Chapter 598: Chapter 408: Shen Gongbao’s Opportunity and the Hundred Refinements Epoch_5

The Ark of Salvation reappeared, no longer as magnificent and vast as before, it appeared extremely dilapidated.

Setting aside those scars, even in the middle of the ship’s body, a very obvious huge crack had formed that seemed like one more crack deeper, and this giant ship would be snapped into two.

However dilapidated the giant ship was, the awe it commanded remained undiminished and still shook hearts.

From this, one could also see how fierce the battle had been for such a war fortress to be so severely damaged.

"Nearly ten epochs later, the Ark of Salvation reappeared in the world. Yet, in the new epoch, not a single artisan from the Hundred Arts Epoch can be found. Could this be the punishment destined for our Hundred Arts Epoch?"

While everyone was still immersed in the grandeur and sorrow of the Ark, a figure appeared at the prow of the ship.

This figure was somewhat strange, humanoid in shape, yet not a living being, but rather a mechanical puppet!

At this moment, many Supremes felt an aura from the mechanical puppet that was not weaker than that of a Supreme.

However, the mechanical puppet’s condition was not very good, missing its right arm, and it had even lost one of its eyes.

"May I ask who you are..." a Supreme approached and asked.

"I am an artifact created by the artisans of the Hundred Arts Epoch, you may call me Ark!" the mechanical puppet fluidly responded.

The Supremes were slightly shocked, as Ark for a name, it might indeed be the core of the Ark, something akin to a spirit of the vessel.

No wonder its aura was so powerful.

The Ark said, "My Hundred Arts Epoch excelled at mastering numerous arts and was able to abandon all else and devote itself to these arts, attempting with external forms, to peer into the Great Path, and withstand the Epoch’s calamity.

But in the end, it failed, leaving only a broken Ark of Salvation and the broken me!"

Though he was a man-made creation, everyone could see that he had his own consciousness, and his words were clearly filled with deep melancholia.

He was certainly unable to let go of the demise of the Hundred Arts Epoch.

At this moment, he appeared to be immersed in the glory of the bygone Hundred Arts Epoch.

After a while, Ark spoke again: "I have detected that the current Myriad Realms Epoch is the eighteenth epoch of the chaotic universe, and also the last.

The relics of the Hundred Arts Epoch have appeared in order to enhance the strength of the chaotic Myriad Realms.

I will open the Ark, and what opportunities you can get will depend on yourselves."

He was very candid; with no one from the Hundred Arts Epoch remaining, keeping the Ark of Salvation served no purpose, and moreover...

Qu Chen asked, "Lord Ark, I have a question: is the final control of the Ark of Salvation in the hands of the person who controls the core inheritance of the Hundred Arts Epoch?"

The Ark said, "Correct, the core’s choice is mainly focused on mastering the Hundred Arts, those proficient in them may come and try!"

Upon finishing, the ship, comparable to a Supreme World, slowly swayed, and an endless aura of chaos began converging towards it.

The minor scars on the ship started to heal in that very moment?

Not only that, with some filling of the Primordial Source, the larger scars were also slowly repairing.

At this moment, everybody was astonished!

"Is the Ark of Salvation repairing itself? It actually possesses such self-healing ability? Doesn’t this mean that if one is willing to pay the price, they can repair the broken Ark?"

"The Ark of Salvation is the zenith creation of the Hundred Arts Epoch, even Supremes would not dare to be disrespectful. Most importantly, I heard that once one becomes the master of the Ark, no matter the strength, one would be able to control the Ark and wield its mighty powers!"

"Wow!"

Everyone boiled with excitement.

The Ark’s trait of ignoring cultivation level stirred envy.

Even a Saint King or a Sovereign possessing the power to annihilate a Supreme sounded thrilling.

Then, accompanied by a shake, the Ark of Salvation radiated a faint light.

"Opportunity and danger coexist."

"The Ark carried the hopes of the Hundred Arts Epoch, and although it ultimately perished, it also left a thick mark in the river of time."

"Those who wish to inherit the Ark of Salvation must also shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Hundred Arts Epoch!"

The Ark’s voice faded and his figure slowly dissipated.

The next moment, countless figures rushed towards the Ark of Salvation.

Among them, the vast majority were masters of the Hundred Arts.

The Myriad Realms Epoch, Epoch of Decay, Secret Forces, various powerful beings swarmed towards it.

Who would want to miss such a creation?

Among those figures, there were also Supremes.

But among any group of Supremes, there was none who had mastered the Hundred Arts.

However, having lived through countless ages, they had more or less dabbled in some techniques and knowledge of the Hundred Arts.

They also wanted to try, they also wanted the Ark of Salvation.

Especially the Supreme of the Blue Waves, who could hardly contain himself any longer.

He had always been known as the weakest Supreme, mastering the least number of Divine Patterns.

Whether among the Supremes or some Peak Holy Sovereigns, he was always the one being compared.

That’s why the Supreme of the Blue Waves always maintained his dignity with his fierce actions.

Supremes need to comprehend Divine Patterns to enhance their realm.

The Supreme of the Blue Waves had spent countless years, but had not made much progress.

However, the appearance of the Ark of Salvation has given him hope again.

If he could control the Ark, he was willing to give everything to completely repair the Ark.

With that weapon under his control, he would be the strongest Supreme!
