The Geared Immortal

Chapter 941 - The Inner Kingdom: Break Through

Chapter 941

(Unedited)

…

Inside the void where darkness is abundant, flickering lights could be seen providing illumination just like fireflies in the dark.

This is followed by the sound of loud explosions which seem to continue forever.

In this dark void, hundreds and thousands of metal fragments could be seen floating everywhere. As one wrecked mech after another could be seen floating.

The battle between Shin Jiao and the shadow dragon has already intensified to such a degree, that Shin Jiao has almost used around 5 mechs. Luckily for him, he has stored and continuously converts most of his mechs inside his dimension into using a mana engine.

But seeing the 5 wreckage made his heart bleed in pain. This is the most dangerous fight he has ever been ever since he started in the path to his cultivation. There are three battles that he experienced where he almost lost his life.

The first one was the hybrid beast while he was defending the town of Dis, where he lost his cultivation for the first time. Then after recovering, he encountered the demon general where he was transported back to earth and lost his memory. And the last one was before coming to the immortal land where he encounters a shadow being.

Although there are more, those battles were the things that he could not forget because it has forged his strength and ability further.

And now he is fighting once again for his life against a being more powerful than he has ever encountered before.

Shin Jiao's strong body has received a lot of wounds already and he is already panting while looking at the shadow dragon.

But the dragon itself has also suffered from many wounds on its body.

As the two faces each other in extreme vigilance they tried their best to recover as much energy as they can.

"Human, I see now that you are not some ordinary being… I am in awe of your prowess. But… your struggles are all futile…" the shadow dragon suddenly said with a smirk.

His shape slowly changes and once again turned into a 7-foot tall human figure.

But Shin Jiao felt a little depressed at this time is because of the condition of his enemy's body. Once he transformed into the figure of a human, all of his wounds when he was a dragon were all gone.

Shin Jiao looks at this scene with a helpless gaze.

"Hahaha… I will now show you how powerful I truly am…" the shadow demon said as his figure vanished from his spot.

Wham!!!

The strong impact sent the mech flying in the air.

Then this was followed by several attacks from all over the place making the mech bounce from one place to another like a helpless ball.

"Hahaha… What now? You cannot fight against me! Hahaha… Come out and I will see that you will die a painless death!" shouted the demon as he continuously pummeled the black mech.

The situation looks disadvantageous for Shin Jiao and it looks like the demon is winning the battle. However, Shin Jiao who is inside the mech calmly watches the monitor. In his hand is a large ore filled with universe energy.

In this battle, he has been absorbing one ore after another to replace the mana inside his spheres. The mana is inserted in the engine of the mechs which serves as backup power for shields and beams.

After losing all of the mana, Shin Jiao now began to absorb the universe's energy inside the many ores in his dimension.

After the extreme battle, he showed a faint smile on his face because now, he has already reached the bottleneck of his cultivation level which is level 79.

"It's time for me to break through to the Lord's realm…" he muttered as he began circulating his dantian and forcefully created the 80th sphere.

Shin Jiao shouted in pain as he gritted his teeth.

The demon outside who is attacking the mech showed a wicked smirk.

"Hahaha… Die! Die!" the demon also shouted as he continuously attacks the meck from left to right, up and down, and vice versa.

After a while, the demon suddenly stopped attacking. This is because he now notices that the structural integrity of the metal golem in front of him is actually not receiving any damages.

Then upon closer inspection, the demon almost cursed in anger.

This is because; this black metallic golem is actually made of a dark ore, the strongest metal in the known universe. So how could he know that such a rare metal would be transformed into a golem by a lowly human?

But right in front of his eyes, he now noticed that such a thing is actually possible.

When he stopped, he suddenly noticed the mech suddenly moving.

Swoosh!!!

He tried dodging leisurely because the mech's speed is not that fast. However, he soon discovers that something seems to have latched itself on his body. It is something that he could not see.

But this pause was enough for the black blade on the mech's hand to strike him.

Feeling dumbfounded, the demon did not struggle and let itself be cut in half by its waist.

The reason for this is because it is confident that it could still recover after this attack. So with a slight smirk on its lips, it lets itself be cut in half.

"Haha… futile struggle." The demon laughed.

But then what happened next made the demon a little dumbfounded.

When the mech was passing through, a figure suddenly appears in front of the demon. It saw the human has his eyes glowing and his expression in pain.

Shin Jiao is using his psychokinesis to stop the demon. The energy in his body is still not enough to form the 80th sphere, so he decided to gamble.

"You came out to die!" the demon shouted.

Although half of its body is severed, it still could move its arms. Without hesitation, it suddenly strikes Shin Jiao's heart with its long sharp claws.

But how could Shin Jiao let this chance slip? Since his target did not run, he would gladly accept this attack and use the technique he has learned before.

The technique would not discriminate any types of energy and his body would gladly absorb it. However, the backslash of this technique is tremendous that he is not sure whether he would be successful or not.

When the tip of the claw pierces through Shin Jiao's skin, he immediately activated the technique in his mind as an array was formed inside of his body.

"Essence Syphon…" he thought.

Suddenly, a strong suction force was felt by the demon which startled it.

"No… this… technique… How… how could a human… How could a human use this technique?" the demon shouted in anger.

But then Shin Jiao muttered another word with a slight smile on his face as the lightly golden crimson liquid was spilled out of his mouth.

"Ying and Yang energy void?!..."

The demon this time is now thoroughly flabbergasted. Ying and Yang energy void is a technique used by the Shadow Beings to absorb any type of energy that could convert into dark energy for their bodies. And the same principle would happen if used by others, from dark energy to universe energy.

And so a large amount of energy came crashing towards Shin Jiao's dantian and was converted into the universe's energy which immediately broke his bottleneck.

However, this forceful creation of the 80th sphere gave Shin Jiao a huge amount of pain that he wanted to stop. However, if he did so, then there is a tendency that there would be a drawback and both of their bodies would surely explode.

And so he perseveres through the painful process as two painful howls could be heard inside the void.

It was very painful that Shin Jiao almost passed out. Meanwhile, the demon has already inserted his other claw on Shin Jiao's shoulder in an attempt to free itself, but it was also stuck.

The process was extreme torture as Shin Jiao closed his eyes and forcefully revolves his dantian without minding the pain.

He just endures and continues until he did not know how long he has been in such a condition. Shin Jiao himself is not aware of the flow of time and has been immersed in such a state.

He did not even notice that he has already passed out.

…

Ugh…

Shin Jiao muttered as his floating figure in the void could be seen opening his eyes.

The demon is already gone as his essence has been absorbed by Shin Jiao and was transformed into pure universal energy.

He slowly opens his eyes and looks around for a bit.

Crack! Crack!

His body began issuing cracking sounds as he could feel his bones becoming a little stiff.

"How… How long was I unconscious." He muttered while checking his surroundings.

When he noticed that the demon is truly not present anymore, he heaves a sigh of relief. Then his gaze landed on the floating figure which he has already marked from before while he is fighting against the demon.

But before he could move, he suddenly discovers something that filled his heart with delight.

Inside his dantian, there are two surprises that he did not expect. One is the number of his spheres reaching 84, and then a small black object that looks like a pearl.

"Hmm… This… this is dark essence…"
