Unreliable Sword Immortal.

"The holder of the fragment of the Arcane Throne!"

Following the system's guidance, Lu Chaoding looked ahead and spotted a tall mecha radiating red light.

"LV99 Mech God Palachi!"

The tall mecha had a snake-shaped head. Unlike the other evil god mechas, after sensing Lu Chaoding's gaze, blue flames suddenly shot out from behind it, and then the entire mecha rushed towards the exit of the distant hall at an extremely fast speed.

However, he couldn't escape Lu Chaoding's gaze. Just in front of Kadalin, his body twisted, turned into specks of light, and then disappeared, exploding into a large amount of spoils.

"My god, another instant kill! The Supreme Sword Immortal truly lives up to his title as the strongest evil god, he's too powerful!"

Kadaline gasped, her eyes practically gleaming as she stared at the items dropped by the mech god Palachi.

Lu Chaoding slowly walked to the pair of spoils, squatted down to search, and quickly found the [Fragment of the Arcane Throne (99)]. Then, a flash of light appeared on his body, and the [Fragment of the Arcane Throne (99)] suddenly disappeared as if it had evaporated.

This was Lu Chao using the "synchronization" function to synchronize the items from his mental clone to his main body, which was at the 100,000th step of the Hongchen Ancient Path.

Such synchronization is actually quite similar to teleportation.

At this moment, Lu Chaoding's consciousness also switched back to his main body. He looked at the fragment of the Arcane Throne in his hand and felt a little excited.

"Truly worthy of a legendary physique, the skills that come with the Immortal King's Descent to the Nine Heavens are incredibly useful!"

A thought suddenly popped into Lu Chao's mind: he wanted to leave a legend in every game dimension by descending a mental clone, leaving behind an existence similar to "Dare to be a Sword Immortal." He thought that would be very interesting.

Next, Lu Chaoding tested the "synchronization function" multiple times. He found that he could only transfer the clone's items to the main body or synchronize the status to the main body, but this process was irreversible, meaning that he could not synchronize the main body's items or status to the clone.

Simply put, the main body can only benefit.

After switching his consciousness back into the body of the "Daredevil Swordsman," Lu Chaoding saw Kadalin standing in front of him, quickly saying, "Great Daring Swordsman, do you intend to massacre the Machine Emperor's Temple? Why do you want to do this? Can you reveal the plot of the Machine Emperor's Temple to us? Some say that the Machine Emperor's Temple is formed from the heart of the great Machine Emperor, and that it hides the deepest secret of the Machine Emperor universe. Is that true? Others say that evil gods are born from the body of the Machine Emperor. Is that true? Were you also born from the body of the Machine Emperor?"

Lu Chaoding looked completely bewildered by the question.

How could he know the plot of the Mecha King universe?

"I'm not telling you!"

Lu Chao replied blankly, then continued attacking the mecha god.

He wasn't after the materials dropped by the mech gods; he slaughtered them for pure enjoyment. Leaving Kadaline by his side was also to enjoy her worship and make her a witness to the incredible power of the Sword Immortal.

With Lu Chaoding's current abilities, there wasn't a single mecha evil god in this vast hall who could stand against him at a glance.

Half an hour later, only one mecha evil god remained in the Mecha Emperor Temple.

This mecha evil god is named Shemile, and his level is as high as 100. He looks like a Buddha statue, sitting cross-legged. He has sixteen arms behind him, distributed in a fan shape, making different hand seals. He also has two normal arms with his hands clasped together in front of him. His metal earlobes are very long and hang down in front of his chest. There is a red dot between his eyebrows. He has a pineapple-shaped hairstyle on his head. He sits cross-legged with a metal rod placed horizontally on his knees.

The reason this mechanical evil god is not dead is because there is a light blue protective shield around his body, which shields him from Lu Chaoding's gaze and swordsmanship.

But under Lu Chao's watchful gaze, the color of the light shield was getting paler and paler, and it seemed that it wouldn't last much longer.

"An evil god!"

The mecha god She Mi Le suddenly opened his eyes, golden light emanating from his eye sockets. He stared at Lu Chaoding and asked, "Where does your power come from?"

"Huh, you can actually talk?"

Lu Chao became somewhat interested. In his opinion, this mecha evil god, She Mi Le, was clearly smarter than all the mecha evil gods he had killed before.

Before Lu Chaoding could answer, the Mech Evil God She Mile continued, "Your power does not come from the Mech Emperor. Who exactly are you?"

Lu Chao casually replied, "I am the Daring Sword Immortal!"

