Chapter 991 - Fallout
Half a month passed.
Fang Yuan sat cross-legged with a light in his eyes. “Sure enough… there should be a fourth and fifth level to the Heaven Devouring Mystic Technique!
“And… I’ll only be able to condense the Heaven Devouring Great Dao when I reach the fifth level!”
He had utilized the photon computer with the highest computing power in the alliance, as well as the assistance of his Arcane Smart-Brain, to deduce not only the fourth level of the Heaven Devouring Mystic Technique but the later level as well.
“The fourth level of the Heaven Devouring Mystic Technique should be the agglomeration of Heaven Devouring nomological rules. It will only become the core of the Great Dao at the fifth level!”
The original Heaven Devouring Mystic Technique’s properties changed in the stats window, and a progress bar appeared.
“33.4%? This is probably due to the alliance’s support and them providing the psionic crystals!”
Fang Yuan had also discovered that the special product of this universe, the psionic crystal, could not only help in the breakthrough of the third level’s bottleneck but would also be of great benefit to the agglomeration of the Heaven Devouring nomological rules.
Previously, he had exploited half of them from the Zerg Empresses and the other half from the reactors of the thousand Blood Dragons to break through the bottleneck and enter the third level.
The remaining energy and the portion given by Venerable Three Star had helped him make progress into the fourth level of the Heaven Devouring Mystic Technique.
“As for the fifth level, forming the Great Dao, it’s a little troublesome. Fortunately, there’s a Demon Supremacy Wish Fulfillment…”
Fang Yuan stood up and walked out of the laboratory.
In the huge factory, the Blood Dragon Thearch stood proudly with its armor now a more vivid crimson brilliance.
The Blood Dragon Thearch had returned to its peak state after the modifications he had personally presided over.
Fang Yuan stared at the tall blood-red mecha for some time before suddenly smiling and touching the mecha with his right hand.
Poof!
That very moment, his whole being seemed to become like water and poured into the mecha.
Buzz buzz!
The Blood Dragon Thearch’s eyes lit up as it struggled free of the scaffolding, broke through the roof, and overlooked the surroundings.
A few stars emerged and eventually landed in front of it as mechas that were headed by Augustus’s Wings of the Sun God!
“I feel that it’s about time too!” Fang Yuan sighed quietly. “Put away the bow once the birds are gone; boil the hound after the cunning hare is killed!”
“Lin Meng, that’s where you are wrong!” Augustus stepped forward. “How many pilots did you kill when you devoured so many Blood Dragons?”
“It makes no sense to argue about this now!” Fang Yuan shook his head. “I’m just curious, why do you have this confidence to find fault with me now? And aren’t you afraid of the backlash from the contract?”
Even after giving them important information and promising to leave in a month, the reactions of these higher echelons were still the same.
“Leaving in a month was just something you said yourself. As for ascending to the second universe, it’s difficult to prove as well… In addition, the contract was to fight hand-in-hand, and we have already done that. After the conclusion of the contract, it will naturally no longer have any effect…”
Augustus sighed. “Your information was just to delay for time, right? What do you really want to do?”
“Congratulations for guessing right, but it’s a pity that I can’t tell you!”
Fang Yuan smiled, and the Blood Dragon Thearch stepped forward.
A number of mechas stepped back unconsciously. “We can only solve this via force then!”
Clang! Clang!
Right at that moment, the Blood Dragon Thearch roared as though there was something living hidden in it. It squirmed and spat out four black nails.
“Did you think that I, the creator of this mecha, wouldn’t find out when you did something to the mecha?” Fang Yuan smiled faintly.
“Indeed…” Augustus looked on at this scene without much surprise, as though he had already guessed it, and clapped.
A black mecha with a terrifying aura appeared.
The Cosmic Thearch! King of Gaias!
“Augustus! Don’t forget our promise!”
Even though he was called upon to assist, the King of Gaias was still carefully discussing conditions.
“Rest assured. Nothing will be missing from our promise. However, your low asking price was out of my expectations!” Augustus replied lightly.
“I have no choice. It’s for my people. He will conquer this entire universe if we allow him to continue like this!”
The King of Gaias roared, “Let’s attack together!”
A mysterious look appeared on Augustus’s face at that moment. “Wait!”
“Ding! Warning! Warning!”
“Insufficient energy! Please recharge!”
…
A blood-red screen appeared in front of Fang Yuan.
All mechas used psionic crystals as energy sources.
Augustus had had another card up his sleeve, and he was waiting for the one buried in the reactor!
The psionic crystal was almost exhausted, and the reactor would soon shut down.
Moreover, different mechas required different types of psionic crystals that needed to be preprocessed and segmented.
Even if Fang Yuan could take out a psionic crystal now, he would not be able to insert it into the reactor to get the Blood Dragon Thearch to operate normally.
