Chapter 389: The Legendary Strongman Who Doesn't Talk Martial Ethics!

Flame World Tree, steam‑gray mist corridor.

Ta Ke advanced toward the depths of the shark‑insect nest while summarizing the combat insights from just now.

As Ta Ke ascended to Chao Shen Da Shi.

Mentor Mo Erman then devised a battle plan for Ta Ke.

Mo Erman's original words were:

"In the future you will not only face Mo Lei·Shen Ting and the elite of the Foreign Realm Divine Alliance, but also the Chaotic inhabitants of the Ancient Chaotic Continent, the outer‑realm Black Mist lands, and other strong ones wandering in the Primary Sequence World."

"Fight many strong opponents, learn their various tactics and abilities, and know how to employ your own Chaotic Steam Wizard techniques to counter them."

The teacher's requirements and the current war's demands.

Thus, Ta Ke's half‑year of combat clashes came about.

At first, Ta Ke was sparring and battling with many Chao Shen Da Shi of Purple Magnolia.

Gradually, Ta Ke began dueling with many Chao Shen Da Shi of Mo Lei·Shen Ting and the Foreign Realm Divine Alliance.

Each detailed battle summary is a compulsory lesson for Ta Ke.

This is also one of Mentor Mo Erman's teachings to Ta Ke.

A flood of battle scenes flashed rapidly in Ta Ke's mind.

"Just as the teacher said, many Chao Shen Da Shi, based on their innate talents and the master talents obtained upon ascending, will cultivate one or two core elemental abilities."

"That Time Swordsman cultivated a time‑rune ability called 'Time Lock', which slows the flow of time."

"If I were an ordinary Steam Master of other elements, even when struck by a shield I would still be slowed, eventually ending up as a target relentlessly pursued."

"But I am not an ordinary rune‑element Steam Master; I am a Chaotic Steam Master."

"The roar of Steam Sequence power can, to some extent, disrupt that swordsman's Time Lock."

"This has already been manifested in the master sequences of other Steam Masters."

"Not only against this Time Lock, but also against the spellcaster's Spatial Vortex I previously fought, and the Thunder‑type strongman's Thunder Conduction, among others."

"My Steam Sequence consistently exhibits outstanding traits."

"And this is why the Three‑Eyed Deity and the Seven Deities revere the Steam Sequence."

"A rune master of the Steam Sequence is naturally stronger than a rune master of an ordinary sequence."

"Not to mention…"

Ta Ke's eyes narrowed slightly.

"I am still the Chaotic Steam Sequence."

"The Steam Sequence's disruptive destruction, the Chaotic Sequence's innate powerful resistance."

"All in all, I am essentially unaffected."

With that thought, Ta Ke gently rubbed his palm.

"In this past half‑year, I have clashed with many Chao Shen Da Shi, confronting the core abilities, talents, and divine arts that various strong ones have cultivated."

"Only a handful can significantly restrain or suppress me."

"Those who can slightly suppress me are senior mid‑rank Chao Shen Da Shi of level 148 or even 149."

"If I cultivate for a while longer, raising my level a bit, those senior 148‑level and 149‑level guys will likewise find it hard to suppress me."

"This… is the advantage of being a Chaotic Steam Master; the innate sequence lets me greatly diminish the impact of many abilities."

"Conversely, my forbidden‑spell attacks are completely unblockable by them."

"After ascending to Chao Shen Da Shi, my forbidden‑spell destructive power surged across the board, and its combat effectiveness is also excellent."

"Facing different defenses, I can employ different forbidden spells against them."

"That is the benefit of having many forbidden spells—comprehensive, with no weak points!"

"The system's point‑allocation effect is not very evident in level, but it gives a clear advantage in forbidden‑spell level."

As Ta Ke moved forward, streams of flowing light continuously surged within the steam‑gray mist.

These surging lights, after flowing over, were naturally absorbed by Ta Ke's twelve‑meter‑tall towering body.

Ta Ke's eyes narrowed slightly as he carefully felt the lights surge into his body, nourishing his Chaotic Master·Five‑Star Constellation form.

"The teacher's judgment was indeed extremely precise."

"Chaotic·Cosmic Constellation, this powerful talent, can fully serve as my 'core ability' as a Steam Chaotic Wizard."

The Chaotic·Cosmic Constellation talent is indeed very strong.

The only drawback is its slow cultivation speed, but considering this talent awakens only at divine‑level heights, it is understandable.

This spanned roughly one year and three to four months.

Ta Ke devoted almost all his time to it.

Moreover, over more than a year, Ta Ke gradually added points, raising this talent to just over 7000%.

Even so.

It wasn't until last month that Ta Ke barely condensed the fifth constellation within his body, achieving the "Chaotic Master·Five‑Star Constellation Body".

