This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 408: Twenty. billion metal energies!

He felt a little strange. Levenbeck was at least a master craftsman, and was good at life science.

But the final reaction can definitely be described as "fear".

However, the more Levenbaker was scared, the better it was for him.

It's best to be so scared that you can't move...

The humanoid vampire stood in the center, with confusion and bewilderment on his face, not understanding what had just happened.

Li Ming waved his hand, and the blood species turned into an egg again, and then was put into his control space.

Li Ming let the mechanical body collect the body left by Levenbaker, and turned around to leave the mine.

Levenbaker was scared off, and the metal was almost in place, so it was time for him to leave.

We returned on the aircraft and said goodbye to Mr. Yang. Although the old man was reluctant to leave, he didn't say much, but just asked him to be careful.

As for Yang Peng and Li Ning, Li Ming just sent them a casual message, then boarded the Liuying and headed towards the Itlan civilization.

At the same time, a huge palace made of flesh and blood sat firmly on a piece of "earth". The surface of the palace was covered with black scales shaped like armor, moving with a certain rhythm, like regular breathing.

With every "breath", a faint blood-colored mist seeps out from the gaps between the scales and permeates the surrounding air.

Each one was as red as blood and throbbing, like a living heart that was constantly beating, rotating around the hall.

Chains as thick as blood vessels penetrated deeply into the "ground" below the hall.

The stars are passing by all around, and it seems that it is always sailing. If you zoom out a little, you will be surprised to find it.

This strange palace of flesh and blood is actually located on the body of a star beast that is so huge that it is beyond imagination. It is like a moving continent, and its skin is as rough as a mountain range.

A mysterious energy glow flowed between the veins, and the Flesh Palace was like an insignificant spot on its back.

In the hall, the scarlet throne of flesh and blood seemed to have life, with countless tiny flesh buds clinging to the life form sitting on it.

Slowly interweaving and merging, the lower body has completely merged with the throne of flesh and blood, the blood vessels and meridians are intertwined, it is impossible to tell whether they are the veins of the throne or the blood vessels of the body, presenting a creepy symbiotic state.

The tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and a strong breath of life surged out like an overwhelming force, and the throne squirmed faster and faster.

"Azure Dragon!"

Levenback let out a terrifying cry, and the hoarse voice echoed in the empty hall, then turned into a low murmur: "Forging hammer..."

Until this moment, he still couldn't calm down. The scene of the blood species turning into human form kept flashing before his eyes.

It had been a long time since he had felt this kind of fear and anxiety that penetrated deep into his bones. Looking at the familiar environment around him, he gradually calmed down.

"Blood species transformation, Qinglong has known my identity for a long time and gave me a big surprise." Levenbeck looked grim and fell into deep thought:
"However, since he had already seen through my identity, why did he let Li Ming continue to play with me? Is he trying to find the location of my real body?"

As this thought came to his mind, Levenbeck felt a chill all over his body again. In his heart, the Azure Dragon was almost equivalent to a forging hammer.

Only his teacher, who had been exposed to alchemical technology, had this familiarity and ability, and could carry out this kind of transformation after just a few months of practice.

The horror of the vampires transforming into human form is not even as great as discovering this "truth".

If his teacher had faked his death for many years like him, he wouldn't have believed how accomplished the other person could be.

That burly figure was the shadow in his heart, difficult to erase. Years of teaching and admiration, a complex intertwined emotion.

Levenbeck forced himself to calm down again: "No, I use alchemical psychic resonance to control the carrier. It is transmitted through the universe, not in the form of signal waves. The main body is moving almost all the time. I don't believe he can find me."

After hiding for so many years, there is naturally nothing wrong with his mentality.

But the thought that the other party was most likely Forging Hammer, his teacher, made him unable to calm down.

"He's stalling for time..." Levenbeck finally realized this, "Why? What does he want to do?"

Thinking without any evidence would hardly yield any useful answers. He frowned and tried to review the situation, "What would have happened if I hadn't been delayed?"

"If I find out that Ryan's people have been attacked, I will notify him immediately. Given Ryan's personality, he might rush directly to the Corona Borealis ring to investigate the matter in detail."

