Chapter 817: Colorful

~11 min read 2,101 words

After being grabbed by the hand by Wei Zhangle, the Six Dragon Sword awoke from complete oblivion and immediately remembered his mission, as well as why he was here, but was then choked by his request, saying: "Nonsense, what business is it of yours? Stay put and behave!"

His expression and voice were not hidden at all, yet no one was puzzled by his sudden outburst; when he was pulled by Wei Zhangle, that terrible state called Disappearance swept over him, causing him to be ignored by the crowd as well.

Wei Zhangle said sternly: "I think this is an opportunity. If you all can defeat the enemy, then so be it; if not, perhaps it is the chance to prove that our plan is effective. This time I will help everyone get out of trouble, letting everyone know that we can create miracles with just a sword."

The "everyone" he spoke of also included the Great Heavenly Demon; the group had been arguing about whether to hide the plan from the Great Heavenly Demon if it were feasible. The final conclusion was that there was no need to hide it. Although the Great Heavenly Demon had prepared for that Great Ship for many years and had always accused the Humans of riding a donkey to look for a horse, perfunctorily dealing with the plan, and refusing to give their all for the Relic Project, if there really were a plan to save everyone, how could the Great Heavenly Demon not seize it? No one wants to die.

At that time, the cost of activating the Changjie Sword Technique would also have to be partially borne by the Great Heavenly Demon, for the same reason as the "unfairness" the Great Heavenly Demon always shouted about: I spent so much energy and paid so many costs, and you want to hitch a free ride without doing anything? You wish!

The Six Dragon Sword understood instantly and felt slightly moved, but immediately said: "What about the cost? The cost for you to activate the Sword Technique once is not small, and the consumption of the Changjie Sword Technique is even more cumbersome. If the only precious opportunity is wasted here, wouldn't that ruin the big picture?"

Changle tilted his head slightly and smiled: "Although it may be my arrogance, how can this mere ship compare to the real world? If it is just a small test, it won't cost much. I can do it immediately."

It was rare for him to be so confident. The Six Dragon Sword was astonished, and a touch of relief welled up in his heart. He grabbed his hand and said: "Good, you come up with me. But after going up, you are not allowed to act rashly. Deciding to use your power is a major matter; even I cannot act on my own authority and must report it to the Xun Sword."

At this moment, several Light Beams hung down from the very top, enveloping the few people who were about to go out. Wei Zhangle hurriedly applied Restraint to his Sword Technique, otherwise the Six Dragon Sword would have almost not been taken care of by the Light Beams.

The next instant, all the combatants were transferred out.

It was a transfer, a spatial transfer!

But after the Six Dragon Sword pointed it out, he also noticed the difference in that water bubble.

It was an extremely small target, about the size of half a person, completely inconspicuous compared to that behemoth. It was located right in the middle of that giant object, its body a translucent circle, clinging tightly to the giant object like a blister that had been scalded.

The Six Dragon Sword had already transferred hundreds of feet away in an instant. Outside the cabin, he was finally able to see the full picture of the attacker.

In the middle of this water bubble, there were still things trembling in clumps, like some kind of organ tissue. That life reaction, like a heartbeat, was very real, making one immediately lean toward the idea that this was some kind of living creature. Then he saw several faint tentacles under the water bubble, already embedded in the body of the giant object, with only two transparent tentacles still swaying in the Void, as if directing.

"Hahaha..."

This kind of cabin-exit device is essentially an escape device. If one is surrounded outside, wouldn't just ejecting or being pulled out along some trajectory be walking right into a trap? Therefore, this kind of Light Beam is used for spatial transfer. Transferring to a distance of ten feet to several miles nearby at least ensures that one can leave the cabin alive at a certain moment; as for how long one can live after leaving the cabin, that is naturally not something the ship can manage.

In the cabin, the object everyone saw was a pitch-black Shadow, but from the outside, it was actually colorful, with colors piled up to the point of dizziness. The surrounding gray-white Void was like a sheet of drawing paper, and this massive object was like a three-year-old child's unreasonable graffiti on the paper.

It is unclear whether it is the main body of some kind of creature, or just a tangible driving device?

But there really were no other existences that looked more like creatures around, so it seems this guy can only be the main body.

What he used for communication was not language, but a kind of Spirit vibration, conveying the meaning he wanted to express by containing it in emotions, ensuring that the other party could understand the meaning even if the language was different.

Changle instantly thought of those Beast Charmers who could control Fierce Beasts. Compared to the Phantom, this water bubble was undoubtedly more bizarre, like some kind of parasitic creature.

Is this... a manipulator?

A large opening like a mouth split open in its front, clamping the ship from top and bottom. The part attached to the cabin was wriggling, and the whole body was wriggling along with it, seemingly trying to swallow the cabin with all its might. Except for this mouth, no other organ resembling facial features could be distinguished on it from top to bottom, only a body like a mass of paste.

The entire cabin had been covered by a huge object, and that object looked a bit like... some kind of massive creature?

