Above Destiny

Chapter 703 It Has to Be Done Even If It Doesn't Work!
I can't.

Who says I can't do it!

A true craftsman will not allow others to say he is incompetent.

In particular, I absolutely forbid that bastard Ji Jue from saying no!
Feeling unwell, too tired, stayed up late last night, too hot, coughing or having a cold, roommate bothering me, keyboard getting wet or mouse running out of battery... none of these are problems!
It has to work, even if it doesn't work!

Even if you know that this dog is just trying to provoke you, you'll only get angrier if you hold back, and you'll only feel more cheated if you back down!

Besides, based on his understanding of Ji Jue: even if he really tolerated this bark, who knows how many more years this guy would keep barking at him about it...

Lou Feng was so angry that he swung his fist several times.

Seeing the Bloodstained Holy Mother descend from the sky, she was furious. She took ruthless action and activated all the secret rituals that she had been setting up since she arrived in the afternoon. The spirit crystals planted under the entire base suddenly grew explosively, showing their most ferocious form, breaking through the soil and piercing the sky.

With the added power of spiritual shaping and the alchemy of the Ember lineage, and guided by Matrix Good Worker, it reveals its ferocity.

Even if, in terms of the classification of the Chosen Ones, this thing is a pure transcendent level, it was caught off guard and, in a single encounter, pierced through the evil creature's head.

Blood fell like rain.

Amidst screams, the Bloodstained Mother's body trembled suddenly. Her gray-black tentacles gathered and dispersed, struggling frantically to pull out the crystal sword. However, she found that once the thing pierced her body, it seemed to have taken root, making it impossible to break free. The other end of the sword also seemed to have taken root, like a stake tethering a dog, thus binding it in place.

Even though the controllers behind it kept trying to pull it back, the intense pain only made the evil creature more ferocious.

Six arms reached into the dark clouds, gripping dazzling bolts of lightning that resembled swords, and began to smash them wildly onto the earth.

Literally, a lightning whirlwind strike!

Six dazzling bolts of lightning, resembling giant swords, lashed out wildly, slashing indiscriminately at the entire garrison base. In an instant, countless buildings collapsed, leaving behind a scene of devastation.

As if a natural disaster were raging, the scorching lightning could instantly vaporize even iron and stone.

If the alarm hadn't sounded earlier and Bogio and his men hadn't taken emergency evacuation after leaving the house, the entire fleet would probably have been completely wiped out.

Even so, it's not far from being leveled.

The wrecked ships anchored in the harbor rose and fell with the boiling seawater, colliding and groaning. Dazzling lightning flashed past the window, turning Minkler's face deathly pale.

Ji Jue remained lying in the chair, examining the matrix in his hand without looking up: "Don't worry, don't worry, it's a small problem."

It's not that the barking of dogs is trying to provoke the building's closure.

If he were Lou Feng, he'd probably be laughing out loud right now.

No, although I studied Ember, my Lou family is most famous for its entropy system, and we have countless secret extinction formulas... Are you trying to pull this on me?
It's not even worthy of being called "showing off one's skills before an expert."

That's way off!

Even before the lightning struck down, a faint mist had already risen from the entire base. Amidst the flashing light, scale-like outlines emerged from the void, enveloping the vital parts of the base and covering Lou Feng's entire body, making him impervious to any attack.

He remained unharmed as the brutal lightning struck his forehead time and time again.

Lightning bolts flew and splashed, but they couldn't break through that layer of protection at all.

Dragon scale armor!

The tricks that Lou Feng used to need to cheat to use have become second nature to him, without any effort, thanks to Ji Jue's relentless pursuit and pulling.

In an instant, the nine layers of spiritual essence, far surpassing Ji Jue's, underwent a qualitative change, endowing these shaped spiritual essences with different attributes. In the moment of their alternation and overlap, they underwent another qualitative change.

boom!
The lightning bolt that struck down in a fit of rage was actually cut in half and shattered!
It's not just broken...

The lightning bolts that shot through the sky meandered along the dragon scales, gathered at Lou Feng's fingertips, and shot out towards the pierced face!

A beam of azure light shot through the air, instantly piercing the night sky and landing on the Bloodstained Mother's body, piercing through the outer layer and causing a complete explosion from the inside out.

It blew off half of the face of the middle head!

A deafening scream echoed, and beneath the breach, no fragments of flesh or bone were visible, only tendrils convulsing and spreading wildly.

It felt like a severe blow.

With half its head gone, it finally broke free from the shackles of the Crystal Sword. But before it could react, Lou Feng waved his hand again, and the Crystal Sword that pierced through heaven and earth transformed once more. Countless spiritual substances spread from the giant pillar, and in an instant, it was as if a crystal tree, sparkling and translucent, enveloped the entire base's sky, shimmering with light and color, a breathtaking sight.

That wasn't a tree, it was a cage, a cage that sealed the entire base inside, remaining completely unmoved despite the Bloodstained Mother's frenzied collisions and destruction.

Other changes are still brewing...

"What the hell?"

