Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls Chapter 713 - 351: Extraordinary Transformation of the Sea Ship, Level 50 Talent Ability (2)

Following a process akin to a carp breaching the formidable Dragon Gate, they endured a colossal tribulation before finally transforming into Dragon Ships.

While detailed accounts of Dragon Ships were scarce on online forums, certain inhabitants of this realm had documented the entire metamorphosis.

Legend dictates that when a sea vessel reaches the peak of its Extraordinary Transformation, its carp form can progress no further. It must then violently tear itself asunder, giving rise to new life from the remnants of its demise, allowing the carp to shatter its confines and emerge as a Dragon Ship.

However, this critical stage is fraught with extreme peril.

Furthermore, the more intense the ship's mutation, the greater the amount of energy required to fracture its existing shell.

Rebirth from such a deathly ordeal is exponentially more dangerous than an ordinary ship's ascension into a Dragon Ship!

"Behold, the scales adorning our vessel are now a lustrous golden hue!"

"Incredible!"

"They truly possess a light golden sheen!"

Several crew members cranized their necks, their gazes locked onto the ship's hull, erupting in astonished exclamations.

Even Fang Yu turned his attention to his ship, and indeed, under the sun's brilliant rays, he observed the ship's scales radiating a dazzling golden glow.

"Does this signify anything particular?"

Fang Yu queried, his brow furrowed in curiosity, as he casually pulled Luu Yuan to his side.

"Captain!"

Luu Yuan's face beamed with delight as he responded, "There is a record pertaining to this in the tome 'A Comprehensive Exposition of Sea Vessel Stages'."

"Although it represents a mutation, the ship manifests distinct characteristics dependent on the caliber of its Extraordinary Magic Stone."

"The lowest tier presents as pale white, with scales that are exceedingly brittle and offer virtually no defensive capability."

"Following that is light blue, a marginal improvement over pale white, yet still quite limited, barely meeting the threshold of acceptability."

"Excellent specimens are marked by black scales. The Extraordinary Magic Stone from the three-headed demonic dragon we procured earlier, and Zhang Yi's Dragon Ship, were adorned with black scales, typically endowing them with certain unique abilities and respectable defense."

"Surpassing that is the superior grade, appearing as metallic gray-silver, boasting scales of formidable defense and remarkable resilience."

"Beyond this level..."

"Lies the realm of myth!"

"In legend, scales manifest as red, obsidian, or violet hues... These are all designated as mutated dragons, representing a higher bloodline within Dragon Ships."

"And the golden..."

Luu Yuan paused, lowering his voice to a near whisper, and softly declared, "It signifies an epoch!"

"An epoch?"

Fang Yu appeared startled by the pronouncement.

"Precisely, an epoch!"

"According to the chronicles, the vessel belonging to the Chief Judge bore golden dragon scales. Moreover, during the Alchemy Era, the emblem of the era's leader was likewise golden, and practitioners known as Spiritualists formed golden Spirit Pills within their Dantians."

Luu Yuan's revelations drew gasps of awe from the surrounding crew, their eyes alight with wonder:

"Yuan, is this truly factual?"

"An epoch... What does this portend? Are we on the cusp of initiating a new era?"

"Indeed, I've come to realize that I am the hidden child of this era, fate's chosen one."

"Perfect, my grand designation is Era, and my cherished moniker is Fate."

A crewmate standing nearby cast a sideways glance at the speaker and casually quipped.

"???"

"You pompous simpleton, prepare to witness true authority!"

...

"Epoch?"

Disregarding the crew's fervent excitement, Fang Yu shook his head and promptly employed the ship's illusionary capabilities, camouflaging his vessel as if it bore black scales.

Having already garnered considerable renown, openly displaying golden dragon scales would inevitably attract a deluge of unwelcome scrutiny.

Conversely, if the scales appeared merely pale white, even the most obtuse observer would discern that he was concealing his true might.

Thus, he opted for the appearance of black dragon scales – a strategy designed to evade undue attention while simultaneously avoiding any semblance of weakness, embodying the essence of true discretion.

As for Luu Yuan's pronouncements regarding being the harbinger of an epoch, Fang Yu remained unconvinced.

He held no belief in predestined fates or the notion of being favored by destiny. The manifestion of golden dragon scales on his ship was, in his estimation, largely attributable to its lineage from the progenitor sacred dragon.

The individual who once bore the legacy of the Sacred Dragon Stone had previously held the title of Master of the Times; consequently, it came as no surprise that upon its transference to him, golden dragon scales would appear.

