Chapter 418 Mechanical Lifeforms Comparable to the Ninth Realm
"Um?"
The strong reaction force made Xiao Weiqing's palm go numb.
"Whoosh~ Whoosh~~"
A black figure darted out from inside the palace gate.
"retreat!"
Xiao Weiqing gave a low shout to remind the other three, and at the same time retreated rapidly.
He appeared a hundred meters away in a flash.
A black metal rod, about three feet in diameter and several hundred meters long, shot out.
No.
It wasn't a single piece, but rather segments, each nearly a meter long, bending into huge arcs in the air, radiating a sharp, cold light.
"This is....."
"A scorpion's tail?"
Xiao Weiqing looked closely and realized that he seemed to have seen this thing somewhere before.
Click click click~~
The sound of metal footsteps on the floor tiles came from behind, heavy and powerful.
"Is it really a scorpion?"
Xiao Weiqing was startled. A figure emerged from the main gate of the temple—a giant black scorpion, twenty meters long and seven meters high, with its hundreds-of-meters-long stinger attached to its tail.
Whoosh~~
The tail spike, hundreds of meters long, quickly retracted, shrinking back to twenty meters in length.
"What happened?"
The sudden change startled Xie Zhiyuan and his two companions.
They considered many possibilities before landing on the island. After all, the Azure Dragon Temple has always been mysterious, and it's not unreasonable to make any kind of plans.
But unexpectedly.
A creature that did not belong to Earth emerged from the temple. It possessed the aura of a living being and was extremely powerful, but it did not have a physical body.
The giant black scorpion was made entirely of an unknown metal.
This made the three of them even more vigilant.
"Hiss...hiss..."
The giant black scorpion roared at Xiao Weiqing and suddenly attacked.
The tail stinger shot out rapidly, more than twice as fast as before.
Ding!Ding!
Xiao Weiqing held the Myriad Calamities in both hands, and the Great Sun Burning Heaven Flame ignited the blade.
"cut!"
The blade collided violently with the thick tail spike.
Rumble~
A visible shockwave erupted from the point of impact, forcing Xiao Weiqing back.
"So hard?"
Xiao Weiqing was secretly shocked. He had just used all his strength. When Wan Jie struck the tail spike, it only cut less than half a foot in and recovered in the blink of an eye.
In his mind, he was prepared to cut it off directly.
"Could it be that this mechanical life form's entire body is comparable to a star-level weapon?"
Without waiting to think.
The black tail thorn lashed out again.
Faced with a rapid attack.
"Illusory Light!"
Xiao Weiqing was not prepared to confront it head-on. Instead, he used his movement technique to stay close to the tail stinger and, in a few flashes, arrived above the black giant scorpion.
"Click~ Click~~"
Two giant scorpion pincers clamped down on Xiao Weiqing.
"Thousand Shadows!"
moment.
A dozen or so figures of Xiao Weiqing appeared.
The black giant scorpion moved with incredible speed, instantly dismembering several figures.
but.
None of those are Xiao Weiqing's true form.
"All things!"
Xiao Weiqing glared angrily at the giant black scorpion, but like a giant warrior, he flipped a mountain and slammed it hard onto the scorpion's back.
Boom~~
With terrifying force, the giant black scorpion crashed down, cracking the floor tiles at the temple entrance.
The entire ground where the temple was located trembled.
But this still did not end the life of the giant black scorpion.
Wow!
The thick tail spike stabbed at Xiao Weiqing from behind, but Xiao Weiqing dodged it and it pierced the ground several meters deep.
Xiao Weiqing flashed back into the air, escaping the black giant scorpion's attack range.
"That's really tough."
Xie Zhiyuan and the other two flew to his side.
"What is this?"
Faced with Xie Zhiyuan's question, Dongfang Baichen and Palace Master Yun Shu shook their heads, neither of them had ever seen such a creature before.
