Aboard the warship.
Ji Ning and the others stared at the massive, distant wave, and the savage, sky-filling aura the wave emanated. All of them had heavy feelings in their hearts.
“These monsters... after I bind the Immortal estate, I am going to enve all of them. All of them!” Youngme Nong stared at the distant monsters, his face turning savage. He also gritted his teeth, then produced in his hand a queer contraption that was the size of a person’s head. Extraordinarily powerful ripples emerged from it.
Ning and the others couldn’t help but look at this item.
“A Wildcore?” Mu Northson called out in surprise.
Ning and the others, including Adept Vastriver, Ninelotus, and Xue Hongyi, all had puzzled looks on their faces. Clearly, they had no idea what this was.
“You actually know about Wildcores?” Youngme Nong nodded. “Right. This is a Wildcore! An Immortal-grade Wildcore.”
“But your construct-warship is only at the Heaven-rank. If you put this Immortal-grade Wildcore into this construct-warship, it won’t be able to withstand the power. Even if it looks perfectly fine from the outside, the formation diagrams inside it will begin to crumble. Your construct-warship will be doomed.” Northson couldn’t help but voice his concerns.
“It will be able to hold for a short period of time, the time needed to boil a kettle of tea,” Youngme Nong said calmly. He then immediately pressed the head-sized Wildcore towards the nks of the warship.
Whoosh.
A dark corridor naturally appeared in the floorboards of the warship, and the Wildcore burrowed within.
“For at least that period of time, this warship of mine will be able to reach a level that approaches the Immortal-rank. Perhaps it wouldn’t be able to withstand the attacks of Celestial Immortals, but these monstrous Dao-soldiers won’t be able to break my warship,” Youngme Nong said in a low voice.
“What’s a Wildcore?”
“Junior apprentice-brother, what sort of a thing is this Deste Heart?”
Ning and the others, puzzled, all sent mental messages to Northson.
Northson was extremely skilled in the Dao of Constructs, and he also understood Wildcores very well. He immediately sent back, “It’s quiteplicated, but to simplify it... Wildcores are, in reality, meant to be used for Immortal-ranked construct-warships, allowing them to temporarily explode with power. Immortal-ranked construct-warships are able to withstand this sort of sudden increase in power... but Immortal-ranked warships are far more valuable than even ordinary Immortal-ranked magic treasures. Even young master Youngme most likely doesn’t possess this sort of warship.”
“Thus, Youngme Nong is cing his Wildcore into the warship he is using. His warship is actually very good as well; it is Heaven-ranked, and a very precious one. But the power of a Wildcore is simply too great, and this Heaven-ranked construct-warship cannot endure it. Even though its own ‘body’, being a magic treasure, won’t be damaged, the formations and diagrams within it will begin to crumble,” Northson said.
Although Ning and the others understood little of this craft, they understood the importance of formation-diagrams.
The formation-diagrams of a construct served as their core; they were what made the constructs work properly! It was precisely because of the existence of formation-diagrams that constructs were able to possess sentience and unleash powerful, precise attacks. Once the formation-diagrams crumbled, the entire construct would be finished.
“One warship, one Wildcore,” Youngme Nong growled. “We have to enter this pce. We have to!”
Ning and the others exchanged nces. They could all sense Youngme Nong’s resolve.
.......
The warship steadily moved forward. Immortal Duohe, inmand of more than twenty thousand monstrous Dao-soldiers, stared coldly as it approached.
“Kill.’
“Kill that Fiendgod. Kill those humans.”
These monstrous Dao-soldiers were all eager and impatient. However, without Immortal Duohe’s order, nobody dared to attack rashly.
Finally...
The seemingly cid and calm warship, that had been advancing at an ordinary speed, suddenly began to glow with a dazzlingly brilliant golden light. Its aura vastly increased, and a golden halo suddenly covered the entire warship as it became criss-crossed with lines of power. It seemed to have transformed into a long awl, shuttling through the air at an iparably astonishing speed towards the massive, sky-filling Seawave Dao-soldier formation.
It was too fast! The warship’s sudden explosion of speed made it move lightning-fast, catching the Seawave Dao-soldiers off-guard.
“Kill!” Immortal Duohe’s already-gravelly voice suddenly rang out in the minds of every single Dao-soldier. All of them activated their elemental ki into their Dao-armors, and an enormous, endless amount of elemental ki passed through their armors as more than twenty thousand monstrous Dao-soldiers merged powers.
As for Immortal Duohe, he was the ‘head’ of this massive Seawave Dao-soldier formation. How to attack and how to defend... it was all up to him.
“Let’s go,” Immortal Duohe howled. The massive wave came smashing down towards the lightning-fast warship. BOOM! The wave heavily struck the warship head-on.
The golden aura surrounding the warship, however, just trembled once, then regained it’s perfect stability. However, the collisive power was simply too great, causing the warship to be knocked backwards.
“We can’t charge them head-on,” Northson shouted hurriedly.
Ning and the others, standing within the warship, were iparably stable. All of them had solemn looks on their faces, and they raised their heads to stare at the massive wave which came crashing down upon them once again.
“Uncle Fang, go,” Youngme Nong said, gritting his teeth.
“Alright.” Xiangliu Fang let out a growling response, and each of his hands became filled with a long awl that emanating an astonishing aura. And then... swoosh! He passed straight through the outeryer of golden light surrounding the warship. The golden light didn’t impede him at all, allowing Xiangliu Fang to leave.
“Monsters, f*ck off.”
Xiangliu Fang, having transformed into his true form of a three thousand meter tall, nine-headed, serpent-bodied Hydraga, went forward to sh with the massive, sky-filling wave. He began tounch his attack.
