Radiation-laden yellow sand blew over the collapsed city.

The world seemed to be enveloped in a layer of yellow haze, blocking out much of the sunlight.

In the city, roads clogged with abandoned vehicles and billboards eroded by wind and sand were everywhere…

Even the giant iron tower that once served as a landmark was now mostly destroyed, with the remaining part leaning on the ground, its surface covered with rust.

Everything bore the breath of decay, without a trace of life’s color.

The purple-white Mech fell from the crack and came to a slow stop beside the iron tower, observing the wasteland-like city.

“Machine Rampage at the Hell difficulty level,” The timeline had progressed to a period after the destruction of civilization.

“Life has completely fallen silent; the rampant machines have entered hibernation, all except for the final boss: the Uncontrollable Titan, which wanders tirelessly across this wasteland.”

“There seems to be no trace of the Titan in this city.”

“It’s likely that only abyss leaders below the nightmare level could be found here: War Machines.”

Streams of intelligence flowed through Jiang Chen’s mind.

Although the entry location isn’t fixed when mecha pilots enter the Age-Old Shadow,

it’s not entirely random either.

At least they wouldn’t face the final boss right upon arrival; there is a certain space for exploration.

In the eyes of ordinary mecha pilots, this is a good thing.

But for Jiang Chen, once his strength reached a certain level, it actually slowed down his pace of clearing the level.

Each time entering the abyss carbon copy, he had to spend some time searching for the boss’s location.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

This time, however, he didn’t immediately spring into action.

Instead, he lingered above the iron tower, his right hand touching the Abyss Rune.

A blue ice chip materialized at the fingertips of the Mecha.

Supercharge Module – Touch of Extreme Cold.

With the mecha previously unrepaired, now was finally the time to experience the power beyond ranks!

A thought crossed Jiang Chen’s mind, and a red chip was “spat out” by the tendrils while the blue ice chip was wrapped up and “absorbed.”

With the installation of the Touch of Extreme Cold module as a hand module,

The primeval mecha’s palm seemed to have donned a pair of ice crystal gloves, adding streaks of ice-blue color.

Jiang Chen controlled the primeval mecha to consume energy and use its abilities.

He extended his right hand, and the air in front rapidly condensed, spreading out in all directions, reaching the iron tower and forming a wall of ice crystals.

This was the hand module’s ice shaping ability…

He was testing the power of the supercharged module.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

A notion stirred in Jiang Chen’s mind as he looked down.

There, in the wasteland city, the earlier haphazard piles of vehicles and machinery scraps, akin to ruins, suddenly sprang to life.

They rapidly morphed in shape, much like transforming robots, into various forms of mechanical life made of rusted metal.

Accompanied by a cacophony of metal grinding and clashing,

They swept across the ground, climbed up the edge of the iron tower, and charged towards Jiang Chen.

[Lifeforms detected, activation of the extermination protocol.]

The Machine Rampage of the past turned every mechanical creation around the globe, including the most inconsequential bread machine, into a terrifying killing machine.

Just how many mechanical items could be in a city?

Immeasurable!

Looking down now, these mechanical beings almost formed a tidal wave, endless and boundless.

Their number exceeded even that of the undead army from the Eternal Frost Magic Realm by an order of magnitude.

Each had attributes not inferior to a simple difficulty level abyss leader!

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

…Machine Rampage on Hell difficulty, with no extreme environment, no ice storms,

just the madness of uncontrollable machines.

Facing the surging tide of machinery.

Jiang Chen was not frightened but elated.

“Bring it on!”

He did not install the module in the present world, but went into the Age-Old Shadow to do so instead.

It was precisely to use these abyss monsters to test the power of the supercharged module!

At that moment, a mechanical beast formed from an abandoned car had climbed to the upper layers of the iron tower and lunged at the primeval mecha.

Although it was fast, it was no match for Jiang Chen’s high agility and quick responsiveness.

With full concentration, it was almost like slow motion.

Now, Jiang Chen controlled the primeval mecha to dart forward, his right fist clenched lightly, and he gently struck the mechanical beast.

As the ice crystals dispersed, a small part of the mechanical beast’s body was frozen.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Was this the power of the supercharged module?

Clearly not.

When Jiang Chen activated the Touch of Extreme Cold, he had only consumed the minimum required energy,

the purpose being to lower the power to test another approach—

Suddenly, after the primeval mecha threw a punch, it shifted its body, its feet igniting with flames, and it quickly kicked back at the mechanical beast, at the frozen area.

The flame was the weakest tier of transcendent fire.

Yet, when it came into contact with the icy part, it readily shattered it, piercing through effortlessly!

A punch and a kick, all in the blink of an eye.

The primeval mecha, without any buffs, relying solely on the most basic attributes and the weakest power, directly penetrated the core of the mechanical beast.

