Invincible in the Universe: Work hard to master the skills, become a flying knife god

Chapter 326: The Heart of the Omnic Machine, the Star Lord's Minions, the Yuheng Star Region, the Mystery of Bloodline [Edit]

Qin Shuang said calmly: "Because I have the Chaos Dao Fruit, my chance of survival is the highest. The rational choice is not who to sacrifice, but how to keep the most people alive."

The examiner made way for him, "The elders are waiting for you."

In the Temple of Reason, twelve mechanical elders sat in a circular hall. "Messengers from the Tianxuan Star Region," the chief elder said directly, "You are here for the Tianshu Star Core."

Qin Shuang nodded and responded: "The Star Lord is about to wake up, and we need to gather the seven star cores to strengthen the seal." After a brief discussion, the elders decided to let them pass the "Intelligent Machinery Trial."

The content of the trial was unexpected—it was playing chess with the AI ​​“Tianshu”.

Chu Feng volunteered to accept the challenge, and after three days of play, he won with a brilliant move. "Your wisdom has reached the standard." The chief elder handed the Heart of the Intelligent Machine to Qin Shuang.

When the handover was completed, the entire temple shook and the alarm sounded: "Warning! High-dimensional intrusion detected!"

A purple starship appeared, and several creatures that looked like humans but had no facial features fell from the ship. These creatures were immune to most attacks.

"Use the power of the star core!" Qin Shuang combined the energy of chaos and dark star and successfully repelled an enemy.

Nangong Wan and others also joined the battle, while the mechanical clan activated the defense system.

"The mothership must be destroyed!" Chu Feng said. Qin Shuang fused two star cores to attack the enemy ship, and before being counterattacked, he hit it with all his strength, but was still hit.

Qin Shuang was in critical condition after the fall, but the Mechanical Clan initiated an emergency repair procedure and eventually recovered 78% of his injuries.

Lin Yao told him that the energy of the Star Lord was still eroding his heart meridian. Qin Shuang forced himself to get up, "Before the Devourer mothership exploded, I saw the Free Spirit escaping to the Yuheng Star Region."

Chu Feng showed the star map, "Four star regions have been attacked. We have a special star ship that can reach the Yuheng star region within a month." Shi Hao revealed that he had undergone nano-armor transformation.

The ground shook again, and three purple stars appeared in the sky - the Star Lord's "Eye of Destruction". Lin Yao was surprised to calculate that unless the Star Lord obtained resonance from other star cores, it would be impossible to break the seal.

Qin Shuang suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, and the Chaos Dao Fruit appeared above his head. The cracks on the surface of the Dao Fruit resonated with the Eye of Destruction in the air.

"It's locating us!" Nangong Wanyue took action, isolating Qin Shuang and Daoguo, "The Star Lord tracked us here through the residual energy in your body!"

The crystal bodies of the mechanical elders formed a matrix: "Activate the 'Logical Closed Loop' defense protocol!"

The blue light beams weaved into a protective net to block the attack of the Eye of Destruction. "The logical weapons of the mechanical race can temporarily resist, but they can only last for twelve hours at most. You must leave immediately!" The voice of the chief elder rang in everyone's mind.

Lin Yao ran over with a portable star gate device: "This is a portable star gate that can jump directly to the border of the Yuheng Star Region!"

Qin Shuang grabbed her wrist, but Lin Yao shook her head: "I am a third-generation cyborg. Leaving it here can increase the efficiency of the defense system by 30%." She handed the data chip to Qin Shuang and said, "Go to Yuheng Star Region to find my sister Lin Yue. She is the chief of the Star Core Research Institute."

The Eye of Destruction launched another attack. Lin Yao's body decomposed and merged into the mechanical defense matrix, and Qin Shuang and others entered the portable star gate.

After passing through the star gate, Qin Shuang found himself standing in a field of spiritual medicine. "Is this the Yuheng Star Region?" Shi Hao was puzzled. Chu Feng explained: "The Yuheng Star Region is famous for its alchemy."

