159: Chapter 159 Descending on the Ancient Star Sea Battlefield! Gods and Demons' Corpses Turn to Dust!
Edge of the Black Desolation Star Domain, unknown dimensional coordinates.
"Weng——"
In the deep, boundless vacuum of the Universe, a spatial rift one hundred thousand feet long opened like a slowly awakening dark purple giant eye.
The upgraded V2.0 version of the [nine-dragon annihilation class star destroyer], its entire body flowing with a dark black luster of chaotic annihilation, resembled a steel Leviathan swimming out of the abyss as it steadily passed through this spatial rift.
"Clack... Chiii——"
As the warship fully entered this brand-new Star Domain, the gravity regulation System in the main control room emitted a dull sound of protest, and the holographic radar screen was instantly filled with dense, deep-red high-risk warnings.
"Lord... we... have arrived..."
Standing before the holographic viewport, the Chen Family Old Ancestor's voice was actually trembling uncontrollably.
Not just him; within the entire main control room, including Su Qingyu and the Ancient Demon Emperor Ancient Demon Emperor Di Qing, all the Lower Realm Cultivators witnessing this sight for the first time felt as if their Souls were being tightly gripped by an invisible giant hand, and even their breathing came to a halt.
Grandeur.
An extreme sense of grandeur and desolation that made one feel less than a speck of dust.
What appeared before the eyes of the hundred-thousand-strong army was no longer a normal Universe with flowing nebulae and dense planets.
Instead, it was a vast expanse of eerie dark red, an ancient ruin that seemed to have been forcibly shattered by some supreme power transcending the Heavenly Dao—the Ancient Ruins!
Millions of kilometers directly ahead of the warship floated a severed arm.
Just a severed arm, yet its volume was actually dozens of times larger than the Black Abyss Main Star they had previously dismantled!
That severed arm was covered in mountain-like undulating green scales, each scale harboring residual Laws of Destruction sufficient to instantly turn a Void Returning Realm powerhouse into ashes.
Further in the depths of the starry sky lay a broken High-dimensional Great Wall several light-years long.
Countless stars, like scattered glass beads, were embedded within the cracks of this Great Wall.
This was the absolute Forbidden Ground in the deepest part of the Black Desolation Star Domain—the [Ancient Star Sea Battlefield]!
Legend has it that this was the site of a battle between the supreme gods at the center of the star sea and unspeakable entities from beyond the domains countless eons ago.
Here, even an Immortal Emperor wouldn't have the qualifications to be cannon fodder. Buried here were the purest Universe Origins and the most lethal high-dimensional pollution.
"So this is the true Great World..."
Lin Que sat atop his dark gold captain's throne, his blood-red cape draping down.
His heterochromatic eyes, which contained a two-hundred-thousand-mile Star Domain, quietly reflected those massive remains of gods and demons. There was no fear in the depths of his eyes, only a profound excitement. This was the stage he desired.
"Wooo————!!!"
Suddenly, an eerie wind, sounding like a crying infant yet also like the simultaneous howling of billions of lost Souls, penetrated the absolute vacuum without warning and slammed directly into the star destroyer's outer armor!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The warship's shields, recently reinforced with hundreds of millions of tons of Black Abyss Fine Iron, actually rippled violently like water under the blowing of this eerie wind, emitting the sound of cracking under an unbearable burden!
"Warning! High-dimensional environmental hazard detected—[nirvana star wind]!"
"Warning! Mental dimensional pollution detected—[Ancient God's Whispers]!"
"Ugh—!!"
Inside the warship, the hundred thousand Dragon Cavalry who had just broken through to the Nascent Soul and Soul Transformation Stage all clutched their heads and collapsed in pain the moment that eerie wind penetrated.
Their eyes instantly became bloodshot, and eerie black sprouts of flesh actually began to grow on the surface of their skin!
This was the indiscriminate dimensional reduction crushing of high-dimensional environments upon low-dimensional life!
The [nirvana star wind] scoured the Laws of the Physical Body,
While the [Ancient God's Whispers] polluted the Divine Soul and Sea of Consciousness.
If they resisted by force, within half an hour, this hundred-thousand-strong army would all mutate into mindless monsters of the ancient battlefield!
"The environment of this ghostly place... is simply more terrifying than that Furious War's axe..."
Su Qingyu bit her cracked lips hard, faint immortal blood flowing from her seven orifices as she desperately maintained her indestructible Sword Heart.
"A bit interesting."
Facing this harsh environment capable of wiping out a regular star sea fleet, Lin Que not only didn't order the warship to retreat but instead slowly stood up from his throne.
"This 'welcoming song' of the ancient battlefield is indeed potent enough."
Lin Que suddenly took a step forward!
Shua!
He directly passed through the warship's shields, standing alone and unprotected, proudly amidst the dark red starry sky of the ancient battlefield!
"Hu-hong——!!!"
Without the warship's shields to block it, the [nirvana star wind], capable of instantly stripping an Early Stage Void Returning Realm powerhouse to bone, swept toward Lin Que like countless invisible high-dimensional deboning knives!
"Want to blow apart my Physical Body?"
A wild, arrogant sneer curled at the corner of Lin Que's mouth, and he even spread his arms wide.
"Then I'll use you to take a bath!"
"Blood Scripture—Extreme Realm Furnace! Open!!!"
Boom————!!!!
Inside Lin Que's body, the forty-five-million-jin Dark Gold Demon God Body fully awakened!
Purple-gold blood and Qi, like materialized flames, burned fiercely on the surface of his body!
