197: Chapter 197 The Arrival of Extraterrestrial Raiders! Gene Harvesting? System Reverse Purification!

At the edge of the Central Star Sea, in the region where the cosmic crystal barrier had shattered.

"Buzz——"

The massive Nine-Dragon Planet-Destroying Warship V3.0, guided by the Primordial Thunder Beast, resembled a black sword cutting through the starry sky, sailing steadily toward the cracked border of the Universe.

Inside the main control room, the atmosphere was murderous.

One hundred thousand Dragon Cavalry had entered full combat readiness, and the energy cores of their Taiyi Radiance-Star-Class Single-Soldier Mechas emitted a low rumble.

Lin Que sat upright on the captain's throne.

At this moment, having just devoured the Chaos Star Core, his cultivation base was firmly stabilized at the "Dao Integration Realm, Fourth Stage."

Beneath his skin, the terrifying physical limit of 300 million catties was perfectly contained within his thirty-six Starfall Apertures.

He did not deliberately release his aura, but simply by sitting there, the surrounding Taiyi Glazed Gold deck was pressed down slightly by his own dense gravitational force, forming a natural absolute physical force field.

"My Lord, we are about to reach the crystal barrier rupture zone."

The guide Gu Chen, who had restored his appearance to that of a middle-aged man, stood respectfully beside the holographic star map, his expression incomparably grave.

"Once the fence of the Central Star Sea falls, the first ones to smell the scent will definitely be the 'Interstellar Raider Alliance' from the 'East Pole Myriad Star Abyss.' They are half-biological, half-mechanical, act with extreme brutality, and uphold the pure 'Law of the Jungle.'"

Gu Chen slid the star map, pointing to the unknown Star Domain in the deep darkness beyond the border.

"In their eyes, the Central Star Sea, having lost the protection of the Immortal Realm's Formations, is nothing more than an undefended 'pristine pasture.' The Cultivators, planets, and even Spiritual Veins within are all resources that can be sold at a marked price."

Lin Que leaned back in his chair, his slender fingers tapping lightly on the armrest, producing a crisp sound of one long and one short beat.

"A pristine pasture?"

A cold arc flashed in Lin Que's deep, heterochromatic eyes.

"I am very protective of my food. I've only just conquered this territory, and before I've even warmed the seat, they want to come and harvest the leeks?"

"Boom!"

Just then, a violent spatial tremor suddenly erupted from deep within the Universe outside the holographic porthole!

Everyone looked up and saw that the cosmic crystal barrier, already filled with cracks, was struck hard by an invisible giant hammer, shattering with a "crash" to reveal a terrifying gap millions of feet high!

Beyond the gap was no longer the familiar star sea, but a dark red abyss filled with violent cosmic rays and turbulent meteorites!

Immediately after.

One, two, ten... a full ten thousand giant warships, sculpted in ferocious designs and constructed entirely from dark gray primordial alloy, their surfaces covered in countless thick cannon barrels, surged out from that massive gap like a swarm of bloodthirsty locusts of the starry sky!

Each of these warships was no smaller than Lin Que's nine dragon star destroyer, and a uniform emblem of a bleeding gear skull was sprayed on their armor.

"It really is them! The seventh-ranked Raider Legion of the East Pole Myriad Star Abyss—the 'Blood Vajra Fleet'!"

Gu Chen gasped, his voice tight:

"My Lord, the commander-in-chief of this fleet is at least a half-mechanical cyborg at the Middle Stage of the Dao Integration Realm! The weapons mounted on their warships are all unreasonable high-dimensional conceptual weapons!"

Lin Que did not speak, just quietly watching the holographic screen.

As soon as the ten thousand raider warships rushed into the Central Star Sea, they had no intention of negotiating.

At the forefront of the fleet, three main warships locked directly onto a dozen life-bearing planets on the border. These planets were still inhabited by tens of billions of Central Star Sea native Cultivators and Mortals.

"Zzzzz—"

Three massive funnel-shaped emitters suddenly protruded from the bottom of the main warships.

Following that, three beams of miserable green light pierced through the vacuum of the Universe and bombarded those dozen life-bearing planets without mercy!

"What are they doing? Is that a star destroyer cannon?!"

Su Qingyu exclaimed.

"No! That is a 'Gene Harvesting Ray' even crueler than a star destroyer cannon!"

