79: Chapter 79 Heaven's Dao Locks the Family! Using my parents as bargaining chips? I can't tolerate this!
Meanwhile, atop the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Platform, the raging winds gradually died down.
The ten-thousand-foot Ancestral Dragon circled the firmament with an imposing air before its massive body rapidly shrank.
With a flash of golden light, the Dragon Girl transformed back into a delicate, doll-like little girl and dove straight into Jiang Feng's arms.
She let out a satisfied burp, a few sparks of purple lightning crackling from the corner of her mouth.
Jiang Feng lowered his gaze, his expression remaining indifferent and unruffled. There was no hint of relaxation after passing the tribulation, nor a trace of complacency. He simply raised a hand to stroke her head, his tone as flat as if he were discussing something trivial: "Well done."
The Dragon Girl squinted in comfort, looking just like a kitten begging for a reward.
Billions of people watching the live stream worldwide were left stunned.
The prehistoric beast that had been swallowing the heavens and earth just a second ago was actually this docile in Jiang Feng's arms?!
What shocked them even more was that Jiang Feng had maintained the same posture from beginning to end—hands in his pockets, expression lazy, as if the entity that had just swallowed the heavenly tribulation wasn't his pet, but some farce that had nothing to do with him.
The next moment, system notifications rained down like a torrential downpour:
[Ding! Congratulations to player [Qingfeng] for successfully passing the Fourth-Turn Ascension Tribulation!]
[Fourth-Turn quest [Reshape Divine Body] completed!]
[Your four-dimensional attributes have achieved a limit breakthrough...]
[Exclusive divine skill [Divine Tyrant Body] has completed dimensional enhancement...]
Jiang Feng didn't even glance at the panel. With a casual flick of his finger, he dismissed the complex stream of data notifications. There was not a ripple in his eyes—for him, a breakthrough of this level was merely a natural progression, not even worth a moment's pause.
Closing the panel, his gaze became like a sharp blade, piercing through the void of the Thunder Platform and stabbing straight towards the end of the horizon.
There, a dangerous aura that even he instinctively repelled was gathering frantically.
But Jiang Feng felt not a shred of fear. A faint, mocking curve even touched the corner of his lips, and his eyes surged with the confidence to crush everything—if it dared to provoke him, no matter what it was, it would only have a dead end.
In the real world, the four great oceans of Blue Star surged with hundred-meter tidal waves without any warning!
The highest-level air raid sirens of every nation worldwide blared simultaneously, their ear-piercing red warnings tearing through every city.
Above Dongjiang City, China, the clear blue sky was brutally torn open by a pair of invisible giant hands, revealing a massive black rift!
A massive volume of deep blue game data streams, like a celestial river flowing backwards, poured frantically into the real world!
Virtual light spots flickered frantically across the surfaces of reinforced concrete skyscrapers.
The street trees twisted and expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, instantly transforming into corrupt, sky-blocking giant trees from the Demon Realm.
Physical laws collapsed completely. Dozens-of-tons heavy trucks on the streets floated eerily in mid-air, as if devoid of gravity!
The ultimate fusion of the Demon Realm and reality had been forcibly triggered ahead of schedule by Jiang Feng's breakthrough!
Countless ordinary people screamed as they rushed into the streets, looking up at the sky with faces full of despair.
Deep within the endless black rift, a pool of thunder rolled.
A ten-thousand-foot-tall, faceless divine shadow was slowly squeezing its terrifying silhouette out of the real-world sky!
It was the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, the one whose thunder spear had been swallowed in one bite by the Dragon Girl on the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Platform just moments ago!
It had no facial features, only the high and mighty, absolutely indifferent will of the world.
Standing at the end of the higher dimension, it looked down coldly at the tiny Blue Star.
The next instant, the faceless giant head turned slightly. Its cold, hollow "gaze" spanned thousands of dimensions, carrying an intent to eradicate everything, and locked firmly onto a coordinate in reality—Tianshu Dragon Garden!
Atop the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Platform, Jiang Feng seemed to sense something and glanced towards the direction of reality.
There was not a shred of panic in his eyes, only a suffocating coldness.
He took a step forward and stood directly on empty air.