Nangong Wan pressed her brows and said, "Someone is coming, with a very strong spiritual power!" The white-robed woman Lin Yue appeared and spoke quickly, "The distress signal from the Tianxuan Star Region was received three days ago. Follow me, the minions of the Star Lord have infiltrated the research institute."

Lin Yue led everyone through the hidden barrier and into the underground research institute. She showed a crystal shaped like a pill, "It has been sealed in the 'Ten Thousand Medicine Cauldron' for 30,000 years and has merged with the laws of alchemy."

The projection shows that the Purple Thunder Master is trying to steal the tripod: "He is now trapped in the Thousand Medicines Maze."

Qin Shuang recognized the Purple Thunder Technique and found that it was Zi Yang. "He is now trapped in the 'Thousand Medicines Maze', but..." Lin Yue coughed, and purple liquid oozed from her fingers.

Nangong Wan supported her: "You have been infected by the star master's energy!"

"Not only me, but the entire senior management of the institute has been infiltrated." Lin Yue smiled bitterly, "They added the 'Purple Spirit Powder' provided by the Star Lord when refining the elixir, and those who take it will be controlled."

Chu Feng flipped through the bronze book: "It is recorded that the Yuheng star core can purify all toxins, including the star master energy."

"To obtain the star core, one must first pass the 'Trial of Loyalty', and the participant must have royal blood of the Yuheng Star Domain." Lin Yue called up the image of the Wanyao Ding.

Qin Shuang stared at the patterns on the tripod: "Is Taixu Immortal Emperor a member of the Yuheng royal family?"

Lin Yue nodded: "Thirty thousand years ago, Senior Taixu was indeed the Third Prince of the Yuheng Star Region."

Qin Shuang sacrificed the Chaos Dao Fruit, which resonated with the cauldron pattern, activated the teleportation array, and everyone was teleported to a strange space. The Ten Thousand Medicine Cauldron stood in it, and the shadow of the old man stood in front of it.

The old man turned around and said, "My successor is finally here."

"Senior Taixu?" Qin Shuang asked.

The old man explained that the Star Lord's mind was corrupted by the void, and pointed out the purification method. A purple thunder split the space, and the purple sun appeared!
“Hahaha! Thanks for leading the way!” Zi Yang grabbed the Wan Yao Ding, “The Star Lord promised that if I get the Yu Heng Star Core, he will grant me the position of Star Domain Lord!”

Qin Shuang stood in front of the cauldron, and used all his strength to activate the Chaos Dao Fruit. The forces of both sides collided, and the elixir exploded. Zi Yang laughed wildly: "The Purple Sky Divine Thunder bestowed by the Star Lord is specifically for defeating Chaos!" He pushed out with both palms, and the purple thunder dragon attacked.

Everyone joined forces to resist but failed. At the critical moment, Qin Shuang withdrew his defense and let the purple lightning penetrate his body. The Chaos Dao Fruit, Dark Star Core Fragments and the Heart of the Intelligent Machine glowed at the same time, absorbing the purple lightning. The cracks in the Dao Fruit healed, and silver light spots replaced the purple cracks.

"What?! This is impossible!" Zi Yang was shocked.

"You have forgotten the essence of the trial of loyalty." Qin Shuang wiped off the blood, "Use your body as a cauldron, pain as fire, and the enemy as medicine - this is the true inheritance of the Yuheng royal family!"

The Wanyao Ding was opened, and the star core sank into Qin Shuang's brow. The seven star core fragments formed a perfect cycle. Qin Shuang subdued Ziyang, extracted the void corrupted matter in his body and sealed it into the Wanyao Ding: "The seven cores have been gathered, and we should go and complete the instructions of Senior Taixu."

Back at the institute, Lin Yue was seriously injured. She pressed the button to close the gate, and at the last moment, the crystallization exploded. Qin Shuang attacked angrily, purifying the star master energy in the body of the controlled person.

In front of the top-level star gate, unexpectedly, the chief elder of the mechanical clan blocked the way, his crystal body covered with purple lines.
