146: The special "black ball"

The images transmitted back by the space telescope clearly showed that,

although the speed of the enemy reconnaissance fleet was far inferior to that of the mothership, it was still more than ten times faster than Song Xian's Clone.

Zhang Sheng quickly estimated—in less than a day, the two sides would encounter each other head-on!

Zhang Sheng himself remained unmoved, focusing on refining blood essence pills.

He had all the core Materials for refining blood essence pills, such as China's solid origin flower root and the blood of Qi Sea Realm Yao Beasts. When it came to Medicinal Pills that replenished Qi and blood, the more, the better... "I didn't expect that such once tiny and ignorant creatures could master such power!" omega scrutinized the observation data, cold commands echoing in the ship's core,

"It's time for you to witness the true gap!"

Time passed second by second.

One of Song Xian's Clones rushed at the very front, the distance between him and the reconnaissance fleet shortening rapidly.

Just as the distance between the two sides closed to a thousand kilometers, a sudden change occurred!

The warship's cannon muzzle suddenly lit up, and a pale high-energy beam ten meters in diameter instantly tore through the Void Realm, shooting straight at Song Xian's Clone!

"Darn!"

Alarm bells rang out in Song Xian's heart!

Almost at the same instant he sensed the crisis, his figure flashed rapidly, and a layer of invisible Profound Light Shield instantly enveloped his entire body.

Thousands of kilometers away, the main force led by another Clone also immediately tensed up, ready to provide support at any moment.

Boom!

The beam slammed into the Profound Light Shield. It didn't pierce through instantly as Song Xian had expected, but instead continuously consumed the shield's energy through intense friction.

Seizing this gap, Song Xian's Clone did not retreat but instead advanced, shooting toward the lead warship like a streak of light.

Twelve warships were arrayed in front.

The Clone nimbly evaded the subsequent beams.

"Is this all you've got?" the Clone sneered inwardly.

At the same time, his Clone No. 2 decisively raised his hand, signaling the people behind him to stop advancing.

Before Clone No. 1 could scout out the enemy's true strength, he would not rashly lead people into danger.

Six hundred kilometers... five hundred kilometers... two hundred kilometers... one hundred kilometers!

Song Xian's Clone No. 1 approached the flagship at an incredible speed!

The moment his Divine Sense locked onto the warship, dozens of two-meter-long silver moon blades condensed out of thin air, tearing through the air and shooting out as streaks of lethal cold light!

The moon blades seemed endless, being generated and fired continuously, targeting the hundreds-of-meters-long steel behemoth.

The distance was too close, and the warship's main cannon beam finally penetrated the first layer of the Profound Light Shield!

But what greeted it were the second layer, the third layer... Seven layers of Profound Light Shields flowed unceasingly around Song Xian. As one layer shattered, a new one was immediately formed amidst the surging spiritual power!

However, a scene that surprised Song Xian occurred:

Those silver moon blades actually ignored the strange black light on the warship's outer layer and directly hit the hull, leaving shocking cracks!

"This is impossible?!"

Inside the ship's core, "Black Egg" omega, sitting on his throne, suddenly sprang up,

"Shield failure? Why can't it defend against his energy attacks?!"

"Release the humanoid robots!"

The hangar doors swung open, and modular humanoid robots swarmed out.

They were about three meters tall, as smooth as mercury all over, with integrated sensors for heads, a sharp battle blade for one arm, and an energy cannon barrel for the other.

For some reason, the robots it developed actually had a body shape very similar to humans on Earth.

The key was that it had already developed this humanoid machine structure before discovering Earth.

This kind of coincidence was truly unexplainable.

The humanoid form seemed to be a naturally perfect shape!

Facing the mechanical legion, Song Xian showed no fear.

With a slight thought, the newly formed moon blades seemed to have eyes as they accurately attacked every humanoid robot.

The power of these robots' energy cannons was far inferior to the warship's main cannon and could not shake the Profound Light Shield at all.

