The Legendary Mechanic

by <unknown>

  “Black Star! I will never let you destroy my civilization!”

  The mental shockwave of the roar swept across the battlefield, instantly stirring the emotions of countless people!

  However, right at this moment, an extremely dense aura of blood suddenly erupted in front of him.

  Buzz!

  Before the Ancestral Tree King could react, a cold light suddenly lit up. He felt a huge force coming from his chest. The Emperor Skysplitter Blade flew over and stabbed into his chest.

  The next second, the Ancestral Tree King realized that his arm was firmly locked in place. Not only that, but all the roots that he was using to attack had also stopped moving.

  The light of the magic explosion dissipated, revealing the appearance of the Supreme Celestial Venerable. Han Xiao’s entire body was covered in blood energy, and he grabbed the arm of the Tree God. The mechanical particles formed countless tentacles that extended out from his back, accurately wrapping around the roots of every World Tree. They were joined in midair like bridges.

  The power of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate increased rapidly, and it soon exceeded the second stage liberated Tree God, making it impossible for the Ancestral Tree King to escape.

  “You…”

  The Ancestral Tree King’s eyes widened.

  However, before he could do anything, Han Xiao suddenly smashed his head against him.

  The next moment, the Supreme Heavenly Venerate grabbed the Tree God’s arm and pressed him down. At the same time, he bent his knee and raised his leg, smashing the Tree God’s head with a powerful knee strike, producing a green shockwave. Han Xiao extended his hand and stabbed into the hole on the Tree God’s head, all the way to his chest. He grabbed a bunch of messy roots and pulled them out, tearing out a large number of broken roots.

  If it had been a normal life form, its spine and organs would have been pulled out. Even the Tree God, who had a special body structure, would not have felt good.

  At this time, Han Xiao pulled out the Emperor Skysplitter Blade from the Tree God’s chest. He then used Virtual Creation to create countless huge cannons around the tree god.

  Hong Long LongAfter a round of firing, countless physical bullets of planetary-sized mass blasted the Tree God into smithereens.

  The terrifying kinetic energy pushed the Tree God and sent him flying, creating a blank space on the battlefield. Han Xiao followed closely behind and entered the middle of the third layer of defense.

  Only then did the Ancestral Tree King manage to stop his uncontrolled retreat and teleport to avoid Han Xiao’s pursuit. He jumped a distance away and quickly summoned more World Tree Roots to heal his injuries.

  Seeing this, Han Xiao swung his blade and said casually, “That’s it? Anything else?”

  In terms of the quantity and quality of the attribute enhancement abilities, there were very few people who could beat him. The Tree God had buffed itself twice in a row, and his combat strength had increased by quite a lot, but it was still insufficient in front of him.

  Although he had just stepped into the Transcendent Grade not too long ago, as long as he activated all the bonuses, his combat strength would increase to an astonishing level. Han Xiao was not sure what level he would be at after he unleashed his full strength.

  Hearing this, the Ancestral Tree King became even more agitated. Anger, shock, and unwillingness filled his mind.

  Even after sacrificing two Tree King Crowns and paying such a huge price, his combat capability was still no match for Black Star?!

  The Ancestral Tree King was already caught between a rock and a hard place. To him, a stalemate was meaningless. If he could not kill Black Star, Black Star would be able to make a comeback countless times. There was only one path left, and that was to kill Black Star at all costs.

  Various thoughts flashed through his mind. The Ancestral Tree King looked at the main body of the mother tree with determination.

  Seeing that the Ancestral Tree King did not reply, Han Xiao was about to continue attacking, but at this moment, the World Tree fleet charged toward him as though they were insane.

  “Protect the mother tree!”

  “Go, give the Tree God some time to breathe!”

  “Fight for our homeland!”

  Countless World Tree warriors rushed over to engage in a fierce battle.

