200: Chapter 200 The Reborn Giant Robot

"Mm-hmm, let's head out then!" The Little Demon Fox Emperor said, waking from her meditative rest.

Those in the know understood that using Bloodline Power in front of an expert who was infinitely close to the God of Destruction realm meant being discovered in a matter of minutes.

The trio set off quickly, moving cautiously along the marked route past the icy peaks before them.

"This Ice-Fire Realm... it doesn't seem simple, does it?" Mu Cheng suddenly asked, remembering the name.

Ice was everywhere he looked, but where was the so-called fire?

The Little Demon Fox Emperor replied, "You talk too much nonsense. Just wait and you'll see."

"Mm-hmm, Master, there's a reason this place is called the Ice-Fire Realm," Xiao Yao added with a nod.

Mu Cheng didn't ask further and followed obediently since they were sticking to a planned route.

The journey... was indeed very smooth.

No one knew how much time had passed.

"There's a fortress ahead. Are you ready?" the Little Demon Fox Emperor suddenly spoke.

Just as she said, a fortress appeared ahead. It looked heavily fortified and was forged entirely from black gold iron stone.

"This place... probably isn't simple," Mu Cheng observed, not daring to be careless as he proceeded with caution.

Xiao Yao asked, "Sister Jiu... what should we do next?"

"What else is there to do? This fortress is the only way forward, so of course, we charge through."

The Little Demon Fox Emperor was a woman of few words and decisive action. In the blink of an eye, she was already charging toward the fortress and was immediately met with an attack.

It was a group of robots, about three meters tall, firing blue lasers from the guns in their hands at the Little Demon Fox Emperor.

However, dodging was no trouble at all for the Little Demon Fox Emperor; she looked completely confident.

Sure enough, before long, more and more robot corpses began to pile up on the ground.

"Sister Jiu is so confident; it seems she's dealt with these guys many times before."

"Master, let's join in too!" Xiao Yao said as she jumped into the fray. The two of them fought with fierce intensity.

"These attacks aren't fast, but their destructive power is incredibly high. Their weakness is in the head," Mu Cheng noted after observing for a moment.

He also joined in. These robots were undoubtedly easy pickings and couldn't do anything to the trio.

"These guys... are seriously weak. I thought I could use them for practice," Mu Cheng said, losing interest.

The Little Demon Fox Emperor said, "You'll have plenty of chances to practice later."

As time went on, the robots seemed endless, as if they could never be fully wiped out.

"Sister Jiu... isn't the number a bit much?" Xiao Yao asked, sensing something was wrong.

The Little Demon Fox Emperor replied, "Something is indeed off, but trust me, just keep at it."

Mu Cheng was speechless but had no choice but to keep swinging his black gold spear.

But in the end, a massive surge of robots flooded in as if they cost nothing to produce.

"Something's wrong. How about we fight our way inside?" The more Mu Cheng thought about it, the more suspicious he became, finally speaking up.

The Little Demon Fox Emperor immediately barked back, "Why didn't you say so earlier? What are we waiting for? Charge in!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her figure vanished.

"Master... keep up!" Xiao Yao followed closely behind.

Mu Cheng almost fainted from frustration. How could he get blamed even while doing nothing?

But despite his complaints, he hurriedly followed them and fought his way inside.

Inside the dilapidated palace, it was eerily quiet. Not a single robot was in sight; even the sound of the wind could be heard clearly.

What kind of trick was this? Mu Cheng looked at the scene in a daze and finally asked weakly.

"What do we do now?"

"Let's look for clues first! Since the robots aren't coming in, there's probably a secret hidden here." Even the Little Demon Fox Emperor didn't know what to do.

But they couldn't just stand there, so they began searching the ruined palace.

However, the palace was in tatters. Aside from some black scattered stones, there was nothing special at all.

Xiao Yao said, "Everything looks normal. How strange."

"What else is there to find? It's just a pile of broken rocks. Could there be anything else?" Mu Cheng felt a surge of irritation looking at the two of them.

Everything was visible at a glance, yet they were telling him there was a hidden secret? Was this a joke? He wasn't blind.

"Could it be these stones?" The Little Demon Fox Emperor realized something and quickly picked one up to study it.

As it turned out, she couldn't even lift it.

"There's something happening here. Come take a look," she shouted urgently after finding she couldn't move it.

"Sister Jiu... there's nothing special about this stone."

