Chapter 1734

Zhao Fu forced his Spirit Qi into the Philosopher's Stone in his hand. Quickly a few screams were heard from the obese youth inside the Philosopher's Stone, but then there was nothing, and his soul was directly burned, causing immense fear in the other alchemists. The mysterious expert was experimenting with the life of one of their people, There was no telling what he would do next.

However, Zhao Fu was not interested in them for the time being, his gaze was on the formation on the turtle's head.

Zhao Fu was very interested in it because this kind of war fortress was extremely terrifying. If Great Qin could use it, it would instantly be one of the greatest trump cards of the Great Qin Empire.

After careful inspection, Zhao Fu was somewhat disappointed and relieved. Although he could not control this giant mechanical beast, it was just like a real machine. If it was left alone, it would not move by itself and would not be able to attack actively.

This was different from the outer world. When those insect beasts saw people from the Heaven Awaken world, they would go crazy and attack, and they could not be tamed for use by Great Qin.

Even if Great Qin had already tamed millions of outer world creatures and had the ability to control them, those controlled insect beasts would still attack uncontrollably when they saw people from the Heaven Awaken world. This was also the reason why Zhao Fu cultivated his own insect beasts.

But now this mechanical turtle did not have this drawback. If a few alchemists were subdued and made to control it, Great Qin should also have the ability to handle this kind of war fortress.

Now Zhao Fu looked at those alchemists and smiled, saying, "I don't need to say much, do I? Will you choose to submit or choose death?"

A young man with a determined look on his face looked at Zhao Fu and said, "If you want to kill us, then kill. There's no need to waste your breath. We will not submit to you people from the Heaven Awaken world, and our clan will definitely avenge us, when that happens you will be slaughtered."

Zhao Fu didn't care about the young man's threat. With a wave of his hand a huge force was released which directly smashed the young man's head. Even more blood and brain splattered, staining the faces of those around him, making the scene even more bloody.

The frail woman among them trembled in fear and said, "Please don't kill me! I'm willing to submit to you. I'll tell you anything you want to know."

Her surrender made a few others hesitate because it was obvious they wouldn't be killed either, including the woman who was their captain.

In the end, three women and two young men surrendered, including the captain. As for the others who didn't surrender, Zhao Fu didn't kill them but planned to take them back for research.

After placing restrictions on the three women and two young men, Zhao Fu released them and asked, "What is that mechanical turtle?"

The captain replied calmly, "That's our clan's holy beast. It was created by capturing a complete alchemy god turtle, it is judged to be a fourth-level holy beast according to its strength. It has a very terrifying destructive power."

Zhao Fu nodded and asked, "How many of these holy beasts does your clan have?"

The woman answered calmly, "Not many, about a dozen or two of them!"

Zhao Fu breathed a sigh of relief. This kind of war fortress was actually insane. If there were too many of them, it would be impossible to fight against. No matter how many soldiers rushed up, they would eventually be blasted to pieces.

"Can you still control this holy beast now?" Zhao Fu asked the question he was concerned about. It was just a guess before, but now he wanted to confirm it.

The woman shook her head and replied, "No!"

Zhao Fu was a little confused. "Why not? You could use it before you submitted. Why can't you use it now?"

The woman explained by showing the back of her hand, "You see, we don't have the alchemy clan mark on our backs now because we submitted to you. We are now traitors, thus the alchemy clan mark disappeared. The holy beast requires the alchemy clan mark to be controlled. You see those who didn't surrender still have the mark on their hands."

Hearing her words, Zhao Fu looked at the hands of those who didn't surrender and indeed saw a green mark resembling a combination of a turtle shell and runes, which looked very mystical.

"So the mechanical turtle can't be used by Great Qin?" Zhao Fu felt disappointed. He was about to ask more questions when the Demon Empress reminded him, "Your Majesty, numerous stronger people are approaching. We must leave here first!"

At this moment, the woman also said, "There is a connection between holy beasts, and the alchemy clan mark also has a connection. The people who are coming should be from our clan."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Fu didn't have any suspicions. He burst out with a powerful force which pressed down on Holy Beast, while his left golden eye rapidly rotated. A black hole appeared on the ground, and the huge mechanical turtle slowly sank into it.

Zhao Fu couldn't bear to leave such a huge war fortress behind. Its possible that it could still be used by Great Qin in the future. Now that it was sealed in the sealing space, the connection would also be sealed, so there shouldn't be any problems.

Now that the Alchemy World has been greatly explored and many Alchemy people have been captured, Zhao Fu and his group have no reason to stay here any longer.

Returning to the place they first arrived, this location is now connected to the Great Battlefield Gate with Great Qin, allowed them to return directly to the Great Qin Empire.

Upon returning to Great Qin, Zhao Fu did not immediately summon his civil and military officials to discuss matters, but instead continued to converse with the woman and inquire about various details regarding the Alchemy World.

After half a day, Zhao Fu received quite a bit of useful information and truly understood what kind of world the Alchemy World was.

Firstly, in the Alchemy World, there are no countries or sects, only various organizations and families control the entire world. This is different from the Heaven Awaken World.

The main force that exists in the Alchemy World is various kinds of alchemical power, without any other power. This kind of alchemical power is an innate power that one is born with, and when it is highly condensed, it will form a Philosopher's Stone.

Zhao Fu's previous guess was wrong - not all living creatures in the Alchemy World have Philosopher's Stones. Some weaker creatures do not possess Philosopher's Stones.

Philosopher's Stones contain a large amount of vitality and power while also possessing various unimaginable functions. They can also be applied in various ways and are the core supporting object of the Alchemy World. Without Philosopher's Stones, the Alchemy World would probably collapse.

Research on Philosopher's Stones has always been a priority in the Alchemy World. Zhao Fu is most concerned about the weaknesses of Philosopher's Stones. If the weaknesses of Philosopher's Stones are mastered, one could control the entire Alchemy World.

No power is perfect. For example, in the Heaven Awaken World, spiritual energy is restrained by chaotic energy, while chaotic energy is restrained by the Annihilating Spirit Stones. Similarly, there are powers that restrain alchemical power.
