Chapter 415: Arrival of A Great Calamity
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
The metal tentacles were as thick as pillars yet as nimble as snakes. They continued to slam out, smas.h.i.+ng into the giant wall.
There were over ten tentacles bundled together and took the form of a drill bit that continued on their way, drilling toward the giant wall and wanting to create a huge hole.
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
Energy blasts shot forth constantly as genetic power gushed out. The metallic tentacles crumbled and withered in the fire; their particles exploded.
The toughness of the metallic tentacles was exceptional, not inferior to the strongest alloy humanity had discovered. Ordinary attacks would be ineffective.
Only transcendence force from mythological genes could affect the tentacles, causing them true harm.
Many cultivators in the attacking formation team understood the theory of mythological genes. They unleashed all sorts of bizarre abilities and destroyed the metallic tentacles from the most basic microscopic atoms.
No matter how tough the tentacles were. As long as its toughness didn’t reach the basic cosmic matter law, it would always consist of atoms and particles. No matter how tough it was, as long as its internal structure was damaged, it could be destroyed.
Everyone discovered this weakness that wasn’t a weakness. They ignored the consumption of their genetic force and continued unleas.h.i.+ng their abilities, attacking from the microscopic level.
Numerous thick tentacles exploded into countless tiny metallic fragments. The blood that flowed out was a substance like an engine oil.
The giant mechanical monster was heavily injured. Its eyes shone with a b.l.o.o.d.y light as even more tentacles ferociously smacked over.
There were over thousands of tentacles. Just over a hundred of them could form a huge web or take the form of a giant fist, or a drill bit… There were all sorts of forms as they slammed over.
Under the control of the mechanical monster, the flexible and tough tentacles were capable of countless transformations.
If this was still in the past, there would be no reliance.
Regardless of the warriors or students from the university, they were no different from ants before this mechanical monster. If the tentacles. .h.i.t, they would be crushed into minced meat just like their previous comrades.
But with the existence of the nine-layered wall, they had found a tool of reliance for them in the starry s.p.a.ce. The wall was like a gigantic turtle sh.e.l.l protecting them.
As long as this giant wall didn’t break, no matter how ferocious the attacks of the mechanical monster were, it wouldn’t be able to injure them.
With this stronghold, they could even hold the pa.s.s against ten thousand enemies.
Rumbling sounds kept ringing out when the monster attacked it, but it still held solidly.
Many cultivators of the attack formation team stood above the giant wall. There were all sorts of medicinal substances in their mouths that enabled them to rapidly recover their vitality and genetic force. Genetic power from their abilities stirred the starry s.p.a.ce, and the energy torrent gushed out like a flood of water, all of them slamming into the gigantic monster.
Although the mechanical monster was extremely huge and had a very tough body whereby it was hard for them to damage it, but given that it was in a pa.s.sive position of being attacked, the small injuries would acc.u.mulate, and its tentacles eventually were destroyed and fell from the air.
For a time, the guns and cannons of the attacking team blasted out, causing the giant mechanical monster to tremble from the impact. It was unable to advance.
Right now, they had a complete advantage over the situation of the battlefield.
“We blocked it, we blocked it!”
“The monster won’t be able to get near the university any longer!”
“We shall destroy the giant mechanical monster alongside the mechanical beast army of the spirit race!”
…
With everyone working together, the battle situation slowly s.h.i.+fted, making it so that they held the advantage now.
Countless people within and without the Great Wall University were rejoicing. This scene was broadcasted to all of humanity in the universe and created an uproar of jubilation.
“As expected of the pillar of humanity, the Great Wall Army!”
“With the Great Wall University being present, the foundations of us humans would be like a solid boulder in our star region. Nothing can shake us!”
“Long live the Great Wall!”
…
Although the majority of people were cheering when they saw this scene, there were still some cool-headed people calmly observing the changes to the battlefield.
Through these thousand years, humans encountered over a hundred interstellar wars and the duration of every war would last a long time.
The spirit race traversed through star systems, rus.h.i.+ng over with ferocious momentum. Thus, it was impossible for them to give up so easily.
The war had only just begun.
Although humans seemed to be occupying the advantage now, as long as they didn’t become the final victor, there would always be another variable that could tip the balance of the battlefield. No one could be sure of the final ending.