Under the sharp cutting of the moon blades, they were as fragile as rotten wood and shattered one after another.

Clone No. 1 acted as if he were in an uninhabited land, boldly landing on the flagship's deck!

He raised a Spiritual Artifact greatsword with both hands, the sword light soaring hundreds of meters. Carrying the power to split mountains and seas, he slashed fiercely at the steel fortress beneath his feet!

Sizzle—!

The hundreds-of-meters-long warship was neatly split in two, exposing the precise and complex internal mechanical structure!

All Clones shared consciousness with the main body.

Seeing this, Clone No. 2 immediately led the team forward at speed, preparing to rendezvous.

But in the next second!

Two pure black spheres about five meters in diameter, like deep pupils, flew silently out of the split warship wreckage.

Their surfaces were incredibly smooth and flawless.

The amazingly powerful moon blade strikes only left a few shallow marks on them!

Even more heart-pounding was that the other eleven warships simultaneously released the same black spheres—a total of twenty-four!

A strong sense of unease instantly seized Song Xian!

Clone No. 2 slammed to a halt and led the team to retreat again.

Clone No. 1 felt a lethal threat from those twenty-four black spheres!

"Something like a nuclear explosion? Or a collision?" Song Xian's thoughts raced, and his body instinctively retreated at full speed!

However,

the speed of those twenty-four black spheres was beyond imagination, surrounding him in an instant and completely blocking his retreat!

Song Xian tried to use his Divine Sense to probe their interior, but it was like a stone sinking into the ocean—the material of these black spheres could actually shield Divine Sense!

The black spheres did not explode or collide, but... began to rotate!

The rotation speed soared crazily!

It was so fast that even Song Xian's eyes, which had been Cultivated with the Penetrating Spiritual Eye, could hardly capture their trajectory!

Immediately after, a chaotic and disorderly terrifying gravitational field from all directions suddenly descended!

This force did not destroy the Profound Light Shield but instead frantically tore and twisted both the shield and the person together!

Song Xian immediately mobilized his vast Mental Energy to try and steady himself.

But the direction of the external force changed in an instant, and its intensity was horrifying; the consumption of Mental Energy was like a bursting flood!

Even so, he still could not fully control his body, like a small boat in stormy waves!

Without a doubt, this strange force field was the work of those twenty-four high-speed rotating black spheres!

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Song Xian's Clone No. 2 roared in horror.

Facing such an unknown terrifying weapon, anyone else coming forward would be no different from seeking death.

The Clone made a prompt decision and led more than three hundred vanguard members to retreat toward Earth at full speed!

At this very moment!

The cannon muzzles of the eleven surviving warships lit up simultaneously, and thick white beams of destruction accurately shot into the center of the gravitational field, hitting Clone No. 1, who was firmly imprisoned!

Pfft—!

Even with seven layers of Profound Light Shields protecting him, under the superimposed strangulation of multiple terrifying forces, they were instantly crushed like paper!

Clone No. 2, as well as the main body far away on Earth, simultaneously sensed the complete demise of Clone No. 1!

"Hahahahaha!" Inside the spaceship, omega let out a piercing, human-like wild laugh,

"So that's how it is! The weaknesses of the special life forms on Earth are so obvious! They're so weak! I wasted my time being alarmed!"

The spaceship's engine power instantly soared to its limit, turning into a streak of light and charging straight toward Earth at an unprecedentedly high speed!

On Earth.

Zhang Sheng already knew of the Intelligent Machine's terrifying methods from Song Xian's shared consciousness.

A group of top scientists gathered around, quickly analyzing based on the transmitted combat data:

"Inferring from the performance of the warships and robots, the conventional technological level of the Intelligent Machine has not reached the terrifying level we estimated.

But those black spheres that can create a special force field... preliminary judgment is that they are composed of some kind of substance with an unbelievably high density!"
