Chapter 576: Mobile Storm

Green, endless green.

This was a different dimension named Pandora by Number One. In the dimension, towering green plants could be seen everywhere. Various insect creatures traveled quickly between the trees; they were deliberately and secretly placed there by the Founding Society to destroy the dimension.

The destruction of a world didn’t require the use of artillery or bombs. If there were more than a dozen fast-breeding creatures in the world without natural enemies, they could quickly occupy a world and eventually destroy it.

The disconnection of food chains was the key to the destruction of the world.

Scientists always employed the simplest and most effective way to accomplish their goals.

But this time, the Founding Society’s method did not bring any effect. The Queen Bee was like a god of this world. Before the dimension was bombed for the first time, its seniors had devoured countless creatures.

When the Founding Society released a creature in this space, the Queen Bee would produce hundreds of different creatures to make up a food chain, acting as a counter to the creatures let in by the Founding Society.

The more species the Founding Society released, the more the Queen Bee produced.

When the production of creatures with combat power wasn’t needed, there was almost no discomfort for the Queen Bee’s body.

In the end, dozens of creatures released by the Founding Society became part of a rich world. These alien creatures did not cause any serious damage to the environment, but rather, integrated into the food chain.

Qin Fen was suspended at the top of a tree, impressed by the huge jungle — its edge could not be seen. The scientists of the Founding Society were indeed crazy to be able to create such a magical world.

Dong… dong… dong… dong… dongdongdongdong…

Sounds of heavy metals hitting the ground rang out repeatedly. A hundred of purely maneuvering fighting robots appeared in the jungle with two hundred of their red detection lights sweeping around and scanning bio-energy.

Lin Liqiang smiled and sat on the shoulder of a motorized fighting robot, curiously looking at the magical world that he never really entered.

Du Peng placed his arms around his chest and looked at the surroundings.

Brooks carried an unsheathed broad saber and curiously looked around the magical dimension of Pandora.

Number One ‘watched’ both teams in the projection screen and found that it was increasingly unable to understand the ideas of the younger generations.

This time, the young men who entered the new dimension Pandora were all powerful martial artists within the Federation. They should know better about the powerful and dangerous nature of Pandora.

Separated fingers were never as powerful as a clenched fist. The simple truth that was clear to even three-year-olds were ignored by these young men, as they split up into two teams and entered two different territories of different Devil Marshalls.

Why are they taking such risks? Number One couldn’t understand. As a scientist whose modus operandi was to effectively destroy the enemy, it couldn’t understand what these martial artists were thinking.

Two hundred mobile fighting robots were equally distributed to two young men who possessed the mental power.

Hiss… hiss…

Among the waist-length grass in the woods, the sounds of moving creatures could be heard from time to time. A lone-wolf as strong as a tiger with the height of half a man sprung from the grass, aiming at Qin Fen’s throat with its sharp fangs as white, foamy spit dripped from its mouth.

Hoo!

A large pillar of fire rose beside Qin Fen. Before the lone-wolf could even scream, it landed on the ground in the form of pieces of broken charcoal. None could recognize that this was once a lone-wolf with the power of a human with five-star strength.

“Ha! The fighting robots may be expensive, but they are really useful.” Lin Liqiang exclaimed while admiring the heated mouth of the fighting robot that could carbonize its target with its flame.

Qin Fen scanned the carbonized creatures on the ground and nodded agreeably. With mental power controlling the fighting robot, its power was indeed amplified. It was too bad the cost was still exorbitant.

A sophisticated and powerful fighting robot possessing high lethality and high-tech weaponry was more efficient than a reaper’s scythe. Unfortunately, the costs were too high, and a direct hit from an armor-piercing round could immediately render the machine permanently out of commission.

How much does an armor-piercing round cost? No matter how expensive it was, it’d be a thousand dollars comparing to ten thousand dollars.

But how much does a well-made fighting robot equipped with the best firepower need? How much time and labor does it require in its production? Such machinery might be suitable and useful in attacking the creatures of Pandora, but it was still unknown if the current Queen Bee had already created a specialized creature to counter the fighting robot.

