Chapter 1017: Insufficient Energy
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
The Warpsea Lotus was the only water-attributed plant-type mystical armament. Water had the trait of encompassing all things, so it made sense that the Warpsea Lotus was the last Mystical Armament to be added into the integration. By using its water attribute, it could thoroughly merge together the Seven Plants of the Cloud Sea in one go.
At present, the eccentric Fringe Mountain Leaf had yet to be integrated, so Radix was rather curious as to the reason Xia Fei had pulled out the Warpsea Lotus.
“The Warpsea Lotus is a catalyst, so you taking it out now is a little early. You should first think of a way to subdue the Fringe Mountain Leaf,” Radix advised him.Xia Fei replied, “The Peacock Blue has no reaction to the Fringe Mountain Leaf, which is very abnormal. Right now, I need to completely consider the relationship between these last two of the Seven Plants of the Cloud Sea. Let’s see if the Fringe Mountain Leaf will interact with the Warpsea Lotus or not.”
It was not hard to understand Xia Fei’s method. It was a deductive method. Since there was no chemistry between the Fringe Mountain Leaf and Peacock Blue, he might as well see if the Warpsea Lotus would have an effect.
But the result was very disappointing. The Warpsea Lotus and Fringe Mountain Leaf acted like strangers, both of them ignoring each other. The leaf was still that strange maple leaf that lay proudly on the ground.
Frowning, Xia Fei prepared to put these two Plant-type Mystical Armaments away. A battle was going on at the Cosmic Gate, and Xia Fei did not want to waste any time, so he was planning on heading over.
Although the complete form of the Plant Mystical Armament would have been very helpful to Xia Fei, it was not like he could force it, right? If he kept waiting, the Cosmic Gate might be lost!
Suddenly, as Xia Fei’s arm touched the Warpsea Lotus and the Fringe Mountain Leaf at the same time, Peacock Blue suddenly rushed out and swept out at the two Mystical Armaments. Soon after, both the Fringe Mountain Leaf and the Warpsea Lotus exerted their power and began to resist the intrusion of Peacock Blue!
“Ah! So that was it!” Radix was startled, his eyes flashing as he said, “It turns out that the Warpsea Lotus isn’t the last to be integrated! Rather, it needs to be brought together with the Fringe Mountain Leaf and Peacock Blue to produce a reaction!”Xia Fei’s inadvertent action had started a new battle!
This time, Xia Fei needed to subdue both the Warpsea Lotus and the Fringe Mountain Leaf! Only then could he reach the ultimate goal of integrating all Seven Plants of the Cloud Sea!
This time, Xia Fei needed to deal with those Plant-type Mystical Armaments all at once!
It was the first time and the last time. If Xia Fei succeeded, he would be the first in history to obtain the complete form of the Plant-type Mystical Armament!
…
The Cosmic Gate. The Abyss. A hellish whirl.
No matter how intimidating those names were, none of them could fully describe the ferocity of the battle.
For a whole twenty-four hours, the Inverse attacked the Cosmic Gate in wave after vicious wave, gripped by a heedless insanity that bordered on despair. It was as if the Inverse possessed limitless combat power and an infinite army.
Moreover, the Inverse seemed to have their finger on the pulse of the Law Realm. They had first sent their weakest force and then followed up with forces that were stronger and stronger, going from those with dark-blue eyes to mysterious purple eyes and then to those with crimson eyes. While the Law Realm had barely managed to hold against the three waves of Inverse, it had come at great sacrifice.
After all, these Law Realm warriors weren’t like Hosu, who was a Soul Hunter that grew stronger the more he killed. The Law Realm relied entirely on energy, and by now, many warriors were utterly exhausted and resisting fatigue as they struggled to stand.
There were two things that no one could have predicted: the super-expert Hosu, and Xia Fei’s fleet of Titans!
(If you have problems with this website, please continue reading your novel on our new website myTHANKS!)
No one could have expected that Xia Fei would bring a fleet of ten of these enormous ships! Only one of these Titans was fully equipped, with the other nine missing something or other, like a warp drive, a shield, or even their radar system.
But everyone had to admit that these incomplete Titans had saved the Law Realm!
Upon learning that the Inverse were threatening the Cosmic Gate, Xia Fei had immediately altered his orders to the Mech race, having them prioritize the weapon systems of the Titans over everything, with the energy systems being second, the energy shields being third, and the warp engine being far behind.
Under this offensively-minded guidance, Dimsky had led the Mech race in endless work, allowing them to complete the weapon systems of the ten Titans ahead of time, satisfying the minimum requirements Xia Fei had for the Titans: the ability to shoot, and bring the enemy down with them!
Madmen were madmen. A normal person would first install the energy, engine, and radar. After all, these were the foundations of a warship. Without those three, a warship would be extremely unstable.
But Xia Fei was the exact opposite. He didn’t care if the Titan was stable, only if it could kill the enemy!
At this moment, the ten majestic superwarships surrounded the Cosmic Gate. If the Inverse attacked, the Doomsday weapons would fire in unison, sending them back wherever they came from!
With the Titans backing them up, the Law Realm warriors were under much less pressure. Otherwise, they would have been laid out flat on their backs from the fierce melees by now.
The Titans were not just enormously helpful to the Law Realm; they had also carried a significant meaning to Hosu.
