One month of seclusion and Lin Shen had already figured out his cultivation path and now armed with a month of cultivation his aura changed where it was gentle before now it carried the aura of different elements.
The army waited outside his base of operation at the entrance of Xuanwu valley.
He went ahead and put on the MK 3 EXOSUIT and got into Heaven breaker MK2 while Sun Rong wore the MK2 EXOSUIT and got into Hell Bringer MK2
The waterfall split open as the two large mechs stepped out more and more hidden entrances of the mountain opened up and multiple vehicles land and air vehicles came out then two large bikes rolled out one for Heaven They both raced to the entrance of the valley as multiple Qi powered transport ships and land vehicles followed behind them each one equipped with weapons of warfare.
"By the gods" Hyun Long said his jaw dropping as he saw a transport ship carrying ARCHON within its cargo bay with ease the doors where open so he could see the metal giant clearly
ARCHON was now upgraded to MK3 because Lin Shen did not keep a clear account on the upgrades so he just decided to call him ARCHON MK3 since he was the oldest among the three
Lin Shen activated Heaven Breaker's external speakers and spoke
"Everyone on to the transports now"
Several cultivators got onto the transports without as Madam Feng already explained how they worked from seeing them up close
The flying transports landed on the ground as the soldiers walked into the transports camly they filled up each one land and air vehicles alike.
The vehicles themselves were controlled by an AI so they did not need to worry about hijacks
The set off for the main headquarters of the demonic factions
the plan was simple the transports would engage stealth mode and reveal themselves and unleash their weaponry once the bombardments are done the soldiers would be dropped from the air as land forces invade them from the ground
ARCHON would guard the backlines ensuring a safe retreat as Hell Bringer and Heaven Breaker charge into the front lines
The formation of the army was simple the soldiers would attack from all sides all leaders of each sect are required to cooperate
Night approached and all the transports issued stealth mode as they reached the perimeter of the demonic faction's main headquarters
Then the transports uncloaked and emptied out its magazines and missile silos the moment they appeared not giving them a moment to rest
The land vehicles did the same except they surrounded the main headquarters killing any and every straggler
Once the bombardment was done the door of the vehicle's cargo bay opened murim alliance soldiers jumped and landed safely on to the battlefield though some had a rough landing and others were shot down before they could land
the soldiers in the land vehicles surrounded the headquarters of the demonic faction maintaining escape routes and maintaining the killzone killing any stragglers that tried to runaway
Then the largest transport ship opened up and ARCHON jumped and headed straight towards the backlines
Meanwhile Lin Shen and Sun Rong piloted the mechs which now drove bikes
"Why are we here, shouldn't we be fighting on the frontlines?" Sun Rong asked through Hell Bringers communication channel
"If we enter the battlefield and fight now we would only bring casualties to both sides, So we enter the fray only when the three leaders join the battle" Lin Shen replied "Sun Rong you and Hell Bringer will fight against Jang Seok-Han the blood demon"
"Blood Demon huh I wonder if he will put up a good fight" Hell Bringer replied
"ARCHON will engage Ryu Kang-Jin the blade demon" Lin Shen said
"Affirmative, I will not disappoint" replied ARCHON
"What about you" Sun Rong asked though she already knew the answer
"Heaven Breaker and I will engage Cheon Ma Jin The heavenly demon"
"HELL YEAH we taking on the final boss directly" said Heaven Breaker his voice filled with excitement
"Lin Shen are you sure we can trust the AI's" Sun Rong asked
"Don't worry I built I know their thought process and structure like the back of my hand I trust them and they trust me; they are not mindless machines they are my companions" Lin Shen replied "Anyway battlefield assessment what do we have to deal with"
"According to my sensors I can sense three Immortal stage cultivators, a few Dao integration cultivators, some Ascendants and the remaining are all at the Nascent Soul stage or below" ARCHON replied
"Yeah I am reading the same thing" Heaven Breaker confirmed
"Same here" replied Hell Bringer
"You know I wanted to ask" Hell Bringer started
"Ask what" Lin Shen replied
"When are you going to complete the "Him"" As soon as Hell Bringer said that everyone froze except for Sun Rong because only Sun Rong was unaware of who they were talking about
"Do not worry "He" Is almost ready, but for now focus on the battlefield not on him"
Hell Bringer nodded and asked another question:
"After this battle can you give us actual names rather than these fancy titles"
"I agree with her on that point I am kind of tired of saying Hell Bringer this Hell Bringer that" Heaven Breaker replied
ARCHON was silent but he just nodded
"If that will motivate you fine I will give proper names but the title will still remain" Lin Shen replied
As the battlefield below was burned to ashes martial techniques against soul techniques, Soul techniques against elemental techniques the battlefield was mess of Qi flying and raging all over the place.
