425: Chapter 426 Arrival at Ares Fortress!

Inside the deep blue space wormhole, light twisted.

A giant silver transport ship traveled steadily. The engines emitted a low, faint roar.

Su Yang sat on a wide metal command chair. His eyes were slightly closed, and the Pure Yang True Qi within his body circulated slowly like a river. The Origin of Gravity he had just absorbed was undergoing Fusion with his blood and Qi, tempering his limbs and bones.

Qin Xueji, wearing a form-fitting flight attendant uniform, stood quietly by his side, holding a cup of warm spiritual tea. Her black-stockinged legs were pressed together, and her breathing was steady.

The holographic screen flickered with blue light. The virtual figure of "Zero" appeared.

"Dominator, we are about to exit the jump channel and arrive at the star sector where Ares Fortress is located." Zero's voice was ethereal, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

Su Yang opened his eyes, a flash of golden light passing through them. He took the spiritual tea from Qin Xueji and took a sip.

"Decelerate. Let's go out and take a look."

The space in front of the transport ship rippled like water. The massive hull instantly rushed out of the wormhole, hovering in the pitch-black, cold vacuum of the Universe.

Through the huge transparent porthole of the command tower, tens of thousands of kilometers ahead, a colossal steel planet floated silently.

Ares Fortress.

Its volume was comparable to Earth's moon. The entire surface of the fortress was pieced together from a dark, unknown alloy. Dense, giant gun barrels, like the spikes on a hedgehog's back, were aimed at the vast starry sky in all directions. Around the fortress orbited a dozen energy tracks emitting red light, with hundreds of patrol warships cruising back and forth within them.

This steel monster was the highest adjudicating body established by the Interstellar Court at the edge of the Sirius Star Domain.

The fortress's core command room.

The hall was vast, and the metal walls shimmered with a cold luster. Hundreds of alien operators sat before instruments, typing rapidly on keyboards.

At the highest point of the command platform sat three judges draped in wide black robes. Their faces were all obscured by the shadows of their hoods, and they radiated the tyrannical pressure of the Void Refining Middle Stage.

"Reporting to the three judges! The radar has captured a space jump signal. A friendly transport ship, number C-77, has suddenly appeared at the fortress's outer defense line." An alien officer reported loudly.

The chief judge sitting in the middle raised his head, and two red lights flashed from beneath his hood.

"C-77 transport ship? This is a logistics vessel sent to the abandoned mining planet to execute a suppression mission. Where are the main warships?" The chief judge's voice was hoarse.

The alien officer broke into a sweat, his hands operating rapidly on the screen.

"The communication channel is silent. The other party refuses to answer identification commands. The life detector shows that no life signs of the Sirius God Clan have been found inside the transport ship."

The judge on the left stood up abruptly, his black robe fluttering without wind.

"Immediately activate the fortress's level one defense! The target has been hijacked! Activate the Destruction Beam Array and shatter it completely!"

The order was issued.

The surface of Ares Fortress underwent a drastic change instantly. Hundreds of super-large destruction beam cannons, hidden beneath the armor, rose slowly. The muzzles lit up with blinding white light simultaneously. The terrifying energy fluctuations caused the surrounding vacuum to twist over a large area.

Inside the transport ship's main control tower, red alarm lights flashed wildly.

"Warning. Locked on by high-energy weapons. Expected to encounter a destructive strike in ten seconds." Zero's eyes whirred with data streams as it immediately provided the assessment.

Bai Li, Chu Ling, and Mary all walked to the command window. Watching the hundreds of blinding points of light in the distance, their expressions varied.

"A fortress-level artillery salvo has power far exceeding the previous transport ships. Resisting it head-on will consume too much True Qi." Bai Li gently shook her round fan and spoke a reminder.

Su Yang placed the teacup on the console, his expression as calm as water.

"There is no need to resist head-on. Zero, take over the enemy's weapon System."

Su Yang issued the command. Against a steel fortress that relied on technology to operate, the host of the Mechanical Divine Kingdom had an absolute advantage.

"Understood. Beginning data intrusion."

Zero extended its virtual hands. A waterfall of green code erupted on the holographic screen. With quantum computing power fully engaged, invisible signal waves pierced directly through space and instantly slammed into the outer firewall of Ares Fortress.

Three seconds.

All screens in the fortress's command room turned into blinding red warning boxes. Madly scrolling garbled text replaced the original radar interface.

"Alert! Fire control System compromised by an unknown virus! Underlying protocols are being forcibly rewritten!" The alien operators screamed in terror, desperately trying to regain control.

The chief judge was furious and smashed the metal console in front of him with one palm.

"Cut the physical connection! Quickly!"

However, it was too late.

The hundreds of destruction beam cannons outside the fortress that were preparing to fire suddenly shifted their muzzles strangely. The barrels that were originally aimed at the transport ship were now facing each other in pairs, locking onto the surrounding friendly turrets.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Blinding white light exploded one after another on the surface of the fortress. Hundreds of super-large artillery pieces fired simultaneously, but they all struck their own armor.

The chain of massive explosions set off a sky-high sea of fire in space. The sturdy dark-black alloy armor was blasted with dozens of bottomless giant craters. The shockwaves generated by the explosions flipped the dozens of surrounding patrol alien warships, turning them into balls of burning scrap metal.

Without deploying a single soldier, the outer defense line of Ares Fortress was completely paralyzed.

The chief judge watched the fire outside the window, trembling with rage. His hood was blown off by the shockwave, revealing an ugly face covered in blue scales.

