The Realmless King raised an arm and waved it. Harrison spun around and landed in front of Han Xiao. His eyelids trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes. He looked like he had just woken up from a coma.
As soon as he saw Han Xiao, Harrison’s eyes immediately focused and he slowly recalled what had happened before he fainted. His face immediately twitched, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
“Your Excellency Black Star?! I… I’m still alive?!”
Han Xiao pressed down on Harrison’s shoulder and electric sparks appeared on his fingertips. He looked at the interface, nodded, and said, “Your vital signs are normal. It’s good that you’re okay.”
“I still remember the fleet being attacked… Are you here to save me?”
Harrison was touched.
He still remembered his last memory before he fainted. The overwhelming black tide swallowed the entire fleet, and the fleet could not resist at all. He did not have time to do anything, and at that moment, he thought he was done for. Jenny’s beautiful face and shiny forehead flashed in his mind, and his heart was filled with reluctance and despair. Now that he had woken up and seen Han Xiao, Harrison’s uneasy heart instantly calmed down. His fear, panic, and nervousness instantly disappeared. He knew that Black Star’s arrival meant that he was fine.
Before he could ask why Harrison felt his body turn around and look behind him. At the same time, a message appeared in his mind.
“Kid, I’m the Realmless King. Relax your body and mind and accept my infusion.”
As soon as Harrison turned around, he saw the strange sight of this dimension, as well as the terrifying body of the Lord of the Realmless. An instinctive fear rose from the depths of his soul, and it was like a chill that spread through his bones, freezing his body in an instant.
However, the feeling disappeared in the blink of an eye. If he was alone, Harrison might have felt that he had gone crazy from fear. However, the moment he thought about how Black Star, his “father-level” universe expert, was standing right behind him, an incomparable sense of security immediately dispelled all the fear in his heart.
Without fear, the explorer’s soul was immediately ignited. Harrison looked at the Realmless King, and his tone was filled with curiosity.
“Your Excellency Black Star, what sort of thing is this?”
“He’s not a thing. He’s called the Realmless King. He’s a life form from a secondary dimension. He’s basically a trash collector,” Han Xiao replied casually. He patted Harrison’s shoulder and said, “Listen to him. Relax and let him enter your body. It won’t hurt.”
As soon as he said that, the Realmless King’s eyes blinked. The black fog around him seemed to be drawn toward the confused Harrison and entered his body. Very soon, thin black and red lines appeared on the surface of his body. They looked like bulging blood vessels, but they were messy and still twisting irregularly. However, Harrison did not feel any pain. He only felt his body burning.
In places that he could not see, every cell in his body got cleansed by the black fog-like energy and underwent a positive mutation in the direction of optimization. Although he was still a low-level Super, his basic physique was rapidly improving.
After a long while, the black and red lines on Harrison’s body finally converged on his chest, forming a mark. This represented the contract formed by the Realmless King. With it, he would be able to borrow the power of the Realmless King from afar in most environments.
This kind of dimensional divine entity could project its power to life forms through contracts. This was also the main method for them to enter the main material universe. Some religious sects in the galaxy had connections with the dimensional divine spirits, and Han Xiao’s Underworld Mark followed a similar process.
The amount of power that could be borrowed depended on the individual strength of the contractor and the level of the contract. For Han Xiao’s sake, the Realmless King had made the highest level contract. In times of danger, the Realmless King could even temporarily take over and provide the ‘strong family grandpa’ service.
The treatment Harrison received was all thanks to Han Xiao.
“Damn, this Advanced Luck Glow is really…”
Han Xiao gritted his teeth in envy.
With his current level, he was already the source of luck for the owner of the Lucky Halo. Because of his existence, Harrison was able to turn this danger into a fortuitous encounter.
If I could have met someone like myself when I was weak, it would have been awesome!
It’s a pity that I’ve already reached my current maximum. Not many people have the right to be relied on by me… Han Xiao sighed in his heart.
At this time, Harrison’s pupils had already turned pure black. The Realmless King took over his body and nodded.
“I’m done. Shall we set off now?”
Han Xiao nodded and controlled the Lord’s Avatar to take out the Dimensional Travel Device. Together with Harrison, they disappeared in a flash.
He suddenly thought of something. His main body took out the container that held Bobanica and spoke to the Realmless King, “By the way, I caught this guy and forgot to return him to you.”
The Realmless King glanced at the container with a human-like look of disdain in his eyes. “Keep it. Let it out after we’re done.”
Han Xiao curled his lips and put away the container. It seemed like the liquid was bragging when it said that it was the Realmless King’s confidant.
The Lord’s Avatar needed to travel for a while. Han Xiao rose up and sat mid-air, hovering at the same height as the Realmless King’s head. The two of them stared at each other.
The Lord’s Avatar set the coordinates of the dimensions provided by the Realmless King, and it did not take long for them to reach their destination.
This was still a pitch-black secondary dimension, but it was different from the doomsday scene on the side of the Realmless King. The darkness here had a peaceful aura.
