Chapter 157 The Guardian Spirit's Promise

Of course, it was not ordinary lubricating oil found in the civilized world.

That liquid serves so many functions; lubrication is just one of its most inconspicuous ones.

It's more like the universal blood vessel inside a mecha!

So in a sense, the Future was hit with internal damage.

This also shows how ruthless Yu Bulai, honed on the battlefield, can be.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a violent explosion erupted between the two, forcibly separating them, just like the rain that had been clinging to the Future.

The Future was then able to escape, retreating again and again, just like Yu Bulai had done, until it reached a distance it considered safe.

How can this be called "times change"?

"What the hell?!"

As Yu Bulai spoke, he waved his hand around to release the water vapor generated by the explosion.

As the steam dissipated, he looked towards the Future and saw that it was the predecessor of the Future, with some unknown flames shooting out from multiple places.

Born on a planet from the era of cold weapons, he had no idea that it was a propulsion system.

In a moment of quick thinking, the Future Spacecraft simultaneously opened its forward thrusters to maximum power, creating a pressure explosion.

After this exchange, a slight crack appeared in the Future's "Vision," caused by the eye shield.

The protective shield had been cracked by Yu Bulai's chaotic punches at some point.

But that was a minor issue; a replacement could be easily found later. What truly angered and humiliated him was the data showing that the mech had suffered 15% damage!

It's only been a dozen rounds!

Moreover, he is a super soldier who integrates God and Machine!

And so, once again, the surrounding atmosphere stirred because of him, and countless blade-like streams of air appeared again.

Yu Bu glanced around and knew that the "big one" was coming, so he mustered all his energy.

What!

When his gaze returned to the Future, he couldn't help but be secretly startled.

Because the Future has actually made a gesture indicating activation?

I knew he had an "ethereal aura," but I never said a lump of iron like him could perform magic!

The feeling was like seeing a pet that could understand human speech and even communicate with language—it was completely absurd!

"Hey, hey, hey, that's not fair. Take your hand back, or we'll fight with our fists."

How about this, I'll hold back a bit and not hit you in the face, I'll go easy on you, what do you say?

Yu Bulai spoke earnestly, as if discussing something.

The reason he was so "sincere" was because he had only been a god for a short time and didn't know how to do this yet.

He was merely a god who "sacrificed himself for righteousness," lacking the wisdom of a god who attained enlightenment and the guidance and education of a second-generation god. In terms of magic, he was utterly illiterate.

Not only is the other party tough as nails, but now they want to "recite scriptures" too. Isn't this just taking advantage of a child who can't read?

|Sage Technique - Octagonal Lens|

Would the Future be playing house with him? A flash of light appeared between his fingers, and the magic moved as if he were 'reciting' the name of a spell, announcing that he had activated it.

As the technique was activated, a large red octagonal disc appeared behind him, spinning. Each of its eight sides was decorated with a different mythical beast pattern.

As he pointed, eight strange beasts simultaneously spat out spear-shaped crystal spikes from the edge.

Unlike those light bullets that drew straight lines, each crystal spike was like a master swordsman's sword energy, each carrying a powerful aura, piercing different parts of Yu Bulai's body.

If you can avoid the rain, do so; if you can't avoid it, knock it down; if you really can't protect yourself from it, use a barrier to block it.

During the process, he was surprised to find that the crystal spikes tore through his barrier as easily as a cleaver cutting through flesh.

Fortunately, the barrier changed the angle of the crystal spikes and had some effect; otherwise, his primordial spirit would have perished!

In this way, the Future released several more waves of crystal spikes.

In the end, Yu Bulai even had to use his mouth, with crystal thorns stuck in his mouth.

"Is an appetizer really that difficult?"

"Future," the man said slowly, his tone full of disdain.

Yu Bulai spat out the crystalline thorn in his mouth, "I'm a picky eater, I only like to eat bones."

With just one sentence, Future was rendered speechless, and, displeased, slowly raised one arm.

As his arm slammed down, the eight strange beasts on the plate seemed to come alive, leaping out and rushing towards Yu Bulai at the same time.

It directly detonated the surrounding pressure, causing the air to solidify like a viscous liquid.

Yu Bulai, deep within the oppressive anchor point, felt as if he were bound by heavy iron chains, making movement extremely difficult.

He immediately unleashed his own stellar power to balance the external pressure.

This was his only way to save himself; otherwise, if those strange beasts came, he wouldn't be able to move at all.

However, even if he can move, judging from his senses, his current combat strength is equivalent to that of an ordinary person who would have to face eight lions and tigers at the same time.

Knowing he had no hope, he let out a loud shout and pushed his battle aura to another level.

Even the 亖 (four) should be like a nail, sticking back.

Thus, as his battle aura reached its peak, his entire primordial spirit transformed into a gleaming silver light, illuminating the surroundings.

From a distance, it looks like a silver flame in a vast red mist.

When the eight strange beasts touched the silver flames, a blinding light immediately erupted around them...

Within the light, there was a fierce collision of surrounding energy, creating ripples that spread out without any discernible pattern.

After the light faded, everything gradually returned to normal, and the result became clear.

Surprisingly, each of the eight strange beasts was tightly bound by a giant tail, unable to move.

In proportion, the eight mythical beasts look like small, adorable puppets.

And supporting all those enormous tails was a nine-tailed white fox.

The white fox's natural power is self-evident; at this moment, merely crouching on the ground, its head was level with that of the strange beast in the air.

The white fox turned its head to the side, its huge, expressionless eyes reflecting everything in the air.

"You...you have the ability to summon such a monster?"

Looking at the scene before it, the Future was surprised and asked why the rain hadn't come.

The rain didn't come, making things even more confusing. Only then did he realize that he hadn't died. He turned around and saw his reflection right in the center of the white fox's giant eyes, very close.

Those deep eyes were like a dark abyss, seemingly capable of sucking him in at any moment, leaving him momentarily speechless with shock.

Realizing it wasn't him who summoned it, Future turned its gaze to White Fox, feigning composure, and asked, "Who are you?!"

However, the white fox bird ignored him, showing no reaction whatsoever, which conveyed the message that the two were not on the same level, or even on the same dimension, and there was no need for dialogue.

"I called them."

Suddenly, voices came from above.

Then, the person landed directly next to the white fox, who then used its spare, massive tail to support him.

"Ah, it's the Holy King!"

Yu Bulai looked at the person coming from the giant tail and said excitedly.

Green Pepper smiled and nodded, then turned to face the white fox and said:

"Thank you for being my guardian spirit and protecting me in secret for over forty years."

This last request is for you to help me protect this young man.

If you hadn't arrived first, he probably would have been in serious trouble, so thank you for protecting him for me.

Our promise from our past lives has now been fulfilled.

After listening, the white fox smiled slightly and nodded.

Then, it looked up at the sky, transformed into countless beams of light that flew upwards, and disappeared.

At the same moment, the eight strange beasts that were coiled around its tail were also transformed by its power and dissipated into smoke.

The message sent back to the Future was that the spell had been forcibly broken, the octagonal disc shattered, and the crew members were shaken a few times.

But disregarding the backlash injuries, as soon as he stabilized his body, he urgently said:

"You are the Holy King? The Holy King of prophecy has been born? What year is it tonight?!"