Stepping on the carbonized body, Qin Fen quickly moved forward without bothering to hide his tracks. The Queen Bee was practically the master of this world. While the humans monitored the dimension with their satellites, the Queen Bee had produced a worm that attached to the roots beneath the earth.

When humans invaded this dimension, their arrival would be reported to the local leading devil beasts firsthand. According to the inferences made by Number One, these worms could even form a projection-like image to convey information to the devil beast leaders to assist them in their judgment in requesting support.

“Qin Fen… Qin Fen… your presence is known by the Devil Marshal in the area. After a brief consideration, they did not issue a request for reinforcements. Instead, they quickly gathered their team and are headed towards your direction.”

Number One sent the information it learned through the projection screen to Qin Fen’s headphones as soon as possible.

“The area you entered is the scythe Devil Marshal area.”

Scythe Devil Marshal? Qin Fen quickly recalled the basic information collected by the Number One on the scythe Devil Marshal.

The scythe devil beasts are three meters tall with both arms shaped like a sharp scythe that can cut through super alloys easily. It can also be divided into a weapon similar to the nine-section whip. It possesses an attacking style that incorporates both strength and agility, as well as possessing hard and sharp teeth that can easily crush space alloys. The four legs on its lower body enable it to move at high speed. Complemented with the eight eyes on its head that could assess the situation at every angle, this bloodthirsty monster was extremely dangerous.

They are led by two Devil Generals, the lion-scorpion chimeras. They can walk upright or on all fours. They also possess sharp claws and fangs, as well as a scorpion tail as hard as steel and imbued with strong venom – its favorite form of attack.

While the small scythe beasts were similar in shape with the scythe devil beasts, they were slightly weaker.

Rumble… rumble… rumble…

The earth began to vibrate, and the birds that perched on the trees flew into the air. A wave of wild murderous intent filled the air, passing through layers of woods, drowning everything around them with the murderous aura, eventually shrouding Qin Fen and the others.

More than a dozen large trees collapsed, and the fighting robots quickly stacked these trees into a temporary combat fort equipped with six-barrel Gatlings, the Smiling version of metal storms, flamethrowers, nitrogen launchers, and sulfuric acid sprays…

A variety of different weapons placed at different positions formed a special crossfire. Small missiles were revealed at the back armor of the fighting robots.

Qin Fen stared in amazement. These things were useless against top masters, but they play an important role in fending against the incoming devil beasts army.

If there is a decisive conflict in the future between the two major dimensions, it would likely result in a genocide! The defeated will, in all likelihood, be annihilated by the victor.

The defeated side will naturally make a counterattack on a heaven-breaking scale before they die. At that moment, regardless of whether it be divine beast martial artists or myself, all of us will be facing against the top-ranking devil beasts of the devil beast army, there’ll be absolutely no time for us to take care of the low-level devil beasts.

The only ones that could fight them were human warships, airplanes, mobile armors, various military personnel, and even civilians.

The madness of those devil beasts was incomprehensible, and it was hard to say that they wouldn’t rush into the human world. These fighting robots would become an irreplaceable combat power.

The vibration on the ground was getting stronger and stronger. Qin Fen saw the first wave of beasts rushing out of the woods and was shocked. An elephant covered in scales! There were also lances resembling the needles of porcupines growing on both sides of the body, except they were much larger than the needles on the porcupines. Each of the lances was all half a person long, its sharpness sufficient enough to pierce through steel.

“This is… a biological tank?”

Qin Fen looked at the giant elephant who was running at high speed. These creatures were not recorded in the database of the brain. They were not only physically evolved, their minds were also evolved.

The same had been done in the way of human warfare. Mechanization complemented the assault of infantry, with the tanks acting as the main force.

Weren’t these giant elephant devil beasts the tanks of the past and the mobile armor of today? Do the monsters beside them not resemble human infantry?

