Shouyue looked ahead and said, "Bai Ye is really powerful. In just an instant, my sight couldn't keep up with him."
Kai rubbed his chin. "Is he also proficient in demonic arts? That form is somewhat similar to my demonic power."
Mulan shrugged. "Since he's already escaped, let him be. Kai, you should head to the Glorious Canyon first. Shuyue, Shield Mountain, and I will arrive later."
Kai nodded. "Alright!"
...
Meanwhile, Bai Ye was running at full speed.
Sound travels at 340 meters per second. The supersonic speed of the Demon Strike lasted for 18 seconds, covering over six thousand meters, after which the boosters needed 6 hours to cool down.
In reality, relying solely on this to cover distances didn't save much time.
However, even without the Demon Armor, Bai Ye was already very fast, as his speed attribute had broken through 160, and then...
"First gene lock, unlocked!"
Splash!
A clear heartbeat!
The next moment, Bai Ye felt his blood flow suddenly accelerate, and he was in a highly excited state.
Simultaneously, with the unlocking of the first gene lock, Bai Ye's physical attributes began to increase, his speed became even faster, and he continued to advance along the ancient path.
After an unknown amount of time, a massive canyon appeared before Bai Ye.
At the front of the canyon was a huge bronze gateway. The mountain walls on both sides were covered with various plants.
Hundreds of meters of blue-purple vines covered the mountain walls, even coiling around the bronze gateway.
The open space in front was filled with diverse flora.
Flowers shaped like wind chimes would indeed emit a ringing sound when touched.
Giant purple dandelions swayed in the wind, and their white fluff drifted everywhere.
Further away, there were some large shrubs entwined with smoke-like yellow radiance, which diffused around a light screen, forming curly shapes.
Sunlight shone down from the sky, causing the surrounding grass to change color from green to purple, then to white.
The Glorious Canyon had a magical feel, exuding wonder everywhere, and...
There was a very peculiar power!
Bai Ye couldn't quite identify the power, but he could feel an invisible force entwining him as he entered the area.
Thinking to himself, Bai Ye stepped onto the grass and walked towards the entrance.
"Once I enter the bronze gateway, the second part of the hidden quest should be considered complete, right?"
But at this moment...
The ground in front of Bai Ye suddenly trembled, and a crack appeared, spreading towards him.
Bai Ye quickly leaped to the side, but in the next instant, a giant hand emerged from the ground and slammed down towards him.
Boom!
Bai Ye tapped his toes and retreated again.
The giant hand struck the ground with a thunderous roar, shattering it and causing a section to collapse downwards.
Soon, a second giant hand emerged from the ground, propping up the other side of the rift, and then...
A mechanical golem, about four to five meters tall, crawled out of the crack.
"As expected..." Bai Ye said. "It's a hidden quest, after all. It wouldn't be completed just by traveling. However..."
Bai Ye suddenly spread his arms, and the wingless black wings on his back unfurled.
With the golden-quality Demon Armor mechanical suit on, a mere mechanical golem was not something Bai Ye feared!
Almost instantly, the twelve sword blades forming the wing bones flew forward simultaneously, striking towards the golem.
Bang, bang, bang...
Each sword blade was immensely powerful, hitting the golem's body and forcing it to retreat.
After a round of attacks, the blades returned to Bai Ye's back, reforming into wings.
The next moment, metal plates shifted on Bai Ye's shoulder, and a black shoulder cannon, about the size of two palms, rose up.
Light Stream Energy Cannon!
Light Stream Energy Cannon (quickly gathers solar energy to form high-temperature light streams for bombardment)
The top of the shoulder cannon had dark pads that emitted a glow. Immediately, the surrounding sunlight seemed to be drawn in, entwining the Light Stream Energy Cannon.
At the cannon's muzzle, a large amount of golden halo began to appear, gradually condensing.
After a moment, as the golem stepped forward, Bai Ye waved his hand and said, "Fire!"
Boom!
A golden beam of light appeared, shooting towards the golem and hitting its shoulder with a tremendous roar.
Immediately, a massive fireball exploded at the point of impact.
The golem's arm shattered and broke off at the shoulder, falling downwards and smashing onto the ground.
Bai Ye didn't stop and moved forward. The Light Stream Energy Cannon was already absorbing sunlight again, and the muzzle was condensing another beam.
Soon...
Boom!
The second thunderous roar sounded as another golden beam shot out, terrifyingly fast, almost a flash, hitting the golem's chest.
The moment the beam struck, another deafening explosion occurred.
This time, a huge hole was blasted through the golem's chest.
Looking inside the hole, one could vaguely see formation patterns etched within the golem.
If nothing unexpected happened, although this golem was different from the previous models, it would still have a power core as a weak point. However...
Bai Ye didn't care!
Just fight!
The golem hadn't even regained its balance before the third shot arrived!
Bai Ye was like a small sun at this moment, enveloped by the sun's radiance, and the cannon was re-gathering energy!
The power of the Light Stream Energy Cannon was not fixed, nor was the charging speed. It depended entirely on the sunlight.
The stronger the sunlight, the greater the power of the Light Stream Energy Cannon and the faster the charging speed. It was even possible to fire consecutively.
And today...
Bai Ye looked up at the sky.
The weather was great!
Boom!
The sound of bombardment rang out again, and the third beam shot forward.
This time, the beam directly hit the golem's head. The explosion sounded again the moment the beam struck.
Almost instantly, the golem's head exploded into pieces, and its massive body fell to the ground, shaking for a moment before falling completely silent.
The golem was not that weak. Compared to the previous standard golems, it was clearly a step up.
However, it was no match for the Demon Armor, a complete dimensionality reduction strike.
Taken down in three shots!
