Chapter 337: Blood Sea Sunken Ship Mini‑World!

Purple Magnolia.

World Gate Barrier Floating Island, a cluster of high towers.

Ta Ke followed the silver‑armored witch, marching onward.

From time to time, the captain and others of passing standard squads of transcendent warriors also greeted the witch before them.

Most of these standard squads were led by sixth‑tier transcendent leaders, with fourth‑ and fifth‑tier transcendants as squad members.

Ta Ke, walking behind, silently examined and gathered numerous pieces of information about this Purple Magnolia transcendent world.

As he walked, Ta Ke had already determined.

This Purple Magnolia transcendent world should be a medium‑large transcendent world, and moreover a complete, unified transcendent world.

Compared with the Aogu Twin Stars transcendent world and other medium‑small worlds that have been split into two parts, its strength is far greater.

Judging by the vastness of the world's essence.

The "Purple Magnolia Transcendent World" is roughly five to six times the size of the "Aogu Twin Stars Transcendent World."

At the same time.

The progress of the steam sequence here is clearly far more advanced than that of the Aogu Twin Stars transcendent world.

This "World Gate Void Floating Island" resembles a massive transcendent city‑state, astonishing in scale, with many steam towers of three, four, and five rings, and a multitude of transcendants.

Moreover, the armored standard transcendants encountered on the road were not surprised by Ta Ke, a "foreign wizard."

Obviously, this transcendent world has many contacts with the outside.

Foreign wizards have long become commonplace.

Even so, Ta Ke vaguely sensed the aura of a Chao Shen Da Shi.

But Ta Ke dared not probe further.

After all!

That is a Chao Shen Da Shi.

Although Ta Ke has deep foundations, in terms of rank he is only a sixth‑tier wizard.

"Wizard sir, this is your temporary residence."

The silver‑armored sixth‑tier female wizard stopped with Ta Ke in front of a brown small tower.

It was this silver‑armored witch who previously examined Ta Ke's soul.

"At present, the foreign shark‑insect tribe is advancing aggressively; wizard sir, you may rest here for a while. When the time comes, some missions will be arranged, and information regarding the Blood Sea Ancient Ruins Sunken Ship Site will be conveyed as well."

"During this period, should a large‑scale attack by the foreign shark‑insects occur, please counterattack on your own, wizard sir."

Listening to the witch's explanation, Ta Ke's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Placing me atop this tower, have you successfully activated an automatic‑attack 'Wizard Tower' for you?"

"The shade beneath this great tree is not easy to take advantage of."

"If you wish to receive this world's protection, you must contribute to it. After all… I am not a wizard cultivated by this world; they have no obligation to protect me."

"In a sense, the conscripted me is merely a sixth‑tier wizard."

"In the divine war, I am just consumable material, at most a slightly higher‑grade consumable."

"Compared with the leader before us, an elite‑advanced sixth‑tier female wizard, I am not much different; here, I am even inferior to her."

"The transcendent world outside truly feels real!"

Ta Ke pondered silently.

The sixth‑tier silver‑armored female wizard's peripheral glance occasionally flicked toward the void's depths.

There!

A distinctly crimson flame was raging.

Near the world barrier, one can see the flame deep in the void; on one hand, transcendants possess naturally powerful vision.

On the other hand, the scale of the void's deep combustion is indeed astonishing.

"Wizard sir, do you know who released that flame?"

The witch narrowed her distant gaze and asked Ta Ke.

After a moment of scrutiny, Ta Ke shook his head.

"This time, the foreign shark‑insects cut off the star routes; many of us fleeing companions are numerous, and there are quite a few powerful casters among them. I do not know exactly who did it."

Not receiving an answer, the witch showed little reaction to Ta Ke's reply.

She then reminded Ta Ke of some matters before turning and leaving.

Ta Ke turned and entered the small tower about twenty meters tall.

When the witch departed and the surroundings gradually quieted down,

Ta Ke only then reached the top floor's open window without glass.

He examined the continuously burning flame deep in the void, showing no sign of extinguishing.

