Chapter 64: Chapter 62 High-Energy Rays Go Better with Hordes of Zombies!_1

Bai Ying worked with high efficiency and quickly put together a complete montage of exciting clips, as well as film footage that met the requirements.

Concerned about the Number Two mecha soul, Jiang Chen reviewed the montage video.

He then personally deleted some of the scenes.

“Remember, Bai Ying, ‘Boruto’ is non-flammable; it just doesn’t heat up,” he said.

“…Understood, my lord,” she replied.

After eliminating the risk at its root, Jiang Chen arrived at the clearing in the middle of the island and reopened the interface of the Age-Old Shadow.

There were a total of one hundred and twenty Age-Old Shadows in Abyss Level 1.

Each represented a different collapsing world and could produce different modules, materials, and items.

Apart from the Abyss difficulty level, almost all outputs from the Age-Old Shadows had been thoroughly explored by mecha pilots, who established corresponding databases for them.

Mecha pilots relied on their understanding of module materials to combine and create many mecha pathways.

At this time, Jiang Chen did not continue to explore the Star of Mutation.

Instead, he opened [Eternal Frost Magic Realm] and selected the Nightmare difficulty level.

“Star of Mutation, I need the drops from the Abyss difficulty level,” he mused.

“But since I can’t clear the Abyss difficulty yet, I might as well explore the Eternal Frost Magic Realm first…”

“As long as I can clear the Hell difficulty level of this Age-Old Shadow, I can get the materials and modules I need to complete Senior Lyle’s request.”

“In the process, I can also solidify my attributes to accumulate strength for clearing the Abyss difficulty level.”

As for the dungeon difficulty he chose to challenge, he went directly from ordinary to Nightmare…

The attributes of the abyss leader at the Nightmare difficulty level were only a bit higher than the “hidden boss” at the ordinary difficulty level.

At most by five or six hundred.

It was just right for Zero to take on the challenge now.

Even if he might be at a disadvantage, at worst, he could just undergo “Nirvana” and still win for sure.

Once the accumulated attributes were high enough, he could even look for the hidden boss and get an early taste of the Hell difficulty level.

[10, 9, 8…]

Jiang Chen clenched his right fist, and surging roots intertwined to emerge.

Transform!

The rift then opened.

[Construction of Age-Old Shadow completed.]

[Welcome to the abyss.]

[Current Location: Eternal Frost Magic Realm]

[Level: 1]

[Difficulty: Nightmare]

[Mission: Within five hours, kill the leader: Frost Bone Giant Dragon.]

[Description: In the Divine Year 2333, the Elf Prince, accused of blasphemy, was executed by the church, and the Elf Kingdom was completely destroyed under the name of heresy.

In the Divine Year 4333, evil spirits revived. The returned dead turned into an Undying Tyrant holding aloft the Sword of Frost, completely enclosing all things in ice, turning the present world into the realm of eternal frost.

He reigns from his throne, guarding his eternal territory.]

[Friendly Reminder: Free exploration, with the option to leave the abyss at any time (requires one minute of preparation time).]

The ice-blue planet was gripped by an unending blizzard.

The snow-covered land was encased in ice, perfectly preserved—

Whether it be trees, flowers, birds, or beasts.

Or the warrior clad in steel armor, fighting fiercely in blood.

On his face remained the final moments of anger and roar, but forever frozen in that instant.

An azure bone claw suddenly descended, shattering the icy sculpture of the warrior into dust.

The owner of the bone claw, a four-meter-tall skeleton beast, raised its head, its eye sockets burning with ice-blue flames, looking in a certain direction.

On the snowy city wall, a dark crack had split open.

A gigantic figure in purple and white descended from the crack, stirring up a flurry of snowflakes.

“Another Age-Old Shadow from the side of Enigmatism…”

“Mainly produces ice and frost themed materials and modules, suitable for mecha pathways that use ice elements.”

“It also yields a small amount of ghostly materials and modules, providing additional pathways and bonuses.”

