141: Orion? Chasing the heavens across the universe!

Tourists in London's Trafalgar Square collectively looked up, watching the emergency broadcast on the BBC:

Shelley's ice crystal storm froze the entire Century Avenue, with hexagonal ice flowers refracting colors like the aurora under the sunlight.

When Morning Dew's six-winged Holy Light pierced through the clouds, the prayer bells of the Vatican suddenly rang on their own.

Even under the Nasdaq screen in New York's Times Square, investors forgot about the market crash and the recent economic news.

Every eye was fixed on that large screen, watching Ning Xiwei's bone puppet legion maintaining the formation around the entire Planetarium's perimeter.

As for when Sun Feifei's five elements flags were planted into the base of the Halley's Comet model,

The young girl's valiant and pretty figure in her Taoist robes filled the entire screen.

The taiji diagram on her Taoist robe flapped loudly in the wind.

When Lu Chen's figure appeared at the top of the dome and the golden compass floated before the Orion projection,

He tore open the hem of his hoodie, which had been slashed by the energy backflow, revealing the crystallization patterns spreading from his collarbone!

In the next instant, he transformed into his Skeleton True Form Incarnation!

Immediately, in live stream rooms across the globe,

Countless bullet chats of "Hubby, let's cuddle" instantly exploded.

Shanghai.

"Viewers, what we are seeing now are not special effects!"

A CCTV reporter roared from a nearby helicopter, "Those ice crystals... Oh my god! Do you see them? Those people on the perimeter are students from China's major Cultivation and Magic Academies! And powerful military units!"

Ignis's great sword was sent flying by an invisible force!

In the lens of the helicopter circling in the sky:

Countless Bronze Chains extended from the Blood-colored Vertical Pupil, each chain skewering a phantom of a human heart.

Such footage also appeared on the screens of people all over the world.

At the top of the trending lists for foreign news media, it instantly became #SaveShanghai#.

At the same time, a million signatures flooded the White House petition website.

Shelley controlled countless tiny ice crystal Phoenixes, forming a defense matrix like a swarm of drones.

"Lu Chen! The force field is reversing!" Sun Feifei's scream reached Lu Chen through the equipment.

It also spread throughout the world at the same time.

A powerful magic storm surged from beneath the Planetarium.

Forming a massive tornado!

NASA's live broadcast showed that the International Space Station also captured the bronze-colored light shield enveloping East Asia.

As for China's space station, it had already received the first batch of powerhouses from Earth.

Three Ninth-Rank Great Masters of Eastern Immortal Arts.

Six Magister-level Magic Swordsmen and Mages.

The Chinese space station in this world was very large.

It even had bases on Earth.

The scene in Shanghai.

"Get back!"

Lu Chen gave a thunderous shout, and the golden compass instantly decomposed into three hundred and sixty streams of light.

Using the Power of the Undead, he wrote an ancient Talismanic Incantation in the Void Realm!

Audiences from all countries simultaneously saw the floating Eastern Talismanic Incantations.

These were ancient Chinese characters.

Symbols from a hundred thousand years ago.

In Lu Chen's eyes at this moment, the power of heaven and earth converged.

Using the stars of heaven and earth as power, and the space between heaven and earth as his footing.

The galaxy is the board, souls are the pieces;

I dare to place this move against the firmament.

Do not say a Mortal lacks ambition;

A single sword can open a new era!

The tianwen sword instantly triggered a nine heavens lightning storm that struck the vertical pupil emerging from the storm rift; the clouds the sword light passed through revealed phantoms of the twelve golden men.

As soon as the blood-red vertical pupil appeared,

The practitioners of this world,

Whether they were Mages or Eastern Mystic Cultivators, as long as they were practitioners with low Realms, they were all heavily injured!

The Onmyoji Association in Tokyo collectively spat out blood!

The Shikigami tablets they worshipped all shattered!

The murals on the dome of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican peeled off, revealing hidden Incomplete Manuals;

Golden light shot from the top of the Egyptian Pyramids, echoing the battle scene in Shanghai.

Ignis took the opportunity to break into the core area; the Flame Demon Tattoo detached from her skin, and in an instant, she transformed into a Fire Dragon!

