Chapter 329 Tearing Apart a 10,000-Meter Mech! The God of Slaughter Bai Qi Appears Upon Opening the
The far north, the gate to the Ruins.
There is no ice or snow here, only endless deep blue and deathly silence. The atmosphere here has been torn apart by some great force, forming a huge funnel-shaped hole that leads directly to outer space.
A colossal ship transformed from half an iceberg—the "Taotie"—is braving the fierce winds and squeezing into this restricted area.
On the deck, Li Xiaoyao was wrapped in two layers of military overcoats, his snot frozen into icicles, and he was still clutching the broken sword tightly in his hand.
"Young...Young Island Master, something's not right up ahead."
He didn't need to remind me.
In the deepest part of that void, a colossal object, large enough to obscure starlight, silently floats above the orbit.
That was a bronze mech that was over 10,000 meters tall.
It was enormous, so enormous that the "Taotie" beneath Lu Sheng's feet looked like a speck of dust floating at the giant's feet. The mecha was forged entirely from an unknown, dark metal, its surface covered with craters left by meteorite impacts—medals of time and war.
It holds a giant sword that is six kilometers long, with the tip pointing at the earth, like a silent gravedigger watching over this huge graveyard.
[WARNING! You have entered the warning area of 'Xianqin·Demon Suppression Division'!]
[Target identified: Guardian of the Ruins – Prison-Suppressing Demon Armor (partially damaged).]
Threat Level: ???
The system's red light flashed wildly on Lu Sheng's retina.
"Buzz—!!!"
The mech's mountain-like head slowly turned, two eerie blue soul flames igniting in its eye sockets. There were no words, no warnings, not even the sluggishness of mechanical operation.
It raised its hand and swung its sword.
This sword strike was very slow.
It was so slow that even Li Xiaoyao could see the trajectory.
But the instant the sword struck, the space ahead parted neatly, like a scroll sliced open by a paper cutter. Several small meteorites floating in orbit disintegrated into cosmic dust without even a sound.
"That's... a rule-based slash!" Dao Yi screamed, his whisk nearly bald from fright.
"boom!"
The defensive shield surrounding the Taotie, formed by the Daoist auras of a hundred ancient powerhouses, shattered like a bubble after only half a second.
Lu Sheng stood at the bow of the ship, his black hair flying wildly.
He stared at the giant sword, powerful enough to cleave the entire Arctic ice plains in two, his eyes showing no fear, only the kind of fervor one feels when seeing a novel toy.
"It's quite big, but I don't know if there's enough filling."
Lu Sheng raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
"Men, the food is served."
roar--!!!
The ice layer of the Taotie exploded, and dozens of figures exuding terrifying auras soared into the sky. These were the immortal Qin heroes who had been "awakened" by Lu Sheng and had their energy channels reconnected.
Although he had not regained his senses, his fighting instincts remained.
The Supreme Elder of the Thunder Spirit Sect transformed into a thousand-foot-long thunder dragon, slamming into the mecha's knee joint; the Lord of the Crimson Sun Valley burned his remnant soul, transforming into a meteorite that crashed into the mecha's face.
however.
"when--!!!"
A metallic clang, loud enough to shatter eardrums, resounded throughout the world.
A pale golden energy ripple spread across the mech's surface. The attack, powerful enough to destroy a city, struck it without even scratching its surface. On the contrary, several weaker heroic spirits were shaken by the recoil, their souls becoming unstable and nearly falling apart on the spot.
This is the despair of industrialization.
Faced with sheer size and superior defense, any so-called skill is a joke.
"Tsk."
Lu Sheng curled his lip, looking at the group of heroic spirits who were being blasted away with some disdain.
"A bunch of expired seasoning packets, you really can't count on them."
He stretched his neck, and the 108 tubes in his body frantically delivered high-energy particles, pushing him to his peak condition.
"It seems the chef will have to do it himself."
Lu Sheng did not open his Dharma form.
Compared to that 10,000-meter mech, the 1,000-meter Dharma Image was nothing more than a slightly larger target.
What he wants is a decisive strike.
"boom!"
The Taotie suddenly sank.
Lu Sheng's figure disappeared.
When he reappeared, he had transformed into a streak of black and gold light, ignoring the resistance of the vacuum environment, and directly attached himself to the mecha's wrist that was holding the sword.
Tiny, yet deadly.
"Open it for me, you bastard!"
Lu Sheng formed his five fingers into claws, the imperial patterns flowing at his fingertips, and forcefully gripped the gaps in the indestructible alloy armor.
Sizzle—!!!
Sparks flew everywhere.
He was like a flea clinging to a giant, running wildly along the mecha's arm, braving the high-speed sword winds that could tear apart the Spirit King's body.
The mech seemed to have noticed the "bug".
Instead of slapping it with its hands, countless energy nozzles, each only the size of a grain of rice, burst forth from its body, radiating destructive energy waves.
shhhhhhhh!
A dense, crimson laser net swept across the surface of the mecha.
"Fancy and overly complicated."
Lu Sheng moved like a ghost, weaving through the gaps in the laser net, and even had the leisure to kick and shatter a charging nozzle.
ten seconds.
He rushed to the chest of the mech.
There, beneath the heavy armor plates, came a series of muffled rumbling sounds, like the heartbeat of a giant beast.
"I've found you."
