150: Chapter 150 Space Lockdown

Black Desolation Star Domain, Black Market Star, Lower City abandoned industrial zone.

Leaving the bustling and noisy main city, Lin Que led the Chen Family Old Ancestor and the other two, deliberately turning into a metallic ruin where even the holographic neon lights could not reach.

This was once the earliest spaceship dismantling plant on the Black Market Star.

Huge steel skeletons lay crisscrossed on the ground like the carcasses of dead ancient giant beasts, and the pungent smell of heavy metal oxidation filled the surroundings.

There were no pedestrians, no patrols, only abandoned psionic pipes occasionally flickering with short-circuit sparks, making eerie "zizila" sounds.

"Clack, clack..."

Lin Que walked leisurely in front, his black boots stepping on the oil-slicked metal deck, the sound echoing in the empty ruins, sounding particularly piercing.

"Master, the spatial fluctuations around us are starting to become viscous."

Su Qingyu gripped the sword in her hand; her Innate Dao Body's perception of danger was keen to the extreme.

From the moment they stepped into these ruins, she felt as if an invisible giant net was tightly wrapping around the four of them.

"Holding it in all the way, are they finally willing to close the net?"

Lin Que stopped and stretched casually. His deep heterochromatic eyes looked toward the bottomless darkness ahead with great interest.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Suddenly, a burst of abrupt mechanical clapping came from the highest point of the ruins.

"As expected of a big shot who can hold a [Star Sea Myriad Realms Chamber of Commerce] Black Gold Supreme Card. Knowing there was an ambush, you actually dared to take the initiative to walk into this land of death. This seat admires such courage."

Accompanying this hoarse voice was an endless scent of blood.

"Buzz—!!"

Around the ruins, a thousand piercing crimson light beams suddenly lit up!

A thousand Interstellar Pirate Mechs, each thirty meters tall, painted entirely blood-red and equipped with high-dimensional psionic heavy cannons, surrounded Lin Que's group of four like evil ghosts crawling out of Hell!

And on a huge steel crossbeam directly in front...

A burly man, most of whose body had been modified into dark silver machinery, leaving only a half-human, half-mechanical head covered in scars, looked down at Lin Que from above.

From within this man's body, an Aura even more terrifying than that of the previous Immortal Emperor erupted—the pressure of the **[Void Return Star Domain Realm Middle Stage]**!

The Black Market Star's greatest local tyrant, the grand chief of the Blood Skull Pirate Group—Blood Skull!

"Hand over your Black Gold VIP Card and all the secrets you're hiding on your person."

Blood Skull's red-glowing mechanical prosthetic eye locked onto Lin Que, his tone carrying an unquestionable greed and cruelty:

"Yuna said you crushed an Oblivion Star Core fragment without even using mana. Although this seat doesn't know what kind of trickery you used, in the face of absolute Realm suppression, put away your act of playing tricks."

"Boom!"

As Blood Skull's voice fell, he suddenly slapped a High-Dimensional Formation Plate at his waist.

"High-Dimensional Formation — [Absolute Zero Spatial Deadlock]! Activate!!"

In an instant!

A huge hemispherical light barrier, translucent ghostly blue and formed by the combination of countless complex Star Sea Codes and cultivation Formation runes, completely enveloped the ruins within a five-mile radius!

Within this barrier, all spatial warping, distress signals, and even the most basic flow of Spiritual Qi were forcibly frozen into a state of "absolute zero"!

"Hahahaha! Kid, now even if you grew wings, you wouldn't be able to fly out!"

Blood Skull laughed arrogantly:

"This is a military-grade Formation that this seat spent thirty million star sea coin to buy! In this space, your Divine Sense cannot travel even half an inch! Even if this seat cuts you into pieces inch by inch, the outside world will never hear a single sound!!"

"Cut us into pieces? With just you and these pieces of scrap metal?!"

Ancient Demon Emperor Di Qing (Ancient Demon Emperor) could no longer endure it. Although his cultivation was suppressed, how could the temper of an ancient Vicious Beast take such an insult? He was about to reveal his original form and fight to the death on the spot.

"Step back."

