The Ultimate Divine Class-Chapter 419 - 342 Chasing God, Nether Crow Mech Pilot! (Third update)_1

Chapter 419: Chapter 342 Chasing God, Nether Crow Mech Pilot! (Third update)_1

If it weren’t for Gugu Bird’s precise pointer, Lu Yuan might not have even noticed it.

It was quite conspicuous, but most of his attention was drawn away by the raging battle.

It was in a high location similar to a sacrificial platform deep within the Phoenix Blood Tribe.

A small oak tree about a meter high stood atop the platform.

Its roots were dense and infinite, covering the entire platform.

The small oak tree was lush with green leaves, and five thumb-sized acorns hung from its branches.

Three of them were green with traces of gold, one was half green half gold, and one had completely turned to pure gold.

In Lu Yuan’s perception, the five golden acorns on the oak tree seemed like five small "light bulbs."

They varied in brightness, each releasing large amounts of Evil God factor and energy aura.

The pure gold one couldn’t be described as a mere "light bulb"—it was more fitting to call it a "sun"!

The Evil God factor and energy fluctuations it alone emitted easily rivaled the other four combined, rendering them unmatched!

Lu Yuan also figured out that the objective of this unidentified organization’s expeditionary corps seemed to be aimed at this oak tree.

This oak tree was incredibly mysterious, especially the golden acorn at its top.

Even a blind person could see the extraordinary nature contained within it, dozens or even hundreds of times greater than that of ordinary Treasures.

Being worshipped by the Phoenix Bloodline, it was likely related to the Phoenix, and might even help humans unravel some of the mysteries of "Immortal."

No wonder none of the field attacks fell in the direction of the two Phoenix Blood Lineage Wizards who were controlling the Magma Giant. It wasn’t that they hadn’t realized the Magma Giant was controlled by the two wizards. Instead, the wizards’ position was very close to the altar, and they were afraid of damaging the mysterious oak tree on it...

Lu Yuan’s eyes glowed as he urged Gugu Bird.

"Alright, alright, I am very satisfied with this Treasure. Go and get it quickly. You still owe me one hundred more Treasures."

"COO!"

Lu Yuan frowned. "What? That counts as five Treasures? I think you have no sincere intention of cooperating... Never mind..."

Lu Yuan waved his hand impatiently. "Fine, five Treasures it is. Go get them, and you’ll owe me ninety-six more Treasures."

"COO!"

"You can only give me one of the five acorns? And I have to help you get it?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan scoffed and turned to leave immediately.

"I don’t want it anymore! Our cooperation ends here!"

"COO COO..."

"If I take action, all five *must* be mine! Besides, this action will count as me helping *you*, and you’ll have to compensate me additionally later..."

"COO!"

"If you don’t want to negotiate, then don’t. I’m leaving. Goodbye."

"COO COO!"

"At most, I’ll give you one green acorn. The pure gold one? No way! It’s not happening, even if you have a great use for it..."

Just as Lu Yuan was "haggling" with Gugu Bird, a sudden change occurred on the battleground below.

Lu Yuan saw a burly man with narrow eyes and chestnut-colored hair appear on the battlefield.

He was dressed in gray battle garments, silently passing the two Magma Giants blocking the valley and quickly heading towards the oak tree altar.

Many Phoenix Bloodline tribesmen detected his intention along the way and quickly swarmed to intercept him.

The chestnut-haired man’s expression remained unchanged as countless silver threads were released from his body.

These silver threads crisscrossed around him, directly slicing the Phoenix Bloodline tribesmen who tried to obstruct him into countless red fragments.

Even the dark figures that burst out from the ashes of the fallen, self-destructing, could not get close to him; they were all blown to smithereens by the silver threads more than ten meters away.

The chestnut-haired man strolled through the Phoenix Blood Tribe Clan as if leisurely walking in a garden. Wherever he passed, Phoenix Bloodline tribesmen fell like mown wheat.

He quickly arrived before a Phoenix Blood Lineage Wizard heavily guarded by many Phoenix Bloodline tribesmen. After swiftly dealing with the guards, the now blood-soaked silver threads around him converged into a spear and thrust out.

In an instant, a Phoenix Blood Lineage Wizard’s body, along with the red crystal in his hand, was impaled.

"BOOM!"

One of the Magma Giants on the battlefield immediately crumbled, collapsing like an imploding volcano, and the Phoenix Bloodline tribesmen cried out in anguish.

After accomplishing all this, the chestnut-haired man immediately set his sights on the other Phoenix Blood Lineage Wizard...

A decapitation strike! He’s a top expert from that mysterious organization!

Lu Yuan’s eyes remained fixed on the chestnut-haired man below. He then suddenly glanced at Gugu Bird on his shoulder.

Gugu Bird glanced back at him disdainfully, apparently still miffed about the recent haggling.

If these natives truly are Phoenix Bloodline, born in inheritance of the Phoenix, and are equivalent to Phoenix devotees, this Gugu Bird should feel somewhat sorrowful or angry seeing its devotees suffering such heavy casualties... But it doesn’t. That proves it might not be related to the Phoenix. Or perhaps, these natives below have no connection to the Phoenix...

These thoughts only swirled in Lu Yuan’s mind for a moment before he dismissed them.

Because there was no time for contemplation. If he didn’t act now, the chestnut-haired man was about to kill the second Phoenix Blood Lineage Wizard and then seize the mysterious oak tree and its acorns.

Lu Yuan stood atop a cliff in the mountain jungle, overlooking the entire battlefield in the Phoenix Blood Tribe Valley.

He closed his eyes, quickly reviewing the strength of every combatant on the battlefield in his mind.

