Chapter 2483: The Name Heard Across the Universe

That fight was destined to become a legend in the geno universe. Before the day was out, the battle was being discussed across the universe.

It was amazing that Lando had defeated and tamed the Tianxia Unicorn, but Han Sen's actions had stolen the show. Han Sen had somehow turned Lando into a deified mid-fight.

Before that day, Han Sen was just a King of little fame. In the vast universe filled with strange and incredible powers, he wasn't very special. If he hadn't killed Bai Yi and ended up being chased by the Extreme King, many people wouldn't have known who he was.

Even if he was a fugitive, he was still just a King. Few people would have said that there was anything special about him.

But after this fight, he became known as the Leader of all Gods. On any other day, the fact that such a name was used to refer to a mere King would have been very strange.

Some wise guys even gave Han Sen the title Daddy of Gods.

But that title was only used in secret. If any deified heard it, they probably would have found it annoying. No one wanted to jeopardize their own life by irritating a deified.

Regardless of that, the battle made Han Sen very famous. Everyone in the geno universe knew about him now, and so no one treated him as a measly King anymore.

He wasn't deified, but most people thought he was more mysterious than a deified.

There was nothing he could do about it, though. After all, he had been able to produce a deified. He didn't earn the name Daddy of Gods for nothing. Recent events had clearly established that he was different from most people.

Many deifieds and the leaders of the higher races knew that Han Sen couldn't just flip a switch to make someone deified, though. They suspected that there were more factors involved in Lando becoming deified.

But they still had a keen interest in Han Sen. Even if Han Sen couldn't produce a deified, he had undoubtedly influenced Lando's evolution. They wanted to know what kind of power Han Sen had wielded.

Even if that power couldn't create a deified, it seemed that he could somehow kickstart the evolution process. And any power that could aid the development of half-deifieds would be highly sought after by the races of the geno universe.

"Brother Dragon One, it looks like I won the bet," Klose said, looking at Dragon One.

"We Dragons stay true to our word. Every Dragon will now depart the Tianxia System." Dragon One grunted. He commanded the big turtle to depart.

Klose wasn't interested in watching Dragon One and the rest leave. He flew away to chase after Lando and Han Sen.

But now, Han Sen was worth far more than the bounty offered by the Extreme King. Although it didn't seem possible, if Han Sen truly could make deified elites, then he had just become priceless.

Han Sen and Lando rode the Tianxia Unicorn through the blue clouds. The wounds on the Tianxia Unicorn were almost healed, but the broken horn wouldn't grow back for some time.

The Tianxia Unicorn was very sad, and he wasn't happy to have Han Sen sitting on him. But he didn't want to disobey Lando's commands, either. So, he was a very grumpy animal at that moment.

Han Sen jumped off of the unicorn's back and looked up at Lando. "Per the terms of our agreement, can I go now?"

"You can't go," Lando said while looking calm.

"You're going to break your promise?" Han Sen frowned. He had suspected that this might happen, though, so he wasn't terribly surprised.

But if Lando really had decided to hold him against his will, it would make Han Sen's life very difficult.

Klose chuckled darkly and flew over to them. He came before Han Sen and said, "A promise is nothing to him. Don't you know he killed his own teacher?"

The man's three heads marked him as one of the Destroyed. Han Sen could immediately tell that Klose was a deified elite, but he ignored him. He continued looking at Lando, waiting for his answer.

Although Han Sen had prepared himself for the possibility of Lando breaking his promise, he didn't think Lando was the type of person who would do that. Their personalities might be very different, but Han Sen couldn't help but feel that he shared something in common with Lando.

"Lando, good job! Not only did you catch Han Sen, but you also became deified. And you tamed the Tianxia Unicorn in the process. When we return home, I will definitely put it to good use." Klose cast a substance chain toward Han Sen to tie him up.

But the substance chain didn't land on Han Sen. A purple, dragon-like substance chain flew forward to protect Han Sen. It swallowed Klose's power.

Klose's eyes widened, then suddenly narrowed. He looked at Lando and asked, "Lando, what are you doing?"

"I promised him that I would let him leave this place," Lando said quietly.

"Fine. You go on your way, and I will take him back myself," Klose said with a frown.

"I promised to let him leave here." Lando's face remained unmoved. His expression was as emotionless as a block of stone.

"Not bad. Not bad. Our promise was for me to leave here. Not die here or be taken by someone else." Han Sen laughed and clapped his hands.

"Lando, are you going to betray our ruler?" Black and white substance chains had begun to rise around Klose's body.

"I'm just keeping a promise I made," Lando said.

"You must think this through clearly. If you let Han Sen leave this place, then you are a traitor to the Destroyed. You know how we deal with traitors." Klose smiled threateningly. He went on to say, "Plus, the Dragon hate your guts now. And if you betray us, the Destroyed, do you think any other race in this universe will accept you?"

"Men that go with the flow are smart. You aren't a naive teenager. Destroying your future for the sake of a single promise isn't a good idea. I'm not going to stop you, though. If you want to leave, you may. And you can take what you've earned with you. But the prisoner is mine. I will take him back. It's none of your business, and you will have kept your promise." Klose reached out his hand to grab Han Sen.

"I told you that he is leaving here. Whoever tries to stop him will be trying to stop me," Lando said, his eyes locked on Klose.

Klose's expression turned grim as he stared back at Lando. He coldly said, "Lando, do you think that being deified will let you do whatever you want? You should know that a single deified means nothing to the Destroyed. We can still have you killed with ease."

"The Destroyed might be able to kill me, but you can't. You can leave now, okay?" Lando said, his voice as hard as granite.

Klose's face was frozen. Lando's words had made him angry. He knew that he wasn't weak, but Lando had the Demon Hell Dragon Tattoo and the Tianxia Unicorn on his side. If he fought Lando now, it would be one versus three. He couldn't win against those odds.

"I hope you don't regret this decision you have made," Klose snarled. Then he turned around and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Now that he has left, have you really become a traitor to the Destroyed?" Han Sen asked with a blink.

"This wouldn't be the first time I've become a traitor." Lando's face seemed to be devoid of emotion. He turned the Tianxia Unicorn to continue heading out of the system.

Chapter 2484: I Don't Like This Story

"You don't look like someone who would become a traitor. Can you tell me more about your past?" Han Sen asked with a look of great curiosity. He was still sitting behind Lando on the Tianxia Unicorn as they made their way out of the system.

He thought there had to be more to the story of Lando slaying his teacher. With Lando's power, assassinating a deified would have been incredibly difficult.

Plus, there shouldn't have been a reason for him to kill his own mentor. By doing so, he only would have gained the animosity of his own race and the distrust of others. There was no benefit.

"You are wrong. I really am a traitor that killed his teacher," Lando said emotionlessly.

"Can you tell me why?" Han Sen asked.

Lando hesitated. Han Sen noticed and quickly said, "I don't believe that you would kill your teacher for no reason. But if you don't want to tell me about it, that's fine. I won't push."

Han Sen's strategy of backing off the subject worked. Although it took Lando some time to respond, he eventually said, "It's not like I'm trying to keep the story a secret. It's just that if I told people, they wouldn't believe me anyway."

"I would believe you," Han Sen said with certainty.

"If I told you I was my teacher, would you believe it?" Lando asked, turning around to stare into Han Sen's eyes.

"I'm… not sure what to make of that statement. What do you mean?" Han Sen asked.

Lando faced forward again. They continued to fly forward for a long, quiet moment.

Han Sen's curiosity was amped up even more. He was afraid that Lando might refuse to discuss the subject any further, but fortunately, Lando again broke the silence. "You saw the Demon Hell Dragon Tattoo on my back, did you not? You know what that is?"

"I don't know." Han Sen shook his head. "Isn't that some kind of treasure?"

Lando explained the basics of what the Demon Hell Dragon Tattoo was and how it worked. Then he said, "People think my master worked hard for 10,000 years to obtain that Demon Hell Dragon Tattoo. But that isn't what happened at all. He found an easier way."

Upon hearing this, Han Sen felt a shiver pass through him. He had an intuition about where this story was going.

Lando went on to say, "He tried it before, but the pain was too much for even a deified being to endure. It wasn't long before he gave up on the idea, but he really wanted Dragon One's position, and he needed more power in order to claim it. So, he came up with a plan. And that is why I'm here today."

"In order to be successfully created and wielded, the Demon Hell Dragon Tattoo needed a body as a base. But Dragon Two found a way to circumvent the need to endure that pain. He used his genes to create a duplicate of himself. Then he set that clone to practicing with the Demon Hell Dragon Tattoo. When the process was complete, he planned to take the tattoo for himself. Because the clone had been created from his own genes, there wouldn't have been any compatibility issues. It would have been just like he had practiced with the Demon Hell Dragon Tattoo himself."

"That means that the person who suffered for 10,000 years was you?" Han Sen demanded angrily.

Lando nodded. "Because I was merely cloned from his genes, I didn't possess deified powers. Before I could practice with the Demon Hell Dragon Tattoo, I had to achieve King class powers at the very least. So, he let me start practicing. And to prevent the chance of there being compatibility issues further down the line, I learned all the same skills that he had learned in his youth."

"I was just a genetic clone. I didn't have memories, and I couldn't think for myself. I was like a baby. I only had the knowledge, thought processes, and powers that I was given. Other Dragons believed that I was his student. And his favorite student, at that. People thought he treated me like a son and gave me everything. He taught me many secret skills, but no one knew he did that for the sole purpose of replicating himself within me. If he hadn't trained me exactly the way he had been trained, he thought there might be issues when he tried to harvest the Demon Hell Dragon Tattoo."

Han Sen's heart sank as he listened. A deified elite had created and brainwashed a baby, all so he could inflict unimaginable pain on the child to further his own power.

Lando probably hadn't even fully understood why he was suffering.

"If you were a clone, you guys must have looked identical. Did no one else notice that?" Han Sen asked.

Lando smiled, and that smile was chilling. "Changing one's appearance isn't difficult. You just need to change a small number of your genes. For a deified, such a task is easy."

"That's what he thought, at least. He made a tiny change to my genes, just enough to alter my appearance. However, he never expected that this minor difference would end up changing everything."

"Although I was his clone, the environment I was raised in was different than Dragon Two's childhood. As the years went by, the tiny change he made to my genes was compounded by the differences in environment."

"It was a shame I didn't know anything about this back then. I thought I was his student, someone that he treated like his real son. I just wanted to show gratitude for what he had done for me. I wanted to finish the Demon Hell Dragon Tattoo. No matter the pain I suffered, I forced myself to endure it. I pushed myself so hard that I lost all feeling in my body." After saying that, Lando laughed. But Han Sen could tell that the laugh was forced. It was Lando's way of showing that he wasn't afraid of what had happened anymore.

Lando trailed off. Han Sen could guess what had happened next. Dragon Two must have revealed his scheme as Lando practiced the Demon Hell Dragon Tattoo. Lando must have fought with him, and that was why Dragon Two had died.

But Han Sen still didn't understand how Lando managed to kill Dragon Two. Even if he was Dragon Two's genetic clone, he didn't have Dragon Two's deified power.

Lando seemed to notice Han Sen's unspoken question. He shook his head and said, "It isn't what you're thinking. I didn't fight him. We transferred the Demon Hell Dragon Tattoo to him, and he couldn't wait to practice and push the tattoo to the final stage. The process went smoothly, just as he expected. The Demon Hell Dragon Tattoo came entirely under his control, and he used his own blood to refine it. The blend was a success, and there didn't seem to be any problems. Then, once the Demon Hell Dragon Tattoo reached deified class, he discovered that the Demon Hell Dragon Tattoo had a very strong compatibility issue."

"Imagine a man who has just had a heart transplant discovered that there was a compatibility issue. He went insane. He had already used more than half of his blood to push the Demon Hell Dragon Tattoo to deified status. The Demon Hell Dragon Tattoo was to be stronger than himself."

"So, he died. And you took back the Demon Hell Dragon Tattoo. Why were you labeled a traitor?" Han Sen still didn't understand.

Lando quietly said, "In the end, he couldn't handle the thought of his impending death. He tried to take my body, hoping that he could use my body to survive and regain control over the Demon Hell Dragon Tattoo."

"I don't like this story," Han Sen said with a sigh.

"I don't like it, either," Lando said.

Han Sen wanted to say something more, but something suddenly appeared in front of them. It came right toward Han Sen before he even had a chance to react.

"A deified Demon?" When Han Sen got close enough to see the body clearly, he raised his eyebrows.

Chapter 2485: Teacher Han

When Lando saw the deified Demon approaching, he tensed.

"Please don't misunderstand, I mean no harm! I would just like a chat with Teacher Han," the deified Demon shouted, lifting his hands.

"What are you talking about?" Han Sen looked at the deified Demon with confusion.

"My name is Moldo," the deified Demon said politely. "I'm one of the alpha's guards. I'm out looking for Teacher Han. I would like to invite you to come to the Demon as a guest."

Han Sen was surprised. Moldo was a deified being, and yet he was being so polite, as if they were the same level. The man's voice certainly carried the weight of respect. There was no indication that a deified being was speaking to a mere King.

"Don't worry, Mr. Han. We Demons mean no harm. If you are willing to visit us, we can guarantee your safety. No one will bother you," Moldo said. His manner of politeness had yet to change.

"What can I do for you and your people?" Han Sen asked Moldo, even though he knew where this was going to go.

Moldo, still being as courteous as possible, said, "Our leader would like it if Teacher Han was willing to bless him. If you are willing to do this, our entire society would greatly appreciate it."

"Give a blessing?" Han Sen was shocked. Then, he realized what Moldo actually meant. Han Sen narrowed his eyes in thought. "Are you not afraid that the Extreme King will come after you?"

"I am not going to lie," Moldo said seriously. "We cannot fight the might of the Extreme King, but we have a way that you can travel to us without attracting the attention of the Extreme King. Even if the Extreme King come looking, they won't be able to find you. They cannot threaten your safety."

"I see. But I'm afraid that each blessing costs an incredible amount of power. I cannot perform another blessing in such a short timeframe. I doubt I would be able to help your leader by blessing him," Han Sen said.

Using the Blood-Pulse Sutra's self-cogwheel cost a lot of energy, but Han Sen was making it sound worse than it was. He just didn't want to decline Moldo directly.

"That's okay," Moldo told him. "A blessing can't be rushed. If you don't mind, I am willing to provide you with protection. I won't allow anything to pull you into the clutches of the Extreme King."

"Thank you, but I have other things to do right now. I can't bother you to accompany me," Han Sen said.

If Han Sen went to see the Demon, he would owe them. They might end up being less polite than they were acting right now.

"In that case, I will not force you. But if you need anything, feel free to call us anytime. The Demon door will always be open for you." Moldo then waved to Han Sen and left.

Han Sen hadn't expected Moldo to leave just like that, but he suspected it might have something to do with Lando's presence. If Lando hadn't been there, Moldo would have likely just kidnapped him and taken him back to the Demons by force.

Han Sen and Lando kept going. They encountered a few more Kings and half-deifieds along the way. They were even more polite to Han Sen. Some people were like Moldo, inviting Han Sen to return to their homeworlds with them, but none dared to do anything ill to him. Lando's presence was great at deterring that sort of rudeness.

"Everyone knows you are Teacher Han," Lando said flatly. "Your life will be much easier now."

Han Sen smiled. "A genius like me should be called a teacher."

Lando ignored him. He wasn't interested in Han Sen's self-aggrandizement.

"You're so boring. At a time like this, you and I should be chatting," Han Sen said to Lando.

"You want me to compliment you?" Lando asked emotionlessly.

"You should say things like, 'Han Sen, you're the greatest genius in a thousand years!'" Han Sen said.

"Okay." Lando nodded and said nothing else. He wasn't interested.

The Tianxia Unicorn was native to the Tianxia System. It took them back to the blue clouds without difficulty, but Han Sen couldn't find the white whale anywhere. He began scouring the area.

"Where are Bao'er and the others?" Han Sen was worried. He was afraid an accident might have happened.

But with the power of the white whale and the little red bird, even if a deified being came after them, they should have been able to escape.

At this time, the white whale had come to a stop in a sea of green clouds. A flaming red phoenix had emerged from the white whale to do battle with a deified of the Extreme King. It was Bao Qin. The two were fighting like crazy, and fire roared everywhere. Harp acoustics broke the sky.

Instead of chasing after Han Sen, Bao Qin had come looking for Fang Qing Yu. Upon finding him, he also discovered the white whale. The white whale had a high level of defense, but it was unable to repel sonic powers.

Bao Qin used the harp to attack, and he tried to enter the white whale to beat up Fang Qing Yu and all the pirates.

The little red bird had to become a red phoenix to fight Bao Qin. The fight was so bad that it was destroying the cloudscape around them.

Bao Qin had brought other Kings and deifieds from the Extreme King, and they now surrounded the white whale. Luckily, the white whale had a high level of defense, and its weapon systems were good, too.

In the beginning, the Kings and half-deifieds weren't making much headway against the white whale. They couldn't penetrate its defenses.

But one of the half-deified beings could travel through solid material. He slid through the white whale's shell into its interior. He quickly realized that the white whale was actually a ship.

Bao'er was happily piloting the white whale, merrily fighting off the Kings and half-deifieds. Ning Yue was underneath a table with his hands on his head. His a*s was sticking out, and he was mumbling, "Don't kill me… don't kill me…"

Fang Qing Yue and the pirates were unable to help in a time like this. They hid behind Bao'er and kept shouting,

"Captain Bao'er is so awesome!"

"Little Captain is the strongest in the universe. Kill those motherf*ckers!"

"How dare they attack our beautiful little Captain Bao'er. You are already dead!"

"Little Captain, you can do it… you can do it!"

They continued to shout insults at the attackers, their faces red. And amidst all the noise, an Extreme King man suddenly entered the white whale. He traveled through all the walls and went straight for the command deck.

"Fang Qing Yu, you are here!" When Kiek saw Fang Qing Yu, he didn't stop. He was drawn to Bao'er, who was operating the machine.

"Isn't that Han Sen's daughter? You guys are all together? We've put so much manpower into looking for you!" Kiek realized what was going on. He looked furious, and he unleashed his King area. It covered the entire command deck.

Pang! Pang! Pang! Pang!

When the area landed, the pirates and Fang Qing Yu were crushed to the floor, like iron filings being pulled onto a magnet.

"Huh?" Kiek looked up in confusion, noticing that Bao'er was still piloting the white whale and fighting the Extreme King knights. She wasn't affected by his area.

Chapter 2486: Promised Him

Kiek's magnetic area wasn't the strongest King area in the Extreme King, but he was still a member of the third-highest race in the universe. His Magnet King Body was nothing to take lightly, especially since he was half-deified. Normal King class xenogeneics were unable to walk under the influence of his magnetic area.

Bao'er was just a kid, and she was somehow ignoring Kiek's magnetic area. That surprised him a lot.

He hesitated, then raised a palm. A black magnetic light appeared in his hand. He wanted to attack Bao'er who was still driving the white whale.

"Mister… please… I beg you… don't hurt her."

As Kiek was about to launch the magnetic light at Bao'er, a woman suddenly stood up. Straining against the might of the magnetic area, she stood before Bao'er and spoke with a trembling voice.

"You can move inside my magnetic area? You aren't bad." Kiek stared at her. He decided that he would need to get rid of her first. But the woman suddenly kneeled on the floor and bowed before him.

"Please don't kill me!" she pleaded from her knees. "Please, let us go! We are just useless women. We can't stop whatever it is you want to do. Please let us go as easily as you would release a fart."

Ning Yue kept begging, all the while repeatedly banging her head on the ground.

"Leave if you don't want to die," Kiek told her in a hard voice. He was quite famous in the Extreme King, and he wouldn't bother killing a woman if she was behaving like this.

"Yes, yes, yes. We will leave now!" Ning Yue got up and started to pull Bao'er away with her.

Pang!

The magnetic light hit Ning Yue in the face. Ning Yue was sent flying.

The powerful magnetic force drug Ning Yue across the ship and flung her into one of the ship's walls. Her face smacked into the wall and stuck to it. She couldn't pull herself away.

"You can leave by yourself. She stays." Kiek cast another magnetic light toward Bao'er.

Pang!

Somehow, Ning Yue had reappeared in front of Bao'er. She crossed her arms to block the magnet this time, and the sudden weight made her arms feel so heavy. They were sucked straight down to the floor. Her face smacked into the floor, and her mouth twisted.

"Mister, please let her go! She's just a kid, and I promised Han Sen I would protect his child." Ning Yue was lying on the floor in an awkward position. She cried freely, snot and tears running down her face.

"It looks as if you really do want to die," Kiek grunted, generating a magnetic light in his fist.

Ning Yue's pants suddenly became hot, and a puddle appeared on the floor. She had peed herself.

When Kiek smelled the urine, he frowned. He might get his hands dirty if he killed a woman like this. Ignoring Ning Yue, he turned his attention back to Bao'er again. The magnetic light in his hands was so bright that it was like a black sun.

Bao'er was still operating the white whale, guiding it to fight the Extreme King knights outside. She acted as if she had yet to see Kiek there.

Kiek's lips pressed into a thin line, and he prepared to throw the magnetic light at Bao'er. Ning Yue was pressed against the floor with her limbs shaking, but she still managed to crawl toward Kiek. When she was near his feet, she begged, "Mister, please let us go. We won't get in the way of whatever you want to do! And I can do anything for you…"

"Get lost, you dirty b*tch!" Kiek kicked Ning Yue in the face, the force of the blow sending her flying.

Pang!

Ning Yue hit the airship's wall, her face covered in blood. Her entire body was stuck to the wall, keeping her from falling.

"If you don't want to die, then shut the hell up! If you don't, I'll kill you. You're disturbing my work," Kiek snarled. He stared at Bao'er again and tried to launch another magnetic light.

"I want you to stop!" Ning Yue's voice was shaking as if she was on the verge of bursting into tears.

Kiek glanced at her struggling form, but she couldn't free herself from the wall. The magnetic force had her pinned to the wall like a slab of meat.

Ignoring Ning Yue, he sent the magnetic light in his hands toward Bao'er.

"Stop! I told you to stop!" Ning Yue screamed with fear. Her body managed to tear through the magnetic power, and she leaped in front of Bao'er to take the black sun-like light.

Boom!

The scary magnetic light landed on Ning Yue, and in the next instant, her body crashed to the floor like a crumbling mountain. Her limbs were held down by an iron grip, all crushed and broken-looking.

Kiek ignored her. He continued summoning his magnetic power.

"Stop, I'm begging you! Don't hurt her… I promised Han Sen I would take care of his daughter! I made him a promise…" Ning Yue wept helplessly from her place on the floor.

Seeing that Kiek was going to cast that magnetic light at Bao'er, Ning Yue struggled with the urge to get up. But she had been hit by the magnetic forces three times. The force was now too strong for her to overcome.

Kiek cast another sun-like magnetic light at Bao'er.

"I told you to stop!" Ning Yue shrieked, looking at the magnetic light that was flying toward Bao'er. Her shaking body erupted with green flames that wrapped her up in a shroud of fire.

In those green flames, Ning Yue's eyes suddenly calmed. His face and body regained their masculine shape. He looked like a man again.

Fang Qing Yu and the pirates on the floor stared at Ning Yue with wide eyes. They thought Ning Yue was a chickenhearted and useless woman. But suddenly, she had just become a man. And the green fire around him burned and wisped in an unsettling way.

"I told you to stop! Are you deaf?" Ning Yue thundered, his eyes crystal clear. His face still had the dried tracks of tears and snot. His female garments had started to burst at the seams as he became bigger, but he still looked gentle and soft.

"You dare to play tricks on someone like me? You're dead!" Kiek's hand gathered up a black light. It became a black magnetic knife that came for Ning Yue.

Ning Yue looked calm and composed, and his hands held a green sword. When Kiek swung his black magnetic knife there, Ning Yue's body was attracted to it. He flew for the magnetic knife.

Katcha!

The moment Ning Yue was sucked into the black magnetic knife, he waved his little green sword. A green sword light shot by, sending Kiek's head and half of his magnetic knife soaring through the air.

Patong!

Kiek's headless body crumpled to the ground. Fang Qing Yu and the others were frozen.

"Ah!" On the other side, the green flames on Ning Yue's body had vanished. His little green sword was on the floor, and his body returned to a feminine shape again. When she saw that headless body, Ning Yue held her face and started to scream. She looked so scared, and she frantically stepped away from the corpse.

Chapter 2487: Piece of Cloud

Han Sen and Lando searched in a circular pattern, but they had yet to find the white whale. Han Sen was sick with worry.

Right now, Han Sen wished he had practiced one of Mister White's skills. That way, he could calculate where Bao'er had gone. Even just a direction would do. Right now, anything was better than running around like a headless chicken.

While the Tianxia Unicorn soared through the clouds, they saw a person slowly start to appear. It was Meng Lie, a close relative of the Extreme King's ruler.

"Han Sen, we meet again."

Meng Lie had escaped while the woman of Two World Mountain stole his Extreme Purple Demon Dragon. Han Sen thought that the man had already departed the Tianxia System.

"You should go," Lando said to Han Sen as he stared grimly at Meng Lie.

