Finally, Li Ming completely released the Defense Buff, his suppressed body shook violently, a powerful aura erupted, each Life Transition was like a leap to the heavens.
A mighty surge of energy came crushing down, forming a rolling storm, merging into his body.
And in an instant, that immense energy burst forth from Li Ming’s body, flooding this Starfield like a tide, only returning to tranquility after a long time.
Stretching his limbs, Li Ming felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction, as if his body had been confined in a narrow box for a long time, and was finally able to stretch fully.
He perceived the barriers of space, the obstruction of time, the flow of energy, the workings of the Universe...
The increase in Life Level made his understanding of the cosmic rules ever clearer.
S-level life form, with a natural lifespan exceeding five thousand years.
Taking a deep breath, there’s no air in the Universe, but energy floods in, filling his lungs.
"Magnificent!" Li Ming opened his mouth, soundlessly.
This joy from the depths of his heart made every cell in his body leap with joy.
A new Control Bar unlocked, just enough to slot in the previously removed A-level [Shaking Star Giant Fist], which could at least provide eightfold effective Power Amplification and twentyfold overall Power Amplification.
Raising his fist, he grinned, "Estimating, the regular Energy Level should be 10S, with the added [Super·Charging Strike] hammer, plus the 35% comprehensive data buff now provided by [Mechanical Weapon Release], should strike the strongest burst close to 100X."
"Wow..." Even he felt chills, his strength surged.
Even in regular combat state, half defense, half offense, there’s a 30X regular Energy Level, with the hammer, enough to reach 60X.
Of course, reaching this level of Evolved Body isn’t simple, as the Genetic Seeds used in past evolutions were all top-notch.
Regular Energy Levels close to twice development progress is nearly normal, with Liberation Form, and various weapons available for use.
For Ryan, even though development progress is only about 30%, the regular Energy Level should reach around 60X.
Theoretically, able to compete with him directly.
"But this is just the beginning..." Li Ming’s eyes flashed with excitement: "Ryan..."
Ryan’s current strength, after being strengthened by Alchemy Material, has surely made breakthroughs.
Meeting Ryan now isn’t a wise choice, but this concerns many things, not only does Ryan want to battle, so does he.
To forge a future for the Mechanical Court, with his current strength, he no longer needs to hide while supporting the Mechanical Court.
X-level strength is already regular.
He wants to completely let go, expand incessantly, occupy a large market share, after all, many things still need upgrading.
Tank Guard, Mechanical Guard, each needs ten billion Star Coins, along with various Controlled Objects.
And Ryan, is standing in his way.
"However, an additional layer of protection is needed."
Returning to Flowing Shadow ship, Feder and Robbin sized him up discreetly, hesitated to speak.
"Vermilion Bird, adjust direction, full speed ahead to the Mechanical Court." Li Ming immediately gave the command.
Feder’s heart skipped a beat, unable to contain himself, hurriedly asked: "Lord Azure Dragon, he?"
"Teacher has already finished, let me handle it first." Li Ming stated succinctly.
Feder and Robbin exchanged glances, their hearts stirred, finally about to witness the grace of Lord Azure Dragon.
Ignoring them both, Li Ming returned to the room, opened the Black Hole Network, communicated with a contact using his Azure Dragon identity.
It took a long time to conclude.
He exhaled deeply, then tried, development rate decayed again, the magnitude far exceeded Li Ming’s expectations.
"Estimating, two or three months might not even develop 1%..." He clicked his tongue inwardly.
Almost two months have passed since Ryan’s Descent to the Mechanical Court, the surroundings of the court have greatly changed.
The area was crowded with many Raiders drawn by the commotion, ships’ flickering lights intertwined from a distance.
Additionally, more people piloted ships observing from further away using optical scopes.
The news media had already been stirred, but most were official media, after all, this was the Chaotic Star Gap, where law does not abide.
Many interstellar citizens who wanted to join the commotion were robbed en route, numerous civilizations ordered their citizens not to venture to the Chaotic Star Gap.
The Empire was already on the brink during this period, Prince Ryan’s sudden actions led many to speculate whether it was under Empire’s orders.
Meanwhile, Azure Dragon’s prolonged absence sparked widespread discussion, was it fear, or something else.
"Huh, the Star Gate stopped wide-range transmission, is a large-scale fleet arriving, compressing the Space Channel?"
Onlookers familiar with the Star Gate’s operational principles noticed the continuous flow of smaller ships from the Star Gate suddenly halted, realizing something was amiss.
Many turned their attention, full of anticipation, until they saw a giant dark gold warship, along with Escort Ships slowly emerging from the Star Gate, the front with an energy track extending forward, resembling a blade.
"Golden Hunting Blade, this is an Empire Family warship, Prince Costat is here."
Realizing it’s not Azure Dragon, many felt disappointed, but soon began murmuring.
"Empire arrived only now? This must be to support Prince Ryan, two princes now."
"Empire’s might endures, although the internet clamors on Empire’s decline, meeting face to face still calls for respect, huh..."
