Chapter 449: Extraterrestrial Monsters

If you don't go to space, you aren't an immortal.

Without reaching space, one cannot know the vastness of the universe or the insignificance of humanity.

Zhang Xingyu sat cross-legged on the top of an ancient tree, his gaze sweeping across the boundless night sky and the scattered, twinkling stars.

He was intoxicated by this beautiful scenery.

He reached out to touch his storage ring. At this very moment, there should be fine wine. A sip of aged liquor, a glance at the starry sky—how wonderful that would be!

His palm paused on the surface of the storage ring. He suddenly remembered that after so many days, the Hundred Flower Immortal Brew he had brought from Hundred Flower Island had long since been drunk dry by him.

He stared blankly at the night sky.

Just then, the void above his head suddenly rippled, as if something were crawling within it.

After a moment, the starlight around that patch of void gradually dimmed. It seemed something in the void was devouring the nearby starlight.

Zhang Xingyu reached out, and a dark gold longsword was already in his hand. He had fished this gold sword out from a stone pillar in the God Tomb on a Sunday. The sword body was neither gold nor jade, long and symmetrical, with three strange characters carved into the spine. He did not recognize these three characters, but he knew they were the script of the Primordial God Race.

He had not yet refined this sword, so he could not achieve the same mental connection as he had with the Heavenly God Sword, nor could he wield it as easily as his fingers like the Fire Dragon, Green Dragon, or Yellow Dragon. But with the longsword in hand, he felt much safer.

Above his head, the starry sky suddenly vanished, and immediately after, a massive black hole appeared silently. The pitch-black opening looked like a gaping maw, frantically devouring everything around it.

Zhang Xingyu felt his body tighten as a strange suction force came from above. He felt his body grow light, and his feet were about to be pulled away from the treetop.

Instinctively, he thrust the longsword in his hand into the tree trunk beneath his feet. He did not want to be swallowed by the black hole.

Unfortunately.

"Clang!"

The longsword deflected. He did not know what species this great tree was, but the hardness of the trunk far exceeded gold or iron. The longsword could not pierce it at all. Let alone piercing it, it didn't even leave a scratch.

Zhang Xingyu circulated his spiritual power, wanting to nail his feet firmly to the trunk. Unfortunately, the suction force from above grew stronger and stronger; his feet left the ground, and his body flew uncontrollably toward the black hole.

I'm done for!

When his despair reached its peak, a flash of light suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Great Poet Immortal, save me!" he shouted with all his might, looking back.

Below.

Li Bai's closed eyelids twitched.

"Hmph!"

A soft grunt escaped his nostrils.

At the same time, streaks of invisible sword intent pierced the night sky, whistling as they struck the black hole above.

The black hole shrank abruptly.

Zhang Xingyu felt his body grow light, and he regained his freedom. He hurriedly turned and flew toward the great tree. The black hole was too dangerous; it should be safer on the tree with the Great Poet Immortal.

Just as his feet stepped onto the trunk, the pitch-black opening above his head suddenly widened, spewing out clumps of black objects.

When he turned around, his mouth formed an 'O' shape. He stared at everything before him in disbelief. In his field of vision, massive UFOs were flying rapidly toward the great tree.

Alien invasion?

Before his mind could recover from the crash, he saw those massive UFOs hovering above the great tree.

A dazzling white light lit up on the bellies of these UFOs. A moment later, a circular opening appeared, and strange mechanical monsters whistled out from the hole. These mechanical monsters were about thirty or forty meters tall, with three heads and six arms, each head sporting sharp horns, and each hand gripping a gleaming broadsword.

This design was absolutely incredible!

At this moment, he was certain: there really was an alien invasion.

His hands, gripping the gold sword, trembled slightly. Not from fear, but from excitement.

An alien invasion! A plot twist that only happens once in ten thousand years actually happened to me. Next, I'm going to transform into Ultraman and use the gold sword in my hand to teach these little monsters from the chaotic galaxy a lesson.

