Chapter 1529: Catch up to me, and I’ll let you… hehehehe

Song Shuhang could have never imagined that he, who was clearly suffering from both a fear of heights and a fear of high speeds, would eventually hand over the authority over the ‘Divine Lobster’s Chariot’ to the puppet maiden.

Moreover, he also cooperated with her to add spiritual energy to the chariot. He fully used the five cores in his body, making it such that the Divine Lobster’s Chariot was prioritized for energy distribution.

In order to prevent himself from accidentally self-destructing when using his Golden Core’s energy, Song Shuhang also activated his smoke mode. In this mode, even if he did explode, his body should at least be able to regather.

He could only hope that his smoke mode was immune to self-destruction.

“I’ll be leaving it up to you, fairy,” Song Shuhang said. At this time, his smokey body was covered by a sheet.

The puppet maiden replied, “No problem, just believe in my skills.”

She sat on the Divine Lobster’s Chariot, holding the reins with both of her hands. Afterward, a row of small holes opened up in her back, and a pair of bone wings extended out. Each bone wing was composed of 12 bone spurs.

The two bone wings extended downwards and touched the Divine Lobster’s Chariot. The tips of the bone wings stuck on the chariot like they were suction cups—with this, the puppet maiden and the Divine Lobster’s Chariot became a single ent.i.ty.

In the next moment, a series of formations appeared on the Divine Lobster’s Chariot.

Song Shuhang recognized several of these formations because Senior White had used them in the past. Among these formations were formations for acceleration, those for reducing friction, and one that would spew out energy behind them to let them go faster…

But those were naturally not all there was—there were actually more than 20 formations that Song Shuhang had never seen before.

The puppet maiden’s bone wings had 24 bone spurs altogether, and there was a corresponding number of formations.

This… This many?

Song Shuhang’s heartbeat began to speed up.

With such crazy auxiliary formations, the Divine Lobster’s Chariot’s speed would definitely increase drastically.

“Boom~”

At the rear of the chariot, a vapor cloud was generated as the speed of the chariot suddenly exceeded the speed of sound and continued to rise.

Song Shuhang clutched the chariot tightly with one hand, and grabbed Chu Chu with the other to prevent her from being thrown out of the chariot.

This speed was extremely fast, and it was already beyond saving.

Song Shuhang gulped and looked behind him.

There, a gray projection of a Buddha statue appeared in the air.

This Buddha statue was quite huge, with a height of over 100 meters, a round face, and big ears—this guy appeared so suddenly, just like a storm would on the sea.

At this time, the huge gray Buddha statue was making hand seals, waving his palms around, and attacking the gray sea.

With every palm that descended, tens of thousands of buddhist seals condensed, and formed a huge gray palm before falling downward.

“Boom~”

With a single palm, the surface of the gray sea was penetrated, with the palm reaching and revealing the bottom of the gray sea. The power of the palm didn’t end there, as it directly formed an abyss-like palm print on the sea bottom.

With the rise and fall of a palm, the sky and the earth trembled, and the rivers and seas were overwhelmed.

This power had to be of someone who was at or above the Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender Realm.

It was definitely not an exaggeration for the other party to be a big shot in the world of cultivation, for it was someone who could move mountains and seas, and make the world fall apart with the flip of their hand.

If such a palm were to descend on someone, they would surely die!

More importantly, the gray Buddha statue was venting, waving his palms about repeatedly.

The power of a single palm was enough to flip mountains and seas, so the continuous waving of palms would simply bring about an artificial end of the world.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Palm print after palm print was left in the sea.

The poor gray sea was unceasingly beaten up without any power to fight back.

Large vortexes formed in the sea as huge palm prints whose bottom could not be seen appeared at the seabed.

The palm prints were sent out faster and faster, and finally set off a doomsday-like storm which turned into a devastating disaster.

What made Song Shuhang’s scalp numb was that while this gray Buddha was attacking the gray sea, it was also approaching the Divine Lobster’s Chariot, which was where he was.

It was as if the Divine Lobster’s Chariot was attracting him over.

The palm prints that fell like a barrage shot towards Song Shuhang like a storm.

❄️❄️❄️

Song Shuhang said, “It’s going to catch up.”

The puppet maiden said, “Don’t worry, we’re only warming up.”

Under the control of the fairy maiden, the Divine Lobster’s Chariot accelerated wildly, and advanced by leaps and bounds.

In order to throw off the attacks of the gray Buddha statue, the chariot did not advance straight, but in a diagonal line.

However, the gray Buddha statue seemed to have locked onto the chariot. After the position of the chariot s.h.i.+fted, the direction of the attacks of the Buddha statue also s.h.i.+fted.

Song Shuhang said, “We can’t avoid it, it has really locked onto us.”

The puppet maiden said, “In that case, let’s use our strength and speed to get rid of it in one breath!”

