Chapter 243: Robot

The black metallic corridor was covered in dust, and the previous laser shots had left only faint marks on the floor.

“Whoosh! Whoosh!”

The Juliuding pressed relentlessly against the gate with slow, inexorable force. At the corridor’s far end, Luo Feng’s Moyun Battle Armor swiftly expanded, encasing his entire form—even his head was sheathed in its crimson embrace. At first glance, he resembled nothing so much as a sculpture carved from living blood.

“Breakthrough!”

Luo Feng surged forward, his body barely grazing the earth as he dashed inward! In the blink of an eye, the Dun Tian Shuttle hovering above him morphed into the formidable “Mountain-Shield.”

“Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!”

Blinding laser beams instantly shot toward the Mountain-Shield and Luo Feng! The moment the shield was hit, under Luo Feng’s control, it shattered into 365 blade fragments! The flying blades confused the laser sensors, causing more lasers to activate and target the fragments. Luo Feng himself was struck by two laser beams.

“Boom!” The impact of the lasers sent Luo Feng crashing onto the ground.

Then, a side laser struck him, hurling him sideways to the left!

In an instant…

Luo Feng seemed like a ping-pong ball, bombarded by lasers in chaotic motion. Yet, he was desperately controlling his telekinesis, pushing himself forward! Forward! Forward!

“Zooom!”

Bursting through the gate with immense force, Luo Feng slid swiftly across the floor and dashed into the spacecraft.

“Finally inside!” Luo Feng felt a dull pain all over his body.

He also detected waves of grievance emanating from the Shadowmist Vine. It appeared the vine had endured repeated laser strikes and was nursing a profound sense of injustice. Luo Feng couldn’t suppress an amused chuckle: “Enough with the theatrics. I’ll compensate you with premium nutrients later!” The crimson radiance of the Shadowmist Armor pulsed with eager anticipation.

“Swish!” Suddenly, the immense force beside him vanished, and the gate came crashing down with a thunderous boom onto the metal floor.

“I’ve withdrawn the Titan’s Push,” Babata declared.

Luo Feng looked around. He was now in a wide, straight corridor: “Babata, where now?”

This pitch-black corridor, he had no idea what dangers it might hold.

“Haha, Luo Feng, we’ve already entered the Heilongshan X81 spaceship. Don’t worry, no danger now,” Babata said. “Come on, let’s quickly head to the ‘command room’ and insert the ‘transmitter’ into the ship’s AI interface. Only by connecting with the ship’s AI can I figure out how to break through its defenses and take control.”

“Understood,” Luo Feng nodded.

At the same time, an object resembling a ‘notebook memory card’ suddenly appeared in front of him, and Luo Feng quickly grabbed it.

“Just insert the golden end into the interface. Let’s go, command room,” Babata said.

“Lead the way,” Luo Feng mentally replied.

“Left!”

Guided by Babata, Luo Feng quickly advanced through the Heilong spaceship…

The command room of the Heilongshan X81 spaceship.

Pitch black!

The moment Luo Feng slid through the gate and into the ship—

“Ding!”

The spacious command room instantly lit up. A man in a military uniform sat calmly in the center, and behind him stood three men in black uniforms. The military officer and his three subordinates stood motionless… while the control panel screen in front of the command room lit up.

“XXXX…” A flood of Galactic Common Language text appeared on the screen.

Translated, it read—

“Human Star-Level Telepath has breached!”

“Threat level: Weak.”

“Proceed with… Elimination!”

Meanwhile, deep within the Heilongshan X81 spaceship, in a sealed room, lights suddenly flickered on. Inside this sealed room stood three metallic robots, each about two meters tall, entirely black in color, with red crystal eyes.

“Ding!”

The moment the ship’s AI model transmitted the signal, the red crystal eyes of the three robots lit up.

“Click, click, click…”

Their internal energy systems activated rapidly, and the sealed room’s door automatically opened. Then, the three robots moved in formation, dashing out of the room as three streaks of light. They followed the lower corridor and soon reached the mid-level corridor, where Luo Feng was now ascending the stairs between the mid and upper corridors.

Luo Feng quickly climbed the stairs to the upper corridor.

“Luo Feng, three metal robots are rapidly approaching from behind,” Babata warned urgently.

Luo Feng was startled and immediately leaped backward, creating some distance, his eyes fixed on the stairway ahead. He could feel faint vibrations under his feet from the rapid footsteps below: “Babata, you said entering the ship was safe!”

“This ship has been submerged for over 800,000 years! Yet it’s still maintaining these robots, keeping them functional to this day. Amazing,” Babata couldn’t help but exclaim. “The ship’s original owner must have left a massive energy reserve in the storage room to keep the ship operational.”

Luo Feng had no time to argue with Babata.

Because…

The metal robots were almost here!

“Boom!”

A black streak of light shot up the stairs into the upper corridor. Luo Feng got a clear look at the metal robot—entirely black metal with glowing red eyes! And its fists were disproportionately large compared to its body, like two massive hammers!

