Chapter 976: Shocking News
“Master Dark Star, Planet D-7025 is in front!”
A starship was sailing quietly through space when someone who looked like a liaison officer stepped forward to report respectfully.
There was a cultivator other than this liaison officer on the bridge.
He was wearing a wide-sleeved robe over a very vintage shirt. This was a top player in the Human Alliance, Venerable Dark Star.
Venerable Dark Star waved the liaison officer away and opened a communication channel. “How is the Wuhou Star?”
“Very bad. The Wuhou Star’s armor is 40% damaged!”
On the screen, a giant mecha was in the background. An engineer in a white coat spread his hands. “Sorry… Doctor, we’ve done our best, but we are still only at 66.7% of the restoration plan!”
“That’s enough!” Venerable Dark Star’s eyebrows lifted. “Insert the psionic crystal and get ready to start! I’ll take the responsibility if anything happens!”
“Understood!” The engineer agreed helplessly.
After some time, a few mechas dragged long tails of flame away from the ship and gazed at the planet below them.
“Doctor Dark Star, I didn’t expect you and the Crimson Knights to end up like this…” A voice came from one of the other two mechas.
They seemed to have means to monitor the chaos in the planet’s mines.
All the personnel were being manipulated and made subservient to the Seven Emotions Overmind.
Some Seven Emotions Zerg had even drilled themselves directly into the miner’s bodies and became parasitic.
“Target locked. There’s no doubt it’s the Seven Emotions Overmind!”
Dark Star gazed at this scene with a calm expression, though his eyes were burning with fury.
“Our sacrifice of a planet’s resources was not wasted. We have finally lured it out!”
A dry and hoarse voice came from another mecha. “This time, I brought the ‘Zero Lock’ device. It won’t be able to run away!”
“Be careful. This Seven Emotions Overmind is extremely strong, and its ability to escape is equally strong!”
The past might be unbearable, but Doctor Dark Star still reminded him seriously. “It’s rather cunning. I even suspect that it’s intelligence has surpassed its mother for it to be able to entrap us previously!”
To be able to outwit Undead Immortals and Grand Arcanists, it was naturally not easy.
“Fortunately, it seems to really need psionic crystals, so we could lure it out this time…” said another mecha with blue lightning surrounding it. “According to the calculations of our photon computer, the potential of this Seven Emotions Overmind surpasses its mother’s limit. It could even… even bring disaster to the universe! We must eliminate it now!”
“That’s why it was all right to sacrifice a planet with plenty of resources!” A dark mecha growled, and a ball of light appeared from its hand. “Zero Lock!”
Swoosh!
The ball of light divided into two instantly before splitting into four, then into eight, forming a huge plane in space and blocking the planet below.
This was the ‘Zero Lock’ created by Western Grand Arcanists. This locking array would even restrict a wormhole.
“We’ve already made arrangements on this planet. The core will explode once it receives a specific external stimulus!”
Dark Star raised his palm and swiftly set the plan in motion. “Activate the planet destruction plan!”
Several high-level Undead Immortals and Grand Arcanists controlled their top mechas and performed legendary arcane spells and immortal techniques. There was enough power to annihilate the planet!
But at this moment, three mechas did not do the same. They were carefully observing the surroundings and sending out signals.
Rumble!
From the starship at the rare, a huge cannon aimed at the planet. The robotic voice echoed continuously. “The star cannon is ready! Locked on to the target!
“Countdown to attack: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!”
The next instant…
Flash!
A dazzling ray of light bombarded the planet with unparalleled speed.
An astonishing explosion happened without any leakage of power.
This scene looked very strange.
The planet instantly flared into a huge fireball. The explosion spread within the boundaries of the Zero Lock, making it look like a fiery red cube.
The Zero Lock was even shrinking to converge the explosion’s might.
For a moment, the planet was compressed to ten-thousandth of its original size, but the light in the middle became even more dazzling.
“The power of the Zero Lock is always so admirable, no matter how many times I see it!” Dark Star sighed.
The mecha by his side stayed silent, its eyes fixated in the direction of the explosion.
“Even a Planet Destroyer can’t withstand such an attack. The survival rate of the Seven Emotions Overmind won’t be greater than 2%!”
Laughter roared from the black mecha.
But he suddenly stopped, as though someone grabbed his neck.
“Black Death God, Thunder God, look!”
Venerable Dark Star turned toward the Zero Lock. The mecha immediately captured a picture and zoomed in.
A black shadow appeared in the fiery flames.
It was the Seven Emotions Overmind!
Its ferocious-looking carapace had a large number of barbs sprouting out of nowhere, and they were frantically fighting against the Zero Lock light film.
