Lu Sheng went from eating the King's heart to using Deep Blue and the laws of the universe to temporarily suppressing the heart and wrapping it up slowly. This process did not take more than three hours.
Most of the time was wasted on hunting down the black panther and slaughtering the other scattered bases.
Throwing away all restraints, they sped up instead of slowing down.
When it was almost noon, the four arrived at the first resupply point of their journey — Valjiani City.
This was once the largest transportation hub in the country, but now it was a dead city.
Lu Sheng's group of four searched the outskirts for some supplies. They found a car, filled it with gas, and continued forward.
This time, the car was a mix of solar and gasoline. After destroying a gas station, they did not have to worry about power for a few days. As for a few days later, they would have long reached their destination. Naturally, they did not have to worry about that.
With a car, the group instantly felt much more relaxed.
Lu Sheng carefully observed the King's heart that he had wrapped up in his body after eating it. The strands of strange grey energy that his heart produced were circulating in his body, gradually strengthening his already powerful body.
This strengthening did not seem to be purely physical. It had a strange feeling of nothingness.
He didn't quite understand the cultivation method that Indigo had deduced this time. Although he could recall the entire deduction process at any time. But even if he could recall the process, he couldn't recreate it with his own hands.
The converted gray energy seemed to be a combination of the power of nothingness and the various attributes that Lu Sheng controlled.
This new power was like a tree that was rooted in the power of nothingness and Lu Sheng's various attributes. It constantly stretched out its roots and absorbed all other energies to strengthen itself.
Lu Sheng named the gray energy — the power of the gray mist.
The gray mist power was not more powerful than the power of nothingness. If it touched the power of nothingness, it would be instantly destroyed. But this power had a terrifying characteristic.
That was, within a certain distance, it could transform all other energies into the power of the gray mist.
The power of nothingness was constantly devoured by the gray mist power, gradually reducing the total amount of the King's heart.
During this process, as the total amount of the gray fog increased, the suction force also increased.
All of the power in Lu Sheng's body, even the power of his main body deep in his heart, was being converted by the strange devouring ability of the gray fog.
By the time he realized it, the power of the gray fog had completely occupied every inch of his body.
Kai's heart and body were like two batteries, constantly transforming a massive amount of the power of the gray fog into this body.
At this moment, they finally arrived at the Pearl Strait.
…
…
The blue seawater rolled up a white line and hit the black reef on the shore. The water splashed high up into the air and fell back down along with the snowflakes falling from the sky. It melted into the sea and disappeared.
Lu Sheng and the other three stood on the beach of the Pearl Strait. They could only see a small, isolated port on the shore. Inside the semi-circular port, there were only a few small and medium-sized fishing boats floating on the water.
Not a single large merchant ship or transport ship could be seen.
The seawater in the harbor was murky and still. Lu Sheng couldn't even sense any signs of life.
"The seawater here seems dead …" Ma Ke couldn't help but whisper.
He also felt a faint sense of unease.
"Teacher, can we only pass through the strait from here?" Ken asked in a low voice.
"We can only go by boat. There's no other way." Lu Sheng nodded. "If there was, I wouldn't have chosen such a troublesome method."
The disciples all had solemn expressions.
There was obviously some hidden danger under the sea of the port. If even they could feel it, there was no way their teacher wouldn't know.
If they went out to sea so rashly, something big would definitely happen.
"But how did the ordinary refugees and survivors get to Aso?" Andy couldn't help but ask.
"I guess this used to be a safe route. But that was in the past. "Ken squatted down on the beach not far away and picked up a twisted piece that looked like a ship's iron plate.
"It was broken no more than two days ago. There's also some kind of sharp scratch on it. "He pinched the iron plate and said in a low voice.
"Then we're really unlucky." Ma Ke said helplessly. He looked at Lu Sheng. "Teacher, what do you think now …"
Lu Sheng was silent. The interface frame of the Ten-Hearted Illusory Fiend Fist appeared before his eyes.
"Assassination Fist, Ten-Hearted Illusory Fiend Fist, Rank 31. (Special traits. Bewitching Ten Rings, Unseen Hand, Movement Without Inertia, Body of Disillusionment.) "
The Ten-Hearted Illusory Fiend Fist was originally purely physical. After the appearance of the gray mist that could devour everything, its nature changed rapidly.
Even Lu Sheng couldn't be sure of the effects of the newly appeared Unseen Hand and Body of Disillusionment.
This was like a chemistry experiment. He might not be able to perfectly understand the final product of the experiment.
He still had to explore it carefully.
Lu Sheng walked slowly to the port. He walked along the somewhat rotten wooden plank all the way to the end.
On both sides of the gray plank were two rows of white railings that had been torn apart by some kind of great force.
