This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 568: Trouble Caused by Identity Exposure

At this moment, everything is silent.

Under the giant screen of time and space, due to the previous violent collision, all kinds of energy fluids in this area were almost cleared out.

Everyone stared blankly at the figure holding the purple hammer, and they were all shocked.

The person who was said to have opened the Holy Castle a long time ago, a life form that is as powerful as the sixteen Yuan clans combined, is actually Qinglong?

Then, their gazes moved downwards and landed on the Azure Dragon in the distance, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of awe in their hearts.

The Empire is acting on two fronts, searching for the Star of Eternal Silence on the one hand and the Holy Castle on the other.

After they found out, at most they could only sigh and say that the empire had a strong foundation, but they were not too surprised.

But the big boss Qinglong also acted on two fronts. On the one hand, he arranged for the pioneers to act secretly in the deep dimensional world.

He was leisurely and arrived at the deep dimensional world at the last moment, and drove away the two forbidden life forms head-on.

A piece of the Star of Eternal Silence was snatched from the Empire.

That’s not all. On the Empire’s side, the carefully planned Holy Fortress had already been opened by him.

So fierce that he hardly looks human.

"It's actually Qinglong..." Florian was shocked, but also felt enlightened.

Last time he thought that there was something wrong with Clyde's challenge, so it turned into a challenge to a human being, but it turned out that there was an update.

Now that he has figured it out, he feels even more helpless. Looking at the current situation, it might be difficult for Clyde to win.

“Having planned so much…” At this moment, Gustav truly felt the unfathomable nature of Qinglong.

In terms of strength, Azure Dragon certainly has an upper limit and will definitely not surpass Level X life forms.

Of course strength is important when it comes to making a living, but it is not the only important thing. This kind of situation of taking every step carefully and even being ten thousand steps ahead is what makes him more frightened.

"Could it be that he relied on the Crown of Diglas to withstand the attacks of the two forbidden life forms?" Anatoly said abruptly, and everyone immediately realized.

Especially for some X-level life forms that had participated in the operation in the Barren Land, they were enlightened.

"No wonder there is a golden film every time, it may be the crown of Diglas..."

"Then, Lord Qinglong, isn't that already invincible?"

The power of the Crown of Digras was described by Prince Heckler of the Empire himself, and there is a high probability that it is correct.

If it can even withstand the attacks of the ultimate life forms, then who in this interstellar space can break this layer of defense?

"No wonder he took action at the last minute. If he has the means to calm the enemy, he is naturally not afraid."

Everyone was talking about it, there were too many secrets discovered today.

This is good news for the members of the United Organization of Higher Life Forms. With this big guy supporting them, they will have more confidence when facing the three major civilizations in the future.

However, the atmosphere in the Empire was very depressing, and the many higher life forms gathered around Costat looked at each other in bewilderment.

How can we play this game? This guy is invincible in defense.

They looked at Prince Costat in the center secretly. His emotions had been restrained and his face was expressionless, but veins bulged on both sides of his cheeks.

"Is there going to be a fight?"

Everyone was discussing, and no one knew whose mental fluctuations covered the entire place.

Everyone's expressions were startled again and they quickly looked up.

They were quite curious about this battle, partly because it was the so-called trial to become a king.

The higher life forms present were unprecedented in human history.

On the other hand, the protagonist seems to be a projection of Qinglong, which obviously does not involve a battle between mechanical bodies.

Perhaps, we can get a glimpse of Qinglong's true strength from it.

In the ring, Morris was already prepared. Although he could admit defeat on the spot, since the trial had already been initiated, he still took it very seriously.

The initial contact was almost no different from the previous battle.

The higher life forms in the deep dimensional world also gradually became disappointed from their initial expectations.

"Lord Qinglong's fighting style is really simple and unpretentious..." Someone was silent for a long time, and finally said in silence.

This statement was already quite euphemistic. Qinglong's battles were not very entertaining to watch, and even energy fluctuations rarely appeared on his body. It seemed that he was fighting purely based on strength and speed.

No, the hammer in his hand is already being used to perfection.

The guy named Morris was quite skilled. They had never seen many of his attack methods and approaches before, and they were quite amazed.

However, although Qinglong's fighting style is simple and unpretentious, its lethality is obvious.

