Chapter 401 Achieving Great Success with Small Investments

Although Luo Jun wasn't present when he fought Chu Yunwei, he knew about his abilities from other people's descriptions!

This is a powerful Creation Faction master who can use elemental energy to create Shielding Alloy that can block elemental energy. His usual method is to use Vital Energy Shielding Alloy to construct Knight Armor warriors to aid in battle.

But according to others, the armor this guy built was usually the size of a normal person, and when he finally fought Li Xiuzhen, he only built a Gundam that was a little over 20 meters tall... But this one looks even bigger than Godzilla...

Li Xiuzhen skillfully dodged the attacks of the giant armor while fleeing backward. The steel Giant was not giving up either, rushing out of the thick smoke behind her. As it chased, its body continued to change, expanding further and building new limbs. Soon, it transformed from an ordinary Knight Armor into a three-headed, six-armed steel demon god!

"I don't know anything about the Creation Faction..." Luo Jun asked Li Xiuzhen, who was projecting something, "What kind of skills do you need to construct something like this?"

Li Xiuzhen's projection replied, "There are currently no Creation Faction Feather Transformation in the Main World. The strongest and most Peak Creation Faction is Lucifer, the master of the Paradise Lost in the Land of Exile. Based on my experience, if this Giant is truly made of the Vital Energy Shielding Alloy, even if it's hollow, Lucifer himself couldn't have done it here."

As they were talking, another large hand swung out. Li Xiuzhen maneuvered the drone to Limit the last second. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Luo Jun suddenly jumped up and landed lightly on the huge arm. He Gathering Origin Protective Qi and slashed at his feet, leaving a mark only a few millimeters deep.

The concentration and power of the Gathering Origin Protective Qi far exceed that of ordinary Qi; it can even break Mosayus's Bone Blades. It is virtually Unstoppable against ordinary metals. The fact that it can only leave such a shallow mark on this armor is definitely not just due to the high strength of the material...

It is indeed Vital Energy Shielding Alloy. In that case, this metal monster has already exceeded the Limit that can be constructed at the Peak!

Just then, a huge shadow loomed over him. Looking up, he saw a giant hand swatting at him, as if it were swatting a mosquito that had landed on his arm.

Luo Jun jumped decisively and landed accurately back on the drone.

As this thing has changed, its height has exceeded two hundred meters. Just based on this size, even if it's a hollow suit of armor, its weight would probably be in the hundreds of thousands of tons... If it's just big, Luo Jun wouldn't be afraid of it with his qi, but if it's made of Vital Energy Shielding Alloy, then this is a bit difficult!

However, Luo Jun was puzzled as to how Zhuge Lang had summoned Chu Yunwei...

Even if a soul exists, to be resurrected, there would at least be a corpse. And judging by the strength of this ability, it must have been summoned by sacrificing a powerful living being! But the entire town was almost turned into a giant crater by the meteorite; let alone a living being, there wasn't even a corpse to be found...

etc...

Luo Jun suddenly looked at the enormous monster... He suddenly realized that Zhuge Lang still had a living body available!

The highest level, strongest, and best quality living being in the entire town!

It was Zhuge Lang himself!

With his Peak cultivation level, the Chu Yunwei summoned after the sacrifice would definitely be much stronger!

The host body represents the Peak, while the soul represents the strongest Creation Faction below that Peak. The fusion formed by Zhuge Lang's abilities gives it power that surpasses even the Peak, which makes perfect sense!

But isn't he afraid of death? The living being sacrificed will die completely after the summoning ends, leaving not even a corpse behind...

Having shelter? Possibly... but besides shelter, there's another way to survive!

There are only a dozen minutes left until the end of this round. After it ends, everyone who is still alive will be teleported back to the station and all their injuries will be healed!

This guy is gambling, gambling that he can make it through these last ten minutes or so. As long as he can get back to the station, he'll be safe!

What a cunning scheme! They actually exploited a loophole in the rules. Shameless!

Luo Jun cursed under his breath, then looked back and suddenly realized that the monster opposite him had stopped chasing and was standing still, with its six arms outstretched in a huge hexagonal shape.

What are they trying to do?

While Luo Jun was still in shock, he suddenly noticed that hair had suddenly grown on all six of his arms!

That's right, just like the fur of mammals, the originally smooth metal surface has grown shimmering silver hair!

