Chapter 584 - 346: Sixth Evolution

The Emerald Spaceship was a lower-class vessel than the Magic Cube, and it was damaged. Its speed was no match for the Magic Cube’s.

But it was still faster than a Legendary Powerhouse could fly.

Having this ship would greatly improve the mobility of Chen Suifeng and the others.

Regardless of whether the Alien Party attacked the Great Desert Kingdom or the Dongli Kingdom tomorrow, they would be able to respond in time.

Chen Suifeng said gravely, "Tomorrow, we have to prepare for the worst. We must account for every possible force the Alien Party might deploy.

"We currently know that Jiang Pingle has already requested aid from the Flame Emperor Continent and the Snowfield Continent. It’s very likely these two continents will send support in the form of divine-level artifacts or Legendary Powerhouses—or possibly both."

Su Ze added, "There’s one more person we have to be wary of: the Pope of the Evolution Divine Teachings."

Mr. Ke sent a telepathic message, "The chances of the Pope making a move are slim. His true self hasn’t been seen in years. He might be trapped in some special state."

"That would be for the best," Su Ze said. "I destroyed one of his Legendary-level doppelgängers before. It should be difficult for him to cultivate a second one."

Chen Suifeng said worriedly, "But even so, we’re still seriously lacking in high-end Legendary-level combat power."

He was being diplomatic. It wasn’t that they were "lacking"; they had almost none.

Mr. Ke was a Legendary Powerhouse, but his body was old and frail.

Su Ze possessed Legendary Combat Power, but his evolution level was still only Venerable. Furthermore, he couldn’t join the battle right away tomorrow, as he needed to go to the Lin Hua National Treasury to search for upgrade materials.

Pulamon was a Legendary Powerhouse, but he had to maintain his identity as the second-in-command of the Filth Earth Organization. He would be protecting the Ancient An Country tomorrow, so he couldn’t come to help them either.

Su Ze said, "Tomorrow, as soon as I’m done raiding the Lin Hua National Treasury, I’ll rush to the battle. I have the Magic Cube, so getting there will be the blink of an eye.

"Also, I’ll hide in the skies above Baihua City tonight and monitor their every move to see if any powerhouses from the Snowfield Continent or Flame Emperor Continent arrive as reinforcements.

"If there are no other reinforcements, their strength isn’t all that much. They only have two Legendaries: Deng Sui and Jiang Pingle.

"If I find the right upgrade materials tomorrow, I can immediately undergo my sixth evolution. Once I become a Legendary, I wouldn’t be afraid to take on even a Legendary wielding a divine-level artifact."

Su Ze was extremely confident in his own strength. If he could complete his sixth evolution, absorb the Divine Blood Crystal, and obtain the "Meteor Impact" skill, he believed his power would take another quantum leap.

At that point, even if he couldn’t defeat Jiang Pingle and the others with their divine-level artifacts, he should at least be able to hold his own.

"No. You cannot make a move tomorrow," Mr. Ke said suddenly, his tone serious.

"Why?" Su Ze was confused.

"After you become a Legendary, you must go and accept the inheritance as soon as possible. That is what’s most important.

"Before that, even if you’re confident you can defeat Jiang Pingle and the others, don’t act rashly and expose your true strength.

"After you’ve accepted the inheritance and are ready to leave Blue Star, you can try to kill Jiang Pingle and his group. But you must leave immediately after you succeed."

Su Ze understood Mr. Ke’s meaning.

If, after becoming a Legendary, he displayed strength great enough to threaten a Nian Race Legendary who wielded a divine-level artifact, the Nian Race would naturally become wary of him and start plotting to deal with him.

What does a sheepdog do when it finds a sheep in the flock that it can’t handle?

It might ask its master for help.

If Su Ze killed a Legendary Powerhouse wielding a divine-level artifact using only his own strength, some Nian Race members would definitely use the Divine Dice to contact the Nian Race’s Mother Star and have people sent to capture him.

This was something Su Ze couldn’t prevent. There were three Divine Dice on Blue Star, and who knew how many Nian Race members were hiding in human skin across the three major continents.

It was impossible for him to kill every Nian Race member on Blue Star in a short amount of time. He couldn’t even manage to seal off the three Divine Dice locations.

Once the Nian Race called for aid from their mother star, the powerhouses sent from the Nian Race’s Mother Star would be far beyond what Su Ze could handle.

Therefore, the moment Su Ze made a move and revealed strength that could threaten a Nian Race Legendary, he had to be prepared to leave Blue Star as quickly as possible.

It would take time for Nian Race powerhouses to travel from their mother star to Blue Star. At its slowest, it could take one or two years. At its fastest, they could arrive in an instant.

According to what Mu Wang had said, the Nian Race was unlikely to dispatch powerhouses above the Sun God level, so they probably wouldn’t arrive in an instant.

If they used a Sun God-level Spaceship, however, they could arrive in just one or two days.

So, Su Ze couldn’t afford to get complacent. The moment he confirmed the Nian Race had called for reinforcements from their mother star, he would have to leave Blue Star within one or two days.

Of course, if the strength he displayed remained within the normal range for a Legendary and didn’t pose a threat to the Nian Race, Jiang Pingle and the others might even prioritize cultivating him to become a god.

Su Ze hesitated. "Then tomorrow..."

"I will join the battle tomorrow," Mr. Ke said.

Chen Suifeng’s expression changed. "But, your body..."

"I’ll die sooner or later anyway. I’ve lived long enough. My time is almost up, and I don’t want to die in a wheelchair." Mr. Ke’s tone was calm, but both Su Ze and Chen Suifeng could hear the unwavering resolve within it.

...

After bidding farewell to Mr. Ke and Chen Suifeng, Su Ze and Mr. Ya boarded the Magic Cube. The ship instantly arrived in the skies above Baihua City.

Su Ze looked down at the Alien Party’s headquarters below. Using the Magic Cube’s detection functions, he got a clear picture of the situation.

The two Legendary Powerhouses, Deng Sui and Jiang Pingle, as well as a group of Venerable Powerhouses, were all gathered below.

Around dusk, two more Legendary Powerhouses approached, and both Deng Sui and Jiang Pingle went out to greet them.

The two who arrived were none other than the rulers of the Snowfield Continent and the Flame Emperor Continent: the golden-haired beauty, Marina, and Zhan Meisen, an effeminate black man.
