Chapter 439: Xu Fan’s Conjecture

“The spiritual energy core is completely damaged.”

“The main body of the Star Ship has multiple fractures; the skeleton is split in two.”

“The Formation on the bottom is entirely destroyed, and the eight node artifacts are all shattered due to overload.”

“There are no casualties, but a few people have minor soul injuries.”

Listening to Grape’s report, Xu Fan’s expression grew increasingly serious.

They were currently in the Extreme Void Domain of the beast race, and at any moment, they could be discovered by the giant beast race warships.

If that happened, they would be like meat on the chopping board.

“Let’s hide for now,” Xu Fan said as he released tens of thousands of puppets from his Daoist artifact palace.

The puppets spread around the Star Ship, forming a hidden Formation.

At that moment, everyone on the Star Ship gathered around Xu Fan, waiting for the next order.

Especially Spirit Cut, who stood beside Xu Fan, feeling rather uneasy, as if he were the root cause of this issue.

“Everyone, return to your own cabins and rest. We might have to wander in the demon realm for a long time.”

“But it’s not a big deal; as long as we find a natural passage between the two realms in the demon realm, we can return to the Human Realm,” Xu Fan said casually, feeling as if they were just sightseeing in the demon realm.

As everyone went back to rest, only Spirit Cut, Respected Elder Ling Xiu, and Xu Yuexian remained beside Xu Fan.

“Respected Elder Ling Xiu, I’m sorry for delaying you,” Spirit Cut said with a wry smile.

“It’s fine; what’s meant to happen will happen. Besides, our situation isn’t too terrible,” Respected Elder Ling Xiu replied.

At that moment, a small star shot through the Star Ship like a comet.

The already repaired Star Ship abruptly fractured in two again.

“……”

Respected Elder Ling Xiu’s expression turned awkward.

“No problem; we’ll just repair it again,” Xu Fan said nonchalantly.

“To get the Star Ship moving again, we’ll need at least half a year.”

“So I plan to take the Star Ship and the people aboard into my Daoist artifact palace.”

“I’ll sit in an artifact-level Star Ship and look for a natural passage between the two realms in the demon realm,” Xu Fan explained, laying out his complete plan.

“Grand Elder’s plan is indeed feasible. With Respected Elder Ling Xiu and me protecting the Grand Elder, we will surely return to the Human Realm quickly,” Spirit Cut nodded.

Feeling like the trigger of this entire incident, Spirit Cut was eager to prove himself.

“No need; I can handle it alone. If I encounter any danger, I will ask the two of you to join the fight,” Xu Fan smiled.

“Master, can’t I stay by your side?” Xu Yuexian said with tearful eyes, unable to bear missing such a great adventure.

“You can come inside. I’m a smaller target, so I can hide easily,” Xu Fan stated.

“Grand Elder, how about leaving me behind? We can chat and ease the boredom,” Spirit Cut suggested, wanting to stay as well.

At that moment, Xu Fan did not waste words but directly made a spell seal, transforming into an iron-eating beast.

At this moment, Xu Fan looked exactly like a genuine iron-eating beast, both in appearance and spirit.

“Do you all understand what I mean now?” Xu Fan asked, looking at the three with his panda-like eyes.

“……”

They wanted to complain that if they were a bother, he should have said so earlier.

“First, go rest. Once I’m fully recovered, we’ll leave.”

The giant turtle’s earlier strike had slightly harmed Xu Fan’s spirit.

Three days later, all the repairs on the Star Ship were complete; the remaining matters could only be discussed once they returned to the sect.

“You all rest well in the palace. It will take me at least one year and maybe up to five years to bring you back to the Human Realm,” Xu Fan said, waving his hand. With a tremendous amount of spiritual energy expended, he stored the entire Star Ship into the Daoist artifact palace.

The Daoist artifact palace that Xu Fan carried was crafted by artifact great masters, with an internal space spanning a hundred miles, more than enough to accommodate a Star Ship.

“Consider this an opportunity for training; we can’t just stay idle in the sect,” Xu Fan said as he took out a small spaceship crafted by his first clone.

He then piloted the small spaceship towards the demon race continent.

“Fortunately, my first clone crafted this thing back then; otherwise, it would have really been troublesome,” Xu Fan chuckled.

At that moment, Xu Fan was in the form of an iron-eating beast, making all his movements look incredibly clumsy and adorable.

Originally, Xu Fan had planned to transform into one of the royal family members of the beast race.

However, after some thought, he felt that it would be too ostentatious.

Then, following Grape’s suggestion, he chose to become an iron-eating beast.

“I wonder if the Extreme Void Domain of the demon realm is safe,” Xu Fan muttered, gazing at the distant stars.

Just then, an enormous dragon, thousands of feet long, suddenly appeared, sweeping past Xu Fan’s small spaceship, its tail knocking the small spaceship away with its momentum.

The dragon soared for several miles before curiously looking back, sensing that it had just bumped into something.

At this moment, Xu Fan’s small spaceship had already been propelled hundreds of miles away by inertia.

Xu Fan’s heart raced quickly until the dragon flew far away, finally calming down.

“This is way too dangerous,” Xu Fan said, clutching his chest.

Following that, under Xu Fan’s careful control, the small spaceship dodged several giant beasts.

Xu Fan’s expression grew serious inside the small spaceship.

In just a short time, Xu Fan had encountered four giant beasts.

“Isn’t it better to kill these giant beasts and turn them into Spirit Material?” At this point, Xu Fan suddenly froze.

He thought of a possibility: the beast race might have some secret techniques to tame the giant beasts.

Or they could sign a contract, making them obey the beast race.

“If that’s the case, wouldn’t the human race be finished in the Extreme Void Domain?” A cold sweat trickled down Xu Fan’s forehead.

Although this wasn’t something he needed to worry about, as a lazy person, he should still pay attention to matters concerning the Human Realm.

“After returning to the Human Realm, I need to inform the Elder Council about this,” Xu Fan felt the Elder Council should be aware, so he wanted to gather more specific information.

At this moment, Xu Fan didn’t rush back to the demon race continent; instead, he started investigating the situation of the giant beasts in the demon realm.

After observing, Xu Fan found that the giant beasts in the Extreme Void Domain of the demon realm typically moved within specific areas.

Once he clarified these situations, Xu Fan piloted the small spaceship towards the demon race continent.

At this time, at the fusion point of the two realms, the Golden Winged Roc was still watching its lifelong enemy.

“Star Spirit brat, your spatial seal doesn’t seem very sturdy,” the Golden Winged Roc laughed.

“Oh? Did your little turtle discover something interesting?” the Star Spirit asked.

Then, the giant turtle, just returned to the Golden Winged Roc, flashed a look of confusion, then quickly regained composure.

“Is that so? How interesting~” the Star Spirit laughed.

“Don’t you know if it’s sturdy or not?”

“Your big beast race’s artifact masters should be quite busy, right?” the Star Spirit said with a smile.

“Don’t be too pleased. Once our sect’s artifact masters break your spatial seal…”

“Then it will be…”

Before the Golden Winged Roc could finish speaking, the Star Spirit interjected: “It will be the day I break the spatial seal.”