Han Sen didn't say a word; he just ran. Lando had told him to go because he wasn't confident in his ability to stop Meng Lie. If Han Sen stayed, he would become a burden to Lando. If Lando was alone, he could escape if he was unable to defeat Meng Lie.

Meng Lie started chase Han Sen, but Lando stopped him on the Tianxia Unicorn. Meng Lie's eyes narrowed.

"Lando, do you really want to become an enemy of the Extreme King?"

"I told him I would take him out of this place alive," Lando said emotionlessly. "This is what I must do."

"Huh. In that case, we'll see if you have what it takes." Meng Lie's expression was icy. His body transformed into a gold giant as he threw a slap in Lando's direction. The slap seemed to cover the sky itself.

Han Sen felt the power like a giant shockwave coming after him. He flew faster.

Luckily, the power of the shockwave had mostly dispersed by the time it reached Han Sen. He used the momentum of the shockwave to boost his own speed, and he vanished quickly into the clouds.

"How long am I going to have to live my days like this? After I find Bao'er, I will have to go to Sky Palace. I hope the Sky can at least keep me safe for a while. I need someone to protect me from the Extreme King until I become deified," Han Sen thought to himself. Then, he felt depressed. "The Blood-Pulse Sutra's King area is too strange. It can only push the self-cogwheels of others, and I can't seem to use it on my own geno arts. I want to enhance my bloodline!"

Han Sen didn't know what direction he should go to find Bao'er, and he had to stay away from the fight between Lando and Meng Lie.

Not long after, Han Sen reached the zone where many seas of clouds connected. In front of him was a sea of creamy white clouds. Each cloud looked like milk floating in the air.

Han Sen flew toward it without hesitation. When he tried to fly into one of the clouds, though, it was like jumping into a bean bag. Instead of letting him through, it caught him and bounced him back.

Han Sen was shocked. The clouds of the Tianxia System were thick, but they weren't nearly thick enough to stop him. Only cloud beasts were actually solid.

But Han Sen was so fast and so strong that if he hit a cloud beast, it would be torn apart. But the creamy white cloud was totally fine, and it had bounced him back.

"Have I run into a high-class cloud beast?" Han Sen was shocked. He looked at the cloud in alarm.

But the cloud didn't respond. It just floated where it was, looking exactly like all the other nearby clouds.

Han Sen couldn't see anything particularly special about the cloud. He hesitated at first, but he did decide to fly around the cloud to inspect it more carefully. He also reached out his hand to touch it.

The cloud was very soft. When Han Sen touched it, it dented inwards. But when Han Sen had crashed into it at full-speed earlier, the cloud felt very tough. It had been like a beef tendon.

But no matter how much Han Sen poked it, the cloud didn't react. It was like a dead object.

"This cloud looks like a non-newtonian fluid." Han Sen brushed away the clouds around it, and he found out that the strange cloud was only twenty meters wide. Aside from the fact that it lacked a lifeforce and possessed non-newtonian features, there was nothing special about the cloud.

"Why is there a cloud like this out here in the middle of nowhere?" Han Sen was confused. He looked at the nearby clouds for a while. He reached his hand into the cloud and pushed his whole body into it slowly.

When he was outside it, Han Sen couldn't see a single thing with his Purple-Eye Butterfly. So, he went in and had a proper look.

Han Sen's body moved slowly. If he crept forward at a snail's pace, the cloud wouldn't offer much in the way of resistance.

After walking seven or eight meters inside, Han Sen suddenly felt as if the space before him was empty. His hand just went right through.

"There's something here." Han Sen felt so happy. This cloud was twenty meters wide, and he had only walked seven or eight meters. Despite that, something was stopping him. It had to mean that there was a pocket of space inside.

Han Sen carefully stepped through. And soon enough, he reached the cloud's interior space. He looked around and realized he was now in a three-meter-wide space. Within that empty area, he found a plant.

It looked like a spider plant. The green leaves reached out, and they looked quite lovely.

"Weird! Why is there a plant here? I thought there were only cloud beasts in the Tianxia System, and that there weren't any plants," Han Sen thought in surprise. He kept observing the plant.

The spider plant was as beautiful as green jade. The leaves were one foot long, and they were shaped like swords. It looked like an art-piece carved from the best jade one could find. Its lifeforce was so strong, though, that no one would believe it to be an inanimate object.

From what Han Sen could tell, the Tianxia System didn't have the correct conditions for plant life and normal creatures to thrive. Real plants couldn't exist here, and yet, there was a spider plant right in front of him. It certainly wasn't what Han Sen had expected to find when he entered the cloud.

"Did some other people come here and leave it in the Tianxia System?" As Han Sen was thinking, a white cloud began to bubble up out of the spider plant. It rose like a bubble of milk, then went to join the clouds outside.

"It looks like these clouds actually come from this spider plant. That means the plant is actually native to the Tianxia System." Han Sen was shocked.

As the spider plant released more clouds, Han Sen reached out and grabbed it. But when he touched it, it was just like the cloud that surrounded it. The plant was so delicate that it seemed like only a light grip would crush it.

But if he used strength, the plant would grow rigid and resilient.

"What kind of plant is this?" As Han Sen curiously examined the spider plant, he saw that there was a white fire in the middle of the plant.

Chapter 2488: Hunting Cloud Beasts

Han Sen fell back two steps in surprise. In the center of the spider plant, there was a white fire that was like a little lantern.

Han Sen looked close. In reality, it wasn't a fire; it was a halo.

At the center of the halo was a black bug that looked something like a cricket. The pitch-black insect was similar in size, and it had two swinging antennae. It climbed up the spider plant.

When it reached the end of the spider plant, its weight pulled the lead of the plant lower. Then, the little creature opened its mouth. Its sharp teeth dug into the delicate spider plant leaf.

Katcha! Katcha!

It took a little while for the cricket to eat its fill. Once it was satisfied, the cricket began to climb back down the plant.

As the insect moved, puffs of white smoke were emitted. The white smoke condensed into a creamy white cloud. Clouds rose from the creature's back, one by one, just like the creamy white cloud Han Sen had seen before.

Now Han Sen knew that the clouds from the spider plant weren't actually from the plant. They came from the juices of the black cricket.

The black cricket quickly dug back into the roots of the plant and was about to disappear.

Han Sen reached out and grabbed the cricket. The black cricket struggled in his hand, and it was a surprisingly strong little thing. It was no stronger than a King, though, and so it couldn't resist Han Sen.

The black cricket knew that it couldn't run. Its body discharged a white vapor that soon turned into a fluffy white cloud that wrapped around the cricket.

Han Sen held onto the cloud like he was holding a big steamed bun.

Fortunately, as long as he moved slowly, Han Sen could still sink his hands into the creamy cloud. The cricket wouldn't escape Han Sen's grasp like this.

"The cricket can't be any more powerful than a Marquise, but the cloud juice it produces is quite amazing. Not even my power can break it." After hesitating for a moment, Han Sen put the cricket inside Destiny's Tower.

Then, he walked to the spider plant and prodded it. He tried to feel the lifeforce inside the spider plant.

The spider plant had a great deal of lifeforce, but unlike the cricket, Han Sen wasn't capable of eating it. He examined the spider plant carefully, but he didn't see anything else of note. He put the spider plant inside Destiny's Tower, as well.

After emerging from that pocket of cloud, Han Sen thought about it some more. Then he put the entire cloud inside Destiny's Tower, too. Once that was done, he turned and flew away from there to continue searching for Bao'er and the others.

But Han Sen hadn't been flying for long when he saw a bunch of cloud beasts heading toward him.

They were a flock of crane-like creatures. There had to be at least a thousand of them. Most of them were Marquises, but there were some Dukes as well. The leader was the King, and it had a King area.

Han Sen was actually rather happy when they appeared. He pulled out his knife and dove into the flock. The cloud beasts were xenogeneics, after all. Killing another King class xenogeneic would help Han Sen fill up his King class genes.

Han Sen had four different geno arts. Each time he leveled one up, it required one hundred genes. When all those requirements were added up, it became a substantial number of genes that he needed. He had to collect as many as he could, whenever he was able to.

The cloud beasts didn't stand a chance against Han Sen. When he reached them, he cut the King's head clean off.

"Xenogeneic King hunted: Cloud Crane King. Xenogeneic gene found."

Han Sen casually pulled out the xenogeneic gene from the Cloud Crane King's body. He expected the rest of the cloud cranes to disperse after the King was killed, but they all came after him without any fear of death. It was like they wanted to avenge the slaying of the Cloud Crane King, even if it meant sacrificing their lives.

Han Sen wasn't interested in spending the time to kill those low-class cloud beasts, though. He flew away at full speed. The low-level cloud cranes weren't able to keep up, so it wasn't long before they lost Han Sen completely.

But just as Han Sen escaped, he saw another group of cloud beasts approaching. These looked like tigers, and there were a few Kings in their midst.

"Haha! My luck is good today!" Han Sen thought with a grin. He grabbed his Ghost Teeth Knife and flew to meet them.

Han Sen swooped down among the tigers like a beautiful butterfly. The Ghost Teeth Knife he wielded danced like the fangs of a devil, and he killed the cloud tigers one by one.

They were King class xenogeneics with second or third-tier King areas. Han Sen only needed one attack to kill each one.

"Xenogeneic King hunted: Cloud Tiger. Xenogeneic gene found. Obtained Cloud Tiger beast soul."

Han Sen killed five of the King class tigers, and he managed to earn one Cloud Tiger beast soul. Han Sen felt pretty good about that.

There were many cloud beasts all across the Tianxia System, but finding a King class wasn't always easy. And shortly after taking down one King, Han Sen had found several more. He was lucky.

The remaining Cloud Tigers ran after Han Sen, but he ignored them and continued to fly.

Han Sen had been flying for a while when he met another group of cloud beasts, but this time, there weren't any Kings among them. The leader of those beasts was just Duke class.

Han Sen thought a punch might be enough to scare them off, but this theory soon proved false. Han Sen punched a dozen of the cloud beasts, but they just continued to come.

Han Sen shook them off his tail and kept on flying, but he started to realize that something was amiss. He seemed to be encountering cloud beasts no matter which direction he decided to go.

And the cloud beasts were all so angry, too. None of them were afraid to die. They came at him like he was their mortal enemy, and no matter how many of them he killed, none of the cloud beasts were willing to back down.

"This sea of clouds seems a little bit cursed." Han Sen frowned in thought. He decided to head in a different direction, wanting to see if he would encounter any more cloud beasts.

The result was the same, and again, he met another large group of cloud beasts.

Han Sen changed direction a few times, but he encountered groups of cloud beasts every time. But all of those cloud beasts had red eyes. They leaped for him ravenously whenever they saw him, even if they didn't stand a chance of harming him.

"This is getting really weird." Although Han Sen had killed many King class cloud beasts, he couldn't really enjoy his success. He didn't know what was going on, and that made him uncomfortable.

Han Sen could kill any King class cloud beast he met. But the Tianxia System was known for its deified xenogeneics. If he encountered a deified monster among the hordes of normal xenogeneics, he would be in for another brutal fight.

After pausing for a while, Han Sen flew back the way he had come. The first thing he needed to do was to get away from that sea of creamy clouds. The place was creepy, and the creatures were far too hostile. He didn't feel comfortable being there.

On his way back, he encountered the groups of creatures that he had fought before. All their eyes seemed red, and they obviously wanted to avenge the deaths of their Kings. So, they all chased Han Sen.

This time, it looked a little while for Han Sen to shake off their pursuit. Before long, he escaped the creamy sea of clouds and returned to the light blue sea of clouds.

"I finally got away from that cursed sea of clouds." Han Sen felt relief. But before he could completely relax, he saw a shadow headed his way. It was the Extreme King deified, Meng Lie.

Chapter 2489: Weird Hordes of Cloud Beasts

Frustration filled Han Sen. Since leaving Lando and Meng Lie, he had changed directions many times and even crossed back over his own path. He could barely believe that Meng Lie had still managed to find him.

"If I knew he'd show up, I wouldn't have come back. That sea of clouds was weird, but I'd be better off there than here facing Meng Lie." Han Sen turned around, wanting to return to that sea of clouds.

But just as he started moving, Meng Lie swiftly teleported in front of him. Rather than attacking, though, Meng Lie simply spoke.

"Han Sen, if you come with me, I won't hurt you. Perhaps I can even keep you alive."

"You think the Extreme King will let me live if I go back with you?" Han Sen lifted his lips in a sneer.

Meng Lie laughed. "I'm not going to lie to you; you were going to be killed. But things changed once you helped Lando become deified. This ability can guarantee your survival. If you aid the Extreme King with unwavering dedication, we can erase the crime of killing a prince."

Han Sen was shocked. He couldn't believe Meng Lie had said such a thing.

"But I killed King Bai's son. Are you sure he will let me live?" Han Sen said in disbelief.

"You know, the king has over a hundred children and countless grandkids." Meng Lie chuckled again. "You didn't kill an important prince. And if anyone else had killed him, there's no way they would have been able to elude capture for so long. But you, Han Sen, are different. If you will work for the Extreme King, I can keep you alive."

Han Sen rolled his eyes. There was no chance of winning if he fought Meng Lie, and there would be no way of escaping this man, either. He was just pretending to listen, stalling for time as he tried to think of a way out.

Seeing that Han Sen hadn't responded, Meng Lie went on to say, "Let's presume you make it to Sky Palace. Do you really think all of this will blow over with time? The Extreme King will not allow a prince to have died for nothing."

"Fourth Uncle, it's just as you say: a prince of the Extreme King cannot die for nothing. If I go back with you, how would they allow me to live?" Han Sen frowned.

Meng Lie smiled and said, "Han Sen has to die. But you might not be Han Sen."

When Han Sen finally understood was Meng Lie had been implying, his eyes widened.

Seeing that Han Sen was confused, Meng Lie said, "Our people won't let the killing of an Extreme King prince go without retribution, and we wouldn't make this sort of offer to anyone other than you. But if you insist on continuing to Sky Palace, it doesn't matter what crime you committed or what skills you have; the Extreme King will not allow you to live."

Meng Lie's explanation had made things very clear. If Han Sen was willing to submit and work for them, he would be allowed to live. If he couldn't be used to their benefit, then they would keep trying to kill him even if he reached Sky Palace.

Han Sen started to say something, but he suddenly saw some blue cloud beasts heading toward them.

Meng Lie frowned. Deified elites tended to scare off anything beneath their level, but these cloud beasts were just Marquise class. Despite their complete lack of strength, the cloud beasts charged forward without hesitation. Han Sen thought this was strange, to say the least.

He waved his hand, and the cloud beasts disappeared. After his deified power hit them, not even their bones remained.

"Han Sen, what is your decision?" Meng Lie asked, looking at Han Sen.

Han Sen remained silent, but Meng Lie didn't rush him. He just stood where he was, patiently awaiting a response.

Han Sen wasn't mulling over Meng Lie's question, however. He was thinking about the cloud beasts that had just come his way.

With a deified elite around, the cloud beasts should have stayed as far away as they could get. They would run off as soon as they smelled a deified, let alone walked right up to one.

The horrible expressions on the faces of those cloud beasts were the same as the ones Han Sen himself had witnessed in the sea of creamy clouds. But he was no longer in the creamy cloud sea. An idea began to form in Han Sen's mind as he thought about the enraged cloud beasts he had fought.

Before Han Sen could answer Meng Lie, another group of cloud beasts came for them. But this time, the cloud beasts were clearly of a different variety. Several different varieties of cloud beast were represented here.

There were a few Kings among them, heading up the regiments of various species.

Han Sen might be able to convince himself that the low-level cloud beasts were too stupid to detect the deified presence of Meng Lie, but there was no way that the more powerful cloud beasts were that dumb. They were Kings, and they led other cloud beasts toward Han Sen and Meng Lie. This was very abnormal behavior.

Meng Lie's face darkened in anger. He waved his hand, and his gold substance chains became an area. It killed the oncoming group of cloud beasts.

Those first few King class cloud beasts were killed in a second. Nothing there stood a chance of fighting back.

"I am Meng Lie! If you have the balls to, come out and fight me! Sending these pathetic cloud beasts against me won't accomplish anything, you weakling!" Rather than looking at the bodies of the cloud beasts, Meng Lie had turned to shout up at the skies.

Meng Lie knew that the cloud beasts weren't behaving normally. He thought someone more powerful was deliberately sending the cloud beasts his way.

But Han Sen knew that the clouds beasts had been acting strangely since before Meng Lie had shown up, so whatever was going on, it had little to do with the deified Extreme King.

"Weird. If someone is controlling these cloud beasts, that person must be very powerful. But if so, why aren't they attacking directly?" Han Sen thought to himself. "Those cloud beasts didn't act like something was controlling them. It was as if they had seen something."

Suddenly, Han Sen's heart jumped as a thought crossed his mind. He suddenly looked into his Destiny's Tower.

He had met a few cloud beasts before, but none of them had been this powerful. And the cloud beasts wouldn't be attacking him without reason.

The weird stuff had only started happening after Han Sen took the black cricket and the spider plant.

At first, Han Sen thought that there was merely something wrong with the xenogeneics in the creamy cloud area. Perhaps they were naturally more aggressive or territorial than other cloud beasts. But after leaving the creamy cloud sea, weird things were still happening. That suggested that the problem stretched beyond the creamy cloud sea.

"Are those cloud beasts coming after this?" Han Sen looked at the first floor of Destiny's Tower, which was where he had placed the cloud, the black cricket, and the spider plant.

The cloud had wrapped around the spider plant, but the black cricket had disappeared. It must have gone into the cloud.

"If the cloud beasts are attracted to these things, then taking them with me might be a bigger problem than I thought," Han Sen thought to himself.

But he didn't know if the cloud beasts were attracted by the spider plant or the black cricket. And with Meng Lie next to him, he couldn't take the two items out to compare them.

"Han Sen, have you made a decision yet?" Meng Lie asked Han Sen, upon seeing no other intruders.

"Sure. I will go to the Extreme King with you, but you must swear that I will remain safe," Han Sen said to Meng Lie after a bit of hesitation.

"Don't worry. I won't let you die. If you come back with me and work for the Extreme King, I promise that no one will be able to hurt you," Meng Lie said with grave certainty.

Chapter 2490: Xenogeneics Coming

Once he had agreed to go with Meng Lie, Han Sen pretended to be the perfect picture of subservience. He followed along as if he had no interest in escaping. As Meng Lie headed through the Tianxia System toward the Extreme King worlds, Han Sen trailed after him without any reluctance.

Meng Lie wasn't worried about Han Sen trying to run off, but after they had traveled for a short while, a lot of cloud beasts began to attack from the surrounding clouds.

Meng Lie dealt with those cloud beasts easily, and not even the King class cloud beasts were a threat to him. However, his face grew increasingly serious as time progressed.

He still had no idea who was sending all these cloud beasts after him. He felt like something was watching him, and he didn't enjoy that sensation at all.

Han Sen was shocked. "The same thing happened to me when I was in the sea of creamy clouds. Even weak cloud beasts charged toward me with no concern for their own lives. From what I can tell, the effect must have a radius of sorts. When the spider plant and the black cricket enter a location, the cloud beasts from that region are drawn toward them."

"Fourth Uncle, did you kill Lando?" Han Sen asked after Meng Lie killed another horde of cloud beasts.

Meng Lie wasn't in a good mood. He casually said, "That kid is a brutal fighter. I wasn't interested in risking my life fighting him, so I just ditched him instead. But don't think that he'll be coming to save you. He was drawn in another direction, so he won't be able to find us for quite some time."

Han Sen never thought Lando would die; he just wanted to find out where the Dragon might have been. Hearing this did bring him a bit of relief, though.

"You must be kidding, Uncle. I have already promised you that I will go to the Extreme King. Even if Lando was right here, I wouldn't go with him. It's just as you said; if this situation isn't sorted out, I'll spend the rest of my life hounded and scared. Not even making it to Sky Palace will protect me from that. So, I am sincere about my willingness to go back. But you must also keep your promise to ensure my life," Han Sen said, looking as earnest as possible.

When the Meng Lie heard Han Sen say this, he felt a bit better. He nodded and said, "You are quite smart. If you work for the Extreme King with full dedication, I will keep you alive. But Han Sen must still die, so you will no longer be able to use your real name. We cannot let anyone know you are still alive."

"I understand. I don't mind losing my name if that's what it takes to survive. But…" Han Sen looked worried.

"But what?" Meng Lie asked.

"I'm afraid that someone powerful might not want me to work for the Extreme King. They would rather kill me than let me follow you back." Han Sen injected a liberal dose of fear into his voice.

"Don't worry. As long as you follow me, I won't allow anyone to bring you harm," Meng Lie declared.

But what Han Sen said did put Meng Lie on alert. Meng Lie was sure that some powerful figure was sending these clouds beasts after them, but that person had yet to reveal themselves. The mysterious deified just kept sending wave after wave of cannon fodder after them. If the mysterious deified was unable to steal Han Sen, then he might decide to just kill Han Sen instead.

After a few more waves of cloud beast hordes assaulted them, Meng Lie was able to confirm his worry. The King class xenogeneics seemed to be aiming for Han Sen, in particular.

As he realized this, Meng Lie grew even more cautious. He pulled Han Sen closer to him, just in case something bad happened.

While they were traveling, Meng Lie's face suddenly changed. He pulled Han Sen to a stop and looked deep into the clouds.

Han Sen stood behind Meng Lie and also looked ahead. The nearby clouds were in turmoil as shockwaves rolled through them. A purple kirin was thundering toward them through the clouds.

Substance chains swirled around the monster's body life clouds.

"Deified xenogeneic! The spider plant and black cricket must be incredibly important if they can attract deified xenogeneics," Han Sen thought in astonishment.

And there were many cloud beasts following the deified kirin to boot. There was a whole host of King class xenogeneics in their midst.

Meng Lie frowned and spoke to Han Sen. "Don't get too close to the battleground, but don't run off too far, either. If you get into a bad situation too far from where I'm fighting, I might not have a chance to save you."

"Don't worry, Uncle. I truly want to go to the Extreme King with you. I would never dream of running away." Han Sen knew what Meng Lie really meant, and so he answered him with sincerity.

Meng Lie nodded. He started to say something more, but the deified kirin cut him off with a roar. It brought a sky of clouds toward them. The cloud beasts' target was fairly obvious, though. It was Han Sen they wanted.

"Huh? I want to see what sort of person is trying this hard to keep me from bringing Han Sen back to the Extreme King alive," Meng Lie said with narrowed eyes. He turned into a gold giant and ran toward the kirin.

Han Sen didn't flee. Instead, he entered the fight with the horde of cloud beasts.

At this point, Han Sen had no reason to run. He was carrying some dangerous goods that could attract deified xenogeneics. Now that he had Meng Lie to take the heat for him, running away would mean leaving behind his protection.

"I don't know what that spider plant and black cricket are, but they can attract deified xenogeneics. If things get too bad, I'll just have to throw them away. There is no point in risking my life to keep them. At least for now, though, I can use them to my advantage. If they can keep attracting deified xenogeneics, Meng Lie will have a tough time trying to escort me out of here…" Han Sen thought to himself as he began killing cloud beasts.

Meng Lie engaged the kirin, but he remained focused on how Han Sen was doing. When he saw that Han Sen had also started to fight instead of running off, it surprised him, and it actually brought him some relief.

"It looks like he's sincere about following me back to the Extreme King. But that makes sense, I guess. Someone wants to kill him, and he will die if he doesn't come with me. Coming with me at least gives him a chance to live." Meng Lie nodded. As he watched the cloud beasts swarm around Han Sen like mad, he became quite angry. Someone wanted to kill Han Sen and keep him from working for the Extreme King.

Meng Lie wouldn't have dreamed that the cloud beasts would be drawn straight to Han Sen.

How could Han Sen, who was just a King, invoke the ire of a deified xenogeneic? Even if Han Sen attracted them, they should have attacked Meng Lie first. But these xenogeneics seemed obsessed with killing Han Sen, despite the deified opponent in the same area. That was why Meng Lie believed there had to be some mastermind hidden somewhere nearby. This mysterious person clearly wanted to prevent Han Sen from being taken back to the Extreme King.

Meng Lie was a brother of the Extreme King's ruler. He was an old, scary deified. Even if he had lost his Extreme Purple Demon Dragon, it was unlikely that another deified could kill him.

Although Meng Lie was slowly fighting back the kirin that was surrounded by clouds, it would still take a long time for him to kill the creature.

Han Sen made use of his movements to go around the cloud beasts he fought. He used this opportunity to wipe out several King class xenogeneics. He was quite pleased to have earned more King class xenogeneic genes.

Han Sen moved through the xenogeneic hordes, using the Purple-Eye Butterfly to check on Meng Lie. If he got the chance, he might be able to attack at the right time and get a deified beast soul out of all this, too. That would be splendid.

But killing a deified being wasn't that easy. If Meng Lie still had his Extreme Purple Demon Dragon, he could have killed another deified relatively quickly. But since he had lost his Extreme Purple Demon Dragon, he had to exhaust his own power. Killing the deified kirin wouldn't be an easy task for him.

