Those who face the wall, but are in the Nascent Soul stage.

Chapter 240 Hidden Energy on the Back
"Mysterious Heaven Mirror Counter-Formation!"

This was the last trump card he had up his sleeve.

Shanqing had used all the cultivation techniques of his sect, and a giant array resembling a mirror was displayed, successfully resisting an attack from a large-scale defensive weapon.

The mirror shattered, and he rolled to the ground.

He no longer had the strength to employ any more methods.

He had no spirit stones, no spiritual energy, and no spiritual power left; he had truly reached the point of exhaustion.

At his wit's end, Shanqing stood there, clutching a piece of iron that could hardly be called a sword, with the wreckage of a dinosaur tank behind him.

At this moment, the various long-range attacks and bombardments launched in his direction gradually ceased. After realizing that this person had no power to retaliate, the commander of the Great Ring immediately ordered the remaining dinosaur army to surround him.

No one would be unwilling to obtain the power of the False God Worm; the Devouring Empire would be willing to try anything as long as there was a chance of capturing it alive.

Faced with the densely packed army of dinosaurs, Shanqing tilted her head slightly.

"Has no one told you that cultivators at the end of their rope are best at..."

"Self-destruct?"

A dazzling light burst forth from Shanqing's body.

But it wasn't Shan Qing who exploded; it was Shan Qing who threw out his own nascent soul. That bewildered nascent soul flew into the core area where the dinosaurs gathered. It glanced blankly at Shan Shi's body, and then its spiritual energy suddenly twisted into a point and exploded with a bang.

Shanqing silently apologized to the deceased Nascent Soul.

The terrifying shockwave from the Nascent Soul's self-destruction silenced the entire Iron Anvil Plain.

After losing his Nascent Soul, Shan Qing's cultivation level plummeted, dropping from a Nascent Soul cultivator to a Golden Core cultivator. A radiant nine-patterned Golden Core quickly condensed within his dantian.

Without hesitation, Shan Qing took out the golden pill and held it above his head.

Shan Qing shouted in the Devouring Language, "This is the hidden energy source on my back. Its interior is formed by superimposed antimatter from higher dimensions. Its explosive power is extremely terrifying. Once it explodes, it will be enough to shatter the entire structure of the giant ring. Stop it, all of you!"

The Devouring Empire was clearly intimidated.

The commander of the Great Ring looked at the golden orb that the pseudo-god worm was holding, which seemed to contain infinite energy, and had no idea whether it was true or false.

However, structural damage to the large ring must be avoided.

Despite the fierce battle with the pseudo-god worms, involving nuclear bombs and four-dimensional fragments, it hasn't actually had a significant impact on the overall structure of the giant ring. The giant ring is the dinosaurs' only home, and in this cosmic space so close to the solar system, if the giant ring were to collapse, the Devouring Empire would perish here.

For a moment, both sides ceased their attacks.

Shanqing held up the golden pill and finally caught his breath.

"Use all the advanced instruments to scan that golden bead and see if what he said is true or false," the commander of the Great Ring ordered.

Since the previous troops had been wiped out by the Nascent Soul self-destruction, as the standoff dragged on, the Great Ring Commander gradually mobilized a second batch of troops, the familiar 'Godzilla' mountain dragons. The twelve enormous mountain dragons spread their steps, shaking the Iron Anvil Plain, and walked towards Shanqing step by step.

Normally, Shan Qing would have sliced ​​it into pieces with a single sword strike, but not now. It had been annihilated by antimatter, leaving nothing behind, even its nascent soul had been destroyed. The fact that it could maintain its existence and remain in this state was already a miracle among cultivators.

Fortunately, I managed to intimidate them with the Golden Elixir.

Shanqing began to miss those macroatoms and macroelectrons. If he had brought more back then, he wouldn't be in such a predicament now.

While the dinosaurs were gathering more troops, attempting to intimidate the enemy, Shanqing was also discreetly forging a hundred iron swords from nearby metal wreckage. Clearly, neither side had any intention of negotiating.

"We've already investigated with supersonic waves. The golden sphere contains a large amount of unknown energy, but the energy level isn't high, far less than antimatter, and it doesn't have the high-dimensional internal structure he described," a dinosaur told the Commander of the Great Ring.

"I knew it." The commander of the Great Ring said with a grim expression.

"Continue the attack!" With that command, the dinosaur army charged forward once again.

Shan Qing stuffed the Golden Core back into his dantian. This thing really couldn't explode. If it exploded again, he would become a Foundation Establishment cultivator. A Golden Core cultivator could barely fight a dinosaur, but a Foundation Establishment cultivator would probably be instantly killed by a nuclear bomb.

Shanqing had no choice but to control a hundred swords, forming a sparse sword net, and shoot them at supersonic speed toward one of the 'Godzilla' mountain dragons.

Numerous iron swords pierced through the mountain dragon's body, bursting into clouds of blood mist, but these 100 wounds did not hinder the mountain dragon's progress in the slightest.

After all, it's just an alloy iron sword, made from the shell and tracks of a dinosaur tank. Even with spiritual power, its destructive power is ultimately limited.

The mountain dragon's counterattack also arrived. This was the first time Shanxin had witnessed such a dragon's attack method—in the past, these dragons had not even had a chance to play any role before he killed them by various methods.

The mountain dragon opened its mouth, and the nuclear fusion reactor inside its body began to rapidly accumulate energy. Then, the energy gathered in its mouth and burst out a deep blue plasma beam that was more than ten meters thick, fiercely blasting towards Shan Qing.

"It really is just like Godzilla in the movies." Shanqing couldn't help but complain even as she rolled and dodged.

This mountain dragon, driven by nuclear fusion and possessing characteristics of both mechanical modification and biological evolution, is not technologically advanced. The plasma beam it spews from its mouth is essentially no different from the propulsion stream ejected by a propellant spacecraft.

In other words, this is a dragon-shaped, propelled spaceship that can only walk and primarily attacks enemies using plasma jets emitted from its engines.
It's a simple, crude, low-tech, cobbled-together garbage dragon.

Despite being chased by twelve giant dragons, Shanqing remained indifferent.

If this dragon were to appear on Earth, even the human military forces of the early 21st century could easily kill it.

In the world of cultivation, a Golden Core cultivator leading a team of Foundation Establishment cultivators could easily take it down.

Considering that his weak normal attacks could no longer threaten these dragons, Shanqing had no choice but to unleash his newly learned ultimate move, which even his original form did not know.

Sword Hypercube!

One hundred iron swords intertwined to form a turbulent hypercube, which then charged at one of the dragons. This pseudo-four-dimensional attack instantly shattered the dragon's internal and external structure. Its internal organs, bones, muscles, and even its internal nuclear reactor were all torn apart, leaving it as a thin corpse lying flat on the ground.

"Sword Hypercube!"

"Sword Hypercube!"

"Sword of the Supreme—"

Shanqing shouted halfway through, but found that the iron swords were no longer obeying his commands.

It's empty blue.

After killing three Godzilla mountain dragons in succession, Shanqing realized that he had no spiritual power left. He took a running start, then sprang up and charged directly onto the head of one of the Godzilla mountain dragons, wielding his sword, before plunging it down hard.

After stirring with the longsword, he finally managed to kill the fourth dragon.

After confirming that he had no other means to kill the other eight dragons, Shan Qing once again unhesitatingly took out his golden core and began to chant repeatedly:
"Hidden energy source on his back!"

The eight dragons scattered in terror and fled.
