“It has a chance of killing seventh or eighth level Stellar rank experts?” Luo Feng was astonished.
Over the past year, he had learned a great deal in the virtual space.
As a result, Luo Feng understood much more clearly that…
A Universe level expert could fight an entire interstellar fleet head on.
A seventh or eighth level Stellar rank expert was over a hundred times stronger than a first level Stellar rank expert, and only a step away from reaching the Universe rank.
Such experts stood at the absolute peak. Even an interstellar fleet would struggle to kill one, let alone a single adventure spacecraft.
“This is a Black Dragon Mountain X81 model.”
Babata quickly explained, “Across the more than eight thousand star systems and countless planets within the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield, this is considered one of the finest adventure spacecraft models. Usually, only Universe level experts or those with extremely powerful backgrounds can afford one. Is it really strange that the standard weapons on a spacecraft used by Universe level experts have a chance of killing seventh or eighth level Stellar rank experts? Besides, I only said it has a chance. Truly powerful experts would never foolishly place themselves in danger.”
Luo Feng carefully examined the spacecraft before him.
It was completely black and disc shaped.
“Hehe, with an X81 like this, I, the great Demon Babata, won’t have to work so hard building a spacecraft from scratch anymore. Once I infiltrate its intelligent system and take complete control of it, I can modify this X81 adventure craft. Luo Feng, then you’ll be able to travel the universe in it.” Babata was extremely excited.
Building one from nothing could never compare to having a ready made vessel.
“I see.” Luo Feng nodded slightly.
“Besides, even if I built one myself, it could never be this good. Its craftsmanship is outstanding, and the main material used for the hull is a metal called Black Yttrium. Those wreckage fragments you gave me don’t even come close to matching Black Yttrium. Even the cleverest cook can’t prepare a meal without ingredients. No matter how capable I am, with inferior materials I could only build an ordinary spacecraft. There’s no way I could produce something of this quality.”
“The hull of this X81 is made from Black Yttrium. Even a Universe level expert would have to expend tremendous effort to damage it,” Babata praised. “This is the level of spacecraft most Universe level experts use. Anything more expensive would make even them hesitate.”
Luo Feng nodded.
This spacecraft belonged to the class used by Universe level experts.
The Yun Mo Planet, on the other hand, had belonged to the Master of Yun Mo Planet, an exceptionally powerful Immortal.
Unfortunately…
It had been destroyed.
Had it still been intact, simply diving with the Yun Mo Planet would have sliced the Golden Horned Beast apart.
After all, that terrifying vessel could easily cut through an entire planet.
“Luo Feng, taking control of this spacecraft won’t be easy,” Babata said. “The nations of Earth suffered countless casualties trying to enter this X81 adventure craft, yet they couldn’t even get past the spacecraft hatch.”
“Babata, how do we get inside?” Luo Feng asked immediately.
According to the information Hong had given him…
The greatest challenge of Ruins No. 12 was the entrance passage.
Beyond the opened outer hatch lay an entrance corridor.
At the end of this corridor stood the spacecraft hatch.
Many people from Earth’s various nations had died inside that entrance passage.
As for opening the spacecraft hatch itself…
Even Hong and Thunder God had failed.
“I know the construction of the X81 adventure craft perfectly.”
Inside the intelligent virtual space on his wrist, Babata stood proudly in his black robe.
“The entrance passage beyond the outer hatch is a laser corridor. The lasers fired throughout that corridor can easily kill fifth or sixth level Planetary rank experts. Earth’s Councillors are only first or second level Planetary rank experts. Even wearing Black God Sets to weaken the attacks, they would certainly die. Only Hong and Thunder God could barely survive with their Black God Sets.”
Luo Feng listened carefully.
“Lasers are an incredibly powerful weapon. If your Earth invested more research into laser technology, you might achieve far greater results,” Babata commented.
“They’re really that powerful?” Luo Feng rarely heard Babata praise anything.
“Of course they are.”
Babata continued, “From a theoretical perspective, if light is continuously concentrated and its intensity keeps increasing, then its destructive power can continue increasing as well. In theory, laser weapons have no upper limit. Of course, there are many practical difficulties. Still, the advanced laser weapons possessed by higher civilisations of the universe are dangerous enough that even World Lords must treat them with extreme caution.”
“Of course, the laser corridor here isn’t nearly that exaggerated,” Babata added. “What you need to do now is rush through the laser corridor and open the hatch.”
“Getting through the laser corridor won’t be a problem.”
“But opening the hatch is extremely difficult. Your Earth instructor Hong and that fellow called Thunder God… honestly, I really dislike that name.” Babata snorted inside the virtual space on Luo Feng’s wrist. “Neither of them could open the hatch. To lift this mechanical hatch, you need the strength of a third or fourth level Stellar rank martial artist.”
“Third or fourth level Stellar rank?” Luo Feng immediately shook his head.
There was no way he could lift it.
The gap was simply too great.
“Can I destroy it directly? With the Crimson Mixed Copper Mother fragment?” Luo Feng asked.
“The hatch is made from Black Yttrium. Destroy it directly? I already told you, even Universe level experts need tremendous effort. The Crimson Mixed Copper Mother fragment is certainly powerful, but with your current strength…” Babata paused before continuing. “Right. Here’s what you need to do. Insert this underneath the gap beneath the hatch.”
A strange tool appeared before Luo Feng.
At first glance, it resembled an axe.
