Chapter 364: Mechanical Clan
In the cosmic starry sky, it was silent and still, without even a single bright star.
During this time, Li Feng had been rushing on his journey, with a bad premonition in his heart, wanting to return to Sky Blue Star as soon as possible.
“Could something have happened to the Luo family?”
He muttered to himself, feeling an increasing sense of urgency. He looked at Sky Cat and asked again, “Are you sure the divination is reliable? Is this the route to Sky Blue Star?”
Such straightforward words.
Almost pierced through Sky Cat’s young heart. It exclaimed excitedly, “Are you questioning a Sky Cat? This is a great insult to me.”
Its cat face puffed up, revealing its white and gray belly. It looked really angry.
Li Feng looked awkward, and then he talked about the events on the ancient star. In the end, he asked it several times what went wrong with its miscalculations.
“Divination is inherently defying the heavens. Some mistakes are normal. This is going against the will of heaven,” Sky Cat lacked confidence, but its voice was loud and clear, emphasizing again, showing no sign of guilt.
Buzz!
Just as they were bickering, a disturbance came from the distant cosmic starry sky. A huge, spindle-shaped battleship slowly approached, like a small boat drifting in the ocean.
Because it was so far away, it seemed to move slowly, but it was traveling at the speed of light. In the blink of an eye, it was almost upon them.
In the starry sky, many huge meteorites were floating. Li Feng and Sky Cat hid behind a rock, watching quietly. The battleship soon passed them.
“This is a battleship built by the Mechanical Clan!”
Suddenly, Sky Cat spoke, “I didn’t expect these hateful guys to come too. This is going to be troublesome.”
This was the first time it felt things were tricky.
“The Mechanical Clan, are they very powerful?” Li Feng seized the opportunity to ask.
He knew nothing about things outside the universe. Now was a good time, with an encyclopedia by his side, to inquire about matters beyond the universe, so he wouldn’t be completely clueless.
“Very powerful. This clan is one of the seven strongest races in the universe, capable of rivaling my Sky Cat Clan,” Sky Cat’s face showed a rare solemn expression.
Li Feng took a deep breath. He already knew how terrifying the Sky Cat Clan was, capable of divining the trajectories of most races in the universe, incredibly frightening.
Unexpectedly, this Mechanical Clan could actually stand alongside the Sky Cat Clan.
“This clan is very annoying. They are born from metal and have no requirements for the environment of a planet. They plunder all ores and energy. The demise of many life-bearing ancient stars in the cosmic starry sky is also related to them. However, they usually move in groups of hundreds of battleships. This one should be a scout.
These Mechanical beings are very cold-blooded, their emotions are inherently weaker than those of ordinary beings. They have committed one b*oody act after another.” At the end, Sky Cat showed a look of disgust.
A cold glint flashed in Li Feng’s eyes. In that case, if they reached Sky Blue Star, wouldn’t it be a great disaster?
“Oh no, they’ve discovered us,” Sky Cat said urgently, its fur standing on end, ready to attack at any moment.
In the cosmic starry sky, the battleship was originally traveling straight, but it suddenly changed direction and headed straight towards Li Feng and Sky Cat.
In the blink of an eye, the battleship was close. A circular opening split open at the bottom of the hull.
Boom!
A beam of light shot out from the opening, almost at the speed of light, instantly landing on Li Feng and Sky Cat.
Countless runes flickered within the light, and a restraining force appeared. Li Feng felt like a mountain was pressing down on him, making it difficult to move.
“They want to capture us? Treat us as prey?” His tone was cold. He hadn’t even intercepted them yet, but they made the first move.
“That’s right. I want to kill them,” Sky Cat resisted fiercely. Countless runes erupted from its body, and the light instantly dimmed, almost disappearing.
In the end, Li Feng stopped Sky Cat, saying, “Don’t be hasty. With just this one battleship, fighting them in the cosmic starry sky puts us at a disadvantage. It’s better to enter the battleship and tear them apart from the inside.”
Hearing this, Sky Cat thought he had a point and stopped resisting.
…
…
Inside the battleship!
There were three five-meter-tall Mechanical beings. They had elegant lines, their bodies gleaming with metallic luster. Other than that, they looked no different from normal humanoid creatures.
“Hmm, I didn’t expect to encounter a Sky Cat here. What good luck. We can capture it for dissection and research, allowing our Mechanical Clan to advance further.”
“Outside, the Sky Cat Clan is not to be trifled with. No one dares to hunt them, as they would be found out through divination. But in this forbidden zone, the heavens are blocked. Even if they die, no one will know. We’ve been in the starry sky for a long time, but today’s harvest is very worthwhile. We’ll definitely receive a generous reward when we return to the clan.”
The two Mechanical beings on the right stared at the screen, their faces showing excitement.
The Sky Cat Clan was very difficult to deal with in the universe. No one would willingly offend such a race. Being targeted by a Sky Cat meant they would suffer great misfortune in the future.
But here, they were fearless and could act as they pleased.
