Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 306 Advancement! King-level Drifting Ship!

In the untouched waters, a seemingly ordinary drifting boat, about 100 meters long, rests peacefully on the surface.

This is indeed a period of great fortune.

Shi Ming did not participate in the social dinner. After giving the crew a day off, he sailed the Dayun alone away from the Tenglong Sea and arrived at an uninhabited sea area in the southeast corner. At this moment, the stars were shining brightly and the moon was reflected on the sea, quiet and beautiful.

Ascending to Kingship...

The status of the King-class drifting ships on the endless ocean is self-evident. The number of King-class drifting ships has been fixed since the beginning of the drifting era, and not a single one has ever been added, which makes their status extremely lofty.

Shi Ming sensed that the Great Yun Sheng King's actions might be quite significant, which is why he specifically chose a secluded sea area.

“Master, no living beings or devices are spying on us.”

"it is good."

On a whim, he took out the Saint-level flesh and blood that he had prepared long ago from the warehouse.

Pollution, life, destruction!
The flesh and blood of the Abyss Lord, the Pillar of Creation, and the Great Black Dragon floated on the control platform of the Great Cycle, radiating a powerful oppressive force—even though they had long since left their mother bodies, and were either alive, withered, or decaying, the power within them was still enough to make one's heart tremble!
A blue, meteorite-like object appeared at the same time.

This is a meteorite core found in the Scorpion King Pyramid. It can replace the "Star of Navigation" and is one of the necessary materials for upgrading a General-class ship to a King-class ship.

Immediately afterwards, twenty thousand "Pure Dome Crystals," as dazzling as a sea of ​​stars, refracted brilliant light under the moonlight and converged into a river above the Great Transport. There were so many of them that they floated on the ship under the control of mental power. From a distance, it looked as if the Milky Way was hanging upside down on the drifting ship, alluring and beautiful.

Everything is ready, the time has come!
Infinite Brain! Activate!
[The materials have been detected to meet the requirements for advancement. Advance now?]

Yes!
The River of Crystals, suspended low in the sky, melted instantly under the influence of the Infinite Brain, transforming into a dense gaseous state that wrapped around the Great Fortune like a rainbow. The meteorite core spun at an extremely high speed, shrinking smaller and smaller, adding a deep blue hue to the brilliant rainbow. Then, the three types of Holy Temple-level flesh and blood silently turned into fragments, merging into the River of Stars.

They are modifying this seemingly ordinary ship.

Call ~
Despite his mental strength being comparable to that of Ah Jian, who had lived for countless lifetimes, Shi Ming still felt a sense of detachment at this moment, as if his mind had been emptied and all his mental energy had been completely depleted.

His body twitched, and a vein bulged on his forehead.

The amount of mental energy required for a General-class ship to advance to the King-class is also enormous!

But it was all worth it!
Pure Crystal, Meteorite Core, Three Types of Sanctuary Flesh and Blood, Spiritual Power, Infinite Brain... Seven powers converge and merge with the Great Fortune, allowing this General-class drifting ship, Dinglan, to undergo an unimaginable sublimation on the Moonlit Sea.

……

……

……

The great fortune is enveloped in a "nebula" formed by pure crystals.

Suddenly, the sea was no longer calm, and the moonlight became hazy. The shape of the Great Journey underwent a dramatic change. Its hull was lengthening, and its lines became more magnificent and powerful. On its originally simple outer shell, silver patterns like starlight began to appear, just like the trajectory of stars!
The deck itself has a sense of grandeur!

The curved edges gleamed with a cold light, while the prow resembled a giant dragon awakening, coming to life from its slumber, its majesty sweeping across all directions.

An unimaginable force emanated from the ship, causing the surrounding nebula to collapse inward and pour into the great fortune. An invisible power spread out and erupted from the core of the ship, bringing an unimaginable storm.

Whoops!

The sea surged skyward, and torrential rain poured down under the moonlight, but the transformative great fortune at the eye of the storm remained completely unaffected, like a stabilizing ship!
The heavy rain has stopped.

The inconspicuous drifting boats on the sea have long since disappeared, replaced by a colossal vessel whose entire body is adorned with the galaxy and starlight.

Its hull has expanded to 800 meters in length! Yet it is even more majestic and profound than a typical king-class ship. The Milky Way pattern pulsates faintly on the hull. Most surprisingly, the entire ship does not rely on the sea surface and quietly floats in the air several meters above the sea.

Eight words involuntarily came to Shi Ming's mind.

Rule the seas and hunt the stars!
King-class drifting ship, the Great Yun!