Lu Sheng grinned, and the [Dragon Devouring Spear] materialized in his hand.
At the tip of the spear, the Azure Lotus Sword Intent intertwined with the Law of Desolation, transforming into a pitch-black singularity.
"Industrial can-opening method - targeted blasting!"
puff!
The Dragon Devourer Spear encountered no resistance, cutting through the armor plate like a hot knife through butter.
Lu Sheng's arm muscles bulged, and he roared, "Rise!!!"
Creak—Bang!
He pried up a special alloy armor plate the size of a football field, revealing a complex network of wires and pipes underneath.
It doesn't contain sophisticated electronic components.
Rather... it is flesh and blood.
Countless thick, still-wriggling dark red blood vessels were intertwined with the cold mechanical drive shaft, emitting a nauseating stench.
"It's that disgusting half-mechanical, half-biological thing again."
Lu Sheng frowned, but didn't stop moving.
He was like a virus that had burrowed into the human body, following the torn wound and plunging headlong into the mecha's inner world.
……
Inside the mecha was a huge maze.
Everywhere there were flashing red warning lights and pipes spewing out high-temperature steam.
On the wall, mechanical tentacles sensed the intruder and pounced on it frantically.
Lu Sheng didn't even look at it.
The Dragon Devourer Spear danced in his hands, transforming into a black storm.
Wherever it goes, whether it's an alloy tentacle or a bio-defense beast, it grinds them all into scrap metal and mangled flesh.
[Ding! Defeat 'Mech Immunity Guardian', Energy Points +2000.]
[Ding! Disrupted 'Secondary Energy Circuit', Energy Points +5000.]
The system notification sounds were flashing wildly, like a screen being refreshed.
Lu Sheng carved three thousand meters into the tunnel.
at last.
There's no road ahead.
What blocked his way was a bronze gate engraved with the ancient Qin script.
There was no lock on the door.
There was only one huge, dripping blood "kill" character.
The mere word, with its murderous aura of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, caused the imperial runes within Lu Sheng's body to sting.
"That's interesting."
Lu Sheng licked his lips; this taste was much more authentic than the one in the metal shell outside.
"Thump!"
He kicked the bronze door.
The door was closed.
The entire mecha trembled violently.
"You won't open the door? Then I'll just demolish it."
Lu Sheng took a half step back, took a deep breath, and the black light on the Dragon Devouring Spear surged. That was his strongest single-point destructive technique at present - [Desolate God Thorn].
Boom!!!
The bronze gate shattered with a crash.
The smoke and dust cleared.
Lu Sheng's pupils contracted slightly as he saw the scene behind the door.
This isn't some high-tech cockpit.
There are no complicated dials.
It's like an ancient tomb.
The four walls were lit by ever-burning lamps, and in the very center, instead of a control panel, there was a huge...
Ancient bronze coffin.
The coffin was a hundred meters long, and nine chains made of star gold locked it from all sides, forcibly extracting the immense energy emanating from within and transferring it to various parts of the mecha.
This is the power source of this 10,000-meter-long mech.
That is, the so-called... driver.
【Dragon Eyes】Activate automatically.
His gaze pierced through the thick bronze coffin walls, and Lu Sheng saw the person lying inside.
He was a man dressed in black Qin armor, with a face as if carved by a knife and axe.
His eyes were closed, a broken sword was stuck in his chest, and he had already stopped breathing.
But at his spiritual altar, a blood-red remnant soul was burning with extreme ferocity, driving this massive weapon of war.
A line of blood-red characters slowly appeared before Lu Sheng's eyes:
【Species: Immortal Qin - Human Butcher (Remnant Soul Obsession)】
[Real Name: Bai Qi]
[Status: Eternal Guardian (Gone Mad)]
【energy level:???】
[Note: Four hundred thousand were slaughtered to forge this single sword. He is the sharpest blade of the Immortal Qin Dynasty, and also its most tragic soul.]
Bai Qi?
That legendary god of war who struck fear into the hearts of six kingdoms?
Lu Sheng tightened his grip on the gun.
Just then.
"Click..."
Suddenly, a corner of the bronze coffin lid was moved away.
A strong, almost tangible stench of blood instantly filled the entire tomb chamber.
That wasn't a taste, but pure killing intent.
Immediately afterwards, a hoarse, desolate voice, as if from two thousand years ago, resounded in Lu Sheng's sea of consciousness.
"Who...?"
"Dare to trespass into my torture chamber?"
boom!
The air around the tomb chamber froze instantly.
Countless illusory terracotta warrior figures emerged from the shadows. They had no facial features, only pairs of eyes burning with ghostly flames, and the long spears in their hands were all pointed at Lu Sheng.
This is not an illusion.
This is Bai Qi's [God of Slaughter Domain].
In this realm, those whose will is not strong enough will be instantly turned into idiots by the wails of those 400,000 wronged souls.
But Lu Sheng smiled.
Instead of retreating, he stepped forward, his spear tip pointing directly at the bronze coffin.
"The torture chamber?"
Lu Sheng's eyes flashed with a gray light, and although the phantom of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor behind him was suppressed, it still stubbornly raised its head.
"To me, this is more like a..."
"Lunchbox".
He grinned, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth, his eyes even more insane than those of a killing god.
"Bai Qi, right?"
"I heard your killing intent is very potent..."
"Would you mind sharing a bite with me?"
