Ling Cage: I am a spiritual master, devouring source matter to become a god.

“Time waits for no one!” Jing Yuan explained, “Bai Yuekui said that the Mana ecosystem is constantly evolving, so we have to speed things up. If the Soul Extinction Tower doesn’t work, then we’ll have to think of other methods.”

"Are there any other methods?"

"Hmm." Jing Yuan nodded. "But we don't want to use that method until the very last minute."

Jingnan said, "Your journey to the Hela Empire is long and arduous, so please be careful!"

“Okay!” Jingyuan looked at Jingnan. “The lighthouse is now in your hands.”

Jingnan chuckled helplessly, "You and Mark really like to be hands-off managers!"

"Well, the capable should do more! Thank you for your hard work!"

……

In the early morning, sunlight shone through the thick clouds onto the lighthouse.

Bai Yuekui's Swift spaceship hovered next to the lighthouse.

Jingyuan directed the team behind him to enter the spaceship, and then bid farewell to Mark, Jingnan, Bai Yuekui and others who came to see him off.

This spaceship was lent to Jing Yuan by Bai Yuekui.

Although Jingyuan and Bai Yuekui had a fight, they didn't really fall out.

After all, the goal of hiring engineering ships to build the Soul-Destroying Tower is to eliminate the Mana ecosystem.

Jingyuan took the initiative to borrow the spaceship from Bai Yuekui.

Bai Yuekui wasn't that stingy; he readily lent the spaceship to Jing Yuan.

Bai Yuekui not only lent out his spaceship, but also two people: Tasia and Mu Qing.

Both are engineers with a background in mechanical engineering.

Jing Yuan brought three hunters: Penny, Chu Feng, and Ling Ge, while the rest were engineers from the research department.

The Swift has limited capacity, especially for long-distance flights, and cannot be overloaded.

Therefore, most of the people Jingyuan led were engineers.

Jingyuan was the last to enter the spaceship, and Tasia closed the hatch.

The spaceship was piloted by Tasia, who also held control of it.

Jing Yuan knew that this was a trick Bai Yuekui had kept hidden, but Jing Yuan didn't care. He was happy to have some peace and quiet.

Through the spaceship's porthole, Jingyuan saw the spaceship gradually moving away.

According to them, Swift is a spaceship with spaceflight capabilities.

It takes at most an hour to get to the Hela Empire.

As the Swift began to climb, Jingyuan saw the outline of the Earth through the porthole.

Earth was originally a beautiful planet with blue, green, and white colors.

Today, the sea is no longer blue, the forests have disappeared and turned into deserts, and even the clouds have turned gray.

There are still large patches of red on the ground, which are areas that have been severely polluted by the ecosystem.

After entering high altitude, the Swift began to accelerate and head towards the ruins of the Hela Empire.

The outbreak of the ground vines triggered intense geological activity.

Longgu Village is located on the Austroasiatic New World, a new continent formed after geological movements.

Meanwhile, the Hela Empire has also formed a beautiful new continent.

In just a few decades, the world has undergone tremendous changes.

The entire eastern coast of the former Hela Empire sank into the sea, forming a new ocean. The western coast, however, became a plateau.

In those days, the industrial areas of the Hela Empire were mainly concentrated on the east and west coasts.

Now that the east coast has become underwater, the only place Jingyuan and his group can go is the plateau on the west coast.

"We're about to reach the magnificent new world!"

Looking out the porthole, all that could be seen was a desolate desert.

Tasia asked, "Jingyuan, which coordinates should we go to first?"

"Let's go to anti-gravity device marker number one first!"

"it is good!"

When the lighthouse explored the beautiful new world, it found a well-preserved engineering vessel, but also several anti-gravity devices!

Over the years, Jingnan cannot guarantee that all these anti-gravity devices will remain intact, so the devices are numbered in descending order of their probability of being intact.

Marker point number one is the one that Jingnan believes is most likely to be intact, so we'll start with number one.

Suddenly, an alarm sounded in the cabin of the Swift.

"what happened?"

"There's a reaction from a Devouring Beast!"

Chapter 214 Another Encounter with a King-Level Figure

Jingyuan quickly looked over, but there was nothing on the dashboard! There was only an alarm signal.

"where is it?"

Tasia looked at the data panel. "It's at the anti-gravity device marker number one that we're going to."

"What a coincidence?" Jingyuan asked again, "How many?"

"It seems... there's only one!"

"One? What level?"

Tasia looked at Jing Yuan and said helplessly, "Boss Bai's spaceship only alerts King-level Devouring Beasts!"

Jing Yuan was taken aback. "You mean? There's a king-level creature that happens to be at the coordinates we're heading to?"

Tasia nodded, and then she immediately maneuvered the spaceship into a hovering state.

"What a coincidence?" Jingyuan still found it somewhat unbelievable.

King-level beasts were so rare before! It hasn't been long since we encountered one king-level beast, and now we've encountered another one.

Should we move to the next marked location?

Jingyuan thought for a moment and said, "Let me think about it."

"Jingyuan, let's go to the next marker! After all, this is a King-level Devouring Beast, and we don't have any electromagnetic cannons right now!" Penny started to persuade Jingyuan, afraid that he would rush up to fight the King-level Devouring Beast.

Jing Yuan has a record of killing king-level beings, but those were all achieved with the assistance of the electromagnetic cannon in the center of the lighthouse.

Penny's concerns are understandable.

However, after Jing Yuan killed that flying monarch-level creature and absorbed its life essence, his strength has increased to another level. Therefore, he is still confident even when facing a monarch-level creature.

"It's alright. You all stay where you are, I'll go check on this King-level Devouring Beast!"

After Jingyuan finished speaking, he unbuckled his seatbelt and prepared to get out.

“I’ll go with you!” Penny unbuckled her seatbelt. Since she couldn’t persuade him otherwise, she had no choice but to go with him.

"No need! At my current flying speed, escaping won't be a problem."

Penny was speechless for a moment. Jingyuan wouldn't let her follow, it seemed he wanted to fight the Devouring Beast.

Jingyuan opened the hatch of the Swift and used his telekinesis to bring the surfboard to his feet. At the same time, two weapons flew over.

In addition to the giant fang-shaped battle blade, Jing Yuan now possesses another crescent-shaped weapon.

This is a weapon Jing Yuan commissioned Belenkov to forge using the bones of a King-level Devouring Beast—the Crescent Blade. It has only a blade and no hilt. There are nine of them in total. When used with the Fang Battle Blade, it can be used to perform the "Nine Rivers Blade Technique," or it can be used alone.

Jingyuan stepped off the Swift on his surfboard and quickly moved toward the coordinates.

After flying for a few minutes, Jingyuan spotted a damaged spaceship in the yellow desert.

He looked around and saw only the spaceship, not the Devouring Beast.

The damaged spaceship was enormous, with its hull broken in two, and its length was a full kilometer.

At the center of the ship is the anti-gravity device, a huge spherical generator.

Upon seeing this anti-gravity device, Jingyuan finally understood why the lighthouse couldn't take it with it back then.

This device is too big.

The lighthouse was already nearing its limit with so many stilt houses hanging from it; the lighthouse's anti-gravity system alone couldn't move the load.

The spaceship was damaged and had no power supply, so the device itself could not fly!

Jing Yuan remained in the air observing, because the Swift had detected the signal of the Devouring Beast, so he dared not be careless.

Jing Yuan released his mental energy, which, with its current strength, easily covered the entire damaged spaceship.

Suddenly, he noticed that space was warping around the anti-gravity device!

"Is this device activated?"
