Acting

"Ke Luo, has my brother set another trap for me? What's going on this time?" A snake-headed, human-bodied Monster Race asked the main Intelligent Life inside the spaceship.

Upon hearing its question, a phantom image of a spotted snake flashed on the screen. The next moment, a respectful voice sounded, "Master, according to the information it transmitted, those two belong to the human race! The detectors are indeed more advanced than ours, and the information has been verified without any signs of modification."

The snake-headed, human-bodied Monster Race said, "Heh, as an Intelligent Life, you're far too naive about these things! Did your brother really think I was as stupid as everyone else? I guarantee these two humans are definitely up to something!"

"There's a high chance he came here directly after finishing his campaigns on other battlefields. He wants me to deal with him? I'll make sure he doesn't get his way!"

"To seize the Heavy Treasure promised by Father, this brother is really thinking of me! Well... after all, there were so many brothers back then, and now only the two of us are left... He really has the heart to do this!" Lai Yin, a member of the snake-headed Monster Race, said through gritted teeth.

"However, I can't waste this opportunity. Didn't the Sky Whale King try to curry favor with me before? I asked him to lure those two humans to my brother! I'll give him their wealth; after all, we've got the information. Let's finish the rest..."

"Boom!"

A bolt of deep purple lightning, thousands of kilometers thick, descended from the void. Where the lightning struck, even the finest dust particles floating within it were utterly crushed into their most primitive particle form. The immense energy emanating from the thunderous roar was enough to severely injure even a World Lord Level expert.

At this moment, there was indeed a sword-shaped phantom within the lightning. Although it was moving and surging within the sea of lightning, this phantom was able to completely block the lightning from entering! And this sword-shaped phantom was King Shenmu's flying ship!

"The power of this strike is comparable to that of High-level Marquis. No wonder only King Level experts venture here. If Feng Hou were to enter, getting out would be a difficult task," Lu Yan'an said after experiencing the power of the lightning.

The King Shenmu chimed in, "In the Mingyuan Thunder Domain, ordinary spaceships can no longer fly here. Even F9-class spaceships, while able to avoid being destroyed by the lightning here, can be thrown off course by such powerful natural attacks, rendering them unable to fly normally."

"Unless King-level Immortal is willing to invest heavily in modifying an F-class spaceship, only a G-class spaceship can withstand it."

"Although an attack at the Marquis Level may seem like a small matter, the price one would have to pay to withstand Feng Hou -level energy for an entire era is something even Feng Wang expert would find extremely painful."

Lu Yan'an nodded, looking at the rampaging lightning not far away. He looked down in the direction of its attack, and even with his current eyesight, he couldn't see the bottom. The entire area seemed to have been blasted through!

The ground here was struck by lightning and completely crushed into nothingness, even returning to the Universe Origin.

My gaze lingered on the lightning in the sky for a moment; the thunder was still brewing there, and there was no discernible pattern to it.

He asked curiously, "Shenmu, what's going on with the ground here? With an attack of this magnitude, this place should have been completely annihilated long ago!"

King Shenmu glanced at the bottomless abyss in the distance, then chuckled, "This continent wasn't formed naturally, but rather through human intervention using the power of Secret Pattern."

"This is precisely why we seek the power of the Secret Pattern! The creative power contained within the Secret Pattern is the key to why even powerful beings at the Universe Venerable level are so eager to acquire it." The King Shenmu's words were very concise, but his interpretation of the power of the Secret Pattern can be said to have reached its peak. Lu Yan'an had never imagined that the Secret Pattern School could achieve such a level.

"Young Lu, be careful! Be careful! Several powerful forces are approaching your direction." The urgent alarm from the Lord Shen rang in his ears.

"Sky Whale King! Although you have barely reached the Peak King, you are no match for me! Retreat at once, or you will not be able to leave once my allies arrive!" A metallic clang rang out.

Lu Yan'an and King Shenmu hid in a deep pit a million kilometers away. Looking at a small city tens of thousands of kilometers long standing amidst the lightning, they couldn't help but marvel at the power of technology! This was the Machine Race; a single Machine Race was a war fortress.

Tens of thousands of wing-shaped, sword-shaped, and other war machines now fill the sky, their blue and purple energy lights intertwining and blending to form a vast net spanning tens of millions of kilometers.

Standing in the middle was a Monster Race that stretched for tens of thousands of kilometers, with a white-gray skin and a shape resembling a whale. Its most striking feature was its enormous, round, bulging belly, which seemed to conceal a world within it.

Bathed in the thunder and lightning of Yuanming Thunder Prison and wandering in the vast net of energy, the fish moved at high speed, its fins tearing through the black net and lightning, launching fierce attacks on the war fortress time and time again. Clearly, this whale-like Monster Race now held an absolute advantage.

Sky Whale King said smugly, "Are you the only one with allies? Even these machines are worth a lot of money. Let's hold out until your allies arrive! What tricks can a Machine Race Feng Wang like you possibly pull out?"

"Ah! Sky Whale King! You bastard!" A deafening voice echoed from the war fortress; the Machine Race inside was completely enraged.

The Sky Whale King remained unfazed, continuing its attack. Each powerful strike destroyed countless war machines in its path. And with each attack, the heart of the Machine Race's Feng Wang, hidden within the war fortress, bled!

"Sky Whale King! You forced me to do this!" A furious, metallic voice quickly rang out.

Nine energy cores rose from the center of the war fortress, releasing their energy to the outside world. With a slight deformation, the war fortress's appearance changed dramatically compared to before.

As the central nine energy cores began to uncontrollably generate energy points, countless towers below the fortress were instantly illuminated.

In an instant, the energy cores of the Kita and the Ninth Regiment were completely connected, making the entire war fortress seem to be draped in a thin veil of energy.

Lu Yan'an and King Shenmu watched the magnificent spectacle with a sense of schadenfreude. Although they had sensed the terrifying energy within and understood that the Machine Race excelled at energy-gathering attacks, this attack wasn't aimed at them, so they were naturally happy to watch the show!

Now that this attack has been gathered together, its power has probably surpassed that of Peak King attack. Although the preparation time is long, the attack after being surrounded is still extremely terrifying.

If an ordinary Feng Wang were to encounter this and escape too slowly, even his Divine Body could be completely annihilated!

"Is it coming? Just this aura alone is extraordinary," Lu Yan'an thought to himself. "Moreover, this is the first time I've seen the energy gathering method of the Machine Race's energy cannons. Even the attacks of Zerg army of the same level must be far inferior, right?"

Above the Machine Race's war fortress, the energy attack gathered from the nine energy cores was now fully prepared, like a shining star emitting flickering light! Even though the surrounding environment was extremely harsh, with countless thunderstorms raging, the concentrated energy remained very stable, and even slightly amplified.

Just then, the King-level Immortal of the Machine Race and the Sky Whale King suddenly locked their gazes on the hiding place of Lu Yan'an and the King Shenmu. Then, the two sides attacked together, and the violent energy suddenly poured out!

"They're fucking coming for us!" That was Lu Yan'an's first reaction upon seeing the two men's actions.
