Mecha Era: The Chaos Judgment

A tribulation-stage cultivator from the Immortal Spirit Continent is betrayed by his dao companion and sworn brother. A wisp of his remnant soul crosses over into a mecha AI in the year 2088. Using machines as his body and electricity as his energy, he devours all kinds of machinery, rising from a scrap-metal machine spirit to the pinnacle of the myriad worlds. Key appeal: the instant gratification of growing stronger through devouring, the brutal aesthetics of mecha combat, the revenge hook of karmic debts from a past life, and the unexpected charm of "I'm a mecha that can cultivate immortality."
