Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 926 Heaven Collapse
The current distance between the two sides is 420 li.

For a fifth-ring psyker, this is a distance that is neither too close nor too far. It's not enough to suddenly kill someone with a single blow, but it's within reach.

So Feng Lian heard it.

They heard Song Shi's laughter.

It's not a joyful, jubilant laugh, but a laugh that comes from hearing a funny joke and being amused.

"—To wreak havoc on the Eastern Continent?" Song Shi raised his index finger, bent it, and then pointed it at the man in the distance: "You really can say those four words?"

"The human world is like a prison, and the world is like a burning house."

Upon hearing this, Feng Lian shook his head slightly and asked in return, "Why is that? It is precisely because all sorts of fools act recklessly, trample on the law, and disregard ethics and moral principles. If one precept is broken today, someone will follow suit and break ten precepts tomorrow; if one rule is trampled on today, someone will trample on hundreds of rules tomorrow."

“Swords drawn only take one or two lives. But your actions are eroding the foundation of this world, causing order to collapse and morality to perish. If this continues, fathers and sons will distrust each other, rulers and subjects will be wary of each other, and friends will deceive each other. There will be no peace in this world.”

"Do you think this doesn't count as chaos?"

“Peaceful?” Song Shi scoffed. “Citizens are divided into nine classes, so it is indeed peaceful. I really can’t understand how you dared to call yourselves a republic in the first place.”

“Back then, the various families joined forces to end the chaos and restore the country, but they could not elect an emperor among themselves, so they established a constitution that allowed each family to ‘share the world’, which is called a republic.”

Feng Lian displayed ample patience: "After this, the world will be at peace, and people will enjoy peaceful days. It is better to be a dog in times of peace than a human in times of chaos. A dog in times of peace can still lie peacefully by its thatched gate, while a human in times of chaos will have bones covering the wilderness, scorched earth spreading across the fields, children abandoned in ditches, and the elderly dying in cold courtyards. People exchanging children to eat is nothing more than commonplace, a tragedy beyond human comprehension."

"Song Shi, let me ask you, how can there be peace?"

Before the other party could answer, Feng Lian began to explain.

"Everything follows its own kind and fulfills its own function. It's just these eight characters. If everyone abides by their duty, we can reduce unrealistic desires and curb overstepping our bounds, thus avoiding chaos in the world and achieving harmony in diversity."

The man's pupils gleamed with a chilling light, and he spoke in a solemn and high-pitched voice.

"I wish to restore peace and order to this land and usher in a new era of peace and prosperity! I want to ensure that the fundamental principles and laws remain unchanged for all eternity! No one, in heaven or on earth, within or beyond the universe, can stop me!"

".Tsk."

Song Shi, however, had lost patience.

He twitched his eyelids: "If I may ask, what about those lower-class citizens who were played to death and buried in your backyard?"

"Trespass."

There's nothing more to say.

Song Shi twitched his heavy blade, seemingly slow yet swift, but this single movement sent a signal through the sea of ​​flames that filled the sky, causing it to erupt like a dormant volcano. Indeed, it was a violent, boiling explosion!
The previously scorching, barren land, with its unbearable heat, was not at its peak at all. It was a scene reminiscent of honey, with a scalding heat flowing beneath the solidified surface.

In an instant, the solidified surface was peeled away, and the heat flow was directed—

—Psionic Arts: [Calamity]!
Meteors are undoubtedly a symbol of destructive power, but also a magnificent spectacle. When a meteor streaks across the night sky, it leaves a dazzling trail. Under the watchful eyes of countless people, a new meteor, a new tail flame, is born, revealed in the sky.

The only problem is that it's many times larger than a mere meteor.

An unimaginably massive heat flow was guided and converged into a beam, not "passing by" but completely "piercing through"—a brilliant flame with a diameter of tens of kilometers instantly traversed the long distance and struck the Celestial Throne!
With the assistance of the True Spirit "Hongyuan Tianchi", the quality of this attack [Disastrous Calamity] is questionable compared to the past, but its quantity has increased dramatically! Burning mountains and boiling seas is nothing to him. Now, if Song Shi wanted to, erasing a super-large city from the earth's surface would be as easy as lifting a finger.

The object struck by the brilliant flames gleamed with a strange light in Feng Lian's eyes.

This is the first time that "Hongyuan Tianchi" has been exposed to the public eye!

His eyesight was incredibly sharp; in an instant, he discerned the general outline: the opponent's attack devoured everything in its path, feeding on all that followed. Such overwhelming power was among the best of the best, even within the renowned "Great Source" sect, known for its impressive array of formations.

Feng Lian reacted.

Without considering defense, he chose to attack against attack!
As the palm was raised, a strange phenomenon occurred, centered on the Celestial Throne. Two enormous orbs of light rose up, one gleaming with gold and the other clear and pure in silver. Their distinct auras strangely converged, forming the core of the "Sun" and the "Moon".

Immediately following, the three walls, arranged in a ring on the left and right, resembled a wall: the upper wall, the "Taiwei" wall; the middle wall, the "Ziwei" wall; and the lower wall, the "Tianshi" wall. Hundreds of stars twinkled, and the three walls appeared together!
East, south, west, and north—the four directions outline the silhouettes of illusory sacred beasts, which govern the twenty-eight constellations, filling them with flowing starlight, surrounding the celestial throne, and constructing a curtain that replaces heaven and earth.

The Azure Dragon is revered as auspicious, representing the beginning of all things and the flourishing of life; the White Tiger governs killing, decay, and conquest; the Vermilion Bird symbolizes the blazing sun, prosperity, and light; and the Black Tortoise, a combination of tortoise and snake, represents dormancy and gestation. These four sacred beasts exude completely different auras.

One person's power is limited and cannot encompass everything. Just as a warrior who comes from the battlefield is accustomed to clean and efficient fighting methods, he will not have the ethereal and otherworldly aura of a Daoist master. To simultaneously display so many different powers as at this moment should be impossible, but Feng Lian has accomplished it.

The starlight, with its distinct aura—the Sun, the Moon, the Three Enclosures, and the Twenty-Eight Mansions—is, in essence, all a wisp of thought of Feng Lian.

The high-level [Consensus] is inherently adept at ever-changing, and his first stage of true spirit greatly enhanced this aspect, making Feng Lian alone equivalent to a thousand troops—not referring to his imposing presence, but rather that each thought has its own unique characteristics, and each thought is like an independent individual.

Countless thoughts converged into starlight, which Feng Lian then commanded, bringing the most powerful array from mythology into reality.

The name of the great formation is:

—"The Celestial Spheres"!
But what truly launched the counterattack was not "the celestial constellations" themselves.

A large number of figures flew out from the Heavenly Throne. Upon closer inspection, one could see the Thunder God holding a huge Kui-niu leather drum, the Cloud-Commanding and Rain-Assisting Heavenly Lord whose battle robe was embroidered with flowing clouds and water waves, and the Thunder God and Lightning Goddess echoing each other, all swarming forward in a dense mass. The "Zhou Tian Xing Dou" (a constellation covering the heavens and earth) projected starlight onto each of them, causing their auras to surge, as if they had taken a super tonic, rapidly strengthening them.

In an instant, lightning snakes danced wildly, and ten thousand thunderbolts struck simultaneously, so dazzling that only a silvery-white sea of ​​lightning remained in the world, meeting the magnificent flames that came from afar!