Xiao Yao had just finished speaking and intended to pick one up casually, but like the Little Demon Fox Emperor, she couldn't budge it at all.

She strained for a long time, but even a stone the size of a fist remained immovable.

"Are you... are you for real? Is this thing really that heavy?"

Mu Cheng picked one up casually. To him... it required no effort at all, and he held it in his hand like a toy.

"It seems the problem lies here. This stone is definitely unusual." The Little Demon Fox Emperor stopped trying to lift the stones.

Xiao Yao also gave up and came to Mu Cheng's side to study the piece in his hand.

"It doesn't look like anything special. Where exactly is the problem?"

"Wait... are you sure you're not joking? These broken stones are so ordinary, yet you really can't lift them?" Mu Cheng asked again.

The Little Demon Fox Emperor was so annoyed she punched him in the head and gave him a harsh scolding.

"What else? Do you think everyone is like you? Got nothing better to do?"

"But this... doesn't seem to have anything special about it either." Mu Cheng also began to study it seriously.

Xiao Yao suggested, "Master, why don't you try using it for forging?"

"It's indeed worth a try," the Little Demon Fox Emperor agreed.

Mu Cheng didn't waste words. To be safe, he first used a Talisman Array to shield the surroundings before injecting Bloodline Power into it.

As the black energy was continuously injected, the black stone indeed reacted. But just as Mu Cheng was about to start forging...

It shattered instantly and vanished without a trace.

"No, this isn't metal at all. What on earth is this?" Mu Cheng tried a few more times, but the result was always the same.

The Little Demon Fox Emperor said, "I'm not too sure either... but since it can absorb Bloodline Power, I think it might be some kind of energy substance."

"That's likely it, but what is it used for?" Xiao Yao was also very puzzled.

Mu Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Whatever, how about I just collect them first? There aren't that many anyway."

"Mm-hmm, these are useless to me, so I'll leave that task to you!" The Little Demon Fox Emperor naturally had no interest.

Mu Cheng, who had previously stored robots, quickly gathered all these special scattered stones into his storage.

As the last stone was stored, the three of them were suddenly surrounded by robots once again.

"What's going on now?" Mu Cheng could hardly believe it.

In the blink of an eye, the situation had completely flipped?

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and fight our way out!" the Little Demon Fox Emperor shouted loudly.

She immediately charged into the robot swarm with her black gold sword, and Xiao Yao followed close behind. These robots weren't particularly fast to begin with.

Before long, the three successfully broke through, but... waiting for them outside was another massive group of robots.

Only these robots weren't black; they were silver-white.

Furthermore, there were eight giant blue robots, standing at least ten meters tall, though they remained motionless in the rear.

"These robots seem to be of a higher level, and those big guys in the back don't look ordinary either." Mu Cheng became cautious.

The Little Demon Fox Emperor remained calm. "Power-type robots. There's nothing to fear; at most, they've reached the Three-Shackles Realm."

She finished speaking and charged straight at the silver-white robots. As if hearing a command, the silver-white robots responded.

Not only did they dodge, but they also quickly surrounded the Little Demon Fox Emperor.

Mu Cheng and Xiao Yao were not spared either, as they were also surrounded by about twenty silver-white robots each.

"It's the same; their weakness is the head."

However, to the Little Demon Fox Emperor, these silver-white robots were child's play. With a flick of her sword, she took them down one by one.

Xiao Yao was doing fine too, mirroring the Little Demon Fox Emperor by taking them out in seconds.

But for Mu Cheng, it wasn't that simple.

"No, these guys are too fast." Within dozens of seconds, Mu Cheng was already struggling to hold his ground.

He couldn't even touch the silver-white robots and was being pummeled by punch after punch. It was incredibly painful.

"This kid... oh well, let him get hit for a bit." The Little Demon Fox Emperor was speechless and didn't go to help.

Xiao Yao shouted even more bluntly, "Master, you're on your own! These guys are perfect for practice."

Practice? This was clearly just getting beaten up!

It wasn't entirely Mu Cheng's fault; being besieged by so many silver-white robots that were also extremely fast was a tall order.

It was already impressive that he hadn't been beaten beyond recognition.

Fortunately, Mu Cheng wasn't stupid. Knowing his current shortcoming was speed, he endured the hits.

He kept trying to dodge. Sure enough... with Mu Cheng's inherent strength, as long as he kept increasing his speed...

He actually managed to start dodging the silver-white robots' attacks.

