Chapter 949: Chapter 715: A Pair of Chopsticks
And at almost the same moment, in the far-off tranquility of space, there was a fluctuation, and an immense amount of Mana leaked out unprecedentedly, instantly shredding a spaceship that was too close into bits with its terrifying force. In fact, apart from the "Great Explorer," all the other spacecraft in the vicinity only knew a rough location, so the shredded spaceship could only be chalked up to its exceptionally bad luck.
As one spacecraft was shredded to pieces, the rest began to desperately retreat to avoid being affected by the spreading chaotic Mana.
However, at this time, Little Zi was slowly approaching.
With the continuous surge of Mana, the stability of the space began to waver, the whole area started misaligning, distorting. Then, in an instant, accompanied by a tremendous roar, an immense shadow emerged—yes, even in the vacuum of space, there truly was a roaring sound that reached everyone’s ears. It was the Resonance of Mana within everyone’s body that the Mana shockwave had triggered!
After the gigantic shadow appeared, the densely packed Runes on it began to light up, gradually illuminating its entire outline!
"Fucking huge!"
Long Yi yelled out, for the total length of this immense structure surpassed ten kilometers!
Its shape resembled a pair of chopsticks, two independent structures parallel to each other in space, both fully etched with Runes. As the Runes continued to light up, the two parallel structures began to slowly separate, and a gigantic passage formed from Mana surprisingly appeared in the center!
Suddenly, a lightning arc hundreds of meters thick fiercely struck a nearby spaceship that hadn’t managed to escape in time, pulling it relentlessly towards the passageway. And as the spacecraft reached a certain point in the passage, only a streak of light was seen disappearing into the depths of the universe, and the spacecraft was completely gone!
This unexpected turn of events once again frightened every ship present, and all of them continued to distance themselves.
"Actually, I want to know, do I have enough space to take this thing in?" For the first time, Long Yi questioned the size of his private space.
"Your space is sufficient, in fact, your space is very, very large," the AI interface said.
"Then I’m relieved," Long Yi said, pretending to wipe sweat from his brow.
Eventually, everything settled down. Then, suddenly, a voice emerged from within the "Great Explorer."
"We are an exploration vessel of the Kelan Empire, and now the Giant’s legacy has appeared before us. As you can see, this is a big fellow that is ten kilometers long and not easily approached. Please consider this yourselves, we of the Kelan Empire are very interested in this artifact. In fact, there is a student of an Ancient Powerhouse on our ship. If possible, please leave on your own accord, so as not to harm the good relations over an object that you cannot possibly take with you, how about it?"
The voice of the Kelan Empire was broadcasted to everyone, not just a specific ship. Some ships also thought continuing to waste time here was useless, so they left quickly, but others did not.
"The Kelan Empire, huh? The one that claims to be the strongest in the entire Eastern Plane? We really don’t believe you can take away such a huge thing! If you want us, the Blood Sea pirates, to just leave, it won’t be that easy! With such a big prey, even if we have to leave, we’ll have to take a few bites first, right?"
Someone from a ship spoke, seemingly from that battered and broken spacecraft.
"If you want some meat, you’ll have to see if you’ve got the life for it. If your life is at stake later on, don’t blame us for not warning you in advance!"
The voice from the Kelan Empire was cold, and then the communication was cut off.
After that, two people flew out from the Kelan Empire’s ship. They both used Magic to protect themselves, slowly approaching the central accelerator. Not just them, the pirate ship and the other ships that had not left also sent people. All of these individuals were of Sanctuary strength, and only those with at least the power of the Sanctuary could stay in space for a long time.
They all kept a certain distance from each other, but no one made the first move. After all, whoever acted first would certainly be the first one out. Right at the front of the group was the man known to be a student of an Ancient Powerhouse, who looked back at the others with contempt in his eyes. Although every person here was a Sanctuary-level Mage, there was a difference between Sanctuary and Sanctuary; not every Sanctuary possessed such immense power! Not to mention, just by looking at the strength of the Magic shield one could tell. His Magic shield was extremely strong, it could last three hours in space without a problem. And looking at theirs, if their shields lasted an hour, that would already be impressive!
And all of this was because he had an Ancient Powerhouse as a teacher! This time, he was determined to find the most perfect Giant legacy for his teacher, and surely there were treasures inside this behemoth that was over ten kilometers long! His intuition was telling him that!
As he continued to fly, from afar he noticed a black dot against the bright backdrop of the gigantic structure, extremely conspicuous. Upon getting closer, he discovered, to his surprise, that it was a cute girl! She looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, with long hair floating in the gravity-free vacuum of space, dressed in a tight-fitting black outfit, adorned with a small apron-like decoration.
Wait a minute! Floating hair?
She wasn’t using any protective shield?
Not just he noticed this, almost everyone who had come here saw it. A cute girl just floating in space, looking at each one of them, without using any shield, yet still feeling no threat whatsoever.
Could she be dead?
