108: Chapter 108 The Sect-Protecting Array? No, that's an illegally constructed glass wall.

Central State, in front of the mountain gate of the Wanfa Immortal Sect.

The atmosphere was tense. On one side was the hegemon of the Central State, a power with a ten-thousand-year Legacy and profound Foundations; their Sect-protecting great Formation, the "Wanfa Guiyi Hunyuan Formation," was fully active. A five-colored light curtain, a hundred zhang thick, inverted downward, enveloping the Sect for thousands of miles around. Countless complex runes flowed across the curtain, emitting terrifying fluctuations capable of strangling Soul Transformation Stage Cultivators.

On the other side was a "construction crew" with a very peculiar style. Hundreds of Heavy Armored Demon Pig Tanks were rumbling as they preheated their engines (though they were biological creatures, Li Mo had equipped them with 'low roar' sound effects). Thousands of Abyssal Tentacle Monsters wore safety helmets, holding pneumatic picks and sledgehammers, performing warm-up exercises (tying their tentacles into knots and then untying them).

"Bold ruffians!" The Sect Head of the Wanfa Immortal Sect, True Lord Tianfa, stood inside the light curtain, looking down condescendingly at this "rabble." "You think you can break the Sect-protecting Formation of my Wanfa Immortal Sect with just these few beasts? You're dreaming! This Formation was left behind by an ancient Immortal; it can even block a Heavenly Tribulation! If you kneel and beg for mercy now, this seat might still leave your corpses intact!"

Tianhe Academy Mobile Command Center (top of a shipping container).

Butcher Xiao (Head of the Civil Engineering Department) ignored the other party's shouting. He was holding a large instrument similar to a telescope—a [Structural Stress Analyzer] (invented by Li Mo)—and was looking the light curtain up and down.

"Director Lei, what do you think?" Butcher Xiao asked.

Beside him, Lei Wanjun (Head of the Physics Department) was holding a notebook and calculating frantically, his pen tip nearly throwing sparks. "According to the principle of wave interference," Lei Wanjun pushed up his glasses, "although this Formation has extremely high energy density, its frequency is fixed. Like a bridge, as long as we find its 'resonance frequency,' let alone a light curtain, even diamond can be shattered."

"In other words..." Butcher Xiao grinned, revealing a row of white teeth, "it's brittle?"

"Very brittle." Lei Wanjun closed his notebook. "Furthermore, its Foundation was laid very poorly. The load-bearing structure of that Formation core (Wanfa Golden Peak) seriously exceeds standards; it's a typical case of being 'top-heavy.'"

"Good!" Butcher Xiao picked up a megaphone, turned to the construction crew behind him, and roared: "Brothers! Did you hear that? That's no Immortal Formation, it's just a load-bearing wall! Now, execute according to Chapter Three of the 'Blasting and Demolition Operation Standards'! Step one: Drilling!"

"Roar—!! (Start working!)"

With the command given, hundreds of Heavy Armored Demon Pig Tanks raised their heads simultaneously. The spiritual power buckets on their backs didn't smash against the light curtain; instead, they slammed fiercely into the ground outside its perimeter.

True Lord Tianfa was stunned: "What are they doing? Digging dirt?"

Indeed, they were digging dirt. But it wasn't ordinary digging. The Demon Pigs activated their innate talent, [Void Tunnelling]. They bypassed the frontal defense of the light curtain and dug straight along the ley lines to the... bottom of the curtain.

Immediately after, thousands of Tentacle Monsters crawled down through the tunnels. The pneumatic picks in their hands were swapped for specialized [High-frequency Vibration Drill Bits].

Zzzzzzzzz—!!! A grating noise that seemed to drill straight into one's skull suddenly erupted from underground.

Inside the light curtain, the Wanfa Immortal Sect Disciples instantly felt their feet go numb; some with lower cultivation even vomited on the spot. "What's happening? An earthquake?" "No! It's the sound! This sound is vibrating my spiritual power!"

"This is an infrasound attack!" Lei Wanjun directed calmly from the command center. "Frequency 50 Hertz, increase power! Shake their Formation Foundation loose for me!"

Crack. The indestructible "Wanfa Guiyi Hunyuan Formation," after enduring ten minutes of this "foot massage," suddenly developed a tiny crack on its surface. It wasn't because it was attacked, but because... the Foundation had loosened. Like a skyscraper built on sand, no matter how sturdy it was, it was useless.

