137: Chapter 137 The Ultimate Plan Hidden for Hundreds of Years

"Once we settle the matters in the Number One Battlefield."

Lin Fan looked toward the endless mountain range in the distance.

"We might as well go to the Wanchu Ancient Mine, Undying Mountain, and other Forbidden Life Zones to restock."

"Others fear the Forbidden Zones, but we treat them like our backyard!"

He gripped the ice sword in his hand tightly, the blade emanating an intimidating chill.

"Everything is as Master commands."

Willow God nodded repeatedly.

"Master's divine might is unrivaled; all worlds shall submit!"

Lin Fan laughed heartily, his voice shaking the nine heavens.

"Let's go! To the Number One Battlefield!"

Golden light erupted.

The four of them turned into four dazzling streaks of light, piercing through the clouds and disappearing into the horizon.

The scene shifted.

The Number One Domain King Realm battlefield.

This place had truly become a meat grinder.

The sky had been beaten into a state of chaos, with neither sun nor moon casting light.

spatial rifts were dense, devouring everything around them.

The earth had turned into scorched land, with dark red magma constantly erupting from beneath the ground.

In the very center of the battlefield.

Wu Chongguo gasped for air, his breaths coming in heavy gulps.

He was covered in blood, golden blood continuously dripping from the gaps in his armor.

His only arm tightly gripped his war blade.

The surrounding void had been completely sealed off.

Over a dozen ordinary alien Heavenly Monarchs hovered in all directions.

They each formed hand seals, propping up an immensely huge blood-colored barrier.

This barrier was indestructible, completely sealing off all of Wu Chongguo's escape routes.

And directly in front of Wu Chongguo.

Three terrifying entities, exuding an aura capable of destroying heaven and earth, were looking down at him from above.

Heavenly Wolf Clan Heavenly Monarch!

Rock Puppet Clan Heavenly Monarch!

Rose Ghost Vine Clan Heavenly Monarch!

Three top-tier Heavenly Monarchs joined forces to besiege him!

"Wu Chongguo, give up your struggle."

The Heavenly Wolf Heavenly Monarch licked the blood from his sharp claws, his eyes emitting a bloodthirsty green light.

Relying on the fact that they had over a dozen Heavenly Monarchs suppressing the formation, and that Wu Chongguo was already heavily wounded, he shouted loudly.

"You are already at the end of your tether."

"Today, no one in heaven or on earth can save you!"

The Rock Puppet Heavenly Monarch stood a hundred meters tall.

His entire body was composed of indestructible obsidian, the surface carved with ancient defensive runes.

With every step he took, the earth trembled violently.

"The Human Race's number one Heavenly Monarch?"

The Rock Puppet Heavenly Monarch let out a dull, mocking laugh.

"Nothing more than a cripple with a severed arm!"

The Rose Ghost Vine Heavenly Monarch was a bewitching woman.

Her body was wrapped in thorny blood-colored vines, every thorn stained with deadly poison.

"Giggle, giggle..."

The Rose Heavenly Monarch let out a shrill, coquettish laugh.

"Old man Wu, as long as you kneel down and kowtow right now."

"This monarch can show mercy and consider turning you into flower fertilizer, leaving you with an intact corpse."

Facing the frantic mockery of the three great Heavenly Monarchs.

Facing the tight encirclement of over a dozen ordinary Heavenly Monarchs.

Wu Chongguo did not retreat a single step.

He slowly straightened his back.

"Make me kneel?"

Wu Chongguo laughed wildly.

His laughter shook away the overcast clouds in the sky, causing ripples to appear even in the surrounding blood-colored barrier.

"You bunch of fur-covered and horned beasts, are you worthy?!"

Wu Chongguo grabbed his tattered upper garment.

With a forceful tug.

"Rip!"

The garment tore apart, turning into fluttering strips of cloth.

Revealing his bare upper body.

It was covered in dense scars—knife wounds, sword wounds, claw marks, burn marks—all shocking to the eye.

Wu Chongguo slowly raised the war blade in his hand.

ryūjin jakka!

"All things in the universe, turn to ashes!"

Wu Chongguo let out a violent roar, his voice shaking ten thousand miles.

