CHAPTER 288: CHAPTER 273 STAR ORIGIN STONE

"I am the ’Golden River War God’; this is my signature technique—’Golden River Blade Flow’! Future generations, if you wish to learn my signature technique, then comprehend it well, haha..."

The hearty, carefree laughter echoed in Wang Xu’s mind.

In the ethereal void, a majestic white figure, graceful yet robust, held a golden long sword, laughing to the sky. Then, with a swift movement, the long sword in his hand began to dance like water.

"’Golden River Blade Flow’? I really want to see how strong the Celestial God Realm figures in the Wu Meng Sacred Cosmos truly are." Wang Xu felt a sense of anticipation.

The golden sword light surged forward like a roaring river, rushing with great intensity.

The endless golden rivers flowed in the void, and wherever they passed, stars instantly obliterated, an unstoppable force.

Wang Xu watched carefully, pondering, and analyzing each move within the technique.

Ten days passed in a flash...

"The scene disappeared." Just as he was repeating his 238th viewing, the surroundings suddenly changed, Wang Xu’s spiritual consciousness was cut off, and he returned to reality, "Ten days is simply not enough."

These ten days of comprehension significantly improved Wang Xu’s sword technique; the sword technique left by the Wu Meng experts on the divine stone was unique compared to the outside cosmos, possessing its own secrets, from which Wang Xu greatly benefited.

However, the comprehension time was only ten days, far too little, wholly inadequate.

"Junior brother Wang Xu, let’s go and complete the task first."

Lu Chen came over, the divine stone greatly benefited him too, but the constraint of time prevented him from gaining deeper insights.

Wang Xu nodded, and immediately the two left the Wu Meng Divine Hall, parting to carry out their tasks.

......

"Big brother, where are we going?" Ai’ai asked while licking her cotton candy.

"To the Western Regions, to find the Innate Qi-Combining Grass." Wang Xu gently patted Ai’ai’s head, "Ai’ai, you must remember, never let anyone touch you, or they will go to great lengths to take you away from me, understand?"

Ai’ai nodded obediently, "Big brother, I remember!"

"Wang Xu, come out." Wang Xu concentrated, and the Sacred Idol Wang Xu appeared from the space treasure.

"Master."

"Switch consciousness, enter the Sand Tower, and cultivate the four endless techniques."

The Sacred Idol Wang Xu executed the orders meticulously, and immediately the two exchanged consciousness. The master Wang Xu directly entered the mixed cosmos within the Sacred Idol.

"Big brother! Why are there two of you? Is that your clone?" Ai’ai’s big eyes sparkled.

"Yes, do you like clones? Big brother will make another one appear for you!" Wang Xu said with a smile, then several clones emerged from his body, each looking exactly like Wang Xu.

"Wow—" Ai’ai clapped her hands with joy, circling the clones, sometimes tugging at a sleeve, pinching the skin, or holding one of the big hands, playing happily.

Wang Xu smiled gently; monotony had become a habit for him, but Ai’ai was still a six or seven-year-old girl, full of curiosity for all things strange and new, so he immediately instructed several clones to accompany Ai’ai, while he sat cross-legged by himself, entering the state of spiritual consciousness cultivation.

"With the strength of the Sacred Idol, the attack is not weaker than the master, even without the Endless Saber, it can kill someone at the demigod chaos realm using an Immortal Spirit Soldier!" Wang Xu thought to himself, "As for the master, let him stay in the mixed cosmos, as Earth’s last line of defense and as my trump card."

Traveling in the Wu Meng Sacred Cosmos, Wang Xu decided to present himself with the "Six-Star Special War Venerable" realm of the Sacred Idol.

In battles with enemies, as long as they weren’t those with an enormous gap like the Celestial God Realm, the Sacred Idol could contend for a while. At critical moments, having the master unexpectedly appear; with two powers surpassing the demigod chaos realm in action, who under the Celestial God Realm could withstand?

Relying on the special nature of the undying inheritance, Wang Xu had two lives, double the strength, fully capable of matching anyone below the Celestial God Realm.

......

Five years later.

On the bustling street lined with buildings, differing from ultra-civilized mechanical structures and advanced technology, the architecture of the Western Regions skewed towards ancient style. All buildings were made from wood and stone, with only a few constructed using steel.

The passing Wu Meng warriors mostly wore mechanical warriors, showing only a cold face, some even completely enclosed in their mechanical armor, unwilling to reveal their true appearance.

Every Wu Meng warrior here had a vigilant look, nerves constantly taut, ready to enter combat mode at any moment.

This is the peculiarity of the Western Regions.

Being near the alien battlefield, the Western Regions’ star town frequently had alien infiltrators; when attacked, if unresponsive, one would be directly killed by the alien warriors.

Thus, for self-protection and to deal with emergencies, Wu Meng warriors always wore mechanical warriors, armed to the teeth, not daring to slack off even for a moment.

"Look! That’s the latest Humanoid Combat AOA Mecha!"

"Really, I’ve only seen it on the virtual network, one piece is worth eighty million Wu Meng Crystals, only War God Level adults can afford it!"

