Yes, I became a god just by exercising.

Chapter 249 Xia Fag killed a transcendent monarch? Unexpectedly rich spoils of war!

Swish!
The saber almost transformed into a violent, leaping flash of silver light, about to slash at the waist of the extraordinary monarch whose body was wrapped in black bandages.

But just then, "bang!"

The black bandages on the extraordinary monarch's body suddenly exploded, turning into countless pieces of cloth and dissipating.

The saber swung down, but missed its target.

This extraordinary monarch... only has a head, no body!

Wrapped under the black bandages was nothing but an empty shell!
Or rather, the black bandages... were just an empty shell of a human form!
The sound of bones shattering was actually a trap He had set!
The head, still wrapped in bandages but with many tears revealing red facial muscles, raised its head, its eyes filled with mockery, and glanced at the star-silver dragon that Xia Fa had transformed into.

That glance seemed to say—

You've been tricked.

The next moment, the head disappeared, escaping the terrifying explosion of the Star Destroyer Silver.

The two round blades, which had been falling toward the sea because of the broken black bandages, suddenly and inexplicably collided with each other.

The sound was neither metal nor stone; it seemed more like... the sound of some incredibly hard flesh colliding!

Then, a strange scene happened.

The two round blades collided violently and instantly turned into a ball of flesh. From this center, segments of skeleton rapidly grew outwards, and flesh and blood immediately sprouted from the skeleton...

In the blink of an eye, a monster resembling a cow was born.

Bo! Bo! Bo!
The cow swayed its body, and black snakes suddenly emerged from its back with a "pop"!
Immediately afterwards, all the black snake heads sprang up from the cow's back, revealing the upper half of their slender snake bodies—more than a hundred in total.

Hundreds of black snakes raised their heads together, their scarlet eyes locking onto Xia Fa.

Even though he had seen many strange things, Xia Fa still had to admit that this scene was a bit too weird.

A transcendent monarch with only a head, a cow with black snakes growing on its back, and what's more, this cow was formed from those two round blades...

However, at this very moment, Xia Fa finally figured out the most crucial piece of information.

That is, what kind of supreme secret agreement did this extraordinary monarch sign?

Xia Fa stared at the cow whose back was covered in black snakes. The cow seemed to have no physical form, its body appearing and disappearing like a dream, and it exuded an aura of dominance...

Without a doubt, this is a "Protoss"!
Among the various "spirits" in the Protoss Realm, the "Protoss" are the highest-ranking and most powerful!
Among the extraordinary individuals who follow the Spirit Control Secret Contract path, the only one capable of forming a contract with a Star Spirit is... the one who has signed the overlord-level Secret Contract of Star Spirit Master!

In other words, the extraordinary monarch in front of us, who looks extremely strange, is undoubtedly a signatory to the Celestial Spirit Lord!
This is extremely important intelligence. After all, this is not like the Super Fighting Grand Prix, where he can just sit in the audience and find out what kind of top-level secret agreement the Laughing Clown and Tefal have signed.

The overlord-level secret contracts they signed, the various fusion secret contract abilities developed around these contracts, and even the corresponding secret treasures and sealing artifacts... are the key to victory for these extraordinary monarchs!

"A transcendental monarch who has signed a contract with a Protoss Archon... Interesting, and one who is already capable of truly contracting with a Protoss, not like Kazimierz..."

Under normal circumstances, such a Protoss would be as large as a normal planet.

But it is clear that the Protoss can probably change size at will, and after entering the real world, they rarely reveal their true forms, usually appearing in a size similar to that of ordinary animals.

Moo-!
At that moment, the cow suddenly raised its head and let out a long moo, and around it, round beads emitting a dark aura appeared.

Those round beads seemed to have been hidden there all along. The position of each bead was extremely tricky, and it even subtly corresponded to the constellations in the sky, as if it were trying to mobilize some kind of extremely high-level and terrifying power.

In that instant, the black snakes on His back seemed to receive a command, their bodies suddenly stretching out in all directions, instantly devouring the beads.

Immediately afterwards, the black snakes began to intertwine, spreading downwards in a vast, sky-covering mass.