"—I'll roast you!!!"

The moment the great sword cleaved through the Bronze Chains!

Some viewers watching the live stream were so excited they almost fainted.

So cool!

Shelley's figure appeared behind the vertical pupil; with a wave of her hand, a massive ice crystal pierced directly into the vertical pupil's iris!

Absolute zero caused the blood-red color to freeze into ice crystal petals.

Exclamations came from the live stream room; ice crystal auroras even appeared in the sky.

Morning Dew also seeped Holy Light into the ley lines, directly purifying the heavenly dao contamination beneath the Planetarium.

At the same time, some walls actually began to seep Sweet Dew.

"Now—!" Ning Xiwei shouted in a clear voice!

The book of the dead in her hand released a thousand Undead Soul Soldiers—these thousand Ghost Soldiers.

They traveled directly into the base of the vertical pupil.

Global surveillance captured the spectacle of spiritual bodies passing through the subway; #GhostArmy# topped the trending searches in various countries within thirty seconds.

Sun Feifei immediately used the five elements flags to trigger earth tremors, and the ground rumbled loudly.

The final moment.

When the tip of Lu Chen's sword pierced into the core of the pupil!

The entire world fell silent for ten seconds!

When only the slanted tianwen sword remained on the lawn of the Shanghai Planetarium,

The bullet chats were blank for a full three minutes!

Until Morning Dew appeared on camera holding the unconscious Lu Chen... the world was in an uproar!

All the viewers in front of the live broadcast screens erupted in cheers.

Resonating through the world.

The backends of all live streaming platforms were crashed by the flood of bullet chats, leading to direct outages.

"He needs rest." Morning Dew, dressed as a little nun, this divine priestess gently wiped the golden blood from the corner of Lu Chen's mouth; the Holy Light on her body had also dimmed significantly.

She was continuously transferring magic power to Lu Chen.

Ignis also limped back to retrieve her half-melted sword hilt; she glanced at the reporters in the sky and raised her middle finger to the camera!

"You guys only run fast! You're not useful at all!" Ignis complained unhappily!

Shelley silently condensed ice crystals to repair Lu Chen's bones.

At this moment, Lu Chen was in the form of a white skeleton.

Ning Xiwei's undead army Puppets were responsible for guarding and cleaning up the battlefield.

On TikTok, battle footage of Lu Chen looking heroic yet possessing an emperor's overbearing Aura immediately became popular today.

Lu Chen opened his eyes on the stretcher and couldn't help but sigh:

"Orion... I suppose I'll have to make a trip to the hiding place of those vertical pupils!"

As his voice fell, space telescopes deep in the starry sky from China and the USA once again saw a hundred thousand Blood-colored Vertical Pupils opening simultaneously in a nebula three thousand light-years away... the battle ended.

Global celebration.

China saved the world.

Lu Chen saved the world.

Especially his emperor-like Aura.

It made the world look up in admiration!

Cheers erupted in a bar in Berlin; students projected Lu Chen's portrait onto the Brandenburg Gate;

In the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, children used stones to lay out the pattern of the golden compass;

Archaeologists in Cairo painted a brand new mural in a secret passage of the Pyramids that very night: —A Skeleton Warrior and five women facing off against the Starry Sky Giant Eye.

Late that night, the White House urgently held a press conference; the spokesperson tremblingly held up a blurry photo of Lu Chen, "We are maintaining close communication with... uh... China, uh, a non... uh, ally."

As for Russia, Russian Television was also playing the battle clips on loop, set to Tchaikovsky's '1812 Overture'... the warrior nation yearned for and worshipped such a hero!

Not to mention Lu Chen's emperor-like heroic posture.

—A True Great Emperor!

As for the citizens of Shanghai, they spontaneously gathered at The Bund, their phone lights merging into a sea of stars.

Praying for today's battle.

Making wishes for Lu Chen.

No one knew who started it, but suddenly ten million people shouted in unison the poem carved on the hilt of the tianwen sword:

—"A single sword can open a new era!"

When the sound waves shattered the clouds!

Lu Chen was lying in the medical bay of his private jet, smiling bitterly!

"Now I've really become an internet celebrity... this is unbelievable!"
