The Zu Long Avatar's dark-red, dragon-vein blood-flame-burning black greatsword, carrying the terrifying might to incinerate rules and tear apart the void, slashed fiercely towards Xuan Niao! Where the sword's edge passed, space was no longer shattered, but utterly annihilated! Forming a continuously spreading, all-consuming, dark-red void rift!
This sword condensed the vast power of the Li Mountain dragon veins! It condensed the essence of flesh and blood from ten thousand worshipping corpses! It condensed the monstrous rage of an emperor of all ages! Its power had already infinitely approached the Hundred Forms Realm!
Facing this world-destroying sword, Xuan Niao remained suspended in mid-air! His lead-gray Zhongshan suit was motionless in the violent energy storm! His eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses were calm and waveless! As if the star-destroying attack before him was merely a gentle breeze!
He didn't even make a move to raise his hand!
He simply slowly raised his head!
His gaze penetrated the boiling blood flames! Penetrated the annihilated space! Penetrated the Zu Long Avatar's Ferocious and violent crimson vertical pupils! He calmly looked towards the “Ru Shou” battleship, suspended above the sky like a cold behemoth!
“Target locked: Li Mountain Dragon Vein anomaly source.”
“Energy level: Limit Breaking Stage Peak (Dragon Vein Amplified State).”
“Threat level: World-destroying (Critical).”
“Execute pre-plan: Guixu Annihilation Cannon.”
Xuan Niao's cold and calm voice, like the most precise command, instantly entered the “Ru Shou” battleship's main control core through an invisible quantum communication network!
Hum!
The “Ru Shou” battleship's massive hull violently shook!
The dark-blue energy shield covering the hull instantly extinguished! No! It instantly collapsed inward! Condensed! As if being fiercely compressed by an invisible giant hand! Converging on the Xuan Niao emblem at the bow of the ship, which was poised to fly!
The Xuan Niao emblem instantly lit up! Exploding with an unprecedented blinding white light! The light was blazing! Pure! Cold! Like a white dwarf star ignited!
On both sides of the hull! Countless honeycomb-like muzzles instantly opened! Densely packed! Like giant mouths full of fangs! Deep within the muzzles, dark-blue energy light frantically converged! Compressed! Rotated! Emitting a low, heart-pounding hum!
An indescribable aura of destruction! Like an ancient ferocious beast slowly awakening from slumber! Instantly enveloped the entire world! Even overshadowing the Zu Long Avatar's heaven-burning, sea-boiling dragon-vein blood flames!
“What is that?!” In the ruins below, the heavily injured Zhuang Han suddenly raised his head! His crimson beast pupils were filled with trembling and fear from the depths of his soul! He felt as if his blood was about to freeze! His soul was about to be frozen!
Ling Chen floated in mid-air! His Thunder Wings instantly retracted! His crimson pupils suddenly constricted to pinprick size! An unprecedented sense of fatal crisis! Like a cold venomous snake! Instantly coiled around his heart! The Soul Jade Physique's cold will frantically operated! Instantly calculating that the energy in the target area locked by the ship's cannon was escalating exponentially! Its peak value was enough to instantly evaporate a mountain range!
“Central Technology…” Ling Chen murmured in his heart, a hint of indescribable solemnity and dread appearing in the depths of his cold pupils for the first time! This was not an ability! Not a rule! But pure technology! Pure energy! Pure destruction!
“Roar!” The Zu Long Avatar also felt that fatal threat! His crimson vertical pupils suddenly turned towards the sky! Looking at the battleship, lit up like the eye of death! For the first time, his eyes revealed a hint of unbelievable astonishment and a hint of rage at being threatened by an ant!
“Ant! How dare you!”
He roared! The greatsword slashing towards Xuan Niao suddenly turned! Carrying even more violent dragon-vein blood flames! It fiercely slashed towards the “Ru Shou” battleship above the sky!
However!
It was too late!
“Guixu Annihilation Cannon fired.”
Xuan Niao's calm voice was like the final judgment!
Hum!
Time seemed to freeze at this moment!
Space seemed to stand still at this moment!
The next instant!
A light that cannot be described in words!
