Invincibility starts when I see the BOSS health bar.

Chapter 1043 Building
Just as the bone armor completely covered his body, isolating him from the outside environment to some extent.

The bright red countdown above his head suddenly flickered and distorted, as if it were subjected to strong signal interference and resistance from the rule level. Like a light bulb about to run out of power, the numbers became blurry and the fluctuations became extremely irregular, as if it would go out completely or lose its accuracy at any moment!
"Not thorough enough! We need stronger interference!"

Fang Yu let out a low shout, triggering another completely different power within his body—the power of the bloodline spirit!
"Bang——!!!"

Blood-red, scorching energy, seemingly condensed from countless life essences, burst forth violently from every pore of his body!

This energy did not dissipate, but quickly condensed again outside the white bone armor on his body, forming a layer of light red energy shield that was solid and did not dissipate, flowing slowly as if it were a substance!

Spirit Shield, activate!
The moment the spirit shield was activated, the countdown, which had been struggling and flickering and trying to continue, suddenly stopped beating, as if it had been gripped by an invisible hand!
All the numbers were completely frozen at [10:57:03], and could not be reduced even a fraction of a second!
The crimson light seemed to have dimmed considerably, no longer so dazzling.

This is a direct confrontation between spirits!
It is the collision and cancellation of different rules and different sources of power at the real level!
Fang Yu's spiritual power may not be particularly abundant in terms of quantity, but the bone armor he obtained from the game world has extremely special material and defensive properties, which have a strong effect of isolating and weakening negative rule forces such as spiritual power and mental erosion.

In addition, the spiritual shield formed by the essence of bloodline spirit power, this protection derived from life itself, forms a certain attribute restraint on the rules of [Dead Spirit] that are full of annihilation.

With the double protection in place, it actually forcibly interfered with and even temporarily "frozen" the almost unsolvable death countdown rule of [Dead Spirit]!
"I'm not entirely sure to what extent I can intervene or how long I can maintain it."

Fang Yu felt the depletion of the two powers within his body, and the faint struggle emanating from the forcibly frozen countdown. He calmly judged, "I must take this opportunity to finish off that cowardly fellow in one fell swoop!"

Once you know the exact location of the enemy, the rest is the simplest and most direct thing to do: crush them!

"Mr. Fang!!"

Just then, Qi Ge, Minister Chen, and their convoy finally arrived with a screeching sound of brakes, breaking through the damaged barbed wire fence surrounding the base and kicking up clouds of dust.

They pushed open the car door, and before they could even utter a sound, they were so shocked by the terrifying ruins before them, which looked as if they had been hit by a giant meteorite and then subjected to carpet bombing, that they were speechless!

If Fang Yu's leap up the mountain, which defied the laws of physics, only gave them a preliminary understanding of the existence of the "extraordinary," then...

At this moment, witnessing the devastating scene created by a single person in a very short time—a scene comparable to the result of hours of intense combat by an elite armored company—they truly and profoundly realized the absolute terror contained within this extraordinary power, a power capable of destroying the world and rendering modern weaponry utterly insignificant!
A heavily armed and heavily guarded military base was as vulnerable as a child's sandcastle in front of Fang Yu!
Minister Chen's face was as pale as paper. All his previous ideas about power, checks and balances, and exploitation seemed so ridiculous and insignificant in the face of this ruin.

Mr. Wang's legs went weak, and he clung tightly to the car door to keep from collapsing to the ground. His eyes, as he looked at Fang Yu, were filled with endless fear and... a burning greed like flames.

Fang Yu merely glanced back at them, his gaze calm and unwavering, as if he had simply cleared away some trash blocking his path.

His tone was flat and even: "I've found the source. Now, let's solve the problem."

Qi Ge opened his mouth, looking at the ruins before him and the soldiers who were either dead, wounded, or dazed and confused. His throat felt like it was blocked by something. In the end, all the words he wanted to say were reduced to a single, heavy, and firm word: "Yes!"

Minister Chen, President Wang, and others were still immersed in the unparalleled visual and emotional impact, their minds blank, unable to recover for a long time.

……

Meanwhile, in the urban area, the central hospital and its surrounding areas.

