Chapter 242: Colossal Power Peak

“Is there actually a chance to kill a being at the 7th or 8th stage of the Stellar Constant Rank?” Luo Feng asked in astonishment.

Over the past year, he had learned a great deal within the virtual space.

He now understood even better that a Cosmic-level cultivator could physically wrestle with an entire interstellar fleet. A 7th or 8th stage Stellar Constant Rank being was hundreds of times stronger than a 1st stage one and was already very close to the Cosmic level—an absolute apex warrior. It would be extremely difficult for an entire interstellar fleet to kill such a being, let alone just a single exploration vessel.

“This is the Black Dragon Mountain—Model X81!” Babata exclaimed.

“In the Black Dragon Mountain star region, across its 8,000+ star systems and countless planets, this is already an extremely powerful exploration vessel model. Usually, only Cosmic-level experts or those with significant backgrounds can afford one. Do you find it strange that an exploration vessel used by a Cosmic-level expert, equipped with standard weaponry, could possibly kill a 7th or 8th stage Stellar Constant Rank being? Besides, I only said there’s a chance. Skilled experts wouldn’t recklessly place themselves in dangerous situations!”

Luo Feng couldn’t help but examine the ship before him.

It was pure black and saucer-shaped.

“Tsk tsk, with this X81, I, the Devil Babata, won’t have to work so hard building a ship from scratch anymore. Just infiltrate the X81’s AI system, fully conquer its controls, and then modify this X81 exploration vessel a bit. Then Luo Feng, you will be able to use it for your cosmic adventures,” Babata said excitedly.

Building a ship from nothing could never match the convenience of using an already existing one.

“Ah,” Luo Feng nodded slightly.

“Moreover, Luo Feng, even if I were to build one, I couldn’t make it any better than this. Its craftsmanship is extremely advanced. The main material used in constructing the entire ship is a metal called ‘Wuyi’! The fragments you gave me are nowhere near as good as this Wuyi metal. Even the most skilled artisan can’t make bricks without clay. No matter how skilled I am, with such inferior materials, I can only build an ordinary spaceship, not one this good.”

“This X81, with its Wuyi metal hull, would require a Cosmic-level expert to expend significant effort to damage it,” Babata praised. “Even a typical Cosmic-level expert would ride a ship of this caliber. Anything more expensive, even a Cosmic-level expert would hesitate to spend that much on.”

Luo Feng nodded slightly.

This ship was of the caliber that a Cosmic-level expert would ride, while the “Yinmoxing” was a ship once ridden by an Eternal expert—an expert among the immortals.

Unfortunately… it was damaged.

If it weren’t damaged, riding the Yinmoxing, a single dive could slice the Golden-Horned Giant Beast in two! After all, that ship was terrifyingly capable of slicing through planets with ease.

“Luo Feng, controlling this ship is quite difficult,” Babata said.

“Your Earth’s various nations, in their attempts to enter this X81 exploration vessel, have suffered countless casualties, yet couldn’t even get past the ship’s airlock door.”

“Ba Ba Ta, how do we get inside?” Luo Feng asked urgently.

According to the documents given to him by Hong…

The hardest part of the No.12 ruins was the ‘entrance corridor’. After opening the hatch, there was a corridor leading to the ‘ship’s airlock’. However, many people from Earth had died in this corridor. Opening the ‘ship’s airlock’ was something even Hong and Thunder couldn’t accomplish.

“I am very familiar with the structure of the X81 exploration vessel!” Babata, clad in a black robe within the intelligent virtual space on Luo Feng’s wrist, lifted his head slightly.

“After opening the hatch, the ‘entrance corridor’ is a laser corridor! The lasers fired within this corridor can easily kill someone at the 5th or 6th stage of the Planetary Rank. Your Earth’s council members, at the 1st or 2nd stage of the Planetary Rank, even wearing the Black God suit to weaken attacks, would still be certain to die. Only Hong and Thunder, wearing the Black God suit, might survive.”

Luo Feng listened carefully.

“Laser is a very powerful weapon. If your Earthlings devote more research into lasers, perhaps they could achieve even greater things,” Babata commented.

“Very powerful?” Luo Feng rarely heard Babata praise anything.

“Of course it’s powerful!”

Babata continued, “From a theoretical standpoint, light can be continuously focused and concentrated, increasing its intensity and thus its power. In theory, the power of a laser can be infinitely increased! Of course, there are many practical challenges. However, precious laser weapons from advanced cosmic civilizations are something even Sovereign-level experts must face with caution.”

“Of course, this laser corridor won’t be that exaggerated,” Babata said. “What you need to do now is to run through the laser corridor and then open the airlock!”

“Getting through the laser corridor can be managed.”

“But opening the airlock is no easy task! Your hall master Hong and that fellow called ‘Thunder’—honestly, that name ‘Thunder’ really grinds my gears.” Inside the virtual space on Luo Feng’s wrist, Babata snorted in disdain. “Those two simply couldn’t budge the airlock! This mechanical hatch requires the raw strength of at least a 3rd or 4th stage Stellar Constant warrior to lift.”

“A 3rd or 4th stage Stellar Constant Rank?” Luo Feng shook his head immediately.

There was no way he could do it.

The gap was too large.

“Can’t we just destroy it directly using that blade fragment?” Luo Feng asked urgently.

“The airlock is made of Wuyi metal. Wanting to destroy it head-on? I just said that even a Cosmic-level expert would have to expend significant effort. The fragment of the Red Chaos Copper Mother is powerful, but your strength…” Babata said. “Well, okay, here’s what you need to do—insert this device into the gap beneath the airlock.”

