Chapter 166: Chapter 156: Valiantly Defying Death, Bomb Resurrection

’Free Mode means I can undo the Refinement...’

Wang Yi nodded after checking the information page for [Commanding Mountains and Rivers].

’Having Free Mode isn’t bad. Once I have enough Chaos Energy, I can undo the Refinement on these small hills and streams and replace them with large mountains and rivers. Their Body Refinement effects would definitely be stronger, and maybe they’d even have special abilities! Besides, Mountain-Breaking, Moving Mountains, parting water, and diverting rivers... I guess these count as attack methods too!’

Wang Yi felt himself growing stronger. He turned his gaze back to the golden blind box.

’System, don’t nerf my combat power! The golden legend must continue! Come on, hit me with your best shot!’

Wang Yi clasped his hands and bowed to the golden blind box nine times. He closed his eyes and opened it, waiting ten seconds before looking. A selection window with six options appeared before him.

====

One: Reclassification Certificate for a Radiant Mage (Gold, Enhance +1)

Two: Energy Lighthouse (Purple, Enhance +2)

Three: Chaos Egg (Gold, Enhance +3)

Four: Gum Chewed by the Goddess (Purple, Enhance +4)

Five: Golden Bell Body Protection Talisman (Gold, Enhance +5)

Six: Silk Pajamas (Purple, Enhance +6)

====

"Hm?"

Wang Yi’s brow furrowed.

’This golden blind box is a bit disappointing. Not enough options, and the items don’t seem that strong.’

’Whatever. I’ll pick the Body Protection Talisman. It’s never a bad idea to have more defensive measures!’

Wang Yi chose the Enhance +5 Golden Bell Body Protection Talisman.

[Golden Bell Body Protection Talisman +5: A consumable item. Upon use, it instantly forms a Golden Light Shield around the body. This shield can withstand the full-force attack of a Golden Core Cultivator without breaking and can last for up to 60 minutes! After five Enhancements, the Golden Light Shield’s protective area is increased, its duration is extended to 120 minutes, and it can withstand the full-force attack of a Divinity Transformation Cultivator without breaking.]

’This Body Protection Talisman isn’t bad, but it’s a shame it’s a consumable. Oh well, it’s another ace up my sleeve!’

Wang Yi put away the item and had the Galaxy Airship descend.

A moment later, Wang Yi stood at the airship’s exit, facing the crowd of Soldiers drawn by its arrival below. He shouted, "By my command, everyone assemble at once! Prepare to march out with me!"

The crowd below responded immediately.

Wang Yi descended to the ground with Wang Bushi, Frank, and the Maintenance Robot Gundam. Fish-Transformed Dragon, Hai Zhongxian, Man Datou, Yang Qingniu, Zhang Lengzi, Watermelon, Hai Pei, Duruka, and the others gathered around and greeted him with salutes.

They all showed intense curiosity toward the Galaxy Airship.

Wang Yi introduced Wang Bushi and Frank to them.

Wang Bushi had no Combat Skills. He was just a little brat with extremely low combat power, perhaps only slightly stronger than that Black Beans fellow.

But now that he possessed the Spear of Destruction, he was Wang Yi’s strongest ace—bar none!

A moment later, everyone began boarding the small train, but Lu Aqi and his group rushed over in a hurry.

"My lord, are you leaving? Please take us with you!"

"Please take us in, my lord!"

"Please don’t abandon us, my lord!"

This group, dressed in worn-out armor, came before Wang Yi and knelt on one knee. They thought he was taking his main force and leaving for good, and they wanted to follow him.

"My lord, we can all fight! Please let the thirty-six of us brothers follow you!"

As Lu Aqi spoke, he slapped his chest and activated his Muscle Man Transformation. His body immediately swelled, bursting his armor apart.

The other 35 men did the same, all transforming into Muscle Men and shattering their armor, which attracted the curious gazes of a group of Beastman Ladies nearby.

