344: Chapter 344 Tearing Apart a Twelve-Winged Angel, Lu Sheng: Your Flesh Smells Delicious

The stone walls of the Heros Tomb were bone-chillingly cold, the frost crawling up the back of Luo Tianfei's neck along her spine.

Lu Sheng's pressure was unleashed without restraint; those Cross-shaped Pupils, burning with ashen-gray flames, were like two high-precision scanners, dissecting her completely from Soul to Physical Body.

"Insurance?" Lu Sheng took a step forward, close enough to see his own reflection in Luo Tianfei's pupils—his hideous Human-Dragon Form had not yet fully receded.

"So, if I lose control, you'll become a blade thrust into my heart?"

Luo Tianfei's lips trembled. That blood-colored mark on her wrist burned hot, a power both of the same Origin yet repulsive, resonating with Lu Sheng's Ancient Desolate Divine Body.

She didn't answer yes or no.

Lu Sheng laughed instead.

"Very well." He withdrew the pressure that could crush mountains, his tone as flat as if he were evaluating the ingredients of a dish. "A key should act like a key."

He raised his hand. Instead of touching Luo Tianfei, his fingertip pointed at the blood-colored mark on her wrist and tapped the Void Realm.

Buzz—

A golden power of rules originating from the planet's Origin, mixed with Lu Sheng's incomparably overbearing Ancient Desolate will, transformed into a tiny, chain-like rune that was forcibly branded onto Luo Tianfei's Bloodline mark.

Luo Tianfei let out a muffled groan, feeling as if an invisible shackle had been placed deep within her Soul. She could clearly sense that her life and death now hung entirely on Lu Sheng's single thought.

"Now, this insurance is under my control." After finishing this, Lu Sheng turned and walked out of the Heros Tomb without looking back. "Go to the war room, bring your 'Gravekeeper' intelligence, and give me a complete analysis report."

He didn't care about Luo Tianfei's background at all, nor did he care about the so-called "Ancestral Tomb" or "Unit 01."

In his eyes, all living things were divided into only two categories: those that could be used, and those that could be eaten.

Luo Tianfei leaned against the stone wall and slowly slid to the ground, panting heavily. She watched Lu Sheng's departing back, the determination and bitterness in her eyes eventually turning into a bottomless depth of complexity.

This "Vicious Beast" had completely broken free from its cage.

...

Meanwhile, on the far side of the Moon, at the Tiangong Base.

The data stream on the surface of the war array heavenly disk surged frantically at an unprecedented speed, and piercing alarms echoed throughout the base.

[Warning: The 'rancher' Executor has broken through the Kuiper Belt defense line and is performing a faster-than-light jump.]

[Target locked: Earth.]

[Estimated time of arrival: Three minutes.]

Lu Sheng's figure appeared out of thin air in the central control room. He glanced at the huge red dot rapidly approaching on the screen, his face showing no emotion.

"Three minutes?" He walked beneath the heavenly disk and pressed both hands directly onto the cold liquid metal sphere. "That's enough time for me to set the table."

His majestic will followed the heavenly disk, instantly covering the entire globe.

"Dao Yi!"

On Dengxian Island, Dao Yi, who was commanding Disciples to repair the Formation, shuddered as Lu Sheng's voice rang directly in his mind.

"Island Master!"

"Activate the highest authority of the 'Desolation Barrier.' Dengxian Island will immediately transition into a Grade 1 war fortress. All non-combat personnel are to move to the underground shelters one thousand meters deep."

"Yes!"

"Li Xiaoyao!"

Li Xiaoyao, who was bandaging his wounds, his hand shook, nearly throwing his broken sword away.

"Present!"

"Haven't you always wanted to see the Immortal Qin fleet? Go to the Departure Port; there are toys there for you."

Lu Sheng's orders were issued one by one—precise, efficient, and devoid of any emotion.

As his will flowed, the Earth, which had been silent for ten thousand years, began to awaken.

Deep in the East Sea, an Immortal Qin Shipyard disguised as an underwater mountain range swung open, and several hideous warships, each a thousand meters long, burst out of the water.

Beneath the Kunlun Ruins, sealed energy pipelines lit up again, converting the Leyline spirit source into massive energy to drive the war machines.

The Pyramid ruins, the Bermuda Triangle, the polar ice sheets... every hidden Immortal Qin node was fully activated.

At this moment, the entire Earth transformed into a massive war fortress bristling with fangs.

Meanwhile, outside Earth, in the cold Void Realm of the Universe.

One hundred thousand Xianqin Terracotta Warriors, under the unified dispatch of the war array heavenly disk, appeared silently in low Earth orbit. They made no sound, but with absolute precision, they formed an ancient Formation diagram covering tens of thousands of kilometers of airspace.

The Great Array of the Cosmic Stars!

Every soldier was a Formation eye; their internal spirit source cores were interconnected, gathering the power of a hundred thousand individuals into a torrent capable of shaking the stars.

This torrent of steel waited silently in the dead vacuum for its prey to arrive.

Two minutes and fifty seconds.

The space above Earth's orbit was torn open without warning.

