Amidst the fluttering fabric, everyone clearly saw the appearance of that figure.
Its body exuded a metallic sheen, exuding mysterious and powerful strength.
This was a "mechanical puppet."
Unlike ordinary "mechanical puppets," this one had a total of six "drive cores."
Each "drive core" was a "Heavenly Machine Core" refined using the secret, unpassed techniques of the "Heavenly Machine Holy Land."
No, that's not right!
These "Heavenly Machine Cores" were not ordinary "Heavenly Machine Cores." They were even more precious, more magical, and truly unique.
First, the materials.
The materials used by the past "Mechanical Masters" of the "Heavenly Machine Holy Land" to refine "Heavenly Machine Cores" were also rare heavenly treasures. However, at best, they only used materials like "Myriad Year Profound Iron," "Star Mark Meteorite Iron," and so on.
Yet, the materials used for these six "Heavenly Machine Cores" were "Star Dust"!
How extravagant!
Immensely extravagant!
To know that the "Star Dust" consumed to refine just one such large "Heavenly Machine Core" would have a total value exceeding "three hundred million low-grade spirit stones."
Six "Heavenly Machine Cores" meant "one point eight billion low-grade spirit stones."
Rounding it up, two billion, a full two "little targets"!
Madness!
Although the "Mechanical Masters" of the "Heavenly Machine Holy Land" were wealthy, and they could indeed come up with two billion by selling everything they owned, no one would be so insane!
To use all their assets to refine six "Heavenly Machine Cores," what would happen afterward? Would they have to live on air? Would they still want to cultivate, to improve?
Moreover, "Star Dust" was scarce in circulation, almost "having a price but no market."
Even if someone truly went mad and produced a full two billion to purchase "Star Dust" in large quantities, they wouldn't be able to buy it.
Therefore, these six "Heavenly Machine Cores" made from "Star Dust" were one of a kind, incredibly precious.
Secondly, the power absorbed by these six "Heavenly Machine Cores" was "Heavenly Tribulation power," which was simply unimaginable.
After refining "Heavenly Machine Cores," the "Mechanical Masters" of the "Heavenly Machine Holy Land" would try their best to power them up.
Some "Mechanical Masters" used "top-grade spirit stones" to charge "Heavenly Machine Cores."
Some "Mechanical Masters" used "inner demon cores" to charge "Heavenly Machine Cores."
Some "Mechanical Masters," being extremely extravagant, even used "low-grade spiritual fires" to charge "Heavenly Machine Cores."
After being charged, the "Heavenly Machine Cores" were immensely powerful, their might vast, capable of activating giant mechanical beasts thousands of feet tall.
For this, all the "Mechanical Masters" were exceptionally proud.
They felt that they had reached the pinnacle of "mechanical arts," hands in their pockets, finding no rivals.
But even at their peak and most dominant times, not a single "Mechanical Master" had ever considered using "Heavenly Tribulation power" to charge a "Heavenly Machine Core."
Because it was impossible!
"Heavenly Tribulation power" was incredibly ferocious, filled with destructive force, completely unsuitable as an energy source.
However, Yun Tian Kong had achieved it.
Uh, well, with the help of a certain senior, he had successfully subdued "tribulation lightning," sealed the "tribulation lightning" within the "Heavenly Machine Core," and transformed the "Heavenly Machine Core" into an incredibly powerful "Lightning Heavenly Machine Core"!
A "mechanical puppet" driven by six "Lightning Heavenly Machine Cores" was outrageously powerful.
Although it had not awakened true self-awareness, its computational power was comparable to a "supercomputer."
It could perform a series of complex calculations, determine the parameters of various divine abilities, optimize and adjust them, and then master them, transforming them into its own power.
It could even, through calculation, ultimately master the great divine ability of "Unity of Heaven and Man."
This "mechanical puppet" was comparable to a "super Daozi."
Its development potential was in no way inferior to Wang Xiao Hu's "Tiger Fiend Demonic Blade."
Now, with the "Spiritual Qi Tide" converging on the "mechanical puppet," everyone's astonishment was followed by even greater anticipation.
They wondered what new forms the "mechanical puppet" would evolve into after this round of enhancement!
At this moment, as the "Spiritual Qi Tide" continuously swirled, immense amounts of spiritual qi poured into the "mechanical puppet's" body...
With a series of "beeping" electronic sounds.
White electronic streams appeared on the "mechanical puppet," a visual representation of its "computing power" operating at its limit.
The onlookers could see that the white electronic streams on the "mechanical puppet's" surface were becoming more numerous, denser, and faster...
This indicated that the "mechanical puppet's" "computing power" was rapidly soaring, and its strength was climbing steadily.
When all the electronic streams connected into a single entity, transforming into a dazzling white light.
The radiance was splendid and breathtaking!
The "mechanical puppet's" "computing power" reached its limit, breaking through some kind of bottleneck and entering a higher level.
The "mechanical puppet's" size began to rapidly increase.
One zhang, five zhang, ten zhang, twenty zhang...
In the blink of an eye, the "mechanical puppet" had grown to ninety-nine zhang.
It was like a metallic giant, reaching for the sky, its aura immense!
Upon seeing this, everyone felt awe in their hearts; it was so powerful!
And at this moment, the "mechanical puppet" was far from its limit; its size continued to grow...
However, as if an invisible barrier existed in the void, it rigidly confined the "mechanical puppet," rendering it unable to move.
The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, there is a price for everything!
When a cultivator breaks through and completes a grand transformation of life, they need to undergo a "Heavenly Tribulation."
The "mechanical puppet" was not a cultivator, nor was it even considered a life form. If it had to be described, it was more like a magical artifact.
Its power growth would not trigger a "Heavenly Tribulation," but it would be subject to the confinement and suppression of the "Great Dao of Heaven and Earth."
Once it broke through, it would have boundless freedom and enter a new phase, becoming even stronger and more formidable.
But if it could not break through, it would remain stagnant forever, with no further progress.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
The "mechanical puppet" let out a series of angry roars.
It even raised its iron fist and blindly hammered at the invisible, intangible "confinement force" in the sky.
Unfortunately, all efforts were in vain.
The "mechanical puppet's" form was trapped at ninety-nine zhang, unable to break through.
The confinement and suppression of the "Great Dao of Heaven and Earth" were not to be trifled with. Under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult for the "mechanical puppet" to break through.
Its situation was different from "undergoing tribulation"; outsiders could not help, and everything depended on the "mechanical puppet" itself.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
The "mechanical puppet" let out another round of furious roars, but it was still of no avail. It could not find any breakthrough opportunity, and at this moment, its aura began to gradually wane...
