"boom!"

The rock walls on both sides of the crack are collapsing violently.

Large chunks of red-hot basalt crashed down, but before they could even get close to the Abyss Armored Earth Dragon's back, they were forcefully repelled by a layer of hazy gray domain, disintegrating into fragments.

The abyssal dragon plunged downwards with its eyes closed, howling in a hoarse voice.

"Wait! Master! This is the Earth Fire Fiery Vein!"

"With ten thousand times the force of gravity and the fiery poison from the earth's core, my armor plates are about to melt!"

Its massive, bulky body struggled to stay upright in the narrow crevice of the rock. Its once indestructible dark carapace was now glowing red from the geothermal heat, and the popping sounds of its bone fragments expanding as they heated up could even be heard.

Lin Feng stood steadily on its blood-soaked back, the Myriad Calamities Halberd pointing diagonally downwards, without even trembling.

"Say one more word and I'll throw you down as a cushion."

The earth dragon shrank its neck, the howl stuck in its throat, and its four thick claws frantically scrambled, tearing through the thick, dark red magma.

The descent speed not only didn't decrease, but actually increased.

The absolute restricted area is contained within a 30-meter radius around him.

The outside temperature had long exceeded the melting point of ordinary refined iron, and even the air had a pungent, burnt smell.

Even a high-level Overlord weapon would melt into a pile of scrap metal within a few breaths if left in such a terrifying environment.

But within the restricted area, all the violent temperatures and impacts are forcibly stripped away and crushed.

The system panel is scrolling in the upper right corner of your field of vision.

[Countdown to the self-destruction of the competition zone: 98 breaths.]

[Depth: 30,000 meters underground.]

[An extremely high-energy reaction has been detected ahead; the space structure is in a state of severe tearing.]

[WARNING: The surrounding gravitational field has increased to 18,000 times the standard gravitational force. Any physical body below the Dominator level entering this area will suffer pulverized necrosis within 0.01 seconds!]

......

Meanwhile, inside the main control hall of Tianjiao Star.

All the alarm lights were flashing frantically.

Dozens of senior staff officers and data analysts looked panicked, their hands flying across the screen, trying to salvage even a single data link in the war zone.

But all efforts seem pale and powerless in the face of that ever-expanding blind spot.

On the holographic sand table, large sections representing the Meteor Abyss competition zone are turning black.

That was a sign that the space had completely collapsed and the monitoring signal had been permanently interrupted.

Zhou Tong was forced into a chair by two fully armed Second Fleet confidants, with the back of his head pressed against the barrel of an energy-concentrating gun, and veins bulging on his forehead.

"Augustus, you really dare to go to such extremes!"

"Tens of thousands of top talents from hundreds of star sectors across the universe—they'll all be buried with you!"

Zhou Tong's spittle almost splattered all over the floor.

"Among them are the holy sons of the Tianxuan Holy Land, the direct descendants of the Giant Spirit Ancient Clan, and countless unique talents nurtured by ancient lineages with all their resources! With this press, you are declaring war on the entire starry sky! Can your Second Fleet bear this overwhelming wrath?"

Augustus stood in front of the main control panel, his hands supporting the control panel, looking down at the rapidly zeroing data stream.

His face showed no extra emotion, not even a twitch of his eyebrows.

"To be buried with them?"

Augustus immediately pulled out a pre-signed disclaimer.

"Article 7 of the Rules of the Prodigy Battle states that riots in the competition area caused by force majeure are considered normal losses."

"Tu Qianjue detonated the core of the ley line array in the competition area without authorization, causing the entire system to collapse. In order to protect the main network of Tianjiao Star, my Second Fleet was forced to activate the tail-cutting self-destruct protocol."

"The Control Yuan can't find fault with this explanation."

Augustus's voice was magnetic.

"Even in tomorrow's report, the Second Fleet will receive a public commendation from the Senate for its 'decisive handling of the situation, successfully preventing the void rift from spreading to the main city and saving billions of civilians.'"

"As for those so-called geniuses who died, in the long river of history, those geniuses who died young are no different from dust."

Zhou Tong gritted his teeth, wishing he could rush up and tear the other person apart.

"What about Raymond Lam?"

Augustus let out a cold laugh.

"Lin Feng? A second-order ant who just crawled out of the edge of a star system, does he really think he can turn the world upside down just because he got some recording fragments?"

"The self-destruct program is activated, and the Earth Core Furnace is overloaded and detonated. Even a seventh-level Overlord would be blown to smithereens if caught in the core."

"Those who die in the competition area are called martyrs."

"Things that cannot be verified by the dead are called garbage."

He raised his wrist and glanced at the time on his personal terminal.

"In ninety seconds, Meteor Abyss will be completely wiped out."

"Elder Zhou, prepare to write the eulogies for the casualties."

