My cards can be infinitely combined.

Chapter 597 Beast Card Giant Spirit

On Mount Chiyang, the crimson sun formed from the holy sword cast a beam of red light, pointing straight at the ancient deep-space probe carried by the giant star beast.

The ancient probe was badly damaged and looked like the wreckage of an airship.

As for the giant star beast, it was also covered in wounds. It resembled a war elephant, but its trunk had been severed and was flowing with blood that looked like starlight. Its two tusks were also broken, and many huge swords, halberds and other weapons were pierced into its body.

However, it remained arrogant, with bloodshot eyes, showing a resolute and determined attitude to fight to the death.

Its level is 633. It doesn't seem to have any powerful methods, but its physique is really strong. It was able to withstand the attack of 36 Thorne War Angels for a while!

However, the Colossus of the Stars was already at its last gasp. If Zhou Nan hadn't arrived, he would have been killed by Thorne's War Angels in no time.

There were 36 Thorne War Angels surrounding it, more than half of whom had transformed into giant war swords. The highest-level one was level 650 and named Bege, while the rest were all level 500.

Zhou Nan's arrival greatly surprised the Thorne War Angels, and the level 650 Thorne War Angel immediately led twelve subordinates to surround Chiyang Mountain.

Chiyang Mountain is a single, unified entity. From the outside, it appears as a mountain peak crowned by the red sun. There is not much vegetation on it, but only by truly destroying it can the Imaginary Card World residing within be threatened. Ordinary people who want to enter the Imaginary Card World can only do so through the mountain gate.

Before the Thorne War Angels could launch their attack, Black Card Angel Zhou Xiaonan and Yellow Card Grandmaster Xiao Taichong flew out from Chiyang Mountain. Despite being only level 500, their cards were originally obtained from Zhou Nan, and due to the special nature of the cards, they were not afraid even when facing a group of Thorne War Angels of the same level.

Zhou Xiaonan, the Black Card Angel, is a conceptual being. Her essence is black card data residing in the abyss. She can inject her will into the True Black Angel card, making her very difficult to destroy.

Her cards are incredibly powerful: [Abyss Sword Immortal], [Black Abyss God General], [Black Abyss Great Demon], [Black Abyss Panda Immortal], and [Black Abyss Old Dragon King]—each with tentacles, multiple eyes, and multiple legs, appearing like real, mysterious, divine creatures. Each of them can fight against a level 500 powerhouse.

Huang Ka Taijun is even more valiant. With all the Dragon Palace battle skill cards on his body, he pressed down with a palm to create a gravity vortex, trapping three Thorne War Angels. He raised his head and let out a water dragon roar, repelling the enemies in front of him. He teleported infinitely to catch up and launched a spear attack at close range. He can also move sideways. The Turtle Prime Minister card transformed into the steady battle skill Huang Ka made him seem as if he were wearing an invincible shield. He is truly capable of fighting, enduring, and running away.

Xiao Taiyong didn't dare leave the mountain gate this time. He did have a nine-star purple card in his hand, which was the [Panda Poet Immortal] card that Zhou Nan had created based on the database of "Haoran Civilization".

After the panda poet appeared, he recited "The Ballad of the Knight-Errant," and his righteous aura condensed from the void into the phantom of a knight-errant who could kill a man in ten steps. The phantom stood guard in front of the gate of Chiyang Mountain, with long hair flying, a cold face, and holding a bright and shiny long sword. He had the air of a master.

A war angel of unknown origin, transformed into a sword, flew out, only to be cleaved in two by the swordsman's phantom.

The War Angel Thorne cried out and reverted to his original form, now missing both arms. His eyes widened in horror as he took three steps back.

"kill!"

Panda Poet shouted again, and the phantom of the swordsman chased after him. His body was like a streak of light, and his sword was like a thunderclap. He directly beheaded the War Angel of Thorne. The War Angel of Thorne's body then turned into light and disappeared, leaving behind a rhombus-shaped crystal in the void.

This startled Xiao Taichong, who exclaimed, "So strong?"

Zhou Nan sat cross-legged atop Chiyang Mountain. He also noticed this scene and knew that the reason why the phantom of the knight was so strong was because the Haoran Civilization had its unique features and because the poem "The Knight's Journey" was powerful.

However, while [Panda Poet Immortal] is powerful, it also has a fatal flaw: the artistic conception cannot be forced, and the righteous spirit must be righteous. If the artistic conception is broken, for example, if the hero already gathered by [Wandering Swordsman] fails to achieve "killing one person in ten steps", then Panda Poet Immortal will be unable to unleash the righteous spirit again for a period of time, turning back into a card on the spot, and becoming unusable for a period of time. It is even possible that the card will lose stars or be directly destroyed.

