Above Destiny

Chapter 748 The Earth Shakes
Like the brief silence between thunderclaps.

An unprecedented surge is rushing in along the earth's veins!

But just how extreme will it reach?

Even from such a great distance, there are still such strong premonitions. Level six? Level seven? Level eight? Or... something higher?
In that fleeting moment, Ji Jue clenched his fist without hesitation.

A roaring sound erupted from the temporary workshop enclosed by the building.

Just as the Prosperity, undergoing precision engineering under the spotlight of the Star of Bethlehem, suddenly shuddered, breaking free of all its restraints, and then burst into a brilliant light.

The repulsive force spread like a tide, overturning everything.

"You, surnamed Ji—"

Caught off guard, Lou Feng was slammed against the wall. He instinctively opened his mouth to curse, and then saw a massive amount of mercury gushing out from the ceiling, raging and engulfing the entire workshop. It rapidly expanded, solidified, and filled every gap in the underground space.

"paradise!"

Ji Jue turned his hand back and pointed to the giant spiritual core above his head—[Deus Ex]!
Instantly, the Paradise System went into full operation and was fully activated. All the spirits in the system suddenly became overloaded and activated. Then, the dense fog burst forth like a raging torrent, breaking through the sewer manhole covers and spreading and flowing like a tide across the empty streets.

Thanks to the depression and the stench, all public places were deserted, so no riots broke out and there wasn't even time to react.

On the main road of Roh Island, the passing vehicles were only stunned for a moment before they saw the vast wall of fog advancing from the center of the city and engulfing everything.

I can't see my fingers.

It was as if a pair of eyes looked down from the sky, and then, with a casual flick of the finger, all the vehicles braked suddenly and the doors locked.

Amidst the piercing sirens of air raid sirens, martial law and earthquake warnings reached the screens of every mobile phone, sharp notification sounds rose and fell, and flashing red lights illuminated bewildered faces.

"Isis."

"I'm here."

Through the transit of the Doomsday Express, the Workshop Spirit, far away in Punabantu, fully integrated into the Paradise System and took over everything.

A cracking sound rang out.

From all over the island, from the city center to the slums, towering water tanks were torn apart by the force erupting from within, and mercury, shimmering with dazzling light, gushed out.

Like dazzling silver flowers suddenly blooming on a pale, misty carpet, the Crown of Isis blossomed from above the curtain.

More mercury, in countless threads, has seeped into every residential building and large residential area through the water and electricity pipes, penetrating every nook and cranny.

Within seconds, the filtering and classification were completed. After accessing the park's resident records, all buildings with more than five floors were highlighted, along with dilapidated buildings designated for renovation.

Most importantly, there are fuel storage depots and dozens of gas stations throughout the city.

Meanwhile, the water and gas outages have been completed.

Meanwhile, countless silver lights on the ground began to spread downwards, flowing and spreading along the veins of the sewers, weaving together to form dozens of complex networks beneath the land of Luo Island, overlapping and interlocking with each other.

The myriad clues overlapped and became tributaries. These tributaries converged to form three main trunks that ran straight down from the center of Luo Island. Finally, the three main trunks tore through the earth and fell into the underground workshop.

Finally, right in front of Lou Feng, three giant pillars descended from the sky, piercing through the workshop and then sinking further downwards, accompanied by continuous roars, deeply wedging into the deepest part of the earth's crust.

The spiritual energy circuit of the vaporization alchemy technique kept reappearing, with the three phases flowing back and forth, and the old tricks were used again, connecting to the earth's veins.

Between the three giant pillars arranged in a triangular shape, intertwined mercury ropes have suspended the giant ship—the massive cargo ship now looks like an ornament suspended between the three pillars, its appearance both strange and familiar.

It's like a gigantic...

A pendulum?

"and many more?"

Lou Feng slumped to his feet, staring at everything before him. He even forgot to curse. His craftsman's instincts took over, and he began to analyze the situation with complete focus.

But this design and structure... a flash of inspiration struck him, and he suddenly understood:

"Damn it?!"

This is the only sentence that isn't a swear word.

Right before his eyes was a colossal tuned mass damper that encompassed the entire island of Ro!
Why did Ji Jue suddenly go crazy and do this?
Although Ji Jue's episodes of madness have become commonplace, even in the most routine cases, all the evidence proves that Ji Jue would never have a meaningless episode of madness.

In other words, he felt this thing was useful, and the need was so urgent that there wasn't even time to give a heads-up; in other words...

He closed his eyes and sighed, then casually found a place to sit down and, incidentally, unlocked the flow restriction of the spirit energy reserve.

In the end, he only had time to rub his hands together.

After the spirit shaped two earplugs, it inserted them into the ears.

In that instant, an unprecedentedly terrifying roar erupted from the Prosperity!

Before that, everyone felt an absolute, earth-shaking tremor!

The world suddenly fell silent.

Only a continuous roar echoed from afar, like the invisible footsteps of giants stomping down, causing the seabed to crack and releasing dazzling light from the deep sea.

The so-called "mountain scenery"!
The vast ocean sings, the towering mountains shine. The most prestigious lineage of the Desolate Ruins takes this name from the ancient texts to highlight the boundless nature of the Desolate Ruins, the grandeur of its resources, and even this terrifying, world-shaking power that overturns everything!
A burst of intense light erupted from the sea, causing it to surge and boil. The turbid waters rose instantly, crashing onto the shore and spreading wildly. The earth trembled violently, and everything swayed as if a carpet were shaking.

