166: Chapter 166 Is it still necessary to forge a mythical-level mecha?

On Su Yu's side.

Northern Border.

The ruins of the Zhenyuan Great Wall.

The wind had stopped.

The Devilish Qi that had filled the sky had long since dissipated.

Qin Fuhai and Chu Zhan, the two National Guardian Martial Emperors, helped each other as they struggled to climb out of the deep pit.

Survivors of a catastrophe.

The two looked at the shocking wounds on each other's bodies, then looked up at the sky, which had returned to clarity.

It was simply unbelievable.

They had actually survived?

Facing an Abyss Demon God with ten trillion combat power, they had assumed they would surely die today, and that even the entire Great Xia Kingdom would be buried with them.

Yet.

It had just ended like that.

Their gazes fell simultaneously on the thin figure wearing casual clothes in front of them.

Recalling the scenes from just moments ago.

Holding up the Demon God's foot with one hand.

Erasing most of the demonic body with a single spear strike.

And that final "Eight Desolations Annihilation" had even reduced the three Devil Emperors to cosmic dust.

Too strong.

Strong to the point of completely exceeding the limits of their understanding of the Dao of martial arts.

Was that Qi Resonance Spear Intent?

What exactly is the Realm above Martial God?

Qin Fuhai opened his mouth, his Adam's apple bobbing with difficulty.

A thousand words welled up in his heart.

Yet he couldn't say a single word.

In the face of such absolute power that transcended dimensions, any words of praise seemed pale and powerless.

Chu Zhan took a deep breath, dragging his severely injured body, and walked behind Su Yu.

Thump.

He knelt on one knee.

"Su Yu."

"For the grace of saving my life, saying thanks is far too light."

Chu Zhan's voice was hoarse, yet it carried an ironclad resolve.

"From now on, this life of mine, Chu Zhan, belongs to you."

"As long as you say the word, I will not frown even if I have to face a mountain of blades or a sea of fire!"

Qin Fuhai also knelt down.

"Great kindness needs no thanks."

"All the industries, Secret Realms, and resources under my name, Qin Fuhai, will be transferred to your name immediately after we return."

"From now on, the Great Xia military will do its utmost to collect every resource you need!"

"We will exhaust the strength of the entire nation to repay your kindness!"

Facing the kneeling of the two National Guardian Martial Emperors.

Su Yu turned around.

He nodded with a calm expression.

Resources were what he cared about most.

Just then.

Huo Zhenshan rubbed his hands and approached from the side.

His old face was filled with a flattering smile.

"Um..."

"Su Yu."

Huo Zhenshan coughed twice, seeming a bit hesitant to speak.

"Let's settle the accounts."

"As promised, one million trillion dragon coins per Devil Emperor."

"You just casually insta-killed three Devil Emperors, so that's three million trillion."

"As for that Demon God..."

Huo Zhenshan swallowed his saliva and tentatively suggested a number.

"For that Demon God, how about ten million trillion dragon coins, does that work for you?"

"Ten million trillion, plus three million trillion, for a total of thirteen million trillion."

"The military definitely won't shortchange you on this money!"

Speaking of this, Huo Zhenshan's expression suddenly collapsed into a bitter face.

"But..."

"Can we wait a bit?"

"Can we owe it to you for now?"

Huo Zhenshan pointed in the direction of the Great Xia Kingdom behind him, his face full of helplessness.

"The national treasury is really too tight."

"Just to scrape together that one million trillion in cash for you earlier, the entire financial System of the Great Xia Kingdom almost collapsed."

"If we were to forcibly withdraw this thirteen million trillion in funds right now."

"The economy of the Great Xia Kingdom would collapse instantly."

"By then, even the common people wouldn't have money to buy rice or flour."

Listening to Huo Zhenshan's grievances.

Su Yu pondered for a moment.

Indeed.

He knew the foundation of the Great Xia Kingdom; many high-level resources could not be liquidated immediately.

Su Yu nodded.

"It's fine."

"Anyway, the Abyss Demon Race doesn't pose much of a threat anymore."

"Scrape it together slowly; just remember to give it to me when you have the money."

Hearing Su Yu agree to the extension.

Huo Zhenshan felt relieved and let out a long sigh.

"Thank you! Thank you for understanding!"

Su Yu waved his hand.

He turned around, his gaze cast toward the massive spatial rift ahead.

Behind the rift was the Abyss Plane.

"Let's go."

"Let's go into the Abyss and completely wipe out the threat."

