Chapter 534 - 535: 534: The Hidden Poison



Bai Hongtu treated it as a formidable enemy, these weapons were extremely powerful, enough to bother those in the Body Integration Realm.

The novices didn’t know the power of these weapons, nor did they need to, because Emperor Jiang Li was there.

Bai Hongtu burst into wild laughter, blocking all the attacks: “Hahaha, don’t be afraid. As long as I and Jiang Li are here, even if a being of the Primordial Chaos Immortal realm makes a move, none of you will get injured.”

Jiang Li glanced at Bai Hongtu, “When the time comes, you’ll probably have to stand alongside the novices.”

Seeing that the attack was ineffective, the Machine King launched a new round of attack.

Radiation, lasers, supersonic waves, electromagnetic waves… Attacks in various forms of energy emerged in an endless stream.

“These are not as powerful as the Mimicking Sun Bullets and the Annihilation Cannons.” Jiang Li shook his head.

If those in the Body Integration Realm don’t possess the tri-unity characteristic, and simply rely on physical defense, they would struggle to withstand the high temperature of the Mimicking Sun Bullet and the positive and negative annihilation reaction of the Annihilation Cannon.

If the Mimicking Sun Bullets or Annihilation Cannons landed on the heads of the sixth-level zombies, even they would suffer.

However, attacks like radiation and lasers have little effect on those in the Body Integration Realm.

Jiang Li ignored these attacks, leisurely walking towards the Machine King, his manner suggesting a casual stroll after dinner.

The Machine King hurriedly retreated, pulling out a button from his pocket. The entire metropolis moved like a sentient creature, the streets rising like octopus arms, the ground shifting, buildings malleable like rubber clay, becoming a part of a giant machine. The army willingly merged into the city, turning into electronic components.

Seeing the roads also beginning to change under his feet, Bai Hongtu quickly led the novices out of the city and into the outskirts.

From afar, they saw the city dust-strewn, with blinking red lights, as though some ancient life which had been dormant was now awakening.

“This city is the most potent weapon of our Forging Machinery World. No one can survive under its attack!” The Machine King laughed wildly as he, too, merged into the city, assuming control of the entire city as its core.

The city turned into a mechanical octopus.

Through the thick dust, the novices could clearly hear what the Machine King was saying.

“Just a casual swing of my eight mechanical arms and even the mountains would be razed to half their height!”

“The lasers on my arms can heat up to a temperature so high that even the sun would look pale in comparison!”

“I also possess a gravitational field. Any attack that nears me will lose its power under the tenfold gravity and fall to the ground!”

“If I wish to, I can excavate through the entire continent in half a day’s time!”

“With just a casual launch of a bomb on my part, the shockwave could cause the entire continent to tremble slightly!”

“What can you possibly use to fight me!”

As the dust settled, the giant octopus was lying on the ground like a dead dog.

The novices looked at each other. They felt they seemed to have missed some process in between.

Jiang Li pulled the Machine King out.

The Machine King sat solemnly.

“Let’s have a chat about what exactly is happening in this world and why all the clones are of the same person.”

At the underground base, Jiang Li noticed that the source of all the clones was the same person, a man.

Meaning all the robots in the Forging Machinery World were male.

The Machine King sighed, “That’s why I said I’m envious of your Nine Continents World. You have powerful individual strenghts and long lifespans. I have also heard that in your world there are those in the Mahayana Realm who can live for 100,000 years.”

Jiang Li pointed at himself, “What a coincidence, I’m in the Mahayana Realm.”

The notion that those in the Mahayana Realm could live for 100,000 years was spread by Immortal Watch Longevity. He claimed that individuals of the Mahayana and Earth Immortal realms could live for 100,000 years.

Facing the genuine article, the Machine King no longer felt any jealousy, all he had left was a bitter smile: “100,000… Our history is not even 100,000 years long.”

“In the beginning, we only replaced some organs with mechanical ones without planning to enter an era of global mechanization. Some advocated becoming robots, but more opposed the idea. After becoming a robot, one loses the five senses. Who would want to live such life? But there was one event that forced us to comply.”

“What happened?” Bai Hongtu moved closer.

The Machine King spoke solemnly, “According to historical records, 12,000 years ago, we lost our fertility.”

“The event was both sudden and odd. Even now, we can’t figure out the cause. Women lost their fertility and all seeds in storage were wiped out in a single night, as if someone had manipulated it all.”

“The process of losing fertility lasted about one month. During this period, the ancients tried everything they could, but they found no solution.”

“At this point, those who proposed the idea of the global mechanization era stood up, calling it a divine opportunity, decreeing that the heavens had predetermined that all of humanity should become robots.”

“The ancients had no other choice, and it took them nearly a generation to complete the transition from human to robot. They preserved human bodies, or rather, corpses, to serve as clone samples.”

“But then there was another problem.”

“Some kind of disease spread among all humans, causing the body to collapse, making it impossible to clone. We could not explain the phenomenon but we did what we could, naming the disease the Cloning Illness.”

“In the end, as you saw underground, all that was left of the Forging Machinery civilization was that one clone sample.”

“The history was too strange and eerie. Generation after generation of leaders chose to conceal the truth, letting people believe that they were born robots.”

“Babies don’t have memories until they are two years old, so we extract their souls when they are one and place them into robot bodies.”

“Perhaps because their bodies are machines but their souls are still human, the public always favors vibrant life forms. For example, the zoo is the most popular place for people to go. And the rise of skin replacement shops is yet another proof of the subconscious belief of the people that they are human.”

Jiang Li frowned. This world was already in a precarious state. If the final clone sample became unclonable as well, all the robots of this entire world would be destroyed.

At this moment, the Great Confucian Word Post and the Sect Master of the Elixir Sect, Huang Chengdan, hurried over.

The city transforming into a mechanical octopus had caused quite a commotion. One man, one tool had rushed over after hearing the distress call.

“Human Emperor, Bai Sect Master,” Huang Chengdan bowed in respect, guessing that the disciples of the sect were in danger and had summoned Emperor Jiang Li and Bai Sect Master.

“Conveniently, I have discovered something new in this world that I wanted to discuss with the Human Emperor.”

“What discovery?”

“I found that the Forging Machinery World is hiding a virus that causes infertility in females and slow death in non-cultivators, destroying bodies, making them un-preservable.”

Jiang Li repeated to Huang Chengdan what the Machine King had said.

“I don’t understand much about cloning, but from the function of the poison, it could indeed lead to an inability to replicate the body.”

“This is very similar to a kind of poison hypothesized by Five Poisons Immortal, the founder of our Elixir Sect. The poison hides in the air and is very secretive. If one does not have related knowledge, it would be difficult to find any abnormalities, even with Divine Sense.”

“Five Poisons Immortal said that if he were to become a Heavenly Immortal, he could manufacture such poison.”

Known as the Black Medicine Sect in the past, the Elixir Sect was a renowned sect that specialized in poisons. As the sect’s master, Huang Chengdan had a deep understanding of the nature of poisons.

“Is there any way to counter this poison?”

“Yes. As long as one cultivates Qi into the body, entering the Qi Cultivation Stage, the poison will naturally dissipate.”