After saying that, she shook her hands. “Immortal Beast Flying Technique—Divine Swallow.”

The spiritual energy of the puppet maiden was attached to Divine Lobster’s Chariot, and the spiritual energy for the flying technique took the appearance of a golden swallow.

“Whoosh~”

The speed of the Divine Lobster’s Chariot skyrocketed once more.

Song Shuhang felt like he was about to be tossed out.

He turned his head and stared at the gray Buddha statue.

The speed of the Buddha statue did not change. With the puppet maiden having accelerated, the distance between them increased.

Song Shuhang silently let out a breath of relief.

At this moment, in the barrage of palms, a light flashed.

It was the immortal shuttle that kept taunting them.

The immortal shuttle dexterously moved between the palm strikes of the gray Buddha statue, and it appeared next to Shuhang once again after flas.h.i.+ng a few times. After doing so, it slowed down and remained side by side with the Divine Lobster’s Chariot that had been buffed with the immortal beast flying technique.

“Vrooom~”

The immortal shuttle once again provocatively made a sound similar to its engine revving.

The puppet maiden calmly said, “So, it’s come again, huh?”

Song Shuhang said, “Fairy maiden, don’t be provoked by the other party. We’re good as long as we’re able to advance steadily.”

Getting rid of the gray Buddha statue was the most important thing.

“Don’t worry, I’m not someone who is easily provoked,” the puppet maiden said. “With my realm and will, how can little things affect me?”

“Vrooom~”

The immortal shuttle made a loud noise again, and it did something even more outrageous this time.

It nearly crashed against the Divine Lobster’s Chariot, almost hitting Song Shuhang’s head—its distance control was very precise. If it had been any closer, there would have been a crash.

After rus.h.i.+ng to the front of the Divine Lobster’s Chariot, its speed slowed down a little bit, and then several components similar to signal lights lit up on its body. The colored signal lights flashed in different colors, seemingly trying to provoke them.

After displaying this set of skills, it sped up and rushed forward.

I keep on feeling that this immortal shuttle is a bit shameless.

“Hahaha.” The puppet maiden let out a strange laugh. She stretched out her hand and flicked the reins once again. “Immortal Beast Flying Technique, Divine Dragon!”

The divine swallow form that had been created by the flying technique transformed, and took on the form of a divine dragon.

The speed of the Divine Lobster’s Chariot increased again, and it rushed forward fiercely.

Song Shuhang gritted his teeth and held onto the chariot tightly with one hand while firmly holding Chu Chu with the other.

This speed had already exceeded the speed Senior White made him experience previously.

He was nearly at his limit… This super fast speed made his body feel slightly cold. Fortunately, he had the sheet lent to him by Senior White Two, which allowed him to feel a trace of warmth at this time.

In addition, for some reason, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his arm.

Song Shuhang looked down at his arm.

After doing so, he found that his smoke arm bloomed like a flower as several wounds formed on it out of thin air.

Strange, when did it get injured?

Wait… Could my body be reaching its limit, so it is going to explode soon?

How heart-stifling, I’m not going to die here, am I? Can my smoke form not handle it?

While in thought, Song Shuhang discovered that his secret appraisal technique had been activated.

A golden rune emerged from his eyes and soon returned.

He let out a breath of relief.

It wasn’t that he was self-destructing—the injury on the arm was the price of the secret appraisal technique.

What did the secret appraisal technique accidentally appraise this time?

As Song Shuhang’s proficiency had increased, it became increasingly rare for the secret appraisal technique to suddenly activate like this.

However, he had yet to thoroughly master the secret appraisal technique, so there was still a chance for this kind of thing to happen.

When he could finally take off his glove and not have to worry about the secret appraisal technique suddenly activating, it would be a great achievement for him.

He estimated that if he wanted to fully master the secret appraisal technique, he would have to wait until he reached the Ninth Stage. This was because the prototype for this secret technique was originally a Ninth Stage magical technique.

At this time, a piece of information emerged in Song Shuhang’s mind.

[Universe-Piercing Flying Shuttle: The fastest flying magic treasure in the universe. It has a flying speed close to that of spatial jumps, and is a magical treasure forged by the sixth Wielder of the Heaven’s Will before they took their position. After its creator became the sixth Wielder of the Will, this magical treasure was blessed by the power of the Heaven’s Will, and its overall attributes were strengthened, allowing it to reach even higher speeds. Currently, it is without a master. Do you want to have it? If you want to obtain it, as long as you chase it, it can let you do so. Hehehe.]

Song Shuhang said, “F*ck.”

The puppet maiden asked, “What is it?”

Song Shuhang said, “This immortal shuttle is a creation of the sixth Wielder of the Heaven’s Will.”

No wonder it was so overbearing.

