190: Chapter 190 A Legion of 100,000 Mechs! The Nine Suns Nebula? The System Uses Fire to Burn Down the Enemy's Camps!
In the Central Star Sea, within the hyperspace jump tunnel leading to the Great Sun Divine Dynasty.
"Rumble—"
The massive [Nine-Dragon Planet-Destroying Warship V3.0], like a dormant steel beast, was pulled by a ten-thousand-zhang Star-Swallowing Thunder Beast, steadily and domineeringly tearing through the spatial barrier.
On the wide deck outside the main control room, a suffocating aura of slaughter was currently permeating.
A full one hundred thousand Dragon Cavalry had completely finished their equipment change. They had shed the crude armor originally forged in the Borderlands and donned the top-tier [Taiyi Star-Shining Level Individual Mecha] from the Heavenly God Heavy Industry treasury.
This mecha was entirely deep dark gold in color, with high-dimensional Formation patterns flowing across its surface. It could not only amplify the True Essence of the Soul Transformation Stage several times over, but the chest of the mecha was also inlaid with a miniature spirit-gathering array.
The one hundred thousand-strong army stood together, their Qi and blood connecting into one. Even a Late Void Returning Realm Star Sea beast would have to detour upon seeing them.
"Master, the brothers have completely adapted to the new equipment. We only need to arrive at the Planet Huangji to immediately form a battle array and flatten the Great Sun Divine Dynasty's imperial city!"
Chen Family Old Ancestor looked at the imposing Dragon Cavalry below, his old face filled with fanaticism and pride.
Lin Que sat upright on the captain's throne, supporting his chin with one hand.
He wasn't looking at the army outside, but instead had his Divine Sense immersed in the intelligence Jade Slip that Ji Wushuang had been forced to "truth-tell" and hand over.
"Great Sun Divine Emperor, Late Stage Dao Integration Realm... But because he forcibly swallowed a violent Primordial Sun Origin in his early years, his Dao Foundation was damaged, and he has been in seclusion suppressing the backlash all these years."
"His so-called Late Stage cultivation is entirely maintained by draining the vitality of the royal bloodline. In reality, he is a paper tiger that is strong on the outside but weak on the inside."
A playful arc curled up at the corners of Lin Que's mouth.
Intelligence is crucial for an interstellar war.
If the opponent were a peak Late Stage Dao Integration Realm expert, Lin Que might have restrained himself a little and slowly eroded them. But since it was a leaking, broken bucket, there was no need to be polite.
"However, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. The Great Sun Divine Dynasty has ruled the Central Star Sea for so many years; their outer defenses are definitely not just for show."
Lin Que put away the Jade Slip and closed his eyes slightly.
Underneath his skin, the terrifying physical extreme of 230 million jin was slowly circulating within his thirty-six Starfall Apertures.
He was using this time during the jump to solidify his Foundation bit by bit.
He was not in a hurry to break through immediately; strength needs to be settled to possess the purest destructive power when it erupts.
...
Three days later.
The warship shook violently and exited the hyperspace jump tunnel.
"Warning! High-dimensional energy radiation barrier detected ahead! Warship shields are suffering continuous burning!"
The main control room's AI issued a shrill alert.
Lin Que slowly opened his eyes, his gaze piercing through the holographic porthole to look at the cosmic starry sky ahead.
What appeared before everyone's eyes was not a prosperous planet, but a sea of golden fire stretching across the Universe, seemingly without end!
This sea of fire was condensed from countless violent Solar True Fires, forming a spectacular [Nine-Sun Heaven-Burning Nebula]!
The nebula rotated slowly, releasing a terrifying high temperature capable of instantly vaporizing even Void Returning Realm experts.
This was the outermost natural barrier of the Great Sun Divine Dynasty's Planet Huangji, reinforced by the Divine Dynasty's experts with peerless Formations, turning it into an impassable chasm.
"Such a terrifying nebula..."
Su Qingyu stood beside Lin Que, beads of sweat seeping from her forehead.
