Sailing at Sea: The Breath of the Day at the Start

"You are too arrogant, and that is your weakness."

Ron said calmly. He quickly made his move, trying to kill the other party, but he didn't expect that when he exerted force, he found that he had grabbed a scarecrow.

The man's voice rang out behind Ron.

"The truly arrogant one is you. Did you really think I would walk up to you without any guard up?"

Ron turned around and saw the man standing behind him, smiling at him. Ron's heart sank to the bottom. He immediately knew that things might be very difficult for him now.

Sure enough, the man suddenly attacked, and a terrifying energy swept towards Ron. Now the opponent had no intention of holding back at all. Ron immediately felt his breath catch in his throat. He frantically retreated, trying to neutralize this power, but this power was obviously very strong and also emitted an extreme temperature.

Ron felt himself immersed in this temperature, as if he were being burned. This burning from the soul caused him great pain. Zuo Tianyiyun saw Ron from the side and said helplessly.

"You should get out of here quickly and don't worry about me anymore. Once you leave, you'll definitely have a chance to fight back. You should be able to stop him and prevent him from killing more people."

Ron shook his head and said.

“More people means more strength. We will not easily abandon our comrades. Although we haven’t known each other for very long, I have come to understand that only when our strength is strong enough can we perfectly stop him. I must save you, no matter what difficulties we face.”

After saying that, Ron clenched his fists and stood up with difficulty. Although the flames from the other party burned his soul, he gritted his teeth and persevered. He could feel the energy in his body surging again.

These energies were very strange. When he encountered danger, those energies seemed to suddenly become very bizarre. Ron didn't know where this change came from, but he could feel those energies surging wildly and slowly accumulating in front of him.

This energy had a protective effect against the flames, although the energy was quickly burned away by the flames. However, Ron was able to generate this energy continuously, and he quickly moved in that direction.

The man stared coldly at Ron and said...

"Stop struggling in vain. No matter how hard you struggle, you will always be the loser."

Ron said.

"Is that so? But I can feel my power becoming incredibly vast, and my spirit becoming incredibly strong. I will stop you no matter what, whether I win or lose."

At this point, Ron had gotten incredibly close to the man. The man was shocked that Ron could withstand his endless phoenix fire and even get close to him. However, he could also see that Ron's condition was very bad, and he had almost no energy left in his body.

"Do you really think this reckless behavior will kill me?"

The man smiled faintly.

"You've proven to be incredibly naive. Now, I'll show you what death tastes like."

Before he finished speaking, a ball of energy suddenly appeared in his hand. This ball of energy contained not only the Phoenix Fire, but also the Myriad Souls Technique. These two most powerful attacks were fused together. He slowly handed this energy to Ron.

Chapter 53, The Mechanist

Three days later they found the maker of the mechanism.

The maker of the mechanism handed Zuo Tianyiyun a birdcage-like object.

Ron said with some surprise.

"Can this thing really hold people in place?"

The man patted his chest and said.

"It contains immense energy. Once you suck the other person into its cage, they will never be able to escape."

Zuo Tianyi fiddled with the cage in his hand and said.

"We plan to try it out, but we don't know how to use it."

The maker of the mechanism took the cage over and opened it.

Suddenly, with a wave of his hand, a strange rune appeared on his palm.

Then a person not far away was absorbed into it.

Ron and the others saw the person shrink infinitely.

He struggled desperately in the cage, but no matter how hard he tried, the cage didn't budge.

"That's what the maker of the mechanism said."

"There are more than 18,000 mechanisms inside this cage, and you could trigger any of them at any step."

The mechanism would trap him in an endless loop.

He then opened the cage again and released the man.

The man glared at the maker of the mechanism, looking utterly pathetic, but dared not utter a word of anger.

Zuo Tianyiyun said with great approval.

"This thing does look really powerful."

He then thanked the maker again and prepared to leave with Ron.

The producer of the mechanism suddenly called out to Zuo Tianyiyun, and said...

"Although I don't need to pay for the mechanisms I built for you, I've run into a problem lately and I'd like to ask you for a favor."

Zuo Tianyiyun said.

"But it doesn't matter."

The man frowned and said.

"It seems like there's been an energy lingering around me lately, as if it wants to take over my soul."

But I tried everything I could to get him to leave.

Ron frowned slightly.

When did this happen?

The man pondered for a moment.

"It just happened suddenly after I took on this job with you."

He looked at Ron and the others with great anticipation, but there seemed to be a hint of fear in his eyes.

Zuo Tianyi frowned as he spoke.

"But what exactly is going on?"

Ron looked at the cage in his hand and said.

"Perhaps it's the soul that guy released that's interfering with him."

Zuo Tianyi's eyes widened as he spoke.

"How is this possible? That guy has already been imprisoned by us, how could he possibly release his soul?"

Ron said.

"Don't forget his specialty, the Myriad Souls Technique, which is to absorb those souls."

He must have a way to secretly control these souls.

Zuo Tianyi said with a hint of helplessness.

"But what should we do? Even if we lock his physical body in this cage, he will still harass us in the form of a spirit."

Ron stared ahead, his gaze hardening.

"In that case, let's obliterate his soul as well."

Ron then looked at the maker of the mechanism.

"Could you take us to the place where you manufactured your machinery?"

The man thought for a moment, and then he said...

"That place is not usually shown to people easily, but since it's for the sake of resolving this matter, I'll take you to see it."

With that, he led the way.

Ron and Zuo Tianyi followed closely behind him.

Throughout his journey, Ron could always sense a strange energy swirling around him.

But when he tried to sense it carefully, he found that all that energy had disappeared.

Ron whispered to Zuo Tianyiyun.

“I can sense that those souls are indeed nearby, but they have now concealed their presence.”

He probably knew we were here.

Zuo Tianyiyun said.

"This guy is really cunning."

After navigating a winding path, they finally saw the place where the mechanism was made.

The area was very spacious, and various manufacturing equipment was placed all around.

Ron also glanced at the tools and was secretly amazed, not expecting that these mechanisms were such intricate works.

The maker of the mechanism said with some helplessness.

"Because not many people come here usually, we haven't cleaned it up. Please excuse the mess."

Ron shook his head and walked around the area, constantly sensing the energy around him.

He quickly detected a familiar energy aura, which was attached to a small piece of iron.
