Chapter 383: Level 120 Legendary Ring Staff!

Boom—...

As the light pillar, like a scorching torrent, slowly dissipated.

The divine projection's power also gradually faded in the air, and the steam that had been expanded over the surrounding tens of kilometers collapsed inward, gathering toward the center.

The whole world, shaken by the deity, slowly awoke from its silence.

Even the distant Flame World Tree, whose flames had been suppressed, now burst forth in brilliant splendor.

In the Heroic Spirit Altar area, Ta Ke watched the deity depart, standing still, deep in thought.

"So deities also haggle! And they're quite skilled at it!"

Ta Ke's offer of ten Steam Insect Tribe units did not satisfy the demigod A Lu Mo Fu.

A Lu Mo Fu's satisfactory quantity was fifty.

"You really dare to speak up! And do you really have that many Steam Insect Queens? They're not easy to catch!" Ta Ke muttered to himself.

The deity's appetite was larger than Ta Ke had imagined.

But Ta Ke adopted a hardline stance, saying, "Creating such an ecosystem would severely drain my primordial foundation; ten is already my limit—one more and I'd die instantly!" and haggled with the deity.

The deity countered, "Fifty insect ecologies are the cornerstone of victory; lacking even one would let the enemy seize the fruits of war, and we cannot bear the painful cost of defeat," engaging Ta Ke in multiple confrontations.

After a round of bargaining,

the final agreement was that Ta Ke must create twenty Master-level Insect Ecological Nests along with Steam Circulation Structures.

Ten of them must be completed as soon as possible.

The remaining ten are to be built during the war, according to specific needs.

The deity will provide Ta Ke with projection strategic assistance in the Four Tusks Elephant Realm Ship area.

It must ensure that Ta Ke can repel attacks from legendary strongmen and other deities' projection threats.

"Actually, the demigod A Lu Mo Fu is quite easy to talk to."

Just as Ta Ke was pondering, the legendary Heroic Spirit Mentor Mo Erman on the altar slowly spoke.

"After all, these deities were once human heroes who rose step by step; protecting humanity has always been their duty."

"Since he promised you, he will certainly safeguard your safety."

Ta Ke nodded.

"I understand, teacher!"

"Also, there are some more important matters I'll explain first."

With Mo Erman saying that,

Ta Ke immediately looked on carefully.

"According to our informants,"

"The three legendary strongmen at the Blood Sea Ruins Sunken Ship site have already planned to develop the Four Tusks Elephant Realm Ship and the Purple Jade Orchid Supernatural World as the next large-scale battlefield."

"They are currently preparing for war."

"In as little as a year and a half, up to three to five years, they will launch a massive assault on you."

"Although the Compartment Realm is inaccessible to Chao Shen Da Shi-level masters, their power can launch a large-scale siege on the world's barriers from outside the vessel."

"Moreover, those insects can gnaw and bite your vessel."

"Prolonged war and constant erosion could very likely deal a devastating blow to your vessel."

Ta Ke thought for a moment before carefully nodding.

"Thank you for the reminder, teacher. During this period I'll accelerate the construction of the Compartment Realm's Steam Crystal Wall, establishing the Steam Crystal Wall system as quickly as possible, which will better resist enemy attacks."

"Steam Crystal Wall?"

Mo Erman's eyebrows twitched slightly at the mention.

He had never heard of such a creative Steam Crystal Wall before.

However, Ta Ke is already an expert on steam, a creator who merges steam ecology with other ecologies, and seems intent on forging an entirely new steam world.

Creatively pioneering a "Steam Crystal Wall" is not impossible.

"Since you can develop this defensive measure, that's excellent."

"Nevertheless, be cautious; if you face a strong opponent's attack, you must seek aid promptly."

Mo Erman advised.

"Now is wartime; only if the entire deity nation unites can we withstand the enemy's massive assault."

"Even deities are like that, let alone a small quasi-master like you."

"Yes! Teacher!"

Ta Ke nodded carefully.

When it comes to seeking aid, Ta Ke never wavers.

As the deity's arrival turmoil gradually drew to a close,

it became known that the enemy would not launch a large-scale attack for the time being.

Ta Ke accelerated his Chao Shen Da Shi seed cultivation on one hand.

On the other hand, he reinforced the construction of the world's ecology.

At the entrance of the second and third layer Compartment Realm passages, Ta Ke can hold the crucial chokepoint.

