Wang Teng followed the Star Mechanic Emperor to the top floor of the Lanji Void Fortress again, but this time, they were not going to the treasury.
They were going to another place.
The two of them stopped in front of a huge metal mechanical door.
"What a rich power of darkness!"
Wang Teng immediately felt something. Behind the mechanical door, there were wisps of faintly discernible power of darkness seeping out. It was shocking.
If it were just wisps of power of darkness, it would not be a big deal. However, it could still seep out despite being blocked by the metal mechanical door.
One had to know that this mechanical door was engraved with many Mechanical Runes, which could isolate energy and prevent detection.
This showed how rich the source of the power of darkness behind the door was.
The Star Mechanic Emperor was slightly stunned and asked, "You felt it?"
Even he did not feel the overflowing power of darkness, but Wang Teng actually felt it as soon as he arrived here.
"Yes!" Wang Teng nodded and said, "It seems that Venerable Xing Yun is inside."
Like those Immortal existences, he also guessed something. Apart from Venerable Xing Yun, who else could be infected by such terrifying power of darkness?
"Yes!" The Star Mechanic Emperor said with a solemn expression, "Venerable Xing Yun has experienced two battles in a row, and his opponents were all upper Demon Venerables. Therefore, he was greatly affected."
Wang Teng naturally knew about this situation.
Venerable Xing Yun's opponents were the Blood-slaughter Demon Venerable and the Bone Demon Venerable. They belonged to different dark races and were both upper Demon Venerables.
The power of darkness they left behind was naturally not to be underestimated.
It was just that he did not expect Venerable Xing Yun to be so badly affected. He had always thought that Venerable Xing Yun had a way to resist the power of darkness.
After all, during the battle, he could not see anything wrong with Venerable Xing Yun at all.
Now, it seemed that he was just holding on.
In fact, if it were not for Venerable Xing Yun, the Lanji Void Fortress would have fallen into the hands of the dark apparitions this time.
The ability of an upper Demon Venerable was simply too terrifying. Without Venerable Xing Yun's restraint, Wang Teng would not be able to use any means no matter how many tricks he had.
It was impossible for him to clash head-on with a Devil Venerable.
If Wang Teng was a surprise troop on the battlefield, then Venerable Xing Yun was the most important commander.
Without this commander-in-chief, everything was just empty talk.
The Star Mechanic King did not say much at this time. He immediately took out the token and opened the metal mechanical door in front of him.
Boom!
An extremely dense power of darkness swept out from behind the door. It contained the aura of darkness, evil, death, and blood.
This was no longer just a type of dark energy!
Darkness and evil were naturally the most fundamental characteristics of the Power of Darkness.
As for the power of deathly stillness, it came from Demon Sovereign Gu La. He had already grasped this power, which was why he was able to communicate with the Undead Ruins.
As for the bloody aura, it naturally came from the Bloodthirsty Demon Venerable. This was a power unique to the dark apparitions of the Blood Race.
All of a sudden, Wang Teng and the Star Mechanic King's expressions changed. Even though Wang Teng had already sensed it, his heart still skipped a beat when he felt this dark energy.
This Force of Darkness was much more terrifying than the Force of Darkness of those Immortal rank existences.
Even if they added up, they were not even one-tenth of this Force of Darkness.
Of course, this was not something that could be measured simply by quantity.
In essence, the Force of Darkness left behind by an upper-level Demon Venerable was definitely more terrifying than the Force of Darkness left behind by those lower-level Demon Venerables.
Wang Teng frowned and looked into the room, only to find that it was pitch-black inside at this moment. It was as if all the light had been swallowed, leaving only the deepest darkness.
He could not even see where Venerable Xing Yun was.
This situation was very wrong!
"How could this be?" The Star Mechanic King's eyes narrowed. Obviously, he did not expect such a situation to occur. He cried out, "It was not like this when I came here previously."
Wang Teng sensed carefully. He also felt the power of blood from behind the darkness. At this moment, these two Forces of Darkness were tightly entangled and could no longer be distinguished from each other. He took a deep breath and could not help but say in a deep voice, "The Force of Darkness in Senior Xing Yun's body has probably undergone some kind of mutation."
"Mutation!" The Star Mechanic King's heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly looked at Wang Teng and asked, "What should we do now?"
This Emperor-level existence could not help but feel a little panicked at this moment.
Inside was an Immortal Venerable of the Machine Race!
It was much more powerful than him.
There must not be any problems.
And he was really helpless against this Force of Darkness unless he suppressed it with great strength. His Power of Thunder could restrain the Force of Darkness, but the problem was that he could not defeat an Immortal Venerable.
The only way was still Wang Teng.
He only hoped that he could solve this problem in other ways. To deal with the Force of Darkness, he still had to rely on the Power of Light.
Therefore, the Star Mechanic King subconsciously looked at Wang Teng immediately.
"Let me take a look first." Wang Teng felt a headache. If an Immortal Venerable was infected by the Force of Darkness, it would be too terrifying. By then, he would not even have a chance to escape.
