World version update

Chapter 231 Great Collapse Version

"What is this? A Stitches version?"

Lu Yan looked at the introduction on the version update interface in front of him, his mind full of question marks.

After more than ten version updates, this is the first time that Lu Yan has seen a version pieced together from dozens of versions.

Although he has not entered it yet, just based on the text description and the huge number of unique people in this world involved, Lu Yan can already imagine what the scene of demons dancing wildly in the Great Collapse version will be like.

This particular version is definitely not less dangerous.

"So, I was tricked by Jiang Zhiwei?"

Lu Yan couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

According to Jiang Zhiwei, the outcome of the special version will affect the direction of the entire fairy-xia version, as well as the division of interests among the major sects.

In addition, there is an implicit rule in the special version, which is that once you are over 100 years old, you can no longer enter the special version.

It is for this reason that the major sects would take great pains to select and train true disciples under the age of 100, with the goal of safeguarding the sect's interests.

Among the ten major Xuanmen sects and the seven supreme sects of the devil's way, the Taiyi Sect pays the most attention to special versions. The status of true disciples under the age of one hundred is comparable to that of the Taoist Lord of Transformation.

After muttering a few words, Lu Yan had already made a decision.

Whether from the transaction with Jiang Zhiwei or from the degree of danger of the four versions, the Great Collapse version is the only choice.

The first three versions may not be as chaotic as the Honkai Impact 3rd version, but there are too many uncertainties hidden in them.

On the contrary, according to the description in the text, there are forces belonging to the Xianxia version in the Great Collapse version. No matter how much Lu Yan can be regarded as a true disciple of the Taiyi Sect, he can still get a lot of convenience from it.

Of course, the most important point is that if Lu Yan wants to maintain his relationship with Jiang Zhiwei, he must complete the transaction with Jiang Zhiwei.

With this thought in mind, Lu Yan spoke in this stagnant space and time:

"Choose, the Great Collapse Version!"

Lu Yan felt that the stagnant time and space began to change.

Unlike the previous version updates, this time's version of the Great Collapse presented a completely different picture at the beginning of the update.

Space was twisting and tearing, as if thousands of invisible hands were tearing at the curtain of reality. The dilapidated ancestral hall before him began to collapse under this force, bricks and tiles turned into streams of light and scattered, and the walls melted like foam.

In a blink of an eye, the familiar buildings disappeared, replaced by a stretch of barren wasteland that stretched as far as the eye could see.

Under the dark red sky, the broken walls and ruins were like the skeletons of ancient beasts lying across the dead land. The decayed energy floated in the air, forming a faint dark purple mist that drifted with the wind.

"Is this the Great Collapse version?"

Lu Yan was a little dazed. He rose into the sky from the ruins of the ancestral hall and looked around.

Looking around, the Taiyi Cave Heaven where Lu Yan was originally located had turned into a huge ruin. Broken stone pillars pierced the sky crookedly, and the cracked floor tiles were covered with incomplete array patterns.

In the wasteland dozens of miles away, a palace that looked like it was built by mountains seemed to have fallen from the sky, creating a deep pit in the wasteland, as if it had already decayed after tens of millions of years of erosion.

Among the scattered rubble, there are occasionally huge ancient Taoist characters that flicker with faint light, like dying stars.

The wind howled wildly in the wasteland, blowing up countless fine dust particles that swirled above the dead and silent ruins, as if the eternal souls of the dead were whispering.

"This is... a dead blessed land!"

Lu Yan was filled with shock.

So far, Lu Yan has only seen two blessed places, the Qingwu Blessed Land of the Qingwu Sect and the Taiyi Cave Heaven of the Taiyi Sect.

Taiyi Cave Heaven is a world of its own that transcends the mundane world, but even the slightly inferior Qingwu Blessed Land is the result of countless years of hard work by the orthodox Xuanmen sect.

But now the spiritual veins in this blessed wasteland have dried up, and the spiritual energy in the air is almost as thin as that in the original urban version.

Moreover, most of the rules of this world have been shattered. The fragments of the rules are simply unable to support a complete rule. Even the central palace that maintains the blessed land has fallen from the sky to the earth.

Such a move gave Lu Yan a great shock.