Zhou Tong closed his eyes and said no more.

......

Fifty thousand meters underground.

The surrounding rock walls had disappeared, replaced by a churning, roaring sea of ​​dark gold lava.

The gravity here has increased to 20,000 times.

The bones of the Abyssal Armored Earth Dragon creaked and groaned, and the muscles of its limbs were so compressed that blood oozed out.

"Master has really gone all the way!"

"There's no road ahead!"

The earth dragon let out a painful cry, and its massive body suddenly came to a stop.

A thousand meters directly below them, the magma was forcibly pushed aside by an invisible force, revealing an extremely magnificent bluish-black metal ring.

The ring is over ten miles in diameter and is deeply embedded in the Earth's core.

Countless thick energy chains, as thick as giant pythons, extended from the perimeter of the ring, locking a pulsating dark red energy sphere in the center.

The sphere expanded and contracted rapidly, just like a heart.

Each pulsation was accompanied by a violent tremor of the entire competition area's crust.

Origin Furnace!

At this moment, the array patterns on the surface of the ring were all dazzlingly bright, and the dark blue metal shell was covered with spiderweb-like cracks.

That's a sign of extreme energy overload, about to completely explode.

In front of the Origin Furnace, a colossal creature floated.

It was a giant fire lizard covered in crimson bone spurs, over a thousand meters long, radiating a terrifying pressure from a peak sixth-tier Dominator.

Its eyes were pierced by two metal nails, and a beating black chip was embedded in its abdomen.

The puppet beasts of the Second Fleet!

Upon hearing the whooshing sound, the fire lizard abruptly turned its massive head, and two scorching dark red pillars of fire shot out from its nostrils.

A violent intent echoed throughout the entire underground.

"Intruder...stop them...kill them!"

When the Abyss Armor Earth Dragon saw the Flame Lizard, it was so frightened that it shuddered on the spot.

"It's the guardian beast of the region! Augustus has completely transformed it into a suicide soldier!"

"Master, the fire poison on its body can burn through the Overlord's armor; we simply can't get past it..."

Before he could finish speaking...

A sharp, piercing sound tore through the air, shattering the earth dragon's screams.

Lin Feng made a move.

Without pausing for a moment, he pushed off with his feet, causing the earth dragon's massive head to sink hundreds of meters.

As the body fell, the absolute restricted area instantly shrank to five meters around its body, pushing away all external pressure.

The primal power of a second-tier Overlord was circulating wildly in his meridians.

"boom!"

Lin Feng's figure drew a distorted spatial line, and in the next instant, he appeared directly above the giant head of the Flame Lizard.

The saliva sensed the movement above it and swept its massive tail across, unleashing a raging torrent of lava.

The raging heat was enough to vaporize the refined gold instantly.

Lin Feng didn't even blink.

The Myriad Calamities Halberd drew a golden arc in mid-air, and 365 bone shuttles roared out from the halberd, instantly sealing off the spatial rifts around the Flame Lizard.

Space frozen!

The flaming lizard's massive tail, powerful enough to shatter mountains, was abruptly halted in mid-air.

"Get out of here."

Lin Feng uttered two words, and with his halberd, which had no fancy moves, he thrust it straight down.

The halberd tip precisely struck the control pin on the saliva's head.

The essence of killing and destruction is concentrated here!

"Snap!"

The incredibly hard, Dominator-level control nail instantly turned to dust, and the violent power flowed directly into the Flame Lizard's brain through the wound.

The saliva let out a piercing roar of pain, its massive body thrashing wildly.

Its internal energy was flowing backward, and it was about to self-destruct when Lin Feng's left hand pressed hard on the center of its head.

Reverse devouring!

"Buzz!"

A layer of pitch-black, devouring vortex unfolded from the palm of his hand.

The Devouring Law, which had just been fully refined, erupted in full force!

This guardian beast, at the peak of the sixth rank of the Overlord realm, seemed to have found a breach in its surging fiery blood energy, transforming into a torrent that rushed wildly down Lin Feng's arm.

The ferocity in the saliva's eyes was quickly replaced by fear.

Its flesh and blood shrank at a visible speed, and its massive, kilometer-long body rapidly dried out, dehydrated, and hardened.

Just three breaths.

A terrifying beast that dominated the sixth rank was completely drained of its essence and origin, turning into a grayish-white shell.

Lin Feng raised his arm and shook it, unleashing the Myriad Calamities Heavenly Halberd.

"Bang!"

The enormous dried corpse shattered into pieces in mid-air, scattering into countless fragments that fell into the sea of ​​lava below.

The Earth Dragon from behind almost popped its eyes out.

That's a peak sixth-tier furnace guardian beast!

It is a creature that usually runs rampant in the earth's core, and even the Abyss Armor Earth Dragon has to give way to it.

