Infinite Professions

Chapter 471: Chapter 242: The Plan, Part 2

"Indeed!"

Long Jianfei nodded upon hearing this.

Mecha!

This is one of the crystallizations of the Human Empire’s civilization. Although it’s called mecha, it’s not entirely driven by mechanical technology; it also integrates "Artifact Dao" techniques from various systems, such as the Immortal Dao’s artifact refining and treasure manipulation, the Martial Dao’s Divine Weapon Blood Refining, and the Buddhist Sect and Confucian Sect’s Ten Thousand Buddha Skill Treasures and Vast and Righteous Artifact, as well as magic guide techniques from mages and wizards.

In conclusion, it is a fusion of myriad techniques, crafted by hundreds of schools, embodying the ultimate manifestation of "Artifact Manipulation." As long as the quality isn’t too poor and the pilot’s operation is decent, it can generally achieve cross-border confrontation.

After all, human power is limited; whether it’s the physical body or Magical Power True Essence, there comes a time when it is exhausted.

The mecha is different, being a mechanical body. Even if damaged, it can be repaired by replacing parts, and its power can be supplied by energy sources. Theoretically, as long as the energy reserves don’t run out and the machine components don’t break down, it can keep fighting indefinitely.

A truly formidable weapon!

Therefore, all major forces have explored this, and the Xingyi Martial Mansion is no exception. Though it is a Martial Arts Academy, it also offers the "Martial Arts Mecha" discipline, even having a Martial God as the main instructor, attracting many martial arts mecha masters like Delia for further training.

As a martial arts mecha master, Delia, who possesses the profession of a [Divine Martial Mechanic], piloting the defense-renowned Profound Spirit Mecha should not be a problem in directly confronting that individual. After all, she previously drove the offensive Dragon Tiger Mecha, and it took several moves from that individual before being dismantled.

But...

"It’s not enough!"

Long Jianfei’s eyes sharpened: "With just one mecha, at most, we can only resist and not restrain. It’s really not secure; at least with two more working together to share the burden, it’s safe."

"Count me in!"

As soon as the words fell, someone spoke up; it was Fengming Jun: "I have the Phoenix Power and Nirvana Undying Body. It’s no problem to block him; I can even half attack, half defend, to hold him off."

"Good!"

Long Jianfei nodded upon hearing this, clearly having already reserved Fengming Jun’s participation: "Brother Feng’s Nirvana Undying Body, combined with Miss Delia’s Profound Spirit Mecha, can indeed form a formidable shield to directly confront this person, but it’s still best to add one more for safekeeping."

"Count me in then."

A bald, sturdy man spoke, resembling a bear: "I can probably block a few moves from him as well."

"Brother Xiong is being modest."

Long Jianfei smiled: "Who doesn’t know that Brother Xiong is a martial arts prodigy, having cultivated the Xingyi Divine Martial to an extraordinary level and possessing Divine Intent Cultivation with a robust foundation? Resisting this person is definitely feasible."

After speaking, he clinched it: "So let’s settle it, with Feng Xiong, Brother Xiong, and Miss Delia as the shield, directly confronting and restraining this person."

"With a shield, what about the spear?"

Fengming Jun continued: "Who will deal the decisive blow?"

"That involves this person’s tactics."

Long Jianfei shook his head: "This person is not purely a Martial Cultivator; it’s very likely they also cultivate Immortal Dao and other Dharma Gates, seizing the Great Trend of Heaven and Earth at the start, transforming Primordial Qi in all directions to their own use. Even my Dragon God Sword Technique cannot contend with them, being fully suppressed by their Palm Technique."

Upon these words, everyone felt a shared anxiety.

Long Jianfei’s Dragon God Sword Technique can transform into a dragon, commanding heaven and earth, akin to the "True Dragon Emperor Scripture" of the Xingyi Martial Mansion, both involving concepts of Dragon Qi and Dragon Nature as supreme rulers, commanding the heaven and earth, suppressing all directions, akin to an alternative Celestial Sword Technique.

But with such a sword edge, it is still powerless, unable to contend with this person’s control of the heavens and earth, demonstrating the strength of their means.

"This person’s cultivation appears to be Tier Six, but it’s actually in the Seventh Realm, and they have methods to seize all directions and wield heaven and earth. To defeat them, we must limit them here, vie for control of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, and prevent them from mobilizing the Power of Heaven and Earth."

Long Jianfei revealed the mystery.

Fengming Jun furrowed his brows: "You mean... array?"

"Exactly!"

Long Jianfei nodded, looking at Ye Xuan Sect of the Gudang Star Ye Clan: "Brother Ye, we both practice the Celestial Sword Dao, and I have a Seven-Star True Dragon Sword Formation that can suppress him, intercepting his grasp over the Great Trend of Heaven and Earth. But it’s still probably not enough. We need Brother Ye’s Profound Celestial Sword Realm to sever his control over Primordial Qi in all directions."

"Fine!"

Ye Xuan Sect, dressed in white, exuding a cold aura, responded with just two words.

"With the power of the two of us, the Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Settling Sword can, even if not entirely severing his grasp on the Power of Heaven and Earth, weaken it by 50%, even most of it!"

Long Jianfei, decisively: "After such restriction, his offensive will surely decrease significantly, giving those at the front more leeway, and allowing us to launch a strong attack, breaking through his Protective Qi Shield."

"This might not be easy!"

Upon hearing this, a black-clad girl immediately spoke up: "That’s the Dharma Martial Mansion’s Twelve Celestial Gates Golden Bell Shield, seemingly also fused with Xingyi Tuo Dragon Armor and Black Tortoise Spirit Shield techniques, with twelve layers inside and out, along with a reactive force upon impact. Previously, I attempted an assassination with the Tengshe Void Technique at full strike, couldn’t break his Celestial Gate Qi Shield, and instead, was seriously injured by the Golden Bell Power’s counter-force."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent once again.

Even though they were all talents of the heavens, they now felt an urge to angrily curse.

Are you kidding me?

Having such a strong foundation would be one thing, but cultivating so many abnormal techniques, stacking offense and defense like this; is there no room for others to survive?
