In the Spirit Realm battlefield, sparks flew in the valley as dozens of mechs engaged in fierce combat. However, at the most intense moment of the battle, two sneaky mechs suddenly darted out one...
Deep within the Baixing Sect, Ming Xuanzi's body completely merged with the machinery, his divine power overwhelming the entire crowd. The mechanical equipment originally used for support and combat was now absorbed by him, becoming part of his body. Massive metal tentacles extended, each wave unleashing a violent storm of psychic energy.
The Star Lord's face darkened, a radiance of spiritual energy enveloping him. With a cold shout, the full force of his Spiritual Transformation Stage erupted, and the mighty spiritual sword in his hand slashed towards Ming Xuanzi: "Ming Xuanzi! Today is the day you die!"
The sword's light surged like the Milky Way, slashing straight at the Hundred Star Sect. However, Ming Xuanzi sneered coldly and waved his mechanical tentacles, assembling thousands of Jindan-class mechas into a massive formation to block the giant psychic sword. The blast engulfed everything, but when the light faded, the formation remained intact.
Ming Xuanzi sneered, "Star Lord, your time has passed! Your ridiculous traditional cultivation is worthless in front of me."
The Star Lord was furious, yet powerless. Ming Xuanzi controlled Yunxuan Star's psychic energy network, absorbing a constant flow of psychic energy to strengthen himself. He looked down at the Star Lord and the coalition forces and said coldly, "Stay where you are and watch me demonstrate the true form of a Divine Transformation cultivator."
Deep within the network, Team Zero was closing in on the Hundred Star Sect's core data warehouse. Xiang Fan swiftly operated his mecha, injecting psychic runes into the warehouse's outer defenses. The Gu Master coordinated with him, releasing a large number of tracking insect Gu to accelerate the cracking.
"Almost there! Give me another thirty seconds!" the Gu Master shouted in a deep voice.
Suddenly, a huge voice shook the virtual network and the real world: "Who are you? Zero? No! Stop! You lowly ants, just ants practicing Qi training and building a foundation, don't touch it!"
This was Ming Xuanzi's voice, and his tone was filled with unprecedented panic.
Xiang Fan raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "It seems that we have encountered what he is really afraid of."
Ye Tiandi and a team of AI mechas suddenly appeared in front of the data warehouse. The giant virtual Jindan mecha he drove was made entirely of black gold, with beams of psychic energy surrounding its body, emitting a deadly aura.
"Zero, do you think you can win by taking this place? I will let you know the price of daring to challenge the Hundred Star Sect!"
Xiang Fan calmly commanded: "Ling Ruochen, Ling Ruoxi, Shadow Killer, Black Tortoise Guard, cover us!"
Ling Ruochen said with a sly smile, "Boss, for your great cause, I, Ling Ruochen, will fight to the death! But... my flying sword system is a bit old, remember to help me reimburse it!"
After saying that, he turned on the overclocking mode of the mecha and turned into a ray of psychic light and rushed towards Ye Tiandi's mecha group.
The Shadow Killer laughed heartily. "Damn, there's even this kind of operation? Boss, my greatsword is pretty old too, let's get rid of it!"
Ling Ruoxi said with a sweet smile in the communication channel: "Boss, I've set my eyes on a very expensive mecha skin, understand?"
The Xuanwu guard chuckled and said, "Boss, it's time to replace my shield."
Xiang Fan listened to the "extortion" voice on the communication channel and covered his face: "No! I really don't have that much private money!"
The Gu Master replied sinisterly, "Boss, I don't know what they said, but my price is always fair. Just five hundred virtual spirit stones, thank you!" After saying that, he also turned on the overclocking mode and pounced towards Ye Tiandi's group of mechas.
Ling Ruochen's mecha slammed into Ming Xuanzi's virtual mecha corps like a meteor, blasting psychic energy everywhere, destroying several AI mechas. He shouted, "Come on! Baixing Sect, experience my power!"
However, the huge load brought by the overclocking mode made Ling Ruochen's mecha unable to sustain for long, and it was soon completely destroyed by the AI mecha group.
"Bang!" Ling Ruochen's mecha turned into countless data fragments and dissipated.
The Shadow Killer took over, laughing and wielding his giant sword. He swept through several AI mechas but was also defeated: "Boss, my sacrifice must be worth it!"
Ling Ruoxi followed closely behind, shouting into the communication channel, "Cousin, I'm much better than you! Boss, my skin is reserved!"
The Xuanwu guards roared and rushed into the enemy camp, blocking wave after wave of attacks to buy the last time for Xiang Fan.
The Gu Master smiled grimly in front of the core position: "Okay, my little guys, go in!" He released the insect Gu and poison Gu together, and the last layer of defense of the warehouse was completely broken.
On the outskirts of the battlefield, Ling Ruochen was the first to resurrect, piloting his new mecha back to the Star Lord Mansion's worship corps' base. He angrily told Elder Xing Heng, "There's nothing in there. I just played a game of Black Tiger Heart-Eating and Monkey Stealing Peaches, and I was also planning to unleash that Ming Xuanzi's inner demon."
Elder Xing Heng was completely bewildered. His expression changed drastically when he came to his senses. "What?! You...you want to release Ming Xuanzi's inner demon?"
Ling Ruoxi then revived and ate melon seeds while jokingly saying, "Cousin, are we being too harsh on the boss?"
The Shadow Killer laughed heartily: "It's okay, I've secretly checked the boss's account. He has a lot of private money saved up, so blackmailing him is nothing."
The Xuanwu guard added naively, "Hey, when I came out, the boss seemed to be dancing with joy."
The Gu Master also returned to the periphery and said with a sinister smile, "I can prove it. When I said it only cost 500 virtual spirit stones, the boss's tone was almost crying."
Ling Ruochen sighed: "You are really cruel."
Deep within the core, Xiang Fan and the Gu Master finally completed the injection of the insect Gu, and a large amount of sealed data began to flicker. Ming Xuanzi's clone appeared in the virtual core, roaring frantically, "Stop! Don't open it! Do you know what you are doing?!"
Xiang Fan sneered: "I know, isn't it just to get your heart back?"
In reality, Ming Xuanzi's movements suddenly stopped. He looked down at his chest, a trace of fear in his eyes: "No... This is impossible!"
