130: Chapter 130 Interdimensional Space Storm
The extreme south of the Central Continent, beneath the shattered void black hole.
"Charge... charge into the Upper Realm?!"
When Lin Que's wild and domineering voice exploded in the ears of the hundred-thousand-strong army, even these iron-blooded men who had died countless times in the Asura Illusionary Realm felt their scalps go numb.
Since ancient times, there had only been Upper Realm Immortals descending to the Mortal world to harvest; when had there ever been Lower Realm Mortals raising their blades to charge back at them?
It was like a flock of sheep that, instead of hiding from wolves, clamored to rush into the wolf's den to eat roasted wolf legs!
"Lord... Lord, please reconsider!!"
Ancient Demon Emperor Di Qing, the Ancient Demon Emperor chained to the front of the flagship, was so terrified that his dragon whiskers curled up, and his massive body trembled in mid-air.
"That inter-world passage is extremely unstable, filled with 'Ancient Spatial Turbulence' and 'Dimensional Storms' that can tear all things apart! Even with this old slave's Middle Stage Soul Transformation Physical Body, I would lose a layer of skin if I forced my way through without a token from an Upper Realm Guiding Envoy! If this hundred-thousand-strong army enters, they will likely be ground into a mist of blood in an instant!"
Ancient Demon Emperor Di Qing's words were not alarmist.
Crossing the barriers of world dimensions was inherently a Heaven-Defying act; it was a death zone where even True Immortals of the Void Returning Realm had to be cautious.
"Indeed, Lord. We are willing to follow you to our deaths, but if the army is lost in the passage before even touching the soil of the Upper Realm, it would truly be unworthy!"
The Chen Family Old Ancestor also knelt on one knee with a worried expression.
"Lost in the passage?"
Standing at the bow of the flagship, Lin Que looked at the deep black crack that seemed ready to swallow everything, a highly confident curve hooking the corner of his mouth.
He slowly turned around and spread his arms.
"If it were a month ago, I might have considered how many people to take."
"But now, the Heavenly Dao cannot take my soldiers, and that spatial turbulence certainly cannot grind them to dust!"
Buzz—!!!!
With a low shout from Lin Que, the ten-thousand-mile inner heaven and earth within him roared into operation!
The hundred-zhang-tall world tree sapling emitted a dazzling clear radiance, its four Law leaves swaying wildly.
Immediately after.
A massive spherical light screen, deep blue and covered with a layer of Chaos currents, centered on Lin Que's flagship and expanded violently like a balloon being blown up!
This light screen was the Absolute Defense Barrier—a Fusion of the Immortal Artifact, the Luotian Soul Refining Net, and the barrier of Lin Que's inner heaven and earth!
In less than three breaths.
This thousand-zhang-thick deep blue light screen completely enveloped the three hundred sky-covering warships and the hundred thousand heavy dragon cavalry below!
Inside the light screen, it was calm and peaceful with abundant Spiritual Qi, like a paradise independent of the Central Continent.
Outside the light screen, the Great Perfection of Spirit Transformation Primordial Spirit pressure belonging to Lin Que perfectly intertwined with twenty million catties of physical extreme blood-qi, making it so that the surrounding void didn't even have the right to approach!
"This... what kind of great power is this! The Lord can actually protect a hundred thousand soldiers and three hundred warships with his own strength?!"
Su Qingyu covered her red lips, her beautiful eyes filled with nothing but deep infatuation alongside the shock.
"Ancient Demon Emperor Di Qing."
Lin Que lowered his arms, his gaze instantly becoming as cold and sharp as a blade.
"Pull the carriage!"
"This old slave... obeys!!"
Feeling the invincible light screen that also enveloped him, the fear in Ancient Demon Emperor Di Qing's heart was finally replaced by fanaticism.
He let out a dragon roar that shook the Nine Heavens, his four massive dragon claws kicking out violently in mid-air!
Rumble!!
