[High-level alien life form detected! Biological template analysis failed! Match rate less than 1%!]
[Unknown life form! Threat level: Devastating!]
[Target priority reassessment: Highest level! Exceeds the current predetermined target priority!]
As the fiery rain descended, after a brief moment of confusion, Steel Casting immediately made the most "rational" judgment:
[Final logic decision: Survival first!]
[Emergency Order: Eliminate Unknown Aerial Threat!]
In an instant, the cannons that had just gathered destructive power to completely annihilate Li Yu all turned around amidst a dense sound of mechanical rotation.
Locked onto the giant fiery shadow spreading its wings and descending from the burning sea of clouds in the sky!
[Fire!]
The next second, the steel-cast units launched their attack simultaneously.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!"
Numerous cluster launchers, missile pods, and energy beam particles are fired simultaneously at the same frequency.
Like a meteor shower flying in reverse, it poured down on the phoenix in the sky!
The fiery rain in the sky seemed to be infused with even more energy, instantly transforming into billions of flaming spears that plummeted downwards at an accelerated pace!
"boom!!!!"
The tidal wave of firepower and the raging flames falling from the sky collided violently in mid-air!
For a moment, the world lost its color, and the dazzling light was like a small sun exploding in the sky, instantly engulfing everyone's vision.
What followed was a series of loud explosions.
The recoiled artillery fire and the falling rain of fire annihilated, detonated, and tore at each other!
When vision returned, countless exploding fireballs and molten metal slid down from the sky, and the surroundings were a world of flames.
The scene was like the end of the world, enough to be unforgettable for any witness!
[Clear command overwrite! Continue firing!]
After rapidly gathering energy, the second wave of energy cannons roared again, and missiles were launched in salvo.
Seemingly not expecting these iron contraptions to dare attack it, a glint of intelligence flashed in the phoenix's eyes.
"唳——!!!"
A phoenix cry that resounded through the sky shook the valley.
The phoenix in the sky opened its glass-cast beak and breathed gently in and out.
The white-gold flames breathed out, like a celestial river flowing backwards, slowly blowing down.
The second wave of attacks that came hurtling in were melted by the extreme heat as they arrived.
Immediately afterwards, the phoenix's huge wings snapped shut, and its massive body, like a falling sun, swooped down towards the steel-cast legion on the ground with earth-shattering power!
Behind the phoenix's swooping trajectory, a white-gold flame trail stretched across the sky, the air ionizing under the high temperature and crackling with explosive sounds!
Wherever it passed, space itself distorted slightly, as if unable to withstand the terrifying power it contained!
high temperature!
Unimaginable high temperatures instantly enveloped the entire steel-cast legion!
Before the phoenix could even swoop down, the extreme heat had already scorched the entire area where the steel-cast legion was located.
Those super alloys that are resistant to cold and heat, corrosion, and strong enough to withstand Li Yu's arrow have completely lost all meaning under the holy flames of the phoenix's platinum color.
The massive alloy bodies of the steel castings began to soften like candles, twisting and deforming!
The massive superalloy shield of the fortress steel melted and dripped directly from the solid state, turning into scalding hot metal droplets!
The dense heavy artillery barrels drooped down slowly like noodles, quickly melting into pools of molten iron!
"Bang! Bang!"
"boom--!"
One after another, the scarlet mechanical monoculars exploded under the high temperature.
The internal energy core and weapon systems also failed to withstand the terrifying heat and exploded one after another, emitting a dull bang!
It was just a dive, a baptism of fire!
The steel-cast legion on the ground resembled puddles of metallic sludge, reduced to a mass of smoking, twisted metal debris and molten metal, lying motionless on the scorching earth...
This seemingly invincible torrent of steel, the mechanical legion that had filled Xiao Zhan and Bai Ya with despair, was utterly reduced to nothingness under the scorching heat of the phoenix, which was like a divine punishment!
At that moment, the world seemed to be muted, and time seemed to slow down.
Han Qing's body was stiff as iron, his thoughts were completely frozen, and his mind was blank.
The scene before him, which subverted his understanding and exceeded his imagination, almost completely shattered his worldview.
Melting steel?! This is a power that no flying beast could possibly possess!
"No...no...run! We have to get out of here..."
Han Qing managed to squeeze out a few broken and trembling syllables, but his legs seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move.
He tried to deploy a barrier and use his spatial abilities to escape, but found that the surrounding space had been completely sealed off by the high temperature. An absolute suppression originating from the level of rules rendered his spatial abilities completely ineffective.
An overwhelming sense of regret welled up within him, relentlessly gnawing at his heart.
Han Qing regretted it!
I regret not fleeing immediately!
I regret not taking advantage of the chaos to escape when the steel-casted creature launched its attack!
I regret... why did he stay?
Witnessing the firebird descend upon him plunged him into such a terrifying and irredeemable predicament!
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the enormous phoenix, descending like a god, crashed to the ground.
With a random and elegant turn, it landed lightly in front of Li Yu.
Its wings, covered in platinum flames, folded up, and it moved a little closer to Li Yu in a friendly manner.
The terrifyingly high temperature, enough to vaporize superalloys in an instant, turned into a gentle and warm spring breeze in front of Li Yu, as if they were originally from the same source.
Seeing the phoenix lower its head slightly, Li Yu stepped forward and gently patted its shimmering chest, whispering:
"You've come at the perfect time."
Upon hearing this, the phoenix lowered its noble head even further, almost touching Li Yu's palm.
Its eyes, burning with platinum flames, revealed not only intimacy, but also a sense of peace in having found a home.
As the Star Envoy of the previous generation's Tenth Star Lord, its power was originally of the same origin as the Star Lord's. Moreover, it inherited its master's weapon and became the current Tenth Star Lord, Li Yu.
From now on, it will become Li Yu's Star Messenger in a completely new form, fulfilling the duties left to it by its master.
The eyes on the phoenix bow gazed at the phoenix before it, emitting a lazy ripple:
"You're absorbing energy way too slowly. I thought you were going to stay on that floating island forever."
"However, you arrived just in time this time. If you had been any later, Li Yu would probably have been 'eaten' by those iron lumps."
It belongs to the same ancient beast race as the Phoenix, and now it has become Li Yu's Star Envoy. The Nightmare Beast's similar situation makes it feel more balanced, and it talks freely with a unique tacit understanding.
Hearing the Nightmare Beast's mockery, the Phoenix glanced at the surrounding steel-cast wreckage and let out a disdainful low cry, clearly not believing that these iron things alone could 'eat' Li Yu.
