157: Crazy upgrade! Hundred Refinements Divine Machine! Action begins!

The space seemed to freeze for a moment.

"Ding!" The elevator opened.

Jiang Yuan's throat subtly bobbed.

"You, you know?" Ji Feiyue stepped out of the elevator with her long legs and said, "There are two methods. First, obtain the Vatican's national treasure, the 8th ranked relic in the sequence, a Holy Spring that can purify everything. But this is unrealistic and there isn't enough time."

"So only the second method remains: kill the Yin Lord, or actively make Him withdraw the curse residing in the Black Curse."

"Without the curse imposed by the King Realm, the Black Curse wouldn't be much different from a normal plague."

"Rumble." She stopped at the gravity chamber, used her handprint to open the one-meter-thick alloy door, turned around, and stared at Jiang Yuan with her beautiful eyes, saying, "So you understand now? The ones causing the current situation aren't the Church of Suffering, nor the Abyss Believers, but the King Realm existences hidden behind them."

"This is a game between Great Xia's Kings and the Abyss Kings, also involving power struggles at the national level. Whoever loses patience first, loses."

"So in the eyes of these existences, the lives of millions of people are just slightly heavier chips?" Ji Feiyue nodded, "That's right."

She sighed softly again as she spoke.

"Actually, the higher-ups also have their difficulties to consider, but the weak are more deserving of pity. In this world, the weak who lack the power to protect themselves will encounter many hardships and tragedies. They don't even have the right to be angry or speak out, like rootless duckweed, a gust of wind can destroy tens of thousands of families."

"So there's only one thing I should do," Jiang Yuan stopped talking and stepped past her into the gravity chamber. "That is to become stronger."

As long as he became strong enough.

Let alone a King, what if it was a god?

"Bang!" The alloy door heavily closed.

Ji Feiyue sighed softly, "Even if one becomes stronger, how can they change fate?"

"This is their fate, it's already too late..."

...Inside the ten-times gravity chamber.

Jiang Yuan, cultivating the Immortal Body Tempering Method, had his bones crackling all over. The Martial God Clone beside him also had a stooped figure, bearing immense gravity.

The two-hundred-million-valued Purple Light Star God Fruit was swallowed by him in a gulp.

The spiritual Universe expanded with a rumble, spiritual power permanently increased by 300, a tenfold amplification.

Jiang Yuan's spiritual power directly broke through the 20,000 point mark!

He checked his current account again.

After selling most of the fierce beast Materials and equipment.

His current cash balance was as high as 1.6 billion.

His merit points exceeded ten thousand.

Now was the time to spend money.

He logged onto the Star Territory Network.

Eighth-tier Dragon Elephant Treasure Fruit, 67.5 million? Buy!

High-tier potion using Ten Thousand Spirit Ginseng as the main material, can increase blood energy, 59.2 million? Buy!

Red Demon Blood, top-tier body tempering material, 98 million? Buy!

Golden Bone Dragon powder, increases physique and that aspect's ability, 100 million? Buy!

...He swept clean the market of high-tier spirit Materials and potions that could increase blood energy and physique.

His account balance rapidly decreased.

What replaced it was the increasing swelling of power within Jiang Yuan's body, his physique gradually bulging into a sphere.

Under the stacking of the massive medicinal effects and divine nutrients from these high-tier spirit Materials and Advanced potions, the sixth Immortal Cell quickly formed within his body.

Power value broke through twelve thousand points!

Still continuously increasing...

"Not enough." Jiang Yuan thought as he opened the Pharmacist Association chat group.

Crimson Shadow: High price seeking Advanced potions that can increase blood energy and physique.

Replies quickly appeared.

Holy Hand Physician: Three bottles of high-tier Five Revolution Vajra Liquid, 130 million + one Seventh-tier Flame Demon Serpent's heart. No bargaining.

Crimson Shadow: I don't have a Flame Demon Serpent's heart for now, is this acceptable? (Three Underworlds Hellhound's heart)

Holy Luo Guild Guild Leader: Hiss! Three Underworlds Hellhound?! This is rare.

Mo Shangyueying: It's a pity it's only Fifth-tier, otherwise it would be worth a fortune.

