BANG, BANG, BANG!
The wall trembled. The tremors could be felt under everyone’s feet. The originally tight formation couldn’t help but slacken.
The mechanical beast took huge strides, moving over. Its figure was as large as a mountain as it smashed its way over, exuding overwhelming pressure, causing everyone’s breathing to be hurried.
Numerous large eyes grew all around its body, shining with a piercing red light. The red beams shot out were incomparably hot and were like a light sword wanting to slice everything in their way. Wherever it passed by, the steel and stones were crumbled from the impact.
This sudden change in the situation caused all the cultivators to be stunned. A strong sense of danger and unease appeared in their hearts.
No one had imagined that the giant mechanical monster whose size was comparable to an asteroid could instantly transit into this form, invoking a huge change to the situation. This was simply unimaginable and illogical. No one could have predicted this.
But the truth just occurred before their eyes, and they had to deal with it.
The monster transformed into a giant with a thousand eyes. Its movements became extremely nimble as its speed increased. The sturdy and immobile wall could no longer block it. It would be able to break through the wall sooner or later.
“No good, we must stop it!”
“We cannot allow it to cross the wall and attack the university.”
“We will protect the Great Wall University!”
...
All sorts of voices rang out from the attacking team. The cultivators unleashed their attacks with their full strength.
Heat Implosion!
Momentum Rush!
Gravity Control!
...
Genetic powers were like strands of invisible laws that intersected in the starry space, distorting the area as great amounts of energy blasted out.
The cannons also fired unceasingly, causing flames to arc through the sky.
Fireworks were everywhere; the energy torrents instantly engulfed the mechanical giant.
BOOM!
A thunderous blast suddenly rang out.
The chest of the giant monster suddenly cracked open as light radiated forth. A sphere-shaped energy ball blasted out, and it resembled a small sun and radiated boundless fire and heat. It felt incomparably violent and intense.
Particle torrents, electromagnetic fluctuation, the temperature instantly soared to over ten thousand degrees. The surrounding space was instantly bombarded, not a single thing remained.
Under this attack, all objects crumbled to their most basic particle structure, turning into cosmic dust.
These genetic powers were considered in the realms of cosmic energy. They were also dispersed with nothing left behind.
The particle torrents and their impactful burst gushed over.
“Quickly evade!” the attacking team exclaimed. They were all thrown into chaos because of this, but at this moment, it was too late to evade.
The several hundred figures at the front row had no time to retreat. Them, alongside with the mecha-micro armor they wore, were instantly vaporized. There was nothing left, not even their bones. They were completely obliterated.
Such a terrifying might truly invoked boundless chill and fear in the hearts of people.
The originally tight formation was now slackened as a huge gap appeared. The entire formation appeared to be crumbling.
With just a single strike, chaos descended.
The giant mechanical monster took large strides over. Each of his steps caused an explosive bang as it rapidly closed the distance. It showed no signs of its earlier slowness.
A flood of particle storms gushed out.
The chest of the mechanical giant was actually a nuclear fusion furnace that was akin to a small sun. Boundless light and heat converged into energy beams and shot out from the furnace. Everywhere the destructive beams passed, the surroundings would be scorched, as all things within would crumble apart completely, not leaving any traces of their existence.
It was like a storm of absolute destruction. The attacking team which originally possessed the advantage was now in a dire situation. They appeared utterly defeated, no longer able to obstruct the mechanical monster’s advance.
“How could this be?”
“Unable to block it, we can’t block it!”
“The mechanical giant is about to topple the Great Wall University!”
...
Exclamations rang out.
Feng Lin’s expression was extremely heavy.
This mechanical monster was capable of such transformations, yet it held back previously. Clearly, it wanted to catch everyone unaware for an opportunity to cause huge destruction.
This was a killing move it wanted to use to topple the Great Wall University.
Because it was obstructed by the steel wall and the cultivators in the attacking formation, it had no choice but to unleash it.
For a foe to reveal a killing move so early should be a good thing, strategically speaking.
However, for those facing the mechanical monster head-on on the battlefield, this feeling wasn’t good at all!
This simply filled everyone with despair. There was no way to block it at all.
...
“We have to think of something to obstruct the mechanical giant!”
“We cannot allow it to get near to the Great Wall University!”
“We cannot retreat!”
...
From within the despair, incomparable conviction rose in their hearts. In a short few instances of exchange, their wills were aligned.
As soldiers of the Great Wall Army, they had no path of retreat. They couldn’t retreat!
The location they were in was the edge of humanity’s star region.
Behind them, were the territories of humanity.
If they retreated, who would be able to stop these alien invaders from attacking their territories?
They had no one behind them to depend on, they had no path for retreat.
(We absolutely cannot retreat!)
“GET LOST FOR ME!” Numerous voices of anger rang out in the starry space, filled with unyielding rage.
These cultivators all had red faces from the exertion. They unleashed the entirety of their energy as shocking waves of power gushed forth from them.
Flames, lightning, wind...
The empty space was filled with torrents of energy flows, gushing outwards.
It was like a storm had instantly engulfed the mechanical giant, wanting to obliterate it completely.
Everyone gave it their all; their attacks caused sparks to be emitted upon impact against the mechanical giant as it trembled under the onslaught of attacks.
This was especially so it had no way to change its size.
The people of the attacking team were like ants trying to shake a tree, rushing over, not knowing what was a retreat.
Many of them unleashed the entirety of their strength and were completely drained. They no longer had any stamina left to fight.
Numerous reinforcement flying shuttles flew over, fetching the exhausted ones back to the Great Wall University for recovery.
But the nuclear fusion furnace at the chest of the mechanical giant seemed to contain endless energy. It blasted out particle storms that engulfed everything ferociously, sweeping through the surroundings.
Regardless of flying shuttles or cultivators, all of them were on the verge of collapse upon contact. They were facing the danger of death constantly.
Let alone resisting, it was already extremely difficult for them to protect themselves.
If this continued, defeat was for sure. There would be no other ending.
Not only could the giant steel wall not block the advance of the mechanical giant, but the cultivators of the attacking team were also beaten into retreat constantly.
The situation grew increasingly dangerous.
“Is it really going to end like this?”
“We can’t block it anymore!”
“All our efforts ultimately ended up in nothing!”
...
Wherever it was, on or off the battlefield, the hearts of everyone who saw this scene were shaken.
The tight formation got more and more lax; it was about to crumble.
Feng Lin stared at the changes on the battlefield. His expression also became incomparably heavy.
The three teams of formations—defense, attack, and killing—they were supposed to work together and cover for each other.
If the attacking team couldn’t injure this mechanical giant heavily and reveal a flaw, it would be impossible for the third team, the killing formation team, to do anything.
Feng Lin might have killing weapons such as the crimson gold cinnabar pill but right now before this mechanical giant, it was like trying to pour a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood. It was difficult for him to deal a critical strike!
What should they do?
The situation entered a predicament, They couldn’t retreat nor advance. It caused all of them to feel a sense of helplessness.
Feng Lin’s mind spun rapidly, trying to think of a strategy to break the situation.
The body of the mechanical giant was overly huge, what sort of methods could he use to deal heavy injuries to it?
One must know that right now, the steel wall was basically already useless.
(Mhm?)
(Wait a moment!)
Feng Lin’s heart suddenly stirred as he glanced at the giant wall.
This wall was extremely large. Other than defense, it could be used to cause destruction too!
If this steel wall completely exploded, it would be akin to a giant bomb that could shake the starry space!
At this moment, Feng Lin saw a ray of hope to turn the situation.