Before Luo Feng, a strange tool appeared.

At first glance, it looked like an axe, with an extremely thin blade. This ultra-thin blade was about three meters long and over a meter wide—an oddly shaped tool.

“Just insert the ultra-thin edge of this tool into the gap between the airlock and the floor,” Babata instructed.

“Alright.”

Luo Feng focused his mind, and immediately the leaves of the Moyun Vine extended rapidly, and the Moyun Battle Armor fully protected his entire body.

He walked along the dusty ground toward the ship.

“The hatch!”

Luo Feng hovered in front of the hatch, grabbed the edge with both hands, and with a mighty heave, shouted, “Open!!”

Creak!

The hatch opened, revealing a corridor about 30 meters long. Along both sides of the corridor were densely packed holes, not glass or anything Luo Feng had imagined.

“A laser corridor, huh?” Luo Feng took a deep breath. The Duntian Shuttle automatically transformed into the ‘Heavy Mountain Shield,’ protecting his body.

Whoosh!

He shot forward with all his might!

“Shiuu!” “Shiuu!” “Shiuu!”…

Instantly, countless beams of white light ignited, piercing through the entire corridor. Some of the lasers, as if sensing Luo Feng, slightly adjusted their angles from the holes and directly targeted him.

The speed of the lasers was… 300,000 kilometers per second!

Even the Golden-Horned Giant Beast wouldn’t be able to dodge in time, let alone Luo Feng.

Boom!

Some of the lasers struck the Heavy Mountain Shield, which then slammed into Luo Feng’s body. Other beams directly hit Luo Feng. In that single instant, over ten lasers struck him!

Inside the corridor,

Luo Feng, who had been charging forward at high speed, was blasted backward even faster.

On the ground, Luo Feng slid sideways for dozens of meters before crashing into the metal wall of the mother ship.

“Luo Feng, what are you doing?” Babata couldn’t help but shout.

“Didn’t you say to rush in and insert this tool into the gap between the airlock and the floor?” Luo Feng rubbed his chest. “If I don’t rush in, do you expect me to control the tool with my mental energy? The tool would probably be destroyed by the lasers the moment it entered.”

Luo Feng had great confidence in the Moyun Vine.

During its first cultivation, he had made it extremely strong from the very beginning. Later on, it had fed on Mu Ya Crystals. Now, the Moyun Vine’s power was already at around the 7th or 8th stage of the Planetary Rank. If the Moyun Vine and Luo Feng were to fight, unless Luo Feng used the Red Chaos Copper Mother fragment, he might not even be its match.

Because of the Moyun Vine’s strong defense, Luo Feng dared to charge in.

“That tool isn’t that easy to break,” Babata said. “Just control it with your mental energy!”

“Then that’s simple.”

Hearing Babata’s words, Luo Feng no longer worried about the tool being fragile.

After all, those lasers were powerful enough to kill a Planetary Rank expert.

He stepped into the hatch once again.

Luo Feng mentally controlled the axe-like tool, with 19 strong and flexible mental threads entwining around it.

Whoosh!

The axe tool became a streak of light!

“Crack!”

A white laser beam struck it, and the axe was immediately blasted out.

“It really didn’t break?” Luo Feng controlled the axe tool with his mental energy. “The lasers are too fast. What should I do?” He scanned the area and quickly made a decision.

“Bring out the Heavy Mountain Shield.”

The Duntian Shuttle disassembled into 365 blade pieces and quickly reassembled into the Heavy Mountain Shield.

The Heavy Mountain Shield covered the axe tool, staying close to the ground.

“Go!” Luo Feng’s eyes narrowed.

Whoosh!

The Heavy Mountain Shield and the axe tool beneath it shot forward along the ground, and at the same moment, the lasers fired!

Boom! The lasers struck the Heavy Mountain Shield.

“Scatter!”

The Heavy Mountain Shield suddenly collapsed and scattered into 365 blade pieces. The numerous blade pieces caused many lasers to target them instead, while the axe tool, staying close to the ground, moved like lightning and directly inserted itself into the tiny gap between the Wuyi metal airlock and the corridor floor.

“Shshshshsh~~”

The axe tool emitted a strange sound. The Wuyi airlock began to slowly lift! Under the airlock was the axe tool, its ultra-thin blade now split into two layers. The upper layer pushed upward, steadily lifting the entire airlock. Luo Feng stared in astonishment.

“Ba Ba Ta, you said that lifting this airlock would require someone at the 3rd or 4th stage of the Stellar Constant Rank,” Luo Feng said in amazement.

“Did you even look at what I’m using? This is the ‘Giant Force Lifter.’ Oh, in the common language of the cosmos, it’s called ‘XXX’,” Babata said. “It’s similar to what your humans call a ‘jack.’ You should know that repairing spaceships requires many tools. When I was building my ship earlier, of course I gathered many tools. The Giant Force Lifter is one of them.”

“For example, if a spaceship breaks down and some part gets stuck, and the warriors can’t move it, what do they do? They use the Giant Force Lifter!” Babata said proudly. “This Giant Force Lifter is a very high-tech tool.”

Luo Feng suddenly understood.

“Luo Feng, don’t just stand there! Hurry up and go in!” Babata urged.

Luo Feng looked toward the end of the laser corridor…

The airlock had already been lifted about a meter high, and the spaceship repair tool, the Giant Force Lifter, was still steadily lifting it higher.
