Chapter 2405: The Curse from the Death Race
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Qingfeng Li carefully observed the drained planet and sensed an extraordinary presence from it.
The presence was familiar to him; it was the chaotic presence that he had encountered before.
Since he possessed a chaotic ultimate treasure, the Black-and-White Millstone, he was familiar with this chaotic energy presence.
Besides Qingfeng Li, even Treasure-Seeking Mouse had sensed the difference.
The word “treasure” it spat out had hovered above the drained planet, but now it had been turned into sparkles by a mysterious energy and vanished.
Treasure-Seeking Mouse said in a low voice, “Master, I sense the presence of Chaos Spirit herbs from the drained planet; however, great dangers are hiding there too and they are making my soul tremble.”
“Even an immortal master can’t scatter the word ‘treasure’ I condensed with the Law of Energy, but it was easily erased here, which means something extraordinary is concealed in the drained planet, probably something at the pinnacle stage of the Immortal Realm. We must be careful.”
Qingfeng Li nodded and said, “Got it. Let’s go in there.”
Qingfeng Li drove the immortal s.h.i.+p toward the drained planet below them.
While they descended, Qingfeng Li felt special energy which was different from any energy he encountered in the Universe’s Saint Realm; it was something he had never seen before.
This energy was grey and contained the grey presence of death, eroding everything around it.
The top of Qingfeng Li’s immortal s.h.i.+p began to disintegrate into particles before vanis.h.i.+ng in the universe, which stunned Qingfeng Li.
He knew that his immortal s.h.i.+p was not an ordinary thing. It was made with Thunderstruck Wood, Immortal Ice Gra.s.s, and Black Wood Immortal Ivy, which were all immortal-grade materials. But now it was being eroded by this mysterious energy.
Besides the immortal s.h.i.+p, Qingfeng Li found his own body was being eroded and openings began to appear in his skin.
By his side, Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake, and Treasure-Seeking Mouse were not faring better; their fur began to fall.
Although only three to five hairs fell, they were terrified of the change.
After all, they were animal ancestors who had cultivated to the immortal beast realm. What was the mysterious and weird energy that even they couldn’t resist?
The Treasure-Seeking Mouse said in astonishment, “Master, bad news. This is the Death Race Curse. According to the legends, there was a bountiful planet that had been cursed by the Death Race in the Chaos Era of the Universe.”
“The Death Race is a special species who possess and pa.s.ses death energy. They erode all things that are alive or have life energy and disintegrate them into particles before absorbing them into their own bodies.”
Qingfeng Li frowned, finding the situation quite tricky.
He released the immortal energy in his body and formed a defensive light s.h.i.+eld around the immortal s.h.i.+p to protect it.
However, the moment his defense light s.h.i.+eld was formed, it was eroded easily by the grey particles.
Not wanting to admit defeat, he launched the Heavenly Immortal Chant, Mortal Purgatory Body, and other techniques, but they were all useless.
The grey misty particles contained horrifying energy and the orthodox techniques couldn’t block it.
Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake, and Treasure-Seeking Mouse tried their demon energy and super powers, but the result was the same.
They were terrified to see their fur was still shedding.
At this moment, Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake both said, “Qingfeng Li, we should leave the drained planet. It’s too dangerous here and if we continue the descent, all of our fur will be gone.”
Qingfeng Li shook his head, not wanting to return without success.
It had taken them great effort to get here and find the presence of the Chaos Spirit herbs and he wouldn’t return without getting what he wanted.
Besides, he knew that it was great luck that he found Chaos Spirit herbs and that even the Reincarnation Immortal probably couldn’t find them. If such treasures appeared in the Universe’s Saint Realm, they would cause a universe war.
Everyone would fight to the death over them and only these grey Death Race particles could block those treasure hunters.
Qingfeng Li looked at Treasure-Seeking Mouse and asked, “You are a favored being of the world and know a lot of secret stories. Tell me how to deal with the Death Race particles.”
The Treasure-Seeking Mouse said in a low voice, “Master, according to the legends, only the black hole can deal with these Death Race particles. As the nemesis of the Death Race particles, the black hole can easily devour them and send them to some unknown s.p.a.ce.”
Qingfeng Li was pleased and a trace of excitement entered his eyes.
With his Devourer bloodline, he could form a black hole to deal with these Death Race particles.
Without hesitation, he activated the Devourer bloodline in his body, forming a black vortex above his head.
The vortex had a diameter thousands of feet in size, engulfing the immortal s.h.i.+p and the people in it.
The grey Death Race particles were easily swallowed by the black vortex and vanished.
Qingfeng Li found the black hole his bloodline formed was extremely powerful and even he couldn’t explore the mysterious world it connected to.
He knew it was because he had awakened too little of his bloodline.
After his power increased or his understanding of the Devourer Bloodline deepened, he would know the world the black vortex was connected to.
Shortly, most of the grey Death Race particles around the immortal s.h.i.+p were devoured by the swallowing vortex.
The rest of the particles fled as if they had encountered their nemesis. Knowing they couldn’t mess with Qingfeng Li, they vanished quickly.
With the disappearance of the grey Death Race particles, the planet before them looked grey again.
Qingfeng Li was pleased to see the immortal s.h.i.+p and his skin was no longer eroded and Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake, and Treasure-Seeking Mouse had stopped shedding hairs. Everyone was exhilarated.
They drove the damaged immortal s.h.i.+p downward and shortly reached the surface of the planet.
The soil on the planet was totally different from that of other planets. The surface was made with a huger rock whose surface looked grey as if it had been soaked by great amounts of blood.
They could even hear voices from the depth of the planet.
These sounds came from the Chaos Era of the Universe and a distant time-s.p.a.ce.
