I'm not just human!

Even spiritual intuition can hardly leave the body anymore; if it does, it will be completely absorbed by this strange and incomparable black mist.

Xia Fa managed to discern the direction and, confirming that he was running in a straight line and getting away from that carriage, tried to calm himself down and eliminate as much of the influence of the black fog as possible, and continued to run.

"what!!!!!"

A terrifying and shrill scream suddenly rang out from quite a distance behind them, carrying straight over.

With the black mist present, Xia Fa wouldn't have been able to hear it, but the scream reached within a meter of him, making it impossible for him not to hear it.

Immediately afterwards, an incredibly strong stench of blood filled the air.

Xia Fa's nose twitched slightly, and his expression became moved.

"An extraordinary monarch..."

He has already personally killed two extraordinary monarchs: one was Long Taoyi, who signed nine secret contracts, and the other was the Roaring Emperor, who signed fifteen secret contracts.

Therefore, just by smelling the blood, he could almost immediately tell the difference through comparison.

The 24-hour survival challenge of the Dream Come True sea train had just begun when a transcendent monarch died, something no one could have predicted.

The sound of the monster chewing on the corpse rang out, crunching loudly. As a supreme being, the physical body of a transcendent monarch was already incredibly tough, but precisely because of this, the sound was extremely loud, almost making one's eardrums tingle.

In that instant, an extremely intense sense of fear permeated almost the entire train.

That bizarre being, whose power was close to that of a god... not only killed people, but also ate them.

In that instant, Xia Fa clearly felt that the black mist around him was broken several times, and countless figures swept past him. It was clear that the extraordinary monarchs had used their life-saving abilities to flee for their lives.

Seeing this, Xia Fa shook his head slightly.

These people are so afraid of death. They just want to run faster so that the mysterious god can devour those who run slower.

Since that's the case...

Xia Fa squatted down slightly, and in that instant, a massive amount of high-temperature silver mercury covered his body, and he instantly entered the form of the Starry Silver Throne.

Whoosh-!

Starlight vapor suddenly burst forth from the dense array of pores on his back, and Xia Fa's body was practically flashing with starlight at a frequency so high that it was impossible to see with the naked eye. In an instant, he traversed several incredible distances forward.

The passengers fleeing in the same direction as him only saw a flash of silvery starlight in the black fog, and then the starlight instantly appeared in front of them at a great distance. Then the starlight flashed again and disappeared from sight.

In just a few breaths, Xia Fa had already run to the front of everyone.

Fortunately, the stomach contained the undigested flesh of the wall of blood and flesh, which meant that the dozens of "Star Silver Flashes" that would normally have exhausted his supernatural power did not put any burden on his body.

After absorbing a total of one and a half fist-sized pure white light-chasing silver crystals, his human form in the Starshine Silver Throne was nearly ten meters tall, much taller than even the giant royal family.

After landing with Star Silver Flash, Xia Fa did not slacken his pace at all and continued to run forward, using Star Silver Flash every certain distance.

Originally, on his way to surpass everyone, he wanted to find Tefalo, the Laughing Clown, and his cousin, but the black fog was too dense, making it impossible to find them.

But Xiafa wasn't too worried. Tefalo and his cousin, the Father of Ten Thousand Stars, were second to none. As signatories of the Gate of Stars, their speed and escape abilities were top-notch among all extraordinary monarchs.

As for the Laughing Clown and the Shark Princess, one has mastered the complete critical point of losing control and can unleash extreme speed at critical moments, while the other has the incomplete "Dancing King Mask" from the Mysterious Treasure, making them much safer than the other passengers.

"What should we do... Are we just going to run away like this for a whole day and night?"

As Xia Fa fled through the black fog, he pondered the situation.

Although this aligns perfectly with the theme of the "24-Hour Survival Challenge," Xia Fa still felt there might be other methods.

After all, special types of ghost realms like this are unlikely to be designed to kill everyone.

Even "time loop type ghost realms" have ways to be broken, so the popular Dream Come True sea train is even more so, with a survival rate of at least one in six.

Within 24 hours, that eerie entity could wipe out all the passengers, so figuring out how to achieve that one-sixth survival rate is a very delicate matter...

While maintaining high-speed escape, Xia Fa occasionally used Star Silver Flash to avoid being caught by others, especially by that strange quasi-god, all the while his brain was working at lightning speed.

"A desolate place... You must never step outside the train's area..."

"A bizarre entity approaching godhood, its target is hunting extraordinary monarchs... and of course, it might also take advantage of rulers and angels along the way..."

"Black mist...black mist..."

Suddenly, a golden light appeared before Xia Fa's eyes, like lightning piercing through the thick black fog.

His eyes suddenly lit up!

Of course, don't get me wrong, it wasn't because he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with a solution, but rather because a dazzling golden light actually appeared not far in front of him, which inadvertently illuminated his eyes.

The golden light seemed to be of an unbelievably high level, instantly dispersing the surrounding black mist.

No, rather than saying it dispersed the black mist, it's more accurate to say that the black mist was actively avoiding the golden light out of extreme fear!

"This is……!"

The next moment, the golden light dissipated, revealing a giant golden axe.

Xia Fa was very familiar with this golden giant axe, especially the ancient patterns of intertwined branches on it, which immediately reminded him of something.

"...One of those two Golden Heavy Cavalrymen who are comparable to the Nine Great Gods?"

But before he could react, the giant golden axe suddenly came hurtling toward him.

