152: Chapter 155 The Arrival of the Eighth Rank!

The Garrison Commander's eyes were nearly popping out of their sockets as he frantically hammered away at the console, attempting to sever the physical connection in a desperate bid to regain control.

"He is just an Earth native who only cultivates his physical body; he doesn't even have divine sense! How could he possibly hack into our Eighth-Rank core AI?! How?!"

Just as he was on the verge of a breakdown, a lazy, mocking voice—yet one laced with endless killing intent—suddenly echoed through the control room's ship-wide broadcast:

"Your formation is not bad. Now, it belongs to me."

It was Lin Yuan's voice!

This voice not only reverberated within the control room but, through the communication network now completely taken over by Lin Yuan, resounded across every corner of the fleet of hundreds of ships in outer space!

"It's over..." The Garrison Commander felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, trembling all over.

"Snap!"

Accompanied by Lin Yuan snapping his fingers within the formation.

That high-dimensional AI kill formation, touted as capable of strangling everything, instantly melted away like snow, dissipating inside the flagship.

But this was merely the beginning!

In outer space, the Tianming Star fleet, which had originally surrounded the Kunlun so tightly that not even water could trickle through, suddenly fell into a collective dead silence.

The energy shields on the surfaces of the hundreds of heavy warships flickered twice simultaneously, and then... they all went dark! Total paralysis!

Like toys with their power pulled, the defense systems of all the warships were wiped out in an instant!

What made all the Cult of the Machine God members even more terrified was that one-third of the warships in the fleet had their massive main cannons slowly turn, without any human intervention.

And the targets they locked onto were actually the friendly warships beside them that had completely lost their shield protection!

"Fire."

"Boom, boom, boom, boom—!!!"

In the pitch-black universe, a series of incredibly brilliant explosion flashes erupted instantly.

Dozens of Cult of the Machine God warships instantly turned into balls of burning scrap metal under the concentrated fire of their own main cannons!

"Ahhhhh! Earth native, I will tear you into ten thousand pieces!!!"

Inside the control room, watching his own fleet slaughter each other and having his control seized by Lin Yuan without a single drop of blood shed, the Eighth-Rank Garrison Commander completely descended into madness!

Electric arcs erupted from most of his body, and the domain power belonging to an Eighth-Rank Grandmaster exploded outwards.

Since technology was useless, then he would engage in hand-to-hand combat!

"Bang!"

The Garrison Commander smashed through the thick isolation doors of the control room, carrying the power to destroy heaven and earth, and charged straight toward the cabin where Lin Yuan was located!

"What's the rush?"

Lin Yuan's lips curled up, revealing a sinister grin more villainous than any villain: "Not only am I going to freeload off your ship, but I'm also going to drain your blood!"

"Rumble—!!!"

A heaven-shaking loud noise!

That ten-meter-thick super-alloy door was instantly blasted into dust by a terrifying force, as if it were a fragile biscuit!

Violent shockwaves mixed with plasma surged in frantically like a bursting flood.

"Beep, beep, beep—Warning! Eighth-Rank lifeform energy signature detected!"

"Warning! Internal armor damage rate of the flagship is rising sharply!"

Piercing alarm sounds echoed crazily in the control room.

Amidst the billowing dust, a terrifying figure three meters tall charged out, carrying monstrous rage!

The supreme commander of the Tianming Star Branch, the Eighth-Rank Garrison Commander, had arrived!

Even though the central AI had been forcibly cut off, his physical body was the real deal—at the level of an Eighth-Rank Grandmaster!

Just by standing there, that terrifying pressure caused the surrounding space to distort visibly to the naked eye!

"A bunch of lowly species that haven't even set foot in the starry sky... how dare you destroy the foundation of my Cult! I will rip out your souls and burn them in the furnace for ten thousand years!!"

He took a sudden step forward, and at this moment, the exclusive domain of an Eighth-Rank Grandmaster unfurled without reservation—

Quantum Annihilation Force Field!

"Hum—!"

A layer of gray-black, terrifying force field centered on him instantly swept through the entire control room.

Wherever the force field passed, the air was directly sucked dry, and even light seemed to be swallowed.

The Asura Army soldiers who were originally in the hall stiffened, as if they had fallen into the deep-sea mire.

Then, they vanished into ash and dust!

Wherever it reached, no one could withstand it!

This was the crushing power of an Eighth-Rank Grandmaster!

In the face of an absolute domain, low-level beings didn't even have the qualifications to attack!

"Ants are just ants."

But he didn't even spare a glance at these Asura Army soldiers; his electronic eyes locked onto the young man standing with his hands behind his back.

Intuition told him that the young man, who seemingly only had a Fourth-Rank energy signature, was the culprit behind all of this!

"Die for me!!!"

He directly unleashed the Cult of the Machine God's high-level ultimate technique—Star Core Fission Fist!

The mechanical right arm instantly swelled by more than double, and the high temperature reaching tens of thousands of degrees instantly vaporized the floor along its path!

This punch, carrying the power to destroy cities and sever rivers, smashed down toward the top of Lin Yuan's head!

Facing this heaven-destroying ultimate strike, there was not a trace of panic on Lin Yuan's face.

"Eighth-Rank Grandmaster? Mechanical Demigod?"

"Playing with pure physical output against me? You, a piece of scrap metal... are you worthy?!"

Lin Yuan did not retreat but advanced instead, his right leg kicking backward violently!

Accompanied by his movement, the golden divine blood in his body began to boil crazily! Passive skill, Titan Divine Power, fully awakened!

Muscles bulged like steel cables, and his spine roared as if a primordial true dragon resided within.

A full 2,000 tons of force was compressed entirely into his right fist, and he struck out fiercely to meet that deep-blue meteor!

A basic attack is the ultimate move!

The two fists, one big and one small, collided in the vacuum!

"Boom—————!!!"

The moment of impact, the whole world seemed to lose its sound.

Immediately after, a physical shockwave indescribable in words swept wildly in all directions, centered on where the two clashed!

The internal deck of the Kunlun was actually cracked by this pure physical kinetic energy, creating terrifying fissures stretching for thousands of meters!

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" The surrounding Asura Army soldiers were shaken back repeatedly by the aftershock, their eyes filled with unconcealable shock.

"The Lord actually... caught an Eighth-Rank nuclear fusion ultimate strike with his bare hands?!" An Asura Army deputy general exclaimed, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

The dust gradually dispersed, revealing the scene at the center of the collision.

The whole place was deathly silent!

Only to see Lin Yuan maintaining his punching posture in the crater that was over ten meters deep.

The clothing on his upper body had been completely torn apart in the previous gale.

And beneath his fair skin, dark golden patterns were currently flowing, emitting an ancient aura that made the soul tremble!

In that heaven-destroying collision just now, Lin Yuan... had only taken half a step back!

On the other hand, that arrogant Eighth-Rank Garrison Commander—

"This... this is impossible..."

The Garrison Commander's body was trembling violently.

That right arm made of Eighth-Rank metal... was now actually smashed and sunken in!