Han Xiao could sense that the energy of the entire secondary dimension was flowing toward the same location. In that direction, there was an incomplete life signal that showed something was being nurtured. “This is it. Those dimensional entities have always been here. Be careful,” the Realmless King spoke through Harrison.
Han Xiao nodded. He opened the dimensional army camp and from it appeared an endless stretch of his mechanical army. At the same time, he activated a portion of the mechanical soldiers to form a normal version of the Mechanical Deity and prepared for battle.
At this time, a few powerful energy sources approached from different directions. Three enormous figures covering the sky approached from afar and quickly occupied their sights. They had different appearances and were the external dimension gods that occupied this place. The moment they appeared, they gave off a strong sense of oppression. “Who is it ? How dare you disturb our… F*ck, Black Star!”
“We can’t win, run!”
As soon as the three dimensional entities saw the Mechanical Deity, they immediately turned around and ran.
Seeing this, both Han Xiao and the Realmless King were stunned.
He had thought that he would have to fight to solve the problem, but these dimension entities ran away like rabbits on seeing him as if they already knew him.
Has my name really spread in the secondary dimension world?
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes, his mind working rapidly.
These three dimensional entities were outsiders, and they might have come from somewhere near the shallow layer. Could it be that he had accidentally beat up some dimensional deities—who did not realize they were third-wheeling—when he was traveling with Ames a few decades ago, inadvertently making a name for himself?
Han Xiao pondered over the reason, but his hands did not slow down. The mechanical army immediately chased after them.
These three dimensional entities could not even deal with the Realmless King, and in his hands, it would only be a one-sided abuse.
Han Xiao originally wanted to kill them, but since the other party knew him, he controlled his strength and left them alive.
After a round of beating, the three dimension entities with swollen faces sat down in front of him, leaving only obedience inside them.
“This…”
The Realmless King’s face twitched. The situation was different from what he had imagined.
These people were powerful outsiders that he could not chase away no matter how hard he tried. But the moment they met Black Star, they were so terrified they had to run away but could not even escape being caught and beaten up. This made the Realmless King feel disillusioned.
Seeing Black Star take action with his own eyes, the Realmless King was afraid, but at the same time, he was also glad that he did not choose to be stubborn against Han Xiao. The top experts of the main material universe were indeed not to be messed with.
At the same time, Han Xiao was interrogating the three dimension entities with his arms crossed.
“Where have the three of you heard of me?”
“We… We’ve seen you kill dimension deities…” The three dimensional deities who were strong enough to dominate an entire region in the secondary dimension had become extremely docile.
It was only after Han Xiao finished listening that he realized that there was indeed a reason for these three to come to the Realmless King’s territory. These three dimension deities originally resided near the ‘secondary dimensional layer’ controlled by the three Universal Civilizations. As the Universal Civilizations were planning to expand there, the three of them had planned to migrate.
A few decades ago, when he and Ames were traveling, they passed by the area and beat up another dimension deity. The three of them witnessed the tragic scene and were filled with fear. Thus, they decided to migrate and enter the depths of the secondary dimension. In the end, they came to the Realmless King’s territory many years ago and finally met someone alone. They planned to devour the Realmless King before continuing their journey.
However, the three of them did not expect to be unable to defeat the other party. They originally wanted to leave, but they coincidentally discovered this secondary dimension with a special embryo. They instinctively felt that eating this life would be very beneficial to them, so they stayed on.
“What a coincidence.”
Han Xiao did not know what to say.
If this mission was given to someone else, the difficulty would be enough to meet the highest reward offered. Ordinary Beyond Grade As would be served up on a silver platter in front of these three dimensional entities. But if it was him, he would not even need to move a finger. Having a high Reputation was just that convenient.
“Well, we’ve told you everything we know. Can you let us go…” A dimensional entity carefully spoke out. “Don’t even think about it.”
Han Xiao rejected without hesitation.
At this time, the Realmless King could not help but say, “Black Star, this secondary dimension has been taken back. I shall first occupy this place again.”
As he spoke, black liquid appeared on his body, wanting to fill up this dimension and return it to being his territory.
Just as Han Xiao was about to agree, he suddenly paused and changed his words. “Don’t be so anxious. Let me see what the embryo looks like first.”
“My child hasn’t even formed yet. Is this necessary?”
“This is the first time I’ve seen such a phenomenon. I’m just curious.”
Han Xiao replied casually before flying toward the breeding ground. The Realmless King had no choice but to follow behind.
After advancing for some distance, Han Xiao saw a grayish-white sphere floating in the middle of the secondary dimension. It was like fog being condensed together before being wrapped up by a translucent membrane. Energy flowed in from all directions to nourish this embryo.
In his senses, this embryo had an extremely vigorous life force, as dazzling as dozens of stars put together.
Han Xiao looked inside and saw that within the gray fog flowing in the membrane, there seemed to be a long figure flashing around like a dragon.
