Otherworldly Desert Dust-Chapter 428 383: Confronting the Asura Head Directly
...
In the struggle at the living nexus between Evil City and Grand Canyon City, a bronze spear and an Evil Demon Blade danced like malevolent spirits. After severing the nexus's bonds, they engaged in battle with the armed war generals.
The armed war generals thought some alien Evil Spirit had been born. They unleashed astonishing energy, trying to block the actions of these two Evil Spirit weapons.
Meanwhile, Wu Hen found himself clashing with a large group of armed war generals. These warriors, upon seeing an unfamiliar Transcendent man suddenly appear, all froze in shock. Then they all spread their mechanical wings, with the tracking cannons on the wings locking onto Wu Hen.
Nearly a hundred pairs of mechanical wings released energy cannons that carved eerie arcs through the cave. They even automatically avoided the rock cover, blasting towards Wu Hen from extremely tricky angles.
Wu Hen danced on the rocky walls, turning his head to see fire from the energy cannons pursuing him like wild serpents. They left long trails of flames, forming a giant colorful python that followed him with extreme agility through the complex underground structures. Even with the infusion of his Fifth Rank Physique and Holy Breath, he couldn't shake them off.

"These Mechanical War Generals have some tricks." Wu Hen hadn't expected the warriors under the Ancient Temple Shura Head to be such fierce Iron Men.
He concentrated his golden Holy Breath into his legs to ensure he could leap across the chasm with Golden Flames underfoot, while silver Holy Breath gathered in his palm. With a wave of his hand, he sent a blizzard of silver Holy Breath towards the energy cannon fire following him.
The energy cannon fire quickly cooled and slowed down.
"Surrender immediately!" the brown-golden leader of the war generals commanded loudly.
At that moment, an alarm bell for internal invasion had been sounded in Grand Canyon City. While their main combat forces were engaged in battle with Steel Eagle City, they also dispatched a large number of armed war generals to hunt down Wu Hen, the Transcendent.
The command staff of Grand Canyon City were extremely cautious. They had labeled Wu Hen as a secret weapon of Steel Eagle City, speculating that he intended to internally sabotage their city's structure.
As Wu Hen displayed overwhelming strength, Grand Canyon City had no choice but to deploy more elite squads to intercept him, which ironically gave Steel Eagle City a brief respite.
After all, Steel Eagle City was a huge engine metropolis. It was unlikely that they could be destroyed in one fell swoop. In close-hand combat, the wings of Steel Eagle City broke free and activated backup engines, generating an enormous propulsive force that soared from the ground into the sky.
The entire surface layer of rock was lifted by Steel Eagle City into midair, while Hell Nine-Headed City clung tightly to the mighty eagle, rising together over the wetland swamps.
"Boom!!!"
Suddenly, Steel Eagle City retracted its wings and slammed fiercely into the sturdy rock surface below.
Following such a heavy blow, even the sturdy structures of Hell Nine-Headed City developed numerous cracks, with countless mechanical parts bouncing out of the fissures and scattering into the squirming mass of the Living City below.
This massive move caused Grand Canyon City to tilt, and Wu Hen, who had been speeding along steep rock walls, found himself running as the rock wall became the ground and the previously-below living nexus now hung above his head...
As Hell Nine-Headed City turned on its side, the armed war generals that had been pursuing Wu Hen slammed into rocky arms due to the shift in gravity. By the time they readjusted and resumed the chase, Wu Hen had already shaken them off.
"This is bad, his target is the Ancient Temple Shura Head!" The war generals scanned Wu Hen's trail, only to realize that he had taken a very large loop, with his ultimate target being the Ancient Temple Shura Head.
"Attention, please, attention, a highly dangerous Transcendent is approaching the Ancient Temple Shura Head. He could be the secret weapon of Steel Eagle City!"
The news reached the command temple of the Ancient Temple Shura Head immediately. There, Commander Wei Yan furrowed his brows. Two holographic screens sat before him: one depicted Steel Eagle City in its death throes, and the other showed a mysterious man enveloped in a golden radiance hurtling toward them like a beam of light.
"Marshal, another fatal strike on the Crystal Palace District of Steel Eagle City will secure our victory. There's no need to concern ourselves with this mysterious man," said a commander from within the temple.
"Change our course; we can't let it get close to our core!" Commander Wei Yan quickly made his decision.
The Ancient Temple Shura Head, originally at the forefront of the land battlefield, with its exceptional piercing and biting capabilities, could have shattered the core crystal district of Steel Eagle City, causing all their internal mechanisms to fail. But Wei Yan also realized that there was a very cunning commander within Steel Eagle City, not as easy to deal with as imagined. If this was the enemy's trump card, charging blindly forward could waste all their efforts on this single mysterious individual!
The enormous Ancient Temple Shura Head began to dive. This part of Hell Nine-Headed was the most agile, like a demonic dragon of the mountains, its city body quickly sunk into the earth, drilling into the city's interior.
The Shura Head brushed past towering rocky buildings, with multi-story underground temples merely equivalent to its scales. Under Wei Yan's personal control, the Shura Head seemed endowed with a more powerful Dark Energy. It ignited a layer of blood-red battle flames, enhancing the fearsome dragon-like presence even more.