At this moment, the Mechanical being on the far left spoke, “Hmm, there’s also a human. It should have been captured by the Sky Cat. It has no value.”
“Hmm, humans are very weak in the universe, only considered a mid-tier race, not even reaching the upper tier. Indeed, they have no value. But we’re heading to Sky Blue Star this time, a planet inhabited by humans. I wonder if it’s related to this person?”
“The capture is complete. Let’s go and see our prey!” The Mechanical being in the center spoke. His body was red, and his eyes emitted a captivating light.
…
…
Inside the battleship, a sealed laboratory.
“D*mn it! No one has ever treated me like this,” Sky Cat’s face was very unpleasant. It was locked inside a huge tube.
Li Feng’s face was calm. Since they were going to attack soon and kill all these Mechanical beings, he wasn’t too angry.
He looked around at the environment. Nearby, there were many other captured creatures. Their conditions were very bad. Some had more than ten metal tubes inserted into their bodies, their eyes filled with fear.
Most appallingly, he saw some young creatures who had also been subjected to cruel experiments, missing limbs.
“These were all captured by the Mechanical Clan for experiments. I wish I could kill them all,” Sky Cat said, its voice full of killing intent.
It was obvious that if it were captured, it would be treated the same way, subjected to various experiments until the Mechanical Clan got the results they wanted.
“Don’t worry, they should be coming soon. Let’s just wait for them here,” Li Feng said, comforting Sky Cat.
Sky Blue Star’s technology was advanced. He knew that such a battleship would definitely have powerful weapons inside. Therefore, he needed the right opportunity.
“Hehe, a fat cat was captured. I wonder if cat meat tastes good?” Suddenly, a creature in a test tube next to them spoke.
This was a Birdman, with white wings on his back and a fierce expression on his face.
“Are you looking to die?” Sky Cat was already in a bad mood. Now being provoked, its eyes showed a fierce glint, its fur standing on end, emitting a dangerous aura.
“Tch, you’ve been captured, and you’re still acting arrogant here? So what if you’re a Sky Cat? Your fate is the same as mine, no different,” The Birdman, who had recognized Sky Cat’s identity, mocked.
Sky Cat completely lost it. Even Li Feng’s persuasion was useless. It wanted to kill this Birdman.
Clang!
At this moment, the door to the secret chamber opened, and three Mechanical beings walked in. They had cold expressions on their faces, their eyes looking at Sky Cat and Li Feng.
But they paid more attention to Sky Cat, not really caring about Li Feng.
“This creature is very magical. It can peer into the secrets of the heavens. I wonder what it looks like inside? Are there Dao Markings in its blood?”
“Very likely. But don’t kill it too quickly. We need to study it carefully. Don’t waste a single drop of blood. After all, a living Sky Cat is very valuable. They are difficult to capture outside,” one Mechanical being said.
Such blatant discussion made Sky Cat’s expression turn cold, but its anger subsided. They were just dead men walking.
Nearby, the Birdman laughed silently, with mockery, but he didn’t dare to speak.
“Huh, this human is also very strange. Run a scan,” Suddenly, the red-bodied Mechanical being spoke. His eyes were like torches, emitting a divine light that scanned Li Feng, obtaining a set of abnormal data.
“What? This human has the aura of the River of Time, and also the aura of the long-lost Destruction Clan.”
Hearing this, the other two Mechanical beings were moved and looked at Li Feng.
“We really caught a big fish this time. A few days ago, didn’t someone in the starry sky summon the River of Time? Could it be this kid?”
“Impossible. With his strength, he couldn’t possibly do it. But there might be some connection.”
A few days ago, they had seen the River of Time penetrate the forbidden zone. Its vast aura, boundless, was awe-inspiring. They didn’t expect to capture someone related to it.
“Don’t ask. We can use some methods to pry open his sea of consciousness. That’s the only way to get the most accurate information,” In the end, the leading Mechanical being gave the order.
“Are you looking to die? Or are you looking to die? You captured us for no reason, want to use us for experiments, and even want to pry into my secrets.”
Li Feng’s heart was cold. Did they already consider themselves the victors? That they could slaughter him at will?
“Shut up. Prey should behave like prey,” The red-bodied Mechanical being scolded, looking at Li Feng with disdain.
“Attack!” With such an attitude from the other party, Li Feng could no longer tolerate it. He shouted, and a flying sword slashed out, instantly striking the tube.
Buzz. The tube was made of rare materials, with arrays and divine runes engraved inside, making it difficult for ordinary people to escape. But at this moment, the sword light was incredibly bright, annihilating all the runes and shattering the tube.
【Danger, danger. An extremely dangerous creature has appeared. It needs to be eliminated immediately. 】
Alarms sounded throughout the battleship, very piercing.
“I’ve been waiting for you to say that,” On the other side, Sky Cat said excitedly, runes swirling around it. The copper coin struck out, also shattering the tube.
【Danger, danger. A new extremely dangerous creature has appeared. It needs to be eliminated immediately. 】
The alarm sounded again, and red lights flashed in the secret chamber.
