Garbage meteorite interior.

Pitch-black caves, damp ground, floating dirty water droplets.

In this microgravity environment, the air is thin, and most microorganisms can hardly survive. Only a few anaerobic bacteria barely cling to the surrounding walls, emitting a faint green fluorescence.

The scattered green lights, in this dark underground, are like an alternative starry sky.

Buzz!

In an instant, two afterimages flashed through the cave.

One afterimage was black-purple, with four purple wings on its back.

The other was wrapped in a dark red flame gauze, the snow-white body reflecting a fiery red halo.

Tzz.

Suddenly, both stopped at the same time, floating in mid-air.

"Come out!"

The purple-winged mech said in a low voice, looking straight ahead.

No one responded.

But...

Chi!!

In an instant, a black shadow pounced out, roaring fiercely at him.

The black shadow was extremely fast. In this microgravity environment, without much air resistance, the efficiency of converting explosive power into speed was greatly improved.

Almost in a flash.

The distance of dozens of meters disappeared instantly, and a black claw grabbed the four-winged mech head-on.

'Dragonkin!? As expected, they are here!!'

The mech dodged, avoiding the sharp claws, raised its hand and grabbed the opponent's arm, and slammed it to the ground.

Boom!!!

The whole movement was smooth and natural. After knocking the opponent down, he ejected a flickering purple-black dagger from his elbow and stabbed it down.

Puchi, blood splattered, blocked by the shield force field, and slowly slid down.

"Crimson Lotus." On the other side, the floating red mech raised its hand, the muzzle of the palm opened, and a blazing flame spewed out.

The flame seemed to be of a special nature. Once it stuck to the ground in the cave, it would keep burning and would not be extinguished.

But in the darkness, one Dragonkin after another roared out. They all had crocodile heads and were incredibly strong.

The Dragonkin's skin was brownish at first and not very fast. They were burned to death by the two mechs in a few moments.

But as more and more Dragonkin rushed out, the scales became thicker and thicker, and the color became darker and darker.

Their speed also began to increase, and their heat resistance became stronger and stronger.

"Don't get entangled with them, rush in!" the red flame mech shouted sharply.

"Okay!"

Both mechs suddenly lit up with white light.

"Overclocking mode, activate." The four-winged mech transformed again, the light wings behind him suddenly stretched, becoming more than three meters long, and then gently vibrated.

Whoosh!

In an instant, he broke through ten times the speed of sound and rushed into the depths of the cave.

But he only rushed in a short distance.

Suddenly, a little colorful light flickered and flew, hitting the side of the four-winged mech.

Clang!!!

The mech and the colorful light retreated to their original positions.

"Who!!?"

The four-winged mech roared in anger.

"This flying instrument..." The red mech, which had killed a large number of Dragonkin, followed closely and saw the colorful flying instrument that had been bounced away.

"It's Jiu Yi, it's Jiu Yi Ding Meng's exclusive flying instrument: Ning Meng Dao." (Dream-Condensing Blade)

"Kong He... Long time no see. I didn't expect you to come here." In the darkness, a slender figure surrounded by a faint colorful light slowly walked out of the shadows.

It was actually Ding Meng of Jiu Yi, who had been missing and captured.

"You were actually captured here?" The red mech found it hard to believe.

"Is Star Lake confident enough to fight the Three Shadow Dragons now? You actually chased them here." Half of the dragon scales on Ding Meng's face wriggled slightly, as if covered by a large number of black worms.

"...Here, is this the main nest of the Three Shadow Dragons?" The expression of the face inside Kong He's mech suddenly froze.

They came here, thinking that the Three Shadow Dragons were being held back by the Yi Kingdom army, so they came here to rescue people and destroy this stronghold. They never expected to meet Ding Meng here!?

"You, as a Jiu Yi, actually!?" Kong He couldn't believe it. That was Jiu Yi!! An existence at the highest peak of countless flying instrument masters.

She was actually captured and controlled by the Shadow Eaters!?

Was this a joke!?

"The Scourge of Star Lake, and the top ten ministers of the Ideal Township? Indeed, they are good forces, but this is not a place you should come to." Ding Meng said lightly.

A colorful flying knife slowly emerged beside her.

"Go, while I can still control myself." Although she was controlled, her powerful consciousness still gave her a little bit of autonomous control.

Therefore, even when facing the Ideal Township and Star Lake, two terrifying organizations, she was unwilling to help the evildoers.

"Even if you are Jiu Yi, without the support of the infinite energy on the moon and earth, your protective force field and flying instrument cannot be fully deployed, and coupled with your controlled mind, your strength is only one-tenth of what it was. Do you think you can defeat the two of us working together?"

Chen, the minister of the Ideal Township, was not intimidated. Instead, he quickly reacted.

Jiu Yi was indeed extremely strong, but that was built on the basis of the powerful industrial system of the Yi Kingdom. Without the support of a large number of power plants, Ding Meng's strength would definitely be greatly reduced, at most she would be a top-level eighth-order cultivator.

In addition, her combat awareness was not strong, so her strength was reduced by half.

"Useless..." A trace of sigh flashed in Ding Meng's eyes.

Swish!

In an instant, dozens of densely packed colorful flying knives appeared behind her.

On all the flying knives, wisps of white eye-shaped patterns lit up.

"Phantom Dream Rain·Type Five."

Chichi chichi!!!

In an instant, all the flying knives burst out, shooting towards the two at an average speed of ten times the speed of sound.