Thus the lower layers—the fourth and even the fifth—will naturally be opened on a large scale.

As the ecological cycle of the third-layer Compartment Realm is opened,

after the cycle of twelve Compartment Realm ecologies with the Old Steam Constellation ecology,

vast amounts of steam, like seawater, continuously flood each Compartment Realm.

Ta Ke's previously built crucial core—Old Steam Constellation!

Translation...

We must not add extra lines.

After all lines, output a names list:

Nowadays, it has also become the source of the steam core for the Four-Tusk Elephant World Ship.

Previously, Taku had already issued an order to command the Steam Shark Bug Empress to advance to the fourth layer.

Furthermore, coordinating with the Steam Spirit Wendi's control over steam.

On the fourth layer of the World Ship, the lower half is filled with the Blood Sea, while the upper half, constructed by Wendi, forms a large-scale steam ecology circulation.

The twelve chambers of the fourth layer were likewise constructed by Taku into a Steam Star Altar, pioneering the Steam Star Ecology.

A large number of Steam Shark Bugs that feed on the Blood Sea were constructed and brought into existence.

At the same time, these Steam Shark Bugs devour the power of the Blood Sea, releasing massive steam source energy.

Converting the power of the Blood Sea into the power of the steam ecology.

Meanwhile.

Under Taku's direction.

Wendi and the Steam Shark Bug Empress joined forces to launch the Steam Crystal Wall plan.

Although the plan is simple, it is extraordinarily grand.

To enable the steam ecology and the crystal wall ecology to complete a massive internal-external unified cycle.

To give vast amounts of steam the properties of a crystal wall.

Then, continuously precipitate 'Steam Crystal Wall' outside the World Ship.

To clothe the entire Four-Tusk Elephant World Ship in a thick layer of Steam Crystal Wall.

Possessing a Steam Crystal Wall.

First, it can isolate large amounts of enemy attacks; even various long-range attacks will be blocked by the Steam Crystal Wall, preventing them from directly damaging the main body of the Steam World Ship.

Second, the Steam Shark Bugs can fight the enemy within the Steam Crystal Wall, keeping the enemy at bay.

After constructing such an ecological cycle.

This is equivalent to adding an extra set of ecological defense equipment to the chamber ecology.

The Steam Spirit Wendi only needs to promote the operation of the steam ecology.

The entire massive crystal wall ecology will then operate naturally and automatically.

This is the benefit of ecology.

It inherently possesses internal drive.

The creator only needs to pioneer and push; thereafter, the effects will cause the entire massive ecology to operate on its own and spread out.

Whether it is the fourth layer's 'Blood Sea Digestion Ecology'.

or the chamber's 'Steam Crystal Wall Ecology'.

As the ecology plan unfolds.

The entire World Ship's steam ecology begins to operate at high speed.

It seems the World Ship's primal will also sensed that steam power could free it from the mire of the Blood Sea, allowing it to break free from the decline of the 【Sunken Ship】.

The primal will also gradually became one of the driving forces.

The era of great steam expansion blossomed with a thunderous boom on the Four-Tusk Elephant World Ship.

The potential of large-scale steam ecology is continually being released.

The most crucial aspect is the 'Steam Core,' a crystallized product of steam ecology operation.

It is growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

From four or five per day, it gradually increased to seven or eight, then to twelve to fifteen.

As the Steam Crystal Wall ecology was expanded, the daily output of Steam Cores had already reached thirty per day.

This made Taku unable to help but marvel at how abundant the resources reaped from mastering and deeply operating the development of a world are.

Besides the Steam Core, chaotic blood crystal and various strategic resources are also continuously produced in this treasure trove of the Four-Tusk Elephant World Ship.

When Taku was carrying out large-scale steam ecology development.

Taku received a contact message from his mentor Moerman.

Subsequently, Taku used a spacetime wormhole to reach the depths of the void.

He met with the two Chao Shen Da Shi sent by the demigod Alumof.

The two Chao Shen Da Shi brought an ultra-large Miracle Hut.

Inside the Miracle Hut is a space as huge as a mountain.

Originally, Taku had planned to construct a Miracle Hut space as huge as a mountain.

He could build an ancient forest cabin on the mountain, raise some sheep, demons, giant dragons, and so on down below.

As it turned out, those ancient transcendent beings had long held the same idea and had already put it into practice.

Within the massive steam Miracle Hut ecology brought by these two Chao Shen Da Shi, there are numerous steam towers.

