Chapter 282: Chapter 64 What is the End Point?_2
"Cough, cough, it looks like we’ll have to settle the score next time," Guan Minghua muttered as he stored away the Jade Pendant, looking rather disappointed.
Wudao Tian, watching the shameless Guan Minghua, retorted, "I hope you don’t cry next time."
Watching the scurrying Martial Rat, Guan Minghua revealed a trace of relief and said, "Good thing I’m smart. Who said you can’t drive again after transforming into parts?"
As Guan Minghua’s Divine Sense moved, the parts on the ground began to shift. In no time, a brand-new green-haired turtle war vehicle appeared. It turned out he also possessed an Eternal Stone, one superior in both quantity and quality to what Wudao Tian had.
"I really am the cleverest," hummed Guan Minghua, planning to sneak around and later deliver a strike of ’justice’ from behind.
"Eh, what’s that?" Guan Minghua spotted a fast-rolling unidentified object nearby.
「...」
"I can’t take it anymore, stop quickly!" Feng Mengmeng, her hair in disarray, yelled loudly.
Chen Jiuge also felt it had been long enough, so he stopped the war vehicle, transforming it back into a heavy truck.
Feng Mengmeng, still dizzy, saw a green-haired turtle not far away and mistook it for a Fierce Beast. In her bad mood, she instantly cranked up the power of the super cannon to the max.
Seeing this, Chen Jiuge exclaimed in horror, "Are you crazy? It’s just a green-haired turtle. It’s only at the Heavenly Immortal Level. Do you really need to blast it all at once?"
"I don’t care! I’m in a bad mood. Who let this green-haired turtle appear before me? It’s just some bombs; can’t I just make more later?" Feng Mengmeng declared excitedly.
Guan Minghua, observing the object that had transformed back into a heavy truck, finally realized that it was actually a competing Cultivator’s vehicle. How boring.
The repairs should be about done. Why not use them for a bit of practice? This thought had just popped into Guan Minghua’s mind.
A dazzling burst of light instantly melted the green-haired turtle. Guan Minghua looked stupefied at the activated Amulet on his body, dazedly questioning, "I’ve been eliminated?"
"No, why was I eliminated?"
The instigator, Feng Mengmeng, saw a figure floating in mid-air and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, this doesn’t seem like a Fierce Beast."
"What do you mean ’doesn’t seem like’? It clearly isn’t," Chen Jiuge said exasperatedly.
"Forget it. If it can’t even withstand one cannon blast, it’s probably just a nobody," Feng Mengmeng said nonchalantly.
"That’s true," Chen Jiuge agreed.
Now that Guan Minghua had been eliminated and could use his Cultivation, he extended his Divine Sense toward the two. Hearing their conversation, he suffered a severe mental blow.
Am I a nobody?
I’m actually a nobody!
Unaware that their conversation had grievously wounded the fragile heart of a Holy Land’s chief Disciple, Chen Jiuge and Feng Mengmeng leisurely moved forward.
「...」
In fact, many competing Cultivators had never reached the endpoint of the Nether Sea racing competition. Those who had arrived always kept their lips sealed, which is why the competition maintained such high popularity.
Question: So where exactly is the endpoint of the Nether Sea racing?
Answer: The Demon Abyss!
Already at the pinnacle, the Immortal Daluo Golden Immortals Jin Wusheng and Zhong Yue had arrived here early.
"How many years has it been since I last came here? It’s still so alluring," Zhong Yue said, intoxicated.
"Pathetic," Jin Wusheng retorted, embracing two members of what was claimed to be the most beautiful race from the Demon Abyss, the Enchanting Demon Clan, with contempt in his voice.
"Get lost!" Zhong Yue snapped back.
"After so many years, both of you still have your charms." The Great Demon God with purple-gold patterns on his face smiled.
"Alright, Jesmin, we’re old friends now. Why did you come personally this time? Can’t the Infinite Abyss hold up?" Zhong Yue mocked.
"It’s alright. At least the Infinite Star Sea hasn’t invaded the Heavenly Realm, and the Infinite Abyss can’t climb up to the Demon Abyss," Jesmin chuckled.
