This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 476 I Really Can’t Open It
"Back off..." Costat said in a deep voice.

Without even his reminder, everyone had already retreated a long distance, and at the same time closed their skin pores, looking quite solemn.

On the remains of the Yuan clan's life form, there was no flesh, blood or bones left. There was only grayish-white mist that kept rising, circling around and eventually dissipating.

No one knows what these things are, and no one dares to touch them easily.

"Dead..." Everyone was shocked and confused.

This incident happened extremely suddenly and without any signs, which is really strange.

Looking at his painful and twisted appearance, it doesn't seem like suicide.

He is actually dead?

Li Ming was equally surprised. Could it be related to the Eternal Abyss Power that he had extracted from his body?

That’s right, he not only extracted the genetic essence from the other party, but also another unknown energy during the absorption process, which was the power of the Eternal Abyss.

But what surprised him was that the power of the Eternal Abyss was still incomplete.

Could it be that this thing is at the ultimate level of life?

"There is no such thing as a contaminated area?" Kostat's eyes were filled with confusion. "This is a record from the Terrax civilization, so it shouldn't be wrong."

"Don't say such specious things. Your Highness, just tell us what you know." Claude couldn't help but emphasize.

"After the death of the Abyss, an area will be formed that will erode the universe, causing great damage to any physical matter," Dius added.

Various methods are being used to observe the area where the Yuan people died, but nothing abnormal has been found.

She even intercepted a wisp of gray-white mist and boldly held it in her hand to observe it. Then she became more and more surprised: "I can't find any lethality. Even the constituent materials are very basic."

"Are these two test subjects?" Costat speculated, "Has their ability to leave such a contaminated area been eliminated by the Holy Spirit Civilization?"

Dius objected: "It's unlikely. According to the information we have, it is extremely cumbersome for the Terrax civilization to deal with such a contaminated area, and it cannot be completely destroyed. It can only be compressed and then thrown back into the Eternal Abyss."

Compress it up?

Li Ming's heart moved slightly, and he remembered the source of his first incomplete Eternal Abyss power, which was obtained from a lord-level Titan in the dimensional world.

According to the information obtained by Robin's butler, this kind of thing should be handed over and then destroyed, but the Lord-class Titan was kept as a souvenir.

He had previously thought that it was a relic left behind by the Yuan clan after their death, but it turned out to be a compression method. Li Ming suddenly understood.

The polluted area left behind after the death of the Yuan clan should have been caused by the power of the Eternal Abyss.

It has been absorbed by itself and naturally will not cause any impact anymore.

No one else could interrupt the conversation between the two.

The Empire and the Federation are considered the two oldest civilizations in the known interstellar space. The power of the Star Cluster Republic Alliance cannot be underestimated, but its foundation is still too little.

The information and data about the Yuan Clan is obviously not as good as that of the Empire and the Federation.

As for Reynolds and Mikhail, there is no need to mention them.

The two of them are just the heads of individual organizations, and they have only fragmentary understanding of Yongyuan and even the Yuan clan.

The others listened very carefully, but in the end they found that there was no conclusion. Crow couldn't help but frowned, "Let's not discuss the issue of the contaminated area first. How could he die suddenly?"

At this point, his eyes couldn't help but fall on Li Ming, "Aren't you going to explain?"

"Do you think this matter has anything to do with me?" Li Ming still hadn't released his king form, and his burly mechanical body gave off an oppressive feeling.

"What else? Among us, you are the only one who has been in contact with him the longest." Claude felt very awkward. The one who currently controls this body is obviously Li Ming, a young boy, but now he has the power to suppress him in disguise.

This made him feel a little guilty when he questioned.

"Hehe..." Li Ming would not admit it, "This thing is an X-level life form. How can I get rid of it silently?"

"Then why did he look at you before he died?" Crow asked.

"I beat him so hard before, isn't it normal?" Li Ming said indifferently: "For example, Lord Crow, I didn't beat you, but you often secretly spied on me."

At this point, he said calmly: "Besides, even if I killed him, so what? I see you seem to be questioning me. What does this have to do with you..."

Klaue looked annoyed and was about to yell, but the pressure from the Mechanical King came over him, making him snort coldly and weakening his voice.

