The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator

Chapter 68: Chapter 66: The Spectacle

Back against the Thunder Pool.

Qin Jin’s thoughts were very clear.

Facing opponents who held the idea of determining victory or defeat in a single battle, Qin Jin, much like when he faced Song Niancheng, would not kill ruthlessly. But if anyone truly wished to fight to the death, he would satisfy them.

A strange scene appeared at the endpoint of the Star God Forbidden Area.

After successfully hunting enough constructs and beginning to delve deeper into the forbidden area, the competitors surprisingly discovered that some were choosing to turn back and leave the area.

This undoubtedly raised alarms in their hearts, feeling that something had changed in the depths of the forbidden area.

…

“Finally, it’s almost there.”

Diaz looked at the ever-closer Thunderbolt Divine Tree and let out a long breath.

Su Su and Zhang Cheng helped him hunt the constructs as much as possible until they couldn’t withstand the repulsion force and chose to leave.

As he ventured deeper, the repulsion force around him hadn’t fully diminished, and he still felt somewhat suppressed.

But…

He finally reached the endpoint.

“With this, it’s somewhat accounted for them.”

A thought flashed through his mind.

He initially had no intention of participating in the final competition, and his path to this point was more about self-tempering. The current result was deserving of the effort he had put in.

Looking ahead, he gazed in the direction where the Thunderbolt Divine Tree stood, his gaze tightening.

“Why is there only one person?”

“My progress isn’t fast, there should have been quite a few people here by now.”

“Wait, it’s that person!”

At the moment he saw Qin Jin’s face from afar, he immediately recognized his identity.

After all, the scene of subduing the Saber-toothed Tiger was too shocking for them.

Recalling those he met coming out of the depths of the forbidden area, a thought suddenly arose in his mind, with waves of shock in his eyes.

“No way?”

Soon.

His speculation was verified.

As he observed, newcomers arrived again.

He clearly saw Qin Jin decisively defeat the enemies, and after they retreated, Qin Jin’s gaze turned toward him.

One glance swept over.

Qin Jin didn’t resort to a spiritual attack, but Diaz clearly felt a chill in his heart, a sense of cold dread passing through.

It was the result of victory after victory, making his spiritual will even sharper, enveloped in the momentum of victory.

Involuntarily, Diaz stepped back a few steps.

Without the slightest hesitation, he turned and left.

He had already accomplished his initial goal.

Most importantly…

The mental alarm warned him that if he truly fought this person, it was highly possible…

He would die!

…

In the depths of the forbidden area.

A tall figure stood, surrounded by Life Energy, appearing in a strange flame-like color, as if flames were circling around him, continually flowing like water.

Crown Sect.

Ding Que!

Nearby, about a few meters ahead, there was a petite figure, clothes ragged, face down on the ground, life or death unknown.

It was none other than Ning Zhi, whom Qin Jin had seen riding a Thunder Tiger.

“This little girl’s strength is truly amazing.”

Ding Que’s voice harbored excitement: “Seems like it wasn’t entirely a bad thing to arrive here later.”

“At least the remaining opponents are all elites.”

He moved his arms, the sound of stretching bones echoed, his gaze fixed on the front.

There, a figure stood with a cautious gaze full of dread.

Chen Zhiwu.

Ning Zhi’s teammate.

“Now, it’s your turn.”

“I hope you can satisfy me.”

As he stepped closer, Ding Que actively closed the distance: “Your teammate isn’t dead yet, I spared her life.”

“As long as you’re strong enough, you can save her anytime.”

“Or, if your performance is outstanding, I’ll give you the chance to take her away.”

The dread in Chen Zhiwu’s eyes faded, replaced by seriousness.

He stepped forward with his right leg, forming a bow stance, hands spread, ready for action.

In the next instant.

The two figures clashed together!

…

Forbidden area, Thunder Pool.

Qin Jin closed his eyes to rest.

This was the final destination. Those who could reach here were all considered geniuses, and upon contact and encounter, no one would submit, refusing to give in.

During his process of welcoming opponents here, he could hear the distant sounds of battle from time to time.

Independent here, constantly engaging the enemy.

At this moment.

From the front, the sound of dense footsteps approached, Qin Jin opened his eyes and looked, seeing dozens of figures approaching towards the edge of the cliff in unison.

With one glance, old and new faces intertwined, among which were two familiar faces.

They were competitors he had previously defeated, spared because he had not intended to kill them.

Facing the gaze Qin Jin cast upon them, one of them spoke with a deep gaze and voice.

“You truly are strong.”

“But you’re too arrogant.”

“Everyone has struggled to reach here, it’s not easy, yet you want to block everyone’s path.”

“You spared my life before. Now, I can also leave you a way out.”

“Quietly step aside, exit the Chosen One competition, and we can let you leave.”

“Why waste words with him?”

Beside him, a voice from a new face emerged: “To me, it’s you two who are too weak.”

“Actually being defeated consecutively by one person in a wheel battle.”

“Kid.”

That person’s gaze fell on Qin Jin, voice ice-cold: “Now, get out of the forbidden area.”

Qin Jin ignored him.

His gaze fell on those two familiar faces, his tone calm: “I gave you an opportunity.”

“What a pity.”

As soon as the words of regret were uttered, Qin Jin moved.

The Celestial Thunder Body activated, a dazzling Thunder Armor enveloped his entire body, and his figure shot forward explosively.

“Dare to make a move?!”

“Arrogant!”

As the exclamations arose, Qin Jin, like a flash of lightning, charged into the crowd, targeting the person who spoke first.

