241: Chapter 241 What kind of monster is this!

"Chen Xi?! It's that Chen Xi from the Nirvana Battle Team!!!"

"He's not dead?! That fortress... what on earth is that thing?!"

On the Pantheon square, cries of horror erupted like a tsunami. Gu Yuan and the other twelve elders of the Star Council stared fixedly at the terrifying fortress radiating nine-colored divine light above their heads, their faces so dark they looked like they could drip ink. They could clearly sense that the underlying logic of that fortress actually contained high-dimensional laws that even they could not fully analyze!

"This kid actually fused the Tower of Heaven and the star gate?! How does he dare! How could he possibly do it!!!" Gu Yuan's withered fingers dug deep into his Meteorite Throne. His state of mind, which had remained rippleless for over a hundred years, actually gave birth to a sliver of an emotion called 'fear' at this moment.

"What's the panic!" A hot-tempered red-haired elder beside him suddenly stood up, his Lv.98 demigod pressure erupting. He pointed at the sky and roared:

"No matter what flashy things he's come up with, he's ultimately just a freshman! In the face of our [Star God Defense Network], even a nuclear bomb couldn't blast it open! Order all Divine Punishment Puppets to concentrate fire and shoot down that flying piece of junk for me!!!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

At the red-haired elder's command, hundreds of twenty-meter-tall [Divine Punishment Puppets] on the square looked up in unison, the energy reactors in their chests lighting up with a blinding red light. Hundreds of thick high-dimensional destruction rays, like a meteor shower flowing backward, converged frantically toward the [Heaven-Reaching Divine Domain] fortress in the sky!

"Want to hit our fortress? Have you asked my shield first!!!"

Just as those destruction rays were about to touch the bottom of the fortress, a figure as burly as an iron tower leapt down from the bridge like a meteorite!

It was Lin Shan!

"[Absolute Martyr - God-Tier Barrier - Causality Reversal]!!!"

Lin Shan let out a roar of extreme rage in mid-air, thrusting both hands outward. The [Indestructible Blood Core], which had been enhanced to SSS-grade by Chen Xi during the hundred-day special training in the Divine Domain, erupted with a brilliant dark-gold divine light at this moment!

A giant dark-gold light shield, tens of thousands of square meters in size and completely enveloping the fortress's undercarriage, unfolded violently in the sky!

"Chiiii—!!!"

Hundreds of high-dimensional destruction rays slammed into the dark-gold light shield, producing a terrifyingly intense light that blinded the eyes. However, this high-dimensional concentrated fire, enough to instantly vaporize a mountain range, failed to penetrate this shield even by a fraction!

Not only that, the moment all the damage touched the shield, it was completely converted into violent energy through the forced reversal of causality and reflected back 100% along its original path!

"What?!" The red-haired elder turned pale with shock.

"Rumble—!!!"

The reflected destruction rays hit the Divine Punishment Puppets below with pinpoint accuracy. A series of earth-shattering explosions rang out across the square, and dozens of indestructible puppets were instantly blown into scrap metal by their own attacks!

"Holy crap! What a perverted defense! What domineering damage reflection!" Seeing this, the soldiers of the Southern District fighting bitterly below were instantly boosted in morale. Lei Zhentian even laughed excitedly: "Good lad! Well done!"

"It's our turn!"

Atop the fortress, Su Xiaoxiao and Li Murou exchanged a glance, and both girls leapt down simultaneously!

"[Time Reversal: Time Deprivation Domain]!"

While in mid-air, Li Murou played the SS-grade [harp of time reversal] to its limit. Ripples of golden time waves instantly covered the entire Pantheon square. The Star Guard and the remaining Divine Punishment Puppets, who were originally preparing to soar into the sky, suddenly became as sluggish as slow-motion replays within this time domain. Some puppets even had their movements forcibly rewound, causing them to crash into their own comrades!

"[Void Thunder Punishment: World-Ending Thunder Pool]!"

Su Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, transformed into a true Valkyrie. She no longer used single thunder spears but instead turned herself into the source of lightning. Heaven-filling purple-black void divine lightning fell like a torrential downpour, ignoring all the enemies' magic shields and accurately striking the heads of every Star Guard and puppet!

Under the dual strangulation of time deceleration and true lightning damage, the proud elite army of the Star Council fell in swathes like wheat being harvested, their screams echoing through the clouds!

"Counterattack! Counterattack! Ignore the ones below, just kill that Chen Xi directly!!!"

Gu Yuan finally realized the gravity of the situation and could no longer sit still. These four team members had already become perverted to this extent—what about their captain, Chen Xi?!

"I'll kill him! A mere brat—this old man can crush him with a single finger!"

The red-haired elder roared, his Lv.98 demigod power erupting without reservation. He transformed into a meteor burning with high-dimensional law black flames, instantly soaring into the sky, tearing through the void at a terrifying supersonic speed as he pounced toward Chen Xi on the bridge!

"Kid, die for me!!!" A giant black flame blade capable of cutting through space condensed in the red-haired elder's hand, carrying the momentum to sever everything as it slashed fiercely toward Chen Xi's head!

Facing the full-force strike of a Lv.98 demigod, Chen Xi showed no intention of dodging. He didn't even lift a hand, merely standing there quietly, his lips curling into an extremely mocking and arrogant sneer.

"Die?"

"Based on a piece of trash like you who only barely crawled to the demigod realm by sucking the blood of your compatriots and borrowing alien power?"

In the depths of Chen Xi's eyes, a red-gold light suddenly surged like two blazing suns!

He suddenly pulled a dark-gold mythic-grade card radiating a world-destroying aura from his breast and slammed it fiercely into the void before him!

"A hundred days of reshaping, a hundred days of fusion! Today, I'll use you, old bastard, to consecrate the flag!"

"[Miracle Creation]! [Rule Erasure]!"

"Come forth!!!"

"[miracle mecha: xingtian - Star-Slaying Mode]!!!"

Boom—!!!!!

At this moment, the sky over the entire Imperial Capital completely lost its color.

There was no previous pillar of light, no cumbersome summoning process.

Within the microsecond that Chen Xi slammed down the card, that patch of void collapsed directly!

A supreme mecha, three times larger than the one in the underground factory and flowing with a celestial, brilliant deep glow, stepped out of the void without warning, standing firmly in front of Chen Xi!

This [Xingtian - Star-Slaying Mode] was no longer a traditional metal creation. Its armor was constructed from the "High-Dimensional Star Gate Laws" and "Tower of Heaven Source" forcibly fused by Chen Xi. The data streams flowing on the mecha's surface were enough to make any low-dimensional creature's sanity collapse instantly!

And at its chest, the original miniature reactor had now been replaced by a miniaturized [Black Hole] radiating a terrifying gravitational pull!

"This... what kind of monster is this!!!"