“Queen Bee… it’s terrible…” Qin Fen looked at the assault in front of him and once again sighed, thinking about the biological world of this new dimension. They simply did not make any production and living materials. There was no such social class.

This was a completely militarized expansion of the special biological world. All the ways in which they evolved were all developed toward attack, battle, and destruction.

If such a biological group broke through the new dimension Pandora, even if the human world wasn’t defeated, we would still suffer from great damage and even our technology advancement would deteriorate.

“Mechanization!” Lin Liqiang raised his hand and wiped off his drool, “These are specimens worth studying! Thank God for letting me have this kind of encounter!”

Ka ka… ka ka… ka ka…

Hundreds of fighting machines collectively adjusted their attack position. Lin Liqiang suddenly opened his arms and screamed, “Open fire!”

For a moment, the sound of guns and screams filled the entire forest.

The rage of the metal storm tore through the field with the continuous firing of Gatling guns, the spraying of high-temperature flamethrowers, and the repeated bombardment of missiles. In an instant, the onslaught of the devil beast army was stalled.

The devil beasts living in the new dimension obviously didn’t think that the opponents they were facing were completely different from the previous ones. These shots were so accurate that they didn’t hit their scales at all, but instead, went for their weakness: their eyes. They were cold-blooded, efficient, and without emotions.

A sharp arrow the length of half a person shot out to the metal fighting robots, causing them to reflexively lift up their arms to block them. When the arms were pierced, they would eject the rocket at their shoulders, using their arms as rockets, and launched into the crowd of devil beasts and detonating it.

The devil beasts were originally a group of beasts that feared no death or injury. However, this was their first time realizing that their enemies were even more fearless of death and injury.

In just a dozen breaths, the beasts at the front of their teams were annihilated by Lin Liqiang’s fighting robots in a machine-fueled storm.

Angry roars shook the woods. Qin Fen felt that the front-moving devil beasts were spreading, forming an encirclement, resembling the process of making dumplings.

“Qin Fen, that is the language of the beast.” The voice of Number One came through the headset, “Just now, the scythe Devil Marshal ordered that you — the prey — should be kept alive as long as possible for the Queen Bee to consume and produce a stronger beast.”

“Is that so?” Lin Liqiang smiled. “I don’t just need specimens that are alive. I also want dead ones.”

Another roar was followed by three huge figures breaking through the woods and into the sky. The backs of two dark shadows spread open wings as transparent as a dragonfly’s, with the center of the unfolding wing resembling a beautiful butterfly. They might look soft and powerless, but they were extremely fast in flight!

“They can evolve a lot of abilities, and they can learn the martial dao of humans, but…” Number One spoke with a hint of ridicule, “No one besides the Queen Bee can learn the Wukong Technique. So there are various kinds of wings to aid them in flying.”

Qin Fen looked up at the scythe devil beast with wings as beautiful as a butterfly’s. He could feel the fierce, murderous rage and overwhelming power from thousands of meters away.

“That is the scythe devil beast?” Qin Fen readied his fists with fighting intent rising in his heart. The aura shield in his body was rising rapidly, his heart beating loudly from the pumping of blood, like the beating of war drums before a battle in ancient times.

“Is it still not possible? I still can’t attain the Celestial Aura shield?” Qin Fen frowned and looked at his icy, jade-like body, “Even with this compression and condensation I still can’t attain the Celestial Aura shield? If Tagatha could do it this way, why can’t I? Rolling in a whirlpool stance, integrating the martial dao with the true energy of the Ground Aura, transforming it into a rope to constrain and tighten…”

“Old Qin…” Brooks put his hand on the saber handle and smiled at the sky toward the scythe devil beasts, “Today, I will give you the big one. When we return, you have to spend money and treat me to a meal! Although I don’t lack money, I can feel a sense of accomplishment if I can get you to treat me for a meal. After all, treating us to a meal with your character makes us feel better.”