Chapter 2491: Tianxia's Seven Gods

The longer he fought, the more confused Meng Lie became. Even if an ordinary deified xenogeneic wasn't very smart, it would still know to retreat when it was losing a fight. It wouldn't just relentlessly continue to attack a more powerful opponent.

But that kirin wanted a fight to the death no matter what. It didn't care for its life, which made it surprisingly difficult to counter. But the thing that concerned Meng Lie the most was the idea that someone was orchestrating all this. If that mysterious person could control deified xenogeneics, Meng Lie didn't want to imagine how strong they might be.

"I have to take Han Sen back to the Extreme King, and I have to do it fast." Meng Lie made his mind up. A gold substance chain exploded in a blinding burst of light. It was like a golden god tearing through space. Cloud airs and deified blood sprayed everywhere.

Because of the amount of raw power being exchanged, Han Sen couldn't get close to the fight. After ten hours, Han Sen heard the sound of something screaming, then silence. He turned as the headless body of the kirin slowly fell through the clouds.

Then, Meng Lie was coming toward him. The man's hands were clutching the kirin's severed head. Meng Lie was injured, too, though. His golden god body was bleeding profusely, and one of his wounds was deep enough to show bone. He was quite damaged.

Han Sen felt it was a shame that he hadn't been able to get the last hit in on the kirin, but he had managed to kill many King class xenogeneics during that time. He was slowly filling up his King class gene tallies, at least.

Han Sen and Meng Lie kept traveling. Han Sen killed so many clouds beasts, but everywhere they went, even more of the crazed creatures showed up. Even Meng Lie, who was doing most of the killing, was getting tired hands.

"If I find out who is behind all this, I'm going to skin them alive," Meng Lie cursed in exhausted frustration.

In the past, xenogeneics never came close to Meng Lie. They wouldn't dare to show themselves before him. Right now, though, even Barons and Viscounts were willing to attack him. He killed them, but it was infuriating that he even had to.

They kept on fighting. The clouds looked like pools of blood in their wake. Meng Lie grabbed Han Sen and quickly outran the pursuing xenogeneics. He felt sick from the massive amount of killing he had done. He didn't want to kill anymore.

After traveling one hundred thousand miles, they saw another deified xenogeneic coming for them. It appeared right in Meng Lie's path.

Han Sen saw a huge, rainbow-colored bird that resembled a peacock. It was soaring through the clouds. Just the sensation of its presence would be enough to make most people cower in fear.

"The Tianxia Peacock King! Who the hell could control the Tianxia Peacock King?" Meng Lie whispered, his face going pale.

"Is he strong?" Han Sen asked.

"It is the fourth of Tianxia's seven gods. The Tianxia Unicorn is at last place on that roster. So, what do you think?" Meng Lie looked sick. Clearly, he wasn't confident that he could defeat the Tianxia Peacock King in battle.

Han Sen looked at the Tianxia Peacock King in shock. It fanned its beautiful feathers, raising them in a semicircle behind it.

Images that looked like eyes stared out of the peacock's fanned feathers. All the colors of the rainbow glowed inside those eyes. They became rainbow godlights that suddenly drenched the entire sea of clouds in a rainbow godlight.

The moment the rainbow godlight appeared, Han Sen watched the light fall to touch his body. And when it happened, his armor, skin, and hair started to look like dust. He was too stunned to move.

Han Sen's Jadeskin was unable to block the rainbow godlights' power. Han Sen looked over at Meng Lie and saw that he, too, was melting into dust.

With a teeth-rattling roar, Meng Lie became that gold giant again. He grabbed Han Sen so that the gold color could spread across his body as well. The color dyed Han Sen's entire form.

When Han Sen looked closer, he could see that the layer of gold was made of intricate substance chains. But even that layer of protection started to degrade under the power of the rainbow godlight. Meng Lie's gold body clearly couldn't withstand the Tianxia Peacock King's rainbow godlight.

"You need to leave now." Meng Lie threw Han Sen away, then started running toward the Tianxia Peacock King.

Han Sen used the momentum of Meng Lie's throw to escape the rainbow godlights' area of effect. The Tianxia Peacock King, meanwhile, was occupied by Meng Lie and therefore couldn't give chase.

"F*ck! Even the terrifying Tianxia Peacock King was drawn toward me. I can't keep this thing," Han Sen thought. He pulled the cloud out of Destiny's Tower, tossed it to the side, and flew away.

That thing had even managed to attract the Tianxia Peacock King. If Han Sen continued carrying it, it would only be a matter of time before he attracted the rest of the Tianxia gods.

The Tianxia Unicorn, at the end of the roster, was already so strong. The fourth rank god, the Tianxia Peacock King, must have been exceptionally scary. Even Meng Lie didn't underestimate a foe like that. If an enemy of a higher level came, they'd be killed in no time at all.

After Han Sen ditched the cloud, he turned back. He went in a different direction so he could escape Meng Lie.

After flying for a while, Han Sen felt a weird prickling sensation across the back of his neck. He turned around and saw the cloud chasing him.

"Oh sh*t! Why are you following me?" Han Sen's eyes almost popped out of his skull. The thing hadn't stayed where he put it.

The cloud didn't answer Han Sen. It just flew over to him and floated nearby. It didn't seem to want to hurt him, though.

"I'm afraid of you." Han Sen thought it was best to stay away from the strange cloud. He accelerated away, using his phoenix techniques as he fled.

While that creamy cloud looked very slow, it somehow managed to keep up with Han Sen. No matter how many times Han Sen changed direction, he couldn't shake it off.

Han Sen tried to punch it and send it flying away, but that didn't work for crap. The more strength he put into the blow, the faster the cloud would follow him. And when his punch landed on the cloud, it would become really thick and withstand all the force.

After a short while of running, he met another group of cloud beasts. They were drawn to the cloud following Han Sen.

Fortunately, these cloud beasts were quite low-level. They were most Viscounts and Earls. Han Sen got rid of them easily.

"If you bring me another deified, I will be very dead." There was nothing Han Sen could do to get rid of the cloud. He felt like crying.

But then Han Sen thought about it. The cloud's area of effect was limited. If he didn't run, no more powerful cloud beasts would show up.

Thinking of that, Han Sen stopped running. He stopped right where he was and glared at the cloud. He said to it, "I'm warning you. Don't follow me anymore. Otherwise, I will kill you."

Han Sen was trying to scare the black cricket or spider plant on the inside, as it was obvious that one of those two was behind the drama.

"You really think I can't kill you?" Han Sen demanded angrily when the cloud didn't react. He walked straight up to the occupants of the cloud.

Chapter 2492: Tianxia Peacock King

Han Sen approached the cloud, but it quickly retreated so that Han Sen couldn't touch it.

Han Sen felt so angry. He sped up and chased after the cloud. As he chased it, it continued to retreat away from him. But whenever Han Sen turned around and tried to move away from the cloud, it would follow. After a short time of this, Han Sen became incredibly frustrated.

"I was wrong to take you. I was wrong. Can you please stop following me?" Han Sen begged the cloud, tears in his eyes.

Unfortunately for Han Sen, the cricket on the inside didn't understand the common tongue of the universe. When Han Sen walked away, it followed again.

Now, Han Sen's situation had become a little awkward. He couldn't leave, and neither could he stay. It was easy to invite a god in, but it was hard to send a god away.

"Do you really think you can bully me this easily?" Han Sen was getting angry. Instead of going on its merry way, the cloud was creeping along behind him like a stalker.

Han Sen decided to summon Spell and use her two pistols. He fired rapidly, and each bullet hit the cloud at high speed.

The cloud didn't dodge, and the bullets slammed into the cloud's surface. However, an instant later, the bullets were bouncing away instead of piercing through the cloud.

Han Sen had expected this result. He hadn't actually been trying to break the cloud.

"You are too weak to fight against big brother Han." Han Sen laughed coldly. He used his pistols to shoot the cloud again.

Many bullets again hit the cloud, but this time, the cloud seemed to lose its bounciness. When the bullets hit it, it sounded like they were hitting a stone surface.

Han Sen's first attacks earlier had been infused with Spell's solidifying power. He solidified the cloud, depriving it of its elastic resilience.

Although the cloud was now very hard, the bullets still couldn't hurt it. But where the bullets struck, turtle symbols now appeared. It was Han Sen's Turtle skill.

After Han Sen fired at it for a while more, the solidified cloud was completely checkered with the glowing symbols of a Turtle. When he was finished doing that, he cast an icy light, turning the cloud into a block of ice.

"I don't believe you'll be able to follow me after that." Han Sen turned around and flew away. As he flew, he turned repeatedly to check on the frozen cloud. The cloud began to move despite being frozen, but Han Sen was relieved to see that it was now as slow as a snail. It would be impossible for it to keep up with Han Sen now.

Han Sen was happy about this. He left it in the dust, no longer looking back. It wasn't going to catch-up.

"I finally got rid of it." Han Sen changed direction a few times, and when it was assuredly gone, he let out a long sigh of relief.

He was just going to keep flying, but he soon felt something come from up ahead. It seemed as if there were creatures doing battle ahead of him.

The fight was happening very far away, and the shockwaves from the battle barely rocked the clouds around him. Han Sen hesitated. He finally decided to fly over and get a better look at the battleground. Before long, he could analyze the shockwaves much more clearly.

"This sonic power is so familiar… It's Bao Qin! The other power being used is a fire element… Wait, isn't that the little red bird's power?" Han Sen was as much surprised as he was happy. He accelerated toward the battle.

The closer he got to the battleground, the crazier the shockwaves became. Before Han Sen saw the little red bird and Bao Qin, he saw the white whale positioned in the clouds. It was chasing two King class knights from the Extreme King.

Han Sen was delighted. He headed straight for the white whale and the two Extreme King knights.

The two Extreme King knights were fleeing in fear. When they suddenly saw Han Sen in front of them, they froze. That momentary pause was all it took for the white whale's mouth to open and suck them in like a black hole.

"Daddy!" After Han Sen entered the white whale, Bao'er jumped into Han Sen's chest. She excitedly said, "Daddy! I captured so many people in the ship."

Han Sen looked to where Bao'er was pointing, and he saw that the white whale's prison was stuffed with a dozen Kings and half-deifieds. They were all Extreme King knights.

"Good job." Han Sen glanced over the other people on the ship. The pirates and Fang Qing Yu were fine. Only Ning Yue was looking a little messy. She was sitting in the corner with dirtied clothing. She seemed to be terrified.

When Bao'er explained what had happened to her, Han Sen was momentarily stunned.

"That little green sword can kill a half-deified? There's obviously more to it than meets the eye. I wonder where it came from? It was an item dug up in Du God City. Could it have been a weapon left behind by the gods that did battle there? If it is a weapon of the gods, it could make Ning Yue very rich." Han Sen looked at Ning Yue but was reminded of the state she was in. It made Han Sen think that scamming her might not be a very nice thing to do.

But Han Sen remembered the story that Bao'er had just told him. Although Ning Yue's personality seemed overwhelmed and suppressed by the little green sword, it wasn't gone. On certain occasions, his real self could shine through.

But the little green sword was too strong. Ning Yue's will could only be activated under extreme duress for limited periods of time. Completely escaping the grasp of the little green sword seemed very difficult.

"Is the little red bird okay?" Han Sen murmured to himself, looking worriedly at the burning sky.

According to Bao'er, the little red bird and Bao Qin had been fighting for a few days without a winner being determined.

Bao'er lifted her lips and said, "Don't worry, Daddy. Little Red will be fine. If he wasn't so small, he could have already killed that guy."

Han Sen nodded. He wanted to say something more, but his face changed.

He glanced absentmindedly out of the white whale, and among the numerous clouds, he saw a single creamy cloud heading toward them. It soon came before the white whale, and Han Sen instantly that it was his stalker cloud.

"Oh my God! How could it catch up with me?" Han Sen saw that the ice and Turtle symbols he'd placed on the cloud had now vanished. He didn't know how to get rid of the d*mn thing.

"Bao'er, call Little Red back. We have to go. Now." Han Sen's face looked dire.

If the cloud was here now, then many more cloud beasts might be on their way. If a deified xenogeneic was drawn to them, they would be in big trouble.

Bao'er didn't know what was going on, but she did as Han Sen instructed. She used the white whale to fire a crystal light at the battleground.

Not long after, Han Sen saw the little phoenix retreat. When it landed on the white whale, it returned to looking like the little red bird again.

"Where are you running to?" Bao Qin traveled through space. His body was blackened and bleeding in various places, and the harp he used was burned. Some of its strings had even been broken. It looked as if he hadn't gotten the better end of his battle with the little red bird.

Han Sen let Bao'er use the white whale's controls to escape. Bao Qin had been fighting for so long, he must have lost a lot of his energy. Chasing after the white whale now wouldn't be an easy feat for him.

The white whale traveled away at high speed, and the creamy cloud followed behind them in close pursuit. Bao Qin straggled along behind the cloud. They all traveled through the clouds quickly.

Pang!

They hadn't been flying for long when Han Sen saw a rainbow light. It immediately covered the sea of clouds all around.

"The Tianxia Peacock King…" Han Sen breathed, seeing the majestic bird appear among the clouds.

Chapter 2493: Holy Area Grass

The Tianxia Peacock King wasn't doing so well. Most of its plumage had been torn off, and only a few feathers remained on the bird's tail. It was like a plucked chicken, or a paper fan that had been mostly shredded.

Wounds covered its body, and many of them looked severe.

But no matter how badly injured it was, this creature was still a powerful deified foe. The peacock's eyes started to flash. It emitted a rainbow godlight substance chain, forming an area that shielded everything. Everything inside that area would be melted by the rainbow godlight. Anything inside the area would be reduced to dust, crumbling away in minutes.

Han Sen and the others were better off inside the white whale. The hull of the white whale was very solid. When the rainbow godlight shone on it, slow trickles of dust began to slide off the ship's hull. The process was obnoxiously slow.

The cloud and Bao Qin didn't fare as well. When the rainbow godlight shone on the cloud, it started to become dust. Bao Qin's armor couldn't withstand the godlight either. The armor's transformation into dust was very slow, but it was Bao Qin's self-armor. If it was injured beyond the point of recovery, his entire body would be permanently damaged.

The Tianxia Peacock King's target was the cloud. Its eyes glowed with a godlight that seemed focused on the cloud. The cloud was scared, and it quickly flew forward. But instead of trying to escape the area, it just hid beneath the white whale.

The Tianxia Peacock King's godlights fell on the white whale and almost pierced through the hull.

"Oh sh*t! Does that bad luck cloud hate me this much?" Han Sen whined. He turned to Bao'er. "Go faster! Lose it!"

Bao'er pushed the white whale's power to the max. The white whale released a whale-like call, and then it broke lurched forward as if it planned to leave no matter what got in its way.

The cloud managed to close the distance, and again, it appeared beneath the white whale. The rainbow godlights fell on the cloud, and it melted quickly.

Soon, the spider plant was revealed. The plant was very green, like flawless jade. The rainbow godlight shone on the spider plant, but the plant seemed immune to the godlight's power.

Bao Qin was running in the opposite direction. He took refuge in some clouds, and when he looked back, he saw the spider plant. He screamed hoarsely, "Holy Area Grass! That is the Holy Area Grass!"

Without a second of thought, Bao Qin sent a swarm of substance chains toward the spider plant.

The Tianxia Peacock King's target was the spider plant. When it saw that Bao Qin was trying to steal its prize, the rainbow godlight fired a laser at him.

Bao Qin raised his harp to block the rainbow godlight, but the deified treasure was quickly annihilated by the peacock's powerful attack.

Blergh!

Dust rained from Bao Qin's body. He looked very upset about his loss, and his desire for the plant still showed plainly across his face. However, he was no longer willing to try and steal the spider plant. He ripped a hole in the fabric of space, teleported, and disappeared.

After all, he wasn't comparable to someone like Meng Lie. Even with the Tianxia Peacock King being as injured as it was, he couldn't do battle with it. That would be a fight he stood no chance of winning, and he knew it.

After Bao Qin escaped, the Tianxia Peacock King's gaze returned to the spider plant. It wanted to eat the spider plant, but before it could swoop down on the plant, the plant flew away under some invisible force. It was being pulled to another location.

The Tianxia Peacock King looked in the direction the plant was being pulled. He saw a little girl standing atop the white whale. A little gold gourd was clutched in her hands, and it was that gourd which was sucking in the spider plant.

When he saw this, Han Sen's heart stopped. He didn't even know when Bao'er had gone outside to use her gourd on the spider plant.

The Tianxia Peacock King squawked with anger. Its rainbow substance chains erupted like a volcano, and the sheer volume of its substance chains appeared to shroud the entirety of space.

It looked furious. Even when Meng Lie had attacked the bird, it hadn't been this disgruntled.

That rainbow godlight was everywhere. It was like a rainbow sky had descended over everything.

After Bao'er climbed back into the white whale, Han Sen sent the ship rocketing forward. But no matter how fast the white whale flew, it wasn't fast enough to outrun the Tianxia Peacock King's rainbow godlight.

The scary rainbow godlight landed on the white whale, and the ship's shell began to disintegrate even faster.

The white body of the machine suddenly looked like a plume of grey smoke while it flew. A lot of dust and ash crumbled away, like some sort of ugly comet.

The white whale's shell was melted by the rainbow godlight, revealing the bones of its interior structure.

"We're going to die! We're going to die! I beg you guys… Return whatever you stole…" Ning Yue cried, gripping Han Sen's leg.

Han Sen's eyes kept shifting around. With the rate at which the white whale's hull was being eroded, he also knew things weren't going to last.

But after seeing how Bao Qin's reaction to the spider plant, Han Sen realized that the spider plant must be very precious. He had never heard of the Holy Area Grass before, but he didn't want to concede and give it up now.

But the Tianxia Peacock King was still a frightening beast. The rainbow godlight it emitted seemed unstoppable. Han Sen and his companions weren't strong enough to withstand the might of such a creature.

The pirates and the imprisoned Extreme King knights watched all this with terrified eyes. They were all in shock. Their eyes darted all around the melting white whale.

If the white whale was destroyed, not one of them would be able to escape all this. They would be turned into dust by the rainbow godlight.

"Bao'er, take the item back outside…" Han Sen could think of no other way to deal with the Tianxia Peacock King.

Although Bao'er didn't want to, she wouldn't disobey Han Sen. She took the spider plant out of the gourd and gave it to Han Sen.

"Tianxia Peacock King, take this item and let us live!" Han Sen threw the spider plant out of the white whale, hurling it far away from them.

The Tianxia Peacock King, upon seeing the spider plant, gleefully raced towards it. It was no longer interested in attacking the white whale.

Han Sen probably should have thrown the spider plant further, but the Tianxia Peacock King was far quicker than he expected. It appeared next to the spider plant in an instant. It opened its mouth and swallowed the whole thing in one gulp.

No one could stop the Tianxia Peacock King, and the spider plant vanished down the bird's throat in an instant.

After the Tianxia Peacock King swallowed the spider plant, it moaned to the sky. The noise was so loud that it rocked the Tianxia System. Han Sen didn't speak the language of birds, but he could imagine how good that plant must have tasted for the bird to moan and groan in such pleasure.

The bird moaned for a long time, but the noise was suddenly cut short by a loud burp. The Tianxia Peacock King had suddenly become so full.

Han Sen was still trying to flee the area in the white whale, but before he could get too far away, he heard a strange noise. It made him turn to look at the Tianxia Peacock King.

The bird kept burping and burping. It couldn't seem to stop, and it looked like it was suffering. The creature seemed to have eaten too much.

The strangest thing was that its belly was swelling. It was like a slim lady had suddenly become eight months pregnant.

Han Sen was stunned, but as he stared, he had a sudden thought. With a shock, he said, "Is that black cricket doing something inside the peacock's belly?"

Chapter 2494: Let Go of that Peacock

The distraught Tianxia Peacock King flapped its wings wildly. It was blazing with rainbow light, and its power ripped haphazardly through the sky, tearing trenches in space wherever it went.

Its efforts were futile, though. Its belly was still expanding. The Tianxia Peacock King kept crying.

Han Sen and the others looked on in dumbfounded silence. Minutes later, the Tianxia Peacock King's belly was bloated like a balloon. And it was still expanding. Its skin was so stretched that it was becoming transparent. Everyone on the white whale began to wonder if the creature's belly was about to explode.

Of course, the Tianxia Peacock King didn't disappoint them. Its belly ruptured, and the detonation was like thunder. There was a gaping hole where its belly had once been.

A giant, creamy cloud emerged. It was the black cricket's fluffy white discharge.

"It is that strong?" Han Sen was shocked. He hadn't realized that the creamy cloud possessed much power, and he certainly didn't think it was strong enough to erupt from the Tianxia Peacock King's belly. The peacock was a ridiculously powerful deified creature, and it had just been ripped open like a plastic bag.

"You have to watch what you eat. The Tianxia Peacock King is a prime example of what happens if you don't. It swallowed a tasty morsel whole without first inspecting the contents… Now its belly has blown up. I don't know if it will survive this." Han Sen's heart leaped. He stopped the white whale and looked at the Tianxia Peacock King.

After the Tianxia Peacock King's belly broke, the creature's rainbow blood was running freely into the clouds. The beast hung in the air, crying hopelessly. It fluttered its wings, wanting to leave the area, but its rainbow godlights were growing dimmer and dimmer. They were becoming difficult to see at all. It wasn't going to be attacking anything anytime soon.

The creamy cloud ignored the Tianxia Peacock King and flew back toward Han Sen.

"Here's a good opportunity. Take control of the white whale, Bao'er!" Han Sen said happily. He grabbed the little red bird and ran out of the white whale. He headed toward the severely injured Tianxia Peacock King.

"Little Red, your time is now!" Han Sen threw the little red bird at the peacock.

The little red bird screamed sadly as its body turned into that of a fire phoenix. But it followed Han Sen's instructions and sent a stream of angry fire toward the poor Tianxia Peacock King.

The flames covered the sky as its whirling inferno moved to incinerate the Tianxia Peacock King. Everything in sight took on a flickering, hellish appearance. The Tianxia Peacock King was already injured and on the brink of death. He was unable to withstand the little red bird's phoenix flames. The peacock cried as it burned, and it flapped its wings feebly. But sadly, it was simply too injured to move.

It still had the injuries from its fight with Meng Lie, and now, it had practically exploded. Its guts were falling out. One of its legs was a ruined mess.

If the Tianxia Peacock King could find a safe place to rest, it would probably recover in a thousand years or so. If it had a powerful treasure or two, it might heal even more quickly.

But it was in no condition to fight a deified elite right now.

As the Tianxia Peacock King burned and screamed, its feathers and flesh turned a deep red. It was like a burning bar of iron. But it was struggling and refusing to submit to the cold prospect of death. It wanted to escape the little red bird's phoenix fires, first and foremost.

Sadly, it couldn't get away. The little red bird continued to chase it and send crackling flames over its body. Its lifeforce had become so weak that the rainbow godlight could no longer be seen.

The Tianxia Peacock King's lifeforce was almost depleted, and its wings cease to move. Its body was falling in a raging fire. Han Sen moved up behind the little red bird and shouted, "Let go of the peacock. Let me do it!"

Han Sen lifted his Thunder God Spike. He flew to the Tianxia Peacock King that had lost consciousness and took aim at its brain. With all his might, he tried to crush it.

The Thunder God Spike struck the Tianxia Peacock King's skull hard, but the weapon couldn't penetrate it. Even so, silver lightning coursed down into the creature. The electrified Tianxia Peacock King lost consciousness and began to shake violently.

Han Sen kept striking it. The peacock's body continued to shiver and shake. Han Sen had yet to hear the killing announcement, though.

"This kill has to be mine. Jade Emperor, Holy Buddha, Bodhi Sativa, you must give me a beast soul!" Han Sen kept smacking the peacock's head as he prayed.

The peacock king wasn't moving. And Han Sen had yet to hear the announcement noise. He gritted his teeth and kept on smacking it.

"Xenogeneic deified hunted: Tianxia Peacock King. Xenogeneic gene found. Obtained Tianxia Peacock King beast soul."

As Han Sen wondered if the kill had been claimed by the little red bird, he suddenly heard the announcement. In an instant, Han Sen felt as if he had been transported directly to heaven. The 180,000 pores across his skin felt so good, and he moaned in pleasure.

"Deified beast soul! I got a deified beast soul…" Han Sen grinned like a madman. Turning away from the Tianxia Peacock King's body, he went looking for the Tianxia Peacock King's beast soul to see what type it was.

"A weapon, please give me a weapon. Just a weapon will do…" Han Sen's heart was screaming.

Deified beast soul Tianxia Peacock King: Soul armor type (broken)

"Soul armor type? Holy sh*t! That's better than a weapon. I'm rich. I'm rich!" Han Sen was so happy that he almost jumped on the spot.

It was deified soul armor, so it would have a deified-level defense. It also had the power buffs that came along with a deified beast soul. Although it wasn't like a shapeshifting beast soul, having the deified body buffs would make his attacks as fierce as a deified being's.

Now that he had this peacock's soul armor, Han Sen could challenge deified elites in battle.

"Wait… what does 'broken' mean? Is it a broken beast soul? No… I've never heard of a broken beast soul before." When Han Sen saw the word broken at the end of its label, his happy feelings quickly evaporated.

