The incoming golden sword possessed extraordinary power.
Rather than a sword, Bai Ye felt like he was being struck by a series of heavy hammers, constantly impacting the barrier of the demonic field. Each collision was like a hammer blow.
But…
Bai Ye held on!
The Demonic Robe was resilient, and the demonic field's defense was strong. For the blond man, who was the weakest opponent, to injure Bai Ye…
Bai Ye could only attribute it to being countered. Penetrating damage that ignored defense was the most effective counter to the demonic field.
However, the power of the Emperor's golden sword, while terrifying, was immensely greater than the blond man's bullets, but it lacked that effect.
Therefore…
Bai Ye could withstand it!
Bai Ye advanced step by step, moving forward and looking towards Mu Lan.
Mu Lan understood immediately and lunged forward again, directly at the sorcerer, her greatsword sweeping horizontally in a slash against him.
But, the moment of impact…
Countless peony petals drifted down, and red smoke suddenly filled the surroundings.
Mu Lan's sword seemed to have struck the sorcerer, but Mu Lan felt no solid impact.
As expected, in the next instant, the sorcerer's body shattered and merged with the red smoke, drifting forward to beneath the ancient mechanical giant.
"You cannot stop me, because I..." the sorcerer smiled, "have foreseen all!"
As the sorcerer's voice fell, the Heart of Dawn floating in his palm suddenly glowed, and then…
The ancient mechanical giant's eyes began to emit a red light, and its body gradually started to move.
When such a colossal entity moved, it felt like the earth itself was shaking.
The cliff face where the ancient mechanical giant was embedded began to tremble, and long, dragon-like cracks appeared. Immediately after, countless rocks began to roll downwards.
The ancient mechanical giant was still only partially formed, with one arm not yet fully materialized, but…
It had at least one arm!
That arm was raised high and brought down towards the ground.
Even before the fist landed, a gale force wind whipped around, incredibly violent, seeming capable of blowing everything away, forcing even their battles to halt.
Because that punch was too terrifying!
Just by looking at it, one could feel its world-destroying power.
Bai Ye also retreated with a wry smile.
This thing was a complete mecha!
It could be considered an existence of supreme quality, appearing in a mission at this stage was utterly unfair.
Fortunately, Bai Ye had figured out the mission's true objective. If the mission was to find a way to defeat the ancient mechanical giant, then everyone might as well go home and sleep, as there would be no possible solution.
However, the mission's objective was: to prevent the ancient mechanical giant from activating!
Not to stop the ancient giant, but…
To prevent the ancient giant from activating!
At this moment, the massive fist descended, striking directly at the altar.
Everyone quickly scattered in all directions, evading the area covered by the punch.
Rumble!
As the ancient mechanical giant's fist struck, a booming sound erupted.
However, the altar was clearly not constructed from ordinary stone. Despite enduring such a terrifying blow, it did not collapse.
But the entire altar vibrated violently, the vines entwined around it were instantly snapped and slid off in all directions.
Bai Ye quickly regained his footing and shouted, "The Heart of Dawn is the key to activating the ancient mechanical giant!"
Mu Lan wasted no words and shouted again, "Cover me!"
And then…
She charged forward relentlessly!
This was why the elite squad of the Great Wall Guard were willing to trust Mu Lan.
Because she always charged to the very front!
The Emperor watched with a cold gaze, then sneered, extending his arms again. Vast golden ripples reappeared.
Bai Ye wanted to curse. Was that all you had?
But honestly, the power of this move was quite terrifying, and it could be used again every ten seconds. Wasn't that just cheating?
"Get out of the way!" Bai Ye cursed and leaped forward, "You're forcing me to use my ultimate move!"
Bai Ye spread his palm, and a mechanical whirring sound occurred. Then, a metal plate in the center of Bai Ye's palm slid away, revealing a large hole.
Sizzle, sizzle…
A sharp arc of electricity sounded, and on Bai Ye's arm, streaks of azure arcs appeared, constantly flickering!
Magnetic Field Vortex (Creates a magnetic field vortex, drawing in anything within a 15-meter radius and continuously inflicting magnetic damage, especially effective against electronic devices without field protection).
Soon, an electric orb formed from arcs appeared in the center of Bai Ye's palm, and then…
Bai Ye exerted force with a sudden movement!
Crack!
The electric orb was crushed by Bai Ye's grip, and then thousands upon thousands of arcs shot outwards in all directions, darting around erratically.
The magnetic field had taken shape!
Under the effect of the magnetic field, a strong wind immediately began to blow. Centered on Bai Ye, the airflow converged towards him, forming a terrifying tornado intertwined with countless electric currents.
The next second, an immense suction force appeared.
The golden swords that had just shot out from the golden ripples were drawn towards Bai Ye by the magnetic field's suction, then spun along with the airflow.
The golden swords continuously made "crackling" sounds, and cracks appeared on them.
Upon contact with the arcs within the magnetic field, the golden swords suddenly exploded one after another, scattering into countless golden halos that dispersed in all directions.
At the same time…
Kai gripped his crystal blade, Bai Qi forcefully plunged his sickle into the ground, and Miyamoto Musashi and the mysterious swordsman simultaneously stopped, each grasping their weapons.
The worst off was the blond man. He tightly gripped his dual pistols, but his body was still dragged, constantly moving towards the magnetic field, being drawn in bit by bit.
The crushing power of the magnetic field vortex was terrifying. The only drawback was…
It was indiscriminate!
The sorcerer's face, which had been stern and calm, finally showed a hint of unease. His eyes were fixed on the Heart of Dawn in his hand.
The Heart of Dawn was also being affected by the magnetic field vortex, trembling in the sorcerer's hand with a "creaking" sound.
Red mist appeared in the sorcerer's hand, enveloping the Heart of Dawn tightly, preventing it from being sucked into the magnetic field vortex.
But at this moment…
Mu Lan suddenly charged out from the side.
Mu Lan was also being affected by the magnetic field vortex, and she chose to…
Discard her sword!
Then, Mu Lan rushed to the sorcerer's front.
Without a sword…
She still had her fists!