A pillar of light that was pure to the extreme! Blazing white to the extreme! Cold to the extreme! As if it could annihilate all matter! All energy! All meaning of existence! Like the creation spear that opened the heavens and earth! It erupted from the “Ru Shou” battleship's bow, from the burning white Xuan Niao emblem!
The light pillar instantly tore through the blood-moon-shrouded sky! Tore through the rolling, boiling blood mist! Tore through the dark-red void rift created by the Zu Long Avatar's slash! Tore through space! Tore through time! Tore through all existence that stood in its path!
Fast!
Beyond thought! Beyond the speed of light! Beyond the limits of all physical laws!
The moment your eyes captured that light!
It had already arrived!
Silent! Breathless! Waveless! Ripple-less!
Only an absolute annihilation!
Chh!
The light pillar precisely struck the Zu Long Avatar's black greatsword, which was burning with dragon-vein blood flames!
There was no earth-shattering explosion!
No world-destroying shockwave!
No annihilating light from energy collision!
Only a silent annihilation, like ice and snow melting in the scorching sun!
The dragon-vein blood flames of the black greatsword, which were capable of incinerating rules, instantly extinguished upon contact with the white light pillar, like a candle flame thrown into a black hole! Vanished! As if they had never existed!
The greatsword's body, which was neither metal nor jade and indestructible, instantly melted! Vaporized! Decomposed! Turning into the most primitive particle flow! Dissipating into the void! Like ice thrown into strong acid!
The light pillar continued without stopping! Like passing through a thin piece of paper! Instantly pierced through the Zu Long Avatar's massive body, covered in mercury dragon-patterned armor and infinitely close to the Hundred Forms Realm!
Puff!
Equally silent! Breathless!
The Zu Long Avatar's ferocious and violent crimson vertical pupils suddenly froze! His pupils were filled with unbelievable blankness! Astonishment! And a hint of bone-deep fear!
He slowly lowered his head!
A huge! Front-to-back transparent! Smooth-edged hole! Suddenly appeared in his chest!
There was no blood in the hole! No internal organs! No bones! No matter whatsoever! Only a pure void! As if that part of his body had been directly erased from the meaning of existence!
“Uh…” The Zu Long Avatar let out an extremely faint hiss from his throat, like a leak. His massive body trembled violently! The mercury dragon-patterned armor covering his entire body instantly became covered with spiderweb-like cracks, centered around the hole in his chest!
“Impossible…” The Zu Long Avatar's voice was hoarse and weak, filled with unwillingness and unbelievable despair! “I am the Zu Long, immortal for ten thousand generations…”
Hum!
The hole in his chest instantly expanded! Spread!
Like an invisible giant mouth! Frantically devouring his body! His dragon-vein power! His existence imprint!
“Roar!”
A roar filled with extreme pain and endless rage! Like a final, fading sound! It suddenly exploded! But was instantly swallowed and submerged by the continuously expanding void!
The Zu Long Avatar's massive body, like a pencil drawing erased by an eraser! Began to disintegrate inch by inch from the chest! Vaporizing! Turning into the most primitive particle flow! Dissipating into the cold void!
Finally, only a massive dragon-vein core, pulsating violently like a heart! Emitting a viscous dark-red light! Covered in ferocious dragon patterns! Remained suspended in mid-air!
But the surface of this dragon-vein core was also covered in spiderweb-like cracks! Its light was dim! As if it could completely shatter at any moment!
The Zu Long Avatar! Limit Breaking Stage Peak! The body of an emperor of all ages, condensed from the Li Mountain dragon veins! Was instantly annihilated by a single Guixu Annihilation Cannon from the Central Special Task Force's “Ru Shou” battleship! Leaving behind only a dragon-vein core on the verge of shattering!
However, Ling Chen knew that this was merely one ten-thousandth of the Zu Long's avatar. In his previous life, when he truly revived, it was truly earth-shaking, and all things wailed.
And Xuan Niao remained suspended in mid-air from beginning to end! His lead-gray Zhongshan suit was spotless! His eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses were calm and waveless! He didn't even move a finger!
The twelve “Silent Ones” behind him! Still floated like statues! Their pure white masks reflected cold white light!