A moment later, Ta Ke couldn't help rubbing his brow.

"This movement… seems a bit large!"

Previously, Ta Ke had massively released dragon‑breath fire‑oil merely to attract those foreign shark‑insects and the insect‑king priest, giving himself a chance to flee.

But the shark‑insects pursuing him seemed too many.

And the divine flame's scorching power was extremely strong; mere contact could ignite.

This fire, once spread, seemed to burn especially fiercely.

Of course, the cooperation of those foreign shark‑insects was also indispensable.

"This divine flame, combined with dragon‑breath and fire‑oil, yields an effect of 111 far greater than 3."

Ta Ke was deep in thought.

Many sorcery methods need to be combined and verified through actual combat.

This round, Ta Ke seems to have verified the feasibility of powerful group attack methods.

"Currently, my Undying Flame Heart has over 1,300 fragments."

"Although it's already quite a lot, talent fragments are obviously the more the better."

"I remember that the Blood Sea Ancient Ruins Sunken Ship Site, which is much larger than a major Chao Shen world, apparently has furnace-core tree stumps serving as the fire source."

"After reaching the Blood Sea Ancient Ruins Sunken Ship Site, I can completely anchor those large furnace-core tree stumps to harvest Flame Hearts, allowing my Flame Divine Ability fragments to continue increasing."

"At 2,000 fragments there will be a nice qualitative change; reaching 5,000 fragments will bring deeper progress."

"It is said that many Chao Shen Da Shi find it difficult to deal with insect tides."

"Strengthening the Flame Divine Ability's unquenchable burning characteristic, even breaking its limit, allows it to improve further."

"In this way, I am completely unafraid of large-scale group attack battles."

In the information data Ta Ke collected about the A Lu Mo Fu Half-God World.

【Blood Sea Ancient Ruins Sunken Ship Site】

It is said to be the wreckage of a 'world-class' warship from the ancient civilization of the primordial Chaos Continent.

A warship comparable to a major Chao Shen world.

Moreover, the suppressed region is a vast expanse of the Nether Blood Sea.

And this is also the origin of the Blood Sea Ancient Ruins Sunken Ship Site.

Nowadays, it is a sunken ship site comparable to a major Chao Shen world.

It is a 'battle zone' controlled by the A Lu Mo Fu Half-God World.

Moreover, it is the same battle zone where Mo Lei·Shen Ting is located.

Many powerful high-level Chao Shen practitioners, even Chao Shen Da Shi, will go there to explore, fight, and slaughter.

The fact that Chao Shen Da Shi explore resources there shows its value.

What a treasure trove the Blood Sea Ancient Ruins Sunken Ship Site is!

Although the Blood Sea Ancient Ruins Sunken Ship Site is dangerous, it has long been a stable development area chosen by Ta Ke.

I just didn't expect it.

After the interrupted journey entered the Ziluolan Chao Shen World.

Here there actually is a teleportation array that can directly enter the Blood Sea Ancient Ruins Sunken Ship Site.

You should know that from the Blood Sea Ancient Ruins Sunken Ship Site, one can directly teleport to the A Lu Mo Fu Half-God World.

This Ziyulan Chao Shen World is equivalent to a shortcut.

But wanting to take this shortcut probably won't be that simple.

Moreover, now that the divine war has erupted, even going to the A Lu Mo Fu Half-God World will see one assigned various war tasks.

Compared to the higher power level and more intense confrontation of the A Lu Mo Fu Half-God World.

Perhaps, the Ziyulan Chao Shen World where Ta Ke currently resides is actually safer.

Firelight flickered constantly in the depths of the void, reflecting deep into Ta Ke's pupils.

And as large numbers of exotic domain shark insects died in the distance.

Ta Ke, feeling the black demon ring staff on his wrist, curled the corners of his mouth into a slight smile.

Ta Ke could clearly feel the source energy experience gained by the Legendary Demon Ring Staff through slaughter rapidly increasing.

In fact.

After Ta Ke set fire on a large scale in the void.

