Chapter 984 Strange Ship

They had pulled away as if they had recognized the danger that Lin Fan brought.

Lin Fan stopped for a second as he thought about whether to chase or not, but he still decided to chase after these metallic limbs in the end.

However, before he could take a step forward, the ground under him started shaking again.

The cracks that had formed in the ground became even larger, especially the one in the hole at the center of this area. It became wider and wider until it made the hole completely collapse in on itself.

The shaking didn't stop until a burst of dirt came from the hole.

There was a large thing that suddenly burst out from the hole, standing straight up where the hole had been before.

Once the dust settled, they saw that…it was another metallic arm just like the other ones.

The only difference was that this one was gigantic compared to the other ones.

This should be the main arm from whatever was attacking them.

However, when they looked closer, they found that this arm wasn't just a simple arm. It was a collection of multiple different arms coming together to create a giant metallic arm.

This giant metallic arm just stayed there without moving, but this time, it was Lin Fan's Ruler Realm guard's turn to fight.

When Lin Fan had been fighting the metallic arms earlier, this Ruler Realm guard had seen that he wasn't in any danger at all.

He had been taught absolute loyalty to the Lin Astral Family and he was smart enough to recognize that Lin Fan had something planned, so he hadn't interfered just now. After all, if Lin Fan wasn't in danger, his orders were to be obeyed since he was the heir of the Lin Astral Family.

But now that this giant arm had appeared, the guard couldn't let Lin Fan do what he wanted anymore.

He could sense danger coming from this giant arm, so he knew that it would be too dangerous for Lin Fan.

Lin Fan wasn't a fool, he could also sense the danger.

He knew that there was no point in putting himself in danger, so he had moved back outside of the cleared circle.

No one made a move as they watched the giant arm, but the giant arm also didn't make a move. It just stayed standing there, as if it was waiting for something.

Then all of a sudden, before anyone could react, the ground split apart again.

There were several holes that appeared in the ground and out of those holes, there were beams of light that flew out.

These beams of light flew straight up into the air before flying off in different directions. Then as they flew through the air, they suddenly started to curve and fly out in another direction.

The one thing that these beams of light shared in common was that…they all had the same target.

They were all aimed at the Ruler Realm guard.

Whoever controlled these beams of light could clearly tell that the Ruler Realm guard was the most powerful person, so they were aiming to take out the Ruler Realm guard first.

But that wasn't strange since the Ruler Realm guard had released his aura to draw the enemy's attention.

The Ruler Realm guard immediately released his domain and blocked those beams of light, but the beams of light were only meant to be a distraction. There was no real power behind those beams of light, they were just attacks that moved much faster than the attacks of the metallic arms.

With the domain being used to block the beams of light, the metallic arm went for the weak spot of the domain.

The power of the domain had been gathered to block the beams of light since the Ruler Realm guard didn't recognize the attacks that had been thrown at him. He couldn't even judge it with his spiritual sense, so he didn't dare relax at all.

So he had gathered all of the power to one side to block the beams of light.

This naturally meant that there was one side that was weaker.

That was what the giant metallic arm aimed for.

But what the enemy didn't know was that the domain of a Ruler Realm Expert was completely different from the domain of a World Realm Expert.

The domain of a World Realm Expert was just them controlling the laws inside of the domain with their power, so that they would be the one controlling a specific law in a space. They would be imposing their will on that space.

The domain of a Ruler Realm Expert was completely different.

They were still imposing their will on the space, but with the increased power that they had, it was as if their will was that space.

They could control everything in that space and do things instantly that World Realm Experts couldn't do.

Such as instantly controlling the flow of life energy.

So in an instant, the domain's concentration of power changed direction.

It went from blocking the side with the beams of light to the side with the metallic arm in an instant.

But to the surprise of the Ruler Realm Expert, he found that the metallic arm was able to keep even with his domain for a few seconds. It was only after a few seconds that the metallic arm was slapped back.

As the metallic arm was slapped back, the various arms that it was made of split up from it and stabbed out at the domain.

The Ruler Realm Expert was about to repel them, but then he suddenly pulled his hand back and jumped out of the way. That was because he had seen a strange energy around the metallic arms that had been about to stab at him.

This was a strange energy similar to the one that they had felt coming from this area before, but he could tell that it was strong enough to threaten him.

He didn't know what would happen if this strange energy made contact with his domain, so he didn't risk it by confronting it head on.

Seeing this, the Ruler Realm guard knew that it was impossible to take care of this metallic arm without putting in a bit of effort, so he summoned out his pet.

This was a bird that was covered in flames, but it wasn't a phoenix or a vermilion bird as one would expect. This was a crow that was completely golden in colour.

This crow released its flames and it surrounded the Ruler Realm guard, turning into a set of golden flame armour. Along with this armour, there was a golden flame halberd that was also formed.

The Ruler Realm guard immediately used his speed to go around the metallic arms in circles and from time to time, he swung out with flaming slashes. These flaming slashes cut right through the metallic arm, cutting off segments of the metallic arm.

The metallic arm tried to resist by breaking up and attacking from different angles, but it couldn't overcome the difference in speed.

It wasn't able to keep up with the Ruler Realm guard at all as the Ruler Realm guard went around it in circles.

Finally, after peeling away the layers of metallic arms around the center, the Ruler Realm guard was finally able to reach the very center of this large metallic arm.

At the very center was a large black mass.

When one looked at it closely, they would see that it was some kind of wire that had been covered with a plastic coating.

When this was revealed, the Ruler Realm guard found a target to attack.

He focused his life energy into a single swing that cut right through the mass of wires without any resistance. The slash had also been heated by the golden flames, so the parts that were cut were melted and fused together.

Once the mass of wires had been cut apart, all of the metallic arms in the surrounding area froze before drooping to the ground. They just laid there as if there was no life left in them at all.

It was as if they had lost whatever signal had been controlling them.

It seemed like this mass of wires was what had been connecting everything in these metallic arms.

After the metallic arms stopped, everyone watched and waited to see if anything else happened.

After nothing happened for five minutes, they finally came up to the remaining stub in the ground along with Lin Fan…Well, Lin Fan came over and they didn't want to leave Lin Fan unguarded, so they came up with him.

Looking at the stub, Lin Fan paused for a second before reaching down to grab it.

But before he could, all of the guards stood in his way to stop him.

Lin Fan saw this and then shook his head before saying with a sigh, "You can pull it out now."

The guards received this order and pulled at the stub in the ground.

Now that there was something to grab onto, it was easier to pull it out than to dig into the ground looking for it.

With these guards working together, it didn't take long before they were able to pull out the object that these metallic arms had been attached to.

As they pulled it out, the ground under them cracked apart and they had to fly into the air to avoid falling down.

When they pulled it out, they saw that they had pulled out a strange ship.
