170: Chapter 170: A staggering 100 million jin of oppressive force! Divine Bone Shield? Reflect it back!
Ancient Star Sea Battlefield,
Inside the main control room of the Nine-Dragon Annihilation Class Star Destroyer V2.0.
"Buzz—"
Accompanied by a slight ripple in space, Lin Que's figure, clad in white with a bright red cloak, landed steadily on the dark-gold bridge.
"Welcome back in triumph, My Lord!!!"
The Chen Family Old Ancestor, Su Qingyu, and the Ancient Demon Emperor Ancient Demon Emperor Di Qing, who had been waiting in the main control room, immediately knelt on one knee in excitement, their eyes filled with fanatical awe.
Just now, they had clearly seen that grand, cosmic-level massacre outside—one punch destroying over a hundred interstellar warships and devouring the blood qi of a million-strong army—through the warship's radar light screen.
It was an extreme aesthetic of violence that completely transcended the cognition of the Lower Realm and even surpassed the common sense of the star sea!
"Rise, everyone. We are brothers; there's no need to be so formal."
Lin Que smiled lazily, clearly in an excellent mood.
He stepped forward and habitually extended his right hand, wanting to pat the Chen Family Old Ancestor on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.
However.
The moment Lin Que's palm was about to touch the Chen Family Old Ancestor.
"Crack, crack—"
The space around the Chen Family Old Ancestor actually emitted an eerie wail, like glass shattering!
His protective True Yuan of the Great Perfection of Spirit Transformation instantly buckled like paper before the physical wind pressure of Lin Que's downward-pressing palm!
"My... My Lord, spare me!! This old servant's bones are about to break!!"
The Chen Family Old Ancestor's face turned pale with fright. He was pinned ruthlessly to the deck by this terrifying, invisible heavy pressure, unable to even catch his breath.
"Hmm?"
Lin Que's eyebrows twitched slightly, and his right hand came to a precise halt half an inch away from Old Chen's shoulder.
"Hiss... I just reached the extreme Realm of 100 million pounds, and my body's physical density is too high. I haven't fully adapted to this 'gentle' level of force yet."
Lin Que shook his head helplessly and immediately withdrew his hand.
He slowly closed his eyes.
Inside his body, the Blood Scripture moved like a purple-gold ancient divine dragon, flowing smoothly through his limbs and bones.
The thirty-six Starfall Apertures (Great Desolation Star-Fall Body) that had just been opened slowly stopped operating under Lin Que's deliberate suppression.
The collapsing gravity, like miniature black holes, was locked tightly deep within his bone marrow.
Only when Lin Que completely restrained that terrifying mass of 100 million pounds, becoming like a Mortal scholar without any cultivation, did the Chen Family Old Ancestor slump onto the ground in fear, panting heavily.
"My Lord's Physical Body... if you were to go to the Central Continent, I'm afraid even the earth wouldn't be able to bear your footsteps..."
Su Qingyu's beautiful eyes sparkled with extraordinary brilliance.
"Although my Realm has reached the Late Stage Void Return Star Domain Realm, my control over power still needs refining."
Lin Que sat back on the large captain's throne. He looked at the three people below him in awe and waved his hand casually.
"Whoosh—"
A pure and massive blood-colored nebula poured directly out of his 500,000-mile starry sky inner heaven and earth, hovering in the air of the main control room!
This was the pure life essence of the million-strong mutated army after being purified by the System's radiation!
"I've eaten the meat of the God Kingdom Cemetery; I'll leave this soup for the brothers."
Lin Que's gaze was profound:
"Pass down the order: the hundred thousand Dragon Cavalry are to set out and enter the hundred-fold time-flow Formation of the inner heaven and earth! Consume this mass of blood qi entirely! Without my command, no one is allowed to come out until they reach the Soul Transformation Stage!"
"This old servant thanks My Lord for his heavenly grace on behalf of the hundred thousand boys!!"
The Chen Family Old Ancestor was so excited that tears filled his eyes. This kind of high-dimensional pure blood qi would be enough to trigger a Star Domain war in the outside world, yet My Lord was generous enough to use it to train his subordinates.
With this kind of foundation, an army of a hundred thousand Soul Transformation experts is just around the corner!
"Alright, save your flattery."
Lin Que leaned lazily against the back of the chair, his long legs crossed.
His heterochromatic eyes looked through the holographic window toward the depths of the starry sky, at that grand giant city built upon the skull of an ancient god—Skeleton Star City.
"Deactivate the warship's silent camouflage."
"Preheat the main cannon, full speed ahead."
"We're going to take over that city and, while we're at it, see if there's anyone blind enough to try my 100-million-pound fist."
...
Two hours later.
Outside the South Gate of Skeleton Star City.
As the only neutral supply station on the edge of the Ancient Star Sea Battlefield, Skeleton Star City was usually noisy and prosperous.
But today, the entire star city was eerily silent.
The city gate, made from the tens of thousands of feet high lower jawbone of a god, had been completely sealed by thick Ancient Refined Gold.
A layer of deep dark-gold, translucent hemispherical light shield, radiating the pressure of an ancient god, tightly enveloped the massive star city.
On the city walls, millions of star sea mercenaries, pirates, and scavengers stood in dense crowds.
At the very front of this motley crew stood three underground moguls of the star city whose auras were as deep as abysses and whose cultivation had reached the Peak Mid-stage Void Returning Star Domain Realm!
They were: the 'Bone King of Poisonous Hands' who controlled the black market, the 'Iron-Blooded Barbarian Lord' who commanded the mercenaries, and the 'Thousand-Faced Enchantress' who monopolized intelligence.