Therefore, poems like "Xia Ke Xing" are like a double-edged sword for the Panda Poet Immortal; they are powerful, but also dangerous.

At this moment, Zhou Nan also made his move. This time, facing numerous Thorne War Angels, and not just running away, he had to personally lead the battle.

He no longer has any cards of purple quality or higher, but he can use them himself, along with some low-tier green cards, such as the Nine-Layer Pagoda card, the Super Demon card, and the Old Dragon King card.

As long as it's a green card, no matter how strong the skill is, whether it's a useless card or a god-tier card, it's all the same to Zhou Nan; he can make it instantly.

Zhou Nan's target was, of course, the level 650 Thorne War Angel Bege.

Although Thorne's War Angels are of a higher level and have better combat skills and methods, they still won't run away and will only fight head-on.

Zhou Nan killed it in less than three minutes and obtained its rhombus-shaped crystal. He immediately fused and absorbed the crystal, and then learned the details of the Starry Sky War Elephant that was still being besieged not far away.

Those starry war elephants came from the "giant planet" in the starry sky, a huge planet that was more than a thousand times larger than Earth and was extremely far away.

That planet is home to many cosmic behemoths, and can be considered a lair for them.

The civilization of the "Beast Planet" is, of course, the Beast Civilization. The intelligent race on the Beast Planet cultivates, raises, and controls cosmic behemoths, making them extremely powerful. Perhaps, to the will of deep space, this civilization poses a far greater threat than the Earth civilization.

It is precisely because of its power that it has attracted the attention of the will of deep space, which sent deep space probes to monitor it countless years ago.

However, the behemoth civilization was later destroyed, not by a deep-space force, but by a civil war. This civil war even destroyed the deep-space probe in the process. In the end, only one intelligent being remained on the behemoth planet. He found the damaged deep-space probe, merged with it, deciphered the information in the probe's core control program, and obtained a route map to deep space.

The sole survivor of this colossal civilization then arrived in the deep space world with his star-beast mount.

Unfortunately, he was very unlucky. As soon as he entered deep space, he was discovered by a deep space probe, and a large fleet, Thorne angels, and Thorne war angels came to hunt him down.

That person was not a divine being and could not obtain deep space information like Zhou Nan. He was surrounded and intercepted by various forces and was frequently injured. Ten years later, this original sole survivor of the giant beast planet died in battle, leaving behind a giant elephant mount dragging a broken deep space probe to continue his escape in deep space.

The giant elephant viewed the Thorne people as enemies. To the weak Thorne, it was a moving natural disaster, invading cities, fortresses, and settlements, and wiping out large numbers of Thorne people.

In fact, this Thorne fighting force had been tracking it for many days, waiting to kill it today.

Zhou Nan arrived just in time.

Next, Zhou Nan rode the Crimson Sun Mountain directly into the encirclement of Thorne's Battle Angels. A large number of summoned cards flew out from the mountain gate. Zhou Nan was clearly going to fight alongside the giant star elephant. This was not exactly an act of heroism, because his goal was the deep space data in the ancient probe and... the Holy Sword!

In Zhou Nan's perception, there was no doubt that the probe contained a holy sword, but that holy sword was certainly not comparable to the holy sword of the Earth probe.

Before long, all 36 Starry Sky Thorn War Angels were dead. Zhou Nan digested and absorbed all the diamond-shaped crystals they dropped, and his memory suddenly exceeded ten trillion. Zhou Nan's level also increased to level 680.

"Woohoo!"

The colossal celestial beast, larger than a small mountain, roared, shaking the void.

It was completely exhausted. It glanced at Zhou Nan, and then collapsed, unable to hold on any longer. The blood flowing from its wounds gradually lost its crystalline color.

"This colossal celestial beast possessed human-like qualities; what a pity!"

Zhou Nan shook his head and sighed, then went to collect the remains of the ancient probe on the back of the giant star beast.

A moment later, Zhou Nan absorbed all the deep space data and obtained a holy sword as he wished. The holy sword could only be described as barely taking shape, and it was far inferior to the holy sword condensed in the core of the terrain probe.

The deep space data contained information about the "Beast Civilization," but unfortunately, this data was not very useful to Zhou Nan, as he did not have any suitable cards to create.

As for the newly acquired holy sword, Zhou Nan gave it to Xiao Taiyong without hesitation. Xiao Taiyong was overjoyed and immediately went to the camp square to fuse the holy sword.