And Feng Lin was clearer about the situation than most of the people, as he was personally on the battlefield. He was also observing all the changes on the battlefield carefully.
Could this giant mechanical monster be so clumsy? It had nothing to aid its mobility?…
Although there had been no signs of changes to its attacks and movements since it appeared, Feng Lin had to consider all possible changes to the situation if he wanted to combine the strengths of everyone so they could defeat the strong with the weak. After all, the humans now were like dancing on a tight-rope and walking on a bladed mountain. They couldn’t afford to be careless.
If there really were changes, they might not be able to react in time if they didn’t consider things carefully. The current situation would collapse immediately and it would be too late to save it.
Although they had the advantage now, if they couldn’t convert this advantage into victory, the scene might be nice to watch but it was in truth useless.
The energy of this giant mechanical monster seemed endless. If they continued to be deadlocked against it, they would have no chance of victory.
Hence, when it was injured, they must try to take its life!
The attacking team already occupied the advantage, they would naturally seize it and unleashed all their killing techniques ruthlessly. Their genetic power surged out like it was a free buffet; all the attacks were targeted at the mechanical monster.
For a time, the gigantic mechanical monster couldn’t do anything. It howled in anger but still had no way to advance.
The advantage the cultivators held grew even greater, like they were getting increasingly nearer to victory.
Almost half of the tentacles of the mechanical monster were destroyed. It was now like a tiger without fangs or claws and could only posture by roaring angrily.
Were they finally going to succeed?
Countless gazes gathered here, filled with antic.i.p.ation.
Things were concluded just like that?
Yet, Feng Lin didn’t relax, for some reason, he actually felt a hint of wariness in his heart.
Wind from an empty case, there would definitely be a reason for that.
He was walking on the Sun Wukong Mythological Path and had fused the Dao Heart Gene with the Spirit Gene. His senses were extremely sharp and he could faintly sense something bad was about to happen.
Despite all the obstruction, the mechanical monster still pushed its way through, trying its best to rush forward. Could it really think that just by suffering some damage, it would be able to rush into the Great Wall University?
One must know that there were many Marshals in the Great Wall University, and all of them were extremely powerful cultivators who could travel through s.p.a.ce by virtue of their powerful bodies alone. Their life-level had already evolved into a higher tier. Although they were still humans, they could already be considered as another lifeform.
The spirit race was an intelligent alien race, and they couldn’t have possibly neglected this point.
As time pa.s.sed, he felt increasingly uneasy. There seemed to be something wrong with the situation.
And at this moment, the people of the attacking team—upon seeing that they occupied a huge advantage—didn’t mask the impatience in their hearts at all. There were actually people rus.h.i.+ng down the giant wall, wanting to gain the contribution points of killing this gigantic mechanical monster.
“Advancing prematurely due to greed. Not good!” Feng Lin’s expression changed; the feeling of danger in his heart intensified as he roared.
RUMBLE~
At the next instant, the situation of the battlefield changed drastically.
The eyes of the monster shone with a red light, and its metallic tentacles actually gathered and fused, becoming larger and thicker.
The flexible tentacles gradually became extremely tough metallic pillars that acted like hands and legs. The monster transformed into a giant beast with six legs. Its legs spread open as its movements became unbelievably agile while rus.h.i.+ng forward. There were no signs of its earlier clumsiness as it began to climb the wall.
“What?” Those people who rushed forward couldn’t react in time. The giant beast’s rush directly smashed them into pieces from and they turned into cosmic dust.
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
The mechanical beast started to run up the wall. Each step created a shocking footprint as the entire wall trembled from the impact.
Its tentacles retracted into its body, and a st.u.r.dy metallic sh.e.l.l formed around it, enabling it to better withstand the impact of the genetic powers. Despite so, many cracks appeared on the sh.e.l.l, revealing shocking wounds.
But within its body, numerous tiny machines resembling cells gushed toward the area of injuries and constantly replenished the destroyed parts, allowing the monster to have an impossibly quick recovery rate.
And simultaneously, when it was recovering, the mechanical beast directly rushed over.
All the cultivators in the attacking team felt their hearts sank into the bottom of the valley.
A great calamity had arrived!
