Chapter 105 Leave the treasure behind and you can get out!
"The second one, the third one, let's do it together." The Flame Moon King's voice rang out again.
The remaining steel crack and heavy hammer were simultaneously released from the spatial confinement.
They witnessed the fall of Thornblade, quickly deduced the situation they would face, and reached a highly consistent conclusion: facing this peerless genius who could instantly kill Thornblade, no one could win against him alone.
Their best option is to self-destruct their divine bodies, using their lives to annihilate this genius here, thus completely depriving him of any future possibilities!
Without any communication, the two mechanical immortal gods activated their self-destruct program the instant they were freed. Terrifying energy fluctuations erupted from their bodies, and space began to distort violently.
Blade's expression changed instantly.
He didn't expect his opponent to be so decisive, choosing to perish together without even testing him!
The self-destruction of two high-level military lords was powerful enough to annihilate most of the divine bodies of a low-level Marquis.
Although he had the life-saving item given to him by his teacher, he would inevitably end up in a sorry state if he tried to fight it head-on.
boom!
With a loud bang, a burst of destructive energy erupted, reaching him almost instantly.
"They can really kill me!" Feeling the terrifying power contained in the energy wave, Blade's thoughts were completely chaotic, with only this thought echoing in his mind.
"what!"
"I'm here to gain experience!"
"How could I possibly die at the hands of two ordinary immortals!"
"roar!"
Blade roared in fury, his taut spirit sublimating in the face of life-or-death crisis, completely breaking free from chaos.
Immediately afterwards, a strange suit of armor made entirely of dark gold scales enveloped his body inch by inch.
"Heart-Eating Armor, block it!"
Just as he was preparing to withstand the attack with the precious armor given to him by his teacher, two slender hands covered in crimson gold armor suddenly appeared in the void, and they simply clenched their fists.
The next moment, the surging energy dissipated like a punctured balloon, and the attack of the two high-level military lords of the mechanical race who were about to self-destruct their divine bodies was easily thwarted!
Ren stared blankly at the scene, his back soaked with cold sweat.
The sense of crisis he felt just now was so real that the smugness he had felt from quickly killing a high-level military lord vanished in an instant. The battlefield outside the domain was fraught with danger.
He took a deep breath and bowed solemnly in Yue's direction.
Yue nodded, her gaze towards the other person's armor somewhat strange: "Your teacher is really worried about you getting into trouble, so he even made a set of this armor for you."
The armor of the blade is of a very high grade. It is made primarily of the scale armor of the demon race's royal family and even the peak-level experts who have been granted the title of Marquis. A large amount of precious alloys have been added. Finally, it was made by a master craftsman who spent hundreds of thousands of processes to create it. It can be called the strongest physical defense among the most precious treasures.
What's most astonishing isn't the alloys required for forging or the fees charged by master craftsmen, but rather that the appearance of each piece of armor signifies the capture of a peak-level demon clan expert.
After all, although divine bodies can be restored, taking scales consumes their essence. Under normal circumstances, the essence accumulated over billions of years is only enough to make one piece. Therefore, even powerful individuals with demon soul servants will not take scales frequently. To forge new armor, they can only obtain materials on the spot.
Its defensive capabilities are in no way weaker than the armor formed by the Immortal-level Cloud Vine. It can withstand a blow from a King-level expert without any problem. If the self-destruction just now had hit the blade, it wouldn't have even made him gasp for breath.
The most extravagant thing is that this armor is merely a transitional piece of equipment. It is a life-saving item given by top experts to their juniors before their auxiliary life forms have matured. Once the auxiliary life forms cultivated with resources break through to immortality, the armor will also be eliminated.
Blade is clearly in this situation. Peerless geniuses usually reach the peak of the realm lord in a few hundred thousand years, but even with a sufficient supply of resources, their auxiliary life forms cannot achieve immortality before they enter the outer battlefield. Therefore, they can only find other things to save their lives.
A priceless treasure? It's like a child carrying gold through a bustling market—everyone knows what will happen to him. That's why armor as sharp as the Heart-Eating Armor pierced by a blade came into being.
Those who can even look down on it are usually no match for geniuses clad in armor; while those who can crush geniuses are mostly king-level powerhouses, but they have an unwritten rule that they cannot arbitrarily attack cultivators of lower strength...
Blade fell silent. It was right to rely on his armor to save his life, but he still hoped that next time he could directly break down the enemy's offensive.
On the other side, Lin Yuan's battle was also nearing its end.
After shattering the Iron Wall's divine body for the seventh time in a row, the mechanical race's initial-level Marquis-rank divine body finally suffered more than 90% damage.
When the divine body finished reorganizing, only a stationary metal shell remained, which had fallen into a state of forced slumber due to excessive depletion of the divine body.
Although its life imprint still exists, it is too weak to support any conscious activity, let alone self-destruct.
"That's it." Lin Yuan exhaled a breath of stale air and sheathed the Burning Sky Blade.
The continuous high-intensity bursts of attacks also consumed a lot of his divine power, but the loss was less than five percent. Moreover, he had a large divine body that he carried with him, so he could replenish it in a short time.
He waved his hand and put the slumbering Iron Wall into his world ring. This was an important prisoner, and it would be good to either enslave him or resell him later.
Although the mechanical race has no soul, rendering the method of soul enslavement ineffective against them, there are countless geniuses among the myriad races of the universe, and a powerful individual once created a special secret method of will enslavement.
With a strong will, one can use this secret technique to forcibly change the will of the other party, making them recognize oneself as the master. This secret technique is specifically designed to counter the mechanical race.
"Clean up the battlefield and evacuate immediately," Lin Yuan ordered.
