Chapter 441 — Machinery Too May Attain Divinity (Thanks to the Silver League patron 'Zhai Cai'!)

"Wind Qilin!"

At that moment, the most shaken of all was Lie Shijin

—he could scarcely believe it... The Wind Qilin clan had been the first

to be exterminated in the early days of the invasion war. He had not seen them for a long

time, and never imagined that in a later age

he could still see a Wind Qilin wielding the fortune of wind. (2)

"How is this possible... this is mechanical life??" he said, unable to comprehend.

Donghuang said, "This species is called Mechanical Mountain,

and it may also be called Mechanical Phantom God."

"Through mechanical means, with the aid of ancient

fossils, I revived and created it as an entirely new form of mechanical life."

"Because it inherited the divine wind from the mythical creature's fossil

domain. The kingdom inherited the Divine Wind Kingdom's power and barely stepped into the realm of gods.

"Judged by life form alone, it is indeed a mechanical

life."

The moment Donghuang finished speaking, Lie Shijin's expression shifted once

again.

Pfft——

It staggered back a step, its whole body convulsing, a trace of blood

seeping from its eyes and the corner of its mouth, an expression of shock spreading across its face.

At the same time, seeing Lie Shijin suddenly seem to have been

wounded, every totem demigod, every Legendary

powerhouse, every living being present also suddenly wore a look of

disbelief.

What—what had happened?

How had this deity suddenly come to look as though it had been

injured?

"No way..."

"Surely it can't be..."

The Elf Empress of Tingxiang and the Dragon God's expressions shifted slightly. Could it

really be...

Only the little white dragon of Jilan City was the most agitated of all. This—

this was familiar! 2

Back when it had dueled Lin, it too had been inexplicably

wiped out!

At that moment, the little white dragon was utterly stunned. Holy shit, so

that meant the Jiaqi it had fought was a mythological cub?!

"That's right—it's the Blessing of Wind!" At that moment,

in the sky, Xuanming said with a shocked expression, "Even among divine

skills, it counts as one of the stronger few.

"So this is the divine skill of the Wind Qilin clan..."

Lie Shijin's expression turned savage. "Truly remarkable. This is

the first time I have seen it—it can actually affect my state. If

its power were two tiers higher, it might well

have wounded me outright."

"Interesting... The mechanical faction has actually revived

an extinct divine beast?!"

It ought to be the worst-recovered of the seven deities,

and currently the weakest of them all. Yet Lie Shijin

had never expected that the mechanical life before it could, through

this inherited quasi-divine skill, directly affect its

state!

Reviving mythological power, cross-species inheritance of quasi-divine skills...

...such means were rare even in the mythological era.

And the human race had achieved it through the mechanical faction?!

At once, as Xuanming, Lie Shijin, and the other deities exchanged

words back and forth, all around them—whether transcendent beings or

humans—stared at Donghuang and Lin in the arena, utterly dumbfounded.

...and stalled.

It came to them in a flash: the most familiar record they had of Shijin...

was still that of the creator of the Mechanical Mountain Range...

This beast, everyone was left gaping, this

beast... They had thought that Donghuang's earlier use of a beast-taming talent to just barely help Can Baobao graze the edge of the divine domain

was already outrageous enough.

But now, watching Donghuang summon a Storm Kirin phantom beast

with no auxiliary support at all, one that directly manifested divine-wind kingdom power and even

forced a mythic lifeform to bleed a little,

whether the human clans of the seven nations or the totem alien races,

in that moment, their composure shattered completely.

The machinists who had meant to show off their prowess were

utterly beside themselves with grief, their eyes ashen!!

What on earth is with this Jia Qi!!!

Please, someone, any great master out there, take this Jia Qi in hand,

don't let him compete in the World Tournament!!

They truly could not endure it any longer!
