gray sky.
However, at a certain moment, as the sea breeze gently parted a thick layer of fog, and the morning light just happened to brighten the sky...
"Land... land! Land has been spotted ahead!"
The lookout's voice rose sharply with extreme excitement, even cracking slightly, and instantly traveled throughout the entire ship via the soul-guided communicator.
That shout instantly brought the entire Voyager to life!
Hundreds of eyes were fixed on the front of the Voyager. Under the maximum scanning range of the Soul Tool, the dark shadow continued to extend horizontally, as if it had no boundaries!
Therefore, this is definitely not an ordinary island in the ocean, but a continent!
After comparing the nautical charts with the route, Captain Luo Yuan finally determined that this was the key point of their voyage—the New World!
After about another hour of sailing, the Voyager finally came to a safe stop in waters a few miles from the coast of that new continent.
Kong Xuan turned to Captain Luo Yuan beside him and said calmly, "Senior Luo, the two of us need to explore deeper into this continent. We'll have to trouble you and the Voyager to wait here."
Having witnessed Kong Xuan's unfathomable abilities and his ability to kill the Demon Empress with a wave of his hand, Luo Yuan was not worried about Kong Xuan's safety at all.
Upon hearing this, a hearty smile spread across his face, and he said, "Don't worry, Tower Master, we'll be right here, waiting for your return."
Even before leaving the Sun Moon Empire, this voyage had been prepared according to the highest standards of long-term exploration.
The warship has several large Storage Soul Tool containing enough food, medicine, and other supplies to supply the entire crew for more than a year.
Kong Xuan said no more, only nodded slightly.
Immediately, he and Gu Yuena exchanged a glance, and the next moment, their figures blurred simultaneously, and like two arrows released from a bow, they soared into the sky from the Voyager, flying towards the continent not far away.
Kong Xuan and Gu Yuena stood suspended in mid-air above this brand-new continent.
A strong high-altitude airflow blew through their clothes and hair, and beneath their feet lay a vast, boundless land.
The deep green primeval forest stretches to the horizon like a thick velvet carpet, dotted with winding rivers like silver ribbons, mirror-like lakes, and the faint outline of majestic mountains in the distance.
A hint of hesitation flashed in Gu Yuena's purple eyes. This matter concerned the Dragon God and the ultimate destiny of the Soul Beast Clan. Even though she had a considerable degree of trust in Kong Xuan, she couldn't help but need to confirm it again at this moment.
"Are you sure... there really is the legacy of the Dragon God on this continent?"
Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan replied seriously, "Of course I wouldn't joke about this matter."
"However, Na'er, I cannot determine the exact location of Dragon Valley."
His gaze fell on Gu Yuena: "This... we'll have to rely on you."
"As the Silver Dragon King, your perception of dragon aura should be the most accurate."
"If the Dragon God's legacy truly resides here..."
Gu Yuena slightly raised her chin, her voice clear and firm. "Then, no matter how deeply it is hidden, it will surely be able to sense its call and find the path to Dragon Valley!"
