194: Chapter 194 The ability to see through to the essence

The Soft Water Energy-Discharging Formation had already taken shape.

Dozens of Beast Taming Sect Disciples stood in specific positions, their hand seals changing in rapid succession.

The water and wind type Heaven And Earth Spiritual Essence in the surrounding Void Realm was completely drawn out, transforming into layers of viscous water curtains and dense wind vortexes, weaving into an invisible giant net that firmly trapped the three charging Cyber Iron Guards in the center of the Formation eye.

The terrifying physical kinetic energy of the Golden-Horned Rhinoceros Beast Cyber Iron Guard was like a clay ox entering the sea the moment it touched these layers of muddy water curtains.

Every step the titanium-tungsten alloy armor took forward required resisting thousands of jun of flexible resistance.

The heavy steel soles sank deep into the silt, and despite the deafening roar of the miniature fusion battery within its chest cavity, the charging momentum that could shatter mountains was ultimately forcibly slowed, reduced to a turtle's pace.

The Thunder Cloud Snow Leopard Cyber Iron Guard swung its arm blades frequently, the dark blue electric light tearing through the water curtain.

However, the water flow broke and reformed, and the wind vortexes were endless.

The extremely rigid and masculine power of thunder dissipated everywhere in the conductive swamp, making it difficult to cause substantial, fatal damage to the Formation-casting Disciples in the distance.

The Flame Poison Crocodile King Cyber Iron Guard spewed dark red poisonous fire from its entire body.

When the poisonous fire touched the water waves, it rose into a sky-filling, pungent white smoke, but it was never able to burn through this endless Heaven And Earth water essence.

The armor and kinetic energy that physical creations prided themselves on completely exposed their shortcoming of lacking flexible changes when faced with this kind of flexible Formation in the Cultivation World that purely borrowed the momentum of Heaven And Earth.

Core Disciple Qin Wuyan stood on a jade Flying Sword, hovering in mid-air.

His white robes fluttered, unstained by a speck of dust.

Those eyes, deep as an abyss, quietly looked down at the three steel behemoths struggling in the swamp below, his expression devoid of sorrow or joy.

Ten breaths.

For ten full breaths of time, Core Disciple Qin Wuyan had not unleashed any killing techniques.

He was like an old-school mechanical Grandmaster, dissecting these three creations that defied the common sense of the Cultivation World with a critical eye.

"This is by no means the Legacy of the Qianji Pavilion, nor does it resemble the methods of the Corpse Refining Sect."

Core Disciple Qin Wuyan gently stroked the sound-stabilizing spirit tuning fork in his palm, his tone gentle, as if speaking to himself, and yet also as if guiding the Sect Disciples struggling below, "All Puppets under Heaven require Spirit Stones as their heart, Formation patterns as their meridians, and Divine Sense as their guide.

There is not a trace of Spiritual Essence circulating within these three iron towers.

During their movements, a faint light appears at the joint bearings, and their force is entirely dependent on that exquisitely refined internal mechanism transmission."

His gaze was as sharp as a hawk, precisely capturing the billowing heat waves dissipating from the gaps in the back armor when the Flame Poison Crocodile King Cyber Iron Guard spewed poisonous fire.

"The outer shell is incomparably sturdy; even a Flying Sword can hardly leave a mark.

The internal skeleton is taken from the remains of a peak second-tier or even third-tier Demon King, using the natural spirit-insulating properties of demon bones to immunize against spells.

The ingenuity of the design is truly masterful."

Core Disciple Qin Wuyan clapped his hands in light praise, but his tone suddenly shifted, revealing a biting chill that could dominate life and death, "There is a saying among the mundane: that which is too rigid easily breaks.

For these dead objects that rely purely on mechanical transmission for force and lack any spiritual power protection or nourishment, their internal components must have extremely strict operating limits.

As long as it is a substance that exists in this world, it cannot escape the inherent principles of Heaven And Earth."

His slender fingers tapped lightly in the Void Realm, pointing at the Golden-Horned Rhinoceros Beast Cyber Iron Guard struggling to throw a punch in the swamp.

"Look closely.

Every time this object throws a punch, shockwaves spill out from beneath its armor.

This is the aftermath of the force transmission.

It can withstand external slashing attacks, but it cannot eliminate the wear and tear caused by the friction and collision of its internal components.

The greatest fatal weakness of such pure physical creations lies in resonance."

As this peeling-the-cocoon-to-find-the-truth assessment fell, Core Disciple Qin Wuyan raised his right hand, his fingertips hooked onto the bronze fork tip of the sound-stabilizing spirit tuning fork.

"All things have their sound, and all things have their frequency."

True Essence billowed around Core Disciple Qin Wuyan, and his white robes rose like sails.

He no longer relied on the Flying Sword for support, his figure drifting down like a feather to the edge of the Formation, less than five zhang away from the three Cyber Iron Guards.

On the opposite bank of the dried-up riverbed, Gu Shen stood in the shadows, the Cold Jade Thunder Bone emitting a low, metallic ringing sound beneath his skin.

There was not a trace of fear on his face, his hands hanging naturally, tightly gripping the scabbard of the thunder pattern gold-slaying blade at his waist.