To attain a ten‑star constellation body will require at least two more years, perhaps longer.

Though it's a bit slow.

But now, Ta Ke is gradually experiencing the benefits of this "Chaotic Master·Five‑Star Constellation Body".

Each time a constellation is condensed.

Ta Ke's master‑state vitality and defensive power each gain an additional base‑level multiplier of onefold.

The current Five‑Star Constellation Body.

Is five times.

And by leveraging this Five‑Star Constellation Body's innate defensive traits, Ta Ke combines it with his Steam Crystal Wall.

He constructed his own Master State defensive ability, the Stellar Crystal Wall.

Previously, when Ta Ke shattered a shield, he was also struck by some special means.

But these extremely powerful attacks landed on Ta Ke.

Under Ta Ke's formed Stellar Crystal Wall defense.

Only a small amount of Master State was erased, causing only minor damage.

And as Ta Ke's later cultivation progressed, he advanced to a twenty‑star phase body, eventually to a fifty‑star phase body.

The Master State's chaotic‑sequence life toughness, as well as its defensive ability,

will reach an astonishing level.

It is precisely because he possesses strong defensive and survival abilities that Ta Ke can fight enemies near the Four‑tooth Elephant Realm Ship.

Arrive at the deep nest.

Wooo…

Boom—…

The extremely condensed steam old stars emitted a steaming roar.

The rushing steam sounded like a flood, pouring down.

Then, throughout the massive circular nest, it transformed into a gigantic star vortex over ten kilometers in diameter.

Steam spirits of considerable scale built nests and settled within this star vortex.

As Ta Ke arrived.

The young, ignorant steam spirits curiously followed the big guy Ta Ke, some even leapt onto his body, scratching left and right.

The slightly older steam spirits respectfully bowed to Ta Ke in the steam, daring not a single overstep.

Now, the steam ecology of the Four‑tooth Elephant Realm Ship delves deeper into the world's origin.

Currently the whole world is continuously breaking free from the Sunken Ship's shackles, forming the characteristics of the Steam Realm Ship.

Sit near the old steam stars.

Bathed in the scorching light of the old stars.

As Ta Ke simultaneously absorbed starlight and contemplated the profound mysteries of chaotic runes.

"Lord Ta Ke!"

Wen Di, on tiptoes, sprinted ahead of Ta Ke, lifting her skirt to salute him.

"What's the matter?"

Ta Ke slowly opened his eyes.

"A few days ago, you asked me to follow the steam star track to see if I could contact your hometown."

"Just now, I sensed a resonance with the old steam star ecology."

"But the distance is too great; I cannot project."

"Lord Ta Ke, perhaps you can do it."

Ta Ke heard this and immediately laughed.

Before ascending to Chao Shen Da Shi, Ta Ke's power could not return to his hometown, the Ao Gu Twin Stars Transcendent World.

Now, after becoming a Chao Shen Da Shi, there is no major problem.

Ta Ke let Wen Di try to follow the steam currents of the steam stars to see if she could locate his hometown.

Indeed, the steam spirit Wen Di actually found it.

"Give me the coordinates, and I will project; after all… the old steam stars there were built by me."

Ta Ke said softly.

Soon Wen Di provided the steam coordinates to Ta Ke.

Following this coordinate, Ta Ke followed the old steam stars' currents, slowly gathering power, projecting himself down.

Fortunately, that distant location had the guidance of the old steam star ecology.

Otherwise, Ta Ke would have struggled to complete the projection.

"Boom—…"

Amid the old light and surging star steam.

Ta Ke's Master projection, after more than a decade, returns to Saint Land!

"Who is it!"

As Ta Ke completed his projection, a fierce roar, like thunder cracking and sweeping, erupted.

Ta Ke's freshly gathered Master projection nearly collapsed from the blast of that shout.

"It is I, Grand Duke."

Ta Ke hurriedly replied.

"You…"

Chao Shen Da Shi Sairiangsi, Grand Duke, immediately observed closely.

Even as a projection, it also made the prime‑aged Grand Duke Sairiangsi feel a certain threat.

"Ta… Ta Ke…"

After a moment of observation, Grand Duke Sairiangsi spoke hoarsely.

"You have ascended to Chao Shen Da Shi!"

"Yes, Grand Duke."

The more he examined Ta Ke's projection, the more Grand Duke Sairiangsi clicked his tongue in amazement.

"You've only been out for a dozen years, yet you've already become a Chao Shen Da Shi; it's incomprehensible. The speed of your ascent is too fast."

Back when the God War broke out, I learned you were still on the road, and I worried for a long time.

In the Alumofu Demi-God World, during the large-scale slaughter, many Chao Shen Da Shi fell.

Being able to become a Chao Shen Da Shi there must have been a rough journey.

