95: Chapter 96 Space Folding Plus Dark Energy? The US Unleashes Its Full Power, the Prodigal Son Encounters Its Strongest Obstacle!

The Nevada desert is scorched by the blazing sun all year round, its air distorted like a crumpled piece of waste paper.

This is the Eagle's most mysterious forbidden zone—Area 51.

But today, this mystery was completely torn apart by a streak of black and red light descending from the sky.

"BOOM!!!"

A sonic boom cloud exploded at an altitude of ten thousand meters, like a blooming white lotus.

Xue Youyou did not slow down; she was like a meteorite ignited by fury, carrying the terrifying kinetic energy of the Nascent Soul Great Perfection stage, slamming hard into this desert.

The earth trembled violently, and a sandstorm soared into the sky, instantly engulfing the cacti for ten miles around.

There was no so-called "infiltration," nor any "tactical evasion."

For a Demon Child who was in a hurry to get her skin money back and possessed overwhelming combat power, walking in a straight line was the most basic form of respect.

"Is this Area 51?"

As the dust settled, Xue Youyou hovered in mid-air, a crater dozens of meters deep beneath her feet. She disdainfully brushed the sand off her skirt, her heterochromatic red and black eyes coldly scanning the seemingly ordinary military base ahead.

"It doesn't look like much; it's not even as grand as the old ancestor's latrine."

At this very moment, the eyes of the world were focused here.

Although the Eagle had cut off official signals, the quantum drones that Jiang Chen brought, modified by Taichu Technology, had long since filled this airspace like flies.

In the live stream, the comments were scrolling so fast that the screen was becoming hard to see.

"It's here, it's here! The Goddess in Red has descended!"

"Selling sunflower seeds and drinks in the front row! Is this the demolition squad working on-site today?"

"Is this the legendary Area 51 with aliens? It looks so unremarkable, doesn't it?"

"Don't be impatient, upstairs. The aliens must be hiding underground. Let's see how the Goddess digs them out!"

High above at ten thousand meters, Jiang Chen, his hairstyle messed up by the cold wind, was holding his phone, acting as a battlefield commentator.

"Hey everyone, as you can see, our debt collection squad has arrived on the scene."

Jiang Chen adjusted his collar for the camera; although he looked a bit disheveled, he couldn't lose his momentum.

"Given that the other party refuses to pay what they owe, has an extremely terrible attitude, and even attempted to use illegal means to detain the debt collectors, we have decided to take some necessary coercive measures."

"Youyou, go! Don't give them any face. Except for that vault, tear everything else down for me!"

"Got it, stop nagging."

Xue Youyou replied impatiently.

She slowly raised her right hand, and in her palm, the black netherworld rakshasa umbrella spun around, emitting a chilling aura that made one's heart tremble.

"Hey you... the President, right?"

Xue Youyou addressed the base below; although her voice was childish, it carried through spiritual power to every corner.

"I will count to three. Hand over the money and kowtow to me three times, and I might consider leaving your corpses intact."

"One."

There was no response.

Only hundreds of automated defense turrets rose around the base, simultaneously turning their barrels to lock onto Xue Youyou in the sky.

"Two."

"Zzzzt—"

Countless high-energy lasers and depleted uranium armor-piercing shells poured down like a rainstorm, instantly covering the position where Xue Youyou was located.

That dense web of firepower was enough to ensure that not even a fly could survive.

"Courting death."

Xue Youyou didn't even lift an eyelid.

She just gently opened the umbrella in her hand.

"Whoosh—"

The umbrella surface spun, and a black curtain of light instantly unfolded.

That artillery fire, capable of tearing tanks apart, hit the light curtain and was like a clay ox entering the sea; without even making a sound, it was completely devoured by the phantoms of evil ghosts embroidered on the umbrella's surface.

"Three."

Xue Youyou finished counting.

She closed the umbrella, a flash of brutality crossing her eyes.

"Since you don't want to give it, I'll take it myself!"

"Demonic Hand—Covering the Heavens!"

Rumble!

The originally sunny sky instantly darkened.

