Chapter 593 - Terrifying to This Extent (Part 2)

Six-Path Flower intervened in this battle, extending a vine to drag the Golden Toad and Jade Rabbit into its Hell Domain. After entering it, the Golden Toad and Jade Rabbit were no longer affected by the world’s backlash.

Six-Path Flower slowly said, “If one is strong enough, they can still shield against or even ignore this kind of world backlash.”

“Right.” Lu Ran nodded.

Six-Path Flower was quite surprised. “However, one must be much stronger than Mystic Turtle. It’s only Low Legendary and not a combat type, yet it can still suppress two other Low Legendaries, effortlessly at that. From this perspective, how much pressure law-based lifeforms can assert on other species is similar to that of dragon species against ordinary animal species.”

“Strong, but not outrageously so,” Lu Ran said after watching the entire battle.

Not bad. I can safely let Mystic Turtle fight other familiars in the team!

“

Woof!

”

After Six-Path Flower and Lu Ran finished speaking, Captain Doofus couldn’t wait to step forward, wanting to spar.

Facing Captain Doofus, Mystic Turtle was startled and quickly said, “I surrender.”

Seeing this, a gleam of light flashed in Captain Doofus’ intelligent eyes. Not caring about the sorry state the Golden Toad and Jade Rabbit got themselves into, it swung its paw, releasing a blade of sword qi.

“I really surrender! I’m not cooperating with you!” Mystic Turtle cried.

Toads and rabbits are one thing, but I really don’t want to fight this mad dog!

Space changed. The same feeling of the sky falling pressed down on Captain Doofus and the sword qi it launched. However, just as Six-Path Flower said, it wasn't as effective on a stronger opponent.

Even under the powerful pressure, Captain Doofus could still stand its ground. Although it was gritting its teeth, it wasn’t as hard-pressed as the Golden Toad was earlier. Its sword qi was still tearing through space, straight toward Mystic Turtle.

“Damn it! I said I surrender!”

After seeing this, Mystic Turtle turned and ran. It was extremely scared, and it did not want to be hit by Captain Doofus. However, ultimately, the sword qi still landed on Mystic Turtle, sending it flying.

Yet, precisely at this moment, Captain Doofus’ expression changed. It felt that the intensity of the world’s backlash had increased several times compared to before it hit Mystic Turtle.

“

Hmm?

” Lu Ran and Six-Path Flower also slightly turned their heads.

Could the backlash get even stronger?

“

Woof, woof, woof!

”

At this moment, Captain Doofus seemed to see hallucinations before its eyes. Its memories regressed to when it was that powerless puppy, constantly tied to the experimental table for various physical experiments.

Captain Doofus was lost for an instant, its eyes turning red.

Fortunately, as a sword light from somewhere in its memory shattered the experimental table, it immediately recovered and broke free from the world’s backlash. After recovering, it immediately shook its head vigorously and looked at Lu Ran.

“It can actually affect to this extent? Is it because Blue Planet itself carries your history, so it found the best way to affect you...?” Lu Ran was still shocked, finding it somewhat unbelievable.

“

Woof!

” Captain Doofus cursed very harshly.

Why does Blue Planet back up this kind of black history? I’ll remember this grudge. I will go research the History-Slashing Sword Intent.

“The degree of backlash should differ when we're in a different world. We can try again in Stellar Moon. As a world inside the Genesis Dragon’s body, Stellar Moon might allow Mystic Turtle’s life, death, time, and space backlash to be stronger. After all, the current Blue Planet has even lost its stellar core,” Six-Path Flower said.

Dark Crow, seeing Captain Doofus finish testing, also wanted to try the strength of General Mystic Turtle.

“Next, let me try, let me try!”

It could even affect Captain Doofus? Law-based lifeforms are scary!

***

Soon, after multiple experiments in both worlds, Lu Ran gained a clearer understanding of Mystic Turtle’s current strength. Against lifeforms of the same species rank and level, whether elemental, animal, plant, or mechanical, it was difficult to resist a law-based lifeform.

Law-based lifeforms even seemed capable of challenging above their level relatively easily. This made Lu Ran feel even more troubled about challenging the Four Supreme Divine Dragons.

Mystic Turtle was only a relatively trashy Law of Surrender-based lifeform, while the Four Supreme Divine Dragons represented the top four laws—life, death, time, and space. And this was without them merging.

After merging into the Genesis Dragon, wouldn’t they fuse into some kind of Creation law-based lifeform or World-Creation law-based lifeform? That'd simply be ridiculous!

“I can’t figure out how to beat them, but fortunately, there’s no time limit for challenging the Final Secret Realm. Heck, I don't even need to challenge it. Who says we must figure out the secret of Limitless City?”

Lu Ran thought about backing down, slightly wanting to just surrender.

“Whatever. I’m just gonna laze around. Being a salted fish king is also pretty good.”

Of course, at this moment, Lu Ran was deeply considering Mystic Turtle, trying to gain some insight. The challenge still needed to be undertaken. After all, they didn’t know if the black mist was still spreading. Lu Ran truly didn't want to die and disappear. He still wanted to enjoy glory and wealth.

To fight against the black mist, figuring out what Limitless City is was key. Moreover, after Limitless City repaired the bug, only by becoming the master of Limitless City could one possess the highest resurrection authority.

Through Lu Ran’s experiments, after Mystic Turtle surrendered, if the enemy attacked, it would trigger the first level of backlash. If the enemy continued attacking, it would trigger the second level of backlash.

