A bright scan shot towards their location, attempting to reveal Yue Zhong's silhouette.
"I cannot reveal Bai Yi's existence!"
With a thought, Yue Zhong revealed himself and dashed towards the 4 Mechs like a flash of lightning. In just a breath, he had appeared in front of them and pointed out with his fingers. He pierced through their heads and dug out their smart chips, destroying them immediately.
After killing those 4 Mechs, Yue Zhong continued straight into the inner parts of the palace like a shooting star.
Inside the palace, numerous alloy doors slammed shut, intending to impeded Yue Zhong's advance.
Hong!
Yue Zhong sent a fist each time, and it was like the door had been blasted by TNT, instantly revealing huge holes. He continued through the doors immediately.
Under his relentless fists, the multiple doors swung down only to be destroyed by him, not even impeding him in the slightest.
As he passed a tunnel, he rounded the corner, only to be faced with over a thousand Mech Gobbler Ants, that were capable of tearing a Type 8 Mutant Beast into pieces.
Each of them was able to swallow a single Type 5 Mutant Beast on their own, with over a thousand in a horde, they were able to pick a Type 7 clean.
As Mech Gobbler Ants flew towards Yue Zhong, he reached out with his hands to slap and caused the God-Devil Flames to burst out and envelop them.
The defense of these Mech Gobbler Ants was insane, as it was tough to even for a Type 7 powerhouse to break through. However, under the golden God-Devil Flames, they quickly melted into useless puddles of liquid metal.
In a flash, the entire horde was melted, leaving only liquid metal on the floor.
Yue Zhong continued to pass through the tunnel, running further into the palace.
He asked Bai Yi, "How is it? Where is the treasury? Are you able to find it out?"
Bai Yi responded swiftly, "Based on my calculations there is a 65% likelihood that the treasury is in the center of the palace. The probability of it being in other places are very low.
The cells of the Mech Kingdom was incredible, as they could configure their shape and size, thus Bai Yi made use of the frame that she was in to transform into a patch of skin that stuck onto Yue Zhong's right arm.
"Then I shall just bulldoze right through it!"
A resolute glint appeared in Yue Zhong's eyes as he charged towards the center of the palace, there was already no room for retreat
This time round, there was a Type 9 powerhouse helping to take on most of the attention and pressure, with the countless species rioting out there, that was how Yue Zhong could infiltrate the place smoothly. It was his only chance to get everything and escape.
"Quick, block him!!"
"C2 area has been destroyed!"
"General Dorzim has been destroyed!!"
"The 7th Squad has been destroyed!!"
"..."
Yue Zhong leaped through many corridors, annihilating the waves of Mechs and Mech Beasts that were deployed to attack him. Not one of them could handle a single hit, and inside the palace, it was like a tiger had been set loose.
After destroying many enemies and passing through many corridors, he finally came to the center of the palace.
There was only one man who stood alone, tall and burly, his face sharp and resolute.
Yue Zhong took a look at that man and his gaze narrowed. He could sense a terrifying pressure and danger, "You're a Type 8 expert?"
Yue Zhong did not think that there would still be a Type 8 powerhouse guarding here.
After all, outside this palace, the Young Star-Lord was currently fighting the Type 8 Phoenix Wings Lord. Based on his estimations, there should not be any more Type 8 powerhouses left to defend.
The burly man had a cold look as he spoke imposingly, "That's right, I am Ape Lord Titus! Human, you dare barge into the Holy Palace, it is a grave sin! You can surrender now, and I'll give you the chance to redeem yourself. As long as you quell the rebellion and gain enough contributions, I can make you a Lord over the humans, commanding millions of slaves, killing them or toying with them as you wish. If not, when I subdue you, I will tear you limb from limb, and feed you to the wild dogs!"
"Haha! Just based on you? If the Mech Emperor himself was to appear, then it would be likely. Your strength is still far from it!"
Yue Zhong laughed coldly, and shot forward, sending his fist punching towards the Type 8 Ape Lord Titus.
