This is really not mechanical ascension-Chapter 1406 - 716: Impressive Courage

"You can’t run." The voice of the Abyss Lord was filled with extreme repressed anger, and a fear he was trying hard to conceal.

This was not fear of Li Ming, but fear of the Great Universe.

He had always tried hard to avoid his actions triggering the universe’s instinctive resistance, always being extremely cautious and following the universe’s laws.

Appear when it’s time to appear, leave when it’s time to leave.

But unexpectedly, this damned universe instinct can still give rise to such a terrifying life form.

He could clearly capture Li Ming’s Information State, knowing that the opponent’s true age and experience were not falsified at all.

Less than a hundred years, reaching this level in less than a hundred years.

He believed that every action he took against Li Ming reached the limits of his ability at the time.

When he first discovered the opponent, he forcibly sent Tanwus to the Main Universe, even at the cost of a temporary slumber.

But Tanwus achieved nothing, both confrontations ended in crushing defeat.

Later, he further strengthened Levinbeck, wasting no time.

Yet this guy could absorb the special Blood Fog he created to strengthen himself.

This time, he spent a large amount of Eternal Abyss Power, crafting an environment akin to the Eternal Abyss deep within the Abyss Fog, almost equivalent to his home field.

The creation of bearers and fourteen Eternal Abyss Dominators were his kill moves, regardless of attendance, Li Ming would face immense trouble.

Yet, this guy again excavated the legacy of the Glory Dynasty, forging a bloody path out.

Not only that, but also the opponent’s various strange capabilities, a body that instantly repaired after severe injury, the continuously condensing Ultimate Weapon, and the suppressive force field surrounding his body.

More terrifyingly, Li Ming is now merely an X Level Life Form.

But the Life Level is rapidly ascending, compared to last time, it has risen substantially,

The Abyss Lord had a premonition, once the opponent becomes an Ultimate Life Form, he would be utterly helpless.

The fourteen Eternal Abyss Dominators stood in a line, each was once an executioner of the extinct Evolution Era, stained with the blood of countless life forms, but at this moment, they dared not step beyond the line.

They were also puzzled, just what is the situation with this Evolution Era, how could such a life form be born.

These words seemed like the impotent rage of madness, Li Ming stood outside the boundary, wings of light drooping behind him, faintly rejecting the surrounding smoke, squeezing out a piece of pure land.

Seeing that the other side did not dare to pursue, he was somewhat certain.

The nearby area should be specially crafted, the Abyss Lord’s empowerment could only take effect in that region.

"Two questions resolved, this indeed is a trap, but I have also destroyed that crystal, the only question is whether that thing can reappear," Li Ming speculated in his mind,

"With my strength, even if it reappears, I can completely repeat today’s process and destroy it again."

"But the Abyss Lord can act on multiple lines, constructing carriers on one side, expanding his activity on the other, but I don’t have the time to entangle with him like this."

The Mechanical Saint God paced slowly outside the boundary, suddenly spoke: "Do you know Tanwus?"

This time, his inquiry was directed at the Dominators present, not the Abyss Lord.

"Tanwus?" Several Eternal Abyss Dominators’ expressions subtly changed. They had executed the task of extinguishing the Evolution Era with Tanwus; of course, they remembered him.

Upon awakening this time, they were a bit puzzled as to why they hadn’t seen Tanwus, but due to past habits, they did not question the Abyss Lord.

"He actually has long since resuscitated." In the depths of Li Ming’s palm, the Doomsday Trident flashed away.

The few Eternal Abyss Dominators immediately recognized this as Tanwus’s weapon and couldn’t help but say sternly: "You killed him?"

"No..." Li Ming shook his head, "He self-destructed, he betrayed the Abyss Lord."

"Betrayed?"

As soon as these words came out, Gendal and others were shocked, and coldly retorted: "Impossible, Tanwus’s loyalty to the Abyss Lord is unshakeable."

In their mindset, any disrespectful behavior towards the Abyss Lord would be dismissed.

"Do you know why he betrayed?" Li Ming was unaffected, speaking leisurely, "Because he saw hope in defeating the Abyss Lord in me."

"Arrogant!"

"Courting death!"

"..."

Cold reproaches rang out one after another, but Li Ming remained indifferent, continuing his narration: "Aren’t you curious why your great master treats me with such caution, even fear?"

"It’s not just due to strength, but because I can absorb the Power of Eternal Abyss."

Absorb the Power of Eternal Abyss?

Multiple Eternal Abyss Dominators were dumbfounded, feeling incredulous.

In their state of mind, they were highly loyal to the Abyss Lord, yet they also had their own thinking ability, naturally understanding what this statement represented.

Instinctively thinking it impossible, but recalling the Abyss Lord’s serious attitude, and during the recent battle, the Abyss Lord did not use Eternal Abyss Power to erode the opponent.

For a moment, they couldn’t help but be dazed.

