Chapter 264: Mechanical Nezha

The Chaos Sea expedition started strong but ended weak, yet since the matter was settled, everyone naturally returned home.

After all, Xu Puti's attainment of sagehood had a huge impact; all sides needed to hurry back and report it upward to cope with the influence of his sagehood.

Ao Yifan naturally brought Nezha back to Chen Tang Pass, after all, Lady Yin was pregnant again, and he needed to keep her company, as well as the dozens of women in Chen Tang Pass.

Ah, I'm still destined to toil after all!

He sighed inwardly, and Ao Yifan thought to himself.

If he could, he really wouldn't want to do this, but for everyone's happiness he could only endure a bit more hardship.

After all, there is now the threat of the so‑called extraterrestrial demons, and he truly cannot relax even for a moment.

Dad, look, what is this?

Suddenly, Nezha's voice came.

Hearing that, Ao Yifan turned his head and stared, dumbfounded.

Nezha, how did you manage this?

Looking at the mechanical person beside Nezha that was almost identical to him, Ao Yifan rubbed his eyes, almost thinking he had fallen under an illusion.

Dad, I'm not sure either; I just studied them for a while, figured out the demons' principles, and then made this using myself as a template.

As he spoke, Nezha patted the mechanical person beside him that was identical to himself.

The next moment, the mechanical Nezha grinned and said, "Dad, isn't Nezha very awesome?"

Indeed, very awesome!

Ao Yifan's mouth twitched; that sentence was indeed what he truly felt.

Before, Ao Yifan only knew that Nezha was handy, using the materials from the monsters he killed to make things each time.

Clothes, belts, boots, and even some weapons.

Ao Yifan didn't mind these, after all, Nezha couldn't forge artifacts, and what he made weren't treasures.

However, Ao Yifan never expected Nezha's skill tree to warp like this.

This time, many of the so‑called extraterrestrial demons were slain, and the immortals didn't care much about the preserved materials.

Because these materials lacked spiritual energy, they could not be used to forge artifacts, and thus were seen as worthless.

Yet no one expected that these insignificant materials, in Nezha's hands, would have such an effect.

Ao Yifan couldn't fathom how Nezha had figured out the principles of these mechanical beings, after all, even a quasi‑sage like Grand Master Xuan Du couldn't see through them.

But the fact is, Nezha used a patchwork of materials to make this emergency person modeled after himself.

Dad, these demons' methods are indeed clever, look!

As he spoke, Nezha waved his fire‑tip spear, and the next moment a scar appeared on his own wrist.

Blood flowed out, and was quickly absorbed by the mechanical Nezha.

You little brat, you're really harsh on yourself!

Ao Yifan scolded.

After all, this is his own son; seeing Nezha harm himself like that, how could he not feel heartache?

Charging complete!

As the mechanical Nezha's voice fell, its eyes flashed with light.

The next moment, Nezha threw his fire‑tip spear, and the mechanical Nezha reached out to catch it.

Boom—

Accompanied by a surge of demonic power, terrifying Samadhi True Fire spewed from the fire‑tip spear.

This sight left Ao Yifan completely dumbfounded.

Nezha, don't tell me that the demon you built can actually use your power, can it?

Ao Yifan looked at Nezha, shocked.

Dad, that's natural!

Nezha said proudly, and immediately the mechanical Nezha shot up into the sky; soon, with power bursting forth, Ao Yifan realized that the so‑called mechanical Nezha was definitely not a dummy.

This thing actually has all of Nezha's power!

Ao Yifan felt a jolt in his heart.

He instantly realized that perhaps, on this Chaos Sea expedition, Nezha was the one who gained the most besides himself.

If things followed their original course, Nezha would lose his fleshly body and eventually become the Lotus Child.

However, with Ao Yifan as his strong father, Nezha's heavenly tribulation curse was directly dispelled by Ao Yifan.

So, up to now, Nezha has been fine and has not become the Lotus Child.

However, things are unpredictable; although the lotus incarnation is gone, no one expected that this brat would have already made a mechanical incarnation!

The mechanical Nezha, powered by Nezha's blood, can unleash all of Nezha's strength.

Moreover, the mechanical Nezha has the advantage of ignoring soul pressure and being almost immune to attacks from all soul‑type treasures.

Furthermore, this thing is ultimately just a segment of program code; even if destroyed, it has no effect on Nezha himself.

This can be seen from the Singer Civilization's fleet, which can trade death for injury.

More importantly, according to Nezha's own words, given enough time he can produce a legion of mechanical Nezhas!

This is far more formidable than a monkey's hair clone.

After all, the mechanical Nezha can fully exert Nezha's power.

The only limitation might be the materials used to make the mechanical Nezha.

"If we give Nezha some Chaos Supreme Treasure‑level materials, could he craft a mechanical Nezha with saint‑level defensive power?"

Thinking of this, Ao Yifan felt a stir of excitement.

After all, Nezha has always felt resentful that his strength is inferior to Ao Qian's.

As for this, Ao Yifan could do nothing.

Simply because Ao Qian's talent truly surpassed that of Nezha.

Plus the Supreme Treasure Illuminating the World Lamp, this also makes Ao Qian's strength a class apart among his brothers and sisters.

Ao Yifan has always treated his own children impartially.

The other children are fine, but Nezha hates to lose, so Ao Yifan also wants to give him a hand.

"Zha'er, if Dad gives you some chaos supreme treasure–level materials, can you build an even stronger mechanical Nezha?"

Ao Yifan said.

Hearing this, Nezha's eyes lit up.

"Dad, really? Do you really have supreme treasure–level materials?"

"Hehe, for now there's none, but Zha'er, don't worry—I'll definitely get you some chaos supreme treasure–level materials."

Ao Yifan smiled, rubbed Nezha's head, and said.

Hearing this, Nezha leapt into Ao Yifan's arms, cooing, "Dad, you're too good to Zha'er—once I forge a stronger mechanical Nezha with supreme treasure–level materials, I'll make the three‑eyed child see my power!"

Hearing Nezha's words, Ao Yifan couldn't help but smile.

He never expected history's inertia to be so great—the Lotus Flower Child Nezha is gone, but a mightier mechanical Nezha has taken his place.

As for this, Ao Yifan also eagerly awaits it.
