Chapter 580: Giant God Soldier, the Machine Clan's Conspiracy

"Haha, Lu Xun, you fought that battle well; the Demon Star must be dazed, right!"

"They deserved to be taught a lesson."

"One year after Fu Tianze woke up."

"When Lan Xing and the Demon Star were vying for a civilization tombstone at the Ancient Road Node, Lu Xun made a move and killed one of the Demon Star's Tenth Realm experts."

"This Demon Star is stronger than the previous one; they actually have three Tenth Realm experts."

"But now Lu Xun has killed one of them—this is going to hurt."

"In fact, if it weren't still necessary for the Demon Star to share some pressure, Lu Xun would have prepared to wipe out that Demon Star."

"After this battle."

"Other Spirit Stars now fear Lan Xing like a tiger, and hardly dare to compete with Lan Xing for the opportunities in the Ancient Road Node."

"This civilization tombstone belonged to a second-rank Spirit Star; that Spirit Star must have failed its ascension at the previous node, then turned into a civilization tombstone and rushed over."

"As expected, there's a pit."

"As Lu Xun expected, there was a pit inside."

"Fortunately, Lu Xun relied on his absolute strength to smooth over all the pits, and then obtained some things from inside."

"Every civilization still has its own unique strengths; absorbing these advanced aspects can bring growth and progress to Lan Xing."

"Time flew by."

"In the blink of an eye, several more years passed."

"Hahaha, we finally succeeded!"

"That day,"

"In Celestial Pivot City, Wu Wen was overjoyed."

"Because, after decades of consistent research, he actually found a way to control and awaken the Giant God Soldier."

"Wu Wen did not rush."

"He was waiting for an opportunity."

"That opportunity came soon."

"Because that day, Lu Xun successfully upgraded the Golden Toad to nine-grade, and everyone at Lu Ban Building went to see it."

"Wow, the Star Lord is truly impressive."

"Hmm, in this world, I've never seen anyone as impressive as the Star Lord before!"

"The Golden Toad, equivalent to a Nine Realm cultivator, was not that impressive, leaving the puppet masters of Lu Ban Building envious."

"What's nine-grade? This Giant God Soldier is the true god!"

"Wu Wen turned and returned to Lu Ban Building."

"Taking advantage of no one noticing, he privately used the 100,000 units of Dark Energy stored by Master Dangyang, injecting it into the Giant God Soldier."

"Come on!"

"Then Wu Wen activated the Giant God Soldier."

"Truly amazing!"

"Upon this activation, Wu Wen sensed that the Giant God Soldier felt like a piece of clothing he was wearing."

"Such puppetry technique is truly formidable."

"I never expected that the mechanical civilization possessed such amazing puppetry techniques—strange, how could such a powerful civilization fail its ascension?"

"Wu Wen felt some doubt."

"These doubts flashed through his mind."

"He did not dwell on them further."

"Instead, he let the Giant God Soldier start moving and rush out."

"Boom—"

"The enormous Giant God Soldier burst through the roof and shot into the sky."

"Accompanied by its display of power, Celestial Pivot City trembled slightly."

"What's happening?"

"Wow, you guys, look quickly!"

"Giant God Soldier, that's a Giant God Soldier!"

"How did the Giant God Soldier move?"

"Everyone was startled, all looking toward the Giant God Soldier."

"What's a nine-grade Golden Toad!"

"Inside the Giant God Soldier, seeing it draw everyone's attention, Wu Wen fiercely piloted the Giant God Soldier to attack the Golden Toad."

"Ribbit!"

"The Golden Toad launched a counterattack, but it couldn't budge the Giant God Soldier at all, and was sent flying by a single blow."

"So impressive!"

"This Giant God Soldier is probably equivalent to a Tenth Realm cultivator, right?"

"I feel it's likely even stronger than a Tenth Realm!"

"Many puppet masters were shocked."

"Indeed formidable; from now on, in the East, I, Wu Wen, will have a place!"

"Wu Wen was overjoyed."

"He seemed to see himself reaching the pinnacle, a scene where even Lu Xun would have to treat him with utmost respect."

"That guy finally had some sense; he didn't think he could use the Giant God Soldier to trample Lu Xun underfoot."

Beep beep beep~

He was happily enjoying himself when an alarm sounded.

Suddenly.

The giant god soldier's eyes instantly turned red, activating scan mode, sweeping over the entire Jade Ball City and the Lan Xing below.

What's going on?

Wu Wen felt something was strange; he hadn't issued such an order.

Something's off.

Soon, he realized something was off.

Because the giant god soldier seemed to be beyond his control.

Sure enough, there's a problem?

