Chapter 322: Chapter 315: Shi Ming Obtains a Holy Hall Level Skill

This was the Fallen Sanctuary.

The skill’s fusion was complete!

Unlike skills gained by bathing in the blood of sea beasts, a self-fused skill could create a new Holy Hall Origin from scratch. Moreover, this Holy Hall Origin belonged to Shi Ming from the very beginning, which brought him endless benefits and insights beyond just the skill itself!

As well as a massive stat boost comparable to the Holy Hall Tier!

In a sense, he could be considered the eighth Holy Hall Fierce Beast of the Endless Ocean!

Humans were a type of fierce beast, after all!

He stood aboard the swiftly sailing King-level Wandering Ship, the Da Yu, contemplating this new skill formed from the fusion of "Third Law" and "Ragnarok." Although "Fallen" didn’t sound like a positive word, when describing a skill, it was merely a neutral term, just like Destruction, Eternity, Life, or Corruption.

It held no connotation of good or evil, merely a simple definition of power.

[Fallen Sanctuary]

[Holy Hall 008]

[It is entropy’s increase, and its decrease. It is subsidence, and it is chaos.]

The description of its abilities was very abstract.

But as its master, Shi Ming knew everything about the skill the moment the fusion was complete. Although the [Fallen Sanctuary] had barely crossed the threshold into the Holy Hall Tier, its standing was identical to the Great Black Heaven Dragon’s [Nine-Headed Sanctuary] and the Abyss Lord’s [Extremely Evil Sanctuary]!

It also possessed a Holy Hall Origin.

Named "Chaos"!

The skill was composed of two parts.

The inverted "Chaotic Divine Country" filled with Other Shore Flowers, and the "Blade of Chaos" plunged into its lands.

Chaotic Divine Country—

When the skill is activated, the Chaotic Divine Country descends. Other Shore Flowers begin to grow from the illusory soil, and the world slowly tilts, completing its inversion within three minutes. Every creature that sets foot on this land will, in a sense, become a Dusk Whale, rapidly falling into chaos and decay. Without a power capable of resisting it, they will live out their entire lives before the Divine Country fully inverts!

Once the Divine Country has fully inverted,

the Other Shore Flowers will also have bloomed to their most brilliant moment!

Blade of Chaos—

The Blade of Chaos is a blade plunged into the Chaotic Divine Country. Wherever its light reaches, order collapses, rules are reversed, all dissolvable matter will dissolve, and any rule with the slightest loophole will be broken.

Using the Blade of Chaos within the Chaotic Divine Country is the complete [Fallen Sanctuary].

Annihilation and subsidence, all in a single thought.

It had just entered the Holy Hall Tier, ranked 008. Its power might not match that of the older Holy Halls, but the Blade of Chaos could gain an extra bonus from the Arm of Power. All things considered, killing a Great Black Heaven Dragon would not be difficult.

If Shi Ming wished, he could also use its lesser component skills instead, without consuming Holy Hall Power:

namely: Third Law, and Ragnarok.

These two skills had not disappeared.

At the same time, all of Shi Ming’s stats received a massive boost, raising his physical strength and bodily fortitude to the level of an ordinary Holy Hall Fierce Beast:

[Attack Power: 303]

[Physical Strength: 309]

[Endurance: 318]

[Defense Power: 330]

[Spiritual Power: Unknown]

This upgrade was enormous for him. It also marked his advancement from the "Legendary" tier mentioned on the great stone monument to the "Holy Hall" tier!

This was not the end.

Merely a milestone.

Above it, there was still Nirvana, and Godhood.

...

...

...

The Da Yu activated "Suspension Mode" and "Sea-Patrol Wave."

Ah Jian continuously pointed Shi Ming in new directions and brought him updates on the battle.

If Shi Ming wanted, the Da Yu’s speed could be doubled again, but the [Lighthouse] clearly had ill intentions. Even in this situation, they were conserving their strength, trying to divert the disaster toward other wandering ships to share the risk. It was obvious they still had power to spare. Relying on the "Star Dome Curtain" and their King-level trait "Land of Freedom," they had more than enough to survive the Great Black Heaven Dragon’s onslaught for a while.