“We’ve carefully studied your battle videos and found that you are too dependent on the mecha. If you lose the Blood Dragons, I believe that the King of Gaias and I will be able to take you down with minimal injuries!” Augustus blustered, trying to attack Fang Yuan’s confidence with all means.
“Your plan isn’t bad! Unfortunately…” Fang Yuan shook his head. “Activate backup energy mode, target… me!”
Rumble!
The Blood Dragon Thearch started up again and howled!
A giant shadow emerged and merged with the mecha.
“Blood Dragon Thearch?”
“It suddenly started again?”
…
Augustus and the King of Gaias were both shocked and immediately ordered, “Go all out!”
“Eternal Sun!”
“Universe Destroying Bomb!”
“Still Time!”
“Xiantian Qi Five Elements Restriction Void Immortal Technique!”
…
Numerous techniques converged, and the planet immediately shook. It seemed as though only destruction was in sight.
“Prepare Zero Lock!”
In the periphery, the Thunder God, Black Death God, Gemini Star, and Wuhou Star jointly opened an energy barrier. “Zero Lock!”
From their actions, it was evident that they had envisioned how this battle would go. A photon computer might have simulated every move countless times, and their coordination was impeccable.
The light curtain of energy unfolded instantly, wrapping the Blood Dragon Thearch within and forming a small battlefield.
The light from many immortal techniques and arcane spells concentrated on the Blood Dragon Thearch.
“Still Time, Immortal Sword Tactics!”
Fang Yuan also performed his immortal technique-arcane spell combination. The light between his hands blended into one point toward the attack.
All was silent when the two lights collided.
After a few moments, it seemed as though countless invisible lines started going mad. The Zero Lock exploded. The Black Death God and the other mechas exploded one after another.
A black hole formed where the two light spots had touched.
This was not a star, but a true black hole, like a leaking point of the universe. Without exceptions, everything was quickly sucked in and disappeared.
Mechas, the sky, the earth, the planet… even void and time!
“Haha!!!” Fang Yuan laughed upon seeing this. “Augustus, King of Gaias, I have you to thank… I couldn’t have ended this universe without your cooperation!”
This black hole might only be devouring a tiny portion of the universe’s mass, but the universe was diminishing with every moment and disappearing completely.
As a result, all of humanity and the cosmic lifeforms would become extinct because of this black hole.
The end of the universe was just that horrifying!
Only such a thorough destruction would completely disturb this world and make its Heavenly Dao manifest!
“This is… a wound of the universe?”
“The legendary zero point? Where everything returns to nothing?”
Some Undead Immortals were enriching their knowledge; others escaped in a panic; even more were agonized. “Heavens… what have we done?”
“It’s too late to regret now! Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Creation Divine Fist!”
Fang Yuan manipulated the Blood Dragon Thearch to punch out, invoking Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water to envelope the Cosmic Thearch.
A red long sword swung sharply.
“Still Time! Immortal Sword Tactics!”
He went beyond the limit of speed and caught up with the fleeing Wings of the Sun God in an instant, leaving deep marks in its fuselage.
The energy of Yin and Yang flowed together, causing a large explosion, catching the golden mecha in it.
In merely an instant, the original siege became Fang Yuan’s victory.
“Why bother when you know what will happen?”
He sighed, unable to define the mood in his heart. He went to the side of the black hole and watched as half the planet was distorted and disappeared into it.
The astonishing suction was still there, but it would not cause him any harm.
He could feel the movement of the black hole even at this distance.
“As expected… This universe might be vast, but as long as you can master the method, you will be able to create a flaw… And this flaw will affect the operation of this world. Only the Heavenly Dao can make up for it!”
At this point, Fang Yuan realized that even though the devouring power of the black hole was still present, it was slowing down.
This was the universe healing its own wound. Of course, it could also be regarded as the operation of the Heavenly Dao.
Fang Yuan’s lips twitched upward in a cunning smile when he saw this. He appeared above the mecha with his hands raised. “Heaven Devouring Mystic Technique!”
Roar! Roar!
Suddenly, a huge mouth appeared in the void, as if it was the manifestation of Taotie, tearing around violently.
Countless fine and dense nomological rules, even enlightenment on the Heavenly Dao, appeared in his heart.
“Wh-what is he doing?”
The other mecha pilots did not understand, but they were trembling in fright.
Their telegnosis allowed them to know that whatever Fang Yuan was doing was very unfavorable to them.
Augustus and the King of Gaias could not get close to the black hole even if they tried.
“The Heaven Devouring Mystic Technique… can truly devour a Heavenly Dao!”
Fang Yuan was delighted. “A Heavenly Dao is the convergence of many Great Daos. If I can devour it completely, I can break through to the Netherheaven realm immediately!”