The appearance of that creature could by no means be linked to any creature they were familiar with, and it could not even achieve the most basic bilateral symmetry. The reason it could still be imagined as a creature was because its action of surrounding the cabin looked very much like it was biting with its mouth.

"Who are you..." The High Priest still decided to strike up a conversation to determine if the other party was an enemy attacking with a purpose, or some kind of monster that had existed in the Void all along.

Although this giant object was eye-catching enough, the gazes of all the experts who came out quickly shifted to one target.

Changle did not notice at first. As soon as he came out, he tried hard to maintain his own safety. Although he was enveloped by the Sword Light of the Six Dragon Sword, his strength was ultimately insufficient, and he still had to tread on thin ice in the Void.

Another burst of laughter, followed by a wave of Spirit ripples sweeping in all directions.

The reason it was confirmed that there should be a wise existence outside was because of the loud laughter that first entered the cabin; that kind of laughter undoubtedly contained emotions. It must have been emitted by a sufficiently high-level intelligent life form.

Changle hurriedly kept standing still, with most of his Sword Essence used to protect his body, and the sword was a Spirit barrier, helping him block most of the attacks from the Spirit waves.

After everyone resisted the Spirit fluctuations, they heard the information contained within them.

"One, two..."

That was the sound of counting.

"Come ten people. You are very courageous,"

One cannot hear the tone or mood from Spirit vibrations, but everyone heard the mockery and frivolity within them.

"You ten are all Warriors, daring to come and face me; I will reward you!"

Actually, there were eleven people.

Even this kind of bizarre guy, who likely had special senses to observe things in detail, still could not discover Wei Zhangle.

"I want to keep the lives of half of you, five people! I want to let five people go back and tell the people there, stop making meaningless struggles; what is wrong with becoming my imperial body? You can become a part of me, embrace a higher world, and make your lives more meaningful!"

The Great Heavenly Demon High Priest and the Xun Sword looked at each other across the air, understanding each other's meaning: let's do it, such a madman cannot be talked to.

The world that the other side was coming from not only had consciousness, but was also full of madmen; this was really not good news.

The Sword Dao of the Xun Sword was "Wind," the fastest in speed, and the attack arrived in an instant.

However, the one who moved first was that water bubble!

At a certain moment, there was a short, crisp "clack" sound, and a giant object like a claw suddenly stretched out from the Void, pinching a Great Heavenly Demon.

This grab pinched the Great Heavenly Demon King entirely in its hand, letting him emit only a short "cough"-like sound before there was no more sound.

That giant hand instantly retracted into the Void, disappearing along with the Great Heavenly Demon. It was unclear whether they were dragged back into the Void together, or directly turned into ashes.

"The first one!"

Following the other party's count, a Sword Immortal-level Great Heavenly Demon disappeared forever just like that.

Wei Zhangle only felt his scalp go numb. He couldn't see the origin of that move at all just now, which meant that if he were the one facing that attack, he would have no power to resist.

He possessed rich experience in survival struggles and behind-enemy-lines fighting, yet he had no experience in head-on confrontation, and his sword did not support him in head-on combat. Therefore, even though he had made up his mind to go to the battlefield, seeing such a situation still made him feel suffocated, feel fear, and feel regret in his heart—regret that he shouldn't have been trying to be brave.

As he felt this regret, his Sword Heart fluctuated. Those Sword Immortals were still unaware, but the Xun Sword, who was quite close to him, suddenly tilted his head slightly and swept a glance toward this side, not knowing whether he had noticed or not.

This moment did not just make Wei Zhangle feel cold in his heart; everyone felt a shock at that instant, even the Humans here felt a sense of grief for their own kind. But they had all walked step by step to this point, and instead of retreating, they became angry in the face of danger and pressed forward.

Almost in an instant, powerful energy erupted from everyone's bodies, and the Momentum of the nine people was like nine Lamps, nine torches, burning fiercely together. The two strongest Sword Saints naturally burned the most intensely, but the remaining Sword Immortals also absolutely possessed their own inextinguishable Momentum.

On that side, the Great Heavenly Demon acted in unison, while on this side, the Sword Saint made a gesture, and the four Sword Immortals stepped forward without hesitation. The Six Dragon Sword pointed his sword, and six golden five-clawed divine dragons soared in the Void behind him, dyeing the gray-white space gold.

The Six Dragon Carriage, the vehicle of Xihe, travels carrying the sun.

At this time, the six dragons rushed out first to clear the way for him, and he followed behind, pulled by the dragons. He was not some Six Dragon Carriage, nor did he use the six dragons to represent the sun; he himself was the sun.

The four Sword Pillars of the Sun Domain were all suns!

The moment he rushed out, he looked back one last time and exhorted: "Changle, retreat, you must not take risks! You are the final bottom line, more important than any of us!" Then he rushed up.

The others turned a deaf ear to his shout, but the Xun Sword finally changed its expression.
