Sky-Supporting Imperial Capital, the Underground World

"Thirty Divine Blood Battle Pets."

Inside the Cao Family's sanctuary, Cao Fengqi looked at the group of battle pets in the Witch Sea and smiled.

There are 30 Divine Blood Battle Pets, and the number of level 10 Battle Pets has reached 56.

Cao Fengqi's strength is improving every day.

"I can go to the wizarding lineage at the Fate Witch Grand Church once I've improved my strength."

"Let's go to the Mechanical Empire for now."

The Fate Witch Grand Church possesses powerful, unique, level 11 evil beasts.

With Cao Fengqi's current strength, he is not 100% confident that he can kill the evil beasts there.

Having made up his mind, he immediately went to rest.

The night passed quickly, and after breakfast in the morning, Cao Fengqi appeared in the area of Lost Land Twin Star Sect.

We need to get going today.

Cao Fengqi looked at the distance to the capital of the Mechanical Empire, which was more than 8,000 kilometers away, and estimated that it would take eight or nine hours to travel there.

The breakthrough in the Transcendent Sequence also increased the range of his external scanning to 7 kilometers, which greatly improved his safety while traveling.

Cao Fengqi drove the extraordinary chariot at high speed.

We're almost there.

In the Lost Land, there was no longer day or night. Ten hours later, Cao Fengqi looked at the information on the map pointer and a smile appeared on his face.

Traveling is tiring, so the most important thing is not to let your guard down.

Cao Fengqi did not immediately explore, but returned to reality and rested for a night.

He was heading to the capital of the Mechanical Empire, a region considered a holy site throughout the entire Lost Land.

It belongs to the top-tier dungeons in the Lost Land, and according to the strength of the factions, it is a level higher than the Fate Witch Grand Church.

This is something Cao Fengqi cannot afford to take lightly.

"An iron Fortress, a holy land for Artifact Refiner, the capital of the Mechanical Empire built on a high-grade mineral vein, with a diameter of five hundred kilometers from the east gate to the west gate."

"The Mechanical Empire stands in the Lost Land for thirty thousand years."

"A true empire that lasted for millennia, a behemoth that watched the rise and fall of the Lost Land."

At the front of the Mechanical Empire's capital, the Sky-Supporting Imperial Capital, Cao Fengqi slowly approached in his extraordinary battle chariot.

A black wind blew, and a putrid, rusty smell swept over us.

According to records, all the buildings in the Sky-Supporting Imperial Capital were constructed of metal, and the higher the status of a person, the higher the grade of metal used in their residence.

"But now, what does it look like? It's a desolate wasteland, full of potholes, and the cheat software hasn't detected any supplies?"

As the capital of an empire, it was completely different from what Cao Fengqi had imagined.

He checked the information on the map and confirmed that he had come to the right place.

But ahead, there were no collapsed city walls or any collapsed buildings.

The ground was uneven and pitted, with some areas filled with deep, bottomless water.

Cao Fengqi put away the extraordinary chariot and looked into the distance with a somewhat solemn expression.

With a thought, the Nightmare Domain spread outwards.

"All the buildings have disappeared!"

Soon, Cao Fengqi confirmed a piece of information.

There is only one possibility: the Sky-Supporting Imperial Capital of the Mechanical Empire has been invaded by a metal-absorbing evil beast, leaving the entire capital city completely empty.

"If all the metal in the entire capital were absorbed by evil spirits and beasts, it's unimaginable how terrifying this horde of evil spirits and beasts would be."

Cao Fengqi was extremely solemn.

"Huh?"

He quickly raised an eyebrow.

As the Nightmare Domain continued to expand and cover, he discovered that some openings on the ground connected to unknown underground areas.

"Is this the place leading to the underground mines of the Sky-Supporting Imperial Capital?"

Cao Fengqi's face showed surprise.

As the Nightmare Domain covered more than forty kilometers ahead, he found no buildings within it.

However, some withered trees, some tenacious trees, and some rockery remain standing in this once glorious capital city.

"It's so desolate it's almost eerie."

Cao Fengqi walked forward.

[A 7-kilometer radius has been scanned; 253 pieces of Level 1 supplies, 123 pieces of Level 2 supplies... 1 piece of Level 6 supplies, 1 piece of Level 7 supplies.]

"This is?"

As Cao Fengqi several kilometers deeper into the Sky-Supporting Imperial Capital, the information from the external scanner arrived.

His gaze sharpened, and he quickly looked over.

"All supplies came from underground. Was this because all the people in the Sky-Supporting Imperial Capital were moved underground before the invasion of evil spirits and beasts?"

Cao Fengqi speculated, his gaze drifting down to the resources below.

These treasures and resources were found at a depth of at least two kilometers.

"Beneath the Sky-Supporting Imperial Capital lies a large mineral vein, mined for tens of thousands of years, with various mine tunnels already existing beneath it. When evil spirits and beasts invade, the people of the capital may very well have already taken refuge beneath it."

Cao Fengqi pondered for a moment, then instead of letting the Guilou start digging, he continued walking forward.

[A 7-kilometer radius has been scanned. 259 Level 1 supplies, 145 Level 2 supplies... 16 Level 6 supplies, 8 Level 7 supplies, and 1 Level 8 supply.]

As he went deeper, the cheat program detected more and more information.

"Just as I suspected, all the treasures are underground."

Cao Fengqi had already confirmed in his mind that he had arrived in front of an underground entrance scanned by a Nightmare Domain.

"It is only one meter in diameter, resembling a deep well, with a depth of three kilometers."

"It's so narrow; it seems they're trying to prevent evil beasts from getting inside."

"It's a maze of interconnected passageways, a truly mysterious underground world."

Cao Fengqi stood at the underground entrance, surveying the area through the Nightmare Domain.

No evil spirits or beasts were found in the Nightmare Domain, so Cao Fengqi had no hesitation and jumped directly into the cave.

Having already achieved the ability to fly, his body plummeted rapidly downwards.

After falling for three kilometers, Cao Fengqi inside and found himself in a tunnel with a diameter of three meters.

Every few tens of meters along the tunnel walls are embedded luminous pearls, illuminating the entire tunnel.

Cao Fengqi looked on curiously, his gaze finally settling on the right. "This direction goes deep beneath the capital's center, and that level 8 resource is also in this direction, not far, only one kilometer away."

With that thought in mind, Cao Fengqi walked straight to the right.

He hadn't walked a kilometer when he came to a fork in the road, which led to an unknown area.

"The underground world of this Sky-Supporting Imperial Capital is truly complex."

He was increasingly surprised, but he didn't take the wrong turn and continued to venture deeper into the path.

There are remains.

When he arrived in front of the level 8 resource site, Cao Fengqi saw many withered bones on the ground.

The skeletons included both human and animal remains.

He glanced around with some surprise, but the cheat didn't send any warnings. Cao Fengqi continued walking towards the level 8 resource.