"A Sword Immortal dares to exist?" A hint of confusion appeared on the face of the Mech Evil God She Mi Le. "The Mech Emperor met an untimely end and slumbered in the empty void. Within his body, twelve primordial evil god symbiotes were born. These twelve evil god symbiotes multiplied, split, mutated, and evolved over a period of forty thousand years. There are now a total of 3600 evil gods... And the Sword Immortal is not among them!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chaoding understood that the Mech Evil God She Mile in front of him was definitely a very important plot character. What he had just said had revealed many important secrets of the Mech Emperor universe, such as the Mech Emperor's unfortunate encounter in his later years, the twelve primordial evil gods being his symbiotes, the total number of evil gods being 3600, and so on.

However, these things were irrelevant to Lu Chaoding, and he wasn't particularly interested. Since he couldn't kill the Mech God She Mile yet, he continued chatting with him: "What's wrong with not being among them? Is there a problem?"

"There's a problem!" the Mech God of Evil, She Mi, exclaimed. "According to an ancient prophecy, when all the evil gods fall, the Mech Emperor will awaken and, with his incomparably mighty body, confront his destined enemy, the destroyer of the world. Could it be that you are the Mech Emperor's destined enemy in the prophecy? That world destroyer?"

"Congratulations, you got it right!" Lu Chao chuckled, clearly just teasing him. He continued, "I am the world destroyer, the nemesis of the Machine Emperor, daring to challenge the Sword Immortal. Aren't I amazing?"

The body of the mecha evil god She Mi Le began to tremble, and he said, "Just as I thought! Now, in the name of the Twelve Primordial Evil Gods She Mi Le, I will spread the name of the daring sword immortal throughout the universe. From this day forward, you will be the common enemy of all evil gods and all living beings in this universe."

At this moment, all players in the Machine King Universe received a system notification: "Ding, the Primal Evil God Shemile has issued a story mission: The World Destroyer dared to appear as a Sword Immortal, and has been marked as a common enemy of the universe. Killing him will earn you the respect and gratitude of all the evil gods."

"What?! The Sword Immortal is actually the Destroyer of Worlds?!"

"A mission issued by the Primal Evil God!"

"Is this mission feasible?"

"Tsk tsk, a public enemy of the universe!"

"Will killing the daring sword immortal earn me the respect and gratitude of all the evil gods?"

"No wonder the Sword Immortal was so powerful; he's actually the Destroyer of Worlds!"

"Does anyone know the plot? The World Destroyer dares to challenge the Sword Immortal—is he the final boss?!"

"No way, the destroyer of the world has arrived!"

"So the Sword Immortal is actually a world destroyer!"

"I've seen him before!"

"Haha, so I was actually killed by the Destroyer of Worlds back then. No shame in that!"

"How dare you, Sword Immortal, not be a player?"

"Seeking the coordinates of the daring sword immortal..."

Numerous players began to discuss it.

Kadalin, who was live-streaming, froze for a moment. Looking at Lu Chaoding's retreating figure, she muttered, "Guys, the world destroyer is right in front of me, it's terrifying! Send me some small gifts to calm my nerves!"

"Go and kill him, streamer!"

"I suggest capturing him alive!"

"Hang in there, streamer! We're coming to rescue you!"

"Anyone want to team up against the Sword Immortal?"

"With all the evil gods fallen, the Machine Emperor will awaken. Isn't this crucial plot information being noticed?"

"There were originally 3600 evil gods in total. How many are left now? What's the backstory of the World Destroyer?"

"So, which side should we take? Should we side with all the evil gods in the universe, or collude with the daring sword immortal?"

"I just want to know, now that all the evil gods have been eliminated, will the Machine Emperor really make a comeback?"

The chat messages in Kadaline's live stream were scrolling by rapidly.

Lu Chaoding did not receive this system notification. He was somewhat bewildered and said, "That's it." The light shield around the mecha evil god She Mile finally broke.

The next moment, this primordial evil god was drawn into the special combat space by Lu Chaoding's gaze. In less than a minute, a small pile of items appeared in front of Lu Chaoding.

"Ding, system notification: All mecha evil gods in the Mecha Emperor Temple have been destroyed, the primordial evil god Shemile has fallen, related missions have been forcibly terminated, and the Mecha Emperor Temple storyline has progressed."

"Ding, system notification: All Mech Evil Gods within the Mech Emperor's Temple have been destroyed. The entrance to the Void of Desolation is no longer guarded. All players can now enter the Void of Desolation through the entrance within the Mech Emperor's Temple!"

"Ding, system notification: Evil God Captain, Evil God Gunner, Evil God Cannon King, and Evil God Pilot are en route to the Mech Emperor's Temple and are expected to arrive in 24 hours!"

Lu Chaoding could hear the system announcement, which sounded like a broadcast. He remained calm, but felt a little smug inside.