He summoned the Tianxia Peacock King's soul armor, and a grey garment appeared on his body. It was made entirely out of grey peacock feathers.

Technically, it seemed less like "soul armor" and more like a "soul robe." The robe of grey feathers fully enclosed Han Sen. And behind the grey feathers, there was an image of a peacock. It possessed the face of the Tianxia Peacock King. Its feathers were closed, and its tail wasn't fanned.

Han Sen's heart jumped. A rainbow godlight was shining within the robe. It formed a silhouette of the peacock with its tail fully fanned. A scary power rose inside Han Sen's body, and it became a rainbow substance chain that buffed every corner of Han Sen's being.

Feeling that scary power inside him, Han Sen felt as if he could destroy the entire universe in one punch.

"Weird. The soul robe of the peacock king isn't broken. It is a perfectly functional set of armor, so why does it say that it is broken?" Han Sen didn't understand. He believed that the power currently possessed by the robe was perfectly deified.

Chapter 2495: Holy Area Grass

Han Sen brought the Tianxia Peacock King's body back to the white whale, and Bao'er quickly whipped out the little gourd and absorbed the cloud inside it.

The damage done to the white whale was pretty severe. It could repair itself, but being damaged that badly meant it would take a while before it was completely fixed. The ship could hardly move at this point. There were many holes that went clean through the ship, and the entire structure seemed on the verge of falling apart.

"Han Sen, was that really the Holy Area Grass? Might I see it?" Fang Qing Yu asked Han Sen, his eyes gleaming with hope.

"You know what the Holy Area Grass is?" Han Sen asked.

Fang Qing Yu nodded. "I've heard of it, although I've never seen it before. Even in the Thousand Treasures Alliance, there are only a few tales and legends surrounding its existence. The details are scarce, and we don't even have any pictures of it."

"Does that mean the Holy Area Grass is something very precious?" Han Sen was so happy.

"It isn't just precious. Even powerful factions like the Thousand Treasures would like the Holy Area Grass. If this is the real deal, this Holy Area Grass could be exchanged for the ownership of multiple systems."

"What is the Holy Area Grass used for?" Han Sen asked with confusion.

So far, Han Sen hadn't seen the Holy Area Grass do anything other than attract xenogeneics.

Even if eating it could make you deified, it still wouldn't have the same value as a few large systems.

"I only know a few legends about it, but I don't know if they are true. According to the records of the Thousand Treasures Alliance, eating the Holy Area Grass can provide access to a mysterious xenogeneic space known as the Holy Area. There is no sickness or death in that place, and when you enter it, it can make you immortal," Fang Qing Yu said after a moment of thought.

Upon hearing that, Han Sen was rather disappointed. He knew that claim couldn't be true.

If being immortal was so simple, then the Sacred Leader wouldn't have gone to such lengths in attempting to extend his own life. He wouldn't have spent so much effort trying to kill a god.

Entering the Holy Area didn't sound legit to Han Sen. If eating the plant would let him enter some Holy Area, the black cricket would have been there already. Why would it still be here?

"Oh no, Bao'er! Get that cloud of your gourd," Han Sen hastily told Bao'er, thinking about the black cricket.

The black cricket was still somewhere inside of that fluffy white cloud, and Han Sen didn't know if it had eaten all the Holy Area Grass.

So, Bao'er released the cloud. Han Sen approached it and saw that the Holy Area Grass was still there. He brushed the leaves of the Holy Area Grass. He soon discovered that the root of the Holy Area Grass had something ball-shaped on it. There was a tiny hole in the ball-shaped thing. The cricket must have made a house in there.

The hole looked too small to admit Han Sen's fingers. He didn't know how to get the black cricket out of there without hurting the Holy Area Grass.

"Brother Fang, do you think this is the Holy Area Grass?" Han Sen gave the Holy Area Grass to Fang Qing Yu.

Fang Qing Yu accepted it and examined it. After a while of observation, he said, "There isn't much information available in the Thousand Treasures Alliance, but this does look the same as the illustrations that I've seen. I cannot be entirely sure, though. If it is the real Holy Area Grass, you are going to have to find a way to hide it. The Holy Area Grass is very attractive to many xenogeneics, and they will do anything to claim it."

Han Sen's face looked glum. He didn't know if this was the Holy Area Grass, but it had already attracted many xenogeneics. It had even attracted deified xenogeneics like the Tianxia Peacock King. Not even Destiny's Tower had contained its magnetic effect on xenogeneics.

"Daddy, I will help you keep it," Bao'er said, her eyes closing in a slow blink.

"Sure. You take it for now, then." Han Sen knew Bao'er liked the plant.

Han Sen would never skimp on the resources that he provided to his daughter. Plus, he didn't know how to deal with the Holy Area Grass for now, so there was no harm in allowing Bao'er to hold onto it for the time being.

Bao'er was very happy about this. She put the Holy Area Grass and cloud back inside her little gourd.

"Bao'er, inside the Holy Area Grass is a black cricket. Earlier, it broke the Tianxia Peacock King's belly. You need to be careful with that thing," Han Sen warned her.

"Crickets are my favorite! I should get another one to make the crickets fight," Bao'er said happily.

"What I mean to say is that the black cricket eats the Holy Area Grass. Don't let it eat all the Holy Area Grass," Han Sen said with a wry smile.

"We need to let him eat it. We can't eat the grass. It is only useful to us if he eats it," Bao'er said.

"You know what it is?" Han Sen asked Bao'er in shock.

Bao'er thought and then said, "I don't know why, but I do know that if he finishes all the grass, it can take us to a fun place called the Holy Area."

"Bao'er must have some sort of prophetic power," Han Sen thought. He knew Bao'er wouldn't lie to him, but Bao'er seemed to have the answers to the strangest questions. It was hard to imagine what sort of creature she was.

Although the white whale was heavily damaged, they had earned a lot in their most recent adventure. Han Sen had captured the Holy Area Grass and the black cricket. He had also gotten the Tianxia Peacock King's body and the soul robe beast soul. All those items were priceless.

He didn't know what sort of power Bao'er's little gourd had. Ever since the Holy Area Grass was sucked inside, though, no further cloud beasts came for them. The Holy Area Grass was no longer connected to the outside world.

Han Sen found a chance to quietly transport the Tianxia Peacock King's body back to the sanctuaries. Right now, Han Sen had no way of consuming the flesh of a deified xenogeneic. So, he had to just store it for the time being.

Han Sen drove the white whale through the rest of the Tianxia System. For a few days, it was smooth sailing and nothing bad happened. They encountered a few King class cloud beasts, which were swiftly killed by Han Sen.

Whenever there was free time, Han Sen kept trying to push The Story of Genes' self-cogwheel.

The Story of Genes' self-cogwheel was the same as the Blood-Pulse Sutra's. They were separate and not connected to the other universal cogwheels. However, unlike the Blood-Pulse Sutra, it couldn't connect with other-self cogwheels either. This cogwheel was completely independent. It had no connection to anything else in the universe.

It was different from the Dongxuan Sutra. The Dongxuan Sutra connected to every cogwheel in the universe. The Story of Genes couldn't operate with a single other cogwheel.

According to most theories, the fewer connections a cogwheel had to others, the easier it was to push. After all, it took power to move every cogwheel, so the more cogwheels that needed to be moved, the more strength was required.

But with Han Sen's power, he still couldn't push the self-cogwheel of The Story of Genes. It was as if the cogwheel was locked up, or maybe it wasn't supposed to be moved.

Han Sen used his Dongxuan Area and noticed that the cogwheel wasn't big. The white cogwheel also had weird symbols engraved across it. Han Sen realized they were the same as those on Spell's forehead. They might have meant Eternity.

Chapter 2496: The Story of Genes Leveling Up to King Class

Despite countless attempts, Han Sen never succeeded in activating The Story of Genes' cogwheel. But now, things were different. Han Sen had the peacock king's soul robe. Through the buffs provided by the peacock king's beast soul, his power could rival that of a deified. With deified power behind him, Han Sen believed he'd have what it took to finally put the self-cogwheel in motion.

After a few days, Han Sen found the right time to do that. He locked himself in an isolated room and fired up The Story of Genes to get to work on his leveling up plan.

He summoned his peacock king beast soul, and the feathery soul robe appeared around Han Sen. The peacock symbol on the back of the robe began to glow.

Han Sen's heart jumped. The rainbow peacock symbol suddenly became a peacock king shadow. It floated behind Han Sen.

Many rainbow godlight buffs flowed into Han Sen's body then. Rainbow-like colors shimmered through his aura, generating a substance chain.

With that unlimited soul power, Han Sen cast The Story of Genes and used the rainbow godlight to push his self-cogwheel.

Katcha!

The rainbow godlight that could destroy planets was able to push The Story of Genes' self-cogwheel, but the cogwheel only moved a tiny amount. It looked like an old door with rusty hinges. It was only slightly ajar.

Han Sen was thrilled, though. He kept pushing the rainbow godlight power into the self-cogwheel. The soul robe allowed Han Sen to summon a mind-boggling amount of power, and yet, it seemed to be fighting an uphill battle as it struggled to push the self-cogwheel.

"Such much power, yet it can barely move The Story of Genes' self-cogwheel. If I used my own power, I have no clue when I would be able to get it moving. Perhaps I would have to wait until all my other geno arts were deified before I could push The Story of Genes to King." Han Sen was shocked.

The self-cogwheel moved steadily, and after it completed one cycle, it started to move faster and faster. The spell symbol was getting brighter and brighter, too.

In the end, Han Sen was able to release his power, and the self-cogwheel was able to spin on its own. The door to the universal core hall was opened for him. Han Sen entered and discovered that he was actually someplace new. It was vastly different from the place he had expected to enter.

"Using different self-cogwheels to enter the core area spawns me in different places, and that means I can appear in four different locations. That is interesting." Han Sen didn't stay for long. He proceeded to exit the core area.

The Tianxia System was too dangerous, so now wasn't the time for him to kick back and have a relaxed xenogeneic hunt.

The journey, however, was surprisingly free from strife. They traveled through the Tianxia System for another two weeks. Along the way, they didn't encounter any other deified elites. Han Sen was able to deal with ordinary xenogeneics and Kings easily.

"Little Captain, you can do it. You can do it. You can do it… Captain, you can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it…" Han Sen and Bao'er were playing Old Man. The pirates were watching. They kept shouting and clapping as they did. If people didn't know better, they would believe this was a television commercial.

In that fun atmosphere, it looked as if they were having a simple competition. Han Sen appeared relaxed, but he suddenly became serious.

"Bao'er, guess which card this is," Han Sen said with a smile. He was looking at Bao'er's two cards.

"You guess." Bao'er smiled and blinked at Han Sen.

"You're getting smart, Little Evil. Not even I can see what you're thinking about these days." Han Sen looked at the two cards but hesitated. He couldn't tell what the two cards in Bao'er's hands were. He couldn't tell which was the ghost card and which was the card that he needed.

If he picked the wrong card, and thus ended up with the ghost card, he would stand no chance.

Han Sen looked at the nearby pirates. He wanted to see if he could read their faces to learn where the right card was, but he received no answer.

"Daddy, stop looking at them. They cannot see what card I have. You can't learn anything from their faces." Bao'er smiled beatifically and said, "This time, I'm going to win."

Han Sen smiled. He reached his hand out to a card and said, "I want this card."

As Han Sen touched the card, Bao'er's face changed. But it was only for a moment.

Han Sen suddenly let go of that card and picked up the other. He flipped it over to reveal a three of hearts. It paired with Han Sen's three of spades.

"Why… why I lost…" Bao'er clutched her face, looking destroyed. She threw the ghost card down on the table.

"Ha! Ha… your father is your father forever!" Han Sen laughed and stroked her head.

"Do it again! I'm going to win," Bao'er pleaded while gripping the cards.

Han Sen coughed into his hand. "I think I'm busy now. Let them play with you." Han Sen quickly stood up and shoved a pirate down to play with her.

"This little girl is getting too smart. I almost got fooled by her. I cannot play with her anymore because losing would be way too embarrassing," Han Sen thought, touching his nose.

Bao'er wasn't happy that she had finally found a chance to play with him, and she had still lost. She felt quite depressed because of this, and she took it out on the pirates. A short time later, the bodies of all the pirates were covered in stickers.

Han Sen went back to his room and summoned Spell. Ever since The Story of Genes had become King class, Han Sen had tried to figure out what The Story of Genes' area did.

The Blood-Pulse Sutra's self-cogwheel didn't connect with any universal cogwheels, but it could still push the self-cogwheels of other creatures. The self-cogwheel of The Story of Genes was completely independent, though. It just kept spinning in place, all alone. It didn't connect with anything.

Aside from making Han Sen's body and genes stronger, he hadn't discovered what The Story of Genes' area did.

Spell had become King class when he pushed his self-cogwheel. Some of her abilities had gotten stronger, but otherwise, she had gained no new forms or powers.

Aside from her body getting better, Spell was the same as when she was a Duke.

However, Han Sen had been surprised to discover a self-cogwheel in Spell's body.

Spell was just his geno armor, much like the Dongxuan Armor. They were just by-products of geno arts. They shouldn't possess their own self-cogwheels.

But Spell was like a real creature, and she had her own self-cogwheel. That really surprised Han Sen.

If he hadn't been investigating how to use The Story of Genes, he probably wouldn't have looked at Spell's body with the Dongxuan Aura. It might have been a long time before he discovered her self-cogwheel.

Spell's self-cogwheel was the same as Han Sen's self-cogwheel. It was like a copied version.

Han Sen was sure that it wasn't his own self-cogwheel, though. And that was because he was unable to control Spell's cogwheel.

Han Sen's eyes suddenly widened. "Does that mean The Story of Genes' self-cogwheel is designed to push Spell's own cogwheel?"

Chapter 2497: The Use of The Story of Genes

Seeing Spell's self-cogwheel, Han Sen reached his hand out to touch her forehead. He activated The Story of Genes' self-cogwheel.

Katcha!

Two identical self-cogwheels were able to connect. They fit together perfectly.

As Han Sen's self-cogwheel started to move, Spell's self-cogwheel followed along with it. The two cogwheels accelerated together, becoming brighter and brighter with Spell.

But because of the teeth of the cogwheels, the two cogwheels spun in opposite directions. One of them went clockwise, and the other went counter-clockwise.

As they spun faster and faster, Spell shone with ever-increasing intensity. Han Sen and Spell's power was moving like crazy.

They both had the power of The Story of Genes. Han Sen soon detected that his power was different from Spell's power, but he couldn't discern exactly what made each one unique.

Han Sen guessed that the difference in their powers had something to do with the way the self-cogwheels were spinning in opposite directions.

As Han Sen tried to figure out what benefit the connection between the cogwheels provided, Spell's body suddenly began to change beneath his hand.

This change was different from when she became the armor, the pistols, the sniper rifle, or the rocket launcher. Spell stepped toward Han Sen and connected with his body.

"This is…" Han Sen was shocked. This was a familiar feeling. It was the same feeling as when he combined with Little Angel.

Of course, when Spell combined with Han Sen's body, his body changed, too. His hair and his eyes changed to reflect Spell's colors. His body became softer. The strange symbols of Spell appeared across his forehead.

This combination was different than when Spell became an armor set for Han Sen to wear. It was more like the combination process and result Han Sen had experienced with Little Angel. And Han Sen's body had no armor.

After combining with Spell, Han Sen noticed he had two self-cogwheels for The Story of Genes. He could barely believe it. They were still active and spinning in opposite directions, but aside from affecting each other, they didn't connect with any other universal cogwheels. They weren't much different now than when they were apart. There were no area powers.

But because they had combined, Han Sen's fitness had risen higher.

While Han Sen was wondering about the power of The Story of Genes' area, he suddenly felt a mysterious shockwave come from inside his Sea of Soul.

Han Sen had felt this shockwave before. And now, it was happening again. Han Sen peered into his Sea of Soul and saw the black crystal armor. A symbol had appeared on the helmet of the black crystal armor that looked exactly the same as the one on Han Sen's forehead. It was glowing with a gentle light.

Han Sen felt that his connection with the black crystal armor had never been this close before. It was as if he could control it with his mind.

But Han Sen swiftly realized that it was an illusion, more than anything. He could see the symbiotic connection between himself and the black crystal armor, but he still couldn't control it.

But this change made Han Sen a very happy boy. "Is the power of The Story of Genes meant to control the black crystal armor? The connection between me and the black crystal armor has certainly strengthened. If The Story of Genes levels up to a certain point, maybe I will be able to actually control the black crystal armor."

Han Sen's mind returned to the moment when the black crystal armor's punch had annihilated that statue. He would definitely like to max out The Story of Genes to be able to don such armor.

But that also made Han Sen a touch worried. "The Story of Genes was invented by Sacred Leader and that strange woman. Its purpose was to kill gods. Why does The Story of Genes have a connection with the black crystal armor? Is the black crystal armor connected to Sacred Leader? The black crystal armor originates from the sanctuaries. If it is connected with the Sacred Leader, why did the Sacred Leader leave it behind in the sanctuaries? If the black crystal armor is an item the Sacred Leader created to slay a god, then did it fail? Is that why he just tossed it into the sanctuaries?"

He knew it was unlikely that the Sacred Leader would just throw the set of armor away like that. So, it was just a guess. No one knew the truth just yet.

After learning what Spell could be used for, Han Sen felt depressed. Until he opened the black crystal armor, Spell's area wouldn't help him much. Combining with her only made his body stronger. There were no special abilities.

"No way. The Story of Genes must be independent. That woman never said that The Story of Genes required a set of armor. What is going on? Does the black crystal armor exist because it was the only way for the Sacred Leader to learn The Story of Genes? Is that why they are a match?" That idea actually seemed possible.

When he first tried to practice The Story of Genes, he failed repeatedly. It was through the help of the black crystal armor that he was able to properly start practicing with The Story of Genes.

If Sacred Leader and that woman created The Story of Genes and noticed that it couldn't be practiced, Sacred Leader might have found a way to do so through the synthesis of that black crystal armor. In that case, Han Sen's experience with The Story of Genes might make sense.

There was one thing that didn't make sense, though. If the black crystal armor was something that helped The Story of Genes, Sacred Leader must have carried it around with him like a treasure. Why would he leave it behind in the sanctuaries? And on top of that, why would he leave it in the first realm of the sanctuaries?

Han Sen didn't understand, so he stopped thinking about it and released his connection with Spell.

"Weird. When I combine with Spell, why is the process so similar to what I do with Little Angel?" Han Sen wanted to find Little Angel and try it again, but she wasn't here. So, that would have to wait.

When Han Sen returned to the control deck, the pirates were standing in front of Bao'er. They all looked depressed. They were Dukes and Kings, but their faces were covered with stickers. They looked hilarious.

He saw that the eyes of the pirates were pleading for help. So, Han Sen put Bao'er on his shoulder and said, "Okay, you should let them go back to work now. We should have a look at the knights of the Extreme King."

Han Sen walked a few steps when he suddenly heard a pirate shout, "Captain, look! Something is approaching us."

Han Sen looked where the man was indicating, and he saw a giant battleship amidst the clouds. The battleship was almost as big as a planet.

It wasn't rare to see a ship that big, but this was the Tianxia System. Most electronics failed to work in this place, so it was surprising to see something that large remain functional.

As Han Sen mulled over this oddity, the battleship came near the white whale. The enormous white whale looked like a tiny fish next to this monolithic battleship.

Chapter 2498: Saiyan

"Saiyan!" Han Sen's face changed.

If there was a race in the universe that could drive a battleship into the Tianxia System, it would be the Saiyan.

From an evolutionary standpoint, the Saiyan were probably somewhere in the top twenty high races in the universe. But due to their technological advancements, they were considered number six on such a scale.

Even the technology of the Extreme King was lacking when compared to the Saiyan.

When he saw the iron symbol representing the Saiyan on the front of the battleship, he could immediately tell that it was indeed a ship belonging to the Saiyan. Even without seeing the symbol, though, he still would have known. Only the Saiyan could fly a giant battleship into Tianxia System without impediments.

Han Sen hesitated, contemplating flying his white whale elsewhere. The Saiyan battleship fired a beam of light, but luckily, it wasn't an attack on the white whale. The beam of light stopped in front of the ship, and it presented the image of a creature clad in armor. It was a hologram sent over a large distance.

"My dear Han Sen. I am Prince Albert of the Saiyan. My King has ordered me to invite you as a privileged guest of the Saiyan." The armored creature finished with a bow toward Han Sen. He certainly appeared very elegant.

"Thanks for the invite, but no thanks. I'm busy, and I can't spare the time to visit you," Han Sen said, from his position inside the white whale.

Prince Albert heard this, but he went on to say, "Please do not fear, for we mean no harm. We only request that you bless our prince. If there is anything you need, please tell us. Perhaps then we can discuss a price for your service."

"I'm afraid you've misunderstood. I can give you a blessing, but turning a normal creature into a deified elite is an impossible task," Han Sen said.

Prince Albert laughed. "We know that. Don't worry, we aren't going to force you to do something impossible. Our King merely wants you to bless a few princes. An increase in talent is all we expect and require. There is nothing else."

"I see. But I really am busy. I can't visit you now." Han Sen didn't believe anything Prince Albert was telling him.

"If that is really what you want, then we won't force you to come with us. If you are free at any point, however, please consider visiting the Saiyan. If you are able to bless a few of our princes, we would owe you much." Prince Albert continued to say, "You are wanted by the Extreme King, so I'm afraid the road you traverse is not a safe one. I can make a path for you that will see you safely out of this place."

After that, the giant battleship that looked like a planet turned around went forward. Han Sen hesitated, but he still guided the white whale after the huge ship.

If Prince Albert planned to force him to go to the Saiyan, then Han Sen wouldn't have much choice in the matter regardless. So, he followed to see what they truly wanted.

Surprisingly, the Saiyan really did just escort them out of the Tianxia System.

Since the battleships of ordinary races couldn't enter the Tianxia System, the Saiyan had the large advantage of being able to do what the others could not. They knew that place far better than most people did. Plus, they had advanced technology. They could avoid many unnecessary troubles.

In under a month, Han Sen exited the Tianxia System under the protection of the Saiyan battleship.

"My dear Han Sen, I hope one day you can come to see the Saiyan," Prince Albert said. After bidding farewell to Han Sen, the prince's battleship sped up and departed. He didn't attempt to fight Han Sen.

"The Saiyan are interesting." Han Sen watched the Saiyan battleship disappear into space, surprised by the unexpected politeness.

"Mister Captain is awesome. Even Prince Albert is so polite to you. He is one of their deified elites, practically a god amongst the Saiyan."

"Mister Captain is so famous. I feel so blessed that I can follow Mister Captain and Little Captain."

The pirates were brown-nosing like usual, but they really were in shock.

Han Sen had killed an Extreme King prince and was thus wanted by the Extreme King. Despite that, he was being treated so courteously by others. His reputation seemed to defy reason.

Han Sen knew that Prince Albert and the Saiyan only treated him that way because of his blessing abilities. Han Sen appreciated what they had done, though.

"If I have the chance to, I will go see the Saiyan. But it will be an expensive visit for them," Han Sen thought to himself.

Han Sen didn't delay. He allowed Bao'er to pilot the white whale through the systems of chaos. They put some distance between themselves and the Tianxia System, and their most dangerous time was behind them.

Because the Saiyan had guided them out, Han Sen had left the Tianxia System far sooner than he expected. Everyone looking for him would surely think that he was still in the Tianxia System. No one blocked Han Sen's path, and he used the reprieve to travel safely through the systems of chaos.

Traveling from Du God City to Sky Palace wasn't a lengthy journey. However, going straight to the xenogeneic space of Sky Palace would have been too dangerous, and he would have been stopped easily. So, he had to take a very roundabout way.

Clearly, that road hadn't been as uneventful as he had hoped. And the Tianxia System was widely believed to be much safer than the systems of chaos. The Extreme King had knights patrolling the systems of chaos, so reaching Sky Palace by traveling that way would be very difficult.

When Han Sen entered the systems of chaos, he figured that the Extreme King wouldn't yet know that he had escaped the Tianxia System. Intending to take advantage of the information lag, Han Sen plotted a course that would take him deep through that realm. But after a short while of travel, someone was standing in space, blocking Han Sen's way.

"Bai Wuchang. Why is he here? If he is here, then that means soldiers of the Extreme King are here as well." Han Sen was shocked.

"Han Sen, come on out! Don't worry, it's only me here! I'm willing to fight you now," Bai Wuchang called out to the white whale, still hovering in space.

After a moment of thought, Han Sen flew out of the white whale. When he was a little closer to Bai Wuchang, he asked the man, "How did you know where to find me?"

He wasn't afraid of Bai Wuchang, and he thought that their meeting was strange. He didn't know how Bai Wuchang had managed to run into him here. It was way too much of a coincidence.

"I asked Teacher Ancient Abyss to calculate your path for me. He told me I could wait here for you. He was right! You are here," Bai Wuchang said.

Upon hearing that, Han Sen was shocked. He couldn't believe someone had guessed he would show up in this place. And not only that, but they had sent someone to wait there for him. That was too scary.