And guarding those many steam towers is a master-level Insect Empress.

After Taku briefly observed, he managed to connect the ecology nest of the master-level Insect Empress with the barrier of the steam ecology.

Having gained this first cooperative experience.

In the subsequent ongoing time.

Taku continually linked the steam ecology brought by the Chao Shen Da Shi with the insect ecology's barriers, constructing a brand-new Steam Insect Ecology.

There are Steam Shark Bugs, Mechanical Demon Bugs, Strange-Wing Demon Bugs, and Fallen Bone Bugs.

Each kind of peculiar alien insect broadened Taku's horizons.

It is said that these peculiar insect ecologies were cultivated by the evil alien deity, the Giant Nest Pillar God.

In the resource exchanges with the Zi Yulan Transcendent World, as well as in the transactions with the Alumof deity.

Over two years, nearly three years of time flew by in a flash.

…………

Purple Jade Orchid Supernatural World.

The spacious palace corridor.

Ta Ke and Luo Mo Si walked side by side.

"Your rate of progress is becoming more and more astonishing."

"When you came over to trade a year and a half ago, I could still sense the aura of your master seed up close."

"Now, we're this close, and I can no longer sense your master seed's aura."

"Your level has also reached 99; you wouldn't have completed the master seed binding and be about to fall, would you?"

As they walked forward, Luo Mo Si sighed to himself.

"How could it be that fast?"

Ta Ke shook his head.

"At least another two or three years are needed for the master seed binding to be completed."

"Two or three years is already fast; it looks like I'll get to witness the birth of another Chao Shen Da Shi again!" Luo Mo Si laughed.

In the course of their talk, Luo Mo Si's tone gradually grew solemn.

"In these past few years, the battlefields of the five major supernatural worlds on other fronts in the Alu Mofu Half-God World have all been fiercely engaged."

"Putting it nicely, it's fierce fighting; putting it bluntly, it's a series of defeats."

"Fortunately..."

Saying this, Luo Mo Si paused.

"Half a year ago, the Steam Insect Clan gradually joined the battlefield, finally stabilizing the situation on all fronts."

"Thanks to the sturdy insect ecologies you created filling the gaps, we can hold up the war-consuming front lines."

"Otherwise... the defensive lines on all five fronts would eventually have to shrink back to the Alu Mofu Half-God World."

"If we truly shift to the god-war defense phase, the foreign gods will all surround and hunt Alu Mofu."

"All the supernatural beings in the entire supernatural world, every single one of them, cannot escape."

"Now, thanks to your help, we have finally stabilized the front lines; those many supernatural beings on those lines will, to some extent, have to kowtow to you."

Luo Mo Si's words made Ta Ke unable to hold back his laughter.

"It's not that exaggerated, is it?"

Luo Mo Si glanced at Ta Ke and said lightly, "It's more exaggerated than you imagine."

"I've heard that on the Alu Mofu Half-God World side, several insect ecologies are frantically expanding, the kind where all resources are dumped into them."

"Then, the larger the ecology expands, the higher the production efficiency. Moreover, Alu Mofu has a large number of master steam spirits."

"This lets master-level shark insects there be born continuously."

"The current front line is maintained solely by the Steam Insect Clan's frenzied explosive production capacity."

"Even now, we have not yet touched the upper limit of the Steam Shark Insect ecology."

"It is said that the information about the Steam Insect Clan here in Alu Mofu has already been learned by many other half-gods, and it has also caused quite a stir."

Listening to Luo Mo Si's exposition, Ta Ke fell into thought.

As for the traits of the Steam Insect Clan, Ta Ke knows them better than anyone.

But! Others' are merely the Steam Insect Clan.

Whereas Ta Ke holds the Steam World in his hand.

Moreover, those insect ecologies bear Ta Ke's gift.

The Steam Insect Clan ecologies taking root in various places are in the process of expansion.

Scattered sparks of legendary fire have begun to gather toward Ta Ke's side.

Ta Ke uses the 【Steam·World】 to drive the fusion of the insect ecologies and the world.

And those newly developed Steam Insect Clan ecologies repay Ta Ke with immortal legendary starfire.

After a moment's thought, Ta Ke looked toward Luo Mo Si.

"Senior, how are the two Steam Insect Clan ecologies in Purple Jade Orchid?"

Ta Ke asked this, and Luo Mo Si laughed.

