Baru, originally furious, deflated like a punctured ball upon hearing Ding Huan’s words, his anger extinguishing completely.
Right, if everything’s gone now, what is there left to discuss about consequences?
If Zang Yu Ding Hui surrendered to Ding Huan, maybe there was still a chance for consequences, but resisting...
Baru glanced subconsciously at the ten corpses still lying on the ground, completely losing any thought of resistance.
"I have another method, called Soul Search. You might not have heard of it, no worries, I can try it on you," Ding Huan said and walked toward Baru.
Soul Search was indeed something Ding Huan had heard of, but claiming he could execute it was an exaggeration.
If he really tried Soul Searching, the only thing he could do was to use True Yuan to infiltrate the other’s skull and muddle up their brain matter.
Baru shuddered subconsciously upon hearing Ding Huan’s words.
He knew about Soul Search—it was one of the torturous methods from the Zhan Shen Continent. He would rather die than undergo Soul Search.
Moreover, he had many secrets he didn’t wish to reveal.
"I can let you take over the Blossom God Battle Disc No. 1, but you cannot Soul Search me," Baru didn’t beg for his life. He knew Ding Huan would definitely not spare him.
He was not Zang Yu Ding Hui; he was quite rational.
"Alright," Ding Huan agreed without hesitation to Baru’s condition.
Taking over a battle disc was simple—as long as the warship’s master agreed, anyone could take control of the battle disc.
In just a few minutes, Ding Huan had completely taken over the massive Blossom God No. 1.
Ding Huan’s Divine Will immediately focused on the Energy Cabin.
To Ding Huan’s delight, there were at least a hundred thousand Divine Crystal Stones in the Energy Cabin. The real power source seemed to be an Energy Vein.
Ding Huan estimated that the vein was at least ten meters long.
Besides, there were at least a hundred thousand energy particles.
"Haha, Brother Ding, I’ve taken over Blossom God No. 2…" Zhong Chi’s laughter bellowed from outside.
The powerhouses of the Zhan Shen Continent were holding a meeting on the main battle disc, and Ding Huan swept them in one fell swoop. Arriving at the second battle disc, Zhong Chi barely exerted any effort to take control.
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
Ding Huan was about to respond when his expression suddenly changed. He had just rushed to the entrance of the first battle disc only to see a spaceship parked outside soar into the sky and vanish in an instant.
Someone had escaped?
"Brother Ding, a warship just fled; should we chase it?" Zhong Chi also saw the fleeing warship.
"Big brother, I know who it was," Qi Xinyue and Lao Liu hurried over.
"Who?" asked Ding Huan.
"That Shi Keling. He boarded the warship quite a while before I noticed. I hurried to tell you, but didn’t expect him to be so quick; it took him just a dozen seconds to control the warship and flee," Qi Xinyue said nervously.
After all, while Ding Huan and Zhong Chi were busy, she failed to keep watch over the remaining warship.
Ding Huan waved his hand: "Don’t blame yourself. That guy is much stronger than you and is also an expert in modifying these warships’ programs."
What puzzled Ding Huan was how Shi Keling managed to reattach his severed leg.
Even if it was reattached, it hadn’t even been a month; how could that guy have recovered so well?
But knowing it was Shi Keling, Ding Huan didn’t feel like catching the guy anymore.
Firstly, he definitely couldn’t catch him. Shi Keling would have severed all connections with the battle disc immediately upon taking the warship, and perhaps even destroyed the connection programs.
Secondly, the guy would definitely not dare to return to Earth. With his cunning nature, unless he was sure he could defeat him, he wouldn’t come back.
Ding Huan also greatly admired the guy. He had found such an accurate timing and managed to run away with the warship just right.
If Shi Keling was a bit earlier and spotted by him, he would definitely kill Shi Keling before heading to the battle disc. If there was no time, he would have let Zhong Chi entangle Shi Keling.
If Shi Keling was a bit later, after he had settled the matters on the battle disc, he wouldn’t have been able to escape.
But the timing Shi Keling chose was when Ding Huan was accepting the authority of the battle disc, which meant his Divine Will naturally would not extend outside, and exactly then did the guy unlock the spaceship’s program.
The timing, it was as if he had consulted with Ding Huan himself.
From Shi Keling’s timing, Ding Huan affirmed two things: although cunning, in the face of life and death, Shi Keling was incredibly bold.
Secondly, Shi Keling must have calculated that Ding Huan would come here to discipline the people of Zhan Shen Continent, and was sure Ding Huan would win, so he stayed lurking nearby, just waiting for him to come.
Such meticulous consideration—if true, that guy was exceedingly thorough.
"Brother Ding, shall we now go and meet with the Federation Army?" Zhong Chi asked, extremely excited.
Having taken control of the second warship and thoroughly subdued these invaders, what could be more exhilarating?
"Wait a second."
Ding Huan finished speaking and looked at Zang Yu Ding Hui: "Didn’t you say that only you had access to Blossom God Battle Disc No. 2?"
Zang Yu Ding Hui’s complexion turned somewhat pale, naturally, he wasn’t the only one with access to the No. 2 battle disc.
Seeing Zang Yu Ding Hui’s complexion, Ding Huan said indifferently, "It seems your value is limited."
