Chapter 107 (continued)

Are they in mecha form because they're trying to resemble their master?

Li Yang felt a pang of guilt.

Another red laser suddenly shot over.

Li Yang reacted extremely quickly, barely dodging the oncoming mech.

"Another one!"

Noisy Pot: "This is Death Domain! There are dead Star Weapon everywhere!"

Li Yang: "..."

This Star Weapon doesn't look dead at all! He made quite a commotion; he almost killed her!

This mecha is a little different from the previous ones; you can vaguely see that it's designed for a female body.

Star Weapon have no gender, but their masters...

Li Yang had no time to think and could only quickly dodge the fierce attack. After more than a dozen rounds, she had no choice but to find an opportunity to release her mental power.

After the mental beam landed on the mecha, the outline of the mecha reappeared in Li Yang's mind, resembling a beautiful, dark red longsword... The next instant, the mecha went berserk and crashed into the wall, self-destructing.

Still shaken, Li Yang murmured, "Why bother?"

Noisy Pot: "They've just lost their owner, but they won't change owners."

Li Yang clearly sensed that when her mental energy focused on them, she had the potential to manipulate them.

For these Star Weapons, this act was akin to accepting a new master.

Only when faced with such intense stimulation will they choose self-destruction.

Li Yang did feel a little reluctant, but she didn't feel any guilt.

After all, they were the ones who attacked her first.

If these mechs ignore her, she won't use her mental power to attach to them.

Two or three more mechs appeared in succession. They were all different in appearance, but the only thing they had in common was that they would launch indiscriminate attacks on Li Yang.

Li Yang has also been trying to suppress them with his Physique Points.

But it turned out that it didn't work at all.

Even Fourth Grade Realm's Physique Points couldn't break through their defenses.

But once she releases her mental power, they all choose to self-destruct without exception.

After Li Yang eliminated the five mechs, the surroundings finally quieted down.

She was breathing heavily, leaning against a pile of ruins.

There are no other mechs available for the time being.

Li Yang also understood why it was so difficult for the Star Wielders from Huaxia to survive after arriving in the Death Domain.

Normally, those who enter the Sword Tomb are at the Fourth Grade or Fifth Grade Realm. Once they reach the Sixth Grade Realm, there's no need to be obsessed with a growth-type Star Weapon, because they've already missed the best time to cultivate it.

Even if you spend a lot of time and effort to train them, they may not be as useful as some ready-made Star Weapon.

Most of those who come to the Sword Tomb are Star Wielders at the fourth or fifth rank, and Star Wielders at this level don't have very high Spirit Points.

Because when advancing to the Master, Physique Points is not the only factor considered; instead, a perfect Star Aperture is required, which necessitates maximizing Spirit Points.

Most Star Wielders only want to improve their cultivation level first, so they only slow down and focus on increasing their Spirit Points once they reach the Sixth Grade Realm.

Li Yang's Spirit Points is exceptional; while Spirit Department Star Wielders can rival her, they are often extremely weak in solo combat and dare not come to the Sword Tomb.

These factors combined have led to a persistently high mortality rate in the Death Domain.

However, since Li Yang has already figured out the rules of the Death Domain, he can breathe a slight sigh of relief.

While mechs are indeed formidable, they also possess a fatal weakness.

Unless a higher-level mecha is available, Li Yang can use his mental power to cause it to self-destruct and die.

The only problem is that mental energy recovers very slowly.

Corresponding recovery pills are even rarer.

Li Yang wasn't brought at all because its price-performance ratio was too low.

She could only sit in meditation and try to recover her mental energy before continuing her exploration of the Death Domain.

There is only one way to leave the Death Domain: find the Reversal Formation Core.

System: [Consume lifespan to increase mental energy recovery speed.]

Li Yang: "..."

Sister Longevity always manages to surprise her.

As long as she has enough lifespan, it will introduce a new life-saving feature.

Li Yang's current lifespan is capped at 40,000 years.

For the past ten days, the large creatures of the Nature Department and the Plow Ox Clan have been working tirelessly in the outer city of the East District, while Li Yang has gained more efficient harvesting methods with the help of the Scythe of Ice.

Although after advancing to the Fourth Grade, she could only harvest ten years of life at a time, it couldn't stop the scale of her farming from growing larger and larger.

After ten days of continuous effort, Li Yang raised his Physique Points to 4100 points and his Spirit Points to 4000 points.

Li Yang has retained approximately ten thousand years of lifespan.

She couldn't bear to continue grinding away at her Spirit Points during her ten thousand years of lifespan.

Even after advancing to the Fourth Grade, the difficulty in increasing Physique Points and Spirit Points remains outrageous.

