Chapter 1072: The Shipbuilder

Rumble!

A small sun erupted in Fang Xi's hand.

Like hand-kneading nuclear fusion, terrifying light and heat impacted the mechanical skeleton dinosaur, causing its metal skeleton to twist and break. . . revealing an intact core.

Clearly, his control over this move had reached the point of effortless mastery.

"Caw caw!"

At this moment, mechanical pterodactyls immediately tore through the clouds, appearing from mid-air and lunging towards Fang Xi.

At the same time, figures flashed in the forest as several princes each unleashed their battle techniques, attacking Fang Xi.

"Radiation Finger!"

"Aether Fist!"

It seemed the mechanical dinosaur just now was merely bait sent to its death; the true trap had only just appeared!

Fang Xi pressed his left hand down and raised his right hand into the air: "Nuclear Pacification Palm: Ten Suns Soaring!"

In an instant, ten 'small suns' appeared around him, erupting violently, revealing a dazzling light of divine patterns!

Above the firmament, those mechanical pterodactyls, impacted by the energy wave, immediately seemed to lose their souls, plummeting straight to the ground.

As for the three who ambushed him, they screamed as they flew backward, with traces of radiation burns on their bodies.

...

Inside the Black Dragon Glory.

"What?"

The wine glass in Kai Sa's hand fell to the ground, emitting a crisp sound. Crimson wine splattered everywhere, but he didn't care in the slightest; he merely propped himself up with both hands on the control panel, staring at the figure on the screen: "To think he could cultivate the 'Nuclear Pacification Palm' to such a level, he's definitely a genius in the path of battle. . . What a pity, when he could clearly flatten everything with brute force, why learn how to build spaceships?"

Nuclear Pacification Palm, Radiation Finger, and so on, are secret battle techniques passed down in the Phoenix imperial family's inherited memories.

If cultivated to a profound level, combined with one's own strength, there's almost a possibility of challenging those in higher realms!

In fact, Kai Sa had also heard a rumor that if one could cultivate these secret arts to their limit, one might even be able to condense 'Concept' power ahead of time!

This is a supreme power that only Red Giant-level immortals can slightly invoke using secret arts!

But as imperial family members, they might grasp it at the Planetary-level, or even Satellite-level!

According to legend, His Majesty the Emperor grasped a trace of Concept power at the Satellite-level, which allowed him to stand out among the many competitors of the previous generation!

"Cultivating the Nuclear Pacification Palm to the tenth level — the 'Ten Suns Soaring' realm, although still far from the thirty-third level of 'challenging those in higher realms' and the ninety-ninth level of condensing the 'Great Sun' Concept, has already proven his potential. . . Immediately raise the rating of Seed No. 999. . ."

Kai Sa immediately gave the order, then felt a little regretful: "If he were to abandon the technological path and only focus on his own cultivation and evolution, he would simply be the number one seed and could be personally noticed by His Majesty the Emperor. . ."

As for them, the Imperial Guards, they could at most kill a few princes and princesses who jumped too high, but for seeded contestants with a number, they couldn't go too far.

If he were the number one seed, he would basically have a fifty percent chance of being sealed as a prince, and in the future, they would be incomparable to him.

In fact, he might even become the object of their loyalty!

Unfortunately, the next scene that unfolded caused Kai Sa's lips to twitch slightly: "Sure enough, he still isn't giving up on building spaceships? Hmph. . . and he still shows a little mercy; that's simply a luxury in the cosmos. . . What a waste of such excellent combat talent."

...

Several years later.

Fang Xi had grown into a handsome young man with blood-red long hair.

He stood up, walked out of the cave, a golden horn on his forehead gleaming under the three blazing suns.

Rumble!

Accompanied by powerful air currents, a black spaceship ascended into the sky.

This spaceship looked utterly miserable; beneath its black paint lay an ugly deck cobbled together from various metals.

"Even so, it's barely usable. . ."

Fang Xi leaped up and entered the spaceship.

"Master, the 'Azure Dragon' is at your service."

"Scan for all unopened ruins on the planet. . ."

Fang Xi stood with his hands behind his back and smiled: "Most importantly, I still need to find the Z9 Fire Source Crystal. . ."

He had mostly completed this Azure Dragon; its engines were even capable of accelerating to light speed!

The only flaw was the lack of sufficient energy.

This type of Z9 crystal could only be found in ruins.

As for artificial synthesis?

Fang Xi was confident he could manufacture it, but just the series of supporting factories and production lines required to pre-process the energy crystals, building them on this planet, would require an unknown amount of effort.

In that time, even if he didn't focus much on cultivation normally, he might have already broken through to the Planetary-level.

"Master, three locations have been found! Two of these ruins will open soon!"

The smart AI quickly replied.

"Go to the nearest one! Enter stealth mode!"

Fang Xi made his choice directly.

The Azure Dragon immediately retracted all its aura and energy fluctuations; its hull became transparent and suddenly vanished.

...

Above a desert.

Two black pyramids were stacked, connected at their tips, forming a peculiar funnel shape.

Rumble!

It seemed a certain condition had been met, as the black pyramid's colossal metal gate slowly opened.

