Chapter 257: On the Star Ship, In the Arena
In the vast Star Sea world, if anything could be considered its symbol, it would probably be this Ink Sea Star Ship. No one knew how it came to be, nor did anyone remember who first discovered it. In any case, its existence became the ultimate pursuit of all people in the Star Sea world. Life on the star ship was safe and comfortable. The massive ship could accommodate several hundred thousand people, but its ten deck levels also divided all people into ten classes.
The closer Zhanyue got to this giant object, the more his scalp tingled. Even with the production capabilities of the Myriad Spirits Realm, building such a huge ship would be extremely difficult, let alone in the more backward Star Sea world. So Zhanyue naturally had two thoughts: First, the Star Sea world’s condition long ago was completely different from now, and this giant ship was built at that time. Second, this star ship was actually a product from another world, accidentally falling here.
In any case, Zhanyue didn’t think this giant ship was just for show. Perhaps it could move? A mobile city carrying hundreds of thousands of people was impressive just to think about. Zhanyue couldn’t help but have the idea of claiming it for himself. But, as he had guessed before, some things in the Heavenly Book world were real while others were fake. Zhanyue couldn’t judge the authenticity of this ship now, nor did he know what conditions were needed to claim it.
“Do you think we could take it away?” Zhanyue asked Baizhi in his internal space. “...You’re really daring. I’ve never thought about it that way. But perhaps it’s not impossible,” Baizhi replied. “The star ship has ten levels, each housing many people. The higher the level, the higher the status of its residents. To find the Ink Sea Lord, we probably need to reach the tenth level.”
“Indeed.” It wasn’t good to sneak in during the day, so Zhanyue quietly waited underwater for nightfall. After a long time, the sun illuminating this world finally set. The sea surface darkened, but it was then that the star ship truly revealed its beauty.
The star ship was brilliantly lit, with a giant star pillar like a lighthouse driving away the surrounding darkness. The star ship was also a city that never slept.
However, compared to daytime, there were fewer guards on the star ship at night. Zhanyue’s infiltration went smoothly, after all, the highest realm in this world was only at his level.
Although he didn’t understand this world’s language and writing, Baizhi inside him did. It was just a pity he couldn’t speak. The first level had the largest space and was where most people on the star ship lived, housing as many as 200,000 people. This was unimaginable for a ship. This level was mostly residential areas and shops, meeting the star ship’s most basic supply and living requirements. Zhanyue even saw fish ponds and farmlands here, and naturally, there were also brightly lit casinos and brothels. It was no different from cities in the outside world.
His doubt wasn’t without reason. In fact, the vast majority of supplies on the star ship came from outside, and as for the transportation method, Zhanyue soon found out.
On the arena, two opponents who looked down on each other faced each other. Thunder Lord and others were watching from around.
Just in terms of looks, these two were both extremely handsome men, even somewhat bewitching.
“Yu Xuanyi of the Cangfeng Realm,” Yu Xuanyi introduced himself. “Tianxian of the Bird Clan,” Tianxian’s mouth curved into a slight smile. After being idle for so long, he could finally stretch his muscles. He hoped this so-called top expert of the Cangfeng Realm could spark his interest a little.
Yu Xuanyi had heard that Tianxian had defeated Liu Zhaoran and Feng Bulang, so he didn’t underestimate Tianxian, but he didn’t take him too seriously either. After all, he knew the strength of Liu Zhaoran and Feng Bulang, and he wasn’t afraid even of Feng Bulang’s domain.
A sword and a knife, two contract magical treasures, appeared in his hands. Since the opponent wasn’t weak, there was no need to probe gradually.
“A dual contract object contractor? Interesting,” Tianxian nodded, spreading his wings, ready for battle.
“Sword and Knife as Dream!” Yu Xuanyi moved, his body appearing beside Tianxian as if teleporting, followed by a storm of attacks.
“So fast, such fast speed!” The Bird Clan Grand Elder watching from the side exclaimed. As the saying goes, of all martial arts, none can withstand, only speed is unbreakable. Yu Xuanyi’s terrifying opening combo indeed caught Tianxian off guard.
