140: A power that transcends heaven and earth!
Ning Xiwei turned to the final page of her book of the dead. A hundred thousand skeletal ghost soldiers carved a path into the Mortal realm, carrying the gathered Power of the Undead to violently bombard the star tracks.
Thunder crashed down frantically from the horizon.
"Die!" Lu Chen roared, wielding ten thousand bolts of lightning as he pierced his sword tip into the vertical pupil!
In an instant, time and space suddenly stood still.
Xu Fu's sigh echoed within the Bronze City!
"Alas, this is the Game of Heaven. How can a Mortal ever outplay the Heavens? Old friend, you have ultimately become a part of the Heavenly Dao after all!"
Crystallized cracks instantly crawled across Lu Chen's entire body, but they were blocked by a five-colored radiance when they reached his heart—it was those five girls, who had been healing him and suppressing the crystallization power.
Every time, it was the Origin power they had channeled to him.
And now, they were protecting Lu Chen's last shred of spiritual consciousness, the undead Origin!
"Noisy!" Lu Chen shattered the crystallized shell and his sword tip crushed the astral instrument. "My fate is determined by me...!"
Before the words could fully leave his mouth,
He turned back, looking at the girls behind him who had already formed the Five Elements Heaven and Earth Formation,
A wild and arrogant smile curled on his lips, "—By us!"
...As the morning sun rose, the Bronze City turned into bronze rain and fell into the Huangpu River.
Morning Dew's Holy Light was healing the wounded,
Ignis was rummaging through the ruins for anything scorched,
Shelley used ice crystals to reshape the spire of the Oriental Pearl Tower that had been broken by the lightning.
Lu Chen leaned against the broken bronze door frame, controlling the golden compass to absorb the power of this place.
He absorbed all of the rampaging magic power.
The residual spiritual energy from the Formations between heaven and earth was also completely absorbed, not a single drop left.
A wondrous reorganization was taking place inside the golden compass.
It seemed as though it was about to upgrade.
At that moment, Sun Feifei walked over. She had obtained a remote star map sent from the Huaxia Space Station from the local Security General Headquarters.
"Little Skeleton, look at this—on the Orion Arm three thousand light-years away, a hundred thousand blood-colored vertical pupils suddenly appeared. They all opened their eyes at the same time."
Has even the Universe been eroded?
Indeed, under the Heavenly Dao, how can anything survive?
What the Heavens want to destroy is everything in the world!
The Universe is also but dust under this Heavenly Dao.
Whether it be planets or life.
"Yes, I know. Huaxia's technology is powerful enough, and there are many cultivators... Those above will take care of what they are responsible for. What we need to do is focus on dealing with the Heavenly Dao; everything else we can only do in passing."
Ignis walked over at this time and said irritably:
"Whether it's the Heavenly Dao or a dog's Dao, in front of this lady, they all have to—explode!"
Shelley also dropped down from the sky, expressing her attitude,
"Under my Absolute Zero, even gods must fall silent. We have no fear of the Heavens; at worst, we'll just fight with our lives on the line."
After Morning Dew sent the last injured person into the ambulance, she walked over slowly. She also saw the star map sent by the Kunlun District Security General Headquarters. Her expression was slightly startled, then she looked at the surrounding wreckage and said resolutely:
—"As long as the Holy Light is not extinguished, this world shall have peace."
Ning Xiwei didn't speak, she just gripped Lu Chen's hand tightly.
She had already expressed her stance.
Wherever Lu Chen was, she would be.
Sun Feifei yawned, her face looking lazy and indifferent as she said:
—"The world's fate is not yet decided; you and I are both dark horses! What is there to fear?"
Sun Feifei's words made all the girls smile faintly.
As for Lu Chen, he put away the golden compass.
He looked at the dissipating afterimage of Xu Fu in the distance, and those constantly rotting bronze colossi, and gave a cold smile, saying sharply:
"If Heaven wants to destroy you, what does that have to do with me? If my sword wants to slay you, what does that have to do with Heaven! —Then let it come!"
