Formal. This was far too formal!
Ning had the feeling that he had only ever seen formal declarations of war like this in the history books of his past life.
The two sides were like two countries going to war. Before the war started, they even specifically told the enemy country, "I'm going to attack you," to show that they were being fair and square.
However, this was the world of cultivation. There was no need for a reason to kill someone for their treasures or fortune. If you were weak, then killing you was the most honorable reason.
In addition, the reason why the Blacktech Empire had declared war against [Absolute Beginning] wasn't because of any karmic luck or hatred; it was simply because [Absolute Beginning] had violated the laws of the Blacktech Empire.
If Ning hadn't heard it with his own ears, he might've thought it was a joke.
The Blacktech Empire was able to make experts like [Absolute Beginning] treat them with such solemn respect, but they still maintained this sort of ceremonial declaration of war. This was rather unimaginable.
However, compared to the bizarre declaration of war, Ning felt that this world was truly unfathomable. It was as though it was covered by a thick fog that he couldn't see or touch.
He had heard the screams of agony from the Sith Chaosverse, and now someone was challenging [Absolute Beginning]. Everything seemed contradictory, but it was real.
"You really are courting death. I want to see what you have up your sleeves."
Within the 'Desolate Era' world, Wanjie Lou and the others no longer had to worry about the laws of Wanjie Lou. They were free to use their own divine abilities and Immortal energy.
The Absolute Beginning clone could tell at a glance that Zhou Qing's group was roughly equivalent to Wanjie Lou's high-tier tenth rank in power.
High-tier tenth rank cultivators might be considered top-tier customers in Wanjie Lou, but in front of the supreme tenth rank, they were nothing more than ants. He could wipe them out in an instant.
"So long as I can wipe out the four Blacktech Empire members, they won't be able to pose any threat to me even if they have some sort of bizarre blacktech weapon."
After confirming the strength of the Blacktech Empire's group, the Absolute Beginning clone's nervous heart slowly calmed down. He regained his confidence.
This was a battle between him and the Blacktech Empire. If he could wipe out Zhou Qing's group, he would be victorious. Even if they did have some sort of monstrous blacktech weapon, it would be his spoils of war.
In the black technology world, Zhou Qing and the others did not speak. Before entering Wanjie Lou, the leader of the team, the burly dragon-headed man, had already decided on a plan to fight against the Absolute Beginning clone.
They couldn't lose this battle. They didn't care if they could kill the Absolute Beginning clone or not.
They only needed to show that the Black Technology Empire's black technology weapons were enough to suppress customers at the peak of the Tenth Order, and they would have achieved their goal.
"Hmph!"
Seeing the indifferent attitude of the people of the Black Technology Empire, the Absolute Beginning clone's heart became colder. He couldn't help but snort. As long as he had the chance, he would definitely kill all the people of the Black Technology Empire.
From this moment onwards, he was no longer a clone. He was the Lord of the Sith Chaosverse, Archimedes.
"Countdown to the battle: 10, 9, 8 … 3, 2, 1."
The cold, mechanical voice echoed throughout the endless Void. Not only did Zhou Qing and Archimedes hear it, Celestial Emperor Wilds and Lord Luo heard it as well. The customers of Wanjie Lou who were trillions of kilometers away, as well as Ning who was in the desolate Chaosverse, heard it as well.
The customers of Wanjie Lou were quite calm, but Ning's face was scrunched up into a frown. The unease in his heart grew stronger and stronger as all sorts of questions flashed through his mind, causing him to feel uneasy.
In the instant that the cold, mechanical voice came to a halt, Archimedes and Zhou Qing's forces simultaneously made their move. Yet another avatar of Archimedes flew out from the Sith Chaosverse, appearing in front of Zhou Qing's group like a streak of golden light. A powerful aura of power swept out like a tempest, like a mountain crashing down upon them. Archimedes was planning on using his own aura to crush Zhou Qing's group.
If Zhou Qing's group didn't have any special tricks up their sleeves, Archimedes's aura of power would be more than enough to crush them into dust.
Swoosh!
Archimedes' avatar was incredibly fast. A streak of crimson light shot out from Zhou Qing's body, moving even faster than Archimedes' avatar.
The crimson light seemed to know the trajectory of Archimedes' avatar, and it instantly punched countless thumb-sized holes into it.
Zhou Qing's group had used some sort of technique to completely block out Archimedes' avatar's aura. In addition, the crimson light that shot out from Zhou Qing's body was like a defensive system. No matter what attack Archimedes used, it would be pierced through by the crimson light, then vanish into the endless Void.
"Boom!"
Another warrior from the black tech world made his move. A long silver tube that was nine meters long and a foot wide appeared in his hands. It looked like the barrel of an enormous rocket launcher, and he aimed it straight at the Sith Chaosverse. An enormous explosion rang out, followed by a strange sound.
This was a type of black tech weapon that was similar to infrasonic wave weapons. It was quite ordinary, and it was known as the Infrasonic Sound.
However, there were only two of them in the entire black tech world, and they had been created using the resources of the entire empire.
