The Star River Era! The Dimensional Freedom Demon

After informing the Exotic Gate, Mayor Astartes still felt uneasy for some reason, as if disaster was about to strike.

"What happened?"

Mayor Astarte was restless and couldn't help but curse Astartes in his heart.

"That muscle-controlled bastard, he could have easily won me over and tested me slowly, but he couldn't hold back and started a big attack after only a few days..."

You can't rush things. What if you push someone too far and cause a bigger problem?

Thump!

Suddenly, a muffled thud came from outside, as if a heavy object had fallen to the ground.

It looked like fireworks exploding.

Soon it turned into the roar of cannonballs and increasingly intense screams.

"What's going on?!"

Mayor Astarte's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly went to the window and opened it.

Then, he froze on the spot.

The fortress defenses of Astartes, the magnificent steel wall that could withstand thousands of giant beasts, were now completely shattered.

The giant cannon was twisted into a pretzel shape by hand, and the steel fortress was like scrapped soft iron, flattened with a pinch.

The troops on the fortress roared in terror, unleashing a barrage of weapons and artillery fire in an attempt to ward off the nightmare in their hearts.

Amidst the smoke and dust of gunfire, a young man dressed in a simple black combat uniform approached unhurriedly.

The torrent of bullets stopped silently in his face, turning into fine metal powder that fell down in a flurry.

The flames from the artillery bombardment couldn't get close to him; they exploded several meters away, and the raging wind couldn't even disturb his hair.

The mayor of Astartes' eyes narrowed, and he was so frightened by what he saw that he broke out in a cold sweat.

too strong.

It's even several levels stronger than the Beastmaster Lord.

Just then, the young man in the dust suddenly tilted his head and glanced in his direction.

Just a fleeting glance.

"puff--!"

Mayor Astartes shuddered violently, as if struck in the chest by an invisible hammer. He staggered backward, spitting a mouthful of scalding blood onto the window.

He collapsed, clutching his throbbing chest, his vision went black, and his ears rang.

For a fleeting moment, he almost thought he was dead.

Mayor Astartes gasped for breath, still shaken, and said:

"So powerful! This oppressive feeling... could it be that he has already reached the level of the Sect Master of the Ultimate Intent Sect?"

Only then did someone outside manage to notify him.

"Mayor, something terrible has happened! The commander has been killed by those homeless people!"

Why didn't you say so earlier?

The mayor of Astartes was speechless, but he knew it was because the powerful figure outside had acted too quickly.

They can wipe out a whole group with a single basic attack; their speed in transmitting messages can't even keep up with their kills.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Mayor Astartes immediately issued an order: "Aim at the King-class weapon immediately, everyone else come with me to appease them."

The mayor of Astartes is devastated. Even if he survives this ordeal, he will lose his position as mayor.

Moreover, he really had no confidence that he could handle it.

Ji Chen strolled leisurely through the streets of Astartes base city.

On both sides of the street, countless fearful gazes were fixed on him as if they were real.

Drones roared and circled overhead, fighter jets whistled past, and missiles rained down one after another with a whooshing sound, as if they wanted to completely level this area.

But Ji Chen's steps were not affected in the slightest, remaining steady and composed.

He simply raised his hand and waved it casually.

Rumble—!

Suddenly, flames erupted across the sky, and drones, whistling shells, and diving fighter jets exploded into dazzling fireworks in an instant, like a grand fireworks show.

Ji Chen was like a silent death god; wherever he went, there was only deathly silence.

"Everyone, cease attacking! Or face the full force of the military!"

Ji Chen turned around gently and looked at the mayor and others who were trembling with fear but still walked over with a straight face.

"Sir, we meant no harm. Our previous actions were entirely Alex's own doing, and have nothing to do with us, much less with the innocent people of this city!"

"I don't care if you're involved or not. Right now, hand over everyone who's touched my stuff, or else—"

"I will randomly kill half the population of this city!"

Ji Chen finally spoke.

But his first words upon entering Astartes base city were so cruel.

In an instant, the entire base city seemed to have fallen into an ice cave.

No one dared to doubt the truthfulness of Ji Chen's words.

In just what we've seen so far, Ji Chen has already caused more than 100,000 casualties in this city.

It's absolutely terrifying.

"I came to your settlement with good intentions, but not only are you ungrateful, you even exploit our rare resources! This is outrageous!"

The mayor of Astartes slowly exhaled a breath of stale air. Although he was in a difficult position, he had no choice but to compromise.

It's a stroke of good luck that the other party was able to negotiate.

Moreover, he had already investigated and found that most of the people involved had gone to heaven with Alex to meet God—no, to hell to meet Satan.

There are at most a few hundred people left, and compared to the wrath of a powerful figure, they are utterly insignificant.

Soon, after sporadic resistance, more than two hundred people, their faces bruised and swollen, with gunshot wounds, were dragged out like dead dogs, their faces filled with terror.

"Sir, it's them..."

Before the mayor could finish speaking, Ji Chen killed them all with a single finger.

"what!"

No one expected him to be so decisive and efficient. Even the mayor and others, who were used to killing, were taken aback.

"Not enough."

Ji Chen said coldly, "How can a mere few hundred people be enough for you to atone for your sins? Call out all those who are related to them, as well as those who, although they did not benefit from it, were involved in it."

Ji Chen issued an ultimatum: "Not a single one can be missing!"

"you!"

Officials in Astartes base city were furious. "Sir, don't push your luck!"

Some people couldn't sit still. The people here had all participated to some extent. They might not have directly benefited, but they had certainly received other advantages.

"We're not to be trifled with either. The Ultimate Sect stands behind us, and their Heavenly King-level weapons are already aimed at this place. I advise you to be careful!"

"Oh, so you dare to threaten me."

Mayor Astartes knew he was in trouble, but before he could say anything...

Ji Chen suddenly turned his head, and the official, who was heavily protected by the army, looked terrified and suddenly bled from all seven orifices and died.

"Calm down! Calm down!"

"Please don't act impulsively. We are humanity's last hope. A life-or-death struggle will only cause more pain and harm to the mutated beasts. For the sake of all humanity, how about we both take a step back?"

Then another official stepped forward to mediate.

"You're not part of my overall plan, get out of my way!"

Ji Chen gave a sharp shout, and the man immediately coughed up blood and flew out.

The mayor of Astartes' pupils contracted to the size of pinpoints. The temper of this top-tier expert was beyond his imagination; he was unreasonable, domineering, and unyielding to both soft and hard approaches.

Since that's the case, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, and his finger was already pressed on the activation switch of the Heavenly King-level weapon.

Even if it means mutual destruction and total annihilation, we must make the other party pay the price, at least to deter this lawless god of slaughter!

At this critical moment, a calm and authoritative voice suddenly came from the distant horizon, clearly resounding throughout the entire base city:

"stop!"

"Who is it that graces my territory with your presence? Please forgive me if there has been any inadequacy in our hospitality."

Before the words were even finished, an overwhelming and terrifying pressure swept over them, like an invisible mountain pressing down on everyone's hearts, making it difficult to even breathe.

Immediately afterwards, several more powerful auras, though much weaker, still emanated from all directions.

Layer upon layer, surging in like a raging storm.

The powerful figures from the Ultimate Intent Sect have arrived.

And right from the start, they intended to give Ji Chen a hard time.

Or, try testing its depth.
