390: Chapter 390 Tearing apart the liquid metal man, the gear eye in the central control room!

In the silver metal corridor, the smooth, mirror-like walls on both sides were rapidly closing toward the center.

The deafening sound of heavy, thick gears interlocking echoed. Space was being continuously compressed, and the air emitted sharp, whistling shrieks.

Qin Xueji followed closely behind Su Yang, her high heels clicking on the metal floor in a frantic pace. The closing walls on both sides brought immense psychological pressure. Facing this desperate situation where escape seemed impossible, the female CEO's palms were drenched in cold sweat.

Mary hovered in mid-air, her hands pushing forcefully against the metal walls pressing in from both sides.

“Damn it! These iron plates are so heavy!” Mary gritted her silver teeth, her black bat wings flapping desperately behind her. The formidable strength of a Vampire Count was actually unable to stop the walls from closing. Not even a single fingernail mark was left on the metal surface.

Chu Ling stepped forward, her hands forming seals as Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cold Qi gushed out. A thick layer of ethereal blue ice instantly condensed between the two walls, attempting to use the solid ice to prop open the space.

Crack!

The ice layer had just formed when it was directly crushed by the massive force carried by the metal walls. Ice shards flew in all directions.

“Physical strength and Ice Seal are both useless. The interior of the walls is connected to the power hub of the entire underground labyrinth.” Bai Li waved her silk fan, her purple eyes filled with gravity.

Su Yang had his hands tucked into his casual pants pockets, his pace remaining steady without the slightest hint of panic.

“Don't worry about it. Keep walking.” Su Yang's voice was as calm as water.

There were still over thirty meters to the end of the corridor. The walls on both sides had already closed in completely, less than half a foot from everyone's shoulders.

Qin Xueji was so scared that she closed her eyes and pressed herself tightly against Su Yang's back.

Boom!

The metal walls finally slammed shut, colliding heavily against Su Yang.

There was no tragic scene of flesh and blood being crushed.

The deafening sound of twisting metal exploded in the corridor. Sparks flew wildly.

Su Yang didn't even release his protective True Qi. Relying solely on this Pure Yang Physical Body that had undergone a thousand refinements and stepped into the Soul Transformation Stage Middle Stage, he stubbornly withstood the terrifying pressure of the two metal walls.

The walls slammed into Su Yang's shoulders and arms as if they had struck an immovable mountain ten thousand feet high.

Under the powerful resistance of Su Yang's Physical Body, the smooth and flat silver metal directly dented and deformed inward.

Su Yang did not stop and continued to walk forward.

With every step he took, the thick metal walls on both sides were forcibly plowed into a human-shaped passage. The ear-piercing sound of tearing metal made one's scalp tingle. The indestructible labyrinth mechanism was forced into a path of survival by Su Yang using the purest physical violence.

The four women followed behind in the human-shaped passage Su Yang had carved out, completely unharmed.

Mary watched in a daze, her rosy lips hanging wide open. “The boss's body is simply a hundred times harder than refined steel. He's truly a monster.”

They reached the end of the corridor.

Ahead was a triangular silver door. There were no keyholes on the door, only several scanning rays flickering with red light.

Su Yang withdrew his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and punched directly at the center of the triangular door.

Bang!

The door shattered into pieces, and metal fragments flew inward.

Stepping over the debris, Su Yang walked into the room.

The Central Control Room marked on the holographic map was revealed before everyone's eyes.

The room was a massive circle. There were no ancient or old stone carvings or murals around. The walls were entirely made of silver reflective metal panels, full of a high-tech feel. Countless transparent glass pipes crisscrossed along the walls. A pale blue glowing liquid flowed inside the pipes, illuminating the entire space.

In the very center of the room, a liquid metal ball with a diameter of ten meters floated. The surface of the metal ball shimmered like waves, constantly changing shape and emitting very powerful spatial fluctuations.

“Intruder detection complete. Initiating final defense program.”

An emotionless synthetic mechanical voice abruptly rang out within the circular room.

As soon as the voice fell.

The metal plates on the room's floor lit up with a blinding blue light.

Gravity instantly surged!

One thousand times gravity!

Qin Xueji let out a cry of alarm, her body completely out of control as she was pressed directly onto the metal floor by the terrifying gravity. It was as if dozens of great mountains were pressing on her back simultaneously; even moving a finger was extremely difficult.

Mary, who had been hanging in mid-air, was like a bird with broken wings, crashing heavily to the ground. Her black bat wings were pinned tightly to the floor, and her voluptuous body was pressed down, unable to move.

“So heavy! My bones are going to break!” Mary gritted her silver teeth and spoke with difficulty.

Bai Li and Chu Ling reacted quickly. Bai Li's nine fox tails instantly spread out, transforming into a purple demonic power shield to forcibly resist the surging gravity. Chu Ling's entire body radiated ethereal blue cold qi, her legs like roots planted into the ground as she barely maintained her stance, though her face turned quite pale.

Under a thousand-fold Gravity Domain, even Soul Transformation Stage Cultivators would find it difficult to move an inch.

Standing in the center of the gravity field, Su Yang's posture remained upright; he didn't even bend his waist.

“Playing with gravity? This is a bit lackluster.”

Su Yang raised his right foot and stomped heavily against the glowing metal floor.

Boom!

A domineering and peerless Pure Yang True Qi surged into the ground from the sole of his foot. The incredibly hard metal floor instantly exploded. The gravity generation device hidden below was directly vibrated into powder by this violent force.

The blue light extinguished. The thousand-fold gravity was instantly lifted.

