Super Invincible Battleship
Chapter 567

Chapter 567: Chapter 261: Underground Lava Chapter 567: Chapter 261: Underground Lava Upon realizing he was trapped, Yan Fei didn't hesitate to detonate a hugely powerful bomb to halt Tripitaka's pursuit. However, Yan Fei didn't resort to a mutual destruction tactic as Tripitaka might have assumed; he did it with absolute certainty of his own survival.

As the bomb exploded, Yan Fei quickly pulled out a sturdy steel bucket from the Universal Space and covered himself with it as protection. Then, the massive explosion occurred, collapsing all of the nearby tunnels.

Because of the protection from the steel bucket, Yan Fei inside didn't suffer any direct harm from the collapse. The steel bucket was specifically prepared by Yan Fei for emergencies, mainly for fire and explosion protection, and now it finally served its purpose by offering him unique protection. Although the force of the collapsing tunnels didn't directly impact Yan Fei, it was transmitted through the steel bucket, causing him some injury.

Compared to Tripitaka, who was directly crushed under the rubble, the injuries Yan Fei sustained were negligible. Once Yan Fei caught his breath, he took an oxygen tank out of the Universal Space and began to breathe from it. Then, he pulled out the black sphere and started to extract the Mysterious Energy within it to heal his bodily injuries.

It was because of the various resources stored in the Universal Space that Yan Fei dared to use such a dangerous tactic. With the protection of the steel bucket, even if he was trapped under the rubble, he could survive for a long time using these resources. As soon as the Drone data refresh, utilizing the underground traversal ability of the Drone, Yan Fei would be able to escape.

As for using the bomb's explosion to eliminate Tripitaka, Yan Fei didn't even entertain the thought, let alone have any hope of it. Previously in the Middle East, Yan Fei continuously attacked the leader of the Assassin Sect with armor-piercing rounds from the Drone, while Duan Hongye restrained him, yet they still didn't kill him, and he managed to escape. From this perspective, Yan Fei was very aware of the tenacity of God-Level Experts' lives. So even if Tripitaka was buried under the rubble, he could easily escape unscathed with his Strength, without being outsmarted by Yan Fei.

Yan Fei had already understood the mysteries of the Divine Realm and was very close to it, but he wasn't a God-Level Expert yet, unable to wield external Mysterious Power with Spiritual Power. Therefore, relying solely on his own Strength, Yan Fei was far from being a match for Tripitaka, who could harness external Mysterious Energy.

Even though Yan Fei was strong and could contend with an attack from a God-Level Expert with all his might, he lacked the endurance for prolonged combat that God-Level Experts had. Therefore, once entangled by a God-Level Expert, Yan Fei was bound to be defeated. The gap between Yan Fei and Tripitaka was small, but it was the boundary between humans and gods. Without overcoming this boundary, he would never be a match for God-Level Experts. This is why, from ancient times to the present, there have been numerous Experts at the Innate Realm Peak, but only a handful of God-Level Experts.

Yan Fei stayed hidden beneath the steel bucket, carefully listening to the noises from outside. After the explosion caused the tunnels to collapse, aside from the occasional falling rocks and sand, there were no other sounds. However, as time went by, Yan Fei heard someone moving rocks and sand rapidly, coming closer and closer to him.

Yan Fei was shocked and listened intently, realizing that the noise was coming from the direction Tripitaka was following. Clearly, the person excavating the passage had to be Tripitaka, but why was he digging? Did Tripitaka think that someone could have survived under such a heavy pile of rocks and wanted to dig a tunnel to capture him?

While Yan Fei was puzzled, he noticed that the sound of Tripitaka digging was getting closer. He couldn't help but marvel at the strength of a God-Level Expert, who, after such a massive explosion, was not only alive but also capable of digging such a long tunnel.

Yan Fei shook the steel bucket above his head and found it immovable. There must be a very heavy object on top of the bucket, so he couldn't lift the steel bucket to get out. After a moment of hesitation, he decided to change the situation; he needed to get back to the surface.

Outside, Tripitaka was moving stones and sand. No matter how slow he was digging, he would eventually get inside. If Yan Fei continued to stay hidden, he would definitely be discovered by Tripitaka and become ensnared in his own trap. Yan Fei decided to come out and confront Tripitaka in a life-and-death struggle.

Yan Fei placed his hand on the steel bucket, and with a thought, the sturdy steel bucket was stored into the Universal Space. As the bucket protecting Yan Fei disappeared, a huge rock and a mound of sand that had been on top fell down, crushing towards him. Prepared, Yan Fei touched the rock, and before it could land on him, he stored it in the Universal Space. The falling sand, however, covered him, leaving him disheveled and in a sorry state.