Zhang Xingyu held the gold sword diagonally across his chest, striking a battle pose. Opposite him, three mechanical monsters had already surrounded him from the left, middle, and right.

Zhang Xingyu used the 'Ground-Lying Sword Technique' to slash fiercely at the foot of the mechanical monster on the left. There was no help for it; he was too short, and being able to slash at their feet was already considered decent. He couldn't use Sword Control either. It wasn't that he didn't know how, but the longsword in his hand didn't suit him, so he could only use it as a firewood chopper. Fortunately, he was agile; whenever a monster's foot was about to step on his head, he could dodge it narrowly.

Adopting close-quarters tactics, weaving between their feet, Zhang Xingyu slashed dozens of times. His strikes were extremely cunning, each one landing on the mechanical monster's toes, each one hitting the same spot. Although the monster's foot was hard, after dozens of strikes, one of its toes was still hacked off by Zhang Xingyu.

"Roar!"

The mechanical monster let out a roar toward the sky. Immediately after, it stuck its rear out, bent its knees, and its six arms holding the broadswords dropped down.

In an instant, Zhang Xingyu was trapped in a sword formation. Without time to think, Zhang Xingyu leaped up, and the longsword in his hand accurately pierced the mechanical monster's ankle. At the same time, six snowy-white blade beams slashed at him from six directions. Using the rebound force of the sword body, Zhang Xingyu's body suddenly climbed several meters higher. Although he narrowly avoided the six blade beams, he still felt a burning pain on his body. Six strange blade energies had invaded his skin and were wantonly destroying his muscles.

Damn it! Zhang Xingyu hurriedly circulated the Creation Art. After a moment, the blade energy that had invaded his body was finally devoured by his Creation Art.

Zhang Xingyu leaped and dodged, left and right, carefully avoiding the encirclement of the blade beams. He dodged more than ten times in a row, each time nearly being injured by the blade energy.

Physical strength dropping linearly, -10 per second.

Spiritual power dropping linearly, -50 per second.

Energy dropping linearly, -10 per second.

Patience dropping linearly, -50 per second.

What the hell, if a tiger doesn't show its might, do you think this deity is a sick cat?

While dodging, Zhang Xingyu turned his little brain to think of a countermeasure.

The next moment, a flash of inspiration struck his mind, and his body flew toward the mechanical monster's ankle again.

Six snowy-white blade beams slashed over simultaneously. Zhang Xingyu did not dodge or evade.

Just as the blade beams were about to reach him, he roared: "Bucket Transfer Star Shift!"

"Swish, swish, swish, swish!"

The six snowy-white blade beams passed through his body and slashed squarely onto the mechanical monster's ankle.

"Crack!"

The mechanical monster's ankle shattered instantly.

Zhang Xingyu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurriedly flew away while the monster was falling.

That was truly too dangerous just now.

Fortunately, the high-level divine ability "Bucket Transfer Star Shift" was effective.

Strike while the iron is hot.

When dealing with enemies, especially mortal enemies, one must have the spirit of beating a dog in the water.

Seeing the mechanical monster toppling, Zhang Xingyu gripped the sword with both hands, aiming at one of the mechanical monster's heads, ready to give it a hard blow.

Just at this moment, the sharp horn on the mechanical monster's head suddenly lit up.

A terrifying aura of destruction permeated the area around the horn. Zhang Xingyu was shocked. This aura was too terrifying; he dared not risk his life. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. If "Bucket Transfer Star Shift" couldn't transfer the damage from the horn, he would definitely be done for.

Dodge!

"One Thought Carefree!"

With a thought, the divine ability was activated. Zhang Xingyu's figure appeared like a ghost beneath another mechanical monster.

At the same time, a thunderous roar echoed in his ears.

He looked back and saw that the toppled mechanical monster had already exploded into pieces.

What the hell? Was that mechanical monster committing suicide?

No. Could it be...

A thought surfaced in his mind, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl upward. ===== CHAPTER 450 =====
