230: The fate of traitors

"Roar!!!"

A roar filled with shock, fury, and pain erupted from the center of the explosion!

A disheveled figure shot into the sky, covered in shattered ice armor, blood trickling from his lips, and his aura in disarray. It was Fan Tianjue, the current patriarch of the Fan Family, a Transcendent-level pinnacle expert who had hidden his true strength!

Although he had narrowly avoided the Xenomorph Queen's attack at the crucial moment, the mere aftershocks and the impact of the collapsing tower had left him severely injured!

"Who's there?!!! How dare you ambush the Fan Family!"

Fan Tianjue stared intently at the demon-god-like figure below, his eyes filled with venom, fear, and a hint of disbelief.

"Fan Tianjue, it's time to settle the score for the Zu Long Secret Realm."

Lin Feng's voice was calm, yet it sounded like a declaration from the God of Death.

He slowly raised his hand, pointing at Fan Tianjue in the sky.

At the same time, the Alien Queen behind him locked onto her target with her cold compound eyes.

The aura of destruction, like a tangible tide, firmly locked onto Fan Tianjue.

From deep within the Queen's throat, a low, destructive hiss sounded once more, and dark purple light began to re-condense.

"Traitors shall be executed."

Lin Feng's voice was not loud, yet it clearly pierced through the spatial barrier, like a cold hammer of judgment striking the hearts of every surviving member of the Fan Family.

Before Lin Feng's words had even finished, the space beside him rippled silently, like water disturbed by a thrown stone.

The Alien Queen moved.

She merely raised her right hand, covered in dark golden armor, casually.

Buzz!

An invisible wave of destruction, vibrating at a high frequency, instantly spread out from her raised fingertip!

The shock and fury on Fan Tianjue's face were instantly replaced by utterly incredulous horror!

The Xenomorph Queen's casual strike had already exceeded his comprehension! He had no chance of resisting at all!

"How is this possible?!"

With shock and dismay, Fan Tianjue's soul nearly fled his body. In this life-or-death moment, he unleashed his full potential, and an earthy yellow light wildly converged, concentrating the Power of Rule for defense in front of him.

At the same time, his fists, imbued with immense power and flashing with runes, sought to shatter the approaching ripples.

The moment they made contact, a dual Power of Rule, containing both absolute zero and a molten core, like invisible shackles, instantly wrapped around Fan Tianjue's fists.

"Crack! Hiss!"

Piercing sounds of freezing and vaporization simultaneously erupted!

Fan Tianjue's fists, strong enough to shatter adamantine, along with the earthy Power of Rule condensed upon them, were first covered in a layer of eerie blue ice. Immediately after, a molten, fiery red burst forth from within the ice!

Fan Tianjue let out a bloodcurdling shriek, inhuman in its intensity. His arms, caught in the intertwining light of ice and fire, began to rapidly melt and disintegrate from the fists up, like candles thrown into strong acid!

Skin, muscle, bone, and even the Power of Rule contained within them, all turned into void dust in the conflict!

The pain was excruciating, but what made him even more desperate was a cold, tyrannical, and highly corrosive poisonous Power of Rule, which was frantically surging into his meridians and soul from the severed stumps of his arms!

"Ugh ah!"

Fan Tianjue's screams abruptly cut off, as if his throat had been choked.

His body convulsed violently, his skin instantly turning a deathly gray, his eyes bulging and bloodshot, and the energy within him surged uncontrollably like boiling water. His powerful Transcendent-level vitality rapidly drained away under the dual erosion of poison and destruction.

The outcome was beyond doubt.

In the Alien Queen's cold vertical pupils, the will of destruction remained undisturbed.

Fan Tianjue frantically channeled his last remaining strength to protect his heart, attempting to shield it with his final power.

But! Everything he did was in vain.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Silent annihilation.

Fan Tianjue's body, along with all the remaining energy and soul imprints within him, instantly collapsed inward and disintegrated under the intertwining Power of Rule of ice and fire and the cold, deadly poison!

In the blink of an eye, his entire body transformed into a few drops of viscous, dark green poisonous blood splattered onto the glazed tiles below.

An Epic-level patriarch, Fan Tianjue, was utterly annihilated, body and soul!

Before the blood rain could dissipate, an unexpected change occurred!

The moment Fan Tianjue was completely annihilated, an indescribable, terrifying pressure, as if originating from the primordial universe, descended without warning over the Fan Family's ancestral grounds!

This pressure was far beyond Epic-level, even faintly touching a higher-dimensional threshold that Lin Feng could not comprehend!

It was not a tangible energy impact, but a pure suppression of status, like an ant gazing up at the sky, causing Lin Feng's soul to tremble!

Buzz!

Above the entire Demon City, the weather suddenly changed!

Thick leaden clouds, as if stirred by an invisible giant hand, spun wildly, forming a massive vortex that covered nearly half the city.

At the center of the vortex, space cracked and peeled away inch by inch like fragile glass, revealing the deep, cold, lifeless dark void behind it.

A massive eyeball slowly "squeezed" out of that spatial rift!

The eyeball was unimaginably huge, almost occupying the entire center of the vortex. Its cold pupils, like two dark red stars burning with chaotic fire, indifferently gazed down at the tiny Fan Family ancestral grounds below, and... the Alien Queen who had just completed her slaughter!

The surface of the eyeball was not flesh and blood, but flowed with countless indescribable runes and geometric lines, as if twisted from the very essence of Power of Rule. They constantly shifted and reassembled, exuding a chaotic and ancient aura that froze the soul.

Merely observing it was enough to cause beings below Transcendent-level to suffer mental collapse, turning them into ignorant, senseless husks.

Lin Feng's entire body instantly tensed, like a bowstring drawn to its limit!

His knuckles turned white from the force, a massive warning originating from life's instinct, facing an incomprehensibly higher existence!

The chaotic Power of Rule within him vibrated wildly, emitting an unprecedentedly sharp hum!

The Alien Queen also suddenly raised her head, a rare look of solemnity appearing in her vertical pupils. The ice and fire vortex flowing over her body suddenly accelerated, and her destructive aura reached its peak, standing ready for battle.

"Is the Fan Family not backed by Western forces, but by an otherworldly sovereign like the Holy See?"

Lin Feng murmured with difficulty. Although his voice was not loud, Alicia behind him heard it clearly.

At this moment, she too was staring intently at the giant eye that had suddenly appeared in the sky, a wave of disgust rising within her.

Before Lin Feng could make any other move, Alicia had already raised her hand and clutched the pendant hanging from her chest. A soft Power of Holy Light instantly enveloped Lin Feng, the Xenomorph Queen, and all the Metal Knights.

Under the protection of the Holy Light, Lin Feng could still clearly "perceive" the space around the eyeball, as if it contained countless forces that formed the foundation of the world, beyond the domain of Power of Rule!

This was by no means a realm that ordinary Epic-level beings could touch!

However, the expected world-destroying attack did not arrive.

The giant eyeball, flowing with deeper power, merely lingered its cold gaze on Alicia for a slightly longer moment. Then, its gaze swept over the ruined Fan Family stronghold below.
