Chapter 230: Final BOSS Lu Yu! An Alliance Sensation Strike! Crimson Emperor's Void-Devouring! |
“When Lu Yu was eighteen and had just awakened his talent, both his parents died. I heard they didn't even leave much money behind.
It was Hell Mode, yet he still made it this far. Truly, if you can't make it, you can't blame society!”
“I’ve already recorded his ‘Next one’ to use as my ringtone.
It’ll motivate me!”
“Aren’t you afraid it’ll go off when you’re with your girlfriend?”
“Damn, are you some kind of Devil?”
“Speaking of which, is there any possibility that Lu Yu has the bloodline of an Ancient King? Otherwise, I really have no excuse to console myself for being such a waste!”
“…”
All the viewers in the venue were already Numb. To put it with High EQ, their threshold for excitement had been raised by Lu Yu.
They couldn't even be bothered to watch ordinary matches anymore. After all, the fights weren't even as interesting as their Aftermath.
But watching Lu Yu…
It was like watching a rerun. Every challenger either surrendered or was hit with an Instant Kill, leaving only one phrase in everyone’s mind: “Next one!”
It was cool, but there was too little content!
Even when normal people watch action flicks, they need a bit of plot to make it interesting.
A little mystery makes it more thrilling!
The crucial thing was that you couldn't blame Lu Yu, only his opponents for being too weak!
“That’s eleven wins in a row. The twelfth match should be about the same.
I’ll go grace some other contestants with my attention for now!”
Just as most people looked away, ready to find some other Amusement, someone suddenly exclaimed:
“Wait! Lu Yu’s opponent this time is him!”
The crowd looked over in unison, and after getting a clear look at the challenger, their faces showed surprise.
Opposite Lu Yu, a young man with short brown hair and black-framed glasses appeared, wearing a moon-colored, standard-issue robe.
Although he looked clean and tidy, Lu Yu could smell a familiar scent.
Machine Oil!
In other words…
He’s a Mechanic!
But unlike the Pure Mechanical Power Faction Lu Yu had seen before, the scent of Machine Oil on this person was fainter, mixed with an unconcealable Rust-sweet Aura, as if…
It was Blood!
Not fresh, but more like it had been absorbed after long exposure to an environment of flesh and blood, marinated to the core!
A bloody scent with a hint of rot!
With that, he could basically rule out the Pure Mechanical Power Faction.
The Steam Faction preferred barbecue and steamed dishes.
As for the Electronic Calculation Faction, their immense computational power gave them a strong desire for control over their surroundings.
Aside from a few who could operate with cardboard and inserted cards, most of them were from the Neat Freak Clan!
The three branch factions—the Mechanical Battle Armor Faction, the Gear Faction, and the Electromagnetic Faction—didn't fit either.
Then, that only left…
Lu Yu said thoughtfully, “The Blood-Machine Faction?”
Although the Mechanical Gu Order, which revered natural selection and the law of the jungle, was also a possibility, Lu Yu trusted his intuition more!
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to gather intelligence; it was just that there was no point in memorizing a bunch of opponents he was going to Instant Kill in a mere Beginner’s Cup.
The most crucial thing was… intelligence cost money!
Favored by the God of Poverty, he only had a few thousand coins in his pocket, enough to buy his own autographed photo!
Hmm…
Lu Yu had just seen someone in the audience selling them, and he himself had no idea who signed them!
The most crucial thing was that they weren't even giving him a cut.
They had already found the path to their own demise!
“Mystic Realm God of War, your Reputation is well-deserved!”
The young man nodded in acknowledgment.
His movements were elegant, yet carried a hint of a Capitalist's refined hypocrisy as he smiled and said:
“I am from the Blood-Machine Faction—Li Yonglian!”
“I’ve heard much about you!” Lu Yu said seriously, then turned his ear to listen to the commentary from the omniscient passersby.
Freeloading intelligence was the best kind!
“His surname is Li, so he’s likely a descendant of the Blood-Machine Faction’s helmsman, Li Wuxian!”
