The incoming golden sword possessed extraordinary power.
Rather than a sword, Bai Ye felt as though each projectile was a heavy hammer, incessantly striking the barrier of the demonic force field. Every impact resonated like a hammer blow.
But…
Bai Ye held firm!
The Demon’s Robe was incredibly resilient, and the demonic force field's defense was robust. For the blond man, who was the opponent's weakest, to injure Bai Ye…
Bai Ye could only attribute it to being countered. Piercing damage that ignored defenses was the most effective against the demonic force field.
However, the Golden Emperor's golden swords, though fearsome and exponentially more potent than the blond man's bullets, lacked that particular effect.
Therefore…
Bai Ye could withstand it!
With each step, Bai Ye advanced, while simultaneously looking towards Mulan.
Mulan, understanding implicitly, immediately lunged forward once more, directly at the sorcerer, her greatsword sweeping in a horizontal slash, aimed at the sorcerer.
But, the moment before impact…
Countless peony petals fluttered down, and red mist suddenly billowed around them.
Mulan's sword, though it seemed to strike the sorcerer, yielded no sense of solidity to Mulan.
As expected, the next instant, the sorcerer’s body shattered, merging with the red mist and drifting forward, reaching the base of the ancient mechanical giant.
"You cannot stop me, because I am..." the sorcerer smiled, "flawlessly prepared!"
As the sorcerer finished speaking, the Dawn Heart, floating in his palm, suddenly emitted a light, and then…
The ancient mechanical giant’s eyes began to glow with a red hue, and its body started to move.
When such a colossal entity moved, it felt as though the very earth trembled.
The cliff face embedded with the ancient mechanical giant began to shake, fissures resembling long dragons continuously appeared, followed by countless falling rocks cascading downwards.
The ancient mechanical giant still had less than half its body formed, and one arm had yet to fully coalesce, but…
It possessed at least one arm!
That arm was raised high, poised to smash downwards.
Even before the fist fell, a fierce wind whipped around, so intense it seemed capable of blowing everything away, forcing even their combat to halt.
Because that punch was too terrifying!
Just by looking, one could sense its world-destroying potential.
Bai Ye, with a wry smile, retreated.
This thing was an outright mecha!
It could be considered a super-quality existence, and its appearance in the current mission was simply cheating.
Fortunately, Bai Ye had grasped the mission's objective. If the mission was to find a way to *fight* the ancient mechanical giant, then they might as well give up and go home, as there would be no solution.
However, the mission's content was: **Stop the ancient mechanical giant from activating!**
Not to stop the ancient giant, but…
To stop its activation!
At that moment, the colossal fist descended, aiming directly for the altar.
Everyone quickly scattered to all directions, evading the area covered by the punch.
Rumble!
As the ancient mechanical giant's fist struck, a deafening roar erupted.
However, the altar was clearly not constructed from ordinary stones. Despite enduring such a terrifying blow, it did not collapse.
But the entire altar vibrated violently, the vines entwined around it instantly snapped, and they slid downwards.
Bai Ye quickly regained his footing and shouted, "The Dawn Heart is the key to driving the ancient mechanical giant!"
Mulan, without any wasted words, loudly yelled back, "Cover me!"
And then…
She charged forward with unwavering resolve!
This was why the elite team of the Great Wall Guard was willing to trust Mulan.
Because she always led the charge!
The Golden Emperor watched with a cold gaze, then let out a cold laugh, spreading his arms again, and a vast golden ripple reappeared.
Bai Ye felt like cursing. Was that all this guy knew?
But he had to admit, the power of that move was formidable, and it could be used every ten seconds. Wasn't that just being obnoxious!
"Get out of the way!" Bai Ye grumbled, leaping forward, "You're forcing me to use my ultimate move!"
Bai Ye opened his palm, and a mechanical whirring sound ensued. Then, in the center of his palm, a ring of metal plates slid aside, revealing a large opening.
Zzzzt, zzzzt…
A piercing crackle of electricity sounded, and on Bai Ye's arm, streaks of azure electricity appeared, flickering incessantly!
Magnetic Field Vortex (Creates a magnetic field vortex, drawing in everything within a 15-meter radius and causing continuous magnetic disruption. Exceptionally effective against electronic devices without force field protection.)
Soon, an orb of electricity formed in the center of Bai Ye's palm, and then…
Bai Ye exerted immense force!
With a *snap*, the electric orb was crushed by Bai Ye. Immediately afterwards, thousands upon thousands of electric arcs shot outwards, crackling and darting all around.
The magnetic field took shape!
Under the influence of the magnetic field, a gale instantly swept through the area. Centered on Bai Ye, the airflow continuously converged towards him, forming a terrifying tornado interwoven with countless currents.
The next second, an immense suction force appeared.
The golden swords that had just shot out from the golden ripple were drawn by the magnetic field’s suction, rapidly approaching Bai Ye, and then spinning along the airflow.
The golden swords emitted a continuous "crack, crack" sound, and cracks began to appear on them.
Upon contact with the arcs within the magnetic field, the golden swords suddenly exploded one after another, shattering into countless golden halos that scattered outwards.
Simultaneously…
Kai gripped his crystal blade, Bai Qi forcefully drove his scythe into the ground, and Miyamoto Musashi, along with the mysterious swordsman, simultaneously ceased their attacks, each grasping their respective weapons.
The most pitiable was the blond man, who held onto his twin pistols tightly, yet his body was still being dragged, continuously moving towards the magnetic field, being drawn in bit by bit.
The crushing power of the Magnetic Field Vortex was terrifying; its only drawback was…
It was indiscriminate!
The sorcerer's face, which had held a mixture of sternness and composure, finally showed a hint of distress, his eyes fixed on the Dawn Heart in his hand.
The Dawn Heart was also being affected by the Magnetic Field Vortex, trembling in the sorcerer's grasp with a "cack, cack" sound.
Red mist appeared in the sorcerer's hand, tightly enveloping the Dawn Heart, preventing it from being pulled into the Magnetic Field Vortex.
But at this very moment…
Mulan burst forth from the side.
Mulan was also enduring the effects of the Magnetic Field Vortex, and she chose to…
Discard her sword!
Then, Mulan reached the sorcerer.
Without a sword…
She still had her fists!