Spend money? Character? Qin Fen looked at the sky and laughed at the three-meter-high scythe devil beast. Yes, character! My character is different from Tagatha’s. His method might not be suitable for me. At this point, even the masters do not dare to share too much of their thoughts with me to enlighten me. Or else, I will surely end up eventually following their old path.

Spending money! Yes! How is the contraction of Divine Boxing a child’s play? Qin Fen smiled and slowly lifted off, opening his arms to shoot out the compressed power around him!

Diffusion! Expansion! Qin Fen felt that his strength did not rose too much, yet the Ground Aura Shield of his martial dao was changing rapidly. The Ground Aura impacted every inch of his skin.

The sound of his heartbeats became even louder. The blood in Qin Fen seemed to be flowing from dozens of hundreds of faucets. His blood flowed like a high tide. His thick blue veins bulged repeatedly as his skin turned black and blue, and later to fiery red. Eventually, his skin color turned into a faint golden color, as the bones bulged open in an instant.

Pulling the bones to support the muscles! Qin Fen released his power limitlessly, growing his long-stagnant height by three meters, as if he was a real mobile armor!

The Celestial Aura Shield was released from his body and rose to the sky! The arcane flames shot majestically in the sky! In an instant, Qin Fen became more of a devil beast than a real devil beast, resembling a demon who appeared by breaking through the limits of space.

The eight eyes of the scythe Devil Marshal blinked repeatedly. It couldn’t understand how a human being could transform like this in a blink of an eye? Moreover, it had a rush to worship that human for his aura of power!

On the ground, half of the devil beasts that were about to attack knelt to the ground and bowed!

Number One couldn’t believe what it saw through the projection screen. Qin Fen was undeniably good, but his might is definitely incomparable to Qilin.

These devil beasts did not even bow down to Qilin’s might even in the human world, the time when he was at his strongest state! What on earth happened this time?

Aoooooo… the scythe Devil Marshal roared with rage. The kneeling beasts on the ground rose up shakily; they were demoralized and were unable to fight on.

“This is Divine Boxing?” Lin Liqiang shook his head repeatedly, “No matter how I look at it, it was just like Arcane Boxing? The Old Qin today was more like the great demon king ascending from the depths of hell… if he is a god, I’m afraid the only distinguishable part would be his single white wing?”

With full strength, Qin Fen’s God-Demon Body opened its black and white wings, complementing the sky-piercing Celestial Aura. The invincible expansion of power swept and shrouded every inch of space around.

“Can’t let Old Qin grab all the limelight.” Brooks pulled out his broad saber, his eyes filled with countless deep feelings, “Beyond the blade, there is none other! I can feel that I am connected to your blood!”

The earth shook, the dust rose. Brooks became one with his blade, forming a lightning bolt!

Swift! Quick! Fast!

Number One’s various electronic high-tech cameras couldn’t see the actions of Brooks, only catching a faint phantom, and the lightning-like shadow crossed with the scythe devil beasts. His saber had returned to his scabbard, and his body spurted a bloody fog, completely covering himself.

Puff puff…

The scythe beast turned its head, intending to check out the opponent that managed to get behind him so quickly, only to find that its head was severed from its body; within the next second, its body was sliced into eight pieces, its head split into two halves.

Is this… death? The last thought of the scythe beast flashed across its mind as its body broke.

Qin Fen looked at Brooks in the air and his eyes twitched a little. Killing the scythe devil beast didn’t require him to suffer many injuries. In fact, he doesn’t need to suffer any injury at all. However, he did it for the sake of his breakthrough, putting his life on the line for the results.

The saber pointed to Qin Fen from the air! Brooks laughed hysterically in the sky!

I would rather die before I allow you, Qin Fen to have a bigger power gap with me!

Qin Fen clearly accepted the information conveyed by his companions. Just from the way of attacking and the unique way of betting on everything, he saw that it was a way for Brooks, who had experienced the trip of Saturn and the battle of the Stadium, to prove his inference of martial dao with his life on the line.

Fortunately, he gambled on everything to infer and got what he wanted.