By now, his awls were also three thousand meters long. They struck out like the galloping thunder or the dancing lightning, stabbing directly into the wave.
“Puny Fiendgod, don’t even think of affecting us.” Immortal Duohe’s voice boomed out, and the massive, savage wave sent out another surge of power, smashing directly against the Fiendgod, Xiangliu Fang.
BOOM!
BOOM!
Skin tore open, and flesh split apart. Blood flew everywhere. One of the long awls was knocked flying, while Xiangliu Fang himself was sent hurtling through the air as well. Last time, although he was capable of fighting against Immortal Duohe’s monstrous Dao-soldiers, there had only been ten thousand of them. This time, Immortal Duohe had unified all of the other smaller powers, forming a Seawave Dao-soldier formation of more than twenty thousand monsters. The power had increased several times over, causing even Xiangliu Fang to bepletely unable to fight back.
“Come.” Xiangliu Fang’s hands stretched out, transforming into countless giant snakes andtching onto the discarded awl. The injuries on his body rapidly healed, and he once more fearlessly charged forward.
BOOM. BOOM. BOOM.
The shes between the Fiendgod and the wave contained enough power to shock the heavens and shake the earth.
Although the Fiendgod, Xiangliu Fang, was in a position of absolute inferiority, he still managed to divert arge part of the power of the Seawave Dao-soldiers. For a moment, the warship, seeming iparably tiny in the face of this vast wave, was able to once more advance at high speed, seizing the chance to hurtle forwards.
“Detestable.” Immortal Duohe was frantic as well. If he had to deal with Xiangliu Fang, it was hard to avoid the warship from advancing through openings in their defense.
He had no idea how this warship could have suddenly grown so powerful; despite the power of the waves and the collisive force of the blows, they still weren’t able to force the warship back.
“Zhenbao, youe and lead my tribe,” Immortal Duohe sent mentally. “We will divide into two Seawave Dao-soldier formations.”
“Yes, Master.”
Zhenbao was the disciple which Immortal Duohe trusted the most, and was second only to him in power. He was already a peak Primal, and was extremely powerful.
“Divide!”
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The massive wave in the air instantly split apart, dividing into two. The Seawave Dao-soldier formation personallymanded by Immortal Duohe, formed from many merged lesser monstrous tribes, went to block the Fiendgod, Xiangliu Fang. As for the other ten thousand Dao-soldiers, they were led by Daoist Zhenbao to block the warship.
......
Ning and the others, within the warship, watched as the massive Fiendgod battled with the giant wave. The warship continued to advance forward at high speed.
“Hahaha, it is capable of stopping Uncle Fang, but not me.” Youngme Nong’s eyes were filled with madness. “Keep charging. Charge to the edges of the pce, and I’ll be able to enter.”
Around them were countless waves, but the warship continued to charge forward with inexorable power.
“Eh?!”
The massive wave suddenly split apart, forming into two waves. Onepletely focused on stopping the Fiendgod, Xiangliu Fang, andpletely tied him down. The other, seemingly slightly weaker, waspletely focused on guarding against the encroaching warship.
The advance of the warship instantly grew much more difficult.
“They separated?” Youngme Nong ground his teeth. “Charge, charge, charge! Wildcore, ze for me!”
BOOM!!!!
The light on the surface of the warship suddenly skyrocketed in luminosity, and its charging power grew even more ferocious. The ten thousand monstrous Dao-soldiersmanded by Daoist Zhenbao werepletely capable of suppressing Loose Immortals or Earth Immortals, but in the face of this explosively powerful warship, they actually weren’t able to tie it down, and the warship continued to advance.
“Stop it, Zhenbao, stop it, stop it!” Immortal Duohe hurriedly sent a mental message.
“Don’t worry, master, leave it to me!” Daoist Zhenbao was going crazy as well. His entire wave suddenly grew even more savage, transforming into a bloody color. As for the warship, it too advanced forward at a berserk speed.
“Faster, faster, faster.” Youngme Nong gritted his teeth.
“Dangerous. This is dangerous. This is way too dangerous.” Northson’s eyelids were twitching as he watched. He hurriedly sent a mental message to Ning and the others, “Senior fellow disciples, be careful. Youngme Nong has gone utterly mad. This Heaven-ranked construct-warship was unable to withstand the Wildcore to begin with, and now he’s burning its power like mad, causing its power to explode even more in a short period of time. The formation-diagrams within this Heaven-ranked warship can copse at any moment. Once it does, the warship will be finished, and we’ll have to suffer the attacks from these ten thousand monstrous Dao-soldiers head on.”
Ning, Yu Wei, Adept Vastriver, and the others all began to feel nervous.
“Charge, charge, charge!” Youngme Nong’s face waspletely red, and madness was in his eyes.
“Madman. He’s a madman.” Xue Hongyi, seeing this, felt panic in his heart. In front of the warship was that terrifying Seawave Dao-soldier formation; it was capable of splitting the skin and rending the flesh of even a Fiendgod like Xiangliu Fang. If the warship was destroyed and the wave mmed against them, it would probably break them all into tiny pieces.
Crack...
Crack crack crack...
Suddenly, the entire warship began to emanate sounds. Its charging speed began to lessen, and the aura of golden light around it began to grow unstable, starting to shudder.
“It’s breaking. It’s breaking!” Northson immediately called out, “Young master Youngme!!!”
As for Daoist Zhenbao, who was inmand of the ten thousand monstrous Dao-soldiers, he naturally noticed that the speed of the warship he was in charge of dealing with was beginning to lessen, and that the golden light surrounding it was weakening. He immediately was overjoyed, and he bellowed out, “Kill them! Kill them all and seize the key!” Instantly, an even more terrifying wave-crest formed, smashing down viciously towards the warship!