Lu Sheng squatted down and extended his left hand slowly into the pale yellow seawater.
Without a sound, wisps of gray spread from the spot where his hand touched the seawater, spreading and spreading into the depths of the seawater.
As he stood up, Lu Sheng could still sense that the gray mist power he released into the seawater was combining with the seawater and forming something shocking.
This was the first time he used the gray mist power.
This was a peculiar power derived from Deep Blue's derivation of the heart of a World King with the power of nothingness. Lu Sheng wasn't sure what its exact effects were.
However, his instincts told him that this power could solve the problem before him.
If it were an ordinary person, no matter how powerful they were, they would not be able to resist the temptation of eating a World King's heart. The only result would be the Void Spirit World King taking over their bodies and becoming their second representative.
However, Lu Sheng was different. When the power of nothingness attempted to take over his body, he realized that he couldn't digest it. Hence, he decided to let his main body endure it. Then, he used Deep Blue to derive a cultivation method that could digest the power of nothingness.
Using his Mental Energy, he mastered it. In the end, he transformed the gray mist power into an unknown power.
In fact, Lu Sheng felt that the gray mist power wasn't pure energy. Instead, it was like some kind of unique derivative that he couldn't put his finger on.
"Vroom."
The sound of an engine suddenly came from a nearby ship.
Ken walked up to Lu Sheng, and reminded him in a low voice, "Teacher, we found a usable ship over there. Let's go over there first."
"Mm-hm." Lu Sheng nodded. He stood up and returned to the shore. He quickly boarded the ship that Andy and the others had started.
In the empty harbor, only the sound of the ship's engine could be heard. The sound reverberated continuously. It was mixed with the sound of waves crashing against the reefs. It sounded exceptionally lonely.
Snow kept falling from the gray sky.
The ship that was only five meters long slowly left the harbor with Lu Sheng and the others on board.
On the turbulent sea, the ship was like a small dinghy on a torrent. A random wave could capsize the ship.
Lu Sheng stood at the bow of the ship. He looked at the sea in front of him.
White waves surged and crashed against the side of the ship.
In his daze, he seemed to see a dark blue face in the depths of the sea. It was calmly looking at him.
"Splash."
A wave swept past, and the face disappeared in a flash.
Lu Sheng came back to his senses.
"Speed up," he turned around and ordered.
Andy responded. He increased the horsepower of the engine at the back of the ship.
Below the ship, in the deep sea.
A huge shadow with the tail of a fish and the body of a human slowly appeared from the gray light on the surface of the sea.
It was a huge fan-shaped monster with nine human heads.
Each of its heads looked like they were pierced by a straight iron rod. The bottom of the iron rod was connected to its thick neck.
The nine heads formed a huge folding fan, and each head had a strange face.
There were men and women, old and young. But all of their faces had one thing in common. They were expressionless …
The ship that was slowly moving on the sea was only about the size of one of the monster's fingers …
They watched the ship slowly leave.
The monster reached out its hand. A strange yellow mist lingered between its five slender fingers.
When the ship had completely disappeared from their sight.
The monster turned around and slowly swam towards the depths of the sea. It slowly disappeared into the deep darkness.
…
…
Lu Sheng slowly opened his eyes.
Just now, he seemed to have seen the lonely and painful creature hiding in the depths of the harbor.
The Unseen Hand's ability allowed him to build a bridge of communication with the monster's mind.
This was also the reason why the terrifyingly powerful monster didn't eat the ship right away.
If possible, Lu Sheng didn't want to destroy the super-powered universe that was compressed to the extreme.
A monster that was able to grow in this universe could be predicted to be unimaginably powerful when it came to other universes.
The power of nothingness had seeped into this universe too much.
The universe itself was constantly releasing all of its potential to resist the erosion of the power of nothingness.
This was the last struggle of the entire universe.
And that monster was born in the place where the power of nothingness and the various powers of the universe intersected.
It wasn't a part of nothingness, nor a part of the universe.
It was just a lonely deformed thing.
It was born from the despair and pain of living beings, but it also hid the last bit of hope for survival.
It was called Cicero Tower, which meant the god that saved seafarers.
It constantly devoured the ships and the living beings on the sea. Turning them into a part of itself. Absorbing their desire to survive, absorbing the sturdy materials of the ships. Absorbing the last bit of pain and despair of all seafarers.
It yearned for hope, but was turned into chains by the despair of countless living beings, tightly bound to the deep sea. It couldn't ask for help, couldn't break free, couldn't communicate.
And the Unseen Hand formed by Lu Sheng's gray mist power gave it a glimmer of hope, a glimmer of promise.
In any case, this was the only existence that could communicate with it, so it chose to believe.