“Go!”
The three ace mechas were here in case something like this happened. They turned into meteors and advanced near it.
“Immortal Sword Tactics!”
The Wuhou Star mecha looked like an ancient general with the many weapons on its body. It drew a long sword and triggered a storm.
“Thunder!”
The blue mecha howled, and large amounts of lightning appeared from the mecha’s body, as though it were a lightning dragon.
“Seven Emotions Overmind…”
Black Death God looked at the dark shadow with a cunning smile. His mecha flew right above the light film.
Swoosh!
The Zero Lock compressed again, reaching the smallest point possible.
And right at this moment, the other two ace mechas roared and pounded their most powerful attacks right on the point!
…
Planet East Dragon.
Fang Yuan returned to his room and exclaimed, “Not bad… These Undead Immortals and Grand Arcanist do have some skills to be able to exchange blows with me.”
Fang Yuan took a look at his stats window:
“Name: Fang Yuan (Lin Meng)
Profession: Dream Master, East Dragon University Student
Cultivation: Demon God (Myriad Transformations), Mystic (Level 15), Arcanist (Level 9)
Dao Path: Creation Great Dao, Omnidirectional Divine Demonic Armament Dao, Impermanence Great Dao
Techniques: Flame Control Technique, Breath Holding Dao Art, Flying Sword Dao Art
Skills: Alchemy (Grandmaster), Mecha Control (Advanced)
Specialization: Botany [Level 6] (Maximum), Heavenly Eye Seer Spell, Body of Origin Power, Heaven Devouring Mystic Technique (Level 2)
Power Recovered: 80%!”
“Such huge trouble was worth it at least. My strength is greatly restored…” Fang Yuan was very satisfied. “It’s just… I didn’t think… Venerable Three Star’s body would fuse with a mecha…”
He had gained a deeper understanding of the Undead Immortals and Grand Arcanists of this world from the battle today.
Those below level thirty were no match for him.
However, once they were in their mechas and using immortal techniques, they had the ability to match the power of his Great Daos. This was not nomological rules but simply pure power, which was incredible.
“Especially Venerable Three Star. He’s almost comparable to a Demon God. He was like me when I first obtained the Omnidirectional Divine Demonic Armament Dao and had the combat strength of a quasi Demon God…”
Fang Yuan stretched his right hand out. “In addition to gathering information about the Undead Immortals, I have to start creating my own mecha!”
It was extremely important to create the mecha now.
The Undead Immortals were merely transferring lifeforms to channel more energy after all.
But Fang Yuan’s Demon God intrinsic quality was even more perverse than any Undead Immortal.
His body was the strongest vessel. There should not be any problems even if he were to reach level fifty Mystic.
Therefore, a strange phenomenon would appear if his Nascent Soul reached Soul Transformation perfection and broke through. Even though he would clearly break through, he would not become an Undead Immortal.
“At that time, if I shield it with my Demon God abilities, I shouldn’t be discovered as long as no one carefully scrutinizes me…”
Only then did Fang Yuan have the mood to examine the changes brought about by level fifteen Mystic. “Cracking the core to achieve the Nascent Soul? In essence, it is the completion of spiritual will! By the time you’re ready for Soul Transformation, all the vitality within your body has unified. The fusion of spiritual will and vitality becomes Soul Transformation!
“It’s interesting, but it doesn’t matter… Becoming an Undead Immortal or not is of no help to me at all now!”
He stood up and looked at his wrist.
As expected, he had received several notifications.
He opened the link with Qi Yunshan and asked, “What’s wrong, Senior?”
“Something big happened. A very powerful individual appeared on Planet East Dragon. It is suspected to be a new cosmic lifeform. Venerable Three Star activated his real body and fought alongside the Undead Immortals and Grand Arcanists from other universities, but they failed to capture it…”
Qi Yunshan turned pale. “If such a terrifying guy attacked our school, most of us will probably perish!”
“…” Fang Yuan was speechless.
He actually did not want to cause such a huge stir, but he had no choice.
Planet East Dragon’s conditions were too unique. He would not be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in a short time anywhere else.
“Lin Meng! Good news!” Ross’s connection came after Qi Yunshan’s cut. “Our research institute will be rich soon. Professor Fu Hongxue wants us to start work immediately tomorrow!”
“What happened?” Fang Yuan frowned. This should have nothing to do with the trouble he caused on Planet East Dragon.
“That cosmic behemoth, the Seven Emotions Overmind, has been destroyed by Venerable Dark Star and the West’s Black Death God and Thunder God. Its remains will arrive at the institute first thing tomorrow morning!”
“What?”
