228: Traitor Cleansing Operation

In the late autumn of the Demon City, the air was filled with dampness and a subtle, almost imperceptible scent of rust.

Lin Feng stood outside the grand yet cold gates of the Demon City Professional Association, looking up at the somber skyline.

Over ten days of processing information and consolidating his power had made his aura more contained, yet also more dangerous, like a dormant volcano.

Alicia stood beside him, her golden hair gently swaying in the breeze.

Behind them were ten silent Metal Knights, their cold alloy shells reflecting a faint glow in the dim light, like a death squad from a future battlefield.

In these past ten days, Zhang Xianzong had not wasted a single moment.

He not only provided the vast resources needed to launch the “God-Making Project” but also handed Lin Feng a heavy, blood-stained piece of intelligence.

It revealed the truth behind the destruction of the Zu Long Secret Realm, as well as the names of the families confirmed to have betrayed Dragon Country, participating in the destruction of the Zu Long Secret Realm’s seal for their own selfish reasons.

The first name on the list was none other than the Fan Family, the preeminent family in Demon City, controlling vast resources and underground forces!

“Demon City, Fan Family…”

Lin Feng murmured the name, his eyes devoid of warmth, filled only with an icy killing intent.

The Zu Long Secret Realm was the foundation of Dragon Country, the resting place of countless heroes, and a crucial point for resisting invasions from other worlds.

The Fan Family’s betrayal was equivalent to stabbing every Dragon Country citizen in the heart; their crime demanded execution!

There were no superfluous pleasantries, no tentative approaches.

The moment he stepped out of the Professional Association’s gate, Lin Feng’s target was already set.

The Fan Family’s stronghold!

A vast, heavily guarded complex of estate-style buildings appeared before them.

Towering walls, the faint glow of energy shield generators, and the guards at the entrance—clad in uniform, their wary eyes tinged with arrogance—all underscored the Fan Family’s dominant position in Demon City.

“Stop! Who are you? This is a vital area of the Fan Family; unauthorized personnel, leave immediately!”

The captain of the guards shouted sternly, his hand already on the weapon at his waist.

The guards behind him also drew their weapons, energy muzzles flashing with dangerous light.

Lin Feng didn’t even glance at them, his steps unwavering.

Buzz!

An invisible, yet mountain-heavy pressure suddenly descended!

Like a tangible shockwave, it swept over all the guards at the entrance instantly!

Thud!

Thud!

The captain of the guards and all the guards were struck as if by an invisible giant hammer, their faces instantly turning ashen, unable to even scream. Their knees buckled, and they fell directly to the ground, their bones groaning under the unbearable pressure, as if their internal organs were about to be squeezed out!

Their weapons clattered from their hands, and even wiggling a finger became a luxury.

The pressure of an Epic-level powerhouse was like the sky falling and the earth overturning for these guards who hadn't even reached Gold-level!

Lin Feng’s figure glided like a phantom through the kneeling guards, Alicia followed closely, and the Metal Knights marched with heavy, synchronized steps, like war machines clearing a path, directly shattering the Fan Family’s alloy gate, a symbol of their power and authority!

“Enemy attack!! Highest alert!!!”

A shrill, piercing alarm instantly tore through the tranquility above the Fan Family estate!

Blinding red lights flashed frantically.

Inside the estate, the reaction was swift.

Well-trained Fan Family private soldiers and highly paid guest elders poured out like a disturbed hornet’s nest.

Powerful auras surged, including several Legendary-level presences.

Various energy lights ignited, and energy shields unfolded in layers, attempting to block the invaders’ advance.

“Who dares to offend my Fan Family?!”

A furious roar, like a clap of thunder, erupted.

A burly middle-aged man in dark golden battle armor soared into the sky, wielding a giant axe with a chilling gleam, his aura immense. He was clearly a Transcendent-level early-stage powerhouse!

He was Fan Hu, the Fan Family’s guard commander!

His response was Lin Feng’s icy gaze, and… a bizarre distortion of space behind him!

An indescribable, soul-freezing terrifying aura, as if erupting from the deepest depths of the Nine Nether Hells, instantly permeated the entire estate!

The air became thick and heavy, the light seemed to dim a few shades, and a primal fear, stemming from the very instinct of life, gripped the heart of everyone present!

“Roar!!!”

A deafening roar, filled with destruction and savagery, tore through space!

In the void behind Lin Feng, a figure so vast it was suffocating slowly emerged!

