Chapter 542 Inheritance (5)
This elder wasn't able to dodge out of the way, so he had no choice but to raise his hands and form a spiritual energy barrier in front of him.
While he wanted to follow Lin Fan's orders, he didn't think that this thing would pose any threat to him.
After all, he couldn't even sense any spiritual energy from this thing.
Not to mention, the aura that came from the pillar robot was only in the Low Qi Condensation Realm.
Since this elder was also in the Low Qi Condensation Realm, he didn't believe that he wouldn't be able to block this attack.
As soon as that missile hit the barrier, there was a large explosion.
This was much larger than anyone expected…and at the same time, they could feel the spiritual energy coming from it.
With the aura that this explosion gave off, it was equal to an attack from a cultivator in the High Qi Condensation Realm.
This elder…didn't stand a chance against this.
All of the elders had grim looks on their faces as they waited for this explosion to fade away.
During this time, the pillar robot didn't seem like it was going to do anything. It seemed like it had run out of ammo with just that single wave of missiles.
When the flames of the explosion cleared, everyone couldn't help feeling that the result would be bad. After all, they all thought that the elder would have been seriously injured by this one attack.
But to their surprise, they found that this wasn't the case.
That was because at the last second, Senior Brother Ying had suddenly jumped forward to stand between that elder and the missile.
He was in the High Qi Condensation Realm, so he was able to resist this attack.
Though based on the burns that were on his hand, it didn't seem like he was able to completely block the power of the explosion. It seemed like it was able to break through the barrier that he had created and had burned his hand.
The look on Senior Brother Ying's face made it clear that this thing was much stronger than they thought.
Lin Fan quickly said, "Everyone, move away from it and go to the edge of the clearing!"
As soon as he gave this order, all of the elders immediately spread out around this clearing, making sure that the pillar robot wouldn't get a clean shot with its next attack.
But even after the explosion cleared and they all spread out, the robot didn't do anything.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt just remained there in the center without shooting a single missile out.
Then when all of them reached the edge of the clearing, it was as if there was something that had been triggered.
This robot suddenly started to transform again.
But this time, it wasn't a transformation into something else.
This time, it was reverting back to its original form.
It was going from a robot back into a pillar that was at the center of this clearing.
Lin Fan and all of the elders were shocked to see this, but they didn't do anything just in case the pillar robot would do something else.
After watching it remain idle for a bit, Lin Fan waved at the elders to come over to him.
Some of the elders were on the opposite side of the clearing, so they were about to step into the clearing to come over to Lin Fan. But before they could step into the clearing, Lin Fan said, "Don't step into the clearing. Go around."
The elders were confused, but seeing the serious look on Lin Fan's face, they followed his orders and went around the clearing.
When they gathered, they all looked at Lin Fan with confused looks as if they were asking why he wanted them to go around.
Lin Fan pointed at the pillar and said, "Don't you remember what he said? This thing will trigger as long as we're in the clearing. That was why it suddenly transformed back into its pillar form."
The elders suddenly revealed a look of understanding when they heard this.
They had been so shocked by the power and the fact that the pillar had transformed that they had completely forgotten about this.
So as long as they didn't enter the clearing, this thing wouldn't attack them?
One of the elders couldn't help asking, "Then should we attack it from here?"
All of the elders nodded in agreement when they heard this.
This thing wouldn't attack them if they were out of the clearing, so they could just attack it from afar and pelt it down with attacks while it didn't resist.
Lin Fan just shook his head with a bitter smile before saying, "Can you even crack its barrier?"
When the elders heard this, all of them revealed bitter smiles as well.
That was because they knew that what he said was true.
They had used all of their attacks on the pillar just now and they hadn't been able to crack the barrier that it released.
Even the Golden Core Realm elders hadn't been able to crack it with their attacks.
Though they had been holding back since they didn't want to attract too much attention by attacking with their full force, this was still an attack from a Golden Core Cultivator.
It seemed that this barrier was quite strong…
Lin Fan didn't say anything else as he stared at the pillar in the center.
He was going through his memories at this moment, looking for anything that would help him defeat this pillar robot.
After all, while others didn't know, he knew all about this thing.
He tried to remember any weaknesses that had been present in the show…
But no matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't think of anything.
The show that this robot came from was a hero show, so that meant that this robot was designed to always win. In a sense, this robot could be considered unfair since it would always have some kind of special ability that would deal with the enemy.
So it really was hard for him to deal with it.
While he just sat there staring at the pillar in the center of the clearing, there were roars from monsters that came from around them.
As soon as the elders heard this, they all knitted their brows.
However, they also didn't hesitate as they spread out around the area in response to these beast roars.
Lin Fan just kept staring at the pillar without a single care in the world, almost as if he didn't hear the roars of these beasts.
However, how was it possible that he didn't hear them?
He had heard them, but he was trusting the elders to take care of them for him while he inspected the pillar.
He was certain that as long as he had enough time, he would be able to think of a way to deal with it.
There were sounds of fighting that came from all around him, but there wasn't a single spirit beast that appeared in his sight.
When the sounds finally died down, the elders came back.
There were a few of them that had scratches and injuries on them, but they didn't let that bother them as they watched and waited for Lin Fan to react.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDuring this entire time, Lin Fan had been deep in thought over this matter.
He was going through each one of the episodes in his memories, trying to find any clues as to how to defeat this robot.
But this was the robot of justice, used by the heroes of justice.
It had deus ex machina on its side and never lost a fight…
So how was he supposed to defeat an invincible robot like this?
Lin Fan couldn't help feeling depressed as these thoughts filled his mind…that was until he suddenly remembered something.
That was right, this robot had been defeated in the show.
This was something that happened in the sequel when they wanted to replace this robot with a new robot, so they had written in a weakness that the villains had exploited to destroy this robot.
Then once this robot was destroyed, they went on a journey to find a new robot that replaced this robot.
So that meant that this robot could be destroyed…
But how had it been done?
No matter how hard he tried to remember, he found that his mind was just drawing a blank. He wasn't able to remember how it had happened in the show at all…
That was until the system suddenly said, "In season two, episode one, the villains exploited…"
Lin Fan couldn't help being surprised when he heard this and he asked back to the system, "You've seen the show?"
The system stopped what it had been saying and said, "This system has all of these shows collected in its stores. As long as the host has enough points, the hosts can exchange and watch them at will."
Lin Fan couldn't help being even more surprised when he heard this.
He had never seen this option in the store before…so why didn't the system mention it until now?
The system said, "Because there was no need to mention it. Entertainment like this isn't as interesting as the actual cultivation world."
Lin Fan fell silent as he didn't know what to say in response to this.
But the feeling in his heart told him that he agreed with what the system said.
"System, tell me what happened."
The system once again started recapping the episode for him.