Its blade was incredibly thin, around three metres long and more than a metre wide.
It was an oddly shaped tool.
“Just slide the ultra thin edge into the gap between the hatch and the floor,” Babata instructed.
“Understood.”
With a thought from Luo Feng, the leaves of the Cloud Contact Vine rapidly extended.
The Cloud Contact Vine armour completely enveloped his body.
He walked across the dust covered floor towards the spacecraft.
“The outer hatch.”
Floating before it, Luo Feng grasped the gap in the hatch with both hands and exerted all his strength.
“Open!”
Crash!
The hatch swung open, revealing a corridor just over thirty metres long.
Both walls of the corridor were covered with countless tiny holes rather than glass panels as Luo Feng had imagined.
“So this is the laser corridor?”
Luo Feng took a deep breath.
The Soaring Shuttle automatically transformed into the Heavy Mountain Shield, protecting his body.
Whoosh!
He charged forward.
Whoosh. Whoosh. Whoosh…
Brilliant white beams instantly lit up, crossing the entire corridor.
Some of the lasers even appeared to detect Luo Feng, as the holes actually adjusted their angles and fired directly at him.
The speed of light was…
Three hundred thousand kilometres per second.
Even the Golden Horned Beast would have been unable to dodge.
Luo Feng stood even less chance.
Boom!
Some lasers struck the Heavy Mountain Shield, which then smashed into Luo Feng.
Other laser beams struck Luo Feng directly.
In that single instant, more than ten laser beams hit him.
Inside the corridor…
Luo Feng, who had been charging forward at high speed, was blasted backwards even faster.
He skidded dozens of metres across the ground before crashing into the flagship’s metal wall.
“Luo Feng, what are you doing?” Babata shouted.
“Didn’t you tell me to rush in and insert this tool beneath the gap under the hatch?” Luo Feng rubbed his chest. “If I don’t charge in myself, am I supposed to use spirit force to control it? The moment it entered, the lasers would probably destroy it.”
Luo Feng had complete confidence in the Cloud Contact Vine.
Its initial cultivation had already made it exceptionally powerful.
Afterwards it had been fed Wood Sprouts Crystals.
By now, the Cloud Contact Vine’s strength was roughly equivalent to a seventh or eighth level Planetary rank expert.
If it fought Luo Feng directly, unless Luo Feng used the Crimson Mixed Copper Mother fragment, he genuinely would not be its match.
Its incredible defence was exactly why Luo Feng had dared charge inside.
“It’s fine. This tool isn’t that easy to damage,” Babata said. “Just control it with your spirit force.”
“That makes things much simpler.”
After hearing Babata’s explanation, Luo Feng stopped worrying about whether the tool was fragile.
After all, these were lasers capable of killing Planetary rank experts.
…
Stepping through the outer hatch once again…
Luo Feng used his spirit force to control the axe like tool.
Nineteen tough strands of spirit force wrapped around it simultaneously.
Whoosh!
The axe transformed into a streak of light.
Smack!
A white laser struck it, blasting the axe straight back outside.
“It really wasn’t damaged?”
Luo Feng continued controlling the axe with his spirit force.
“The lasers are too fast. What should I do?”
His eyes swept across the corridor before he quickly made up his mind.
“Heavy Mountain Shield.”
The Soaring Shuttle separated into 365 blades before rapidly reforming into the Heavy Mountain Shield.
The Heavy Mountain Shield covered the axe like tool while remaining close to the ground.
“Go.”
A cold light flashed through Luo Feng’s eyes.
Whoosh!
The Heavy Mountain Shield, together with the axe beneath it, shot forward close to the floor like lightning.
At the same instant, the lasers fired.
Bang!
The lasers struck the Heavy Mountain Shield.
“Separate.”
The Heavy Mountain Shield instantly broke apart into its 365 blades.
The numerous blades immediately drew the majority of the laser fire.
Meanwhile, the axe beneath them shot forward along the floor like a bolt of lightning and slid straight into the gap.
Naturally, there was an extremely tiny gap between the Black Yttrium hatch and the corridor floor.
Screech!
The ultra thin blade of the axe forced its way inside.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
The axe emitted a strange sound.
Then the Black Yttrium hatch actually began rising slowly.
Beneath the hatch sat the axe.
Its originally ultra thin blade had split into two layers.
The upper layer continuously pushed upwards, steadily lifting the entire hatch.
The sight left Luo Feng dumbfounded.
“Babata, didn’t you say it required the strength of a third or fourth level Stellar rank expert to lift this hatch?” Luo Feng asked in astonishment.
“You didn’t think about what I gave you. This is a Heavy Force Jack. Well, in the universal language it’s called ‘xxx’,” Babata explained. “It’s basically the equivalent of what humans call a jack. You have to remember that maintaining spacecraft requires all kinds of specialised tools. Since I was building a spacecraft before, of course I prepared plenty of equipment. The Heavy Force Jack is just one of them.”
“For example, if part of a spacecraft becomes damaged or jammed and martial artists can’t move it, what do they use? They use the Heavy Force Jack.” Babata said proudly. “The technology behind this thing is extremely advanced.”
Luo Feng finally understood.
“Luo Feng, what are you waiting for? Get inside,” Babata urged.
Luo Feng looked towards the end of the laser corridor.
The hatch had already been raised over a metre high.
The spacecraft maintenance tool, the Heavy Force Jack, continued pushing it higher.
