Chapter 11

“Crackling sparks on Mars, bang bang…” Although Shawn Carter was still quite dazed, the threat was right in front of him. In an instant, he darted aside, using the cluttered surroundings to dodge the opponent’s grasp, and in a flash, he was already at the side. His hands moved even faster than his opponent’s, immediately switching from defense to offense.

The opponent’s strength was clearly at the peak of the Human Spring stage, and of the strongest kind—his power faintly rivaled the early Earth Spring stage, with an exceptionally fierce momentum. But seeing that he had no sign of life at all, and that his movements, though forceful, lacked agility, Shawn Carter immediately took advantage of this, using his speed to counterattack even more decisively and ferociously.

Sure enough, the battered soldier lifted his leg and turned, showing seasoned experience and using his side to block just in time, but he still wasn’t agile enough. Meanwhile, Shawn Carter’s hands were like those flying sparks, feinting and striking, fast and fierce.

He blocked a small part, but most of the blows landed on him. However, this guy’s body was incredibly tough; he only leaned back from the impact, but then used the force of the blow to flip his body, his legs exploding with terrifying power as he kicked at Shawn Carter, his hands slamming into the ground to propel himself, using his legs as weapons and his hands to push off the ground, instantly reversing and charging at Shawn Carter.

“Yah… boom…” But as Shawn Carter launched his barrage, he was already prepared. Now he reacted even faster, his power flowing smoothly, Human Spring energy surging, his body responding swiftly. With a burst of magic under his feet, he leapt straight into the air, almost breaking through the roof. He was directly above the soldier, and as the soldier charged forward, Shawn Carter spun in midair and delivered a kick straight down onto the guy’s head.

With a loud bang, he smashed the guy heavily into the ground, blasting a deep pit into the floor. Debris flew everywhere, some even piercing the walls and windows.

This was definitely a lethal attack, but Shawn Carter didn’t dare let his guard down. As he descended, he kept his eyes on the ground below, channeling his power to the limit and staying alert.

But at that moment, the soldier who had just been kicked in the head by Shawn Carter had his skull shattered, and after crashing heavily to the ground, his body suddenly began to disintegrate.

No way, what’s going on? That’s not a real body, is it?

“Whoosh!” Before Shawn Carter could figure it out, the soldier’s body suddenly turned into a stream of light and shot back into the golden vortex beneath the Human Spring in Shawn Carter’s lower dantian.

“What the…” As Shawn Carter was falling, his feet hadn’t even touched the ground, but his eyes were already fixed on the golden vortex beneath his lower dantian’s Human Spring. What was happening?

“Boom…” An even faster change occurred. Suddenly, the golden vortex spun wildly, and at the same time, a massive vortex appeared in the sky, covering several kilometers around.

“What the hell is going on?” Shawn Carter’s eyes widened as he stood there, looking up. Even though there was a roof, it couldn’t block the sight of the enormous golden vortex in the sky, covering several kilometers, identical to the golden vortex beneath his lower dantian’s Human Spring—just countless times larger.

It was spinning the same way, at the same speed, even the sound of wind and thunder inside was the same…

“Whoosh…” Before Shawn Carter could observe anything else, the gigantic golden vortex that had suddenly appeared in the sky generated a tremendous suction force, instantly pulling Shawn Carter’s body into it.

Shawn Carter had no resistance at all, not even time to react—he vanished from where he stood.

“What the…” At this point, Shawn Carter was completely stunned. The golden vortex inside him had suddenly stirred, spat out a fierce warrior, and after he smashed the warrior’s head, it turned into points of light and merged into the golden vortex. Then, a gigantic vortex appeared in the sky and sucked him in. What kind of situation was this?

Everything happened so fast, there was no time to think. Only in the instant he was sucked away did the scenes that had just happened flash through Shawn Carter’s mind…

“Bang!” He crashed down hard, even more painfully than falling onto iron rock. Even though Shawn Carter had prepared himself and was channeling his strongest power, he still grimaced, feeling as if his butt was about to split into eight pieces.

But no matter how much it hurt, Shawn Carter had no time to care. He immediately checked his surroundings. After all, he hadn’t yet broken through the barrier between the Three Springs and the Heaven-Human stage, nor reached the Six Seas realm where he could rule the world and possess divine sense. He could only rely on his keen senses and eyes to observe.

What he saw left him sitting there in a daze, forgetting even the pain in his butt.

Vast and boundless palaces, looming above layers of clouds and mist. Those clouds and mist… why did they look so familiar? That’s right, wasn’t this the innate primal spirit energy his ancestor had bestowed upon him before?

To confirm, Shawn Carter immediately checked the wisp of innate primal spirit energy still in his Human Spring. Yes, it was exactly the same. Only, the energy here was even purer, already condensed into clouds and mist, completely incomparable to the faint wisp of innate spiritual energy in his own body.