It was merely an indicator of superior tier and capability, and to extrapolate notions of fate or destiny from this was, in his opinion, a baseless conjecture.

With the ship's appearance drastically altered, Fang Yu gave a nod of evident satisfaction.

...

Shortly thereafter, the vessel reached the harbor of Nanhui City and berthed.

His intention was to allow the crew a period of recuperation.

Not only had Fang Yu himself undergone advancement, but the crew had also experienced significant improvements.

A profound and intrinsic connection existed between the ship and its crew.

With the ship's ascension, all its crew members reaped substantial benefits. Their auras had surged dramatically, and upon entering their mutation state, a layer of light golden dragon scales materialized upon their bodies, presenting an awe-inspiring and potent spectacle.

Their individual strength and collective aura had been elevated to an entirely new echelon.

However, upon witnessing this situation, Fang Yu instructed Ma to acquire supplies to mask these irregularities and distribute them among the crew.

The ship was to be concealed, but what about the crew—wouldn't that be akin to covering one's ears while absconding with a bell? A true concealment requires absolute thoroughness.

If anything was to be hidden, it ought to be done completely.

With Fang Yu's substantial grant of 500 Gold Coins, Ma promptly disembarked and made his way to the marketplace to procure the necessary concealment items.

As for Fang Yu, he remained within the confines of the Meditation Room, diligently pursuing his cultivation progress.

With keen anticipation, he first turned his attention to observing the manifestation of his own talent upon achieving level 50.

Negation. Second Awakening: This grants the user the ability to nullify one enemy ability. This applies to any skill, provided the user has previously witnessed the enemy employ it. The cooldown period is 1 day, and the duration of the effect is also 1 day.

Upon beholding the newly acquired ability from his second awakening, Fang Yu's eyes gleamed with internal delight.

The Negation talent, despite its concise description, possessed immense significance!

During his initial awakening phase, Fang Yu had gained the power to negate events affecting himself.

While remarkable, that ability had certain restrictions and tended to be overly passive.

Now, however, he could nullify an enemy's ability—a profoundly proactive development. Whenever an opponent unleashed a particularly troublesome skill, he could completely negate it, rendering that specific ability unusable for the enemy for an entire day.

For instance, knowing that Yuanqi still possessed five pages of the "Ocean Scripture" featuring a movement prohibition, negating Yuanqi's "prohibition" skill would render these pages as mere waste paper for a full day.

Should Fang Yu encounter any formidably challenging abilities in the future, he could employ negation to effectively neutralize them.

His awakening process had concluded successfully, leaving Fang Yu thoroughly satisfied.

After thoroughly examining the results of his second-stage talent awakening, Fang Yu did not hesitate to retrieve three precious Radiant Star Stones from his possession and place them before him.

In the ensuing moment, the Power Level within Fang Yu began to circulate silently, causing the three Advanced Radiant Star Stones laid out before him to radiate brilliant light. They then liquefied, flowing like streams of light, and were absorbed into Fang Yu's being.

As the Advanced Radiant Star Stones integrated with his body, Fang Yu perceived that certain "genes" within him were undergoing an evolution, empowered by this influx of energy.

Foremost among these was the Stacked Energy Bullet.

In its intermediate evolutionary stage, the Stacked Energy Bullet had bestowed upon Fang Yu the capability to store energy within firearms.

This enabled a powerful, explosive discharge, akin to a hidden trump card, by accumulating immense energy within the gun.

Now, with the infusion of power from the Radiant Star Stones, Fang Yu's Stacked Energy Bullet underwent a complete metamorphosis.

[Void Bullet (0/10)]

Effect One: All associated abilities along the evolutionary path are no longer restricted to firearm weaponry. Instead, they can be accumulated and released in the vicinity of the user.

Effect Two: The user can unleash Void Bullets simultaneously, up to a number equal to 1X the quantity of Lord Ability Levels, which currently stands at 77 shots.

Effect Three: When Void Bullets are discharged, the subsequent Void Bullet produced will gain an additional 10% of the Power Level from the preceding bullet.

Witnessing the Stacked Energy Bullet transform into an Advanced Extraordinary Ability under the influence of the Radiant Star Stones, Fang Yu felt a surge of pleasure.

With a mere gesture, numerous bullets radiating a dark luminescence materialized in the void before him.

These projectiles could be fired instantly or further charged for an even more devastating subsequent release.

The resultant power was exponentially greater than its previous iteration.

Furthermore, Fang Yu's abilities, [Shadow Substitute] and [Shield], also underwent modifications, manifesting as follows:...
