514: Chapter 449: The Lord Appears, His God-King Level Aura is Terrifying

Seven days after the Space Compression Array compressed the Guixu rift to one hundred kilometers, gray-white Guixu energy surged from the depths of the rift again.

It was not a trickle, but like a bursting dam.

Twelve of the three hundred space Anchor Points developed cracks under the energy impact; Li Mo urgently repaired ten of them, but the other two were completely destroyed.

The width of the rift rebounded from one hundred kilometers to one hundred and fifty kilometers, and the fifth wave of beasts surged out.

This time, there was no overwhelming sea of beasts.

Walking out of the rift were twelve God King-level Lords.

There were no low-level Chaos Beasts, no Beast Emperors, only twelve giant beasts of different shapes but equally terrifying.

They ranged in size from one hundred to three hundred kilometers, were dark red all over, and their surfaces were covered with dense Guixu runes.

Their eyes were gray-white flames, with no pupils, only emptiness.

Their bodies were shrouded in a layer of gray-white halo—the Chaos Domain.

[God King-level Lord · Data]

- Quantity: 12

- Rank: LV3200 - LV3800

- Size: 100-300 km

- Trait 1: Chaos Domain — All non-Chaos rules within the range are invalidated

- Trait 2: God King Pressure — The divine fire of units below Lesser Divinity within the range flickers, and combat power is halved

- Trait 3: Guixu Devouring — Can devour divine kingdom wreckage within the range, recovering 1% integrity per second

- Weakness: Fire of Civilization (Damage +2000%)

The twelve Lords stepped forward simultaneously, walking toward the Great Wall of Civilization.

Their footsteps were heavy, causing the Void Realm to tremble with every step.

The Chaos Domains overlapped, covering a circular area with a diameter of five thousand kilometers, shrouding the entire Iron Wall Fortress and the Great Wall of Civilization within it.

Within the range of the Domain, all non-Chaos rules began to fail—the Net of Law of the School of Law could not condense, the mechanism arts of the School of Mohism could not be activated, the Formation of the School of Dao could not operate, and the morale boost of the School of Military dissipated.

[Chaos Domain · Effect]

- Coverage: 5000 km diameter

- Effect 1: Non-Chaos rules invalidated

- Effect 2: Guixu energy concentration +300%

- Effect 3: God King Pressure — The divine fire of units below Lesser Divinity within the range flickers, and combat power is halved

Inside the fortress, soldiers with a godhead Rank below LV500 simultaneously felt their divine fire shaking violently.

Their godhead integrity dropped at a rate of one percent per second, and their combat power plummeted by fifty percent.

Some new recruits fell directly to their knees, their divine fire almost extinguished.

The inscriptions on the Great Wall of Civilization were still glowing, but the light had dimmed by more than half.

The heroic spirit projections became transparent, unable to maintain their complete forms.

The Flying Swords hung in mid-air, the cyan-gold light on their blades suppressed by the gray-white color.

"Captain, the Chaos Domain has suppressed our rules!" Li Mo's electronic voice carried unprecedented panic, "The Net of Law has failed, the Iron Wall Guardian Array has failed, the Space Folding Cannon has failed, and the power of the Fire of Civilization has also dropped by fifty percent."

Lin Zhou stood above the city gate, the river of civilization flowing around him, the cyan-gold light shrouding him and his surrounding comrades.

But his own godhead was also under immense pressure—the Chaos Domain was attempting to negate the "existence" of the Fire of Civilization, while the Fire of Civilization was resisting.

The two rules collided, and countless tiny sparks erupted in the Void Realm.

"Do not panic." Lin Zhou's voice was calm, yet it clearly reached the ears of every soldier, "The Chaos Domain can only suppress rules, not faith. Your Fire of Civilization is still there, just suppressed. Believe in yourselves, believe in your comrades."

He raised his hand, the river of civilization surging out of his divine kingdom, turning into a cyan-gold torrent flowing along the walls of the Great Wall of Civilization.

Wherever the river passed, the Chaos Domain was temporarily pushed aside, and the inscriptions lit up again.

