133: Chapter 133 Death Countdown

Boom!

A violent explosion!

That power core, emitting Seventh-Rank energy fluctuations, was smashed to pieces by the God-Bone!

A miniature mushroom cloud rose into the air on the spot!

As the smoke cleared, Lin Yuan panted, leaning on the God-Bone.

At his feet, the Seventh-Rank Mechanical Grandmaster, who had been high and mighty just a second ago, was now reduced to a pile of scrap metal that even a scrapyard wouldn't want.

Silence.

Whether it was Dragon Battle and the others, or the Mechanical elite pursuers who had not yet approached from afar.

Everyone stared blankly at the human carrying the divine rib, covered in blood.

A Seventh-Rank Grandmaster.

Killed by a cripple who had lost all true energy and internal force, judged by the system as "energy depleted."

Using a bone.

Beaten to death?

"Pfft—!"

As the core of the Seventh-Rank judgment was completely smashed, Lin Yuan's nerves, stretched to their limit, finally relaxed just a fraction.

A mouthful of blood mixed with bits of internal organs sprayed from his mouth.

It was too tragic.

Without true energy to protect his body, relying solely on his physical flesh to smash a Seventh-Rank Grandmaster to death was a suicidal tactic that defied the laws of the universe.

At this moment, Lin Yuan's internal organs felt displaced, and the webbing between his thumbs was completely torn.

He leaned on the ancient God-Bone stained with machine oil, staring fixedly at the blood-red numbers in the upper right corner of his retina:

【System in deep sleep upgrade: 00:59:10】

Less than an hour left.

As long as he could survive this last hour, the system would reboot, and he would be able to instantly recover to full health with the massive resources in his storage ring.

However, in this Burial Ground of the Gods where even light could not escape, fate did not seem intended to give him this final chance to breathe.

"Hummmm—!"

Without warning, the high-dimensional black mist that never dissipated suddenly seemed to encounter some extremely terrifying repulsive force and was instantly forcibly dispersed!

The space within a radius of a hundred miles was, at this moment, like a frozen ice block, completely locked down!

"What's going on?!" Dragon Battle raised his head with difficulty.

The sky had split open.

In the deep, boundless dark void above their heads, a terrifying space crack tens of thousands of meters long was slowly torn open.

Immediately after, a ten-thousand-meter giant hand, as if pushing aside a curtain, forcibly pushed aside the high-dimensional mist!

Accompanying the appearance of the giant hand, a majestic figure draped in a scarlet robe, with most of its body already integrated into the interstellar warship's central hub, slowly emerged above the void.

Cult of the Machine God · Red-Robed Archbishop!

An Eighth-Rank Great Expert in the early stage, capable of plucking stars and grasping the moon!

To retrieve that stolen drop of divine origin blood, the Cult of the Machine God had actually dispatched an Eighth-Rank Archbishop, enough to suppress the entire Hundred Cities Alliance, to personally take the field!

"Boom!"

The moment the natural pressure inherent to an Eighth-Rank Great Expert descended on the edge of the abyss, it felt like ten thousand Primordial Divine Mountains crashing down at once!

"Ahhh!"

Dragon Battle, Ancient Sword Soul, and Ji Hongyi couldn't even hold on for a second; they were pressed directly onto the rock layer by this indescribably terrifying pressure, their seven orifices bleeding wildly.

This was true despair.

In front of an Eighth-Rank, any Fourth-Rank genius, any cross-rank counter-kill, all became ridiculous phantoms.

This was an absolute crushing of the life dimension!

And as the primary target of this pressure, Lin Yuan only felt as if a neutron star was pressing down on his shoulders.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

His legs trembled uncontrollably, his knees bending downward bit by bit.

On his already riddled skin, blood vessels burst one after another, and dark golden blood flowed down his thighs, staining the rock layer beneath his feet in a shocking manner.

"Die."

He did not waste words, did not interrogate, and did not even glance at Lin Yuan again.

For an Eighth-Rank Great Expert, there was no need for a reason to crush a bug; he would extract the divine blood from this pile of meat paste himself.

Following the fall of that ice-cold word "Die."

That heaven-covering ten-thousand-meter mechanical giant hand, carrying a destructive storm that crushed the void, slammed down toward the location of Lin Yuan and the others like swatting a fly!

Before the giant hand even landed, the terrifying wind pressure had already caused the rock layer at the edge of the abyss to collapse on a large scale!

"Captain... don't worry about us..." Dragon Battle lay in a pool of blood, letting out a desperate roar.

"Stand up..."

In the gale that felt like the arrival of the apocalypse.

"My knees..."

Lin Yuan's eyes had completely turned blood-red, the golden vertical pupils deep within his eyes like burning suns.

"Only kneel to parents, never to the gods and Buddhas in the sky!!!"

"Get up for me...!!!"

With a wild roar, Lin Yuan actually stopped the tendency to kneel under this pressure that even crushed space!

He not only straightened his body but also crazily raised the three-meter-long ancient God-Bone in his hand, firmly holding up the shadow of death pressing down!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Lin Yuan's arms shattered inch by inch at this moment!

Countless capillaries burst simultaneously, erupting into clusters of blood mist!

He had completely turned into a bloody person, tragic to the extreme!

The rock layer beneath his feet was stepped into a deep pit with a diameter of hundreds of meters, but the God-Bone in his hand was like a needle fixing the sea, refusing to retreat!

He was using his life, his soul, to hard-resist the divine might of the Eighth-Rank!

And at this moment, the countdown in the upper right corner of his retina had jumped to the final moment:

00:00:10

00:00:09

00:00:08

The giant hand continued to press down, the God-Bone began to bend, Lin Yuan's seven orifices were spraying blood wildly, his consciousness was on the verge of blurring, and he was holding on solely by a single obsession!

00:00:03

00:00:02

00:00:01!

Zero.

"Beep——"

A system notification sound that seemed to come from the beginning of the universe exploded in the deepest part of Lin Yuan's collapsing consciousness!

【Ding! System 3.0 major version 'Ragnarok' update complete!】

【High-dimensional authority fully unlocked!】

【Primordial divine origin blood fusion complete! God-Demon Body Forging third stage ultimate transformation complete!】

【Detected host vital signs critical, one-click injury repair function... activated!】

Just at the critical moment when that giant hand was less than ten meters from Lin Yuan's head!

A high-dimensional law torrent that could not be described in words, a hundred times more terrifying than the Eighth-Rank Archbishop in the sky, suddenly erupted with Lin Yuan's body as the center!

A stream of pure dark golden divine light!

It ignored the blockade of space, ignored the pressure of the Eighth-Rank, and turned into a pillar of light that pierced through heaven and earth!

"What is that?!!"

Above the firmament, the originally expressionless Red-Robed Archbishop of the Cult of the Machine God saw his compound eyes shrink to the extreme in an instant.

He watched in horror as his ten-thousand-meter giant hand, crafted from star alloy, upon touching that dark golden pillar of light, actually acted like ice meeting a ten-thousand-degree fire, unable to resist for even a second.

It started vaporizing directly from the fingertips, annihilating into nothingness!
