Chapter 245: Chapter 168: Piercing through the 7th Rank Legend, A Remarkable Blunder Misleading The Nation, Your Majesty_1

In the dark and frigid cosmos,

a massive silvery starship warped space-gravity, traveling at an extraordinary speed toward a distant location.

Even set against the macro starry sky, measured in light-years,

it was “slowly” moving forward, not stationary.

This speed had far exceeded the capabilities of ordinary civilizations, a level that planetary civilizations could only look up to.

During its voyage, the starship’s high-energy cannons on its surface continuously fired high-energy lasers into the darkness behind it.

However, as these lasers swept through the darkness, they all missed their target—

A terrifying life form resembling a demon god Asura with three heads and six arms, its back equipped with six fleshy thrusters spewing blue flames, was pursuing through the darkness.

Its speed was much faster than the starship, steadily closing the distance between them.

When countless high-energy lasers covered the Asura’s body in an attempt to strike,

they all penetrated through as if hitting an alternate space, having no effect whatsoever.

High-energy fluctuations emanated from its body and transformed into language, which the massive starship captured.

“No need to run anymore, because you can’t escape,” it said.

“Come, and fight me head-on,” it said.

“I am short on time,” it said.

In the brief exchange,

the distance between them had closed significantly.

The demon god with three heads and six arms opened its mouths and joined its palms.

From each mouth and palm emerged destructive orbs of light which formed into beams rushing out and striking the surface of the starship!

The energy shield, already on the brink of collapse, shattered completely under the destructive force!

Without its energy shield, the starship’s fragile armor was completely exposed to the monster!

At that moment, the starship made a choice.

Its thrusters activated in the opposite direction, reducing inertia and speed, while the massive body of the starship rapidly reconfigured, swiftly transforming into a giant mecha resembling a human form.

The mecha unsheathed a lightsaber, slashing towards the demon god Asura that was closing in at breakneck speed.

“Hehehehe, so you’ve finally stopped running!” it cackled.

The Asura demon god flew closer, swiftly struck by the mecha.

But just like before, the mecha’s strike had no effect, the blade passing through its body as if it were made of air.

To the average person, it seemed as if it existed in another dimension, having an invincible body.

Only the mecha, with its high agility, could track its movements and understand the principle behind them—

It wasn’t a spatial ability, but actual physical evasion.

The Asura demon god seemed to be able to predict every action of the mecha.

Even high-speed lasers and gravitational slashes, attacks nearly as fast as the speed of light,

it saw through and unraveled their trajectories and processes, evading quickly with the most efficient yet dangerous movements.

Now, it swung a demonic bone blade which, upon contact, extended into a very long chain blade, continuously slicing and tearing through the mecha’s armor, leaving significant gaps.

That was just one attack.

In an instant, the Asura demon god could release thousands, tens of thousands, of such strikes!

The mecha’s futile struggles were ineffective.

In a mere moment, it was dismembered into countless fragmented parts, becoming broken alloy scattered in the cosmic void.

[Eliminating the Sky-Piercing Supreme Mecha, you have obtained Mythical Material: Gravitational Alloy.]

…

[Successfully eliminated the overlord, completing the mythical objective.]

[Number of people who cleared: One]

[Overlord strength: Seven (990 million)]

[Calculating rewards based on known information…]

[You have gained Abyss Crystals: 50,000.]

[You have gained Mythical Material: High-Efficiency Energy Source.]

[You have gained Mythical Item: Star-Slaying Lightsaber.]

[You have obtained the Epic Module: Prismatic Shield (Supercharged).]

[You have obtained the Special Item: Light of Wonders (Bound).]

[Settlement completed, detaching from the abyss in one minute.]

“Even mechanical life has a spirit, leaving traces behind,” it said.

“As long as there are traces, everything is under control,” it said.

The demon god shed its Asura form, revealing Jiang Chen’s true appearance, his expression satisfied.

This Sky-Piercing Supreme Mecha, being a 7th Rank peak-level legendary overlord, naturally possessed legendary traits, particularly ones related to spatial gravity, extremely powerful traits.

Unfortunately for the Supreme Mecha, not only did Jiang Chen possess legendary traits like it, but his overall enhancements were also much higher.

Even with a base attribute of only 160 million, his peak strength far exceeded the Supreme Mecha’s.

It only took a little time for him to easily lay it to rest under his blade.

As for the items it dropped…

Jiang Chen ignored the materials, items, and modules,

his gaze firmly fixed on the last special item.

“As expected, there are hidden rewards even in 7th Rank difficulty!” he exclaimed.

After defeating the Purgatory Asura, Jiang Chen had already obtained the legendary trait he wanted and the six-armed module, but he did not rush to ascend in rank.

After all, he had spent nearly a month to reach this current level of understanding.

How could he rush to break through to a higher rank without grinding at the 7th Rank Legendary Shadow for a while?

Keep in mind, the yield of the Legendary Shadow was unrelated to the mecha pilot, but rather tied to the level of difficulty.

The drop from a 2nd Level Legendary Shadow on 7th Rank corresponded to the drop from a 3rd Level Legendary Shadow on 8th Rank.

When Jiang Chen broke through to 3rd Rank, wanting to farm the highest difficulty would still require more time to settle down again.

It’s better to take advantage now and grind vigorously for a few days.

To test whether the 7th Rank Legendary Shadow had hidden special item drops, just like the 6th Rank [Soul Contract].

“6th Rank difficulty corresponds to a strength a thousand times greater…” he said.

“7th Rank difficulty, on the other hand, is elevated to ten thousand times greater strength!” he exclaimed.
