Under the power of Creation Heaven Dao, all materials seemed to self-dismantle and rapidly reshape and combine in a special manner.
Gu Jinlai felt as though he was witnessing a super-sized industrial lathe producing some of the most ordinary machinery imaginable.
In a short while, a Cheng Ying Mecha standing sixty-six meters tall had materialized from nothing right before Gu Jinlai’s eyes.
Gazing at the Cheng Ying Mecha he had created with the power of Creation Heaven Dao, devoid of any spiritual fluctuations, Jiang Yujian turned somewhat apprehensively to Gu Jinlai.
Gu Jinlai directly initiated True Spirit Possession and quickly merged with the Cheng Ying Mecha.
Suddenly, the True Spirit Mecha seemed to "come alive" and started responding to Gu Jinlai’s manipulation through his True Spirit.
"This thing, it can actually move?"
"It seems like some kind of Artifact Control Skill. But the device itself also provides kinetic energy, which seems quite formidable..."
Jiang Yujian and Ye Yan both circled around the Cheng Ying Mecha, sizing it up.
Although this Cheng Ying Mecha was not operated by a True Spirit, but rather a special version designed for Primordial Spirit Cultivators to control with Divine Thought, after an hour, Gu Jinlai had completely adapted to it.
He then smiled and invited the two, "Let’s leave the Grotto Heaven, find a place, and I’ll show you its power."
"That’s precisely what I was thinking."
Jiang Yujian and Ye Yan nodded in agreement.
As Ye Yan opened the Grotto Heaven, Gu Jinlai also activated the Cheng Ying Mecha’s nuclear fusion reactor, which had been improved over several iterations.
Terrible energy was injected into the six engines at the back and the feet. With a burst of blue light, the massive object, sixty-six meters tall and weighing thousands of tons, flew directly out of the Grotto Heaven, soared into the Yunxiao, and, in a fierce acceleration, broke the sound barrier with a deafening roar as it shot towards the end of the sky.
"Wow, it’s got that kind of speed? Now that’s interesting."
Both Jiang Yujian and Ye Yan showed a look of surprise in their eyes as they followed the Cheng Ying Mecha.
As they continued to pursue it, the astonishment in their eyes grew more intense. When they chased it for thousands of li and reached the skies above a vast mountain range, their astonishment turned into disbelief.
"This flying speed... not even a Mahayana Saint can match it! And True Immortals manifesting their immortal bodies aren’t much faster. If it’s just for dealing with Immortals at the Proving Realm, this speed is definitely sufficient."
Exclaimed Jiang Yujian.
"It still falls short; its maneuverability is far inferior to that of Immortals at the Proving Realm. However, considering it has the advantage in straight-line speed, these gaps can be compensated for."
"The defining feature of this kind of War Weapon isn’t solo combat, but group-based concentrated fire advancement, similar to heavy infantry, using attack range and firepower to bombard and destroy opponents with saturation strikes."
Gu Jinlai explained as he said, "Let me show you the weapons of the Cheng Ying Mecha, which can threaten Mahayana Saints—the Laser Cannon, the Electromagnetic Cannon I will not discuss too much, but mainly its nuclear bombs! These bombs come in three sizes: small, large, and destructive, with ranges varying from within a hundred li for short-range, within a thousand li for medium-range, and beyond a thousand li for long-range..."
As he spoke, he chose to deploy a large nuclear bomb at medium-range.
The next moment, there was a burst of bright light.
A projectile over four meters in length was launched at high speed and soared into the sky with a whistling sound.
"It’s a bit slow. If you consider a distance of over a thousand li, Immortals in the Proving Realm could avoid it, not to mention True Immortals with a congealed immortal body, so it’s just for bullying cultivators below the Mahayana level."
Ye Yan quickly commented.
"I know, but what if... I launch eight at once?"
Seven more projectiles followed, launched in quick succession.
These seven nuclear bombs, together with the first one, formed a huge coverage area spanning tens of li.
The eight nuclear bombs, coordinating with their velocities, formed two overlapping squares and detonated simultaneously after traveling six hundred li.
Powerful light comparable to that of a Great Divine Ability User exploded, turning the sky as bright as day.
The same flashing light flickered eight times, transforming tens of li into a hell on earth.