Every time the purple hammer collided with Morris, everyone could clearly see the injuries Morris suffered.

At the end of the fight, they only saw the purple hammer held by Qinglong smashing through the space in a trance, and Morris exploded with a solemn expression, and then the ring collapsed.

The guy looked frustrated, obviously having failed in the challenge.

"Is this the end?"

This battle was neither good nor bad to watch, especially the last hammer. It was hard to feel the specific power contained in it, but it seemed very strong.

This awkward feeling makes people uncomfortable.

“Is this the strength before embarking on the ultimate path?” The Dwarf King muttered, holding a black sledgehammer in his hand, the hammer head of which was bigger than him.

"Although it is indeed very strong, it is somewhat different from what was expected. The combat capability of Azure Dragon itself does not seem to exceed 1000X..."

"Which idiot is talking?" Anduin sneered and looked around for the person who was talking:

"This challenge is limited to the X-level, which does not mean that Qinglong's strength is limited to this level. This is just a projection of him."

"Besides, Qinglong is a master craftsman and never relies on his main body to fight."

After watching this battle, everyone naturally felt a sense of disappointment. Qinglong's specific performance was not quite the same as they had expected.

But he also understood what Anduin said. It was just a projection of the Azure Dragon and did not represent anything.

But... everyone's eyes were vaguely wandering on Tan Wei.

What on earth is that person doing? Up to now, there has been no movement, and even his movements have not changed.

……

Inside the holy castle, Li Ming felt very fucked and had a very unhappy expression on his face as he stared at the two black giants, one big and one small.

"My identity was actually exposed directly." He frowned.

The Holy Castle being found by the Empire was already a relatively bad situation, but in his original expectation, it was not the worst.

The main firepower is still faced by the Holy Fortress, which can withstand it. If he makes some small moves in secret, it can probably delay it for a long time.

The last thing he wanted was for his identity to be exposed.

This gave the outside world two targets: one was the Holy Castle and the other was Azure Dragon.

He couldn't hide behind and do things, and he might even face huge pressure from the entire galaxy. The Holy Castle was not only coveted by the Empire, but also by the other two civilizations. There were even some guys who didn't know their own strength and might get involved.

The thought of the three great civilizations joining forces horrified him.

Under normal circumstances, even if the chosen one is triggered into the King's Trial, what comes out is also his projection.

But at the Warlord level, he hasn't fought with a hammer yet, so it's hard to tell who he is.

The others were not chosen, and their blood concentration was not high enough, so they were not qualified to be triggered into the King Trial, so it was almost impossible for his identity to be exposed.

But the appearance of these two black giants was not what he expected at all. They suddenly rushed in and directly revealed his identity.

This has put him in a very troublesome situation.

He can handle being an enemy of the empire.

But he really didn't have the ambition to be an enemy of the three major civilizations, or even the entire interstellar space.

"The way out is still there. At worst, we can abandon the Holy Castle and find a place to hide." Li Ming frowned.

But he really didn't want to abandon the Holy Castle unless it was absolutely necessary.

It would be uncomfortable not to eat the meat right in front of your mouth. Moreover, the Crown of Diglas can affect the ultimate level of battle.

The importance of this thing is second only to his becoming an X-level life form.

"The gene seed in Sheffield has not yet been successfully prepared. If I fail, it will be difficult for him to keep any secrets for me."

"He needs a lot of resources, and inevitably needs to make contact with the stars. Even kidnapping him is not advisable."

Li Ming's thoughts were intertwined in his mind, and his eyes were shining. Although this matter was troublesome, there was still a chance to continue playing.

The dominant corpse is here, it's time to throw it out.

He thought of diverting the trouble away and muddying the waters completely.

"But we can't just throw it out there, because that would make it easier for multiple parties to cooperate. We can only let it go slowly, letting them get entangled and attracting our attention..."

"It also needs to have enough deterrent effect to make them afraid to act rashly..." Li Ming gradually figured out the thread. It would be natural for a young child to be greedy when he sees gold in the market.

But if a fully armed adult holds it, most people will give up the idea.

"Can I ask you a favor..."

Li Ming was thinking about it when he heard the supervisor next to him suddenly speak.

