Chapter 983.2: Fuxi and Fuxi (1/2)

……

“What? The Dao Academy is recalling the lord-grade fortress ships?!” The news quickly spread throughout the world of immortals and lower realms, shocking everyone who heard it.

Since becoming a public enemy after its cleansing, many factions such as the Qingfu Nation and others had banded together and set their sights on the Dao Academy. But now that it announced it was recalling the fortress ships, everyone floundered with panic.

Lord-grade fortress ships were the prized possessions of all major factions. Perhaps experts who’d broken through to the divine dharma realm had no need of them, but they were crucial weapons to dao immortals and everyone below that cultivation level. They’d become insurance and trump cards particularly in the lower realms.

If it wasn’t for the five thousand ships in Harshcloud Realm, everything in that realm would’ve been exterminated the moment the dead spirits broke out in their crazed offensive.

The Dao Academy wants to recall the fortress ships?

Though they’d all purchased ships from the academy, the factions were equally concerned of any potential countermeasures buried within their ships that made it possible for the academy to reclaim the vessels at any time.

What came next enabled them to breathe with ease again.

“The lord-grade fortress ships are unable to effectively fight the dead spirits. Thus, Headmaster Lu Yun has invented a brand new, constellation class fortress ship. These can sail through space and face the dead spirits head-on. Each lord grade can be traded in for a constellation class ship!”

Many factions immediately visited the Dao Academy to trade in their old ships for the new constellation class. Many improvements could be seen all over the new fortress ships, the most notable of which was that there were no longer any crystal cannons mounted on them. Instead, a brand new treasure was in their place, one that could release combat arts.

Of the combat arts that could be deployed, the sound combat art so effective against dead spirits was one of them. The treasure that could purify malice was also standard issue on the constellation class ships.

Apart from that, the heart of the new ships was an enormous furnace. Immortal crystals could be combusted to provide propulsion for the ship and power for the treasures and formations onboard. Compared to directly burning immortal crystals, it was more efficient and effective to burn them through the furnace.

Since there were no crystal cannons on the new ships, they were also stripped off of the lord grade ones before being traded in. The factions wanted to retain their cannons and make it an equitable trade.

Lu Yun didn’t mind that; crystal cannons were about to be made obsolete anyway. In his eyes, they were simply too wasteful. One blast consumed a hundred million immortal crystals! Compared to that, weapons that absorbed the energy of the world and released it straight into the dead spirits were much more useful.

It was only at this moment did he suddenly understand that the ancients had invented the original weapons of war to battle the dead spirits!

……

Constellation class fortress ships quickly appeared in the lower realms and turned the tide against the dead spirits. Each ship was five kilometers long, four kilometers tall, and two and a half kilometers wide. Installed in the center was a treasure that Lu Yun named “Enigma Tower”, one that could cleanse malicious resentment for fifty kilometers around.