Outside.

Lu Xun calmly watched the giant god soldier.

This giant god soldier, from the very beginning, Lu Xun felt something was off.

This thing is no ordinary puppet.

In Master Danyang's estimation, the giant god soldier would be considered a puppet equivalent to the Nine Realms.

And as Lu Xun grew more skilled in the art of puppets, coupled with his rising cultivation, he sensed that the giant god soldier might be even stronger.

Thus, he still couldn't explain anything.

The problem lies in the runes on the giant god soldier's body, which are the same as those on the Ancient God.

To be precise, it's not that the runes are the same, but the script used for the runes is the same.

The runes themselves, however, are different; they are of different types.

This led Lu Xun to have some associations.

No matter what, Lu Xun couldn't rest easy about this giant god soldier.

Looking at it now, this giant god soldier indeed has a problem.

Indeed.

After the giant god soldier finished its scan, this guy moved and instantly vanished from its spot.

When it reappeared, it was in the starry void.

Immediately afterward, countless nanometer-scale robots flew out from the giant god soldier's body, rapidly constructing in space.

In a short time, a large spatial gate was about to be completed.

Oh no! It's about to open a teleportation array!

A Nine Realms expert sensed the giant god soldier's movement and wanted to go stop it.

But before he could get close, he was blown away by a death ray fired from the giant god soldier.

Pfft~

This Nine Realms expert vomited blood, having been heavily wounded by the giant god soldier.

If it weren't for Lu Xun's timely intervention, he might even have been killed by the giant god soldier.

Thank you, Star Lord.

No need for thanks; leave it to me.

Lu Xun moved and appeared near the giant god soldier, raising his hand to strike.

The giant god soldier fired another death ray, but Lu Xun shattered it.

Lu Xun didn't rush to destroy the spatial gate; instead, he walked toward it step by step.

Only when the spatial gate took shape did he suddenly strike, pressing down with both hands to suppress the giant god soldier.

This giant god soldier is indeed strong; even a Tenth Realm expert can't do anything against him.

Even against an Eleventh Realm expert, he could hold out for a while.

But in front of Lu Xun, he's still not enough.

No!

Wu Wen despaired.

Although the giant god soldier losing control made him panic.

But seeing such a mighty giant god soldier being suppressed by Lu Xun with just a raise of his hand, Wu Wen's beautiful dream was completely shattered.

At this moment, he deeply realized how terrifying Lu Xun truly is.

And he became a complete clown.

Before Lu Xun, he was like an ant.

After Lu Xun suppressed the giant god soldier, he moved and came before the spatial gate, as if sensing something.

After about a quarter of an hour, Lu Xun sensed something, his expression slightly changed, and with a light tap of his hand he destroyed this spatial gate.

This Mechanical Clan is not simple.

Lu Xun murmured.

Just now, he sensed an extremely terrifying existence passing through the spatial gate.

The other party's strength is likely already at the Twelfth Realm!

This is something Lu Xun currently can't handle, so he directly destroyed the spatial gate.

Mechanical Clan? I don't know which faction you mean, but if it's the strongest one, they once had a Red Dust Immortal.

A few hours later, Lu Xun appeared on Yao Xing.

Red Dust Immortal? The Mechanical Clan aren't mechanical lifeforms; can they also become immortals?

Lu Xun was curious.

Gu Yao glanced at him: "You Lan Xing have a saying: flesh is short-lived, mechanical ascension."

Lu Xun understood.

"Is that Red Dust Immortal still around?"

Lu Xun asked.

"Disappeared; it vanished many years ago, its whereabouts unknown, but now the strongest of the Mechanical Clan likely has at least the Thirteenth Realm—how come you've been targeted by them?"

Gu Yao said.

Disappeared.

Lu Xun thought of the Ancient God.

The Ancient God's imprisonment—could it be the work of that Red Dust Immortal of the Mechanical Clan?

Then, when the other side went to harvest the Ancient God, they were counter-killed by the Ancient God.

The Mechanical Clan, despite losing the Red Dust Immortal, remains formidable.

So, the civilization tombstone on the Ancient Road Node—was it intentionally made by them, a pit dug for latercomers?

This Giant God Soldier is actually intact; the reason Wu Wen can control it is not because Wu Wen is powerful.

But because Lan Xing's civilization has developed to a certain extent, the Giant God Soldier senses it and will naturally awaken.

Wu Wen is merely a catalyst.

Then,

The Giant God Soldier will then open a passage, allowing the Twelfth Realm of the Mechanical Clan to come harvest Lan Xing.

These guys,

Clearly they are mechanical lifeforms, yet their schemes are so slick.