Holy Hand Physician: Fine, this one will do. If you get a Flame Demon Serpent's heart later, prioritize selling it to me.

[Holy Hand Physician has initiated a trade, do you accept?]

Jiang Yuan immediately accepted. Three bottles of high-tier Vajra Liquid appeared in his hand, the liquid like flowing gold.

After buying the three bottles of high-tier Vajra Liquid, Jiang Yuan's balance was only over 500 million left.

He spent 400 million to purchase various high-tier fire elemental crystals that could enhance fire attribute talent, increasing the Immortal Phoenix Flame's extreme temperature from fifteen million degrees to twenty-four million degrees.

Remembering that the Mechanical Overlord's talent shouldn't be wasted.

Jiang Yuan then spent all his remaining money and merit points to purchase all kinds of high-tier rare metals and unknown Materials available on the market. He also took out the fierce beast Materials and rare crystals from his warehouse, piling them up into a small mountain several meters high in front of him.

After doing all this.

Jiang Yuan's accumulated balance and merit points were completely zeroed out.

He stretched out his hand, closed his eyes, and activated the Mechanical Overlord's talent.

"Whoosh..." An invisible fluctuation spread, as if a wind carrying the smell of rust blew past.

A brass-colored Domain enveloped the small mountain. All the rare metals and Materials floated up, began to be eroded and assimilated into machinery, and then converged and aggregated towards the center as if alive.

Finally, it turned into a fist-sized brass sphere floating in the air with wings.

[Mechanical. Hundred Refinement Divine Machine]

[Grade]: Epic (Upgradeable).

[Skills]: Invisibility, Transformation, Divine Speed Movement, Data Analysis, Data Intrusion, Rapid Adaptation, Aura Detection, Disintegration Ray, Gravity Control, Self-Repair, Nine-Layered AI Reflection Barrier...

It floated in front of Jiang Yuan and emitted an AI voice. "I am Xiao Hei, hello great Master meow."

The voice and tone it emitted were exactly the same as the little black cat in Jiang Yuan's previous wristwatch, clearly having obtained the relevant AI data through intrusion.

"May I ask if you have any instructions?"

"Turn into a watch."

"Yes."

The brass sphere immediately landed on his wrist, transforming into the shape of a mechanical wristwatch, looking completely ordinary.

In reality, it was an epic-grade mechanical intelligent life form possessing various powerful abilities.

"Two more hours..." Jiang Yuan closed his eyes, no longer distracted, but focused on absorbing the vast medicinal power.

At the same time, using the Supreme Analysis talent, he comprehended the martial arts he had learned so far, attempting to integrate them and form new innate martial arts.

Soon... two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

As the mechanical wristwatch vibrated with a reminder.

Jiang Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, and golden beams shot out from them, directly piercing through the steel wall over ten meters away!

He stood up, his shoulder-length black hair fluttering. Strands of golden light flowed, finally forming a golden halo behind his head. The surrounding air vibrated and hummed, and terrifying Aura spread out in waves like a tide, powerfully impacting the steel wall!

Immortal Cell, the seventh one! Formed!

"Almost time."

The Martial God Clone merged into the shadow.

Jiang Yuan tore open a low-tier teleportation scroll, and his entire person instantly disappeared from the gravity chamber.

The next second.

Wearing black trousers and a white shirt, he appeared by the turbulent Básuō River.

Bei Mingxue and the others had already arrived.

A burly figure with astonishing Aura, clad in flame battle armor, stood with crossed arms in mid-air.

An Eighth-tier Elemental Magician, wearing a black magic robe and holding a staff, stood atop a distant building.

Lu Beili stood by the riverbank, holding his sword with a cold expression.

Qin Nantian, carrying a thunder blade, stood high in the sky against the backdrop of a gloomy sky interwoven with lightning.

On the other side of the Posuo River stood a group of top-tier Prefecture Lords led by Bai Huang.

"Rumble!!" Dazzling lightning streaked across the sky.

The Básuō River, several kilometers long and stretching for hundreds of miles, was like a boiling, roaring yellow Flood Dragon, facing the encirclement and killing by human powerhouses, letting out an earth-shattering roar!

"Begin!" Bei Mingxue said coldly.