"The war in the Great Collapse version was able to destroy a blessed land. What happened in this Stitched version?"

Lu Yan was thinking in his heart, and suddenly his soul trembled, and an indescribable sense of crisis suddenly surged into his heart.

His body turned into a rainbow and disappeared on the spot. Only the next second, a blue beam of light penetrated the shadow left by Lu Yan and fell straight to the ground.

The array pattern on the ruins of the building was easily torn apart, and a blue beam of light penetrated the ruins directly into the ground, leaving behind a bottomless dark hole.

It can be imagined that if one allows the blue beam of light to fall on the body, even a golden elixir body will suffer severe damage.

"what is that?"

Lu Yan looked intently in the direction where the blue light beam was coming from, and then his expression was stunned.

The originally clear sky in the distance began to be shrouded in shadows. Above the sky, the huge metal floating fortress was like an ancient behemoth, exuding a terrifying technological pressure.

Every inch of the alloy armor on its surface gleams with a cold luster, and countless energy circuits flow on its surface like blood vessels, emitting heart-pounding power fluctuations.

That blue beam of light came from a cannon muzzle on top of the floating fortress.

The next moment, the sound of rigid machinery resounded throughout the world.

"Immortal cultivators were found in the ruins of Dongxuan Blessed Land. They are suspected to be excavating the remains of the blessed land."

"The Xuanguang III laser cannon failed to lock onto the opponent. The opponent's soul strength has reached the golden elixir realm. It is suspected to be a true immortal cancer!"

On the floating fortress, the dark blue light instantly turned into scarlet.

"Emergency procedure activated, annihilation mode activated!"

A mechanical sound echoed between heaven and earth, and in an instant, countless hatches on the surface of the fortress burst open.

Hundreds of fighter planes swarmed out like a swarm of bees, weaving an impenetrable web of death in the air. At the same time, hundreds of hideous Xuanguang III laser cannons slowly rotated, and each gun muzzle condensed a dazzling energy light, covering Lu Yan in a dense lock light spot.

boom!
The void was torn apart at this moment, and countless laser beams poured down like a galaxy.

Lu Yan's eyes fixed. The floating fortress did not give him any time to react. Every firing point had been precisely calculated. Even if he turned into a rainbow, it would be difficult to avoid it completely.

Tiangang Golden Light Mantra!
With the help of the supreme supernatural power, he cast the Golden Light Mantra to protect himself. The golden light surrounded him as if turning Lu Yan into a golden statue. A large number of lasers were blocked by the Golden Light Mantra before they could reach Lu Yan.

But soon, Lu Yan's expression changed suddenly.

The Golden Light Mantra of the Tiangang status is certainly powerful, and can easily resist one, ten, or a hundred laser cannons, but now there are more than a thousand attacks coming from the entire floating fortress, and even the Golden Light Mantra cannot easily resist them.

"Passive defense will be breached sooner or later. We must destroy the floating fortress!"

Lu Yan made up his mind and, relying on the fact that the Golden Light Curse had not yet dissipated, he rushed towards the floating fortress.

The floating fortress's main brain noticed Lu Yan's movements at the first moment, and the original firepower network immediately changed from sniping to blocking Lu Yan's attack.

Facing the lock of laser weapons, even though Lu Yan had extraordinary escape skills, it was difficult for him to break out of the fire network, especially since the floating fortress still had several main guns left. Although each shot could not hit Lu Yan who had spiritual perception, its power was so strong that Lu Yan had to actively avoid it.

Several charges ended in failure. By the end, the golden light on Lu Yan's body dimmed a bit, while the attack of the floating fortress showed no signs of slowing down.

Lu Yan also tried to break through the space and land next to the floating fortress, but this technological fortress seemed to have some kind of spatial force field, and the surrounding space was extremely solid and difficult to destroy.

Lu Yan finally calmed down, and began to think carefully while dodging the attack. "The floating fortress is undoubtedly coming from the technological side. My initiative to charge head-on is undoubtedly using my own weakness to attack their strength. I must find the weakness of the technological side's weapons."

A huge amount of thoughts surged in Lu Yan's mind, and the next moment a flash of inspiration suddenly passed through Lu Yan's mind.