Chapter 2499: Ghost Knife Skill

Han Sen mulled over how Teacher Ancient Abyss could so accurately calculate his proposed escape route. Telling Bai Wuchang where to wait for Han Sen might not have been all that difficult because Teacher Ancient Abyss was a smart person. Especially since Han Sen's journey hadn't been particularly leisurely; pursuers had been hot on his heels the whole time. It made him alert.

"Enough of this! Come fight me. I'm going to win this time," Bai Wuchang's said, as the power within him exploded. His entire body took on a golden glow. It was his Ghost King Body.

"What a strong power. You leveled up to become half-deified?" Han Sen looked at Bai Wuchang with shock. Bai Wuchang's leveling speed was too fast.

Bai Wuchang coldly said, "Extreme Mountain's life and death practice. I'm not the old me anymore. I won't lose this time."

"I'm sorry if this sounds too straightforward, but even if you are half-deified, I think you'll end up quite disappointed if you expect to beat me with just your Ghost King Body," Han Sen said while looking at Bai Wuchang.

Bai Wuchang stared at Han Sen. He responded slowly, word by word. "Come fight me. As I said, I'm not going to lose."

Han Sen didn't say anything. He just drew his Ghost Teeth Knife. He used Fang and slashed toward Bai Wuchang. In addition to the Teeth power in his knife, he also used Spell's Eternity solidifying powers.

Bai Wuchang's Ghost King Body could ignore all physical and energy attacks. It couldn't block the Eternity solidifying power, though.

Fang Qing Yu brought out the Wanjie Rubix Cube that Han Sen had given back to him. He began filming the fight between Han Sen and Bai Wuchang. It was merely a recording, though. He wasn't streaming it right now.

Fang Qing Yu knew he couldn't risk exposing their location. If he did, the Extreme King would come, and they would all end up very dead.

Bai Wuchang frowned upon seeing Han Sen's slash. He reached out an empty hand and pulled a long blue knife out of nothing. He swung it to collide with Han Sen's Ghost Teeth Knife.

Han Sen saw the rival knife coming to hit Ghost Teeth Knife, and his eyes narrowed suddenly. Instead of continuing his strike, he spun his Ghost Teeth Knife to shield his left side.

Fang Qing Yu and the pirates stared with wide eyes. They thought that Han Sen must have gone insane. Han Sen had chosen not to block Bai Wuchang's knife; Han Sen had no guard, and he just used his knife to protect the left side of his neck.

No matter how they saw it, Han Sen looked crazy. Blocking like that was bound to get him killed.

Dong!

But the next second, they heard the sharp sound of metal knives colliding with one another.

Bai Wuchang had seen Han Sen slashing forward, but then the knife had appeared next to Han Sen's neck just in time to block Bai Wuchang's real strike. If Han Sen's Ghost Teeth Knife had been any slower, the attack would have come down on Han Sen's neck.

Fang Qing Yu and the others were shocked, and their mouths were wide open in awe. They didn't understand what they were seeing.

After that knife strike, Bai Wuchang used his other knife skills. His long knife was so weird, and it was pointless to follow the trail of the knife. Every time a strike was unleashed, it would appear in a different place. It was like the knife could teleport through space.

Fang Qing Yu wasn't fast enough to follow what was going on. He had to film it all, for now, so they could slow it down later. But he still didn't understand what Bai Wuchang's knife skills were.

His knife could appear out of space anywhere. There was no sign of it coming, which made it scarier than a ghost. It was like the reaper's scythe. It harvested lives before its prey even knew it was coming.

Fang Qing Yu slowed down the video, then he slowed it down again, and again, and again. But still, he couldn't determine how Bai Wuchang was using his long knife.

The more shocking thing, though, was that Han Sen was able to block all of Bai Wuchang's attacks. Wherever Bai Wuchang's knife appeared, Han Sen's Ghost Teeth Knife could show up in the same place to counter the blow.

If Bai Wuchang's knife skills were an unpredictable ghost, then Han Sen's knife skills were those of a god. A god that knew everything.

Bai Wuchang's body kept appearing and disappearing. He was a raging storm against the wave-breaking Han Sen. His knife flashed everywhere, defying logic and reason.

Han Sen was hovering in space. He used his Ghost Teeth Knife to block left and right. He moved smoothly, somehow perfectly anticipating and intercepting his enemy's non-knife. He was like a god that knew everything. Those weird knife skills didn't rattle him at all.

"Mister Captain is too strong! If that was me, my head would have been off a long time ago. I wouldn't even have known how I died."

"Mister Captain is like some omniscient god. How does he predict where that knife will show up? He looks like a prophet out there. He is too strong."

"This Extreme King Prince Bai Wuchang, who is oh-so-professional and talented, is lame when compared to Han Sen. He cannot fight the big captain."

"Long live Mister Captain… ah… And let us wish Little Captain a long life, too! Long life! Long life!" The pirate, seeing Bao'er stare at him, immediately added her praise.

Through all of this, though, Bai Wuchang was demonstrating a truly shocking amount of improvement. When he was in Extreme Mountain, risking his life, he had pushed his Ghost King Body to the max. He had broken through under his own power and learned the real Ghost Knife skills.

Those Ghost Knife skills could go through the underworld as easily as they did the real world. People couldn't predict when and where the knife would land, but Han Sen could see through the dimensions. No matter where the knife came from, he'd be there to block it.

Bai Wuchang pushed his Ghost Teeth Knife to the max. He still couldn't hurt Han Sen.

Bai Wuchang suddenly pulled his knife back and withdrew. Still looking at Han Sen, he said, "You're very strong. You're much stronger than I expected."

"You aren't bad, either. You're getting good," Han Sen replied levelly.

Normal people couldn't see the ghost knife that popped up through the fabric of space, but Han Sen's Dongxuan Area could see through all the cogwheel changes that transpired in an area. When the ghost knife came out of the nothingness, it would trigger the universal cogwheel that was connected to it. That meant Han Sen was being given a warning each time. So, Bai Wuchang's Ghost Knife skill didn't work against him.

If Han Sen used his Dongxuan Area to lock the universal cogwheels in their vicinity, Bai Wuchang's knife would never reappear from space.

Han Sen was curious about Bai Wuchang's Ghost Knife skill, and that was why he had yet to attack. He let Bai Wuchang keep casting his Ghost Knife skill against him so he could observe.

"Now I can use this skill without worry." Bai Wuchang acted as if he hadn't heard Han Sen. He looked down at his knife.

"Which skill?" Han Sen asked.

"The skill I learned from the Extreme Mountain peak. It is the one that can determine life or death," Bai Wuchang said slowly. His eyes looked like they were on fire. A weird power rose in him and his knife.

Chapter 2500: Big Universe Extreme Dead God Light

"The fact that you studied on Extreme Mountain is none of my business," Han Sen thought. "If you want a risky fight, there are xenogeneics everywhere. Why pick on me? I killed that worthless Bai Yi, and now the Extreme King want me dead. But if I had killed this much-loved boy Bai Wuchang, King Bai would likely come after me himself. Why am I considered the one who started all this?"

But Bai Wuchang wasn't going to give him the chance to stop fighting. The prince was raging more and more. The ghost-like body became solid, but something about it still seemed incorporeal. Looking at it was like looking at an illusion.

Han Sen frowned. Bai Wuchang's blue knife darkened to black. It felt as if some black substance chains were writhing just under the surface.

"What kind of knife skills are these? They're going to produce substance chains just like the black tiger I met previously. Although the substance chains haven't fully formed yet, if he can manage to do this, Bai Wuchang has a ninety percent chance of becoming deified," Han Sen thought as he observed Bai Wuchang.

Bai Wuchang's eyes were on fire. His gaze was invasive as it crept over Han Sen. "The road up Extreme Mountain is arduous. There is a ninety percent chance of dying, and there is only a ten percent chance of surviving. The gambit's rewards, however, are very big. I earned Extreme Mountain's prestigious skill called Big Universe Extreme Dead God Light. One hit can destroy everything, so you better watch it!"

"Can I not, please?" Han Sen asked, looking frustrated.

"No." When Bai Wuchang answered, he was already attacking.

The black knife's light came at Han Sen. There was no stopping it. It was like the knife had never even moved. The moment the knife light appeared was the moment it was inside Han Sen's body.

"It is the same as the Blood-Pulse Sutra's self-cogwheel. It is a power that can affect the self-cogwheels of other creatures." Han Sen was shocked. Because it was used directly on his self-cogwheel, the strike was almost impossible to dodge. It was a devastating attack.

But it was different from the Blood-Pulse Sutra. The Blood-Pulse Sutra pushed the self-cogwheels of others. Bai Wuchang's knife light destroyed the self-cogwheels of others.

If the self-cogwheel was broken, that meant the person would be almost dead, and their lifeforce would be gone.

Dodging that blow wouldn't be difficult if he was farther away from Bai Wuchang; as the distance between them increased, the effect on Han Sen's self-cogwheel would be weakened. That meant the strike would be weaker.

But Han Sen hadn't known Bai Wuchang could unleash a strike such as this. He was too close to Bai Wuchang. It was too late to dodge now, so he had no choice but to accept that hit.

A power inside Han Sen's body moved. A self-cogwheel was spinning. That cogwheel was flashing with a weird symbol. It was The Story of Genes' self-cogwheel.

Bai Wuchang's black knife light went into him and struck his self-cogwheel, but it was unable to move Han Sen's self-cogwheel. The black knife hit the self-cogwheel and broke. It shattered into chunks of a black substance, then dissolved.

"It looks like your skill is nothing substantial," Han Sen said to Bai Wuchang, who looked frozen.

"No… impossible…" Bai Wuchang stared at Han Sen in disbelief. Han Sen was at the perfect distance for him to use his Big Universe Extreme Dead God Light.

At this distance, Bai Wuchang believed that he could eliminate any being in the universe that was beneath the deified level. Even killing a half-deified would die as easy as chopping the head off a chicken. Both would die in one hit.

But Han Sen had been hit by the strongest unleashing of his Big Universe Extreme Dead God Light, and nothing had happened. Bai Wuchang could scarcely believe it.

Although Bai Wuchang couldn't see self-cogwheels, he knew that the Big Universe Extreme Dead God Light was a very mysterious and scary power. It ignored all types of defenses to kill the lifeforce directly.

Han Sen simply wasn't affected by the Big Universe Extreme Dead God Light.

As Bai Wuchang stared at Han Sen's motionless form, he stopped swinging. He just gripped his knife, unsure of what to do.

"Do you want to keep going?" Han Sen asked, looking at Bai Wuchang.

"I lose, but next time…" Before Bai Wuchang could finish, Han Sen interrupted violently.

"Next time, my f*cking *ss!" Han Sen jumped forward. He leaped in front of Bai Wuchang and punched him square in the face. A scary power caved-in Bai Wuchang's entire skull. Blood squelched from the mashed-in face and around Han Sen's fist. Bai Wuchang was sent flying.

Han Sen followed after the soaring victim. His fists and legs were like a storm, raining down blows on Bai Wuchang.

Han Sen was enraged, and there was no stopping him now. Bai Wuchang's flesh tore and his bones shattered under the assault. He couldn't even fight back as Han Sen beat his body to a pulp.

"You're a crazy madman! You think you're so strong, don't you? You think you can do anything you want just because you're King Bai's son!" Han Sen kept speaking as he punched. His fists kept landing on Bai Wuchang's face, utterly annihilating his skull. The man's eyeballs were squashed, and his nose was reversed into what was left of his face.

Han Sen was still so angry. He kept punching like mad, breaking all of the other man's bones. Bai Wuchang screamed until he could scream no longer.

Fang Qing Yu and the pirates were all frozen. That was King Bai's favorite son. Han Sen had killed Bai Yi, which led to a universal APB being put on him. If he killed Bai Wuchang, King Bai would come after him personally.

Bai Wuchang's Ghost King Body, his Ghost Knife skills, and his Big Universe Extreme Dead God Light were so strong. But he was too focused on power. His techniques, his strength, and his timing with areas were shoddy.

He was able to destroy enemies that couldn't defeat his powers. But if he met someone as strong as him, he would end up getting crushed.

Han Sen grabbed Bai Wuchang and lifted him like a sack of wet mud. He carried the man back to the white whale. Han Sen tossed him down, and blood sprayed everywhere when the Extreme King prince hit the floor in a boneless heap.

Fang Qing Yu and the pirates stared at Bai Wuchang on the floor. He didn't look human anymore. If not for his Ghost King Body, he would have been killed.

All of the pirates were thinking, "He could have offended anyone but this guy. I can't believe he even beat up King Bai's favorite son so badly. There's no one he wouldn't dare to punch."

"Lock him up. Take him as a hostage. If the Extreme King people still dare come for us, I will cut his head off." Han Sen's face was as hard a granite.

Rage still boiled through Han Sen. He had met many fighting maniacs in his time, like Lone Bamboo. But even Lone Bamboo had his limits. This Bai Wuchang, however, was all about killing. He didn't have a reason, and he didn't need one. It was all about killing for him.

Fortunately, Han Sen's self-cogwheel was as hard as it was. And he had the Eternity solidifying powers. The self-cogwheels of ordinary creatures would have been destroyed by Bai Wuchang's strike. If a person's self-cogwheel broke, then they were essentially dead. The state they were left in was worse than being a vegetable.

Chapter 2501: Depressed Ice Blue Knight King

Ice Blue Knight King was feeling very conflicted. He never thought that bringing Han Sen to the Extreme King would be the catalyst for so much trouble. If Ice Blue Knight King had a chance to do things over, he'd never have taken Han Sen away from Narrow Moon.

If he could go back, he wouldn't force Han Sen to join the Extreme King. In fact, even if Han Sen had begged Ice Blue Knight King and called him grandfather, he still wouldn't take Han Sen with him. He would slap Han Sen until he fell upon the ground, then order him to remain in Narrow Moon. Han Sen could stay there and bring harm to the Rebate, Ice Blue Knight King believed. Wherever Han Sen went, he brought trouble and turmoil with him.

But it was a shame there were no do-overs in the world. So, now, Ice Blue Knight King had a massive headache pounding against his temples.

"What happened to my brain back then, when I forced him out of there?" Ice Blue Knight King just wanted to slap himself in the face.

Han Sen had killed a prince. He had disguised himself as a prince. He had taken treasures and power from the Extreme King. Everything Han Sen said and did made Ice Blue Knight King feel as if he was plummeting into an abyss.

He knew it was game over for him. He was the one that brought Han Sen to the Extreme King, and he knew it was only a matter of time before he got dragged into this affair. Even if his participation wasn't considered a crime, he was afraid that his career would never progress any further.

But that wasn't the worst thing he feared. He had just received another piece of news from the Extreme King. Han Sen had broken through all the chokepoints that the Extreme had set up for him, traveled the length and breadth of the Tianxia System, and reached the systems of chaos.

Ice Blue Knight King had no idea how Han Sen had accomplished this. He was being chased by the whole universe, but he had managed to make it to the systems of chaos. That made Ice Blue Knight King confused.

Right now, Ice Blue Knight King had received an order. He had to stop Han Sen at all costs. If Han Sen made it past him, he would no longer have to show up for work. He would never serve as an Ice Blue Knight captain again.

Thinking about having to take his fellow Ice Blue Knights to stop Han Sen, Ice Blue Knight King felt like there was an icy fist tightening around his stomach.

Ice Blue Knight King had watched the live streams of Han Sen in the Tianxia System. The systems of chaos were dangerous, but it was much easier to use technology there than in the Tianxia System.

Han Sen leveling up Lando to deified class surprised him. It was like a miracle performed by God. It was pretty hard to believe.

The scariest thing was that he had seen Han Sen battling on video. He wasn't sure if he would be able to stop Han Sen, not even if he led the entire might of the Ice Blue Knights against him. He didn't think he had a snowflake's chance in hell.

But an order was an order, and Ice Blue Knight King had to follow through. If he didn't, no one would be able to save him.

Using the news he received from the Extreme King and the knowledge he already had on the systems of chaos, Ice Blue Knight King took his Ice Blue Knights to intercept Han Sen.

It worked. The beaten-up white whale was easy to spot.

When Han Sen saw Ice Blue Knight King, he was surprised. He had intentionally avoided going close to the headquarters of the Ice Blue Knights, and still, he was intercepted.

"It seems that the Extreme King now know I am in the systems of chaos. I'm afraid people like Meng Lie will start showing up again soon," Han Sen thought to himself.

"Han Sen, if you stop and come with us to the Extreme King, things will still be alright," Ice Blue Knight said as he looked upon the battered white whale.

He watched as the white whale opened its mouth and Han Sen emerged.

Despite all his recent battles, Han Sen didn't look any worse for wear. His cheeks had a healthy flush, and all-in-all, he looked quite cheery. He even had a wretched smile that would make anyone want to punch him on sight.

"Ice Blue Knight King. How are you doing, man?" Han Sen smiled and greeted Ice Blue Knight King.

Ice Blue Knight King gave Han Sen a strange look. He remembered the time when he had taken Han Sen away from Narrow Moon, and he could see how much he had changed since then.

At that moment, Ice Blue Knight King wished he had never seen Han Sen's face before.

"Come back to the Extreme King, or I will do you harm," Ice Blue Knight King said in a hard voice. The cannons and weapons were all primed and ready to fire on Han Sen.

The knights of the Ice Blue Knights were ready. All that Ice Blue Knight King had to do was give a single command, and those knights would unleash enough firepower to blow up a planet.

But facing Han Sen, Ice Blue Knight King didn't feel confident at all. So many deified beings had chased him, and yet, he had still gotten this far. He wouldn't be an easy enemy to bring down.

"Ice Blue Knight King, I need ten cubic meters of cloud crystal stone. And I need three thousand gallons of V758 geno fluid…" Han Sen suddenly began listing out items that he wanted.

The Ice Blue Knights were shocked. They didn't know what Han Sen meant. They were going to fight, so why was he making demands?

"He wants those items he just listed?" Ice Blue Knight King thought in confusion. This was ridiculous.

"What do you mean?" Ice Blue Knight King looked expressionlessly at Han Sen.

"It means hurry up and get me what I asked for. I will give you three hours," Han Sen said in annoyance.

Ice Blue Knight King and the other Ice Blue Knights thought this was ridiculous. Han Sen was wanted by the Extreme King, but now he was giving them a store list and a deadline. This was hilarious.

"Han Sen, have you gone insane, or am I going senile? We are the Ice Blue Knights. We are a powerful force that serves the Extreme King. The glorious name of the Ice Blue Knights is known far and wide, and—"

"Right. Save your breath and go get my things. You have two hours and fifty-eight minutes." Han Sen interrupted Ice Blue Knight King and clapped his hands.

At that moment, Ice Blue Knight King saw two other people emerge from the white whale. Both of them were King class creatures, and between them, they were carrying a limp form.

The person they were carrying looked really bad. He was beaten and swollen. His clothes were drenched in blood, and his bones were like mush. He couldn't stand by himself. Two Kings stood to his left and right, holding him upright.

Ice Blue Knight King recognized who it was, and his mouth went dry. He looked at Han Sen, then back at the other person with disbelief.

"Bai Wuchang… King Bai's favorite son… God, what did Han Sen do?" Ice Blue Knight King thought. His mind felt empty.

Killing Prince Sixteen wasn't enough, it seemed. Han Sen had now taken King Bai's favorite son Bai Wuchang hostage. He had also beaten him to a pulp. Ice Blue Knight King couldn't imagine that anyone but Han Sen was capable of such a thing.

"You have two hours and fifty-five minutes. If I don't get all the things I want on time, I will cut his head off." Han Sen grabbed Bai Wuchang's hair and looked at Ice Blue Knight, who was currently in a stupor.

Chapter 2502: There Is Treasure

The Ice Blue Knights watched in impotent rage as the white whale flew away. Although there were countless weapons and cannons primed and ready to fire at it, no one dared to push the button on that damaged white whale. They only stared at the white whale as it left, until it departed their vision.

Ice Blue Knight King still looked conflicted. He felt helpless about it all, but he also felt rather happy. Although he would never say it out loud, the fact that Han Sen held Bai Wuchang as a hostage would mean that Ice Blue Knight King's supervisors wouldn't require him to chase Han Sen down. They didn't want the Ice Blue Knights and Han Sen to fight after all, and that brought him some relief.

Although he had never really fought against Han Sen, when Ice Blue Knight King saw Han Sen this time, he felt a little unsettled. There was a mystique that surrounded Han Sen and his feats. Han Sen's power seemed unknowable, and that was scary.

If he fought against Han Sen, Ice Blue Knight King had the feeling he and his men would end up in a sorry state.

"Knife, you took a very scary student under your wing," Ice Blue Knight King said with a sigh. Then, he commanded his men to keep an eye on Han Sen's flight path.

Han Sen eyed the abundance of resources on his ship and felt better for them being there. They were the materials he would need to repair the white whale. Now that Han Sen had them in his possession, his escape effort might go a little smoother.

Fang Qing Yu and the pirates felt as if they were dreaming. They had been intercepted by the Extreme King's Ice Blue Knights, and they had emerged wholly unscathed. On top of that, they had been given a whale's worth of supplies.

"This is what we call real pirate booty! We robbed the Extreme King. We are more daring than the real Pirates," the lowly pirates thought. They were starting to believe that following Han Sen wasn't such a bad idea, after all.

But they knew that after Han Sen's did this, the Extreme King would be left insulted and enraged. There was no way King Bai was going to let the remainder of their trip go unimpeded. Greater dangers certainly lay ahead.

Han Sen shared some of the resources they had been given. They had been given food, so there was plenty for everyone to wine and dine. Han Sen wasn't terribly excited about the food he had stolen, but it was nice to satisfy the rest of the crew and give them all full bellies.

And as for the materials they needed to fix-up the white whale, Han Sen put the pirates to work inside the crystal reactor. After that, the white whale would finish the repairs itself. It just needed those materials necessary to do so.

It hadn't self-repaired before this because its crystal reactor lacked the necessary fuel.

Now that they had enough fuel, the white whale could get to work repairing itself. The broken parts started to pull back together, but a complete recovery was still a long while away.

"Captain, someone is following us from behind!" said a pirate running toward Han Sen.

"Ignore them. Let us proceed," Han Sen said without much surprise. It would be weird if the Extreme King didn't order Ice Blue Knight King to follow them.

Han Sen didn't mind that kind of tail, though. When the white whale was wholly recovered, it would be as good as a deified. At that point, it wouldn't be difficult to get rid of the Ice Blue Knights if they tried something.

"This place is close to where Night River King was standing guard," Han Sen thought, looking around in curiosity.

Han Sen was very interested in the diary kept by Night River King, but the last time he scoped the place out, he hadn't had much opportunity to look around. Now, his options for poking his nose where it didn't belong were vastly expanded.

It would take a while for the white whale to be fixed. And during this time, he couldn't get rid of the tail that Ice Blue Knight King had put on him. So, since he had the time, he might as well see if he could figure out what Night River King had been talking about in his diary.

Ice Blue Knight King thought that once Han Sen took the resources, he'd keep running away as fast and as far as he could. But of course, being Han Sen, he had instead decided to mosey around. Rather than focusing on escape, he actually went back to a location near where the Ice Blue Knights had been stationed.

"What is this a*hole trying to do now?" Ice Blue Knight King felt himself going a bit crazy. Taking Han Sen away from Narrow Moon was the worst thing he had done in his entire life.

Han Sen didn't care what Ice Blue Knight King thought, though. He drove the white whale into the border regions of the Ice Blue System, heading toward the planet where Night River King had once been stationed. As Han Sen arrived, he found that Ice Blue Knight King had joined the men who were standing guard there.

"Han Sen, you still haven't left yet. What is it that you want?" Ice Blue Knight King looked at Han Sen, trying not to grind his teeth. If he was able to, he would have liked to kill Han Sen right then and there.

"Nothing. I'm just getting tired. I plan to rest here. You guys go ahead and do your thing. There's no need to escort me so diligently. I will rest on this planet for a little while before leaving," Han Sen said with a smile.

"Who would want to f*cking escort you?" With Ice Blue Knight King's personality, he couldn't help but swear in frustration.

Although he was very mad, Bai Wuchang was still in Han Sen's hands. He couldn't do anything to Han Sen that might interfere with Bai Wuchang's safety. He commanded the Ice Blue Knights not to interfere with Han Sen, just in case Bai Wuchang suffered.

Han Sen allowed the white whale to land on the planet Night River King used to guard. He looked around the nearby planets, but there was no sign of the beings described in Night River King's diary. And there was nothing about those numbers.

According to what Night River King described, whatever it was had to be purple. And there should have been forty of those things with numbers. Plus, they were all King class. They shouldn't have been difficult to find, whatever they were.

If there were dozens of King class fiends here, Han Sen should have found them with ease. However, Han Sen failed to discover a single King class creature on that planet. There were only two Ice Blue Knights that were King class guarding the planet, but they had nothing to do with the numbers.

There were no King class xenogeneics there because the Ice Blue Knights had already cleared them out. Even if some creatures still survived here, they would be low-level. King class beings were unlikely.

Han Sen went to the specific part of the planet where Night River King would have worked, but there was nothing weird there for Han Sen to see. He was a little bit disappointed.