"Did you think you were certain to win?" The voice of the Abyss Lord came again, seemingly calm yet fiercely suppressed.

The Mechanical Saint God slowly raised his head, his lips slightly curved, "Isn’t that so?"

"Ignorant of life and death!" The Abyss Lord sensed an air of disdain from the opponent, an uncontrollable rage causing the dark tides to boil more fiercely.

And the distinctly defined grey-black boundary line was slowly expanding.

Li Yu’s tone was indifferent: "Abyss Lord, haven’t you ever communicated much with others? Why do you keep repeating the same few sentences?"

"I’m standing right here; if you can kill me, come ahead."

Despite his words, as the black domain expanded, he nonetheless took a leisurely step back.

Neither too long nor short a distance, precisely avoiding the boundary, seemingly cowardly, yet more like a taunt.

"You won’t understand what I truly represent." The Abyss Lord’s anger reached its peak, and from within the black domain, one after another, Abyss Clan emerged, snarling fiercely.

However, unlike the Abyss Clan that appeared before, this time, the Power of Eternal Abyss was attached to each, with bulging muscles and elevated Life Levels, increasingly violent and terrifying.

This enhancement wasn’t a mere buff; even if these Abyss Clan stepped out of the dark domain, the enhancement remained, surging out densely like tides.

Their target wasn’t Li Ming but the outside world.

"Before this Evolution Era, I had never proactively expanded; you are fortunate, this era is fortunate." The Abyss Lord seemed to employ a method of enormous cost, enhancing each Abyss Clan.

The consumption of the Power of Eternal Abyss was likely enormous, and from now on, the expansion of the Abyss Fog would accelerate more rapidly and its activity would increase.

"...Since employing such a method rather than creating a carrier again, the Abyss Lord likely already abandoned the creation..." Li Ming noticed the clue, his dialogue aimed at angering the Abyss Lord to see if something might be revealed under rage.

"Estimating that the black crystal, even for the Abyss Lord, should not be simple."

"Wait for my descent, and you shall experience true fear."

The Abyss Lord continued with trash talk, while a notion flickered in Li Ming’s heart once more, capturing some kind of information again.

"Wait for his descent? In what form? A carrier? Is there a crafted carrier deep in the Eternal Abyss?" Li Ming made a series of guesses in his mind.

With the strength of the Mechanical Saint God, if the Abyss Lord believes fear can be inflicted, his carrier must be of a tier above the Ultimate.

Li Ming’s eyes flashed; perhaps he already grasped the information, saying: "Nice courage, but do you think I’ll give you time?"

Nice courage?

The Abyss Lord heard it, momentarily frozen, then whipped up towering black waves.

Whose villain are we?

However, Li Ming already grasped what he wanted and was uninterested in further disputes, his silhouette flickered and he vanished from the scene.

The Abyss Lord felt his breath choked, the entire domain trembling, while Gendal and others remained silent.

Yet for some reason, recalling the other’s demeanor just now, even with absolute loyalty to the Abyss Lord, a hint of restlessness arose.

"Next, at any cost, invade the universe!"

The voice of the Abyss Lord bore undeniable authority, vast and mighty, with the reinforced Abyss Clan about to surge out again from the Abyss Fog.

This reinforcement would substantially deplete the Power of Eternal Abyss, all derived from devouring Cosmic Energy.

Doing so equated several Evolution Eras’ efforts turning into wasted water.

...

Meanwhile, outside the Abyss Fog.

On the deck of a warship, Costate and others remained awaiting here, with complex expressions of anxiety, unease, and anticipation.

Nearby, the Abyss Fog was still inactive, Reynolds paced back and forth, metal limbs clashing against the deck, echoing with "bang bang" sounds.

He appeared exceptionally agitated, "Why hasn’t there been any movement yet, it’s been almost a month."

"Li Ming should be fine, though the number of Eternal Abyss Dominators is large, they may not necessarily affect him."

"...He’s certainly great at escape, but what if, what if..."

"Reynolds!" Mikhail admonished, unable to bear it anymore, "Can you be quiet."

"Damn, quiet, how am I supposed to be quiet." Reynolds irritatedly said, "All hopes rest on Li Ming alone; what a vast interstellar, not a single one can lend aid."

Costate and others wore expressions of helplessness; this war wasn’t something they could meddle in, everyone was quite powerless.

Even to say, if Li Ming truly died inside, not even a decision-maker was left.

Brief arguments passed, and soon silence reigned over the place.

Until at one moment, a figure abruptly appeared in the void ahead, accompanied by surging energy levels, a brilliant and noble metallic body emerged, wings of light trembling at its back.

Just the dominance naturally emitted made everyone’s breathing stagnate, as if witnessing a Life Form at the pinnacle of evolution, with each cell in their bodies trembling and fearing.

Before everyone could react, the figure ahead suddenly dissembled into three figures.

One was a pure Mechanical Body, a black figure, and the central one marked the signature Mecha of Azure Dragon.
