At this moment, the battle in the Nine Heavens intensified. Daozu Hongjun, relying on the suppression of the local Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Desolate, defeated the enemy elders step by step.
Hou Tu and Duo Bao worked hand in hand, preventing the elder from gaining any advantage. Duo Bao's intensive treasure attack, like a torrential rain, left the elder severely injured.
As time slowly passed, the Asian side, whether it was the high-ranking elders or the lords and generals below, all showed an obvious trend of retreat.
More crucially, the Jade Emperor achieved a breakthrough at this crucial moment. His arrival was like a shot in the arm for the prehistoric army, greatly boosting their morale. The Asian camp, unable to resist, was forced to retreat.
Tongtian and his men seized the opportunity to pursue the enemy, forcing them out of the Demon-Subduing Pass. Seeing the situation was hopeless, the two elders struggled to break free from Hongjun, Houtu, and Duobao, decisively retreating to their dome fortress. Instantly, enthusiastic cheers erupted from the prehistoric world, reaching the heavens.
However, most people did not notice that Yu Kai and Emperor Shi quietly hid their figures, followed the defeated mecha army like ghosts, and returned to the dome fortress.
Before Yu Kai left, he only informed Di Jiang and Zhu Jiuyin of the incident. Watching him walk away, Di Jiang's face was filled with worry.
Zhu Jiuyin came to Dijiang's side and said through voice transmission, "Don't worry, big brother. I've asked Seventh Sister to help with deduction. She said that although Yu Kai will encounter dangers on this trip, his life is not in danger. On the contrary, he will usher in a great opportunity!"
"But that's the Lingji Immortal Realm! And they're convinced that Yu Kai killed the Eighth Prince. How can I not be worried?" Di Jiang sighed and said helplessly, "If I weren't worried about being exposed in such a large crowd, I really want to accompany him on this trip!"
Zhu Jiuyin comforted him, "With the powerful Saint Emperor Devouring Emperor by his side, nothing will happen. Even if his identity is accidentally exposed, with the Devouring Emperor's superb control over the formation, he will definitely be able to take him away safely!"
"Alas! We can only hope that they are safe. In addition, Yu Kai asked us to be wary of Zhang Qiming, he might do something bad to us!" Di Jiang said, his eyes involuntarily cast on Zhang Qiming beside Hongjun.
Zhang Qiming happened to be looking over. He smiled, flew over, and respectfully bowed, saying, "Junior Zhang Qiming, greetings to all the senior witch ancestors!"
"Hmph! What are you doing here?" Zhu Rong asked coldly with a stern face.
"I want to ask why Yu Kai and Shi Di are missing?" Zhang Qiming had actually just discovered that the two had disappeared.
"My disciple and Emperor Shi went to the vast fairyland. Why, do you want to go too?" Zhu Rong responded according to Dijiang's instructions.
"The vast fairyland! You actually know about the vast fairyland?" Zhang Qiming really didn't expect that these ancient witches knew so much.
"My disciple discovered a space crack during the battle and sensed the breath of his child from it, so he and the Devouring Emperor chased in. As for whether he went to the vast fairyland, we are just guessing!" Zhu Jiuyin looked at Zhang Qiming and said calmly.
"Did he leave any spatial coordinates?" Zhang Qiming asked.
"Are you done yet? Get out of here now, don't force me to burn you with fire!" Zhu Rong's murderous intent was revealed, and flames around him were roaring and making crackling sounds.
Zhang Qiming showed no fear. He knew Hongjun was nearby, and even if the ancient witches attacked, they couldn't hurt him at all. But he also knew that asking further would yield no results. As for Yu Kai's whereabouts, he would have to ask Hongjun for help in deducing.
Elsewhere, Yu Kai and Emperor Shi, who were in the Dome Fortress, had successfully blended in among the battered mechas. These mechas were severely damaged and were being transported back to Asia, the core planet of the Spiritual Machine Immortal Realm, for reforging.
Their disguises were undetectable, and they successfully boarded a massive spaceship. After the spaceship opened a wormhole, they plunged through. Two months later, they finally emerged from the wormhole and arrived at the Spiritual Machine Fairyland.
Yu Kai and Shi Di looked out the window of the spaceship, seeing nothing but beautiful stars, as well as spaceships and flying saucers shuttling back and forth. The flying saucers were much smaller than the spaceships, which were like massive aircraft carriers, capable of accommodating countless flying saucers.
Over the past two months, Zixiao has fused numerous valuable items with the armor aboard the ship. In the process, she not only gained a wealth of information about Asia, but also significantly enhanced her own abilities. The mechas she now conjures are indistinguishable from the real thing in terms of demeanor, appearance, and functionality. These mechas primarily derive their energy from simulating the spiritual energy controlled by the cultivators.
Of course, the higher the level of the mecha, the greater its power. Mechas like those used by Overlords, Elders, and Overlords are all crafted from Chaos Entropy Crystals, collected over countless eons. Chaos Entropy Crystals are a product of time and space from the dawn of time. This material, beyond conventional understanding, essentially embodies the ultimate law of the universe, "entropy increase." They can be described as "anti-heavenly weapons" crafted by mortal wisdom, truly achieving a dimensional challenge to the mythological system through technological civilization. These divine artifacts are now extinct, which is why Elders and Emperors fought so fiercely for them after the Overlord's fall. Once obtained, combat capabilities would be greatly enhanced.
The Spiritual Machine Immortal Realm is controlled by the royal family of the Wujin Temple. When the Overlord is absent, the Emperor is supreme authority. Yu Kai also learned some secrets: now that the Overlord has fallen, his appointed successor has failed to immediately control the remaining Overlord mecha. For years, the Emperor and the Five Elders have coveted the "Authentication Ring" held by the successor, which is the root cause of the civil unrest in the Spiritual Machine Immortal Realm.
However, the death of the Eighth Prince, Zhu Zhi, brought them some clarity. When the Lord passed away, the temple prophet left a prophecy: "The royal family dies, and the spiritual machinery collapses!" At first, they didn't understand the deeper meaning. But after learning that the Eighth Prince had been assassinated, they all felt something was amiss. After all, in all the countless years, no royal disciple had ever been assassinated.
The Emperor and the five elders went to pay homage to the prophet. The prophet burst into tears and shouted madly: "The destiny has begun, the Lingji Immortal Realm is about to collapse! It's over... everything is over!" Everyone's mood suddenly became heavy, because the prophet's predictions had never been wrong.
No one wanted to be blamed for the Lingji Immortal Realm's crimes. Ultimately, after deliberation, they released the imprisoned heir, recognizing her as the Overlord, but not allowing her to take control of the Overlord Mecha. True power remained in their hands. They also sent two elders to teach Honghuang a painful lesson, avenging the Eighth Prince while seizing the opportunity to conquer Honghuang and escape their fate of a short lifespan.
I have been testing many book titles these days. I would like to ask everyone to help add them to my bookshelf and urge me to update them. I would be very grateful if you could read for half an hour and give me a five-star rating!