  Seeing this, Han Xiao casually attacked, only to see the new troops constantly approaching to replenish those wiped out. Many World Tree soldiers were willing to die, using their lives to form a line of defense to stop him from chasing after the Tree God, just to give the heavily damaged Tree God more time to recover. However, in the face of the absolute difference in strength, the determination to face death was meaningless. No matter how many fleets there were, they would all be destroyed by the psionic waves.

  Countless members of the World Tree Blessed Race swarmed over like moths to a flame, leaving behind a bunch of paralyzed battleship wreckages. There was only dead silence in the ship, as the crew had all died under the psionic waves.

  Han Xiao was hardly obstructed at all. He stepped on the debris of the countless World Tree battleships and pointed at the heavily injured Tree God. The gigantic figure of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate gave off an aura of despair to his enemies.

  Seeing this tragic scene, many players who were fighting were moved.

  “They should be evenly matched, but why do I feel like it’s an adult bullying a child…”

  “Look at Black Star’s style, I’m a little confused. Which one is the real villain boss?”

  “Come on, big brother who plays with tree roots!”

  Amidst the cheers of the players, Han Xiao slammed into the Tree God, who had yet to fully recover, and pushed him as he shot forward.

  The Tree God seemed to have lost its ability to resist and could not stop Han Xiao at all. The two of them surrounded each other and broke through the third and fourth layers of defense. Not long after, they reached the fifth layer of defense. The World Tree’s main body that supported this dimension was now right in front of them.

  The eyes of the Galactic Alliance Army and the World Tree fleet all focused on Black Star. Seeing that Black Star was approaching the World Tree’s main body, everyone’s hearts were in their throats.

  However, right at this moment, the Tree God’s green domain suddenly expanded.

  Buzz!

  The green light exploded and enveloped the two of them. It then shrank into a light spot and disappeared. The two of them were swallowed up and disappeared from the battlefield under the eyes of everyone.

  This scene was out of the Galactic Alliance Army’s expectations. Countless people’s hearts suddenly constricted, and they did not know what had happened.

  At the same time, in the Strategic Command of the Allied Army.

  Simon rushed to the table, his eyes wide with shock.

  “Where’s Black Star? Where the f**k did the two of them go?!!”

  Chapter 1439: Exhausted |

  This was a deep and vast space, like a real universe. The black velvet curtain was decorated with green stars, bright and dazzling

  Suddenly, a green light appeared out of nowhere, spinning and expanding, turning into a wormhole-like vortex and spitting out Han Xiao’s figure.

  Han Xiao quickly stabilized himself and looked around curiously.

  “Where did you bring me?”

  He glanced at the interface, and the combat information showed his current state. He had been ‘swallowed by the Tree God. This universe-like world was the inner space of the Tree God.

  The next moment, Han Xiao immediately felt the repulsion of the entire world. Pressure came from all directions, suppressing his strength. The Void Domain was so compressed that it could only stick to the surface of the body, almost becoming a flat membrane.

  At the same time, Han Xiao also discovered that an unknown corrosive force was continuously reducing his health. It was shown in his status bar as the ‘World Tree’s Digestive
Function’.

  “So, I’ve fallen into the stomach of the World Tree.”

  Han Xiao thought to himself.

  Buzz!

  Right at this moment, the green light in front of Han Xiao’s eyes shrank and condensed into the body of the Tree God. Its injuries had already recovered, and it stood in the distance.

  “Black Star, our battle is not over yet,” the Ancestral Tree King said with a deep voice.

  Han Xiao sized him up and said, “This is your inner space, right? How dare you suck me in? You’re really not afraid of death.”

  Releasing the Inner Spatial Domain did not have any side effects, because it was just a projection of power, just like the descent of a secondary dimension. However, absorbing the enemy into the Inner Spatial Domain was the opposite. This was a dangerous action. If the Inner Spatial Domain was destroyed, the Transcendent would be heavily injured, which was equivalent to exposing their vital points to the enemy.

