Chapter 966: Ruins Along the Way
The Sea Lotus desperately tried to break free from Peacock Blue's grasp, returning to the sea of stars as the laws of the universe had decreed, until its next master appeared.
Alas, Peacock Blue was not willing to let it go. After a series of battles, not only had Xia Fei and Furball matured, but Peacock Blue had also become much stronger than before. Its eight blades of grass danced in the air, holding the Sea Lotus tightly in its embrace. No matter how hard the Sea Lotus tried, it could not escape Peacock Blue's control.
Furball and Devil Blade Nirvana glared at it from all sides, making the Sea Lotus shudder, not to mention that Xia Fei's Divine Arrow Heavenly Mark was already aimed at it. All he needed to do was loosen his grip, and Xia Fei would be able to heavily injure the Sea Lotus in an instant.
Based on Xia Fei's previous experience with the Phoenix Tail Stone, when an Immemorial Mystical Armament realized that it could not complete its mission, it would calm down and no longer try to escape. The key was to endure the Immemorial Mystical Armament's initial charge until it ran out of energy and died in its cage!
…
It did not take long for the Sea Lotus to surrender. Compared to when Xia Fei obtained the Phoenix Tail Stone, it was obvious that the Sea Lotus did not struggle for much longer.
Perhaps it truly felt that it could not escape, but the Sea Lotus realized that Xia Fei had made up his mind and no longer tried to break free, letting go of its fate.
Under the contrast of the lush green lotus leaves, the pink flower buds were particularly adorable, with a kind of gentle tenderness.
"Ha! Among the Seven Plants of the Cloud Sea, the prettiest is probably the Sea Crossing Lotus. Even though the Scatterstar Chrysanthemum is pretty, those little flowers used to slit throats are too sharp. They are not as soft as the Sea Crossing Lotus. It's like someone's daughter," Yuan said proudly.
Xia Fei nodded. "Immemorial Mystical Armaments aren't just for show. I wonder what will happen if the Sea Lotus and Peacock Blue combine?"
Yuan thought about it for a moment before saying, "The Sea Lotus has the ability to swim, and it can gather water from the universe for its own use. However, I can't say for sure what effect Peacock Blue will have after subduing the Sea Lotus. After all, the Sea Lotus is probably the least outstanding of the Seven Plants of the Cloud Sea. I've heard of Peacock Blue's toughness, the Nine Night Plum's venom, the Scattered Star Chrysanthemum's sharpness, and the Unparting Pine's toughness, but I've never heard of the Sea Lotus being outstanding in any way."
This was indeed a strange matter. As an Immemorial Mystical Armament, the Sea Crossbow Lotus was completely unknown and didn't have any special attributes that people praised. It wasn't like the other six Mystical Armaments, each of which had their own unique abilities. The only thing that people had heard of was the Sea Crossbow Lotus' ability to control water.
"No matter what, we'll know once we try," Xia Fei said in a deep voice.
…
Inside the pearl space, Xia Fei was sweating profusely, his expression dark.
He had failed again and again, but all of his attempts had failed! Xia Fei discovered that even though he had obtained the Sea Warping Lotus, he was unable to subdue it!
This had never happened before! No matter how difficult it was, Xia Fei would always be able to find a way to subdue an Immemorial Mystical Armament. Only this Sea Warping Lotus was something that Xia Fei was unable to obtain even after exhausting all of his efforts!
"This is strange! Truly strange! Why is it the Sea Warping Lotus? " Xia Fei gritted his teeth and asked. "The one with the least personality among the Cloud Sea Seven Plants is also the hardest to subdue? Just what kind of logic is this? "
Xia Fei could not make sense of this. In Xia Fei's eyes, the Sea Warping Lotus was nothing more than an Immemorial Mystical Armament. Its abilities were truly nothing much, and Xia Fei felt that any of the other Mystical Armaments would be much stronger than the Sea Warping Lotus.
However, it just so happened that this weakest existence was giving Xia Fei a huge problem. Could it be that the Sea Warping Lotus was truly something that couldn't be subdued?
Xia Fei's expression darkened, and a hint of hostility flashed across his eyes!
Xia Fei had always been clear about what he needed to do, and right now, subduing the Cloud Sea Seven Plants was what he needed to do the most. Whether it was to the Skywing Clan or to Xia Fei himself, obtaining the complete Cloud Sea Seven Plants was of utmost importance!
"Again!"
Xia Fei roared, attempting to subdue the Sea Warping Lotus once more!
…
Xia Fei plopped down on the command chair of the Gemini Star and lit a cheap cigarette for himself, taking two deep puffs.
"I'm at my wit's end. Everyone says that Wuli Song is the toughest man among the Cloud Sea Seven Plants, but I now feel that the Sea Warping Lotus is! That fellow is truly stubborn, unmoved by force or persuasion, refusing to yield no matter what, "Xia Fei casually complained. In just one day, Xia Fei had tried all sorts of methods, but he still fell short at the last moment. Xia Fei had to admit that the Sea Warping Lotus was definitely one of the most difficult opponents he had ever encountered.
Radix furrowed his brows. "Could there be some sort of misunderstanding? I don't think the Sea Warping Lotus is resisting, but rather that it can't dissolve into Peacock Blue. If the Sea Warping Lotus was still alive, it would probably be crying by now. "
Xia Fei was slightly taken aback. Recalling what had just happened, he realized that what Radix said did make some sense. Could the Sea Warping Lotus really be unwilling to yield because it couldn't?
