"Flesh is weak, mechanical ascension is the true path; everyone else has gone astray."
Wu Chai Xing retracted his laser sword and uttered a pretentious line.
Dark Crow's corpse fell onto the flat head of the giant demolition robot. Wu Chai Xing lightly shifted his foot, stepping on the corpse to prevent it from sliding off as the giant demolition robot climbed uphill.
After all, this was a trophy of war.
Later, he could even insult Dark Crow's corpse to emotionally target Li Cunxu.
Wu Chai Xing truly hated Li Cunxu.
With twelve mechanical matrices, he could have a continuous supply of demolition robots.
But with all the mechanical matrices dead, his future was undoubtedly doomed.
Although he still had an army of demolition robots, without reinforcements, each robot used was one less he had.
If future invaders discovered this, they only needed to slowly deplete his demolition robots. His death and return to the Divine Kingdom, with the secret realm inevitably taken over, would be certain.
Wu Chai Xing was a fanatic; he did not fear death. What he feared was not being able to contribute more to his idol, the Crowned Evil God.
Wu Chai Xing fantasized about how to inflict pain on Li Cunxu, causing him pain but not killing him immediately.
He didn't notice that a trail of water appeared out of nowhere, submerging Dark Crow and soaking into his shoes.
The giant demolition robot was walking, suddenly making creaky noises like rusting mechanical parts, soaking the giant demolition robot's head.
"Fusion Sphere, why have you slowed down?"
Wu Chai Xing looked down and said dissatisfiedly.
Upon looking down, he immediately sensed something was wrong.
The giant demolition robot had unknowingly become rusty as if it had endured fifty years of weathering.
Furthermore, Wu Chai Xing's own voice had become hoarse, sounding like that of an old man in his seventies or eighties.
"Fusion Sphere, what's wrong with you?"
Before the Fusion Sphere could answer, Wu Chai Xing transformed into an old man on the brink of decay, unable to support the heavy mechanical modifications on his body, and fell headlong.
The fall immediately killed him.
With the Mechanician dead, the contract's backlash meant the Fusion Sphere couldn't maintain fusion, and the giant demolition robot immediately fell apart.
Wu Chai Xing's transformation had not yet ended; in the blink of an eye, the decayed, thin old man turned into a skeleton aged by time.
Little White Spider exclaimed, "Is this the power of the River of Time's water? How terrifying! Just a touch, and it's like this. The deadliest poison can't compare to this, can it?"
Li Cunxu said, "No, this isn't the true power of the River of Time's water. A real drop of the river water could make him vanish in an instant. I think the river water appearing here is just a projection of a section of it."
The Fusion Sphere rolled toward Li Cunxu, each roll gathering more rust, its machine spirit weakening and aging.
The Fusion Sphere said to Li Cunxu, "It... it was your doing."
Li Cuncun rewarded it with a kick.
Why bother explaining to a minion of the Crowned Evil God?
With one kick, the Fusion Sphere fell apart in mid-air, its machine spirit extinguished under the power of time.
In the next moment, a clear bird call sounded.
A brand-new Dark Crow flew out.
Little White Spider said, "Having the Dark Crow commit suicide and using the river water summoned by its resurrection to kill the enemy is an amazing move. If the King is unprepared, he might fall prey to it too!"
Li Cunxu smiled and said, "Yes, indeed. But at most, it would affect an aged King. A King's reaction speed is quick, and their instincts are sharp. Noticing something wrong, they can quickly withdraw. Their brief contact with the River of Time's water, combined with their thousand-year lifespan, would only cost them a bit of longevity."
"Even so, it's very impressive."
"It's impressive, but not to be used lightly."
Little White Spider asked, "Why is that? Using the move with Dark Crow doesn't have side effects, or is it because they're worried opponents might be prepared for it?"
Li Cunxu explained, "It's not that opponents are prepared, but that using it on enemies is risky and easily attracts the guardians of the River of Time."
The River of Time is forbidden; no one can utilize it, especially to attack. Otherwise, they risk the wrath of the Master of Endless Time.
Using Dark Crow's move once or twice is fine. After all, the River of Time is vast, with countless little splashes. It's normal for the Master of Endless Time to overlook them. But if used too frequently and one section of the river frequently has splashes, it's easy to attract the Master of Endless Time's attention.
At this stage, Li Cunxu doesn't want to provoke the Master of Endless Time, not even remotely.
Just how powerful is the Master of Endless Time? Let's illustrate with an example.
The four outer gods actually have the ability to go back in time. They don't need to comprehend the true essence of time, just be strong enough to walk against the River of Time to return to the past.
Why don't the four outer gods go back to the past and kill the old chairman as a baby?
They want to, but they can't.
It's because the Master of Endless Time resides in the River of Time.
Even if the four outer gods act together, they can't break through the Master of Endless Time's barrier.
This shows just how terrifying the Master of Endless Time is.
Without Wu Chai Xing, the backstage manipulator, the demolition robots became completely chaotic, fighting and battling among themselves.
Seeing this, Li Cunxu couldn't be happier.
There were too many demolition robots, making them hard to clear.
The fact that they were clearing each other was a welcome sight.
Li Cunxu picked up Wu Chai Xing's Space Pocket and eagerly went home to check its contents.
A Mechanical God Sect doctrine book, a secret realm core, eight Level 2 Anti-Space Stones, an electromagnetic pulse sniper rifle, a Giant Explosion Grenade, a space bomb...
Seeing the space bomb, Li Cuncun broke into a cold sweat, relieved that the Dark Crow had swiftly killed him using that move. Otherwise, he would have been gone for good.
The yield of the space bomb in Wu Chai Xing's Space Pocket could demolish half a mechanical demolition secret realm and trigger a spatial storm. If the King were at the explosion's center, there is a great chance it could blast him away.
Carefully placing the space bomb in another Space Ring on himself, Li Cunxu then dripped a drop of blood on the secret realm core, marking it with his imprint to control the secret realm.
With the imprinting success, Li Cunxu can now enter and exit the mechanical demolition secret realm at will.
Li Cunxu wasn't in a rush to go out and announce this.
Instead, he gathered the Miner Slimes, taking them to the mining area in the underground level to mine metal ores.
After walking around the mining area, Li Cunxu found many unmined veins of gold in the shallow mining zone.
"I've truly struck it rich now."
"The gold needed for the Golden Jade Gourd is no longer lacking, but there's still a shortage of jade."
"I still need to find a jade mine."
Li Cunxu searched the entire mining area, only finding metal ores and no jade mine.
"Without a jade mine, it looks like I'll need to conquer another secret realm that has one."
"Securing a jade mine must be prioritized, only then can the Golden Jade Gourd be fully utilized."
Due to the insufficient supply of gold and jade, the production of Golden Jade Liquid is scant, and to this day, he hasn't acquired the skill Golden Jade Body, which is obtained by consuming enough Golden Jade Liquid.
