Chapter 1202: Untethered Vessel

Li Qiye ignored the others and remounted the Archdevil Armored Shark before shouting: “Go!”

With that, the shark issued a roar and rushed for the Bottomless Trench before disappearing into its dark abyss.

“What does he want to do?” A while later, many people calmed down and began to murmur among themselves.

Ye Tu’s and Teng Jiwen’s minds returned as well. It was already too late when they thought about following him. In fact, the two of them couldn’t catch up to the shark’s speed anyway.

Ye Tu looked at Teng Jiwen and asked: “What is this about?”

Teng Jiwen replied by shaking his head: “I don’t know either. His actions aren’t something you and me can speculate. Maybe it has something to do with the Seacrossing Shuttle. We will have to wait until he returns to find out.”

Teng Jiwen had learned about the shark from an ancient scroll from his citadel. However, he didn’t truly understand the mysteries involved.

Li Qiye made the shark go to the deepest part of the trench. Its depth was truly of an unfathomable magnitude. Some even said that there was no bottom. Who knew where its base was located?

The shark cut through the trench's waves for a long time.

“Cras.h.!.+” Eventually, it slammed into a cliff and swiftly rushed inside. At this moment, splas.h.i.+ng sounds came about, as if the shark had just leaped out of the sea and into the sky.

It entered a different s.p.a.ce, a lonely s.p.a.ce without stars, a sun or a moon; only the coldness of the void existed here. Not even time was present, it was a land of eternal banishment.

In this chilling s.p.a.ce was a huge naval shuttle seemingly capable of freely crossing through the ocean.

It had an ancient bronze hue, as if it was cast from plain bronze. It had been in this icy void for so long that it was covered with patina and was near the point of rusting.

This gigantic shuttle had two doors to its left and right with many runes and totems on them. They were too archaic to be understood. Outside of the four doors, nothing else could be found. Alas, the s.h.i.+p wouldn’t be particularly eye-catching if placed anywhere else.

However, Li Qiye was attracted by this shuttle. His gaze tightly toured over it before murmuring: “Oh, my Untethered Vessel. How can the world know your worth? Only those who don’t understand your value would call you the ‘Seacrossing Shuttle’!”

People in the Heaven Spirit World had spotted this vessel before, and not on just one occasion. These people gave it the name Seacrossing Shuttle.

The name meant that it could be used to traverse through the bottomless trench, but no one knew if this was true or not. [1. Bottomless Trench’s raw is actually Bottomless Marine Trench, but I felt that the sea part was implied already, so its left out.]

However, Li Qiye knew of its real name, the Untethered Vessel! It concealed a great secret involving an ancient race from an unknown era.

Li Qiye told the armored shark: “Go on, pull it out. I will need it to open the portal.”

The shark swam before the shuttle. Its armor began to clank as universal laws emerged on them.

These universal laws came together to form two huge chains that coiled around the Untethered Vessel.

“Rumble—” The shark dragged the vessel outside. The sounds blaring from the slow process made it seem quite heavy. However, Li Qiye was not in a rush as he patiently waited. This was not the first time this had happened.

In the past, he had seen through the secret of the armored shark before. Whenever the Seacrossing Shuttle appeared in the Heaven Spirit World, it was Li Qiye forcing the shark to drag it out.

This was not a simple shark but a type of sealed creature. Because of this, it hid among the needlefish. Of course, the emergence of the shuttle required the shark. In this sense, the shark existed to pull the vessel.
