480: Chapter 480 Kam's Secret Development

"Where is Demon Venerable Huaila?"

"Reporting to Demigod Yutian, Demon Venerable Huaila is critically injured and near death; he has already entered the Demon Refining Pool to heal," the Great Demon King replied with his head bowed.

Demigod Yutian nodded slightly and said no more, handing the metal arm to Demigod Yantian beside him.

"It really is the Mechanical Race?!"

Demigod Yantian whispered, his voice filled with shock and a hint of trepidation.

This faint sense of fear was a stir from deep within his Bloodline.

Demigod Yutian stared at the cold metal arm, the killing intent in his eyes uncontrollable.

"Go down now and tell the clansmen to reduce unnecessary outings."

"Yes, Demigod Yutian."

The Demon Venerables and Great Demon Kings dispersed in a flurry, eager to leave as soon as possible; if they stayed any longer, there was no telling who would be the next to die.

"Go, take us to the place where Demon Venerable Huaila fought."

"Yes."

The Great Demon King was the first to walk out of the hall and soared into the sky.

Inside the hall, the figures of Demigod Yutian and Demigod Yantian vanished.

...

Demon Realm.

Hell was incredibly vast, and the vast majority of it was land, with a very small ocean surface.

The Lion Clan, as the primary group of the Yao Race, occupied the largest and best territory.

Resources of all kinds were available.

This included the Dragon Spine Mountain Range, a vast expanse of peaks that stretched beyond the horizon.

Most importantly, the Dragon Spine Mountain Range contained a giant Coiling Dragon Stone mine; its core area was rich in Coiling Dragon Crystals. Weapons and armor forged from Coiling Dragon Crystals could rival awakening weapons.

Although useless for Yao of the Great Demon King or Demon Venerable level, they were useful for lower-level lesser demons and great demons, increasing their combat power by ten to twenty percent.

Even in ordinary small tribes, the weapons and armor used by Demon Kings were only of this level.

It could be said that the Dragon Spine Mountain Range held strategic significance for the Lion Clan.

Normally, it was guarded by two Demon Venerables, patrolled by several Great Demon Kings, and watched over by some Great Demons, totaling fewer than a hundred.

Do not think the number is small; the fact was that in Lion Clan territory, no one dared to cause trouble.

The Yao Race didn't dare, and the Human Race dared even less.

Swish~

Three figures appeared on a mountainside.

The mountain here was heavily damaged; towering trees hundreds of meters tall lay strewn about, and bloodstains that had not yet dried were visible everywhere.

This indicated that a great battle had taken place here not long ago.

"Is there anything unusual about the Coiling Dragon mine?"

"This..."

The Great Demon King hesitated, not daring to speak.

"Bang!"

"You still dare to hide things?"

The Great Demon King was swatted away, his aura becoming weak.

After stabilizing himself, he struggled to fly back before the two demigods. "Demigod Yutian, Coiling Dragon Stone mines No. 5, 6, and 8 have been hollowed out, and half of the Ore in mine No. 11 is also gone."

Pfft~

With a wave of Demigod Yantian's hand, the Great Demon King's entire body exploded into a mist of blood.

"You bastard!"

Demigod Yantian was furious; the two demigods were well aware that the Demon Venerables and Great Demon Kings under them were lining their own pockets.

They had come up the same way.

However, they also understood sustainable development and never drained the pond to catch the fish. With the Coiling Dragon Stone mines hollowed out, whether it was done by their own clansmen or others, these guarding clansmen deserved to die.

If their own clansmen had done it, with so much Ore missing and three mines hollowed out, these clansmen wouldn't be enough even if they died a hundred times.

If it really was the Mechanical Race's doing and they hadn't reported it until now, indirectly leading to Xun Tian's disappearance, they were even more deserving of death.

"Come, let's go check Coiling Dragon Stone mine No. 11."

Demigod Yutian and Demigod Yantian turned into streaks of light, flying toward Coiling Dragon Stone mine No. 11.

Soon.

The two demigods arrived at their destination.

"What audacity!"

"To see us and still dare to be so brazen—they simply have no respect for our Lion Clan."

Through his Divine Soul perception, Yantian immediately discovered those Mechanical Lifeforms inside the mountain.

"Hah!"

Yantian struck out with a palm.

The massive palm print directly smashed a hundred-meter-wide crack into the mountain.

Then.

He made a grasping motion.

Countless beetle-shaped Mechanical Lifeforms were pulled into the sky by a suction force.

The beetles' abdomens emitted a faint glow, and they varied in size.

Once caught, the beetles seemed to sense danger and immediately turned around, spitting out stones the size of bullets at Demigod Yantian.

"Damn it!"

Demigod Yantian clenched his claw into a fist.

An invisible, massive force acted upon the beetles, instantly crushing their bodies.

Only one was left; Demigod Yutian reached out, and the beetle flew uncontrollably into his hand.

"It is undoubtedly the Mechanical Race."

Yutian narrowed his eyes; as the strongest and longest-living demigod of the Lion Clan, he knew more about those humans and had seen more. This was not a robot, nor a product of technology.

At this moment, Yutian's face was extremely grim, and his heart sank.

Only a member of the Mechanical Race with a mechanical heart could mass-produce Mechanical Lifeforms, and such a being would be at least at the Ninth Realm in strength.

In other words.

Without the Yao Race knowing, a demigod with a mechanical heart had appeared.

Just as the Human Race was against the Yao Race.

At the same level, the Yao Race was at a disadvantage against the Mechanical Race.

"This is a bit troublesome."

Demigod Yutian murmured.

Demigod Yantian's expression was also solemn; he never expected things to develop so suddenly, with the Mechanical Race appearing within Lion Clan borders.

"Let's go back first and gather the other demigods. We must find this Mechanical Race member, or we're finished."

To them, the Mechanical Race was like locusts; if the source wasn't eliminated in time, the Yao Race would likely fall into chaos soon.

When that time comes.

Let alone invading other civilizations, even their own civilization would not escape destruction.

The two demigods turned to return to the Royal City, but their figures stiffened.

Two thousand meters ahead.

A giant stood suspended in the air; it was Cam. Compared to a year ago, Cam's height had reached sixty meters.

His cold metal skin glinted sharply in the sunlight, and his body was powerful and robust, with every inch forged through meticulous calculation.

"Mechanical Race!"

Demigod Yutian shouted coldly, his killing intent undisguised.

"You can call me Cam."

Boom~

Without any nonsense.

Demigod Yutian's figure suddenly moved.

In an instant.

He arrived before Cam and extended a claw, its tips incredibly sharp, making a light swipe.

The space in front was torn open.

Cam's figure shifted, vanishing from the spot and reappearing a thousand meters away. He raised his arm to see three foot-deep wounds healing rapidly; that seemingly casual swipe just now had almost severed his forearm into several pieces.

"His power and speed are comparable to Xiao Weiqing's from a year ago, but this probably isn't his limit yet."

Cam quickly assessed Yutian's strength.