Then, the hairs changed direction and all turned towards Luo Jun. With a shudder from the massive body, a loud bang erupted, and the hairs were suddenly launched out!

"Holy crap!"

Luo Jun cursed out loud. These were called hairs, but that was relative to the huge monster. To an ordinary person, they looked like spears!

So many spears shot at once, creating the effect of a volley of arrows, making it impossible to dodge. Moreover, each one was made of Vital Energy Shielding Alloy, carrying a powerful energy-breaking effect!

Since I've already broken my Qi, then I won't use Qi anymore!

Luo Jun simply abandoned his internal energy, pushed off the drone beneath his feet, and charged straight at it!

The large area of coverage looked terrifying, but not many could actually hit him. Luo Jun caught one in mid-air, twirled it in his hand, and deflected the other spears that were shot at him. However, due to the continuous shooting, there were still some that he couldn't block and that hit his body!

These spears are incredibly sharp, shooting faster than bullets, and are made of a hard, Vital Energy Shielding Alloy. They can pierce through not only people, but even concrete walls!

Unfortunately, Luo Jun was no longer an ordinary person!

With a Strength attribute of 300, combined with the enhancement of the ninth level of the Body Refinement Realm, his Acquired Potential reached tens of thousands of times that of an ordinary person, making his body even stronger than real steel!

For others, qi is a hard armor, but for him, it is merely an extra layer of defense.

These spears pierced his body, causing only a stinging sensation, but they couldn't cause any real harm!

Just kidding. Even a Peak Level expert, exerting all their strength and with a five-fold damage boost, couldn't completely penetrate his muscles and bones. This wide-ranging volley of arrows simply lacks Penetration Power!

Even without physical damage, the impact of the spear was real. As Luo Jun was repeatedly hit, his forward speed was greatly reduced, and he was about to reach the steel monster.

Luo Jun gritted his teeth and threw the spear in his hand backward with force, using the reaction force to accelerate himself!

Then, Luo Jun reached out and grabbed the spears that were being shot at him, throwing them behind him repeatedly. This not only accelerated his movement but also changed his direction. He dodged and grabbed the spears as he moved forward, finally landing them on the monster's shoulder!

The monster was enormous, its shoulders wider than a road, and its head, as tall as a building, was visible when you looked up. Beneath its hard helmet were three hideous masks, one of which was facing Luo Jun directly!

"Being big has its advantages; strength and destructive power increase with size. But along with increasing size come weaknesses!"

Seeing a giant hand about to strike, Luo Jun crouched down slightly, gathered his strength, and leaped upwards!

Boom!

The sudden burst of speed created a white mist around his body, and the terrifying force left clear footprints on the hard Vital Energy Shielding Alloy. With this force, he shot towards the eyes of the giant mask like a cannonball!

Armor always needs openings for the eyes, and with such a huge size, even the seemingly tiny eye openings would be enough for Luo Jun to break inside!

However, as Luo Jun soared upwards, he suddenly noticed that a layer of alloy was forming inside the original eye holes, attempting to block them! After all, it was an object created by Yuan Qi, and as long as Chu Yunwei had the strength to spare, he could adjust the armor's weaknesses at any time, just like when hair first grows!

This makes it very difficult to break through... Such a massive monster means that no matter which place Luo Jun chooses, the enemy can always reinforce and strengthen it!

Unless, before he has time to reinforce it, we break through directly!

Seeing that the eye socket wasn't completely sealed, Luo Jun mentally summoned the Dice of Heavenly Secrets!

"Charge inside the colossus!"

"Ding! Event Difficulty: 77 points; Final Points: 86 + 5 points; Event Success!"

As the notification sound rang out, Luo Jun activated his Gathering Origin Protective Qi, extended his hands in Superman flying pose, and then concentrated all his Qi in front of him, transforming himself into a sharp longsword that pierced the giant's eye at high speed!

The Gathering Origin Protective Qi and the still unstable Shielding Alloy collided, suddenly unleashing a violent Vital Energy Wave. The former was condensed and solid, Unstoppable, while the latter had the effect of restraining Yuan Qi. The two opposing energies canceled each other out, ultimately reflecting a contest of strength!

When it comes to magnanimity, I won't lose!

Luo Jun unleashed his full power, continuously replenishing the sharpest edge of the sword, while new Shielding Alloy were constantly being generated in the eye sockets, as if drilling into a steel plate that would continuously regenerate. Neither could overcome the other, and for a moment, a brief balance was formed!

