Rumble!
A horrifying blast burst forth!
Thunderous sound waves boomed like roaring thunder, quaking the skies and ground, shuddering in every direction!
It felt as though endless lightning strikes detonated inside the mountain, with billions of Wanxiang Nine Divine Mechanism Seals igniting at once, the tremors mimicking the shaking of a thunderous pool!
Crack, crack——!!
The ground quaked and the skies trembled!
Mountains and rivers rocked!
The whole Divine Carving Ridge in Golden Light Prefecture shook violently, fissures spreading nonstop, forming a thick web of cracks...
Within the Divine Sculpture Master Workshop at the ridge's base, the frantic master sculptors and Wood Carvers crafting divine sculptures bolted outside in panic, their frames quivering without control, overcome by dread.
Glancing back, they stood stunned because...
The mountain had cleaved apart!
That enormous, snow-blanketed Stone Mountain started fracturing from within, like it had been hacked by a giant axe, forming a massive split.
The fissure ran from the peak straight down to the bottom.
Snow piled up over days cascaded in an avalanche, booming with a world-shaking roar as it tumbled toward the mountain's foot!
But a savage gust blasted from the torn mountain interior, resembling a whirlwind twisting skyward, while the brilliant Blazing Blood Radiance gleamed like a volcano's fiery glory, radiating without end.
It pierced directly into the pitch-black, cloud-filled sky overhead!
Shouts of alarm and sheer fright poured from the lips of the numerous master sculptors who fled to the open area, petrified to their bones, having never witnessed such a sight, clueless about what had occurred?
Raising their eyes, they beheld the skies churning with ominous clouds, packed with lightning twisting like dragons and snakes, fury sweeping the firmament!
Boom——!!!
Deep inside the fissured Stone Mountain.
A figure burst out in a wretched condition, sturdy and powerful, brimming with unmatched vitality, none other than Tang Sanjia.
At this moment, Tang Sanjia's expression brimmed with thrill, bordering on insanity!
"It worked..."
"Hahaha, it worked!"
"It really worked!"
Tears streamed down Tang Sanjia's face as he reveled in ecstasy, frenzy, and grief...
A whirlwind of feelings flooded his chest.
Boom——!!!
The frightful detonations kept bursting from the Stone Mountain, and then, under the watchful eyes of all, an utterly fearsome humanoid Mechanical Beast emerged, standing a hundred zhang tall, radiating a dreadful aura and might, shattering free from the mountain's core.
As though... it had leaped from the rock!
A monstrous bellow thundered out, and that colossal hundred-zhang humanoid Mechanical Beast soared into the boundless sky, jolting the realm, with ferocious shockwaves clashing, churning the clouds like raging ocean waves, its force world-shaking and completely horrifying!
Across Golden Light Prefecture, from the Divine Sect Branch to the Qintian Observatory, and even the Temple Control Bureau's powerhouses, all detected this disturbance, chills running down their spines as they raced toward the scene.
Nan Lihuo, Zhang Qing Zheng, Zhu Hong Dou, and fellow Divine Sect experts were left in shock.
Having just reached the spot, they sensed the suffocating, fearsome pressure extending over the heavens and earth.
They spotted Tang Sanjia too, perched amid a snow heap the size of an avalanche, laughing wildly, which left them all dumbfounded.
"It worked!"
Tang Sanjia guffawed loudly.
Nan Lihuo, who knew Tang Sanjia best, felt a sudden jolt.
It worked?
What exactly succeeded? That Mechanical Beast...
Nan Lihuo was privy to certain hidden truths, aware that Tang Sanjia concealed a Supreme Mechanical Beast within the mountain...
It stemmed from the Tang Family's inherited mechanisms.
Truth be told, the so-called secret Tang Sanjia believed was his alone, many others had long known, though few could bring that Mechanical Beast to completion.
Not even a prodigy like Tang Sanjia from the Tang Family, who fully embodied their mechanism legacy, had managed it—so how could mere outsiders?
Yet now, with the land quaking and the Stone Mountain crumbling.
It appeared the Mechanical Beast had triumphed!
Nan Lihuo lifted his gaze, staring at the immense, glowing humanoid Mechanical Beast hovering far above in the heavens, its Blazing Blood Radiance beaming intensely.
An immense, terrifying force, poised to engulf the hills and woods, covering the skies and ground.
Nan Lihuo's gaze wavered as he noticed a silhouette on the Mechanical Beast.
A silhouette absent for years, but oddly recognizable.
"Li Che..."
Nan Lihuo's eyes grew faintly teary.
Word of Qianyuan Dao City facing siege from the imperial forces had already spread back, details of the second clash remained unclear, but the initial fight saw Qianyuan claim a magnificent win, even destroying a clone of Ji Moli.
This report moved Nan Lihuo to the verge of tears.
The grudge from the city's slaughter felt somewhat eased by this tidings.
Moreover, updates on Li Che and Xi Xi's rising roles in Qianyuan Dao City had reached Nan Lihuo via Supervisor Hu Yingyue's communications with the Dao City Imperial Heavenly Observatory.
Recalling that young girl from before, a spark of pride lit in Nan Lihuo's eyes.
"Truly wonderful." Nan Lihuo's mouth curved into a grin.
With Li Che and his daughter advancing in strength and stature, their old mentor felt a surge of pride.
Pure delight from within.
...
...
Rumble——!!!
Li Che perched cross-legged on the Divine Machine Armored Heavenly Armor's head, every strand of the Divine Machine Monkey's fur appearing vividly real, drifting and waving in the breeze.
Fierce winds whipped about, as if threads of vibrant light wove together.
Near his ears, a massive bell seemed to toll, resounding without cease, like it stirred slumbering deities.
