Nine Region Empire, Mount Wuhua.
The black-robed man sat cross-legged in the air under the deep pit. The ground was covered in blood veins as he frantically urged his spiritual power to resonate with the divine rune armor sealed within the ground.
Wu Ling frowned slightly. âHalf an hour has passed. I donât know if Teacher will make it in time.â Buzz!
However, just as she finished speaking, blood-red light suddenly erupted from the deep pit. It rose with a bang and drowned the black-robed man in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, a terrifying aura swept across the space like a hurricane.
Countless mutated birds and beasts fled frantically under the cover of this terrifying ambience.
âWhat a powerful aura!â Su Youwei was shocked.
âWhat do you think? Teacherâs sealed divine rune armor has 14 layers, with 93 layers of God-level armor. Although the divine runeâs powers had decreased over the years, it should still have at least 20-30 layers.â
âAnd thatâs not all,â Wu Ling chuckled softly. âThis is Teacherâs natal divine rune. If Gu Changqing gets seriously injured, then the empireâs central city will belong to the Supreme Sorcerer Tribe. At that time, you will need to use your human identity to control the core cityâs optical computer.â
The reason why the black-robed man kept Su Youwei by his side was to kill Gu Changqing and use her new human identity to make the core cityâs optical computer recognize her as its master. With this, they could gain complete control over the Blue Star Empireâs central city.
They were from the Supreme Sorcerer Tribe, so they wouldnât be able to enter the core city main buildingâs office.
Shing!
After the bloody light lasted for less than a minute, it gradually faded away.
When it disappeared, the black-robed man, who was sitting cross-legged in the air, had already put on a set of blood-red armor with black magic patterns flowing on its surface. It looked extremely evil and malicious.
The aura emanating from his body made Wu Ling feel oppressed even from six to seven hundred meters away.
âHaha!â
The black-robed man, Wu Xieyan, let out a maniacal laugh that shook the entire sky, âI donât know how many years itâs been, but Iâve finally gotten you back.â
After living for so long, he had never been as happy and excited as he was today.
Wu Ling was also happy from the bottom of her heart. She smiled and said, âTeacher, how many
layers do you have left in your natal divine rune?â
Whoosh!
In a flash, Wu Xieyan appeared in front of the two women. His terrifying aura made them take a few steps back.
âItâS been far too long, so Iâve already fallen to 21 layers in Saint-level. However, it will still be very easy for me to kill Gu Changqing.â
His magnetic voice came out from under his armorâs helmet. After taking back his natal divine rune, he seemed to have become younger.
This was a very normal thing. The higher a divine runeâs level was, the more vast the mental energy there was. Thus, a person could extend their lifespan by much longer.
Mental energy and divine runes had the capability of making a person immortal.
âYes, yes!â Wu Ling smiled. âAlthough itâs a pity its power has decreased, itâs indeed more than enough to deal with Gu Changqing.â
Wu Xieyanâs scarlet eyes flickered as he asked, âHas the battle between Gu Changqing and the Hao Tian Emperor-armored robot ended?â
Wu Ling shook her head as she replied, âThereâs no way to see through the live stream, so we donât know.â
âSince itâs like this, Iâll go to the core city myself to take a look.â
Wu Xieyan was extremely confident now. Although his divine runeâs power had dropped by a lot, he could quickly recover it if he was given some time.
Immediately, he brought the two women as he rushed to the Blue Star Empireâs central city as quickly as possible.
In the core city, after Gu Changqing killed the two rats from the Sea Clan, he came to where the robotâs body was.
Its mechanical remains were spread on the ground in a mess.
Gu Changqing waved his hand, and a small seal flowing with golden light in the robotâs heart landed in his palm. It sometimes turned into a divine rune while sometimes changing into a set of armor.
There was no doubt that the Hao Tian Emperor armor was powerful. If he didnât use the Luo Hou Divine Rune, Gu Changqing wouldnât have been able to kill it.
The Blue Star Empire had designed the core cityâs entrance to be way too difficult to get through.
Gu Changqing only knew that this divine rune was very strong, but he did not know that it was the Blue Star Empireâs second-ranked divine rune, the Hao Tian Emperor Divine Rune.
Putting away the divine rune, he took a deep breath as he finally took down the empireâs core city.
He was very interested in the divine rune that belonged to the empireâs ruler.
Immediately, he headed to the core city, Daxia, at his fastest speed.
A 600-story building stood out in the center of the city.
Two huge blue-gold rings enveloped the area, emitting a dangerous light.
Outside the door, there were two tier-30 robots.
Seeing Gu Changqing arrive, their electronic eyes swept past him.
When they realized that it was a new human, they did not attack.
Gu Changqing had already dispersed his tattered armor. His battle with the Hao Tian
Emperor-armored robot was the most difficult battle he had ever fought.
The divine runes would not be damaged unless it was hit by overly heavy force or exploded. It could only be repaired by absorbing the pure energy contained in a divine crystal core.
He sized up the two robots guarding the gate, then quickly entered the empireâs core city, Daxia.
Buzz!
Gu Changqing had just stepped in when a burst of data light surged in front of him and transformed into a virtual woman wearing a grayish -black tight-fitting dress. Her appearance and figure were very nice.
She smiled at Gu Changqing. âHello, my name is Xiao Ai. You are the first new human to come here. Congratulations!â
Gu Changqing glanced at her and said, âTake me to the main office.â
She smiled. âAlthough you have defeated the robot wearing Hao Tian Emperor armor, you must pass our precise test. You can only enter the main office that represents the empireâs pinnacle if you pass the potential index required.â
âThen take me to the test,â Gu Changqing said disappointedly.
âAlright, please stand here.â
Xiao Ai came to the hall on the first floor. After bringing over an arc-shaped machine, she motioned for Gu Changqing to go up.
Gu Changqing didnât waste his breath. He stepped onto the machineâs platform according to her instructions.
Shing!
As he came up, the circular instrument emitted a soft blue light that slowly swept across his body.
It lasted for about a minute before it ended.
Di di diâ
At the same time, on the screen above the circular instrument, a series of beeping sounds suddenly sounded, followed by a few lines of words:
[Race: New Human]
[Genre: Male]
[Potential index: 11253 stars (Unprecedented! The first person to reach this in the universe!)]
[Divine Inscription: Emperor Dragon Demonic armor! The rest of the divine runes could not be detected!] [Grade: Emperor Dragon Demonic Armor- tier-12, Divine level!]
âThisâ¦â
When Xiao Ai saw the string of numbers on the potential index accumulated, she was stunned on the spot and couldnât down for a long time.
Although she was an artificial intelligence, she had all the thoughts that a human should have.
â11,000 stars shouldnât be considered a small amount, right?!â
Gu Changqing, who didnât know the inside story, appeared very calm as he walked down from the stage and asked, âWell? Do I have the qualifications to enter the main office?â
Xiao Ai came back to her senses and quickly said, âYes, definitely! If you donât have the qualifications, then there wouldnât be any living being in the universe who can enter.â
âSir, please!â
After saying that, she gestured to the elevator.
Gu Changqing was indifferent and silent as he walked inside it.