No one cared. It was obvious that Klaue was targeting Li Ming on purpose. They were all used to seeing it.

"Perhaps it was suicide..." Costat speculated: "He might not want to fall into our hands and learn his secrets."

At this moment, a series of strange syllables came from the side, which were very similar to the sounds that occurred when the Yuan clan died.

Everyone was startled and looked in the direction of the sound, only to find that the sound came from Reynolds' body.

"What are you doing?" Cedric couldn't help but shout.

"I recorded it, can anyone understand it?" Reynolds asked.

"We know very little about the Shadow of the Eternal Abyss, and we originally wanted to use this Abyss tribe member as a breakthrough." Costat sighed.

Reynolds asked nonchalantly, "Will anyone buy this recording?"

purchase?
Everyone was speechless. With their level of life, even if they didn't understand the meaning, wouldn't it be easy for them to reproduce a few syllables?
No one paid any attention to him. Lancaster glanced at the fog around him and said in a deep voice, "Don't forget, everyone. There is still a Yuan tribe here."

Everyone's faces changed slightly, and Lancaster continued: "The Yuan Clan who took the lead are very powerful, probably not weaker than me."

"After these two guys escaped, they didn't think about leaving the first time, but attacked us instead." Gonzalez pointed out something:
"Their strength is not enough to crush us, and they are very smart. They must know that it is extremely dangerous to attack us."

He looked at the Mechanical Lord again, "So, what kind of value made them take the risk and force their move?"

Li Ming... Li Ming again...

Everyone had their own thoughts in their minds. Since entering this ruin, Li Ming has played an extremely crucial role.

They also understood that Qinglong did not let him take risks, but came to reap the rewards.

And now, this guy seems to have extremely high value in the eyes of the Yuan clan, but where is his value?
Li Ming naturally would not explain and remained silent. It was just a specious guess that could not motivate anyone to take action against him.

It's not like he doesn't have the power to resist.

Mikhail, however, looked at the ruins that were constantly crumbling in the distance, frowned and said, "Hurry up, the battle just now seems to have destroyed a certain balance, and this ruin is about to be completely annihilated."

Everyone felt a little unlucky because something like this happened the first time they came in.

I thought this place could become a treasure land for long-term development, but it turned out to be a one-time thing.

Everyone followed Mikhail and changed direction, flying high into the sky. The collapse on the periphery became clearer, and it did not just start from where they were fighting.

The entire periphery began to collapse inward, and the edges gradually melted away. Mikhail only took a quick glance and calculated the remaining time based on the current collapse speed combined with the entire ruins model. "If we continue at this speed and don't speed up, we still have three months."

"Three months?" People did not think it was long, but rather short.

"Where is the next place? What kind of situation will we face?" Cedric asked.

"According to our speculation, it should be some kind of laboratory. The trouble is that we can't crack the management system." Mikhail said, "Once the management system detects that we are forcibly breaking through, it will activate self-annihilation and we will get nothing."

"Haha..." Gonzalez couldn't help but sneer: "What a coincidence, I heard that Qinglong is best at mechanical intelligence."

"It seems that this is another exclusive stage for His Excellency Qinglong."

Everyone's eyes swept over him vaguely, and Li Ming was speechless. The Holy Spirit Civilization was a mechanically evolved race, and they only had a few ways.

What is an exclusive stage?

"It's still the same old rule, priority in selection?" Costat looked over.

Li Ming was helpless: "I haven't seen the specific situation, so it may not be opened. It's too early to discuss conditions now."

He does have the ability to turn smart terminals into his own, he just needs to control them, but the problem is that he has to touch the core.

How could he touch the core across the entire laboratory?

"You're asking for a higher price because there's not much time left," Crow snorted coldly.

"You can't eat alone." Costat also said, with a very good attitude, "Take out the means that Qinglong has prepared."

"Yeah, Li Ming, stop pretending." Reynolds also joined in the fun.

Mikhail didn't say anything, but he was thinking in his mind how to get that thing away from Li Ming.

"Little brat, it's not good to be too greedy." Dius glanced at him and said lightly.