“Li Yonglian… sounds a bit familiar.
I remember now! A friend from the Machine King Domain told me about him. He’s a terrifying guy, extremely talented in both mechanical modification and combat.
He’s one of the strongest of the younger generation in the City of Order, and most importantly… he’s rich! Super rich!”
“So what if he’s rich? Unless he gives me VIP Level 50, I’ll just be a Hater who resents the rich!”
“The Blood-Machine Faction… I remember they pursue a symbiosis of flesh and machine. It seems Lu Yu’s Dragon Ant has already achieved that, right?”
“Lu Yu effortlessly achieved something their faction has pursued for centuries.
Isn’t that a bit too much like a Drama?”
“In that case, the Blood-Machine Faction must be eager to study the Dragon Ant in Lu Yu’s hands. They’ll probably make a wager!”
“If it weren’t for the fear that Li Yonglian’s own spirituality couldn’t keep up, making him susceptible to Reverse Corrosion and causing his human body to undergo Rust-Aberration, I feel like the Li Family might just spend their way into creating a Moonlight Rank Mechanical Beast!”
“This guy is also one of the championship favorites.
Compared to Wang Yan's pet beasts, mechanical types are more adaptable. After all, a body of flesh and blood still needs training, and can even have congenital deficiencies or be countered by certain attributes.
But he can just load an Anti-Void Module. Against the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant, he can load a Shock Absorption Module.
I heard there’s even a specialized Anti-Dragon Module.
These things are astronomically expensive for an ordinary Mechanic, but for a descendant of the Blood-Machine Faction’s top figure, it’s just Small change!”
“A Grease Monkey going pay-to-win! That’s just cheating!”
“…”
Although the crowd was snarking, their eyes were filled with excitement.
A complete Crush is satisfying, but a match between equals is what’s truly interesting!
Especially with a Formidable Character like this, a Mechanic who got strong by paying, combined with the wealthiest Blood-Machine Faction—it’s an unbeatable combination!
In these ten battles, Lu Yu had already shown most of his basic abilities. For a Mechanic, it was entirely possible to formulate a targeted strategy!
It was a bit despicable, but as long as one could control the corresponding pet beast, Imperial Capital University wouldn't prohibit it!
This world was inherently unfair!
On a real battlefield, no one would follow the rules with you.
Losing in the arena was, at most, embarrassing!
But losing on the battlefield meant losing your life!
What made the crowd even more interested was that not only was Lu Yu a Dark Horse for the championship and in direct competition with Li Yonglian, but the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant in his possession was suspected to be close to the Perfect Life that the Machine King Domain pursued!
This was equivalent to someone already having a high-performance airplane while you were still studying the principles of flight.
You might not understand the principle, but that doesn't stop you from using it!
But in the eyes of a group of Mechanics, this was a huge waste.
Once they thoroughly studied it, they could reverse-engineer it and mass-produce it.
As for whether accidents might happen in the process?
Hmm…
Scientific research is always accompanied by sacrifice!
Beautifully termed: becoming a cornerstone of a new era!
As a beneficiary, one wouldn't care, but when it's your turn to be the sacrifice, you can't help but say, "To hell with that!"
Li Yonglian understood this as well.
Worried that Lu Yu would resist because of it, he put on a gentle smile and said sincerely:
“A simple match is too boring. Let’s add a Wager.
If you win, I’ll give you thirty million Alliance Coins. But if you lose, I don’t need money.
I just need your Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant to enter the Blood-Machine Faction’s top laboratory and cooperate with research for half a month. I can guarantee on the honor of the Blood-Machine Faction that it won’t be harmed!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire venue was in an uproar!
Not everyone was rich.
Thirty million was no small sum, even for a Morning Star Rank Beast Tamer!
It could be used to purchase a large amount of materials, allowing their pet beasts' strength to reach the next level!
Many people asked themselves if they could resist this temptation!
The answer was likely…
No!