The scene was quite gruesome, as if countless oil gushed out from the cow's back.
But that wasn't oil; it was black snakes, intertwined and spreading out in all directions.

Whether it was Shafa himself, the extraordinary monarch who was reduced to nothing but a head, or Nerva, they were all included in it.

At this moment, the extraordinary monarch, now only a head, had already teleported above the cow, its head wrapped in black bandages bobbing up and down beside the cow's head.

Xia Fa remained inactive because he had a vague idea of ​​what was going on.

From the very beginning, Nerva and this extraordinary monarch had set a trap for him.

First, Nerva pretended to mock him, so that the extraordinary monarch could sneak up behind him and launch a sneak attack.

This move may seem simple, but it is actually vicious.

Because now Xia Fa knows that the pair of round blades were actually transformed from a Star Spirit of the Sovereign rank!
It seems that this is one of the extraordinary talents of this Protoss.

A weapon formed from a celestial spirit of the supreme status... If I hadn't possessed the divine battle technique of [Absolute Defense], [Wailing Barrier], I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to block it so easily.

If it were anyone else, they would probably have already been successfully ambushed by that extraordinary monarch.

Even if they discovered it and blocked it, the two of them still had a backup plan.

As for the backup plan, it was naturally to lure him into the barrier of this Star Spirit!
However, it is estimated that neither of them expected that this was exactly what they wanted.

Because once the barrier is complete, shielding all external perception and spying, I can finally use "Critical One-Time Loss of Control" with peace of mind...

At this moment, hundreds of black snakes intertwined, like a black bamboo cage, and in an instant, they formed a huge sphere.

From the outside, all you can see is a cow floating on the undulating sea, carrying a giant black sphere with a diameter of 10,000 meters on its back.

The surface of the black sphere was wet and smooth, constantly wriggling; it was naturally the body of those black snakes.

In the distance, the several rulers, a dozen angels, and some bolder demigods who had already arrived relaxed slightly upon seeing this.

They didn't know who this mysterious extraordinary monarch was, nor did they recognize the celestial spirit that appeared as a cow but had black snakes emerging from its back.

However, at this moment, even if the several rulers pushed their spiritual intuition to the limit, and even used divination and secret-seeking techniques on the spot, they could not see anything inside the sphere formed by the black snake.

This means that not only is Xia Fa unable to escape, but the Gold Miners' Guild will also never discover a single piece of information about what happened here!

……

Inside the black sphere, countless black snake heads were pointed at Xia Fa, appearing at first glance as if they were growing on the inner wall of the sphere.

Click! Click! Click!

For some inexplicable reason, under the crimson gaze of these black snake heads, the air began to "petrify," and even the space itself began to petrify.

The petrification process was incredibly rapid, spreading towards Shafa at the center of the black sphere.

Nerva then appeared beside the head of the extraordinary monarch, standing alongside it with a smug expression on his face.

He seemed to be mocking Shafa's overestimation of his abilities, or perhaps waiting for the moment when Shafa would be killed.

"They're still too naive. Do they really think we only know how to deal with him using such simple methods..."

As Nerva spoke, he casually tossed out a ring-shaped pouch.

The black bag immediately exploded, revealing a mobile suit of purple bronze.

It was a spider-like mobile suit of armor with eight legs, and its size reached an astonishing three hundred meters, making it look like a giant spider monster.

In the center is a spherical cockpit, and on each spider leg lies a secret treasure.

The treasures were also strangely shaped; some were almond-shaped glass bottles, others were buttons, and only one treasure was shaped like an axe, which seemed relatively normal.

Unlike the superhumans who use mechanical spheres to create mobile armor, these mobile armors are placed directly in a separate storage bag.

Moreover, every time it appears, it directly tears the black bag apart.

This doesn't seem to be a simple mobile suit of armor, but rather more like... some kind of sealed artifact of extremely high status.

No one knows the specific abilities and effects of this mobile armor, but its appearance is definitely impressive.

"The Ancient Slaughter Machine? I didn't expect you to bring out even this sealed artifact."

At this moment, the extraordinary monarch, now only a head, finally spoke, his voice surprisingly young:
"It seems you really want to eliminate this guy completely."

