Chapter 468 - Captain Doofus Evolves and the Heavens Tremble (Part 1)

The Void Grass was born in the void and advanced so quickly that even the Void God couldn’t stop it. Once it reached the pinnacle of the void, it naturally sought to broaden its horizons and tore through the world barrier to enter the Stellar Moon World.

World barriers were typically the strongest part of each world, but against the Void Grass’ Star Splitting Sword Intent, it tore like paper. Such a commotion was obviously detected by the Void Mantis and the two inevitably fought. Unfortunately, without the Space Dragon’s help, the Void Mantis wasn’t able to suppress the Void Grass. In the end, they made a three-part agreement and the Void Grass became the first to enter the Stellar Moon World by relying on its own strength.

As it traveled the world, it met the Six-Path Flower and the Divine Tree. Together, they opened the Plant Era by challenging the Chaos Dragon God. Its signature skill, the Star Splitting Sword Intent, proved to be a terrifying ability. It was familiar with the Six-Path Flower enough to know that the sword intent wasn’t suitable for it.

Luckily, the swordgrass accompanying the Six-Path Flower was one of the plants it enlightened at the dawn of the Plant Era. Visually, the swordgrass and the Void Grass looked very similar. The only difference was that the Void Grass was pitch black while the longleaf swordgrass was emerald green. Even if the swordgrass wasn’t able to reach its level after inheriting the sword intent, it should still be able to become a valuable aide to Six-Path Flower.

The Six-Path Flower nodded in agreement. Although it never spent time with the Void Grass in this lifetime, it could clearly feel how much the Void Grass treasured their friendship. It didn’t stop thinking about the war even after it died.

"That’s right. The war isn’t over, but I will definitely put an end to it by slaying the Chaos Dragon God."

"I believe in you," the Void Grass whispered.

"You’re a lucky little thing. The biggest fortuitous encounter this time is unexpectedly for you. Do not waste this opportunity," the Six-Path Flower said as it turned to the swordgrass.

It gently pushed the swordgrass toward the Void Grass.

“Whoosh.”

The swordgrass was clearly confused as it never expected such a windfall.

I thought I’m supposed to advance by cutting Sudden Death King? Why am I learning sword intent?

Wait, I get it now. I’m not strong enough to cut through Sudden Death King’s scales with my current strength. I’m learning the Star Splitting Sword Intent and Sudden Death King is a Star Vortex Dragon. I already have the Dragon Slaying Sword Intent. If I combine the two then it will be the perfect technique to counter Sudden Death King!

“Woof!”

Captain Doofus was also very excited for the swordgrass and gave it some encouragement. It would ultimately benefit from any opportunity the swordgrass got as it would be able to comprehend the new sword intent through the Kinship skill. A stronger weapon would increase its combat ability as well.

Shit.

Sudden Death King began to sweat. Everyone’s excited faces looked quite fearsome from its perspective. It had just evolved and it was able to accept not being able to clear Mythical secret realms, but now it was even going to be bullied by a blade of grass. This was blatantly unfair.

Star Dragon Shield Spirit: TT.TT

Little Circle shared in its master’s sorrows.

"How unfortunate." Dark Crow, Baby Cloud, and Manager Ying shook their head in unison, pitying the pair.

At least this sword intent didn’t end up in the hands of an enemy. Against the rest of the world, Sudden Death King’s defense is still impregnable.

With Six-Path Flower and Captain Doofus’ encouragement, the Bloodthirsty Swordgrass flew forward. It had since evolved into a new species but it still started out as a swordgrass whose ancestors were once enlightened by the Void Grass.

"Its talent is decent.."

Sensing the swordgrass’ multiple sword intents, the Void Grass was reassured that it was a good candidate for receiving its inheritance.

"It will be painful, but you must bear it."

It tried to be gentle, but the process itself was inherently a brutal one. After just a few moments, the void rippled and the sword intent permeating the surrounding space began to fuse into the swordgrass’ body. Infusing the body with sword intent was a quick and dirty way of transmitting techniques. From the looks of it, the Void Grass wanted to use the process to induce the swordgrass to evolve again.

Normally, this would be a dangerous gambit, but since the swordgrass and Void Grass shared a common origin, the process went a lot more smoothly.

The swordgrass let out an agonizing scream as its body underwent a complete transformation.

"Its talent turned out to be impressive."

As the swordgrass continued to transform, the Void Grass became increasingly impressed. Its talent could be considered in the top three of all swordgrasses throughout history. Its chances of surviving the inheritance process increased once more.

As everyone focused on the swordgrass’ evolution, something made them turn their heads. While the swordgrass was transforming, Captain Doofus sat on the castle with its eyes closed. A blinding light suddenly poured out of its body. Sudden Death King who was nearby felt a stinging sensation.

Buzz!

When Captain Doofus opened its eyes again, its pupils had a galaxy of stars within them.

It had comprehended the Star Splitting Sword Intent! The Kinship skill combined with its extraordinary comprehension allowed it to comprehend the sword intent by sensing it rushing through the void. Facing the stunned looks from Six-Path Flower and Void Grass, it gave a cocky smirk.

This sword intent is mine now!

"What the hell is going on?" The Void Grass was in disbelief.

It was passing on the sword intent to the swordgrass, so how did a dog beat it to the punch?

"The swordgrass is that husky’s kin. The swordgrass’ talent is so high thanks to that dog." Six-Path Flower’s mouth twitched as it gave an explanation.

Void Grass: ?

Why does a dog have such high talents for swordplay? It even surpasses the swordgrass I personally awakened.

The Void Grass couldn’t process it no matter how hard it tried.

Not long after, the swordgrass finally completed its transformation.

[Species: Star Splitting Swordgrass]

[Attributes: Grass, Space, Metal]

[Species Rank: Superior Overlord]

[Level: 60]

[Skills: Star Splitting Sword Intent (A top-level sword intent specializing in cutting apart celestial bodies. Can allow a blade of grass to split the sun, moon, and stars!)]

"Interesting." The Void Grass made a brief comment on the swordgrass’s evolution before turning its attention back to Captain Doofus.

"It relied on the feedback from the Kinship skill to comprehend the Star Splitting Sword Intent first. It looks like you found yourself some powerful allies, Six-Path Flower. Hmm? I’m also detecting the Void Mantis’ aura on it."

"That’s right. We came to the void to help the dog increase its Space powers by hunting void beasts. It is close to evolving and is currently making its final preparations."

"I see. Does that mean its power and the swordgrass are directly correlated?"

"Yes."

"In that case, I will help it some more by hunting some void beasts with it," the Void Grass said as it quickly flew over to Captain Doofus.

Is it here to cut me down because I stole its skill?

Woof!

Captain Doofus bristled up, preparing to fight.

"Relax." Lu Ran comforted Captain Doofus and smiled.

From what the Void Grass said, it was about to go the extra mile for Captain Doofus.

Swoosh!

Although the Void Grass wasn’t sure why the dragon was staring at it with resentment, its ethereal form slowly melted into Captain Doofus’ body.

"Carefully sense my power inside of you."

Woof?

Captain Doofus was bewildered. As the Void Grass entered its body, it could feel its strength undergoing a complete metamorphosis. When it closed its eyes, it was surprised to find that it could clearly sense the surrounding area. It could detect the aura of multiple void beasts within the void. There were so many that Captain Doofus thought they were about to lay siege to the forbidden region. Dark Crow’s prediction came true once more.
