"What exactly is going on?"

Upon hearing the words "Mechanical Race" and "Three Great Ancient Soldiers," Wang Xu's expression became solemn.

The Mechanical Race, once a dominator of the entire Chaos, was an existence feared by all great clans and Divine Palaces... Anything related to the Mechanical Race is certainly not simple.

Touching the warm Mechanical Ancient Eye on his forehead, Wang Xu looked at You Ji.

"I'm not very familiar with the past of the Mechanical Race, but through years of reading ancient books in the Immortal Tang Divine Palace, piecing together bits of clues I've found inside, I'm sure that the Heaven-Reaching Tower is indeed a Fragment of the Truth of Destruction!" You Ji affirmed, "This would explain why no one has been able to claim ownership of the Heaven-Reaching Tower."

The Heaven-Reaching Tower, no one knows where it came from, and no one knows its true secrets.

Even Zhan Bai, the Heaven-Reaching Saint Venerable, only knows that the Heaven-Reaching Tower generated the Heaven-Reaching Sacred Cosmos, cannot be claimed, and cannot even exhibit a fraction of its true power.

If the Heaven-Reaching Tower is truly a relic of the Mechanical Race, these peculiar phenomena could be reasonably explained.

"According to what I understand, the Mechanical Race was once the absolute ruler of Chaos, even the great clans and Divine Palaces of that time were incomparable to them. Such a terrifying existence, even Qing Fa would be somewhat wary when mentioning them." You Ji spoke in a deep voice.

"Then do you know the reason for the Mechanical Race's ultimate demise?" Wang Xu asked.

Such a giant existence, great clans, Divine Palaces, no one could do anything to it. How could such an existence disappear without any record in the history of Chaos?

"Initially, I didn't know the reason either, but over the years, I've continuously perused ancient texts in the Immortal Tang Divine Palace and deduced a rough cause from them."

You Ji wasn't entirely certain.

The past of the Mechanical Race is a blank in history, some even refusing to acknowledge their existence.

You Ji's discovery came from following Emperor Qing Fa, gaining some insights, and coming to partial conclusions from records left by later generations.

"According to my deduction, the demise of the Mechanical Race is likely related to their Three Great Ancient Soldiers, which they once prided themselves on."

You Ji took a deep breath, "The Three Great Ancient Soldiers are 'Three Thousand Doomsdays,' 'Calamity Shattered,' and 'Truth of Destruction,' and it's truly unimaginable that a fragment of the Truth of Destruction was found in the Ancient Luo Cosmos!"

Next, You Ji detailed the Three Great Ancient Soldiers to Wang Xu.

The Three Thousand Doomsdays was the fundamental basis of the Mechanical Race's establishment.

One Thousand Doomsdays could destroy a Divine Sect, Two Thousand Doomsdays could obliterate a Divine Dynasty, and the full power of Three Thousand Doomsdays could annihilate an entire Divine Palace!

This was the foundation of the Mechanical Race's rise to become a great clan, making them untouchable in Chaos due to the unanticipated emergence of the Three Thousand Doomsdays.

The second Ancient Soldier is named "Calamity Shattered."

This Ancient Soldier is mind-boggling, it is not a weapon of attack, but a weapon of defense.

It is rumored that an Elder of the Mechanical Race provoked an Ancestor Realm existence from a Divine Palace, and under the pressure from the Divine Palace, everyone thought the Mechanical Race would surrender the Elder to appease their anger.

Unexpectedly, the Mechanical Race stood firm, not only not intending to hand over anyone but also making outrageous remarks that enraged the people from the Divine Palace.

In their fury, dozens of Ancestor Realm existences struck, and it was then that something peculiar happened.

All the attacks vanished silently as if they had submerged into the sea without a trace.

When everyone was at a loss for what had happened, the same attacks came back from the Mechanical Race, repelling dozens of Ancestor Realm forces.

This matter remained unresolved, and people learned of that weapon, named "Calamity Shattered," capable of absorbing all attacks and returning them to the adversary.

With the emergence of the two Great Ancient Soldiers, the status of the Mechanical Race was further elevated, making them undoubtedly the foremost power in Chaos.