Nerva said with a forced smile:

"There's nothing I can do. He's the 'Caesar' who can defeat the Laughing Clown. Luckily, I have some inside information that he didn't actually win against Tefal in a head-on fight, but used some kind of tactic. Otherwise, I wouldn't have even tried to take action against him this time."

The extraordinary monarch, now only a head, said in a rather relaxed tone:
"Why bother? Let me handle it. He's already fallen into our trap; there's no escaping it now."

It seemed that the brief exchange just now had allowed Him to ascertain Xia Fa's strength and give Him complete confidence in defeating Xia Fa.

"Speaking of which, this is the first time I've met the signatory of the Silver Throne. The form of his Silver Throne is different from the one depicted in the book, and it's also different from the information you gave me. I almost got caught."

The extraordinary monarch's head gazed at the three-headed, six-winged star-silver dragon in the distance, a look of great interest in his eyes.

At this moment, the space around the star-silver dragon was completely "imprisoned" and was about to be "petrified".

The petrification trend spread rapidly and unusually towards the Star Silver Dragon, or rather, towards Xia Fa.

This extraordinary monarch knew that once he unleashed his Protoss "White Hunt's" most powerful extraordinary ability, "Medusa's Realm,"...

Therefore, unless the opponent is an extraordinary monarch who has signed more than fifteen secret contracts, or a ruler who has signed twenty secret contracts, it is simply impossible to break the code!
In other words, the three-headed, six-winged Star Silver Dragon that Xia Fa had transformed into could only remain motionless in the confined space, waiting to be petrified!
It was precisely for this reason that the extraordinary monarch relaxed and spoke casually with Nerva.

However, to His surprise, even after all this, Nerva was still so cautious and actually took out the powerful sealing artifact, the "Ancient Slaughter Machine".

"Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. This kid is very strange. No preparation I make is superfluous."

Nerva spoke with a sinister smile:
"Once he is petrified, I will send him off on his final journey, with my ancient slayership."

The extraordinary monarch, now only a head, nodded without objection:
"Yes, perfect. You can annihilate his soul and body together."

As the two were talking, the petrification trend within the black sphere was already approaching the three-headed, six-winged Star Silver Dragon that Xia Fa had transformed into.

Their gazes were indifferent, as if they were not killing an extraordinary genius and a master whale hunter, but just a random ant.

Of course, even so, Nerva had already entered the Nagu Tu Machine, ready to deliver the final blow to Xiafa at any time.

But at that moment, something completely unexpected happened to the two of them.

As Xia Fa transformed into the giant silver dragon, after a slight struggle, his body began to emanate a jet-black, oil-like aura!
The black aura almost instantly covered his colossal dragon body, which was a hundred meters long. Wherever the black aura spread, countless tentacles stretched out, and countless eyeballs opened on his body, rolling around wildly.

"What secret technique is this?"

The transcendent monarch, now only a head, was slightly startled, but he needed to focus all his energy on controlling the celestial spirits he had contracted to continue the petrification of space, so he could do nothing.

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

Nerva spoke calmly, seemingly unfamiliar with the secret technique, yet his face showed no sign of panic:
"No matter what secret technique it is, it's nothing more than this kid's dying struggle. Look, he still can't even move."

In fact, even though the two were talking the whole time, Nerva never really relaxed.

Almost the instant the "Medusa Realm" formed by the black snake was created, He had already taken out the Ancient Slaughter Machine and began to inject extraordinary power into it in order to awaken it.

Now, without wasting a single second, Nerva was already preparing to pilot the Ancient Slaughter Machine towards the Star Silver Dragon that Xiafa had transformed into.

Even though, in His perception, Xiafa was still completely unable to move, He was not willing to let his guard down or give Xiafa any chance.

But then, something completely unexpected happened to them.

Suddenly, the three-headed, six-winged silver star dragon, whose entire body was completely covered by black aura, turned its enormous body, which was a hundred meters long!
He can actually move now!

The extraordinary monarch, now only a head, was even more shocked, while Nerva's eyes blazed with murderous intent as he gripped the control lever in the cockpit tightly.

boom--!
The spider-shaped Ancient Slaughter Machine spewed out a blazing tail flame in the air and suddenly accelerated, about to rush towards the Star Silver Dragon that Xia Fa had transformed into.

