126: Chapter 126: The Golden Body of Dharma Image VS. Drone Matrix Projection – The Entire Internet is Laughing at the 50-Cent Special Effects

Six hundred meters above the China World Trade Center.

Xiao Aotian felt as if his lungs were about to explode.

Dozens of gallium nitride searchlight beams surrounded him like solid steel needles, pinning him firmly in the Void Realm.

The humiliation of being watched from all sides by industrial civilization drove him into a state of absolute madness.

"Mortals! You have forced my hand!"

He let out a shrill, desperate roar.

The last sliver of purple flame in his Sea of Consciousness, known as the "Ember of the Heavenly Dao," flickered wildly.

This was the Foundation he had brought with him during his Transmigration; once burned away, he would not even have the chance for Reincarnation.

But he could not care about that anymore.

In the center of this city, known as the heart of Huaxia, he could not end his performance like a clown.

His originally thirty-meter-tall illusory Golden Body expanded frantically, as if injected with a massive amount of nitrogen.

Forty meters.

Sixty meters.

One hundred meters.

The massive golden phantom straddled the two buildings of the China World Trade Center.

Xiao Aotian's face, forcefully rendered by the golden light, appeared hideous and twisted.

He attempted to use his massive size to counteract the oppressive feeling brought by the searchlights.

"My true form has manifested, why do all living beings not bow!"

His voice, agitated by the remaining magical power, formed circles of visible white shockwaves.

The glass curtain walls of the entire CBD business district were emitting fine, trembling sounds.

On the streets, the crowd, who had been ready to watch the show, fell into a commotion once again.

"Holy crap, it got bigger! It actually got bigger!"

"A person over a hundred meters tall standing on the roof, it's too terrifying."

"Let's run, what if he falls and crushes someone?"

Inside the command center, Chen Xiaobei's fingers were almost a blur on the Keyboard.

"Team leader, the target's bio-energy index is growing exponentially."

"He is sacrificing his Divine Soul to forcefully maintain a large-scale output of Spiritual Qi."

"The electromagnetic environment around the China World Trade Center has begun to destabilize; civil aviation and signal stations are being affected."

Gu Changan remained as steady as Mount Tai, sitting on his swivel chair.

He picked up his cold green tea and took a sip, his eyes as calm as if he were watching a cheap circus act.

"Burning his life to hold on?"

"Xiao Aotian, your understanding of the word 'power' is still stuck at the primitive level of physical size."

Gu Changan put down the teacup and picked up the red dedicated microphone on the table.

"Notify the Beijing office of the 'Nantianmen Project'."

"Activate the holographic matrix projection System."

"Since he likes to play with visual shocks, let him see what a national-level perspective is."

As the order was issued.

Around the China World Trade Center, dozens of skyscrapers originally in energy-saving mode suddenly went dark simultaneously.

Silence.

Only the frantic roars of Xiao Aotian in the clouds remained.

The next second.

Tens of thousands of special drones, originally lurking on the rooftops and shadows of the buildings, took off simultaneously.

They precisely networked in the night sky, forming a massive cubic dot matrix.

Dozens of industrial-grade high-energy laser emitters hidden in shipping containers aimed simultaneously at the clouds and water vapor in the sky.

Just as Xiao Aotian was preparing to wave his arm to vent his last bit of destructive desire.

The colors between heaven and earth, originally occupied by golden light, were suddenly replaced by a more solemn and pure deep blue.

Directly opposite Xiao Aotian's one-hundred-meter-tall Dharma Idol, the space seemed to be forcibly pulled open like a giant screen.

An image of a giant wearing a deep blue law enforcement uniform, with a shining national emblem on his chest, formed with a boom under the signal superposition of ten thousand drones.

Five hundred meters.

Eight hundred meters.

One thousand meters.

The giant's feet stepped on the ground near the China World Trade Center, while his head was completely submerged in the clouds.

His facial features were clearly visible, his expression serious and impartial.

In front of that giant in the judge's uniform, Xiao Aotian's one-hundred-plus-meter-tall Golden Body appeared so humble and ridiculous.

The difference in scale.

This was a difference in scale that made all the spectators feel their Souls tremble.

Xiao Aotian tilted his head back, his neck making a cracking sound due to the extreme angle.

He discovered that his Dharma Idol, which he was so proud of, only reached the opponent's knee.

It was like a tramp wearing a cheap reflective vest trying to punch a Titan giant that held up the sky.

The metallic luster refracted by the national emblem in the projection was ten thousand times more realistic than the flickering fake golden light on Xiao Aotian.

"This is impossible..."

"Mortals... How can Mortals have such illusion magic that can move mountains and rivers..."

Xiao Aotian shouted in a breakdown, the golden light in his hand transforming into a long sword as he thrust it forward.

But he only pierced through the light and shadow interwoven by tens of thousands of lasers.

There was no tactile feedback.

His attack, in the face of scientific algorithms, completely missed.

On the streets, the crowd, who had been preparing to flee, collectively froze.

Immediately after, roars of laughter and cheers resounded throughout Chang'an Avenue.

"Hahahaha! I'm dying of laughter, that golden guy looked pretty tough just now, why is he like a kindergartner now?"

"Look at that comparison, this holographic projection is amazing!"

"I give these special effects full marks; the golden one looks like a fifty-cent pirated online game, but look at our giant in uniform, even the wrinkles on the clothes are clearly visible."

"Is this the legendary 'dimensional reduction strike'?"

"Record it, record it! This is definitely the coolest light show in Beijing this year!"

At this moment, the thousand-meter-tall deep blue giant in the sky lowered his head.

His lips moved slightly.

Through the networked sound field of thousands of high-power speakers across the city, Gu Changan's voice descended like the will of heaven.

"Xiao Aotian."

"On the land of Huaxia, no individual power can override the law."

"Your current appearance doesn't even reach 4K high-definition resolution."

"Your Dharma Idol, in front of my graphics card, doesn't even count as trash."

There was no anger in Gu Changan's voice, only the indifference of stating a fact.

Xiao Aotian listened to the mocking sounds of the crowd below and looked at the law enforcement giant covering the sky in front of him.

His last bit of Dao Heart completely shattered.

"I am the Old Ancestor... I refuse to accept this... I refuse to accept this!"

He waved his arms frantically.

But the moment his mind was in chaos, the embers in his Sea of Consciousness began to flicker wildly due to unstable energy supply.

The originally golden appearance of the Dharma Idol began to show large areas of pixel blocks and purple mosaics.

It was just like an old TV with a burnt-out graphics card displaying screen glitches.

Xiao Aotian's body trembled violently in the Void Realm; that was the sign of Spiritual Qi backlash and the total destruction of his Dao Foundation.

Gu Changan sat in the command center and coldly spat out one word: "Disperse."

Chen Xiaobei pressed the Enter key.

"High-efficiency electromagnetic pulse wave, directional launch."

In the Void Realm, an invisible wave swept across.

Those Spiritual Qi that were barely maintaining the Dharma Idol, upon encountering scientific frequency interference, instantly turned into fine specks of light filling the sky.

It collapsed.

It completely collapsed.

Xiao Aotian's one-hundred-plus-meter-tall Golden Body Dharma Idol, like a giant punctured balloon, rapidly shriveled and disappeared in the wind.

His last barrier was gone.

The embers burned out, and his Divine Ability was completely gone.

Xiao Aotian's Physical Body, which had become like a skeleton due to excessive overdraft, fell from the six-hundred-meter altitude under the force of gravity, screaming as it plummeted toward the ground.