Time passed slowly. Three days later, Xiao Taiyong completely fused with the holy sword without any unexpected incidents. He also became a divine being, leveling up to 525. His appearance changed drastically, transforming him into a three-meter-tall, barefoot, shirtless, bald, muscular man named [Beast Card Giant Spirit]!

The [Beast Card Giant] can only use [Beast Cards] and cannot create cards, but it can turn existing cards into [Beast Cards]. [Beast Cards] are all green cards, and it has only one skill: transform into a giant beast.

Xiao Taiyong's Holy Sword Database contains a compendium of cosmic behemoths. During the process of creating the [Beast Card], the divine power within him takes effect, transforming the original card into a cosmic behemoth card with similar or closest abilities. Yue is a [Beast Card].

Using the [Beast Card] allows you to transform into a celestial behemoth and possess all its abilities. Only the [Beast Card Giant Spirit] or a divine creature from the same series can use the [Beast Card].

After obtaining Zhou Nan's permission, Xiao Taichong modified the Dragon Palace deck of purple cards that Zhou Nan had given him into beast cards. Among them, the Crab General card became the Starry Sky Giant Crab card, the Shrimp Soldier card became the Starry Sky Giant Shrimp card, the Turtle Prime Minister card became the Rock Spirit Giant Turtle card, the Little Dragon Girl card became the Crystal Dragon card, the Dragon Prince card became the White Dragon card, and the Old Dragon King card became the Azure Dragon card.

After acquiring the Beast Card, Xiao Taiyong demonstrated its use to Zhou Nan, Xiao Taichong, and Zhou Xiaonan. He used the Old Dragon King Card, which transformed him into a giant azure dragon thousands of meters long.

The Azure Dragon, a mythical creature in Earth, is suspected to be a creation of the ancients. However, in the records of the Giant Beast Civilization, the Azure Dragon is a very powerful celestial behemoth that actually exists and is of a very high rank.

Xiao Taiyong's incarnation as a blue dragon has five claws and blue-green hair on its neck and the center of its back. It can summon wind and thunder, and can breathe water and fire. Its eyes can also project a deadly crystalline light, and wounds caused by its claws are difficult to heal.

In short, the Azure Dragon's abilities are completely different from those of the [Old Dragon King Ao Jiaozhu]. The latter was simply the most suitable celestial beast found in the Celestial Beast Encyclopedia compared to the former.

This is appropriate, and it seems to have nothing to do with card skills or card characteristics.

Zhou Nan gave Xiao Taiyong another nine-star green Old Dragon King card, which Xiao Taiyong then transformed into a beast card, still a Azure Dragon card. However, the Azure Dragon formed from this card was only thirty meters long, the same as the non-permanent Azure Dragon Baby, and its combat power was far inferior to that of a purple Azure Dragon.

Xiao Taiyong was quite satisfied with his "profession". He squatted in the camp square and processed all the cards he had obtained into [Beast Cards]. When he saw a Starry Sky Beast card that was particularly interesting, he used it on the spot to transform and experience it.

Thus, Xiao Taiyong can be considered the third true super card warrior in Chiyang Mountain, after Zhou Nan.

While continuing to wage guerrilla warfare against the Thorne War Angels in deep space, Crimson Mountain also collected deep space data. Two months later, Zhou Nan left the Doron system and arrived at the last star system in the Kane Star Region, Sgard!

The Skard Galaxy contains countless irregularly shaped planets and a large number of cosmic behemoths, such as the Starry Sky Shark, Starlight Wolf, Star-devouring Beast, Gold-devouring Beast, Gaia Bear, and so on. Some adult cosmic behemoths are very powerful, and even ordinary cosmic behemoths, once they reach adulthood, will not be lower than level 500.

The Star Behemoths generally hate all other creatures and will take the initiative to attack. From time to time, Star Behemoths from the Skard system will run to the other three star systems to wreak havoc.

Therefore, the most dangerous force in the Skard system is not the Thorne War Angels, but the Star Behemoths.

Meanwhile, the probe formed by the holy sword atop Mount Chiyang projected a red light into the depths of the Skard system. Zhou Nan sensed it briefly and was surprised to discover that there was an enormous deep-space database deep within this system, more than ten times the size of Zhou Nan's current database.

"Could it be that we've encountered a data host in deep space?"

Zhou Nan frowned slightly. Once he made this discovery, even if there were mountains of knives and seas of fire ahead, Zhou Nan had no choice but to brave them.

As a result, after three days of dodging one powerful cosmic beast after another, Zhou Nan finally discovered the database he had been searching for.

Then, it turned out to be just a little black cat, much like a real black cat, and it looked quite cute.

But it is definitely not an ordinary little black cat.

Zhou Nan couldn't detect its level information, but upon first glance, he felt it was extremely strange.