Wang Yi said, "My deal with your Prince isn’t over yet. I’m just heading out to fight a bit and collect some spoils of war. I’m not abandoning you; I will be back!"

At this, Wang Yi shouted to the Beastman Lady Duruka in the distance, "Duruka, go to carriage #45 and bring back thirty-six Superman’s Battle Garments without cloaks. Also, grab plenty of Fasting Pills and Piyao Pills to give to these soldiers!"

"Yes, sir!"

The purple-skinned Beastman Lady Duruka bowed in acknowledgment and quickly ran toward carriage #45.

Carriage #45 was used for storing miscellaneous items, including the Superman Outfits.

Wang Yi saw how Lu Aqi and his men burst out of their clothes at the drop of a hat, exposing things that shouldn’t be exposed. It was rather uncivilized, so he figured he’d give them some Superman Outfits to wear.

The Superman Outfit was, after all, a green-tier cosmetic. It was tough, Durable, and extremely elastic. It probably wouldn’t burst when Lu Aqi and the others transformed while wearing it.

Hearing Wang Yi’s words, Lu Aqi and his men were relieved. Lu Aqi then added, "My lord, King Dongsheng is corrupt, incompetent, and unpopular. From my observations, most of the low-ranking soldiers in the Prince Mansion’s camp are dissatisfied with him. With a little maneuvering, a full-scale mutiny might not be impossible. Do you need this humble one to instigate it?"

"You can follow your conscience on this matter." Wang Yi recalled the corpses of the elite cavalry in the A22 ruins and said in a low voice, "Life is not easy. Let there be less killing."

"Your subordinate understands!"

Lu Aqi bowed in acknowledgment.

A moment later, the Superman Outfits were brought over, and Lu Aqi and his men immediately put them on with delight.

Without any instruction from Wang Yi, they figured it out on their own, all wearing the red shorts on the outside. It accentuated their physiques and made them look more spirited.

"This battle garment is great, but going to the bathroom is a bit of a hassle. Brothers, time to take the pills! Everyone take one Fasting Pill and one Piyao Pill. Without the need to eat, drink, or... you know... we’ll save ourselves a lot of trouble. Come on, come get your pills..."

Lu Aqi, now fully dressed in his Superman’s Battle Garment, shouted as he distributed the pills to the other Muscle Men.

Wang Yi had Duruka bring a large quantity of Fasting Pills for Lu Aqi.

Of course, this batch of Fasting Pills wasn’t all for them to eat. They were for Lu Aqi to use for building connections and winning people over.

’Perhaps in the near future, many of King Dongsheng’s soldiers will become my subjects. There should be quite a few talented individuals among them. With some training, they could become useful assets. It would be a waste to let them all die for nothing. I’ll let Lu Aqi build some goodwill.’

Wang Yi silently calculated, then said to Lu Aqi, who was now in his Superman Outfit, "Remember to wear normal armor over your Superman Outfits. Try not to reveal your strength in front of others. You might be able to return to your original world soon..."

With that, Wang Yi waved his hand and turned to board the Galaxy Airship.

A moment later, the small train roared to life. Abandoning its luxurious shack-like cars, it slowly began to move.

Its destination was not the A22 ruins, but Transcendence Valley!

Back when Wang Yi killed Xinghai, he received generous system rewards. Now that it seemed possible Liu Nan might also be killed, Wang Yi wanted to join in on the action.

Besides, this was a perfect opportunity to test the combat strength of his ’great son,’ Wang Bushi.

As for bringing the main force, Wang Yi wanted them to participate in the battle. He didn’t expect them to contribute much combat power; they could just act as tag-alongs.

Based on the system rewards from killing Xinghai, having his soldiers participate in the battle might give them a random chance to achieve a breakthrough.

Before long, the Galaxy Airship and the small train approached Transcendence Valley.

The battle in the valley was still raging. The entire valley had been scorched to cinders. From a distance, they could see the colossal Liu Nan had already crawled to the valley entrance, where it was fighting a Flaming Ascetic of a comparable size.