Without the aid of an AI, he could only depend on his "Brain Divine Power" for analysis.

There’s nothing that poses a lethal threat to me, and the probability of severe injury is also slim...

"PHEW—"

Lu Yuan let out a soft breath and opened his eyes.

A brilliant light flickered within his pupils.

Fortune favors the bold! It’s worth... a shot!

"Cooperate with me! If we succeed, I get four, you get one... Let’s move!"

"COO!——"

Once Lu Yuan finished speaking, without waiting to see if Gugu Bird agreed, he leaped down from the peak like a great bird.

In midair, a torrential volume of dense Death Qi surged from his body, enveloping him completely.

Instantly, three pairs of enormous, black jade-like wings unfurled from his back.

His body was covered in a layer of armor resembling sculpted black crystal, magnificent and regal like that of an ancient sovereign.

A black crystal mask, adorned with Other Shore Flowers, covered Lu Yuan’s face, revealing only a pair of deep, dark eyes.

His long-dormant Death Teller (Extraordinary) professional panel activated.

He felt the Feather of the Hundred-Eyed Dark Crow, which seemed to have taken the place of his heart, throbbing vigorously within his chest.

Lu Yuan dived, murmuring to himself, "Today... I am the pilot of the Nether Crow Mecha!"

"Shine brilliantly in your final moments, you individual... Stars of Death Omens!"

With that, an immense amount of Death Qi condensed in his hands into a jet-black greatsword, seemingly forged from black crystal.

Short spears, also formed entirely from Death Qi, materialized silently around him...

...

"BOOM!"

A Sky-level Mecha, shaped like a bird of prey and dozens of meters long, spewed brilliant blue flames from its underside, quickly vanishing into a sky as red as burning clouds.

A moment later, a peculiar, invisible ripple spread out from high above.

"HUMMM—" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

This ripple, imperceptible to other senses, could be seen with the naked eye.

Because after the ripple spread, an elliptical patch of clear, cobalt-blue sky was slowly cleared amidst the burning cloud-like sky of Ash Mountain...

This spectacle was witnessed by many factions at the entrance to the Ash Mountain Secret Realm.

Many people wore complex expressions, tinged with helplessness.

"The ’Chasing God’ satellite of the Distant Star Federation has been successfully launched..."

At the Yellow Bear Base of Sum Country, several men and women of extraordinary bearing, squinting at the strange phenomenon in the sky, murmured, "With the anti-gravity devices non-functional, a new Sky-level Mecha needs to ascend as a replacement every three hours. The resources required to fully recharge one Sky-level Mecha are equivalent to nearly a year’s tax revenue for an entire province in the Old City Circle... Tsk tsk, what an extravagance. Is this gamble by the Distant Star Federation... worth it?"

"Perhaps not for just a single Phoenix Feather..."

Someone in their group spoke softly, "But according to intelligence from Ding Can, an unprecedented Forbidden Land has been discovered deep within the Fog Zone this time. And at the heart of this Forbidden Land, there appears to be a world-shaking Treasure—possibly a Phoenix Egg, or something even more mysterious and precious... The Distant Star Federation’s ’Chasing God’ was launched primarily for this. The Phoenix Feather is merely a bonus... They seem determined to obtain it."

"I see..."

The speaker nodded thoughtfully and then asked a woman beside him, "Have we contacted the person who obtained the Phoenix Feather?"

The woman shook her head. "He seems to have destroyed and discarded his communication device. However, we have contacted a few people who interacted with him before. Ling Yu witnessed the event and said he can provide us with detailed information..."

"Tell him not to come."

The speaker waved his hand. "Have him go directly to the coordinates Ding Can sent. Competing for the Phoenix Egg is our primary objective here. Even if we can’t obtain it, we absolutely cannot let others get it! As for the one who obtained the Phoenix Feather..."

The speaker paused, then said, "I heard he’s the current Modern Demon Knife? I had the list verified before I came, but I didn’t see the name ’Lu Yuan’. Perhaps he’s a covert operative hidden by our superiors, intended to be revealed during this contest for the Phoenix Egg, specifically using a Phoenix Feather to coordinate with our operation... According to the data, his Demon Blade combat power is fifth-tier, which is quite strong. He shouldn’t need our support. Destroying his communicator was probably his way of conveying that message, to draw some fire for us and make our actions easier..."

The speaker’s analysis was logical and well-reasoned, and his companions couldn’t help but nod in agreement.

After a brief discussion, they didn’t linger. They exited their headquarters inconspicuously, hurriedly vanishing into the primeval forest and rushing towards their predetermined destination.

...

「Meanwhile, at the Distant Star Federation headquarters.」

In a heavily guarded command post, a group of individuals sat around a large screen.

These individuals all exuded a powerful aura of authority, as if they were the leaders of various major organizations.

"CLICK—"

The large screen in the room switched on, displaying a holographic projection of a battle.

The footage showed Fly Shuttles, Mechas, and modified soldiers maneuvering everywhere, with beams of multicolored energy crisscrossing like a web.

They were slaughtering a small Phoenix Bloodline tribe located in a valley.

Soon, after suffering only single-digit casualties, the entire indigenous Phoenix Bloodline tribe was completely annihilated.

A man in a black combat suit, with no organizational insignia on his chest, stepped onto the bloodstained, ash-covered altar. He carefully picked up a gleaming Phoenix Feather that had been offered on the altar and quickly placed it into a specially made long box.

Seeing this, all the leaders in the room showed faint smiles of satisfaction.

"It seems everything is progressing smoothly..."

Someone in the room commented.