[river of civilization · Opposing Chaos Domain]

- Coverage: 10 km diameter (Great Wall of Civilization area)

- Effect: Chaos Domain suppressed by 50%, non-Chaos rules partially recovered

- Consumption: 200,000 Divine Power per minute

"All troops, get on the city wall!" Lin Zhou ordered.

The soldiers struggled to climb the city wall, and under the protection of the river of civilization, their divine fire gradually stabilized.

The decline in godhead integrity stopped, and combat power recovered to eighty percent.

But Wang Meng noticed that for those soldiers with a godhead Rank below LV500, their divine fire was still flickering slightly.

Although their godhead integrity was no longer dropping, they could not use any skills and could only rely on basic physical strength to fight.

"Captain, the new recruits cannot use skills." Wang Meng's voice came from the eastern section of the wall.

"Then use swords. The Sword of Civilization does not need skills, only faith."

Wang Meng gritted his teeth, pulled a Flying Sword from the city wall, and threw it to a new recruit beside him.

"Hold it, believe in yourself."

The new recruit gripped the hilt, and the cyan-gold light on the sword blade glowed slightly.

It was not a skill, but the will of the sword itself—every Flying Sword in the Shushan Sword Tomb had a sword spirit.

The sword spirit sensed the new recruit's faith and resonated with his godhead.

The new recruit's divine fire stabilized; although he could not release skills, at least it would not be extinguished.

The twelve Lords approached.

They were only five hundred kilometers away from the Great Wall of Civilization.

As their Chaos Domains overlapped, the consumption of the river of civilization soared from 200,000 to 500,000 Divine Power per minute.

Lin Zhou's Divine Power reserves were dropping at a visible rate.

"Rune Turrets—fire!"

One hundred and fifty Rune Turrets fired simultaneously, and one hundred and fifty cyan-gold beams of light shot toward the Lords.

But the runes of the turrets were suppressed within the Chaos Domain, and the power of the beams was only thirty percent of normal.

The beams hit the Lords' shields, only stirring up ripples without causing substantial damage.

[Rune Turret · First Volley]

- Power: 30% of normal

- Effect: Lord shield integrity 100% → 99%

- Consumption: 1000 Divine Power each

"Space Folding Cannon—fire!"

Three Space Folding Cannons started simultaneously, and silver-white light tore three cracks in the Void Realm.

But the rule suppression of the Chaos Domain caused the efficiency of space folding to drop significantly, and the cracks collapsed on their own after only three seconds, failing to teleport any of the Lords.

Lei Zhan led the heavy armored legion to charge out of the fortress.

Three thousand Iron Rock Giants raised their giant shields, the shield wall teetering in the Chaos Domain.

The defensive runes on the shields were suppressed, and durability dropped at a rate of five percent per second.

"Lei Zhan, retreat!" Lin Zhou shouted.

"Can't retreat!" Lei Zhan gritted his teeth, "Once the shield wall retreats, the Chaos Domain will press onto the city wall."

"Then hold your ground."

Lin Zhou leaped down from the city wall and flew toward the twelve Lords.

Dragon Vein Golden Scale followed closely behind, its Dragon Breath burning a crack into one of the Lords' shields.

Su Yueyao's moonlight was suppressed in the Chaos Domain, the silver-white light only able to cover a hundred meters around her.

Iron Face's Fire of Justice could not condense, unable to perform existence judgment.

Chen Xuan's School of Names' Separating Hardness and Whiteness failed, unable to strip away the Lords' defensive attributes.

Qin Qing's Net of Law could not be deployed.

Wang Meng's Civilization Sword Cultivator could not fly with swords, and could only run on the ground holding a Flying Sword.

[Civilization Guardian Legion · Status]

- Usable skills: None (Chaos Domain suppression)

- Combat method: Basic physical strength + melee with Sword of Civilization

- Effective combat power: 30% of normal

Lin Zhou's river of civilization was like a lone boat sailing against the current in the Chaos Domain.

Its light was particularly striking in the gray-white Void Realm, but it was being suppressed.

The flow rate of the river was slowing down, and the water level was dropping.

