Chapter 608: Chapter 411: One Shot

At that moment, the mechanical Ark appeared above the prow of the Ark of Salvation.

"To withstand the calamity of the Epoch, the artisans of the Refining Epoch crafted the Ark of Salvation." The voice of the Ark was somber and mournful, "To better control the Ark of Salvation, they also created me.

I had witnessed the prosperity of the Refining Epoch, as well as its decline, and the fall of the Ark of Salvation.

I... as the spirit of the Ark of Salvation, was supposed to perish along with the Refining Epoch."

As a mechanical puppet created afterward, he dearly wished he had no emotions and only operated according to programming.

Yet, his creators had still endowed him with emotions.

After enduring the loneliness of several Epochs, the Ark finally met the successors of the Refining Epoch.

His mission was also supposed to end at this moment, and his life was to be concluded.

"Successors of the Refining Epoch, you have all awakened your paths of the Hundred Arts, the successors of the Refining Epoch."

"You each control the core reactor, the hull, and the weapons. If even one of you perishes, the Ark of Salvation will no longer function properly!"

When the Ark’s statement echoed through the Epoch, the powerhouses were initially taken aback, but they quickly understood that the Ark was about to perish.

This was a voluntary perishing, similar to the way the Buddha Lord had sacrificed himself.

However, upon hearing the Ark’s words, the Artisan God’s face turned very unpleasant. What did it mean that if one person was missing, the Ark would not function normally?

Was this not informing him that he could not lay his hands on these two menaces?

But before he could reflect further, the mechanical puppet Ark radiated light, his body slowly transformed into characters that drifted down and entered the Ark of Salvation.

"Hum—"

The Ark of Salvation then vibrated violently.

"The energy reactor is fully charged!" Laozi’s eyes lit up.

He controlled the energy, and was extremely familiar with the energy reactor of the Ark of Salvation.

If the energy reactor’s capacity was only at forty percent before, it was now at one hundred and twenty percent!

The energy had tripled!

Although the Ark was a mechanical puppet created afterward, he was nonetheless a being at the Supreme level.

By sacrificing himself in a manner akin to offering, he directly transformed himself into energy to power the Ark, which was no small feat!

Now, atop the Ark, within the foremost cannon, the gathered energy grew fiercer, even giving off bursts of purple hues.

As this energy converged, the entire chaos trembled, and the Supreme were taken aback.

It seemed as if all things in the world were to submit under this force.

"Main cannon, fire!" the Artisan God shouted.

"Bang!"

With that sound, an immensely powerful beam of light burst upward, stirring the chaos, piercing through it.

"Retreat swiftly!"

The watching powerhouses spared no effort to flee.

Just the aftermath was enough to leave them with no place to die.

That beam was headed straight for the formidable Lord of Silence.

Now, the Lord of Silence was bereft of his earlier composure.

He hadn’t been wary of the Ark of Salvation before because he thought that the war fortress wasn’t fully charged yet.

Now, the might of the Ark of Salvation had increased manifold.

Although frightened, he was already committed to a path of no return at this point.

To make a high-profile effort and then retreat without fighting would be a loss of face.

More importantly, this battle was supposed to be his first battle in this Epoch. To flee without fighting would be too disgraceful.

Remembering this, the Lord of Silence’s aura had already peaked, with a phantom figure appearing behind him.

No one could see the face of that phantom figure clearly, but its dignified and imposing aura was suffocating.

"Can the Lord of Silence overcome the Ark of Salvation?" Wang Bing asked.

"The Lord of Silence has said that if it were the Ark in its prime, he would definitely retreat," the Master of the Tower of Time said, "but the current Ark, even with a Supreme’s energy boost, can’t match half of its strength in its prime."

Wang Bing was inwardly shaken.

Although she was somewhat distant from the center of the conflict, as a Supreme, she could clearly feel how powerful that previous shot was.

Under that shot, she might not have had even the slightest chance to retaliate before perishing.

Now the Master of the Tower of Time was saying that the current Ark of Salvation wasn’t even half as powerful as it was in its prime?

How strong was the Ark of Salvation in its prime then?

"In its prime, even the Saint Emperor would not dare to withstand it directly," the Master of the Tower of Time said again, "Although the artisans of the Refining Epoch did not cultivate the Great Path, the Ark of Salvation they crafted was powerful enough to be ranked among the top five in the eighteen Epochs."

Wang Bing didn’t speak, but her shock was undiminished.

So powerful that even the Saint Emperor dared not face it directly?

She truly couldn’t imagine it.

"Get ready to draw in the Lord of Silence!" the Master of the Tower of Time declared.

...

In a flash, that powerful beam of light directly struck the Lord of Silence, the immense and vast energy completely engulfing his body.

Even the phantom figure behind the Lord of Silence was submerged in the tidal wave of energy.

"This shot is more powerful than any I have seen from a Supreme," a powerhouse remarked.

"I have experienced the cataclysm of the previous Epoch, but I have never seen an attack stronger than this one," said another ancient Saint Emperor.

"The Ark of Salvation is the crystallization of the pinnacle of the Refining Epoch, the only weapon capable of defeating a Supreme with something external."

"..."

Seeing this strike, many powerhouses discussed animatedly.