Jiang Chen looked at the frozen landscape, with relevant information surfacing in his mind.

Ice-themed mechas, actually, can also be a decent path.

In the early stages, they can restrain a multitude of enemies, and as they grow, they can even follow the path of absolute zero, advancing to ice-bound space, ice-bound time…

They have a good match with space and time themes.

It is just a pity that the second mecha is a steam mecha.

It has a higher compatibility with attributes like burning, warmth, heat, and overload.

Even if it is fitted with some cold modules, these are usually used for temperature control, and their compatibility with icy attributes is not high.

While Jiang Chen was still observing, the azure skeletal beast had already arrived in a flurry of snow.

Even though it didn’t know what the purple and white giant was exactly, that didn’t prevent it from sensing the surging life force emanating from it.

To the deceased, this was undoubtedly the most envied and desired thing.

It charged at the purple and white giant, opened its jaw wide, a hint of frost gathered on its fangs, forming sharp spikes, and it viciously bit down!

Crack, crack!

The frost teeth were just about to clamp shut when they halted in mid-air.

The primeval mecha held the upper and lower jaw of the skeletal beast with its left and right hands, forcibly scanning its information.

[Azure Bone Wolf]

[Rank: 1]

[Attributes: Strength 121, Agility 100, Defense 110, Enigmatism 50.]

[Traits: Skeleton creature dominated by the power of corruption after being killed by the Ice Soul Tyrant.

Having stepped into the realm of the dead, they no longer have any fear and will launch attacks at all the living.

Please note, fire can only destroy their bodies, only the Holy Light can purify their souls.]

[Weakness: Holy Light, Soul Fire.]

[Assessment: The most common skeleton creature in the Eternal Frost Magic Realm, not to be underestimated even at Nightmare difficulty level.]

Just a minor foe at Nightmare difficulty level, and all attributes are already over a hundred.

This place remains a forbidden zone that ordinary mecha pilots cannot tread.

Unfortunately, for the current primeval mecha, it’s still fairly fragile.

The primeval mecha’s left and right hands exerted slight force, brutally tearing apart the skeletal beast’s upper and lower jaws, violently dismantling it.

Then, like lightning, its hand reached out and crushed the cluster of flames in the middle of the skull.

As the flame extinguished, the skeletal beast that was about to reassemble lost its support and completely fell apart instantly.

A wisp of abyssal atmosphere flowed into the Abyss Rune.

However, this was just the most common skeleton creature.

At the same time it perished, from the icy ground all around, skeletal frames swiftly rose, connected, and combined into variously shaped skeleton creatures.

There were fierce beasts, flying birds, and even humanoid skeletons.

They seemed to transform into a tide of icy blue, converging on the primeval mecha from all directions.

Facing this situation, the primeval mecha left the ground, floating upwards—

[Bio-organic Force Field].

However, this time the force of the Bio-organic Force Field did not come from an equipped module.

It came from Jiang Chen, inside the primeval mecha.

Long before entering the abyss, Jiang Chen had already replaced a new module for the primeval mecha.

He had changed the [Bio-organic Force Field] to the [Crystal of Divine Punishment].

At this moment, embedded in the brow of the primeval mecha, was a golden crystal like a vertical eye.

With energy being injected, it rapidly brightened, resembling a golden star.

“Holy Light is light; high-energy laser is also light.”

“Holy Light can purify the soul, high-energy laser can also purify the body.”

“Shouldn’t be any difference, right?”

The next moment, the golden star transformed into a high-energy laser, shooting out!

With its immense power, it pierced a straight line through all the skeletons, as well as the Soul Fires within them!

This was not the end.

The primeval mecha turned its head, and its floating form also changed angles accordingly.

The high-energy laser maintained its beam, sweeping horizontally across the tide of icy blue skeletons.

Pale skeletons fell like straw, in large swaths, turning into abyssal atmosphere that furiously surged into the palm.

“Using high-energy beams to clear creeps is simply the best!”
