Vol 7 Chapter 37: The Bastard Profits

The Mechanized Turtle's gaze was sharp as a torch.

It stared fixedly at the One-Eyed King.

To break through to Immortal King, one must eliminate other Immortal Kings.

Moreover, it must be through one's own solid strength.

Otherwise, it would likely be difficult to absorb the other's Heavenly Dao Origin.

The scenario of the clam and snipe fighting while the fisherman benefits definitely doesn't count as elimination through one's own solid strength...

If the One-Eyed King and Creation Immortal Lord fought to mutual destruction, and it took advantage of the situation, even if it won, it would be considered opportunistic.

At that time, when it tried to devour the other's Heavenly Dao Origin, it would definitely face strong rejection, and the probability of becoming a king would be very low.

But!

Its situation was rather special.

It was a mechanized creation - so-called mechanized creations are assembled from various materials and have extremely high adaptability to external forces.

Because when adapting to external forces, it could modify its body in advance or simultaneously, making itself increasingly compatible with the external force, treating the external force as a new mechanical material, thus achieving ultimate perfect coexistence.

Therefore...

The Mechanized Turtle looked at the massive resources stored within its body...

If the One-Eyed King died, then his Heavenly Dao Origin should be possible to strip away and devour.

If Creation Immortal King died, that Inheritance Dao Fruit he prepared for his new body - the soul usurpation power within it would be completely exhausted. If the inheritance power wasn't damaged, it should also be devourable.

If both of them ultimately died, that would be two sources of power.

But, with its computational power, it probably couldn't simultaneously devour the power of two Immortal Kings. It needed to modify its body during this process to make itself more suitable for their power. The safest and most reliable approach would be to choose only one source of power.

"Compared to Creation Immortal King's power, the One-Eyed King Mo Yuan seems more suitable for me."

In the Mechanized Turtle's mind, it quickly analyzed Mo Yuan's information.

Descendant of the Demon Lord.

Innate Royal Demon Bloodline.

Primarily cultivates the Abyssal Demon Physique.

This Abyssal Demon Physique is a physique at the immortal physique level.

It belongs to the Abyssal Demon Race.

However, though both are demon races, the Abyssal Demon Race was exterminated by the Heavenly Demons.

After being exterminated, the Heavenly Demons who possessed soul usurpation abilities naturally wouldn't let go of their physiques.

The power of this demon physique belongs to the spatial category, with an inherent abyssal space within the body.

This abyssal space functions for sealing - its sealing power is unparalleled in the Immortal Realm. Once trapped, one can never escape for eternity.

The reason Mo Yuan is one-eyed is because when he usurped the Abyssal Demon Physique, the physique counterattacked, permanently sealing the light from one of his eyes.

Overall, this Mo Yuan is a demonic Immortal King who primarily cultivates spatial and sealing paths.

This is relatively compatible with its own attributes, and modifying itself wouldn't require drastic changes.

In comparison, the power of creation isn't very suitable for it, being more appropriate for a beast tamer like its master.

"Let's see the situation. If the Creation Dao Fruit can still be preserved, then seal it and take it away to give to the master. As for how to devour it, that's his own business."

"This Mo Yuan's Dao Fruit, I'll take it!"

"Today, this turtle must succeed!" Its gaze finally fell upon a demon dragon that had followed Mo Yuan as a mount.

This demon dragon also had cultivation at the Ninth Heaven Immortal Lord realm, with inherent demon race bloodline. It needed to find a way to eliminate it first.

After who knows how long, accompanied by loud laughter, the movements of Mo Yuan and Creation Immortal King, who were opposing each other within the same body, suddenly diminished considerably.

Pfft.

After spitting a mouthful of black demon blood, Mo Yuan laughed heartily, his face pale as he said: "What a pity, what a pity, you old relic. You didn't know that the Demon Lord Majesty has already improved demon race cultivation methods. For fellow clan members to attempt mutual soul usurpation, the difficulty is comparable to climbing to heaven."

"Your personal fortune power, this king will completely devour it next!"

"Dao Fruit, seal!!!"

Watching as the dwindling Heaven's Mandate personal fortune gathered on the Dao Fruit gradually dissipated due to the failed soul usurpation attempt on him, Mo Yuan took a deep breath, then excitedly sealed it.

"Although it contains soul usurpation power, this Creation Dao Fruit is genuine, after all prepared by him for a new body, to regain previous power after soul usurpation. It seems this will benefit me instead."

"Although I can't use it myself, it can be used to cultivate subordinates. Things like Dao Fruits are most suitable for our Heavenly Demon Race."

He only needed to have a demon subordinate usurp a Creation Immortal Physique to have a high success rate of receiving this Dao Fruit.

Even if unable to fully receive it, cultivating a top-tier Immortal Lord wouldn't be problematic.

Mo Yuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

It's over!

Seeing it end so quickly, with Mo Yuan apparently not severely injured, the Mechanized Turtle thought "this is bad," but there was no time for hesitation - just attack him!

"Who!?!"

As a formidable power emerged, the One-Eyed King became extremely vigilant, then saw a black turtle carrying two artillery platforms suddenly descend.

"What is this thing."

Completely unaware of where this Ninth Heaven Immortal Lord realm mechanical turtle came from...

A guardian mechanized beast of the Immortal King ruins?

Before the One-Eyed King could think deeply, the power he had sensed finally manifested.

As the two artillery platforms on the turtle's back gathered white holy light, the One-Eyed King was greatly shocked. Even though he was a full major realm higher than the mechanical turtle, he still felt a lethal crisis.

"Laser Holy Cannon!!!" the Mechanized Turtle roared. While on Earth, they hadn't been wasting time - they had been continuously practicing with the demon race as imaginary enemies. If it were an Immortal King from another race, even if injured, the Mechanized Turtle wouldn't have much confidence to deal with them. But a demon race Immortal King...

To counter the demon race, they had thoroughly researched the Holy Egg's power. Within the Mechanized Turtle's body was sealed a massive amount of Holy Clan power absorbed from the Holy Egg, reserved for emergencies to use against the demon race.

The Holy Egg possessed ultimate spiritual power - immensely vast, with extremely fast recovery speed, and absurdly high quality that could slightly affect Royal Demon Bloodlines. So the Mechanized Turtle had drawn a great amount at the time - enough to bombard this demon king for hundreds of rounds. Now was precisely the time to use it!

BOOM!!!

The first shot instantly blasted to death the One-Eyed King's mount demon dragon beside him. Also at the Ninth Heaven Immortal Lord realm, the demon dragon with a horrified gaze couldn't withstand a single move before the Mechanized Turtle, instantly killed by the Laser Holy Cannon.

On the other side, the One-Eyed King's condition wasn't actually that good either. Although he had tricked Creation Immortal King due to information disparity, causing his soul usurpation to fail, facing such a soul usurpation trap laid by a Quasi-Emperor over who knows how long, it would be impossible to say he was completely unaffected.

The injuries weren't severe - resting for several months and taking some immortal medicines might allow recovery.

But now...

This turtle gave him no breathing room at all.

Moreover, as a royal-blooded demon, how long had it been since he had felt Holy Clan power sufficient to suppress them? For a moment, he panicked.

"Who are you..."

As the holy light power tore through his bloodline, the One-Eyed King roared angrily, unwilling to believe this was a ruins guardian mechanized beast. If Creation King could control holy power, he would have been at a disadvantage during their earlier confrontation.