The nirvana star wind, which even True Immortals would avoid, instantly triggered his unreasonable passive—[Nirvana Hegemon Body]—the moment it scraped against Lin Que's body!
"Crackle... Crackle..."
The star wind and the Hegemon Body collided violently, erupting in blinding sparks!
And the Blood Scripture overbearingly transformed those shattered star wind Laws into the purest environmental high pressure, infiltrating bit by bit into Lin Que's bones and muscles!
Comfortable!
Perversely comfortable!
Lin Que had previously forcibly devoured an entire planet to Breakthrough to the Mid-stage Void Returning Star Domain Realm, his strength skyrocketing to forty-five million jin. Although his Realm had arrived, the density of his strength still required a harsh environment to be hammered into shape.
This nirvana star wind was simply the highest-grade 'forging hammer' in the entire Universe!
Under the hammering of the star wind, the dark gold luster on Lin Que's body became more and more restrained, and the pure physical pressure contained in his every move became increasingly thick and harmonious.
The crisis to his Physical Body was resolved.
But the mental-level attack had only just begun.
"Kill... destroy... devour... all things are void..."
Waves of ancient, evil [Ancient God's Whispers] ignored physical defense and directly followed the ethereal lines of Karma, venomously drilling into Lin Que's Sea of Consciousness!
They were like billions of black poisonous snakes, attempting to follow the Sea of Consciousness and drill directly into the two-hundred-thousand-mile starry sky inner heaven and earth within Lin Que's Dantian, wanting to completely pollute that newborn Star Domain into a dead land!
This was the most terrifying 'side effect' of the Ancient Star Sea Battlefield.
As long as you were here and breathed the Spiritual Qi here, you had to endure the erosion of the ancient gods' resentment.
"Want to pollute my inner heaven and earth?"
Lin Que closed his eyes, sensing those malicious resentments running wild in his Sea of Consciousness.
He didn't use Divine Sense to counter them, nor did he use the Blood Scripture to refine them.
Because some trash didn't even have the qualifications to be fertilizer.
The corners of Lin Que's deep mouth slowly curled into a dangerous, rogue-like grin.
"You all seem to have forgotten one thing."
"I, Lin Que, in my path of cultivation, never shoulder side effects myself."
Lin Que suddenly snapped his eyes open, his heterochromatic eyes erupting with two cold beams that pierced through the galaxy.
His massive Divine Sense, like a giant radar net, instantly swept across the asteroid belt for hundreds of thousands of kilometers around.
Thirty thousand kilometers to the left of the warship, within the shadow of a massive god-demon skull,
Lurked a massive, tentacled native ancient battlefield monster with an aura reaching the Half-step Late Stage Void Returning Realm—a [Void Corpse Eater Beast]!
It was drooling disgusting saliva, greedily staring at the struggling star destroyer, waiting for the shields to break so it could rush up for a feast.
"Found you, cutie."
Lin Que looked at that monster hiding in the dark ready to scavenge, and in his mind, he crisply rang that long-dormant System.
"System."
"Restart highest authority commands."
"Take all these 'Ancient God Mental Pollution' side effects buzzing in my head, as well as the 'Star Wind Tearing' side effects the warship is enduring..."
"Package them all up and precision-airdrop them to that tentacled ugly freak."
[Ding! System is restarting...]
[Highest authority confirmed! 'side effect transfer system' has been fully activated and adapted to the current high-dimensional environment!]
[Environmental passive debuffs detected: Extreme Mental Pollution (Ancient God's Whispers), Physical Tearing (nirvana star wind).]
[Transfer target locked: Ancient battlefield native creature (Void Corpse Eater Beast).]
[Logic reconstruction complete! Karma lines have been forcibly grafted!]
[Transfer, begin!!]
Weng————!!!
At the moment the notification sound finished in Lin Que's mind!
The Ancient God's Whispers that were originally drilling frantically into Lin Que's Sea of Consciousness and causing the hundred thousand troops agonizing pain suddenly came to a screeching halt!
It was as if an invisible hand from an even higher dimension had brutally yanked them out from the depths of their Souls!
Not only that.
Even the violent nirvana star wind outside the warship seemed to suddenly lose its target, eerily diverting around Lin Que and the star destroyer.
And within that massive skull shadow thirty thousand kilometers away,
That Half-step Late Stage Void Returning [Void Corpse Eater Beast] that was preparing to reap the benefits...
In its hundreds of giant compound eyes, a terrified, blood-colored light distorted to the extreme suddenly erupted simultaneously!
"Roar-awooooooo-aaaaah————!!!!"
A shrill scream to the extreme shattered the surrounding void.
This native giant beast had no idea what had happened!
It suddenly felt as if all the 'Ancient God Resentment' and 'nirvana star wind' within a hundred thousand miles of this Ancient Star Sea Battlefield had found a precise floodgate and, following an unspeakable line of Karma, were all savagely stuffed into its brain and Physical Body!!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Its void body, which was strong enough to withstand star-destroying cannons, began to swell uncontrollably and violently. Its tentacles, under the cutting of the star wind and extreme mental distortion, began to frantically lash itself!
Lin Que stood in the void, leisurely stretching his neck, watching that massive monster thirty thousand kilometers away going mad and frantically self-mutilating.
He turned his head and, looking at the hundred thousand troops in the main control room who had just regained consciousness and were full of confusion, gave a lazy snap of his fingers:
"Brothers, environment adaptation complete."
"Now, charge the warship's main cannons."
"Aim at that tentacle monster dancing for us."
"Fire. Let's go hunting."
