207: Alien Spaceship

This time, Raymond miscalculated!

Not only did the lake water fail to extinguish the colorless flames, but it acted like a fuel, directly intensifying the fire.

The flames spread wildly across the lake surface, and in just a few breaths, the colorless flames had engulfed the entire lake.

The lake became a sea of fire!

“What kind of fire is this… Ah! It hurts! It hurts so much!”

Raymond let out a shrill scream, both shocked and terrified, then shot into the sky.

This time, he tried to extinguish the colorless flames by flying at high speed, generating a powerful airflow, but it was still useless!

The colorless flames were like maggots clinging to bone, burning both his body and his Divine Spark.

No matter how fast Raymond flew, he could not extinguish the flames.

Under intense pain, Raymond crashed to the ground again, even igniting the surrounding trees.

“Mercy… Have mercy!”

Raymond finally lowered his noble head and pleaded for mercy in a hoarse voice.

Seeing this, the many Demigods present were stunned.

Raymond actually begged for mercy?

In everyone's impression, Raymond had always been very strong, known globally for his violence, domineering nature, and toughness!

Such a person actually begged for mercy? What kind of fire was that?

The Demigods were filled with horror; even with their extensive knowledge, they couldn't identify what kind of flames those were!

Just as the Demigods were shocked and terrified, Zhang Fan suddenly descended from the sky and stepped on the Golden Giant Dragon's head.

“Crack!”

The Golden Giant Dragon's head instantly exploded, splattering blood and brain matter.

“Whoosh!”

A brilliant golden crystal flew out from the shattered brain, transforming into a streak of light, and shot away into the distance at terrifying speed.

“Divine Spark!!!”

“Raymond's Divine Spark!”

Looking at the brilliant golden crystal, the Demigods exclaimed one after another.

Some gold-element Demigods even swallowed hard, their eyes filled with fervent desire.

They recognized it; that was Raymond's Divine Spark, a Complete Divine Spark!

As long as they obtained it and refined it, they could become a God!

However.

No matter how eager they were, these Demigods dared not try to snatch it.

Zhang Fan was still watching from the side, and trying to snatch the Divine Spark now would be like snatching food from a tiger's mouth; they would definitely face his retaliation!

Moreover!

Raymond's Divine Spark was still enveloped in a layer of colorless flames!

All the Demigods clearly saw how terrifying those colorless flames were; even Raymond couldn't withstand them, so how dared they touch them?

“Come back!”

Zhang Fan reached out and grabbed.

The Divine Spark, which had been shooting away, suddenly flew back in reverse.

“Mercy! Have mercy!”

Raymond's mental fluctuations emanated from the Divine Spark, begging frantically for mercy.

Zhang Fan remained unmoved, coldly watching the Chaos True Fire incinerate Raymond.

“Ah!”

Seeing Zhang Fan unmoved, Raymond's pleas for mercy turned into curses and insults, then back to pleas for mercy again.

This went on repeatedly for more than ten minutes until the Divine Spark was completely incinerated.

Along with it, Raymond's soul and consciousness were also burned into nothingness.

The entire scene was dead silent.

All the Demigods looked at the vanished Divine Spark, feeling a chill run down their spines; a powerful God had been burned to death just like that?

A God!

That was a God!

The realm they had dreamed of reaching, just like that… dead?

The Demigods felt as if the belief they had struggled to maintain had collapsed!

If even a God could be killed, what would it matter if they became Gods?

For a moment, the Demigods felt a sense of sorrow and bewilderment.

Zhang Fan ignored the bewildered and terrified Demigods; he reverted to his human form, silently calculating his current strength!

After today's battle, Zhang Fan had a clearer understanding of his own strength.

In human form, his physical body was stronger than a Demigod's but weaker than a God's!

After transforming into a Saiya Golden Ape, his physical body rivaled that of a God, and if the Saiya Golden Ape transformed into a Golden Giant Ape, it would be enough to kill an ordinary God!

In other words.

Zhang Fan's current strongest combat power was enough to easily kill an ordinary God!