Although Shattered Star Abyss is not considered a dangerous area, the fluctuations from the battle just now may have attracted the attention of other teams.
The group quickly cleaned up the battlefield and then boarded their spaceship to re-enter the dark universe.
Inside the spaceship's lounge.
Lin Yuanqing counted the gains from the battle, a satisfied smile on his face.
A successful raid resulted in the capture of a low-level Marquis-level expert from the Mechanical Race, the killing of three high-level military commanders, and the seizure of an F-class spaceship and a large number of valuable technological weapons. This operation was very fruitful and can truly be described as a great start.
Ren sat to the side with a slight frown, clearly not entirely satisfied with his performance.
"What? Do you feel a little ashamed that you were almost scared by the other party's self-destruction?" Lin Yuan glanced at him and asked with a light laugh.
Although he was engaged in fierce combat, he was still able to spare a bit of attention to his teammates, and naturally knew the crux of why Blade was behaving this way.
Ren nodded and said frankly, "Some. The opponents I've encountered in the past have always valued their lives, and even at the final moment of life and death, they rarely made the decisive decision to self-destruct. This time, the mechanical race really taught me a lesson."
As he spoke, his eyes sharpened: "But next time I'll be more careful and never give them that chance again!"
"However..." Ren looked at Lin Yuan expectantly, "This time, apart from self-destruction, my opponent didn't put any pressure on me. Next time, could I try fighting a Marquis-level expert?"
Lin Yuan shook his head and advised with the experience of someone who had been through it all: "No rush."
Your explosive power is indeed very strong, but against a Marquis who possesses an immortal body, explosive power alone is useless.
How to effectively deplete the opponent's divine body and prevent it from self-destructing requires you to accumulate knowledge through more practical combat.
He paused, then said seriously, "Only when you can deal with three or four high-ranking military commanders and make them perish before they even have time to think about self-destruction can you be considered to have the ability to hunt for titles and be granted titles."
Otherwise, if the opponent had even a moment of lucidity and self-destructed without seeing any hope, the power would be so great that even I would have to run away immediately.
Blade remained silent for a moment.
There was something else he didn't say aloud: "If it weren't for my teacher's strict warning against relying on external substances like Femore Venom in the early stages of my training... even I, a King-level expert, might have tried it."
Of course, all of this was just wishful thinking. He wasn't really arrogant enough to believe that he could challenge for the title of King right now, and he also knew that what the captain said was valuable experience.
Finally, Blade raised his head again, his gaze regaining its firmness: "I understand, Captain."
Lin Yuan smiled and said no more.
He glanced at Yue, who remained silent to the side, and knew in his heart that most of the credit for this battle went to the teacher's powerful detector and his control at crucial moments.
With her around, this hastily formed Firewood Squad can at least boldly engage in training within a safe range.
……
Star No. 5783, a desolate canyon deep within.
The fundamental laws of wind clashed violently with the demon race's raging divine power, tearing countless fine cracks into the surrounding void.
The Purple Wind Venerable transformed into a hazy blue stream of light, his sword flashing with sharp sword light as he engaged in a fierce battle with three demon race universe venerables whose demonic aura soared to the heavens.
The leader among them had a body covered in dark blue scales, and his aura had clearly reached the level of a cosmic overlord.
Their target was a strange cocoon of light, enveloped in a hazy, flowing glow, suspended in the center of the canyon.
Inside the cocoon of light, a pair of faintly visible phantom wings are gradually becoming clear; they are one of the components of the "Wings of Flowing Light," a high-grade treasure for assisting flight.
"Zifeng, I'm going to have this treasure!" the demon overlord roared, his claws tearing through space as he fiercely attacked Venerable Zifeng.
"Hmph, dream on!" Venerable Purple Wind changed his sword stance, skillfully deflecting the attack, and attempted to approach the cocoon of light.
He figured that if he could delay a little longer until the treasure was born, he would have a good chance of seizing it by virtue of his speed advantage.
boom--!
Just then, a terrifying pressure descended without warning, instantly enveloping the entire Primal Star!
The originally turbulent laws were forcibly calmed down, the violent spatial turbulence solidified, and the entire planet seemed to be completely controlled by an invisible hand.
Whether it was the Purple Wind Venerable and the Demon Clan Venerable who were fighting, or the powerful figures of various races scattered in other corners of the planet searching for treasure, all of them felt a sudden heaviness in their bodies and a tremor in the depths of their souls.
"He is the Lord of the Universe!"
"Not good! This aura belongs to Yan Di of the Hong Alliance!"
A majestic figure strode down from the sky, its height reaching tens of thousands of kilometers, its body covered in dense scales, and a single, enormous horn atop its head giving it an imposing and domineering presence.
His gaze swept across the entire planet as if inspecting his own territory. The power of the Lord of the Universe to control a region of spacetime was activated, brutally probing every inch of land, searching for the fluctuations of a supreme treasure's birth.
"Leave the treasure, and you may all leave." A cold and domineering voice rang in the ears of every powerful figure on this primordial star, carrying an unquestionable command.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Di ignored the reactions of the other powerful figures and directly reached out to grab them from mid-air.
Instantly, all the ordinary and top-tier treasures that had not yet been collected from various parts of the planet, and even a short spear that had just emerged from a certain abyss, all transformed into streams of light and flew into Emperor Yan's hands.
Faced with this behavior, the other factions' cosmic venerables and overlords scattered in various places all lowered their heads, not daring to show any dissatisfaction, let alone make any obstruction.
The Yan Emperor's increasingly domineering behavior on the Primordial Star had already spread far and wide. Even ordinary universe masters avoided his sharp edge. How could these Venerable Ones dare to offend this fierce god?