Inside the black iron buckle at his collar, the Crab's stand-alone electronic voice transmitted rapidly, revealing the severity of the data warning.

"My Lord.

The target is conducting acoustic flaw detection on the three Iron Guards using extremely low-frequency sound wave pulses.

The opponent has accurately captured the physical connection frequency between the titanium-tungsten armor and the Xuan Whale skeleton inside the Iron Guards!"

"The sound wave weapon is locking onto the resonance point of the miniature fusion battery's physical explosion-proof shell.

Once the opponent applies an anti-phase mechanical wave of the same frequency, although the external armor may remain intact, the protective shell of the miniature battery inside the Iron Guard's chest cavity will inevitably suffer from metal fatigue, subsequently inducing an uncontrolled nuclear fusion detonation!"

Gu Shen's heart was as clear as a mirror.

This was the terror of the Foundation of a top-tier Sect in the Cultivation World.

Core Disciple Qin Wuyan did not need to understand the scientific terminology of the Wasteland; relying solely on his insights into the Laws of Heaven And Earth and the mutual restraint of material properties, he was able to find the life-gate of the Cyber Iron Guards hidden beneath layers of armor within ten breaths.

The industrial products of the Wasteland fully revealed their disadvantages in the face of such Immortal methods that could see through to the essence.

"Recall."

Gu Shen's lips parted slightly, spitting out a single word of command.

When one cannot overcome the enemy by force, fighting hard only damages one's Foundation.

These three elite Iron Guards, embedded with the remains of third-tier great demons, were extremely expensive to build and must absolutely not be lost in such a meaningless war of attrition.

The order was issued.

The dark red light in the eye sockets of the three Iron Guards struggling in the swamp suddenly extinguished.

The miniature batteries in their chest cavities instantly cut off output, and their massive bodies turned into three streams of light, which were swept away by a wave of Gu Shen's large sleeves and all collected into the stasis space of his Storage Ring.

The heavy sense of oppression instantly vanished from the center of the Formation.

The dozens of Beast Taming Sect Disciples suddenly felt the pressure decrease sharply, and the originally taut water curtain of the Formation, having lost its target, turned into sky-filling water mist and sprinkled onto the riverbed.

The sound wave technique condensed at Core Disciple Qin Wuyan's fingertips stalled in mid-air.

His eyes shifted, his gaze crossing the heavy water mist, locking onto the burly man on the opposite bank from afar.

"Your Excellency is quite decisive.

Knowing that the life-gate of these iron lumps has been seen through, you retracted them without the slightest hesitation."

Core Disciple Qin Wuyan put away the sound-stabilizing spirit tuning fork and reached back to take down a bone zither from his waist, which was archaic in style and carved entirely from white bone.

The moment this zither appeared, the surrounding air felt as heavy as if filled with lead, and the roars of ancient behemoths faintly spilled out from between the strings.

"The small bronze fork just now was merely an ordinary investigative tool.

Since Your Excellency has put away the mechanical Puppet, you must intend to personally experience my methods."

Core Disciple Qin Wuyan held the zither in one hand and gently stroked the white bone strings with the other.

"This zither is named Mountain Shaker, refined from the spine of the previous generation Kui Ox King, matched with earth-vein mysterious tendons.

It specializes in attacking the Physical Body's five viscera, ignoring the Five Elements Protective Aura.

Your Excellency's Qi and blood are as vigorous as a demon's; I wonder if your five viscera and six bowels can withstand this sound of resonance?"

After speaking, Core Disciple Qin Wuyan's finger joints moved slightly.

"Zheng—!"

A sound, extremely low and resembling a dragon turning over in the earth, exploded loudly above the riverbed.

The invisible and intangible sound wave ripples completely abandoned air conduction, directly borrowing the earth's rock layers and the veins of the Void Realm, sweeping towards the place where Gu Shen stood with an irresistible force.

Wherever the sound waves passed, the giant rocks remaining on the riverbed turned into powder from the inside out, and a terrifying deep trench a zhang wide was plowed into the ground.

Unavoidable and impossible to defend against.

Gu Shen watched the invisible killing intent coming like a mountain collapsing and a sea overturning, his feet nailed firmly into the ground.

He did not bring out the Alienated Mysterious Turtle Shield.

When dealing with infrasonic resonance attacks, any rigid physical defense was merely a facade and would instead become an excellent medium for the transmission of the vibration.

"My Lord.

High-risk infrasonic shock arriving immediately.

It is expected to cause devastating damage to your carbon-based organs!"

The Crab's warning sound was already barely audible, completely covered by the terrifying zither sound.

Gu Shen's expression was cold and stern.

Deep within his Dantian Qi Sea, that gray and deep [Nirvana Star Core] welcomed its first extreme operation since its creation.

The deep cyan poisonous evil True Essence no longer spewed outward, but instead contracted madly toward the inside of the Star Core.

The dark blue thunder patterns deep in his bone marrow all lit up, and the Cold Jade Bone emitted a deafening thunderous explosion under extreme pressure.

Gu Shen stood at the core of the storm, taking this heaven-shaking blow capable of shattering metal and stone head-on.
