130: Chapter 130 Thousand Machine Annihilation

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

A teeth-grinding corrosive sound echoed densely within the underground basin.

The cyan net woven by thirty-six bronze Formation Flags was becoming dim and thin at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The Golden-Backed Gu King was like a tireless siege machine.

Its massive dark-gold body pressed hard against the net. Its abdominal spiracles continuously sprayed high-concentration green toxic mist.

This was Origin venom sufficient to turn a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator into pus upon contact. The spiritual power chains condensed from pure magic power emitted groans of being overwhelmed under the erosion of the toxic mist, snapping one by one and dissipating into white smoke.

At the center of the Formation.

Wei Lingfeng's face was deathly pale.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, his hands tightly forming a Dharma seal. The Foundation Establishment Stage magic power within his Dantian—just liquefied and not yet fully stabilized—poured into the Formation eye underground like a floodgate opening.

Crack.

The outermost bronze Formation Flag finally could not withstand the dual pressure of the poison gas and the violent force, cracking a fissure an inch deep.

"Pfft!"

Affected by the connection of Qi, Wei Lingfeng spat out a mouthful of blood.

His originally robust Spiritual Pressure instantly declined.

High above, in the shadows of the rock crevices.

The black iron buckle on Gu Shen's collar transmitted an extremely subtle vibration frequency.

"Master. The defense line collapse rate of the high-energy sword-wielding target's Formation structure has reached eighty percent. The physical kinetic energy of that giant creature is still climbing. In ten breaths at most, the defense net will be completely torn apart."

Gu Shen was like a stone statue, his eyes deep as an abyss.

Ten breaths. Wei Lingfeng had been forced into a desperate situation.

"Roar—!"

Below, the Golden-Backed Gu King stopped spraying toxic mist. A cruel, vicious glint flashed in its dark golden compound eyes.

Its massive body suddenly recoiled, the six pairs of blade wings on its back vibrating at high speed, emitting a harsh sonic boom.

Borrowing this terrifying thrust, the Gu King crossed the two serrated forelimbs, each a zhang long, like a giant pair of scissors, and slashed down fiercely toward the weakest point of the Formation!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A series of dense explosions. The twelve bronze Formation Flags blocking the front exploded!

A huge gap was instantly torn in the cyan net. A foul wind rushed in, and the Golden-Backed Gu King's giant maw, filled with tiny sharp teeth, was less than three feet from the top of Wei Lingfeng's head.

At this final half-breath of life and death.

Ferocious killing intent erupted in Wei Lingfeng's eyes.

"Vile creature, do you really think I cannot kill you?!"

His left hand fiercely slapped the Spirit Beast bag at his waist.

Boom!

A burly, silent figure clad in heavy cyan armor smashed heavily in front of Wei Lingfeng like a meteorite!

Master of Qingmu Cliff!

That Foundation Establishment Stage top-grade Puppet that Wei Lingfeng had spent countless efforts to refine using a living person!

As soon as this Puppet appeared, a violent corpse aura, no weaker than the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage, erupted, forcefully pushing back the incoming toxic mist by half a zhang.

"Stop it!" Wei Lingfeng roared.

The Master of Qingmu Cliff had no consciousness, only the instinct for absolute obedience and slaughter.

It did not retreat, but instead directly raised its arms, cast from pure steel, to meet the dark-gold forelimbs slashed down by the Golden-Backed Gu King.

Clang—!!!

A deafening sound of metal clashing echoed through the basin. Airwaves rolled, overturning all the bones within a ten-zhang radius.

The arms of the Master of Qingmu Cliff were stuck fast by the sharp barbs of the Golden-Backed Gu King.

In terms of strength, the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage Puppet was definitely no match for the Foundation Establishment Late Stage Golden-Backed Gu King. The Master of Qingmu Cliff's knees bent, the ground beneath its feet shattered, and half its body was smashed into the bloody mire.

Rip!

The Golden-Backed Gu King's other forelimb made a vicious swipe, directly cutting open the cyan heavy armor on the chest of the Master of Qingmu Cliff, leaving a huge gash deep enough to see bone, from which black corpse blood gushed out.

But, the Puppet knew no pain, no fear.

Its massive body, with a split chest, remained stuck in front of the Golden-Backed Gu King like the sturdiest steel gate, winning the most fatal breathing room for Wei Lingfeng.

Wei Lingfeng did not waste the opportunity bought by a Foundation Establishment Puppet.

He grabbed the broken sword stuck in the ground.

His right index finger fiercely stabbed into his own heart, digging out a mass of dazzling essence blood from his heart. That was the blood of his Foundation Establishment Dao foundation he had just forged!

"Burn my Dao foundation, Qianji Absolute Kill!"

