175: Chapter 175 Physical Limits Clash with Ancient Remnants! Forcibly Absorbing a Giant Power Bank!
Ancient Star Sea Battlefield,
Chaotic Star Sea, edge of the Thunder Punishment Star Mine.
"A mount... a battery..."
That [Star-Swallowing Thunder Beast], standing a hundred thousand feet tall and wreathed in thick Chaos Thunder, had an extreme fury burning in its giant eyes, which looked like two purple blood moons, nearly setting the entire Star Domain ablaze.
As a peerless overlord of the Chaotic Star Sea who possessed the Bloodline of an Ancient Remnant and a cultivation reaching the **[Void Return Star Domain Realm Late Stage Peak]**, it had run rampant in this Star Domain for tens of thousands of years. Even the patrol fleets from the Central Star Sea would take a detour when they saw it!
Today, a human ant who had just stepped into the Late Stage of Void Return had not only killed its subordinates on its territory but actually dared to provoke it by treating it like a beast and a tool?!
"Arrogant low-dimensional blood food!!! Die!!!"
The Star-Swallowing Thunder Beast let out a roar that shattered the galaxy!
It didn't pounce and bite like an ordinary Yao Beast; instead, it shrewdly opened its abyss-like maw and violently spat out a concentrated purple-black thunder orb!
"Talent Domain — [Chaos Thunder Prison]! Descend!!"
"Hum—!"
The thunder orb exploded silently in the vacuum, instantly transforming into an absolute thunder barrier with a radius of a hundred thousand miles, trapping Lin Que tightly inside!
In this Domain, all Five Elements Laws were forcibly repelled, leaving only the violent Ancient Chaos Thunder that could easily tear through the protective True Yuan of a Void Return grandmaster!
Gravity, time, and space all turned into viscous thunder slurry at this moment!
"In this Old Ancestor's thunder prison, your speed and True Yuan will be suppressed by ninety percent! Obediently become a meal in this Old Ancestor's belly!"
The Thunder Beast's mountain-like body loomed within the thunder prison. It swung its massive thunder claws, which were like heavenly pillars, carrying world-destroying kinetic energy as it brutally slammed them down toward Lin Que's head!
This strike blocked all paths of retreat; it was an absolute crushing blow from pure Realm and Ancient Bloodline!
However...
Lin Que, at the very center of the thunder prison, felt the viscous Law of thunder around him.
"Suppressing True Yuan? Sorry, when I fight, I never rely on True Yuan."
Lin Que slowly raised his head, and an unprecedented, extreme Battle Intent erupted from his heterochromatic eyes!
His crimson cloak danced wildly in the sea of thunder, and the bones throughout his body emitted a terrifying series of popping sounds like crackling beans!
Beneath his skin, the thirty-six Starfall Apertures of the Great Desolation Star-Fall Body roared like thirty-six star destroyer engines, pushing the one hundred million catties of Extreme Realm physical mass within him to the Peak without reservation!
"Get... the hell back!!!"
Lin Que did not draw his blade.
He stomped his right foot overbearingly, the pure physical reaction force directly shattering the Law of thunder beneath his feet!
He transformed into a streak of dark gold light, meeting the giant claw that was crashing down like a heavenly pillar, and threw a violent punch!
"Bang—!!!!!"
One large and one small, two fists of vastly different proportions collided violently in the vacuum of space!
It was like a neutron star colliding with a gas giant!
"Crack crack crack crack!!!"
A visible physical shockwave shook the [Chaos Thunder Prison] within a hundred-thousand-mile radius, causing it to distort violently and even creating large-scale spatial cracks!
"What?!!"
A flash of unbelievable shock and horror instantly crossed the Star-Swallowing Thunder Beast's blood-moon-like eyes!
It felt as if its giant claw hadn't struck a human, but rather the hardest and most terrifically massive piece of Ancient Star Steel in the entire Universe!
That pure physical counter-shock force surging back actually caused its massive arm to experience a wave of numbing, sharp pain!
As for Lin Que, under this blow, he slid backward like a meteorite for tens of thousands of feet, crudely plowing a pitch-black spatial rift in the vacuum.
"Phew... as expected of an Ancient Remnant at the Void Return Late Stage Peak. This strength is quite something!"
Lin Que stabilized himself and shook his slightly numb right arm.
Relying on the one hundred million catties of the Extreme Realm, he had head-on withstood the full-force strike of a peerless Vicious Beast a minor Realm higher than him, without suffering any internal injuries!
But there was a price for taking it head-on.
The high-dimensional "Ancient Chaos Thunder Poison" attached to the giant claw had insidiously burrowed into Lin Que's Meridians through the physical contact surface. This was a high-grade paralyzing toxin that could directly freeze a Cultivator's nerves and Soul reaction speed.
"Hahaha! An ant is an ant after all! Your Physical Body truly surprised this Old Ancestor, but do you feel like your limbs are no longer following your commands now?!"
The Star-Swallowing Thunder Beast keenly noticed the slight stiffness in Lin Que.
It laughed wildly, its massive body leaping up again as it opened its bloody maw, which was large enough to swallow a planet, and brought with it a terrifying devouring vortex, attempting to swallow Lin Que whole!
"Mental paralysis? Physical carbonization?"
Facing that foul-smelling, abyss-like maw biting down from all directions...
Not only did Lin Que not struggle, but his originally stiff-looking mouth slowly curled into a cruel, devious smile of a Demon Venerable.
"You big stupid dog, did you forget... how I killed your subordinates?"