Are you currently in the Alumofu Demi-God World?

The Grand Duke asked uncertainly.

It's not the Alumofu Demi-God World, but a battlefield region belonging to it; overall, it counts as the edge of the Alumofu Demi-God World.

Ta Ke explained.

The fighting here is indeed brutal; legendary powerhouses lurk in the shadows, and once fighting breaks out, the world I'm in could easily be shattered.

During this period, many Chao Shen Da Shi have suffered casualties.

As a Grand Duke who is a Chao Shen Da Shi, hearing this, he couldn't help but feel his heart tremble.

Getting close to the Demi-God World is indeed very dangerous.

During the discussion, Ta Ke asked gently.

How is the situation in the Aogu Twin Star World these days?

The situation is not optimistic.

The Grand Duke shook his head.

After the God War broke out, members of the Dark Sun Church have continually arrived at the Aogu Twin Star Supernatural World.

For over a decade, we have been stalemated at the Shengland Defense Line.

Defending has been difficult, but fortunately I have eased the standoff with the Sunrock Stone Empire to the south, so I can also resist the pressure from the north.

Upon hearing that the Aogu Twin Star Supernatural World wasn't too dangerous, Ta Ke also let out a sigh of relief.

Ta Ke didn't want to wander outside cultivating, only to find his homeland gone.

After all, the precipitation of the origin's legendary traits is still very important.

The legendary spark of his homeland most easily allows Ta Ke to forge a legend.

After a moment's thought, Ta Ke spoke again.

Grand Duke, I will tell you a prayer code of the Steam Spirit.

Afterward, you can dispatch specialized Steam Sequence Supernatural Beings to build a Steam Tower Altar and perform fixed Steam Code prayers.

That Steam Spirit will deliver a large number of Steam Cores to Shengland.

Each month, at least two or three hundred, possibly as many as four or five hundred.

Sailiangsi Grand Duke couldn't help but be slightly startled upon hearing this.

That many? Is this the Steam Spirit of a major Supernatural World?

Ta Ke smiled.

The situation is somewhat complicated and hard to explain, but anyway, this Steam Spirit that I get along with well will give you plenty of Steam Cores.

When Ta Ke said that, Sailiangsi Grand Duke also showed a smile.

This amount is several times what the Aogu Twin Star Supernatural World itself produces.

It can definitely produce a considerable number of Steam Sequence Supernatural Beings, which is great news for the entire nation.

More importantly, Ta Ke can produce that many Steam Cores.

Obviously, he also has considerable reserves in the outside world.

He now doesn't need to worry too much.

This exchange lasted over two hours.

Only then did Ta Ke end this ultra-long-distance projection.

In the Four-Tusk Elephant Realm Ship, from the first layer to the fifth, inward to the world's origin, outward to the realm ship's walls.

It has fully entered the Steam Era.

Currently, daily Steam Core production ranges from 50 to 70.

Monthly output is around 1,800.

Moreover, this number is continually increasing.

Being able to provide such vital resources to his homeland is already the best way Ta Ke can do here.

Ta Ke, gradually calming his mind.

Continue immersing in the cultivation of the Astrological Body and the comprehension of the Chaos Rune Essence.

In a blink, half a month's time flew by.

……

Deep in the Steam Gray Mist.

Ta Ke, bathed in scorching light, is undergoing stat allocation.

Although the Twelve-Ring Tower Flame World Tree gives Ta Ke abundant source energy experience.

But Ta Ke's current consumption is also astonishing; wanting to max out all-around as before is naturally impossible.

"In a previous stat allocation, I raised the Eternal Flame's level to 100, and the burning effect underwent a significant change."

"This time, I'll first raise the Seven-Star Chaos Starfall Ring to level 100."

"This seven-star-level powerful Chaos Forbidden Spell, raised to level 100, combined with my current 176-Ring State Chaos Rune Essence, still has tremendous power."

"Any extra source energy experience, just add it to the level!"

"Level 113, that's just about right."

After the stat allocation, Ta Ke examined himself up and down for a moment.

【Supernatural Sequence】

Chaos Steam Grand Master Witch: level 113.

Primal Dark Sea: level 100.

【Supernatural Divine Abilities】

Threshold-Phase Walk (1832 fragments): level 90.

Eternal Heart of Flame (15200 fragments): level 100.

Forbidden Demon Exclusive Passage (7265 fragments): level 80.

【Supernatural Talent】

Precision High-Dimensional Correction (SSS Exclusive Grade): 8500%.

Steam World Origin Spirit State (SSS Exclusive Grade): 10010%.

【Supernatural Witchcraft/Abilities】

Steam Light Feather Blade (Five-Star, Shape Ability): level 90.

Annihilation Still Nirvana Star Explosion (Six-Star): level 90.