Soul Hunters needed to constantly absorb soul power to maintain their combat state, and when the Titans killed the Inverse, the souls of the Inverse slain would all become Hosu’s. Hosu grew stronger and stronger, and he was soon able to sustain a virtuous cycle. While he was using a lot of energy in battle, he was still able to gather even more energy.
After all, the Inverse were using all their strength to battle the countless elites of the Law Realm. Warriors were dying every second, and the amount of soul power Hosu was accumulating was also rising by the second!
After three waves, the Inverse seemed to have stopped, and the Law Realm warriors and Founders had a rare moment of respite. The sight of all those warriors splayed out around the Cosmic Gate in tatters was enough for one to know how challenging the battle had been. It had to be understood that even the wars between the Gods and Demons hadn’t lasted for more than twenty-four hours!
—
The six Founders and Hosu gathered together to discuss countermeasures. Through this battle, these experts that had been strangers to each other were now bosom friends, comrades who had fought alongside each other.
This camaraderie was forged from blood! This was particularly true for the heavily injured Ocean. Hosu had pulled him back from the brink many times, and he utterly adored this sole super-expert of the universe.
“Letting this go on is no solution. While the Inverse haven’t been able to get through yet, we won’t be able to last for too much longer,” Crane said as he grit his teeth. He was clearly very tired.
Among all the experts, Crane was the second-most injured. Xia Fei’s strike had not been faked, thrusting into Crane’s body. If not for Xia Fei’s incredible control, a slight tremble of his wrist would have taken Crane’s life.
Xia Gucheng nodded as he used an Origin Crystal to recover and made a call to the Mech race’s number one general and the admiral of the Titan fleet, Warstar, to ask him about the situation.
“I need even more Origin Crystals, whether they’re refined or not. I need them all! The more the better,” the stern Warstar replied.
The Founders grimaced, because Warstar wasn’t asking for low-tier Origin Crystals. His bottom line was Tier 7!
Titans were able to exhibit such enormous power because of their prodigious energy systems. The only flaw of this system was that it needed high-grade energy to sustain itself. Energy of low quality would severely drop the Titan’s power.
Grand Ancestor Xia Gucheng was planning to use up a precious Tier 8 crystal, but when he heard these words, he immediately put down the black crystal and said, “The Titans are a powerful aid to us, so we need to ensure the fleet’s energy supply. We will use lower-quality crystals.”
Everyone nodded in agreement, and the Skywing warriors soon spread the order of the Founders throughout the battlefield, gathering up the high-quality crystals from everyone and delivering them to Warstar.
“How long can this energy sustain your fleet?” Xia Gucheng sternly asked.
Warstar glanced at the crystals behind him and replied, “Twelve salvos at most.”
This was not good news, and everyone’s faces darkened. No one had expected the Titans to need that much energy. It had only been twenty-four hours, and the ten Titans had already used up the vast stockpile of high-grade crystals. They were squeezing out these crystals from between their teeth, and the Law Realm no longer had any high-grade crystals to give to the Titan fleet!
Xia Gucheng clenched his teeth and said, “If I had known, I would have put more work into raising a large group of Energy Masters! Then we wouldn’t be in such an awkward situation!”
Hosu shook his head. “High-level energy masters were also controlled by the Inverse. Why did you think it was so difficult for the Law Realm to produce high-level Energy Masters? It was all because Constant and his lot were messing with them. They weren’t just controlling the number of Law Gods and Founders, but also the number of Energy Masters, and even the number of high-quality Origin Crystals!
“Moreover, the level of this battle is far too high, far beyond what the Law Realm can take.”
Everyone loathed the Founders led by Constant so much that they gnashed their teeth in rage! If not for their scheming, the Law Realm would have long ago produced a large number of Founders and top-class Energy Masters!
The Law Realm, which had considered itself to have the greatest energy reserves in the universe, was now in an embarrassing energy shortage. Truly, it was only when fighting with the formidable Inverse that the Law Realm warriors realized that they weren’t just lacking in combat power, they were also unthinkably poor!
“Don’t panic. My energy reserves are already at above fifty percent. If we keep this up, I will have accumulated enough energy to Seal the Cosmic Gate!” Hosu said. “Once the Cosmic Gate is Sealed, we will have enough time to rest and stage a comeback! Then we can see who will win this battle!”
Hosu’s words were naturally very encouraging. So long as the Cosmic Gate was resealed, there was still hope!
But all the experts knew that Hosu resealing the Cosmic Gate required energy!
No matter what, the Law Realm had to hold on! They had to ensure that Hosu used as little energy as possible so that he could accumulate enough energy to reseal the Cosmic Gate. This was an extremely difficult mission!
At that moment, the war drums began to thunder!
The Inverse’s fourth attack wave had begun!
The Law Realm warriors gathered their resolve and dragged their tired and wounded bodies into formation, their faces pale.
Everyone knew that each Inverse attack wave was stronger than the last. This time, the Law Realm would have to face an even tougher trial! Things were not looking good!
Xia Gucheng smiled bitterly as he raised his head toward the sea of stars. “While we’re fighting for our lives here, I wonder what Xia Fei is doing? If he were here, he would definitely come up with some strange idea that could actually work.”
The Founders all shrugged helplessly. They had all seen Xia Fei before and knew that while he wasn’t a Founder, he had the combat power of a Founder!
He also had an unconventional style. The Law Realm’s chances of victory were slim, and what it needed was a monster like Xia Fei!
After all, he was the most unconventional strategist in the Law Realm! Beyond all logic and reason!