Fortunately, this time, his Power of Time had improved a lot. Together with his Power of Space, he should be able to imprison an Immortal Venerable for a moment.
And this split second was enough for him to escape with his life.
Wang Teng made up his mind. If he really encountered the worst situation, he would definitely save his own life first.
Although Exalted Star Fall had indeed helped him a lot, he would rather not risk his life to help Exalted Star Fall.
Of course, if it was within his ability, he would definitely do it.
At this moment, Wang Teng was fully alert. The Holy Flame swept out from his body and wrapped around him. Then, he was about to walk into the house.
"That …" The Star Mechanic King said.
"What's wrong, senior?" Wang Teng stopped and looked back.
The Star Mechanic King pointed at the Holy Flame on Wang Teng's body and said embarrassedly, "Can you give me some too?"
“？” A question mark appeared above Wang Teng's head. Then, he reacted and did not know whether to laugh or cry. This Automaton Race's Emperor-level existence was actually afraid now.
However, it made sense. He was facing an Immortal Venerable of his race. Who would not be afraid?
Wang Teng felt better. He waved his hand, and a wisp of Holy Flame swept out and lingered around the Star Mechanic King.
If he really encountered a situation, this Holy Flame could really block it.
After all, it was used to restrain the Force of Darkness.
The Star Mechanic King saw Wang Teng's strange gaze and felt as if he was being looked down upon. This guy really did not give him any face at all.
Can't he cover it up a little?
His gaze was too obvious.
Wang Teng ignored the Star Mechanic King and walked into the room. With the Holy Flame, the Force of Darkness in the surroundings receded like a tide.
The area a few meters around Wang Teng was purified in an instant. Everything disappeared without a trace.
The darkness in the room gradually receded, and a soft white light appeared, replacing the original darkness.
In front of him, a figure sitting cross-legged appeared. It was still so tall and majestic, like a Mechanical God.
However, the broken mechanical body and the power of darkness that lingered around it gave off a rich and tragic feeling.
Wang Teng's pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip. The situation in front of him was once again beyond his expectations.
Previously on the battlefield, he saw that although Venerable Star Fall's body was damaged in many places, he thought that with the ability of the Automaton Race, he should be able to quickly repair it after the battle.
However, looking at Venerable Star Fall's appearance now, those wounds were abnormally hideous. The Force of Darkness wrapped around them like chains, constantly tearing them, preventing them from healing.
This was obviously an outbreak.
Previously, this Force of Darkness was probably forcefully suppressed by Venerable Star Fall. Now that it could no longer be suppressed, it erupted.
Originally, after the battle, without the restraint of the dark apparitions, Venerable Star Fall should have more energy to suppress this Force of Darkness.
However, the battle had dragged on for too long, and this Force of Darkness had entangled a little too deeply in his body.
Moreover, the Force of Darkness left behind by the two upper-rank Demon Venerable dark apparitions showed signs of fusing, making it even more difficult and terrifying to deal with. When it erupted directly, Venerable Star Fall was caught off guard.
It was probably because of this that the current situation happened.
Wang Teng only took a glance and felt the special Force of Darkness, and he basically guessed the situation in Venerable Star Fall's body at the moment.
"Lord Star Fall!"
The Star Mechanic King also did not expect such a situation to happen and exclaimed.
Venerable Star Fall sensed the arrival of the two, and his eyes lit up as he said in a hoarse and low voice, "You guys … are here!"
"Senior, I won't say much nonsense. The two Forces of Darkness in your body were left behind by the Blood-slaughter Demon Venerable and the Bone Demon Venerable. They should have fused by now, right?" Wang Teng said.
"Yes." Venerable Star Fall nodded slightly. His mechanical body actually made a creaking sound that made one's teeth ache. He said, "Do you have a way?"
Wang Teng hesitated for a moment and said, "I need to take a closer look at the situation in your body."
Although his [Eye of Truth] and [Mechanical Thunder Origin Eye] had improved quite a bit, it was still a little difficult for him to pry into the situation in the body of an Immortal Venerable.
Moreover, this was an extremely special mechanical body. Who knew if there was any resistance mechanism in the other party's body?
In any case, when he was prying into the mechanical body previously, he could not see through the [Heart of Evolution]. It contained an extremely high level of technology and was too complicated.
If he had not obtained the attribute bubble of the [Heart of Evolution], he would not have been able to grasp its mysteries.
At the thought of this, Wang Teng's heart could not help but skip a beat.
The Heart of Evolution!
It shouldn't be.
An ominous premonition immediately surged in his heart.
If Venerable Star Fall's [Heart of Evolution] was contaminated by the Force of Darkness, something big would happen.
"This …"
Before Venerable Star Fall could speak, the Star Mechanic King turned pale with fright.
The mechanical bodies of the mechanical race indeed had many mysteries. They usually would not let outsiders check their mechanical bodies to prevent others from mastering the secret technology.
That would be a disaster for the Machinery Race.