Clearly, the giant Flaming Ascetic was fighting for Mr. Jin, while the huge Flame Tree People and Fireline Shooters originally under Mr. Jin’s control were nowhere to be seen.

Wang Yi’s two Flood Swords had long since returned to him automatically. The battle in Transcendence Valley was now a pure showdown of flames. It was obvious that the giant Flaming Ascetic was at a disadvantage, constantly taking heavy blows from Liu Nan.

"Everyone off the train! Find some isolated Wood Knot Monsters on the periphery to pick on. Don’t go too deep, and don’t take any risks."

After giving the order, Wang Yi had Frank pilot the Galaxy Airship directly above Liu Nan.

Watching from up close, it was even more obvious that Mr. Jin was losing.

Wang Yi didn’t know how the Flaming Ascetic had grown so enormous, rivaling Liu Nan in size. However, its combat techniques and methods were clearly far inferior to Liu Nan’s. It was getting beaten one-sidedly. Still, it was incredibly tough; after being injured, it could absorb ecological power to recover quickly.

A battle between Divine beings would only end when one side’s entire ecosystem collapsed.

"Mr. Jin, I’ve come to help you!"

Wang Yi said calmly, then walked over to Wang Bushi. "My good son, it’s your time to shine!"

Wang Bushi, like a young general, immediately bowed to Wang Yi and declared, "This child does not fear death! I await Father’s command!"

"This time, I really do need you to risk death!"

"To die for a noble cause is this son’s wish!"

"Alright then!" Wang Yi nodded. He pushed open the airship’s main door, pointed to the nine-headed giant snake-like Liu Nan below, and said, "Wang Bushi, shoulder your Spear of Destruction, charge down there, and pierce that giant snake’s body. Your father will be waiting right here for your glorious resurrection!"

"Yes, sir!"

Showing no fear, Wang Bushi strode out of the hatch with the Spear of Destruction on his back and dove headfirst from an altitude of at least five or six hundred meters.

"Quick, pull back! Take the airship higher!"

Wang Yi shouted nervously.

Frank was now piloting the Galaxy Airship. He was a professional driver with superb piloting skills, and he immediately sent the airship ascending in a straight line.

Wang Yi stared down below. Soon, with a deafening BOOM, the Spear of Destruction exploded.

Liu Nan’s massive body shuddered violently as a pillar of fire swiftly pierced through it.

One end of the fiery pillar stabbed diagonally into the sky while the other pierced the earth. Composed of roiling flames, it looked like a gigantic Flame Spear—the very effect of the Spear of Destruction’s blast.

At that moment, Liu Nan’s nine heads tilted back and let out a long, agonized hiss.

But Wang Yi just said, "The game has only just begun. Let’s see how many Spears of Destruction you can take!!"

At that very moment, a ball of golden light slowly materialized in front of Wang Yi. Within the light, Wang Bushi’s figure appeared.

He had been resurrected!

And what’s more, the Spear of Destruction on his back had been resurrected too!

Wang Bushi’s Resurrection Skill had been enhanced nine times. He could resurrect out of thin air, and his resurrection even brought back his equipped gear, weapons, mounts, War Beasts, and war machines.

The Spear of Destruction was also a piece of equipment, so it could be brought back by Wang Bushi’s bizarre Resurrection Skill!

Thus, the Spear of Destruction, originally a one-time-use super bomb that was gone after a single explosion, had become a reusable super bomb in Wang Bushi’s hands.

"This child goes forth!"

Without waiting for Wang Yi’s command, Wang Bushi let out a roar and leaped from the Galaxy Airship once more.

Soon, there was another thunderous RUMBLE.

Another Flame Spear appeared on Liu Nan’s back, piercing through its body.

"This child goes again!"

Wang Bushi resurrected again in an instant, shouldered his Spear of Destruction, and continued to leap, truly unafraid of death.
