The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator - Chapter 66 - 64: The End Point
Chapter 66: Chapter 64: The End Point
The image of vigor reappeared, and Duan Junyou’s expression remained calm.
He gazed at the tranquil Star Sea in the holographic display, spoke lightly, and although he was in the conference room, his voice resounded in the flagship’s command room.
“Initiate Level One Alert.”
With those words,
in the command room, the Judgment Legion’s senior officers and staff all displayed solemn expressions and began to busy themselves.
The entire Star Sea appeared extremely peaceful, yet some arrangements had long been made in preparation.
…
Star God Forbidden Area.
At a certain place.
Amidst a dull sound, a figure flew backward and fell to the ground.
It was a man, his injuries were not severe, and after supporting himself to stand up, he silently took out the Secret Medicine for healing and swallowed it to suppress his injuries.
In the distance,
a petite figure retracted her fist and stood there.
She appeared to be about five feet tall, female, with a baby face, eyes full of disdain, as she withdrew her gaze from the fallen man and looked to another side.
“He’s already lost. Chen Zhiwu, it’s your turn now.”
A crisp voice echoed.
Chen Zhiwu, male, with a square face, dressed in combat gear resembling ancient martial attire, frowned slightly and said calmly, “Ning Zhi, your talent isn’t bad, even born with Giant Power, but that’s not enough to be my opponent.”
“I suggest you save your strength and honestly assist me in delving deeper into the forbidden zone.”
“That way, after the Chosen One selection ends, we can explain ourselves when we return.”
By his words, these three were clearly part of a team, yet they confronted each other now.
Ning Zhi’s look of disdain did not waver; she raised her hand, clenched her fist, and her battle spirit was intense.
“Whether I can win or not, we’ll know after the fight.”
“Chen Zhiwu, are you scared to fight?”
“Scared?”
With a word, Chen Zhiwu let out a cold laugh and shook his head, “It seems you haven’t realized the gap between us.”
As the words fell,
Life Energy surged, expanding from his physique to form a suit of faintly glowing armor.
On the other side,
the disdain in Ning Zhi’s eyes faded, replaced by intense interest.
Her momentum surged; though she was petite, she embodied an unyielding spirit.
The tension built, and a great battle was imminent!
It was then, sensing something, both of them turned to look in the same direction.
There, a roar was heard.
“That sound isn’t human.”
“Energy Constructs rarely move extensively, so this means… an Extraordinary Creature is approaching.”
As he made this judgment, Chen Zhiwu looked at Ning Zhi, “It seems that our battle needs to wait.”
“Let’s first assess the strength of these incoming Extraordinary Creatures, then decide.”
Ning Zhi did not respond verbally, but her eyes were fixed on the source of the commotion, clearly agreeing with the plan.
The third person, initially defeated, also adjusted himself from healing to a combat-ready stance.
About ten seconds later,
in their sight, a Saber-toothed Tiger, with thunder swirling around its fangs, rapidly approached. Sensing the existence of Ning Zhi and the others, it roared, its voice like thunder!
Deafeningly loud, the Saber-toothed Tiger cast a fierce glance at them from afar, did not attack, and continued on its predetermined path.
In an instant,
it vanished from their sight.
“Did I just see something wrong?”
“Was there a person on that Extraordinary Creature?!”
The third team member murmured.
“You didn’t see it wrong.”
Ning Zhi’s voice rang out with a hint of trembling, “That guy subdued a tiger-like Extraordinary Creature in this forbidden zone.”
Extraordinary Creatures possess intelligence, and defeating them is much harder than defeating Constructs.
Subduing them is even more challenging than killing them, by an unknown margin.
Beside her, Chen Zhiwu also had a look of shock in his eyes, silently pondering something.
Just then,
Ning Zhi retracted her imposing presence, and without saying a word, suddenly turned to continue her advance.
“You’re not fighting anymore?”
Chen Zhiwu raised his brow slightly.
“You’re too ordinary.”
Ning Zhi shook her head, speaking bluntly, “If a fight’s to be had, it should be with someone of that caliber.”
“I don’t want to waste energy on you anymore.”
With those words, she leaped and in a few acceleration steps, disappeared from sight.
Beside him,
the third team member looked at Chen Zhiwu, “Brother Chen, what do we do now?”
Chen Zhiwu waved his hand, his frowned eyebrows relaxing.
“You should head back directly.”
He turned around, chasing in the direction Ning Zhi left, “The Chosen Ones left in the forbidden zone will only get stronger. This place… is no longer suited for you.”
Leaving his final words, his figure also vanished in a few breaths.
At the original spot, only the third person remained.
He twitched his face twice before turning back towards where they came from.
“Tch, two show-offs.”
“It’ll be hilarious when they get beat up deeper inside.”
Leaving his final words, he too completely disappeared.
…
In the western forbidden zone,
Yunluo Mountain was setting up the final record point.
This Crown Sect team, after the initial bloody battle, rarely encountered other teams.
The zone is vast, without any guiding means; finding a specific team is like searching for a needle in a haystack.
After setting the final record point, assisted by teammates, Yunluo Mountain stood up. This pale-faced man, at this moment, seemed like a flickering candle in the wind, appearing close to death.
“Ding Que.”
He spoke with a slight tremble, forcing himself to say, “Now, the task is complete, you can go do what you want.”
Ding Que’s tall figure was hidden under a cloak. He looked at Yunluo Mountain and said to his teammates supporting him, “Take him back to the base quickly.”
“Since the task is done, the sect should at least keep him alive.”
With that, he whipped his cloak and turned, fully accelerating as he strode towards the depths of the forbidden zone.
…
Search, hunt.
As time passed, Qin Jin rode the Saber-toothed Tiger, hunting Constructs, with the special power within his physique gradually increasing, delving deeper into the forbidden zone.
The Star God Forbidden Area has several entrances; the encounters within are different, and each team’s progress varies.
Now,
with the help of the Saber-toothed Tiger, Qin Jin has undoubtedly become the leader.
He did not actively ambush other teams.
Other teams and the zone’s environment will naturally assist him in this step, acting as a filter.
After defeating another Construct, Qin Jin felt the repulsive force within the forbidden zone, nodding slightly.
“More or less, it’s enough now.”
The special power within his physique could already be considered abundant.
“No need to look for more Constructs.”
Transmitting the command through his mind, Qin Jin raised his head towards the front.
The towering Thunderbolt Divine Tree, appearing more vast as the distance shrank.
It seemed within arm’s reach.
“No other team can progress as fast as I can.”
With this thought, Qin Jin, astride the Saber-toothed Tiger, set off again.
His target…
The core of the forbidden zone.
The birthplace of the Star God!