He couldn't stay there for too long, either. If someone like Meng Lie came for him, things would end poorly.

"If the weirdness that Night River King wrote about in his diary didn't happen near where he was stationed, then I have little hope of finding it. The planet is too big for me to search the entire thing in the next one or two days." As Han Sen wondered if he should just give up, Bao'er ran up to him. She used her small fingers to prod Han Sen's sleeves.

"Bao'er, what is it?" Han Sen lowered his head to look at Bao'er with confusion.

Bao'er hooked a finger, and Han Sen knew what she meant. He squatted down to look at Bao'er.

Bao'er put her little mouth to Han Sen's ear and whispered, "Daddy, there is a treasure."

Excitement rose in Han Sen's chest, but he didn't show it. He quietly asked Bao'er, "Do you know where the treasure is?"

Bao'er nodded, and this made Han Sen even happier. He picked up Bao'er and walked out of the white whale. He spoke to one of the pirates, saying, "You guys watch Bai Wuchang. I'm taking Bao'er for a walk."

Chapter 2503: Conspiracy?

The Ice Blue Knights watched Han Sen through a camera, their jaws clenched.

He was like a thief who had run into their house and beaten up their son before proceeding to steal their possessions. After his crimes, instead of running away, he had gone into the backyard for a cup of tea. Wouldn't that make anyone mad?

The worst part was that, in order to preserve Bai Wuchang's life, they had to refrain from doing anything to Han Sen. They had to watch him go for a nice walk on the planet.

"What is he trying to do?" Ice Blue Knight King looked at Han Sen. He couldn't tell what Han Sen's true purpose was in coming here.

Considering the inherent danger in Han Sen's situation, they all thought it would be best if he left sooner rather than later. No matter how strong Han Sen was, he couldn't compete against deified elites. If the Extreme King deifieds arrived, he would be in a lot of danger.

But Han Sen wasn't running. He was just bumbling around. His actions made Ice Blue Knight King and the other higher-ups very uncertain.

They sent a video of Han Sen to the Extreme King. The Extreme King's deified elites were very confused about his purpose there, too. He didn't know why Han Sen was choosing to hang around this random planet. It was like he was just waiting there for them to grab him.

"A conspiracy. There must be some sort of conspiracy…" Sixth Uncle said, gritting his teeth.

They believed that Han Sen had some sort of plan that was about to be exposed, but they weren't sure what it was all about. Everyone thought hard about what was going on, trying to guess what Han Sen was trying to do. But there were too many possibilities. No option seemed more likely than any of the others.

"Let Fourth Uncle and the others go quickly to the systems of chaos. It doesn't matter what Han Sen is planning; it won't be a threat to them," King Bai said coldly.

His favorite son had been taken by Han Sen, but he didn't appear too worried. He looked as if nothing had happened, and he was acting like his usual self.

"Father, I beg you to let me take some people to the systems of chaos. We need to capture Han Sen and save Bai Wuchang," the crown prince bowed and pleaded.

He and Bai Wuchang came from the same mother, so he was closer to Bai Wuchang than he was to the other royal children. He didn't make the request to save Bai Wuchang because of the bloodline-connection, though.

As the son of the same mother, Bai Wuchang was extremely talented, and King Bai loved him. Plus, Bai Wuchang didn't want the throne. He had done a great deal to make his brother the crown prince.

By pleading in this way, he would give King Bai the impression that he greatly loved his brother. And there was no reason for him not to go, anyway.

King Bai still coldly responded, "Our deal with the Meka has reached a critical point. We still need you to follow up. Don't worry; Fourth Uncle can resolve this. And Miss Mirror is also on her way."

Han Sen held Bao'er as he continued walking across the planet. This planet wasn't an ideal place for creatures to live. Aside from the base, the rest of the environment was poor. Only a few xenogeneics could live in such conditions.

That place was similar to a rocky moon. It was full of craters that were the result of many meteor strikes. Many of them were enormous geographical features, whereas others were as small as football fields.

Asteroids near the planet were pulled down by the gravity of the planet. That was why there were always meteors striking the surface.

But now that the Ice Blue Knights had taken over the planet, many of the larger meteors were eliminated before any harm was dealt. The craters around Han Sen had formed before the Ice Blue Knights took over the planet.

Bao'er secretly guided Han Sen. A short while later, Han Sen reached one of the smaller craters. Han Sen looked into the crater, and there was a broken rock at its center.

The broken rock gleamed slightly in a metallic way. It wasn't purple like Han Sen had expected, which disappointed him a bit.

But if Bao'er said there was some treasure available, it had to be something good. Thinking of that improved his mood a little.

Ice Blue Knight King and the other knights watching the video feed saw Han Sen walk next to the rocks with much confusion. They were unsure what Han Sen was thinking.

They kept guessing what Han Sen might be up to, trying to determine what he was planning. But still, they couldn't unravel whatever he had plotted.

As they watched intently, Han Sen moved many rocks away. On the camera, they could see that there were many purple mushrooms beneath the rubble.

Everyone was shocked. That planet wasn't suitable for any form of life, so neither creatures nor plants thrived there. Even ordinary xenogeneics had a hard time on such a planet. Only some xenogeneics adapted for outer space could live there for a while.

But now, there were looking at a bunch of fist-sized purple mushrooms. It was a very rare sight.

Han Sen, upon seeing the mushrooms, looked very happy.

While the knights watching the video feed could only see the purple mushrooms, Han Sen could feel their lifeforce. And he could tell that the purple mushrooms were almost as strong as King class xenogeneics.

"Plant xenogeneics?" Han Sen looked at the purple mushrooms. He counted there to be around seventy of them. Some of them were big, whereas others were small. But they all had King class lifeforces.

"These mushrooms, they cannot be the numbers mentioned by Night River King, can they? Purple mushrooms. Is that what they were? No. Look at these numbers. They should be code for some creature. These cannot be the creatures that the code indicates. These mushrooms should be the items infected by the numbers. So, what is this?" Han Sen looked at them. Aside from the purple mushrooms, there was nothing else around.

"They were always here… where are they?" Han Sen was remembering the contents of Night River King's diary, but the diary made no explicit mention of where they were exactly.

Bao'er looked at the mushrooms, and she seemed ready to start drooling. "Daddy, can I eat them?"

"Can you eat them?" Han Sen reached out his hand and tried to pick up a mushroom. But before he could touch the mushroom, it moved. The umbrella-like cap of the mushroom greatly expanded and then grew smaller, blowing out a haze of purple mist.

Han Sen instantly shielded Bao'er and himself in Jadeskin godlight. He made a wall of ice to shield them from the purple mist that was emitted.

The purple mist came into contact with the ice wall and corroded it. It happened so fast that the ice wall simply melted into that purple color.

Han Sen's eyebrows rose. "A very powerful toxic power."

Ice Blue Knight King and the Extreme King's Sixth Uncle, who were watching the video, were immediately given a shock. They couldn't tell exactly what the mushrooms were from the video. But now that they were seeing the mushrooms, they were stunned. They knew that these strange things had to be King class plant xenogeneics. The mushrooms had a very strong toxic power. If they didn't, they wouldn't have corroded Han Sen's ice light.

"Bao'er, do you really want to eat one of these? You must be joking." Han Sen looked at the poisonous purple mushrooms and spoke to Bao'er.

"I'm not talking about the mushrooms. I was talking about that." Bao'er pointed at something next to the purple mushrooms.

Chapter 2504: Digging Treasure

Han Sen followed Bao'er's instructions when she told him where to look. Amidst that clump of mushrooms was a small clump of grass that didn't look particularly outstanding.

The grass was only three or four centimeters tall. It was very, very small, and it appeared rugged and yellow. It looked as if it had dried up and died. If Bao'er hadn't pointed it out, Han Sen wouldn't have noticed it.

"You want to eat that grass?" Han Sen looked at Bao'er with shock. And he thought to himself, "Since when has Bao'er changed her appetite? I thought she only ate sweets."

"Not the grass. There is something below it," Bao'er said quietly.

"Below?" Han Sen looked at the grass and instantly realized what she meant. The grass was probably similar to the greens of a carrot. The root of the plant was the useful part.

Han Sen stopped hesitating and began using his Ghost Teeth Knife to cut a path to the tiny patch of grass. He swung his knife and cut down some of the toxic purple mushrooms.

King class xenogeneic plants were nothing to Han Sen. One life, one mushroom. He even cut down apart their roots.

The toxic mushrooms released their toxic mist, but Han Sen used an icy light to block it. Although the King class toxic mist was very strong, it couldn't harm Han Sen.

"Xenogeneic King hunted: Toxic Umbrella Mushroom. Xenogeneic gene found."

Han Sen was a little bit surprised. The purple mushrooms really were xenogeneics, and they were King class, as well.

"If Night River King's diary's coded creatures were toxic umbrella mushrooms, then that means something must have affected them. And that was why they became King class. That might also mean they weren't originally King class. But if this is so, what affected them? Could it be that wilted grass?" Han Sen thought to himself.

"Xenogeneic King hunted: Toxic Umbrella Mushroom. Xenogeneic gene found. Obtained Toxic Umbrella Mushroom beast soul."

Once Han Sen had killed thirty of the mushrooms, he earned a King class beast soul. That was surprising.

The mushrooms were King class, and yet, they were unable to move. Their only talent was the ability to release toxic spores that were ineffective against someone like Han Sen.

Han Sen quickly cleared the rest of them out and earned two Toxic Umbrella Mushroom beast souls.

That surprised Han Sen. They were weapon beast souls, but right now, Han Sen didn't have time to stop and give them a closer look.

Once all the mushrooms were gone, Han Sen used his knife to dig around the wilted grass. He wanted to see what lay below.

"Do you guys know what kind of plant that is?" King Bai asked, looking at the Extreme King elites around him.

Everyone could tell that Han Sen's objective was to dig out something that lay below, but they all looked confused. None of them knew what the grass was.

Even the xenogeneic mushrooms Han Sen had killed were unknown to them. They had no clue what they were.

Many plants were oh-so-very weird, all across the geno universe, so it wasn't strange that none of King Bai's attendants could identify the mushrooms. Even deified elites were unable to recognize all the plants that they encountered.

But they were confused, too. They didn't know how Han Sen had known there were xenogeneic plants just lying around in that precise spot.

As Han Sen kept slicing and dicing, digging through the ground, he saw something purple appear below. At first, he was unable to tell what it was. But after digging for a while longer, he was able to identify it.

It was a big carrot. The skin was purple, and the root was two feet long. There was also a purple beard on it.

Han Sen dug out the giant carrot and gave it to Bao'er. He curiously asked, "Bao'er, since when have you enjoyed eating carrots?"

"Dad, even if we were at home, I'm pretty sure this thing would be called ginseng." Bao'er held the big carrot as she spoke to Han Sen.

"Ginseng?" Han Sen was shocked. That thing looked just like a carrot. How could ginseng be that large? And Han Sen remembered that ginseng looked yellowish. This thing was purple. It was a carrot, no matter what.

"Then treat it as a carrot." As Bao'er fondled the massive ginseng, she looked very happy. She looked at Han Sen and said, "Daddy, keep digging. I am sure you can find something else in there."

"There is something else?" Han Sen kept on digging.

The cameras only had video. Ice Blue Knight King and the others of the Extreme King were unable to hear what was being spoken. They watched as Han Sen dug up a big carrot and gave it to Bao'er to hold.

King Bai frowned. No one around him recognized what the big carrot was.

There were too many similar plants in the universe. If they weren't famous, there wasn't much of a chance of people remembering them. The purple carrot was the same as the mushrooms, in that it wasn't famous at all. No one had heard of them before.

Now, they were very curious about what Han Sen could dig out of the ground there.

Han Sen didn't know what he was about to dig up, either. He just used his Ghost Teeth Knife to keep digging. It looked as if there wasn't too much to be found. He dug another meter into the ground, but there didn't appear to be anything down there below the earth.

"Bao'er, are you sure there's something down here?" Han Sen looked at Bao'er with confusion.

"There should be." Bao'er was still holding the giant ginseng, sitting atop a rock.

Han Sen kept on digging. He dug three meters into the ground before he felt the tip of his knife strike something.

Because the hole was too deep, the camera's position wasn't right, and the Extreme King couldn't film whatever was inside the hole.

Ice Blue Knight King and the others of the Extreme King could only see Bao'er. She was sitting atop the hole with a carrot in her hand, with rocks and soil being flung out of the hole. But they couldn't see what was going on inside the pit.

If they were there, they could use many methods to see what was in the hole. But through video, no matter how smart they were, they couldn't tell what was going on below ground.

Han Sen felt something down there. He dug faster as he grew more excited. It wasn't long before he revealed what was down there.

Han Sen discovered that it was a shield. It looked like a tower shield. It was forged from purple metal, which was almost like some form of copper, but not quite. If he was honest with himself, he wasn't even sure if it was metal.

The inside of the shield was facing up, so Han Sen could see the handle. The styling of it was so old, and there weren't even any insignias on it. Han Sen grabbed the handle of the shield and lifted it.

"Why is it so heavy? But then again, judging by the weight, it has to be something good." The shield was so heavy that Han Sen was having trouble holding it up. Still, he managed to get it out.

Boom!

He had only just lifted the shield when, before he could see what was on the front of the shield, a purple light burst from the shield like a volcano. The light flashed up into the sky.

Han Sen was shocked. He raised his head and looked into the sky. In that purple light, there was a beautiful woman with a fantastic body and a snake tail.

Chapter 2505: Medusa's Gaze

A beam of purple light burst into the sky, and the shape of a beautiful woman appeared within it. Her lower body was scaled and serpentine, and her black hair was a bunch of snakes, as well. Her eyes were shut. She looked beautiful, elegant, cold, and creepy.

When Ice Blue Knight King and the Extreme King elites saw the snake-like woman in the beam of light and squinted to get a clearer look, they looked shocked.

"That Gana's silhouette, it looks so familiar…" Many of the Extreme King's deified elites had this sudden feeling.

But before they could get a better look at the woman, the shape within that light was gone. It just vanished from sight.

Han Sen's shield lost its light. Han Sen was confused, and so he flipped the shield over. He saw that the front of the shield was adorned with the image of the woman he had seen inside the beam of light.

The image depicted a human body mixed with a snake. Her eyes were shut, and her black hair was dancing; it looked as beautiful as it did weird.

"This looks like a good item. It must be a deified xenogeneic treasure." Han Sen was so happy. He hurried to pull the shield out of the hole.

After Han Sen pulled the shield up to ground level, many of the Extreme King elites saw the purple metal shield. Their eyes all opened wide, and they stared at it in disbelief.

Uncle Six whispered hoarsely, "That is the Gana's treasure, the Shield of the Medusa's Gaze… How is this possible? The Shield of the Medusa's Gaze was destroyed in a battle between the gods. Why is it here?"

"That white shadow, it was Medusa… Is the Shield of the Medusa's Gaze still here?"

"Holy sh*t! Why is the Shield of the Medusa's Gaze still around? And it is in one of the places operated by the Extreme King."

"Hurry! We have to get the Shield of the Medusa's Gaze back. We have to take him back with us to the Extreme King, no matter what." The Extreme King's simmering tempers were going to boil over.

"How do we take it? Only the Ice Blue Knights are in the vicinity. There are no deified elites around. Do you really think they can stop Han Sen?" someone said. And then, all the Extreme King elites stopped talking.

They looked at Han Sen's shield with intense expressions.

There was no other way for them to do this. They had to watch Han Sen merrily take the Shield of the Medusa's Gaze back to the white whale.

"Hurry… Tell the Fourth Uncle and Miss Mirror to hurry. We have to reclaim that shield."

"This is bad. How did that thing end up in the Ice Blue System? It was in our territory for all this time, and no one was able to find it? What have those Ice Blue Knights been doing all this time? This important item was beneath their noses for all these years, and now it suddenly gets stolen?"

"My King, I beg your permission to go to the systems of chaos. I will aid Fourth Uncle in killing Han Sen and claiming the shield."

"I am willing to go to the systems of chaos, too."

The systems of chaos were once a bad place that no one ever wished to go to, but now they were the place everyone wished to go to.

Han Sen didn't know anything about the shield, but he was certain it was a powerful item. He put the toxic mushrooms away, picked up Bao'er, and dragged the shield with him on the way back to the big white whale.

Han Sen had received what he wanted, so there was no point in waiting around for anything awry to occur.

Han Sen ran to the white whale as fast as he was able to. The pirates were sitting tight, guarding the white whale. The little red bird saw them coming, and so it flew over to escort their approach. It landed atop Bao'er's shoulder, hoping to nibble her big piece of ginseng.

"This is mine!" Bao'er hugged the ginseng tightly, keeping the little red bird from eating it.

Han Sen didn't spare any time for the drama between those two, and so he activated his white whale. He left the Ice Blue Systems and headed deeper into the systems of chaos.

Han Sen set the shield aside. It was too heavy for him to hold easily. He had only gone a short distance with it, and he was gasping already.

Upon seeing the shield that Han Sen had brought back, Fang Qing Yu was curious. Han Sen had only just gone out for a bit, and yet he had returned with an enormous shield.

When he looked at the shield more closely, though, he saw the image of a woman with half a human body and half a snake body. He gasped, "Medusa's Gaze!"

"Brother Fang, you know this shield?" Han Sen asked, looking at Fang Qing Yu.

"Is this… is this real? Is this really the Medusa's Gaze?" Fang Qing Yu's voice trembled as he stared at the shield.

"What about it is real or not? I just dug it up. I don't know. Do you know about this shield?" Han Sen asked again. Fang Qing Yu definitely seemed to know something about it.

Fang Qing Yu's shaking hands reached out to touch the shield. What he said sounded like nonsense. "I don't know… no, no… I'm not sure if this is the Medusa's Gaze. The legends say that it was destroyed…"

"What is this Medusa's Gaze?" Han Sen asked with confusion.

Fang Qing Yu looked at the shield with excitement. "Time keeps changing. Elites live and elites die. The same can be said about treasures. Some break, whereas others are created. They might be famous eventually, but in one day, under the gushing flow of history's river, they can be washed away. Some, however, glow and shine like diamonds beneath the rushing water of that river. They become legends. People will remember such items forever. Back in the day, the Gana Alpha used the Shield of the Medusa's Gaze and Purgatory Heaven. They were two deified treasures, and they made him invincible. With them, he lit up the geno hall's geno lantern. And it was through that act the Gana became one of the higher races."

"At that time, the Shield of the Medusa's Gaze and Purgatory Heaven, the two deified xenogeneic treasures, became super famous. That was especially true of the Medusa's Gaze. It can be considered one of the top-ten well-known deified items. The Gana Alpha used the Medusa's Gaze and Purgatory Heaven to assault the geno hall. After a few days of fighting, they were kicked out and made to fall. Then, Medusa's Gaze and Purgatory Heaven were lost."

As Fang Qing Yu spoke, he stroked the shield at the same time. "If this is really Medusa's Gaze, it will be one pricy artifact. This shield alone could buy out a whole higher race. After all, this is a deified item that assaulted the geno hall. But the legends say the Shield of the Medusa's Gaze and Purgatory Heaven were destroyed. I don't know the truth to this tale."

"An elite that entered the geno hall?" Han Sen was shocked.

Even Ancient Water God, who was almighty and powerful, was unable to breach the gate of the geno hall. The Gana, however, had assaulted the geno hall properly. And there, they fought for a few days. That was a scary thought.

"Come take a look. Let us determine if this truly is the Shield of the Medusa's Gaze." Han Sen was so happy. If that was a deified weapon from a battle waged between gods, it would be something truly amazing.

Han Sen already had Purgatory Heaven. If that was the Shield of the Medusa's Gaze, perhaps he would be able to learn much from the Gana Alpha. He might even be able to use the two deified weapons to assault the geno hall himself.

Chapter 2506: Encountering the Black Hole Spider Again

"I don't know… I have only heard about it. If this really is the Shield of the Medusa's Gaze, then her eyes ought to be able to open. The legends say that if she opens her eyes, even a god would cry. But it has been too long… Many people have heard the legend, but anyone who might have looked on the Shield of the Medusa's Gaze is probably dead by now. Only an immortal could confirm the validity of this thing. Even in the Thousand Treasures Alliance, I am afraid only a few elders might be able to confirm its identity," Fang Qing Yu said.

Han Sen frowned. If this was the Shield of the Medusa's Gaze, the Extreme King must have seen him retrieve it.

"Bao'er, come up and pilot the ship. Speed up and let's get moving." Han Sen turned the helm over to Bao'er and carried the shield to his room. He wanted to find out if the shield was useful.

It didn't matter if it was the Shield of the Medusa's Gaze or not. If he couldn't use it, then it was rubbish.

Han Sen gripped the shield in his hands and put his jade power into it. Or at least, he tried to. The power bounced away. He was unable to place Jadeskin's power into the shield.

Han Sen frowned. Next, he used the power of the Dongxuan Sutra, and he tried to put that into the shield. This time the power didn't bounce away. After the power of the Dongxuan Sutra entered the shield, the carving of the beautiful woman started to glow with a purple light. Light began to glow within her flickering eyes, and it appeared as if they were going to open.

But Han Sen's eyes widened. The shield was like a bottomless hole, and it consumed his power ravenously. In just a second, Han Sen's face was ghostly pale. His lifeforce had been drained, but the woman inside the shield still had her eyes closed. There was still some purple light around her face, but it didn't look as if the eyes were going to open.

Han Sen quickly pushed the shield away. If this kept going, he'd be nothing but a dried-up husk.

After Han Sen got rid of the shield, the light on the shield disappeared. It went back to looking old and slightly battered. It no longer showed any sign of activity.

"Even if this isn't the Shield of the Medusa's Gaze, it's still an awesome treasure. Even with my power, I cannot activate it." Han Sen was quite pleased with his find. He believed the shield had to be the Shield of the Medusa's Gaze.

But Han Sen was still a bit miffed about being unable to make use of it. He was too weak, and he knew he would have to try it while wearing the Peacock King soul robe.

Han Sen wasn't in the mood to try it at that moment, though. The legendary Shield of the Medusa's Gaze was too scary, and Han Sen knew he couldn't control its power properly. He was afraid that if he activated the shield, its power would destroy everything.

Han Sen tried putting the Shield of the Medusa's Gaze into Destiny's Tower. The Shield of the Medusa's Gaze was very heavy, but he managed to stick it into the tower without much difficulty. That would save him a lot of trouble.

Fang Qing Yu was still wondering if it was truly the Shield of the Medusa's Gaze. Han Sen wasn't really concerned about that. It would be a powerful item, as long as he was able to use it.

The white whale was still undergoing repairs, so it wasn't moving very fast. The Ice Blue Knights continued to tail the whale, and the whale could do nothing to shake them.

Ice Blue Knight King was in the ship that was following them. He stared at the white whale non-stop, every day.

There were no words to describe how conflicted Ice Blue Knight King's heart felt right then.

Han Sen had killed a prince and captured King Bai's favorite son, but none of that impacted Ice Blue Knight King personally. Han Sen had suddenly dug up the Shield of the Medusa's Gaze from a place belonging to the Ice Blue Knights, though. Ice Blue Knight King was unsure how he should be reacting to all this. What he knew was that he wished he had never met the guy.

Han Sen was like some demonic force hanging over his life. If God gave him another chance, Ice Blue Knight King would kill him back when he was still inside his mother's belly. That way, Han Sen would never have been able to harm others.

"The Shield of the Medusa's Gaze… The Shield of the Medusa's Gaze was hidden beneath my nose for years. And I…" Every time Ice Blue Knight King thought of this, his heart bled.

"Captain! Something has happened inside the white whale," a knight loudly shouted.

Ice Blue Knight King looked at the white whale through the video feed. He saw that the white whale looked a bit different. It was no longer a half-broken mess. Now its hull was sleek and smooth, like a living creature.

Right now, the white whale was glowing with a strange white light. He could see there were some waves around the white whale.

Before Ice Blue Knight King could react, the white whale swung its tail. It was like a fish swimming in the sea very quickly. It disappeared in a blink, and only the shockwaves of its wake remained.

The stalking Ice Blue Knights stared after it in shock. By the time they could react, the white whale was gone.

"Captain! What do we do? Should we give chase?" The commander looked at Ice Blue Knight King, who was still staring out into space.

"Go after it!" Ice Blue Knight King said, gritting his teeth.

"How do we pursue it?" The commander asked, looking uncertain.

"Go forward!" Ice Blue Knight King commanded glumly.

The recovery of the white whale had finished, so it could now go at full speed. There were still some parts of it that required fixing, but Han Sen couldn't wait any longer.

Han Sen didn't know when Meng Lie and the others might reach him. But the further away from the hounds they got, the safer they were bound to be.

Once they entered the deeper recesses of the systems of chaos, not even the Extreme King could control the situation. Even if Meng Lie was there, seeking Han Sen out wouldn't be easy.

In the systems of chaos, large groups of xenogeneics often traveled together. And there was a wide variety of sorts. Fortunately, Han Sen's group had the white whale. Normal space xenogeneics were unable to breach the hull of the white whale, and the ship's speed made it easy for Han Sen to slip past them.