In that instant, an immense pressure, powerful enough to cause a mountain to collapse and a tsunami to crash down, enveloped him.

The oppressive aura was terrifying beyond description, directly imprisoning the surrounding space and rendering Xia Fa completely unable to move, not even able to blink.

Xia Fa had never felt such despair, as if he were merely a fish on a chopping board, or an insect facing the crushing foot of a giant elephant.

The golden giant axe exuded a power that he was completely unable to resist with his current strength, a power so great that it could destroy everything.

A burning sensation suddenly surged up in his body, spreading from his heart meridian, burning fiercely to an extreme degree, as if it would burn through his entire body from the inside out, or even overflow out of his body.

Xia Fa suddenly realized that he seemed to be able to move again.

However, in that brief moment of delay, the giant golden axe had already arrived in front of him.

But immediately, the golden giant axe did something completely unexpected.

Suddenly, the side of the giant golden axe hooked around his body with the curved back of the blade.

Then, they pulled him directly out of the train.

But from beginning to end, it didn't hurt him in the slightest.

Because, although the golden giant axe was extremely thick and wide, the extreme curvature of the axe blade caused the sharpest points at both ends to bend backward, leaving the curved parts blunt and unpolished.

In this situation, hooking Xia Fa with the curved part of the axe blade would naturally not harm him in the slightest.

Of course, Xia Fa understood that with the strength of this golden heavy cavalryman, which was comparable to the nine great gods, not to mention that the curved part of the axe blade was blunt, even a slight exertion could easily shatter his body.

In other words, since he was unharmed, and considering the previous actions of this heavily armored golden cavalryman wielding a giant axe...

Xia Fa composed himself slightly, looked up, and saw a magnificent golden mountain rising majestically from within the black mist.

The black mist almost instantly dispersed in fear, revealing the towering golden mountain, which was none other than the giant, heavily armored cavalryman carrying a golden axe!

It was clad in ancient and heavy golden armor, the patterns on which were mysterious and intricate, as if it came from the primordial era at the beginning of the universe.

In its left hand it holds a round shield, the patterns on which are extremely mysterious and solemn, giving people a sense of indestructibility that cannot be broken by any means.

As for the warhorse beneath it, it stood quietly at this moment, wisps of white breath emanating from its nostrils. The white breath shot straight into the sky, yet it made the void tremble slightly.

In that instant, the golden-armored cavalryman looked down, his gaze beneath his visor indifferent as a god, carrying an unparalleled majesty that looked down upon all living beings.

"You...you...shouldn't...have...participated...in...this..."

The next moment, the golden-armored cavalryman actually spoke, but his words were intermittent, giving the impression of a toddler learning to speak.

Xia Fa never expected that this heavily armored golden cavalryman would not only pull him out of the train, but would also actually speak to him!

Moreover, this golden heavy cavalryman wielding a giant axe seemed to be able to control his almost godlike aura from the very beginning.

Therefore, unlike in the underground cave realm, where he almost lost control after just one glance from another heavily armored golden cavalryman carrying a halberd.

At this moment, he could clearly hear the voice of the golden heavy cavalryman, unlike when facing other unknown beings of higher rank, where without using strange electricity, he could not understand what they were saying and could only hear their crazy babbling.

"Hello? Thank you for saving me several times."

Xia Fa first greeted them very politely. Since these golden heavy cavalrymen appeared on the Dream Come True sea train, it meant that the last time and the time before that were definitely not coincidental.

Last time, it was on the planet Dark, where the giants wiped out the army of rotten poisonous insects with a single axe blow.

The time before last, naturally, was in the nested strange domain of the underground cave realm, in the city where the giant jaw beast established its civilization, where it persuaded the golden heavy cavalry carrying the halberd to leave.

Otherwise, the other golden heavy cavalryman carrying the halberd would probably have beheaded him as well, just like the other god who beheaded him, since he had already noticed him.

I can't even resist this Golden Heavy Cavalryman now, let alone back when I hadn't even signed a single Overlord-level secret contract and was just a mere Fungus-level superhuman.

"Okay...okay, you...you don't need to be so polite with me."

The heavily armored golden cavalryman actually waved his hand, appearing quite loyal.

Xia Fa keenly noticed that its speech became much smoother in the latter half.

Suddenly, he had a guess. He raised his head, looked at the towering, mountain-like golden heavy cavalry, and continued:

"You just said that I shouldn't have participated in this Dream Come True Sea Train? Can you tell me why?"

The heavily armored golden cavalryman replied almost without hesitation:

“That monster… will prioritize hunting you down, and then… and then it will eat you once it discovers you.”

Sure enough, after only the third conversation, its language ability was almost as good as that of an adult.

Xia Fa sighed inwardly, truly worthy of being compared to the nine great gods, their growth rate was too fast.

However, this statement was somewhat ambiguous, so Xia Fa had no choice but to ask further:

Is it because there's something special about me?

The heavily armored golden cavalryman nodded:

"More or less, but I can only see the special features in you, but I don't understand them yet. I... I need to slowly learn the various definitions of mystical knowledge that you humans and demi-humans have, and match them one by one with the concepts in my mind, before I can understand them."

Xia Fa was taken aback, but then felt a surge of joy.

Since coming into this world, among all the mysteries, big and small, that he has encountered, besides the authenticity of the nine righteous gods, the one that confuses him the most is what exactly he is.

Now it seems that this golden heavy cavalryman... might know a little bit?

"Can you explain to me what makes me special? I really want to know."

Xia Fa spoke without hesitation, his tone exceptionally sincere.