Physique Points takes 100 years to increase by even one point, while Spirit Points takes three times as long. This is all under the premise of not encountering any unfortunate events.

This mere ten thousand years isn't enough to raise your Spirit Points to 4100 points.

Li Yang decided not to continue improving, but instead kept the skill level for future use.

After all, it's still uncertain whether there are any Star Plant in the Sword Tomb.

If there's anything that requires her life, she'll be left helpless.

And so, it found a new use.

Anyway, Sister Longevity can't stand her having too many lifespans in her hands.

Li Yang: "Consumes ten years of lifespan to increase the speed of mental energy recovery."

It's impossible for her to come up with 100 years' worth of time all at once. Ten years is already a big favor; she always feels that if she said she'd only ask for a year, Sister Longevity would ignore her.

[Mental energy recovery speed increased by 10%].

That's alright, at least they didn't insult her.

So Li Yang spent another 90 years increasing his mental energy recovery speed to 100%.

Li Yang clearly felt her mental energy recovering at double speed, and she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Should I consume another ten years to continue improving?"

[Mental energy recovery speed increased to 101%].

Okay... curiosity is no good.

Sister Longevity started demanding exorbitant prices.

Double speed is already good enough; Li Yang doesn't need that much speed for now.

She was still worried about something and asked the system, "Is the speed of mental strength improvement permanent?"

Sister Longevity shattered her illusions: [This is for a limited time only.]

Li Yang: "..." What a trap!

Once her mental energy is depleted, wouldn't she have to keep sacrificing her life force to level up quickly?

Li Yang finally understood why double speed only takes 100 years.

It turns out it's a one-time use item!

However, this feature is better than nothing.

In case of any emergency, she might be able to sacrifice thousands of years of her lifespan to quickly replenish her mental energy...

Thinking of this, Li Yang began to miss Jiang Yuqing.

Jiang Yuqing is much more economical than Sister Longevity!

However, refining Spirit Department pills is extremely troublesome, Jiang Yuqing cannot refine them yet; he must at least reach the Fifth Grade Realm.

After Li Yang's mental strength was fully restored, he got up and looked around at his surroundings.

The ground was littered with broken scrap metal, all from the self-destructing mechs.

In addition, the Sword Tomb has an exceptionally solid ground and rows of solitary walls.

Perhaps there were houses here before, but now all the houses have been destroyed, leaving only these indestructible walls standing here all alone.

Li Yang had seen these walls before; the sturdy mechs chose to self-destruct by crashing into them.

Curious, she focused her mental energy on her eyes, carefully observing the walls.

"Can you analyze the Tongzi?"

[Should we use 5000 years of our lifespan for material testing?]

Li Yang didn't want to say a word, just pretending he had farted.

However, Li Yang also confirmed one piece of information: the wall material was of very high quality.

Unfortunately, no matter how high the quality, she couldn't take it with her.

Even if the Qiankun Bag couldn't hold it all, and even if it could... this thing couldn't be pried off.

Li Yang then examined the mecha wreckage on the ground. She first used her mental power to screen it, and when she felt that the quality of a certain piece of wreckage was good, she asked Sister Longevity about it.

[Would it take 500 years to conduct material identification?]

Li Yang silently put the remains into his Qiankun Bag.

Identification?

There's absolutely no need for that.

Materials worth 500 years are still worth keeping.

As the saying goes, "For every clever plan you have, there's a countermeasure, "Li Yang has her own way of getting Sister Longevity under her thumb.

After tidying up this area, Li Yang looked into the distance.

This Death Domain name truly lives up to its name; it is indeed a place of utter lifelessness.

I wonder if anyone else has come to this area, and where Jiang Qingqing is?

However, Qingqing has always been quite lucky; she was probably teleported to the Life Domain.

Li Yang packed up the Qiankun Bag, not in a hurry to find the Reversal Formation Core.

The materials she was looking for might not be in the Life Domain, but since she had found a way to temporarily survive in the Death Domain, Li Yang wanted to seize the time and search thoroughly.

Li Yang walked on the ruins for about ten minutes before seeing another burst of red light.

Another mech charged toward her.

Li Yang leaped up, easily dodging the attack, and then released her mental energy.

The moment the mech was enveloped by the psychic beam, it went berserk and crashed into the ground.

There were no solid walls here, so it chose to crash into the ground and die.

Amidst the rumbling sounds, another scene of ruins unfolded.

Li Yang shook her head and sighed, "Why bother?"

After saying that, she quickly went to collect the wreckage of the mecha.

She didn't need to ask Sister Longevity anymore; she could identify several materials. As for their use, she didn't know yet, but it wouldn't hurt to bring them along.

Li Yang was already experienced and knew that there wouldn't be just one mech here. Sure enough, she heard a rumbling sound of footsteps.