With the cultivation of the Yang God Realm, he possessed the combat power to kill a God!

This was the current Zhang Fan!

Hua Yunzhang looked at Zhang Fan and murmured, “Old Zhang, did you see that? This is your grandson!”

Back then, Zhang Xuanling came to Hua Yunzhang, wanting him to invest in Zhang Fan.

Zhang Xuanling's reason was that if Zhang Fan's Seventy-Two Transformations could transform him into a peak overlord race in the universe, his future potential would be unparalleled!

And now, Zhang Fan, by transforming into a Saiya Golden Ape and killing Raymond of the God Realm with the mere cultivation of the Yang God Realm, perfectly proved Zhang Xuanling's initial conjecture!

His grandson, Zhang Fan, indeed possessed unparalleled potential!

“Alas!”

Hua Yunzhang sighed, “You had always longed for Zhang Fan to participate in the Gods War, which happens once every ten thousand years, so that he could join a top force in the universe!”

“Now, before the Gods War has even begun, Xiao Fan has already become an elite student of the Cosmic Vientiane Academy!”

“Old Zhang, if you knew, you would surely be very happy, wouldn't you?”

“Grandpa Hua!”

Zhang Fan flew over.

This call pulled Hua Yunzhang back to reality; he looked at Zhang Fan, and a kind and benevolent smile appeared on his face, saying,

“Xiao Fan, well done!”

“With Raymond dead, the Western Demigod faction will become a scattered mess!”

“From now on, the entire West will have to bow before us!”

The Eastern Demigods also looked at Zhang Fan, their expressions somewhat complex.

It wasn't just the West that would bow; from today onwards, no one on Earth, including both East and West, would dare to face Zhang Fan's sharp edge directly!

Calling him the number one person on Earth was no exaggeration!

Zhang Fan smiled, pointed at the lake below, and eagerly said, “Grandpa Hua, let's go down quickly! I've never seen an alien spaceship before!”

“Haha, you can even kill a God, yet you've never seen an alien spaceship; that's a bit odd, isn't it?!”

Hua Yunzhang laughed heartily, “Let's go! Let's go see it!”

“Everyone, together!”

Hua Yunzhang waved his hand, and his Domain of the Gods swept out, causing the lake water below to part to both sides, forming a passage.

At the end of the passage was a bottomless underground cave, dark and murky, leading to an unknown destination.

Hua Yunzhang took the lead, flying towards the underground cave.

Zhang Fan followed closely behind, and the other Demigods, sensing the situation, followed behind them.

They didn't need to deliberately change; they naturally lowered their posture.

The group entered the underground cave.

The cave below was astonishingly large, like an underground palace.

The entire cave was filled with icy lake water, and visibility was extremely low.

But for Demigods, this visibility was almost like daytime.

And at the bottom of the cave, an incredibly massive black spaceship was parked.

This black spaceship was elongated but broken into two halves in the middle.

From the broken section of the spaceship, many blood-red stones the size of watermelons were gushing out.

“dragon mother blood crystal!”

Everyone stared at the blood-colored stones, their eyes brightening.

So many Demigods had fought to the death, and wasn't it all for the dragon mother blood crystal?

The crowd quickly approached the broken section of the spaceship, and only when they got closer did they realize that this alien spaceship, broken into two halves, was incredibly tall.

Roughly estimated, it was at least a thousand meters high, standing like a towering wall in the underground cave.

The dragon mother blood crystals gushing out from the broken section had also piled up into small mountains.

“So many dragon mother blood crystals!”

“This alien spaceship must be a cargo spaceship transporting dragon mother blood crystal, and it eventually crashed on our Earth due to unknown reasons!”

“How much universe coins are so many dragon mother blood crystals worth?”

“If we sell them on the Virtual Universe Network, we'll definitely get rich; it's probably enough money to buy a True God's Divine Spark!”

“That makes sense!”

“…”

The Demigods communicated excitedly, each one highly agitated, their eyes burning with desire.

“Everyone!”