And with a slight burst of flame, ignited it from the inside!

Witnessing this result, Jiang Chen was quite satisfied.

“Transcendent fire + transcendent ice = what?”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Elemental reactions!”

As the mech ranks increased, they came with more and more special modules.

Finally, he could chain together a series of minor combos.

The additional damage caused by these unique transcendent combos was far from just a simple sum of 1+1.

1 point of transcendent fire plus 1 point of Touch of Extreme Cold.

When triggered at the right moment, they could cause an elemental reaction, unleashing multiple times of effectiveness!

And these were just combat combos.

Some special modules would trigger extra effects similar to a “suit effect” if installed on the mecha simultaneously.

Furthermore, after being absorbed by the mecha, these “suit modules” could possibly fuse into an advanced module.

Thereby granting access to more high-end power!

However, since top-notch modules are exceedingly scarce and precious,

And because once absorbed by the mecha, the modules can’t be retrieved,

The cost of experimentation is extremely high.

Therefore, in twenty years’ time, the alliance hasn’t uncovered too many “fusion modules.”

Those available have been mostly applied in the pathways of higher-tier mechas.

At this moment.

Jiang Chen controlled the primeval mecha to combat the Machine Rampage.

Leveraging the combat instincts from “Weapons Master” and the extremely fast reaction speed from high attribute points,

In just one or two minutes, he had completely mastered elemental reactions.

Normally, triggering the reaction of ice and fire requires perfect timing.

He had managed a hundred percent trigger rate, using less energy to produce a higher output—

So, what if he unleashed his full power?

“Save the big moves for the final boss,” he said.

“These lesser creatures are simply not worthy.”

Jiang Chen felt it was about time; he kicked the nearest mechanical beast.

Accompanied by a burst of flames, it instantly swept around, quickly melting them into a glowing sea of liquid metal.

Taking advantage of the situation, he unfurled his bony wings and leapt into the sky, soaring towards the clouds!

Time to find the boss!

However, as the primeval mecha ascended into the sky,

One by one, fighter planes swiftly approached from the edge of the city, locking onto the primeval mecha, and began frantically spewing bullets.

At the same time, among the collapsed skyscrapers, a group of special mechanical beasts pounced together, quickly combining.

In a brief moment, they had assembled into an Anti-Air Missile Vehicle, launching missile after missile with trailing flames at high speed towards the primeval mecha.

The sky proved even more dangerous than the ground!

But Jiang Chen had anticipated this.

The primeval mecha continued to ascend, until it became a mere dot in the sky, escaping the targeting range of the ground-based mechanical beasts.

As for those swarm of missiles,

He touched the Abyss Rune, pulling out a saddle covered with frost.

“Little bone dragon, it’s up to you,” he said.

The Frost Bone Giant Dragon burst onto the scene, exhaling icy breath.

In less than a second, it was engulfed by the missiles, shattered into a pile of bone fragments, and then sucked back into the saddle.

As it turned out,

In many cases, mounts were more useful than armor.

The frost bone dragon saddle’s summoned Frost Bone Giant Dragon was an energy entity; its death did not damage the saddle but merely drained its energy.

Jiang Chen did not mourn the Frost Bone Giant Dragon. He simply stored the saddle away and took out the Insect King’s Spear.

He shot down the relentless Uncontrollable fighters, one by one.

Only then did tranquility return.

To avoid attracting more annoying pests,

Jiang Chen used the clouds to conceal himself, flying high in the sky.

Then, he flew toward the southeast.

As for why southeast…

Looking down from the sky, one could clearly see two deep indentations on the ground.

It was as if the tracks left by a tank had been magnified hundreds of times.

These tracks had rolled over the city, destroying everything in their path, creating an extremely noticeable path.

At the same time, they marked the location for Jiang Chen.

After about fifteen minutes of flight, he finally saw the owner of these tracks.

A gargantuan entity pieced together from war vehicles, mechas, and artillery platforms, with a length surpassing a kilometer, akin to a land-bound aircraft carrier.

[Uncontrollable Titan (Evolved Form)]

[Rank: 1]

[Attributes: Strength 4000, Agility 2000, Defense 4300, Enigmatism 0.]

[Traits: Land Titan, a mechanical life form that gained the ability to self-evolve due to a mechanical virus, nearly an invincible warlord.

It has significantly improved its own attributes and armament reserves through absorption and combination.

Despite lacking enigmatism, it possesses unstoppable firepower and the brute force to destroy everything.]

[Weaknesses: Intelligence core, special magic.]

[Evaluation: To conquer it, one mustn’t engage in a firepower contest but find a way to enter its body and destroy its internal core…

If not fully prepared, do not attempt the challenge!]