"Evil God Captain, Evil God Gunner, Evil God Cannon King, Evil God Pilot—are these four big bosses? They're teaming up to take me down? Haha, I'll wait for them right here!"

As they were talking, Lu Chaoding noticed that among the items dropped by the mecha evil god She Mile in front of him was a metal rod that was emitting light and looked very high-end.

"Hey, isn't that the stick that Mech God Shemile put on his knee? It actually fell out. Let's see what it is!"

Lu Chao picked up the stick and immediately saw its attribute information.

[Fragment of the Machine Emperor Cloth (1): The Machine Emperor Cloth is the main artifact of the Machine Emperor universe, consisting of 33 fragments. Collecting all the fragments allows you to synthesize the Machine Emperor Cloth!]

"The Emperor's Cloth? Collecting the main artifacts of different planes wouldn't be bad!"

Lu Chaoding immediately used the synchronization function to send the fragment of the Machine Emperor's Armor in his hand to his main body.

At this moment, Kadaline approached Lu Chaoding again and asked, "Great enemy of the universe, destroyer of the world, daring swordsman, sir, do you still want the spoils here?"

"Spoils of war?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chaoding glanced around. Each mecha evil god he killed dropped a small pile of loot, but very few of these loot items were of interest to him, so he didn't bother picking them up.

"No, you don't need it! Go pick it up if you want it!"

Lu Chao said something very generously.

Upon hearing this, Kadaline was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Praise be to you, the great and audacious sword immortal!"

After saying that, she quickly packed up her spoils and turned off the live stream.

The live stream was shut down, which angered countless viewers.

"Holy crap, Katarina's struck it rich this time!"

"So many good things, the streamer got a great deal!"

"Get out of the way, I'm going to the Machine Emperor's Temple!"

"Hurry up, we might still be able to grab some loot!"

"Damn it, why doesn't the Sword Immortal kill Kedarin...?"

A large number of players from the Mech Emperor Universe immediately rushed to the Mech Emperor Temple. However, apart from Kadaline, the first person to arrive at the Mech Emperor Temple was not a player, but a tall lady dressed in a blood-red dress, wearing a swan hat, and dressed like a noblewoman.

She is not a player, but the evil goddess Alice.

Alice, a smile on her face, greeted Lu Chao as soon as she entered the Machine Emperor's Temple: "My friend, you dare to call yourself a sword immortal? I never thought I'd see you again!"

As she spoke, she raised a finger, and a red beam of light shot out from her fingertip, piercing through Kadaline's body with a soft "poof." The female player, who was happily collecting treasures, cried out in pain as her health bar emptied, and she vanished into light the next moment.

"How can a little player like you deserve this treasure?"

With a sinister smile on her face, Alice waved her hand again, and a layer of blood-red light barrier sealed the entrance to the Machine Emperor Temple.

"Vampire Princess Alice, oh no, I should call you Evil Goddess Alice now!"

Lu Chao looked at Alice. He still remembered this NPC quite well. She could be considered a hidden boss of Nut Fortress and had an extraordinary relationship with the Weeping Angel of Nut Fortress. When he left Nut Secret Realm, she had already awakened.

"No, you should call me Player Alice. You know I've already awakened!"

Alice smiled and bowed slightly to Lu Chao, then said, "My friend, I never imagined you were so powerful, actually annihilating all the mecha evil gods in this Mecha Emperor Temple. However, my friend, you've also gotten yourself into trouble. Before the four great evil gods arrive, you'd better run away!"

"The Four Evil Gods? Could they be the Captain Evil God, the Cannon King Evil God, the Gun God Evil God, and the Pilot Evil God?!"

"That's right, it's them! The four of them are primordial evil gods, incredibly powerful, practically the strongest fighting force in the Machine Emperor Universe. They're far superior to She Mile. Although you can wipe out the Machine Emperor Temple, you're likely still no match for them. Leave as soon as possible to avoid suffering losses!"

"It's okay, I'm not afraid!"

Lu Chao smiled. He was only controlling a clone. If the clone died, it would have no effect on the main body. He could recreate it at will, so he was naturally not afraid of anything.

"Aren't you afraid?" Alice's expression turned serious. "My friend, I know you possess a unique system power within you, and it was that system power that awakened me. But I must tell you, the Four Evil Gods not only possess formidable combat strength but also authority bestowed upon them by the system. Don't be careless; be careful they don't extract that system power from within you!"

"Dig out the system power within me?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chaoding's mind jolted. He recalled how True Monarch Xuan Sha had once briefly stripped away his occasionally unreliable system with a single finger. At this moment, he felt a strange sense of anticipation and said, "If they really have that ability, let them come. I'm not afraid!" (End of Chapter)
