220: Chapter 220 Crushing Divine Punishment with Bare Hands!

The dome shattered, and a figure in black robes holding a bone staff stood suspended in the air.

That terrifying aura, mixed with the Death Qi of the Void Realm and divine pressure, was several times denser than the overlapping Domains of the Mountain Fiend and Tiger Fiend, and it now filled the entire sinkhole.

The once arrogantly violent Mountain Fiend and Tiger Fiend were now like stray dogs held by the scruff of their necks, frozen in place, unable to move.

The two fully manifested Eighth-Order Beast Emperor Bloodline creatures huddled in the corner of the ruins, looking just like two stray animals locked in a cage.

Moreover, because their retreat was blocked, they ended up squeezed into the same area as Su Ming and the others.

This feeling... was quite subtle.

Enemies who were tearing each other's homes apart three seconds ago had now become brothers in misfortune.

"..." The Mountain Fiend and Ye Xiao exchanged a glance, then simultaneously turned their heads away.

It was too awkward...

However, the black-robed figure in mid-air didn't even glance their way.

Mere ants.

His fanatical gaze, hidden beneath the shadow of his hood, locked firmly onto Su Ming in the center of the pit.

Pointing his bone staff forward, he spat out a verdict cold as iron:

"Heretical star remains, living Silver Blood, you shall be purged by Divine Punishment!"

His voice was hoarse but carried an unquestionable majesty.

"[Holy Radiance Prison], I want him alive."

"As you command, Lord Inquisitor!"

The twelve Abyss Knights on the perimeter responded in unison, their voices perfectly synchronized.

They simultaneously thrust their dark gold cross greatswords deep into the rock layer!

Hum...!

A dark golden light barrier, a hundred times thicker than the barrier Mantis King had used earlier, rose from the ground, completely sealing the entire open-air giant pit and cutting off all retreat.

The Mountain Fiend and Tiger Fiend, closest to the light barrier, were the first to feel despair.

As high-ranking Beast Seal Envoys of the Tongyuan Society, they knew the modus operandi of the Divine Court Empire all too well.

That set of dark gold heavy armor represented absolute "purification" and indiscriminate slaughter.

Tiger Fiend would not give up; he crouched on all fours, his body transforming into a streak of silver light, attempting to tear open a corner of the light barrier with extreme speed.

But the moment he touched that dark golden light shield...

"Sizzle!"

The silver tiger fur on his side instantly vaporized, and his flesh let out a burnt smell.

"Roar!"

Tiger Fiend let out a miserable wail, scrambling back to the corner of the ruins, not daring to move a muscle again.

On the other side, Ye Canglan's face was deathly pale.

He used his battered body to shield Night Crow and whispered:

"The Abyss Knights... the direct ace unit of the Divine Court Empire. Every member has been baptized by the Origin of the Void Realm, and even the weakest is at the Seventh-Order Peak!"

"What the hell?!"

Ye Xiao's eyes nearly popped out of his head, "The weakest... is Seventh-Order Peak? Those twelve..."

"And what level is that old man floating in the sky?"

Young Master Gu Lingfeng also had an expression like he'd just seen a ghost.

It was just a mission, was this necessary?

He had seen Sixth-Order, Seventh-Order, and Eighth-Order Bloodlines, and now even a real Eighth-Order had appeared?

Ye Canglan looked at the black and red figure, his voice extremely dry:

"Only the Imperial Inquisition can command the Abyss Knights... Given his attire, he is undoubtedly a Black-Robed Inquisitor! A true Eighth-Order powerhouse!"

Everyone gasped in unison.

Hatred surged on Ye Canglan's face as he added:

"Eighteen years ago... it was these lunatics who claimed to be gods that ambushed the Federation's only Valkyrie, Luo Qingyi!"

This statement hit them hard, and even the Mountain Fiend and Tiger Fiend changed expressions.

Valkyrie.

The most dazzling legend of the Federation in the last century, the existence most likely to reach beyond the Ninth-Order.

Was she actually killed by the Divine Court Empire?

In mid-air, the Black-Robed Inquisitor Samuel completely ignored the whispering ants in the corner.

He looked around, his brow furrowing slightly beneath his hood.

"Why has Charon still not appeared?"

He spoke coldly to himself, and no one answered.

Ye Canglan's heart sank suddenly...

What?

Besides the Divine Court Empire, there was a fourth party lurking here?

Samuel didn't dwell on it and locked his gaze back onto Su Ming.

He raised his bone staff and delivered the final verdict:

"Except for the youth in the center with no Source Energy, I want them alive."

"As for the rest, be they Federation soldiers or beasts of the Tongyuan Society... purge them all, leave none alive."

His tone was high and mighty, as casual as crushing an ant.

After speaking, he focused his gaze entirely on Su Ming, speaking with an air of condescension:

"Hand over the control of the Silver Blood, and I may grant you the honor of 'returning to the Divine Court'."

However, Su Ming, standing at the bottom of the pit, not only didn't kneel, he didn't even lift his eyelids to look at the Inquisitor's face.