* Squelch *
Xia Fei suddenly heard a soft sound beside him, and only then did he remember that the King of Darkness's unlucky nephew, Wen Cang, was still tied up where he was. Xia Fei was currently in a bad mood, so there was no point in keeping him around. Thus, he raised his blade and cut Wen Cang in two! He absorbed the little energy left in his body and turned his bones to dust!
"Forget it. Let's head back first. After all, the Sea Warping Lotus isn't the last of the Cloud Sea Seven Plants. Even if I accept him, I'm still missing the number one Duanshan Leaf," Xia Fei said with a shrug.
Xia Fei's trip to the Dark Race had definitely been a success, but it was still far from what Xia Fei had requested of himself.
Radix said, "That's all we can do. Let's go back and explain this to Xia Gucheng. Using the Skywing Clan's power to find Duanshan Leaf is the right way to go. We can't waste all our time on the Sea Warping Lotus. Since the Sea Warping Lotus isn't willing to accept you at this stage, let's just leave it for now. In any case, it's not like he can escape now."
Xia Fei stood up and busied himself with the control panel, adjusting the coordinates for the return trip before sitting back down.
"What kind of attribute is Duanshan Leaf? Why is it the number one of the Cloud Sea Seven Plants? "Xia Fei curiously asked.
Radix shook his head. "According to those who have seen Duanshan Leaf, this Immemorial Mystical Armament isn't a plant. It's really just a leaf, a rootless floating leaf."
Xia Fei found this somewhat inconceivable and exclaimed, "A leaf?! That's really strange. To regard a leaf as the number one of the Cloud Sea Seven Plants, are these people crazy? "
Radix said, "The reason why Duanshan Leaf is called Duanshan Leaf is because it can flip an entire mountain with the power of a single leaf! As for how it's done, I can't find it in my database. Perhaps it's because no one has ever subdued it before. "
Xia Fei helplessly smiled. "A single Duanshan Leaf is truly a heaven-defying ability. It looks like the remaining two of the Cloud Sea Seven Plants, the Duanshan Leaf and the Sea Warping Lotus, are both extremely difficult to deal with. I'll have to put in a lot of effort."
Xia Fei shot up from his seat the moment he finished speaking, looking at the distant starry sky with a puzzled expression.
"What's going on?" Radix asked in shock.
Xia Fei pointed at the river of stars outside the transparent porthole and said, "There's a huge ruin here, but neither the radar nor the star map can detect it. That's very unusual!"
Radix followed Xia Fei's gaze, and sure enough, there was a huge collapsed stone pillar beneath the white nebula. It was as wide as a planet and shockingly long!
Aside from that, there were even more man-made rubble floating in that white nebula, appearing and disappearing from time to time.
Xia Fei went to the command deck of the warship and repeatedly used the radar to scan the area several times, but he was unable to detect that huge ruin. It must be mentioned that Xia Fei could clearly see it with his naked eye at this distance, yet the radar was unable to detect it. Unless the radar was broken, it was definitely an unheard of phenomenon!
"How strange. Both the radar and the star map show that there's only a nebula here, yet they missed out on such a huge and mysterious structure in the nebula?!" Radix was surprised.
Xia Fei leaned against the porthole and carefully looked for several seconds. He immediately stopped the warship, opened the hatch, and rushed out.
"There's definitely something strange going on. Let's go down and see what's going on!" Xia Fei sternly said.
* Whoosh ~ *
Moving quickly, Xia Fei arrived in the middle of that white nebula in the blink of an eye.
"What a huge stone pillar. I wonder what kind of technology was used to build this palace. It must've been very majestic back when it stood in this sea of stars!" Xia Fei exclaimed.
Radix furrowed his brows. "Majestic is a must. Just from this debris that's even bigger than a planet, the size of the main palace is probably several hundred planets.
"I just don't get it. What kind of person would build such a huge palace in a nebula? Based on the power of technology, it's completely possible to build such a palace, but what was the point of building it? It's not nice to eat, and it's not easy to live in. It's completely useless. "
Xia Fei said, "Perhaps it's to show how arrogant they are. Many people who love grandiose things like to build special monuments, hoping that their descendants will always remember them. The owner of this debris must've been a powerful person in the universe, and on a whim, he built this palace out of thin air."
Xia Fei traveled through the white nebula as if he was walking through a faint fog.
As Xia Fei ventured deeper, he saw more and more debris, and he seemed to have reached the center of the ruins.
"There seems to be a relatively intact building up ahead." Xia Fei pointed at some gray shadows in the nebula in the distance.
When Xia Fei got closer, he discovered that this was a flight of stairs in the palace that had collapsed. Going up the stairs, he happened to see a few houses that had survived.
* Whoosh ~ *
Xia Fei's expression suddenly turned cold. The Cursed Blade Nirvana appeared, and Peacock Blue flared up. Even Furball instantly raised his guard.
In that instant, Xia Fei went into a defensive stance as if he had discovered something that made him feel uneasy.
"What's wrong now?!" Radix was both surprised and curious.
"Someone's in that house over there. They suddenly appeared out of thin air!" Xia Fei sternly said.
It was no wonder that Xia Fei was panicking. After being chased for two rounds, anyone would be on high alert.
This was when he heard a voice coming from a house in the distance, pouring into Xia Fei's ear.
"Hey, Immemorial Mystical Armaments aren't meant to be used like that."