Roar! ! ! ! !
The jet-black silver dragon roared wildly to the sky, seemingly unable to control itself and on the verge of going out of control. Then, its eyes flashed with silver light and turned towards the Ancient Slaughter Machine piloted by Nerva!

boom! boom! boom!
The jet-black silver dragon transformed from Xia Fa suddenly began to gallop wildly, causing the air to ripple with waves of energy, making it appear extremely heavy, and its speed was incredibly fast.

At this moment, with his colossal body reaching a hundred meters in height, he was like a runaway truck, hurtling towards Nerva's Ancient Slaughter Machine!

In the distance, the extraordinary monarch, now only a head, narrowed his eyes upon seeing this scene, a slight, contemptuous smile curving his lips.

The reason is simple: Nerva's Ancient Slaughter Machine... is essentially a Dominator-level mobile armor, and with the characteristics of the sealed artifact, it is extremely sturdy!
Even a powerful attack from a transcendent monarch would hardly cause any real damage.

Now, this Xia Fa, although he has transformed into the appearance of the three-headed, six-winged star silver dragon, dares to directly crash into the Ancient Slaughter Machine, which is like throwing an egg against a rock, and is simply courting death!

Boom!Boom!Boom!
The jet-black silver dragon that Xia Fa had transformed into was moving faster and faster, and its body seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, and it was also accumulating an extremely terrifying kinetic energy.

boom! boom! boom!
Nerva's Ancient Slaughter Machine, with its eight spider legs shattering the air, crashed head-on into the Star Silver Dragon without hesitation.

Both behemoths were incredibly fast, seemingly not wanting to give each other any time to react. The only difference was that the 100-meter-long Star Silver Dragon looked like a child screaming and recklessly charging at an adult in front of the 300-meter-long Ancient Slaughter Machine.

boom--! ! !
Finally, with a loud bang, the pitch-black star silver dragon and the spider-like ancient god machine collided, as if the heavens and earth trembled for a moment.

slam-la-

Numerous bronze parts scattered down, fluttering towards the bottom of the black sphere.

Nerva was smashed to pieces along with the cockpit, his body flying in all directions.

Roar! ! ! ! !
The jet-black silver dragon that Xia Fa had transformed into roared once more, like a wolf king biting off the head of its opponent in battle.

Immediately, the three dragon heads turned their gazes and locked onto the head in the distance.

That extraordinary monarch who was reduced to nothing but a head.

"not good……"

The extraordinary monarch finally realized something was wrong. Although he didn't recognize the secret technique Xia Fa had used, he could tell that this technique... had actually boosted Xia Fa's strength to an unbelievable level!
Despite not even being an angel, Xia Fa was able to withstand the influence of the "Medusa Realm" thanks to the increased strength gained from this secret technique!

That's something only a powerful, extraordinary monarch could withstand!

In the blink of an eye, countless black bandages appeared below His head, as if to reconstruct His body.

As if for this reason, the cow outside the black sphere trembled inexplicably, as if it wanted to break free from His control.

At the same time, the petrification of space stopped, and the coiled bodies of the black snakes began to separate.

The black sphere opens from the top and then quickly contracts.

Without a doubt, this extraordinary monarch who signed the contract with the Celestial Lord is preparing to flee.

Are you kidding me? Even Nerva and the Ancient Slaughter Machine were smashed to pieces by that pitch-black Star Silver Dragon. What else is there for Him to fight?

Using the "Moon Crystal Sphere" to draw upon the power of the stars, and then having the Star Spirit "White Hunt" devour the Moon Crystal Sphere to create the "Medusa Realm," is His strongest killing move, which has been used to kill countless opponents.

Now that Medusa's realm has lost its function, He is naturally preparing to escape.

As for Nerva? Of course, that's beyond our control.

"You little bastard, you..."

Suddenly, a furious, aged voice slowly rang out from afar.

What they saw was a nearly transparent soul, which looked remarkably like Nerva.

At the same time, Nerva's shattered body was also flying in that direction, rapidly coalescing.

"Long Taoyi, don't rush to escape. Hold him off and give me some time. I need to bring out that item!"