"I…"

Li Ming became more speechless. Did he really think he could do anything?
He was indeed a little depressed, and he also understood that this was the aftermath of the previous incident.

Everyone felt that Qinglong came prepared.

If he said now that it couldn't be opened, these people would definitely suspect that he was planning to have the whole thing to himself again.

He didn't explain too much and planned to wait and see what the specific situation was.

Not long after, everyone arrived at the laboratory. There were not many traces of fighting here, and the large building in the center still retained its original appearance.

It is just covered by a faint energy barrier, which makes it look very thin.

But Mikhail said: "This energy barrier has an extremely high defense level. More importantly, it can detect any slight fluctuations and has the ability to block space."

"The management system is unable to communicate and is already on the highest alert. If you don't have permission, as long as you get close to a certain range, it will be directly annihilated."

"How did you know that?" Cedric was suspicious. How could you know so much when they couldn't communicate?

"Forge Hammer has destroyed one." Mikhail said calmly, "However, Forge Hammer estimates that there should be nothing good inside, probably some prototypes or something like that."

Everyone was silent, their eyes fell on Li Ming. He had already removed his King form and was only wearing the Tank Guard.

"No..." Li Ming's helpless voice came out, "I can't get close to you. There's nothing I can do."

He really had no way to deal with this laboratory, and he couldn't absorb energy.

Everyone obviously didn't believe it, but before they said anything, their eyes changed and they all looked in the same direction.

At the rear side of the laboratory, fog was rolling.

Everyone's expression changed slightly, their eyes were full of vigilance, and then turned into astonishment.

A shadow suddenly rushed out. It was the Yuan clan that had escaped before. The speed was so fast that it was astonishing.

But the opponent's target was not them, and he crashed straight into the energy barrier in front of them.

In an instant, the ground seemed to suddenly explode with a ball of bright yellow light like a small sun, expanding rapidly at an astonishing speed.

Wherever the light reached, everything was dyed golden, and energy fluctuations spread out violently.

The air was heated rapidly, forming waves of scorching heat that surged in all directions. The ground continued to tremble and crack under the impact of this powerful energy.

Although no harm was caused to anyone, their faces turned ugly.

Heat waves rolled in from all around, and the aftermath of the explosion had not yet completely dissipated. Given everyone's life levels, they were naturally not afraid, and they took action to forcibly calm the energy fluctuations.

There is nothing here anymore. The original location of the laboratory has turned into a big pit, and the ground is cracked and shattered.

"Looking for death." Klaue looked gloomy and gritted his teeth. There were only four places in total. They didn't gain much, and one of them was bombed.

Although no one knew what was inside, at this moment, everyone felt that they had suffered a heavy loss.

Except for Li Ming, everyone felt sorry but also relieved. Everyone suspected that he wanted to have the whole thing to himself, but now that it has been exposed, everyone is happy.

"He is taking revenge on us." Costat said in a deep voice as he looked at the fog that had cleared around him.

Mikhail soared into the sky and looked into the distance. After landing, his face was quite solemn. "The explosion just now accelerated the collapse of the ruins."

"Nothing is left, so there must be nothing good." Cedric looked around and couldn't help but say.

Their idea was very simple. They believed that good things must be very strong. The explosion just now was not that intense.

If there is anything precious, it will definitely be kept.

"If we had hurry up, it might have been opened." Crow said meaningfully.

Li Ming raised his eyebrows. Although he didn't mention anyone by name, it was obvious that he was deliberately pointing at him.

"Let's go to the last place." Mikhail interrupted again.

There was something wrong with Mikhail too. This was the second time Li Ming had rescued him. He glanced at this master craftsman.

Others didn't say much. The explosion had already happened, so there was no need to complain about anything, and it was even more impossible to blame Li Ming.

"Hurry up and don't let that thing get ahead of you." Cedric urged.

"Don't worry, the Yuan clan will definitely not be able to destroy the last place." Mikhail was very confident and had already soared into the sky.

Everyone followed closely, asking for specific details.

"I don't have much information to tell you. I don't know why we can't get in." Mikhail shook his head, not intentionally covering up this time. "We only know that it is a wall, an invisible wall that isolates everything."
