Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls-Chapter 465 - 254: Killing Meng Biao, Time Bomb 2

Time passed by the minute, and under Fang Yu’s rapid consumption without regard for cost, although there were occasional flashes of presence behind him, it was clear that the pursuers’ speed could not compare to Fang Yu’s full-throttle consumption.

As Fang Yu invested Lord Points in himself at each level, he had already transformed into a terrifying numerical monster.

Guan Xinxue, who had turned into an alchemical puppet, had previously sensed Fang Yu’s energy level fluctuations up close. At the time, Guan Xinxue judged Fang Yu’s power level to have possibly reached the warship level, meaning that if Fang Yu let loose, he could single-handedly confront a warship.

With such numerical stacking, the speed Fang Yu displayed at this moment was astonishing.

The pursuers behind exerted all their strength but found the distance between them and Fang Yu widening, leaving them with no choice but to sigh helplessly as they returned without success.

...

"Captain!!"

The Salted Fish soon aligned with Fang Yu along the ocean’s current.

Fang Yu moved and jumped directly onto the deck, casually taking out a bottle of intermediate energy potion and gulping it down.

This attack, combined with the energy consumed on the journey, was actually no burden for Fang Yu.

But Fang Yu knew very well that the deciding moment of the upcoming battle was crucial, so he had to adjust his energy and state to their peak to feel at ease.

After returning to the ship, Fang Yu steered the vessel towards the Divine Hall to rendezvous with Duorong’s military forces.

At the same time, Fang Yu cautiously set his sights on the crystalline stone that had appeared in his panel space...

This crystal stone had fallen from Meng Biao’s body after his death.

At that time, everything on Meng Biao’s body was completely destroyed by the terrible power of the armor-piercing bullet and turned into fragments.

Only this crystal stone remained intact after Meng Biao’s death, not shattered by Fang Yu’s bullet power.

This was Meng Biao’s trump card, released during the second checkpoint, a terrifying power that nearly killed Fang Yu.

Looking at the crystal stone in the panel, a strange light flashed in Fang Yu’s eyes.

The power within this crystal stone was incredibly thick and strong, and once the stone was detonated, it would release this power.

However...

Fang Yu seemed to sense a certain will within the power of the crystal stone.

It seemed that this power was not ownerless; its source might be a strong figure.

If that’s the case...

Fang Yu frowned.

It would mean that keeping this crystal stone around might not be a treasure but rather a ticking time bomb.

Once the strong figure within the stone sensed their power being carried by Fang Yu, they might detonate their power without hesitation, killing Fang Yu on the spot.

The reason this strong figure did not notice Meng Biao’s death might purely be due to the special environment in the Treasure Tomb, which isolated all perception from the outside world, preventing the strong figure from sensing that Meng Biao had been killed by Fang Yu and that his power had been acquired.

If that is the case...

Fang Yu pondered.

This crystal stone probably couldn’t be taken out of the Treasure Tomb, or it would be a bomb.

However, if used within the Treasure Tomb, perhaps its power could be utilized to gain some benefits.

With this thought, Fang Yu glanced at the barrier’s other side, the "high-end field," which belonged to the Divine Envoy and Duorong’s commander, especially sweeping over the Divine Envoy.

Immediately, Fang Yu had a plan, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and he turned to Wang Yuanwei behind him and said, "Mr. Wang, it’s time to remove the barrier and open the door to the Divine Hall."

Upon hearing Fang Yu’s words, Wang Yuanwei hesitated slightly, looking uneasily at the other side of the barrier and swallowing. "Are you sure?"

Since coming here, Wang Yuanwei had been immersed in understanding alchemical seal patterns, but no true fool could become a master alchemist. He roughly understood the current situation as well.

Knowing that once the barrier was opened, it would likely be the time for a major battle to break out, he couldn’t help but show worry on his face.

"Don’t worry, a battle is inevitable, and we’ve made full preparations!"

Fang Yu spoke, his gaze briefly brushing over the crystal stone in his panel space, speaking softly.