A terrifying flame that touched the trajectory of the Great Dao erupted from the blade.

These flames appeared in a destructive dark gold color!

Trajectory of the Dao!

The flames expanded madly, greedily devouring the surrounding oxygen.

In the blink of an eye.

A huge fireball condensed and took shape in mid-air.

The terrifying high temperature caused the surrounding space to melt directly, presenting an eerie sense of distortion.

"What?!"

The dozen or so ordinary Heavenly Monarchs on the periphery retreated repeatedly.

They clearly felt the destructive power contained within that fireball; it was an extreme high temperature capable of burning them to ashes.

"Retreat! Quickly retreat!"

The formation of over a dozen Heavenly Monarchs fell into chaos as they retreated frantically.

They dared not let even a fraction of this Dao flame touch them.

"Die for me!!"

Wu Chongguo swung his blade with his single arm, slashing down with all his might.

That dark golden fireball, carrying the might to destroy heaven and earth, smashed fiercely toward the three great Heavenly Monarchs.

The fireball exploded.

An endless sea of fire completely engulfed the three Heavenly Monarchs: Heavenly Wolf, Rock Puppet, and Rose Ghost Vine.

Flames soared into the sky, burning through the eight wildernesses.

The earth for a hundred miles around was burned into a glass-like state.

However.

Wu Chongguo stared at that rolling sea of fire.

He gripped the hilt of his blade tightly.

Something was wrong.

There were no screams.

The three great Heavenly Monarchs had been engulfed head-on by the Dao flames, yet they hadn't even let out a single scream!

The sea of fire rolled violently.

"Giggle, giggle..."

A burst of extremely shrill, mocking laughter suddenly came from the center of the sea of fire.

The figure of the Rose Heavenly Monarch flickered in and out of view within the dark golden flames.

The blood-colored vines on her body were burned charred and broken, but the next second, new vines emerged from within her body.

A strange smile hung on her face.

"Wu Chongguo, your flames are indeed powerful."

The Rose Heavenly Monarch's voice pierced through the sea of fire.

"But do you think, why would we waste time here with you?"

Wu Chongguo frowned.

He gripped ryūjin jakka tightly, the flames on the blade flickering unsteadily.

"You are stalling for time?"

"Smart."

The Rose Heavenly Monarch laughed loudly, her laughter echoing across the battlefield.

"The failure at Xuanwu City was indeed beyond our expectations."

"That kid named Lin Fan is a huge variable."

The Rose Heavenly Monarch spread her arms.

"His appearance forced our great King to prematurely initiate that ultimate plan hidden for hundreds of years!"

Wu Chongguo's hand gripping the blade tightened.

The ultimate plan hidden for hundreds of years?

What exactly are the Ten Thousand Clans plotting?!

The Rose Heavenly Monarch looked at Wu Chongguo.

She spread her arms, welcoming the arrival of something supreme.

She spat out that name.

"Machina."

Just as the Rose Heavenly Monarch uttered the two words "Machina."

The Human Race's number one Heavenly Monarch, Wu Chongguo, had his expression change drastically.

The color drained from his scar-covered face.

Horror surfaced in his eyes.

"Machina..."

Wu Chongguo gritted his teeth.

His single arm gripped ryūjin jakka tightly.

The dark golden flames on the blade fluctuated violently.

Revealing his extreme inner turmoil.

He was all too aware of the terror of such things.

These were once killing machines that made even the Ten Thousand Clans shudder with fear.

No sense of pain.

No fear.

Only absolute, rational killing programs.

"Rumble!"

The earth began to tremble.

The tremors approached rapidly from the far distance.

A thin silver line emerged on the horizon.

The thin line expanded rapidly.

An endless torrent of silver alloy filled everyone's vision.

An army of millions of Machina advanced with uniform, synchronized steps.

Their metal feet stepped onto the scorched earth.

Emitting a teeth-grinding mechanical friction sound.

Their entire bodies were crafted from silver alloy.

They held energy cannons emitting blue light in their hands.

On their backs, they carried high-frequency vibrating alloy long blades.

On their faces was only a single electronic eye emitting red light.

Without any expression.

Just like that, they ruthlessly crushed toward the Human Race's defensive line.