"No, I also know the way to the transmission vortex to Zhan Shen Continent…" Zang Yu Ding Hui blurted out in desperation.
Baru glanced at the ashen Cangyuding without a word.
He himself was about to die, what happened to Zhan Shen Continent had nothing to do with him.
"Where?" Ding Huan asked calmly.
Though his tone was calm, his heart was anything but.
The Cosmic Transmission Vortex, that was what he urgently wanted to know about. It might be his only way to leave Earth.
"It’s on Baru." Cangyuding pointed at Baru.
Without waiting for Ding Huan to ask, Baru had already grabbed a leather pouch from his own body and threw it to Ding Huan.
Ding Huan had clearly seen everyone’s pouches as he collected them earlier, the only reason he hadn’t collected Baru’s was because he wasn’t dead yet.
Ding Huan focused his Divine Will inside the pouch, finding over a hundred Divine Crystal Stones and some potions he didn’t recognize.
Finally, Ding Huan pulled out a gray-brown spherical object, a mysterious material that surprisingly was a directional sensor.
Looking at the dense patterns on the surface of the sphere, Ding Huan felt dizzy after only a while.
It was impressive; he was an eighth-level gene cultivator with Divine Will, yet he couldn’t observe these patterns for long.
The Divine Will penetrated inside, finding the sphere also densely patterned.
"This can sense the Cosmic Transmission Vortex, and a red directional arrow appears on the sphere as soon as it gets close to a vortex," Baru explained calmly.
He complied with Ding Huan, simply not wanting to be Soul Searched.
"Is that so?" Ding Huan’s gaze fell on Cangyuding.
Cangyuding nodded hurriedly, "Yes, this is an inheritance from Zhan Shen Continent, and there are only two Cosmic Guidance Balls in the entirety of Zhan Shen Continent, this is one of them."
Ding Huan nodded, then raised his hand, and a Wind Blade slashed across Cangyuding’s neck, who hadn’t even anticipated his own death and lost consciousness.
Baru watched Cangyuding being killed without any surprise; it would have been surprising if Ding Huan hadn’t killed him.
"Brother Ding, you can’t kill this guy. We have to hand him over to the Federation; this concerns the future of Earth." Seeing Ding Huan kill Cangyuding, Zhong Chi, worried that Ding Huan might kill Baru next, hastily persuaded.
Ding Huan sent another Wind Blade, and Baru’s head was chopped off just the same.
Zhong Chi’s mouth hung open; despite his persuasion, Ding Huan had still killed Baru.
"Lao Zhong, don’t bring up the Federation to me; I can assure you, keeping this Baru would only have been a future disaster.
Ha, those alliances, those federations, I know them too well." Ding Huan chuckled, giving Zhong Chi an explanation.
Zhong Chi sighed, powerless.
Ding Huan had a significant prejudice against the Federation, and there was no persuading him.
Ding Huan moved to the spaceship’s control panel, pressing the button to summon the soldiers.
In a brief time, over thirty soldiers from Zhan Shen Continent burst out.
Zhong Chi numbly watched the dozens of soldiers who rushed out and finally said, "I thought I had killed all these men, how are there still dozens left?"
"Stop talking and go kill them," Ding Huan said.
Without hesitating, Zhong Chi charged down, his Starry Sky Blade swirling with Sword Light.
Without the Undying Spiders and Beam Crossbows, these ordinary soldiers stood no chance against Zhong Chi.
Clearly old habits died hard for Zhong Chi, and he ended up sparing two men.
Yet Ding Huan didn’t care for his feelings, raising his hand and sending two Wind Blades, killing the trouble Zhong Chi had left behind.
"Ah, Brother Ding, what are you doing..." Zhong Chi said somewhat helplessly.
"Lao Zhong, do me a favor and move these things to my Blue Star," Ding Huan said, already opening the Energy Cabin.
Revealing a ten-meter-long Energy Vein.
"Little brother, are you moving this energy?" Zhong Chi asked in surprise, believing it should be handed over to the Federation.
"Why wouldn’t I move my spoils of war?" Ding Huan retorted.
Zhong Chi was helpless, recalling the energy on the second Battle Disc and quickly asked, "Brother, what about the energy on the second Battle Disc?"
Ding Huan’s Divine Will had already seen the six or seven meters long Energy Vein on the second Battle Disc.
According to Ding Huan’s plan, it was also to be moved.
Zhong Chi quickly said, "Little brother, I’ve taken control of that second Battle Disc, leave it to me. I’m planning to take the Disc to the human corridor defense line to exterminate those Fierce Beasts."
Ding Huan hesitated then said, "Alright, but I won’t leave you any Divine Crystal Stones though, having too many of those isn’t useful for you, it only benefits others."
"Leave me a thousand; I’ll give some to Qu Yi later," Zhong Chi quickly reminded Ding Huan.
Ding Huan had Qi Xinyue and Lao Liu help transport nearly a hundred thousand Divine Crystal Stones and the Energy Vein to the Blue Star.
The Blossom God Battle Disc was a valuable item, but Ding Huan was clear that if he truly planned to leave Earth for space, the Disc wasn’t practical—too big and too wasteful.
Certainly, if it weren’t for those two Energy Veins, the Battle Disc wouldn’t have made it here at all.