His eyes lit up, staring intently at the dark gold heavy armor of the twelve Abyss Knights, scanning them back and forth three times.

Tsk.

This thickness, this texture, the concentration of energy lingering on it...

At a glance, it was a massive amount of heavy physical stamping and high-quality energy sources!

Compared to this equipment, the Mountain Fiend's black fur was simply the beggar version!

In the eerie atmosphere of silence, Su Ming took a step forward.

He lifted his face, baring an incredibly arrogant smile at the Inquisitor in mid-air, and his voice rang out like a bell:

"If you have business, come at me alone, don't touch them!"

This shout was righteous and heroic.

Behind him, Night Crow and Young Master Gu Lingfeng instantly clenched their fists, their eyes heating up.

Only Ye Xiao's mouth twitched violently.

He knew Su Ming too well.

Since when was this guy so righteous and noble?

Nine times out of ten, he had his eyes on the equipment on those knights, right!?

"Ignorant!"

Inquisitor Samuel was thoroughly enraged by Su Ming's attitude, laughing in his anger.

"Since you are in such a rush to die, I shall grant your wish!"

"Divine Punishment, purge!"

Before the words faded, three dark golden light chains wrapped in the aura of high-dimensional Law instantly pierced through the Void Realm!

The light chains ignored spatial distance and ignored any possible defensive stance Su Ming might have, appearing out of thin air around him, binding his limbs and waist tightly, wrapping layer after layer, and yanking him upward!

Su Ming was suspended in mid-air, the surrounding gravity and oxygen instantly stripped away.

"Purification, activate!"

Samuel spat out the four cold words.

Receiving the command, the twelve Abyss Knights actually took out another identical dark gold cross longsword from their storage space!

A terrifying Killing Intent erupted from them, turning into twelve streaks of dark gold light, charging towards Ye Canglan and the others behind Su Ming!

"Roar!"

The Mountain Fiend and Tiger Fiend let out a roar of unwillingness almost simultaneously.

They understood the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold'.

Both opened their Domains at the same time, the blood-colored giant ape dharma image and the spatial strangulation tiger shadow reappeared, biting the bullet to meet two of the knights!

Ye Xiao and the others could only fight for their lives!

On the other side, Ye Canglan closed his eyes in despair.

Once entangled by the high-dimensional Law lingering on those dark gold chains, there was no possibility of breaking free.

It was over!

Everyone believed that this young monster who had created miracles time and again had finally kicked a plate of iron he could not shake.

"What, is bondage play popular here too?"

Just then, a dense series of System notifications flooded Su Ming's mind.

[Warning! High-dimensional Law interference detected!]

[Warning! Spatial attribute blockade detected!]

[Talent: Mass Devouring, activated!]

[Starting analysis of high-dimensional Law... Analysis successful! Starting conversion!]

[mass points + 35000!]

[mass points + 38000!]

[...]

[High-dimensional energy impact detected, Planet-level exo-colonial star core armor [sinking star] beginning to absorb...]

[Repair degree + 1.2%!]

[Repair degree + 1.3%!]

[...]

Advanced!

It was actually a double whammy!

Both mass points and repair degree were skyrocketing!

Su Ming, suppressed by "Divine Punishment", had no trace of pain on his face, but instead comfortably shook his neck.

His expression was unbelievably relaxed.

The Mountain Fiend, besieged by three Abyss Knights, caught a glimpse of this scene in his peripheral vision, and his orange-gold giant pupils nearly popped out of their sockets.

Tiger Fiend's expression control was completely lost.

This was the holy Law that could melt even an Eighth-Order!

He... he was actually enjoying it?!

The eyes beneath the black-robed figure's hood contracted sharply, feeling his majesty damaged, and he shouted, "Blasphemy!"

He slammed his bone staff into the Void Realm!

The light chains instantly ignited with black karmic fire capable of burning the Soul, attempting to completely erase Su Ming's consciousness.

However, the response was a deafening explosion that made everyone's Soul tremble.

"Crack... Boom!"

The indestructible high-dimensional dark gold chains were forcibly torn apart and crushed by Su Ming's pure muscular brute force!

The shattered fragments of Law turned into a violent shockwave that backlashed, and everyone below was shaken by the pure physical gale, their formations collapsing, all of them groaning and retreating several steps.

Ye Canglan looked up, his dark purple vertical pupils filled with a confusion that didn't belong to a Seventh-Order powerhouse.

No Source Energy fluctuations.

Not even a trace.

Pure... brute force?!

Crushing high-dimensional Law with bare hands?

The Mountain Fiend's twelve-meter giant body had weak knees, and Tiger Fiend had to dig his sharp claws deep into the ground to keep from kneeling.

And the Black-Robed Inquisitor in mid-air, who had never lost his composure, had his hand holding the bone staff trembling violently, and for the first time, he let out a scream:

"Impossible!

Even if you have evolved into a silicon-based organism, it is impossible to break free from the Abyss Judgment?!"