The world is spinning!

A crack silently appeared on the wall beside Ji Jue, winding upwards... On the screen flashing in front of Ji Jue, the earthquake magnitude assessment skyrocketed like a rocket.

In an instant, it has already surpassed level one and two, stepped onto level three and four, entered level five and six, and even reached level seven, and is now rushing upwards towards level eight.

Then, it came to an abrupt end.

It felt like being gripped tightly by an unseen hand.

Amidst the earth shaking and the sky spinning, an unseen hand slowly extends, grasping all things, like a tug-of-war, locked in a stalemate with the vast, raging tide from afar.

The sound of shattering was incessant.

Everyone heard a series of cracking sounds coming from the mercury threads that had penetrated deep into the floors and were tangled in the building's frame.

Just like surfing on the ocean tide, it trembles and spasms incessantly.

Beneath Roc Island, within the workshop where the three main trunks intersect, a relentless torrent of wind and deafening roars surged. Right between the three trunks, the Prosperity Ship, suspended in the center, suddenly emitted a deafening crash, as if shattering.

Intense tremors, swaying, and swirling.

Its massive body stirred up waves in the enclosed underground space, swirling up countless bits of debris, soaring into the sky, and then plummeting back down.

Just like a damper in a skyscraper, it swings rapidly when a storm comes, dissipating the terrifying kinetic energy inside and transforming it.

In an instant, the hull turned red-hot.

The entire workshop had become like hell, with raging torrents of scorching water crashing against the spiritual defenses in front of the building. Sharp fragments whistled past, brushing against his temples, but he remained focused, his eyes fixed on the now blazing red Prosperity, and couldn't help but sigh with admiration.

"It's really yours."

Immovable as a mountain!
To be precise, it's the reverse application of "unmoved as a mountain"!

The Immovable Blessing Chain distributes the impact it suffers to the surrounding matter. But now, the Giant Sword reverses its course and gathers all the terrifying impact that the entire Luo Island has suffered, as well as the violent power transmitted from the earth veins, onto itself.

With its terrifying mass and tenacious physical properties, it can replace Ro Island and eliminate the impact of this force to the greatest extent possible.

At this moment, through the connection of the Crown of Isis, the entire Ro Island is connected to the Prosperity, and the impact that shakes the ocean and shakes the mountains is continuously converging through countless mercury chains.

The giant hammer, like a pendulum, distributed the intensity of the earthquake, causing the originally soaring magnitude to begin to subtly decline. No matter how violent the impact and tremors were, it remained firmly stuck on the edge of magnitude four.

Explosions continued to occur inside the underground workshop.

The mercury cables suspending the Prosperity could not withstand the weight and burst one after another. The spilled mercury vapor dissolved in the gale, but then new mercury cables would extend and entangle it again.

Even the main trunk, which had been strengthened by the earth's negative influence, quickly developed cracks. However, due to the three-phase circulation, the speed of repair was faster than the speed of collapse.

What's the cost?
The price was that Lou Feng's spiritual reserves began to evaporate rapidly.

But at this moment, he couldn't care less about feeling sorry for himself. He raised his voice and shouted at Ji Jue, "Don't waste it, you bastard! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity—"

For a moment, Ji Jue was taken aback, then his eyes lit up.

Their gazes fell simultaneously on the Prosperity, which was now burning red, and then their faces lit up with smiles.

Yes.

What a great opportunity!

Heaven and earth are the furnace, and creation is the work.

With a continuous supply of energy from the earth's veins, Luo Island as an anvil, and earthquakes as a hammer, isn't this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?!

Although we still have to keep the work going at this critical juncture, and the craftsmen are all suffering from serious illnesses, the bigger the storm, the more valuable the fish. We've already invested so much, how can we afford to waste it?!
Just do it!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
As for trivial issues such as uncontrollable earthquakes or the formation being too violent and prone to going out of control, there is no need to worry about them at all.

Don't be afraid to play, or don't play if you're afraid!
The biggest advantage of the Giant Sword is its incredible toughness. No matter how out of control you get, you can still break the Giant Sword.

At this point, every extra strike is a profit!
"Old Lou, give me support!"

With the aid of the curtain, hundreds of mercury hands emerged from the workshop, and then the spiritual essence of the Transcendent Realm Bethlehem Realm was already in place and formed in the hellish heat!

boom! ! !
The invisible hammer, following the immovable veins, roared in, like a ten-thousand-ton ramming force, mercilessly striking the Prosperity.

A crack appeared on the hull of the ship.

Immediately afterwards, the remnant spirit of the Azure Dragon imprisoned in the hull erupted with a venomous scream, violently shaking the ship. Before it could even retaliate, Lou Feng, shrouded in a heavy protective suit, pounced on it, extracting its remnant spirit. The scene underwent a qualitative change, with spiritual circuits being carved out from the iron and stone, engraved within the framework of the Giant Sword, extending and expanding.

Then, boom!!!

Another crack appeared on the hull, connecting with the previous crack.

Lou Feng laughed heartily and went about his business with complete focus, immersing himself in his work amidst the violent, pendulum-like swings.

The azure dragon's hiss, shouts, roars, and even incoherent wails rang out continuously, but under the relentless onslaught of Mount Tai, it couldn't even find a chance to resist. It could only be rapidly torn apart and devoured by the dragon blood that had been eyeing it for so long.