This place has long since been transformed into a true hell on earth.

From a bird's-eye view, the streets surrounding the hospital were completely submerged by crowds.

Countless people with scarlet countdowns flashing above their heads struggled, roared, cried, and prayed like desperate beasts trapped in an invisible cage. The various sounds blended into a huge and chaotic wave of sound that soared into the sky.

Some people have gone insane because the countdown to their loved ones has reached zero in front of them.

Some people attack others because they have little time left, trying to drag others down with them.

Many more sat blankly by the roadside or huddled in corners, waiting for the final moment to arrive.

The few medical and security personnel who tried to maintain order were like a small boat in a storm, easily capsized in the face of the huge and desperate crowd.

The air was filled with the stench of sweat, blood, disinfectant, and a strange smell that seemed to suggest that life was collectively rotting.

Despair, chaos, madness, deathly silence...

All sorts of negative emotions converge and fester here.

Above this scene of despair, a figure covered in stark white bone armor and surrounded by a pale blood-red spirit shield, like a death angel from another world, flashed across the sky above the city with a piercing sonic boom and an indomitable, resolute aura, heading straight for the location of the [spirit] it sensed!
……

Fang Yu's figure, like a demon god from another dimension, silently floated atop the lightning rod base of the tallest commercial building in the city center.

The ground beneath my feet was cold, metallic, reflecting a ghostly light in the dim moonlight. The stark white bone armor covering my body refracted the chaotic neon lights of the distant city into a cold halo.

The night wind howled, brushing against the fine edges of his bone armor, yet it couldn't make him sway in the slightest.

Fortunately, the city beneath his feet had already been completely engulfed by the panic of the "death countdown," with order collapsed and everyone living in fear. Otherwise, his suspended posture, which defies all the laws of physics, would have long become an unsolved mystery that has exploded on the global internet.

A thick, viscous aura, seemingly originating from the depths of the netherworld, a chilling and deathly presence, emerged from the heart of this steel forest beneath our feet, like living black tentacles.

More accurately, it spreads and infiltrates upwards from beneath the foundations of the buildings, from the very core of the city's dirty network.

This is it. That primal sense, like the beating of a heart, carrying a power of rules, clearly points downwards.

The [Dead Spirit] has placed its lair underground in the very heart of this bustling city.

Above his field of vision, there was a scarlet countdown that was temporarily "frozen" by the combined power of the bone armor and the spirit shield.

[10:57:03].

At that moment, the last digit of the countdown, with great difficulty but undeniably, trembled, jumping from "3" to "2". The closer it got to the main body, the stronger the influence of this [spirit]'s rules became, beginning to act like an all-pervasive virus, stubbornly trying to penetrate the defensive barrier constructed by the spirit shield and bone armor, and re-establish absolute control over its "prey".

However, all these subtle changes did not stir up the slightest ripple in Fang Yu's heart.

His goal was as clear as a knife, and his will as firm as iron. He slowly closed his eyes, letting his extraordinary spiritual perception seep into the entire skyscraper beneath his feet like mercury spilling onto the ground.

What I perceived was a chilling emptiness and deathly silence.

There was no heartbeat, no breathing, and no fluctuations in any life activity.

The entire building, from the top floor to the bottom floor he could perceive, was like a giant human-shaped coffin whose soul had been drained, cold, empty, and exuding an aura of death mixed with decaying dust.

This place was clearly the first place where the [Dead Spirits] carried out their "cleaning" and established a "sacred domain" under their absolute control; it was already a place devoid of living beings.

This discovery dispelled Fang Yu's last remaining concerns.

"Whoosh-!"

Without any warning or running start, Fang Yu's suspended figure suddenly blurred, transforming into a white lightning bolt that tore through the night sky. Carrying an indomitable and resolute momentum, like a meteor falling from the heavens, he charged headlong into the massive tempered glass curtain wall on the top floor of the building below, which reflected the chaotic city.

"boom!!!!!!"

A tremendous explosion, like an iceberg bursting open, rang out!

The reinforced glass, strong enough to withstand a typhoon, was as fragile as a soap bubble blown by a child in front of Fang Yu's body encased in bone armor, instantly shattering into countless crystalline and sharp fragments!

