CHAPTER 738: CHAPTER 737: DESPERATE MEASURES, AN UNEXPECTED VISITOR

This familiar heavy sword clearly belonged to the Bloodthirsty Emperor Kadas.

Although he only had the strength of a G-level Blood Ability User, this sword strike had the force of a B-level.

Had Lu Zixun not increased in strength, he might very well have perished under that strike.

"I didn’t expect you to be able to withstand that sword strike."

While recapturing his heavy sword, Kadas, his body radiating Blood Energy, kicked out.

The heavy sword came slashing down once more.

The Destiny Roulette appeared in the air, and Lu Zixun’s energy poured out, knocking Kadas to the ground.

"Is that all?"

Sensing the Blood Energy on Kadas, Lu Zixun instantly understood why that strike held such power.

However, it was merely a temporary boost.

After all, Lu Zixun was a bona fide B-level warrior, whose mere energy was enough to suffocate Kadas, let alone use magic.

As Lu Zixun prepared to finish Kadas with a single blow, the Night Evil Sword just raised when the space around them began to twist.

Han Mo appeared beside Kadas, and after placing his hand on him, the two disappeared from before Lu Zixun.

Watching this scene, Lu Zixun narrowed his eyes and sheathed the Night Evil Sword.

The method of escaping through the Void was no longer novel before Lu Zixun.

He could even pursue them if necessary, but saw no need to do so.

Re-engaging in the firefight, Lu Zixun earned considerable favor from the Elves.

After saving several Elves who should have died at the hands of the Insect Clan, Lu Zixun faintly felt that the barrier restricting him had loosened slightly.

Defy Fate?

The words appeared in his mind, and Lu Zixun was somewhat enlightened.

Perhaps the way to ascend to A-level and become Divine was to reverse fate.

Realizing this, Lu Zixun increased his pace in rescuing others.

After pushing back the Insect Tide, Lu Zixun returned to the Insect Slaying Zone.

Looking at the destruction in the Insect Slaying Zone, Lu Zixun fell silent.

"Many Spiritual Ability Users in the Insect Slaying Zone have contracted Evil Energy; this place needs to be quarantined."

Pointing at several Spiritual Ability Users with varying expressions, Long Jiuri sighed, "I hadn’t anticipated the Insect Clan and the Lord of Sin having such a connection; that was indeed an oversight."

"Nobody expected this to happen; I should have thought of it earlier myself."

After consoling Long Jiuri, Lu Zixun felt somewhat annoyed.

Back in human society, they all knew the Insect Clan was an alien invading species.

Yet, upon seeing the Insect Clan in Crimson Land, Lu Zixun thought they had made a mistake and quickly dismissed the matter from his mind.

Now a significant problem had arisen.

"How to quarantine this Evil Energy is an issue."

Absently extinguishing a resurgence of Evil Energy, Long Jiuri pondered, "Perhaps we could try the most straightforward method."

"By employing Spiritual Ability Users with Extraordinary Power to slowly handle it?"

Lu Zixun questioned and seeing Long Jiuri nod his confirmation, Lu Zixun replied thoughtfully, "That would work, though blunt, it’s also the most convenient and quick way."

"Indeed, relying solely on quarantine might not suffice, who knows if it will rapidly proliferate given that anything is possible."

Within a few brief exchanges, the two devised a plan.

Long Jiuri began the handling process, while Lu Zixun ventured beyond the borders of the Dark World.

Waiting idly and allowing robots to enter the Dark World in search of materials would take too long.

For Fusion World, what was needed most now was time.

As Long Jiuri confirmed that Beta was still in the nine-layered world, Lu Zixun decided to take a risk and enter the Dark World alone.

Given his current B-level strength, combined with Sky Splitting ability, as long as it wasn’t a fatal blow, Lu Zixun had a chance to turn around his fate.

After delegating his duties to Ge Changming, the moment Lu Zixun stepped into the Dark World, the bottleneck to ascending to A-level loosened further.

Lu Zixun narrowed his eyes.

That is to say, his current actions were contrary to fate.

It seemed he needed to be extra cautious going forward.

...

The light in the Dark World stemmed from a purple moon in the sky.

The terrain of the entire world was also purple with a viscous feel to the touch.

It resembled the Fungus Blanket of the Insect Clan but differed; the ground in the Dark World felt more like a living entity.

Lu Zixun, walking upon it, could even feel it undulating beneath him.

As he walked and collected materials from the Dark World, Lu Zixun also continually used his Extraordinary Power to eradicate the Evil Energy encroaching around him, achieving Three-in-One.

"It’s been a long time since anyone has entered this world, hasn’t it? From the looks of it, you’re a human?"

While Lu Zixun concentrated on his search, a hoarse voice reached his ears.

Lu Zixun’s heart tightened.

Following the direction of the voice, an old man, hunchbacked and leaning on a cane, appeared within his view.

There was no energy flow around him.

But Spiritual Energy couldn’t probe him.

Had Lu Zixun not known he was in the Dark World, he would probably have thought this was just an ordinary old man.

"Surprised?"

The old man covered his mouth with his left fist and coughed lightly, "Sorry, I probably frightened you earlier. Please forgive my rudeness; it’s been a long time since I’ve spoken to a living being."

Narrowing his brows, Lu Zixun cautiously observed the old man, "Old sir, may I ask why you are here? From your tone, you’ve been here for many years."

"Yes, many years in this godforsaken place; I don’t even know how many years it’s been."

The old man chuckled lightly, possibly breathless from earlier excitement. After pausing, he continued, "Oh, I forgot about basic human politeness. My name is Carl Dinger, and I am an inventor."

Hearing the word ’inventor,’ Lu Zixun narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Senior Dinger, are you not from this world?"

"Of course I’m not from this world."

Raising his head to look at Lu Zixun, Carl Dinger forcefully tapped his cane twice, "If it hadn’t been for bad luck bringing me to this civilization, I would be dominating the universe by now."

High-level dimensional life form, plus some inexplicable technology — it was normal that Spiritual Energy could not detect anything.

However, now, Lu Zixun faced another problem, how Carl Dinger had come to Blue Star.

"Young fellow, don’t worry. Your civilization is too weak and far from reaching my standards for looting."

Carl Dinger gave Lu Zixun a penetrating look, his mouth curved upward, "Now, I want to ask you for a favor. If you can help, I can teach you how to avoid the corrosion of this Evil Energy. What do you think of this deal?"
