Chapter 1218: The Labyrinth

Translator: 549690339

On the third day after Xia Pingan followed Zheng He’s fleet out to sea, he saw the terrifying side of the Chaotic Sea. There were sea demons in the sea, and they would attack any target that wanted to cross the Chaotic Sea.

The sea demons looked like a combination of mutated mermaids and scavengers. They were covered in gray-black scales, had wings on their backs, and had sharp fangs. They also had hands and could use cold weapons. The combat strength of a sea demon was actually not strong, but the terrifying thing was that there were too many sea demons in the Sea of Chaos. It was a huge group.

They would jump out of the sea and fly in the air like flying fish, attacking people or ships on the sea in groups.

When Zheng He’s fleet faced the sea demons ‘attack, they were exceptionally calm and well-trained.

Before the sea demons launched an attack, the Yin Yang Officer in the fleet could use a strict divination system, such as weather, currents, good or bad luck of the flow of time, tortoise shells, and other things to predict the approximate time and number of sea demons in advance. Then, the flagship of the fleet would send out a signal, and all ships in the fleet would be prepared for battle.

Every ship in the fleet was protected by powerful talismans and arrays. No foreign objects could invade the entire fleet’s water surface. This made it impossible for the sea demons to attack the fleet from the bottom of the sea. They could only jump out of the sea and attack the fleet from the air.

When the sea demons attacked in the future, the sergeants, civilian guards, helmsmen, bankers, communicators, workers, calculators, and other non-combat personnel on the ships in the fleet would all be evacuated from the deck, while the officers, soldiers, warriors, sailors, and others would all enter combat positions. When the sea demons began to attack from the sky, the thunderbolt cannons in the fleet from a thousand meters away would complete the first wave of long-range attacks on the sea demons.

After the sea monsters had passed through the attack of the Thunderbolt Cannons and got closer to the fleet, the cannons in the fleet began to show their might. Zheng He’s fleet was equipped with a large number of copper and iron cannons. Once the cannons filled with iron sand were fired, they could beat the sea monsters in the nearby airspace like dumplings and drop them into the sea.

When the sea demons passed through the blockade of the net of cannons and got closer to the fleet, it was time for the muskets on the fleet to show their might. Warriors and sailors stood in rows on the deck with their muskets and fired fiercely at the sea demons in a three-point attack. This was the fleet’s third line of defense.

There were not many sea demons that could get past the three lines of defense and approach the fleet. When the sea demons really got close to the ship, under the protection of the shields and armor, the other warriors on the ship used their scythes, hooks, javelins, ghost-head blades, bows, and crossbows.

Amidst the raging winds and waves of the Sea of Chaos, the warriors and sailors on the ship sang orderly battle chants and laughed loudly. They fought the sea demons with a fearless boldness and passion. The coordination of hot weapons and cold weapons reached a perfect level, killing the sea demons who attacked the fleet. Such a scene infected Xia Pingan. He couldn’t help but join the battle and took a scythe spear. Together with the brave sailors of the fleet, they killed the sea demons.

Warriors and sailors who were injured in battle would be quickly carried away by the healers in the fleet. After being treated by the healers, they would quickly return to the battlefield full of vigor.

The sailors and warriors who were more seriously injured and could even render the doctors helpless would be brought to Zheng He. At this time, Zheng He would take out a golden box and solemnly open it. Inside the box was a shining treasure shaped like a tooth. With the light of the treasure, the sailors and warriors, no matter how seriously injured they were, would immediately recover.

Zheng He said that the treasure in the box was the most important treasure he had ever received from overseas during his many expeditions to the West–the Buddha Tooth Relic!

Under the protection of the Buddha Tooth Relic, everyone in Zheng He’s fleet had become as powerful as the Immortal Army to a certain extent.

Xia Ping ‘an and Zheng He’s fleet had been sailing on the Sea of Chaos for more than two months and had experienced more than ten battles. One day, after more than two months, Zheng He’s fleet arrived at a sea area in the Sea of Chaos. On the surface of the sea area, there was a Mayan-style golden pyramid with a circumference of more than 20 kilometers. It stood in the sea like a golden mountain, and at the top of the pyramid, there was a huge space door that was shining brightly. It could be seen from hundreds of miles away.

“Climb this pyramid and pass through the portal at the top of the pyramid. You will be able to leave the Chaotic Ocean. Behind that portal is the final test of the Ultimate Origin Shrine, the Endless Labyrinth.”Zheng He said to Xia Pingan.

“Thank you, Duke Zheng, and the brothers of the fleet for escorting us.”

After Xia Pingan bid farewell to the fleet, he boarded a small boat that was lowered from the treasure ship. The sailor who was steering the boat sent Xia Pingan to the edge of the pyramid. Xia Pingan jumped off the small boat and climbed up the steps of the pyramid. He followed the steps and walked directly to the top of the pyramid.

Xia Ping ‘an, who had reached the peak, turned around. On the surface of the sea, Zheng He’s fleet was still there. On Zheng He’s treasured ship, the Sun and Moon Flag was raised again. Zheng He stood on the highest deck of the treasured ship, facing the wind. He was looking at Xia Ping’ an from afar and waving at him. At this moment, the loud and clear sound of the horn in the fleet was the final farewell.

“Goodbye, Great Ming’s invincible fleet, goodbye, brave warriors who measured the entire planet!”Xia Ping ‘an waved at Zheng He and the fleet before turning around and walking into the portal behind him.

All kinds of lights flashed before his eyes. When the lights disappeared, Xia Ping ‘an realized that he was already in a strange place. This place was a huge circular hall. He was in the middle of the hall, and around the hall were two doors. They were right in front of him, one on the left and one on the right. The two doors were two spatial passages.

The two doors were still changing colors, one red and one blue.

” This is the most complicated Endless Labyrinth in the hall. No wonder it requires top-notch divination techniques to pass. Ordinary divination techniques are useless against the setup here…” Xia Pingan looked around, and his expression immediately became serious. Of the two doors in the hall, only one was correct. Walking through the correct door would lead to the next level of the maze, while the other door was wrong. Walking through the wrong door would only lead to two outcomes. If one was lucky, they would be teleported out of the Central-polar Divine Hall and could no longer enter. If one was unlucky, they would enter the death door when they died, and that would be the only way out. The colors of the two doors were changing. It meant that the accuracy of these two portals would change with time.

The Innate Great Wisdom Emperor God Light in Xia Ping ‘an’s eyes spun rapidly. He stared at the two doors for a while before walking over. When the door on the left lit up with red light, he stepped into the door on the left.

A second later, the red light dissipated. Xia Pingan, who had passed through the door, found himself in another hall. This hall was slightly larger than the previous one, and there were four doors in the hall, twice as many as the previous one. The light on each door was also constantly changing.

After locking onto a door, Xia Pingan entered it again.

The third hall, which was slightly larger, appeared before Xia Pingan’s eyes, and the doors in this hall had become eight. The difficulty of divination had doubled compared to the last time. If he were to rely purely on luck, the chance of entering the correct door here was only one in eight.

“As expected, the simpler the item, the harder it will be. According to the rules of this maze, the further you go, the harder it will be. In the end, the chance of finding the correct door by luck is almost zero!”Xia Pingan’s expression turned serious. He took a deep breath and stepped into another door.

There were now 16 doors in the fourth hall.

The hall of the fifth door became 32…

When Xia Pingan passed through the gates of the maze for the eighteenth time, what appeared in front of him was already a starry sky. In this starry sky, there were 262144 gates in front of him.

Based on his intuition, Xia Pingan knew that this should be the final stage of the maze. The correct door was only one of the 262144 doors..