Gu Chen's eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth as he explained:

"This kind of ray does not destroy the planet's mineral structure itself, but it instantly strips the gene chains of all carbon-based life! It squeezes living people directly into pure 'high-dimensional energy blocks'! They are harvesting the lives of the Central Star Sea right in front of you!"

Sure enough.

In the zoomed-in view on the holographic screen, the Cultivators and Mortals on those dozen life-bearing planets didn't even have time to scream the moment they touched the miserable green rays; their bodies withered rapidly like melting candles.

Countless green life energies flowed back up the beams and were sucked into the energy storage depots of the raider warships.

In just a few breaths, tens of billions of living beings were reduced to nothing, and a dozen planets were reduced to dead stars!

"Hahaha! Delightful! This Central Star Sea is indeed a lucrative job! The gene energy of these two-legged sheep raised in a greenhouse is truly pure!"

A burst of extremely arrogant laughter, mixed with mechanical synthesized sounds, broadcast across the entire starry sky via the public channel.

"All ships, listen up! Ignore the pleas for mercy from those native forces, just flatten everything in your path! Capture the women and children of this star sea and sell them as slaves in the West Brahma Star Domain, and squeeze all the men into energy blocks!"

Arrogant!

Extreme high-dimensional arrogance!

In their eyes, the lives of the Central Star Sea were not people at all, but merely crops waiting to be harvested.

"Click."

Inside the main control room, Lin Que slowly stood up.

He gripped the hilt of the taichu world-fall heavy blade, veins bulging on the back of his hand, his terrifying strength of 300 million catties contained in his palm, pressing the surrounding space to emit a teeth-aching cracking sound.

"If you want to beat a dog, you have to look at its master."

Lin Que's gaze cooled to absolute zero.

His crimson cloak fluttered without wind behind him, and he took a single step, crossing the hatch of the main control room, and instantly appeared in the space outside the nine dragon star destroyer!

His sudden appearance immediately drew the attention of the massive raider fleet ahead.

"Huh? There's actually a warship ahead that doesn't have our East Pole license plate?"

In the command room of the raider flagship, a burly bald man with half his head modified into a mechanical prosthetic eye and an aura of the Dao Integration Realm, Fifth Stage, narrowed his only remaining biological eye and looked at Lin Que on the holographic screen.

"Commander, database comparison shows that the warship is a creation of the local Central Star Sea giant, 'Heavenly God Heavy Industry.' However, that native in white standing in the front... there is no high-dimensional True Qi fluctuation detected on him; he seems to be just a Mortal?"

The adjutant reported from the side.

"Heavenly God Heavy Industry? Just a village blacksmith shop working for the Immortal Realm."

The bald commander snorted in disdain:

"Whatever he is, if he dares to block my way, just squeeze him dry!"

"Main cannon charging! Give him a 'maximum power' Gene Harvesting Ray! I want to see how much oil can be squeezed out of this native's bones!"

"Yes, sir!"

Boom!

The muzzles of the raider flagship instantly turned, locking tightly onto Lin Que, who was as small as a speck of dust in space.

A miserable green ray, ten times thicker than before, carrying a disgusting Law of Deprivation, crossed the void and bombarded Lin Que's chest like a venomous snake!

"My Lord, be careful! That is a conceptual deprivation at the genetic level; even the strongest Physical Body cannot block it!"

Gu Chen shouted anxiously from inside the warship.

However, Lin Que, standing in the vacuum of the Universe, did not even raise the heavy blade in his hand.

He even cooperatively opened his chest, letting that miserable green ray shine on him without reservation.

"Want to harvest my genes?"

Lin Que felt the high-dimensional power of deprivation in the ray that attempted to dismantle his DNA and drain his Qi and blood.

In his heterochromatic eyes, not only was there no fear, but a mockery as if looking at an idiot appeared.

The 300 million catties of physical limit I attained from cultivating the "Great Desolation Star-Fall Body" can't even be split by the Heavenly Tribulation, and you want to dismantle it with this broken flashlight?

Lin Que called the System in his mind, unhurriedly.

"System."

"The green light wave sent by these iron lumps from the East Pole seems to have purified quite a bit of freshly harvested life energy. I'll take it all with the 'Blood Scripture'."

"As for the disgusting side effects of 'gene dismantling, life exhaustion, and physical liquefaction'..."

Lin Que's gaze, like two sharp swords piercing the abyss, locked tightly onto the largest raider flagship in the distance!

"The usual rule, package it all! Follow this green network cable and pour it back into them for me!"