All along this path, the growth of source energy experience within the Legendary Demon Ring Staff has never ceased.

At the same time.

Ta Ke himself is also obtaining considerable source energy experience through the deaths of those exotic domain shark insects.

Flame Demon Hetara, a demonic creature from the abyss, can innately obtain source energy experience through slaughter and hunting.

And the Legendary Demon Ring Staff was forged with this as its core.

It itself requires obtaining source energy experience through slaughter to upgrade.

Before, Ta Ke on the Ao Gu Shuangxing Eastern Continent had slain not a few Chao Shen practitioners using the Legendary Demon Ring Staff.

It was also precisely the frenzied slaughter on the Eastern Continent.

This allowed Ta Ke to accumulate the rich source energy experience needed for the Legendary Demon Ring Staff to advance to the sixth rank.

During Ta Ke's secluded cultivation, in several instances of Legendary forging.

Ta Ke continually used his accumulated Legendary traits to nurture and forge the Legendary Demon Ring Staff, upgrading it to the sixth rank.

Nowadays, the gradually forming Demon Legendary Ring Staff already possesses some Legendary effects.

At this time, the specific effect manifests as: Ta Ke can obtain a certain amount of source energy experience by slaughtering with the demon ring staff.

Whether it is the Feedback trait, the Hunting trait, or simply the Slaughter trait.

Ta Ke is still uncertain about the ultimate direction, as all three trait effects are currently present.

The Legendary effect of Legendary equipment needs to be determined through continual use during its growth to decide its final form.

But nowadays, Ta Ke can obtain source energy experience by slaughtering with the Legendary Demon Ring Staff, which is an indisputable fact.

Although the amount of source energy obtained each time is not much, on a large scale it becomes quite considerable.

And as Ta Ke continually cultivates this Demon Legendary Ring Staff.

After the first Legendary effect is solidified, subsequent second and third Legendary effects will continue to appear one after another.

This is also why Legendary equipment is stronger than ordinary Chao Shen equipment and ring-type equipment.

"Legendary Demon Ring Staff, having this slaughter-reaping characteristic, for me means battle is not without gain."

Even…… defending against a large-scale attack of foreign domain shark insects, for me the gains would be quite good.

In the midst of war, many transcendent beings will, by wearing transcendent equipment with the 【Hunting】 trait and the 【Slaughter】 trait, obtain more experience source energy.

And this is precisely the key reason why many transcendent beings can rise quickly in the midst of war.

War, to a certain extent, is the catalyst that gives birth to the strong.

In his thoughts, Ta Ke's gaze swept over the surroundings, faintly.

Around here, it seems there are not a few foreign domain transcendent beings similar to me.

The Zi Yu Lan transcendent world has long been in an open state; having a certain number of foreign domain transcendent beings is also normal.

Just as Ta Ke was pondering.

A knight wearing light armor walked over from a distance.

After the light-armored knight lingered nearby Ta Ke for a moment, it walked straight toward the tower where Ta Ke was, and then 'Bang bang bang' knocked on Ta Ke's tower room door.

Ta Ke saw clearly that it was not a normal knight but a puppet knight controlled by a certain 'Transcendent Puppet Master'.

After knocking on the door,

The knight puppet then stood motionless at Ta Ke's door.

It seemed it would not move until Ta Ke opened the door for it.

After a moment of thought, a sixth-rank soul curtain shadow broke free from the shadows behind Ta Ke and walked downward.

With a 'Squeak!', the soul curtain shadow opened the door.

'Puppet Master Sir, what is the matter?'

The soul curtain shadow asked in a soft voice, using the common language of the Three-Eyed God·Holy Spirit Empire.

The knight puppet scrutinized the soul curtain shadow before it for a moment, then spoke in a cold tone.

'Coming from a foreign domain sorcerer, if you want to earn rich military merits, even to cultivate in the fragmentary small world outside the 【Blood Sea Ancient Relic Shipwreck Site】, you can go to that side's shadow tower, which is the tallest one there.'