"This person must be a big figure at the War God Level, we should quickly avoid him and definitely not provoke him!"

On the street, a figure with green electronic circuits covering its entire body walked leisurely by, its face hidden beneath mecha, making it impossible to sense its aura, but the surrounding Wu Meng Warriors whispered in awe about this figure.

"It seems the choice to purchase this AOA Mecha was quite correct, it happens to be useful here."

This figure in AOA Mecha was none other than Wang Xu.

He traveled through multiple teleport points on the Space-Time Whale and finally reached the depths of the Western Regions, the "Padero Star Domain."

It’s a small Star Domain, but it has experienced chaos after alien incursions, with millions of ordinary beings perishing in that war. Not even War Venerable Level powerhouses could stop it, until a War God Level powerhouse took action and killed the aliens.

Since then, the Padero Star Domain has become one of the dangerous star domains, always needing to be on guard to prevent unforeseen incidents.

"Putting on the Mechanical Warriors can conceal my aura and identity, while boosting my defensive power, killing two birds with one stone." The sacred image’s flesh body is very weak, remaining in the Immortal Chaos Realm, and without the protection of a Divine Treasure, can’t withstand even a single strike from a Demigod Chaos realm.

But with the AOA Mecha, there’s no need to worry about these issues, even a War God Level expert cannot rip apart the AOA Mecha with a single strike.

Soon, Wang Xu stopped walking.

"This is Padero trade market."

Even though the Padero Star Domain is small, it is a vital route to entering the Western Regions Battlefield, making it extremely prosperous.

On the floating screens around, various kinds of information are displayed. Ancient Medicine, Ancient Ores, War Soldiers, Imperial Armor, Energy Arrays, Mechanical Warriors, etc... A dazzling variety to behold.

Likewise, the merchants’ vigilance is very high, nearly every stall has Wu Meng Warriors in mechanical armor standing guard, the smaller ones have one or two Wu Meng Warriors, and the larger ones have more than a dozen, always on high alert.

Wang Xu entered it, attracting many eyes due to the unique and dazzling AOA Mecha, with some even coming up to inquire if Wang Xu was willing to sell his AOA Mecha.

Wang Xu coldly waved them off, not saying a word as he walked forward. Near the Western Regions Battlefield, all Wu Meng Warriors hoping to get treasures from the battleground want to equip themselves with better gear to enhance their strength.

"I’ve wandered around, but haven’t found the Innate Qi-Combining Grass." Wang Xu was somewhat disappointed.

After several rounds, Wang Xu’s Spiritual Consciousness scanned tens of times, searching every corner, but still couldn’t find the Innate Qi-Combining Grass.

"Ai’ai, let’s go." Beside him, Ai’ai was also adorned in Mechanical Warriors, bouncing joyfully, full of affection for this unique new attire.

Unable to find the Innate Qi-Combining Grass, Wang Xu had no choice but to seek out other star domains.

"Big brother, I want that!" Ai’ai pointed her little hand at a small stall in the distance.

"Oh? What caught your eye?"

Ai’ai led Wang Xu to the small stall, where a Wu Meng Warrior in red mecha stood aside, scrutinizing Wang Xu, while the stall owner, a Wu Meng Warrior with a triangular head and body, glanced at Wang Xu without speaking.

"Big brother, I want this." Now Wang Xu saw clearly, Ai’ai wanted a piece of "Star Origin Stone."

"Little guy, do you want to gamble on stones?" The owner spoke.

Stone gambling is a form of entertainment for Wu Meng Warriors, also a highly challenging method of gambling.

The Star Origin Stone is mined from the Ancient Ore Vein Star, concealing all its aura inside a tough exterior, can only be opened slowly using high-temperature heat rays.

The Star Origin Stone may contain precious ancient ores, invaluable, or it can have entirely useless scrap debris.

However, before dissection, it’s hard for outsiders to know exactly what it contains. Only seasoned, perceptive Wu Meng Warriors can roughly guess... but it’s still just a guess, no one truly knows what will emerge.

"Do you want this Star Origin Stone?"

Ai’ai nodded sincerely, seemingly finding this head-sized Star Origin Stone very important.

"One hundred thousand Wu Meng Crystals." The owner knew Wang Xu would ask the price, straightforwardly stated it.

"Alright." Wang Xu agreed without any hesitation, he had an abundance of Wu Meng Crystals, not caring a bit about this amount.

After the transaction, the owner looked at Wang Xu: "Need help dissecting it? For your sister’s sake, I can do it for free."

Dissecting a Star Origin Stone is a highly technical task, usually requiring a fee, showing that this owner has a good heart.

Wang Xu shook his head with a slight smile: "No need, thank you."

Then, Wang Xu took the Star Origin Stone and placed it in Ai’ai’s hands, her face immediately lighting up with joy, hugging the Star Origin Stone tightly.

"Wait!" Just as Wang Xu and Ai’ai were about to leave, suddenly a voice called out, a figure clad in golden mechanical armor appeared before Wang Xu. (To be continued.