With his Second Order God-Devil Body, Yue Zhong's physique was his most powerful weapon. Currently, as long as he did not stand in the center of a nuclear blast, he would not even suffer the slightest of harm. His combat strength was truly astounding and almost on par with gods.
If it had been Earth before the apocalypse, with Yue Zhong's current strength, it would be possible for him to call himself a god and subdue the entire planet.
The Type 8 Ape Lord Titus snorted coldly and had a look of ridicule. He did not dodge or evade, instead, the muscles on his right hand trembled and shot out suddenly, tearing a huge rip in space as it punched towards Yue Zhong. He wanted to use his own strength to destroy Yue Zhong's self-confidence, "A mere Type 7 Divine Warrior and you want to challenge me, a Type 8? Truly ignorant!!"
Both fists met and with a loud explosion, the resulting shockwave blasted outwards in all directions, before the right fist of Ape Lord Titus disintegrated and scattered in many pieces.
The Type 8 Mech stared in shock, as he shouted out frantically, "How is this possible?! My body was made out of C-Grade super-alloys!! Even a C-Grade cannon would take 3 shots to injure me!! You're just a mere human! How could you be stronger than me?! Impossible!! Humans' physiques are known to be the weakest!! You're not human at all!! Who are you exactly?!"
In the universe, humans were one of the weaker race. As a sentient Mech made out of superior materials, the Type 8 Ape Lord Titus had a physique that far surpassed most humans. He had trumped countless other experts of the same realm using his body alone. Yet now, he was bested by a single hit from Yue Zhong and his flesh body, this was why he was shocked to the core.
In truth, Yue Zhong was already on the path of evolution that had already surpassed humans, with his God-Devil Body. His talent and potential were insane, already crossing the limit of humans.
"I'm human! You can die for me!!!"
Yue Zhong's eyes flashed coldly, and with a step of his foot, over a hundred clones appeared, filling up the palace, as they stretched out to slash Ape Lord Titus's head.
"Human kid, you're too arrogant! Don't look down on Type 8 powerhouses, I will show you the difference in strength!!"
The Type 8 Mech roared out in rage, as his mechanical cells trembled and moved to regenerate his broken right hand. At the same time, he transformed into a 5m-large mechanical ape that was covered in thick scales, his 5 fingers as sharp as knives. Every single part of his body had some form of a sharp blade.
This was the true combat form of Titus, and after transforming, he would be able to exert all of his strength. He pounced towards Yue Zhong, his eyes flashing with a cold look, and at the moment they were near, he fired out numerous spikes from his body, intending to slice through Yue Zhong.
At that instant, the mechanical blades shredded through Yue Zhong's shadow clones, eliminating them.
When the Ape Lord Titus had transformed, Yue Zhong was already filled with a sense of crisis. Against those sharp alloy blades, he had quickly summoned his blood radiance to block in front of him.
Kacha!!
The sharp blade slammed into the blood radiances, and with a loud crack, a hole was torn, as the blades pierced through.
After that, Yue Zhong retreated explosively, barely evading that dangerous strike. He could sense that the sharp blades were not simple, and they were not something his Second Order God-Devil Body might be able to defend against.
Since the Type 8 Ape Lord Titus had managed to force Yue Zhong back, his body continued to flicker forward as he charged towards Yue Zhong without losing his momentum.
In that instant, he appeared right before Yue Zhong once more, his fist moving too fast for the naked eye to see, as it punched towards Yue Zhong.
Due to the momentum and his insane speed, Yue Zhong had no way of evading, as he raised his right shoulder to block it forcefully.
Hong!
When the fist slammed into Yue Zhong's right arm, a powerful force traveled up his shoulder, sending Yue Zhong flying towards a wall as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
His internal organs felt displaced as his blood flow was disrupted. He frowned and thought to himself, "Strong! This is a Type 8 powerhouse! After he transformed, he's even stronger than me."
Near the end of evolution, it was increasingly harder for anyone to progress beyond a realm. The difference in strength between two powerhouses of the different realm would be huge as well. Even with Yue Zhong's heaven-defying God-Devil Physique, against a Type 8 expert, it was truly exhausting.