Lin Que calmly raised a hand, stopping the about-to-erupt Ancient Demon Emperor Di Qing.

Not only did he not feel panicked by being trapped by the "Spatial Deadlock," but in his heterochromatic eyes, a pure fanaticism, even carrying a hint of "gratitude," emerged.

He was just worried that if he killed this pirate chief later, the commotion would be too big and attract the attention of the Star Sea Patrol, exposing his army of one hundred thousand Dragon Cavalry who were developing within his inner heaven and earth.

As it turned out, this idiot had thoughtfully spent a fortune to build an isolated barrier for him?

"These days, there really aren't many local tyrants as sensible as you."

Lin Que lowered his head, looking at the ghostly blue Formation light beneath his feet.

He skillfully tapped the System's keyboard in his mind.

"System, stop sleeping. Someone spent thirty million to build a private box for me; go ahead and inspect it."

"The requirements aren't high; just don't let the screams from later get out."

[Warning! High-Dimensional Spatial Lockdown Matrix (Absolute Zero Spatial Deadlock) detected!]

[Analysis: The enemy attempts to forcibly strip this area from the physical dimension of the Black Market Star to perform a trace-less elimination.]

[Logic reorganization initiated — 'Highest Grade Shockproof Soundproof Engineering and Private VIP Fighting Cage' mode!]

[Operation 1: Forcibly hacking into the enemy's Formation Plate! Stripping supreme control!]

[Operation 2: Conceptual Tampering! Forcibly rewriting the 'Lethal Spatial Freezing' Law into a 'High-Elasticity Anti-Riot Shock-Absorbing Inner Wall'!]

[Operation 3: Activating 'Silence Shielding' protocol! Ensuring that no matter what level of physical explosion occurs within the fighting cage, the external decibels will always remain at zero!]

["Ding! Your private Platinum Grade Octagon Cage has been constructed! The door has been welded shut by the System. Host, please enjoy this unbridled hunt to your heart's content!"]

Buzz————!!!

Under the System's rogue tampering, the ghostly blue light barrier covering the five-mile radius flickered imperceptibly and then completely vanished into nothingness.

Blood Skull had no idea that the cage he used for trapping the prey had already changed hands, including the key!

"Are your last words finished?"

Seeing Lin Que with his head down and not speaking, Blood Skull thought the other party was scared witless. He sneered and leapt down from the steel crossbeam.

"Since you won't hand it over voluntarily, this seat will take it personally!"

"Die!! Star Sea Combat Technique — [Blood Fiend Plasma Sky-Rending Slash]!!!"

While Blood Skull was in mid-air, a crimson light blade thirty meters long, entwined with the terrifying Law of the Void Return Star Domain Realm Middle Stage and plasma high temperatures, suddenly sprang from his purely mechanical right arm!

He did not hold back at all; even a lion uses its full strength to catch a rabbit! This strike was enough to split a small asteroid in half!

"Master, be careful!!"

The Chen Family Old Ancestor felt the destructive Law coming right at him, and his heart nearly stopped from fear.

However...

Facing the full-strength blow of a powerhouse of the same level...

Lin Que stood on the spot, his hands still leisurely tucked in the pockets of his black robe. He didn't even draw the **[true immortal artifact: world meteor]**!

He only slowly raised his head, and in his deep eyes, the purple-gold light of the Blood Scripture converged to the extreme in an instant!

The supreme passive he had just awakened by devouring the Oblivion Star Core — [Nirvana Hegemon Body] — completely revived at this moment!

"Arrogant fool! Not even dodging? Then turn into ashes for this seat!!!"

Seeing this, Blood Skull was overjoyed. The crimson light blade, carrying an Aura that could tear through everything, slashed ruthlessly onto Lin Que's neck!

"Clang————!!!!!"

A deafening sound of metal clashing, as if two meteorites had collided in space, boomed within the System's soundproof fighting cage!

There was no flesh flying.

No head separated from the body.

In Blood Skull's mechanical red eye, which was filled with extreme horror...

His plasma sky-rending light blade, which was enough to shatter a Medium Grade Immortal Artifact, had actually struck Lin Que's neck as if it had hit the hardest indescribable object in the entire Universe when it made contact with that layer of dull dark-gold skin!