After all, it was just cooperating with research, not being dissected. On the contrary, with the money, their pet beasts could progress even faster!
“I finally see why I could tell at a glance that you’re not from the Mechanical Gu Order, but from the Blood-Machine Faction!” Lu Yu rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully, “After all, seeing you is like a Leek reeking of money delivering itself to my doorstep!”
Li Yonglian wasn't angry about being compared to a leek; he just smiled and said:
“How about this? I can add another condition.
Even if you lose, as long as you cooperate with the research, you can still take the thirty million. Then you’ll be able to buy more materials for all your pet beasts and they’ll grow faster.
Did you know? Although the Blood-Machine Faction has been consistently producing results that sell well throughout the Alliance, our own path has stagnated for nearly fifty years. That’s why we are in urgent need of a new direction.
When we find it, the entire Alliance will benefit.
So, as long as you agree to this Wagered Duel, regardless of whether you win or lose, you will gain the friendship of our Blood-Machine Faction, and you will have contributed to the advancement of the Alliance’s Technology!”
His tone was calm, but the content was extremely arrogant!
He directly represented the entire Machine King Domain with the Blood-Machine Faction, confident that he could promote the Alliance's technological development, and from beginning to end…
He never thought Lu Yu would win!
But the crowd couldn’t muster much aversion towards him, because this guy had firmly seized the moral high ground!
And now, many ordinary people also benefited from the technological products of the Machine King Domain.
In fact, in many cases, the improvement in living standards wasn't due to anyone's rule, but simply because…
Of an increase in productivity!
And a breakthrough for the Blood-Machine Faction might improve the living standards of most people and further reduce the pressure on the border!
It might even…
Kick off a new Great Expedition!
Moreover, the use of infinite energy could solidify Teleportation Arrays between different worlds, allowing for the mining of more resources!
To draw sustenance from all worlds to nourish oneself!
“The Blood-Machine Faction, full of Benevolence and Righteousness, but in reality, it's all business!” one of the five teachers, Xiao Ling, couldn't help but shake her head.
As expected of the most commercialized mechanical faction, a thorough merchant's mindset.
No threats, but an analysis of pros and cons, with an attitude of looking out for the other party.
Li Shu snarked, “As expected, all Capitalists are Devils.
They should all be Hung from a Lamppost!”
Mao Guixian propped her chin on one hand, her full, matronly figure on full display, and giggled, saying:
“But the match rules never forbade making deals in the arena!”
Shang Yuguang nodded in agreement, “A transaction is also a part of Resourcefulness!”
The Arena Tournament had never forbidden bribing opponents!
Anything not explicitly forbidden is permitted!
Imperial Capital University wasn't just looking at combat ability, but also a student's mindset, wisdom, how they handled situations, and so on!
As long as it wasn’t too despicable and didn’t violate Public Order and Good Customs, success was the ultimate reason!
Yue Hao pushed up his glasses, also very curious about what decision Lu Yu would make.
Normally, one should choose a Win-win situation!
He could even use this as a condition to make Li Yonglian surrender, thus maintaining first place and getting the highest score!
Luo Zisong watched this scene quietly, murmuring in his heart:
'Lu Yu, what will you do?'
“So, have you made a decision?”
Li Yonglian was full of confidence, unable to believe that after all he'd said, the other party would still refuse!
Many of the spectators in the venue were also quite moved, looking at Lu Yu with a mix of envy, jealousy, and hate.
How did Lu Yu get all the good things!
He not only crushes his opponents in a match, but someone is also scrambling to give him money!
A true Winner in life!
“The conditions are very favorable…” Lu Yu nodded and said with a smile:
“But, I refuse!”
The entire audience was in an uproar, not expecting Lu Yu to make the most foolish decision!
Many people started discussing it, feeling that this person was too Selfish!
Li Yonglian’s smile, which had shown that everything was under control, suddenly froze. He frowned and said:
“Why?”
Lu Yu chuckled, “Because that’s my companion, who I spend every day with.