The power of the Infrasonic Sound was astonishing. It could hypnotize any type of Grand Dao Laws, causing them to enter a state of slumber similar to the Dharma-Ending Tribulation.
The Black Tech Empire had once used this sort of Infrasonic Sound to hypnotize the Grand Dao Laws of a top-tier major world, causing the Daomerge experts of that world to be unable to use the power of the Grand Dao, causing them to drop by an entire major tier.
Ever since Archimedes had entered the Wanjie Lou Realm, the dragon turtle had helped him spread the word about the power of a Lord of the Chaosverse. Upon hearing the name of this realm, Zhou Qing's group of black tech experts immediately understood Archimedes' weakness.
No matter how he controlled the Chaosverse, as long as they hypnotized the Grand Dao Laws of the entire Chaosverse, Archimedes would no longer be able to use the power of the Chaosverse.
If Archimedes merged with the Chaosverse, they would be able to hypnotize Archimedes as well as the Grand Dao Laws of the Chaosverse.
Archimedes clearly hadn't expected that the Black Tech Empire would be able to control this sort of attack. In order to use as much power as possible, he had remained within the Quintessence Laws of the Chaosverse this entire time, becoming one with them.
Even in this state, he was still affected by the enormous impact of the Infrasonic Sound. His mind became somewhat dazed, as though he was about to fall asleep at any moment.
The Black Tech Empire's experts didn't give Archimedes any time to recover. From the sleeves of the dragon-headed man, a swarm of mechanical mosquitoes, each the size of a bee and the size of a thumb, flew out. They glowed with a cold light. They were also known as' Dao Absorbers'.
These mechanical mosquitoes didn't suck blood. Instead, they absorbed the Quintessence Laws of a person's body and used them to destroy their enemies.
The entire Black Tech Empire only had thirty-two of them left, and they were all carried by the dragon-headed man.
The mechanical mosquitoes ignored all attacks and ranged attacks. They were incomparably tough. Only a peak tenth rank attack would be able to harm them.
Aside from the Heaven-defying expert who had once suppressed the Chaosverse, all ordinary peak tenth rank cultivators were reduced to mortal corpses when surrounded by the mechanical mosquitoes.
This was one of the trump cards of the Black Tech Empire. The higher-ups of the Black Tech Empire had given them special permission to allow Zhou Qing and the others to establish themselves in Wanjie Lou.
Roughly an hour later, Archimedes flew out from the Sith Chaosverse. However, he was no longer himself. His face was ashen, and he had lost all signs of life. His body was filled with purplish mechanical mosquitoes.
"It's over?"
The Wanjie Lou cultivators stared at the bizarre scene that had just unfolded. Even Celestial Emperor Wilds and Lord Luo City were rather dazed. A peak tenth rank expert had been slain, just like that?
There hadn't been any particularly shocking battle. It seemed as though the victor had been decided by a competition of equipment.
Archimedes hadn't been able to bring out any equipment at all, and so he had died.
"The Lord of the Sith Chaosverse died?"
Within the desolate Chaosverse, Ning's eyes narrowed as a look of shock appeared on his face.
He could no longer sense Archimedes' aura from within the Sith Chaosverse. It was as though he had vanished from the world.
The Sith Chaosverse was completely unscathed, but the Lord of the Sith Chaosverse, Archimedes, had died. How could Ning not be shocked?
If a Lord of the Sith Chaosverse had been slain just like that … didn't that mean that he was far from being a match for the Black Tech Empire?
Ning really wanted to step forward and ask about where Wanjie Lou and the others had come from, but when he saw that the Black Tech Empire had slain Archimedes, all of them had left.
After Wanjie Lou and the others had all left, Ning couldn't hold back any longer. He sent an avatar towards the Sith Chaosverse, wanting to confirm what had happened.
Ning scanned the Sith Chaosverse repeatedly, but he still couldn't find any trace of Archimedes' aura. It was as though Archimedes had truly perished.
"What other secrets does this world hold?"
Ning felt rather depressed as he walked into the Infinite Void. He used a major divine ability to reverse the flow of time, planning to investigate the secrets and history of the past.
Compared to the gloomy atmosphere of the Desolate Chaosverse, Wanjie Lou was much livelier. A company known as the Black Tech Conglomerate had been established, and virtually all of Wanjie Lou's customers had come to pay their respects.
The battle of the Desolate Chaosverse had taught Wanjie Lou and the others that an incredibly powerful conglomerate with deep roots was about to establish itself in Wanjie Lou.
"Damn. How could they be this powerful?"
Archimedes' clone was still on the sixth floor of Wanjie Lou. A hint of shock still remained on his face, and his heart was filled with terror. His voice was trembling slightly; clearly, he had received word of the Desolate Chaosverse War.
He had never imagined that the Black Tech Empire would be this powerful. His true body had actually been unable to fight back at all against them.
If it wasn't for the fact that he had left a clone behind in Wanjie Lou, Archimedes really might've vanished from this world.
"Do you want to become even more powerful? Do you want to truly … live? "
