The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1373

…

2 weeks have passed since they left the City of Aewa…

The giant eagle soon passed through a vast forest where the endless sea of green could be seen everywhere.

According to legend, this land that belongs to the kingdom of Radong was once a barren wilderness. However, after the large battle, thousands of years ago between two groups of powerful Shens, the wilderness was destroyed and from the ashes of that destruction new life emerges and became the vast forest.

Hence the forest was named, Chaos forest… because the forest literally came out after the chaos and destruction of the barren wilderness.

Suddenly, a loud alarm was heard and the loud cry from the giant eagle alerted everyone.

Upon hearing this, every one of those powerful beings in the ship quickly ran outside the deck and looks at the situation.

From the horizon, they could see a large number of flying beasts coming right at them.

"Protect the flying beast!" shouted the tamer.

With that everyone crew and other leaders with the cultivation level of Ki-Champion quickly floated in the air with their weapons on hand.

From the number of beasts in the sky, they are sure that the eagle would not be able to handle those creatures.

Xin Ja and his group also came to the deck and noticed the number of flying beasts heading toward them.

"You should go inside your cabin… We will take care of the rest…" Ao Jixo commanded as he and the young miss quickly floated in the air with their weapons already on hand.

Xin Ja looks at Master Yo and Rong Guan.

"Master Yo, I think it would be better if you go back to your quarters… Rong Guan! Do you want to help?" Xin Ja called.

"No, I will also fight…" Master Yo has already considered himself a part of the Ao family, so he also wanted to help.

"Master Yo, in the alchemy contest to the capital, you are one of the hopes of the Ao Family… They needed you more than me…" Xin Ja said in a low voice.

Master Yo has already known that Xin Ja would not stay in the family. So the logical option and the hope of the family would surely rest on him.

He could only look with reluctance as he run back to his quarters.

At this time, Xin Ja takes out an exoskeleton armor and an MCAW and handed them to Rong Guan.

"Put this on and come back here when you are ready…" he said as he signaled for Rong Guan to go inside.

Rong Guan did not hesitate to follow Xin Ja's command and run inside to put on the armor.

Meanwhile, Xin Ja touches his wristband and inserted a Ki-stone into a slot.

As he closes the slot, the energy from the Ki stone immediately powered up and traveled toward his back.

Xin Ja touches the circular thing on his belt and his robe was ripped apart as several metallic pieces flew out of his body connected by a membrane.

Then the metallic pieces flew back and attached themselves to his body forming a silver metal armor.

This is one of his new armor gear prototypes that he crafted using the new alloy that he combined.

Instead of the bulky Mecha, he chooses to create the more manageable exoskeleton armor.

After the armor has stuck to his body, it quickly adjusted to a perfect fit and calibrated the hydraulic of the suit.

After the calibration, Xin Ja connected his Absolute Sense to the helmet of the suit and he could already see within 100 meters away from him in a 3D 360 degrees angle.

"The suit works as designed…" Xin Ja muttered as his calibrations has now been fine-tuned.

On the screen in front of him, he could now see the flying beasts that have now closed in on them.

He could not help but gasp cold air as he saw what type of beasts they are encountering.

He takes out his blade and began floating in the air behind the group of Ki-Champions.

Suddenly, one of the Ki-Champions was stunned to see a metal golem floating behind him.

"What the heck is that thing?" he muttered as he looks at Xin Ja.

"Hey, is this a golem?" he suddenly called his companion.

A bearded middle-aged man then turns around and saw Xin Ja in the exoskeleton and was stunned.

He could not help but be curious about what that thing floating behind them is.

He looks around and tries to see if there are people controlling it, but found no one, so he just shrugged his shoulder.

"That might be one of the weapons of one of Ki-Champions here…" he just said but is not sure if he is correct.

There are a variety of beasts coming right at them. Some are small ones that look like sparrows, while the biggest is a gigantic wyvern half the size of the giant flying eagle.

Caw!!!

The eagle suddenly called which send powerful sound waves assaulting the flying beasts that has reached their range.

In that one blast, the number of flying beasts fell numbers by hundreds. But that actually did not thin down the number of the attacking flying beasts.

"Here we go! Everyone! Attack!" shouted one of the Ki-Champions.

Not all of the Ki-Champions have participated in the attack. Three old figures are standing on the deck while looking at the battle above them.

The three has already noticed Xin Ja transformed and they too were astonished. But they knew that metal armor would only hinder one in a battle so not everyone would actually wear them.

Suddenly, Xin Ja moved through the air as if he just disappeared.

He has not used teleportation for a while, but in this battle, he decided to practice using teleportation with the armor. He did not know how much range the armor will enhance his ability. But this battle will surely test it out.

As soon as he uses his teleportation skill, his figure has suddenly appeared atop the neck of a wyvern.

Without hesitation, Xin Ja covered his blade with his Qi and then pushes his body downward in a slicing motion.

With the swift attack and hidden killing intent, the wyvern did not even know how it died as its huge carcass just fell off from the sky.

When the others saw this, they did not hesitate to quickly clash with the flying beasts.

The air battle began as thousands of flying creatures began attacking the giant eagle.

But thankfully, those three older men were able to create a barrier to protect the eagle along with the tamer.

However, the building on the black eagle's back is not protected so it was attacked by some of the smaller beasts.

A commotion inside the building happened as the others who are not joining the front lines began to fight with the smaller flying beasts.

Meanwhile, Xin Ja feels elated as he fought with the giant beasts in the air.

Suddenly, a medium-sized creature that looks like a flying tiger with red stripes suddenly rushes towards him.

Xin Ja immediately detected that the creature is actually a powerful beast. It has already reached the primary stage of the Ki-Champion realm.

"That thing is a level 31 beast." He muttered as he quickly activated his protection talisman.

Clang!!!

The claw strike of the beast tore apart the protection talisman with ease. But this creates an opportunity for Xin Ja to escape its attacking range.

He was about heave a sigh of relief when suddenly he saw it opening its mouth and a beam of light appears from it.

Boom!!!

The beam of light was about to hit Xin Ja when another barrier activated to protect his body which was sent tumbling into the air.

"That was close!" he muttered as he quickly activates the rest of the armor's protection.

Then without hesitation, he rushes towards the 31st-level beast.

"Is that thing seeking death?" an old man who casually slaps a level 28 beast noticed the battle between the metal golem and the mighty beast.

"Haha… I don't about you guys, but there is a person inside that thing… He is relying too much on his artifact… he would surely be defeated as that clunky armor would stop his movement…" another one commented as he just killed another wyvern.

"Yeah, I know who is inside that thing is… He is an alchemist…" someone suddenly said while smiling.

It was the silver-haired old lady in a ponytail. She saw how that artifact suddenly covered the young alchemist's body and how that young man bravely attacked those Ki-Master level beasts.

But she is not sure if he would be able to withstand an attack from a Ki-Champion. So, she now watches with interest the battle between that iron-clad young man and the flying tiger.

"If he would be in danger, I will save him… If that young guy owes me a favor, maybe I could get some benefit from it like those crafty old hooligans with him…" she thought as he watches with interest.

Soon, the figure of Xin Ja came closer to the flying tiger while he dodges adeptly the barrage of laser beams thrown at him.

As his figure flew closer, he immediately lifted his dark blade and held it with two hands while flying.

At this time, the flying tiger also barred its fangs and claws to meet the foolish human.