After this battle,
Lu Chen could feel that his strength was already with one foot in the Ninth Tier.
Even because his memories were fully restored,
Every time he summoned the Astronomical Sword to fight, the phantoms of the twelve golden men would swirl around the blade, and even the phantom of the Ancient City of Xianyang would appear behind him.
Every strand of his Sword Qi was mixed with the roars of the Terracotta Army's thousands of horses and soldiers.
Lu Chen also discovered a wondrous use for the golden compass.
The copper coins formed the river map and book of luo formation, which could instantly transform the Lujiazui Financial District into an Innate Eight Trigrams battlefield.
Inside this Formation, his power surged.
He had the strength of a Magister,
And even approached that of a Grand Magister.
It was even possible to enter the King level in one step.
As for the girls, with Sun Feifei's help, the Five Elements Formation was also quite suitable for them.
Flame Demon Fire channeled the earth's meridians;
ice crystals sealed the heavens and locked the earth;
Holy Light purified pollution;
The undead reversed life and death, controlling Puppet undead.
Daoist Magic harmonized Yin and Yang, casting the profound mysteries of heaven and earth... Three days later.
Ignis also received a star map from the Flame Tower. At the same time, her eldest uncle told her one thing: her ancestors, the Hell Flame Demons, had once campaigned in Orion;
The battlefields of that era were not limited to Earth.
They were even among the planets of the Universe!
Time passed just like that.
After the Heavenly Dao failed once, it seemed to be preparing an even greater crisis.
It did all this to continuously absorb power until it finally fully restored its strength.
It would break through the restrictions of the Law and descend as a Heavenly Dao Incarnation to destroy all living beings.
These living beings were not just those on Earth!
But everything!
It wanted to destroy everything where life existed.
One day, a scientific research station in the Arctic received an extraterrestrial distress signal;
The news was immediately transmitted to the Arctic Realm.
The several Grand Elders handling state affairs in the Arctic Realm
Immediately notified friendly nations such as Huaxia.
Huaxia also informed those major Imperial Dynasties handed down from ancient times.
Although they no longer held current power, they had the obligation to know.
Among them was the Chu Imperial Dynasty.
At the same time, among those who were cured after the pollution in Magic City, some would frantically draw unknown runes as if they had gone mad.
And Lu Chen's golden compass also completely predicted where the next battlefield would be during this time!
It was in Magic City!
Right at the world's largest Magic City Planetarium.
The Heavenly Dao's goal for this world-ending event a hundred thousand years later had clearly been well thought out.
To hinder the revival of civilization, it intended to wipe out even technological civilizations completely.
Lu Chen took the girls to Magic City that very day.
Accompanying them was a contact person from the military.
A day later.
The dome theater of the Magic City Planetarium was playing "A Brief History of the Universe." When it projected the Orion Nebula, the image had already distorted into a blood-colored vertical pupil.
Lu Chen, who was waiting here, saw this scene and was clearly not surprised.
The Heavenly Dao also evolves.
With every world-ending event, it increases its own wisdom.
The methods used for each world-ending event are different.
It is also growing.
At the same time, science popularization lectures being broadcast live all over the world instantly became scenes of supernatural events.
The bullet chats in some live rooms were scrolling at a speed of a hundred thousand messages per second.
Everyone's gaze was focused on this planetarium in Huaxia's Magic City.
——
All over the world.
"Look! That red-haired sister is flying!" In front of the outdoor big screen in Shibuya, Tokyo, a high school student pointed at the live broadcast and screamed.
On the screen was Ignis, holding the flame demon greatsword, cleaving open the dome of the planetarium.
The lava Sword Qi collided with the protective shield, creating brilliant sparks!
The bullet chats of the live rooms belonging to the news stations following this were instantly filled with "Oh My God" in various languages.