Crossing the spatial rift.

Stepping into the Abyss Plane.

What met his eyes was a desolate, dark red land.

Su Yu walked at the very front.

Qin Fuhai, Chu Zhan, and Huo Zhenshan followed closely behind like bodyguards.

With no Demon God or Devil Emperor presiding over it.

This outer area of the Abyss was, for Su Yu, as safe as his own backyard.

Occasionally, a few blind Demon Kings would rush up.

Before they could even get within a hundred meters of Su Yu.

They were directly shredded into a mist of blood by that layer of Formless Spear Intent ripples.

Clearing out the Abyss.

Advancing less than a hundred miles.

Su Yu's footsteps suddenly stopped.

His gaze locked onto a continuous black mountain range ahead.

This wasn't just a mountain.

This was a small meta-magnetic star crystal mineral vein completely exposed on the surface!

The dense energy fluctuations caused the surrounding space to ripple and twist.

Just as Su Yu was staring at this mineral vein.

A long-lost System notification sound suddenly rang in his mind.

[Ding.]

[High-level energy mineral vein discovered, eligible for recycling.]

[System recycling value: One Meteor!]

Su Yu was stunned.

One Meteor?

What kind of unit is this?

He immediately asked the System in his mind.

"How much is One Meteor worth?"

The System's voice rang out without emotion.

[One Meteor is equivalent to ten million trillion dragon coins.]

That was enough to Cultivate one hundred drops of source blood in the Deduction Space!

Su Yu's breathing hitched slightly.

Resources for one hundred drops of source blood!

Ten million trillion!

He had previously spent one million trillion and sat in the Deduction Space for one million trillion years just to condense ten drops of source blood.

Now, just a tiny mineral vein.

Could directly be exchanged for a recharge amount of ten million trillion!

Su Yu couldn't help but feel expectant; if even the smallest mineral vein was this valuable, how much would a super-large one be worth?!

Then, Su Yu naturally thought of this new unit of measurement for the System.

Using "Meteor" as a unit.

Does that mean the next ones are Planet, Star?

Or rather.

Does this value correspond to a meteor within a galaxy?

Damn.

Devouring the Starry Sky??

Su Yu muttered in his heart.

This System, perhaps it will be able to recycle an entire galaxy in the future?

After a moment of silence.

Su Yu didn't hesitate at all.

"Recharge."

[Ding.]

[Recharge successful.]

[Mineral vein recycled.]

[Current balance increased: One Meteor (ten million trillion).]

Boom—!

The moment the System notification sound ended.

The massive, continuous mineral vein ahead vanished into thin air amidst a strange spatial distortion!

Not even a scrap was left behind.

In its place, only a bottomless, massive trench remained.

Looking at the vanished mineral vein, Su Yu didn't immediately spend the money to condense source blood.

"I'll save it for now."

Su Yu cast his gaze deeper into the Abyss, a flash of heat in his eyes.

Since he was already here, he might as well sweep through the area again to see if there were any other high-level resources.

He planned to save up a bit more, so he could spend it all on Deduction at once and do something big!

Meanwhile.

Great Xia Kingdom.

Huo Zhenshan had already sent out the surveillance footage from earlier before entering the Abyss.

Not only to the supreme commander of the military.

But also simultaneously to the principals of all the top martial arts universities in the Great Xia Kingdom.

In the footage.

It clearly recorded the two Martial Gods, Qin Fuhai and Chu Zhan, being ruthlessly suppressed by the Demon God.

And the entire shocking process of Su Yu wiping out three Devil Emperors and one Demon God with a single spear strike!

Capital Martial Arts University.

Vice Principal's office.

Vice Principal Nie Changkong and Master Zong Yan were sitting in front of the screen.

Both of them were completely numb.

Playing that video over and over again.

Watching the thin youth in the video slaughtering enemies like a god.

Master Zong Yan had his hands buried in his hair, messing up what little hair he had left.

His eyes were vacant, and he kept muttering to himself.

"The Abyss monsters are all gone..."

"The Demon God was insta-killed with a single spear strike..."

Master Zong Yan raised his head, looking at Vice Principal Nie Changkong with a face full of existential doubt.

"Old Nie, tell me."

"Is there still any need for this old man to refine a Mythical Rank mecha?"

"Even if I refine it, can it withstand a single strike from him?"

Vice Principal Nie Changkong slumped in his chair and gave a bitter laugh.

"I don't know."

"I only know that this time, our Capital Martial Arts University has enshrined a true Buddha."
