Chapter 216: 215: Capturing the Little Hawk King! (Heartfelt Words, Seventh update asking for subscriptions!)

Translator: 549690339

With some speculations in mind, Du Gang continued onwards. While passing through a swamp, suddenly, a giant crocodile shot out, opening its massive mouth, barreling towards him.

“Perfect!”

Du Gang let out a laugh. He had been wondering if other creatures would also turn into transparent substances upon death. Then, like a gift, this crocodile showed up!

The Ancient Divine Spear immediately materialized, targeting the gaping maw of the crocodile.

However, to his surprise, as the spear got closer to the crocodile’s mouth, it seemed to shrink, becoming about the size of the crocodile’s teeth.

“Is it getting bigger?”

Upon seeing this, Du Gang quickly transformed into a hundred-meter tall giant.

“Boom!”

This time, something unexpected happened.

The giant crocodile in front of him seemed to have grown proportionally, still approaching him with its mouth open, getting closer and closer.

“Damn, what’s happening?!”

Du Gang, startled, transformed again, this time enlarging himself to a height of a hundred thousand kilometers.

“Boom!”

Upon completion of his transformation, he was dumbstruck!

Because, the crocodile was still in front of him, still snapping at him as before.

This time, it seemed like his body was being repressed.

“Retreat first!”

Du Gang leaped backward through the air, flying away into the distance.

But to his astonishment, he didn’t seem to have any strength in his jumps, as if a bicycle with a broken chain. No matter how much force he put in, he was unable to move.

At this moment, he noticed that the crocodile in front of him kept getting bigger and bigger.

“Hmm”

“Crunch!”

With the closure of its upper and lower jaws, the crocodile successfully swallowed Du Gang.

Looking at the huge throat passage resembling an abyss, Du Gang realized it wasn’t the crocodile’s proportional enlargement but rather its ability to suppress his transformation.

Incredible!

A small crocodile possessing such power!

“Could it be...a God Spirit Level creature?!”

As a Sector Lord Level being, under normal circumstances, a God Spirit Level creature could suppress his size.

The crocodile’s performance necessitated this kind of speculation.

He did not resist, or rather, his resistance was futile.

He got drawn into the abyss.

Following the path of the digestive tract, Du Gang kept descending.

As he continued sinking, the surrounding flesh walls started to produce a suction force.

Du Gang felt his Divine Power dwindling with the absorption of this suction.

After several minutes of continuous descent, Du Gang finally reached a place similar to a stomach.

This place was incredibly vast, as large as an independent space. If it weren’t for the humanoid corpses at the end of the stomach, Du Gang would have truly thought he had entered another spatial domain.

“Pop!”

With a soft sound, Du Gang stuck to it like a fly to a flytrap, while endless suction force drained the energy from his body.

“Damn!”

Feeling his power ebbing away, looking at the humanoid corpses, Du Gang, rarely, let out a curse.

What level of existence is this crocodile?!

He was astounded!

“I can’t just sit here and wait for death!”

After some thought, he shouted again, “Transform!”

“Bang!”

This time, to his surprise, he actually saw the sky!

“Where is the crocodile?”

Gazing down from a hundred thousand kilometers above the ground, he couldn’t see anything.

Suddenly, he felt a lightness on his head.

Looking up, a transparent object, the size of a sesame seed, appeared slowly.

“Did the crocodile die?!”

Du Gang was perplexed and at the same time, reduced his size back to normal.

Floating in the air, looking at this object that was already formed and still flying toward the Heavenly Mountain, he knitted his eyebrows.

“Could it be that the crocodile only has that terrifying controlling power when it opens its mouth?!”

He speculated that the reason he couldn’t transform earlier was due to some shrinking force suppressing him.

And when he was in the stomach, this restrictive force was gone, hence he came out!

“It should be like this!”

Apart from this possibility, he could not think of any other.

“Did the corpses come out?!”

He quickly looked around, including the ground below.

After a long search, he did not find the corpses that he had found inside the crocodile.

“So, did the corpses also turn into this transparent substance when the crocodile died?!”

Du Gang’s eyebrows furrowed deeper, he was clueless about this transparent substance.

“Should I continue?”

After some pondering, he resolutely moved in the direction of the Heavenly Mountain.

The four major corporations willingly let people in, which implies, in their assessment, there are some dangers but also opportunities that beings above Sector Lord Level can obtain.

Moreover, he had a bold speculation about the crocodile that had just disappeared.

“As we know, this is a temple on the Pangu Continent, suspected to be the manifestation of Pangu Supreme. Then, these things likely have something to do with it!”

“Pangu Supreme, I’m your descendent. Don’t play tricks on your offspring!”

With this in mind, Du Gang embarked on the journey towards the Heavenly Mountain.

Just at this moment, the ‘sun’ hanging in the sky seemed to dim.

“What’s happening, is it setting?”

With that thought, Du Gang quickly started looking.

He had seen many platforms similar to Lake Island along the way, so he wasn’t worried.

Soon enough, he found another similar platform.

This time, those small animals, like the grey snake that had attacked him previously and the crocodile that almost digested him, all squeezed onto the platform.