Even inside the warship protected by Formations, she could still feel a heat that pressed directly against her Soul.
And behind that golden nebula, thousands of crimson-gold imperial warships of the Divine Dynasty were parked, dimly visible.
"Listen up, black ship ahead!"
An extremely arrogant spiritual broadcast came from behind the nebula, laced with condescending mockery:
"You must be that group of Borderland rebels who destroyed Heavenly God Heavy Industry, right? To actually dare to invade my Planet Huangji!"
"This is our dynasty's capital-protecting Formation, the [Nine-Sun Heaven-Burning Nebula]! This nebula not only has an extremely high temperature, but it also contains Primordial Fire Poison that 'vaporizes True Essence and melts bones and blood'! Without our dynasty's special Fire-Avoidance Talismans, anyone who trespasses will be roasted alive into charcoal in this nebula!"
"This general advises you to obediently kneel and surrender, lest you turn into flying ash later and not even leave a whole corpse!"
The one shouting was a deputy commander of the Great Sun Divine Dynasty's Imperial Guard.
They were hiding in the safe zone behind the nebula, relying on the natural barrier to shout unscrupulously.
"Master, the energy level of this nebula is extremely high. Although the star destroyer's main cannon can blast a path, it will take too long and may damage the warship's power core."
Zhao Xiao analyzed the battle situation quickly.
"Blast it open?"
Lin Que stood up from the throne and casually picked up the ten-million-jin [taichu world-fall heavy blade].
He walked to the cabin door, his crimson cloak fluttering without wind, a touch of fanaticism like looking at a buffet flashing in his deep, heterochromatic eyes.
"With such pure Primordial Sun energy, wouldn't it be a waste to blast it away with cannons?"
Lin Que did not hesitate at all, stepping directly out of the cabin door, exposing himself alone to the cosmic vacuum and the edge of the golden nebula, which was enough to melt Dao Artifacts.
"Chi chi chi—"
As soon as he approached, the violent golden flames seemed like sharks that had smelled blood, crazily rushing toward Lin Que.
The extreme high temperature attempted to drill into his Meridians through his pores, vaporizing his True Essence and melting his bones and blood.
"Hahaha! That idiot actually walked out of the shield himself! Does he really think he can withstand the Nine-Sun Fire Poison just because his Physical Body is strong? Just watch, he'll be roasted into a puddle of golden liquid in less than ten breaths!"
The Imperial Guard deputy commander behind the nebula let out a disdainful, maniacal laugh.
However.
Lin Que, standing at the edge of the sea of fire, looked as calm as if he were soaking in a hot spring.
He felt the scorching Fire Poison inside his body attempting to destroy his vitality, and unhurriedly rang up the System in his mind.
"System."
"I won't be polite about swallowing all the Sun Origin in this Nine-Sun Nebula."
"As for this deadly side effect of 'vaporizing True Essence and melting bones and blood'..."
A cruel, cold smile curled at the corners of Lin Que's mouth, his gaze locking tightly onto the tens of thousands of Imperial Guards hiding in the back watching the show, through the thick nebula.
"Package it all for me! Cross the nebula!"
"Airdrop it with extreme precision onto that group of golden-armored Imperial Guards!"
"Since they like watching people get roasted so much, let them do some deep-roasting inside their own armor first!"
[Ding! side effect transfer system activated at highest priority!]
[Detected high-dimensional natural disaster DeBuff: Nine-Sun Heaven-Burning Fire Poison (Instant True Essence vaporization, absolute bone and flesh melting, Soul exhaustion).]
[Locked transfer target: Great Sun Divine Dynasty Imperial Guard (Deputy Commander and his 50,000 elites)!]
[Logic reconstruction complete! Ignoring Formation isolation! Karma lines perfectly reversed and bound!]
[Borrowing fire to burn the camp mode, bombing begins!!]
Hum——!!!
Under the System's unreasonable dimensional-reduction strike.