It wasn't a jump gate, nor was it a spatial rift.

Space was like a melting curtain as a massive ship, constructed entirely of pure white light feathers, slowly sailed out. It ignored the Laws of physics, as if it had always existed there.

At the ship's bow, a "creature" a hundred meters tall with twelve pure white light wings on its back stepped out.

He had no facial features; his face was a smooth sheet of Holy Light.

In his hand, he held a giant sword burning with white-gold flames.

Holy, majestic, and pure.

A will capable of purifying all filth swept across the entire Earth.

"Out-of-specification pollution source detected."

"Purification program... initiated."

The voice of that "World-Purifying Angel" did not travel through sound waves but rang in the minds of every living being on Earth in the form of a logical command.

He raised the Flaming Holy Sword in his hand.

Terrifying energy, enough to split a continental plate in two, condensed at the tip of the sword.

However, what greeted him was not fear and repentance.

But one hundred thousand cold streaks of killing intent that spanned across eternity.

"Fire."

Lu Sheng's voice issued the sole command through the war array heavenly disk.

In the next second.

The Great Array of the Cosmic Stars roared into operation!

The chests of the hundred thousand Xianqin Terracotta Warriors lit up simultaneously with blinding light.

There were no magnificent energy cannons, only streaks of pure black Annihilation Divine Thunder that seemed capable of swallowing light.

One hundred thousand bolts of divine thunder converged in the void, condensing into a black lightning spear ten thousand miles long, which thrust boldly toward the World-Purifying Angel at speeds exceeding light!

The angel seemed somewhat surprised.

The Flaming Holy Sword in his hand changed direction, slashing down against the lightning spear.

Boom—!!!

A silent explosion bloomed in the Universe like a brilliant "firework" over ten thousand kilometers in diameter.

The holy white-gold flames and the all-consuming black Annihilation Thunder collided and annihilated each other frantically. The dissipating energy storm instantly evaporated several military satellites in orbit.

The angel's figure was knocked back hundreds of kilometers by the impact.

For the first time, violent fluctuations appeared on his smooth face.

"Remnants of Immortal Qin?"

He seemed to recognize this power.

But what answered him were the second and third rounds—an endless barrage of concentrated fire.

Supported by the heavenly disk's computing power, the Great Array of the Cosmic Stars maximized its energy efficiency. The Terracotta Soldier Legion became a never-ending war meat grinder, pouring out attacks capable of destroying civilizations like a tide.

The angel was thoroughly enraged.

"Lowly tin cans!"

The twelve light wings on his back snapped open, each feather transforming into a miniature Flaming Holy Sword.

Billions of sword lights erupted, forming a blade storm that swept through the starry sky, surging back toward the Terracotta Soldier array.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Wherever the sword light passed, the hard armor of the Terracotta Soldiers was as flimsy as paper, easily pierced. Thousands of soldiers exploded on the spot, turning into cosmic dust.

A corner of the Great Array of the Cosmic Stars was forcibly torn open!

The power of the angel's single sword strike was truly terrifying.

Just as he was about to expand his advantage, a streak of black-gold light, moving even faster than him, darted through the gaps in the blade storm and instantly closed in on him.

It was Lu Sheng.

He had activated his Human-Dragon Form. With a Physical Body three thousand times stronger than a mortal's, he tanked the aftershocks of the sword light and launched a bold close-quarters assault.

"Finally willing to come out of your shell?" The angel gave a cold laugh, and the Flaming Holy Sword in his hand swept out, blocking all of Lu Sheng's paths of attack.

Lu Sheng neither dodged nor avoided.

His right Dragon Claw, covered in black-gold dragon scales, met the blade head-on and grabbed it fiercely!

Sizzle—

The Dragon Claw collided with the Holy Sword, erupting in blinding sparks.

Lu Sheng's Dragon Claw was scorched and mangled, but he successfully used his own flesh and blood to jam that Holy Sword capable of cleaving stars.

The intense pain made the madness in his eyes burn even more fiercely.

"Your flesh smells delicious."

Under the angel's stunned gaze, Lu Sheng opened his maw full of dragon teeth and bit down hard on the burning Flaming Holy Sword!

Crunch!!!

He actually bit off a chunk of that Holy Sword constructed from high-dimensional Laws!

Before the angel could react, Lu Sheng's left Dragon Claw had already pierced through the other's Holy Light armor, stabbing deep into the angel's chest made of pure energy.

The ancient desolate heaven swallowing furnace, fully opened in reverse!

A foul, high-dimensional power of pollution, mixed with the remains of an Old God, surged through Lu Sheng's claw and was frantically injected into the angel's "divine body"!

"No—!!!"

The angel let out a shriek of extreme terror.

His pure body of Holy Light was stained with mottled, twisted dark colors at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At that moment, Lu Sheng let go with his mouth, licked the golden blood and Holy Sword fragments from the corners of his lips, and revealed a smile that would make even gods and demons tremble.

He exerted force with both hands, and amidst a series of ear-piercing tearing sounds, he forcibly ripped off the twelve light wings symbolizing holiness and glory from the angel's back with his bare hands!
