193: Chapter 193 Physical Descends upon Huangji Star! Stealing the Nation's Fortune? The System Transfers the Shackles of the Great Dao!

Above the Imperial City of Planet Huangji, Great Sun Divine Dynasty.

The Planet-Protecting Array transformed into a sky full of golden rain, drifting down.

Stripped of all defenses, the Imperial City was like a giant shorn of its armor, exposed nakedly to the pitch-black vacuum of the Universe.

"Rumble—"

A hundred thousand Dragon Cavalry clad in [Taiyi Star-Shining Grade Individual Mecha] descended from the star destroyers like a sun-blotting black cloud.

There were no earth-shaking battle cries, only the faint blue exhaust flames from a hundred thousand high-dimensional mecha engines and the uniform, heavy footsteps that trampled the void.

The sense of slaughter brought by such absolute discipline was more despair-inducing than any roar.

Inside the Imperial City, tens of billions of Cultivators, nobles, and powerful clans now looked as pale as death.

The Royal Guards they took pride in were gone, the invincible Planet-Protecting Array was shattered, and even the high and mighty Divine Emperor had been reduced to a pile of ash in the main hall.

The sky of the Central Star Sea had truly collapsed.

"Descend."

Lin Que's calm voice echoed between heaven and earth.

He did not use any flashy escape techniques but simply stepped out from high altitude, letting gravity capture him.

"BOOM—!!!!!"

When Lin Que, dressed in white and carrying the multi-million-jin primordial worldfall heavy blade on his shoulder, landed on the Wuji Square—paved with a single piece of "Ten-Thousand-Year White Jade Marrow"—in the center of the Imperial City.

The entire continental plate of Planet Huangji emitted a cry of extreme agony!

Two hundred and sixty million jin of absolute physical mass!

The kinetic energy from his natural landing alone instantly turned the hundred-thousand-li white jade square into powder.

A bottomless crack centered on Lin Que tore frantically in all directions like lightning, swallowing several magnificent side halls into the ground.

"This... what kind of monster is this?! He didn't even use mana; he crushed the Imperial City square just with his weight?!"

The Prime Minister and the civil and military officials hiding in the distance were scared out of their wits; their knees went weak, and they all knelt in the ruins, not even daring to lift their heads.

Lin Que casually stabbed the primordial worldfall heavy blade into the ruins beside him.

"Buzz—"

As the heavy blade landed, the surrounding space, unable to withstand such dense gravity, showed a visible halo of distortion.

"Old Chen, Zhao Xiao."

Lin Que spoke indifferently.

"Your subordinates are here!"

The two of them, along with the Mecha personal guards, instantly landed behind Lin Que.

"Take over the entire Imperial City. Seal all Teleportation arrays, Interstellar ports, and Resource vaults. Anyone who dares to resist in the Chaos or hide the Divine Dynasty's foundation..."

Lin Que's gaze swept over those trembling nobles.

"Kill them without mercy."

"As you command!"

The hundred thousand Dragon Cavalry dispersed with a boom, like a precision meat grinder, coldly and efficiently taking over this center of power that had ruled the Star Sea for tens of thousands of years.

Lin Que did not bother with those trivial matters.

He stepped forward and walked unhurriedly into the [Lingxiao Divine Palace], which, though teetering, still radiated a brilliant imperial majesty.

At the head of the hall, the Nine-Dragon Divine Throne was empty, leaving only a pile of golden ash that still emitted a lingering warmth.

Stepping onto the jade stairs, Lin Que sat down boldly on the Dragon throne that represented the supreme power of the Central Star Sea.

He was in no hurry to celebrate; instead, he closed his eyes slightly, and his vast Divine Sense instantly pierced through the heavy ground beneath the Dragon throne.

"Although the Great Sun Divine Emperor was a paper tiger who relied on blood-sucking to prolong his life, since he could sit in this position for so long, there must be something truly good hidden beneath Planet Huangji."

As expected.

Under the extreme perception of energy density from the Great Desolation Star-Fall Body, Lin Que sensed something extremely terrifying lurking directly beneath the Dragon throne, a million li deep into the planet's core.

It was a golden giant dragon, a million zhang long, formed entirely from pure [Great Sun Star Sea Origin] and the [Power Of Faith of all living beings]!

The Divine Dynasty's National Luck, the Primordial Dragon Vein!

This was the true foundation of the Great Sun Divine Dynasty.

It gathered the Luck of endless beings from Three Thousand Star Domains and the highest-dimensional Laws of the Heavenly Dao; it was more than a hundred times stronger than the Divine marrow extracted in Skeleton Star City!

