On the Yansacrifice Continent, within an ancient underground palace…
The walls of the palace still bore some ancient sacrificial patterns. Faint ripples of cosmic laws emanated from them. These patterns had endured for countless eons without being completely destroyed. Luo Feng, upon seeing them for the first time, was deeply astonished. He couldn’t help but wonder what kind of beings had lived on this continent in the distant past.
Luo Feng himself sat cross-legged within one of the side chambers.
Suddenly—
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!…
Nine colossal beams of light, unstoppable and crushing all in their path, pierced through the thick layers of rock, striking deep into the underground palace. The ancient palace, under such savage and overwhelming assault, shattered in an instant. Even the cosmic space around it cracked and splintered, with countless fragments swept away by chaotic spatial currents.
It was only when the underground palace was struck by the nine beams that Luo Feng awoke from his meditation.
“Not good!”
Black battle armor rapidly extended from his body, fully enveloping him in protection. At the same time, he quickly summoned a shield—Beast-God Weapon. A blinding, massive beam of light pierced through the collapsing palace and struck Luo Feng. However, after passing through the thick rock layers, the beam had already lost most of its power. When it hit Luo Feng, it was first blocked by the Beast-God Weapon shield, allowing him to narrowly escape death.
Everything became chaotic and dark as the underground palace crumbled.
Luo Feng was sent flying backward.
“What in the world is this?” Luo Feng immediately adjusted his posture and soared straight up through the shattered cosmic space. In a flash, he flew out from the deep hole and reached the surface.
Looking up, Luo Feng was stunned!
In every direction…
Nine pyramid-shaped spacecraft floated in the air. Based on their positions and the nine deep holes beneath the ground, it was clear that the nine beams had been fired from these very ships.
“Mechanical race ships?” Luo Feng frowned as he observed them. “It’s actually the Mechanical Race. Babata, can the scanners detect these nine ships from a distance?”
“Scanners can’t detect any targets. We must be completely shielded,” Babata replied through mental communication. “Their scanning technology is more advanced than ours. Luo Feng, be extremely cautious. The enemy might be a King-level being.”
Luo Feng remained calm.
From his perception, each of the nine pyramids, especially the energy shields on their surfaces, was far more expensive than his own Yanshi Starship.
“What kind of enemy is this?” Luo Feng was secretly shocked. “They casually deploy nine ships that are all superior to my Yanshi Starship? From my sensing, those energy shields are extremely powerful. It might take my Golden-Horned Giant Beast clone to even scratch those nine pyramid ships.”
These were true powerhouses—mighty entities of the Mechanical Race. They bore no resemblance to that immortal-level Mechanical warrior who had once coveted Hu Yanbo’s treasures. That one had merely been an Immortal Lord, devoid of formidable subordinates and commanding only a single E-grade pyramid vessel. How could he possibly compare to this foe who nonchalantly deployed nine ultra-priceless pyramid ships?
“Damn it, I can’t even detect where the enemy is!” Luo Feng was anxious.
This was the first time—
Luo Feng had tasted the bitterness of inferior scanning technology firsthand. In the past, he had played with alien powerhouses at his leisure, attacking or retreating as he pleased. But now, the initiative lay entirely in the hands of his enemies.
“Whoosh!”
Luo Feng paused in midair for only 0.01 seconds before instantly transforming into a streak of light and fleeing rapidly.
…
“Young one, do you really think you can escape?”
“Hehehe, toying with a Human Sovereign who dares to come to the Yansacrifice Continent… how amusing.” Several hundred thousand kilometers away, Zvikar watched the scene unfold from within the control room of his ship. As Luo Feng chose to flee, he gave the order: “Attack!”
The nine pyramid ships, which had previously been motionless, suddenly split open at their bases, revealing hundreds of meters wide hatches.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!…
Like swarms of locusts, countless black mechanical drones poured out from the hatches. Each of the nine pyramid ships released a massive number of these drones. In theory, each ship was only 1800 meters tall, with many internal compartments such as engine rooms, so they shouldn’t have been able to carry so many drones. Yet, the drones continued to pour out in an endless stream. Within moments, each pyramid ship had released over a million black mechanical drones.
“Nine million drones!” Luo Feng stared in disbelief as nine massive swarms descended upon him from all directions.
Each drone was ten meters tall, pitch black in color, and equipped with massive axes, blades, or greatswords on their backs.
“What kind of enemy is this? This is just… too extravagant.”
“Nine million F9-grade mechanical drones! Each one forged entirely from the F9-grade metal ‘Black-Hawk Pattern Mother’! Even if they were trying to cut costs, each drone would still require a metal block of equivalent volume. And each such block is worth at least ten Chaos Units.”
“Nine million drones… that’s ninety million Chaos Units!”