Three breaths, and it's all gone?

Even their bone marrow was drained!

The earth dragon felt a chill run through its body, and even though it was in magma at tens of thousands of degrees, it couldn't stop trembling.

Lin Feng landed on the dark blue metal ring, his inner energy churning.

Having devoured the entire essence of a peak sixth-tier star beast, the newly broken-through early stage of the second-tier Dominator realm instantly stabilized, and even faintly took a big step towards the middle stage of the second tier.

[Countdown to the self-destruction of the competition zone: forty breaths.]

The notification tone sounded again.

The cracks on the metal ring grew larger and larger, and a blinding dark red light spewed out from the cracks.

The heart of the massive primordial furnace in the center has reached a critical point in its beating frequency.

The entire ring shook violently, and the metal pillars supporting the formation began to break.

Destructive energy fluctuations are rapidly accumulating.

"Master! I can't take it anymore!"

The abyssal dragon scrambled over, crawling and rolling, and lay on the edge of the circle, its voice trembling with tears.

"The Origin Furnace is about to explode! We can't contain it!"

"Once it's blown up, this place will be an absolute dead zone!"

Lin Feng ignored its howling.

He looked down at the energy core beneath his feet, which had accumulated hundreds of years of experience in the entire competition area.

Augustus wanted to use this thing to blow him to ashes.

but.

Since the energy of the entire region is concentrated here...

Why let it explode?

Lin Feng lowered one knee and slammed his hands onto the scorching hot metal casing.

The Myriad Calamities Halberd floated in mid-air behind him, and the three hundred and sixty-five bone shuttles transformed into a sky full of golden light, fiercely piercing into the three hundred and sixty-five main array loops on the surface of the ring!

"Devour".

Lin Feng gave a low shout.

Deep within his palm, dark law runes suddenly lit up, spreading wildly along the patterns of the metal ring.

The entire Origin Furnace shook violently.

The dark red core, which had been rapidly expanding and was about to explode, suddenly stopped expanding at that moment.

The massive amount of pure earth vein essence and the energy reserves accumulated in the competition area seemed to have found the only outlet, flowing wildly into his limbs and bones through the 365 bone shuttles and Lin Feng's palms!

"Boom!"

The golden essence within Lin Feng's body was instantly ignited.

An unimaginably vast flow of energy washed over every meridian and every bone in his body.

The barrier of the mid-stage second-tier Dominator was shattered the moment it came into contact with this violent energy!

Late stage of Tier 2!

Peak of Tier 2!

The raging torrent of energy showed no signs of abating, continuing its savage charge towards the threshold of the third-tier Dominator!

The Abyss Armored Earth Dragon lay beside him, watching the golden pillar of energy rising above Lin Feng's head, completely numb.

madman.

This is a complete madman!

While others would rather avoid self-destruction than eat, he actually ate the detonated explosive barrels!

Inside the main control room.

Augustus was holding a high-energy drink, ready to watch the destructive waveform after the countdown ended.

Suddenly, the self-destruct energy reading on the big screen jumped violently.

Instead of soaring, it experienced an unbelievable vertical plunge!

The alarm on the control panel suddenly became shrill.

[Warning: The Earth's core furnace is experiencing a precipitous loss of energy!]

[Self-destruct program running out of power!]

[The collapse of the core area of ​​the competition zone has stopped...]

[Current reserves of the original furnace: 80%...65%...49%...]

The cup in Augustus's hand fell to the ground with a crash and shattered into pieces.

He lunged at the control panel, staring intently at the rapidly declining numbers on the screen, and roared in a hoarse voice:

"impossible!"

"Where did the energy from the Origin Furnace go?!"

The monitor screen suddenly flickered.

As the Earth's core energy plummeted, causing the gravitational field to flatten, the previously interrupted weak signal forcibly penetrated the Earth's strata and reconnected to the control center.

The image on the big screen flashed.

Deep within the churning, dark red earth, a massive, bluish-black ring is rapidly fading.

And in the very center of the circle.

Lin Feng sat cross-legged, his body swirling with countless dark golden lightning bolts. His aura had already crossed the boundary of the second level of the Sovereign, and was soaring wildly towards an even higher level.

Before him, the outer shell of the Origin Furnace shattered completely, revealing something deep inside.

That's not the core of the formation.

Instead, it was an ancient, mangled body pierced by seven dark red chains and soaked in golden liquid.

A rhomboid crystal, shimmering with a deep purple halo, floated on the chest of the mangled body.

Lin Feng opened his eyes at that moment.

Through the layers of earth and surveillance cameras millions of meters away, his gaze pierced through the void and struck Augustus, whose face was filled with horror, in front of the big screen.

Lin Feng slowly stood up and grasped the Myriad Calamities Halberd.

"Augustus".

"Thank you for your generous gift."