"What a big loach. If I stewed this and fed it to my inner Universe, it would save me at least a thousand years of bitter cultivation."

A glint of greed flashed in Lin Que's eyes.

He without hesitation pressed one hand on the armrest of the Nine-Dragon Divine Throne.

"Blood Scripture—Heaven-Swallowing Earth-Devouring!"

Rumble!

The million-li starry inner Universe within Lin Que's Dantian transformed into an extremely violent black hole.

Purple-gold blood Qi, like countless chains, arrogantly pierced through the earth's crust and stabbed directly into the body of the Primordial Dragon Vein!

"ROAR—!!!"

From deep within the earth's core came an earth-shaking dragon roar of agony!

That vast National Luck Origin followed the blood Qi chains, pouring frantically into Lin Que's body like a river bursting its banks!

Pure!

Heavy!

Vast!

Under the nourishment of this National Luck, the World Tree in Lin Que's inner Universe grew frantically, its branches and leaves becoming lush to the extreme.

And the thirty-six Starfall Apertures beneath his skin were like greedy Vicious Beasts, gulping down this top-tier energy of the Star Sea.

Two hundred and sixty-five million jin... two hundred and seventy million jin!

The climb in strength was solid and unstoppable!

However, just as Lin Que had absorbed less than a tenth of the dragon vein's Origin.

A sudden change occurred!

"Presumptuous!!!"

An extremely ancient and weathered roar, permeated with supreme heavenly majesty, suddenly exploded from the deepest part of that National Luck dragon vein!

Immediately after, a phantom of chains appearing in an eerie dark gold followed the channel through which Lin Que extracted the Origin, instantly wrapping around Lin Que's Divine Soul and inner heaven and earth at a speed that transcended physical and True Yuan dimensions.

"He who steals National Luck shall be sealed by the Dao Shackles!"

This was not a backup plan left by the Great Sun Divine Emperor at all, but the [Dao Shackles] buried in the National Luck by the First Divine Emperor who founded the Great Sun Divine Dynasty (suspected to have already ascended to a higher dimension)!

Anyone without the Great Sun royal Bloodline who dared to forcibly absorb this dragon vein would immediately trigger this Heavenly Dao curse!

"Crack, crack, crack..."

Lin Que felt that his indestructible million-li inner Universe was actually making overburdened squeezing sounds under the binding of these Dao Shackles.

The True Yuan circulating violently within him also seemed to have ice water poured on it, instantly stagnating!

"Sealing my cultivation? Strangling my inner heaven and earth?"

Any other Dao Integration Realm expert facing this kind of National Luck backlash from a higher dimension would probably have been scared into cutting the connection and fleeing in panic long ago.

But Lin Que sat on the Dragon throne, his lips slowly curling into an extremely wicked sneer.

"You left a security lock and thought I wouldn't dare move your safe?"

Lin Que did not panic in the slightest; he didn't even slow down his absorption of the dragon vein by half a step.

In his mind, he skillfully knocked on that unreasonable ultimate cheat.

"System."

"I'm going to take all of the National Luck Origin in this dragon vein today."

"As for this hard and stinking 'Dao Shackle', and the fatal side effect of 'sealing cultivation and strangling the inner heaven and earth'..."

A trace of cold killing intent flashed in Lin Que's Heterochromatic pupils.

His vast Divine Sense had already covered the entire Planet Huangji.

Beneath the heavily guarded Royal Mausoleum in the back mountains of the Imperial City, he had long sensed several faint, extremely obscure, and decaying powerful auras.

Those were several Old Ancestors of the Great Sun Divine Dynasty in Secluded meditation!

They were preparing to launch a fatal sneak attack while Lin Que was preoccupied with absorbing the dragon vein.

"Same old rules: strip it all away and repackage it for me!"

"Airdrop it with extreme precision to those old fogies lying in the ancestral graves in the back mountains!"

"Since these shackles were left by your ancestor, then let you, his filial descendants, wear them yourselves!"

[Ding! side effect transfer system has been activated with the highest priority!]

[Detected high-dimensional conceptual debuff: Imperial Dao Shackles (forced sealing of cultivation, inner Universe strangulation, True Spirit imprisonment).]

[Locking transfer target: Great Sun Divine Dynasty Royal Mausoleum (three hidden Dao Integration Realm foundation Old Ancestors)!]

[Logic reconstruction complete! Ignoring Heavenly Dao Bloodline determination! Karma lines have been perfectly reversed and bound!]

[Reverse sealing mode, bombardment beginning!!]

Buzz—!!!

Under this dimensional reduction strike that completely defied universal common sense!

The dark golden shackles wrapped around Lin Que's inner heaven and earth instantly faded away like melting snow.

