Chapter 1805 (Raw 1817): Controlling the Demonic Ship
Half a month after Yan Zhe arrived:
Xiao Suo suddenly pulled Xiao Chen out of the captain’s quarters, where he had been researching the Dreamlike Mundane World, without any explanation .
“What is it that you have to be so mysterious?” Xiao Chen asked, looking curiously at Xiao Suo .
Xiao Suo was not one to beat about the bush . When something out of the ordinary happened, there had to be a cause .
Xiao Suo said, “Something happened to the ship . It looks like it is about to complete its demonification . ”
When Xiao Chen heard this, his expression changed slightly . He immediately understood what Xiao Suo was talking about .
The Black Cutlass had been in the process of demonification . All the components of the ship had the scarlet demonic fog seeping into them at every moment .
From the very first modification, that Senior Gui had done something to the ship .
No matter how this ship was modified in the future, it could only be improved according to Senior Gui’s plan . This was because the ship had the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation as its core .
At first, the changes were not huge .
As time went by, Xiao Suo had noticed traces of it . Eventually, Xiao Chen discovered it too .
Back then, the two discussed it . Even if it was a demonic ship, there was no problem with using it .
Now that the Black Cutlass really turned into a demonic ship, Xiao Suo still felt some fear .
He did not dare to tell anyone, only quietly coming to discuss it with Xiao Chen .
“Don’t panic . I have a question first . Does Yan Zhe know about the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation in the Black Cutlass?” Xiao Chen asked as he looked at Xiao Suo, thinking of something .
Xiao Suo shook his head and replied, “He does not know . Back then, he appeared only after the Yazi Beast Demon Soul was drained of energy . Otherwise, I would not have handed the Scarlet Blood War Banner to him so easily . ”
Great! Xiao Chen thought to himself . He was still worried that he did not have enough trump cards to deal with Yan Zhe . Yan Zhe’s ignorance of the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation was good news .
“Bring me to the core control room . Let’s take a look at the situation you mentioned . ”
“Yes . ”
Xiao Suo nodded slightly and led Xiao Chen to the core control room .
The core control room was the pirate ship’s core . It was even more important than the external control room .
Actually, the external control room should be more accurately called a remote control room .
One could enter the core control room only if they had the Captain Token . Xiao Suo took out the Captain Token and placed it into the wall .
A secret door opened, revealing an average-sized room . There were many formations in it, looking very cluttered .
In the center of the hundreds of formations was the core formation that maintained the ship, operating many other different formations . It was like a gear connecting a set of formations that worked together .
Actually, these were not the true formations, just projections of the many formations of the ship in the core control room .
The purpose of the core control room was to connect these formations and bind them into one complete set .
The mysteries behind this involved the most fundamental secrets of the Pirate Alliance .
Even now, aside from the Pirate Alliance, no faction had managed to forge a ship like the pirate ships .
“Big Brother, take a look . That little scarlet formation is the projection of the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation . It has infiltrated the other formations and is dyeing them scarlet as well . ”
Without Xiao Suo needing to say it, Xiao Chen could see it .
Originally, the formations were of different colors, looking very beautiful and vibrant .
Now, they had all turned a bloody scarlet, an exceptionally frightening sight at first glance .
Xiao Chen looked carefully and found that one-third of the core formations was still untainted by Demonic Qi .
However, it was just a matter of time . Something strange would definitely happen within these two or three days .
Xiao Suo said sullenly, “Right now, the Iron Horn Pirate Group’s ship is leading the way in front . If some mysterious phenomenon appears from the ship’s transformation into a demonic ship and the other party starts asking, it will be difficult to fob them off . ”
Xiao Chen understood what Xiao Suo meant .
Right now, even a fool could tell that this Black Cutlass was extraordinary . That Senior Gui was a true expert .
The Black Cutlass would change from the inside out . Or rather, it would be taking on its true appearance .
Xiao Chen thought for a long time . Then, he suddenly looked at Xiao Suo . “There is no need for you to bother with it . Let me ask you this: do you have the courage to truly control this ship?”
“I…” Xiao Suo revealed a complicated expression, a mix of struggle and hesitation .
“I’ll do it if I have to . It is just the Demonic Dao . I am willing to take this path . It is just like Big Brother said, as long as my heart doesn’t change, I will still be me . ”
After a while, Xiao Suo made up his mind and looked resolutely at Xiao Chen .