Ancient Spirit Star Dragon Breath (Five-Star): level 90.

Bastion Crystal Wall Armor (Five-Star): level 90.

After closing the system interface, Ta Ke gradually gathered his mind.

After advancing to Chao Shen Da Shi.

Forbidden Spell Level, Core Abilities, Chaos Rune Arcana.

Advancement in these aspects determines the strength of Ta Ke's overall power.

Ta Ke, with extremely high talent, continually advances the abilities and means in all aspects.

Spending time to develop is Ta Ke's favorite part.

Just as Ta Ke gathered his mind and continued his cultivation.

"Ta Ke!"

Luomo Si's voice suddenly rang out in the insect clan's spiritual network.

"They initiated a challenge?"

"They initiated a challenge?"

Upon hearing this, Ta Ke slightly raised his brow.

"This time's opponent is a Mo Lei·Shen Ting from the Chaos Continent, a mid-level Chao Shen Da Shi, level 145, identity unknown, estimated to be a formidable rival."

Luomo Si quickly elaborated.

Upon hearing this, Ta Ke rubbed his forehead.

"What kind of Chao Shen Da Shi doesn't matter; what's important is…… after the legendary powerhouse Aiwen observed multiple times, this battle, they…… likely have plotted for a long time."

Upon hearing this, Luomo Si also chuckled lightly.

"Yes, they must have made preparations, even…… possibly will launch a sneak attack against you."

"And we…… most hope to see this scene."

Ta Ke, lightly rubbing his palms, after a moment took a deep breath and said.

"If that's the case, then let's begin!"

"Stay in contact with the demigod Alu Mofu."

"Once the battle begins, regardless of whether we heavily wound the legendary one, the demigod Alu Mofu must descend to protect."

"Otherwise, we cannot withstand the enraged legendary powerhouse."

"Rest assured!"

Luomo Si firmly nodded.

"On my side, I've already stayed in contact with the demigod Alu Mofu."

After further discussion and finalizing many details.

Ta Ke's mind and spirit immersed himself in his own master sequence ecology.

Within Ta Ke's sequence ecology.

Divine Power Scroll!

Three powerful divine power scrolls are being stored here by Ta Ke.

One is a defensive divine power scroll.

It can protect Ta Ke from being slain by a legendary powerhouse after he acts.

The other two are offensive divine power scrolls with astonishing destructive power.

This is the key to sniping the legendary powerhouse.

Several days later!

Above the void, a chilling killing intent!

Ta Ke stood still in the depths of the void.

At this moment, Ta Ke's steam light feather blade roared and blossomed behind him, and the steam sequence surged with rolling air waves.

The roar of steam source energy blossomed like Ta Ke's tentacles toward the cosmic starry sky.

The sequence that inherently brings the roar and blossoming of source energy has now become an excellent means for Ta Ke to contact the outside world.

The throbbing pulse, like Ta Ke's tentacles, spreads and surges outward.

Besides that.

Ta Ke also sensed his upcoming opponent through his own bursting great starlight.

Of course, Ta Ke focused more of his attention on the minuscule place illuminated by light in the distant depths of the void.

That is the hiding place of the legendary strong one, Ai Wen.

It is located over a hundred kilometers away from Ta Ke.

A 145th-level dark witch from Mo Lei·Shen Ting stood still in the void.

His silhouette was shrouded in an endless dark vortex, even light being devoured.

Besides this dark witch.

The strong ones who had previously watched the battles from both sides also nearly all gathered, even more than before.

"Boom!"

With the dark witch's source energy bursting forth violently.

The battle instantly opened its curtains.

The dark witch waved a hand, and a vast expanse of darkness blossomed like a night curtain in an instant.

In a moment, the entire starry sky quickly dimmed.

"The power of some kind of dark dimension?"

Ta Ke's eyes narrowed slightly.

"This isn't some attacking force; it…… is a cover…… what is he hiding!"

Ta Ke, sensing danger, was both startled and delighted.

What is startling is that the legendary strong one indeed disregards martial decorum, wanting to personally enter the field to deal with himself.

What is delightful is that we have been waiting for you to come down; if you don't come down, I'll have to jump over.

If you come straight over, then I can directly save a time-wasting step.

"Boom!"

Ta Ke, with extremely keen perception, instantly activated the Divine Power Defense Scroll.

At the same time!

The attack of the legendary strong one, Death Abyss Instructor, fell upon Ta Ke like a cosmic starry sky giant python!

And the other legendary strong one, Ai Wen, likewise disregarded dignity, being dispatched to Ta Ke's side.

A legendary blade slash, breaking open the starry sky, came to slay Ta Ke.

And the one who transmitted him was none other than the Shark Insect Legendary Empress, Ge Fu.

The three legendary strong ones all took the field, intending to join forces to snipe Ta Ke.
