Chapter 790
Adds Another Level!
A dark red light curtain unfolded above the maintenance platform.
Tianheng's complete left arm appeared in the light screen. Deep within his shoulder, energy patterns converged towards his chest, connecting to the Source Heart.
Solomon raised his hand and zoomed in on one of the segments.
He stared for a moment, and then a deep vibration suddenly came from his chest.
Tianheng's main eye turned to him.
"You possess a Source Heart?"
"have."
Solomon opened the containment pod on his chest.
The three layers of armor retracted one by one, revealing a purplish-black sphere suspended inside the cabin, with fine electric arcs running along its surface.
It was the same one that Shen Tian had given him before.
"I'm going to fuse with it and break through to the tenth rank."
Solomon looked at Tianheng.
"I've done all the necessary preparations during this period, but I'm not entirely confident yet."
Red Falcon looked up from the platform next to him.
Xinghuan also stopped examining the wound.
All three of them focused their gaze on the Origin Heart.
Tianheng stretched out his only remaining right hand and pointed to the pattern in the light screen that was connected to the core.
"Send your energy in and walk along this path."
Solomon raised his hand as instructed.
A wisp of the power of law probed into the heart of the source, and purple electric arcs suddenly lit up, with layers of interwoven light patterns emerging inside the sphere.
His power circled halfway through it and then stopped.
"Once you arrive here, you will return to the outer layer."
"Because you've always been controlling it from the outside."
The celestial balance point extends into the depths of the light pattern.
"The soul must enter. Only when this step is completed will it become your heart."
Solomon stared at the spot, not immediately withdrawing his power.
Xinghuan took over the conversation.
"We can help you."
Shen Tian looked at the three of them.
"Can your injuries hold up?"
"For us celestial beings, the Heart of Origin still exists; the injuries on our bodies are merely external."
"Of course, our Source Heart was also damaged."
Tianheng lowered his right hand. He could see that although Solomon was a human, he was indeed very suitable for the Source Heart.
It is suitable for following the system of the Sky Civilization.
"The three of us have all been on this path. With our help, it will be much easier for him to break through."
Akatsuki flexed his fingers.
"Once he completes his breakthrough and is able to successfully mobilize the source energy, he can also help us repair ourselves."
Solomon turned around, and the purple light on his chest reflected on Shen Tian's face.
"Speaker, I'd like to give it a try."
Shen Tian looked at the Origin Heart and nodded.
"Source, make room, and ensure energy supply keeps up."
"I'll stay here and keep watch."
The maintenance platform was moved to both sides.
The engineering puppet withdrew from the central area, and the heavy isolation door slowly closed.
The energy pipes beneath their feet lit up, and the source temporarily shifted the nearby manufacturing tasks, clearing out the entire area.
Solomon walked to the center.
Red Falcon and Star Ring stood on either side, while Tian Heng sat on the platform directly in front. The breastplates of the three of them opened simultaneously.
Three Source Hearts were revealed.
Their light still varies in intensity, but the internal pulse is very clear.
Solomon gazed at the scene before him and slowly withdrew the outward-released mechanical laws.
In the past, he was able to manipulate many mechanical clones at the same time, using their eyes to observe and their arms to work.
At this moment, he withdrew those distant perceptions one by one.
All my attention was focused on my chest.
"Watch your own consciousness."
Tianheng's voice came through.
"Leave the rest to us."
Three beams of light entered the purplish-black sphere, diverting the electric arcs that were originally jumping outwards to both sides, thus giving way to the core center.
Solomon did not hesitate any longer.
The power of the soul, following the laws of mechanics, went straight into the heart of the source!
hum!
Purple light instantly filled the entire area.
Solomon’s massive body jolted violently, his eyes went out, and his raised mechanical hand froze in mid-air.
The sphere on his chest began to throb violently.
A humanoid phantom emerged inside, only to be engulfed by the surging light.
Red Falcon took half a step forward to stabilize the surging energy.
Xinghuan raised both palms, gathering the scattered soul light back to the edge.