Xiao Chen shook his head lightly . He still could see fear and hesitation in Xiao Suo’s eyes, as well as some ill feelings .
In the end, Xiao Suo still feared the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation .
“Never mind, I’ll do it . ”
“Big Brother…” When Xiao Suo heard that, he felt like he had been relieved of a heavy burden . However, he also felt some self-reproach .
“There is no need to blame yourself . My mental state cultivation is much stronger than yours . I am the most suitable person in the first place . ”
Xiao Chen smiled as he patted Xiao Suo’s shoulder . Then, he said softly, “However, this is your ship, after all, which is why I was leaving this opportunity for you . Nevertheless, it seems you still are not ready to support it . On the other hand, I’ve already reached the point where I have to face our calamity . ”
Xiao Suo’s mental state had yet to mature . However, Xiao Chen already needed to face a strong enemy like Yan Zhe .
Warmth bloomed in Xiao Suo’s heart . Hence, he felt even guiltier . He lowered his head and said, “Sorry . I disappointed Big Brother . I really do not have the courage to face the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation . ”
“It’s fine . I’m also afraid of the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation . Old Yama does not like it, either . You are not the only one with that problem . ”
Xiao Chen smiled and consoled Xiao Suo .
After making the decision, the next thing that Xiao Chen needed to do was merge his essence blood with the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation .
Once that was done, this ship would become his bound pirate ship .
Xiao Chen would be able to bring out the might of the Black Cutlass to the greatest extent, controlling it as he pleased . It would be no exaggeration to say that he would become one with the ship .
However, he would also face the danger of falling into the Demonic Dao at any moment, irrecoverable .
“I’ll make a start on it now . Don’t tell the others and startle them . ”
Xiao Chen had always been a decisive person . If he waited for the Black Cutlass to complete demonification, it would be too late to hold the ritual .
After arriving at the bottom floor of the Black Cutlass, Xiao Chen faced the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation, which was covered in blood mist again .
The formation plate floated at the center, shining with a faint light .
The Yazi Beast Demon Soul carved on the formation plate already had five and a half pearls lit up . Right now, it was already as strong as a peak late-stage Star Venerate .
Xiao Chen had once dripped a drop of essence blood into the formation .
At that time, the Yazi Beast Demon Soul had taken a bite out of Xiao Chen’s soul . He could not control it at all .
Back then, it had scared Xiao Chen for quite a while .
Now, the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation already influenced the entire ship . The Immemorial Demon Soul Formation before Xiao Chen should be the true core of the Black Cutlass .
Merging with the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation would mean merging with the Black Cutlass .
While standing at the edge of the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation, Xiao Chen stared at its depths . Then, he took out a short knife and made a small cut on his index finger .
Blood immediately flowed out and fell drop by drop .
When the first drop plopped onto the formation, the calm blood mist immediately surged up and released a bright light .
Xiao Chen distinctly felt a small bite getting gouged out from the azure-colored dragon seal that represented his will of soul in his Soul Pool .
Intense pain flared, and his expression turned incredibly pale .
However, Xiao Chen did not give up like he had the last time . He endured the pain and let the blood drip out slowly .
Time passed quickly .
The essence blood, which was dripping at an unimpressive rate, accumulated in the center of the formation, turning into a pool of pure blood .
In the next moment, this pool of pure blood expanded through the vast formation .
The scarlet light that was leaping around grew from the previous one-third of the formation to covering half .
“Whoosh!”
Just when Xiao Chen’s essence blood covered half of the formation, a roar that seemed to come from an abyss rang out in the depths of the formation . This roar sounded extremely strange .
Suddenly, the Yazi Beast Demon Soul appeared in the depths of the formation .
Its cold, scarlet eyes gazed at Xiao Chen emotionlessly, inspiring terror .
If not for Xiao Suo somewhere nearby, Xiao Chen would find it hard to remain standing stably .
There were many chains piercing through the Yazi Beast Demon Soul’s body and firmly locking it to the formation . It would never be able to leave this formation or the Black Cutlass .
Suddenly, the Yazi Beast Demon Soul pounced . It soared into the air and looked like it was about to swallow Xiao Chen up .
However, the invisible soul chains firmly dragged it back down, causing it to roar in dissatisfaction .
The Yazi Beast Demon Soul’s body entered the half of the formation covered by Xiao Chen’s essence blood .
The merger formally began .
The process inflicted such intense pain that Xiao Chen could no longer hold on . He fainted .