"Civilization Judgment—Define!" Lin Zhou raised his hand, and a cyan-gold beam of light shot toward the nearest Lord.

[Civilization Judgment · Effect]

- Chaos Domain suppression: Power reduced by 50%

- Lord shield integrity: 100% → 90%

The power of the beam was only half of normal, unable to pierce the shield.

The Lord counterattacked, and gray-white tentacles lashed at Lin Zhou.

Lin Zhou dodged, the tentacles grazing his shoulder.

His godhead integrity dropped from eighty percent to seventy-five percent, but no memories were lost—the Chaos Domain only suppresses rules, it does not delete existence.

Dragon Vein Golden Scale rushed toward the Lord, slamming its body into the shield.

The shield shook, and the scales of the Golden Scale shattered.

Wang Meng led the Vanguard Battalion to rush to the feet of the Lords, hacking at the Lords' toes with Flying Swords.

The sword light of the Flying Swords dimmed by more than half in the Chaos Domain, but the attached Fire of Civilization was still burning.

Every hack left a shallow mark on the Lord's scales.

Lei Zhan's shield wall held off the impact of three Lords.

Half of the Iron Rock Giants' shields were shattered, but they used their bodies to block the Lords' advance.

Qin Qing rushed down from the city wall, using the basic technique of the School of Law's "Holding Names Responsible for Reality"—not relying on skills, only relying on faith—to stabilize her own existence.

Her godhead was stable in the Chaos Domain and did not drop.

Iron Face also rushed down.

Although the Fire of Justice could not be condensed into a skill, the flame itself was still burning.

He smeared the flame onto the Flying Swords and handed them to the soldiers beside him.

"Use this."

The soldiers took the Flying Swords, and the Fire of Justice on the sword blades intertwined with the Fire of Civilization, erupting with blinding light in the Chaos Domain.

[Fire of Justice · Effect]

- Chaos Domain suppression: Fire of Justice can partially resist

- Flying Sword power: Increased to 50% of normal

Lin Zhou saw this scene.

The Fire of Justice and the Fire of Civilization could be superimposed to resist the Chaos Domain.

He split a tributary from the river of civilization and injected it into every Flying Sword.

The cyan-gold light on the sword blades lit up again; although it was not as bright as in the normal state, it could already be used barely.

"Everyone, use weapons attached with the Fire of Civilization. Melee combat!"

Twelve thousand soldiers drew their Flying Swords and charged toward the twelve Lords.

They could not fly and could only run on the ground.

Their skills could not be used, and they could only rely on basic physical strength.

But there was fire on their swords, and there was faith in their hearts.

The battle lasted for three days and three nights.

Eight of the twelve Lords were killed, and the remaining four escaped back to the rift, heavily injured.

The Civilization Guardian Legion suffered two thousand deaths, three thousand seriously injured, and five thousand lightly injured.

Lin Zhou's godhead integrity dropped to sixty percent, his Divine Power reserves were exhausted, and the water level of the river of civilization dropped to one hundred percent.

[Battle · Summary]

- Killed God King-level Lords: 8

- Our losses: 2000 dead, 3000 seriously injured, 5000 lightly injured

- Lin Zhou's Divine Power consumption: Approximately 8 million

- Lin Zhou's godhead integrity: 80% → 60%

- river of civilization water level: 130% → 100%

Lin Zhou knelt on one knee on the ruins of the city wall, panting heavily.

Su Yueyao's moonlight shrouded him, repairing the cracks in his godhead.

Dragon Vein Golden Scale lay beside him, most of its scales shattered, and golden blood still flowing.

"Captain, the rift is starting to expand again." Li Mo's voice came from the communication link, "Twenty more space Anchor Points have been destroyed. The rift width has expanded from one hundred and fifty kilometers to two hundred kilometers."

"Can it still be repaired?"

"Yes. But it needs time. At least seven days."

Lin Zhou stood up and looked at the rift that was slowly expanding.

In the gray-white mist, dark red light spots were still flickering.

The main body of the Lord of Nothingness might come out at any time.

"Repair it. Seven days."

He turned and walked toward the medical room.

Seven days was the last breathing time for the Civilization Guardian Legion.
