195: Chapter 195 The Dragon Tomb Descends! Rules Stripped! Welcome to my home turf!

Under the shocked gazes of everyone, Lin Qi did not linger and stepped into the dark light gate.

The light gate offered no resistance whatsoever.

The expected dizziness and sensation of spatial tearing did not occur.

His vision went black for a moment, and then a solid sensation came from beneath his feet.

Immediately after, Li Pojun, Xiao Kuangyun, Han Qianchi, and other unwilling Prodigies, along with dozens of disguised Li Family Death Warriors, also plunged in without hesitation.

"Hmph, I'll see where you can run!"

Xiao Kuangyun snorted coldly and stepped into the light gate with intense Battle Intent.

Han Qianchi remained expressionless, but his cold eyes revealed his complex emotions.

Li Pojun was being supported by others; he glanced venomously at the light gate and growled hoarsely, "Go in! Everyone go in! I want to see him die with my own eyes!"

The light gate fluctuated violently after the last person entered, then slowly dissipated into the air.

...

"What kind of hellish place is this?"

A Genius contestant who had just entered couldn't help but cry out in alarm at the sight before him.

Everyone found themselves in the middle of a vast, boundless wasteland.

The sky overhead was a thick, dark red, emitting an ominous aura.

The air was filled with a mist of blood and decay; a single breath made one's chest feel tight and throat feel dry.

"Beneath our feet... what is this?"

Someone looked down, and their face turned pale instantly.

What they were stepping on wasn't soil or rock at all.

It was a bony ground formed from the weathered remains of countless giant creatures.

With one step, white bone powder puffed into the air.

Looking as far as the eye could see, giant ribs towered at the horizon, along with massive skulls whose empty sockets stared at the blood-colored sky.

This wasn't just the Dragon Tomb.

This was a graveyard for Dragons, a cemetery for the world.

Just as everyone was shocked by the scene before them...

BOOM!!!

A terrifying, massive force descended from the sky, pressing down heavily on everyone.

"Ugh! Argh!"

A magic-based Genius with a weaker Physique didn't have time to react; his legs gave way with a thud, and he was pressed directly into a kneeling position on the ground.

The mage knee pads he was so proud of shattered instantly, and his kneecaps hit the ground with a dull crack.

The intense pain made him scream.

"What's going on! Gravity! The gravity here is terrifying!"

"Hold on! Steady your stance!"

Panic spread rapidly through the crowd.

Everyone felt like they were being weighed down by heavy objects; their blood flow became sluggish, and breathing became difficult.

"System! Open the System panel! Check status!"

A contestant shouted in panic, habitually wanting to open the panel to check his negative status effects.

However, after he finished shouting, no light screen appeared.

"Where's my panel? Why can't I open it!"

"Mine is the same! The System isn't responding!"

"Is it a bug? Hey! Where's the Tianji Pavilion System!"

Just then, a sharp-eyed person pointed at their wrist and screamed.

"Look! Look at your wrists!"

Everyone instinctively looked down.

They saw the miniature light screens on their wrists, including HP bars, MP bars, and status bars, flickering violently.

Sizzle... sizzle...

In the next second, under everyone's stunned gaze, a wisp of black smoke rose from the System interface.

Immediately after, the interface turned to Ashes within a second.

Gone!

It was all gone!

The System, the Foundation upon which all professionals relied for survival, had disappeared.

"No! This is impossible!"

Xiao Kuangyun instinctively tried to sense the Storage Ring on his finger.

All his weapons and life-saving potions were stored there.

But the storage space that was originally connected to his spirit had completely lost all connection.

That legendary-grade Storage Ring had turned into an ordinary lump of metal.

"My Storage Ring... it's failed too!"

"Medicine! I can't take out my recovery potions!"

"My weapon! My legendary staff!"

This discovery caused even greater panic than the disappearance of the System.

Losing the System interface meant they couldn't use skills or judge the status of friends and foes.

And losing storage equipment meant they had completely lost their logistical supplies, turning into a group of empty-handed Mortals.

"Ice... my ice power!"

On the other side, Han Qianchi's face was deathly pale. He reached out his hand, frantically trying to mobilize the ice Law power within his body.

In the outside world, a single thought from him could freeze a hundred miles.

But here, the Law power in his body didn't react at all.

He could feel a domineering force that had completely Sealed all powers related to data and Laws within him.

Every single one of the Prodigies present was completely stunned.

They were used to crushing everything with data panels and skills; at this moment, they had been stripped back to their original forms.

They were even inferior to a strictly trained ordinary soldier.

"Ugh... pfft!"

Li Pojun, who was already heavily injured by Lin Qi, was even worse off under the tenfold gravity.

He was held up firmly by two guards to keep from being crushed to the ground.

But even so, his shattered internal organs couldn't withstand the pressure. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turned pale, and his breathing became weak.

Despair, panic, and helplessness.

These emotions enveloped all the Prodigies.

However, in contrast to this group of collapsing Prodigies were the dozens of Li Family Death Warriors mixed in the crowd.

Under the initial gravitational pressure, they also experienced brief discomfort.

But after only a few breaths, they quickly regained their footing.

Most of these death warriors were Second Transition Shield Guardians or Berserker classes.

The basic Physical Body quality provided by their classes was already far beyond those of the pampered magic-based classes.

Coupled with the Li family's hellish training, their Physical Bodies had long been polished to be exceptionally tough.

Tenfold gravity, for them, only made their movements slightly slower.

The System disappearing?

Laws being Sealed?

This wasn't within their scope of concern at all.

Their gazes remained cold and numb, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

At a gesture from the lead death warrior, they spread out from the crowd in a coordinated manner, quietly closing in on a target from all directions.

An encirclement was quietly forming.

The lead death warrior slowly crouched down and untied a piece of oilcloth bound to his inner thigh.

The oilcloth unfolded to reveal a poisoned dagger and a heavy machete.

From beginning to end, they had only one mission.

Kill Lin Qi!

At any cost!

In this environment where everyone's supernatural powers were stripped away, these death warriors who specialized in physical combat were the most lethal hunters.

Total chaos.

The Prodigies were screaming in panic, while the death warriors were approaching silently.

At the center of this storm, the target hadn't moved a single inch from the very beginning.

Lin Qi just stood there quietly.

The tenfold gravity sufficient to crush a mage and the rules that stripped away all data and Laws had no effect on him whatsoever.

He could even feel his Prototype Golden Body emitting a comfortable hum under this pressure, as the connection between his bones and muscles became even tighter.

Amidst the chaos of everyone's panic or wariness...

Only Lin Qi slowly let out a breath of turbid air.

Feeling the pressure of this world and that undisguised, cold killing intent, a smile actually appeared at the corners of his mouth.

He muttered to himself, his voice carrying a sense of liberated pleasure.

"Finally... no more of that annoying data."
