Chapter 429: Chapter 208 The Donkey

"What nefarious magic is this? What have you done to my Mechanism?"

Situ Wen was both shocked and furious as he stirred his Mechanism, attempting to stomp Chen Shi to death. Unexpectedly, the Mechanism wobbled and twisted, causing him to lose his footing and fall to one side!

The building blocks of the Mechanism, which were nearly as numerous as the houses in a town, were immense. As they toppled, they made a thunderous noise. The Mechanism was smashed to smithereens, but the houses remained intact.

House by house, they tumbled on the ground, then sprouted sturdy legs and stood up, running wildly in all directions!

"We are free!" one of the houses shouted with a gaping maw and a lolling tongue.

The pavilion where Situ Wen resided had not been stamped with the talisman from the Creation Treasure Book by Chen Shi, but the fall from the sky had still dealt him a heavy blow.

Situ Wen got up and saw the houses running chaotically in every direction—it was a far cry from the treasured artifact of the Lu Ban Sect, looking more like a host of haunted houses gone mad!

"Return my sect’s treasured artifact!"

Situ Wen, grief-stricken and irate, suddenly roared, mobilizing his own Mechanicians. Seven glamorous mechanician beauties flew out from the doors and windows of the houses toward Chen Shi.

He once claimed he could control more than three hundred mechanicians, but when it came to combat, he could only control seven at most.

However, just as these seven mechanician beauties flew out from the houses, the houses opened their great maws, tongues lashing out to wrap around the beauties tightly and pull them back into the buildings!

Furious, Situ Wen tried to control other mechanicians within the houses.

But these mechanicians met the same fate as the previous beauties, seized back into the houses as soon as they had escaped.

Chen Shi laughed, "Now it’s my sect’s treasured artifact!"

He formed a spell with his hands, and one house after another came rushing to him. They quickly assembled into a Mechanism about thirty meters tall.

"Situ Wen, you’ve deceived me!"

Situ Wen was almost bursting with fury as he lunged at Chen Shi, shouting, "I don’t need mechanicians to kill you!"

He came with overwhelming momentum, his shrine appearing, Divine Embryo materializing, Nascent Soul soaring, casting spells, channeling his Cultivation Technique, and the earth trembled thunderously as countless rocks and soil flew, forming an Earth Stone Dragon over thirty meters long.

With its head raised and body writhing, its claws sharp and heavy, its Dragon Horns twisted and pointed, the dragon appeared frighteningly realistic.

Chen Shi stood in the pavilion and said in surprise, "Dragon Trace Technique?"

Situ Wen pounced and yelled, "You know of our Lu Ban Sect’s Dragon Trace Technique? Today you shall die under its power!"

He punched from afar, the dragon energetically surged forward, and in an instant, it was before Chen Shi, an overwhelming force bearing down on him!

Chen Shi saw the massive force behind the strike and knew he could not withstand it; even the power field of the Nine-Turn Golden Pill would be pierced through. He immediately stimulated the Mechanism to meet the dragon’s assault head-on!

Operating the Mechanism required a Pill Furnace to keep burning, and thirty-six Artificial Golden Cores to shuttle and function. Situ Wen relied on his Mechanician Skill to control the mechanicians to do all this, but once the Mechanism came into Chen Shi’s hands, the houses themselves rolled up coal with their tongues and fed it into the Pill Furnace, leaving no need for his distracted commands.

Situ Wen’s Dragon Trace Technique was profoundly heavy, but when faced with the Mechanism, a Magical Treasure of such caliber, it was simply no match.

The moment the two collided, the Earth Stone Dragon crumbled under the punch of the Mechanism!

Situ Wen took a step forward, his palms thrusting from his waist, and ten meters away, the earth once again shook thunderously as two Earth Stone Dragons arose, and both dragons rushed at him simultaneously!

Chen Shi stepped forward as well, also thrusting with his palms from his waist, practicing the Dragon Trace Technique. The Mechanism’s arms writhed and morphed, turning houses into two dragons to face Situ Wen’s twin dragons!

"Situ Wen, your Dragon Trace Technique is not authentic!"

Situ Wen’s dragons shattered, and he immediately executed the Return Double Hook, then launched into the Kuixing Kick, pressing on with punches—it was a full set of Taizu Long Fist!

He was surrounded by flying rocks and thunderous sounds as stones rose and turned into dragons, swirling around him and striking at a distance of dozens of meters.

Chen Shi also executed the Dragon Trace Technique, facing the Mechanism head-on.

The two of them stood dozens of meters apart, wielding identical spells in a thunderous collision, the display shockingly powerful.

Situ Wen’s spell was the Lu Ban Sect’s Cultivation Technique, the Dragon Trace Technique. Although incomplete, it was still a top-tier technique, capable of turning dragon points into veins and reaching the Mahayana Realm. With it, he could transform mountain ranges into dragons to strike down foes with formidable might.

Chen Shi too practiced the Dragon Trace Technique, but his was recorded on the Stele outside the True King’s Tomb.

He had visited the Stele forest outside the True King’s Tomb multiple times to study the techniques, and the Dragon Trace Technique was right beside the Three Light Righteous Qi Technique, fully memorized by him.

This technique was of little significance to Chen Shi and didn’t suit his cultivation path, so despite memorizing it, he never practiced it.

Had it not been for Situ Wen performing the Dragon Trace Technique right before him, Chen Shi wouldn’t have bothered cultivating it.

But as Situ Wen unleashed the Dragon Trace Technique, Chen Shi also casually practiced it and found that combined with the Mechanism, its power surged unexpectedly!

The Mechanism must have been crafted following the Dragon Trace Technique!

Situ Wen was both shocked and angered, ceaselessly attacking Chen Shi in a frenzy but continuously being pushed back.

In Chen Shi’s hands, the treasured artifact of the Lu Ban Sect was lively and versatile, even more agile than when it was with him. The houses forming Dragon Veins, writhing and transforming, assailing and injuring foes—the sophistication of the techniques even surpassed his!

Not only was his Dragon Trace Technique inferior to Chen Shi’s, but he couldn’t also match Chen Shi’s operation of the Mechanism!
