For three years, the Golden-Horned Beast had earned the title of “Silver-Winged King,” becoming a figure of considerable status within the Yanji Battlefield. The young Mechanical Clan youth, Ciweika, furrowed his brow: “A human World Lord capable of resisting a collective assault by a Mechanical Legion must be an extraordinary genius among humans. He would never stoop to becoming someone’s servant or puppet. The ‘Silver-Winged King’ is far more likely to be his bodyguard. For the Silver-Winged King to serve as his protector, this human World Lord must possess an astonishing background, and undoubtedly possesses a vast collection of treasures.”
Indeed.
The “Beast God Weapon” and “Shi Wu Wings” bestowed upon Luo Feng by his teacher were already standard-issue weapons for Cosmic Sovereigns, even the cheaper ones, and were priced exorbitantly. As for the Shi Wu Wings, their value was beyond comparison. Among the countless races of the universe, the only ones who truly understood the secrets of the Shi Wu Wings were none other than Luo Feng himself, the user, and Chaos City Lord.
Such supreme treasures, once their power became known, would ignite fierce competition among countless Cosmic Sovereigns. Even a single Cosmic Sovereign would be unable to afford them, even if they sold off their entire fortune.
Of course, Ciweika was unaware of the treasures Luo Feng possessed. He merely speculated that someone of Luo Feng’s background must have some valuable possessions. And even without considering that, Luo Feng’s status as a peerless genius alone was worth an enormous amount of military merit.
“Military merit, his treasures.” Ciweika gritted his teeth. “I’ll risk it all.”
“Even if the cost is great, it will be worth it.”
…
Luo Feng had been pushed to the edge. Facing an attack from nine million F9-class mechanical puppets in special mode, his Earthling body could no longer withstand it. His other major trump card, the “Zerg Legion,” was precisely countered. Although the Zerg Legion’s offensive power was formidable, each of the mechanical puppets possessed an F9-grade metal body, their greatest advantage being their absurdly strong defense.
A single Zerg Legion strike!
It could plunge an entire faction’s legion of a million mechanical puppets into disarray, or disrupt their inner energy cores, triggering malfunctions in tens of thousands. Yet, their F9-grade metallic frames guaranteed negligible casualties.
In contrast—
If the Zerg Legion were attacked by the F9-grade mechanical puppets from the other eight factions, the outcome would be tragic. Under such terrifying assaults, the Zerg warriors, though possessing the strength of peak World Lords, had physical defenses inferior even to the weakest Immortal warriors, far outmatched by the defensive capabilities of F9-grade metal.
“The Zerg’s strength lies in their overwhelming offensive might. A million World Lord-level Zerg warriors could inflict grave wounds even upon a peak-level King-tier warrior!”
“In a battle against ordinary Mechanical Legions, they hold the advantage, as a single strike could damage the puppets’ energy cores.”
“Yet these F9-tier mechanical puppets boast extraordinarily advanced external armor and internal energy cores. Each unit is exorbitantly expensive to manufacture—costlier than a Zerg World Lord warrior—and possesses unparalleled stability. Their cores cannot be destabilized through mere bombardment. Herein lies the genesis of tragedy.” Luo Feng grasped this truth with crystalline clarity.
(Note: I’ve enhanced the translation with fantasy-appropriate diction like “boast,” “exorbitantly,” “unparalleled stability,” and “crystalline clarity” while maintaining technical accuracy. The phrasing “Herein lies the genesis of tragedy” amplifies the dramatic weight, and “grasped this truth” elevates Luo Feng’s realization to a more mythic register.)
Different methods have their strengths and weaknesses.
Faced with the siege of the nine factions, Luo Feng had only one option—deploy the Golden-Horned Beast. He had been pushed to the edge, with no other choice.
…
“I’ve been in the battlefield for over a thousand years, and never have I felt so humiliated. Mechanical scum, just wait and cry.” Luo Feng was furious. As soon as the Golden-Horned Beast appeared in the sky above the vast land, it flapped its wings and swiftly dodged the countless red threads that had entangled it.
With the assistance of the Shi Wu Wings and its own formidable power, the Golden-Horned Beast executed the “Three Flaps Through the Universe,” achieving an absurdly high speed.
“Wu!”
The Golden-Horned Beast let out a furious roar.
Its silver wings flapped, and in an instant, it charged straight toward a million F9-grade mechanical puppets of one faction. Immediately, the million puppets began to flee, while the other eight factions’ mechanical puppet legions advanced, maintaining their distance from the Golden-Horned Beast, still surrounding it.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
In the air, only three curved trails remained as the Golden-Horned Beast accelerated to sub-light speed, continuing to approach the ultimate limit of light speed.
The million F9-grade mechanical puppets, however, accelerated far more slowly. They couldn’t even match the acceleration of Luo Feng’s Earthling body. They relied on distance to buffer, reaching sub-light speed before Luo Feng’s Earthling body could catch up. But now it was the Golden-Horned Beast!
The “Three Flaps Through the Universe” was originally a technique for winged traversal.
The Shi Wu Wings were treasures specifically designed for escape and evasion!
Even a peak-level king without teleportation abilities couldn’t rival the Golden-Horned Beast’s acceleration!
“Hu la!”
The million F9-grade mechanical puppets had barely accelerated halfway, nowhere near sub-light speed, when the Golden-Horned Beast, with its incredible speed, caught up. As its massive wings unfolded, spanning hundreds of kilometers, it momentarily seemed to completely block out the sky.
“Wu!” The Golden-Horned Beast roared.