These fragments, like shrapnel from an explosion, were swept up in the violent airflow brought about by Fang Yu's impact, and poured wildly into the dark and silent space inside the building, splashing and refracting the last chaotic spots of light.

Fang Yu's figure, enveloped in this deadly "rain of glass," landed steadily on the high-end carpet covered with thick dust and scattered with documents and miscellaneous items.

The moment my feet touched the ground, the countdown above my head seemed to be injected with some kind of stimulant, and the rate of decrease suddenly increased!

[10:56:47]…

[10:56:45]…

It's almost two jumps per second!

"Are you afraid? Feeling threatened, so you can't wait to see me die?"

A cold whisper came from beneath Fang Yu's bone mask, carrying undisguised mockery: "Hidden and cowardly, only daring to hide in the shadows and reap the scum of life!"

He no longer wastes time looking for possible stairwells or elevator shafts.

For him, the most direct and efficient path is always the one he forges with his own strength!

Fang Yu slightly raised his right foot, and the sole of his foot, completely covered by the white bone armor, seemed to gather a tremendous force, even the air around him seemed to freeze.

Then, he stomped his foot hard on the expensive floor slab covered with high-end building materials!
"boom!!!!!!"

A deep, muffled roar, like that of an ancient beast roaring underground, erupted from the point of impact!
The sturdy reinforced concrete floor slab, faced with this absolute force, was like being hit by a heavy cannon, instantly cracking, disintegrating, and collapsing inch by inch!
Countless twisted steel bars creaked and grotesquely pierced through the broken concrete!

Large amounts of building debris, dust, and junk poured down to the next floor like a waterfall!

The entire skyscraper, hundreds of meters tall, seemed to tremble and groan in pain under this blow, its structural stress emitting a mournful cry of unbearable strain!
And this was just the opening act of his violent demolition!
"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!!"

Fang Yu transformed into a tireless, terrifyingly efficient humanoid pile driver and hydraulic breaker!
He completely disregarded any structural mechanics and relentlessly and efficiently broke through along a straight, vertical path!

Fists, elbows, knees, and even direct impacts with shoulders covered in bone armor!

Each strike contains terrifying power capable of shattering mountains and splitting rocks!
Layer upon layer of expensive office space, luxurious decorations, sophisticated equipment, and sturdy load-bearing structures... all melted and crumbled in his presence like ice and snow under the sun!

The explosions continued incessantly, like a string of giant firecrackers being set off inside this deathly silent building!

Smoke and dust billowed and filled the air, obscuring everything. All that could be heard was the continuous, heart-stopping sound of destruction and the twisting of the building structure as it teetered on the brink of collapse!
Outside the building, the glass curtain wall cracked and fell off due to the drastic changes in the internal structure, like a rain of glass falling and hitting the street below with a crackling sound.

His target was never the magnificent shell above the ground, but the darkest and dirtiest underground network buried beneath it, especially the water supply and drainage system that spread throughout the city like blood vessels, responsible for delivering the source of life and carrying filth!
Just as he sensed and deduced, this core area had long been completely "purified" by the power of the [Dead Spirits], and apart from him, the uninvited guest, there was not a single living creature left.

This also allows him to unleash his devastating power without any psychological burden, and without worrying about accidentally injuring anyone.

"BOOM!!!!!!"

With a final, deafening roar that seemed to tear the earth apart, Fang Yu completely pierced through the foundation of the building's lowest level and the thick basement structure!

Above, the massive building, having lost sufficient support, let out a final, mournful howl, like a dying beast, as it began to irreversibly, layer upon layer, squeeze inward, collapse, and overturn!

A massive cloud of smoke and dust, mixed with debris from building materials, rose from the base of the building like a mushroom cloud after a nuclear explosion, engulfing several surrounding blocks!

Fang Yu, amidst this cataclysmic destruction, was like a javelin thrown into hell, piercing through countless fallen building debris and the sky-covering dust, crashing into the dark, damp city sewer system directly beneath the building, which reeked of a strong stench and pungent chemical odors!

"Pfft!"

Their feet sank heavily into the knee-deep, viscous, cold, and eerily oily sewage, splashing up murky waves.