Qin Xueji gasped for air, using her hands to push herself off the ground. The clothes on her back were completely soaked with cold sweat.

Mary rubbed her sore shoulder, staring at the central liquid metal ball with a face full of anger.

With the mechanism destroyed, the synthetic mechanical voice rang out again.

“Physical elimination program initiated.”

The liquid metal ball floating in mid-air suddenly boiled violently. Large patches of silver liquid peeled off from the sphere and dripped onto the floor.

These silver liquids rapidly writhed and deformed, transforming in the blink of an eye into dozens of two-meter-tall silver humanoid monsters.

The monsters had no facial features, and their hands had turned into sharp, slender silver blades. Their bodies radiated the pressure of the Nascent Soul Stage Great Perfection.

The dozens of liquid metal men moved in perfect unison, their legs bending as they launched themselves like artillery shells. Sharp blades slashed toward Su Yang's group of five from all directions. Their speed was so fast that only a series of silver afterimages could be seen.

“Chu Ling, move!” Mary shouted.

The two of them turned into two streaks of light, one black and one blue, and took the initiative to meet the attack.

Blood-colored claws grew from Mary's ten fingers as she slashed fiercely at the Liquid Metal Man lunging at her.

Puchi!

The blood claws easily sliced open the metal man's chest. Silver liquid splashed.

But the metal man felt no pain at all. Silver light flashed at the crack in its chest, the liquid quickly undergoing Fusion, and it recovered to its original state in the blink of an eye. The metal man swung its blade arm, slashing directly at Mary's neck.

Mary was startled and quickly flapped her wings to gain height and dodge.

On the other side, Chu Ling's hands formed seals, and Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cold Qi whistled out.

Kaka kaka!

The several metal men rushing over were instantly frozen into silver ice sculptures.

Chu Ling kicked out, and the ice sculptures shattered into silver ice chunks all over the floor.

Just as Chu Ling was about to turn and deal with other enemies, the silver ice chunks on the ground actually turned into spots of silver water droplets, reconverging and transforming back into perfectly intact metal men, continuing their bladed assault.

“Boss, these things can't be killed! As long as a single drop of liquid remains, they can immediately reconstruct!” Chu Ling shouted a warning while dodging the blades.

Physical slashing was ineffective, and the cold qi of the Ice Seal could not stop the reconstruction. These liquid metal men were simply perfect killing machines.

Dozens of metal men attacked tirelessly and frantically, their blade light weaving into a net that forced the two women to retreat repeatedly.

Su Yang stood with his hands in his pockets, quietly watching the silver monsters scurrying all over the hall, a trace of a sneer curling at the corner of his mouth.

“If they can't be cut, then just turn them into dross with electricity.”

Su Yang did not use Pure Yang True Fire. He lightly flipped his right wrist.

A square seal, entirely purple-gold and surrounded by coiled thunder dragon totems, appeared out of thin air in his palm. It was precisely the fully repaired Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Seal.

“Suppress.”

Su Yang tossed the Divine Thunder Seal into the air of the room.

The purple-gold seal expanded against the wind, hovering below the ceiling. The bottom of the seal erupted with ten thousand feet of blinding purple light.

Rumble!

Thousands of purple-blue bolts of lightning, as thick as water buckets, poured down from the bottom of the Divine Thunder Seal like a world-ending meteor storm.

The lightning accurately struck every single Liquid Metal Man.

The pure Nine Heavens Thunder Power specifically countered all precision Formations and metallic materials.

The metal men were struck by the lightning, their bodies twitching violently. The micro-magnetic field Formations inside that controlled reconstruction were instantly paralyzed and short-circuited under the violent lightning bombardment.

Zizizi!

A series of ear-piercing current sounds rang out. Before the dozens of liquid metal men could even reconstruct, they turned into a pile of inert silver scrap iron, collapsing to the ground with billowing black smoke, completely becoming dead objects.

A single move cleared the field.

The lightning dissipated, and the Divine Thunder Seal turned into a streak of light, flying back into Su Yang's hand and disappearing.

Mary landed on the ground and kicked a piece of smoking scrap iron, her face full of relief.

“Keep running then! Let's see how you reconstruct now that you're scrap iron.”

In the center of the room, the floating liquid metal ball had shrunk by half. The synthetic mechanical voice rang out once more.

“Warning. Defense System fully destroyed. Core Hibernation Pod activated.”

The waves on the surface of the liquid metal ball rolled violently. The middle slowly split open toward both sides, revealing the true scene inside.

This was not a simple control core, but a fully transparent hibernation pod.

The hibernation pod was filled with a pale blue nutrient solution. A young man, his body covered in black transparent tubes and wires, was floating quietly in the liquid.

The man had a full head of white hair and skin of a sickly paleness. He wore an ancient azure Daoist robe, a style that was completely out of place with the high-tech room outside.

Several of the thickest tubes were directly connected to the back of the man's head and spine. Clearly, the operation of the entire underground labyrinth relied on this sleeping man to provide computation and energy.

“A living person?” Bai Li stepped forward, doubt flashing in her purple eyes.

Su Yang walked to the front of the hibernation pod, his deep eyes staring at the white-haired man inside.

Just then, the finger of the man in the nutrient solution twitched slightly.

Immediately following that.

The man slowly opened his eyes.

Within the man's eye sockets, there were actually no whites or pupils.

Deep inside the sockets were two rapidly rotating precision brass gears. The sound of the gears turning clearly emanated from the man's eyes.

The red warning lights at the top of the room flashed frantically.