Upon completing the Fourth-Turn Reshape Divine Body, the sound of bones popping like roasted beans erupted within his body.
At this moment, the exclusive divine skill [Divine Tyrant Body] completed its ultimate dimensional evolution!
In an instant, a primordial power that transcended the limits of Blue Star surged wildly through his limbs and bones.
Previously, his attributes had surged too quickly, and an invisible force had been secretly suppressing and repelling him.
At this moment, those shackles of heaven and earth had completely vanished into thin air.
Jiang Feng curled his lips into a cold arc, and in an instant, he understood everything.
That was the fundamental rule shackle of heaven and earth, the so-called Heavenly Dao Shackles.
Unfortunately, this layer of shackles had long since been crushed to pieces by him.
He stood in mid-air, not relying on a shred of magic power, stepping firmly upon the void.
With a sweep of his gaze, he could see through the thin lines of laws flowing through the surrounding space.
Those world rules that had once made thousands of Awakened bow down in worship were, in his eyes, nothing more than balls of crude yarn.
The Great Dao of becoming a god at level 1000 was completely flattened by him with a single step.
Rumble! Above the sky where the Demon Realm and reality overlapped, that ten-thousand-foot-tall faceless divine shadow slowly lowered its head.
Its faceless visage exuded a supreme pressure capable of freezing the souls of billions.
A grand, emotionless voice boomed directly across the sky of the two worlds:
"An anomaly, you are quite impressive."
The voice was devoid of sorrow or joy, carrying an inherent arrogance.
"For countless years, you are the only ant to have swallowed the heavenly tribulation with a mortal body and broken the world's limits. Your aptitude is one in ten thousand."
The Heavenly Dao understatedly acknowledged Jiang Feng's strength.
But the next second, the void shook violently, and its voice became bone-chillingly cold, carrying a terrifying, irresistible pressure as it boomed:
"But, you are ultimately just a creature within this cage!"
"You should understand that among all worlds, only I can determine life and death! An arm cannot twist a thigh; no matter how heaven-defying your power is, you cannot transcend my destiny!"
"Now, I grant you a grace."
The Heavenly Dao's hollow eye sockets locked onto Jiang Feng's figure, its tone arrogant to the extreme: "Hand over the secret of how you ignore the laws, sign a contract, and become my agent in the human realm! From now on, every move you make must be reported to me!"
"As a reward, I grant you eternal life. Otherwise..."
The giant divine shadow slowly turned its neck, its gaze spanning countless dimensions, precisely locking onto the location of Tianshu Dragon Garden in Dongjiang City.
"Everything at that coordinate you cherish, along with your cultivation, will be reduced to ashes!"
A naked threat, pressure without any bottom line!
The high and mighty Heavenly Dao had actually treated Jiang Feng's parents and family as the cheapest bargaining chips!
In this instant, the global live streams and forums fell into an eerie silence.
Three short seconds later, public opinion erupted like a volcano! The barrage of comments was too fast for the naked eye to catch, scrolling frantically!
"Holy sh*t! My CPU is fried! The Heavenly Dao personally stepped in? This is the absolute ruler of the game and reality!"
"It's over! No matter how outrageous the combat power of Boss Qingfeng is, he can't possibly beat the server's main brain, right?!"
"The Heavenly Dao is actually actively recruiting him? This treatment is maxed out! If Boss Qingfeng nods, he'll be the genuine spokesperson of the gods!"
"I would have knelt long ago! So what if you're a dog for the Heavenly Dao? You'd save ten thousand years of detours and keep your family safe. Only an idiot wouldn't agree!"
Western players were still frantically marveling at the authority of the Heavenly Dao, but countless hot-blooded players in the China region had already turned red with rage, the barrage exploding:
"Be a dog? In your dreams! Our foster father Qingfeng has crushed his way through everything relying on his own fists, not by begging for mercy!"
"The Heavenly Dao is a piece of sh*t! If it can't win, it threatens someone's parents; it's degenerate to the bone!"
"Dignity is more important than life! Once Boss Qingfeng bows his head, the backbone of China will be completely broken!"
The live stream instantly turned into a chaotic mess, with despair, fanaticism, and humiliation stirred together; the atmosphere of the entire Blue Star was on the verge of collapse.