Not even a white mark was left behind!

Immediately following that!

The [Nirvana Hegemon Body]'s unreasonable "absolute physical defense and Law damage reflection" followed the light blade like a magnitude twelve tsunami, surging backward!

"Crack!!!"

The plasma light blade in Blood Skull's hand shattered inch by inch!

"Pfft-agh!!!"

That terrifying force of the counter-shock directly shattered Blood Skull's mechanical right arm—which had been forged with countless Star Sea Secret Gold—into a flurry of flying parts and scrap metal!

His entire person felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward like a broken sack!

"This... how the Hell is this possible?!!"

The drivers of the thousand pirate mechs around them, who were prepared to watch a good show, all lost their voices in collective terror at this moment!

Standing still and tanking a slash from the Middle Stage Void Returning Realm boss with his neck? And even shattering the boss's mechanical arm?!

What level of Physical Body was this?!

Is this a damn humanoid neutron star?!

"Is the strength of a Void Return Star Domain Realm Middle Stage only at this level?"

Lin Que still stood on the spot, casually tilting his neck.

He looked at Blood Skull, who had crashed into the ruins dozens of meters away and was filled with horror, and the corners of his mouth finally curled into a cruel arc.

"Since you're finished with your slash..."

"Now, it's my turn."

Boom—!!!!

The metal deck beneath Lin Que's feet was instantly stepped into a bottomless black hole by him!

There were no light and shadow effects of Spells, only pure Dark Gold Extreme Realm Colossal Strength that had exploded to 35 million jin!

Lin Que's figure directly tore through the air, leaving a vacuum afterimage on the spot that the naked eye could not capture.

"Quick! Fire!! Cover me!!!"

Blood Skull was scared out of his wits. He finally understood what kind of monster he had provoked and frantically roared orders for the mech group to shoot.

"Swish swish swish swish!"

A thousand high-energy psionic artillery shells instantly covered the area where Lin Que was!

But it was useless!

Lin Que didn't even open his inner heaven and earth. He just braved the dense cannon fire, letting those energy beams—which were enough to shatter mountains—smash into his [Nirvana Hegemon Body] and then dissipate into faint sparks.

In less than a tenth of a second!

Lin Que had crossed the distance of space, appearing abruptly in front of the just-risen Blood Skull like an insurmountable Ancient Divine Mountain!

"You..."

Blood Skull only had time to utter a single word.

Lin Que's dark-gold-glowing right hand had already roughly and decisively grabbed his half-mechanical head!

"Kneel... down properly!!!"

"Bang—!!!!!"

35 million jin of extreme violence, combined with the downward suppression of the Blood Scripture!

Lin Que held Blood Skull's head with one hand and savagely smashed it into the hard metal ground!

"Boom!!!"

The earth cracked frantically!

That pirate grand chief who stood high above and ruled the Black Market Star's underground world for hundreds of years was smashed by Lin Que's press. His bones and mechanical prosthetic body simultaneously made miserable crushing sounds as he was embedded into the deep pit like a puddle of mud, unable to move even a single finger!

The entire scene was deathly silent.

A thousand pirate mechs stood dazed on the spot; even the faint smoke coming from their gun barrels seemed so ridiculous.

Lin Que had one hand in his black robe pocket, while his other foot lazily stepped on the remaining half of Blood Skull's mechanical face.

He didn't even bother to wipe the blood splattered on the corner of his clothes.

He raised his head, his heterochromatic eyes surveying the group of terrified pirates.

That lazy, cold, yet extremely mad voice slowly echoed within this "private fighting cage" that had been welded shut by the System:

"I quite like this soundproof Formation your boss spent thirty million to set up."

"Since no sound can be heard outside, we won't be polite."

Lin Que turned his head and snapped his fingers at the Chen Family Old Ancestor and Ancient Demon Emperor Di Qing behind him.

"The cost of living on this Black Market Star is too high, and our wallets happen to be empty."

"Old Chen, Green Fish."

"Get ready to work... completely take over the assets of these 'kind-hearted people'. Don't even let a single damn screw on their mechs go."