In an instant, she unleashed a group attack equivalent to the combined force of dozens of top-level eighth-order flying instrument masters.

Seeing this scene, Kong He and Minister Chen's expressions changed drastically, and they tried to dodge, but the surrounding space was narrow and they could not dodge at all.

Boom boom boom!!!!

Continuous bombardment vibrated.

Li Cheng Yi slowly walked in the underground cave.

The surroundings were full of metal garbage sticking out in all directions, the ground was covered with black oily liquid, and the air was filled with tiny particles of dirty water.

The water droplets were like sand, blown around by the explosions and air currents that rushed out of the cave from time to time.

The vibrations of the battle ahead did not disturb Li Cheng Yi's pace. He did not accelerate, but steadily walked forward step by step.

As if taking a walk.

Countless flying water droplets and dust were naturally separated and passed from both sides just before they hit him.

That was the blood essence playing its role.

"Come out."

Suddenly, he stopped, tilted his head slightly, and looked behind him.

"You've been following me all the way, don't you think I really didn't notice you?"

The cave behind him was quiet, as if no one was really following him.

But Li Cheng Yi was patient, he continued to wait, standing still.

A full ten seconds.

A figure slowly walked out of the darkness behind him.

A tall humanoid figure wearing a white robe and a white mask, even a strand of hair was wrapped tightly.

"You, who are you?" Li Cheng Yi narrowed his eyes, carefully examining the other party.

This guy gave him a very strange feeling.

His aura was unpredictable, changing drastically all the time.

Both his consciousness and physical aura were rapidly changing.

"You can call me the Blank One." The humanoid replied softly, using standard Yi Kingdom language.

"The Blank One? Heh, are you trying to play tricks in front of me?" A trace of coldness appeared in Li Cheng Yi's eyes.

"What is the purpose of the Garden of Destiny coming here? Can you tell me clearly?" the humanoid asked seriously.

"Do I need to determine whether you are qualified to stand in front of me and speak?" Li Cheng Yi's right hand drooped, and wisps of white blood essence wrapped around his forearm, like flames attached to it, burning and jumping.

"We have been maintaining the balance of this world to avoid the opening of the Great Cycle. If you do not want everything to restart and return to its place, then please help us maintain everything," the humanoid explained.

"The Great Cycle? What do you mean? Explain clearly." Li Cheng Yi was about to attack, but stopped slightly when he heard this word.

He could sense that the other party really had no malice towards him.

Both the Seven Intent Saint Spirit Art and the ability to absorb evil thoughts could detect the other party's peace.

"Forbidden knowledge prevents me from directly conveying it to you. This is a secret that can only be inherited after the death of the previous person." The humanoid answered softly, "All I can tell you is... avoid the Great Destruction and maintain the existing balance of everything is our only goal. In fact, even if we don't meet here, we will still meet soon..."

"Forbidden knowledge... you also know about it?" Li Cheng Yi's heart trembled.

"The existence of the Garden of Destiny has broken the balance, and the appearance of dead corners is becoming more and more abnormal..." The humanoid paused, and a pair of eyes seemed to be looking at Li Cheng Yi through the helmet.

"How long can you protect them?"

"Who are you!?" Li Cheng Yi's tone changed.

Someone who could know the deep secrets of the changes in the dead corners... who also knew forbidden knowledge, and whose aura was so complicated.

"Don't worry about who I am. Many people are destined to die, but you have changed that only destiny. A decrease here, an increase elsewhere, everything in the world has always been a huge puzzle. The imbalance of the storm is getting bigger and bigger..." The humanoid's tone was calm, but it carried a kind of inexplicable sorrow.

Deep inside the garbage meteorite.

The Three Shadow Dragons stood in scattered positions, quietly watching the Dragon Scale Throne in the center.

Countless dragon horns grew out from around and below the throne, like weeds. A faint dark red halo radiated from the two rows of symbols on the back of the chair.

"There are still twenty minutes... it's almost time... haven't they been dealt with outside?" Sal retracted his gaze and frowned.

"Ding Meng's strength is okay, but without the support of backup energy, she can only exert up to 30%. The strength of the Dragonkin is far from enough, they are only barely qualified as guards. There is nothing else useful," Ying replied.

"Those two are nothing, as long as Jiu Yi is held back. Time is on our side." Fane maintained the wisps of shadows emanating from his body, and manipulated these shadows to fly into the throne.

Pfft pfft!

Suddenly, several Dragonkin guards screamed and fell to the ground.

"Who!?"

The light golden vertical pupils of the three Shadow Dragons simultaneously looked in that direction.

Icy killing intent swept towards that place like a storm.

Ta.

Ta.

In the sound of two clear footsteps, a white-robed female humanoid slowly walked out of the darkness and stood in front of the Dragon King Ritual Throne.

"Sorry..." The humanoid said softly, "Although it's a bit presumptuous, but... can you please give up the ritual you are doing?"

"What the hell are you!? Coming to die!?" Sal had the most explosive temper and was the first to leave his position and walk towards the other party.

"Dare to kill my Dragonkin, I will teach you what cruelty is!!"

His hands turned into dragon claws, black gas surrounded his body, and two hot breaths spewed out of his nostrils.

There was only a little time left, and he would never allow anyone to interrupt and interfere with their promotion ceremony.

"Give up, you have no chance of winning..." The white-robed person said indifferently, "We are the ones who balance everything. Here, the world always stands on our side."
