A Night of Desperation-Chapter 255: Future 253

Snowflakes scattered.

Yu Hong stood quietly in his spot, melting the surrounding area of over ten meters into water with the heat he emitted.

Over ten minutes later, he slowly moved his body, the flames on his body disappeared, and the cloud patterns dissipated.

It seemed as if nothing had happened.

But that was just on the surface, in reality, he knew he had changed.

The Condensing Water Technique had purified the red-valued Black River water around him, accelerating the transformation of his Inner Qi by more than ten times.

This meant that as long as his body could handle it, his Inner Qi would be endless, and as long as the output of Inner Qi didn’t exceed ten times that of before, he could have infinite Inner Qi at his disposal.

‘Previously, the divinity almost completely negated my Inner Qi, forcing me to retreat. This time… my Inner Qi has massively increased, and I almost can’t use it up… Agrius… this time I want to see if I can deal with you!’

Yu Hong felt extremely relaxed now.

He was eager to face off against that big lizard. After changing his thoughts, he realized that the root cause of his misery was that he had been too kind-hearted before, so from now on, he decided to make them adapt to him, instead of him adapting to them.

The control of the Black Ship was on that big lizard. Once he gained control, maybe the encroachment on the camp by the wooden bridge would be easily resolved. He could also control the Heavenly River and obtain his first summon.

‘Another thing… The Heavenly River is formed by injecting Inner Qi, and now, I can continuously pour my Inner Qi into it, making it grow ever stronger!’

Feeling refreshed, Yu Hong immediately began to inject the excess Inner Qi into his own portable Heavenly River.

The amount of Inner Qi his body could hold was limited, but the transformation was endless. Thus, the excess Inner Qi could continuously be poured into the Heavenly River, enlarging its volume.

Now the Heavenly River could only accommodate one summon, but after growing more, two, three, four… having more wasn’t a problem.

Pfft.

Yu Hong, with surging spirits, quickly walked to the back of the cave and lit up the wooden bridge with an atomic lamp.

He confidently walked onto the wooden bridge, and with a wave of his hand, the Black River water around him soared into the air and condensed into cloud vapors, circling and flying around him.

He jumped onto the Black Ship, letting the ship carry him towards Prison Island.

After his breakthrough in strength, he couldn’t wait to personally experience Agrius’s divine attacks.

Soon, Prison Island came into view.

The gray and white rocky ground was still peaceful and tranquil.

A mist spread around, and the surroundings were cold.

Yu Hong took a deep breath, dropped an atomic lamp on the ground as a marker, and then moved forward with another lamp.

Before long, he arrived once again in front of the endless walls.

This time, he grabbed onto the wall and climbed rapidly upwards, passing by the windows without stopping, going straight up, accelerating.

Ao!

Suddenly, a shadow swooped down from above, slamming crazily towards him.

Shua!

The shadow flashed past Yu Hong, rushing out a great distance.

“Come on!” Yu Hong let go, dropping to the ground in free fall.

He had just landed when a rapid surge of white silk threads shot out behind him, weaving into a four-meter-tall half-body figure.

Black water rings wrapped around its arms, and it suddenly raised an arm, throwing a punch at Agrius.

At the same time, Agrius didn’t hesitate, landed, turned, and charged towards him.

With a swipe of its claw aimed at Yu Hong.

Boom!!

The two arms, one large and one small, collided head-on. Before their fists even made direct contact, golden sparks and pure white airflow compressed against each other, making contact, and collided first.

High-density Inner Qi and golden currents fiercely consumed each other.

But this time, Yu Hong wasn’t penetrated. Though a unit of golden current could negate more than twice his Inner Qi,

It didn’t matter.

What he had plenty of now was Inner Qi!

‘Heavenly River!’ With a thought from Yu Hong, a semi-transparent river of Inner Qi, like a ribbon, shot out from behind him, tightly entangling Agrius.

He seized the opportunity to throw another punch with his other hand.

Boom!

Agrius was bound by the Heavenly River for a moment, then got hit directly in the face.

A huge amount of white Inner Qi struck its left side of the head, exploding like a cloud of white vapor.

But the force of the white Inner Qi that was supposed to explode was instantly weakened to one-tenth.

The huge impact was also reduced to one-tenth, hitting the dragon lizard.

Thud!

Agrius was violently shaken and was about to counterattack with a tail whip.

But it didn’t expect that the punch wasn’t over.

Inner Qi from Yu Hong’s hand continuously exploded, crazily pouring into it, covering and suppressing the golden lightning on its body.

Buzz!

Amidst a huge trembling noise, the golden lightning on Agrius’s body crackled and struggled.

For a time, a man and a lizard were stuck in absolute deadlock.

White and gold fiercely resisted each other, turning the physical fight into an energy drain, which was exactly what Yu Hong had planned.

‘From the previous time I visited, each probe to the arrays on the wooden bridge weakened it once. Agrius’s power recovery speed is definitely much slower than mine. After draining its power, the recovery time for the wooden bridge’s encroachment should correspond to its power recovery time.’

Ideas flashed through Yu Hong’s mind like lightning, and he immediately applied more force, continuously draining the opponent’s Inner Qi.

Time slowly passed.

He wasn’t planning to return anymore, just to endure and deplete here.

The Black Ship quickly left.

One hour, two hours, five hours, ten hours…

Gradually, the once vigorous golden lightning began to weaken slowly.

Ao!

Agrius began trying to break free from the depletion.