The student of the Ancient Powerhouse thought to himself, while also confirming it in his heart. After all, in the vacuum of space, without a shield there would be no air, no temperature, and anyone would quickly die.
Yes, this girl was Little Zi.
Just as the student of the Ancient Powerhouse tried to approach, Little Zi slowly raised her hand.
A massive orb of light condensed, a dazzling flash of brilliance burst forth, sweeping horizontally across the front.
The student of the Ancient Powerhouse, along with the Mage accompanying him, was instantly burned to ashes, and the spacecraft behind them was sliced cleanly in two.
"It’s an Ancient Powerhouse! Run for it!"
Someone shouted in horror using mana, and immediately the crowd that was hoping to make a small profit scattered in all directions and fled. After about ten minutes, not even one spaceship could be seen.
Little Zi returned to the Great Explorer, looking at her hands with a bewildered expression.
"Hey, what’s wrong?" Long Yi waved his hand in front of her.
"I... I am truly powerful," Little Zi muttered.
"Hahaha, that’s right! The people of the Long Yi family should all be stronger than the last!" Long Yi said with boundless pride.
"Family?" Little Zi paused for a moment, then a sweet smile immediately appeared on her face.
Before stuffing the ten-kilometer behemoth into his personal space, Long Yi of course had to check the working principle of this thing. Actually, the principle was very simple; the array condensed magic, then opened a magical passage, letting anything close to this magic passage traverse it. In this way, a journey was completed. The spaceship that was sent away just now obviously wasn’t dead but had been transported elsewhere. As for where it was sent, that wasn’t something Long Yi knew.
Since this wasn’t a spaceship, it didn’t have anywhere to steer from, and according to the Giants’ design standards, this thing was made to operate steadily. Even though there was space left for maintenance, it was just too complex inside. Even if Long Yi explored inside, he wouldn’t be able to figure it out in a short period of time.
However, there was a standby switch inside. With Long Yi’s permission, he could stop the device from charging and put it into standby mode. To prevent being sent away inexplicably, Long Yi immediately put it into standby.
"Take it away!"
Long Yi slapped his hand onto the transfer station, and the ten-kilometer behemoth vanished instantly, without a trace.
Long Yi and Ai Lin both thought that this device had an extremely high energy level. If possible, by combining it with The Divine Auffa Empire’s interdimensional teleportation array, maybe they could bypass The Divine Auffa Empire and directly transport Long Yi and Ai Lin to the middle planes. Of course, this could also be an extremely lengthy process, as rewriting the arrays for this big fellow was not an easy task.
When Long Yi returned to the Great Explorer, many golden points representing the Giant’s heritage had already lit up on the star map.
"Wow! All mine! No one can compete with me!"
And so, the Great Explorer started its rampaging journey across the planes once again. But this time, Long Yi wasn’t as lucky. The Great Explorer had been able to consistently find Cosmic Stone fragments before anyone else because the Cosmic Stone itself was incredibly stable and hardly radiated any energy, making it very difficult for ordinary people to find its fragments. However, these Giant relics were different; whenever they appeared in this space, they were almost always accompanied by strong magical fluctuations. Almost anyone with decent strength could precisely detect their locations. The confrontations between magic and mages would end quickly, and then the Giant relics would find their new owners.
So when Long Yi rushed to certain locations, the battles there had already ended.
Of course, Long Yi didn’t come away empty-handed. They obtained two things: a fine gold box and a book.
The book was contained within the box, so in fact, they had only found one thing!
The book’s content was basic Giant magic, which was utterly useless to Long Yi. However, for others in this plane, it was a treasure! Although ordinary people lacked the Giants’ strength and couldn’t cast Giant magic, they could still enhance their own magical prowess by understanding the operation of Giant magic!
Neither Long Yi nor Ai Lin needed it.
But someone would.
With a rustling sound, the book made of thin fine gold plates was split into two parts.
"Here, let’s each take half. Keep this half for Saint Jialin, and I’ll take the other half to Saint Danze," Long Yi said.
"You’re just giving them such precious Giant magic; doesn’t it pain you?" Ai Lin loved books, and she felt pained watching Long Yi divide the book.
"This thing isn’t that precious; it’s just mass-produced reading material for toddlers. See this symbol on the cover?"
"Yes, what does it mean?"
"Ages one to three," Long Yi said.
Ai Lin couldn’t help but smile.
"After all, the Emperors of both nations have helped us a lot. If we can’t even bear to give them some toddler’s reading material, wouldn’t it seem like we’re petty?" Long Yi said.
"Great! So shall we say we got it through a fight between the two of us?" Ai Lin said.
"Of course! Ah... speaking of fighting, we should..."
"Go find your Little Right and Little Left!" Ai Lin kicked Long Yi away, pulling Little Zi with her. Poor Long Yi stared as they entered a certain door, and just as it was about to close, Little Zi’s hand blocked it, preventing it from shutting. Long Yi’s sense of smell was sharp; how could he not see what was going on!
With a howl, Long Yi pounced right in. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit qidian.com to vote for your favorite books and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
