182: Chapter 182 The Battle to Knock on the Gate

When this giant gate, larger than the sun, fully opened, what poured out from the crack was no longer the dead silence and darkness of the periphery, but a starlight so brilliant it could blind the eyes!

The true heart of the armory—the true face of the Core Micro-Universe!

Countless interstellar canals intertwined in the void, and massive celestial bodies were spewing forth God-Demon Tribulation Fire.

Faintly visible in the deepest reaches of that universe were Primordial Divine Temples floating, each radiating the pressure of the Ninth Rank.

"Old Gu, Ji Hongyi, Dragon Battle!"

Lin Yuan's blade pointed toward the brilliant galaxy behind the bronze gate, his ten thousand tons of blood qi surging through the starry sky:

"All troops, set out!"

"Follow me into the city to take over the inheritance!"

"All troops, enter the city!"

Lin Yuan stood at the very front of the Kunlun, his large hand swinging down resolutely.

Rumble—!

The three great Yanhuang star destroyer fleets went to full throttle, spewing plasma tails ten thousand meters long.

Twenty thousand members of the Asura Army, piloting the Commander-class God-Demon Mechas they had just taken over, surrounded the central flagship and crossed the threshold of the giant bronze gate in a grand procession.

"Buzz!!!!"

Without any warning, a gravity field terrifying enough to cause space to completely collapse, like billions of Primordial Divine Mountains, smashed directly onto everyone's heads!

One hundred thousand times standard gravity!

"Crack!"

The originally indestructible Nebula-class star destroyer let out an instantaneous wail under the crushing force of this sudden hundred-thousand-fold gravity!

Inside the warships, everything was thrown into chaos.

"Bang!"

Dragon Battle, who had just finished merging with his mecha and whose blood qi was still surging, was slapped directly onto the deck by this gravity.

Every bone in his body popped and cracked; even lifting a single finger became incredibly difficult as he gasped heavily for air.

"Ugh..."

Ancient Sword Soul and Ji Hongyi, the two Grandmasters who had just stepped into the Seventh Rank, were also not spared.

Before the two could even fully raise their Astral Qi, their legs buckled, and they were forced to their knees by the terrifying gravity, the alloy floor beneath them shattering into a spiderweb pattern.

One hundred thousand times gravity!

If a martial artist below the Seventh Rank stepped into this place unprepared, they would be instantly crushed into a puddle of flesh by their own weight!

While the entire army was pressed down so hard they couldn't lift their heads, only one person remained standing tall at the very front of the bridge.

Lin Yuan.

One hundred thousand times gravity smashed onto his shoulders, yet it failed to bend his back even a fraction.

"A hundred thousand times gravity... The ancestors' tastes are certainly hardcore."

Lin Yuan cracked his neck as divine runes slowly circulated beneath his skin, neutralizing the gravity field that was strong enough to crush a planetary core.

It took a full ten minutes for the army, aided by the auxiliary power of the God-Demon Mechas and the resilience of their Ancient Bloodlines, to barely adapt to the pressure of this space and slowly stabilize their formation.

Everyone struggled to lift their heads and look out.

After seeing the scene before them, everyone's breath caught in their throats.

The inner city behind the giant bronze gate was actually a vast and boundless "Primitive Starry Sky Continent" filled with a savage aura!

The area of the continent was comparable to the fusion of hundreds or thousands of Earths.

What grew on the land were not ordinary plants at all, but towering vegetation rising from the ground.

"Roar!!!!"

Suddenly, a series of beastly roars echoed from the deepest jungles of the continent!

Along with the roars, several incomparably violent airwaves surged into the sky.

The pressure mixed within those airwaves alone was enough to rival the high-and-mighty Eighth-Rank Grandmasters of the outside world!

"An ambush?! All troops on alert! Charge the main cannons!"

Dragon Battle controlled his Commander-class God-Demon Mecha, aiming the dark muzzles of the Particle Cannons toward the depths of the continent.

"Lower the cannons."

Lin Yuan raised his hand to stop Dragon Battle's movements.

[Ding! Large number of high-energy biological signatures detected!]

[Target confirmed: Pure-blood Starry Sky Xenogeneics!]

[Biological Encyclopedia Analysis: These are "livestock" and "sparring targets" raised by the Ancient God-Demon lineage tens of millions of years ago. Having bred for countless generations under a hundred-thousand-fold gravity field, their physical strength has undergone severe mutation, resulting in extremely high physical defense!]

Looking at the scan results provided by the system, an undisguised light erupted in Lin Yuan's eyes.

They weren't foreign invaders.

Nor were they some peerless malevolent formation.

These starry sky behemoths, radiating Eighth-Rank pressure and possessing incredibly powerful bodies, were actually just beasts that the Ancient God-Demon ancestors kept in their back garden as punching bags and food for their juniors!

Tens of millions of years of closed breeding, combined with the ruthless selection of hundred-thousand-fold gravity, had allowed this "livestock" to evolve the top-tier blood qi and the most resilient defense in the entire universe.

"Good stuff..."

Lin Yuan stuck out his tongue and licked his dry lips.

"Dragon Battle, you all have just taken over the God-Demon Mechas, and the neural links haven't been fully broken in yet. Even if I let you pilot these Eighth-Rank mechas into battle now, you wouldn't be able to exert even thirty percent of their true combat power."

"I was originally worried about where to find suitable targets for your training, but now it seems the ancestors even prepared our meals!"

"Asura Army, hear my command!"

"Shut down all your main energy cannons! Draw your mecha blades!"

"The ancestors left us the best sparring ground and flesh-and-blood supply in the entire universe! Now, disperse the army! Form hundred-man squads and charge into this jungle for me!"

Lin Yuan issued a series of orders:

"Hunt the xenogeneics! Train through combat!"

"Use the most primitive hand-to-hand combat to adapt to the hundred-thousand-fold gravity! Use the essence blood of these beasts to forcibly pile your pitiful cultivation realms all the way up to the Sixth Rank!!!"

"Unless you kill all these beasts, no one is allowed to take a single step into the Core Divine Temple!"

Upon hearing their sovereign's command, the warlike blood within the twenty thousand Asura Army warriors was completely ignited!

"By your command, My Lord!!!"

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Twenty thousand God-Demon Mechas, radiating a dark gold luster, drew their hundred-meter-long giant blades in unison.

Hunting time has officially begun!

"Bang!"

A xenogeneic as large as a mountain was tackled to the ground by a dark gold mecha.

Inside the mecha cockpit, the Asura Army warrior's eyes were bloodshot as he frantically controlled the Ship-Cutting Blade, decapitating the xenogeneic with a single strike!

Under this terrifying hundred-thousand-fold gravity, every tactical movement and every swing of the blade required hundreds or thousands of times more physical energy than in the outside world.

After their initial clumsiness and discomfort, the twenty thousand Asura Army warriors quickly rediscovered their combat instincts on the edge of life and death.

And in the deepest part of this jungle, Lin Yuan's hunting appeared even more savage and bloody!

"Boom!"

With his upper body bare and moving like lightning, Lin Yuan pulled out a sonic boom cloud in mid-air against the hundred-thousand-fold gravity and delivered a vicious whip kick to the waist of an Eighth-Rank Peak xenogeneic!

That thick-skinned xenogeneic leader was snapped into two by that single kick!

Amidst the rain of blood, the phantom of the god-demon furnace behind Lin Yuan opened wide like a greedy Taotie, devouring the remains of this Eighth-Rank xenogeneic along with its vast life essence in one gulp!
