140: Chapter 140 Break Through!

However, this half-hour of high-pressure combat had allowed Lin Yuan to thoroughly figure out the attack patterns of this Dharma Idol!

"This won't do. If we keep dragging this out, I'll definitely be the first one to be drained dry."

After dodging a sweep with a backflip, Lin Yuan knelt on one knee on the steps, his chest heaving violently.

More than half of the true qi in his body had been consumed.

He had to find a way to break through the Dharma Idol's defensive line, get in close, and disrupt the energy hub of the headless giant on the throne!

Otherwise, under this ten-thousand-fold gravity, he would sooner or later be exhausted to death.

"System, stop playing dead!"

"Since you've updated with such an overpowered cheat, if I don't use it now, when will I?"

"Lock onto that Dharma Idol for me!"

"Dimensional Reduction Deprivation!!!"

Lin Yuan made a distant grasping motion toward the thousand-foot-tall Ancient God-Demon Dharma Idol, attempting to repeat his old trick. He wanted to use the trump card he had used against the Cardinal to forcibly weaken the energy level of this Dharma Idol!

However, one second passed. Two seconds passed.

The dark gold law chains that disregarded everything, which he had expected, did not appear.

The Dharma Idol's movements did not weaken in the slightest; instead, it raised its giant hammer even more violently.

[Ding! System Prompt: Dimensional Reduction Deprivation activation failed!]

[Reason Detection: The current target is a pure 'Ancient Law Agglomeration', possesses no physical body, has no life realm classification, and does not meet the activation conditions for 'Dimensional Reduction Deprivation'!]

"Damn it!!!"

Lin Yuan couldn't help but curse, narrowly performing a side roll to dodge the giant hammer that smashed down, grazing his scalp.

The system was not omnipotent. Faced with such an inanimate object materialized from pure Great Dao laws, an energy entity without the concept of a realm, the heaven-defying cheat of Dimensional Reduction Deprivation, which was specifically designed for cultivators, became useless!

This also completely cut off Lin Yuan's idea of trying to clear the stage by taking a shortcut.

"It seems the ancestors are determined to test my true strength."

Lin Yuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and cast his gaze past the berserk Dharma Idol, locking onto the end of the ninety-nine steps, the headless giant sitting on the throne, and the broken spear flickering with a ghostly blue light in its chest.

That was the core formation eye of the entire trial!

As long as he could cross the remaining ninety-seven steps and smash that broken spear, this Dharma Idol would collapse on its own!

However, under ten-thousand-fold gravity and the Dharma Idol's bombardment, how could he instantly cross such a long distance?

Just as Lin Yuan's brain was spinning rapidly, his peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of the ancient decorations scattered on both sides of the steps.

Among them was an ancient giant dragon skull, several dozen meters long and entirely grayish-white!

It lay there quietly, like a natural, incomparably massive tower shield.

"Got it!"

"Boom!"

The Ancient God-Demon Dharma Idol's six arms raised simultaneously, and the three bronze giant hammers merged into one in mid-air, transforming into a world-ending hammer that blotted out the sky.

This was clearly the Dharma Idol's fatal strike, charged for a long time!

This hammer strike locked down all space, and its power was many times greater than the first strike!

In the distance, even just watching, Dragon Battle and Ancient Sword Soul felt as if their souls were about to be crushed.

"Captain! Retreat quickly!!!"

However, contrary to everyone's expectations.

Facing this fatal third hammer strike, not only did Lin Yuan not retreat, he suddenly put away the slaying abyss in his hand. His eyes erupted with brilliant golden light, and vast Spiritual Telekinesis surged out like a tsunami!

"Get up... for me!"

Lin Yuan grabbed the air with both hands.

Under his Spiritual Telekinesis, that incredibly heavy ancient giant dragon skull was actually forced to fly up from the side of the steps, blocking directly above Lin Yuan!

Lin Yuan curled up behind the dragon skull's massive eye socket, crossing his arms to protect his chest, adopting a posture of absolute defense!

"Is he crazy?! Using a bone to hard-resist a law hammer?!" Ancient Sword Soul gasped in shock.

The next second.

Rumble——————!!!

That world-ending giant hammer, gathering all the strength of the Dharma Idol, smashed onto that ancient giant dragon skull with the terrifying posture of a falling meteorite!

An indescribably terrifying roar exploded within the temple!

That hard skull, which once belonged to a hegemon of the starry sky, let out a desperate moan the moment it made contact. Countless cracks spread wildly like spiderwebs, and then... it exploded into a sky full of bone fragments!

But this short, less than 0.1-second obstruction was already enough!

"Now is the time!!!"

Hiding beneath the dragon bone, Lin Yuan did not resist this destructive recoil. Instead, he actively let go of his body's defenses, completely exposing himself to this terrifying kinetic energy!

Borrowing force to strike! Seeking life through death!

"Bang!!!"

He directly ignored the ten-thousand-fold gravity on the steps and ignored the space locked down by the Dharma Idol!

Carving a blood-colored afterimage in mid-air, straight and madly...

He crossed those unreachable ninety-seven bronze steps!

And smashed directly toward the headless giant on the throne with the broken spear stuck in its chest!

Rumbling————!!!

Violent air waves tore past his ears. The ten-thousand-fold gravity tried to forcibly crush him in mid-air. The True Dragon Scales on his body emitted cracking sounds, and blood splattered in mid-air like raindrops.

But he stared fixedly at the throne, without even a trace of wavering.

"Break... for me!!!"

Bang!

Lin Yuan's feet slammed onto the ninety-ninth step, which was the highest bronze step!

The massive impact caused cracks to explode on the surface of the indestructible steps.

Lin Yuan knelt on one knee, panting heavily, but he was finally, truly standing in front of this hundred-meter-tall headless bronze giant!

Looking up at close range, that terrifying sense of oppression from the Ancient God-Demon was enough to make any living creature tremble in fear.

But Lin Yuan did not retreat; his gaze passed over the giant and locked onto the very center of its chest!

There, a broken spear was embedded.

The spear was pitch black, with cold, ghostly blue runes flowing across its surface.

This aura was completely different from the desolate and vast grandeur of the Bronze Temple; it was filled with the dark, predatory stench of the alien races!

"So that's how it is..."

Lin Yuan understood instantly, and monstrous killing intent erupted from his eyes.

This headless giant, who was an ancient ancestor of Earth, had already died in battle long ago!

The three-headed, six-armed Dharma Idol that had just condensed was not the ancestor making things difficult for a descendant at all. Instead, it was this "alien broken spear" stuck in the heart that was using the ancestor's remaining shell and laws to turn it into an indiscriminate killing machine!

This was the Cursed Spear that the various races used in the ancient era to nail down Ancient God-Demons and suppress the bloodline of Earth!

"How dare you use my ancestor's remains as a puppet..."

Lin Yuan slowly stood up, his eyes burning with extreme rage.

Ignoring the world-ending giant hammer about to smash down from the Dharma Idol behind him, he launched himself like a cannonball, lunging directly toward the giant's chest!