When they encountered small xenogeneics, Han Sen would slow the white whale so he could kill the space xenogeneics and earn xenogeneic genes.

The pirates were able to kill many xenogeneics, too. They were all so happy about it. With the big white whale backing them up, they didn't have to be afraid of being surrounded. They were all able to kill so merrily.

Han Sen didn't want to kill Marquises and Dukes anymore, though. If the Pirates killed those, they could keep them. All he wanted were King class xenogeneics.

If they met a large horde of space xenogeneics, Han Sen would have to retreat. There were Galactic Shrimps out there, in shoals of billions. Encountering groups of that size would be extremely dangerous.

"Black Hole Spider!" The white whale moved into a system, and a giant spider attached to a planet suddenly came into view. It was like the whole system had been webbed by the giant creature.

Han Sen slowed the white whale down to keep from disturbing the spider. That scary deified creature was something that not even a normal deified elite would be willing to disturb. Han Sen did not want to touch it, either. He wanted to steer clear.

As the white whale was about to leave the system occupied by the Black Hole Spider, Han Sen suddenly saw the claws of the arachnid move. The creature turned its head to look at the white whale. The black hole-like eyeballs turned to stare at them.

Chapter 2507: Scary Space Deified Xenogeneic

This was bad. Han Sen shoved the white whale to full acceleration so they could get out of the Black Hole Spider's territory. The white whale's engine labored so hard that it released enormous clouds of smoke, but the white whale didn't go forward. It seemed to be being pulled back.

Han Sen looked behind them, and he saw the Black Hole Spider spreading its jaws. Its open mouth was like a giant black hole. It formed a vortex in space that sucked the white whale toward its gaping maw.

"We are going to die! Who is going to save me? I don't want to die… I'm a virgin… I still haven't gotten married…" Ning Yue sat on the floor, holding Bao'er and sobbing.

All the pirates were in shock. They had heard about the Black Hole Spider before. Even in the wild systems of chaos, the Black Hole Spider was the top of the food chain.

Han Sen pushed the white whale to the max, but the white whale was only being pulled back faster. The hull ground against the fabric of space as it was pulled backward, spawning a flurry of sparks.

Pang!

An unexpected asteroid suddenly slammed into the side of the white whale. The white whale began to spin.

Before Han Sen had time to think, the white whale fell completely into the grip of that black hole. It spun faster and faster inside the black hole, and other small objects slammed into the white whale. Each strike made a horrible sound. The pirates rolled across the floor like a bunch of gourds.

"I don't want to die!" Ning Yue was screaming with every breath.

Han Sen moved fast. He shifted his feet as the white whale rolled around. He kept himself balanced, using the Peacock King's soul robe. He was going to release a power of his own to get them out of that space vortex.

Bao'er was jumping nimbly around the command deck, still holding onto her big purple ginseng. That kind of shaking was unable to affect her balance.

Little red bird stood on her shoulder. It kept looking around.

Pang!

Seconds later, the white whale fell out of the space vortex. It landed on a black sea, and the big sea was in massive turmoil.

"What is this place? Why is there a sea?" Han Sen wondered. He kept looking around. That black sea was so big that it looked endless. Mist rose in all directions, so he couldn't see very far.

Batong! Batong!

Other things kept raining into that same sea. There were asteroids, plants, the wreckage of ships, and even some xenogeneics.

While Han Sen looked around in frozen silence, a planet even came down. It fell into the black sea, and the waves that rolled out from the impact sent the white whale flying. It kept rocked violently across the big waves, and it was some time before the ship stopped flipping.

Then, Han Sen saw something even scarier. As all of these objects fell into the black water, they started to melt.

"Are we… inside the Black Hole Spider's stomach?" Han Sen was looking at the mountain-like asteroids that appeared to be melting as he pondered the idea.

"Oh no! We are done for… We are being digested to become poopoo. I don't want to become poopoo." Ning Yue sat on the floor, crying.

"Don't worry. Our ship isn't being corroded." Han Sen observed the white whale's hull. The ship was like a deified creature itself, and so it wasn't dissolving under the corrosive power of the black water.

But Han Sen didn't know how long the white whale would last, so he also knew he had to get out of there as fast as he could.

But that Black Hole Spider was too big. It had captured the white whale merely by inhaling. Compared to the Black Hole Spider's size, the white whale was a tiny shred of meat.

Han Sen then realized that the Black Hole Spider hadn't actually been attacking them; they had simply picked a terrible time to try to travel through the system. They had encountered the Black Hole Spider just as it decided to eat lunch.

Based on what they could see through the mist, they knew that the spider had ingested countless asteroids and more than a few entire planets.

Han Sen regained control of the white whale and guided it up and out of the big black sea. That dark water was probably the stomach juices of the Black Hole Spider.

Han Sen drove the white whale, all the while dodging the falling asteroids. He wanted to get as high as possible. If this was the Black Hole Spider's stomach, he should have been able to get out via its esophagus.

After traveling through the mist for God knew how long, he was unable to see any more asteroids falling. But he still couldn't find the esophagus.

"Is this really the Black Hole Spider's stomach? It's too big. Are we in another dimension, perhaps?" Han Sen looked weirded-out as he spoke to himself.

"We are dead!" Ning Yue cried.

Fang Qing Yu had a wry smile, and he said, "If I have guessed things right, we are in the Black Hole Spider's body. And this is its stomach, or at least an organ that is similar to a stomach. The Black Hole Spider has space powers. It is deified, and its space powers extend through its body, as well. If we want to get out of here, we have to figure out the space powers locking this place down. If we don't, we aren't going to find a way out."

"How do we break the space powers here?" Han Sen asked as he glanced at Fang Qing Yu.

Fang Qing Yu smiled wryly again, and he said, "The only information I have on the Black Hole Spider is what I've seen in the Thousand Treasures Alliance's database. I can try to guess what we are going up against, but I won't be able to break whatever it is. I hope the white whale can last a while. Otherwise, we will all be digested very soon."

Han Sen didn't say anything. He peered into the mist with his Purple-Eye Butterfly, and he noticed that the mist was made of substance chains formed of a space substance. The power of those substance chains was twisting space into a closed loop with the creature's stomach. He would be unable to fly out through ordinary means.

But he had to try, even if it didn't work. None of them knew if the white whale could withstand the corrosive juices and mist for long. If they couldn't get out, they were dead.

Han Sen didn't turn on the white whale's weapon systems because using those weapon systems would pull valuable power away from the energy reactor. The white whale didn't have an infinite amount of energy available for use at all times. If he used all the available energy, he would be unable to fly.

"Little Red," Han Sen said to the little red bird.

The little red bird seemed to know what Han Sen wanted. It screamed and flew off of Bao'er's shoulder. It became a fire phoenix and flew out of the white whale. It spat fire at the mist.

The red flames turned the space substances and substance chains into dust. But when the space substance chains broke, faults opened in space. It made reality very unstable around them. The little red bird almost fell into the cracks, so he came back.

"So this is a space element deified xenogeneic." Han Sen looked gloomy. Space deified xenogeneics were scarier than he had believed.

Chapter 2508: Very Cute

For more than one hundred hours, Han Sen flew the white whale forward across an endless sea cloaked in mist. Still, he couldn't find an escape route.

The space powers within the creature's stomach were layered like a giant space maze. Through various space folds and faults, they couldn't find a way out.

The scariest thing was that the cracks in space could do serious damage to the hull of the white whale, leaving large scratches across it despite its incredible resilience.

Fortunately, Han Sen had his Dongxuan Area and the Purple-Eye Butterfly. He was able to avoid the space cracks. If he hadn't been able to, the white whale would have been torn apart, and they all would have died in short order.

Even so, Han Sen still had to face the crisis that had literally swallowed them. The silver lining in all this, however, was the fact that the white whale was repairing itself more quickly than the corrosion was eating it away.

Still, the ship's recovery processes cost material and energy. If the energy was depleted, then death was the only thing that awaited them. The ship and its crew were depressed. The uncertain fate left everyone feeling nervous. Aside from Bao'er, who was trying her best to make Ning Yue happy, none of the others could raise a smile.

Han Sen was under a lot of pressure to resolve this. He wasn't worried about his safety, as he could always hop back to the sanctuaries. But if he did that, Ning Yue and Fang Qing Yu would be left to die.

"Brother Fang, can you call the Treasure Identifier Elder? Can you see if he can help us?" Han Sen asked Fang Qing Yu hopefully.

Fang Qing Yu pulled out his Wanjie Rubix Cube. The Rubix cube's squares were all grey and lifeless. It wasn't picking up any signals.

"I tried already. The Wanjie Rubix Cube can't function in this place. The Wanjie Rubix Cube is a space treasure, but the Black Hole Spider is also a space xenogeneic. Their powers affect each other." Fang Qing Yu smiled ruefully.

Han Sen didn't say anything. He continued to guide the white whale forward. There was nothing he could do right now, so he would just have to wait and see what happened next.

The pirates seemed to be in shock. If it wasn't for Han Sen, whose lofty power they held in the highest esteem, they would have already had complete mental breakdowns. Without him, God knew what they would have done.

Ning Yue didn't require pressure to break. If Bao'er even teased her, that would get the waterworks flowing. She'd sob like a madwoman.

But in the eyes of the pirates, she was something else entirely.

They had watched Ning Yue become a man and kill someone terrifying. Ning Yue might be a vulnerable person that they could push around right now, but no one dared to do it. They didn't want to incite that slumbering wrath.

No one spoke, but all of a sudden, Han Sen saw a black shadow in the mist. He couldn't see what it was, but it seemed to be something very large on the black sea.

Han Sen frowned, but he drove the white whale toward it. Nothing could be worse than what they were currently going through. This might have been a worthwhile opportunity.

"What is this?" When the white whale drew closer to the shadow, some of the other crew members finally noticed it.

"Land… there is land!" When they were finally able to see what it was, they laughed in delighted relief.

An unbelievable scene appeared from the black sea. There was a large stretch of dark red land before them. Han Sen could see the crimson sea stacks and reefs surrounding it.

Even from afar, Han Sen could see some weird plants decorating the place.

These plants were the normal trees or grass or vines that one might expect to find on an island. Instead, they were some mushrooms in many different shapes and sizes.

The big mushrooms were like Ferris Wheels. Others were the size of a room. A few were as small as beans. The place was colorful, and they all looked very lovely.

Plus, many of the mushrooms glowed. They lit up the black mist and sea.

Han Sen and the others looked at that mushroom land as if they were staring at a fairytale come to life. They looked very surprised.

"If there is land, does that mean we aren't inside the stomach of the Black Hole Spider?" Ning Yue looked at the mushroom land, and happiness returned to drive away her tears.

Han Sen wasn't quite as cheery, though. He had seen many xenogeneic bodies that featured landmasses and palaces. The Black Hole Spider was so huge, having a landmass inside it was not too surprising.

No matter what, if that land had plants, then it was suitable for life. Plus, the mist didn't seem to obscure the mushroom land. That would at least keep the white whale's hull from being further corroded. This was a good thing.

As he flew the white whale to the land of mushrooms, Han Sen wasn't in a hurry to land. First, he flew around the mushroom landmass. As he circled it, his eyebrows furrowed.

The land of mushrooms was very pretty, and the mushrooms covered it in rainbows and splashes of color. But aside from the mushrooms, there was nothing else around.

There weren't any xenogeneics, and there weren't any other types of plants. There were only mushrooms.

From Han Sen's prior experiences, the prettier a mushroom was, the more poisonous it was. Those mushrooms were extraordinarily pretty, so he imagined they were also extremely deadly.

"What is that?" Fang Qing Yu asked, pointing at the forest of mushrooms.

Han Sen looked to where he was pointing, and he saw that inside the mushroom forest was a stone mountain. The stone mountain was very circular, and it was shaped something like a bun.

Next to the small mountain, a small ship was parked. It looked old and broken, so there was no way of knowing who it belonged to.

"Creatures are living here!" the pirates said excitedly.

Han Sen drove the white whale closer to the downed battleship. Before they got any nearer, though, a door opened and a creature climbed out.

When Han Sen saw the creature, he felt his eyes open wide.

He had seen many strange people in his time, but that creature that had just come out of the ship looked odd, even to him. The creature was snow-white, and its body was two meters tall. It was like an angry tiger, but there was a little pink mushroom glowing on its head. It made the tiger's angry face look rather cute.

"What a cute little tiger!" Ning Yue looked at the tiger and clutched her chest. Her eyes were full of stars.

The white tiger with the little pink mushroom on its head looked at the white whale in the sky. It opened its mouth, walked around, and then let loose a loud, "Meow!"

Han Sen and the others all swapped glances. Ning Yue, in particular, looked as if she was melting. She looked at the white tiger through the white whale's screen and passionately said, "It's so cute!"

Boom!

Before anyone could say anything more, the white tiger jumped, landing on the white whale's back. The white whale suddenly lurched. An enormous dent formed in the spine of the white whale, and it was pushed down into the canopy of mushrooms.

Chapter 2509: Mushroom

The white whale came down into the mushroom forest, and its crash landing sent many mushrooms flying. It finally slid to a stop when it came up against a line of mushrooms that were a few dozen meters tall.

But the mushrooms they did break, releasing a rainbow-colored mist. When Han Sen and the others looked closer, they could see a nearly infinite abundance of rainbow-colored spores forming the foggy veil.

The little red bird was angered. It flew straight out of the white whale's mouth and flared into its fire phoenix form. Its scary phoenix fire immediately turned the area into a burning hellscape. Many of the mushroom spores were burned to ash, and the white tiger that had assaulted them was surrounded in flames.

The white tiger jumped to escape the blazing inferno. It hovered in the air, opened its mouth, and fired cannonballs at the red phoenix.

As the cannonballs approached, Han Sen could see that they were actually mushrooms. The red phoenix opened its mouth and released another torrent of fire, which easily incinerated the incoming mushrooms. They combusted and exploded, and streams of spores erupted from them like fountains.

The explosions were beautiful, but within a second, the phoenix had reduced the mushrooms and their spores to dust.

The white tiger fired out many more mushrooms. Each of them was turned to ash by the little red bird. The white tiger started to look afraid of the little red bird's fire, and it started to believe it had incurred some fairly bad luck. The little red bird gave chase to the now-fleeing felon.

"Bird Brother, go get him! Bird Brother is strong." The pirates could see that the little red bird had gained an advantage. They were so happy for the little red bird, they all cheered loudly and gave the bird their support.

Some of the white tiger's fur was singed by the little red bird's fire. It kept meowing pitifully as it fled. Its white fur started to turn black in the heat, and it suddenly lowered its head toward the ground. Like a drill, it dug into the ground and disappeared someplace below.

The little red bird flew around the area, but it was unable to see the white tiger anymore. So, it flew back in a much happier mood.

The pirates quickly opened the door and welcomed the little red bird back inside.

"Brother Bird is so powerful… Brother Bird is like the best bird ever. That crappy tiger p*ssed itself when Brother Bird went out to greet it." The pirates said, trying to ingratiate themselves with the little bird.

The little red bird puffed up its chest to look big and cocky, like the big brother it was being revered as. It seemed as if the praise of the pirates had gone to the creature's head.

Upon seeing it, Han Sen shook his head. "Even a bird can't ignore sweet talk. The little red bird was once an innocent little thing, but now it has fallen."

The little red bird had been a nightmare for the white tiger. The crew needed the bird's protection, so no one dared to offend him. But when the bird flew back to Bao'er, it made sure to look polite. It didn't dare to act cocky around her.

Han Sen looked around. Aside from the white tiger, there were no other xenogeneics in the vicinity. The white tiger had been suppressed by the little red bird. So, for the time being, they were safe there.

If the white tiger had survived on the island, then they should be able to survive there as well. They would figure out how to escape later.

Fang Qing Yu and Ning Yue felt relieved. This place was strange, but it was better than the black sea. At least they weren't in any immediate risk of death.

"I wonder if those mushrooms can be eaten. They do look delicious."

"The better looking they are, the more poisonous they are."

"But we are high-class pirates. Why would we be afraid of poison?"

The pirates talked amongst themselves, but suddenly, one of them screamed. He sounded so scared, and he said, "Mush… mushroom…"

"What is so shocking about mushrooms? They are everywhere." Another pirate laughed, but everyone still looked at the pirate that had just screamed.

That pirate looked very shocked. His fingers shook as he pointed, and in a trembling voice, he said, "There's—there's a mushroom on your head."

"Whose leg are you trying to pull here? Why would my head have a mushroom on it?" The pirate didn't believe the claim. But when he touched his head to be sure, his face changed.

Han Sen and the others all looked at the pirate. His head had a mushroom. It was a white mushroom that looked like an egg.

"My… my head… has a mushroom…" That pirate touched his mushroom and screamed.

"What are you afraid of? Maybe Brother Bird accidentally dropped it onto your head," the ex-captain pirate shouted at the distressed pirate. He reached his hand out to pull and tug at the pirate's mushroom.

"Aah! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!" the pirate screamed in pain. The other pirate pulled harder at the mushroom, lifting the man's entire body, but the mushroom didn't come off.

The white mushroom on his head seemed to be attached to his scalp.

Han Sen frowned. He looked at everyone's head, and he was given a fright.

"You… your head has a mushroom, too… and you, as well… argh!" Everyone's head now had their own mushroom. The sizes and colors of each were all different.

Suddenly, aside from Bao'er and the little red bird, everyone's head had a mushroom.

Han Sen used his Dongxuan Area to look at the mushroom on his head. It was the size of a fist, and it was pitch-black. It was like a little umbrella. The mushroom cap was quite large, but the stalk was very thin.

The scariest thing about it was that the roots of the mushroom were inside his head. They were like vines, tangling around his brain.

Han Sen looked at Ning Yue and Fang Qing Yu. They both looked the same.

Ning Yue's head had a fat, pink-and-white capped mushroom. Fang Qing Yu's head had a rainbow polka-dot mushroom. The pirates all had different mushrooms, too.

But when Han Sen looked at them all with his Dongxuan Area, the mushrooms were attached to all of their brains.

"Argh! What the hell are these mushrooms?" A pirate tried cutting off his mushroom with a knife. He barely managed to pierce the skin of the mushroom, and even that was so painful that it had him rolling around on the floor.

"I don't want to be a Mushroom Man!" Ning Yue looked into a mirror. Seeing she had a mushroom, she couldn't help but weep.

Bao'er tried to bring her comfort by saying, "Little Miss Ning Yue, your mushroom looks quite nice. You could join a mushroom beauty contest for sure."

"I don't want to be a Mushroom Man! I don't want to join mushroom competitions!" Ning Yue cried.

Han Sen tried to pull his mushroom, and when he did, his expression changed. When the mushroom was moved, it was like he was tugging his brain. His will was strong, but it still felt incredibly painful. He almost screamed and his face turned all pale.

"Brother Fang, do you know what this is?" Han Sen asked Fang Qing Yu.

Fang Qing Yu's face turned white. He tried pulling his own mushroom, but he looked bitter. He shook his head and said, "I honestly don't know what this is. I've never seen anything like this before. There are many xenogeneic parasite mushrooms in this world, but their spores are always breathed into the lungs to enact their parasitic mischief. I've never heard of mushrooms attaching themselves to people's heads."

Chapter 2510: Thirty-seven Videos

Han Sen and the others all had weird mushrooms on their heads. The saprophytes had assimilated to become parts of their bodies. If the mushrooms were damaged, their brains would be injured as well.

They had no idea what to do. No one was able to think of a way to get rid of the mushrooms on their heads. They all looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

Fortunately, other than the mushrooms that sprouted on their heads, nothing else happened.

"Why did no mushrooms grow on Little Captain and the little red bird? Have they employed some sort of secret technique?" The pirates looked hopefully at Bao'er and the little red bird.

"Their bodies are special," Han Sen said simply. "They cannot be hosts to a parasite. They are not like us."

All hope vanished when Han Sen said that, and the pirates looked very sad. They kept looking at the mushrooms on their heads and sighed with dismay.

"Meow."

As everyone was wallowing in their depression, they heard a familiar sound from somewhere else on the island.

Far away, from deep within the mushroom forest, the white tiger looked at them with a rather cocky expression. Its face was surprisingly human, and it was cackling like an evil maniac. Its teeth were bared in a rictus grin, and it was laughing so hard that it seemed like it was about to cry.

Han Sen had never seen a tiger laugh in such an ugly manner before. If the tiger knew about the mushrooms on their heads, then it must have been responsible in some way.

The little red bird flew angrily toward the tiger again. But when the little red bird approached, the white tiger drilled back underground and fled. The little red bird's phoenix fire couldn't damage the ground. No one knew what that ground was made of.

Han Sen called the little red bird to return. They looked at the strange rocks all around them. The stone that made up the island was metallic but also like jade. No one could tell what sort of material the rocks were composed of.

"You guys go and collect some mushrooms. Let's see if we can eat them," Han Sen said to the pirates.

"Captain, there are already mushrooms on our heads. If we eat more, might they start growing all over our bodies?" one of the pirates pleaded through tears.

"Stop talking crap and just go!" Han Sen glared at them moodily.

The pirates shifted from foot to foot unwillingly. They were afraid that if they went out, their bodies might become the hosts of even more mushrooms. And they were also afraid that the white tiger might show up and kill them. They walked half a step away, and that was it. They didn't dare leave the safety of the white whale.

The little red bird spat some fire behind them, and they all jumped out of the white whale in sudden fear.

The pirates trembled with fear as they walked through the undergrowth of the mushroom realm. They didn't walk too far, though. They collected a few mushrooms, and Han Sen asked the cook to fry them up.

After the mushrooms were cooked, the pirates didn't dare eat them. They looked down at the fried mushrooms in their bowls, then they all just looked at each other. None of them dared to take the plunge.

"Why are you all frozen? Hurry up and eat." Han Sen smiled at the pirates.

"Captain, we aren't hungry… We really aren't hungry." Inside, the pirates were thinking to themselves, "Why aren't you eating, huh?"

"We don't know how long we're going to be stuck here. With our food reserves, we might not last very long. From now on, you guys are going to have to eat these mushrooms to survive. Even if you don't eat them today, there will come a time when you'll be forced to eat them or starve. But don't worry; these are just ordinary mushrooms. They won't kill you." Han Sen laughed.

Han Sen expected that they wouldn't be leaving that zone anytime soon.

"Captain, we aren't hungry just yet. Can we eat them when we grow hungry later?" a pirate asked quietly.

"What do you think?" Han Sen smiled at the man.

The pirates understood that they had no choice in the matter. Something might happen after they ate the mushrooms, though. Getting hurt or dying was only one possibility, but it was a strong possibility. And if they didn't eat the mushrooms now, Han Sen would likely deal with them personally.

The pirates gritted their teeth and picked up the mushroom slices. Trying to summon their bravery, they closed their eyes and put the mushrooms in their mouths.

In the beginning, they looked glum. But after chewing for a bit, they opened their eyes excitedly.

"Captain, this is so good! They are actually very fresh!" A short while later, one of the pirates exclaimed his delight. Nothing bad happened after they ate the mushrooms, either. No more mushrooms sprouted upon their bodies. There was just that one mushroom still attached to each of their heads.

"Slow down. Don't eat so quickly. I'm afraid you will be eating these mushrooms for a long time to come," Han Sen said sternly.

He already knew the mushrooms weren't poisonous. If he hadn't been certain that the mushrooms were harmless, he wouldn't have permitted the pirates to eat them.

The mushrooms on their heads hadn't appeared because of the mushrooms on the ground; they had come from the mushrooms that the white tiger had spat out. The spores inside of those mushroom attacks were the reason why Han Sen's crew had developed the mushrooms. It was obviously the white tiger's power, although Han Sen wasn't sure what eventual effects the mushrooms on their heads might have.

The white tiger kept appearing now and again. It would growl at Han Sen to try to provoke him. It was probably afraid of the little red bird because it didn't come near the white whale.

Han Sen left the white whale and went to the broken ship that the white tiger had exited from. That battleship was very old, and the interior was very rusted. The things that were made of wood were all covered in mushrooms.

Nothing else was alive on the ship. Han Sen discovered torn bits of clothing of some kind, and the battleship was broken pretty badly. Judging from the damage, it might very well have been the white tiger's work.

Han Sen went to the battleship's command deck. Fortunately, the black box wasn't completely destroyed. He brought it back to the white whale with him and tried to replay the video content.

It did not take long for Han Sen to be disappointed. Although the discs looked fine, they must have been electrified at some point, or maybe they just sat in that ship too long to be functional. None of the discs would play, and the white whale couldn't repair them.

Han Sen tried every single disc, but not a single one would work.

Han Sen had also found a very old communicator. He pulled out the memory card, and luckily, the white whale was able to read it. Han Sen was quite happy about this. He looked at the screen on the white whale and noticed that the card possessed thirty-seven video files. There was nothing else.

The video files were labeled, from one to thirty-seven. Those files were all connected and sequential. There were no spaces or missing files.

So, Han Sen opened the first video file. He watched it alone in his room. Whether the content was good or bad, but he didn't want the others to know he had found these yet.

"Mimi, come to Mama." As soon as Han Sen started the video, he heard a woman's voice. In the video, a white kitten was walking on shaky legs. Based on how unsteady it was, Han Sen assumed that it was a newborn.