Soon after, the Ancient Soldier that genuinely instilled fear in many great clans and Divine Palaces was born, which was the third Ancient Soldier of the Mechanical Race — the Truth of Destruction.

The Truth of Destruction completely surpassed the Three Thousand Doomsdays. Its power was so formidable that it was rumored the Mechanical Race once conducted an experiment in a Forbidden Area, and the entire area was reduced to ashes under the bombardment of the Truth of Destruction, as if it had never existed!

Terrifying!

Horrifying!

With the emergence of the Truth of Destruction, people no longer felt awe towards the Mechanical Race but terror and fear.

Such a horrifying weapon, if the Mechanical Race were ever displeased, could they not easily wipe out all the great clans and Divine Palaces?

"Are you saying... the demise of the Mechanical Race was orchestrated by the great clans and Divine Palaces of that era?" Wang Xu grasped a hint of understanding.

"I'm guessing the same, but I've discovered that it wasn't just the great clans and Divine Palaces of our 'Fengye Chaos Cosmos' that participated in the extermination of the Mechanical Race; other forces from various Chaotic Cosmos were involved as well... This explains why the Mechanical Race, despite being at their peak with the Three Great Ancient Soldiers, vanished all of a sudden." You Ji spoke in a deep voice.

It wasn't just the forces from Fengye Chaos Cosmos that took part, but other entities were involved as well?

Based on this alone, Wang Xu could roughly gauge how powerful the Mechanical Race was during that era.

The Fengye Chaos Cosmos refers to the Chaos where Wang Xu is situated. Outside the Chaos realm, there are other Chaotic Cosmos, such as the Kedan Chaos Cosmos, Zhenhun Chaos Cosmos, Earth Chaos Cosmos, and others. They possess civilizations of the same degree as Fengye Chaos Cosmos, and some even more advanced... Only after joining the Immortal Tang Divine Palace did Wang Xu gradually learn about the secrets beyond the Chaos.

But then again, the fact that a force from one Chaotic Cosmos could incite panic from other Chaotic Cosmos shows how powerful that force was.

"The Three Great Ancient Soldiers were either sealed away or disappeared in that annihilating war. Over these many years, they have all been buried with the Mechanical Race in the long river of history... Unexpectedly, truly unexpectedly, I could encounter a fragment of the Truth of Destruction in this sect world!" You Ji said, his tone involuntarily becoming excited again.

Wang Xu pondered, touching the Mechanical Ancient Eye on his forehead.

This Mechanical Ancient Eye was also once lost from the Ancient Luo Cosmos and was later encountered by Wang Xu in the Chaos. If its origin is truly traced, the Ancient Luo Cosmos might indeed have inseparable ties with the Mechanical Race.

More and more mysteries appeared before Wang Xu, and for the moment, Wang Xu had no clue.

"You Ji, you said the Heaven-Reaching Tower is a fragment of the Truth of Destruction, do you mean other fragments of the Truth of Destruction still exist?" Wang Xu inquired.

"The Three Thousand Doomsdays are sealed, Calamity Shattered is lost in a place unknown, and the Truth of Destruction was forcibly shattered by figures of the Great Emperor Realm, scattering fragments everywhere. Although the Heaven-Reaching Tower has developed spirituality over countless ages, even giving birth to an Inner Cosmos, I dare to assert it is a fragment of the Truth of Destruction," You Ji nodded.

Wang Xu suddenly recalled the "secret" mentioned by the Domain Demon Divine Master earlier.

The Domain Demon Divine Master views the Ancient Luo Cosmos as a treasure, and must surely be aware that there is something unfathomable hidden within it, perhaps… it is the Heaven-Reaching Tower, or rather, a fragment of the Truth of Destruction!

"The Ancient Luo Cosmos having a fragment of the Truth of Destruction is not necessarily a good thing for us," Wang Xu said calmly.

The Truth of Destruction is the most formidable existence among the Three Great Ancient Soldiers, a complete form is enough to destroy the entire Chaotic Cosmos!

Such a terrifying weapon, who wouldn't covet it? If others were to know, the Ancient Luo Cosmos would inevitably be entangled.

The emergence of the fragment of the Truth of Destruction made Wang Xu feel an ominous mist approaching, a sign of impending storm.

