Age of Calamity in Swallowed Star

Chapter 178: Capturing Babata Alive! [First Update, Seeking Subscriptions!]

In just a few minutes.

Lin Ye, following Chan'er's instructions, arrived above Mist Island.

Looking down from a thousand meters in the air.

Lin Ye's gaze pierced through the heavy mist, reaching the sizable lake, a glimmer of dark light flashing in his eyes.

"Little Master, we've found the universe spacecraft of that Marquis-level Immortal. It's below the lake ahead, about ten thousand meters deep."

Chan'er's voice echoed in Lin Ye's mind, and the latter's face revealed a faint smile upon hearing this.

Finally found you, Babata!

"So, shall we just barge in?" Lin Ye asked.

"Of course, we have to barge in. Intelligent lifeforms are generally very stubborn and won't easily submit unless you capture them alive."

Seeming to know a lot about intelligent lifeforms, Chan'er's voice carried a hint of a smile as she continued, "Or use coercion and enticement. There's always a way to make them willingly submit!"

"For example, if Huo Rong and I reveal our true forms and directly barge in, using the entire ancient civilization ruins to pressure this intelligent lifeform, we'll definitely be able to make it yield."

"No need for that yet. Let's talk to this little devil Babata first, and try to reason with him before resorting to force!"

At this point, a cunning smile appeared on Lin Ye's face.

He already had an idea in mind.

"Since you've decided, Little Master, then use the Blood Flame Divine Weapon to directly break through the earth and go deep down."

"Mm!" They immediately agreed, and Lin Ye took out one of the nine great divine weapons that burned with flames.

"Little Master, you might encounter some obstacles when you enter!"

Just as Lin Ye stepped onto the broad blade of the Blood Flame Divine Weapon, Chan'er's voice sounded.

"No matter what the obstacles are, just smash them!"

Lin Ye said heroically.

He was determined to get this Babata today!

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

In the intense airflow, Lin Ye leaped down.

His target was the location of that huge lake.

The surging cool air blew against his face, making Lin Ye feel very comfortable.

He even opened his arms, as if embracing the heavens and earth.

Due to the extreme speed, Lin Ye directly cut the mist into two.

Behind him was a long channel.

However, just when Lin Ye was about six or seven hundred meters away from the lake.

A sudden change occurred!

"Swoosh!"

Sounds of intense wind breaking suddenly exploded in the air, ringing out from far to near.

Four purplish-black vines, each about twenty or thirty centimeters in diameter, shot out from the thick fog… all aimed at Lin Ye's vital points.

"Humph!"

With a soft hum, the Nirvana Domain suddenly erupted, like a blooming flame lotus.

The mist was instantly burned into a vacuum zone, and the four purplish-black vines were instantly incinerated, leaving no trace.

"Little Master, don't use too much force. These are all Moyun Vines!"

"Got it, then I'll give them a small punishment!"

After speaking, the Nirvana Domain suddenly became much more violent.

Blades of light formed from fire-attribute gene energy danced wildly in the sky.

Then, they quickly moved towards the direction from which these vines were retracting.

Under the suppression of the Nirvana Domain, even the formidable Moyun Vines were unable to resist.

Before long, they were defeated.

After resolving this little episode, Lin Ye had already descended to the surface of the lake.

Looking at the calm, mirror-like lake surface, Lin Ye looked around, recalling some scenes from the original story in his mind, and the corners of his mouth quietly curved up.

"In the past, City Lord Luo was tempted here by Babata with Muyajing, and finally obtained the Meteor Star inheritance, becoming Hu Yanbo's successor."

"And I, on the other hand, have become a disciple of a high-level Venerable, and am actively going to capture Babata."

"Truly, it's all about timing and fate…"

Chuckling to himself, Lin Ye directly plunged into the lake.

"Splash!"

Amidst the splashing water, Lin Ye's figure quickly descended.

In the blink of an eye, he had already reached the bottom of the lake.

"Boom!!"

An invisible wave swept across the bottom of the lake, and Lin Ye directly activated the mental power scanning mode.

"Roar!!"