Nerva shouted, retreating rapidly as the black serpent on his back opened a gap, seemingly to let him in. The extraordinary monarch, now only a head, heard this, his eyes flashing, the black bandages ceasing their process of solidifying into a body, and he prepared to restore the Medusa Realm.

But just then, the jet-black silver dragon that was rushing toward Him suddenly turned one of its heads around and aimed it at Nerva in the distance.

Without the slightest delay, the dragon head opened its mouth and spewed out an invisible, transparent beam of light that rushed towards Nerva!

The moment that invisible, transparent beam of light appeared, countless sounds seemed to suddenly emerge in the surrounding air, as if people were having secret talks, crying, or roaring and accusing each other.

Not only that, but countless scenes of joy and sorrow in the mortal world also flashed within that transparent pillar of light.

Just one glance at the transparent beam of light, and the extraordinary monarch, now only a head, had a completely different expression, filled with astonishment and lingering fear.

"The Pillar of Mindstorm? He actually knows the Pillar of Mindstorm?"

As a transcendent monarch, although he was relatively young and might not recognize the secret technique used by Xia Fa, he certainly recognized the divine battle technique.

His experience fighting others since childhood had taught him that if he encountered an opponent who had mastered the [Pillar of Mind Storm], he must never allow his physical body to be shattered, no matter what!

Otherwise... once you become an angel, especially a ruler, your unparalleled life force will become a joke!
Sovereigns and extraordinary monarchs... originally, whether their soul or will was reduced to a sliver, or their physical body was reduced to mere bits of flesh, they could be restored to their original state.

However, if the physical body is shattered and the soul is forced to be exposed, and then the soul is hit by the [Pillar of Mind Storm], then the soul and the will within the soul will completely collapse due to the chaos!
The physical body will also be completely thrown into chaos, making it difficult to recover!
boom! ! !
Finally, the pillar of mental storm struck Nerva, whose physical body was condensing, at the speed of light.

Because Xiafa's movements were so fast, from the moment the dragon's head turned to the moment the pillar of thought storm was unleashed, and the pillar of thought storm arrived in an instant, even Nerva, as the ruler, was completely unable to react in time.

Moreover, He was already in the process of re-forming His physical body.

He could only watch helplessly as the pillar of mental storm approached, his eyes wide with despair.

"No!!!!!!!"

An extremely bizarre and chilling scene unfolded.

As Nerva was struck by the Pillar of Thought Storm, his physical body, which was about to solidify, suddenly split apart, each piece transforming into a bizarre shape.

A lump of flesh transformed into a flesh-colored slime, bouncing and jumping in the air, as if it had become an independent entity and was no longer a part of Nerva.

The other lump of flesh simply transformed into a bald little dwarf, screaming and laughing, spreading its arms and flying around in the air.

As for other physical forms, they can transform into cows, fish, sea urchins... and even all sorts of monsters.

Not only these large chunks of flesh that were about to coalesce, but even in the black sphere, some small chunks of flesh that Nerva had deliberately hidden away had transformed into flesh-colored flies or mosquitoes, buzzing around everywhere.

This was clearly a backup plan He left behind, but because His soul was struck by the pillar of mental storm, even the hidden pieces of flesh in the distance were affected!
As for Nerva's soul itself, it was instantly stuffed with a large amount of extremely chaotic and useless knowledge and information.

Countless scenes of joy and sorrow in the mortal world flashed through His body like images. His transparent soul covered his head, as if he could not bear it at all and was in extreme pain.

boom! ! !
Suddenly, Nerva's soul seemed to finally collapse, shattering violently.

As for the will within His soul, it had already crumbled into nothingness the instant He was struck by the pillar of mental storm.

boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!
As Nerva's soul shattered, the grotesque monsters formed from his fragmented body also exploded.

A flash of light appeared on the shattered pieces of meat, which then turned completely into a deathly dark red.

The extraordinary monarch, now only a head, was utterly horrified upon seeing this.

Because He had seen similar situations before.

The fact that the body turned dark red meant that the ruler was indeed dead and there was no possibility of recovery!

At this moment, the extraordinary monarch was utterly terrified, regretting that he couldn't resist the temptation and had to get involved in this mess.