Under the pull of the Ancient Demon Emperor, the three hundred profound black warships—like a peerless sharp sword piercing through the darkness—trailed long deep blue exhaust flames and plunged without hesitation into the ten-thousand-mile-wide inter-world black hole!
...
Inside the inter-world passage, amidst the endless spatial turbulence.
There was no up, down, left, or right here, no alternation of light and shadow—only pure darkness and crazily raging spatial storms.
Every pitch-black spatial blade that swept by was enough to cut a top-grade Magic Treasure in half.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Countless spatial blades slashed fiercely against the inner heaven and earth light screen Lin Que held up, producing deafening muffled thuds. But that light screen, fused with the foundation of an Immortal Artifact, only rippled slightly, perfectly isolating all the grinding force.
"The Lord is mighty!!"
Looking at the terrifying apocalyptic scenes outside the light screen, the hundred-thousand-strong army's worship of Lin Que had reached an unsurpassable level.
However, just as the fleet reached about halfway through the passage.
Ahead in the passage, an extremely piercing purple-gold Immortal light filled with the Law of Destruction suddenly lit up!
"Not good!! Lord, it's the Upper Realm garrison playing tricks!!"
Ancient Demon Emperor Di Qing's dragon eyes widened as he roared in terror:
"They discovered our reverse invasion and actually detonated the Nine Heavens Silent Annihilation Divine Thunder Array at the passage exit! This explosion will cause a chain collapse of the spatial passage! They want to bury us and this section of the passage alive in the void!!"
The Upper Realm garrison was indeed ruthless enough.
After seeing the vanguard army completely wiped out, they didn't hesitate to blow up the passage exit!
This was equivalent to trapping Lin Que's army in an elevator and then cutting the elevator cables!
Rumble—!!!
A "Dimensional Collapse Storm," ten thousand times more violent than ordinary spatial turbulence, turned into a bottomless maw that swallowed everything and pounced toward the fleet!
Under this chain collapse, comparable to a full-force strike from a True Immortal of the Void Returning Realm, the deep blue light screen Lin Que held up finally emitted an overburdened "crackling" sound of fracturing.
"It's over... the passage is collapsing, there's no way back..."
The thirty-six Old Ancestors looked as pale as death.
"Retreat? Who said I'm retreating?"
Standing on the violently shaking bow, Lin Que tightly gripped the hilt of the quasi-Immortal Artifact - starfall behind his back.
His heterochromatic eyes stared fixedly at the oncoming Dimensional Collapse Storm. Instead of fear, a highly excited, wild laugh hooked the corner of his mouth.
"System, wake up."
"Someone thinks our ship is moving too slowly and lit a big firecracker behind our asses."
[Warning! Detected extremely high-dimensional spatial collapse storm (Dimensional Annihilation Level)!]
[Analysis: The enemy detonated the passage, attempting to use spatial compression and Law disorder to completely crush the Host's fleet!]
[Logic Reorganization Initiated—'Panoramic Sunroof and Premium Push-Back' Mode!]
[Operation 1: Forced tampering of spatial logic! Modifying 'compression from all sides' to 'unidirectional rear exhaust pipe airflow'!]
[Operation 2: Concept conversion! Forcibly judging 'lethal spatial turbulence' as 'top-tier spatial leap nitrogen (NOS)'!]
[Operation 3: Activate engine boost! Utilizing the shockwave from the enemy's array explosion to perform a 'faster-than-light physical ejection' for the Host's fleet!]
"Thanks to the Upper Realm brothers for the super nitrogen boost! Sit tight, we're taking off!"
Buzz—!!!!
At the very moment the System reversed the logic!
The terrifying spatial storm that was originally going to crush the fleet strangely stopped its tearing the moment it touched the deep blue light screen.
Immediately after, all the storm and collapse forces were forcibly kneaded together as if by a pair of invisible giant hands, all concentrating directly behind the three hundred warships!
Sizzle sizzle—Boom!!!
Accompanied by a terrifying sonic boom that defied description.
That explosive impact force, enough to destroy stars, turned into an unparalleled driving force that kicked the fleet squarely in the rear!
