Chapter 208: Chapter 208: Magnetic Reversal, a Heaven-Shaking Collision

While the Blind Saintess reeled in shock and uncertainty,

wary of the Celestial Dao’s interference and wondering where the divine general had gone...

「Weiyuan Immortal City, the port.」

Aboard the Ghostly Flood Dragon.

Su Ye sat cross-legged, Spiritual Qi Clouds swirling above him. A five-colored spiritual light haloed around him, making him look like an exiled immortal who had descended upon the world.

The five-colored spiritual light manifested as wisps of golden threads that flowed into Su Ye’s body.

He closed his eyes, sensing the changes within.

As the five-colored spiritual light merged into him,

the two divine seeds within his Magic Power Crystal underwent an astonishing transformation!

’The nourishment level of the divine seeds is rapidly increasing...’

Su Ye was inwardly surprised.

Such a thing was unheard of!

At least, in all his experience, there was no precedent for this!

After all, divine seeds were manifestations of the Power of Laws.

Their mysteries were beyond description.

If the Great Dao was a tree, then a divine seed was one of its leaves, a section of a branch!

And now, these leaves of the Great Dao were being nourished and enhanced at an incredible speed!

And not only that...

’Not only is the "cooldown bar" for my Quasi-Techniques shortening rapidly...’

’The divine seeds themselves are also growing at an incredible rate!’

A joyful glint flashed in Su Ye’s eyes.

After all, cultivation in the Crystal Stage was all about nourishing the divine seeds to lay the foundation for their evolution into true Divine Techniques.

Now, this five-colored spiritual light descending from the heavens was nourishing his divine seeds for him.

This easily saved him over a decade of painstaking effort!

However, Su Ye could feel that this boon was not without its price...

He raised his head, his gaze fixed on the black-and-red Divine Tree that towered into the clouds at the heart of the immortal city.

A tidal wave of hostility surged up from the depths of his heart!

’Destroy it, destroy it, destroy it...’

It was as if some voice were echoing in his mind!

At the same time, fragmented information emerged from within the five-colored spiritual light, leaving Su Ye deep in thought.

’The Celestial Dao?’

’So... is this a transaction?’ Su Ye chuckled.

He couldn’t help but laugh, shaking his head.

Then, he muttered to himself, "Seeing as you’re so generous and even paid upfront, I’ll agree to help you out just this once..."

"However..."

Su Ye stood up and stretched his neck, his joints letting out a few crisp, satisfying cracks.

The handsome, black-robed youth pressed his lips together, his eyes narrowing in slight annoyance.

"You bastard..."

"Don’t you dare use something I was going to do anyway... to order me around!"

Su Ye muttered irritably.

In the next instant!

BUZZ!

A jet-black light flickered in his eyes.

Within his Magic Power Crystal, the jet-black divine seed began to glow!

[Divine Seed: Netherworld Boat]

——Activate!

SPLASH.

A jet-black, ghostly shadow emerged on the surface of the sea.

The historical projection of the Ghostly Flood Dragon rose from the depths of the sea and slowly superimposed itself onto the ship’s actual hull!

"Ah! Nngh!"

As the historical projection empowered the ship, Jiaojiao’s expression changed abruptly!

A continuous stream of power flowed from the projection, empowering her!

"So strong..." Jiaojiao, dressed in her black and red coronation robes, had eyes like rubies that shone with excitement!

Under the effect of the [Netherworld Boat], all of the Ghostly Flood Dragon’s stats were doubled. This meant the amount of power Jiaojiao could command had increased twofold!

This terrifying boost made her involuntarily narrow her eyes in sheer pleasure.

"Jiaojiao, take off!" Su Ye commanded.

"Yes, Master!" Jiaojiao replied dutifully.

HUM!

The Ghostly Flood Dragon’s jet-black hull began to gleam with a bloody light.

Array patterns interwove, forming a special formation to counteract the Primordial Magnetic Gravity.

Magnetic Reversal—this was a new ability the Ghostly Flood Dragon had awakened after its advancement!

