Bai Ye rushed to the top of the altar and then saw a shocking scene.
It was an unimaginably massive mecha, its entire body embedded in the mountainside in front of the altar.
And this altar, at least a hundred meters high, only reached the chest of the ancient mecha.
The floating stones that Bai Ye had seen before were actually part of the ancient mecha's body, now drifting from all directions, constantly converging in front of the ancient mecha, gradually assembling its body.
And in front of the ancient mecha stood five people.
There was the blonde man Bai Ye had seen before, a man in white armor wielding a giant scythe, a man in a Fusang sword samurai outfit with two swords at his waist, and a man in emperor's attire, floating in the air.
Looking at this, the leader must be the man dressed as an emperor, but...
Bai Ye's gaze passed over the four and fell upon the fifth man at the very front.
He wore a white Taoist robe embroidered with peonies, with red petals constantly swirling around him. One palm was held at his shoulder, and in his hand was a square crystal block emitting light!
Bai Ye's pupils contracted.
The Heart of Dawn!
That Taoist was the true leader of the opposing group!
"Hand it over!"
Bai Ye growled and immediately charged forward.
Stop the ancient mecha?
How to stop it?
Getting the Heart of Dawn was all that mattered!
But, the moment Bai Ye charged forward...
"Show, time!"
The blonde man raised his dual pistols and began to spray bullets in Bai Ye's direction.
Bai Ye had fought this guy before and knew his strength. He couldn't take the bullets head-on but had to dodge, so...
"Teleportation!"
Bai Ye's figure suddenly vanished and reappeared ten meters away.
However...
The moment Bai Ye reappeared, the man in armor wielding the scythe suddenly appeared in front of him.
The white scythe in his hand slashed down at Bai Ye.
This guy...
How could he know where I would teleport to?
Bai Ye showed a hint of surprise and quickly raised his hand, forming the famous sword Bloodthirsty with Steel Slime.
Clang!
A crisp clang rang out, weapons colliding, scattering golden sparks.
The next instant, the ground beneath Bai Ye's feet cracked, with countless fissures appearing.
A tremendous force struck, making Bai Ye grit his teeth.
Such immense pressure!
Bai Ye looked at his opponent with some surprise. This oppressive feeling...
It was somewhat familiar.
On Bai Ye's chest, the Steel Slime wriggled rapidly, and on Bai Ye's face, a bio-mask formed.
Biological scan initiated...
Biological scan concluded...
God of Slaughter Bai Qi (Native) (Healthy): A hero from Xuan Yong, known as the ultimate weapon. Those who know his name call him the God of Slaughter.
Strength: ??
Speed: ??

...
Bai Ye looked at the information displayed and finally understood why the oppressive feeling was so familiar.
Once, a man named Lu Bu, through his attachment ability, made Bai Ye understand what pressure was, although that time, it was Bai Ye who was imposing the pressure.
But this time...
Bai Ye felt the same oppressive feeling from his opponent.
Because one was hailed as the God of War.
The other was called the God of Slaughter by the world.
Clang!
A crisp ringing sound echoed. The immense force was irresistible to Bai Ye, and the white scythe knocked away the famous sword Bloodthirsty in Bai Ye's hand.
Immediately after...
Bai Qi, like a beast, slammed fiercely into Bai Ye's chest, instantly sending Bai Ye flying backward.
His body tumbling in mid-air, Bai Ye's back unleashed thrusters, spewing blue flames and forcefully stabilizing his body.
But the moment Bai Ye landed...
The man wielding the dual swords instantly appeared in front of Bai Ye, his swords slashing at Bai Ye.
Clang!
Bai Ye quickly swung the famous sword Bloodthirsty, parrying the opponent's weapons, and then landed back on the ground.
Upon landing, the Steel Slime on Bai Ye's body wriggled continuously, and seven flying swords were formed by Bai Ye, shooting forward through the air.
But...
"Empty Void Slash!"
The man in the samurai outfit, holding his dual swords, one forward and one backward, crossed them and slashed forward with force.
A crescent-shaped blade light flew forward and clashed with Bai Ye's seven swords.
Almost instantly, Bai Ye's seven swords were annihilated within the blade light, and even...
"Your weapon, Seven-Colored Rainbow, has been destroyed and cannot be reformed."
The Seven-Colored Rainbow was rendered useless!
Steel Slime could indeed prevent consumed items from being damaged by combat.
However, combat damage and destruction were not the same thing.
Combat damage referred to the damage sustained during battle, and when Steel Slime condensed, it did so according to the original state, so as long as it was reformed, there was no combat damage.
But if it was completely destroyed in battle after being condensed, there would be no next time.
Items would be unable to be reformed if they were completely destroyed.
But the problem was...
Bai Ye looked at the scattered fragments around him.
With just one slash, his Seven-Colored Rainbow was ruined?
Bai Ye couldn't help but look up at the man in the samurai outfit.
Biological scan initiated...
Biological scan concluded...
Miyamoto Musashi (Native) (Healthy): A hero from Fusang, the foremost swordsman of Fusang, Miyamoto Musashi, peerless in the world.
Strength: ??
Speed: ??
...
Bai Ye suddenly felt like life was a joke.
One God of Slaughter wasn't enough, and now there was a peerless warrior?
These two were clearly heroes like Lu Bu, possessing golden attachment abilities!
Was this hidden mission meant for humans to complete?
Bai Ye couldn't help but swallow.
He had initially thought that with the Demon Garment from his golden gacha, he was invincible, but now...
He realized he was still a nobody.
"This clanging is so annoying," said the man dressed as an emperor at this moment with an impatient expression. "It's giving me a headache. Kill him quickly."
Bai Ye nodded, shrugged the white scythe onto his shoulder, and walked towards Bai Ye with long strides.
Then...
The white scythe was raised high and slashed down towards Bai Ye.
But at this moment...
A sudden gust of wind arose!
A rotating azure crystal blade appeared out of nowhere and, as Bai Ye's scythe descended, struck the blade of the scythe!
...