If the attacker ignored the backlash and injured Mystic Turtle, it would trigger the third level of backlash. The backlash intensified with each level. If all three levels were stacked, then a Low Legendary like Mystic Turtle could even affect Captain Doofus in its normal state.

Even in its normal state, Captain Doofus was currently an Intermediate Legendary, a powerful sword-type lifeform with no weak points in its overall strength. Furthermore, just as Six-Path Flower analyzed, in different places, the degree of backlash varied greatly.

According to Lu Ran’s cultivation path, the backlash was strongest when Mystic Turtle surrendered in a Stellar Moon-like world.

After completing these experiments, Lu Ran understood that law-based lifeforms had infinite potential. To make Mystic Turtle the most qualified sparring partner for Captain Doofus and the others, its species rank first needed to be raised to Superior Legendary.

Its level was still a bit low, so it could only deal with #18. The difficulty in raising its species rank was both hard and not hard. It wasn’t hard because Mystic Turtle currently had a stable path to increase its species rank. All it had to do was consume the power of surrender to continuously enhance its own power.

That is to say, Lu Ran just needed to continuously challenge opponents and make them surrender willingly. The stronger the enemy, and the more convincing their surrender, the greater Mystic Turtle’s improvement.

The difficulty lay in it being rather troublesome. After all, unlike Baby Cloud and Dark Crow, who could just hunt a sufficiently strong, suitable opponent and eat it directly, that wasn't possible.

Lu Ran planned to set off for Ancient Blue Planet soon to solve this issue. He intended to challenge powerful exotic beasts during the process of finding a stellar core for Six-Path Flower and then force the beasts to surrender.

***

Lu Ran had Mystic Turtle hanging on his shoulder. “I didn’t expect to be challenging an ascension realm again so soon. It’s your first time challenging a Limitless City secret realm, huh. Are you excited?”

Mystic Turtle remained silent, not daring to move.

“Relax, my dude. With Six-Path Flower and the others here, you’ll be well-fed.” Lu Ran smiled and began to enter.

I'm not here to break through! I just want the resources. Being a user with high privileges is awesome!

[Detected that you possess super admin privilege. Customize the ascension realm worldview and timeline?]

“Go to Ancient Blue Planet when its stellar core was not yet broken.”

[Confirmed.]

[Generating corresponding ascension realm...]

[Please wait...]

[Generation successful.]

[Secret Realm Type: Solo]

[Target Location: Ancient Blue Planet!]

[Teleportation countdown 10...9...8...]

[Era Introduction: Blue Planet, a mysterious planet outside the Stellar Moon World. In ancient times, Blue Planet was inhabited by countless powerful creatures. They absorbed the essence of the sun, moon, grass, and trees, constantly evolving, no different from the transcendent creatures of the Stellar Moon World.

[Among these creatures, some liked to devour humans and were considered vicious beasts. Some showed compassion towards humans and were considered guardian beasts. Among them, the most powerful guardian beasts were called totemic guardian deities.

[Thus, humans, unable to cultivate, survived in the cracks between powerful creatures, eking out an existence under the protection of the totemic guardian deities.

[Vicious beasts killed totemic beasts and devoured human settlements. Totemic beasts repelled vicious beasts and protected their local land. Blue Planet’s ancient era continued in this mode until the transcendent energy faded away.........]

[Ascension Mission: Please create a cultivation system suitable for Blue Planet humans that ultimately enables them to possess Epic combat strength!]

[Tip 1: The created system must be cultivable by over 90% of Blue Planet humans...]

[Tip 2: The higher the potential upper limit of the created cultivation system and the lower the difficulty of cultivation, the higher the score.]

[Tip 3: Mission time limit is 30 days.]

[Tip 4: This realm is a historical proj...]

It was still a series of messy mission prompts. Although Lu Ran didn’t plan to complete it, he still listened carefully.

Lu Ran didn’t expect the ascension mission this time to be about creating a cultivation technique. It seemed quite difficult. He felt that it was harder than hunting a Superior Legendary.

This mission seemed quite interesting to Lu Ran; after all, the constitution of Blue Planet humans wasn’t suitable for opening beastmaster spaces.

Although Lu Ran had already mastered the method to alter the constitution of Blue Planet humans, if he wanted to complete this mission, he couldn’t possibly improve the constitution of over 90% of the Blue Planet population.

He would have to take a step back and create a technique suitable for their current constitution. Moreover, it would have to allow cultivation up to Epic combat strength. Clearly, it was very difficult. However, for someone who wanted to become a Mythical beastmaster, accomplishing such a feat seemed reasonable.

“It's a real good thing that I didn’t come to break through this time. Otherwise I would have to borrow Captain Doofus’ brain to think of a technique.” Lu Ran shook his head.

[Detected that you possess super admin privilege.]

[Triggered hidden Legendary mission: The Test of the Exotic Beasts King! (The Torch Dragon, as the king of ancient Blue Planet, possessed combat strength above Divine level.

[Many Legendary exotic beasts knew the power of the Torch Dragon and intended to follow it, yet none passed the test arranged by the Torch Dragon. Please pass the Torch Dragon’s follower assessment and become its subordinate.)]

[Mission Reward: Resurrect one historical projection you've made contact with within this realm.]

Lu Ran was slightly stunned during the teleportation process.

The Torch Dragon... Is the Torch Dragon Primary Divine level? No wonder it’s the Exotic Beast King of Blue Planet! But I didn’t come here to follow the Torch Dragon. I came to see if I could trick it into becoming my familiar. This mission... how indiscreet.
