What the heck is mechanical ascension? Damn it, with that thing, why would anyone still cultivate? A mortal with it could kill an immortal.
The scene just now was truly shocking to Wan Lei and the others.
Their mindset had always been that if there was an enemy to fight, they would first check their own cultivation, then the enemy's cultivation. If the difference wasn't too great, they would try to fight. Generally, they were invincible among peers.
Weapons were very important, but they also depended on one's own cultivation and strength. Even if they had divine artifacts, the power displayed by those artifacts depended on them.
It was as if he couldn't use the Creation Divine Plate at the Mahayana stage to blast an immortal with a laser, right?
He had no hope of winning.
But that shot just now showed him the hope of mortals killing immortals.
Not the kind of peerless prodigy, but ordinary people could kill immortals.
Is this the power of technology combined with cultivation?
At this moment, Wan Lei suddenly remembered what the dog had said before. Several immortals, when they were still in the Nascent Soul stage, had killed over a thousand immortal-level demons!
It was by relying on vacuum implosion bombs.
"Do you have vacuum implosion bombs?"
Wan Lei asked involuntarily.
"No."
Wan Qianxin shook his head without hesitation.
"This thing is a military-controlled weapon. Besides being issued by the Five Elements Hall and the Great Tang Empire army during combat, it cannot be obtained elsewhere.
This is a prohibited item. Its power is too great. Mortals holding it can kill a nest of immortals. The control is very strict.
I advise you not to have any ideas about vacuum implosion bombs. If you are found to possess it without permission, then you and your seller will be severely punished."
"Then what about the one you have? I saw it's even more powerful than a vacuum implosion bomb."
"How is that possible? Vacuum implosion bombs cause area-of-effect damage. Of course, some small ones are not counted. The explosion of a vacuum implosion bomb will turn hundreds of miles around into wasteland.
Ours is not a controlled weapon because to use it, one must have the cultivation of the Grand Void stage and be able to afford expensive shells. Moreover, the damage is lower and the harm is smaller, so it is not a controlled weapon.
Large-scale killing weapons like vacuum implosion bombs are controlled weapons. Our quad-beam Dao Rhyme Pulse Cannon is already the extreme of non-controlled weapons."
Wan Lei nodded upon hearing this.
"Our human race's physical bodies are frail. Whether it's the God race, the Demon race, or the Demon race, their physical bodies are stronger than ours. Although we have countless divine abilities and techniques, these skills take too long to prepare and are easily ambushed.
Secondly, we are at a disadvantage in close combat, with too low a tolerance for error. You can hit ten of the enemy's divine abilities and they won't die, but the enemy comes and smashes your head with a punch. Where do you go to reason?"
Wan Lei took over and said with a smile,
"So humans have another idea: can't we just kill the enemy before they kill us? So they developed these powerful weapons to compensate for the shortcomings of the human race."
"That's right. All fear of the unknown stems from insufficient firepower. As long as the firepower is strong enough, who cares what enemy it is? A round of artillery fire will settle it."
Wan Lei and Wan Qianxin were chatting animatedly, but Dada did not agree with these words and defended her race.
"Hmph, you immortals love to research these flashy external things. I say, nothing is more reliable than your own abilities. If you are caught in close combat by our God race, your weapons will also be smashed flat with one punch."
Wan Qianxin glanced at Dada with a half-smile,
"Stay further away. If you can survive that shot without dying, I'll admit you're right."
"Hmph, humph humph..."
Dada hummed a few times, but couldn't say anything else.
At this time, Xia Yubing had picked up the fire lotus and ran to Han Xiaoyun, proudly offering it like a treasure.
"Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun, here's a flower for you. This flower is as beautiful as you."
Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu's eyes were somewhat surprised. This kid looked dull, but he could also use a flower to win favor. His words were so sweet, he was a good candidate for picking up girls.
"Why are you giving it to me? Bao Bao killed the enemy, and the spoils belong to Bao Bao."
"She's not fire-attributed. What's the use of this thing? This is useful to you."
"I don't want it, I don't accept charity."
"You..."
Seeing that the little girl was unresponsive, the little boy also became anxious. Suddenly, he saw Bao Bao staring at him unhappily not far away, which scared him into smiling shyly. He took the fire lotus and gave it to Bao Bao.
After Bao Bao received the fire lotus, she flew to the fire phoenix, who had already transformed into human form, and said with a sweet smile,
"Big sister, I'll give this to you. It's very useful to you."
The fire phoenix was stunned and immediately shook her head.
"How can that be? This is your thing, I can't accept it."
What a joke. These children were so powerful. How could she accept their things for free? It would be more detrimental than beneficial if their relationship was spoiled.
At this moment, Wan Qianxin spoke again,
"Take it. This thing accumulates over time and can help you break through to the immortal realm. After all, this kind of thing is most suitable for the Lava race, and it is also helpful for cultivators of fire attribute, but it is of no use to us.
Any form of energy accumulation is useless to us; what we need is experience and enlightenment."
Seeing that the fire phoenix was still refusing, Bao Bao directly stuffed the fire lotus into the fire phoenix's hand, giggling, her eyes full of goodwill.
"Thank you."
Wan Lei said sincerely.
"You're welcome."
"With the weapon you had just now, plus our strength, it would be easy for us to slaughter the giant beasts here. We could kill all the giant beasts on this continent within three years and take all the fire lotuses."
Wan Lei's suggestion greatly excited the others, but Wan Qianxin still shook his head.
"It's not cost-effective. The value of a fire lotus is far less than a shell.
A fire lotus sold at the Five Elements Hall would only fetch a hundred thousand spirit stones, but a shell costs fifteen million spirit stones. Those four shots just now cost sixty million spirit stones.
Why spend sixty million spirit stones to get something worth a hundred thousand spirit stones?"
Wan Qianxin paused before continuing,
"Although no one lacks this little money, there's no need to do a losing business."
Wan Lei's mind went blank.
What misunderstanding do you have about "little money"? Damn, sixty million spirit stones were gone just like that? The unit here is mid-grade spirit stones, which is equivalent to six hundred million spirit stones in the Thunder Wind Realm.
When the Thunder Emperor Hall was first established, it didn't even have this much wealth. It was gone with a slight flick of your fingers?
"That's right."
Wan Lei nodded, forcing himself to remain calm.
"Our goal is to gain experience, not to slaughter. We still need to rely on our own strength to fight enemies and hone ourselves. We cannot always rely on technological weapons.
Moreover, our mission is different from yours."
