232: Mechanical Demon

“Host, yes.”

“Confirmed this is an invasion by an alien Heavenly Demon! This is a highly mutated ‘Mech-Demon’ that has abandoned traditional biological forms and fully embraced the path of mechanical Ascension!”

“They do not develop technology; instead, they view captured beings, plundered resources, and even the entire environment as ‘Materials’ to construct this continuously self-replicating and expanding mechanical demon domain!”

“Its ultimate goal is likely consistent with traditional Heavenly Demons — to completely devour the Origin of this world and transform the entire world into a ‘paradise’ of their own form!”

“Mech-Demons… Heavenly Demons that follow the path of mechanical Ascension?”

Lin Chuping chewed on this new term, looking at the boundless, coldly operating mechanical army below, feeling extremely troubled.

“System, stop with these useless explanations. The problem now is, how do we fight this?”

His Heavenly Dao authority was suppressed to its limit here, and the Power Of Faith could not be replenished. Yet, the opponent had almost the entire Demon Abyss as a logistical base, continuously producing mechanical armies!

It felt like an ancient peerless general suddenly thrown into the steel torrent of modern warfare, possessing immense Divine Power and martial arts, but not knowing where to begin.

Shattering one robot with a punch, ten, then a hundred immediately took its place!

Destroying one factory, countless more were still operating in the distance!

It's over, it's over.

“Host, I am honored to inform you that you are the first Host to encounter this kind of Heavenly Demon.”

“No relevant combat records in the database, unable to provide the optimal solution.”

The System’s voice sounded somewhat guilty.

It seemed… it really couldn’t help.

“Useless!”

Lin Chuping couldn’t help but curse under his breath, knowing that he couldn’t rely entirely on the System.

He had inherited the Heavenly Dao’s legacy and all the memories of previous Hosts; everything the System knew, he also knew.

It was just that the memories were vast, and sometimes he didn’t want to search through them.

Facing this entirely new type of enemy, he and the System were on the same starting line — both had zero experience.

While he was thinking, Lin Chuping had already been exposed.

The dense network of firepower almost completely sealed off all his evasion space.

Lin Chuping consumed Power Of Faith, extending a shield that blocked all incoming attacks. The shield flickered violently, and his faith value visibly dropped by a segment.

He couldn't fight head-on!

He had to find a method!

While maintaining the shield with difficulty, Lin Chuping’s mind raced.

His vast memories from both his past and present lives flashed by like a revolving lantern.

The methods of cultivators… their effectiveness against these metal lumps was greatly reduced.

Thunder Dao? Perhaps it could paralyze electronic equipment, but its effect on purely mechanical structures was unknown?

Fire Dao? Melting metal required extremely high temperatures and immense consumption… Sword control techniques? Too inefficient for cutting through them like vegetables… Wait!

His past life!

Movies!

Those bizarre sci-fi movie scenes from his past life, about future mechanical warfare, suddenly became clear in his mind!

Find the core mainframe and destroy it?

Electromagnetic pulse! Or directly invade the network!?

Destroy the energy core?

Thoughts flashed rapidly, then were quickly filtered, rejected, or integrated by him.

Lin Chuping picked and chose, ultimately deciding to try Thunder Punishment first.

After all, this was his specialty.

Mobilizing Heavenly Dao authority to summon thunder was almost an instinct. Perhaps he could try to change the nature of the Thunder Dao, no longer pursuing extreme physical destructive power, but focusing on interference.

No sooner said than done!

Lin Chuping’s eyes narrowed, and while maintaining the shield, he quickly formed hand seals.