As the tide recedes and moonlight spills down, it drapes the newly born ship of kings in a veil of glory.

Shi Ming took a deep breath and rubbed his head, which was slightly uncomfortable due to excessive exertion. New information from the Infinite Brain flashed before his eyes, and at this moment, he understood the information about this newly promoted King-class ship even more.

【King-class drifting ship - Grand Canal】

[Number: 23333]

As the handwriting flickered, the number 23333, which preceded the Great Fortune, faded away, becoming stardust.

Then it coalesced into new numbers:
[Number: King-008]

[General, you have finally been crowned king!]

A brand new legend unfolds in a hidden corner of the endless ocean, witnessed by the sea and stars. Besides possessing everything a King-class drifting ship should have, all three of its "General Traits" have been upgraded to "King Traits"! Even the No. 001 King-class drifting ship only has two King Traits!

【The King Arrives】

[The King's Trait Upon Advancing from "Crown Prince": The Grand Transport is 100% immune to all other King-class drifting ship traits. Furthermore, it can directly suppress drifting ships of the General class and below, instantly disabling all drifting ship functions except for navigation and floating, and forcing all equipment on the ship to shut down! This is the King's aura!]

The King's Judgment

[The King's Trait Advancement from "Breaking Through": The power of 20000 pure celestial crystals reappears, transforming into an indestructible king's greatsword, delivering a powerful judgment upon its target! This is the King's Judgment!]

King of Kings

[The King Trait gained from advancing from "General of a Hundred": Regardless of the presence or permission of other King-class drifting ships, the Grand Transport can randomly clone or borrow a King Trait once from King-class drifting ships 001-007, with the power remaining unchanged! This is the privilege of a King!]

Shi Ming blinked.

wonderful!
Three Kings traits!
The last one also allows them to choose between cloning or being seconded!

Cloning is copying, borrowing is taking! That's too domineering! Combined with some strange maneuvers, Shi Ming can completely "borrow" the right power at the right time!

This is not over yet.

The promotion from General to King involves many improvements to basic functions and details, making it a relatively lengthy process.

For example, this ship has been transformed into an 800-meter-long King-class drifting ship, with the addition of "Hovering", "Sea Patrol Wave", "Sea Suppression Cannon", "Derivative Sub-ships"... as well as all kinds of powerful equipment, and its defensive and offensive capabilities have all been upgraded to the King-class standard!

And so on, and so on and so forth.

The article was longer than ever before, but Shi Ming read it very quickly.

The final message is even more important.

Further advancement of the King-class drifting ship—

Theoretically speaking, the King-level drifting ship is the highest peak, and it cannot be upgraded or advanced further. However, Shi Ming's Infinite Brain can undoubtedly create another miracle of breaking through the boundary!

Let this ship surpass the King class!

Unlimited upgrades!

As the words flickered, the materials needed for the infinite upgrade appeared before Shi Ming's eyes.

[Required for unlimited upgrades:]

[1. Choose one of the following three wondrous items: Star Core, Unending Water, or Net.]

[2. 1000 kg each of the flesh and blood of five to seven different types of Holy Temple-level sea beasts. The more types, the better the effect of the limit breakthrough.]

[3. Complete brain region of a Nirvana-level life form.]

At this point, the writing disappeared.

The ability to upgrade indefinitely was something Shi Ming had expected.

The resources required for the infinite upgrade were extremely scarce, which was within Shi Ming's expectations. After all, the materials needed for the Infinite Brain's "limit break" have always been extraordinary, not to mention breaking through a World King-level drifting ship. If it were too easy, Shi Ming would feel it lacked prestige!

It's difficult, really difficult.
But he was never afraid of difficulties.

Choose one of three wondrous objects: the Star Core, the Unending Water, and the Net. These are ranked first, second, and third on the list of wondrous objects, respectively. One seems to be the core of a planet, another seems to be the culprit that brought about the era of endless ocean drifting, and the third is suspected to be related to the Skynet.

Rare items will always be found, and there's plenty of room for choosing one out of three.

Five to seven types of Saint-level sea beast flesh are not out of reach. For example, Shi Ming has already obtained the flesh of three types of Saint-level sea beasts before even reaching the Saint-level.

For Shi Ming, the only troublesome thing might be the last item.

"Nirvana level... also requires its complete brain region."

He noted these down for future consideration.

It's time for the captain's pilgrimage... This feeling is like in my past life, driving my newly acquired Rolls-Royce Phantom across a deserted wilderness.

There is nothing more exhilarating than this.
