The Seventh Base

Chapter 461: Chapter 76 Captain Xu Mo
 

Time trickled by, and outside the interstellar battleship, the storm grew stronger, with more people converging on the location.

It wasn’t just humans who arrived, but giant beasts as well, making their way to the ocean floor.

Both humans and monsters stared at the interstellar battleship, feeling the energy storm bleeding out from within, growing stronger by the moment.

“Captain Jiang.”

At this moment, a figure approached, it was Jiang Lan.

“What’s happened?” Jiang Lan asked.

“There’s been an unforeseen event, the energy body inside is still erupting, releasing even stronger energy. I’ve tried, but I can’t get in now; I’m afraid we have to wait for the energy storm to subside,” Ye Huan replied.

Ye Huan’s words carried weight, his strength was beyond doubt.

If Ye Huan couldn’t enter, others had even less chance. A few who were not afraid of death boldly attempted to enter, but were eradicated by the energy particles before they could even get inside.

In the Deep Sea Area, monsters roared angrily, encircling the humans as the aura of the place grew increasingly terrifying.

“Let’s retreat. We’ve recorded the coordinates. We can only continue monitoring the energy fluctuations here and look for opportunities!” Jiang Lan said.

“Okay,” Ye Huan nodded.

Fu Yuan stared ahead, his eyes filled with intense unwillingness.

“Buzz…” Jiang Lan moved toward the surface of the sea domain, a powerful energy erupting from his body. The surrounding giant beasts roared madly, but they seemed extremely wary of Jiang Lan, daring not to approach. Even the king of the monsters was there, with two heads injured, it watched Jiang Lan intensely but made no move.

“Retreat.”

“Retreat.”

People from all sides issued the command to pull back, rushing towards the surface of the sea.

Some time later, they gradually returned to the ocean warships waiting in the perimeter.

Many were missing.

This mission came at a great cost, even the Divine Sword Bureau lost many in this task.

Yet, the mission was not completed, it was a return without success.

The atmosphere was oppressive.

Seeing who did not return, they could roughly guess who had perished.

On the tumultuous sea surface, the Federation team and the Divine Sword Bureau’s people all stared ahead, their joint operation ultimately ending in failure.

……

At the location of the interstellar battleship, those giant beasts were still on the periphery, also visibly anxious, not daring to approach the battleship’s core area.

The monsters had gathered here because of the energy radiating from the interstellar battleship, which they could absorb bit by bit, making this area very suitable for the growth of monsters, hence many giant beasts converged here.

But now, this change made them uneasy, not knowing whether it was good or bad.

These damned humans trespassed on their territory, they would pay the price!

Inside the interstellar battleship.

The control room.

Only Xu Mo and Ye Xi were still here, their bodies weakly floating, appearing particularly helpless in the midst of the energy storm.

If it weren’t for Xu Mo’s spiritual power, they would have long since died in the energy storm.

Ye Xi had already despaired, her mind filled with countless thoughts, yet she found only one dead end.

They might be going to die here.

Only, Guffu was still alive, which she couldn’t accept.

Fearfully, no one yet knew it was Guffu who had killed Han Hu, and he would continue to hide within the Federation.

With Guffu’s strength and position, if he could commit such an act, then it surely wasn’t just him involved; this would be a great threat to the Federation.

Sadly, she was powerless now.

And this mission had cost Xu Mo his life; she felt somewhat guilty towards Xu Mo and Zero.

However, Xu Mo hadn’t thought so much; at this moment, he only wanted to survive.

He sensed the energy storm with his spiritual power.

He realized they might all have been mistaken.

In this miniature universe, the star bodies were the true Super Energy Bodies, orbiting the white Energy Light Ball, they were the source of the energy.

But these star bodies didn’t release energy directly, and instead formed a cycle centered around the light ball, even flowing throughout the entire interstellar battleship.

That floating Energy Light Ball in the center was not the Super Energy Body itself.

The previous contact with the light ball seemed to have disrupted the energy cycle, leading to energy spilling out and intensifying the energy storm in this space.

If the light ball could affect the energy cycle, then to resolve the crisis, this Energy Light Ball was key.

Xu Mo struggled a bit, continuing like this would mean death for both him and Ye Xi.

There was no time left.

With that thought, Xu Mo directed his spiritual power toward the central light ball; although he guessed the light ball was not a Super Energy Body, at that moment it still contained formidable energy. This risky move could be fatal if not careful.

As his spiritual power penetrated into the light ball, Xu Mo felt a terrifying surge of Energy Light directly flood his mind.

“It’s over…” A thought arose in Xu Mo, was this the same outcome that the previous person had triggered?

Blinding light approached, and he didn’t resist; instead, he controlled his spiritual power to absorb the Energy Light, since he was likely to die anyway.

Xu Mo’s superpower was that his brain could absorb energy, but he had only absorbed Source Power before. Facing such terrifying energy, wouldn’t he die of brain death?

“Buzz…” The instant this thought emerged, Xu Mo felt as if he were engulfed by the Energy Light, the potent energy light furiously pouring into his mind. Simultaneously, Xu Mo’s consciousness seemed to enter the light ball. In that moment, he felt as if he saw many visions.