Wei Lingfeng let out a shrill roar, slapping that mass of heart blood onto the black Formation Plate in front of him.

Boom—!!!

A beam of extremely tragic red light, permeated with endless destructive aura, shot up from the Formation Plate.

The remaining twenty-four bronze Formation Flags, after absorbing this red light, instantly changed from the defensive cyan to a bloody scarlet!

Like twenty-four arrows released from strings, the Formation Flags rose from the ground, accompanied by shrill whistling sounds, directly bypassing the Master of Qingmu Cliff in front, and fiercely pierced into the various joints of the Golden-Backed Gu King's massive body!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The dark golden carapace was forcibly pierced, and green insect blood splashed out.

Twenty-four scarlet spiritual power chains tightly locked the Golden-Backed Gu King's six forelimbs and its massive lower abdomen.

"Hiss—!!!"

The excruciating pain sent this vicious insect into complete madness. It struggled wildly, its immense power directly tearing the "Master of Qingmu Cliff" Puppet in front of it into two! Parts and flesh scattered across the sky.

But this was also its final counterattack.

"Cut!"

Taking advantage of the moment the Puppet was destroyed and the Golden-Backed Gu King was restrained by the chains.

Wei Lingfeng's figure was like a bloody shadow off a string, stepping on the scarlet chains and soaring into the sky.

The broken sword in his hand emitted a clear sword hum. All remaining liquid magic power, along with his nearly dried-up Qi and blood, poured into this one sword.

Man and sword as one.

A brilliant cyan sword light instantly lit up under the pitch-black vault.

This sword was fast to the extreme. Accurate to the extreme.

Pfft!

The dull sound of flesh being pierced.

The sword light crushed through the transparent membrane on the surface of the compound eyes, stabbing deeply into the Golden-Backed Gu King's brain marrow. Sticky dark golden juice mixed with gray-white brain matter instantly sprayed out along the blade.

"Roar—!!!"

This was the most shrill, most desperate roar the Golden-Backed Gu King had ever made in its life.

Its eyes were blinded, its brain marrow scrambled. The fatal heavy injury caused this invincible ferocious creature to completely lose its sanity.

Its massive body erupted with terrifying final energy, the blade wings on its back cutting frantically, severing several scarlet chains. Subsequently, like a derailed heavy train, it smashed fiercely into the thick black rock wall at the edge of the basin!

Rumble—!

A large area of rock layers collapsed.

The Golden-Backed Gu King's sharp forelimbs sank deep into the rock. Those bronze Formation Flags still stuck in its body were nailed into the rock wall by this impact. The scarlet chains were completely taut.

This peerless ferocious insect that had dominated the Myriad Insect Tomb was actually nailed to the towering rock wall by its own brute force and Wei Lingfeng's absolute kill Formation!

Its body was still twitching violently, but its life force was rapidly fading along with its scrambled brain marrow.

Bang.

A bloody figure fell from mid-air, smashing heavily into the pile of bones.

Wei Lingfeng.

This Sword Cultivator from the Qianji Pavilion no longer looked human at this moment.

His brocade robe was completely corroded by the poison, and he was covered in wounds. Even more fatal was the aura within his body. That pressure originally belonging to the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage was now like a candle in the wind, weak to the extreme, having completely fallen back to the level of Qi Refining Stage Great Perfection.

All trump cards destroyed, Dao foundation shattered.

"Cough... cough cough..."

Wei Lingfeng struggled to support himself with the half of the broken sword, forcing himself not to fall.

He raised his head, and on his blood-stained face, he pulled out a smile that was extremely tragic yet insane.

He had won.

As long as he got that mass of ten-thousand-year gu king marrow, everything could start over!

Leaning on the broken sword, dragging his twisted left leg, Wei Lingfeng moved step by bloody step toward the massive insect corpse on the rock wall that was gradually stopping its twitching. His gaze was fixed on the mass of crystalline mucus emitting rich life force on the Golden-Backed Gu King's abdomen.

Thirty zhang. Twenty zhang. Ten zhang.

High above, in the shadow of the crevice.

The black iron buckle on the collar transmitted an extremely faint vibration frequency.

"Master. The super heat source's vital signs are rapidly returning to zero. The Foundation Establishment Puppet is completely destroyed. The sword-wielding target's energy is exhausted, and the combat power rating has dropped to the lowest."

Gu Shen did not speak.

He stood up straight from behind the stalactite extremely slowly and silently.

His left hand gripped the hilt of the blade at his waist.

Those eyes, deep as an abyss, were locked onto Wei Lingfeng below.

"Trump cards exhausted. This is your death date."

Under his feet, the shadow shoes flashed with dark light.

Gu Shen's whole person was like a drop of ink merging into the night, silently plummeting from tens of zhang high toward the ground below!