Finally, the three leaders stepped onto the battlefield the moment they did the murim alliance was retreating as planned.
"Where do you think you're running off to you little murim alliance pests" said Cheon Ma Jin the Heavenly Demon as he raised his hands and extremely dense killing intent surrounded the soldiers
But before it could be released Lin Shen stepped in with Heaven Breaker the bike Heaven Breaker was riding turning into armor and dual swords which merged onto Heaven Breakers body
Heaven Breaker concentrated the QI flow into his sword and slashed at the killing intent
The result
The slash overpowered the killing intent cutting it in half as it slowly dissipated
Cheon Ma Jin had blood trickle down from his lips as his attack was interrupted
"How did you a mere child interrupt my attack" said Cheon Ma Jin arrogantly
As they spoke Jang Seok-Han tried to ambush Lin Shen and Heaven breaker while they were distracted only to be interrupted by Sun Rong and Hell Bringer
"Your opponent is us" Sun Rong said through Hell Bringer external speakers
"This is such a pain well I can at least have a little fun with you" Jang Seok-Han said with a bloodthirsty grin
Then a shadow zoomed past them and towards the backlines only for it to be countered by Qi tracking missiles and controlled Qi blasts
The figure was clearer now this was Ryu Kang-Jin the Blade demon
"Your opponent is me" ARCHON said his armored body shaking the ground with each step
Twin miniguns mounted his shoulders as he carried his sword Earthshaker in one hand and his shield Aegis in another hand his metallic wings spread out
Meanwhile at the temporary murim alliance camp set outside the perimeter a messenger was reporting the situation
"Sir, its an emergency the Heavenly demon has appeared the boy is currently engaging it"
"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY" said Hyun Jong his voice with fear
Not even one minute later a second messenger came in
"Sir the Blood demon has made a move"
"Amitabha, trust the boy" Abbot Fang Zeng said
Then a third messenger popped in not even thirty seconds later
"Sir, the Blade demon has made a move he is currently engaged with the construct stationed there"
"I am sorry but WHAT IN NINE HEAVENS IS GOING ON HERE" Abess Meijue said her usual calm and calculating tone breaking
Meanwhile on the battlefield ARCON engaged the Blade demon
The Blade demon sword technique is a technique that the Blade demon refined himself for his entire life it is one of the sword techniques that is equal to the Plum Blossom sword of Mount Hua.
But ARCHON was built like a fortress despite his weight he movements were quick and precise
He defended against attacks that would do major damage and let attacks that did minor damage strike
When the Blade demon created distance he would fire the miniguns suppressing the blade demon but when the blade demon closed in he would strike with Earthshaker
Their blades met as both of them took to the sky by every law of physics ARCHON was not supposed to be moving smoothly in the air
But there he was attacking and defending himself
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA in a hundred years no one was able to match my sword you are an interesting one but sadly I have to end the fight here" said the Blade Demon as he concentrated Qi into his sword lighting crackled from the sword as he leaped forward striking at ARCHON
ARCHON defended against the attack with Aegis but the shield along with his arm was sliced into pieces
The Blade Demon unleashed sword intent as the surrounding rocks and swords came together and molded themselves into a large sword with lightning trickling at the edges
"It was a nice fight but I have priorities right now so die" said the blade demon hurling the large sword at ARCHON
The blade pierced his chest and came out his back
In his last moments he felt a cold darkness wash over him not the same coldness he experienced as a mechanical entity but something deeper
