He looked like a faint golden light floating in the dark underground passage.
Those Servitor and combat robots responsible for defense did not notice this inconspicuous light spot at all.
Their attention was drawn to the chaos on the surface.
"The East End suffered a massive invasion!"
"Titan Foundry Area requests support!"
"Warning! Explosive reaction detected!"
The communication channels are filled with emergency calls.
Most of the troops responsible for underground defense have been deployed to support the surface.
The few remaining guards were also nervously staring at the main passages, fearing that those crazy Gretchin would suddenly appear from somewhere.
No one noticed that a small golden light point was heading down along the neglected secondary passage.
The underground structure of Mars is extremely complex.
Over thousands of years, Adeptus Mechanicus has built countless casting furnaces, laboratories, and storage rooms here.
These facilities are layered on top of each other, forming a huge underground maze.
And in the deepest part of the maze is Adeptus Mechanicus, the most secret Forbidden Zone.
The most dangerous creations, the most taboo knowledge, and, Shard of the Void Dragon are stored there.
Liu Zhipeng Continue to dive.
The surrounding scene gradually happened Change.
Those metal walls full of mechanical beauty began to be replaced by older structures.
The walls are no longer Adeptus Mechanicus and Chapter Icon, but some more primitive symbols. Those symbols emit a faint golden light and are obviously written with Psychic Power.
"Emperor's handwriting." Liu Zhipeng recognized these symbols, "It looks like it's almost here."
After diving for several hundred meters, he finally saw the target.
That's a huge door.
No, it's not so much a door as it is a wall. A wall made of Pure Gold.
The surface of the wall was engraved with dizzyingly complex runes. These runes flashed continuously, forming a huge three-dimensional magic circle.
The Psychic Power fluctuations emitted by the magic circle are extremely powerful, like a small Sun burning in the darkness.
Liu Zhipeng stopped in front of the magic circle.
"Causal restraint, dimensional prison, Psychic Power seal..." He observed the runes carefully, "Standard Emperor style multiple seals. As expected of Big E, he is sure to start with it."
A seal of this level is completely insurmountable for ordinary people.
Even if the powerful Psyker wants to break through forcefully, it will take several years to slowly analyze it.
But for Liu Zhipeng who owns [Temporal Wraith]...
"Sorry, Big E." He smiled, "Although your seal is strong, it can't restrain me."
He stretched out his hand and touched the golden wall.
In an instant, all the runes flashed crazily.
The array sensed the intruder and immediately activated its defense procedures.
Countless Psychic Power chains extended from the wall, trying to restrain Liu Zhipeng.
Those chains contain the power of Emperor, enough to bind Daemon of Warp, and enough to suppress the fragments of C'tan.
But the moment the chain comes into contact with Liu Zhipeng...
"Crack."
Just like fragile glass encountering Hammer, those chains shattered one after another.
All forces trying to restrain and capture Liu Zhipeng will be neutralized by this passive ability.
The magic circle made a harsh sound, it was Alarm.
But before Alarm could be transmitted, Liu Zhipeng had already passed through the wall.
It's like walking through a curtain of water.
There are no obstacles.
He simply entered Forbidden Zone, which was sealed by Emperor himself.
The scene inside Forbidden Zone made Liu Zhipeng take a breath of cold air.
This is a huge space, and in the center of the space, there is a huge creature suspended.
No, it's not accurate to say it's a living thing. It's more like something between an organism and a machine.
It has a dragon-like appearance, but its body is composed of countless metal scales. Each scale is engraved with complex circuits, emitting a faint green light.
Its body is penetrated by countless pipelines. Some of those pipelines are connected to equipment on the wall, and some are directly inserted into its body to draw energy from them.
What's even more eye-catching is that it is bound by huge gold chains.
One end of the chain is fixed on its body, and the other end is embedded in the wall of the space. Each chain is engraved with the runes of Emperor, constantly burning with golden flames.
"Void Dragon..." Liu Zhipeng murmured.
This is the legendary Void Dragon, or in other words, the fragment of Void Dragon.
Adeptus Mechanicus has been worshiping it, drawing knowledge and power from it. But what they don't know is that the "god" they worship is actually just a prisoner in captivity.
Void Dragon's eyes suddenly opened.
They were two huge eyes with strange green pupils, burning with madness and anger.
It sensed the presence of the same kind.
"C'tan..." Void Dragon let out a low roar, and the voice sounded directly in Liu Zhipeng's consciousness, "Are you here to laugh at me?"
"None of them." Liu Zhipeng answered honestly, "I'm here to eat you."
"What?"
"You heard me right." Liu Zhipeng showed a bright smile, "I need your energy. So, I'm sorry."
It struggled violently, its huge body tumbling in the air. The golden chain was stretched tight, making a harsh metal friction sound.
"I am Void Dragon! I once swallowed countless stars! I once made the entire galaxy tremble for me!"
"Who do you think you are? A piece of junk that you don't know where you came from, how dare you--"
His words were interrupted.
Because Liu Zhipeng has already rushed over.
The golden figure was like Lightning, instantly crossing a distance of several hundred meters and arriving in front of Void Dragon.
"Sorry, I'm in a hurry."
Liu Zhipeng punched Void Dragon on the head.
This punch contains the power of [Golden Judgment].
Void Dragon's shield was torn apart in an instant. The hard metal scales were shattered like paper.
"What--"
Void Dragon was shocked.
It had no idea that this seemingly weak fragment could actually break through its own defense with one blow.
"Impossible! You are just a fragment! How is it possible..."
"Because I'm special." Liu Zhipeng grinned, "Besides, I have plug-ins."
He didn't give Void Dragon time to react, the second punch, the third punch, the fourth punch...
Crazy attacks fell on Void Dragon like a heavy rain.
Each punch has the effect of "Reality Correction", forcibly erasing Void Dragon's defense.
Void Dragon wants to fight back.
It opened Great Maw and condensed a ball of green energy. The energy ball contained enough destructive power to destroy a city.
But Liu Zhipeng is faster.
He ducked to Void Dragon's mouth and directly put his hand into its mouth.
"Let me go!"
Golden light exploded in Void Dragon's body.
The ball of energy was forcibly detonated before it could be launched.
"Boom--!"
"Ahhhhhh--!"
Void Dragon howled in pain.
