109: Tracing the origins of armor plates, the divine prison is coming.

Under the Cloud Court's secret interrogation techniques, the Soul defenses of the two captured Divine Prison Walkers crumbled like fragile thin ice.

They confessed that the dark gold armor fragment, which they called a "Sacred Relic Fragment," originated from an ancient civilization—the "haotian civilization"—that had long since vanished into the river of history.

Legend had it that the haotian civilization once suppressed all evil with its supreme righteous Qi, and its leftover Sacred Relics possessed a natural counter to the various forbidden powers studied by the Divine Prison.

The Divine Prison had been searching for these fragments for a long time, intending to thoroughly destroy or control them.

The Divine Prison itself was a vast, tightly structured, and strictly hierarchical organization, internally divided into "Walkers," "Adjudicators," "Chief Adjudicators," and the legendary "Prison Lord."

They lurked in the shadows of the Void Realm, dedicated to "purifying" all existences they deemed "dangerous" or "abnormal," employing cruel methods and exacting vengeful retribution.

"It seems we've stirred up a hornet's nest by bidding on this armor fragment," Nie Li said with a grave expression.

Meanwhile, Yun Qiao was engrossed in studying the armor fragment.

She continuously nurtured and communicated with it day and night using her pure Law of Life and Wood Spirit Origin, finally touching a trace of dormant spirituality deep within the fragment one day.

In an instant, a fragmented scene flooded her mind: a vast, boundless, golden-radiant ancient Divine Court crumbling under the impact of an endless dark demonic tide, with an armor fragment carrying an undying divinity escaping into the Void Realm...

"This armor fragment... is part of the battle armor of a supreme being named 'haotian'!" Yun Qiao concluded with shock.

"The Law of purification and protection it contains might have a miraculous effect in helping us deal with dark forces like the Abyss and the Divine Prison!"

Just as the Cloud Court was intensely researching the armor fragment, interrogating prisoners, and strengthening defenses, the Divine Prison's retaliation came faster and more fiercely than anticipated!

Deep within the Void Realm, a colossal fortress resembling a grotesque skull—the "Divine Prison Branch"—was slowly approaching the Demon Spirit Continent.

Surrounding the fortress, hundreds of black warships emblazoned with symbols of chains and torture instruments swirled like a flock of crows, emanating a suffocating aura of death.

The highest Chief Adjudicator of the branch, a terrifying existence codenamed "Chief Adjudicator Ming Gu" with a Qi comparable to a third-tier Heavenly Mandate Realm expert, sat on a throne of bones, his eyes burning with cold fury.

"A mere newly established plane dares to repeatedly provoke the Divine Prison's majesty!

Those who killed my Walkers must pay the price!

The Sacred Relic Fragment must be retrieved!

Transmit my order, activate 'World Annihilation-level' deterrence, target—Demon Spirit Continent!

I want that Star Domain to be barren!" Chief Adjudicator Ming Gu commanded grimly.

In front of the Divine Prison Branch, three colossal "Star Destroyer Cannons" began to charge, dark red destructive energy converging and emitting terrifying fluctuations capable of annihilating stars!

Once fired in unison, the Star Domain where the Demon Spirit Continent was located would be completely erased from the Star Map!

Inside the Cloud Court Star Observation Hall, alarms blared!

On the Star Map, the huge red dot representing the Divine Prison Branch and the threat level of those three charging colossal cannons instantly soared to maximum!

"Court Master!" Nie Li, Yun Hao, and Yun Qiao instantly appeared behind Yun Feng, their expressions more solemn than ever.

This time, it wasn't a minor skirmish with Walkers, but a regular Divine Prison Branch, deploying World Annihilation-level weapons!

Yun Feng slowly rose, his gaze piercing through the endless Void Realm, falling upon the three charging Star Destroyer Cannons, his eyes calm and unperturbed.

"Mere clowns, incessantly noisy."

He did not use any Magic Treasure, nor did he display complex Divine Abilities; he merely raised his right hand, slowly clenched his five fingers towards the direction of the Divine Prison Branch, making a "crushing" motion.

Meanwhile, hundreds of millions of miles away, at the Divine Prison Branch.

Chief Adjudicator Ming Gu was complacently awaiting the arrival of destruction when suddenly, he felt the surrounding Void Realm... solidify!

It wasn't an energy restraint, but the entire spatial dimension, as if it were being forcibly gripped and compressed by an invisible giant hand!

The three Star Destroyer Cannons, about to finish charging, emitted a bone-jarring metallic screech as if they were aluminum cans thrown into a hydraulic press; their barrels instantly bent and collapsed, and the destructive energy condensed within them lost its restraint, violently exploding!

But this explosion couldn't even spread out, being forcibly annihilated by the invisible spatial compression force!

Following that, it was the entire Divine Prison Branch fortress!

The grotesque skull-shaped fortress, comparable to a small star, began to crack and disintegrate inch by inch from the outside, like a clay toy, under the grip of that invisible giant hand!

Countless Divine Prison warriors and Adjudicators didn't even have time to scream before they turned into cosmic dust with the disintegration of the fortress!

Chief Adjudicator Ming Gu was terrified beyond measure, frantically burning his Origin in an attempt to break free from this inconceivable restraint, but found himself like an insect in amber, unable to move even a single finger!

He could only watch helplessly as the fortress he relied on for survival, symbolizing his power and strength, was literally "crushed" before his eyes!

"No—!!!" He let out a desperate roar.

The next moment, the compressed power suddenly erupted!

Boom!!!

An indescribably brilliant light exploded at the location where the Divine Prison Branch had been, like the birth of a supernova!

After the light dissipated, only absolute emptiness remained there; even spatial fragments and energy residue were completely wiped clean, as if the Divine Prison Branch and its fleet had never existed in that Star Domain.

In the Cloud Court Star Observation Hall, the huge red dot on the Star Map had disappeared.

Yun Feng slowly lowered his hand, as if merely flicking off a speck of dust from his sleeve.

"Cleanup complete."

Nie Li and the other two exchanged glances; even though they were accustomed to the Court Master's unfathomable depth, they still felt a tingling sensation on their scalps at this moment.

Crushing a Divine Prison Branch from hundreds of millions of miles away with bare hands?!

What kind of Realm was this?!

After this battle, the Cloud Court and the Divine Prison had completely forged an irreconcilable enmity, a fight to the death.

However, the overwhelming strength displayed by Yun Feng undoubtedly proclaimed to the entire endless Void Realm—the Cloud Court possessed the ability to define "destruction."

And the secrets hidden behind the haotian armor fragment, which had sparked the conflict, seemed to become even more enigmatic with this attack from the Divine Prison.