The biggest advantage of the technological side itself is its huge size and production efficiency. However, no matter how powerful the size of technology is, it always lacks the most critical link before reaching a certain level - that is the means to fight against the power of rules.

With an instant enlightenment in his mind, Lu Yan took the initiative to disperse the Golden Light Curse, and the seed of supreme magical power began to bless another spell.

Tiangang Yinfu triple kill!

The true meaning of the three kills from "Yin Fu San Sha Dao Zang" was activated in an instant, and the triple killing intentions of heaven, earth and man descended on the floating fortress along with the rules.

The floating fortress seemed to have sensed some kind of crisis, and an energy barrier suddenly unfolded, but it was useless.

The triple murderous intentions of heaven, earth and man caused by the Yin Fu San Sha are not substantial forces, but come from the hostility of the three elements of heaven, earth and man.

Inside the gigantic floating fortress, countless precision instruments are operating in an orderly manner, providing energy for this massive mechanical beast.

At this moment, a precision component in the core components of the reactor was suddenly damaged without any warning, and the output power of the reactor began to become abnormal.

In the program of the floating fortress, this situation should be reported to the main brain immediately. However, it happened that due to the activation of the annihilation mode, all program anomalies were included in the secondary processing authority, resulting in an inability to respond.

The reactor began to overheat, and then the huge energy barrier covering the entire floating fortress opened, and the reactor completely entered an overloaded state.

At the same time, in this desolate ruin of blessed land, the ubiquitous tide of decaying energy washed over.

The corrupted energy silently mixed into the overloaded reactor, and the dark blue energy was stained with a hint of dark purple filth.

A few seconds later, the reactor turned into a dark blue fireball and exploded like a falling domino. Explosions rang out one after another inside the fortress, and countless energy circuits collapsed in disorder.

The once majestic technological behemoth is now like a trapped beast with broken wings, teetering in the air.

However, the high-tech creation still left enough error redundancy. The exploded reactor was just one of the energy cores of the floating fortress. The remaining energy cores began to take over the floating fortress under the control of the main brain.

Although the main brain reacted promptly, many main guns and fighter jets still fell into brief chaos, and the space force field surrounding the floating fortress was also affected.

Lu Yan finally found an opportunity. His index finger cut through the space and appeared above the floating fortress.

The vitality of heaven and earth was boiling, and countless hot energy particles gathered crazily in the void, as if being pulled by invisible gravity. A radiant fireball slowly took shape in his palm, emitting a heart-pounding high temperature, and the surrounding air was distorted by the extreme heat.

Tiangang·Scorching Sun!

The orange fireball fell towards the floating fortress. The ordinary fireball technique carrying the Tiangang status had completed its transformation and turned into a real little sun.

This is the purest offensive force under the blessing of Tiangang.

The energy barrier that the floating fortress was proud of was as vulnerable as a layer of thin paper in the face of this pure destructive energy.

When this artificial sun hit the floating fortress, the entire ruins of the blessed land seemed to shake.

In an instant, countless dazzling prominences burst out from the surface of the fireball, just like the real surface of the sun, and turned into countless hot energy tentacles that wrapped around the entire fortress. The alloy armor began to turn red under this terrible high temperature, and then slowly melted like a candle.

The wailing sound of metal resounded through the sky. The once indestructible technological fortress was now like being on the surface of the sun. All the solid materials turned into flowing metal liquid under this terrible high temperature. The floating fortress, which was one kilometer in size, had now become a mass of twisted and deformed metal lava.

The fortress, having lost its stable structure, began to tilt and eventually fell to the ground. Scalding metal rained down as it fell, leaving countless charred holes in the wasteland.

With a deafening roar, this technological creation that once dominated the world slammed heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

The floating fortress that could easily kill Jindan cultivators was finally destroyed by Lu Yan. At this moment, he was breathing heavily.

Using the seed of supreme magical power for several times in a row is also a big burden for Lu Yan, but what is more important is the environment of this world.

Every time Lu Yan used a spell blessed by his supreme supernatural power, he would consume a large amount of mana. The thin spiritual energy here was simply unable to support Lu Yan's consumption.

