On the Horizon

In an instant, all the red crystals on the Golden Rhinoceros Beetle lit up, emitting a crimson glow, as if Blazing Flame were burning.

The next second, the rising red light emitted a loud bang, like Heavenly Thunder, with a deafening roar.

This Giant Insect, much like a human using a secret technique, unleashed its combat power through some kind of ability or method.

At this moment, the aura it released was so powerful that it shook the heavens and the earth, even impacting Ma Shuo and the others who were far away in mid-air, making it almost impossible for them to breathe.

After unleashing its power, the rhinoceros beetle stomped its feet hard on the ground, creating a ring of energy.

The ground beneath this ring of energy was lifted up by an invisible force, along with the trees, and pushed backward.

As the atmospheric ring expanded and spread, the rocks and trees that were scooped up from the ground reached heights of tens of meters.

Bang!

The air ring shattered, and the object, tens of meters high like a small mountain, instantly crumbled into powder, which was ejected into the sky and turned into a Stone Wave.

The rhinoceros beetle shot out from the aura the instant the wave of Stone Wave rose, its warhammer-like arm raised, swung, and punched.

Slam it down on the ' Bi'an '!

Luo Yan manifested Mountain Sea Phantom, while raising the 'Mount Tai' shield high. Although he adopted a defensive posture, the mecha did not lower its center of gravity, but instead maintained a posture ready to jump at any moment.

The rhinoceros beetle was very fast; it arrived in front of the ' Bi'an ' in almost an instant.

A powerful blow.

Hit the shield.

Inside the driver's cab, Luo Yan felt the violent impact.

Fortunately, he had already revealed his Dragon Scales beforehand and used the 'Dragon Transformation' form.

Otherwise, even if the ' Empathy System ' had significantly weakened the nerve impact at this moment, it would still cause necrosis of the nerves in Luo Yan's left hand!

The enormous and terrifying impact caused the central part of the 'Mount Tai' shield to dent silently, and then the dent quickly spread, engulfing the entire shield.

No sound was heard, but the shield shattered into pieces, its fragments ejected into the surrounding space by the Shockwave.

Immediately afterwards, the left arm of the ' Bi'an ' sprang up uncontrollably, and the part with the shield attached had its outer Singing Snake Scale Armor crack and explode, with sparks flying from the cracks and parts shooting out.

Inside the driver's cab, Luo Yan's left arm instantly turned red. Despite his strong will, he couldn't help but groan from the excruciating pain radiating from his nerve endings.

At this moment, the towering mountains and azure seas that appeared around ' Bi'an ' evaporated and disappeared without a trace, just like water encountering high temperatures.

Bang!

Great Sound rang out, and the ' Bi'an ' was sent flying backwards, seemingly knocked away by the rhinoceros beetle, but that wasn't actually the case.

In fact, it was Luo Yan who jumped in advance, coordinating with the rhinoceros beetle's movements to make the mecha fly backward.

If that's not the case, it's not as simple as just the 'Mount Tai' shield exploding and the mecha's left arm deforming.

Judging from the power of the rhinoceros beetle's punch, at least ' Bi'an's' arm is beyond saving.

In the panoramic view, the scenery turned into distant light and shadow. Only after Luo Yan and the rhinoceros beetle had distanced themselves did they see the aftershocks of that punch being released.

The surrounding space became blurred, the earth shook violently, and countless trees were ejected into the air before collapsing into dust.

Then cracks appeared in the ground, followed by the ground rising in some places and sinking in others, before finally all of these things exploded together and turned into dust and smoke.

The rhinoceros beetle burst out of the dust cloud, its aura already weakened, clearly indicating that its previous outburst could not be sustained.

However, the aura it released was still terrifying, and its speed did not decrease in the slightest. It transformed into a golden lightning bolt and chased after the ' Bi'an '.

Luo Yan quickly placed the mecha on both feet, using the friction with the ground to try and stabilize the machine, preparing to withstand the next attack.

However, the rhinoceros beetle was too fast. With the help of the 'Prophet', Luo Yan concluded that the machine would not be able to adjust its posture in time before the next attack.

He gritted his teeth.

Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to reveal our final cards.

Primordial Spirit Projection!

But at that moment, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared on the ground, and the shadow looked like a Peng Bird spreading its wings Gao Fei the sky.

The rhinoceros beetle lowered its head, intending this time to use its unstoppable horn to smash the ' Bi'an ' to pieces.

Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared rapidly on the ground.

As if sensing something, the rhinoceros beetle was about to raise its head to observe when a hand landed on its head.

The mecha's hand.

The hand pressed down on the rhinoceros beetle's head, and as the giant beast charged with all its might, it actually slammed its head into the ground.

Bang!

The rhinoceros beetle landed headfirst, then bounced up and Gao Fei.

Luo Yan looked up and saw through the panoramic window that the rhinoceros beetle was flailing its arms and legs and flapping its wings, but it could not stop and could only fly away helplessly.

It flew far away and landed in a forest, crushing a large number of trees.

"Commander!"

"It's the commander!"

The voices of Ma Shuo and Meng Fanxi came through the communication channel, and Luo Yan then saw a Mystic Machine appear in front of his mech.

Its large, golden wings were spread wide, each metallic feather shimmering in the sunlight.

With a majestic appearance and mysterious patterns, he holds a gilded crescent Yanyue Saber in one hand.

This is the mecha of the Changping Legion commander, the Divine General Class ' Golden Peng '!

You did a great job.

"Brothers from Guangling."

The ' Golden Peng's' external loudspeaker blared. "To be able to hold off that top -Upper-tier Giant Beast for so long with just one Divine Guardian, you've done quite well."

"Leave the rest to me. You and Ma Shuo head to a safe location. The Third Order of the operation will begin soon."

After saying that.

Without pausing, the ' Golden Peng ' spread its large wings, transforming into a golden streak of light as it headed towards the location of the rhinoceros beetle.

Luo Yan turned around and looked back.

In the blink of an eye, the ' Golden Peng ' had already clashed with the rhinoceros beetle. Blades flashed from that direction, scattering rocks and trees into pieces, indicating a fierce battle.

"Let's go, we can leave this to the commander."

Ma Shuo's voice came through the communication channel. Their three mechs had landed on the ground and deactivated the ' Skywing Type 3 ' aircraft.

Luo Yan nodded and controlled the ' Bi'an ' to walk towards them.

Four mechs raced across the land, heading towards a safe location set up on the ground by the Changping Legion.

At that moment, the voice of Jiang Wuyang from the Corps Command came through the communication channel.

"The Kun has landed on the ground. We will now proceed to the Third Order of the operation."

"All mechs, please stay away."

"Next, we'll leave it to the Tiangang Dragon Riders!"

As these words were spoken, Luo Yan saw the distant sky change color as a huge and terrifying airflow roared in, causing all the nearby trees to bend down like rice paddies.

Even the mechs they were piloting were slightly shaken by the violent airflow.

After the turbulence subsided, the distant scene became clear, allowing Luo Yan to see a huge, deep blue, whale-like creature lying horizontally on the horizon!