I need to add… whoops, wrong line. To put it bluntly, would you put your mom or your sister up as a wager?”
“I’m very short on money, and I can accept a monetary bet, but I won’t bet with my pet beast.
As for the so-called guarantee of safety, you’re just a Mechanic who has just reached the Morning Star Rank. Can you represent the Blood-Machine Faction?”
“I…” Li Yonglian was at a loss for words, unable to refute it, because right now he was just an insignificant figure in the faction!
Lu Yu continued:
“What if you suddenly claim a laboratory accident? As an ordinary person from a Grassroots background, how could I fight your Blood-Machine Faction? Isn’t it a little too late to regret it after I’ve already lost everything?”
As his voice fell, the entire venue fell silent!
Hearing this answer, Luo Zisong let out a long breath.
Looking at Lu Yu's figure, he laughed and cursed:
“This kid has Successfully showed off again!”
“No wonder he could gain the recognition of the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant!” Xiao Ling exclaimed in amazement.
“This is the true Bond between a Beast Tamer and their pet beast.
Children are indeed so pure!” Mao Guixian smiled, her gaze towards Lu Yu softening a little.
Li Shu said with a smile, “No wonder the Blood-Machine Faction is stagnating.
They always try to solve problems with money, but they forget that some things can’t be influenced by it. This kid, he’s clearly a good fit for our Combat Department!”
Shang Yuguang rolled his eyes, speechless.
“By your logic, this kid’s Willpower is firm, making him a great fit for the Magic Potion Department!”
“Actually, the Nurturing Department isn’t a bad choice either. His bond with his pet beasts is definitely deep!”
“…”
“It seems I was the petty one!” Yue Hao laughed self-deprecatingly, a hint of anticipation now in his eyes as he looked at Lu Yu.
The audience, the netizens in the live broadcast room, and others all had complex expressions. Many pet beasts raised their heads, looking at Lu Yu with worship in their eyes.
Everyone said they treated their pet beasts as companions, but only a few could actually do it!
And Lu Yu, who was clearly from a grassroots background, had rejected a temptation of thirty million, rejected an excellent Morning Star material, all because of a potential danger!
“Indeed, money can be earned again, but a partner is the most important thing!”
“That Li Yonglian guy is just bent on Bullying with Power. It’s disgusting!”
“From today onwards, I’m a fan of Lu Yu! I’m going to submit an application to the Yellow Hair Fan Club when I get back!”
“Plus one!”
“…”
With just a few sentences, the moral high ground Li Yonglian had constructed was shattered.
In fact, because Lu Yu identified as a grassroots individual, helpless in the face of a great faction, many people resonated with him, their gazes toward Li Yonglian now tinged with dissatisfaction!
It even led to a bit more aversion towards the Blood-Machine Faction!
Many smart people could see that Lu Yu was manipulating emotions, but…
They also wanted to see the Blood-Machine Faction have some bad luck!
Besides, whether one was willing to cooperate with research or not was a personal choice!
If they dared to force a top-tier Prodigy like Lu Yu today, wouldn't they dare to march on the Imperial Capital tomorrow?
Li Yonglian also sensed the change in atmosphere. His reputation had soured along with it.
Although he had a calm personality, he was still a young man. With a grim expression, he said:
“In that case, I won’t use money.
Let’s just fight directly!”
“No, no, no, you’ve got one thing wrong!”
Lu Yu shook his head and said slowly:
“Although I won’t use my pet beast as a wager, this money… you have to give it to me. If you don’t, I’ll beat you until you cry!”
“Since the first round is an Arena Tournament, the second round definitely won’t be a restricted match.
It’s likely to be a no-holds-barred free-for-all. Even if it’s not, it doesn’t matter…”
“My dear young man from the Blood-Machine Faction, you wouldn’t want to be unable to enroll, would you!”
After he said that, everyone was stunned!
An undisguised threat!
I won't give you the thing, but I'm still taking the money.
Otherwise, I'll beat you to death!
