While things were in complete chaos at the Kitsune Saiguu, Jiang Xiaofeng was having a much more leisurely time.
Wherever he went, Jiang Xiaofeng left behind a Void Power that seeped into the Ley Line's Ley Line, beginning to analyze the memories within them as he went.
Soon, Jiang Xiaofeng wandered to the Araumi Ruins.
"Um..."
Jiang Xiaofeng thought about the Iron Hypostasis —no, the Perpetual Mechanical Array —found beneath the ruins of the Araumi, and his mind began to wander.
Although Jiang Xiaofeng no longer needs to possess a body to gain power, he now possesses the Void.
Most of it was thrown into the Abyss. If Jiang Xiaofeng didn't interfere, the final result would be that it would be completely devoured and analyzed by the Void.
To clarify beforehand, the only thing outside of this "majority" category is the current Cursed Sword.
Whether it's the Ruin Hunter, the Ruin Grader, or the Ruin Serpent, they have all been Void devoured by the Void and can be mass-produced and released at any time to launch a massive army attack and conquer any country.
However, this " Perpetual Mechanical Array " seems to have been created by an ancient kingdom based on the life forms of Elemental Hypostases, so calling it Iron Hypostasis is not wrong.
Jiang Xiaofeng transformed his body into a state of black mist and sank directly into the ground, heading towards the Perpetual Mechanical Array.
During the journey, while releasing the Void Power to analyze the memories of the Ley Line, Jiang Xiaofeng encountered many memories related to the descendants of Mikoshi Chiyo.
Come to think of it, although there are very few stories about Mikoshi Chiyo, almost all the plot fragments, big and small, in Inazuma are related to Mikoshi Chiyo, who are already married demons.
Even the " Maguu Kenki " is suspected to be a body and mask created by countless generations of descendants of Mikoshi Chiyo, modeled after their parents.
Soon, Jiang Xiaofeng arrived at the location of the Perpetual Mechanical Array.
The Perpetual Mechanical Array lay quietly in place, surrounded by broken Ruin Sentinel, Ruin Guard, and a large number of scrapped limbs and parts.
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
Jiang Xiaofeng shook his head, expressing his regret.
"If these are still functional, it wouldn't be a bad idea to let the Guillain try and study them..."
"Wait, what has the Collector been researching lately?"
The Collector, far away in Mondstadt, had no idea that he had been targeted by his own despicable the King once again.
Without further ado, a Starry Sky Gate appeared directly beneath the Perpetual Mechanical Array, and before this sophisticated combat machine could even launch an attack, it was drawn into Jiang Xiaofeng's Void.
" Traveler will surely thank me when they explore this place."
Jiang Xiaofeng left without changing his expression.
Now that we've acquired the Iron Hypostasis, let's absorb the remaining two Elemental Hypostases while we're at it!
Jiang Xiaofeng quickly located the position of the Pyro Hypostasis and teleported directly to it!
As soon as Jiang Xiaofeng arrived, he noticed something was wrong.
It's hot! So hot!
It's so hot here, it doesn't feel like a small island surrounded by the sea at all!
The island where the Pyro Hypostasis is located is not as large as it appears in the game; it is only large enough to accommodate the sealing platform Pyro Hypostasis.
However, strangely, there were no sealing stone tablets specific to the five Elemental Hypostases around the Pyro Hypostasis.
Furthermore, there are no Teleport Waypoint here.
Because this place is less of an island and more of an island that was forcibly evaporated from the seabed of a shallow sea by the intense heat of the Pyro Hypostasis!
Jiang Xiaofeng squinted at the charred dead wood, the broken military flag, and the collapsed wooden boat around him.
"This Pyro Hypostasis is a bit too bizarre, isn't it?!"
Jiang Xiaofeng looked around and finally found Electroculus, which should have been there, at the bottom of a reef near the island...
However, Jiang Xiaofeng's goal this time wasn't the Electroculus, but the Pyro Hypostasis.