"Bastards! You dare to shake my Sect's Foundation!" True Lord Tianfa turned pale with fright. "Quick! Attack the ground! Burn those Tentacle Monsters to death!" Countless Spells were blasted toward the earth.

But at that moment, Butcher Xiao raised his megaphone again. "Step two: Directional blasting!"

Whoosh—! A large, black object flew out from behind the command center, tracing a perfect parabola and sticking precisely onto that crack. It wasn't a bomb. It was a massive... talisman. On it was written the word "Demolish" in red, surrounded by a circle of strange symbols (actually the chemical formula for TNT).

[Concept-grade Item: Demolition Office's Notice.] [Effect: The physical defense of any object this talisman is attached to is forced to zero.]

"Detonate!" Lei Wanjun pressed the detonator in his hand.

Boom—!!!

There was no fire, only a dull roar as if space itself were shattering. The five-colored light curtain that claimed to withstand Heavenly Tribulations, under the effect of the "Demolish" talisman, was like a piece of tempered glass struck by a hammer. Crash! It instantly disintegrated into countless fragments and dissipated into the air.

The mountain gate of the Wanfa Immortal Sect was thus... exposed.

"This... this is impossible..." True Lord Tianfa stared blankly at the empty sky, his worldview suffering another critical hit. No Formation-breaking incantations were needed, no breaking through with sheer force. The opponent just... dug a hole, stuck on a piece of paper, and demolished a ten-thousand-year Sect-protecting Formation?

"Nothing is impossible," Butcher Xiao's voice came like a demon's. "According to the 'Illegal Building Handling Regulations,' the obstacle has been cleared. Next, begin on-site operations."

"Tentacle Monster Battalion, go! Target: Ancestral Hall!" "Demon Pig Tanks, go! Target: Treasure Pavilion!" "Remember, only demolish the buildings, do not harm the people (unless they resist)! We are practicing civilized law enforcement!"

"Roar—!!!" Without the protection of the light curtain, the Wanfa Immortal Sect was like a peeled egg before these monsters wielding "Holy Swords of Physics" and "Civil Engineering Hammers."

"Stop them! Stop them quickly!" True Lord Tianfa roared, manifesting his Lifebound Treasure—the Sky-Turning Seal. A massive golden seal expanded in the wind, transforming into the size of a small mountain, smashing toward the leading Demon Pig.

However, that Demon Pig didn't even glance at the golden seal above its head. Because sitting on its back was a student (the Physics Class Representative). The student took out a small megaphone and shouted at the golden seal: "According to Newton's First Law, an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force!" "Stop for me!"

The [Rule: Inertia Elimination] remotely bestowed by Li Mo activated. The golden seal that had been smashing down with such an Aura suddenly seemed to lose all kinetic energy, hovering in mid-air. Then... thud. It fell vertically, landing gently on the Demon Pig's forehead without even causing a bump.

The Demon Pig shook its head and kicked the golden seal aside. "Roar? (Where did this trash come from?)"

True Lord Tianfa: "Pfft—!" (Another mouthful of old blood sprayed out). His Lifebound Treasure... was kicked by a pig?

"Don't struggle anymore." Butcher Xiao led his army straight in, driving the command vehicle directly onto the plaza of the Wanfa Immortal Sect. He looked at the surrounding Cultivators who were terrified yet didn't dare to act, and sighed.

"Actually, we didn't want it to be like this." Butcher Xiao took out a 'Relocation Compensation Agreement' (which was actually an indenture contract). "As long as you cooperate and hand over that 'Ignition Port' (beneath the Ancestral Hall). Our Dean said that the Tianhe Academy branch campus just happens to be short of some 'high-quality' faculty and staff. You people of the Wanfa Immortal Sect might not be good at fighting, but... you have great potential to be 'human batteries.'"

True Lord Tianfa looked at the agreement, then at the Tentacle Monsters frantically demolishing buildings around him, and finally, his vision went black, and he fainted.

[System Prompt: Demolition Progress 50%.] [Ignition Port being cleared...] [Warning: Abnormal energy reaction detected beneath the Ignition Port.] [It seems... an ignition device is damaged.]

Inside the Scripture Pavilion, Li Mo watched this scene, his brow slightly furrowed. "Damaged? It seems just demolishing isn't enough. A 'mechanic' needs to go down and take a look."

He closed his book and stood up. "In that case, I'll have to handle it personally. After all, when it comes to repairing starships... I have experience (referring to having watched 'Star Trek')."