Fortunately, there's still a chance to escape.

In that instant, countless black snakes suddenly hissed and rushed towards Xia Fa, biting at his dark dragon body.

Moo-!
At the same time, another sound of a cow moo came from outside the circular wall below the black sphere.

The extraordinary monarch glanced one last time at the pitch-black silver dragon that Xia Fa had transformed into, as if trying to remember him, before his head began to fade and disappear.

But just then, a soft "pop" sound came from inside the black sphere.

Immediately following, the purplish-black "bubble" suddenly expanded outwards from the center of the jet-black star-silver dragon!
The bubble was almost the same size as the black sphere, clinging tightly to the inner wall of the black sphere, which was composed of a snake's body. Starlight flowed erratically on the surface of the bubble, and the void suddenly became active.

It is... the fundamental secret technique of the Gate of Stars...

Starry Sky Bubbles!

The head of the extraordinary monarch, which was about to disappear, was naturally also included in the star bubble.

He didn't understand what had happened, or rather, even if he did, he couldn't quite grasp it.

what's the situation?
Xia Fa... isn't he a signatory to the Silver Throne?

The original secret technique that only Tefal, the signatory of the Gate of Stars, possesses is equivalent to His signature "Star Bubble." Why does Shafa also have it?
"Wait, Your Excellency, you are the Emperor of Secrets..."

Before the extraordinary monarch, now only a head, could finish speaking, his head suddenly "popped" and was directly teleported to Xia Fa's front within the star bubble.

Or rather, in the middle of the three heads of that three-headed, six-winged, jet-black, silver dragon.

The pitch-black star silver dragon that Xia Fa had transformed into had already fully charged up its three heads. Each of its mouths contained a luminous sphere formed from the pillar of thought storm, the silver of star destruction, and the silver of divine punishment. Without the slightest hesitation, it suddenly spewed them out at the head!

beep--!
drop--!
boom--!
This extraordinary monarch, now reduced to nothing but a head, had his head first shattered by the Silver Starlight, then his soul was rendered immobile by the Silver of Divine Punishment, and finally, his body and soul were both engulfed by the pillar of the storm of thought.

A burst of intense light and a chaotic storm of information erupted instantly, illuminating almost the entire black sphere.

Xiafa instantly broke free from the "critical loss of control" state, leaving only the appearance of a three-headed, six-winged star silver dragon.

This is precisely the main reason why he was willing to get involved, pretending to be immobilized by the power of spatial confinement, and voluntarily being included in this black sphere.

Only by being inside this black sphere, which is equivalent to being within the "barrier" set up by the cow-shaped Protoss, will the secret of his near-loss of control not be exposed.

Xia Fa knew that those rulers and angels who had been following him were probably already watching from afar outside Sea Urchin Island.

Under these circumstances, he naturally could not give others a handle to use against him.

Both Tefalo and the Laughing Clown had told him that once the news of "critical loss of control" got out, whoever it was, regardless of their identity or background, would be immediately sent to the church's inquisition for heresy trial.

After calming himself down, Xia Fa watched as the black snakes around him began to shrink their bodies and the black sphere slowly melted away. He breathed a sigh of relief.

Nerva is dead, of course, and so is the extraordinary monarch who signed the contract with the Celestial Lord.

"I never imagined that my current strength, even when I'm on the verge of losing control, would already slightly surpass that of a transcendent monarch who doesn't have any powerful trump cards..."

Xia Fa murmured to himself, finally gaining a clearer understanding of his own strength.

Of course, the only ones I can defeat are extraordinary monarchs like Long Taoyi, who have only signed about nine secret contracts, have no divine battle techniques, are not on the verge of losing control, and do not possess any powerful secret treasures or sealed artifacts...

However, it makes sense. If it weren't for an extraordinary monarch like Longtao, how could he have been persuaded by Nerva to come and kill him?

"Huh? This is..."

Just then, Xia Fa raised an eyebrow, and the three mercury dragon heads looked at the distance not far ahead.

That was... the place where that extraordinary monarch, whose only remaining form was his head, was completely killed and annihilated.