"The blood sacrifice will definitely stop." Levenbeck gradually understood the situation. "He wants to collect enough evidence to incriminate Ryan?"

Levenbeck was not sure, the only thing that was certain was that Qinglong delayed him in order to prevent Ryan from knowing the situation too early.

"Since you don't want him to know, I will definitely let him know as soon as possible." Levenbeck's eyes flickered coldly.
"However, I have to tell Ryan everything. But he probably already realized that my identity is not simple."

With a slight movement of his mind, a column rose in front of the flesh and blood throne, reflecting a virtual screen. He wanted to log into the Alchemist Baron's account, but stopped.

"No, if I tell him directly, his actions may get out of control. Qinglong is nowhere to be found, and impulsiveness is not advisable. Besides, my experiment has to go on..." Levenbaker pondered.

A ball of flesh squeezed out of the upper body connected to the throne of flesh and blood, which quickly absorbed the free energy particles and evolved into a living form.

He looked serious, "I still have to go there myself. Ryan can't give up. Qinglong... Forging Hammer... We have to plan everything carefully."

Silently, the life form in front of him regained its spirit and walked out, "Teacher, I am not weaker than you!"

.........

During interstellar travel, one can hardly feel the passage of time, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.

The mother planet of Ethlan - Clanril, this life planet is much larger than ordinary life planets. It has five natural satellites and seven acquired satellite cities, which together surround the prosperous mother planet.

Amid the flowing starlight, a large number of spaceships lined up at the starport and entered one by one.

In a secret facility somewhere, Li Ming met Asmara whom he had not seen for a long time.

"It's been a long time since we last met, Your Highness. You've become more beautiful than ever." Li Ming was very polite. Looking at Asmara, who was wearing black gloves and a luxurious black dress, her posture was still graceful and elegant.

A complicated look flashed across Asmara's slightly raised face as she looked at Li Ming who seemed respectful in front of her.

Once upon a time, I had the opportunity to recruit this person, or to establish a very good relationship with him.

If at that time, she had not been dissatisfied with this guy's close relationship with Ford and asked Isius to smooth out his edges.

Things change unpredictably. No one expected that she would be in the same boat with Baijan and Ford. Past disputes became ridiculous.

"Isius, it was you who killed him." Asmara spoke slowly.

Li Ming was a little surprised and recalled the somewhat arrogant prince.

I didn't expect Asmara to ask this question. He was definitely not trying to bring up old issues. He might just be trying to verify his guess.

"Who killed Isius? Does it matter now?" Li Ming shook his head and still didn't explain. Asmara chuckled silently and didn't waste time talking to Li Ming. She said directly: "The metal materials you want are now all at the Stargate Port. You can go and get them at any time."

"And the materials sent by your people have been gathered together in one place according to your ideas."

The topic changed quickly. Li Ming vaguely felt that Asmara had changed a little, but he didn't know where to start.

"Then thank you, Your Highness, Princess."

Li Ming nodded, already somewhat impatient. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he ran into a group of people head-on. The leader had a gloomy expression and was about 70% similar to Nicholas. It was Archduke Xavier.

His eyes swept over Li Ming. Due to the mimicry, he didn't care at all. He just casually asked Asmara, "Who is he?"

"A secret ally." Asmara looked indifferent, with his chin slightly raised, and signaled his confidant behind him to send Li Ming out.

Archduke Xavier did not suspect anything at all. He had a worried look on his face, as if he had something to say.

Li Ming glanced at him, and left the secret facility under the guidance of his confidant.

This secret facility is on one of the satellites orbiting the mother planet. Asmara's confidant took him onto a small aircraft and prepared to take him to the port.

"Teacher, isn't this exciting?"

In the small aircraft, Li Ming suddenly spoke, looking at the middle-aged man in front of him with a determined expression.

The middle-aged man's face twitched, "Did you figure it out?"

Li Ming smiled, "I saw it at first sight."

That’s right, the confidant following behind Asmara was none other than the elusive Wu Yanqing.

"You guys are quite good at having fun, right under the nose of Grand Duke Xavier." Li Ming teased.