Xiao Weiqing said solemnly, "This should be a mechanical life form."
"A mechanical life form?"
The three were puzzled.
Xiao Weiqing nodded and explained, "I once accepted a mission from the Azure Dragon Token and saw something similar on a spaceship."
Xie Zhiyuan seemed to remember something and asked, "Is it on the Starry Sky you mentioned?"
"Hmm, not bad."
"However, those mechanical lifeforms are only at the fourth level of strength, and their characteristics are obvious. Their limbs are not like those of animals, but are made of sharp metal."
"And this mechanical life form is a complete entity, with a physical strength that exceeds the eighth or even ninth realm."
Another point.
The mechanical life form currently appears no different from a normal living being, and it is difficult to detect anything unusual without using mental energy to investigate.
The group looked down at the giant black scorpion.
The giant black scorpion did not attack the four people; it seemed to be merely guarding the temple gate.
"Senior Dongfang, was the spying you felt last time you came with my teacher this?" Xiao Weiqing asked.
Dongfang Baichen frowned.
"no."
"That kind of spying is at the level of the soul. This mechanical life form seems to have low intelligence and no soul, only a powerful body."
"Moreover, I don't feel that way now. Logically, the Azure Dragon Envoy shouldn't be like this when his life is threatened."
Dongfang Baichen was also a little confused.
"What do we do now?"
Xie Zhiyuan asked, "This life form seems to have no consciousness of its own; it's not easy for him to deal with."
The same applies to Dongfang Baichen.
The black giant scorpion has thick skin and a strong ability to recover, making his methods quite laborious.
"I'll take care of it."
Xiao Weiqing plummeted rapidly; he already knew how to deal with the giant black scorpion.
Faced with the murderous aura of Xiao Weiqing, the black giant scorpion instinctively shot out its stinger, the tip of which gleamed coldly as it sliced through the air.
"Whoosh~"
Xiao Weiqing accelerated, easily dodging the tail spikes, and arrived at low altitude.
"Thousand Shadows~"
Xiao Weiqing multiplied from one to two, from two to four...
moment.
Nearly a hundred Xiao Weiqings appeared.
The giant black scorpion twisted its body and waved its pincers.
"Die!"
Dozens of Xiao Weiqing, each holding a dagger, inserted it into the giant scorpion's joints, and the daggers burst into terrifying flames.
"burst!"
bang~
The Great Sun Burning Heaven Flame instantly unleashed its ultimate power, blasting the giant black scorpion into hundreds of pieces.
After the black giant scorpion's body exploded, a lump of green flesh was revealed in its chest cavity, still wriggling and extending tentacles to connect with the surrounding broken black metal.
These bizarre phenomena sent chills down Xiao Weiqing's spine.
Xie Zhiyuan and the other two landed on the ground and frowned upon seeing the scene.
"Wei Qing, you're saying this creature is also a civilized race?"
"Yes, some things we found on the Star Dome, along with information left by our predecessors, indicate that this is indeed a civilized race, and they seem to be quite powerful."
With a casual wave of his hand.
The Great Sun Burning Flame clung to the green chunks of meat.
sizzle~~~
The chunk of meat emitted a strange, low-frequency hissing sound, which was extremely sharp.
Fortunately, this situation only lasted for a moment.
In less than a second, the Great Sun Burning Flame vaporized the entire chunk of meat. Without the protection of the black metal, the meat was no longer anything special.
"Shall we go in?"
Xie Zhiyuan looked towards the temple gate.
It was pitch black inside, and they had no idea what awaited them.
Xiao Weiqing shook his head, "No, it's best not to go into the temple if we can avoid it."
"That Azure Dragon Envoy..."
"Don't worry, I have a plan."
Xiao Wei took out a jade tablet from his bosom, a wisp of divine soul power overflowed from it, and then crushed it with force.
Instantly.
A Nirvana warrior clad in black armor, carrying a large sword on his back, appeared before the group.