At this moment,
These three moguls, who usually called the shots in the star city, were staring nervously at the end of the starry sky.
"Bone King, are you sure that the million-strong expedition fleet from Heavenly God Heavy Industry was completely wiped out?"
The Thousand-Faced Enchantress bit her red lips, her voice trembling noticeably.
"The scouts saw it with their own eyes! They were all blown apart by a single punch from that white-clad monster! Not even dregs are left!"
The Bone King of Poisonous Hands's skeletal face was filled with heavy wariness.
"Then why are we still sealing the city?! Open the gates and welcome him! If we provoke such a peerless god of slaughter, the whole city will be buried with us!"
The Iron-Blooded Barbarian Lord roared irritably.
"Idiot! Do you think he'll let us off just because we open the gates?"
The Bone King of Poisonous Hands snorted coldly and gloomily:
"That kid definitely obtained the ultimate fortune of the Half-Step Dao Integration Realm in the God Kingdom Cemetery! Now, all the major powers of the Central Star Sea are rushing here like crazy! If we let him into the city, who will bear the wrath of the Central Star Sea then?"
"Besides..."
A greedy, fierce light flashed in the Bone King of Poisonous Hands's eyes:
"He just went through a peerless battle and forcibly annihilated a million-strong army. His True Yuan must be less than ten percent; he's definitely weak and putting on a front right now!"
He pointed at the dark-gold light shield above their heads.
"We have this Ancient God Skull Defense Array! This is an absolute defense that even a Peak Void Return cannot break! And it has a terrifying characteristic—100% Physical and Spell Damage Reflection!"
"As long as he dares to attack the shield, it will perfectly reflect his attack back at him! The more power he uses, the harsher the backlash!"
"We'll just shrink into our shell and force him to hand over the God Kingdom fortune! Once he's exhausted his strength, the king of this ancient battlefield will be us!"
Just as the three moguls were frantically calculating this "sure-win" deal.
"BOOM—!!!"
In the distant dark starry sky, a violent and oppressive spatial turbulence suddenly burst apart!
A nine-dragon annihilation class star destroyer, ninety thousand feet long, pitch-black as ink, and radiating a cold aura of destruction, crushed its way directly to the front of Skeleton Star City's shield like an ancient behemoth patrolling its territory, domineering and unreasonable!
The star destroyer stopped.
That massive shadow instantly and completely enveloped the million-strong army on the city walls.
Gulp...
On the city walls, countless mercenaries swallowed hard.
The pressure brought by this pure steel beast was simply too strong.
"Buzz—"
The flagship's hatch slowly opened.
Lin Que was alone, hands tucked into his wide white sleeves, lazily treading through the void, walking step by step to the front of that dark-gold shield.
He didn't even look at the million-strong army on the walls but instead casually looked up, his heterochromatic eyes staring through the shield at the three city moguls who were facing a great enemy.
"I'm a person who follows the rules. When out and about, I value harmony and mutual prosperity."
Lin Que's voice wasn't loud, but with the support of his terrifying lung capacity, it vibrated clearly in everyone's eardrums.
"Open the gates. I'm only here to take over the city, not to kill."
Facing Lin Que's "harmony."
On the city wall, the Bone King of Poisonous Hands gritted his teeth hard. Relying on the absolute defense in his hand, he plucked up his courage to step forward and roared loudly:
"Your Excellency's strength is heavenly; we naturally admire it! But Skeleton Star City has its own rules! Your Excellency has caused a huge disaster in the God Kingdom Cemetery and wants to drag us down with you? Absolutely impossible!"
"Unless... Your Excellency is willing to hand over half of the fortune obtained in the God Kingdom as a 'protection fee'! Otherwise, don't even think about stepping through this gate..."
"Noisy."
Lin Que impatiently interrupted the Bone King of Poisonous Hands's long-winded extortion.
What he hated most was the weak hiding in a turtle shell, self-righteously making conditions.
"Not opening the gate, then?"
Lin Que casually pulled his right hand out of his sleeve. "Then I'll just have to pry it open myself."
"Hahaha! Arrogant!! This is an absolute barrier formed from a god's skull! Not only is it unbreakable, but it will also reflect 100% of all your attacks! If you dare to act, that counter-shock force will shake you into meat paste!!!"
The Bone King of Poisonous Hands laughed wildly.
"100% damage reflection?"
Hearing this term, Lin Que didn't stop his movements; instead, a strange and cruel fanatical light erupted in his deep eyes.
"These days, why do people always like to threaten me with side effects?"
Lin Que slowly raised his right arm.
The Blood Scripture roared into operation!
Those thirty-six Starfall Apertures that had just gone quiet suddenly lit up wildly beneath his skin like thirty-six volcanoes about to erupt!
Ten million pounds... thirty million pounds... fifty million pounds... one hundred million pounds!!!!
The terrifying physical mass caused the vacuum around Lin Que's right fist to completely collapse, forming a deep, purely physical gravitational black hole!
Lin Que slowly but unstoppably pressed this fist, weighing 100 million pounds, against that dark-gold divine shield.
At the same time.
In his mind, he crisply and roguishly rang his exclusive ultimate cheat.
"System."
"This divine skull defense Formation is indeed quite sturdy. I'll use it as a punching bag to practice my fists."
"As for this deadly side effect of '100% reflection shock'..."
The corners of Lin Que's mouth slowly curled into a demon lord's smile that instantly made the three moguls on the wall feel their hair stand on end.
"Package it all up for me and penetrate the shield!"
"Let those three idiots on the wall who were shouting the loudest have a good taste..."
"Of what it feels like to be smashed in the face by a 100-million-pound hammer!!!"