Hua Yunzhang transmitted, “I'll collect these dragon mother blood crystals first, and we can distribute them after we get out, how about that?”

All the Demigods showed hesitation, looking at Zhang Fan one after another; seeing that he didn't object, they all agreed.

Hua Yunzhang took out a bottle and sucked in the dragon mother blood crystals.

A moment later.

All the dragon mother blood crystals at the broken section of the spaceship were collected into the bottle.

Hua Yunzhang did not enter rashly, looking at the broken section and saying,

“It stands to reason that if there are so many dragon mother blood crystals at the broken section of the spaceship, there should be even more inside the spaceship!”

“But it is, after all, a cosmic spaceship capable of interstellar travel, and we currently know nothing about its internal situation!”

“To be safe, let's scout ahead first to confirm if there's any danger!”

“Once we confirm there's no danger, it won't be too late to enter!”

“It should be so!”

The Demigods nodded one after another.

They were all Demigods; more or less, they had explored alien spaceships and prehistoric ruins, and they knew the dangers within!

Cosmic spaceships capable of interstellar flight usually had intelligent life and weapon self-defense systems!

Once outsiders intruded and were deemed invaders, they would be attacked, and in severe cases, people could die!

Therefore, when exploring prehistoric ruins and alien spaceships, one could never be too careful!

dragon mother blood crystals were good, but one had to be alive to take them out!

“Xiao Fan!”

Hua Yunzhang looked at Zhang Fan.

“Leave it to me!”

Zhang Fan nodded, directly creating 20 Shadow Clones.

“Go!”

Zhang Fan waved his hand, and the Shadow Clones split into two groups, 10 in each, entering the two broken halves of the spaceship respectively.

The Demigods looked at the 20 Shadow Clones, not particularly surprised.

Zhang Fan had demonstrated the Shadow Clone divine ability multiple times; it was no secret!

The Demigods were only worried about whether Zhang Fan's Shadow Clones would commit embezzlement while exploring the spaceship.

This was very possible, after all, dragon mother blood crystals were very valuable, and with such a terrifying quantity, any person would be tempted!

But worry was worry, no one dared to voice such an offensive thought!

If they angered Zhang Fan, it wouldn't be a good thing for them!

Half an hour later, all 20 Shadow Clones returned.

Then they directly dissipated.

Zhang Fan closed his eyes to digest the memories, and it took him a good while to fully process them.

“Xiao Fan, how was it?”

Hua Yunzhang quickly asked.

“Both halves of the spaceship are completely filled with water, it’s pitch black inside, and there are quite a few corpses piled up in the cabins!”

Zhang Fan said, “My Shadow Clones explored every accessible area and found no danger whatsoever!”

The Demigods exchanged glances.

“From the looks of it, this spaceship should be a completely crashed one, and everyone on board died!” Lu Meisheng said.

“Very likely!”

Ice Emperor Okaterina also said, “The broken hull, the gushing dragon mother blood crystals, the corpses and lake water inside the ship!”

“All signs indicate that this spaceship is indeed a dead ship!”

“Since it's a dead ship, why don't we go in quickly?”

Fierce Tiger Vladimir urged, “To avoid further complications, let's collect the dragon mother blood crystals first!”

“Yes, yes!”

“…”

Vladimir's words received unanimous agreement from all the Demigods.

Everyone was eager to rush in and collect the dragon mother blood crystals.

Hua Yunzhang actually wanted to go in and take a look, to confirm one last time.

Better safe than sorry!

But he worried that if he said it, it might displease everyone.

After all, there were still large quantities of dragon mother blood crystals inside the ship, and if he went in first, it would inevitably lead to everyone having wild thoughts.

“Since everyone agrees, then let's go in!” Hua Yunzhang did not insist.

Everyone was overjoyed and urged, “What are we waiting for? Let's go!”

“Alright!”

Hua Yunzhang nodded, pointing to the left half of the ship's hull and saying,

“Go into the left side first!”

“Alright, alright!”

A group of people followed Hua Yunzhang, entering the left half of the ship through the broken section; it was indeed filled with water and pitch black inside.