"If they dare to start a war... we can definitely give them enough shock on our side."

"With the delivery of some strategic resources from the Alu Mofu Half-God side."

"In the future, counterattacking the Blood Sea Ancient Ruins sunken ship site will pose no problem."

Ta Ke, upon hearing this, also raised his eyebrows slightly.

The comprehensive strength of the Purple Jade Orchid Supernatural World side grows stronger.

The Four-Tusk Elephant Realm Ship naturally becomes safer as well.

Just as the two were about to reach the end of the corridor.

From the distant Furnace Fire High Tower came a rumbling, shaking sound.

Immediately after, the towering Furnace Fire High Tower, over three hundred meters tall, erupted like a volcano.

"Rumble..."

Amidst the trembling of the earth-quake.

The huge flames blossomed like a mushroom cloud fireworks, scorching and splendid.

The clouds in the sky and the vast mountains and earth, the overlapping supernatural city-state buildings, were all covered with a layer of fiery red.

The mighty aura of the Legendary Ring Staff surged like a giant beast, rolling and surging within.

The two simultaneously looked into the distance at the furnace fire tower whose flames shot up to the sky.

Looks like your 100-level Legendary Ring Staff is about to come out.

Luomosi laughed and said.

Ta Ke's mouth also curled with a smile.

A few days ago, Luomosi informed Ta Ke that the Transcendent Divine Forge Master was about to finish forging Ta Ke's 100-level Legendary Ring Staff.

Ta Ke had been waiting in Purple Jade Orchid for many days, and today it was finally completed.

As the flames blossomed, a huge human face outline gradually emerged.

"Ta Ke! I've finished forging your Legendary Ring Staff; your Legendary Fire is truly fierce, hahaha... I hope you can soon create a legend."

"Moreover... your Steam Shark Bug's ecology is not bad; I've added two extra small fragments for you."

"I hope you like it!"

The sound rumbled boom boom, then slowly faded.

Even the Divine Forge Master, who seldom goes out, now knows Ta Ke's current methods and reputation.

Chant——

From afar came the clear ringing of the Legendary Ring Staff.

Ta Ke slightly released his aura.

That 100-level Legendary Ring Staff shot forth like a meteor.

Until it reached Ta Ke's front, the two-meter-diameter 100-level Demon Legendary Ring Staff then quickly shrank.

Spiritual perception surged into the Legendary Ring Staff.

A large amount of information poured in.

【Legendary·Demon Ring Staff】

Level: 120.

Legendary Trait·Hunting: Killing other transcendent beings yields a certain amount of source energy experience.

Legendary Trait·Fire Demon: Can release a powerful demon from the abyssal flames (Note: Beware of the demon's backlash!).

Artifact Trait·God Shatter: A fragment trait from the ancient chaos divine artifact; your attacks will inflict God Shatter on any item or lifeform they touch.

Hunting, Fire Demon, are traits inherent to the Legendary Ring Staff itself.

But with forging, these legendary traits have become completely solidified.

"Artifact Trait·God Shatter?"

Ta Ke narrowed his eyes, carefully examining the trait bestowed upon the Legendary Ring Staff by the ancient chaos divine artifact, an inconceivable characteristic.

"This Artifact Trait·God Shatter is very strong!"

"With this trait, against those who have legendary armor, strong shields, or transcendent masters with formidable master-level defense, I can better destroy and strike them."

Feeling this entirely black, gold-patterned 100-level Legendary Ring Staff,

Ta Ke nodded in satisfaction.

"Hetala, you are now a 120-level Fire Demon."

"That Divine Forge Master Sir reminded me to be careful of your backlash."

Storing the Demon Ring Staff on his wrist, Ta Ke said leisurely.

Hetala inside the Demon Ring Staff instantly became excited.

"Slander! Slander...... My respected master, this is absolutely naked slander."

"My loyalty to you is as solid as a rock in the sea waves!"

"No hardship can wear away my loyalty to you!"

"Even if I die, what remains in the depths of my ashes is the loyalty trait to you!"

Ta Ke, intending to continue teasing the Fire Demon Hetala, his face sank slightly, then he looked toward the distant Four-tusk Elephant Realm Ship.

Beside him, Luomosi keenly sensed Ta Ke's change, looked at Ta Ke, and lowered his voice.

"What's wrong?"

Ta Ke, with narrowed eyes, felt for a moment, then slowly said.

"I think... the war... has begun!"