Not only did they fade, but they also transformed into pure Law nourishment, which the World Tree swallowed in one gulp.

And at the same time.

In the dark and cold depths of the Royal Mausoleum in the back mountains of Planet Huangji.

Three Ancient bronze coffins emitting the terrifying pressure of the Dao Integration Realm were slowly pushing open their lids.

Three royal Old Ancestors, their bodies withered but eyes burning like ghost fires, were preparing to burst out of their coffins to suppress and kill the madman who was stealing the National Luck.

"That brat has already triggered the first Majesty's Dao Shackles; his cultivation is bound to be sealed! Second Brother, Third Brother, strike with me; one hit will—Ugh, ahhh!!!"

Before the leading First Ancestor could finish his sentence, he suddenly let out a scream of extreme agony!

Without any warning! A massive dark golden Dao Shackle appeared out of thin air deep within their Seas of Consciousness and Dantians!

"This... this is the first Majesty's sealing Law?! How could it fall on our heads?!! We are the orthodox royal family!!!"

The three Dao Integration Realm Old Ancestors were terrified and struggled desperately.

But the side effect transferred by the System didn't recognize any royal Bloodline at all. It only recognized the Karma command!

"Crack! Crack!"

The Dao Integration Realm cultivation that the three Old Ancestors had accumulated over tens of thousands of years was instantly sealed tight under this violent strangling force!

Not only that, but their painstakingly cultivated inner heavens and earths were also forcibly strangled into pieces by the shackles!

"No... don't... Ancestor, have mercy..."

Within just a few breaths.

These three foundations of the Divine Dynasty, who were ready to jump out and turn the tide, hadn't even stepped out of the mausoleum's gate before they were extremely aggrievedly strangled in their Primordial Spirits by the trap left by their own ancestor, turning into three truly cold corpses!

Winning without shedding blood, a System counter-kill, not even ash remained.

...

Inside the Lingxiao Divine Palace.

Without the hindrance of the Dao Shackles and without the sneak attack from the Old Ancestors.

Lin Que was like a Chaos beast that had completely opened its appetite.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

That million-zhang-long Primordial Dragon Vein was completely drained by him in an extremely brutal manner!

All the National Luck Origin turned into the ultimate nourishment, exploding frantically within Lin Que's body!

Two hundred and seventy million jin... two hundred and eighty million jin... two hundred and ninety million jin!!!

The moment his pure physical mass approached the three-hundred-million-jin mark, the million-li starry inner Universe within Lin Que's body emitted an earth-shattering roar like the creation of the world.

All the Law stars erupted with light brilliant to the extreme at this moment, and the invisible barrier that had originally blocked his progress was like a thin piece of paper, smashed to pieces by the two-hundred-and-ninety-million-jin Extreme Realm heavy hammer!

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for devouring the Great Sun Divine Dynasty's National Luck dragon vein!]

[The Laws of the inner heaven and earth have reached ultimate sublimation!]

[Current cultivation has made a powerful Breakthrough: Dao Integration Realm (Third Layer)!!!]

"Whew..."

Lin Que slowly opened his eyes.

A deep purple-gold divine light shot from his eyes, directly piercing the hall's dome and vanishing into the vast Star Sea.

Sitting on that Dragon throne symbolizing the supreme power of the Central Star Sea, he casually cracked his neck.

A terrifying mass of two hundred and ninety million jin, and the cultivation of a Dao Integration Realm Third Layer expert.

At this moment, he had truly achieved a state where in this Universe, with a single thought, galaxies would shatter; with a single thought, all Laws would vanish.

"Lord!"

Outside the hall, Chen Family Old Ancestor and Zhao Xiao walked in quickly; seeing Lin Que's bottomless and terrifying aura, the two of them knelt on the ground in extreme awe.

"The Imperial City has been completely purged, and three corpses of Old Ancestors who died bizarrely were found in the Royal Mausoleum. The entire treasury of the Great Sun Divine Dynasty has fallen into Lord's hands!"

Lin Que stood up and lifted the worldfall heavy blade, which had evolved to be even heavier.

He did not look at the mountain-like battle reports and wealth.

He stepped out of the Lingxiao Divine Palace, stood on the high jade steps, and looked up at the deepest parts of the Universe, even deeper and more distant than the Central Star Sea.

Although the Great Sun Divine Dynasty had been wiped out, he knew that the aura behind those Dao Shackles just now did not belong to this Star Sea.

"The Central Star Sea instance can be considered cleared."

The corners of Lin Que's mouth curled into a demon lord's smile full of wildness and a desire for conquest:

"But the peak of this Universe..."

"It seems there are even more interesting things waiting for me to flip the table."