A blood-colored demonic hand, even larger and more solid than the one previously seen in the East Sea, reached out from the void, carrying the pressure to destroy the world, and slammed fiercely toward the base below.

This wasn't an attack.

This was wiping this piece of land off the map!

"Crack! Boom!"

The buildings on the ground were like paper; before the demonic hand even landed, they were flattened by the terrifying wind pressure. Watchtowers snapped, bunkers collapsed, and countless expensive defense facilities instantly turned into scrap metal.

Just as the demonic hand was about to completely shatter the surface and strike directly at the underground core.

An unexpected change occurred.

"Hum—!!!"

An extremely piercing buzzing sound rang out from deep underground without warning.

Immediately after.

A light blue curtain of light, composed of countless hexagonal honeycomb structures, rose from the ground like a giant eggshell, tightly enclosing the entire core area of Area 51.

"Dong!!!"

The blood-colored demonic hand slammed heavily onto the light curtain.

There was no sound of shattering as imagined.

Instead, it emitted a loud noise like a great bell, shattering all the glass for a hundred miles around.

That seemingly thin curtain of light actually only trembled violently a few times, without even a single crack appearing!

Instead, the demonic hand condensed by Xue Youyou was shattered by a huge rebounding force, turning into a rain of blood across the sky.

"Huh?"

Xue Youyou was knocked back a few steps in the air, a look of surprise appearing on her face.

She shook her slightly numb little hand, her heterochromatic eyes staring fixedly at the light shield below.

"A bit interesting."

"This turtle shell... is much harder than the one on that tin boat from before."

The audience in the live stream was also dumbfounded.

"Holy crap? It blocked it?"

"That's a hand that can even crush nuclear bombs! It actually didn't shatter that shield?"

"What is this blue light? It looks so sci-fi! Is this the Eagle's trump card?"

High in the sky, Jiang Chen's expression also sank.

He held the analysis report just sent by Academician Li Zhenbang, his brows furrowed.

"Energy readings... cannot be parsed?"

"Structure... not a substance known to Earth?"

"The energy circuit of this light shield actually has similarities to the mountain-protecting array of the Taichu Holy Land, but it's more precise and more advanced?"

An ominous premonition rose in Jiang Chen's heart.

This is definitely not something that Earth technology could create.

Just at this moment.

Below the light shield, a holographic projection device activated.

A huge, hundred-meter-tall holographic projection of the Eagle's President appeared over the desert.

He was wearing a black suit, and his face did not have the flustered expression from before; instead, it wore a strange, confident smile.

"Jiang Chen, and that little girl who I don't know what kind of creature she is."

The President's voice echoed between heaven and earth through loudspeakers.

"You are truly strong. So strong that it exceeds our understanding of carbon-based life forms."

"But."

"I regret to tell you that the game is over."

The President pointed to the light blue shield covering the base, his eyes full of fanaticism and arrogance.

"See that? This is the miracle bestowed upon us by the 'Star Alliance'—the [Absolute Defense Field]."

"It is a planetary-level shield built based on space folding technology and dark energy matrices. Let alone your low-level energy attacks, even an asteroid impact would leave it unscathed!"

"In front of it, you are like primitive people holding wooden sticks trying to smash a tank; ridiculous and pathetic."

"Primitive people?"

Hearing these three words, the veins on Xue Youyou's forehead twitched.

In the Taichu Realm, she was known as a "peerless genius"; when had she ever been called a primitive person?

"You fat pig, if you spout any more crap from that mouth, do you believe I'll tear it off and feed it to the dogs?"

Xue Youyou laughed out of extreme anger, and the netherworld rakshasa umbrella in her hand spun violently.

"Isn't it just a turtle shell?"

"I don't believe there is anything in this world that I cannot break!"

"Nine Changes of the Netherworld—Asura Pierce!"

The umbrella in her hand suddenly closed, transforming into a pitch-black long spear.

Her demonic energy compressed frantically at this moment, gathering at the tip of the spear.

In that instant, the space around the spear tip developed tiny cracks, and black lightning swirled around it.

This was the ultimate technique of using a point to break a surface!

It was a finishing move specifically for breaking various defensive arrays!

"Break for me!!!"