"Woo! Woo!"

"…"

Awakened by this powerful wave, one sea beast after another rushed towards Lin Ye, wanting to devour this human.

However, before they could get close.

The Nirvana Domain instantly spread out, forming an absolute defense barrier in the area five hundred meters around him.

Whether they were Lord-level monsters or King-level monsters, all those who entered the Nirvana Domain were instantly killed.

During the three months of cultivation, Lin Ye not only skillfully mastered a series of secret techniques.

He also became more adept at releasing and controlling the domain.

After resolving the surrounding clamor, Lin Ye looked at the thick lake bottom beneath his feet, a thoughtful expression on his face.

After a moment, he directly used his mental power to control the Blood Flame Divine Weapon, and began to drill into the lake bottom rocks.

"Crack, crack, crack!!"

The ear-piercing sound of rotation was endless, and the Blood Flame Divine Weapon, which was one of the nine great divine weapons controlled by mental power controllers, was used by Lin Ye as a tunnel boring machine today, and began to drill at the bottom of Mist Island's lake.

In just a few breaths, a large hole with a diameter of dozens of meters and a depth of more than several thousand meters appeared at the bottom of the lake.

As the lake water surged and flowed, Lin Ye jumped in and continued to control the Blood Flame Divine Weapon to drill.

"Tsk tsk tsk… Little Master, you've really opened my eyes today!"

Chan'er's teasing voice rang in Lin Ye's mind, smiling, "The Nine Great Divine Weapons are actually used like this. If their creator knew about this, I'm afraid he would catch you and give you a good lesson."

"It's okay, he doesn't know!" Lin Ye replied frankly.

He didn't have anything better at hand right now, so he could only wrong this divine weapon for now.

"Little Master, I don't think you need to go to so much trouble… As long as you tell Huo Rong, he can directly take you into that universe spacecraft. There's no need for this at all."

"???" Several question marks slowly appeared in Lin Ye's mind. He asked, "Huo Rong, is he a King-level Immortal who has mastered space teleportation?"

"Yes, he's a King who can teleport," Chan'er replied naturally.

"…" Upon hearing this, Lin Ye was silent for a moment, and then directly communicated with Huo Rong with his mind: "Big fool, get to work."

"Oh."

Huo Rong, who was sleeping soundly in the storage space, reluctantly turned over and got up, and then his figure disappeared.

When he reappeared, this humanoid alien covered in red hair was already standing beside Lin Ye, his simple and honest face full of smiles.

"Master, where do you want to go!"

"Go to the central control room of that spacecraft, to capture the intelligent lifeform Babata alive."

Before Lin Ye could speak, Chan'er took the lead in answering, her voice carrying a hint of excitement.

"Daring to call himself a little devil, he's simply not putting this grandma in his eyes. Actually, I wanted to deal with her five thousand years ago, but at that time…"

"What a quirky woman! No! Female intelligent lifeform!"

Listening to Chan'er's evil words, Lin Ye secretly slandered in his heart.

"Little Master, hold on tight!"

Huo Rong said with a smile, and then Lin Ye only felt the change of time and space, this feeling was no different from entering the Burning Dust Venerable's trial ground before.

When the feeling disappeared, Lin Ye and Huo Rong were already standing in a huge semicircular luxurious hall.

Around them, there were six strangely shaped corpses scattered throughout the hall.

Without exception, all of them had no life aura or fluctuations.

The golden bones caught Lin Ye's eye with great curiosity, and he walked towards the nearest one.

"Little Master, what's so good about looking at them? They're just some little guys who have just entered immortality. Huo Rong can slap a large group of them down with one palm."

At this time, Chan'er only glanced at the remains and lost interest.

Lin Ye: "…"

"Hehehe…"

Hearing these words of praise, the red-haired fool kept 'hehehe' laughing on the side.

"Little devil, come out and see your grandma!"

Chan'er actually cleared her throat and shouted, her voice echoing in the control room.

"…"

"…"

At this moment, Babata, hiding in the dark, was as quiet as a quail, not daring to move at all.

