Chapter 232: The Recorder of All Things
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Starry Omnivore Kraken’s huge tail flicked, like a deep-space giant ship shuttling in the gloom. In the blink of an eye, it came to the left of the black-armored mantis swarm. It opened its mouth wide, and a huge swallowing vortex of several kilometers in diameter appeared out of thin air. The kraken started devouring massive numbers of the Black Mantis Insects.
The previously terrifying black-armored space bugs scrambled away in fear in front of the kraken at this moment, but there was no chance for them to escape.
On the other side, the Nine-tailed Magic Fox erupted with boundless black magic energy; a vast black domain then formed under its feet. All the black-armored mantises that entered the black domain were instantly controlled by it.
With a hing, a huge magic fox phantom appeared in the black domain. As it gently lifted its paw and pressed, the huge fox phantom behind it also pressed its paw down.
With the sound of flesh tearing and blood spurting, these black-armored mantis insects turned into a pile of meaty paste. Before dying, their powerful attacks hit the Nine-tailed Magic Fox, but they were rendered ineffective by the immunity of the black armor.
After killing a bunch, it went to another place. It raised its claws and activated Devilish Warp. The black cold light shot thousands of miles away, and most of the black-armored mantises were killed directly.
A closer look revealed that these space bugs, after being killed by the Nine-tailed Magic Fox, all turned into strands of black smoke, which merged into the fox.
This was not uncommon. These black-armored mantises actually originated from the Black Territory Demon and were originally ordinary insects. The reason why they became so powerful was that they had absorbed the power of the Black Territory Demon.
Therefore, in front of the fox that had inherited the fusion of the magic crystal, they had no resistance at all.
Soon, hundreds of thousands of black-armored mantises in starry space were killed by the Nine-tailed Magic Fox and Starry Omnivore Kraken that swallowed them all.
Bai Song and the other students of Deep Ocean University were stunned and at a loss for words.
“This… It’s over?”
Someone felt surreal after seeing these black-armored mantises, which massacred most of their pets, get killed easily.
Were they really the vicious Black Mantis Insects?
“Be careful! There’s a high-level commander rushing over; let’s work together to kill it.” The captain suddenly reminded his team.
“I’ll do it. Black Crystal Bear, smash it to death!”
Without waiting for the captain to speak, one of them directed his pet to rush over.
The Black Crystal Bear was a powerful peak high-level commander. Upon receiving the order, it immediately burst forth with spiritual power and charged forward. The bear slammed the black-armored mantis with its huge bear paw.
Anxious to escape, the insect did not dare to retreat and could only bite the bullet and charge forward. There was a glimmer of light, followed by the sound of the separation of flesh and blood, and the seemingly indestructible Black Crystal Bear was directly cut into two halves. Blood scattered into the void and quickly condensed into ice.
Meanwhile, the black-armored mantis did not have the slightest wound on its body. It turned its head and glanced at the dead Black Crystal Bear. A little dazed, it shook off the blood on its blade and quickly fled.
“Howl!”
At this time, a huge emerald vine appeared, piercing the body of the black mantis at an incredible speed. It quickly absorbed its vitality, which flowed directly from the monster’s dark carapace.
“My Black Crystal Bear!”
Accompanied by this scream of grief and indignation, everyone else returned to their senses and looked at one another with lingering fear. Fortunately, they were a step slower, or else their pets might be dead now.
It was not that the black-armored mantis had become weak; rather, the pet of the senior was too strong, giving them such an illusion.
The battle was completely over before they even regained their senses. Su Bai stood on top of his dragon and approached them.
“Thank you for your life-saving grace, senior; we’re students of Deep Ocean University. May I ask for this senior’s name?”
Bai Song and the captain quickly moved forward to salute and thank him. Their hearts throbbed violently as they watched the huge scarlet dragon, which was so close at hand.
Although the Ancestor Blood Dragon did not deliberately exude coercion, the breath, which existed in the depths of its bloodline, still made their hearts constricted and their skin sport goosebumps.
“It doesn’t matter who I am. The important thing is that you should leave. I still have business here and don’t want to be disturbed,” Su Bai waved his hand and said indifferently.
The group of humans glanced at the changed planet behind them. They tacitly remained silent and did not inquire more. Nodding, Bai Song said, “Don’t worry, senior; we’ll leave immediately. Please wait for us to sort out our materials—”
“No, just leave fast.” He interrupted the girl.
“Okay.”
The group did not dare to disagree and quickly nodded.
“Let’s leave here; it’s too dangerous.” When Bai Song said so, the others stopped lingering and quickly moved to leave.
Before departing, the girl also glanced at Su Bai secretly.
“It seems that you recognized it, too.” The captain glanced at her, no longer suppressing the shock on his face.
“I was certain when I was that Blood Dragon.” Bai Song smiled bitterly and nodded, “I thought we were the best among our peers, but we’re nothing in comparison with that senior…”
Since Su Bai had not changed his appearance, the two naturally recognized him when they approached. However, the shock he had given them was stuck in their hearts and difficult to dissipate for a long time.
Ah Bai, why don’t you want any benefits? We shouldn’t do it for nothing. Little Tyrant glanced up at him in confusion.
“Are you stupid? They’re not weak. The reason why they were in a sorry state was that they encountered the Black Mantis Insects and were restrained by those monsters’ spiritual attacks. Although we could defeat them, what if they stayed too long and found out about the treasure?”
The elf patted the dino and raised its head.
Oh, I forgot about that. I was thinking of getting more things for my meal. Little Tyrant scratched its head sheepishly.
“Planet Eye, stay here with Pipi to keep guard; pay attention to the surroundings. I’ll take your siblings to explore the altar.”
Su Bai arranged an action plan and immediately rode his pet dragon to the altar on the planet.
Not long after, Su Bai fell on the altar. At first, he thought that there would be a dangerous test or something, but there was no change along the way.
When he came to the altar, he discovered that it was huge, covering an area of thousands of square meters. The whole thing seemed to have been carved from a piece of blue-black jade with various mysterious runes painted on it. All in all, the altar looked sacred and majestic.
After observing the surroundings for a while, he came to the center of the altar. Here stood a large blue statue with an inexplicable aura that seemed to contain all the truths between heaven and earth.
The statue was of a half human and half fish with blue-white wings. Needless to say, the beauty of this mermaid was naturally not enough to describe in words. The most terrifying thing was the intangible aura around it. Its entire body exuded the aura of the most flawless existence between heaven and earth.
The mermaid held a jade book; that mysterious aura was coming from this book.
This is… The elf raised its head, unable to recall what this was for a while.
“That’s right; this is the mermaid, the Recorder of All Things. It’s one of the Four Great Elemental Spirits of earth, water, wind, and fire. The book in its hand is the Book of All Things and contains all the truth and knowledge in this world,” Su Bai looked at the huge statue and said slowly.