If Lu Yan had not forged the supreme Taoist foundation, the magic power stored in the tenth level of the Taoist foundation far exceeded that of the cultivators of the same level, he would probably have been drained in this battle.

Lu Yan took out a pure white spirit crystal from the storage bag and inhaled the spirit crystal to restore his magic power.

Lingjing is a superior substitute for Lingshi, possessing more and more refined spiritual energy, and is not circulated in ordinary markets at all.

As the 33rd true disciple of Taiyi Sect, Lu Yan receives a generous quota of resources every year. Before starting the version update, Lu Yan advanced ten years' worth of basic resource quota, which included one thousand spirit crystals and a large number of third and fourth level elixirs.

As his magic power, which had been mostly drained, was gradually restored, Lu Yan looked at the metal floating fortress that had been mostly burned by the scorching sun of Tiangang.

The Human Emperor Banner fell into his palm, and Lu Yan drew a trajectory in the void. Then five ghost gods, including the Giant Spirit God, the Blood God, the Guardian God, the Yinli God, and the Qiongyuan God, appeared around Lu Yan.

"See my lord!"

Five ghosts and gods appeared and knelt down to salute. Lu Yan waved his hand and pointed at the floating fortress that was still melting.

"That floating fortress has a main brain. See if you can find it among the wreckage and search for useful information."

Lu Yan did not forget that the essence of the five ghosts and gods is soul computers, so he naturally has his own unique way of dealing with such technological creations.

"As ordered!"

Five ghosts and gods came to the floating fortress and began to search for the main brain of the floating fortress. Relying on the powerful computer of the ghosts and gods, they soon got the results.

Although most of the floating fortress was burned down, part of the main brain still remained and some information could be obtained.

The giant spirit who forcibly plundered information from the floating fortress's main brain reported to Lu Yan.

“This floating fortress comes from the Intelligent City. It is a secondary war fortress of the Intelligent City and is responsible for the daily patrol and cleanup of the ruins of the Dongxuan Blessed Land.

The ruins of the Dongxuan Blessed Land was once one of the bases of the League of Immortals. It was later besieged by several top forces and eventually turned into ruins.

But it is said that there is still a treasure of the Immortal Alliance somewhere in the Dongxuan Blessed Land, which has attracted many immortal cultivators to explore. The first mission of the floating fortress is to kill any immortal cultivator who tries to explore the ruins of the blessed land. "

A hint of understanding flashed across Lu Yan's eyes, and he immediately asked:
"At the beginning of the battle, I heard the floating fortress's mastermind mention the cancer of immortality. What does that mean?"

"Cancer of Immortality? This seems to be the name given to the true disciples of the Immortal Alliance by various forces. The specific reason is not recorded in the remaining intelligent brain."

A huge amount of information flowed in the giant spirit's eyes, and then his expression suddenly changed.

"My Lord, are you sure that the floating fortress uses the name of Immortal Cancer?"

Lu Yan was a little confused, but still nodded and responded: "Yes!"

“The true monks who are classified as the Cancer of Immortality are the top leaders of the Immortal Alliance and also the strongest fighting force of the Immortal Alliance. However, the ruins of the Profound Blessed Land are not in the territory of the Immortal Alliance. They belong to the Intelligent Machinery City and the Kingdom of the Gods.

You are in the territory of a hostile force. If your coordinates are transmitted back to the Intelligent City, they will hunt you down at all costs!"

The Giant Spirit God quickly gave the order to the Sky Abyss God:

"Hurry up and start the space teleportation!"

The fingertips of the God of Qiongyuan cut through the void, and the space crack healed quickly as soon as it appeared. The space force field had already blocked this world silently.

"It's too late!"

In the western sky, three metal floating fortresses, one large and two small, broke through the clouds and descended, their huge shadows covering the earth. Mysterious energy patterns flowed on the alloy armor, and the roar of countless engines was like the roar of ancient beasts, shaking every inch of the void.

In the eastern sky, clouds and mist rolled, and a golden pillar of light that reached the sky and the earth suddenly broke through the clouds. A towering figure appeared in the clouds, and behind him, the faith of thousands of heroic spirits formed into torches, and the power of the gods cleansed the earth.

The intelligent version represented by the Intelligent City and the gods version represented by the Kingdom of Gods have all arrived!
