This Mech race individual held the God of Fire Source Crystal, looking at Caspian with a sense of security!
"These machine guys are really rich!" Caspian thought to himself. "Not to mention the Underworld Fire Region, worth more than 3 million Mixed Yuan Units, and his detection equipment, which is even more advanced than a King-level Immortal. Just this God of Fire Source Crystal alone, which is comparable to the self-destruction of a Peak Marquis-level Immortal, is worth tens of millions of Mixed Yuan Units!"
"Bloodcloth Marquis! I am willing to offer one million Mixed Yuan Units. Return the spaceships and mechanical puppets you took away—how about it?" The Mech race individual looked at Caspian and said.
Hearing this, Caspian couldn't help but sneer inwardly. This Mech race Immortal probably didn't think he could survive today!
…
"Okay! I agree to this deal!" Caspian stepped on the void, walking toward the Mech race individual step by step.
Seeing Caspian walking toward him, the Mech race individual's expression suddenly became tense. He shouted sternly, "Human, stop right there! Otherwise, I will detonate the God of Fire Source Crystal! Let's die together!"
At this moment, the distance between Caspian and the Mech race individual was less than a thousand kilometers. The God of Fire Source Crystal, with explosive power equivalent to the self-destruction of a Peak Marquis-level Immortal, could kill a Peak Marquis-level Immortal and seriously injure a Beginner King if detonated at this distance!
The Mech race individual didn't believe Caspian would trade his life so easily!
Yet Caspian's footsteps didn't stop. In fact, he walked even faster than before. "Don't be nervous. I'm here to trade with you!"
"Human!" The Mech race individual panicked. He could tell from Caspian's calmness—his God of Fire Source Crystal had no deterrent effect at all!
"Whoosh!"
The Mech race individual, clutching the God of Fire Source Crystal, soared into the sky, attempting to flee!
"Trying to escape?"
Caspian instantly accelerated, chasing after him. The blood-colored sword light slashed through the void, aiming straight for the fleeing Mech race individual.
"This human is mad! I've already revealed the God of Fire Source Crystal, and he's still hunting me down!" the Mech race individual roared in his mind. He couldn't understand no matter how hard he tried. "What hatred? What grievance? You're just a Marquis—why are you willing to perish with me?"
Seeing the terrifying blood-colored sword light about to cut him in half, the Mech race individual went completely mad. "Human, let's die together! Explode! Explode! Explode!"
In the next moment, he directly detonated the God of Fire Source Crystal, whose power was equal to a Peak Marquis-level Immortal's self-destruction!
At this instant—
The surrounding universe space collapsed. Centered on the Mech race individual, he instantly transformed into an incomparably terrifying super fireball, like a supernova exploding!
"Boom~~~"
Flames surged forth, hundreds and thousands of times hotter than a star's surface. They tore space apart, creating a massive black hole. Universe space fragments, star wreckage, and debris were all melted by this terrifying heat and explosive force, turning into basic particle streams.
The explosion's power was simply beyond belief!
The Mech race individual, closest to the blast, was vaporized instantly. Even his weapons and equipment were torn apart and melted into particle streams!
"This power is indeed terrifying!" Caspian muttered. The moment the enemy detonated the God of Fire Source Crystal, Caspian had already flown away at top speed. But no matter how fast he moved, he couldn't outrun the shockwave!
Seeing that he was about to be engulfed by the explosion and reduced to nothingness like the Mech race individual, Caspian stopped. A dark black war sword appeared out of thin air before him, rapidly expanding until it stood hundreds of meters high and dozens of meters wide, like a small mountain, shielding Caspian behind it!
"Buzz~~~"
Caspian's Immortal Divine Power surged into the black divine sword. Complex secret patterns lit up across its surface—so intricate that even Immortal Gods would feel dizzy trying to comprehend them!
A faint halo illuminated the dark sword!
As soon as Caspian finished empowering the blade, the shockwave arrived!
"Boom~~~"
The explosion's shockwave continuously battered the mountain-sized black sword. But it was like ants striking a tree—the Black Flame Sword remained untouched!
After all, the Black Flame Sword was a Supreme Treasure!
Even the self-destruction of a Peak Marquis-level Immortal, or the power of an ordinary Venerable, couldn't damage it!
Under Caspian's control, the Black Flame Sword absorbed and reflected the shockwave's force while shielding Caspian, pushing him backward at incredible speed.
…
Finally, after a long time, the explosion's energy began to dissipate.
Across millions of kilometers of void, all star remnants had vanished, and vast stretches of space lay shattered, slowly knitting themselves back together.
"My Divine Body lost 7%!" Caspian muttered as he waved the Black Flame Sword back into his World Ring. He quietly assessed his own condition.
He had expanded the Black Flame Sword to block the explosion, much like raising a shield. Most of the blast's force had been reflected or absorbed by the sword. But even so, less than one-thousandth of the energy seeped through—and that tiny fraction had inflicted real harm.
Just that sliver of power caused him to lose 7% of his Divine Body. If not for the Black Flame Sword's protection, Caspian would have been obliterated by the blast!
"Spoils of war!" Caspian said, then quickly flew toward the explosion's center, gathering up any surviving weapons, treasures, and remains into his World Ring.
"That Mech race individual probably sent out a distress call before he died," Caspian muttered as he summoned his spaceship. "Although I'm not afraid, there's no need for a pointless fight. Time to leave!"
…
Inside the sleek black spaceship, Caspian pulled out various treasures from his Space Ring to restore the 7% of his Divine Body he had lost. As he worked, he glanced at the progress bar for the blind box in his mind.
Progress: 100/100 (Ready to open).
Not rushing to open it, Caspian first gave himself a stern warning: "Restoring these parts of my Divine Body costs a huge amount of resources. Luckily, I killed so many Immortal Gods before and got enough treasures to fix myself up!"
"However, losing too much of my Divine Body will weaken me. If I lose too much, I might even fall into a coma and be left vulnerable to others! I need to be more cautious in the future!"
"Now then, let's open the blind box and see what's inside!"
Nervously rubbing his hands together, Caspian prepared himself. With his current talent, without a great opportunity, he would most likely remain stuck at the King level for countless years, with only a slight chance of breaking through to Venerable.
But that wasn't the future he desired. He wanted to become the 'Bloodcloth Master' who traversed the universe—and even ascend to 'Bloodcloth True God,' a being who could shake the entire universe sea!
"Pa!"
Caspian opened the white blind box with his consciousness. Inside, two items lay quietly.
One was a 'Blue Blind Box,' smaller than the white one. The other was a transparent crystal ball.
Inside the crystal ball, two figures—one black, one white—sat facing each other. One radiated peaceful energy, while the other exuded evil intent. Between them floated a mysterious chaotic bead, connecting them like an umbilical cord—like a pair of twins in a womb.
"What is this?" Caspian muttered in confusion.
Just then, explanatory text appeared alongside the crystal ball:
"Bloodline of the special race Bra from the Panlong Universe. Use it to become a Bra!"
At this, Caspian's mind spun.
Meanwhile, he noticed the post he had opened in the comment section, where readers could discuss the possible treasures hidden inside the blue blind box—and speculate on what items would provide the greatest help to him on his journey.