That's pure Bandit Logic!
Who’s the real Villain here?
If it were in a previous battle, they would have thought Lu Yu was bullying with power. But now that he had become the underdog, his attitude hadn't changed at all!
He didn't care if you were an ordinary person or a Scion of a Great Clan; he’d stomp on you all the same!
The arrogant ones… he’d even give them an extra two stomps!
It was just too satisfying!
In that instant, Lu Yu instantly gained countless fans.
At this moment, a unified shout erupted throughout the entire venue:
“Lu Yu! Lu Yu! Lu Yu!”
The many Examinees on the other arenas also tacitly stopped their battles. Some of the Beast Tamer examinees from grassroots backgrounds also started cheering, very curious to see how Lu Yu would deal with Li Yonglian’s targeted approach!
The live broadcast room’s danmaku also exploded in an instant.
On this day, regardless of whether Lu Yu won or lost, all the geniuses in the Imperial Capital today would be shrouded in his Shadow!
“Good… very good. Then let me witness just how you’ll take the money from my hands.
Come out!”
Li Yonglian said in a cold voice. A massive Summoning Array that enveloped the entire arena opened, and a terrifying aura intertwined with the billowing aura of a sea of blood surged forth!
Even with the barrier of the Defensive Ritual, all the spectators felt a sense of suffocation!
“Screee!!!”
Accompanied by a deafening roar, a huge, mysterious figure burst out.
It was a…
Nine-Tailed Scorpion!
It was a full thirty meters tall, its entire body constructed from metal and flesh. However, completely different from the handsome Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant, it only presented a terrifying effect!
Large amounts of flesh and machinery were stacked together, as if they had undergone some special, crude modification.
The two elements faintly repelled each other. Nine fleshy tails connected to metal barbs whipped about continuously, casting a terrifying shadow over everything!
And at the heart of the Mechanical Giant Scorpion, it was covered by multiple layers of mechanical plating, but from the gaps, Black Oil continuously seeped out, flowing over its entire body and adding countless weird lines.
It looked twisted and terrifying, with a majestic aura of energy!
“This is… Glimmering Oil!”
Although the color of the black lines before him was a bit light, Lu Yu still recognized it at first glance.
Another reason he didn't trust the other party was because of the Glimmering Oil.
A certain faction in the City of Order had been secretly researching Glimmering Oil and had already refined a product called [Perfect Holy Machine Oil], attempting to carry out a Mechanical Advent plan!
In that case, sending Little Mouse's First Incarnation, the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant, over there would be no different from hitting a dog with a meat bun, would it?
But unexpectedly… the Blood-Machine Faction also seemed to have achieved a preliminary application of Glimmering Oil?
Was the Blood-Machine Faction really the mastermind behind the previous incident?
Li Yonglian looked at the pensive Lu Yu and, still thinking he was scared, said flatly:
“My Beast Tamer Talent is called [Gu Cultivation Field]. It can promote slaughter among different Gu insects, increasing the success rate of the final Gu insect, granting it special abilities, and giving me absolute suppressive power over them!”
“A talent like this is actually very suitable for a Bug-type Great Domain, or the Mechanical Gu Order.
But I am the heir of the Blood-Machine Faction, so my father sacrificed a great deal of benefits to allow me to study at the Mechanical Gu Order. It's equivalent to combining the strengths of two major factions!”
“Relying on my family’s background, I created a large number of mechanical Gu insects to slaughter each other, constantly trying to cultivate a Gu King.
Finally, by fusing the characteristics of flesh and blood, I gave birth to my first pet beast, the [Nine-Machine Demon Scorpion].”
“It gave it a heartbeat like a living being, allowing it to grow continuously, and to temper a physique capable of shattering all things by itself.