Lin Que snapped his fingers in his mind with the flair of a rogue.
"System."
"I'll take this Ancient Thunder Origin this stupid dog sent over for Body Refining."
"As for these lethal side effects of 'absolute paralysis' and 'physical carbonization'..."
Lin Que's heterochromatic eyes accurately locked onto the hundred-thousand-foot giant beast right in front of him.
"Package them all up for me!"
"And air-drop them precisely into this big stupid dog's brains!"
"Let it have a good taste of what it's like to have high-level paraplegia!!!"
[Ding! side effect transfer system activated with the highest priority!]
[High-dimensional Bloodline debuff detected: Ancient Chaos Thunder Poison (Deep nerve paralysis, irreversible physical carbonization, Soul stiffness).]
[Transfer target locked: Star-Swallowing Thunder Beast (Void Return Star Domain Realm Late Stage Peak)!]
[Logic reconstruction complete! Ignoring Ancient Bloodline resistance! Karma line has been forcibly bound to the individual!]
[Paralysis electrotherapy mode, transfer beginning!!]
"Buzz—!!!"
Under the System's unreasonable high-dimensional intervention!
An absurd and comical scene played out in the sea of thunder!
The thunder poison inside Lin Que, which was enough to paralyze a Void Return grandmaster, instantly turned into the purest energy and was swallowed in one gulp by the Blood Scripture!
While above Lin Que's head...
The Star-Swallowing Thunder Beast, with its mouth wide open and about to swallow Lin Que...
"Die, ant... Uh?!!"
Its cruel roar suddenly got stuck in its throat! Something terrifying happened!
The Star-Swallowing Thunder Beast was horrified to find that its massive hundred-thousand-foot body had eerily—stopped in mid-air!
An extreme, Soul-deep sense of absolute paralysis erupted from deep within its mind without warning, instantly spreading to its entire body!
It felt as if its spine had been removed; it had completely lost even the strength to blink!
Not only that, but the indestructible scales on its body began to ignite and carbonize unreasonably!
"Wooo... (What's going on?! Why can't this Old Ancestor's body move?!)"
The Star-Swallowing Thunder Beast's eyes widened in despair. Its massive body lost its support and, like a giant piece of scrap metal, it fell straight down through space in humiliation!
"Boom!!!"
The hundred-thousand-foot beast crashed into a floating continental remnant, creating a terrifying crater and kicking up clouds of dust.
Meanwhile, Lin Que, like a light falling leaf, landed elegantly on the Star-Swallowing Thunder Beast's massive nose.
"Who did you say you were going to eat?"
Lin Que stood with his hands in his sleeves, looking down at this ancient overlord who could only roll its eyes in terror due to total paralysis.
"Wooo... (What kind of Demonic Technique did you use on this Old Ancestor?! You despicable human!)"
The Thunder Beast let out a humiliated whimper from its throat.
"Don't be nervous, I just gave you a full-body checkup."
Lin Que walked lazily to the center of the Thunder Beast's forehead. He unceremoniously stomped his foot heavily right above the beast's fragile nerve center!
"Blood Scripture — Extreme Realm Furnace, extract it for me!!!"
"Boom!!!"
Purple-gold blood Qi, like countless sharp steel pipes, brutally pierced into the Thunder Beast's forehead!
Lin Que didn't kill it; instead, he overbearingly began to crazily extract the excess, violent Origin essence from the Thunder Beast's body!
"Waaaaah!!!"
The Thunder Beast let out a miserable wail as it felt its Origin being ruthlessly plundered!
Pure Ancient Thunder Beast essence poured continuously into Lin Que's body.
Those one hundred million catties of Extreme Realm muscles that had just been solidified let out a joyful cheer under the nourishment of this great supplement!
"One hundred and two million catties... one hundred and five million catties... one hundred and ten million catties!!!"
Only after Lin Que had solidly pushed his physical mass to one hundred and ten million catties and completely stabilized his Extreme Realm Foundation did he stop the absorption with satisfaction.
By this time, the Star-Swallowing Thunder Beast had been drained until its aura was withered, and it didn't even have the strength to resist.
"Don't play dead. I'm keeping you alive because I have a great use for you."
Lin Que coldly bit his fingertip and quickly drew a complex purple-gold rune in the void that emitted an ancient, forbidden aura—the [Blood God Life-Death Seal]!
"Snap!"
Lin Que brutally slapped the rune into the depths of the Star-Swallowing Thunder Beast's Sea of Consciousness, branding it directly onto its True Spirit!
"Wooo..."
The Thunder Beast's massive body shuddered violently, and its blood-moon eyes revealed a look of complete, helpless submission and despair.
It knew that from then on, its life and death were entirely at the whim of this perverted human.
"Congratulations, big stupid dog."
Lin Que stood atop the Thunder Beast's massive head, his crimson cloak fluttering in the faint stellar wind.
He patted the Thunder Beast's rough scales with satisfaction, a devious smile curling at the corners of his mouth.
"From today on, you are officially hired as..."
"The [nine-dragon annihilation class star destroyer]'s giant external battery, as well as an all-terrain navigation mount."
"Now, get up obediently."
Lin Que turned around dominantly, his deep heterochromatic eyes piercing through the gradually dissipating Chaos Thunder to lock onto the core mineral vein in the deepest part of the thunder sea, which was emitting a blinding light.
"Carry me to the innermost part of the Thunder Punishment Star Mine."
"To get what belongs to me..."
"The Top-grade Chaos Thunder Crystal!!!"