"Alright then!"

Wang Yuanwei took a deep breath and stopped wasting any words.

Soon, the ship came beside the barrier, and Wang Yuanwei reached out, continually condensing profound and complex seal patterns in his hand.

These seal patterns were different from the ones Fang Yu had seen other alchemists condense before.

For example, Hua Yu and others, their alchemical seal patterns are fixed and unchanging once birthed.

However, the seal patterns Wang Yuanwei engraved kept changing, yet amidst the changes, they maintained a balance and consistency, always remaining effective despite the variability.

In fact, they became more flexible and spontaneous.

These seal patterns appeared as if they were alive, jumping onto the barrier and quickly merging into it.

Immediately, special energy fluctuations began to occur on the barrier’s energy fluid.

"Huh?"

The energy change couldn’t escape the awareness of those at the Extraordinary Ship level.

At this moment, everyone, having sensed the energy change on the barrier, focused their attention on the source of the change—the area around Wang Yuanwei.

Upon seeing a seemingly slow-witted young man extending his hand, engraved seal patterns unfamiliar to others, and upon merging them into the barrier, influencing its energy change to become gradually more transparent.

These masters showed a curious expression on their faces, looking at Wang Yuanwei with strange eyes.

No one disrupted Wang Yuanwei, not even the masters on the side of the Divine Hall, who remained silent, watching him.

In a sense, no matter what anomalies Wang Yuanwei had on his body, his actions aligned with everyone’s goal at that moment: to open the Divine Hall.

Naturally, no one was going to stop Wang Yuanwei.

At this moment, Mr. Wang undoubtedly became the focus of the scene, and along with him, many masters also turned their attention to Fang Yu.

"Is it that kid Fang Yu again?"

"Who is this rune-engraving young man to Fang Yu? How come he’s on Fang Yu’s ship?"

"Probably not an outsider; even if an outsider began studying the art of engravings upon arrival, reaching such a level would be impossible right now to engrave such alchemical seal patterns."

"This seal pattern... is highly peculiar; I’ve never seen it, even within the Sin Domain records."

"How strange, strange indeed, that alchemical seal patterns could be dynamic, completely shattering previous alchemical systems’ perceptions. Where did this kid learn these strange things?"

"This boy with the engraved seal patterns is not bad; after this battle, maybe we could invite him into my Alchemy Sect stream and become an alchemist of the same sect with me."

"Dynamic alchemical seal patterns... it reminds me of some legend..."

At this juncture, the divine light flashed in Hua Yu’s eyes, displaying a thoughtful expression, internally contemplating, and vaguely recalling something he’d read in historical texts.

It seemed to be a signature ability belonging to a controversial legendary alchemist, once believed to have the potential to usher in a grand innovation for a new era.

Yet afterwards, bearing this treasure, some eyed the legacy, attempting to seize this knowledge, and using this path, aimed to start a new era.

No one knows what occurred, but it wasn’t long before that legendary alchemist vanished from the world, and their life’s research and knowledge lacked inheritance, dissipating into history, turning to dust.

If the rumors were true, then this boy’s displayed ability to engrave dynamic seal patterns could indeed have significant origins.

Beyond that, if this story got out, this boy...

Might have to bear the weight of immense historical cause and effect.

In the future, some might approach this boy, eyeing the heritage behind him, and those controlling from behind, whose power could silently obliterate a legendary alchemist from history, let alone this boy?

Hua Yu subconsciously glanced at the Treasure Tomb beside him, his heart stirring slightly.

If this boy’s knowledge of engraving patterns was obtained from this Treasure Tomb, it might mean he’s about to witness a major historical event occurring afterward.

In a long-quiet Ocean World, a new era might be on the brink of arrival.

Just as he was thinking...

Shrouding the front of the Divine Hall, including the barriers separating two sides of the space, after emitting a faint radiance, they silently melted away in this space like melting snow.

At this moment, everyone’s eyes focused, as the power level within their bodies silently circulated throughout.

The barrier dissolves, signaling the battle’s arrival!
