Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 211 The Terrifying "Third Law"

After receiving the most lavish hospitality from the Salmon Dream, Shi Ming piloted the Dayun, laden with gifts of gratitude, and left the area.

He has already planned the next flight route.

His destination was Mount Fujin, but he wouldn't choose a direct route to save time. Instead, he would circle around from the Mediterranean to the Sea of ​​Ashes, and then go to the waters under the jurisdiction of the King-class drifting ship Black Gold.

He wanted to see the investment worm, Weimingzhijian, again.

This doesn't take much time.

Hopefully, the Lord of the Abyss won't welcome him with hostility this time.

Sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood. Shi Ming planned to ask the Nameless Cocoon to see if he could glean any information about the Great Black Dragon. The Nameless Cocoon had lived for countless lifetimes, and perhaps it possessed information about this Holy Temple-level sea beast deep within its memories. When combined with the information from the Eye of the Mortal World, it would be beneficial to his next move.

The more information you have, the higher your chances of success in exploiting the Sanctuary Sea Beasts.

After that, we sailed along the equator, rounded the great whirlpool of the old Indian territory, and arrived at the sea area where Mount Fuji is located.

After completing the mission, you can also take a stroll around the sea area guarded by Yu the Great.

Come here.

Let's see if there's a chance to read the mysterious stone tablet with its 33,000 characters.

……

But before that, he needs to complete the skill forging of the "Third Law" obtained from the formless pure ice, creating a zero-entropy weapon. Otherwise, this S-rank skill will be an empty shell, with its effectiveness greatly reduced.

The Third Law

Ranked 29th!
In physics, the key statement of the "Third Law of Thermodynamics" is that when the temperature approaches absolute zero, the entropy of any perfect crystal of pure matter will approach zero.

The skill [Third Law] will manifest the power of "absolute zero" through the existing zero-entropy crystal "Phaseless Pure Ice"!

The formless pure ice has now merged into Shi Ming's body, becoming the "original embryo" of this skill.

To use this skill more effectively, he also needs to forge the prototype into a sharp weapon—

Using his mental power, he imbued the formless pure ice with a "form," forging a weapon of absolute zero. This weapon could be continuously fused into his body and could be drawn out during battle as a terrifying trump card.

This is the essence of the S-rank skill, which is ranked 29th.

“Appearance” is particularly simple.

It's more like modeling.

With Shi Ming's mental strength, in less than an hour, the formless pure ice that had merged into his body transformed into a sword of similar length to the King Slayer, but with an appearance that better suited Shi Ming's aesthetic.

Its shape is crystal clear, like the clearest object in the world.

If you just look at it, you'll only think it's art.

But Shi Ming knew that its temperature was unimaginably low.

A truly deadly weapon.

No carbon-based organism could possibly confront this directly.

Only Shi Ming, having endured 120 seconds of life-or-death torment, could become immune to its temperature.

Next comes the most difficult part: naming the child.

Hmm... let's give this knife a name.

Shi Ming pondered for a long time.

This crystal-clear weapon, embodying the essence of the Third Law and approaching absolute zero, is like a chilling aura frozen for millennia.

How about we call it—

Cold weather!

After the Great Cold takes form, because of its extremely low temperature, it cannot remain in the outside world for long. It needs to be contained in a certain part of the body so that it can be easily pulled out at any time during battle.

Shi Ming thought for a moment and prepared to store it in his right arm so that he could use it faster and more naturally in battle. However, he found to his dismay that the sword could not be integrated into his right arm. The red markings on his right arm had already taken over this area, and any other energy could hardly gain a foothold here.

If convenience is a consideration, it could be stored at the waist.
Or the chest and abdomen?
But pulling a knife out of the chest... well, that doesn't quite fit the style.

Pulling the knife out of his abdomen... it's like an apology. Let's use the left hand!

In battle, you can "draw" the Great Cold with just a touch of your left and right hands and unleash a fierce attack!
Such a happy decision!
He planned to find a lucky sea monster of B rank or higher on the high seas to practice his sword skills and familiarize himself with the technique.

……

The Endless Sea Map could be used to its fullest potential in Shi Ming's hands. In less than thirty minutes, he found a suitable target for practice: a B-level sea beast with solid scales that looked like a giant crab.

Hey!
At this moment, it bared its teeth and claws, as if it had found its prey.

Very good, very energetic!
Shi Ming touched his left and right hands together, and with a thought, the Great Cold was drawn out from his left arm. In an instant, it seemed to dye the ocean a pure white. The crew members who were in the distance all felt an uncontrollable chill suddenly come over them.

Click.

Ice crystals appeared in the seawater without warning.

The crab-like sea creature paused for a moment, then turned and dived into the semi-frozen seawater to try to escape. But Shi Ming wouldn't give it a chance. He gripped the Great Cold Blade tightly in his right hand, and with a flash, Cang Mang slashed out from a distance!

Hey!
In an instant, a dazzling silver-white ribbon of snow appeared on the sea.

Like the Milky Way hanging in the sky.

It was as if a glacier had appeared in the azure sky. In the glacier, the seven-meter-long crab was instantly frozen into amorphous ice by the area directly touched by the cold air. Its vital signs disappeared instantly, and then it shattered into two pieces with sharpness.

Horror!
Shi Ming felt his mental energy being rapidly depleted.

Call ~
This weapon cannot exist in the outside world for more than 60 seconds a day. If one completely exhausts their mental energy, it can barely last for 120 seconds.

He withdrew the Great Cold, the zero-entropy weapon, and returned it to his body, no longer consuming his power.

The frozen areas of this Class B sea monster's corpse were no longer of any value. Its blood had undergone a transformation in the extreme cold, and even after it thawed, it no longer possessed any energy. Fortunately, its body was still quite large at seven meters long, and the blood in many places remained active.

Shi Ming examined the crab's wounds, assessing the power of the attack.

If the opportunity is right, such a strike should be able to inflict effective damage on the Holy Temple-level sea beast, the Great Black Dragon.

Shi Ming pondered.

According to the intelligence he had previously obtained from the Eye of Intelligence, the Great Black Dragon has nine heads, one of which is a reborn head. However, merely severing the reborn head is not enough to kill it; all nine heads must be severed simultaneously to completely annihilate this sacred sea beast.

This is difficult.

Shi Ming did not know how big the Great Black Dragon was.

If one were like the Lord of the Abyss, whose body could stretch for over a thousand meters, how difficult it would be to sever all nine of its heads in a single strike.

Fortunately, this mission only required me to extract a small amount of physical evolution skills while I was asleep to complete the request.

There is no need to fight against it.

……

……

……

Mount Fuji.

General-class drifting ship, Emperor Ren.

"Your Majesty, news has come from the lighthouse that we will set sail in seven days for our waters."

"..."

The elderly Emperor Renzong sat in his chair, as if he had lost all his strength.

In the past month, rumors about Mount Fujin have been circulating widely. Old rivals such as [Damin], [Luzon], and [Dongyu] are making moves, and [Dayu]'s Xirang Research Institute has even released news about the "Root of the Sea Rising Cherry Blossom." All the spearheads are aimed at Mount Fujin.

Without S-class Awakened Ones guarding the area, how could they possibly protect this sea?

Moreover, his prince, who had gone to hunt the White Dragon Whale with the [Decapitation Blade], was also dead. When he inquired with Quilt in Constantinople, the prince only said that Prince Wude had died at the hands of a suddenly appearing S-class sea monster, and that he was powerless to help.

Internal and external troubles.

Now, he has no other choice.
