The black pyramid tried to flee, but it was rooted by the effects of [Fists of the Silent Sea: Soar].
Zhang Lie snapped his fingers. Gold Comet morphed into a beam of light and cut apart the black pyramid.
"Just a mobile warship, not the cruiser itself..."
The death spirits had developed a unique form of spiritual architecture which could transmute corpses and living matter into black spirits and void spirits respectively. Beyond that, they had also constructed specialized battleships: a large black pyramid and three smaller ones.
The large pyramid was the main cruiser, whereas the three smaller pyramids were mobile warships that served to protect it. The cruiser had a whole slew of abilities. Not only could it be used in battle, it was the main venue in which the death spirits transmuted corpses into black spirits.
Each of the three smaller pyramids was able to summon a storm in the desert in order to shield the main cruiser.
As a race that thrived off invasion, the death spirits were far more developed on this front than the other superior races.
'If I don't manage to find the main cruiser, I won't be able to deal with the black spirits."
Thankfully, Zhang Lie's senses were very developed, and he was able to sense the large pyramid. He flew toward it, and it quickly appeared in sight.
Just then, a purple laser beam lit up the entire night. It was so bright it tinted even the black sand into purple. A huge beam of light shot toward Zhang Lie, but before Zhang Lie could make a move, Gold Comet had split the beam in half with its scythe.
Zhang Lie pointed to his front. "Get rid of that pyramid."
Gold Comet shot forward in a beam of light, its scythes whirling, slicing apart the black pyramid layer by layer."
Black fog drifted out of the pyramid and transformed into huge black bandages, which tried to stop Gold Comet's advance. However, the bandages were no match for Gold Comet's scythes—Gold Comet now had strength comparable to that of a king of a superior world.
As Gold Comet continued slicing apart bandage after bandage, more shot out from the black pyramid. Gold Comet cut the cloth apart into ribbons, over and over again, until the flow of cloth finally slowed.
"[The Boundless Blade: Yawning Wave]!" Zhang Lie extended his pointer finger like a sword, and water-attuned genetic energy gathered around it. As he directed his finger toward the pyramid, sword energy erupted like a wave which covered up the sky, sliced apart all the bandages, and cut the top half of the pyramid off.
The existence within the pyramid stilled.
Upon witnessing what lay within, Zhang Lie grew enraged.
The interior of the black pyramid was filled with the bones of various lifeforms. The black spirits were performing a cursed ritual to transform whatever lifeforms they had captured into black and void spirits.
Atop a stone altar, an alien screamed. The black bandages that surrounded its body tore it apart and devoured it.
All the bones that were gathered in the pyramid had come from such aliens, sacrificed and devoured one by one… Upon recalling how many void spirits there were in the black desert, Zhang Lie's gaze glinted.
Black genetic energy gushed out of his feet. As though a portal to the underworld had opened, a pillar of genetic energy rose into the air, roaring like fire. As Zhang Lie unleashed this technique, even Gold Comet cowered in fear, not daring to approach him.
"[Ninecarp Transformation]!" A black serpent materialized behind Zhang Lie, by now so large and so developed that it resembled the world-swallowing serpent Jormungandr. It let out a threatening hiss as its scales clicked together. Its massive body stretched toward the sky, like a titanic beast of yore.
"[Fists of the Silent Sea: Fade]!" The serpent pounced forward and swallowed up the entire black pyramid.
Black cloth bandages stretched out of the pyramid like a long river, dancing through the air. They reached out for the serpent, only to be dissolved by its pitch-black genetic energy. Undaunted, more bandages spooled out from within the pyramid.
The master of the pyramid—the black spirit king in charge within—gathered all the energy that the pyramid possessed and used it to generate a giant made of black cloth, who rushed toward the serpent.
Part of its body was dissolved by the black genetic energy, but its body was so thick that its interior wasn't damaged.
The bandages covering the surface of its body melted into black sludge.
"You lamentable existence—you should never have come into existence."
The black serpent coiled around Zhang Lie. Its scales turned a blood-red color and horns protruded from its forehead as it transformed into a dragon of blood. contemporary romance
"[Fists of the Silent Sea: Fade]!" As Zhang Lie punched forward, the blood dragon roared in rage, its howls echoing through the air. The dragon's howls were like Zhang Lie's own. Zhang Lie's anger caused the dragon of blood to redden. Flames erupted from its body as it smashed into the black spirit king in an explosion of cataclysmic strength. The black pyramid was swallowed up in its entirety.
A wave of annihilation covered the sky and the black desert, spreading rapidly and devouring everything it touched. Even Gold Comet, who had evolved into a monarch-grade lifeform, had to avoid the attack.
The explosion was like a black hole that sucked up everything in sight—black sand and the remnants of the black spirits. Shortly after it formed, the black hole closed up with a snick, leaving behind a huge crater in the desert.
Zhang Lie frowned. "This sort of feeling..."
Zhang Lie landed by the crater, whereupon he could clearly sense huge quantities of the energy of the world at the base of the crater.
With a wave of Zhang Lie's hand, the sand within the crater was swept away, leaving behind a tattered coffin. He uncovered the lid, revealing a multi-colored glow.
Zhang Lie was shocked.
The coffin was full of the energy of the world, radiant and reflective. The energy was so densely packed that it had condensed into a liquid form, and there was enough energy within the coffin to power a superior world.
Of course, the energy of a superior world was more advanced in quality, though the fact that the energy within the coffin matched the quantity was shocking enough.
"It would take at least three or four large worlds, two dozen medium-sized worlds, and countless small worlds to gather so much energy..."
If he weren't mistaken, the black spirits had stored all the energy of the world they had accumulated in that coffin. It had been protected so securely that it had survived Zhang Lie's assault even when the black spirit king itself did not.
Just what were the black spirits trying to do, claim all the energy of the world in their vicinity?
Zhang Lie frowned as he pondered the question. Were the death spirits trying to incite a war prematurely?
At any rate, Zhang Lie had no intention of returning the energy of the world within the coffin to the neighboring worlds—it was his by right of combat.
Using all this energy to induce the evolution of disaster-grade lifeforms would be a tremendous boon—and it had other uses besides.
"I suppose I can give the ninth prince—no, the new king—a little gift..."