The extremely high-tech barrier was, in front of the opponent, practically like an undefended backyard.

"Activate physical isolation! Release the Starry Sky Tyrannosaurus formation! Tear these invaders to shreds!" The chief judge roared.

At the bottom of the fortress, ten huge circular hangar doors slid open slowly.

Accompanied by a wild roar that shook the Divine Soul, ten metal behemoths over a thousand meters long rushed out from inside the fortress and entered the vast space.

These behemoths looked like ancient Tyrannosaurus Rexes, but there was no flesh or blood on their bodies. Their skeletons were all forged from the hardest Star Alloy, and anti-matter power reactors emitting red light were embedded inside.

Half-mechanical, half-biochemical Starry Sky Tyrannosaurus. The ultimate weapon used by the Interstellar Court to suppress rebellious planets. A single one possessed strength comparable to a Cultivator at the Soul Transformation Stage Peak.

The ten Starry Sky Tyrannosauruses sprayed blue exhaust flames from their limbs, moving as easily in the vacuum as on flat ground. They opened their blood-red maws, filled with high-frequency vibrating teeth, and lunged straight at the silver transport ship.

"The scrap metal sent out this time is quite large."

Su Yang said, his hands in his casual trouser pockets as he turned and walked toward the airlock.

"Stay on the ship. Su Yang is going to warm up."

The hatch opened. Su Yang stepped directly into the cold, pitch-black vacuum of the Universe.

He did not manifest a protective True Qi shield; his Pure Yang Body emitted a faint golden glow in the vacuum. Cosmic rays struck his skin but could not leave a single mark.

Su Yang hovered in mid-air and grasped the void with his right hand.

The asura blood blade instantly appeared in his palm. The blade was dark red and radiated sky-high killing intent.

The ten metal tyrannosauruses had already approached within a hundred miles. Their massive bodies created invisible spatial ripples. The leading tyrannosaurus opened its giant maw, and a beam of light mixed with anti-matter energy was shot out directly.

Su Yang's expression did not change. He flipped his left hand and took out the gray Origin of Gravity Crystal Core that he had captured earlier. Pure Yang True Qi surged, forcibly compressing the power of the Origin of Gravity into the asura blood blade.

The golden-purple flames that had been dancing on the blade instantly extinguished, replaced by a layer of pitch-black, distorted darkness that could even swallow light.

"Slash."

Su Yang gripped the blade with both hands and, facing the ten behemoths lunging at him, slashed down fiercely from above.

There was no earth-shattering hundred-foot blade glow.

The moment the blade swung, the space region within tens of thousands of meters ahead actually underwent an extremely terrifying spatial collapse!

The Law of 100,000 times gravity was slashed directly into the vacuum by the asura blood blade in the form of Saber Qi.

The five Starry Sky Tyrannosauruses charging at the front suddenly halted. The anti-matter energy beams were forcibly torn apart by the invisible gravity.

Immediately after.

Crack, crack!

The harsh sound of metal being crushed spread through the vacuum. The five thousand-meter-long metal behemoths, within the terrifying gravity collapse zone, did not even have a chance to struggle before their massive bodies were forcibly and frantically compressed inward.

The indestructible Star Alloy armor fractured inch by inch. In just three seconds, the five behemoths capable of destroying planets were directly kneaded by gravity into five solid metal spheres less than three meters in diameter!

The anti-matter power reactors inside the metal spheres were forcibly crushed and exploded, but no fire leaked out. All the explosive energy was trapped in the black hole of the gravity collapse and completely annihilated.

The remaining five Starry Sky Tyrannosauruses had red lights flashing wildly in their eye sockets. The micro-intelligent chips implanted in their bodies, when faced with such terrifying power that defied common sense, directly fell into a System crash state.

"A few tin dogs dare to bare their fangs at Su Yang."

Su Yang's figure flashed, turning into an afterimage as he instantly crossed the Void Realm.

He appeared directly above the giant head of one of the tyrannosauruses. His right leg brought with it formidable kinetic energy as he whipped his leg heavily onto the tyrannosaurus's metal crown.

Bang!

The giant metal head of the dragon exploded on the spot. Countless parts and machine oil flew everywhere.

Su Yang was like an invincible god of slaughter, leaping wantonly in the vacuum. With every punch he threw, a Starry Sky Tyrannosaurus was smashed into two pieces. With every slash of his blade, the Law of Gravity directly ground the behemoth's body into scrap metal.

In less than two minutes.

The ten ace star beasts were all wiped out, turning into a pile of broken trash floating in space.

Su Yang stood in the Void Realm, the asura blood blade in his hand pointing directly at the incomparably massive steel fortress ahead.

"Knocking on the door."

Su Yang gripped the hilt of the blade tightly. The Origin of Gravity and Pure Yang True Fire erupted simultaneously. He slashed out fiercely.

A terrifying blade glow, mixed with black and gold colors and stretching for tens of thousands of zhang, carrying the supreme Divine Might to split the galaxy, slashed straight toward the outer main armor of Ares Fortress.

Boom!

The blade glow struck the surface of the fortress. The dark-black super-alloy armor, a hundred meters thick, was like a fragile block of tofu. Instantly, a massive gap a thousand meters wide was torn open.

The air pressure inside the fortress became unbalanced. Countless metal fragments and alien soldiers were sucked directly into space by the violent airflow through the gap, instantly freezing into ice sculptures.

Su Yang put away his long blade and stepped on the Void Realm.

Following the huge passage he had slashed open with one strike, he walked into the interior of Ares Fortress with large strides.
