CHAPTER 1008: CHAPTER 519: ATTACKING FROM THE EAST AND WEST, A BATTLE OF WITS AND COURAGE

As soon as he entered, Li Ming felt something different; the surroundings were gloomy and eerie, with the wind howling.

Amidst the surging mist, he vaguely sensed an ominous chill invading.

Feeling it firsthand made him more aware of the mist’s strange trait, suppressing his life force and external perception.

This space wasn’t very large, but the solidity of the space exceeded imagination. Clenching his fist in the void, Li Ming didn’t even have the confidence to tear the space apart.

After all, it’s an "Arena," naturally expecting some battles. It’s normal for the space to be more solid.

Yet overhead, the void seemed like a shattered dome, with millions of dim blue fissures winding and growing.

The edges shimmered, with liquid stellar matter flowing within, and floating stone slab materials slowly drifted through the fissures, forming a serried "staircase."

Among them, the largest debris was a slender metal fragment, extending countless tiny energy tendrils at the broken section, seemingly trying to mend the nearby space rifts.

Each time it touched a fissure, blue-white arcs burst forth, leaving charred branch-like scorch marks in the void, restoring a bit but quickly being torn again.

Only a small central area still maintained space stability, beyond which lay an unseen darkness, storms raging.

Li Ming had somewhat learned the situation here from the footage captured by cannon fodder earlier.

His gaze fell on the central area, where an endlessly collapsing and then expanding dark purple stellar mass floated, periodically ejecting black substances outward.

These black substances, upon contact with the outside, would disperse into gray particles, merging with the surrounding deficient air, forming the pervasive mist.

Li Ming stared for quite a while before withdrawing his gaze, standing upon mottled stone materials, stamping a foot to stir up a layer of dust.

"This material is quite hard..." Li Ming couldn’t help but be surprised, bending to touch it, but regrettably, it wasn’t metal materials.

"Grinding an iron rod into a needle; under such void storm rampage, no matter how sturdy this space, it will eventually collapse entirely."

The space doorway to the outside was behind, yet Li Ming cautiously moved forward a few steps, vigilant in his heart, eyes fixed on the central purple stellar mass.

The most likely area to hide a Star Beast was only that unknown entity.

Out of caution, the Tank Guard had already emerged, activating the [Guardian Armament] ability, swiftly transforming into the Venerate King Form, gaining half a meter in height, with more mechanical structures upon him.

Now, with the assistance of eight Mechanical Guards, combined with his own strength, the Mechanical Sovereign’s combat level was nearing 1000X.

The power surging through the mechanical body made Li Ming slightly more at ease, carefully advancing towards the central purple stellar mass.

But after a few steps, Li Ming halted, extending a flexible mechanical arm from his forearm to pick up a broken stone slab inscribed with some kind of text from the ground.

The text was in Titan language, but Li Ming had already gathered enough resources from various places, capable of translating 95% of Titan language.

"...3-4-5..."

Just a few brief numbers, Li Ming flipped it over, "Is it a seat number or something?"

He casually placed it aside and continued forward.

This place had long been in ruins, naturally without any barriers, but he walked steadily, proceeding one step at a time.

After more than half an hour, he finally arrived before the central purple stellar mass.

Mechanical pupils contracted, emitting fine rays swiftly sweeping over.

Observing closely, he could discover the stellar mass surface continuously rippling, energy particles surging non-stop, fluctuating like breaths.

"This thing..." Li Ming remained vigilant, raising the Infinite Hammer, attempting to approach the purple stellar mass.

The purple stellar mass seemed to have some kind of adhesive trait; even before truly getting close, fine energy tendrils spread from it, constantly extending over the Infinite Hammer’s surface.

Sha-la-la--

Suddenly, a chain sound faintly echoed from the surrounding void.

Li Ming paused slightly, suddenly turning to look at the surrounding void, metal palms tightly gripping the hammer handle.

The sound emitted by chains drifted, seeming as if a life form covered in shackles roamed in the boundless darkness around, lurking and spying on him.

"Is it the Star Beast?"

Li Ming was on utmost alert, all kinds of equipment on the Mechanical Sovereign’s body had already activated, continuously scanning the surrounding space model.

But the elusive darkness wasn’t just a void storm, it also carried gray particles. The space trait itself shielded various detection waves.

Li Ming could only rely on sonar radar to pinpoint the opponent’s position.

Sha-la-la--

Previously on the left side, now switched to the right side.

"Playing cat and mouse with me?" Li Ming contemplated, like a hunter discovering prey, gradually closing in.

But in the next moment, he suddenly awoke as if struck by thunder, a severe unease rising uncontrollably within his heart.

"Not right!"

His long-standing instinct from battling the Abyss Clan led him to move instantly without any thought.

The upper form of the Mechanical Sovereign twisted, metal spinal cords instantly erupting with strands of energy rings, converging into particle chains, enveloping the massive body of the Mechanical Sovereign.

Six sets of thrusters near the shoulder blades reverse-pulsed blazing black beams, forcibly converting the torsion into tearing space’s terrifying kinetic energy.