“Du Peng, my general shall fight.” Qin Fen shouted in response to Brooks gambling everything. He flapped his godly and demonic wings, propelling his body to sweep towards the monster.

The eyes of the scythe Devil Marshal suddenly spun, its wings opened to the sides. Both arms instantly turned into blade whips and locked on to Qin Fen while the air transformed drastically in an instant.

Gravity! The hidden ability of the scythe Devil Marshal was to change the atmospheric pressure! Between masters, this ability could be game-changing at the right moment!

Qin Fen chuckled. Any little trick in front of God is useless! He put an arc around his body with his hands, his arms pulling inward like a net collecting fish in the water. It was firm and fierce and soft at the same time, realizing the essence of Wind with the Clouds.

At the moment of expansion, Qin Fen had understood too much. The Divine Boxing of the past was always focused on integrating the world’s martial dao into its own, creating a martial arts technique similar to the Martial Arts Handbook created by the martial arts masters; God is all-encompassing and therefore should accommodate everything.

This has always been the idea of Qin Fen, but at that moment, Qin Fen suddenly understood through Brooks’s inadvertent sentence.

Why does one need to integrate all martial daos together to form a new sect? If God can accommodate everything, then any martial dao could be Divine Boxing, wouldn’t that be the true meaning of Divine Boxing? Wasn’t stubborn integration one of the many pillars of Divine Boxing?

Thousands of days of study cultivated into this moment of enlightenment. Qin Fen’s boxing stance was wide and massive yet intricate; his arms as healthy and agile as a dragon. The way of Heaven was imbued in his moves, locking both scythe arms directly with his hands.

“Child’s tricks!”

Qin Fen’s style Wind with the Clouds broke the attack of the scythe beast. With a roar from his mouth and the straightening of his spine, Qin Fen’s fist landed a critical hit on the opponent’s head.

His comment sounded grand yet not violent. Men and beasts on the field could clearly hear the words ringing across with heavenly majesty.

This punch was also the strongest Investiture of the Gods made by Qin Fen. At this powerful moment, only the Investiture of the Gods could be a worthy tribute to Brooks.

Bang bang! Boom!

The scythe beast’s shoulders exploded twice, blowing off both of the whip-like arms and growing two human arms from the shoulders! This was its ultimate killer move!

However, it had no chance to ambush Qin Fen. As it felt the power of the Investiture of the Gods, it quickly readied its arms.

It originally intended to break off its scythe arm and ambush Qin Fen with its killer move as Qin Fen was focused on the scythe arm. However, it did not expect Qin Fen to break its move from the first shot, let alone expect Qin Fen to be able to produce a heavy shot that was as quick as lightning.

The eight eyes of the scythe beast were clear. Qin Fen’s fist shrouded and suppressed everything from top to bottom. The fist was huge and sturdy and three times bigger than the beast’s head, exuding the mastery of heavenly and earthly powers.

It was the most surprising for the scythe beast that Qin Fen’s shot had compressed the air around it, as if the gravitational force around it was strengthened by dozens of times!

The fist was as heavy as a mountain and as quick as lightning, as if the actions of the scythe beast were predicted. As it was unable to escape the amplified force, there is no other way but to take the punch head-on.

Aoooooo…

The scythe beast gave its all and lifted its arms to block the fiercest bombardment by Qin Fen.

When the arm collided with the fist, the scythe beast felt that it could no longer fly; its body fell to the ground at an alarming speed.

Rocks, mud, and dust rose to the sky.

The impact of the fist and the point of impact of the scythe beast had produced a sizeable crater. It laid on the center of the crater and realized that its arm that could easily tear apart metal warships was shattered!

There was not much time to think. The scythe beast’s abdomen burst; its whole body was smashed and turned into a pile of meat sauce in a matter of seconds.

“This…” Number One looked at the contents of the projection but still couldn’t believe what it saw. The Devil Marshal that was evaluated by Qilin to be able to go toe-on-toe with an apex level constellation warrior was killed by Qin Fen with just a punch? Was he really the top martial artist of the new generation just like he said?
