Chapter 1478: The Retaliatory Mechanism

Xu Que’s unexpected laugh instantly astonished everyone present.

His whole body’s vigor suddenly surged as if there had been an invisible force that had exploded from inside his body. He let out a speech of stuff and nonsense to insult the three Celestial Kings, demanding that they must cry!

DING! “It has been detected that the host’s life is currently in danger. Would you like to enable the System defense mechanism?”

At this time, the System’s beep rang out again in Xu Que’s mind.

Xu Que’s lips curled up at the corners into a big smile as he said, “Enable. No matter what mechanisms there are, enable them all for me.”

BOOM!

The next moment, a storm suddenly swirled up, surrounding Xu Que’s whole body.

The shine from the approaching swords was instantly destroyed by the storm and Qi abruptly gathered from all directions, swarming toward Xu Que.

“What?”

Li Xuanqi’s face immediately changed. He found this completely inconceivable. The Sword Act that he’d unleashed had actually been so easily defused.

“What was that power that arrived like a sudden storm?”

The two Celestial Kings of the Sage Sect, along with all the people who were present and watching, were stunned one and all.

DING! “The System’s primary defense mechanism has been activated!”

DING! “The System’s optimization mechanism has been activated!”

“It has been detected that the host has mastered many kinds of Flame Magic, their optimization has been carried out for you!”

DING! “All the different kinds of Flame Magic have been merged. Congratulations! The host has now obtained the Yin and Yang Kylin Flame!”

“It has been detected that the host has mastered many kinds of Magic Arts with similar attributes and their optimization has been carried out for you!”

DING! “All the many kinds of Magic Arts have been classified and merged successfully. Can the host please assign a name to these Magic Arts?”

During all this time, a series of System beeps kept ringing out in Xu Que’s mind.

He instantly found that he had cultivated a variety of Magic Arts in the past, whether it was during the earliest stage of the Soaring Dragon’s Nine Transformations or the Three Thousand Volts Lightning, which he’d used for a long time. All the Magic Arts that he’d gotten from the System in the past, including the ones that he’d cultivated on his own later, had almost all disappeared and been forgotten.

And the ones that had now been substituted in his mind were a few strange Magic Arts, which were seemingly unfamiliar, but which immediately gave rise to a sense of innate familiarity deep within his bones.

“This optimization mechanism seems rather interesting.” The smile on Xu Que’s lips was getting bigger and bigger.

The level of these newly merged Magic Arts surpassed the Moon Rank and could be included on the level of the Celestial Arts, which were equivalent to the Celestial Arts used by the Celestial Kings and Celestial Primes.

But in these new Magic Arts, Xu Que also felt some shadow of his old Magic Arts that he’d felt such affection for.

For example, the Bodily Movement Celestial Art, which he’d discovered after the System optimization, obviously contained shades of his once-beloved Three Thousand Volts Lightning, Providence Seclusion Escape, and other Bodily Movement Magic Arts. After the merging of several Bodily Movement Magic Arts, this function had obviously become more mysterious and extraordinary.

Also, his favorites, such as the Buddha’s Fiery Lotus, the Hades Nine Nether Slash, and so on, had all completely disappeared, forming a set of unusual Celestial Arts. The power of the Attack Art visibly outstripped the Magic Art that he had had before.

Other Magic Arts that combined with the physical body had been retained, such as the Occult & Ghostly Ice Fog Hand, which was specially used as a method to restrain a Celestial Artifact.

There was also the Tough-Acting Fist and the Act-Tough King’s Leg, which had been attained through his Taoist Connotation. They had still been retained, thank goodness.

“Hee, hee, hee, with these Magic Arts, I shall step into the Celestial King cultivation stage, and I can aspire to the same level as these guys.” Xu Que couldn’t help but feel restless inside. He’d very much like to try these new Celestial Arts derived from the new version of the System and see what the power would be like.

At least in terms of the levels, none of these Celestial Arts were below the level of Nishang Fairy from the Celestial Cloud Continent.

And at the moment, all of these existed in a nameless state. Xu Que wanted to give them a try before naming them.

But before he could put them to use, the System beep rang out again in his mind.

DING! “The initial optimization mechanism has been completed. The retaliatory mechanism is about to be enabled also. Please note that during the retaliation state, the host will consume ten Acting Tough Points per second. Is the activation confirmed?”

“Ten Acting Tough Points per second?”

“That didn’t seem too expensive. It was much cheaper than the Lucky Aura. Why wouldn’t he activate it?”

“Activate!” Xu Que shouted immediately.

He was really interested in the System’s retaliatory mechanism. No matter what kind of functions emerged from it, Xu Que especially liked at least these two words: retaliatory mechanism.

DING! “The retaliatory mechanism is activated, 3, 2, 1…”

BOOM!

Along with the sound of the System beeps and the counting down of the seconds that had appeared for the first time, a sound of an explosion rumbled in Xu Que’s mind.

Immediately after, he felt as if something had rushed out of his physical body, as if blood had been coming out of all the pores in his body.

Xu Que was completely astounded. He looked down. Suddenly, there was a large amount of liquid metal gushing out of his body and coagulating in front of his body.

“My God, all of you, look, what is that?”

“Metal?”

“How does this kid’s physical body contain so much metal, all of it molten liquid metal?”

“His physical body can’t be a smelting furnace, can it?”

At this time, the many disciples of the Heavenly Palace who were present exclaimed in shock.

Li Xuanqi and the two Celestial Kings of the Sage Sect also looked at Xu Que in horror.

Jiang Hongyan and the others also revealed surprised looks. It was really the first time that they had seen Xu Que in such a situation, and it was also the first time they had seen a cultivator’s physical body gushing out so much liquid metal.

“D*mn, Your Holiness just knew it. This boy has held back a trick or two!” Buttface shouted at once.

“F*ck, how many secrets does this boy really have that we don’t know of?” Duan Jiude also swore as he spoke.

Every time Xu Que brought out something new, it would make them marvel and be amazed.

“Can it be that he wants to forge a magical weapon?” Mo Junchen looked confused. Even if he was good at forging equipment, he’d never seen anything like this.

The liquid metal that had gushed out from Xu Que’s body was suspended in front of him and quickly coagulated to transform into a metal ball.

“Eh, what is this?” Xu Que was a little baffled and asked aloud.

Everyone present’s mouths suddenly fell open. “How can you not know what the thing is that is coming out from your own body?”

“Is this some parts and components that have been pulled out of the System?” At this time, Xu Que was struck dumb when he saw the metal ball in front of the introduction in the System window.

This was the first time he had seen the materialization of the System. Although it was obviously made up of parts and components, he’d never thought that the System itself could be materialized.

SWISH!

At the same time, while Xu Que was still in a kind of daze, the metal ball suddenly glided toward him. Its speed was extremely rapid and started to directly attach to him.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

The next moment, the metal ball instantly unfolded into countless pieces of metal, as if an item of machinery was being assembled, producing heavy metallic collision sounds.

All the pieces of metal followed Xu Que’s body and launched frantically to cover it. Even a helmet was installed around his head area, and the Tough-Acting King’s Purple-Gold Rod that was clenched in his hand was also covered with metal.

In an instant, Xu Que was transformed into a metallic man. Only his face was still exposed.

“F*ck, what the h*ll is this? A high-performance suit of armor?” Xu Que’s eyes widened. He was very shocked.

DING! “The retaliatory mechanism has been activated. The host has entered into a unified human-machine state. The plan of retaliation against the enemies had begun!”