[Name: Alien Queen]

[Star Level: Unknown]

[Strength: Epic-level Middle-stage]

[Status: Extremely Active / Absolutely Obedient]

[Core Rules: Destruction, Fusion, Annihilation]

[Inherited Power of Rule: Frost, Flame, Virulent Poison, Extreme Speed...]

[Skill 1: Claws of Destruction · Rule Collapse: Both claws gather highly concentrated Power of Rule of destruction to attack. The claw attack itself causes dual physical and rule damage, and instantly generates a miniature “Destruction Domain” with a radius of several meters at the point of impact or along the swing trajectory.]

[Skill 2: Fusion Stomp · Chaos Field: Stomps the ground with immense force containing destructive divine power, triggering a destructive shockwave, while simultaneously injecting chaotic energy (fused with multiple Power of Rule: ice, fire, poison, spatial vibration, etc.) into the earth. Centered on the point of impact, it instantly creates a “Chaos Field” with a radius of tens of meters.]

[Skill 3: Annihilation Breath · Rule Eradication: Opens its massive maw and unleashes a highly condensed, deep dark-purple or chaotic black destructive energy torrent. Wherever the breath passes, space is forcibly “erased,” and matter and energy are directly decomposed, annihilated, and turned into nothingness.]

[Skill 4: Indestructible Body · Rule Adaptation: Fuses the Alien’s ultimate evolutionary potential with the core destructive rule, forming an incredibly tough, rule-based body. Possesses extremely high physical resistance, energy resistance, and abnormal status resistance. When attacked, a layer of destructive rule force field is automatically activated on its surface, instinctively collapsing and neutralizing part of the damage, and rapidly adapting to the rule characteristics contained in the attack.]

[Skill 5: Annihilation Divine Domain · All Laws Return to Void: Centered on itself, releases pure destructive divine law power, forcibly twisting and overriding reality’s rules, creating an “Annihilation Divine Domain” with a radius of up to a hundred meters. This domain is the ultimate manifestation of the Alien Queen’s Power of Rule; within the domain, the “destruction” and “annihilation” rules become absolute masters, suppressing, repelling, and even forcibly decomposing all other non-destruction Power of Rule.]

[Special Talent 1: Fusion Evolution · All Sources Return to One: Can devour, analyze, and forcibly fuse the core Power of Rule, special abilities, or excellent genetic fragments of other powerful life forms. The fusion process is accompanied by intense energy conflicts and rule clashes, but once successful, it will permanently enhance itself and may derive new destructive skills or optimize existing abilities.]

[Special Talent 2: Annihilation Blacklight · Life Drain (Passive/Active): The destructive Power of Rule contained in its attacks, while destroying the target, forcibly drains the target’s life essence, energy core, and even shattered rule fragments. A portion of these drained “nutrients” is used to replenish its own consumption and accelerate regeneration; another portion is absorbed by the core to strengthen its own rules or stored as evolutionary energy. When actively activated, it can form an area-of-effect life-draining aura, forcibly extracting the life force of all non-friendly units within the domain.]

[Special Talent 3: Destructive Pressure · Mind Collapse (Passive): Its very existence is the embodiment of destruction, constantly emitting powerful and pure destructive will shockwaves. This impact causes continuous, irresistible mental oppression and soul tremors to surrounding intelligent beings, triggering the deepest levels of fear, despair, and madness. It directly weakens the enemy’s will to fight, casting concentration, and judgment. Targets with weak will or a significant power gap may experience direct mental breakdown, their souls assimilated or torn apart by the destructive will.]

[Special Talent 4: Queen’s Will · Swarm Domination (Passive): Can absolutely dominate Alien swarms it has hatched or that Lin Feng has granted it control over through a powerful mental link. Within the “Annihilation Divine Domain,” this domination range and intensity are greatly enhanced, and it can temporarily bestow some destructive Power of Rule buffs upon its subordinate Aliens.]

The appearance of this colossal creature instantly shattered most of the Fan Family estate’s will to resist!

Its monstrously perfect, streamlined body was covered in a chitinous exoskeleton that gleamed with a dark metallic luster, naturally inscribed with arcane, dark golden patterns that seemed to contain the ultimate truth of destruction.

Its enormous bone wings were folded behind it, each slight flutter causing ripples in the surrounding space.

On its elongated head, cold, emotionless compound eyes scanned the ant-like humans below. There was no anger, no bloodlust in those eyes, only an absolute will to look down upon dust and execute ultimate annihilation!

It was none other than the Alien Queen, evolved to Epic-level Middle-stage through the ‘limit-breaking potion’!

At this moment, she was Lin Feng’s sharpest blade of destruction!

Not only that, but among the Metal Knights following Lin Feng, two of them also released their domain force fields!