"Awoooo!!!"
Ancient Demon Emperor Di Qing, pulling at the very front, only felt a push-back force from behind that threatened to break his dragon bones. His massive body was actually pushed forward at a wild speed by the warships, the dragon ropes pulling them instantly snapping taut!
"Aaaaaah!!"
The hundred-thousand-strong army was pinned to the deck by this sudden, terrifying acceleration, unable even to lift their heads.
It was too fast! So fast that even time seemed to stagnate!
With the "enthusiastic boost" from the enemy, the three hundred warships turned into a streak of light, forcibly smashing a brutal spatial corridor through the collapsing inter-world passage!
And Lin Que, standing at the bow.
In this faster-than-light ejection, the world tree sapling inside him crazily absorbed the extremely dense spatial Law fragments around them.
That gray leaf representing "Space" reached Major Achievement at this moment, emitting a dazzling silver-gray light!
Boom!
Lin Que's Great Accomplishment Demon God Body underwent another spatial tempering, a sharp glint that looked down upon the ages flashing in his eyes.
"The exit is just ahead!"
Lin Que looked at the Upper Realm barrier at the end of his vision, which was covered in cracks and emitting Immortal Dao light.
He did not slow down.
Instead, he held the quasi-Immortal Artifact - starfall high with both hands, gathering twenty million catties of physical extreme strength and the foundation of the four Law leaves of his inner heaven and earth all onto the blade's edge!
"Since you've welded the door shut..."
"Then I'll just break through the wall!!!"
"Seven Absolute Blades Highest Profound Truth—World Breaker!!!"
Swish—!!!
A peerless blade light, merging seven colors—purple, white, red, gold, gray, silver, and dark yellow—followed the fleet's terrifying acceleration and slashed fiercely against the Upper Realm barrier!
Crack... Bang————!!!!!
...
Upper Realm, Nine Heavens Beyond Heaven, Guiding Heavenly Gate Square.
A hundred thousand gold-armored Upper Realm Immortal soldiers were waiting in full battle array, having set up an inescapable net.
At the very front of the army formation, three commanders, each radiating the pressure of a True Immortal of the Void Returning Realm, looked coldly at the violently collapsing inter-world passage ahead.
"Heh, the passage has completely collapsed. Those ants from the Lower Realm who don't know the height of the heavens probably don't even have dust left of them by now."
One True Immortal commander stroked his beard and sneered.
However, just as his voice fell.
Rumble rumble rumble!!!
From the ruins of the passage that was about to close, a terrifying blade light that made their very Souls tremble suddenly erupted!
The indestructible Guiding Heavenly Gate was actually split in two from the middle under this single strike, as if it were made of paper!
"What?!! This is impossible!!"
The sneers on the three True Immortal commanders' faces instantly froze, and they retreated several hundred zhang in fright.
Immediately after.
Accompanied by an ancient dragon roar that shattered the firmament!
A five-thousand-zhang-long Void Blood Dragon pulled a massive Nine Dragon Flagship, leading exactly three hundred murderous black warships behind it.
In a "launch start" posture that completely defied the common sense of the cultivation world, they brutally and crudely smashed through the ruins of the Heavenly Gate, crashing into the center of the Upper Realm's main camp like a swarm of meteors!
Bang—!!!
The terrifying shockwave instantly crushed over ten thousand Immortal soldiers who couldn't dodge in time into meat paste!
Amidst the spray of Immortal blood and rising dust.
Lin Que, holding his black blade, slowly floated down from the bow of the flagship in his white robes.
He stepped on the chest of a half-dead Immortal general, raised his head, and looked around at the hundreds of thousands of Upper Realm soldiers who were scared witless.
He took a deep breath of the dense Immortal Qi of the Upper Realm, his voice—extremely lazy yet arrogant to the bone—echoing throughout the Nine Heavens:
"Who was it that just blew up this door?"
"The push-back was pretty good. For this fare, how many of your heads do you plan to use to settle the bill?"