Having seen the great stone monument, Shi Ming knew a thing or two about the Star Dome Curtain. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

On the list of Marvels of the Endless Sea Region, it was the top-tier Marvel ranked 8th.

Its name on the list was "Shield of a Myriad Glimmering Stars."

The Lighthouse didn’t know its name on the list and had dubbed it the Star Dome Curtain.

Its effect was to borrow the power of the stars and the night to conceal its target and apply a barrier of stellar protection. The stronger the Starlight Power, the stronger the Guardian Power. It was now the deepest part of the night, with a sky full of stars—the perfect time for it to be used.

’No need to rush. Let them put on a show first.’

"Ah Jian, have the Lighthouse’s S-rank Awakened made a move?"

"No. The captain of that big ship is very smart and sharp. He gave orders not to attack, but to use all their energy for defense and retreat, heading for the Sea of Soaring Dragons to face the enemy together!"

’Face the enemy together? You’ve really calculated this nicely.’

If he weren’t coveting the Great Black Heaven Dragon’s "Destruction" Origin and its "Nine-Headed Sanctuary," and if not for the million innocent human kinsmen aboard that King-level Wandering Ship, he couldn’t be bothered to interfere in such matters.

The Da Yu sailed out of the Sea of Soaring Dragons.

This was the sea region that, according to calculations, the Lighthouse had to pass through to enter the Sea of Soaring Dragons.

"Hold position and stabilize."

"All on-duty crew members, evacuate via the sub-vessels."

Under the lonely, starry night, all arrangements were made.

Shi Ming cast a fishing line out onto the empty sea surface and began to fish. After advancing to the Holy Hall Tier, his power was surging and active. This was a moment when he needed to quiet his mind and let it settle.

Ah Jian floated in the air, perceiving everything her sub-units saw and heard.

"Master, the Great Black Heaven Dragon has used Nine-Headed Sanctuary once! The nine great disasters were unleashed simultaneously, and the Star Dome Curtain has developed some cracks."

"The Great Black Heaven Dragon has broken through the Lighthouse’s Pure Dome Crystal shield for the 18th time. It seems this King-level Wandering Ship is running low on its reserve of Pure Dome Crystals."

"The Lighthouse has taken out a second Marvel."

"The Mermaid’s Tear, ranked 55th. The energy concentration of the remaining Pure Dome Crystals has been amplified threefold! The Lighthouse can still hold on."

Shi Ming continued to fish while listening to Ah Jian’s commentary.

’The Lighthouse has plenty of treasures, too. They just can’t bear to use them normally, keeping them locked away for who knows what. If Miss Yan and Shadow had been given a few more of these treasures, perhaps they would have had a sliver of hope for survival! They wouldn’t have had to bleed out in the deep sea.’

"Master, the Great Black Heaven Dragon is only 120 nautical miles from our position."

"..."

With the lord of destruction approaching, even the fish had been scared away.

Shi Ming stood up, put away his fishing rod, and gazed to the southwest.

A "Sea Beacon Tower," visible to the naked eye, shot straight into the clouds.

...

...

...

"Sir, we’ve detected a wandering ship 120 nautical miles ahead, suspected to be Gold-level or General-level!"

"Didn’t he see the beacon tower?! How dare he just stay there! Ignore him, keep moving!"

The beacon tower was originally an ancient method of relaying messages in the Dragon Country.

In the early days of the Wandering Era, people discovered it was an extremely efficient way to transmit information. It made it easy for different wandering ships to help one another and overcome difficulties in the absence of radio and satellite communications. Thus, various major organizations adopted it, and it became a conventional method of passing information.

A beacon tower lit by a King-level Wandering Ship was even more magnificent.

Three columns of smoke rose into the sky, a stark and imposing signal.

It signified extreme danger!

But as times changed, fewer and fewer people dared to light a beacon tower on the open sea. Many had forgotten its meaning, and the sight of a King-level Wandering Ship personally lighting one was unheard of.

"Sir, that wandering ship is moving! It’s heading in our direction!"

"???"

Other than the Da Yu, Trellin did not want to see any other wandering ship at this moment.