At this moment, not only the manipulators behind the Bloodstained Mother, but all the onlookers, whether open or covert, couldn't help but peek out. The change had just happened too fast. In less than ten seconds, the Bloodstained Mother's ferocity had been abruptly extinguished. The evil artifact that the Sugano family had passed down for hundreds of years had actually been resisted.
Leaving aside the onlookers, even the seven cities and five companies holding the chips hesitated.

Completely confused. I can't quite grasp the changes happening right now.

If you're going to place a bet, you need to understand the situation first. Everyone here is well-off; who goes all in as soon as they sit down at the table or immediately bets when a group starts?
We need to stretch your Minkler's weight a bit.

The Chopra family's previous withdrawal had left many onlookers speechless, having already given up on following suit. But this latest turn of events has shocked everyone once again.

"Wait, this move... is it from the Lou family?"

"Is he from Haizhou?" the old woman asked suspiciously. "Has Minkler gotten on the good side of the Federation?"

"Who knows? Are we supposed to call and ask about this?" The middle-aged man scoffed. "This move is definitely the Lou family's spiritual essence shaping technique!"

"So what if it is?" The old-fashioned voice sighed, "No matter how domineering the Lou family is, can they really reach the Seven Cities with the Endless Sea by their side? Besides, the rule of the world is that without a token, three hundred miles from home, life and death are in the hands of fate!"

"Old man, will you die if you don't scam people?!" another person snapped irritably. "If you don't have a clue, shut up!"

Indeed, at this moment, Lou Feng only wore the craftsman's mark and had a lapis lazuli brooch on his chest. In other words, the person who came here was Lou Feng, the craftsman, not Lou Feng from the Lou family.

This is his own business; whether he lives or dies has nothing to do with the Lou family.

But the problem is...

Do you believe it?
According to the rules of the martial arts world, dying is pointless.

How often do those who live in the underworld break the rules?

You seven cities don't take this seriously, yet you expect others to follow the rules? Don't make the Federation laugh.

Do you really think that just because you're all from the same 'family,' the Seven Cities can stand on equal footing with the Lou family?

The old man of the Lou family, in particular, was notoriously protective of his own. Back when Lou Yanyue fought his way to Yunzhou and killed other people's sons, he still managed to protect him and stand up for him.

Believe it or not, if you really piss that old bastard off, even if Lou Feng trips and falls here, the Lou family could crush countless people's heads with their massive hands!

Sorry, but that's just how domineering big families are!
What kind of family would we be? Why are we still playing matchmaking in that crazy place in the Federation?!

"Stop arguing, let's take a look first."

Another steady voice sighed, "Let's see."

In the silence, everyone's heart sank. They say you can fish in troubled waters, but the waters aren't even muddy yet, so how come hands are already reaching in one by one... What will become of our Seven Cities?
boom! ! !
Enraged, the Bloodstained Mother repeatedly pounded and rammed against the crystal cage before her. In her fury, she opened her three large mouths and roared silently.

Pale waves burst forth from its mouth, a raging torrent of abyss powerful enough to destroy countless souls, then crashed into the giant tree and was bounced back.

And, double the amount!
A spiritual shock?

You mean spiritual essence?

Sorry, you used it in the wrong place again...

Lou Feng couldn't help but laugh.

Entropy systems and ascending transformations—these are the two things my family excels at. Why do you insist on walking into the line of fire?

The roaring went unanswered, and instead the bloodstained Mother of Goddess suffered a great loss. Her body swelled and throbbed, and countless tentacles extended from her face and body.

It opened its mouth again, clinging to the giant tree, ignoring the scorching heat above. Its body suddenly disintegrated, and thick, black blood, like a torrent, forcefully eroded the giant tree. Through the gaps between the branches, it defied the layers of secret rituals and the burning heat, and actually managed to squeeze in.

It crashed through the branches in front of it and fell from the sky!

Amidst the roar, blood cascaded like a tide, raging and flowing throughout the entire base. The thirst spread, wanting to devour souls to replenish itself, but it couldn't find a single living person!
No matter what, a military base is still a military facility. No matter how you deal with it, it still needs to have the necessary equipment. The underground command post, designed to prevent bombing, has long been completely isolated from the outside world by the three-phase alchemy seal.

Just like a safe, it's impossible to break it open in a hurry, not to mention that Ji Jue is there to protect it. Even if he doesn't take action, the blockade would be enough to keep it open until next year.

Seeing it but unable to eat it, the ravenous creature went completely mad with hunger.

Amidst the tide of blood, the outline of the Bloodstained Mother's body kept reappearing, her eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and hands extending haphazardly in the blood, wantonly destroying everything in sight.

But right before Lou Feng's eyes, in the boiling blood, the outline of the Bloodstained Mother reappeared, much smaller than before, seemingly just a statue a few meters tall, yet the threat it posed was far greater than before...

The three faces were full of compassion, and four of the six arms were outstretched behind them, carrying human heads, skins, hearts, livers, and bones, while the two arms in front of the chest held a swaddling cloth that looked like a bundle of tattered rags.

At that moment, the baby in the swaddling clothes stirred.

A hallucinatory cry suddenly rang out.

It's chillingly cold!