It could use special array markings to counteract gravity, turning the Ghostly Flood Dragon into a true Sky Battleship!

SPLASH.

The Ghostly Flood Dragon’s hull slowly ascended.

Seawater streamed from its hull, dripping onto the surface below and creating ripples!

At the same time, under Jiaojiao’s control, the Ghostly Flood Dragon’s external form began to shift!

The sails retracted, the masts shortened, the portholes sealed shut, and the hull’s armor reinforced itself, adapting for aerial combat!

Hull Animation!

This was another new ability awakened after the Ghostly Flood Dragon’s advancement!

Like a creature of flesh and blood, it could animate and transform the hull to augment its combat power!

The Ghostly Flood Dragon was now airborne.

And then.

HUM!

At Su Ye’s command, the bow of the Ghostly Flood Dragon slowly split open, parting to either side.

A terrifying giant cannon emerged, shimmering with black and red light. It was constructed of bone and flesh, its muzzle nearly as wide as several men are tall!

The Ghostly Flood Dragon adjusted its position, aiming its cannon at the Divine Tree that pierced the heavens and towered into the clouds at the center of the immortal city!

VWOOM!

A crimson light gathered and swirled at the cannon’s muzzle, emitting a terrifying, suffocating pulse of power!

Song of Hell, charging!

Tens of millions of living souls from the Soul Abyss Blood Prison were being used as the energy source for this single attack!

GASP!

At that exact moment.

At the crown of the Divine Tree, the Blind Saintess and the several Crystal Stage cultivators she was fighting all felt a sudden chill seize their hearts.

As one, they all turned to look toward the Ghostly Flood Dragon!

An extreme sense of danger washed over them, setting off alarm bells in their minds!

"It’s flying? A Tier-4 spirit ship...?"

"There’s another spirit ship this powerful in these waters?"

The Crystal Stage cultivators were horrified.

"The Celestial Dao..." The Blind Saintess’s expression was grave.

Just then.

"Song of Hell is fully charged," Jiaojiao reported.

"Then... fire!" Su Ye let out a savage grin.

A quasi-Tier-4 spirit ship, empowered by the Quasi-Technique [Netherworld Boat], controlled by the ship spirit Jiaojiao, unleashing [Song of Hell]...

The power of this shot?

KABOOM!

The giant cannon roared!

A crimson beam of light that seemed to pierce the heavens erupted with a deafening roar!

An unbelievably turbulent wave of Spiritual Power, like that of an apocalyptic catastrophe, swept across the entire city!

In an instant.

Every living being in Weiyuan Immortal City felt their heart pound with a dull, heavy thud.

It was as if their hearts had been violently seized by an invisible hand!

BOOOOM!!!!

The crimson beam, seemingly powerful enough to pierce the sun and moon, slammed into the Divine Tree!

With the Divine Tree as its epicenter, a world-shattering shockwave erupted!

Invisible waves of energy surged outward as a pillar of dust rose to the sky!

The entirety of Weiyuan Immortal City, and the land for dozens of miles around it, trembled violently as if struck by a massive earthquake!

BUZZ!

At the center of the immortal city, the black-and-red canopy that blotted out the sky dimmed and lost its luster!

The dust and smoke gradually dispersed, revealing the form of the Divine Tree.

The giant tree that towered into the clouds looked as if it had been struck by a bolt of heavenly lightning.

A terrifying cavity had appeared on its massive trunk, like a giant meteor crater, burning with blood-red flames!

Its bark and wood shattered and disintegrated under the searing heat of the blood-red flames!

The blast from the Ghostly Flood Dragon’s main cannon had dealt a devastating blow to the entire Divine Tree!

However, this Divine Tree was no ordinary plant.

Su Ye could see the black-and-red wood constantly regrowing, neutralizing the blood flames as it tried to repair the cavity.

It was attempting to stabilize its teetering trunk.

But...

How could Su Ye possibly give it that chance?

"Heh..."

Su Ye let out a savage grin, his eyes flashing with a wild light.

"Jiaojiao..."

"Full speed ahead."

"Ram right into it!"
