Chapter 457: Terrifying Advancement
As one of the top explorers in the universe, the Captain of Exploration had conquered countless forbidden lands.
And this time, he wasn’t the first to receive the two rewards. This had stimulated his fighting spirit.
He began to explore the Cosmos God Domain Exploration with all his might.
As expected, the title of the Captain of Exploration didn’t come from bragging. Instead, he indeed relied on his own strength to achieve it step by step.
Five minutes ago, the exploration captain noticed that there was a slightly different dandelion tree,
His many years of exploration experience told him that this tree was not simple!
Therefore, he took out the axe specially used for field exploration and split the tree with a swing of the axe.
This tree was at least four meters tall and its trunk was also very hard.
However, for the exploration captain who had activated his superpower’s ‘Exploration State’, it was only a matter of one swing of the axe.
And his superpower had only been developed by 5%!
The exploration captain had many years of training experience and hard work. Rightfully his superpower should have been fully developed long ago.
However, in his plane, there was a saying.
There were many geniuses who had used power that exceeded his existing limit in times of crisis.
They had never completed their development and defeated the strong with the weak.
They were clearly so strong when they were young that they were able to defeat the strong with the weak, therefore their future must be very bright. They would definitely become stronger existences in the future.
However, in reality this was not the case. Such people often did not show their strength after the battle at the peak. In fact, they even gradually became dispirited.
Their strength would not increase for a long time and would remain at the same level for many years. In the end, they would be drowned in the crowd.
They would no longer be as high-spirited as they were when they were young.
This was because of the battle then, which their lives were at stake, they erupted with energy that they should not have then. The price of obtaining this energy was to sacrifice their potential! For the sake of a momentary energy, they would display strength that exceeded the existing limit of their abilities. This made it impossible for them to advance in the future.
They might not be able to become stronger in their entire lives!
People often said this was the situation that the exploration captain had encountered back then.
if he kept walking along the river, one day his shoes would definitely get wet.
And the exploration captain had been exploring all year round. After conquering so many forbidden lands, there would always be times when he would face danger.
Moreover, the greatest weakness of the exploration captain’s superpower was that it could only last for 10 days! Previously, the exploration captain had suffered such a loss!
During the 15th year exploration, the exploration captain’s superpower had been used continuously for more than 10 days and it was in the cooldown period. Just as the exploration captain was about to leave the forbidden land, he did not expect his enemy to be waiting outside for a long time.
“Captain of Exploration, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Hahahahahahaha! Can you still use your useless superpower? I’ve prepared for three years for today! I’ve been training hard these three years just to take revenge on you!” Thomas said.
Facing the enemy in front of him, the young Captain of Exploration then was extremely surprised.
This could be considered his enemy because the exploration captain had indirectly caused the death of Thomas’s entire plane.
Three years ago…
The Captain of Exploration had just debuted. He loved exploration and wanted to explore any dangerous place. For this reason, he had traveled to many planes.
The more he was not allowed to enter, the more he wanted to enter the place.
Thomas’s plane was one of them. That place was their plane’s sacred land.
There had always been a prophecy that once an outsider entered the sacred land, it would lead to an inevitable catastrophe that would affect the entire plane!
Thomas’s plane had always adhered to this principle. It had always been strictly guarding the sacred land, not daring to let outsiders enter.
It was even impossible for others to even look at the entrance.
It just so happened that the young exploration captain traveled to the vicinity of that plane, and it also just so happened that there was a plane that had wanted to use others to wipe out Thomas’s plane.
Therefore, they revealed to the exploration captain that Thomas’s plane had a forbidden land which no one had ever entered.
Countless people had wanted to explore it, but no one was able to come out from thre.
Hearing that this place was so challenging, the exploration captain was instantly energized.
He must explore that forbidden land!
He must conquer that forbidden land!
This idea was lingering in the exploration captain’s mind.
Therefore, he borrowed a spaceship and flew to Thomas’s plane alone.
After traveling in space for four days, he finally arrived at Thomas’s plane.
As soon as he got off the spaceship, he started asking around about the forbidden land.
This attracted everyone’s attention.
What was this guy trying to do?
Soon the news reached Thomas’s ears.
Thomas was the son of the plane’s leader. His duty had always been to guard the forbidden land!
Ordinary citizens and guards were no match for the exploration captain.
Seeing how rude the people of this plane were, the young and arrogant exploration captain struck heavily.
He fought and won all the way.
He then directly fought his way to the entrance of the forbidden land.
Thomas was extremely shocked when he saw this. He thought to himself, “You actually intruded my territory even before I went to see a thief like you!”
Thomas directly went up against the exploration captain!
Unfortunately, the exploration captain came from a stronger plane and had a richer foundation. This was something that a small plane like Thomas’s could not compare to.
Therefore, even if Thomas was the strongest young man in this plane, he was still not a match for the exploration captain.
Thomas was directly sent flying by the exploration captain and was smashed into the entrance of the sacred place!
This was a great humiliation!
Thomas ignored the fact that he was still spitting out blood as he struggled to stand up.
The exploration captain directly came up and knocked him down again.
“I have no other intentions. Don’t stop me from exploring!”
With that, he entered the sacred land of Thomas’s plane.
Thomas glared fiercely at the figure of the exploration captain who entered.
He felt angry and ashamed, but there was nothing he could do.
The exploration captain entered the legendary sacred land with satisfaction.
However, there was nothing inside there that he wanted. It was not a forbidden land at all!
There was also nothing worth exploring.
There was only an active volcano standing quietly inside.
The exploration captain still did not give up. He thought to himself that he had spent so much effort to enter this place, but in the end, there was no forbidden land.
The exploration captain recalled what the person from the other plane had told him, which was no one who went there could come out. But if there was only this volcano, why couldn’t they come out? There was also no risk imposed at the moment.
Could there be something wrong with this volcano? With this thought in mind, the exploration captain continued to approach the volcano. This volcano was indeed different from ordinary volcanoes.
Could it be that the entrance to the arcane realm was above the volcano?
With this speculation in mind, the exploration captain had wanted to climb up the volcano.
As a result, as the exploration captain had just taken a step towards the volcano…
The seemingly calm volcano made a loud noise.
The volcano was about to erupt!
The exploration captain quickly turned around and rushed out.
This volcano then spewed out lava!
The lava spread wildly in all directions!
And the volume of the lava spewed out definitely exceeded the volume of the entire volcano!
