Super Invincible Battleship
Chapter 569

Chapter 569: Chapter 261 Underground Magma_3 Chapter 569: Chapter 261 Underground Magma_3 Then Yan Fei looked up at the dome above and noticed traces where a hole had once existed. However, new rock and silt had filled the hole up. From the looks of the scene, it seemed like something had fallen from the sky, piercing through the dome above and landing right in this lava lake.

Yan Fei began to speculate that the black sphere could not possibly be a natural product of the lava. It most likely had fallen from the sky, then smashed through the surface to end up in this lake of lava. As to whether it was manmade, Yan Fei could not tell at all. Then, he began to observe the several pieces of black rock nearby, only to find out that they were indeed just rocks, floating in the lava.

Yan Fei jumped from the black sphere onto a nearby black rock and immediately felt the heat beneath his feet. It was so intense that, even though he could control his body to dissipate the heat, it was nearly unbearable.

From above, the commotion caused by Tripitaka grew louder, and the situation grew increasingly unfavorable for Yan Fei. Therefore, he leaped back towards the black sphere and retraced his steps onto it. He retrieved a fine steel shield from the Universal Space, placed it atop the black sphere, stood on the shield, and then, with his hands securing the black sphere, his spiritual power surged forth as he attempted to transfer the black sphere into the Universal Space.

He didn't know the origin of the black sphere or what material it was made from; it conducted no heat, so Yan Fei wanted to bring it back for research, hoping it might reveal some amazing functions and contribute to the development of his technology. Besides, this was the United States mainland–if he didn't take the sphere, Tripitaka would eventually find it abnormal, and it would end up in the hands of the Americans, possibly giving them a significant technological breakthrough. Yan Fei would definitely not assist the enemy by leaving it behind.

What Yan Fei didn't expect was that the portion of the black sphere underneath the lava was massive, and given its great density, the black sphere was incredibly heavy. As Yan Fei started to retrieve the black sphere, he felt his spiritual power gushing out, nearly depleting all his energy in an instant.

The massive consumption of spiritual power caused darkness to descend before Yan Fei's eyes, almost causing him to pass out. But knowing the critical moment he was in, he dared not lose consciousness. Forcing himself to endure, Yan Fei persisted through the difficult time, and finally, the colossal black sphere was stored in the Universal Space.

Without the black sphere, Yan Fei immediately fell towards the lava. Fortunately, his feet were still on the fine steel shield, which prevented him from truly falling into the lava. Suffering from substantial depletion of spiritual power, Yan Fei momentarily lost the ability to move. However, as the black sphere was secured, his spiritual power rapidly recovered, and he soon regained his mobility. With a leap, he landed on another piece of black rock nearby. The fine steel shield he had stood upon ignited, then melted in the scorching lava, vanishing from sight.

Watching the shield disappear left Yan Fei with a chill of terror. He was lucky to have regained his mobility at the final moment, or the consequences would have been unimaginable. The piece of black rock he now stood upon was also sizable, which is why it continued to float on the lava.

Yan Fei surveyed the terrain around him, then took out a drill bit, bore a hole in the black rock he was on, and inserted some high-powered explosive, lighting the fuse. Then, he took out another fine steel shield and tossed it far away, where it fell onto the surface of the lava. Immediately after, Yan Fei leaped onto the distant shield.

Just then, the high-powered explosive on the black rock behind him detonated prematurely, shattering the black rock into fragments. The explosion even caused a massive wave in the lava lake, pushing the fine steel shield under Yan Fei's feet forward more than ten meters towards his destination. Yan Fei then exerted force with his feet, jumping onto a somewhat smaller piece of black rock ahead.

In the searing environment where he was breathing in high-temperature gases, Yan Fei's back was covered in cold sweat. He had miscalculated earlier, not expecting the high-powered explosive to detonate ahead of time due to the extreme heat of the black rock. If his luck had been even slightly worse, he would have fallen into the lava during the explosion. By then, even if Yan Fei had the skills to reach the heavens, it would have been in vain.

Behind Yan Fei, the fragmentized black rock began to sink. Then it ignited, and the high temperature of the lava completely melted it, leaving no trace.

Yan Fei learned his lesson and, in the time that followed, he was extremely cautious, using the black rocks and fine steel shield as stepping stones, moving further away from the entrance he had come through. And as soon as he left a black rock, he would blow it up to ensure it disappeared into the lava, denying anyone following him the chance to use it for leverage.

Soon, in the entire lava lake, only the last piece of black rock remained with Yan Fei standing on it. However, this black rock was now over 800 meters away from the entrance. So even if Tripitaka caught up to this place, he could only helplessly watch Yan Fei from 800 meters away, unable to get close to him.

The temperature above the lava lake was extremely high. After his efforts, Yan Fei felt sweat pouring from his entire body, and he nearly fainted from dehydration. He immediately took out a large amount of water from the Universal Space, continuously replenishing his body's fluids to narrowly prevent death from dehydration. However, under the high temperature, his hair and beard were scorched by the heat of the lava. The makeup he wore coagulated from the heat and stuck to his face. Even his clothes were dry and clung to his body, giving him a somewhat horrifying look.

Yan Fei, with his preemptive actions and items from the Universal Space, actively manipulated the environment, creating a situation highly advantageous to himself, earning an unassailable position. With the terrain in his favor, Yan Fei no longer feared Tripitaka.

After this delay, only 5 minutes remained until 3 a.m. local time. That is to say, only five minutes were left until midnight at Misty Island's local time. If Yan Fei could endure these last 5 minutes, the Drone would regain its combat power. Then, he would be free as a bird in the sky, as fish in the vast ocean.