After a long while, Chan'er saw that there was no movement.

Then, she rolled up her sleeves and clenched a fist the size of a steamed bun.

"Babata, if you don't come out, I'll tear down this spacecraft…"

Before the words fell, Chan'er's fist had already slammed on the ground.

Rumble!!

The entire space shook violently, scaring Lin Ye a lot.

He looked up and saw that Chan'er's entire arm was completely submerged in the floor, leaving a deep, dark fist mark after pulling it out.

"If you don't come out to see grandma, I'll do it again."

Seeming to not have enjoyed that punch just now, Chan'er waved her arm again, preparing to throw another punch.

"Don't, please stop, grandma!" A pleading voice sounded, Lin Ye slightly twitched the corners of his mouth, and looked at Chan'er with a strange look.

What a quirky and unconventional Chan'er.

An anomaly began to appear in the hall.

Lin Ye only heard a 'ding' sound, and the originally dim hall gradually lit up.

The entire hall suddenly became bright.

Some strange rays of light gathered in the center of the hall, and a black simulated figure slowly condensed.

A small child with a height of about one meter four or five appeared in front of Lin Ye and the others. She had two pointed horns on her forehead, her eyes were blood-red, and she was wearing a black robe.

The transparent skin contained a vast and brilliant starry sky, and the mechanical wings behind her fluttered at high speed, giving people the feeling of a little elf.

"Wuwu… My grandma, please don't be so violent. We are all intelligent lifeforms, don't be too anxious to kill each other!"

As soon as the black-robed Babata appeared, a trace of aggrieved resentment appeared in her blood-colored eyes.

In the next moment, she directly pounced towards Chan'er's long legs.

Who knew that the latter would take a step back, directly causing Babata to pounce into the air.

"Stop with that act. I called you so loudly just now, didn't you hear me?"

Chan'er crossed her arms and looked at Babata with a condescending look.

"Just now… I was commemorating my master, so I didn't notice grandma coming!"

Feeling the stronger aura and the higher level of evolution than herself,

Babata immediately distinguished that this white-clothed woman who was not easy to mess with must have fused with the Mechanical Heart.

And the red-haired puppet next to her, who looked simple and honest, was exuding an aura that was countless times stronger than her master Hu Yanbo.

Even the Marquis-level Immortals she had seen before were not even one ten-thousandth of this red-haired alien.

"King!"

The two big words suddenly jumped out in Babata's mind, causing her to immediately put away her quirky personality and become extremely docile.

The reason is simple.

Whether it was this woman who was also an intelligent lifeform like herself, or the red-haired puppet with the strength of a King, they were not something she could contend with.

Even if her master was alive, she would definitely not have the slightest resistance.

Therefore, in Babata's calculations, she only had one path—surrender!

And she had to surrender with the lowest posture possible in order to avoid angering these big figures as much as possible and protect the Meteor Star, which her master had left behind.

Otherwise, if she angered this group of big figures, they might just tear down her spacecraft.

"Alright, Chan'er, stop teasing Babata."

Lin Ye stepped forward, came to the little devil, and said with a smile: "Babata, the reason we came to you this time is actually to ask for your help."

Looking at the young man in front of her, Babata's blood-colored eyes looked at Chan'er and Huo Rong again, and her face showed some disbelief.

"You… you really came to ask for my help…"

Before Babata could finish speaking, Chan'er took a big step, walked directly in front of her, and stretched out a hand to pick her up: "Stop asking so many questions. Now you have been captured alive by us. You can't say no to whatever the little master asks you, understand?"

"Otherwise, I'll tear down this base for you, so you can't find a successor for your master."

Lin Ye: "…"

Feeling the coldness in the white-clothed woman's tone, Babata shivered, but nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "I promise you everything, I promise everything!"

Looking at Babata's frightened look, Lin Ye smiled and comforted: "Actually, the things I want you to do are very simple and won't affect you from recruiting disciples for your master."

"What I want you to do is to manage the development of this planet and help the warriors of this planet improve their combat power…"

After thinking for a while, he continued: "Of course, if you encounter Earthlings who are suitable for the Meteor Star inheritance while managing Earth, you can naturally recruit them as disciples."

