Chapter 31 The Dark King
One by one, the thunder puppets drew the golden giant swords on their backs. High-level puppets could not only use the release of energy beams as their attack method.
"So you're finally going to fight me in close combat?" A hint of fighting spirit flashed in Lu Xing's eyes. Fighting these puppets in close combat alone posed a far less threat to him than the energy beams.
"Bang!" "Bang!"...
The battle blade, mixed with some G-grade metal, was incredibly sharp. With a single slash, it deeply cut into a quarter of the outer shell made of F9-grade Thundercloud Iron Mother.
"Beep beep!"
A series of electronic sounds rang out, followed by a loud boom as the internal energy core exploded, sending him flying several kilometers away in a massive shockwave.
"This puppet is incredibly advanced!"
Lu Xing steadied himself, but before he could catch his breath, countless puppets wielding giant swords attacked again. Those fighting him in close combat were all F9-level Thunder Puppets, while the E-level ones were harassing him from a distance by releasing energy beams.
Most mechanical golems would be completely destroyed if one-fifth of their energy core was cut in, but this Thunder Golem was clearly specially modified, as it could still activate its self-destruct program even if one-quarter of its energy core was cut in.
"Vulcan Slash!"
Lu Xing used this secret technique again, and a massive amount of world power surged into the battle blade, condensing into a flaming blade phantom that swept towards the puppet.
"Defensive formation, Thunder Shield!" Ka Yulan hurriedly gave the order. If Lu Xing's secret technique were allowed to attack the puppet army, the losses would be devastating.
Instantly, a blue light emanated from the cores of countless mechanical puppets within the area, which then coalesced in the air to form a giant shield.
"Boom!"
The immense energy instantly tore apart the surrounding void. With the protection of the Thunder Shield, the power of the secret technique was weakened by at least 90%.
However, the force of the spilled impact was considerable, enough to destroy the first few hundred thunder puppets.
"Damn it!"
"The mechanical legion will probably lose more than 80% in this battle!" Ka Yulan said angrily.
"Hahahaha, let's fight! Let's fight!" Lu Xing's face was full of madness, and the power of the world in his body surged wildly. He unleashed one powerful secret technique after another. Even if it meant overdrawing his strength, he had to use it. This was a moment of life and death.
Time passed second by second, and the puppet army suffered heavy losses. Of course, Lu Xing's aura also became extremely weak.
Meanwhile, Blazing Star was still being held back by the nine Purple-Gold Battle Kings. Even burning his divine body could only temporarily repel the puppets. As long as the energy core remained intact, the Purple-Gold Shield would not be broken.
"No matter how talented you are, you're still just a World Lord. The power of the world will eventually run out." Ka Yulan looked at the weakened Lu Xing and continued to give the order, "Remote mode, Thunder Slash!"
Of the 100,000 thunder puppets, nearly 20,000 remained despite Lu Xing's best efforts to destroy them.
Lu Xing stood in the void, quietly watching the immense energy continuously gather. He was exhausted, and the only method he could use now was to make the Blazing Star self-destruct.
However, he was unsure whether the self-destruction of the Blazing Star could damage the outer lightning prison. After all, this was a lightning prison spanning hundreds of millions of kilometers. Even if the plant life form was enormous and the self-destruction range was wide, it was not the center of the self-destruction, so the power at the edges was hard to say.
"Boom!"
A blade of light, surrounded by countless bolts of lightning, slashed toward Lu Xing, shattering the void in its wake and creating an oppressive spatial pressure that made escape impossible.
"Go to hell, hahahahahaha!" Ka Yulan's laughter echoed in the control room.
"Whoosh!"
Just at this critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside Lu Xing.
"Phew~ I made it in time." The figure exhaled and then casually waved his hand, unleashing an incomparably powerful immortal divine force that easily shattered the lightning strike.
"Lord Dark King," Lu Xing said respectfully, his heart finally at ease. The Dark King was no ordinary king; he was a peak king who had mastered one of the three major branches of teleportation.
"Hmm." The Dark King nodded slightly. "I said I would help you this time. Do you want me to help you resolve this crisis?"
"Thank you, sir!" Lu Xing nodded.
Thirty years ago, Lu Xing received a distress signal from a human team led by an immortal. Because his detector was of a high level, he detected that there were only three immortal military leaders among the alien race, so he went directly to rescue them.
But the immortal captain gave Lu Xing a huge surprise: his own brother, the Dark King, a super being at the peak of the King-level realm.
At that time, the immortal captain had already sent a virtual universe communication to his brother, understanding how fast the peak speed of teleportation was. He arrived the moment after he was saved, but in any case, Lu Xing saved him first.
In the end, the Dark King agreed to help him once for free within a certain range.
It was only because of the excellent relationship between the brothers that Lu Xing was able to get such a great deal.
That immortal had come to the extraterritorial battlefield on his own. After this incident, the Dark King directly assigned him a soul servant at the peak of the Marquis level to protect him. That person was someone who could absolutely roam freely in most places.
Therefore, such opportunities are almost impossible to replicate.
"Instant... teleportation!"
"Impossible! How could there be such a king on the Ash Continent? He's just like my father." Without the slightest hesitation, Ka Yulan quickly flew towards the Dark King, having previously been restraining the nine Purple-Gold Battle Kings who were holding back the Blazing Star.
He himself piloted the spaceship to escape quickly. He wasn't stupid; being able to teleport in the extraterrestrial battlefield meant he was at least a high-ranking king.
"A mere title of nobility is a high-ranking immortality."
The Dark King's figure flashed by quickly, his movements far superior to Lu Xing's. Each strike he made destroyed the puppet's internal structure.
The Purple Gold Battle Might, which had left Lu Xing helpless, was instantly destroyed.
The next moment, he put it into his world ring, used teleportation, and appeared directly inside Ka Yulan's spaceship.
"Your Excellency, please spare my life! I am willing to give up all my wealth." In this life-or-death moment, he disregarded his pride and knelt down to beg for mercy. He knew that he had no chance of winning against such a being.
"The alien race still wants to beg for mercy!"
With a single punch, the Dark King completely obliterated his divine body. Even a casual strike from a peak-level King could annihilate the divine body of a high-level Marquis.
……
"Master, those puppets are so annoying!" Chixing's main body quickly shrank and merged into Luxing's body.
"It's alright, you've done your best," Lu Xing replied. He hadn't expected that the mechanical immortal would possess such a mechanical puppet that could so effectively suppress plant life.
"Boom!"
The lightning prison, covering hundreds of millions of kilometers, dissipated, and the Dark King reappeared before him in the next instant.
"This time we're even. If you want me to help you again, you'll have to pay at least 100 million Chaos Units." With that, Dark King teleported away.
"One hundred million?"
"It doesn't seem like there are many."
Lu Xing shook his head, took out his spaceship and left. During the battle, he collected a large number of mechanical puppets, estimating that he had at least ten to twenty million Chaos Units.
"This is a warning. Even the Blazing Star is not omnipotent. If it weren't for the Dark King's favor, I'm afraid I would have really perished here." Lu Xing took out a large number of treasures to begin his recovery. He couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't encounter other battles.
"Let's go back to the barracks. I need to sort out the events of this period of fighting."
The spaceship arrived in the void region and then began to accelerate to the speed of light to travel through the dark universe.
Nine months later, Lu Xing returned to Barracks No. 99, where his residence had long been upgraded to a separate island.
"Phew~ We don't have to worry about alien attacks on the barracks anymore." Lu Xing sat down cross-legged, his consciousness connecting to the virtual universe, while Chi Xing began to devour treasures to restore his burning divine body.
