    This is a novel combining mecha, post-apocalyptic, fantasy, and pure sword cultivation. In the novel, humans, demons, and monsters can all summon mechas using swords. However, these mechas lack a cockpit; the cultivator simply infuses their spiritual power into their sword, stimulating it to generate sword intent. This sword intent slowly condenses in a black vortex, forming the mecha. The summoner then enters a void space, where their movements are mirrored by the spiritual energy, and the mecha performs the same actions. The mechas are collectively referred to as "sword armor" in the text. The novel's background is similar to a popular novel, set in a future Earth where a technological war threatens its collapse. The gods, unwilling to see humanity destroyed, transport the remaining humans to a new world—the Star Realm. Having witnessed the power of cultivation, the humans who initially intended to rebuild their technology decide to abandon technology and begin cultivating, essentially returning humanity to an ancient society. As time passed, humanity gradually forgot about technological society and became obsessed with cultivating and summoning more powerful swords and armor. Humanity used the power of these swords and armor to fight against the invading demons and monsters.

    You could try this one. It's a post-apocalyptic mecha novel. The story takes place after the appearance of giant mechs in Tokyo, leading to global chaos.

The mecha battles are incredibly intense, not the kind of mechanical martial arts where you practice Wing Chun and the punches are visceral.