His hand formed a fist, surrounded by brilliant thunder, and amidst the crowd, Qin Jin disregarded everything, landing a punch on that person’s chest.

Boom!

A blast sounded, Thunder Power erupted, and the opponent’s body flew backward, crashing to the ground, twitching a few times before falling still.

As that punch was delivered, Divine Intent acted, the Golden Armored Divine General tore through the sky, slashing into the Spiritual World, beheading the enemies!

The expression on another familiar face suddenly froze, their eyes dimmed, and they fell straight to the ground.

Everything happened extremely fast.

The others were just about to make a move when they realized that the two initiators who had initially invited them to join forces were already dead.

“Don’t be afraid.”

“He’s all alone.”

“Take action!”

As the cries rang out,

from different angles, different distances, the others immediately attacked, ready to besiege.

Seeing is believing.

Actually witnessing Qin Jin’s attack raised their awareness instantly, the words of those two initiators echoed in their minds.

Qin Jin stood in the center of the crowd.

As he retracted his fist, a majestic light rose in his eyes.

Engraving: Three-headed Exotic Python.

Activate!

Silently, the differences at the spiritual level allowed their Spiritual World to become unobstructed, deepening as that incomparably majestic Ancient Relic Species appeared before them.

Freezing, extreme cold, trembling.

Their Spiritual World was impacted, their thoughts froze, each figure petrified on the spot.

Then…

In the Spiritual World, the python mouth of the central python head of the Three-headed Exotic Python opened wide, and a torrent of Spiritual Power, containing extreme cold, surged out!

Bang, bang, bang…

A series of dull sounds echoed.

That was the sound of figures collapsing to the ground as their spirits extinguished.

Qin Jin turned around and stepped back towards the edge of the Thunder Pool Cliff.

He guarded this place alone, sparing those opponents without the intent to kill.

This wasn’t arrogance.

Rather… he had already gained the strength to take responsibility for his choices!

However, no tolerance for repeated chances, since they didn’t cherish the opportunity he gave them, they would forever slumber here.

Standing at the cliff’s edge, Qin Jin closed his eyes gently, his heart calm, continuing to meditate and recuperate.

As time passed.

Several one-on-one and one-against-many battles went by, until now.

It had been some time since new contenders arrived at the Thunder Pool.

“Has the Forbidden Zone been cleared?”

The Forbidden Zone was vast, but at this moment, at the front of the Thunder Pool, only the thunder echoed, seeming somewhat lonely.

Opening his eyes, Qin Jin turned around and looked back.

Within the Thunder Pool, thunder rolled, with raging thunder waves reaching tens of thousands of meters high, roaring tumultuously.

At the very center.

The Thunderbolt Divine Tree grew even larger, continuously expanding, encroaching upon the space of the Thunder Pool. It was already connecting with heaven and earth, now in its expansion, becoming an unimaginably terrifying giant, its incomparable sense of oppression spreading in all directions.

“What would the Star God of the Mining Star look like?”

Qin Jin pondered within his heart.

The Star God was the most important ally of the Starfire Federation, even at Chu Tianyi’s base, he had never seen any information or images of other Gaia Planet Star Gods.

The word “Divine Spirit.”

Contained countless mysteries, known as one of the most enigmatic presences in the Star Sea.

As thoughts swirled in his mind.

Qin Jin focused his gaze.

In his sight, the massive tree body of the Divine Tree formed by the thunder actually… developed cracks!

This was an unimaginable scene.

Rather than perceiving it with the naked eye, it was more of a subtle feeling from the heart.

The tree body, formed by the convergence and assembly of thunder, was already full of countless gaps, yet viewing it in the past would yield a sense of Perfection, as if this Divine Tree was exactly as it should be, containing vibrant life energy, continually growing.

But observing it now.

It was as if cracks appeared on exquisite porcelain, extremely conspicuous, the cracks on the Divine Tree were directly captured and perceived by Qin Jin.

“Star God…”

“Is about to emerge?”

As the thought crept into his mind, Qin Jin contemplated various complex ideas, but ultimately, all returned to tranquility.

Born on the Mining Star, destined to be caught up in this unparalleled storm, and now… this storm was finally reaching its end.

Qin Jin raised his head, gazing upward.

At this moment, at the top of the Thunderbolt Divine Tree, the thunderclouds surged continuously, converging from all directions, the thunder raging as they formed an unparalleled terrifying vortex above!

Within the Forbidden Zone, with the commencement of the Chosen One event, it was the final area of Mining Star shrouded by thunderclouds.

Now…

From the outermost edge of the Forbidden Zone, the thunderclouds rolled, the clouds spun, the thunder chased the clouds, converging towards the center.

This was an unimaginable cosmic event!

In the vortex-like sky, thunder dragons wove through the clouds, endless, reflecting the firmament.

In the face of such a cosmic event, one could only deeply feel one’s insignificance.

And it was at this moment.

Qin Jin felt something, turning around to look behind him.

There, a tall figure, clad in a cloak with a hood, was slowly approaching.

“There are actually other contenders existing deep within this Forbidden Zone.”

The thought skidded across his mind.

Qin Jin’s gaze fell on the chest of the approaching figure’s cloak.

There.

Was embroidered the cult emblem he was currently most familiar with.

The half-gold, half-white sun pattern rippled with layered waves.

It was unknown what kind of thread was used.

Under the reflection of the thunderlight, the golden half of the sun emitted a faint glow, while the white half appeared slightly dull.

This tall figure halted a few dozen meters away from Qin Jin.