Tianheng always kept his eyes on the core center.
"Continue. Bring your energy in with you!"
Solomon's drooping fingers twitched.
A thick mechanical law pierced his chest, and the outline of his soul suddenly appeared on the surface of the purplish-black sphere.
This time, the outline did not disappear.
As it pulsates with the core, it gradually sinks into the depths, merging with the interwoven light patterns within.
Shen Tian raised his hand.
Four layers of barriers unfolded around them, blocking the sudden surge of energy within the area.
Even through the barrier, he could clearly feel Solomon's life force converging towards that heart.
The two forces, which were initially separated by barriers, gradually began to move in unison.
Boom!
A heavy heartbeat sounded.
The Source Heart, suspended inside the containment chamber, sank downwards and fell completely into Solomon's chest.
Purple light surged out along the torso.
The heavy armor separated on its own, and the entire mechanical body was lifted off the ground, unfolding and reassembling in the light.
The laws pass through the steel, and wherever they go, patterns appear on the metal surface that are connected to the core.
Solomon opened his eyes again.
The world before my eyes suddenly became clear.
He felt the throbbing in his chest and the fullness of power flowing through his arms.
The suspended hand slowly clenched.
No instructions need to be given to it.
The moment the thought arose, my five fingers came together, as if it were something I was born with.
Solomon lowered his head and looked at his palm.
The Source Heart in the chest cavity suddenly shone brightly!
The aura that had been pressing down at the end of the ninth level suddenly burst forth, its immense pressure crashing in all directions, only to be completely absorbed by the boundary barrier that Shen Tian had deployed.
Tenth Rank!
Red Falcon was the first to withdraw his hands, and Star Ring also withdrew its protective power.
Even without the help of the three, the light on Solomon's chest remained steady.
Energy flows from the core throughout the body, then returns to the chest, in a continuous cycle.
Tianheng looked at it for a moment and finally nodded.
"It's done."
The source's projection lit up outside the boundary wall.
"Life core stable, breakthrough complete."
Solomon landed slowly.
The soles of my feet made a solid metallic sound as they landed on the platform.
He raised his head, looked at the three mechanical beings in front of him, and then looked at Shen Tian.
"Speaker, it's the tenth rank."
The voice was still the same, but it contained an barely concealed excitement.
Shen Tian removed the boundary barrier and laughed.
"Congratulations."
Solomon finally made the path he found in the legacy of the celestial civilization open.
In terms of life form, he is now a true mechanical life form of the Azure Sky Civilization, just like Tianheng and the other two.
It was with the help of these three people, plus the fact that this Source Heart was originally a tenth-order one, that this was possible.
Solomon's breakthrough was very easy.
It was far less dangerous than Ouyang Qianjue.
Shen Tian's gaze fell on Solomon.
In the fading light, a heavy silver-gray mech was revealed.
With broad shoulders and back, and layers of breastplate fastened together, the previously exposed mechanical structure has been retracted.
Purple patterns extended from his chest to his arms, flickering slowly with the pulse of the Source Heart.
Solomon raised his head, and two beams of purple light emanated from his sharply angled metal mask, looking towards Shen Tian.
"How does it feel?"
"very good."
Solomon extended his right hand and gently pressed his left hand on the back of his hand.
"I can feel it."
He increased the pressure, pressing his fingertips against the silver-gray armor.
"I can feel touch and pressure. Before, when I controlled my clones, I had to receive the information they sent back first. Now, as soon as I have a thought, my body moves."
As he spoke, his right arm suddenly stretched forward.
The metal flipped, the five fingers closed, and a thick cannon muzzle protruded from the forearm, its depths glowing with a purple light.
The surrounding air was compressed and slightly distorted.
Shen Tian glanced at it, and Solomon dissipated his energy, the cannon muzzle closed again, returning to its palm shape.
"Source energy".
Solomon looked down at his chest.
"When external energy enters the core, it can be refined into this power. It is much more condensed than the mechanical laws I used before, and it is also easier to control."