"Let's go, we'll visit the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion first." Without delay, Wang Xu immediately sent his two wives into the Divine Country and set off for the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion.

…

"Borrow the Heaven-Reaching Tower?"

Elder Yanlin of the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion asked with confusion.

"That's right, I have an important matter that requires the use of the Heaven-Reaching Tower. I hope Elder Yanlin will lend it to me," Wang Xu said.

"Since even the Celestial God of Tai Xu is asking in person, I naturally can't refuse," Elder Yanlin laughed.

The Heaven-Reaching Pavilion remains one of the three major forces in the Ancient Luo Cosmos, not only due to the presence of two Supreme Elders but also because of the reputation of Wang Xu, the Celestial God of Tai Xu.

Celestial God of Tai Xu was once a disciple of the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion, a fact known by all within the Ancient Luo Cosmos; who would dare provoke the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion?

"Thank you, Elder Yanlin," Wang Xu said courteously.

Subsequently, Wang Xu stood before the Heaven-Reaching Tower, his strength surpassing even that of a Billion Era Celestial God surged and moved.

Though Wang Xu has spent years by his family's side, he has long surpassed the Eternal Generations Thunder Tribulation, becoming an Eternal Generations Celestial God.

Upon achieving Eternal Generations Celestial God, Wang Xu's power further increased, multiplying within the Ancient Luo Cosmos, faintly equivalent to a Saint Venerable of the Initial Realm.

Such strength made controlling the Heaven-Reaching Tower naturally effortless.

Boom!

Under Wang Xu's control of Primordial Power, the Heaven-Reaching Tower trembled greatly, shrinking in the wind until it became a miniature version, held in Wang Xu's palm.

"Is this one of the Three Great Ancient Soldiers… a fragment of the Truth of Destruction?" Wang Xu pondered.

Shortly after, Wang Xu bid farewell to Elder Yanlin and swiftly left the Heaven-Reaching Sacred Cosmos.

"Wang Xu, are you planning to take the fragment of the Truth of Destruction to Chaos?" You Ji stood beside Wang Xu.

"At the very least, it can't remain in the Ancient Luo Cosmos."

Wang Xu's face was grave, "The matter of the fragment of the Truth of Destruction is too significant, it's best if we can disassociate from it."

Wang Xu didn't mention the faint sense of danger he perceived amidst the looming mist.

The fragment of the Truth of Destruction, such treasure could bring Wang Xu no benefit, on the contrary, it would make him a target of many major forces, he must quickly remove the Heaven-Reaching Tower from the Ancient Luo Cosmos.

Swish!

Through a fixed passage, Wang Xu departed from the Ancient Luo Cosmos, returning once again to Chaos.

"Brother Wang Xu!"

At this moment, a man in a dark blue Taoist robe saw Wang Xu and flew toward him.

"Brother Fu Luo?"

Brother Fu Luo was not familiar with Wang Xu, the two had only met once.

"I have a significant matter to discuss with you, come with me," Brother Fu Luo looked around warily, whispering to Wang Xu mysteriously.

Significant matter?

Wang Xu was puzzled, unable to guess what important matter Brother Fu Luo wanted to discuss.

However, Wang Xu wasn't overly concerned, this was within the Immortal Tang Divine Palace, and between the Divine Palace disciples, laws have long been pledged not to harm each other, or before making a move, the law oath would backfire lethally.

Skeptically, Wang Xu followed Brother Fu Luo as they left the "World Palace" storing the world's door, flying toward an unknown direction.

"Brother Fu Luo, what exactly is this significant matter, can you tell me first?" Wang Xu asked.

Suddenly, Brother Fu Luo's body paused, stopping mid-air, Wang Xu looked at his back puzzled.

At that moment—

A signal of impending death swept through Wang Xu's body, his hair stood on end, his pupils contracted suddenly, without hesitation, he touched the Sumeru Storage Ring.

Boom boom boom!

Hei Ya, Divine Wind, and Bai Lan, three figures just appeared, were instantly blasted away. (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to recommend it, vote on the monthly vote at Qidian (qidian.com), your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read at m.qidian.com.)