'Currently, there is a very important war mission that requires you, sixth-rank transcendent beings like you, to carry out.'

'This mission is extremely dangerous; you are very likely to lose your life because of it, but of course, once completed, the reward will also be very generous.'

'If you do not have sufficient strength, there is no need to take part; long-term garrison here would be more suitable for you.'

'Of course, if you have no interest in the 【Blood Sea Ancient Relic Shipwreck Site】, just pretend I didn't say anything.'

The puppet master controlling the knight behind him was quite straightforward.

Ta Ke pondered a moment and asked.

'May I ask what the specific mission is?'

When Ta Ke asked that, the operator behind the knight puppet paused, then carefully examined the soul curtain shadow before it.

'Exterminate the foreign domain shark insects in an entire small world; the highest level of those foreign domain shark insects is only sixth-rank, although there are a few seventh-rank ones, but not many.'

'But the ordinary foreign domain shark insects may be somewhat more numerous.'

'Your companions are also all sixth-rank transcendent beings, numbering at most thirty-odd people.'

Thirty-odd people, to oppose an entire small world's foreign domain shark insects?

Under normal circumstances, the difficulty of this mission is beyond doubt.

But for Ta Ke at this moment, hearing this, it sounds quite good.

'Then what about the specific reward?'

Ta Ke asked again.

Meanwhile, the puppet master behind this sixth-rank knight puppet also seemed to notice that this sorcerer before him had a few tricks.

He then became serious.

'You can exchange for a piece of seventh-rank crown material at will from the war supplies tower.'

'At the same time, you will also have the qualification to cultivate for a long time in the fragmentary small world.'

'If you garrison for a long time and please Lord Luomosi, Lord Luomosi might also guide your cultivation.'

It sounds like this Lord called Luomosi is probably the Chao Shen Da Shi.

The guidance of the Chao Shen Da Shi is not of much use to Ta Ke.

As for the qualification to cultivate in the fragmentary small world, Ta Ke had never heard anyone package 'free labor' so freshly and unconventionally before.

After a moment of thought, Ta Ke spoke:

'I don't need the qualification to cultivate for a long time in the fragmentary small world; I want to obtain the qualification for direct transmission to the safe zone of the 【Blood Sea Ancient Relic Shipwreck Site】. Is that possible?'

'Huh?'

Haroldo was still seeing for the first time a sixth-rank sorcerer who bargains before finishing the task.

'This sorcerer probably doesn't even know what foreign domain shark insects in a world entail!'

'However, speaking of which, this foreign domain sorcerer looks like he has decent strength.'

After a moment of thought, Haroldo then spoke along the puppet's line: 'If you truly achieve great merit in this counteroffensive campaign, to Lord Luomosi that is merely a matter of a single sentence.'

Although the other party only gave a rough agreement and did not give an exact answer.

However, this so-called mission is beneficial to Ta Ke himself.

Moreover, one can obtain seventh-rank crown material.

Ta Ke naturally would not easily miss it.

'If that's the case, then I will accept this task of clearing the small world.'

Seeing the foreign domain sorcerer agree, Haroldo immediately nodded, hastily agreed on a rough time and place with the other party, and then Haroldo put his mind at ease.

'The sorcerer excels at group attacks, and moreover is a foreign domain visitor, even having fought his way in from a large-scale encirclement outside.'

'Although there is a certain luck factor, the strength is still beyond doubt.'

'If it weren't for that damned world gate that only allows sixth-rank transcendent beings to pass, gathering personnel wouldn't have been so troublesome.'

Now the great war is upon us; the insect race, through that void wormhole, continuously reinforces its troops.

If we cannot use these 【Shipwreck Fragment Small World】 as springboards and outposts to quickly open the battlefield and exterminate their living forces…

When their great army advances and devours the supernatural world, then it will become troublesome.

I don't know whether this wave of gathered top‑tier sixth‑order supernatural beings' squad can seize the 【Blood Sea Ancient Relic Shipwreck Site】's Shipwreck Fragment Small World.

Harold, whose brows were quickly knitting together, muttered softly.
