Chapter 790: Quasi-Immortal

"I hope so," Ming Kong said, then focused on piloting the Ten Thousand Star Ship to accelerate.

Xu Fan glanced at the control spirit array of the Ten Thousand Star Ship and couldn’t help but comment on how complicated it was.

Initially, when avatar number two tried to modify it, he found that building a new operating system was too much trouble and gave up.

As the Ten Thousand Star Ship reached its top speed, it broke through the space in the star region and began a series of space jumps.

"This jumping speed really lives up to the reputation of a Universe Ship that can sail through the star region," Xu Fan remarked.

"Once the Ten Thousand Star Ship hits max speed, no ordinary space pirate ship can catch up. We can relax for a while," Ming Kong said as he got up from the main control seat.

Back in the Tian Region, feeling the wide road laws of the star region, Xu Fan couldn’t help but start cultivating.

He sensed many wide road laws he had never encountered before.

"Separation of Void, Holy Sun, Empty Darkness, Moon’s Shadow, Stars…" As Xu Fan felt the different wide road laws, he became somewhat entranced.

"Xingci, I need to go into seclusion for a while. Please look after these disciples and make sure they don’t do anything foolish," Xu Fan instructed.

"Understood, Master."

Ten months later, the Ten Thousand Star Ship was still jumping through space at its fastest speed.

Xu Fan slowly opened his eyes, and a golden sun and moon revolved in his gaze.

"Holy Sun, Moon’s Shadow—though they evolved from the path of yin and yang, their power is no small thing."

The power of the Holy Sun and Moon’s Shadow manifested in Xu Fan’s palm.

Gradually splitting and fusing together, a twisted micro light sphere appeared in Xu Fan’s hand.

Though only the size of a sesame seed, its power had already exceeded the limits that the middle thousand world could contain.

Ming Kong quickly arrived in the Tian Region and saw the swirling light sphere in Xu Fan’s hand, causing him to panic.

"Grand Elder, stay calm! Steady! Control the power of the Holy Sun and Moon’s Shadow in your hand."

"Don’t move. I’ll lower the speed of the Ten Thousand Star Ship right away. You can throw that light sphere out into the star region."

At that moment, Ming Kong looked at Xu Fan as if he were a madman holding a nuclear bomb button, terrified it might go off if mishandled.

Xu Fan flipped his hand, dispersing the twisting light sphere effortlessly.

"What’s the problem? Is this really that dangerous?" Xu Fan asked, confused.

Ming Kong’s jaw dropped as he stared at Xu Fan’s hand.

"Grand Elder, you just dissolved the fusion power of the Holy Sun and Moon’s Shadow so easily!!"

Even when Xu Fan subdued the Purple Jade Flood Dragon and the Golden Devourer Tiger, Ming Kong hadn’t been this shocked.

"Isn’t this pretty straightforward?"

Xu Fan reached out again, and the power of the Holy Sun reappeared, fusing and compressing until it formed that same intriguing light sphere.

Ming Kong’s heart was once again in his throat.

"When the Upper Zun was comprehending the laws of Holy Sun and Moon’s Shadow in the star region, it almost blew me to bits~," Ming Kong said, still shaken.

He knew the risks back then and kept a safe distance from the Upper Zun in the star region, but he still ended up losing half his life.

In his eyes, if even the Upper Zun couldn’t easily control this fusion power, then no Great Ascension Master in the world could master it in a short time.

But it hadn’t been long since they left the cultivation world.

That’s why he was so shocked.

"Oh, maybe he didn’t grasp the key point~"

As Xu Fan spoke, the light sphere in his hand grew to the size of a billiard ball, and he casually tossed it into the star region.

At that moment, the Ten Thousand Star Ship happened to jump, flinging the light sphere behind.

Even so, the ship felt the shockwave from the explosion.

"Grand Elder, if you threw one of those in the cultivation world, the Heavenly Way’s Will would probably go nuts," Ming Kong said, sensing the wave.

"Don’t worry; if I throw this, it’ll be somewhere else."

"Protecting the cultivation world is everyone’s duty~," Xu Fan said with a smile.

The Holy Sun and Moon’s Shadow power appeared again, transforming into a glass-like light sphere. A small sealing formation then emerged, condensing the power into a talisman.

The black-and-white talisman floated gently to Ming Kong.

"Here, Elder Ming Kong, take this as a protective charm~," Xu Fan said with a grin.

Ming Kong looked at the talisman with a conflicted expression.

This thing was basically a massive time bomb.

It could only be used to take down an enemy with you, so calling it a protective charm wasn’t far off.

"Grand Elder, this gift is too valuable~."

"It’s just a small token of thanks for arranging me and my disciples in the Tian Region," Xu Fan replied, smiling.

Ming Kong carefully took the talisman and placed it into a space ring.

"The seal is strong; it won’t detonate without special methods," Xu Fan said, noticing Ming Kong’s worried look.

"I know, but I can’t help feeling uneasy~."

Ming Kong remembered that day; even thousands of miles away, it had nearly cost him half his life.

"You’ll get used to it~," Xu Fan reassured him.

They were just over a month away from their destination.

The Ten Thousand Star Ship began to slow down, and Xu Fan could see other Universe Ships moving through space in the distance.

It felt like they were approaching a bustling city.

In the control room, Ming Kong sat back at the control panel.

"Is this stretch dangerous?"

Seeing Ming Kong’s serious expression, Xu Fan thought they’d entered a high-risk area.

Ming Kong nodded.

"Grand Elder, this area is crawling with space pirates. A ship or two isn’t a big deal, but if we run into a large pirate fleet, it could get tricky~," Ming Kong said seriously.

"Don’t worry; just keep going. I’ve got your back."

"If it comes to it, I’ll just fire one at them~."

A light sphere the size of a billiard ball reappeared in Xu Fan’s hand.

"Grand Elder, put that away! It scares me~."

As soon as the light sphere appeared, Ming Kong couldn’t help but shudder.

"What I meant is, I can imprint this fusion power onto the Ten Thousand Star Ship’s Spiritual Energy Cannonballs," Xu Fan explained with a grin.

Hearing this, Ming Kong immediately imagined the scene:

The Ten Thousand Star Ship fires a shot, and due to a delayed space jump, it takes out the entire pirate fleet along with itself.

"Don’t worry; the explosion won’t harm the Ten Thousand Star Ship," Xu Fan said, seeing Ming Kong’s expression.

"That’s good. Could you seal a few more cannonballs, Grand Elder?" Ming Kong asked eagerly.

Just then, a massive Universe Ship shaped like a giant bird locked onto the Ten Thousand Star Ship.

A spatial barrier sealed off the area.

Beside the giant bird Universe Ship, two other ships of different shapes prepared to initiate spatial transfer, aiming to surround the Ten Thousand Star Ship.

"Ship ahead, stop struggling. I’ll give you a chance to join the space pirates."

A sharp, sinister voice echoed in Xu Fan and Ming Kong’s ears.

"Grand Elder, I’m counting on you~," Ming Kong said, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.

Those three space pirate ships were old foes; every time he visited the Ancient Cang Realm, they ended up in a chase.