Those golden flames rushing toward Lin Que instantly lost all destructiveness and high-temperature backlash, turning into streams of the purest, gentlest [Stellar Fire Source Law].
"Blood Scripture— Extreme Realm Furnace, swallow it for me!!!"
Lin Que opened his arms, and the one-million-li starry inner heaven and earth within him roared into operation!
On the World Tree, the leaf representing the Flame Law erupted with brilliant red light, greedily swallowing the energy in this sky-filling nebula in one gulp!
And at the same time.
In the imperial fleet behind the nebula.
"Deputy Commander, why hasn't that kid melted yet... Uh, ahhhhh!!!"
Before the Imperial Guard soldier could finish his sentence, he suddenly let out an inhuman, shrill scream!
Without any warning!
The terrifying side effect of "melting bones and blood" transferred by the System erupted directly inside the bodies of the fifty thousand Imperial Guards!
The golden armor they wore to defend against external enemies now became closed "ovens" one by one.
"So hot! My True Essence is vaporizing!! My internal organs have melted!!"
The deputy commander pulled at his armor in extreme terror, but he was horrified to find that his hands had already turned into golden pus!
This was not external flame burning at all, but a conceptual-level melting that acted directly on the depths of their physical bodies and Souls!
"Help!! What kind of evil magic is this?!!"
In just a few breaths of time.
On the tens of thousands of warships behind the nebula, the fifty thousand Imperial Guards, armed to the teeth, didn't even touch a corner of Lin Que's clothes before they were roasted alive from the inside in extreme despair and screams, melting into puddles of black-smoking blood, leaving only empty armor all over the ground!
A bloodless victory, the System borrowing fire to burn the camp!
And Lin Que in front of the nebula.
He was currently in the midst of an extremely profound transformation.
As the massive [Nine-Sun Heaven-Burning Nebula] was swallowed by him like a whale, this natural barrier stretching across the Universe was becoming thin and dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Massive amounts of Stellar Origin poured into Lin Que's inner heaven and earth, feeding back into his Physical Body.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
Beneath his skin, the thirty-six Starfall Apertures erupted with a deafening roar.
The extreme pressure that had been stagnant at 230 million jin once again ushered in a violent climb!
240 million jin... 250 million jin!!!!
The moment his physical mass broke through to 250 million jin, the cosmic vacuum around Lin Que directly emitted the sound of shattering under unbearable weight.
Along with the surge in physical density, the invisible barrier of his Realm within his body also shattered with a bang under the scouring of the Stellar Origin, as a matter of course!
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for swallowing the Nine-Sun Nebula Origin!]
[inner heaven and earth Fire Law nearing Major Achievement!]
[Current cultivation Breakthrough: Dao Integration Realm (Second Level)!!!]
"Hoo..."
Lin Que exhaled a scorching white breath with extreme comfort; the white breath was like a sword, directly blowing away the last remaining trace of the nebula in front.
The Universe ahead suddenly opened up.
Without the cover of the nebula, a supergiant star radiating endless brilliant golden light, with a volume 100,000 times larger than an ordinary planet, was displayed without reservation before Lin Que and his one hundred thousand-strong army.
That was the core hub representing the highest power of the Central Star Sea, surrounded by countless artificial star rings — the Great Sun Divine Dynasty, Planet Huangji!
Lin Que held the ten-million-jin taichu world-fall heavy blade in one hand.
The 250 million jin physical extreme was perfectly restrained within his body, without leaking a single bit.
But that abyss-like oppressive feeling was more heart-palpitating than any Divine Ability.
He turned his head and looked at the one hundred thousand hot-blooded, long-hungry Dragon Cavalry on the deck behind him.
"The natural barrier has been broken."
Lin Que's voice was like rolling thunder, spreading throughout the entire fleet:
"The whole army, advance."
"Follow this seat to land on the Planet Huangji and go meet that strong-on-the-outside-weak-on-the-inside Divine Emperor."
"Today, the throne of the Great Sun Divine Dynasty should change hands!"