The Realmless King came over and helplessly lamented, “It’s not even born yet. What’s there to see?”
Han Xiao ignored him and touched the embryo. Although the membrane was thin, it was very pliable and tough.
At this moment, the item introduction popped up on the interface.
Han Xiao cursory glanced at the interface before stopping short. He slowly turned to look at the Realmless King with a smile that was yet not a smile.
“You said… this is your child?”
“What’s wrong?” The Realmless King met Han Xiao’s gaze and suddenly felt a little guilty.
“Bullsh*t. No wonder you took the risk to order me to help you snatch it back. It turns out to be such a magical item… Are you betting that I won’t be able to discover its wonders?”
Han Xiao flicked the embryo with his finger, and the sarcasm in his tone could not hide the joy within.
“Speaking half-truths? You almost fooled me.”
Sorry this time chapter repeat was due to mistake.
Chapter 1369 - Lucky Halo, Forever God!
Chapter 1369 Lucky Halo, Forever God!
“…You’re mistaken. This is my child. It’s just mutated slightly.”
The Realmless King pretended to be calm.
Keep pretending!
Han Xiao snorted inwardly and ignored him. He turned to look at the item introduction on the interface.
[Pivotal Snake Egg]
(Pivotal Snake, also known as World Devouring Snake, is a rare species that lives in chaotic space stream. It is a creature that lives alone and feeds on secondary dimensions and special Information Form Phenomenons. Every World Devouring Snake will only lay seven eggs in its lifetime. After laying eggs, it will abandon them in the space storm, allowing the eggs to drift freely. When the egg encounters a secondary dimension, it will automatically parasitize and turn into an embryo state, absorbing multiple secondary dimensions until it completely matures. At the same time, Pivotal Snake eggs have an extremely strong attraction to some secondary dimension life forms. Eating them as infants is very beneficial. It has a certain chance of strengthening one’s talent and raising one’s life level.]
Remarks: The origin of this species is closely related to the World Tree. It can eat the body of the World Tree and has a certain level of restraint.
The item introduction was not long, but the information it revealed shocked Han Xiao.
The Pivotal Snake was like a space louse back then. It was not in the database of the three Universal Civilizations, and it had never been discovered in his previous life. Even to him, it was a foreign species. What surprised Han Xiao the most was that this creature was actually related to the World Tree. The item introduction even stated that it was the World Tree’s nemesis to a certain extent, which surprised him.
The World Tree was a unique Space Wonder, but there just happened to be a type of creature that could restrain it. Could it be that there was always a paper to every rock?
Perhaps the Pivotal Snake was, in a sense, a companion species of the World Tree, born to restrain it? If one thought deeper, what was the origin of the World Tree…
All kinds of guesses flashed through Han Xiao’s mind, but he did not have a clue.
However, there was one thing he could confirm. If he did not have the item introduction on the interface, he would definitely not have been able to discover the uniqueness of this embryo. The Realmless King had claimed that this was his child, so it would be difficult for him to investigate further. It would be difficult for him to discover anything strange, and he would most likely be fooled by the Realmless King. This was probably what the Realmless King had planned.
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Han Xiao’s mind. He raised his hand and pressed on the Realmless King’s shoulder.
“Do you really think I
don’t know what’s what? This can’t be your child. Are you lying to me because you’re worried that I’ll be tempted by this thing? Our deal needs to be honest, and my impression of you is quite good at the moment, so I’ll give you a chance to come clean. If you still lie to me, then don’t blame me for holding a grudge. No matter how my civilization and the World Tree fight in the future, I’ll guarantee that you’ll definitely die.”
The Realmless King’s face twitched.
Although he had something on Han Xiao, it could not protect him forever. Facing Han Xiao’s threat, he was still very weak.
His original intention of lying was to not let Black Star investigate further to avoid more problems. After all, as long as they came to this secondary dimension, they could feel the birth of a certain life-form, which would easily make people curious. Furthermore, the embryo had a special attraction to the dimension deities. If he did not claim to have a special relationship with it, he was worried that Black Star would be tempted.
He had originally thought that since Black Star was a guest of the main universe, he might not be able to feel the attraction of the embryo. As long as he did not study it, he would not be able to discover anything amiss, and he would be able to fool everyone. However, he did not expect Black Star to see through it so easily, causing his plan to fail. Of course, he could not rule out the possibility that Black Star was trying to trick him, but since he had made a threat, the Realmless King was not confident.
After hesitating for a while, the Realmless King said helplessly, “If you know what this is, why ask me?”
“I just want to hear it from you.”
Han Xiao crossed his arms. He was mainly curious about how much the Realmless King knew about the Pivotal Snake Egg.
If he was only tempted by the ‘special attraction’ shown by the item introduction, then the Realmless King’s goal should also be to wait for the embryo to mature and eat it. However, if he knew the origins of the Pivotal Snake, then the Realmless King’s actions would be a little subtle.