It also retains its mechanical characteristics, allowing it to load Firepower Modules at any time, including those targeting all your pet beasts’ attributes, such as an Anti-Void Resistance Module, an Anti-Dragon Resistance Module, and a Protective Force Field against the immense strength of the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant, giving it strength comparable to a high-tier Morning Star Rank beast, and so on…”
At this point, Li Yonglian paused for a moment and said flatly:
“I’m not saying all this to show off, but to make you understand that you can’t erase the gap between us with just Trash Talk!”
“How can you fight me?”
“Nine-Machine Demon Scorpion, let him feel what Firepower Suppression is!”
As his voice fell, the Spiritual Puzzle modified by his father—[Myriad-Machine Gu Cultivation Field]—activated, simultaneously bestowing the power of the Bug and Mechanical types upon the Nine-Machine Demon Scorpion, amplifying its strength!
“Roar!”
The Nine-Machine Demon Scorpion raised its hideous, modified head. Small gateways continuously opened on its mechanical body, from which flew hundreds of Mechanical Flying Scorpion model drones, equipped with a large number of turrets and the latest model of Spiritual Energy Vortex Machine Guns, and more!
They were loaded with Special Metal Bullets lethal to all three of Lu Yu’s pet beasts!
It was armed to the teeth, so to speak!
Da-da-da!
The Mechanical Flying Scorpions flew into the air and then opened fire.
A rain of bullets and forest of spears covered the area, but just as it was about to reach Lu Yu, a black-red figure appeared.
The Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant appeared and threw a punch!
Boom!
Space trembled, and a fierce wind howled, kicking up a tangible Wind Scythe that swept through, slicing through bullets and cannonballs, causing them to explode continuously in the air as countless clouds of smoke billowed!
It obscured their vision!
But the next moment…
Bang!
Accompanied by the sharp sound of metal colliding, all the dust was torn apart, allowing everyone to see that nine huge tails had already swept out, relentlessly pursuing the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant!
They continuously collided and clashed.
Although it was easily repelled, a large number of drones condensed Spiritual Energy Vortex bullets and whistled through the air!
It was enough to riddle an early Morning Star Rank pet beast with holes!
However, when they struck Little Mouse’s hard Carapace, they only produced a shower of sparks, not even leaving a single dented crater!
Crack, crack, crack!
The large metal parts on the Nine-Machine Demon Scorpion’s body transformed, giving birth to even more Weapon Modules, and it directly initiated a firepower bombardment mode!
It demonstrated the power of a pay-to-win player!
Even Little Mouse could only dodge, but what followed was a large number of fleshy threads entangling it!
“An ordinary early Morning Star Rank pet beast would have been riddled with holes by now, yet the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant easily withstood it. A perfect physique indeed.
But that should be the extent of it. By my estimation, the impact should have already injured its internal organs!”
Li Yonglian exclaimed in amazement, then issued his second command:
“Nine-Machine Demon Scorpion, Scorpio Railgun!”
The Nine-Machine Demon Scorpion’s nine tails swayed.
The barbs at their tips split open like petals, turning into Flowers of Death woven from flesh and machine, forming a special electromagnetic rail.
Within them, rice-sized balls of inky light appeared, spinning continuously and expanding dozens of times in the blink of an eye as vast energy fluctuations converged!
Each strike contained power that surpassed the mid-tier Morning Star rank, infinitely close to the high-tier!
Seeing this, the referee hurriedly increased the strength of the Defensive Ritual, so it could withstand a high-tier Morning Star clash!
Rumble!
Li Yonglian used the numerous mechanical drones for interference and finally seized an opportunity.
He sneered, “It’s over!”
Nine beams of inky light swept out, dyeing the world pitch black!
They possessed a tracking ability and relentlessly pursued the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant until its death!
Seeing this, Lu Yu felt it was a bit tricky.
'Looks like… I have to get serious!'
As the thought flashed through his mind, the constantly dodging Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant suddenly paused, and was then hit by the nine Scorpio Railgun beams!
“Is it over…?”
Just when everyone thought Lu Yu was about to be defeated by the pay-to-win player, the smoke was dispersed by boiling Qi and Blood, revealing the unscathed Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant!
No!