What was exciting was that the spacious cabin was piled high with blood-red Dragon Mother Blood Crystals; everywhere one looked, they were scattered across the floor.

“So many dragon mother blood crystals!”

“Hua Yunzhang, quickly collect them!”

Hua Yunzhang took out a storage bottle and began collecting the dragon mother blood crystals in the cabin.

As they continued to collect, they delved deeper and deeper into the cabin.

Just then, a playful voice suddenly echoed within the cabin:

“Finally caught you!”

“What sound was that?”

“You heard it too?”

“Looks like it wasn't an illusion!”

The appearance of this voice was like a group of people arriving at a graveyard in the middle of the night, already terrified, when a sound suddenly emerged from the graveyard.

Everyone turned pale with fright, quickly turning their heads to look around, searching for the source of the sound.

At this moment, everyone felt a strange force acting on their bodies, and then one by one, they disappeared.

Finally, only Zhang Fan remained!

Zhang Fan was utterly bewildered by this sudden turn of events.

But he also realized something was wrong and immediately tried to teleport to the broken section.

As a result, his body was confined in place by an inexplicable force.

He couldn't teleport at all!

“What's going on?”

Zhang Fan struggled violently, but it was futile; his body couldn't move!

The voice sounded again: “Don't struggle, it's useless!”

Zhang Fan stopped struggling: “Who exactly are you? The spaceship's AI?”

“You guessed it!”

The cabin suddenly lit up.

Zhang Fan squinted, quickly adjusted to the sudden brightness, and then saw an incredible scene:

The icy lake water filling the cabin gradually vanished, and the dragon mother blood crystals piled on the floor also rapidly disappeared before his eyes.

Even the scene inside the cabin shattered like a broken mirror.

A moment later, the scene before him underwent a drastic change!

This was a white world, with a white sky and white ground!

Everything was white!

The sky was boundless!

The earth stretched endlessly!

Zhang Fan stood on the white ground, and not far in front of him, a peculiar small beast floated in mid-air.

“Hello, Zhang Fan!”

The small beast looked at Zhang Fan with a smiling, very friendly expression.

“Who are you?”

Zhang Fan asked in a low voice.

The peculiar small beast smiled and said, “Let me introduce myself. I am the intelligent life of the Virtual Universe Company's Earth recruitment relic!”

“You can call me Zi Shu!”

Zhang Fan suddenly relaxed.

The other party's identity was similar to Emperor Dragon's; the difference was that Emperor Dragon belonged to the Cosmic Vientiane Academy, while this guy belonged to the Virtual Universe Company.

It brought him here, and its purpose should be similar to Emperor Dragon's.

Sure enough.

The peculiar small beast continued, “The Three Great God-Level Civilizations have unwritten rules among themselves: once a genius joins one civilization, the other two civilizations cannot forcibly snatch them!”

“You have already joined the Cosmic Vientiane Academy, so according to the unwritten rules, I cannot forcibly recruit you into the Virtual Universe Company!”

“Unless… you willingly join!”

“For this, I went to great lengths to set up a trap and lure you here!”

Set up a trap?

Lure?

Zhang Fan was somewhat astonished: “So, Sha Wang discovering the crashed cosmic spaceship and the dragon mother blood crystals, all of that was your trap?”

“Yes!”

The peculiar small beast smiled and said, “dragon mother blood crystals can only be used by the descendants of Chaos Demon God, so they are extremely valuable!”

“Under normal circumstances, they wouldn't appear on an ordinary cargo spaceship!”

Zhang Fan didn't know what to say; the other party had gone to such great lengths to lure him here, so he should feel honored!

It was just that Zhang Fan felt aggrieved for those Demigods who had died in vain.

Just because of a trap, they lost their lives; it was truly…

“I have already joined the Cosmic Vientiane Academy; it's impossible for me to join your Virtual Universe Company again!” Zhang Fan was a very trustworthy person and would not be fickle.

“Don't rush to refuse!”

The peculiar small beast smiled and said, “Listen to my conditions before making a decision; it's not too late!”