Moreover, the secret appraisal technique commented on it as the fastest flying magical treasure in the entire universe.

Note that it was stated to be the fastest, not “one of the fastest”.

In other words, in terms of speed alone, one would not be able to find anything in the universe that was faster than it.

Although it was currently not owned by anybody, it seemed that there was a chance it would recognize whoever caught up with it as its owner. However, the problem was that this thing had the fastest speed in the universe, so who could catch up with it?

The puppet maiden curiously asked, “You recognize it?”

Song Shuhang said, “Just now, I got information on it after accidentally appraising it. It’s called the Universe-Piercing Flying Shuttle… It is a creation of the sixth Wielder of the Will from before they took over the position. It is the fastest magical treasure in the universe. And after the sixth Wielder of the Will came to be, this magical treasure was further strengthened by the power of the Heaven’s Will.”

“…” The puppet maiden.

Was it just her imagination? Why did she feel that the creations of the various Wielders of the Will seemed to be really common recently?

Due to her staying with Song Shuhang all the time, she knew that he had several products of Wielders of the Heaven’s Will.

There was the mysterious Inner World, the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber, and the big-eyed planet that often came out to fight Song Shuhang.

There was also the bone of eternity in the body of the fairy maiden with long blue hair, who was also acquainted with Song Shuhang.

And now, there was this immortal shuttle…

In the past, when she was in the Ancient Heavenly City, she hadn’t gotten any chances to see any product of a Wielder of the Will despite living there for hundreds of years.

The current situation made the puppet maiden feel like she could throw a brick randomly into a crowd, and somehow manage to hit a product of a Wielder of the Will.

Song Shuhang pondered, and said, “This Universe-Piercing Flying Shuttle is currently without an owner. That being said, it seems that after the sixth Wielder of the Heaven’s Will left their position, they disappeared…”

Where did the various Wielders of the Will go after retiring?

They were clearly eternal, unkillable and immortal, perhaps even indestructible. As such, how did they disappear?

The puppet maiden asked, “It’s without an owner?”

Song Shuhang said, “Mm-hm, and if we can catch up to it, there’s a chance that it would recognize us as its master. However, who can even catch up with it? That’s the fastest thing in the universe.”

“Catch up with it, and there’s a chance that you can get it?” The orange light in the puppet maiden’s eyes shone brightly. “Shuhang, can you still handle it?”

“?” Song Shuhang.

The puppet maiden’s eyes were s.h.i.+ning… Could it be that she wanted to catch up to this immortal shuttle?

The puppet maiden said, “We’ve got a chance. I still haven’t used my ultimate flying technique.”

Puzzled, Song Shuhang asked, “Can you catch up to it?”

Ahead of them, they could no longer even see the immortal shuttle’s shadow.

The puppet maiden said, “No, but… we can use other methods. We can slow down the other party! If the opponent is the fastest in the world, then we just have to find a way to reduce its speed. After that, we can surpa.s.s it. In a while, when it rushes to our side again, we can attack it!”

“…” Song Shuhang.

Not knowing why, he suddenly thought of the hand-guided tractor compet.i.tion.

It was clearly just a race, but various attacks such as the unrivaled diamond drill, modified guided missile, giant buddhist fist, and Phoenix Slayer Edition tractor-transforming golden core came out during the race, resulting in the peaceful racing compet.i.tion completely collapsing.

While they were talking, the immortal shuttle had appeared again next to the Divine Lobster’s Chariot.

Afterward, it stopped again and moved side by side with the Divine Lobster’s Chariot.

It flew faster and faster… and then the frequency of its provocations increased greatly.

The puppet maiden said, “Get it!”

“Me?” Song Shuhang was taken aback.

“I’m driving with everything I’ve got, so I can’t be the one to do it,” the puppet maiden said using voice transmission. “Stop wasting time, do you have any means to reduce its speed? Just use whatever you’ve got.”

Song Shuhang quickly filtered through the skills he knew in his mind, and despondently said, “No, I don’t have any magical techniques or means to slow it down.”

Apologies, I’ve lost face as a Fifth Stage Spiritual Emperor.

He clearly had five cores and was a Fifth Stage Spiritual Emperor, yet he couldn’t even use a simply slowing magical technique.

“Stare at it with the Sage’s eye!” the puppet maiden said. “Whether it works or not, try staring at it first. The Sage’s eye worked on the stone giant, it might also be able to affect this immortal shuttle.”

Song Shuhang smiled wryly, and asked, “Would that even work?”

The stone giant was a living creature that had gained intelligence.

Yet, this immortal shuttle was just a magical treasure; how could a magical treasure become pregnant?

However, he still stared at the immortal shuttle with the Sage’s eye as it cost him nothing. He still hadn’t gotten to take it off, but this was just right as it saved him some time from having to install the eye now.