  However, in the inner space, the enemy’s strength would be greatly suppressed, and the user would receive a higher boost. Therefore, this was a double-edged sword.

  No matter how tanky Han Xiao was, he was not willing to suck any enemy into his body. This would only increase the risk. In his eyes, the Ancestral Tree King was putting everything on the line without thinking. “If you don’t die, the mother tree will never have a day of peace. This will be where you die!”

  The Ancestral Tree King’s tone was fierce, and he attacked without hesitation.

  Countless green lights shot out toward Han Xiao like meteors.

  Seeing this, Han Xiao lifted the Emperor’s Cape, and the thick psionic shield blocked the dense rain of light.

  At the same time, he ordered his mechanical army to open fire, but they did not attack the Tree God. Instead, they exploded in all directions, triggering many energy bombs. Under normal circumstances, attacking the inner space was akin to turning the world upside down in the other party’s body. The damage would be reflected back to the Tree God.

  However, the next moment, something that Han Xiao did not expect happened. The Tree God was not affected at all, and he even gave up all his defenses. His attacks were extremely fierce, as though he was not worried about his internal space being damaged at all.

  Han Xiao was a little surprised. His Void Domain was suppressed, and the Tree God was like a fish in water in his internal space. His strength was decreasing, and he had no choice but to defend.

  “Interesting. Your inner space won’t be damaged?”

  Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and observed the flow of energy while resisting the attacks of the Ancestral Tree King.

  Not long after, Han Xiao’s eyes lit up, and he smiled.

  “I see. I have roughly guessed it. Your inner space is connected to the World Tree and you transferred all the damage, right?”

  The ancestral tree king’s heart tightened, but he did not reply. His attacks became more intense.

  The things that the World Tree devoured formed a ‘Mother Tree World’ within its body. It also had planets and lives, and most of them operated according to the state when they were swallowed. They would not increase or decrease naturally, and it was equivalent to a special ‘gallery’. If the members of the World Tree were not willing to appear in the outside world, they would live in the Mother Tree World. The so-called transformation of the World Tree was like spitting something out from the body into the outside world.

  The Tree God was closely connected to the World Tree’s main body, so there was a connection between its internal space and the mother tree world. Strictly speaking, the internal space of the Tree God was a clone and interlayer of the mother tree world, and the Ancestral Tree King was able to split the damage suffered by the internal space into the mother tree world.

  This way, the World Tree’s main body would suffer some damage, and the Tree God would not be injured and could remain in peak condition… Under normal circumstances, the Ancestral Tree King would not let the World Tree’s main body take this risk, but now, increasing the Tree God’s combat strength was more important, so he could only make a temporary choice.

  Therefore, in order to prevent the World Tree’s main body from suffering any further damage, the Ancestral Tree King chose to end the battle as soon as possible and deal with Han Xiao before he caused even more damage to the internal space!

  Seeing that Han Xiao had discovered his weakness so quickly, the Ancestral Tree King clenched his teeth.

  “Even if I have to gamble our future, I have to kill you!”

  As soon as he said that, the Fortitude Tree King’s crown shattered!

  The powerful Crown Origin Energy surged in, and the power of the Tree God soared once again!

  Intensive mechanical armor rapidly spread across the surface of the Tree God’s body. At the same time, mechanical soldiers shining with green light appeared around the Tree God. This scene was like a Legendary Mechanic activating (Virtual Creation).

  However, the Ancestral Tree King did not stop. He endured the rising pain and directly took over the allocation of ‘King’s Legacy’ from the Mother Tree Will.

  Sacrificing the Tree King Crown was the way to strengthen the Tree God, but it was not the only way. Among the abilities that Han Xiao did not see, there were other ways to strengthen it, and investing more Beyonder’s Vestige was another way.

  If the Beyonder’s Vestige was a ‘firewood’ that could ignite the power of the Tree God, then adding more ‘firewood’ would naturally make the flames burn even stronger.