And the location in the video was the old ship's command deck.

Clearly, the woman was the one holding the recorder to film the white cat. Upon hearing the woman's voice, Han Sen noticed how familiar it was. He had heard that voice somewhere.

Chapter 2511: Little White Cat

The little cat was only around the size of a man's hand. It looked very cute, and its legs were pink in color. The contrast between the pink fur of its legs and the white fur of its body was quite lovely.

The woman picked up the cat from the ground and placed it in her hands. Han Sen could see the woman's hands in the video. Her fingers were long and delicate, and her skin was flawless. Her hands were beautiful. She didn't have long nails or any adornments or accessories like rings.

She placed the little white cat inside a transparent container. Then she put on a pair of disposable gloves, the type commonly used for doing experiments, and brought out a needle. She injected an unknown fluid into the little white cat.

After receiving the injection, the little white cat quickly fell asleep. The video then remained trained on the sleeping cat. It was like the woman was just standing still, holding the camera steady.

But after a while had passed, Han Sen realized that the woman couldn't have been standing there all that time. She must have put the device in a corner and left it running.

Because nothing much was happening on the screen, Han Sen fast-forwarded through the video file. He noticed something shocking at the video sped forward. The sleeping white cat grew twice as big overnight. The video ended like that.

Han Sen opened the second video. The image seemed to be the same. He could see the little white cat inside the transparent container. But shortly after, the little white cat woke up, and the woman wearing disposable gloves reappeared. Once again, she gave the little white cat an injection.

The little white cat, who had just woken back up, was put to sleep again. The woman stroked the little creature's head and said in a soothing voice, "My good child. You must make it. Mama believes in you."

Injection… sleep… injection… sleep…

This process seemed to go on forever. And in this cycle, for seven days, the little white cat grew to the size of an adult tiger.

As it grew larger, the little white cat began to look more and more familiar.

"Is that actually the white tiger outside?" Han Sen wondered. Honestly, though, he was not too surprised by the revelation.

And then, the cycle continued. The little white cat didn't spend much time awake. For most of the video, it slept under the influence of the injections.

But its body was continuing to grow. It was now much larger than the mushroom-headed white tiger that inhabited this island.

On the twenty-third day, the woman discovered that the little white cat had a small and delicate mushroom on its head. Although the mushroom was just the size of a bean, the woman was surprised and said, "Kid, you made it."

After that day, the white cat and the mushroom continued to grow bigger and bigger. The woman's tests also continued.

On the thirty-seventh day, the white cat had become a mammoth-like beast. The container was no longer big enough to contain it. While it slept, she opened the container and stood next to the giant white cat's head. It was like she was taking a selfie. She filmed herself and the little white cat together.

This was the first time Han Sen had seen the woman's face. Previously, he had only heard her voice and seen her hands and arms.

When he saw the woman's face, he couldn't help but scream, "Is that her?"

The woman in the video was wearing a white lab coat. She had a ponytail, and she was wearing black glasses. She was the woman that had been trapped in Two World Mountain. But she seemed to be a very different person here than she had been when Han Sen met her. She was softer here, although compared to the average person, her personality would still seem distant and reserved.

"Is that her ship? Has she been here before? How did she get out?" Han Sen thought excitedly.

If that woman had come here and managed to escape, then he should be able to get out, too. But Han Sen didn't know how the woman had managed to get out.

And Han Sen was a little confused about why the woman hadn't taken her guinea pig with her when she left.

Han Sen needed to find answers to the questions that the video had raised, but the videos came to an end there. He had watched the last one. The final video ended with her and the little white cat sharing a selfie.

"D*mn it! Couldn't you have filmed a little more?" Han Sen thought in frustration. But at least he had found out that escape from this realm was possible. So that was good news, at least.

Han Sen watched the video to the end, but he didn't learn anything else. The video just filmed the white cat, and the camera remained in a fixed position. Aside from the selfie at the end, it was almost all filmed from the same angle.

"Captain! This is so bad… Captain! Something is climbing up the island!" a pirate shouted as he knocked on Han Sen's door.

Han Sen switched off the video, exited his room, and went straight to the command deck. There, he saw that creatures were emerging from the black sea. They were like black snakes. They were as thick as barrels, and their heads were serpentine. Their mouths were oddly squarish when they opened, but they possessed many fangs. They looked very scary.

"There are living creatures in the black sea?" Han Sen was shocked. The corrosive powers of the black sea had been beyond even the deified white whale's ability to withstand. It was hard to imagine how such creatures could survive in that sea.

When those weird snakes emerged, they started to eat the mushrooms on the land.

Although there were many mushrooms, there were many black snakes, too. It wasn't long before they had eaten a few acres' worth of mushrooms.

"Meow!" came a sharp cry. The white tiger swooped in from the sky, slashing with its claws. The bodies of numerous snakes were ripped apart.

The injured snakes bled a black juice, but their broken bodies still tried to bring down the white tiger.

The white tiger slammed its paws down to squish the heads of the snakes into jelly.

The white tiger didn't seem to possess area attacks, but its power and speed were very impressive. Its abilities seemed to be deified.

The white tiger shifted, and it suddenly became a group of white tigers that descended on the horde of weird snakes.

Han Sen knew from the white tiger's speed that these were not doppelgangers. The tiger was simply moving so quickly that it was leaving behind afterimages. His vision couldn't follow the speed at which the creature went.

Everywhere the white tiger went, black heads were torn from serpentine bodies. A few minutes later, the ground was littered with the broken bodies of a few hundred weird snakes. The surviving snakes returned to the depths of the black sea.

The dead black snakes rotted very quickly. They dissolved into black juices on the ground. Most of them slowly trickled back to the black sea, whereas others dried up on land.

After all the weird black snakes returned to the black sea, the white tiger roared at the sea, then turned around and went back to the mushroom forest.

Chapter 2512: Going to the Core Area Again

The old battleship was the only piece of technology that Han Sen could find on the island. All other landmarks were completely natural formations.

Han Sen and the others couldn't really leave the white whale. Now and again, hordes of black snakes would emerge from the black sea to chow down on the mushrooms. But every time that happened, the white tiger beat them back.

Han Sen made many attempts to get rid of the mushrooms that were on each of their heads. All his efforts were in vain. Even if they managed to withstand the pain long enough to cut off the mushrooms, the roots were still embedded within their brains. It was only a matter of time before they grew back.

And the newly-grown mushrooms would be more colorful than ever. It made them want to cry.

Han Sen used his Original Water King Body, and as his body turned into liquid, the mushroom on his head lost its grip and fell to the floor.

The mushroom died quickly, and for a moment, Han Sen thought he was free. However, it wasn't long before another mushroom grew atop his head.

Although the new mushroom looked the same as the old one, some instinct told Han Sen that it was actually different.

When Han Sen got rid of his mushroom, he quickly entered the core area. While he was in the core area, the mushrooms did not plague him. But if he left the core area, a new mushroom would immediately rise from his head.

Fortunately, aside from looking incredibly strange, the mushrooms didn't seem to be harmful. They merely sat quietly atop the heads of Han Sen and his crew.

Meanwhile, Han Sen took the white whale back into the air to find a way out. But after making a few loops of the area, he would always end up returning to the familiar land of mushrooms.

The space faults and folds were too complicated, and they changed and morphed constantly. Unless the Black Hole Spider was killed and its space power disappeared, getting out of the beast's stomach was an unachievable dream.

The pirates had gotten used to eating the mushrooms of the land by now. The mushrooms tasted reasonably good, but the pirates still got tired of eating them before too long. At least the different-looking mushrooms had different textures. That made the experience somewhat tolerable. And eating the different types of fungus was better than drinking tasteless nutrient solutions all the time.

Han Sen and Bao'er never ate those mushrooms, though. Bao'er kept the big ginseng with her at all times. She nibbled at it constantly. Still, despite the amount of time it had been in her possession, she had only managed to gnaw off its tip.

Han Sen didn't eat much. He spent most of the time consuming King class genes.

The Extreme King elites like Meng Lie were still searching for Han Sen in the systems of chaos. They were about to go mad as they circled through the same dangerous systems time after time, but no matter what they did, they were unable to find Han Sen. That made them very depressed.

Han Sen still had both the Shield of the Medusa's Gaze and Bai Wuchang. The Extreme King used every method at their disposal to try to locate Han Sen, but all of their efforts were fruitless. Han Sen and the others had completely disappeared, or so it felt like. No one could know for sure if he was dead or alive.

Han Sen summoned his Dongxuan Armor and entered the core area. Since he couldn't find a way to leave the mushroom kingdom, he could hunt King class xenogeneics in the core area to max out his King genes.

Han Sen entered the core area, but before he could find anything to kill, Dia Robber and Dragon One were heading toward him. Han Sen was surprised.

"Dollar, can we talk?" Dia Robber said.

"Sure," Han Sen said casually.

"We want to slay a deified core xenogeneic. Are you interested?" Dragon One came up to ask.

"I'm interested, but what benefits would I receive if I was to help you slay this deified xenogeneic? You probably wouldn't give me the body of the deified xenogeneic, am I correct?" Han Sen said.

Dragon One and Dia Robber looked at each other. Dia Robber said, "The deified xenogeneic's body would be the primary component for the crafting of deified treasures. We would need it. We're asking you to help us because we require the body. But if you are willing to help, we can discuss a price and shares of the profits. You can have anything, as long as it isn't the deified xenogeneic's flesh."

Han Sen tapped his lip in thought. "I suppose I'd be okay with hunting a deified xenogeneic without receiving its flesh. But I would like one thousand King class core xenogeneic genes in exchange."

If Han Sen went after King class xenogeneics alone, simply finding them would take a long time. The fact that he could kill them easily would matter little. King class xenogeneics weren't terribly common, and finding vast numbers of them would be difficult. God knew how long it would take him to get one thousand King class core genes alone.

Han Sen didn't need just one thousand King class genes. If he wanted to max out the nine tiers of four different geno arts, he needed at least three thousand.

And he didn't know if he would need more xenogeneic King class genes once his ninth tier reverted back to one. If so, he would require even more.

Rather than spending a few years to gather the genes he needed himself, this could be an opportunity to earn big. He could level up his areas fast this way, and become half-deified in no time.

"One thousand King class xenogeneic core genes? Isn't that a bit too much to ask for?" Dragon One and Dia Robber looked glum.

That meant they had to kill one thousand King class xenogeneics. They didn't know if they could even find that many xenogeneic Kings, let alone kill them all.

Even though the core area had many King class xenogeneics, one thousand of them was too much to ask for. With their strength, finding that many might take a few years.

"If you guys want me to support you in a deified battle, then give me something else of equal value and I might consider it." Han Sen's face didn't change.

"We asked you because we require your power, but one thousand King class core xenogeneic genes is simply too much. We cannot get that many out to give you, all of a sudden," Dragon One said.

"You guys consider it, then. I have given you my price. If you think it is too much, then go and find someone else." Han Sen didn't cut them any slack.

Dragon One and Dia Robber hesitated for a moment. Although Dollar looked very strong, he was just King class. Even if they got him to join their party, they might still fail to kill the deified they were after. So, they would have to find someone else. That offer was asking too much of them, without the guarantee of success. Anyone would hesitate before striking such a bargain.

While they were talking, a man rode up to them atop a golden lion.

"If the two of you are considering spending one thousand King class core genes to hire him, why don't you just hire us? We are the Royal Knights. You can hire us for the same price, and we can guarantee the kill. If we fail, we will reimburse you. You two trust the reputation of the Royal Knights, don't you?"

Han Sen looked back. It was the Extreme King's crown prince, Wan Jie.

"Brother Dollar, can we discuss the price some more?" Instead of answering Prince Wan Jie, Dragon One remained focused on Dollar.

"I won't go any lower. You can pay me five hundred first and the other five hundred after my task is done. If I fail to kill it, I still keep the first five hundred. Consider it a down payment for the effort I put into the attempt," Han Sen said.

Dragon One and Dia Robber talked quietly amongst themselves, then Dia Robber said, "Okay Dollar, we will hire you to help us. Please come to our base so we can talk."

Han Sen and Bai Wan Jie were shocked. They couldn't believe at the same price, with Bai Wan Jie guaranteeing the kill, Dragon One and Dia Robber still selected Han Sen.

Chapter 2513: Gold Armor General

Bai Wan Jie thought about it for a moment. He seemed to realize why Dragon One and Dia Robber hadn't hired the Royal Knights.

Bai Wan Jie looked at Han Sen, smiled, and said, "I recommend you think about it before you take on this job. Otherwise, you might die without even realizing what happened."

Han Sen was also wondering why Dragon One and Dia Robber had selected him over the Extreme King crown prince and the Royal Knights. Han Sen couldn't understand what his would-be employers were thinking.

Seeing Han Sen worry over their decision, Dia Robber said, "Dear Dollar, please don't misunderstand. We mean no harm to you. We haven't hired the crown prince because he wouldn't accept our offer even if we were to hire him."

Han Sen looked at Bai Wan Jie. The man laughed and said, "If you guys are really going to go after Gold Armor General, then you are correct. I wouldn't dare take on this task. That isn't a matter of business; anyone who takes on the Gold Armor General has a death wish. The Extreme King have many King class elites, but we cannot just send them to their demise."

"Right. We are going to kill the Gold Armor General." Dragon One looked at Han Sen and went on to say, "Gold Armor General is a very scary being. He is one of the top deified core xenogeneics in the core area. Although we have made extensive preparations, our chances of success are still low. Are you still willing to accept this quest?"

"Well, you wouldn't be hiring me if the success rate was high." Han Sen smirked slightly.

Upon hearing his answer, Dragon One and Dia Robber laughed happily. Clearly, Han Sen was accepting their deal.

Bai Wan Jie's face didn't change, and he said, "My friends, I'm afraid you have no idea what Gold Armor General truly is. Although the xenogeneic deifieds of the core area are weaker, they still have substance chains. They are like cripples compared to the deified xenogeneics of the outside world, but even so, these creatures are not something a King or a half-deified being can challenge. You especially cannot challenge a deified core xenogeneic. Their powers are far beyond yours. That Gold Armor General is one such being. Once upon a time, someone gathered up twenty half-deifieds to hunt him down. In the end, almost half of the team was killed. Are you sure you want to invest so much in this attempt?"

After that, Bai Wan Jie looked directly at Dia Robber and Dragon One, and said, "If you guys really want to kill the Gold Armor General, the Extreme King can actually accept this job. But the price has to be measured differently. If you guys are still interested, perhaps we can find a place to discuss this."

"The crown prince is confident in his ability to take down the Gold Armor General?" Dragon One and Dia Robber's bodies were shaking. They couldn't believe what they were hearing, and so they stared at Bai Wan Jie.

Bai Wan Jie looked confident, and he smiled. "If we royal knights are unable to slay the Gold Armor General, I can assure you that no one else in the core area can kill it. Why don't you guys think about this?"

Dragon One and Dia Robber looked conflicted. Although they were well-prepared, they still lacked confidence in their abilities to take down the Gold Armor General. If they had been confident, they wouldn't have hired Han Sen.

But seeing Bai Wan Jie's self-assurance, they knew that he must have some way to kill Ghost Armor General. If they didn't hire Bai Wan Jie, he would probably hire others to kill it.

If they did hire Bai Wan Jie, given the arrogance of the Extreme King, he would probably demand far more than one thousand King class core genes. They were pretty sure the crown prince would want the Gold Armor General's xenogeneic gene as well.

Dragon One and Dia Robber glanced at each other, then turned back to Han Sen. "Brother Dollar, now that you understand, are you still willing to accept our request?"

"As long as you pay the agreed-upon price, then yes," Han Sen said simply.

He didn't have to guarantee that he would kill the proposed enemy. All he had to do was ensure that he would try his best. Even if he was unable to kill their target, he would be receiving five hundred King class xenogeneic genes.

With Han Sen's power, it didn't matter how strong the Gold Armor General was. Han Sen's life wouldn't be in danger. Plus, Han Sen knew that the core area's deified xenogeneics were weaker than the ones in the outside world.

"In that case, please come to our base for a more in-depth discussion." Dragon One and Dia Robber said goodbye to Bai Wan Jie. Then, they left with Han Sen.

"Dragon One and Dia Robber have some kind of plan, do they? They really can't expect Dollar to kill the Gold Armor General, right?" Seeing the three of them leave, Bai Wan Jie frowned.

Han Sen followed Dragon One and Dia Robber to their base. When he reached the case that the Dragon and the Destroyed were sharing, he could tell that they really were co-operating.

Dia Robber and Dragon One signed a contract with Han Sen, and then they read the details out to Han Sen.

Originally, Gold Armor General's system had been home to multiple Armor General deified xenogeneics. Steel, Bronze, and Silver Armor Generals had lived there as well, and all three of them had been deified. But those three deified xenogeneics had been slain by the attacks of other races. The Dragons themselves had killed Steel Armor General and Silver Armor General.

They had paid a heavy price to kill those deifieds. That was especially true when it came to killing the Steel Armor General. They had lost many King class Dragons, and they had been forced to hire many half-deifieds of different races too. While they succeeded in killing Steel Armor General, it had been very expensive.

But for the Dragon, it was all worth it.

After they earned the xenogeneic genes of the Silver Armor General and the Steel Armor General, they discovered something shocking. The xenogeneic genes of the two deifieds could work in conjunction, which led to some surprising developments.

After this discovery, the Dragons spent a lot of time and power to find and gain control of the Bronze Armor General's xenogeneic gene. Once they brought that third item into their treasury, they were only missing the Gold Armor General.

Many attempts had been made to bring down the Gold Armor General, and not just by the Dragons. Other races had attempted to kill the Gold Armor General, but they all failed. Steel, Bronze, Silver; each general had been stronger than the last. The Gold Armor General's power was very close to the power of a real xenogeneic deified of the outside world. It had very scary defensive properties, and so it had proven extremely difficult to kill.

The other races had essentially given up, but the Dragons didn't want to throw in the towel. Without the Gold Armor General's xenogeneic gene, the genes of the three other generals were an incomplete set. It lowered the value of their collection.

So, the Dragons wanted to kill the Gold Armor General. They had spent a long time preparing for this offensive, and they had a plan to take down the Gold Armor General. Still, they knew their chances of success were low. But when Dragon One found Han Sen, he realized the plan might work. That was why he wanted to do this.

Dia Robber had agreed to help the Dragons because he had xenogeneics of his own that he couldn't kill. He needed the power of the Dragons, and this was a fine chance to see the full extent of Han Sen's abilities.

If Han Sen could help the Dragons slay the Gold Armor General, then Dia Robber would also hire him to help slay xenogeneics in the future.

Chapter 2514: Dragon Tooth Dagger

Bai Wan Jie hadn't expected that Dragon One and the others would make a serious effort to kill Gold Armor General. But based on what he had just learned, it seemed that Dragon One and Dia Robber really intended to take on Gold Armor General.

"My Prince, Dragon One and Dia Robber didn't seem to be joking. I think they're actually planning to fight Gold Armor General. Should we prepare? Should we steal the kill before they arrive?" Nightmare Knight asked Bai Wan Jie.

"We need to prepare, but there's no rush. Just let them go ahead if they want to. Do they really think that this Dollar, who came out of nowhere, can truly help them defeat Gold Armor General? How naive." Bai Wan Jie laughed and went on to say, "Even if I wanted to take down Gold Armor General, I'm afraid I would have to request Yu Shanxin's aid, which would be expensive. I would also need to rally every half-deified at my disposal if I was to have any hope of defeating Gold Armor General. Dragon One and Dia Robber are too weak."

After pausing, Bai Wan Jie laughed and said, "Let's let them go ahead. When they are beaten, we can resume the fight in their place. It will save us a lot of work. Why don't we do that? Let's find out when they are going to attack the beast. Then, we'll know when we can tune in to watch the show."

"Yes. I will make preparations," Nightmare Knight said as he left.

In the base of the Dragons and the Destroyed, Dragon One and Dia Robber explained their plan for taking on Gold Armor General to Han Sen.

"With our power, we should be able to restrict the Gold Armor General for two to three seconds. During that time, we need you to use this dagger to stab the Gold Armor General's eyes. You will not have much time, and you only have one dagger. It is crucial that you get close to him during this window of opportunity and blind both of his eyes. If you fail in this task, all our efforts will have been in vain. Can you do this?" Dragon One asked very seriously, passing a snow-white dagger to Han Sen.

"Why do I have to blind his eyes?" Han Sen accepted the dagger and ran his fingers curiously over it.

"Gold Armor General's body is encased in gold armor," Dragon One explained. "Its defense is too hard for us to penetrate. Even a top dog half-deified couldn't pierce that monster's armor, so it will be difficult to damage. The Gold Armor General's weakness is its eyes, where it lacks the protection of the gold armor. The eyes are only protected by crystals. Even so, ordinary half-deifieds cannot break them. The only way to break through the crystal that shields the eyes is if a half-deified wields the deified Dragon Tattoo Tooth Dagger, a Dragon treasure."

After pausing, Dragon One continued speaking. "According to those who hunted Steel Armor General and Silver Armor General, they are deified beings, but their senses aren't too strong. They depend solely on their eyes. If its vision is destroyed, Gold Armor General won't be as dangerous as we fear. Plus, once the eyes are destroyed, we can continue attacking the wounds and kill the fiend easily."

"That means you have another weapon to kill him?" Han Sen asked, looking at the Dragon Tattoo Tooth Dagger.

The dagger was snow-white. It glistened like jade, and both sides of the dagger were engraved with the shape of an icy dragon. The engraving was beautifully detailed.

While Han Sen held the dagger, he felt cold. He could feel the soul of an undying dragon roaring within the weapon.

Although it wasn't one of the universe's top deified treasures, the Dragon Tattoo Tooth Dagger suited Han Sen. Using it wouldn't require much strength, as the dagger was sharp enough to tear through space.

"Yes, the dagger will only be enough to injure Gold Armor General's eyes. It isn't strong enough to kill the creature. We are prepared for that, but your mission is to take out his eyes. You only need to complete this objective. Whether or not we manage to kill Gold Armor General in the end, you will receive your one thousand xenogeneic genes just for blinding the creature," Dragon One said.

"Sure. Let's do that, then," Han Sen said while putting away the dagger.

"Ahem, Brother Dollar. You can hold onto the dagger for now, but this thing is a treasure of the Dragon. You cannot take it too far away from us," Dragon One said with a cough.

"Until I kill the Gold Armor General, I'm not going anywhere," Han Sen said.

"Thank you for understanding, Dollar. There is something you must remember, also. You must use this dagger to strike the eyes. Skills like swordlights will not be effective on the eyes of this being," Dragon One said.

"Sure. I will keep that in mind." Han Sen nodded absently, spinning the dragon tooth dagger around his hands in intricate arcs.

Han Sen didn't have to practice when it came to killing creatures. Any weapon could serve the purpose. This time, he was hunting a deified creature, though. It might be weaker than outside deifieds, but he knew that was no excuse to be sloppy. He couldn't risk recklessness, and so, Han Sen knew he would have to get himself in tip-top shape.

Of course, he wasn't just doing this for the one thousand King-class xenogeneic genes that were on the line. He wanted to test his mettle and see if he could kill the deified xenogeneic to earn its beast soul.

Xenogeneic treasures were great, but for the people who came from the sanctuaries, beast souls were even better.

Han Sen kept his promise and didn't leave the base. He stayed there and spent each day practicing with the dragon tooth dagger. Dragon One was pleased to see this. No matter how he saw it, Dollar was very respectful of the job he had signed up for.

Dragon Three approached Dragon One and joined him in watching Han Sen. They remained silent for a while as Han Sen practiced.

"Brother, do you think this Dollar will succeed? He needs to get close to the Gold Armor General in a short amount of time and blind him. So far, not even an Extreme King half-deified has managed to do something like that. And Dollar is still King class… Brother, if you need me to, I can ask Yu Shanxin to help out. With him here, our chances of success would be much higher."

Dragon One shook his head. "Hiring Yu Shanxin wouldn't be that easy. Even if the Extreme King sought to hire him, they would have to pay a high price. That sort of cost would be considerable to the Extreme King, and we have far fewer resources."

After that, Dragon One's eyes drifted over to Han Sen, who was still practicing. His expression became strangely distant, and he said, "Dollar might be the next Yu Shanxin. Perhaps even stronger."

Dragon Three looked at Dragon One with shock. He turned back and stared at the practicing man. There was no trace of humor in Dragon One's tone.

Dragon One was comparing Dollar to the great Yu Shanxin, and he was even suggesting that Dollar might be stronger. That was an incredible compliment from someone like Dragon One.

Who was Yu Shanxin? He was the scariest half-deified in the universe, and it was a fact admitted by everyone. Not even the Extreme King had a single half-deified on par with Yu Shanxin.

Dragon One himself wasn't equal to Yu Shanxin. If he could say something like this with certainty, he was also admitting himself to be inferior to Dollar. It was hard to imagine the proud Dragon One making that sort of admission.

Seeing the stunned expression on Dragon Three's face, Dragon One laughed. "I'm just saying he might be stronger than Yu Shanxin when he levels up. He isn't that strong right now. But we cannot hire Yu Shanxin, and so, we must settle for him."