“Break!”

Luo Feng’s Sky-Soaring Shuttle, now transformed into the “Mountain Piercer,” unleashed eighteen golden beams that swiftly spiraled and converged at its tip!

“Roar~~~”

The Mountain-Splitter, howling with a tempest and a shrieking whistle, slammed straight into the metallic automaton’s chest in the blink of an eye! Luo Feng, now a Third-Rank Star-Tier Psychic, had elevated his Sky-Soaring Shuttle to the second realm of the “Trinity of Realms, Ninefold Heavens” technique—commanding eighteen strands of telekinetic fury!

The Astral-Seer’s pupils contracted—his divine sense screeched through the Novem-Spired Heavens as the clockwork colossus thundered toward him, its gears grinding the very fabric of the Celestial Triarchy.

Even Hong or Thunder God would be injured by such a blow!

“Boom!” The metal robot was sent flying backward, crashing into the wall beside the stairway.

“Zooom! Zooom!”

The other two robots charged up.

“Boom!”

A massive fist, lightning-fast, shot toward Luo Feng’s face. The Mountain-Piercer had just sent one robot flying and hadn’t yet struck again.

“Fast,” Luo Feng thought in alarm. “Faster than my flight speed.”

At the same time, a strange whip appeared on Luo Feng’s right hand, curving through the air and lashing fiercely at the robot’s head! “Crack!” The robot was struck, yet its fist still slammed into Luo Feng. Layers of vine-like leaves emerged on Luo Feng’s body.

“Zooom!”

Luo Feng was sent flying backward by the punch. As he flew back, his eyes turned cold… A blood-red shard appeared before him, its edge extremely sharp!

“Fragment of the Chaos Copper Mother—Sever the Head!”

Instantly, 19 strong threads of telekinetic force, like 19 tentacles, wrapped around the blood-red metal fragment. In an instant, the 19 threads unleashed their maximum propulsion, accelerating the fragment to incredible speeds! Its razor-thin, sharp edge minimized air resistance. With propulsion exceeding resistance…

It kept accelerating!

“Xiu!”

The blood-red fragment moved at an astonishing speed, slicing toward the third robot’s neck, aiming to decapitate it!

“Ka!”

A harsh sound rang out. Sparks flew from the robot’s neck. The previously lightning-fast Chaos Copper Mother fragment was suddenly repelled. The metal robot, hit by the powerful impact, involuntarily flew backward. But Luo Feng’s wide eyes clearly saw…

The robot’s neck only had a faint mark—no actual wound.

“Zooom! Zooom! Zooom!”

The three robots, like three streaks of light, charged again, their red crystal eyes devoid of emotion.

“Babata, what the hell are these robots?” Luo Feng mentally shouted. He had no more tricks left. Even his ultimate move, the Chaos Copper Mother fragment, had no effect. Luo Feng had estimated that with the Mountain-Piercer, he might stand a chance against a Seventh or Eighth-Stage Star-Level warrior.

But with the Chaos Copper Mother fragment, which even an Immortal would struggle to damage, he might have a shot at injuring a First-Stage Cosmic-Level warrior. Of course, that would require the opponent to stand still and let him strike.

“Babata, what do I do now?” Luo Feng asked urgently.

“Don’t panic, don’t panic, I’m working on it,” Babata replied quickly.

“You’re working on it?”

Luo Feng had no time to think. He turned and ran down the corridor! But his speed was no match for the three metal robots, so… Luo Feng extended two long vines from each hand, lashing at the robots as they chased him, trying to slow them down with each whip!

“Bad! I’ve run out of space!” Luo Feng’s telekinesis clearly detected that there was nowhere left to run ahead.

“Hmm?”

Luo Feng was stunned. His telekinesis clearly sensed the three metal robots behind him suddenly fall and stand motionless.

He turned around… The three black metal robots stood still.

“Luo Feng, I’ve taken control of these three robots,” Babata said.

“Control?”

Luo Feng was surprised.

“These metal robots are controlled by the ship’s AI through wireless signals. If it’s wireless… as long as the encryption isn’t too high, I can crack it. While you were fighting them, I was working hard to break in, and just now, I fully took control of these three robots,” Babata said proudly. “Robots aren’t that threatening, really. They’re made of metal, and these three are made of Heiyu Metal. You’d have a hard time damaging them.”

Heiyu Metal!

Even Cosmic-Level warriors would need to exert considerable effort to break through.

“The advantage of metal robots is that they can be made from extremely hard metals. But they have many disadvantages… like these three, which lack autonomous intelligence. So their attacks against you were very simple. Otherwise, if their AI were slightly more advanced, three of them working together might not be able to kill you, with your Moyun Vine, but they could easily capture you,” Babata explained. “Alright, head to the command room.”

Luo Feng took a deep breath.

He walked forward, and behind him, the three metal robots obediently followed.

Suddenly, he saw ahead a beautifully carved silver door.

“We’ve arrived at the command room,” Babata said.