If the core technology was accidentally grasped, the martial artists of the mechanical race would have a huge flaw in the eyes of outsiders, and the consequences would be unpredictable.
Although the Star Mechanic King also knew that if he wanted to expel the dark power in Lord Xing Yun's body, Wang Teng had to check his body, he still hesitated at the last moment.
However …
"It's fine!" Venerable Star Fall waved his hand and said indifferently, "Feel free to check the situation in my body. I will release all my defenses."
Wang Teng nodded, sat down cross-legged behind Venerable Star Fall, and placed his palm on his mechanical body.
The Power of Light and the Holy Fire immediately surged out and entered the other party's body.
Seeing this, the Star Mechanic King could only sigh slightly.
In fact, he also knew that Venerable Star Fall's body was very important. It was a mechanical body that could unleash the strength of an Immortal Venerable. It was not something an ordinary mechanical body could compare to.
There was no room for any mishaps.
Even the mechanical race would feel the pinch for a long time if they lost such a body.
However, the higher the level of the mechanical body, the more difficult it was to repair, especially when there was a large amount of Force of Darkness in it. Ordinary methods might not be able to expel it.
Even if they took action themselves, they might not be able to save it.
Moreover, the situation was urgent now, and the dark apparitions were still wreaking havoc in the three territories. They had no extra time to wait.
Once the dark apparitions descended again, the situation would definitely be very bad without the combat power of an Immortal Venerable like Venerable Star Fall.
If not, they would not have let Wang Teng, an outsider, take action.
There was really no better way.
Wang Teng did not know that the Star Mechanic King had so many complicated thoughts in his mind. At this time, his attention was completely focused on Venerable Star Fall's body.
Not only did he use the Power of Light and the Holy Fire, but he also used his spiritual power to enter the other party's body.
This was because he found that Venerable Star Fall's mechanical body was really very complicated. This level of complexity even surpassed that of a normal human body.
He had seen too many bodies of all kinds of creatures. Unless they were from some special races, they were all very similar.
However, this mechanical body was obviously an extremely special type, and it could be considered special among special.
Through the outermost layer, when he saw the body inside, it seemed to be no different from an ordinary creature.
However, all of this seemed to be covered by a layer of veil, making it difficult to see clearly. It was as if he could only see what others wanted him to see, and there were deeper structures that could not be seen.
Wang Teng knew that this was not Venerable Star Fall's doing. With the other party's status and strength, he would not bother to deceive him. It should be this mechanical body itself.
He could only use his spiritual power to constantly scan the situation inside Venerable Star Fall's body.
Even the [Mystic Light Bright Eyes] had been activated to assist the [Eye of Truth] and the [Mechanical Thunder Origin Eye] to spy on the situation inside Venerable Star Fall's body.
Suddenly, strange changes appeared in his eyes.
The purple-gold light emitted by the [Eye of Truth] and the [Mechanical Thunder Origin Eye] occupied the main area in his eyes.
However, at this moment, in the depths of his pupils, a holy white light lit up, as if stars were embellished in them. It was exceptionally magical.
At this moment, Wang Teng's eyes were like the most bizarre gemstones in the universe, bright and dazzling.
If someone stared into his eyes, they would probably be deeply trapped and unable to extricate themselves.
The Star Mechanic Emperor noticed Wang Teng's eyes again, and he was even more surprised and doubtful.
Previously, he had felt the fluctuations of the Mechanical Race's combat skills from Wang Teng's pupil ability. Now, this feeling was even clearer, but it was also more specious.
Especially after the appearance of the star-like holy white light, this feeling became even more unfathomable.
"That's … the aura of the power of light!" The Star Mechanic Emperor's heart skipped a beat. He felt the aura of the power of light from Wang Teng's eyes.
He did not expect Wang Teng to have mastered such a light-type pupil ability!
Eye-type abilities were already very rare, let alone light-type abilities.
This guy really had a lot of light-type abilities.
It was precisely because of this that the Star Mechanic Emperor completely dispelled the doubts in his heart.
Perhaps he was really overthinking. How could Wang Teng master the [Mechanical Thunder Origin Eye]?
The Star Mechanic Emperor shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
After activating the [Mystic Light Bright Pupils], Wang Teng immediately felt a huge change in front of his eyes.
The three pupil abilities did not conflict. Instead, they complemented each other, allowing his ability to reach a higher level and allowing him to see more things clearly.
In an instant, the veil in Venerable Star Fall's body seemed to have been pulled away by a pair of invisible hands. All the barriers disappeared, and a strange scene appeared in front of his eyes.
What Wang Teng saw at this moment was no longer the human body structure that was similar to ordinary creatures, but something deeper.
That was … starlight!
Venerable Star Fall's body was actually like a starry sky. Countless starlight decorated it, pulling one's line of sight in. One would find that those starlight were actually strange structures.
Countless complicated structures gathered in one body as if they had a life of their own, transforming into Venerable Star Fall's body.
"This!" Wang Teng was extremely surprised. He wondered if he had seen wrongly.