“Such an enormous expenditure, all for this massive swarm of drones? This is too wasteful, too luxurious! Who could be behind this?” After all, it was said that good steel should be used on the blade. If those ninety million Chaos Units had been used to purchase more valuable items, the combat effectiveness would have been far greater.
Nine million drones? Usually, even controlling a million precisely was considered the limit. Anything beyond that was likely just wasteful.
“Buzz~~~” The nine swarms, each consisting of a million F9-grade drones, were now closing in on Luo Feng. The nearest swarm began gathering energy at their chests.
BOOM!
A million beams of light converged into a single massive beam, over a hundred meters in diameter, aimed directly at Luo Feng.
“Whoosh!” Luo Feng, holding the Beast-God Weapon, quickly dodged, narrowly avoiding the deadly strike.
Buzz~~~ Buzz~~~ Buzz~~~ Buzz~~~ Buzz~~~ Buzz~~~ Buzz~~~ Buzz~~~
The nine swarms took turns charging and firing. As they closed in, from the third round onward, even with his incredible dodging skills, Luo Feng could no longer evade. He had no choice but to rely on the Beast-God Weapon shield and the armor on his body to block the terrifying bombardment.
Luo Feng, furious, used his speed to charge toward one of the drone swarms.
But the drones simultaneously retreated, while the other eight swarms continued to close in on him. No matter how he tried to escape, the nine swarms maintained an appropriate distance from him. Wherever Luo Feng moved, the drones in that direction would retreat, while the others advanced.
Thus, Luo Feng found himself trapped in a complete encirclement.
“Damn it!”
“This is just too despicable,” Luo Feng growled in frustration.
At this distance, the nine swarms could strike him with every shot.
…
“Hmm? He actually blocked twenty consecutive volleys of coordinated energy attacks? Each one rivaling the full power strike of a Marquis-level being,” Zvikar, who was commanding the battle from afar, raised an eyebrow in surprise. “This Human Sovereign is truly remarkable. His shield takes the hits without damage, even reducing much of the impact… impressive.”
“Begin coordinated three-squadron attacks,” Zvikar casually ordered.
…
Initially, the nine swarms surrounded Luo Feng, attacking one after another in rotation. Luo Feng was unable to break free from the encirclement, feeling extremely frustrated.
After Luo Feng endured twenty attacks, the nine swarms shifted to a new mode—”three-squadron coordinated assault.” The firepower was immense. In fact, this was already pushing the limits of what the nine swarms could achieve, as they were positioned in different directions. At most, only three of them could strike Luo Feng simultaneously.
Yet, Luo Feng endured it again.
“Activate energy!”
“Flame mode, entrapment formation!” Zvikar issued another command from afar. “Even a true Marquis-level being would be trapped by this. Let alone you, young one. You’ve already cost me a lot of energy. You should feel proud.”
The countless mechanical drones, previously dull and lifeless, suddenly radiated brilliant red light from their surfaces. The overwhelming energy caused Luo Feng, surrounded by nine million drones, to pale.
“This… this… such immense power! These drones aren’t just cheap metal blocks. Their energy cores are top-tier. Each drone alone must be worth hundreds of Chaos Units. Altogether, this must be… several billion Chaos Units!”
Luo Feng was stunned.
In the past, when he had entered the Sovereign-level Primordial Tower and received a reward of three billion points, he had considered it impressive.
But this…
Nine million F9-grade mechanical drones, each one a high-end unit, not just dumb metal. Back when Luo Feng, Taiwo, and Poison had first entered the extraterrestrial battlefield and were ambushed by the Mechanical Race, even their enemy’s core drones required a combination with Thunder Jail to unleash such power. Compared to these nine million drones, those drones seemed slightly inferior.
“Spending several billion Chaos Units just like that?” Luo Feng marveled, while also realizing, “If they’ve invested so much wealth, then these nine swarms must have more than just the simple ‘coordinated energy bombardment’ mode.”
Buzz!
All nine million drones ignited flames across their surfaces. In perfect unison, they drew their weapons—great axes, blades, or greatswords.
Suddenly, one of the nine swarms, all drones in perfect synchronization, swung their weapons toward Luo Feng.
Beep!
The flame energy was instantly transformed through the greatswords into red beams of light, firing directly at Luo Feng.
A million red beams converged from all directions, forming a net-like pattern that wrapped toward Luo Feng.
“This is terrifying,” Luo Feng felt a chill in his heart, clearly sensing the deadly power of the endless red light net.
This was not something to be resisted directly!
If he tried to block, he would certainly be trapped, with no chance of escape. Luo Feng had that feeling.
BOOM!
Luo Feng suddenly vanished.
“Roar~~~” A massive silver-winged beast appeared out of nowhere in midair, radiating an overwhelmingly terrifying pressure.
This sight caused Zvikar, who was commanding the battle from afar, to change expressions: “Silver-Winged King? Is this Human Sovereign a puppet controlled by the Silver-Winged King? Or is the Silver-Winged King his bodyguard?”
