51: Chapter 51 Two Thousand Meters Underground
"Boom!"
The dust cleared, revealing a deep, pitch-black underground entrance that exuded the smell of aged metal.
Unlike the simple stone steps above, the passageway here was paved with an unknown type of black mysterious iron.
Each black mysterious iron brick was engraved with dense, micrometer-level Spirit patterns, which pulsed with a faint blue light in the darkness.
This style possessed both the mystery of Cultivation and, due to the overly precise and orderly Spirit patterns, gave one the illusion of being inside a futuristic warship.
"Whoa..."
The three children immediately crowded around, their six large eyes sparkling with excitement.
To them, this wasn't some dangerous, unknown ruin; it was just a new, unexplored, large-scale playground.
"Dachui, the energy fluctuations down here are very unstable."
Su Qianqian glanced at the rather useless detector in her hand, her expression turning serious. "The depth display... shows at least two thousand meters. And the magnetic field here... is very strange."
She touched the black mysterious iron on the wall, a flash of shock appearing in her eyes.
"This material... it's not an alloy, it's high-purity Meteorite Essence! And these glowing lines... they look like circuit boards, but what's flowing through them is a high-concentration flow of Spirit particles!"
"Could this be the legendary Spirit-energy technology? It seems this Cloud Top Master wasn't just a Cultivator, but also a tech-savvy Mohist ahead of his time!"
"Whatever kind of nerd he is, as long as we can get in, it's fine."
Wang Dachui chuckled and jumped down first. His voice echoed from the darkness: "Wife, bring the kids and follow me! We're going on an adventure, not to our deaths, don't be nervous!"
Watching her husband jump down without even activating his Protective Aura, relying solely on his Physical Body to withstand the wind pressure of the high-speed descent, General Leng Feng shook her head helplessly, but a look of calm amusement flashed in her eyes.
In her view, although her husband was usually unserious, these past three months in the Cloud Top Palace had truly been "eaten" out of him.
Although that body didn't have any ability fluctuations, the vitality of his blood was so vigorous that he was practically a Vicious Beast in human skin.
Even she, a half-step Grandmaster, sometimes felt her heart skip a beat when looking at Wang Dachui's monstrous recovery ability.
Although the underground environment was harsh, it probably wasn't enough to hurt that "iron-willed man."
Meanwhile, as he was in freefall, Wang Dachui was happily looking at the System panel that only he could see.
[Host status refreshed!]
[Physique: Perfect Primarch (Tier 2 Unlocked)]
[Ancient Sacred Body Cultivation progress: 15%]
[Current combat power assessment:]
[Attack: Peak A-Rank (Quasi-S-Rank).]
Thanks to his eldest son's crazy growth over the past three months and the nourishment of a large amount of high-level beast meat, the genetic lock that had once locked his strength at the limit of an ordinary person had finally loosened.
He was no longer a weakling who couldn't even truss a chicken; he was now a humanoid tyrannosaurus who could tear apart tigers and leopards and shake mechs with brute force alone.
[Defense/Recovery: Far exceeding SS-Rank (Rule-breaking cheat).] This was his biggest trump card.
As long as he wasn't instantly blasted into slag, whether it was poisonous gas, radiation, or physical damage, in the face of his "Endless Vitality" body, it was just a process that promoted metabolism.
"Hehe, this wave is stable." Wang Dachui felt the wind whistling in his ears; this feeling of controlling power was simply too satisfying.
"Wife thinks I'm showing off, but actually I'm... testing data!"
"Boom!" With a muffled sound, Wang Dachui landed steadily, leaving two shallow pits in the hard black mysterious iron floor, completely unharmed.
Subsequently, General Leng Feng gripped the hilt of the Hanyuan Blade with one hand, while the other hand carried the eldest son, who was still gnawing on a Spirit Stone, and leapt down, her figure as light as a swallow.
Although Su Qianqian was an intelligence-type with a combat power of only 5, she was now the person with the most luxurious equipment in the family.
"Activate Nebula Protection Mode." She pressed a button on her waist.
A faint golden light instantly flowed across her special protective suit. That was the "Absolute Defense" System that The Third, Wang Ling, had specially modified for her because she thought her mother was too fragile, having dismantled two Tier-5 beast cores to create it.
It could not only withstand a hundred-ton impact but also filter out 99.9% of radiation.
Coupled with the fact that she had been eating high-level exotic beast meat as her daily meals for the past few months, Su Qianqian's Physique had actually long been pushed to the strength of a B-Rank Martial Artist, far beyond the category of a weak woman.
She hugged the second and third children tightly, activated the thrusters on the back of her protective suit, and turned into a streak of light, following closely behind.
...
Five hundred meters underground.
This was a long corridor wide enough for two tanks to pass side by side. On both sides of the corridor stood eighteen bronze giant statues, each five meters tall.
These giant statues held giant axes and long halberds, their faces ferocious, and their bodies were covered in complex patterns resembling gears and connecting rods, with faint Spirit light flickering at their joints.
"Beep! Life form intrusion detected!"
"Protector Formation activated! Level: Absolute Kill!"
A stiff, cold wave of Spirit sense, similar to a mechanically synthesized voice, echoed through the corridor.
Immediately after, the sound of gears turning, "click, click, click," rang out. The eighteen bronze giant statues, which had originally been motionless, suddenly had scarlet Spirit fire ignite in their eyes!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Heavy footsteps shook the ground. The eighteen giant statues had come alive!
They raised their bronze weapons, which weighed several tons, and with a whistling wind, formed an airtight killing Formation, crushing towards Wang Dachui's family!
"Careful! This is the Peak combination of Mohist mechanical Puppet arts and Artifact Refining!" Although Su Qianqian had a shield, professional habit made her analyze the data first.
"The power source isn't an electric motor, but a core Formation driven by high-level Spirit Stones! The explosive power is even more terrifying than a hydraulic press! It's equivalent to a heavy truck charging at full speed!"
General Leng Feng's eyes sharpened, the Hanyuan Blade unsheathed by half an inch, and she was preparing to strike.
"Wait!" Wang Dachui suddenly reached out to stop his wife, a look of watching a good show on his face. "Wife, why use a butcher's knife to slaughter a chicken? Leave this kind of rough work to the one responsible for manual labor."
He looked down and patted his eldest son, Wang Zhentian, on the bottom: "Son! See those big guys? They want to hit your dad!"
The eldest son, who was a bit unhappy because he had finished eating his Spirit Stone, suddenly raised his head upon hearing this.
He glanced at the bronze giant statues rushing over aggressively, his little brows furrowed, and he snorted a puff of air from his nose.
"Bad! Hit!"
The little guy threw away the Spirit Stone scraps in his hand and kicked his two short little legs hard against the ground.
"Thump!"
Two large pits were stomped into the ground. His tiny body was like a golden cannonball leaving the chamber; instead of retreating, he advanced, rushing directly towards the Puppet at the front waving a giant axe!
The size contrast was too extreme!
It was like an ant rushing towards an elephant.
However, the scene that happened the next second almost made Su Qianqian's jaw drop to the ground.
"Ha!"
The eldest son let out a milky roar, using absolutely no technique, just a pure, savage, unreasonable punch that smashed fiercely onto the face of the giant axe that was hacking down.