"Hmm?" He was slightly surprised and collected his thoughts. This was the first time this guy spoke in this tone.

"Please take that heart back..." The Supervisor pointed at the blood-red crystal in the Black King's hand. Li Ming could feel the anger contained in the other's mechanical eyes.

"Killing a pure-blooded Titan and desecrating his corpse." The Overseer gnashed his teeth, "This group of Titan offshoots are extremely evil!"

"Oh?" Li Ming's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he immediately thought, "Then can I trouble you to move this holy castle to a new location?"

"I can't do it..." The Supervisor looked at him helplessly, "This is the basic procedure. It has been here since it was created."

Li Ming frowned slightly, but heard the Supervisor continue: "However, if you can get that heart back, I can use it to close a program port."

"Prevent the chosen ones of this holy castle from being inspired to become the king of trials."

Li Ming's eyes lit up when he heard this. It seemed that doing this would be better than changing positions.

Changing location is nothing more than delaying time. When the empire finds the next chosen one, it can still squeeze in again in this way.

But if this program port is closed, the outside world will have no way to do anything.

We can only attack by force, but the defensive strength of the Holy Castle is unquestionable and cannot be broken at all.

Well... not necessarily. Li Ming thought about this and did not make an overly optimistic speculation, being slightly conservative.

All I can say is that there shouldn't be any problem in the short term.

"Okay, it's settled." Li Ming nodded, his eyes falling on the burly Black King.

Outside the door, the gray-black fog had dissipated, and Morris, who was covered in bruises, was repairing his body.

Heckler's face was extremely gloomy, and he felt a breath stuck in his chest. He wanted to vomit but couldn't, and he wanted to swallow but couldn't.

Why the hell it's you again!

I'm clearly no longer targeting you, so why are you still pestering me?

Heckler's mentality was almost exploding. He thought he had wisely avoided Qinglong, but in the end, this guy was waiting for him at the finish line.

He even thought that when he targeted Qinglong before, the other party might have already been planning to attack the Holy Castle.

If I had persisted, I might have had a chance to stop the other party, but I withdrew and chose another path.

I should have thought of it earlier. The other party kept the chosen person by his side not for the purpose of "raising the Gu" in the end.

Heckler couldn't think about it too much, he controlled his emotions, if he thought any further he was afraid he would lose control on the spot.

Taking a deep breath, he tried to calm himself down. Tandin beside him had a cold expression on his face.

Qinglong, your ghost is really lingering around.

However, we should never get involved in the Holy Castle. This is no longer just a matter for the Empire.

"Now, do you understand?" The Black King said, "He should be called Qinglong, he is quite famous."

He glanced at Heckler in an indifferent tone. As a legitimate descendant of the Titans, he spoke with a hint of pride: "He has already taken the lead, but you know nothing about it. You even thought that I came to be your enemy."

Heckler had adjusted his mood, but his face was still gloomy enough to drip water.

His eyes fell on the Black King, and an ugly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Titan branch, Dark Prison Giant..."

"If my guess is correct, you should be the seeds that took refuge from the Terrax civilization."

"No, you are not even seeds, you are slaves, servants, and toys. What you are holding in your hand should be the heart of a pure-blooded Titan."

"They are still very active. I'm afraid they didn't die of old age. How can I believe what you say about a race that betrayed their creator and killed their master?"

In a short time, Heckler had analyzed it.

As the words fell, the Black King looked grimly. A pitch-black fog spread under his feet, and he could vaguely see a roaring, hideous head.

Seeing this, Heckler added: "You have completely inherited the evolution of the Titans."

Under the giant screen of time and space, everyone learned more information and became noisy again.

"Is this guy a descendant of the Titans who escaped?"

Before a civilization collapses, a batch of seeds will be prepared to serve as a source of fire, and everyone is familiar with this.

Someone shook his head: "They are just vassals of the Pure-Blood Titan. According to Prince Heckler, these guys killed the Pure-Blood Titan and cut out his heart, so they were able to enter the Holy Castle unimpeded."

"How come this kind of life form has emerged, and I've never heard of it before?"

"It's not like I haven't heard of it..." Anatoly shook his head and said, "It has been discovered before, but it was basically digested by the three major civilizations and would not be known to the outside world."