"I see, dodging isn't that hard after all." Just as he was feeling smug...

He was hit again by a silver-white robot, making him realize that now was not the time for celebration.

As time passed, Mu Cheng finally managed to take down a silver-white robot with a single blow. Once he had the first...

The second was soon taken out in an instant as well.

"The kid learns quite fast, but this doesn't seem like a long-term solution." No matter how strong the Little Demon Fox Emperor was...

Facing so many silver-white robots was still difficult to maintain in the long run.

"Sister Jiu, should we break through?" Xiao Yao suddenly asked loudly.

The Little Demon Fox Emperor thought about it and finally agreed. "Mm-hmm, let's break through together then!"

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get past them first." Mu Cheng also felt his strength flagging.

The only feasible way now was to pass the eight giant blue robots and successfully clear the fortress.

They acted immediately, with the Little Demon Fox Emperor leading the way... charging toward the giant robots.

Xiao Yao and Mu Cheng followed closely behind.

As expected, there were no surprises; the three successfully fought their way to the edge of the silver-white robot swarm.

"What's the situation here? The division is so obvious?" Mu Cheng asked as they finally saw the end.

The Little Demon Fox Emperor explained, "It's hard to say... but it feels like it won't be that simple."

"Hey, Master, Sister Jiu... are those eight big guys just for show?" Xiao Yao was quite speechless.

The Little Demon Fox Emperor pondered. "True... I haven't encountered this situation before. It seems the opponent has made quite a few improvements."

The three put in more effort and soon reached the giant robots. Just as Xiao Yao had predicted...

The silver-white robots stopped approaching, and the eight giant robots moved, surrounding the three in a swaggering manner.

"Are these guys... very powerful?" Mu Cheng had just asked.

The Little Demon Fox Emperor instantly took one down, requiring no effort at all.

"What did you just say? These guys are the same as before—completely fragile."

"Nothing... how about you handle them all, Sister Jiu?" Mu Cheng said, feeling quite embarrassed.

Xiao Yao clearly wanted to back out too. "Then... we'll leave the rest to Sister Jiu!"

"Fine, these guys are a matter of minutes." The Little Demon Fox Emperor quickly finished off all the giant robots.

But something strange happened: the robots were reborn.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, they began to reassemble themselves. Before long, they were back to their original state, looking completely unchanged.

"They can't be killed?" Mu Cheng watched in shock.

The Little Demon Fox Emperor said, "These guys can actually be reborn now. What exactly have they gone through?"

"What do we do now?" Xiao Yao asked, looking completely at a loss.

Mu Cheng had a sudden idea. "How about we just run?"

"No, if these guys aren't destroyed, they'll keep following us. It's very annoying." The Little Demon Fox Emperor was quite certain of this.

After all, she had experienced it herself. Although they weren't these giant robots, she had been hunted for an entire month.

The memory was still vivid to this day.

"Then let's just keep hitting them!" Seeing her say that, Mu Cheng didn't ask for reasons and just went in for the kill.

Fortunately, these giant robots weren't as powerful as imagined.

Eventually, they were taken down by Mu Cheng, with the Little Demon Fox Emperor and Xiao Yao also joining the fight.

But the result was the same: they weren't very strong, but they could be reborn.

Over and over again, they couldn't be permanently dealt with.

"Is there... really no other way?" Xiao Yao asked again.

The Little Demon Fox Emperor said, "There's no way around it; these guys can be reborn... It looks like we must find the reason."

"Um... do you remember last time? Weren't there identical robots? They could also be reborn," Mu Cheng suddenly remembered.

These words instantly enlightened the Little Demon Fox Emperor. "Then what are you waiting for? Quickly, find their cores!"

She began hacking and smashing at the robots that were reassembling at a visible speed.

Mu Cheng and Xiao Yao also joined in. Sure enough, they finally saw the so-called core—it was actually that black scattered stone.

"The black stones really are the energy source." Mu Cheng was instantly astonished.

The Little Demon Fox Emperor quickly reminded him, "Don't just stand there, use your Bloodline Power to destroy it!"

Time was tight and the task was heavy; there was no time for Mu Cheng to try storing them to see the effect.

It was better to just destroy them directly.

Mu Cheng's speed was incredibly fast. He threw out another Talisman Array to mask the aura of his Bloodline Power.

He directly injected Bloodline Power into the black energy stone and successfully destroyed it in a short while.