Jiang Xiaofeng looked at the Pyro Hypostasis and immediately threw down a Planet Befall.
Unexpectedly, the Pyro Hypostasis " Ayin " did not roar at Jiang Xiaofeng, nor did it express any anger. Instead, it simply entered an activated state, dispersed to dodge Planet Befall's attack, and then regrouped into a fist to strike Jiang Xiaofeng.
Jiang Xiaofeng dodged to the side, and the Void Power swept up the surrounding Hydro, rushing towards the Pyro Hypostasis.
What happened next surprised Jiang Xiaofeng even more.
Pyro Hypostasis burned even more fiercely, and the withered trees nearby, soaked by seawater, seemed poised to reignite.
The flames on the Pyro Hypostasis intensified, evaporating most of the water that Jiang Xiaofeng had gathered. The remaining droplets of water had no effective effect on the Pyro Hypostasis.
Jiang Xiaofeng was overjoyed. He immediately put on the original Hayabusa Gauntlets and charged forward...
Jiang Xiaofeng looked at the increasingly gloomy sky, then at the Pyro Hypostasis before him, and shook his head.
It wasn't that he couldn't defeat it; it was just that this Pyro Hypostasis was too unique.
Without extinguishing the outer shell, there's no way to damage it.
There was no way to save itself before it was on the verge of collapse.
Jiang Xiaofeng was stunned by the description of the Pyro Hypostasis while playing the game.
"Before Elemental Hypostases is destroyed, it usually enters a state similar to an 'emergency restart' and restores its energy in this way."
"However, the Pyro Hypostasis seems to have trampled this conclusion into the ground."
Jiang Xiaofeng watched the increasingly wild nature of the Pyro Hypostasis, and the wisps of cube-shaped energy that drifted away each time the core of the Pyro Hypostasis was transferred...
"OK."
I'll remember you.
I hope you can recover from this condition.
After saying that, Jiang Xiaofeng flew away.
Jiang Xiaofeng decided to absorb the Hydro Hypostasis first, and then carefully examine the Pyro Hypostasis...
Jiang Xiaofeng flew to Watatsumi Island and quickly found the waterfall leading to the Hydro Hypostasis.
Jiang Xiaofeng jumped down, looked at the normal sealing area, and nodded.
"That's more like it."
Jiang Xiaofeng raised his hand and released the Void Power to "devour" the Hydro Hypostasis, then left directly.
What? You're asking why Jiang Xiaofeng didn't use this method to destroy the Pyro Hypostasis?
The reason is simple.
Jiang Xiaofeng was very curious about this Pyro Hypostasis, and even suspected that it was not the real Pyro Hypostasis at all.
After all, this Pyro Hypostasis is incredibly powerful, far surpassing any other Elemental Hypostases.
Furthermore, the locations of the Pyro Hypostasis are all incomplete...
Jiang Xiaofeng had reason to suspect that this Pyro Hypostasis was there to mess with Ying's mentality.
Jiang Xiaofeng returned to the side of the Pyro Hypostasis and summoned an old friend he hadn't seen in a long time.
"Roar!"
"Your Majesty, what brings you here?"
Osial poked his head out of the sea and whispered to Jiang Xiaofeng.
" Osial, you try to see what this elemental life form is all about."
Although Osial was puzzled as to why Jiang Xiaofeng had asked him to deal with this ordinary Elemental Hypostases, he didn't ask any further questions and directly spat out a water bullet, attacking the Pyro Hypostasis.
Then, Osial was terrified by the Pyro Hypostasis's madness.
After all, I've seen reckless people, but I've never seen anyone this reckless.
The key point is that he dares to be reckless, and he's genuinely fierce.
It took Osial a lot of effort to extinguish the Pyro Hypostasis.
Jiang Xiaofeng looked at the barren land where even Ley Line Blossom couldn't sprout, and left without hesitation.
Before leaving, Jiang Xiaofeng gave Osial an order:
"Stay here for a while. If the Pyro Hypostasis revives, keep killing it. If it remains in this state after many attempts, notify me."