"Stop the nonsense! I’m here to relax. Dance for me!" Jin Wusheng said with abandon.
Numerous voluptuous and scantily clad Enchanting Demons began to dance seductively.
The three Cultivators at the apex, holding their wine glasses, looked like three lecherous guys, appearing just like three losers.
「...」
"Phew, how long is this racetrack anyway? It feels several times longer than the first half," Chen Jiuge said, looking at the Fierce Beast that had been blown to pieces in front of him.
Feng Mengmeng was also extremely busy now. They were running out of bombs, all thanks to that green-haired turtle earlier.
"It’s said that the latter half of the course is more than ten times longer than the first half, so we need to take it slow. Moreover, only a few hundred Cultivators reach the end in each race. I just want to hold on as long as possible," Feng Mengmeng explained during a brief pause in her frantic efforts.
"Yikes, is it that hard to reach the end?"
"What else? They say there’s unimaginable joy at the endpoint. Those Cultivators who have reached it before keep coming back to compete."
"So nobody talks about what’s actually at the endpoint?"
"No, it’s said they’re bound by a Divine Oath."
「...」
Wudao Tian looked at his Martial Rat; its body had partially collapsed. The Eternal Stone had also reached its limit and was no longer effective.
But the War Turkey driven by the Peak Master in front of him only showed minor surface scratches. Wudao Tian, somewhat dissatisfied, said, "Peak Master Zhu, what do you mean by this?"
"Dao Tian, I’m doing this for your own good. The endpoint isn’t suitable for a man who’s just started a family like you. Take my advice and head back early," Zhu Sheng said meaningfully.
Wudao Tian’s mouth twitched. What did he mean by ’just started a family’? What did he mean by ’unsuitable’? Were there some great treasures at the endpoint?
"No way, I must get there today!" Wudao Tian was not about to give up just because of a few words.
Zhu Sheng’s face took on a compassionate expression as he said, "It seems I have to send you back now."
Divine Skill "Vermilion Bird Flame Dance."
A massive flame erupted from the surface of the War Turkey, forming countless tiny Vermilion Birds. The myriad little Vermilion Birds emitted loud screeches, causing Wudao Tian to shiver involuntarily.
"So ruthless, using a Great Divine Power on me?" Wudao Tian watched the small Vermilion Birds engulfing him, voicing his extreme reluctance.
Watching Wudao Tian being sent away by an Amulet, Zhu Sheng said with compassionate sorrow, "That should do it."
"That’s about right. Apart from Wudao Tian, the other Disciples participating this time probably won’t reach the endpoint," Xuanwu Peak’s Gui Taixuan pondered seriously.
"Okay, let’s not waste any more time. We should reach the endpoint soon, or we’ll just get leftovers," Zhu Sheng said impatiently.
"True, let’s go."
A War Turkey and a white turtle bounced and ran across the sea surface.
「...」
Chen Jiuge was unaware that his poor senior brother had already been sent back home by Peak Master Zhu Sheng.
"Do you think we stand a chance?" Chen Jiuge asked, eyeing a Heavenly Immortal Fierce Beast that had only been lightly injured by a super cannon.
"I think we might have a chance if we have more cannon rounds," Feng Mengmeng now had a cult-like confidence in the super cannon.
"Second Form."
"Hey, you aren’t thinking of running away, are you? We can’t outrun that giant crab," Feng Mengmeng warned.
"Second Form is mainly for enhancing defense. It might not stop it, but it should hold for a while," Chen Jiuge rolled his eyes.
"Also, you should hurry up and make more bombs."
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The continuous sounds made Feng Mengmeng’s heart flutter. "Are you sure it can hold?"
"Relax, relax. Less than one percent damage. For at least the next few hours, it’s absolutely safe," Chen Jiuge reassured her after checking the vehicle’s condition.
"A few hours? That’s enough. It’s time for you to see what this lady is capable of," Feng Mengmeng took a deep breath, her expression determined.
"Whoa, super tentacle monster?" Chen Jiuge exclaimed as he saw a massive amount of Spiritual Energy condensing into tentacles behind them.
"Hmph, this is my unique Artifact Refining technique!" Feng Mengmeng declared proudly, then immersed herself in the grand task of bomb-making.