The nine Scorpio Railgun beams had left faint marks on its carapace!
“Such a strong attack.
If it bombarded me continuously for ten minutes, even my defense wouldn’t hold up. A palm-sized piece would shatter!” Little Mouse said with lingering fear.
As the Thousand Faces Armament continued to metamorphose, the physique of the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant had also been terrifyingly enhanced.
But this scene left everyone stunned!
“How is that possible!?”
Li Yonglian couldn't believe that his attack, at eighty percent of its power, couldn't even penetrate the opponent's defense!
His expression turned frantic, and he directly had the Nine-Machine Demon Scorpion continue its railgun bombardment!
Logically, a super-tier ultimate move like this couldn't be released continuously, not to mention the overheating and overloading issues of mechanical systems, which could easily deplete its energy.
But by using a special power core made from the scraps of diluted Glimmering Oil, named the [Glimmering Oil Type-Two Power Core], implanted as the Nine-Machine Demon Scorpion's second heart, it was equivalent to having an energy replenishment furnace.
Although it couldn’t achieve infinite energy, using its ultimate move seven or eight times was not a problem!
“Scorpion Tail Rail…”
Boom!
Before Li Yonglian's command could be given, the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant descended like a meteorite and smashed the Nine-Machine Demon Scorpion directly into the ground of the arena.
Rumble!
A terrifying earthquake spread, shaking the entire Fighting Arena!
“Roar!”
The Nine-Machine Demon Scorpion wanted to resist, but it was stomped down by the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant’s foot. Large amounts of its metal body, mixed with fragments of flesh, flew everywhere!
But under the enhancement of the [Glimmering Oil Type-Two Power Core], a large amount of flesh was repaired, and machinery was derived from it, achieving a High-Speed Regeneration effect.
'Regeneration? There should be a limit, right!'
Little Mouse was curious and stomped continuously, conducting an experiment. But the resulting scene was extremely brutal, as the ground trembled repeatedly.
'Good, it still has the power core’s built-in repair ability. I can wear the opponent down…' Li Yonglian’s scalp was numbing.
Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he saw the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant slowly raise its Ant Foot…
“So annoying!”
A trace of impatience flashed in the eyes of the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant, Little Mouse's incarnation. The Thousand-Faced Tentacles intertwined, quickly forming a Thousand Faces Armament!
But it wasn't the Ghost Shattering Star Arm!
Nor was it the Thousand Faces Horn, the Skull of the Dragon King, or the others!
Instead, it fused all of them together, condensing a wheel of light behind it that was similar to the Flame Wheel behind the Thousand-Faced Soul Mouse, but even more radiant!
“Thousand Faces Three-in-One Armament—Crimson Emperor’s Sky-Devouring Flame Wheel!”
From it, a deep crimson, circular ball of light was spat out.
It descended slowly, like an ancient sun setting!
It struck the Nine-Machine Demon Scorpion, which was preparing to counterattack!
The next moment, in its eyes, which still retained flesh and blood, an emotion called Fear appeared!
Rumble!
A huge, crimson beam of light instantly exploded, swallowing it, and shot into the sky, directly hitting the Defensive Ritual of the arena!
A dazzling red light shone upon the world, devouring everything!
Crack, crack, crack!
If the referee hadn't timely adjusted it to Peak Morning Star rank, it would have almost been shattered!
But even so, the entire Defensive Ritual was now covered in cracks, on the verge of collapsing at any moment!
The light receded!
The entire arena had completely disappeared, leaving only its edges. In its place was a huge Crater.
In the center of the crater was the battered and unconscious Nine-Machine Demon Scorpion, and standing on it, its Blood-colored Ribbons fluttering like flames, was the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant, like a Demon King of the Abyss, looking down upon all creation!
This scene silenced everyone present, their minds utterly shaken!
A 7,500-character mega-chapter. Asking for Monthly Tickets.
I've made up for yesterday's, and by the way, I'm recommending a new book by a veteran author.
