Chapter 753: Chapter 234: The Terror of the Mechanical Race! Machine Soul Core, Massive Improvement
"But in reality, the true distance between any two of those points of light is a despair-inducing, astronomical figure."
"A typical galaxy’s gravitational pull can encompass a range of anywhere from a few light-years to a hundred.
But the void between galaxies spans thousands, sometimes tens of thousands, of light-years. This distance is an absolute vacuum, devoid of any signs of life, with no living beings whatsoever."
"As for the distance between Star Zones—that is, between galaxy clusters—it is even more vast and boundless.
These dead, cold, and empty vacuums, devoid of any matter, are the most terrifying and truest face of the cosmos."
Qin Feng’s thoughts couldn’t help but drift.
’Without a safe and efficient method of travel like Subspace Teleportation, the cosmos itself would be ten thousand times more terrifying than it is now...’
’I’ve heard that on the truly brutal Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races, certain special regions lack such convenient travel methods. The strong can only rely on their formidable physical bodies to wander through the cold depths of space, a journey so long it could wither the soul... Just getting from place to place would take an immense amount of time.’
At this thought, Qin Feng felt an even deeper respect for the great man who had pioneered it all.
The Emperor.
All of this was the Emperor’s achievement.
If the Emperor hadn’t used his Supreme Power to open up this "Subspace Pure Land" that shelters the Human Race, and if he hadn’t constructed this teleportation network that covers the entire Human Territory, then the vast domain of the Human Race could never have been so impregnable. It would have been impossible for it to coalesce into a highly efficient, unified whole.
Even the Empire’s terrifying administrative power—a tiered system capable of precisely enforcing the highest Will down to every single metropolitan area on the most basic Life Planet—would have been nothing but a fantasy.
"Hm? Found something!"
As Qin Feng’s thoughts were wandering, his vast, unfurled Mental Power suddenly detected an extremely unusual Energy Fluctuation on the edge of Galaxy No. 117.
In his mental senses, a Life Planet that should have been teeming with life was now completely occupied by a dense, torrent-like flood of mechanical constructs.
And deep within the planet’s core lurked an extremely powerful aura.
Based on Qin Feng’s initial assessment, the energy level of that aura was roughly equivalent to a Constant Star Martial Artist who had expanded their Indestructible Projection to a scale of ten thousand light-years.
At almost the exact same moment, the Jade Token at his waist began to vibrate violently. An alert message from a nearby scout team, marked "Extremely Dangerous," popped up.
[ALERT! Constant Star-level Mechanical Race lifeform signature detected at Galaxy No. 117, coordinates (341.889.245)!
Requesting support! Requesting support!]
SWOOSH—
The target was locked. Qin Feng didn’t hesitate for a second.
His figure instantly transformed into a silver stream of light, speeding toward the marked planet.
When he arrived before the planet, the sight that greeted him made Qin Feng take notice.
A Life Planet, roughly the same size as the Blue Star he had once seen, had now been completely transformed into a menacing and terrifying War Fortress.
Its once-blue oceans were now covered by countless floating steel platforms and dense mechanical factories. Black waste spewed from enormous smokestacks, obscuring the sky.
Its once-green continents had been converted into towering cannon emplacements and barracks. Countless mechanical infantry units of various forms were being "printed" on assembly lines before marching in perfect unison to their respective defensive zones.
In the planet’s low orbit, several massive, ring-shaped space stations hovered like loyal steel behemoths, guarding their home world.
Countless unmanned drones, heavy-class spaceships, and mechanized space warriors traveled back and forth between the bases, forming an impenetrable steel web across the sky.
Qin Feng’s vast Mental Power, spanning a staggering seventy thousand light-years, spread out like an invisible tide. Within a single second, it had captured every detail of the planet—from its surface to its core, from its atmosphere to its low orbit—and imprinted it all in his mind.
And in the instant his Mental Power swept over it.
WHIR—WHIR—WHIR—!
A piercing alarm, shrill enough to tear the soul apart, instantly blared from every corner of the planet!
Countless War Fortresses, previously dormant, began flashing with an eerie red light.
Immediately after, tens of thousands of spaceships swarmed out from the space stations like a disturbed beehive. Their engines flared with blue plasma flames as they converged on Qin Feng’s position with unimaginable speed.
Once they were within effective range, there was no warning and no probing attack.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
An overwhelming barrage of Spiritual Energy Cannon Fire tore through the dark cosmos, forming a curtain of death made of pure energy that roared toward Qin Feng!
"Oh?"
Faced with a saturation attack that would make any Interstellar Fleet turn pale, Qin Feng’s face instead showed a hint of interest.
’The power of this Spiritual Energy Cannon Fire is somewhat beyond my expectations.
Its energy concentration and penetration are already comparable to the standard-issue weapons our Human Race Empire produces using the principles of Knowledge Creations.
An attack of this intensity could probably kill a planetary-level Martial Artist of the Infinite Sea Realm with ease, and it could even inflict significant damage on a newly ascended Constant Star-level expert.’
