219: Chapter 219 Can they escape?

"Hiss—"

Behind him, Su Xiaoxiao and Ye Fei, who had just been pulled back from the brink of fatal injury by Li Murou's Time Rewind, gasped in unison as they witnessed the heart-pounding scene before them.

"Is this... is this power a human can truly possess?" Su Xiaoxiao's hand trembled slightly as she gripped her staff. Was this Captain Chen's trump card? Was this the true terror of a Miracle Card Maker?! One man as an army, slaying a god!

"Nether Wind!!!"

Elder Blood Nightmare and Elder Yuhuo watched their companion get instantly killed, their minds going blank as fear coiled around their hearts like a venomous snake.

They finally realized that the cold killing machine before them was not something they could contend with. Its power and its rule immunity had completely transcended the common sense of this dimension!

"Run! Escape, quickly!"

Elder Blood Nightmare no longer possessed his previous arrogance. He suddenly bit his finger and drew a blood-colored teleportation array in mid-air, attempting to tear through space and flee this asura field.

"Can you escape?"

Chen Xi sat in the cockpit, his eyes bloodshot from the mental overload. Yet, he still pulled the control lever with a death grip as two spectral blue nuclear engine plumes erupted from the back of the xingtian mecha.

"Today, all three of you will be buried with Senior The Watcher!"

Boom!

The steel behemoth charged once more, its target aimed directly at Elder Blood Nightmare, who was opening the teleportation array.

The slaughter of desperation had only just begun.

"Stop him! Hellfire, buy me three seconds! This Blood Escape Array is almost ready!"

Elder Blood Nightmare's aged face was filled with panic. He frantically spat his essence blood onto the array in mid-air, trying to speed up the opening of the spatial rift. His deep-set eye sockets bulged outward from extreme terror; he no longer held even a fraction of the dignity of a Truth Cult Elder.

"Damn it! You bastard, don't you dare think of running!"

Although Elder Yuhuo was also terrified to the extreme, he knew that if Blood Nightmare fled, he would have absolutely zero chance of survival against this terrifying mecha. He suddenly bit down on a dark red pill hidden in his teeth—the Truth Cult's forbidden medicine, the Soul-Burning Pill.

"Boom—!!!"

As the forbidden medicine went down his throat, a layer of eerie, pale white flames instantly ignited on the surface of Elder Yuhuo's body. His vitality was being drained at a frantic rate, but in exchange, he gained a brief and terrifying burst of strength. His aura actually grazed the threshold of a Rank 9 Demigod in a single instant!

"Block him for me!! Purgatory: Nine Dragon Sky-Burning Formation!"

Elder Yuhuo pushed both hands forward violently. Nine massive fire dragons, condensed entirely from pale white flames, roared as they soared into the sky, coiling around each other to form a super fire wall capable of melting all things, blocking the path of the xingtian mecha's charge.

"The threshold of Rank 9? So what!"

Chen Xi sat in the cockpit, his eyes crimson. Although the intense consumption of mental energy made his brain feel like it was being pricked by needles, the fury in his chest made him completely oblivious to the fatigue.

"Anti-Rule Field, open to maximum!"

"Vroom!"

The transparent ripples on the surface of the xingtian mecha instantly thickened into a solid silver-white. The massive steel body did not slow down in the slightest, slamming head-on into the sky-burning formation of the nine pale white fire dragons.

"Crack, crack—Sizzle!"

The sound of intense energy friction echoed throughout the hall. Even the rule-immune field began to show signs of distortion and erosion when facing taboo flames that touched the threshold of a demigod. The temperature of the armor on the mecha's surface rose sharply, and alarms blared continuously inside the cockpit.

"Warning! External temperature exceeds armor limits! Cooling system overloaded!"

"Damn it! This old geezer is putting his life on the line; the mecha's kinetic energy is being bogged down!"

Chen Xi gritted his teeth and pushed the control lever with all his might, but under the relentless entanglement of the nine fire dragons, Xingtian's pace indeed slowed down.

And in those brief two or three seconds of delay...

"Hahaha! The array is complete! Chen Xi, you just wait! The Truth Cult will repay today's grudge a hundredfold in the future!"

Behind him, the blood-colored teleportation array in front of Elder Blood Nightmare finally took shape, and a pitch-black spatial rift slowly opened. He laughed wildly, half of his body already leaning into the rift.

"You want to leave?! In your dreams!"

Further back, Su Xiaoxiao and Li Murou wanted to stop him, but the distance was too great; their skills couldn't reach him instantly.

It looked as though Elder Blood Nightmare was about to make his escape.

At this critical juncture...

Ye Fei, who had been protected in the rear by Chen Xi and silently watching everything, suddenly moved.

Ever since stepping onto this 80th floor, Ye Fei had felt an inexplicable palpitations. After The Watcher had dug out his own core and Chen Xi had summoned the xingtian mecha, this feeling had grown even stronger.

Until this moment, the instant Elder Blood Nightmare tore through space, the Myriad Spirit Divine Seal on Ye Fei's forehead suddenly erupted with an unprecedented, blinding golden light!

"Buzz—!!!"

At that moment, Ye Fei seemed to hear an ancient, grand, yet infinitely sorrowful voice echoing in her mind.

"Permissions confirmed..."

"Detected bloodline fluctuations of the First Generation Supreme Administrator..."

"Detected resonance of the Source of All Spirits..."

"Tower of Heaven base-level defense protocols, supreme control—transferred!"

Ye Fei snapped her eyes open.

Her originally clear eyes had now turned into a pure gold, like a vast starry sky. Her vision was no longer limited to the battlefield before her; it was as if she could see through the layers of metal walls, establishing a wondrous and absolute connection with the entire sky-piercing Tower of Heaven.

This alien ruin that had slept for a hundred years, this divine artifact coveted by countless people...

In this moment, it bowed its noble head to its true successor!

"You... are going nowhere."

Ye Fei's voice became ethereal and majestic, as if devoid of any human emotion, speaking with the will of the tower itself.

She slowly raised her slender right hand and made a light grasping motion toward the blood-colored spatial rift that was about to close.

"Spatial Lock."

"Crack—!!!"

Her words became law!

The spatial rules of the entire 80th floor were instantly seized and reshaped by a higher-dimensional power under Ye Fei's grasp!

The spatial rift opened by Elder Blood Nightmare's essence blood was actually crushed and smoothed over by an invisible giant hand, like a fragile cracker!

"No!! This is impossible!! My teleportation array!!!"

As the spatial rift was forcibly closed, Elder Blood Nightmare, who had already stuck half his body inside, let out a heart-wrenching, shrill scream.
