Chapter 397: Earth, Ocean, Blood-stained Serpent and History
"I succeeded, I succeeded."
Cai Jian looked hoarsely at the Heavenly King which had successfully charged and condensed the Sky Heart, his expression revealing indescribable delight.
In three days, he had suffered tremendously, and now he looked almost ten years older.
At this moment, he understood why the Heavenly King had been shelved, because drawing power from the sky would bring a curse.
"Although a price was paid, the gains were also enormous."
Feeling the surging cursed power within himself, he appeared satisfied.
He could now use the cursed power in conjunction with the Heavenly King to form an extremely terrifying attack, and the first thing he wanted to do was retaliate against the Navy.
Originally, he had planned to directly destroy the Island Alliance's base with the Heavenly King, but now he had given up that idea.
What pleasure in retaliation would there be in doing that? He planned to destroy the Red Earth Continent, a place the Island Alliance had always cherished and cultivated.
The continent split the sea in two, and now that he fancied himself the Pirate King, how could he tolerate a barrier dividing his rights.
"Let's start, Heavenly King."
The point of demolition would start from the Island Alliance's base.
In an instant, the Heavenly King had jumped above the Island Alliance.
This action naturally caught the attention of Wang Qi and others.
"This is what the teacher meant by 'delivering goods to the door'... Why do I have a bad feeling?" Wang Qi looked at the sky-obscuring Heavenly King, his heart skipping a beat.
Sure enough, he then saw the main cannon of the Heavenly King starting to charge.
"Great Commander, what is that?" Yu Ju rushed to ask the moment he arrived.
"One of the three ancient weapons delivered by our teacher, the Heavenly King, supposedly 'delivered to our door', though it seems we have to deal with the courier ourselves," said Wang Qi somewhat helplessly.
"How do we deal with this thing? You can't tell me you don't feel the power of that main cannon. We have to go to the meeting point and ask the teacher to make a move," Yu Ju said, feeling numb upon hearing this; Gu Shanhai really was reliably unreliable.
Just the firing of this main cannon alone, let alone the base, could likely break the Red Earth Continent apart, even damaging the Grand Line since their location was one of the junctions between the Red Earth Continent and the Grand Line. Indeed, Gu Shanhai was at another junction, which meant they had to cross half the world to find Gu Shanhai.
"Oh, the teacher had already sent Sea King and Hades over, so we still have a chance," Wang Qi said in an unhurried manner.
Hearing this, Yu Ju finally relaxed, knowing they had some leverage.
But then he noticed Wang Qi was not doing anything, so he prompted, "Then hurry up and make a move, why are you dazing? If we wait any longer, his cannon will be fully charged."
"The problem is... I don't know what Sea King and Hades are. The teacher just said he sent them, but I haven't seen them anywhere," Wang Qi said helplessly. Otherwise, why would he still be standing here? He would have made his move earlier.
"..." Yu Ju was speechless, these people really had nerves of steel.
Although he knew Gu Shanhai wouldn't let them down at this moment, this experience was too thrilling.
"So that thing is the Heavenly King?" Yu Ju asked.
"Oh, the Heavenly King should be its core. This thing at most counts as a courier package," Wang Qi knew the three newly made ancient weapons could not be that simple, and in his eyes, the Heavenly King indeed was simple.
No sooner had he spoken these words than Wang Qi felt a slight tremor from the ground.
"Is there something moving underground? Could it be Hades?" Yu Ju said excitedly, hoping it finally turned up.
"No, it's the Red Earth Continent," Wang Qi said solemnly.
The next moment, he saw the entire Red Earth Continent wriggling and coming to life like a snake.
"One of the strategic world defense systems, known as the ancient weapon Hades·The Bloodstained Serpent."
Just as Wang Qi finished speaking, The Bloodstained Serpent bit onto the Heavenly King, biting away a third of it. The main cannon, which was still charging, started to flicker due to a short circuit and eventually went completely dark.
"Hiss~ That's terrifying, can you control it?" Yu Ju gasped at the scene.
"Otherwise, what do you think? Could this thing still be alive?" Wang Qi chuckled.
Just now, he had successfully connected with Hades and Sea King.
He also learned what these two ancient weapons were, one was Hades·The Bloodstained Serpent, the other was Sea King·The Mainstay of History.
These two ancient weapons, using the Red Earth Continent and the Grand Line as their carriers, possessed extremely powerful forces.
He knew Hades had animated the entire Red Earth Continent, but what exactly Sea King was, he was somewhat unsure, though he had already summoned it.
It must also be some kind of powerful entity.
As for the Heavenly King, that would have to wait until he retrieved it.
"Is it actually regenerating?" Yu Ju's expression changed as he saw the one-third bitten off part of the Heavenly King starting to regenerate.
"Just with this Serpent, it dares to challenge the power of the Heavenly King?"
An angry voice came from within the Heavenly King, and then the entire Heavenly King transformed, ultimately taking the form of a gigantic steel humanoid, who smartly did not entangle with Hades·The Bloodstained Serpent, instead turning to come towards Wang Qi and the others.
Hades·The Bloodstained Serpent persistently chased from behind, but the Heavenly King was extremely fast, simply unstoppable.