"Since they like squeezing juice so much, let their tens of thousands of people squeeze each other to their heart's content inside the warship!"

"Perform reverse purification for me!!!"

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

[Detected high-dimensional technology DeBuff: Gene Harvesting Ray (forced collapse of underlying gene chains, life exhaustion liquefaction, irreversible dissolution).]

[Locked transfer target: Ray emission source — Blood Vajra Fleet Commander and all shipboard members under his command!]

[Logic reconstruction complete! Ignoring high-dimensional energy shields! Karma lines have been perfectly reversed and bound!]

[Reverse liquefaction mode, bombardment starting!!!]

Buzz—!

Under the absolute dimension-reduction strike of the System that ignores physical science!

The miserable green beam of light bombarding Lin Que instantly changed color!

Those vicious "Laws of gene deprivation" were forcibly extracted by the System, and what remained was the pure [Origin of Life] contained in the tens of billions of living beings harvested just now and the ray itself!

"Blood Scripture — Extreme Realm Furnace, swallow it for me!"

Lin Que opened his mouth, the Universe within the million-mile starry sky roared into operation, and like a whale swallowing water, he swallowed this vast Origin of Life into his belly in one gulp.

The World Tree swayed and shone, and his 300 million catties of physical limit became even more tenacious and flawless under the nourishment of this vitality!

And at the same time.

Inside the raider flagship millions of miles away.

"Hahaha! That native is dead! He will soon become a puddle..."

The bald commander was chewing on an interstellar cigar, laughing triumphantly.

However, his laughter stuck abruptly in his throat.

"Beep beep beep — Alert! Alert!"

"The interior of the warship has encountered unknown reverse genetic contamination! Biological filtration System failure!"

The smart brain let out an extremely shrill scream.

"What contamination?!"

The bald commander stood up abruptly. Before he could react.

"Pfft—!"

The adjutant standing beside him sprayed a large mouthful of miserable green acid without warning.

Immediately after, the adjutant's skin peeled off rapidly like dissolved rubber, and his bones softened inch by inch.

"Commander... save... save me..."

In just one second, the adjutant who was alive just a moment ago melted into a puddle of bubbling green thick water in front of the commander's horrified eyes!

Not just the adjutant!

Inside the entire main control room, and even in the tens of thousands of warships of the entire massive fleet!

All raiders with carbon-based life characteristics let out inhuman screams!

The System's reverse side effects detonated precisely at the bottom layer of their gene chains!

"No!! My body!! Why did my mechanical prosthesis melt too!!!"

The bald commander looked at his hands in despair.

His proud Dao Integration Realm, Fifth Stage cultivation was as fragile as a joke in the face of this conceptual-level "reverse genetic liquefaction."

Even the mechanical parts made of primordial alloy fell into those puddles of viscous green pus with a "clatter" after losing the support of the Physical Body.

Silent horror spread across the starry sky.

In just ten breaths.

The ten thousand high-dimensional raider warships that were just arrogant, domineering, and intended to carve up the Central Star Sea instantly turned into "living coffins" floating in space.

All the life forms inside, without firing a single shot, were liquefied into energy water by the "squeezing side effects" that the System returned exactly as they were!

A bloodless victory, wiping out the whole clan!

Lin Que stood in the vacuum.

Feeling the fully brimming power within his body, he slowly pulled out the taichu world-fall heavy blade he was carrying on his shoulder.

"My Lord... the enemy's fleet... has been wiped out?!"

On the nine dragon star destroyer, Gu Chen, the Chen Family Old Ancestor, and the others were stunned.

They didn't even see how Lin Que made his move, and that terrifying legion, rumored to be ranked seventh in the East Pole Star Domain, just inexplicably died collectively?

"A bunch of scavengers dare to come to my territory to act recklessly."

Lin Que carried the ten-million-catty heavy blade in one hand, the tip of the blade pointing far away at the ten thousand ownerless warships stalled in the starry sky like a forest of steel.

He swung his crimson cloak violently, and his voice, like an ancient demon god, blasted directly into the Sea of Consciousness of all the Dragon Cavalry through the vacuum:

"The dog barking outside has been cleaned up."

"Old Chen, Zhao Xiao!"

"Take the men up and clean the floor!"

The corner of Lin Que's mouth curled into an extremely domineering smile, and his heterochromatic eyes looked into the depths of the shattered cosmic crystal barrier.

"Since the outside world likes to be unreasonable so much."

"Then that's perfect."

"What I am best at is reasoning with others using physics!"
