Chapter 1465: True and False Breakthroughs
Although Lady Leya had mentioned a northward journey in half a year, the reality was that they didn't need to wait that long.
Three days later.
Yes, merely three days later, Lady Leya led over two hundred Dominator Rank cultivators in a swift northward assault on the Automaton's territory.
This massive group naturally included Su Yu and Morningstar.
The team consisted entirely of Dominator Rank cultivators, with not a single member below the 7th Tier. Soon, they pierced the heart of the Automatons' territory like a sharp blade!
Dominator Rank cultivators possessed incredible flight speeds.
In just a short span of ten minutes, the main force advanced over a thousand kilometers, directly threatening the Automatons' core city—Crystal Grid City.
It was only here that they encountered the first wave of formidable resistance.
...
The reason Lady Leya launched the assault so soon, instead of waiting half a year, was due to a discovery she made.
This discovery was that her strength far exceeded her expectations, by a factor of ten or more! On the day of her breakthrough, Lady Leya returned to Wind Valley City with the strong cultivators from the South Pole and the injured.
During the return journey, one night, she flew into outer space to examine her newfound strength.
However, she was astonished to find that the power she wielded was terrifying, more than ten times what she had imagined! To put this into concrete terms:
If the strength coefficient of an average Dominator Rank cultivator is set as "1," then during her battle with the legendary Automaton seven days ago, her displayed strength coefficient was approximately 8-9.
She was 8-9, and so was the Automaton.
Yet now, to her surprise, she found that her strength coefficient had reached 100! Not the imagined 10, but a full 100!
This discovery filled her with both joy and confusion.
She was delighted that her current strength was ten times that of the "legendary Automaton," and she could effortlessly slay it with one hand in their next encounter! Her confusion arose from the fact that, despite both her and the Automaton breaking through to the Dominator Rank, their strengths should have been comparable, yet they differed by a factor of ten.
After much contemplation, Lady Leya could only think of one possible explanation: "Perhaps there are two states above the Dominator Rank: a 'True Breakthrough' and a 'False Breakthrough.'
Senior Su Yu and the legendary Automaton both achieved a 'False Breakthrough,' with their strength only ten times that of a beginner Dominator Rank cultivator, adhering to the previous rule of a tenfold increase at each level; whereas I have achieved a 'True Breakthrough,' with my power level reaching a hundred times that of a beginner Dominator Rank cultivator.
In other words, we are not on the same level at all."
Lady Leya considered countless possibilities and found that only this explanation made sense.
That very night, she rushed to Su Yu's room to consult him about his strength.
Su Yu was initially taken aback, but he immediately acknowledged that he had achieved a 'False Breakthrough' and that his strength was only about ten times that of a beginner Dominator Rank cultivator.
After receiving Su Yu's confirmation, Lady Leya's ambition swelled!
Why wait any longer? She could head north immediately!
There was no need to wait half a year.
With her current strength, she could defeat ten 'False Breakthrough' Automatons single-handedly, and the other Automatons would be no match for her.
If she went now, what could the Automatons do to stop her? Thus, she made her decision to head north without delay!
Of course, she wouldn't go alone.
She spent three days gathering all the carbon-based Dominator Rank cultivators.
Leading this group of over two hundred strong cultivators, she swiftly headed north, like an arrow piercing the heart of the Automatons—Crystal Grid City!
The "legendary Automaton" was in Crystal Grid City, which was also the Automatons' core region.
By destroying this place, the remaining Automatons would be of little concern!
Additionally, the location where Su Yu had previously teleported to was also Crystal Grid City.
...
Crystal Grid City could be considered the area with the highest density of Automatons.
Here, there were gigantic Automatons towering like mountains, reaching heights of one or two kilometers, and there were also microscopic Automatons, almost invisible to the naked eye, with lengths of only a few millimeters.
However, one thing they had in common was that they all followed the instructions they received, and under their control, the city operated efficiently.
Upon reaching Crystal Grid City, Lady Leya and the others realized that this was an unimaginable city.
The entire city was woven from steel and glass, and from a macroscopic perspective, it resembled a colossal mechanical monster standing before them.
Each Automaton had a ring of oblong blue light on its head.
Before their arrival, the light rings emitted a steady blue glow, operating smoothly. But as they approached, the rings instantly emitted a dazzling red light! In an instant, the city, originally bathed in blue light, was enveloped in flashing red light, and a loud alarm sounded.