"It's finally open, this ruin. . . As long as I get the 'Gravity Generator' inside, I can definitely. . ."

A strong golden-horned man, his eyes burning with fervor, laughed heartily.

Suddenly, his laughter abruptly ceased, as he saw a woman gracefully approaching.

This woman had a fiery figure, wearing metal armor on her body, and a spider-shaped helmet on her head.

The Phoenix imperial family was uniquely blessed; this princess's self-designed armor surprisingly possessed a taste of terrifying aesthetics.

Cold, cruel. . .

"Dark Spider — Duo Luo Xi!"

The prince, upon seeing this woman, immediately uttered a name that filled him with dread.

"Submit, or die!"

Duo Luo Xi drew a blood-red longsword and spoke with a calm expression.

As the number two seed on this planet, not only was her own evolution level extremely high, but she had also obtained many good things from the ruins.

This energy weapon longsword — 'Bloodthirst' — was just one of them!

"Go to hell!"

That prince stomped his foot fiercely, countless cracks appeared in the ground, and terrifying yellow sand almost buried the sky.

Subsequently, a giant crater appeared beneath him, as if it had been bombed by artillery, while he himself swiftly charged towards the ruins: "I won't give up, as long as I can obtain a super-energy weapon from the ruins, I can definitely. . ."

A red light flashed!

This prince was cut in half in mid-air!

He let out a shriek, a hint of ferocity appeared on his face, and the star core Golden Core within him was about to explode, taking Duo Luo Xi down with him.

Duo Luo Xi took out a small, silver-white box.

The wildly fluctuating aura of that star core Golden Core immediately calmed down and was easily put into the box by her.

"You're too weak. . . The weak have no right to survive."

Duo Luo Xi glanced at the prince, who died with eyes wide open, then looked around: "Anyone who wants to die, step forward!"

There seemed to be a few figures in the distance, but they were all rapidly retreating.

Just then, above the firmament, the light seemed to distort.

Subsequently, Fang Xi stepped on void, appearing above Duo Luo Xi's head.

"You are. . ."

Duo Luo Xi narrowed her eyes: "I've heard of you. . . The 'Shipbuilder' of legend, known for his benevolence. . ."

"I only want the energy crystal within the ruins; everything else can be yours."

Fang Xi slowly stated.

As for the nickname 'Shipbuilder', he certainly wouldn't acknowledge it.

Although these imperial descendants had decent achievements in various aspects, their naming skills were truly not commendable.

"No!"

Duo Luo Xi chuckled and raised the Bloodthirst longsword in her hand: "In my dictionary, there is no word for 'compromise'! Furthermore, I also want to know your true strength. . . Secret Technique: Crimson Blood!"

She swung her sword, and sword shadows filled the sky.

Crimson sword light filled the world, carrying with it the power of sealing and isolation.

But the next moment, that Bloodthirst longsword stopped in mid-air.

Clatter!

Countless barbs suddenly emerged from the hilt of the Bloodthirst longsword; even though Duo Luo Xi let go quickly, several blood holes appeared on her jade-like palm, becoming drenched in blood.

"Standard energy weapons are easily deciphered. . ."

Fang Xi shook his head and pointed casually.

That weapon obtained from the ruins flew before him, and at his will, transformed into a crimson spear, then a long whip. . .

Although the technological path was initially very difficult, but once developed to its peak, facing these princes and princesses who were almost like primitives, it naturally possessed an overwhelming advantage.

"Any weapon within the ruins comes with primitive passwords and firewalls. . ."

"Next time, remember to modify them, otherwise, they can easily betray you."

Fang Xi snapped his fingers, and a pile of things automatically fell from Duo Luo Xi's body, including the silver-white box.

A hint of horror appeared in Duo Luo Xi's eyes.

As a member of the Phoenix clan, she naturally possessed no weak scientific research talent, and although specialized in combat, she clearly had a thorough understanding of her own weapons.

Yet she never expected that before Fang Xi, the things she prided herself on were simply a joke!

"I'll only take the energy crystal; you can keep the rest."

Fang Xi arrived before the funnel-shaped double pyramid, just about to enter.

Suddenly!

The light in the void twisted for a moment; from beneath the yellow sand, a black shadow suddenly lunged out.

This black shadow exuded terrifying gravity, previously unnoticed by anyone; a finger-shadow, like a venomous snake, shot straight for Fang Xi's back!

"'Viper' Kai La?"

Duo Luo Xi saw this scene, and immediately a bead of cold sweat appeared on her forehead.

Kai La was extremely adept at stealth, able to conceal her own energy fluctuations to the point where even ordinary detectors in the ruins couldn't detect them.

If this move were used against her, then she. . .

Bang!

The next moment, Kai La flew backward at an even faster speed.

On Fang Xi's body, a layer of azure light appeared, like a suit of armor, firmly protecting him within.

"This light. . . Satellite Ring? You've already broken through to become a Satellite-level expert?"

Duo Luo Xi saw this scene and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Not only was his scientific research talent stronger than hers, but his cultivation talent was also incredibly astonishing.

How could she even compete now?