And in that place... there was a piece of corroded, wriggling rusty iron the size of half an apple!
Perhaps because it had absorbed a significant amount of the Star Destruction Silver, Heavenly Punishment Silver, and Mindstorm Pillar attacks it had just unleashed, this piece of corrupted, writhing rusty iron was frighteningly bright, like an incandescent light bulb, containing an energy density that even Xia Fa found terrifying.

That's why Shaphat suddenly understood why Alexander needed the corrosive, creeping rusty iron so much.

Judging from this, this sacred metal, Corrupted Creeping Rust Iron... seems perfectly suited for gathering all sorts of energy.

In other words, whether it is a mobile armor or a mechanical body modification, it is very necessary to use corroded, wriggling rusted iron as the core of mechanical magic to gather energy, especially the most important supernatural power among the energy.

Xia Fa, of course, didn't stand on ceremony. He opened his mouth and sucked in the corrosive, wriggling rusty iron, about the size of half an apple, and then casually fused it into a part of his dragon body.

Without a doubt, this must be the piece of corrosive, wriggling rusty iron that Nerva obtained when he dissected the twelve colors of light at the whale watching festival, worth nearly twenty million gold pounds.

Unexpectedly, Nerva was so generous as to use it as payment to this extraordinary monarch in exchange for His help.

Of course, Xia Fa understood that it wouldn't be that expensive to hire a transcendent monarch; sometimes five million gold pounds could be negotiated.

This is the estimated total compensation.

In other words, the combined reward required by this extraordinary monarch, along with the several rulers who had previously been responsible for monitoring him, a dozen or so angels, and even the demigods, was this piece of corrupt, wriggling, rusty iron.

"By the way, Nerva's treasures..."

Xia Fa turned his head and saw that the mobile armor, which was most likely a sealed artifact, had been completely shattered by his collision and was now useless.

Even the secret treasure that each leg of the spider-like motor armor held was directly destroyed by his own crash.

Fortunately, all that remained were the almond-shaped glass bottle, a small axe, and a button.

Xia Fa also opened his mouth and inhaled, sucking the three treasures into the dragon's head. This time, he put them directly into the black bag.

After all, Nerva was the head of an ancient whale-hunting family and a master whale hunter.

In this situation, the secret treasure He used to deal with Him this time must be extraordinary, probably worth millions of gold pounds.

However, both Nerva and the extraordinary monarch were quite cautious, as they did not bring any additional travel bags with them when they went out.

Xiafa estimated that even this piece of corroded, wriggling rusty iron was something Nerva was willing to pay this extraordinary monarch on the spot, knowing that action was imminent.

At this moment, the black sphere had completely faded away, and the black snakes had all shrunk into the body of the cow on the sea surface below.

Xia Fa glanced down and saw that the cow's huge eyes were calm, but its body was slowly turning into starlight and dissipating.

As a celestial being bound by a contract, it cannot survive when its master dies.

But it was unusually calm, as if it had found some kind of relief.

"Moo-!"

The cow suddenly raised its head and mooed at Xia Fa.

Immediately, its bull-like body trembled violently, transforming into specks of starlight that vanished completely into the Star Spirit Realm.

Xia Fa was slightly taken aback, because he actually understood the meaning behind the cow's last moo.

It seemed to be thanking Xiafa for freeing it; it would rather die than be controlled and forced to fight to the death every day.

At the same time, Xia Fa also learned its name—White Hunt.

"Wait... Could it be that this Protoss was forcibly contracted by that transcendent monarch?"

Xia Fa didn't know much about the secrets of the Spirit Control Sect or the extraordinary beings, and he hadn't had a chance to chat and communicate with Kazimierz.

Even on the pirate ship, Kazimierz didn't talk much, preferring to do his own thing in a methodical way, such as feeding the spirits he had made a pact with and writing in his diary.

But now, Xia Fa has a bold conjecture.

It seems that... anyone who signs the overlord-level secret contract of the Star Spirit Master can forcibly contract a Star Spirit as long as they become a transcendent monarch?
Otherwise, why would Bai Shou harbor such deep resentment and only seek liberation?
Xia Fa shook his head slightly and sighed.

It can only be said that these are truly top-tier secret contracts; not a single one is simple.