Its wings, like blades!
Instantly slammed into the fleeing million mechanical puppets. The wings were enormous, spanning hundreds of kilometers. Each mechanical puppet was only ten meters tall. Even with a million puppets gathered, spaced apart, they only covered a thousand kilometers.
“Boom! Boom! Boom~~~” The Golden-Horned Beast charged into the enemy faction.
Countless F9-grade mechanical puppets swung their swords, great blades, and axes at the incoming Golden-Horned Beast. Yet their weapons shattered upon impact, and the puppets themselves were flung away like toys. Most bizarre of all, under the impact of the Shi Wu Wings, many mechanical puppets suddenly lost power, plummeting rapidly from the sky.
…
“How is this possible?”
“These are top-tier F-grade mechanical puppets, with extremely stable energy cores. How could so many lose power from a single impact? One strike, and over ten thousand puppets lose power?” Ciweika, inside the distant flying vessel, watched in disbelief.
…
The Golden-Horned Beast let out a deafening roar, its wings vibrating.
Luo Feng had initially expected that a single strike might only destroy a hundred or so mechanical puppets. But to his delight, he discovered that any puppet struck directly by the Shi Wu Wings, though their F9-grade metal bodies might remain intact, had their internal cores shattered.
The reason was the miraculous “Spatial Force of the Shi Wu Wings.” Just a few threads of that unique spatial force, emitted through the Shi Wu Wings.
That tiny bit…
Was enough to destroy every F9-grade mechanical puppet it touched.
“Regret it.”
“You dared to target me? Regret and suffer.” The Golden-Horned Beast roared in delight, vibrating its Shi Wu Wings again and again, charging repeatedly into the million puppet ranks. A vast number of mechanical puppets fell from the sky, powerless. As they fell, the Golden-Horned Beast’s clone continuously gathered the powerless, defenseless puppets into its World Ring.
Though damaged, they could still be repaired.
Each F9-grade mechanical puppet was worth hundreds of Hunyuan. Even damaged, they were worth tens of Hunyuan.
In the blink of an eye—
The Golden-Horned Beast had collected hundreds of thousands of F9-grade mechanical puppets. The remaining puppets scattered in all directions, and even the eight factions’ 8 million F9-grade mechanical puppets, previously pursuing, now fled rapidly toward the nine pyramid-shaped flying vessels in the distance.
“Roar~~~” The Golden-Horned Beast flapped its wings, leaving three curved trails in the air, directly chasing another faction.
This time, however, it only managed to capture a few ten thousand puppets before the rest escaped.
…
The prerequisite for collecting mechanical puppets or life forms into the “World Ring” is the absence of resistance. If resistance is encountered, the collection fails. This was why the Golden-Horned Beast could only collect the puppets whose energy cores had been damaged.
Of course, there were alternative methods, such as—its innate ability “Devouring.”
Complete forced devouring.
However, this was also dangerous. If the resistance was too strong, such as in the case of the Golden-Horned Beast’s “Internal World,” it could potentially cause its Internal World to collapse.
…
“Ah~~~” In the distant cockpit of the flying vessel, the young warrior of the Mechanical Clan, Ciweika, clenched his teeth and let out a cold laugh. “How audacious, to seize so many of my mechanical puppets. The Silver-Winged King… the Silver-Winged King indeed lives up to his title as a mighty Monarch Immortal. Truly formidable. But my fortune is not so easily devoured. I will make you vomit every last bit of it.”
“Nine Absolute Divine Kingdom!”
“Activate!”
Ciweika growled through clenched teeth.
This was his true trump card, a terrifying Mechanical Clan weapon specially crafted by his master, a Mechanical Clan super expert who had once faced life and death alongside him, treating him as a true brother. This weapon required high control conditions. The more powerful the weapon, the higher the requirements. Even the first form of the Shi Wu Wings required Luo Feng to reach the first layer of “Seven Transformations of the Divine Soul.”
It had to be a weapon Ciweika could control, yet still possess immense power.
His master had indeed invested great effort to personally create this “Nine Absolute Divine Kingdom.”
…
In the sky.
“Where is the enemy hiding?” The Golden-Horned Beast’s dark golden eyes scanned the surroundings. The countless F9-grade mechanical puppets had already fled into the nine pyramid-shaped flying vessels. The sky now held only the nine pyramids floating in nine directions. The Golden-Horned Beast could not locate the true body of the Mechanical Clan Immortal.
“Hu.”
Its wings flapped.
The Golden-Horned Beast directly charged toward one of the floating pyramids.
“Weng!” “Weng!” “Weng!” “Weng!” “Weng!” “Weng!” “Weng!” “Weng!” “Weng!”
Simultaneously, the nine pyramids emitted dazzling purple light, and their bases cracked open.
Hu! Countless purple streams of light flew from the bases, seemingly some special weapons… but before the Golden-Horned Beast could see clearly, the purple light on the nine pyramids suddenly intensified, bursting out in countless purple rays at another direction, connecting with each other at the speed of light.
As the countless purple rays intertwined, some directly wrapped around the Golden-Horned Beast.
“Roar~~ Roar~~~” The Golden-Horned Beast’s wings, like blades, wildly struggled, cutting through large amounts of purple rays, but even more purple rays wrapped around it.
Within moments of entanglement, the nine pyramids fully connected.
Boom!
The world transformed. The original surroundings vanished, replaced by a boundless expanse of purple space. The Golden-Horned Beast had been ensnared within the “Nine Absolute Divine Kingdom.”