“Be careful!” The three Mechanical beings’ expressions changed drastically. The red-bodied Mechanical being swatted at the longsword with his palm.
But the result was tragic. This half-step Source Realm Mechanical being was split in two and fell to the ground.
A Mechanical being next to him was furious, “Human, you’re looking to die.” But before he could finish speaking, his fate was no better. A copper coin fell, crushing him into a lump of metal.
It was Sky Cat who had made a move. It had been frustrating for so long. With a furious strike, it unleashed terrifying power, killing a half-step Source Realm Mechanical being.
“You”
The last remaining metal Mechanical being saw the tragic fate of his companions and turned to flee, wanting to use the battleship to deal with the enemy.
“Kill!”
Since they had already made a move, how could Li Feng let this Mechanical being escape? He waved the longsword, and sword light flooded the area in front of him.
That Mechanical being couldn’t escape and exploded.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a huge fist came, striking towards the back of Li Feng’s head, emitting sonic booms.
It turned out that at some point, the Mechanical being that Li Feng had initially split in two had fused back together. It hadn’t died and now wanted to sneak attack Li Feng.
“You dare to kill my friend, Guduo, go to h*ll, human,” He was extremely angry. He originally thought he had hunted good prey, but he didn’t expect the prey to be too strong and counterattack them.
Causing the death of his two friends. He regretted it. He shouldn’t have personally contacted Li Feng.
Bang!
Li Feng turned around, his fist meeting the attack. The opponent exploded with a bang, turning into metal fragments.
“He’s not dead yet!”
Then, a surprising scene appeared. The metal fragments fused back together, and Guduo came back to life.
“Activate the destructive weapon. Kill him,” Guduo reappeared and gave the order to the battleship.
“Received.”
Above, a cannon barrel appeared, firing a beam of light that emitted a terrifying aura. Li Feng quickly dodged. With a boom, the spot where he had been standing was blasted into a large hole.
“Kill!” Li Feng destroyed the battleship’s weapon and killed Guduo again, blasting his body apart.
“Human, you can’t kill me. You’re dead. You dare to kill us Mechanical Clan members. There’s no place for you in heaven or on earth.”
The opponent revived again. His vitality was very tenacious. He kept shouting, his eyes filled with resentment.
“Heh!” Li Feng sneered, “You captured me, didn’t you want to use me for experiments? Now this result is all your own doing. The Mechanical Clan is very powerful? I’ve even killed members of the Void Clan, let alone you?”
With that, he attacked again, shattering the opponent.
“Haha, you want to kill members of the Void Clan? Humans are weak in the cosmic starry sky. I’ve destroyed countless ancient stars belonging to humans. They’re like ants,” Guduo’s face was cold as he recounted his conquests.
This made Li Feng’s eyes even colder, chilling to the bone, “Sky Cat, what’s going on with him? Why can’t he be killed? I really hate this guy.”
Ordinary resurrections had limitations. Each time someone revived, they would ultimately weaken and eventually perish. But Guduo seemed fine. Even when smashed to dust, he could still revive.
“Don’t be delusional. You can’t kill me. Just wait. The signal has already been sent out. I’m just the vanguard. The main force is behind. You’re dead then.”
On the side, Sky Cat had already begun to deduce. Its eyes were shining as it examined Guduo inside and out.
Finally, it reached a conclusion, “This Mechanical being has fused with divinity. You need to gradually wear down the Divine Factor in his body, otherwise it’s difficult to kill him.”
“How do we wear it down?” Li Feng asked.
Guduo was startled. He didn’t expect Sky Cat to be so terrifying, to see through his reality. But he quickly calmed down and sneered, “Want to wear down the Divine Factor? With your cultivation that hasn’t even reached the Source Realm? You can’t do it.”
He was relieved. He was a scout exploring the forbidden zone, needing to transmit information. Therefore, the clan’s experts had also invested heavily, giving him this characteristic of immortality.
“You can try using that mechanical construct left behind by the Destruction Clan,” Sky Cat’s eyes darted around as it spoke.
It was testing to see if Li Feng could still summon the River of Time or control that mechanical construct.
“What? You have a mechanical construct of the Destruction Clan? Could it be that you really summoned the River of Time?”
Guduo was shocked to hear their conversation.
The Destruction Clan was very skilled at destruction. If the opponent really controlled such a weapon of mass destruction, he wasn’t sure if his Divine Factor wouldn’t be worn down.
Bang!
Li Feng didn’t answer. He punched Guduo, and then used the Gravity Bullet. A black hole appeared in the battleship, sucking in all the metal fragments.
“Ah, what is this? No, the Divine Factor is being crushed,” A series of miserable screams came from the black hole.
Guduo couldn’t revive. He was killed completely.
Sky Cat was almost scared to death. It was too close to the black hole and felt a sense of crisis, “Did you want the battleship to explode and take us all down with it?”
Fortunately, the black hole disappeared after grinding Guduo.
“You jinx!” Li Feng glared at it.