"I understand." Hearing Lin Ye's soft words, Babata breathed a sigh of relief.

When facing two Kings, even she, this little devil, felt a lot of pressure.

At the moment of meeting, she almost couldn't breathe.

"Before you leave, take me to pay tribute to your master Hu Yanbo."

Lin Ye's face was full of smiles, and he continued.

"Hmm? You even know my master's name?"

Babata looked at Lin Ye suspiciously, and saw the latter gently nod, looking at Chan'er, and said: "Chan'er told me all this."

"Oh…"

Looking at Chan'er, who was dressed in white, Babata's crystal-clear eyes still fell on Lin Ye, and said: "Come with me, let's go see the master."

Then, as the black-robed child Babata pointed to the center of the ground, a metal passage suddenly appeared.

The group of four flew down.

Lin Ye felt a surge of excitement in his heart. He would finally meet Huyanzhuo from the original story.

Before long, led by Babata, Lin Ye and the others arrived in front of a crystal coffin.

Looking at the crystal coffin that exuded a chilling aura, Lin Ye saw a giant corpse with soft tentacles on its forehead, similar to King Piccolo.

His appearance was very handsome, and lying in the crystal coffin, he looked as if he were asleep.

Lin Ye looked at the corpse, his expression somewhat complicated.

"Master! Babata is going to leave you!"

Beside him, Babata grabbed the crystal coffin, tears falling to the ground.

Lin Ye: "…"

Looking at Babata's tearful face, Lin Ye didn't know what to say and could only continue to focus on Huyanzhuo.

"Don't be sad. Do you know what kind of person Lin Ye standing in front of you is?"

Chan'er suddenly said.

"I... I don't know?" Hearing Chan'er's words, Babata wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and shook his head with red eyes.

"He has already been accepted as a disciple by Venerable Fenchen, so he doesn't care about your Yunmo Star inheritance!"

Chan'er said from the side, her words full of arrogance and indifference.

"Cos... Cosmic Venerable?"

Hearing this, Babata's two blood-colored eyes suddenly widened.

His fair and tender little face was full of disbelief.

"If he weren't at the Cosmic Venerable level, how could he have arranged for two King-level experts to come to teach and protect him?" Chan'er added.

"Oh! I understand!" As if suddenly realizing something, Babata nodded heavily.

At this time, the look in his eyes towards Lin Ye was full of awe and envy.

"What a monstrous talent… If only I could become his master's disciple!"

However, this thought was fleeting, and Babata's gaze fell on Huyanzhuo's corpse again, becoming somewhat sentimental.

"What's there to be sad about? People can be resurrected after death. Even the Lord of the Ganwu can be resurrected, let alone an undying god like you, little devil… Take everything in stride!"

Chan'er said this fact as she slowly strolled.

"With my old master's great powers, as long as you make Lin Ye happy, he might find a powerful being to resurrect Huyanzhuo in the future, and then you'll have a master."

Listening to Chan'er's empty promise, the corner of Lin Ye's mouth twitched fiercely again.

But her words were heard by Babata and taken as truth.

Babata nodded sincerely, and said solemnly: "Yes! I understand. I'll go with you now!"

After thinking for a while, Babata continued to add: "From now on, I'll listen to Lin Ye. I'll do whatever you ask me to do!"

"Haha, very good, very good!"

Getting Babata's guarantee, a happy smile appeared on Lin Ye's face.

He believed that with Babata's management, he could completely be a hands-off manager and not have to intervene too much.

Apart from occasionally providing some resources and making decisions, he believed that Babata could handle everything else himself.

And his focus could be completely on cultivation.

"Since everything is settled, let's go home! Huorong, I'll have to trouble you again!" Chan'er looked at Huorong, who was like a wooden man and almost asleep, and gently poked his arm.

"No problem, leave it to me."

Opening his eyes, the red-haired alien showed a simple and honest smile.

Then a wisp of invisible fluctuation enveloped everyone, and they disappeared in place in an instant…