The Star Spirits wandering in the Star Spirit Realm are all at least Sovereigns, yet they were forcibly contracted by a transcendent monarch who had signed a Star Spirit Law Lord contract... and then were arbitrarily controlled, with no way to disobey.

This is practically the same as directly contracting with a ruler and then controlling and commanding Him!
Putting aside his ethereal thoughts, Xiafa turned his massive dragon body, and all three dragon heads looked toward Sandworm Island.

Although, since Nerva is already dead, the other rulers responsible for monitoring him probably wouldn't dare to take action.

However, he couldn't be completely sure, so he had to be on high alert.

But when his spiritual intuition extended over, he was slightly startled.

The reason is that the direction from Sea Urchin Island to Sandworm Island is completely empty; there are no more rulers or angels who had previously tracked him!

……

At this moment.

"This is insane! This is insane! Is this the Silver Throne Signer? Has Xia Fa already become an angel?"

A ruler from the "Spirit Master Association" let out a strange cry, seemingly trying to express his inner fear, while desperately fleeing towards the City of Ten Thousand Stars.

Although they were only responsible for monitoring and tracking Xiafa, it was equivalent to making enemies of Xiafa. They were really afraid that Xiafa would chase after them at all costs and kill them all in the form of the three-headed, six-winged star silver dragon.

Another leader of the Spirit Master Association looked utterly terrified:

"Although we don't know exactly what happened in Bai Shou's Medusa Realm, Long Taoyi just died like that. He was the president of our Spirit Master Association, the only transcendent monarch! He even forcibly formed a contract with Bai Shou, this Star Spirit, and he just died like that!"

One of the angels following behind them was on the verge of tears:
"Enough with the talk, Vice Presidents! Could you please turn around and check if Xia Fa is catching up? I'm really scared! We shouldn't have listened to the President's advice and taken on this difficult task!"

At this moment, not only were the members of the Spirit Master Association from the "Lawless Land" fleeing in a frenzy, but the other rulers and angels summoned by Nerva were also scattering and fleeing in all directions.

At the same time, they all sent out messages in their own ways.

The message was very simple, consisting of only one sentence.

"Nerva is dead! Longtao is dead! They all died at the hands of Shafa, who has seemingly become an angel!"

The news quickly spread throughout the entire City of Ten Thousand Stars. Many seemingly idle tourists and thugs fell silent upon hearing the news, and at the same time began to look for ways to leave the City of Ten Thousand Stars.

Those extraordinary assassins lurking in the shadows returned to a state of waiting for missions. The connections of the ancient Whale-hunting family were completely useless at this moment, and Nerva's old friends could only mourn in silence.

A bloody net cast against Xia Fa is crumbling like an avalanche...

"Gentlemen, please wait a moment."

Suddenly, a voice that sounded like a half-smile rang out from the sky.

At the same time, a powerful aura and pressure belonging only to veteran extraordinary monarchs instantly spread out.

The members of the Spirit Master Association were all startled and involuntarily stopped, looking at the distance not far ahead with a mixture of fear and apprehension.

On the sea, Fukuzawa Ren, who looked like a merchant, slowly appeared.

Behind the head of the Gold Rush Merchants Guild on Caligi in the Light Star Region stood another veteran transcendental monarch, whose half-body was a fiery skeleton and the other half was ashen and emaciated.

He sat atop the "Time-Distorted Clock Tower," and from the faintly open doors below, one could vaguely see the figures of the other rulers and angels who were monitoring and tracking Shaphat.

Even many of the demigods who participated in the operation were imprisoned.

"Fellow extraordinary individuals of the Spirit Master Association, shall I invite you in, or will you go in on your own?"

Fukuzawa Ren smiled as he looked at the members of the Spirit Master Association, but the look in his narrow eyes seemed to want to kill.

The rulers and angels of the Spirit Masters Association looked at each other, and finally, with pale faces, they walked toward the clock tower.

Fukuzawa Ren nodded in satisfaction, then looked towards Ulmus Island and casually inquired of the Spirit Master Association members who were entering the clock tower:
"Is Mr. Xiafa there? We need to investigate something with him. If he is indeed innocent, our Gold Miners' Guild will compensate him with a very valuable gift."

"Of course, the money will have to come from you people."