Wait... a drill bit?

Suddenly inspired, Luo Jun twisted his outstretched fists together, and with the help of this movement, the qi in front of him also turned into a spiral shape and began to spin rapidly!

It wasn't a longsword, it was an electric drill!

Gathering Origin Drill, start!

This trick really worked. With rapid drilling, the eye hole that was trying to close was forcibly drilled open, and Luo Jun continued forward until he finally broke in!

It worked!

Before he could even cheer, Luo Jun felt his eye sockets close completely behind him, the only source of light shut off, plunging him into pitch blackness. And in that darkness, he began his freefall...

Fortunately, Luo Jun, who had Perception Over Hundred, quickly adapted to the surrounding darkness. He could vaguely see that inside the colossus, there was a large amount of lining material made of ordinary materials, which provided the power for the colossus's movement.

Luo Jun landed on a steel beam, lowered his head, and pinched it. It felt like squeezing jelly; he could easily pinch off a piece. The strength was only that of ordinary metal...

Looking down again, the massive torso was filled with intricate structures, and Chu Yunwei, reborn in Zhuge Lang's body, should be hiding here...

Where will it be?

As Luo Jun was pondering, he suddenly heard a noise below, followed by several armored knights emerging, wielding swords and spears, charging towards him!

Goodness, they even have an immune system? Are these considered white blood cells?

Luo Jun didn't hesitate either; facing the charging knight, he directly swung his fists and feet and charged forward.

While the Vital Energy Shielding Alloy is indeed hard, it is not indestructible. The colossus's alloy layer, which is often several meters thick, is difficult to break through, but the sheet metal of these armors is at most a few millimeters thick. How could it withstand Luo Jun's monstrous strength!

If ordinary steel is like jelly, then Element-Shielding Alloy is like cardboard—hard enough, but not difficult to disassemble...

After easily dealing with the knights, Luo Jun charged downwards, his inner energy surging, especially concentrated in his hands, as if wielding two long swords. He relentlessly slashed through any obstacle he encountered. Even knights clad in Vital Energy Shielding Alloy were no match for him. While the Shielding Alloy were indeed the Vital Energy Bane, nothing was absolute. As long as one had enough Yuan Qi, cutting through these guys wasn't difficult!

As for whether the opponent would directly transform the colossus and grow limbs from the inside to attack him, Luo Jun was not worried.

While the abilities of the Creation Faction are wondrous, they cannot be used without limit. To some extent, the Creation Faction and Shapeshifting Faction share commonalities. Shapeshifting Faction need years of practice and adaptation to a few fixed forms to transform flexibly. Similarly, while Creation Faction can theoretically simulate anything, starting from scratch and achieving perfect simulation requires years of analysis, design, construction, and so on...

Most Creation Faction also have a few fixed creations that they can readily use without needing to start from drawing blueprints.

Therefore, while minor adjustments to the colossus would not be a problem, drastically altering its structure while ensuring its normal operation is virtually impossible.

Confident in his abilities, Luo Jun rampaged through the giant's body, wreaking havoc. Finally, after killing countless armored men, he encountered a tough opponent!

This guy was different from the other Knight Armor. Not only was he several sizes bigger, but he was also incredibly strong. With his thicker armor and terrifying strength, he managed to barely withstand Luo Jun's attack. He was just knocked away but not damaged.

"Interesting!" Luo Jun's eyes lit up, and he immediately launched a fierce attack on the armored man. The man seemed to realize that his opponent was not to be trifled with, and immediately fled at an extremely high speed. At the same time, other armored figures kept rushing over, desperately trying to block Luo Jun!

It seems this is the real body! There's a Peak Level expert hidden inside, and with the added protection of the armor, it was able to withstand my attacks!

Thinking of this, Luo Jun pursued even more frantically, cutting Killing God in his path, and finally followed him to the deepest part of the giant's body...

"Um?"

Luo Jun suddenly realized something was wrong. After breaking through layers of obstacles, he suddenly found himself in an open space. There was no complicated structure here, and the surrounding area was all smooth spherical metal walls.

As for the large suit of armor that lured him in, it stopped running now, raised its hand to remove its helmet, revealing its empty shell.

They've fallen for their trap!

Realizing the problem, Luo Jun immediately turned around, only to find that the entrance he had rushed in through was now sealed off!

He is now trapped inside a completely sealed Metal Sphere...