Old Wu's cheeks twitched, and he said helplessly: "What are you talking about? There are not many people Asmara can trust, and there are many things that only I can do."

"Tsk..." Li Ming said meaningfully. Even if Old Wu was thick-skinned, he couldn't stand it at this moment and changed the subject unnaturally.

"What is your Qinglong teacher going to do this time? I feel like this matter can't be suppressed any more. Xavier has become suspicious, of course not towards Asmara, but towards that Thor..."

"Don't worry, if you can't push it down, don't force it." Li Ming shook his head: "It won't affect you..."

"We are fine..." Wu Yanqing hesitated, subconsciously looked around, and said hesitantly: "There is something I need to ask you..."

"Hmm?" Li Ming's expression became more serious. "Just tell me directly."

"Asmara is pregnant..." Wu Yanqing's expression was very unnatural.

"Ah?" Li Ming was confused for a moment, hesitating to speak, hesitating for a long time, and could only give a thumbs up, "As expected of you..."

"Let me make it clear first, if the victim comes to me, I won't care."

Wu Yanqing's face darkened. "Things here are more complicated. They're not what you think."

"Yeah." Li Ming nodded, "No wonder Asmara seemed a little weird, it turns out to be the radiance of motherhood."

Wu Yanqing opened his mouth, knowing that he couldn't explain it clearly, so he shook his head and sneered: "She has maternal radiance?"

"She took the embryo out of her belly and put it directly into an external gestation device without any care."

Hearing this, Li Ming couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "As expected of a strong woman, I said it's normal to have such a belly."

"It's fine if she doesn't want to take care of it, but she didn't even tell me where to train me." Wu Yanqing was obviously very unhappy about this, and then shook his head: "This is a matter between us."

He said solemnly, "What I'm asking for is another thing. If we are affected by Ryan in this matter, I hope you can find a place to culture the embryos."

"Asmara is a smart man, he probably didn't place the training position around here."

Li Ming opened his mouth, wanting to tell Old Wu not to worry about being affected, but then he nodded and assured, "Don't worry, if anything happens, I will go find him."

Wu Yanqing patted his shoulder and did not continue the heavy topic. Instead, he talked about other things. He had not returned to Blue Star for a long time.

After learning about the changes in the laboratory, he just snorted coldly: "Luochuan's hands are still too soft."

The two chatted and soon arrived at the metal material storage warehouse. After showing Asmara's order, the two had a smooth journey.

Rumble--
The heavy warehouse door slowly opened, and dazzling light rushed out from the gradually widening gap.

"These metal materials are not the most advanced, but they are pretty good. I wonder if they meet your requirements." Old Wu said as he stood by.

"It definitely meets the requirements." Li Ming couldn't help rubbing his hands. This day had finally come.

As he stepped into the warehouse, he looked back at Wu Yanqing.

Old Wu understood and closed the warehouse door. "You can find a way to get out later. I'm going back first."

Boom!

The door of the warehouse was tightly closed, and the metal materials in front of him were piled up like a hill. There were all kinds of colors, coming from various advanced civilizations and the Mechanical Royal Court.

The more advanced the material, the greater the technological premium that comes with it. Advanced civilizations provide some less expensive materials, and when added together, the volume is not small, but not too large either.

Li Ming was already very satisfied and absorbed it patiently.

The market value of these metal materials was close to 110 billion, and he spent three days and three nights absorbing them.

After absorbing the last bit of "tungsten steel alloy", Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes burning with anger.

On the control page, the metal energy balance has reached an unprecedented 1.6 billion.

He himself has less than 100 million metal energies left.

This time, he absorbed more than 100 million pieces of metal energy. When the balance reached 10 billion, his heart beat wildly.

But he still patiently absorbed all the metal energy before taking out the Infinite Hammer that was wrapped by the special technology of the Holy Elephant from the folded space.

The fingertips gently stroke the white film on top, and there is a "pop" sound, like a bubble bursting.

An infinitely heavy hammer as thick as a finger suddenly enlarged, and the hammer head covered with cracks smashed down fiercely.

Li Ming frowned and reached out to grab the cold hammer handle immediately, but he still felt an unstoppable and terrifying force carrying him down.
