Deep within the starry sea, the steel fortress suspended on a planetary ring glowed brightly, like a cold, metallic star, drifting alone in the cosmic abyss. Within the central laboratory, the psychic radiance of various precision instruments intertwined, forming a dazzling, cold curtain of light. Experimenters shuttled among the intricate apparatus, their psychic armor gleaming with a cool metallic texture under the fluorescent light. A massive holographic screen projected a three-dimensional model of a mech, its surroundings a dense web of runic calculations, monitoring its psychic fluctuations, tactical calculation paths, and connection status in real time.

Ye Tiandi stood quietly at the lab table, a massive mechanical cabin behind him. The hatch slowly opened, revealing the Tiandi mecha dormant within. Psionic conduits, like entrenched spiritual veins, connected Ye Tiandi's limbs to the mecha. The cold metal and flesh blended seamlessly, exuding a coldness beyond human. Half of his face was covered by psionic armor, his eyes slightly closed, as if he were still lost in thought. However, the psychic energy flowing through the connecting nodes indicated that his consciousness had begun to synchronize with the mecha.

"All indicators are normal, and the psychic energy fluctuations are stable."

"The virtual battlefield has been built and successfully connected to the spiritual battlefield. Testing is ready."

The experiment supervisor's voice was deep and steady in the headset: "Lord Ye Tiandi, this is the first full-link test of the Nascent Soul-class mecha. We will simulate a real battlefield environment. You need to annihilate sixty Jindan-class AI virtual mechas within a limited time. Mission requirements: zero damage, optimal tactical efficiency."

Ye Tiandi slowly opened his eyes, his pupils shrinking slightly, and a cold arc of light flashed across his mechanized irises. He tilted his head slightly, a faint smile rising at the corner of his lips, and his voice was calm but sharp: "Begin."

The mechanical cabin's energy core activated, a low hum echoing through the laboratory. The runic patterns on the psychic energy transmission pipelines illuminated one by one, and veins of psychic energy emerged from the silver armor of the Tiandi mecha, spreading across the mecha like an ancient formation. Ye Tiandi's body trembled slightly, and then completely merged with the mecha. He could clearly feel every pulse of the psychic engine, as if a second heart was resonating with his will.

A holographic projection slowly unfolded, framing the battlefield in a crumbling, ruined city. Broken towers teetered in the psychic storm, the ground strewn with battle-worn debris. Psionic sparks danced between shattered runic circles, flickering like ghosts. The air was thick with smoke and volatile psychic fluctuations, as if the world still lingered with the echoes of battle from a previous era.

Sixty Jindan-level AI virtual mechas lined up neatly opposite stood silently, with dark red psychic cores suspended at their cores, like silent warriors waiting for orders. Once the mission was triggered, they would ruthlessly pounce on the target.

Ye Tiandi controlled the Tiandi mecha and slowly took a step forward. A trace of psychic vibration appeared on the ground instantly. The desolate dust was swept up by the powerful airflow. The psychic circuit of the Tiandi mecha flowed, and rays of light spread along the metal surface. Faintly, the whole mecha seemed like an awakened god of war.

"Is this what the laboratory calls a difficulty test?" Ye Tiandi sneered in a low voice, holding the control stick tightly with both hands, and his thoughts were synchronized - the right arm of the mecha suddenly shook, and a light blade condensed by pure spiritual energy appeared out of thin air. As it trembled slightly, golden runes appeared on the surface of the blade, shining brightly on the dark battlefield.

"The connection with the Emperor Mecha is complete, and the psychic output is increased to 50%."

The opposing AI mecha group sensed the target's activation and collectively adjusted their combat mode. Their psychic cannons locked onto the Emperor's mecha. Immediately afterwards, countless beams of light poured down like a torrential rain. The scorching psychic ballistics tore through the air, and the shock wave of the explosion instantly engulfed the entire battlefield in light.

However, under such a violent attack, Ye Tiandi controlled the mecha to shuttle through the artillery fire at an extremely calm pace. Every psychic explosion barely brushed past his mecha, but he seemed to have already seen through all the attack trajectories and accurately avoided all damage.

"The speed has met the standard, and the psychic defense absorption rate has reached 90%." The experimenters stared at the data intently, with a hint of uncontrollable shock in their tone.

Ye Tiandi smiled faintly, and the Tiandi mecha suddenly accelerated. Its massive thrusters erupted with blazing psychic flames, and the entire mecha appeared among the enemy group as if it had teleported. The light blade slashed horizontally, and a stunning psychic slash tore through the darkness, like thunder from the sky. In an instant, ten AI mechas were directly severed, and their psychic cores exploded with a loud bang. The shockwave of the explosion swept up a huge energy storm, throwing the debris high into the sky.

Inside the lab, data jumped wildly, and a voice announcement sounded: "Ten units destroyed."

Ye Tiandi stood in the aftermath of the explosion. The psychic shockwave had scratched a few shallow marks on the armor of his Tiandi mecha, but the overall structure remained intact. He slowly raised his head, his gaze coldly scanning the remaining enemies, like a god looking down at ants.

"Go on." His voice was calm, yet filled with unquestionable authority.

The Emperor Mecha took another step forward, and the next massacre was about to begin.

Ye Tiandi ruthlessly controlled the Tiandi mecha, stalking the battlefield like the Grim Reaper. Every strike was unerringly precise, each slash decimating the AI ​​mecha. Blades of psychic light sliced ​​through the darkness, the battlefield trembling with the shockwaves of explosions. Yet, the mecha he piloted remained unmoved, a towering god of war, unmatched.

"The psychic energy burst rate has reached 97%, and the output power is close to the peak level of the Void Refining cultivator!"

The experiment director stared at the screen intently, his tone filled with disbelief. "He only activated 50% of the energy output, and he was able to achieve this. If it was fully activated..."