At this moment, they seemed to have agreed beforehand, none paid any attention to others, only focusing on moving forward.

Seeing this, Du Gang also stood on the platform along with these animals.

As expected, these animals did not attack him at this moment; they behaved as if he were non-existent.

Shortly after standing on the platform, the sun in the sky began a steep descent.

In no time, it vanished without a trace.

Simultaneously, the sky suddenly dimmed.

The originally beautiful state of mountains, rivers, and streams began to change.

The Dark Forest they experienced on their first entry reappeared.

It seemed as though two different worlds were interchanging based on the changes in the sky.

“So it is true, one world dominated by Yang (the cosmic male principle), and one by Yin (the cosmic female principle)?!”

At this moment, the platform they were standing on was emanating a layer of purple mist, protecting them within.

The strange black creatures in the forest, as if completely oblivious to their existence, stayed lifeless on the treetops.

Meanwhile, the animals on the platform seemed to have reached their bedtime, each of them lying on the ground, beginning to sleep.

“Bizarre!”

Du Gang stared at this scene, his brow furrowed, “It seems like... like a pre-arranged program...”

“There is something wrong with both ‘the sun’ and these animals!”

He didn’t disturb the sleeping animals but took a step over them and walked to the edge of the platform, next to the boundary enveloped in purple mist.

“Hey!”

He tried greeting the black creatures outside.

Regrettably, those creatures made no response.

“So, this platform, indeed, is a kind of a protective platform, capable of protecting organisms on the platform from getting hurt by these black creatures.”

Du Gang tried taking out the Ancient Divine Spear and threw it outwards.

“Whoosh!”

At this moment, all black creatures heard the noise and swarmed towards the location of the spear.

Seeing this, Du Gang swiftly recalled the spear, at the same time readying himself, guarding against their attack.

However, unexpectedly, the platform they were standing on truly felt like being in a different time-space.

These black creatures merely moved back and forth through their platform, without stopping.

The phenomena also applied to the animals lying on the ground as though the things moving through were only illusions, causing no harm whatsoever.

Du Gang clenched his fist, confirming his strength was still there, and paid it no mind.

Just as they were about to continue climbing, a figure landed not far away from them.

“Qiao Jin!”

Qiao Jin seemed somewhat disheveled at the moment. Seeing the pair, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

“The beasts outside are terrifying...”

He was still pretty shaken up.

Although his power was average, the beasts were very tricky, leaving him unable to deal with them.

Noticing the slime on him, Yu Shuiyao laughed, “You didn’t get eaten by a crocodile, did you...”

At that moment, Du Gang suddenly turned into a flash of golden light and dashed in a direction.

The pair quickly looked towards it. In the distance, a flash of golden light was darting towards them but then quickly shot back at high speed.

Once Du Gang left the restricted zone, he quickly took off after the fleeing golden light.

Looking at two rays of golden light that were rapidly moving away, Qiao Jin questioned, “What’s going on?”

Although he also entered today, he came in earlier and didn’t witness the fight between Du Gang and Little Hawk King.

Yu Shuiyao laughed, “That’s Little Hawk King – Du Gang almost killed him in the outside world...”

Only then did Qiao Jin understand that Du Gang was pursuing and trying to kill Little Hawk King once more.

“Du Gang, don’t you freaking push it too far!”

Little Hawk King was frantically flapping his wings, but Du Gang was still maintaining a safe distance while relentlessly pursuing him.

Du Gang smiled, “You are the one who said that anything goes on the arena, including death. You sure are running pretty fast...”

Little Hawk King had an angry look on his face. But he was helpless because he really couldn’t beat Du Gang. If he stopped, he might really die.

“Swoosh!”

“Swoosh!”

The two golden rays kept flashing as they swept across the vast forest.

“Du Gang, nighttime is about to descend. If you continue chasing me, both of us will be screwed!” Little Hawk king noticed the sky changing and became agitated.

Compared to the daytime, the night was clearly more terrifying.

Those endless creatures, tireless and fearless, rushed at him in a frenzy.

Just the thought of it made his blood run cold!

Initially, when he was pursued into the temple by Du Gang, it was nighttime. Fortunately, it soon changed to daytime. Otherwise, he might have died then and there.

At night, those creatures were incredibly fast. No matter how fast he flew, they quickly caught up.

As for Little Hawk King’s words, Du Gang neither agreed nor disagreed. It didn’t matter to him, as he could always shrink to avoid attacks once they arrived in the darkness world.

When Du Gang appeared unfazed, Little Hawk King barked angrily, “You really want to bring us both down?”

“Du Gang! Your enemy is Jiang Wenxing, why do you keep pursuing me?!”

He was genuinely scared of the madman behind him, who seemed to have no regard for his own life.

With a faint smile, Du Gang retorted, “Didn’t you call me a loser? Let me show you!”

“Shit!!”

At this moment, Little Hawk King’s expression was indescribable, and he somewhat regretted his previous arrogance.

“Boom!”

At this point, the initially high-hanging sun in the sky started to descend gradually.

“Damn it! I only have about a minute left ...”

With a shift of golden light, Little Hawk King swiftly flew towards a platform in the distance.