  After so many years, generations of tree kings had failed to break through to the Transcendent Grade, leaving behind some ‘King’s Legacy’, which were considered strategic resources.

  Initially, he only needed to use one portion to summon the Tree God each time, but the Ancestral Tree King could not be bothered anymore and burned half of the inventory!

  Bang!

  A violent energy tide spread out, and the power level of the Tree God increased steadily. Thick green waves gushed out as if they were going to fill the entire space.

  “Holy, another SEED activation[1] ?”

  Han Xiao gritted his teeth.

  This is too much. Are you a Saiyan… ahh, no, Saiyan Tree ?

  After sacrificing three Crowns and burning half of the Beyonder’s Vestige stock, the Tree God’s combat capability soared to a higher level, and his combat style changed as well. Other than using the strength of the World Tree, the various magic, martial arts, and mechanical systems formed an exquisite combination. One person was like a powerhouse of three different classes, very flashy but also very powerful.

  For a time, the violent attacks penetrated the shield, leaving all kinds of wounds on the body of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate. One device after another was destroyed.

  “I still can’t underestimate this guy. With the World Tree Civilization’s many years of foundation, there’s a lot of room for his combat strength to fluctuate…”

  Han Xiao felt immense pressure from the Ancestral Tree King’s continuous attacks, and he was slightly shocked.

  If he had not sealed the Heart Tree Crown, the complete Tree God might have been able to completely suppress him after receiving so many enhancements.

  However, the current Tree God was in an incomplete state. Its foundation had been weakened, so the SEED activation effect was also reduced, and it could not reach its peak.

  “What a pity. If this is your full strength, the one dying today won’t be me.”

  Han Xiao’s tone became serious.

  Boom!

  Without waiting for the Ancestral Tree King to react, the energy level of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate also increased tremendously. In the blink of an eye, he caught up to the level of the Tree God’s combat strength after the SEED activation!

  All kinds of strange abilities exploded one after another, stopping the attack of the Ancestral Tree King in an instant. Han Xiao immediately took back the initiative and counterattacked, instantly t
urning the situation around.

  The Ancestral Tree King’s eyes widened. “You…”

  “Tsk, do you think that the SEED activation is your patent?”

  Han Xiao narrowed his eyes. A steady stream of new energy entered his body, bringing with it an incomparable sense of power. He almost felt like he could shatter the universe.

  The reason for this instant change was because he had used the Character Summon Cards in his inventory.

  Ever since stepping into the peak Beyond Grade A realm, Han Xiao had not used his Character Summon Cards that much. Because there was no need for that, he had a lot of stock.

  Before this expedition, he had specially used all his blank Character Summon Cards to replicate the abilities of different Beyond Grade As and obtained a large number of resources.

  After finally accumulating a huge amount of wealth, Han Xiao now activated the Character Summon Cards one after another without any heartache. He used whatever he had. He only felt carefree and happy!

  After such a long time of careful planning, he could finally be extravagant!

  Compared to Saint Seiya’s explosion of a little universe, I’m the expert!

  Sensing that Black Star’s strength had caught up once again, the Ancestral Tree King was furious.

  Every time the gap between them opened up, he would eventually catch up. Black Star’s unfathomable trump cards made the already unstable Ancestral Tree King go completely crazy!

  “Black Star!”

  Bang!

  The last Tree King Crown exploded; the Ancestral Tree King decisively sacrificed his own crown!

  He threw all his worries to the back of his mind and poured all the remaining Beyonder’s Vestige into the Tree God’s body.

  He was going to push the power of the Tree God up regardless of the cost!

  His strength increased at an astonishing speed, but at the same time, faint green cracks spread on the surface of the Tree God’s body. The huge burden was already at the limits of the Tree God.

  The Tree God had its limits, like a container. When the accumulated power exceeded its maximum capacity, it would burst from the inside.