After leading the armed war general troops away, Wu Hen dismantled the living nexus in no time.
With that, all four living nexuses were disassembled, and the entirety of Evil City had completed its disengagement.
"Bai Luobo, we've taken control of three nexuses; is the last one with you?" At that moment, Levi's voice came through.
"Yes, but I can't pilot it, I need you to come to me," Wu Hen responded through the communicator.
"I'm close to you now, I'll be right there... Not good!!" Levi suddenly cried out in alarm.
As Levi exclaimed, Wu Hen also felt a tremendous pressure. When he looked up, he saw the head of the Shura Evil Dragon, resembling a mountain range of Red Flames, almost within reach. Its shaking mechanical pupils locked onto him, small as a fly, as the roaring blaze ignited the entire Earth Cave around them, turning it into a pool of magma.
"We've been targeted," Wu Hen said in a grave voice.
"We can only abandon a quarter of the town's residents now," Levi also sounded somewhat disheartened.
The scale of Evil City was just enough to accommodate all the inhabitants of Prison Town; the other three Living City hubs had already been connected, completing the transfer. However, this last Living City hub was located right under the Ancient Temple Shura Head, easy to dismantle but not so easy to escape from right under its nose.
"I can hold it off for a while, hurry up," Wu Hen took a deep breath and decided to confront this one of the nine heads of Asura Head on.
Saying this, Wu Hen already raised his hands. The Demon Sword Concubine, glowing with brilliant star spots, flew into his palms.
The moment he gripped the Demon Blade, Wu Hen's small figure immediately took on the enormous Demon God Soul Bone. This Soul Bone was the soul remains of the Demon Tiger Ancestor from the Martial Court, just as towering and just as imposing!
Wielding the Demon Sword Concubine, Wu Hen, who seemed like a fly in the enemy's eyes, instantly became the Shaking World Demon Ancestor. His body stretched like the ridges of mountain ranges, and his claws were no less formidable than the City Claw of the Steel Eagle City.
"What a fiercely vigorous person!" Commander Wei Yan also revealed a look of astonishment from his position at the temple.
The entire Asura Head was comprised of tens of thousands of combat elites from Grand Canyon City, making it the fiercest among the Hell Nine-Headed. Yet here was a single man, shaking the pinnacle of their technology created by tens of thousands, challenging their hundreds of sophisticated engines!
Levi had reached the position of the Living City hub. Looking up, he was met with an unimaginable spectacle – a vision of meteors and celestial bodies constantly shattering above their heads, reducing them to a level of insignificance, especially when looking up through the cracks of the earth towards the other eight heads of the Hell Nine-Headed battling with Steel Eagle City...
It was a cataclysmic battle, beyond any description. Towering structures crumbled as if doomsday had come, engines burst from energy overload, revealed beneath the city's foundation. Dark Energy mingled with visibly twisted energy, churning all matter into Desert Dust.
Levi let his arm slot into the control arm, swiftly connecting with the city's engine system.
This engine system had been designed by his close friend, so cracking its core password wasn't difficult. After gaining the highest administrative rights, he immediately activated the small engines of the city, entering the escape mode of this little city squeezed between giant cities!
The city's structure was partially damaged, having been caught between Steel Eagle City and Grand Canyon City, but luckily, its architecture was akin to building blocks. Damaged sections could be combined with other damaged sections to form a complete City Armor, and its engines, compact and exquisite, required little energy and were not prone to damage.
"Let's go, escape this Living City Purgatory!"
Levi activated all the city's engines, directing the three other Living City hubs to follow his commands.
Soon, the city, like Wood Armor Beetles, orderly disassembled itself, wriggling out from the collision between the two great cities...
Most of the townspeople were inside their homes, which, like small fruits on a hedgehog, were secured to the Wood Armor Escape Worm. Steel Eagle City deployed its beak, viciously piercing through the Melted Iron Head of Hell Nine-Headed City. The Melted Iron Head shattered into pieces, raining down into the earth like heavenly meteor showers.
The city continued its flight, like small lives under a natural disaster, getting as far from the irresistible destruction as possible. As the terrifying battlefield slowly receded, it no longer dominated the sky and earth but was left behind, leaving the townspeople still shaken...
This was even more outrageous than crawling out from Ghost Gate; they didn't even know how they had survived such a war.
"Keep heading south towards Fir Forest, that's where the confinement is weakest," Levi instructed his subordinates.
"Why are you going back??" Prison Guards Cheng Liang, Hu Lu, and others asked, puzzled.
"Bai Luobo is still in there. If he's caught, Commander Wei Yan will definitely use him as the number one test subject for Biological Battery technology!" Lei said.
"But you don't have any weapons," Hu Lu said.
"The Prison can still be operated independently," Levi said.
"How can you operate it alone? We'll go with you," Cheng Liang said.
"Alright!" Levi didn't say more and immediately shifted back to the Prison rebuilt atop the small town.
The Prison area and the town's residential area could also be disassembled; initially, the town comprised only the Prison area.
Soon, on the land dancing with fiery flames, a Prison, like a human Mecha, strode confidently, dragging its ironstone structure back into the immense battlefield...