“Swoosh!”

“Swoosh!”

Just as the sun was about to set, the two figures—one leading and the other following—landed on the platform.

“Boom!”

What Little Hawk King didn’t expect was that Du Gang wouldn’t let him go even at this critical moment—he had actually made a move!

“Bang bang bang!”

He quickly fought back, casting Claw Rending the Sky as if it cost him nothing.

Similarly, Du Gang unleashed a series of Sky Breaking Stances one after another.

In that moment, they transformed the platform into their battlefield.

The surrounding animals slept soundly, showing not the slightest hint of resistance.

Any creature struck by the ensuing shockwaves were virtually transformed into transparent substances, gradually disappearing.

In a short while, only Du Gang and Little Hawk King were left on the platform.

“Du Gang, don’t push me too far...”

Little Hawk King glared fiercely with an expression that seemed to say, ‘if you’re mad, I can be madder.’

Hearing this, Du Gang finally stopped.

After the prolonged fight, he realized that he was unable to defeat Little Hawk King with his conventional methods. Unless he transformed...

“Even if I push you, so what?”

With a slight smile, Du Gang told him: “Transform!”

In the next second, they both left the platform in a flash.

After a moment, Little Hawk King hastily tried to fly back to the platform. But when he turned his head, he discovered that the platform which was previously shrouded with purple mist had now disappeared.

“Madman!”

Roaring in fury, Little Hawk King nimbly evaded an attack from a nearby creature and began to counterattack relentlessly.

Meanwhile, all the surrounding creatures that heard the noise started to action, gradually converging towards them.

Gazing at the increasingly dense crowd of monsters in the distance, Little Hawk King cursed, “Are you trying to drag me down with you?”

“To go down together?”

With a smile, Du Gang replied: “Don’t worry. Neither of us will die!”

Then, something totally unbelievable happened right in front of Little Hawk King.

The Du Gang in front of him seemed to have slipped into an empty space, disappearing in an instant.

“Where is he?!”

He was completely dumbfounded!

What happened to dying together as they had said?

“Du Gang, fuck your ancestors!”

“Bang bang bang!”

After finishing his swearing, he was forced to start fighting against the enemies.

At that moment, he dare not use his wings, because the speed of these creatures seemed to change according to his.

If he sped up, the creatures would double their speed. After all, they also had a pair of wings on their back...

“Claw Rending the Sky!”

“Boom boom boom!”

Lots of creatures were vanquished into black smoke under his attacks.

However, it was useless. These creatures were seemingly endless, continuously emerging.

Moreover, their power was basically at the Sector Lord Fourth Rank level. Without using his best moves, it was extremely difficult to exterminate these creatures!

This led to his power being rapidly depleted.

In a mere ten minutes, he had killed hundreds of creatures, but he was also nearing the end of his Divine Power.

“Will I, Little Hawk King, die a disgraced death in this place?!”

In this moment, there was an unyielding spirit in his eyes!

He had just passed the hell-level trials, but before he had even had the chance to make a name for himself, he was going to die a pathetic death.

Just then, he heard an all too familiar voice in his ear.

“Do you need me to save you?!”

A glimmer of hope rose in his heart when he heard those words.

At the same time, a field being encompassed by a world was covering him.

Feeling this world field, he hesitated a bit in this moment.

But in the end, he chose to let go of his resistance and allowed himself to be guided.

“Swoosh!”

All of a sudden, Little Hawk King disappeared from his encirclement.

Upon reappearing, he was already inside Du Gang’s internal world!

“Rattle!”

Just as soon as Little Hawk King showed up, before he even had the chance to resist, he was captured by a chain and tied to a pillar.

In someone else’s internal world, regardless of whether they were equal in strength or not, he could not resist!

Du Gang’s spirit form floated in front of him with a smile, “You are the first person I have captured....”

Seeing signs of survival, Little Hawk King asked, “You’re not going to kill me?”

Du Gang laughed and said, “Why would I kill you? You’re worth a lot...”

PS: Some readers think 10,000 words per day is too little, and I agree. So, I’m readjusting my update strategy for every “one cent” of potential profit.

PS: New update plan: Update two chapters of around 10,000 words each every day, totaling at least 20,000 words per day. Then, have an additional explosion update of 70,000 words once a week.

PS: Let’s try this out for now. I write pretty fast, even faster than Eagle-listed Writers. I typically sleep at around 1 AM, wake up at 4 AM to write, and continue to write till 12 midnight. I usually only take 10 minutes to eat, so essentially, I spend 20 hours writing every day. Updating 30,000 words every day is my limit.

PS: Today, I’m short of over 2,000 words. I planned to explode with 70,000 words in total, but only managed to write over 67,000 words. This morning, my draft payment came out, and after seeing it, I tearfully passed out in the toilet. This month’s draft payment wasn’t even enough to pay back this month’s loan, hence I wasted almost three hours trying to adjust my conditions. Nobody said being an adult was easy. After a good cry, all I can do is either die now or pick myself back up and continue to write.

PS: To fight for the top spot on the Combat Power Ranking, I have bet my life and the lives of my descendants. If I lose, my lineage ends here...