The Central Special Task Force! With absolute overwhelming technological might! Declared to this post-apocalyptic wasteland who was the true master!
Hum!
The blazing white light of the “Ru Shou” battleship's bow Xuan Niao emblem slowly extinguished! The dark-blue energy shield relit! Like a cold behemoth closing its eyes!
Xuan Niao slowly raised his hand! The bronze compass in his palm emitted a soft green light!
“Rule: Containment.”
Hum!
A green light pillar shot out from the compass! Instantly enveloping the dragon-vein core, which was suspended in mid-air and on the verge of shattering!
The dragon-vein core trembled violently! Its dark-red light flickered madly! Trying to resist! Trying to break free!
But under the rule power of the bronze compass, it was like a tamed beast! Its light slowly dimmed! Finally, it was forcibly compressed! Turning into a fist-sized crystal, covered in dragon patterns and emitting a faint red light! Slowly falling into Xuan Niao's palm!
“The power of the dragon veins is endless.” Xuan Niao looked at the dragon-vein core in his palm, and his eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses flickered ever so slightly, as if he was calculating something.
He slowly raised his head! His gaze calmly swept over the dead silent ruins below! Swept over the heavily injured and dying Zhuang Han! Swept over Ling Chen, who was suspended in mid-air, his Thunder Wings retracted, and his expression solemn!
“Target: Li Mountain Dragon Vein anomaly source has been contained.”
“Threat level: Zero.”
“Mission complete.”
Xuan Niao's cold and calm voice, like the final judgment, clearly entered everyone's ears.
“Withdraw.”
Hum!
The figures of the twelve “Silent Ones” instantly turned into twelve white lights! Like tired birds returning to their nests! Instantly disappearing into the open hatch at the bottom of the “Ru Shou” battleship!
Xuan Niao's figure also slowly faded as if merging into the void! Disappearing! Leaving only a faint spatial ripple in place!
The massive hull of the “Ru Shou” battleship slowly changed direction! Dark-blue tail flames silently spewed forth! Turning into a cold streak of light! Instantly tearing through the blood-moon-shrouded sky! Disappearing deep within the thick radiation clouds!
From beginning to end!
The Central Special Task Force! Did not spare a glance for the remnants of the Panshi Fortress's defeated army! Did not pay attention to Ling Chen, this Bone Eater Realm variant! Did not care about this hellish ruin!
As if they had simply completed a routine cleanup mission! Like cleaning up an annoying bug!
Absolute indifference! Absolute disregard! Absolute superiority!
Leaving behind only a dead silent ruin! A ground littered with corpses! And a group of dazed survivors, as if their souls had been drained!
Ling Chen floated in mid-air! His crimson pupils stared intently in the direction where the “Ru Shou” battleship had disappeared!
His pupils flickered with an uncertain light.
The Guixu Annihilation Cannon! That all-annihilating white light! That absolute destructive power that disregarded defense! Disregarded rules! Disregarded the very meaning of existence! Was deeply imprinted in the depths of his soul!
“Technology… technology…” Ling Chen muttered to himself, his voice carrying an unprecedented solemnity and dread!
“So, in the previous life, Central's technology had already developed to this extent?! Pure energy! Pure destruction! Disregarding ranks! Disregarding rules! Even disregarding existence itself!”
He slowly lowered his head! Looking at his hands covered with bone spurs! Looking at the time-space silver foil in his palm, which emitted spatial fluctuations!
“The Soul Jade Physique, Bone Eater Realm, Thunder Wings, and reverse scale pendant are still like ants in the face of that power!”
A strong sense of crisis and an indescribable craving burned wildly in his heart like wildfire!
“I must become stronger! Much stronger! Surpass Limit Breaking Stage! Surpass Hundred Forms Realm! Even surpass rules! Otherwise, one day I will also be erased by a single cannon shot, just like that old dragon!”
He suddenly clenched the time-space silver foil in his hand! The cold battle intent in his crimson pupils erupted like a volcano!
“Central, wait for me! One day I will stand upon your battleship! Overlooking this wasteland!”
His Thunder Wings suddenly flapped! Turning into a dark-purple lightning flash! Instantly disappearing deep into the ruins! Leaving behind only a dead silent asura field!
