“Big Brother Fei Su is still as reliable as ever. He’s already suppressed these beasts,” a voice from within a mecha stated.
“Of course. Big Brother Fei Su is very powerful. He’s General Fei Yan’s son, and a future Imperial Conquest General. He’s even qualified to compete for the position of Marshal.”
“Don’t say that. Little Qing will be the Marshal one day, whereas I’ll just be a general,” Fei Su interjected, though there was a clear note of pride in his voice.
As he spoke, he looked over at a distant, cyan-colored mech. The mecha was even sleeker than Fei Su’s blue one, and it gave off an air of elegance and possessed an unusual allure. “Little Qing, you can report the outcome to the Marshal. This universe has surrendered. We can begin searching for resources.”
“Got it. By the way, which of these beasts do you like? Just take it to be your mount.”
A voice came from the cyan mech, “Are you sure they’ve surrendered?”
“Of course,” Fei Su replied, He then turned to stare at Xu Qing and the various astral beasts. “All who do not wish to die, get over here now.”
Just as Xu Qing was about to reply, Ku Wei appeared on his back. “Eh, which of you beasts is making all this commotion? You’ve disturbed your grandpa’s rest. Do you want to die?”
All eyes turned to Ku Wei.
Xu Qing was surprised to see the human and wondered if his appearance was because of a new command from the Dao Monarch.
The entire area fell silent for a moment, and then Fei Su furiously demanded, “Who are you?”
“Humans?”
“Are there humans in this universe?”
“It doesn’t matter. We’ve conquered many human civilizations before. If they don’t submit, we’ll just annihilate them...”
Ku Wei casually picked at an ear, cleaning it as he stared at the blue mech. “Are you talking to your grandpa over here? Listen up! I am the commander of the Giants Army of the Astral Beast Domain! You trash have trespassed into the Astral Beast Domain, and you even dare to dream of conquering it, which is utterly laughable. Are you here to tell jokes to your grandpa?”
“You’re seeking death!” Fei Su raised his mecha’s massive sword and attacked Xu Qing.
The sword was enormous, and it was as long as the arm of a colossal giant as it fell towards Xu Qing.
Xu Qing swung his twin spears with a thunderous roar as he struck the massive sword.
There was a boom as lightning traveled along the blade, racing towards the mecha, which ignored the attack. The enormous blade smashed down onto Xu Qing.
Far away, a flicker of recognition appeared in Lu Yin’s eyes at the sight of peak Envoy-level strength. It was quite impressive to reach this level of power with pure technology.
It was clear that Xu Qing was no match for the sword. His lightning only managed to stall the blade briefly before Xu Qing was forced to quickly pull back.
Fei Su sneered. “You want to run? I’m going to purge this universe!
“What are you waiting for?”
The dozen mechas beside Fei Su activated and charged at Xu Qing and the other astral beasts. Each of the mechas was enormous, and on top of that, each one possessed the destructive power of an Envoy, which easily overwhelmed the astral beasts.
The first row of astral beasts that had arrived to offer their surrender to the invaders fled, and the Envoy-level beasts behind them moved forward. Among them were the colossal giants, Chen Huang and Chen Ling.
The two colossal giants were about the same size as the mechas, which immediately drew attention.
“Giants? Interesting. Capture them!” Fei Su ordered as he swung his sword. Xu Qing was pushed back, and the mecha shot towards Chen Huang.
Nine-lined battle force covered Chen Huang’s body, and he let out a roar as he punched at Fei Su.
The mecha was massive, but it was also incredibly agile. It easily dodged the punch, and its retaliatory sword swipe landed on Chen Huang. The colossal giant was sent reeling back, an open wound on his arm.
Chen Ling pushed forward, a heavy punch slamming into Fei Su’s mecha, which did not move at all.
“Your strength isn’t bad, but it’s not enough,” Fei Su scoffed as he kicked Chen Ling and sent him flying.
The sight of a colossal giant being knocked back was truly spectacular.
The dozen mechas easily subdued the nearby astral beasts, including the beasts that had the strength of a peak Envoy. Raw strength was one thing, but being able to break through the mechas’ defenses was an entirely different matter.
Lu Yin stared into outer space, watching as the patriarch of the Soaring Firebeast blasted a mecha with flames. The beast had a power level of 900,000, but his flames only managed to push the mecha back in a strange manner.
In a one-on-one fight, astral beasts with the same power level were no match for the mechas, which were perfectly protected by their shields. On top of that, the mechas had been made with extremely durable materials that were so rare that even Little Bear had commented on their value. Such substances were too rare to be used in spacecraft, let alone to create mechas.
The astral beasts were completely outmatched. Lu Yin ordered Ku Wei, “Bring one of those mechas to me.”
Ku Wei was still standing on Xu Qing’s back. The human was not even a peak Envoy, and he was no match for the mechas, even if he transformed into a colossal giant. Still, he had no choice but to obey Lu Yin’s command.
The Heavens Sect could not act rashly yet, as they still lacked a clear understanding of this enemy’s full strength. Acting rashly could tip the Infinity Empire off.
Gritting his teeth, Ku Wei called out, “The master has given his orders! All hands, attack!”
Up above, one of the mechas wielding a chakram released a slashing attack. This mecha had a power level of a million, similar to Xu Qing. Inside the mecha, a man laughed maniacally. “Kid, you’ve got a smart mouth. Go to hell!”
Suddenly, the mecha froze, and the man inside looked up. An alarm was blaring, but he could not see any attack. “Analyze!
“Spiritual force? This universe is getting even more interesting.”
At that moment, the Celestial Demons arrived, led by Yao Xuan. None of them had a power level of a million, and when they tried to attack with spiritual force, they found that it was completely ineffective, as the shields blocked spiritual force just like all the other forms of attack. They were a comprehensive defense.
Several more Envoy-level experts arrived in the Astral Beast Domain, but all of them were also crushed by the mechas.
While the power levels of the two sides were comparable, none of the astral beasts were able to penetrate the mechas’ defenses.
“Master, we can’t hold them back!. These things are too ridiculous,” Ku Wei lamented.
Lu Yin let out a breath. “Yao Di, go ahead.”
Yao Di was unable to restrain himself any longer. It was his Celestial Demons’ territory that was being attacked. As Lu Yin had once said, the Heavens Sect served as the protector of the entire Origin Universe, but it did not force all powers to join the sect. The Celestial Demons remained independent, just like the Sword Sect, Mavis family, and several others.
The Celestial Demons’ territory was struggling, and Yao Di was the one suffering the most at this moment.
As soon as he heard Lu Yin’s command, Yao Di leaped into action. His wings spread wide as he released his Semi-Progenitor-level spiritual force across the universe, targeting the Infinity Empire’s mechas and ships.