But Yu Hong grabbed its side of the head with both hands, holding on, unable to struggle free.

Despite not being able to struggle free, its strength was still immense, as it started crazily ramming and rolling around Prison Island with Yu Hong in tow.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The ground’s rocks shattered, smashing into pits of varying sizes.

The walls too were dented with shallow pits.

Agrius struggled frantically, seemingly sensing its dire situation, its movements becoming increasingly agitated.

Until thirteen hours later…

Boom!!

The last golden lightning on Agrius’s body was completely submerged by Inner Qi.

It let out a painful roar and fell to the ground, unable to rise, covered by the invisible Heavenly River in an instant, then quickly faded, became transparent, and disappeared.

At the same time.

Yu Hong released his hand, his whole body ached, and he stood gasping for breath, leaning on his knees, feeling hollowed out.

“Finally… done!”

He mentally relaxed and was about to sit down to rest for a bit.

Suddenly, the entire island trembled slightly, and a gray-white stone platform slowly rose from the ground in front of him.

The stone platform had no decoration, it was just made of rough ordinary rocks, the edges weren’t even polished.

The platform was only one meter high, with a round groove on top in which a black boat-shaped Jade Pendant was placed.

The Jade Pendant was strung with a black cord to create a pendant.

Yu Hong reached out to grab the pendant and took a look.

‘Prompt: Additional mental contract obtained, integrate into the Black Mark?’

The feedback from Black Mark sounded.

‘Integrate,’ Yu Hong answered without hesitation.

Facing such mysterious supernatural means, having Black Mark screen it first was naturally the most reassuring.

Suddenly, the back of his right hand heated up, lasting two seconds before everything disappeared.

The Jade Pendant also vanished.

‘Integration complete, Black Ship Contract has been integrated into the Black Mark, automatic integration completed, transformed into Black Mark Imprint Three.’

Suddenly, a new white spot of light emerged naturally in Yu Hong’s mind.

Now there were three spots of light in his mind.

The first was an Array, the Wind and Fire Slaughter Spirit Array.

The second was a Nest, the Dragon Lizard Nest.

The third was the newly acquired Black Ship Contract.

Filled with curiosity, Yu Hong quickly reached out mentally to touch the Black Ship Contract light cluster.

Quickly, messages emerged in his mind like innate memories.

‘Black Ship Contract: one of the Savior Ships built by the Orthodoxy, possesses the feature of randomly docking at different lands of vitality.’

Savior Ship?

Yu Hong sent out a mental command to summon it, intrigued.

Soon.

In the Black Fog at the dock, a huge, dilapidated Black Ship silently moved through Black River and with a bang hit the wooden piles, coming to a stop.

“This time it’s much more convenient,” Yu Hong felt relieved.

He tried several times to let it depart.

Instantly, the Black Ship quietly left.

After several repetitions, Yu Hong began to examine the Infinite River Technique.

The Heavenly River still surrounded him, invisible to others under normal circumstances.

Whenever needed, it could easily materialize to aid in combat.

At this moment, Yu Hong could feel a super micro Agrius swimming slowly in his Heavenly River.

‘It seems it was successful!?’

He felt a bit surprised.

He stretched out his hand and pointed at the ground not far away.

Sss!

Instantly, an invisible ripple flashed by, and the thirty-meter-long Agrius suddenly appeared in the empty space.

Ao!

Its body, like black viscous liquid, roared lowly at Yu Hong and then lay down, not moving again.

‘Go.’

Yu Hong issued a command in his mind.

Agrius suddenly charged towards the high wall and slammed into it.

Boom!!

The high wall burst open a shallow pit, and stone chips flew.

Agrius itself was also struck, scattering many black scales.

“Impressive!”

Yu Hong stepped forward and carefully touched the other’s scales. The hard, cold scales glistened as if wet with water.

“This is powerful! With Agrius, spearman, and combined with Dragon Lizard, we can completely suppress those previous Black Disasters in a short time.”

The urgency in Yu Hong’s heart lessened by a great deal.

He felt the continuous drain of Inner Qi after summoning Agrius.

It felt manageable, he could sustain even three more.

He checked the time, until the Black Ship arrives there was…

‘Wait, I can now summon the Black Ship myself, why am I still waiting?’

He suddenly realized.

Once again facing the endless solid walls, Yu Hong recalled Agrius and climbed up.

In a while, he arrived at Yang Chenhe’s window.

“Congratulations, I saw everything,” Yang Chenhe wrote on the wooden board, his face showing a hint of complexity.

“I didn’t expect to actually accomplish it in the end,” Yu Hong nodded. “I’m now the captain, can I let you all out?”

“No… Agrius is indeed the warden here, but what you took was just one of its avatars, an avatar is a test for newcomers, for captains, so…” Yang Chenhe shook his head as he wrote.

“An avatar!?” Yu Hong was taken aback, the slight joy that had just risen quickly faded.

“The captains detained on Prison Island, each has killed Agrius in a direct confrontation. So many powerful beings detained, and you think they’d let someone weaker than them oversee everything? Do you think it’s possible?”

Yang Chenhe’s reminder was very precise and pulled Yu Hong back from his good mood.

“I have a question,” Yu Hong said.

“Go ahead,” Yang Chenhe seemed in quite good spirits.

“Has anyone truly escaped the Source Disaster?” Yu Hong asked.

“The Source Disaster is an overwhelming force, unstoppable, wherever it goes, everything is doomed to destruction, extinction, oblivion. You can’t escape…” Yang Chenhe shook his head.
