If I let you practice martial arts, you'll compress your vital energy ten thousand times?

The night wind howled, carrying a strong smell of rust and the chill of the wilderness.

Abandoned heavy industrial city No. 019 in the old era.

This steel behemoth, once a witness to the pinnacle of human industrial development, is now nothing more than a massive and broken skeleton. Countless enormous gears and rusted steel frames intertwine, resembling a steel jungle.

Deep inside the abandoned steel furnace, a dim flame flickered wildly.

Lin Xiaoya was roughly chained to a thick load-bearing steel column.

Her clear, large eyes were filled with tears, and her thin body trembled in the night wind.

"elder brother……"

Xiaoya cried out helplessly in her heart.

And directly in front of her was a throne made of countless scrap steel.

The vice leader of the Dark Spirit Society, a Ghost King at the early stage of the Town General level, was looking down at her with a cold gaze as if she were an ant.

"Let's do it."

The Ghost King's ear-piercing sound, like scrap metal scraping against metal, echoed in the empty steel furnace.

"Yes, Vice Leader!"

The Blood Bone Elder, standing to the side, let out a sinister laugh.

The Xuanhai Realm expert who had just slaughtered an entire elite military squad in the alleyway of the civilian district was now drawing out a black dagger that gleamed with a ghostly green poisonous light with great interest.

He walked step by step with his thin, bony legs to Lin Xiaoya.

"Little girl, if you have to blame someone, blame your bad luck."

Elder Bloodbone's eyes were cruel as he slowly raised the poisoned dagger in his hand.

The true energy of the Profound Sea Realm flowed along the blade, emanating a chilling aura. Let alone severing a pair of flesh-and-blood arms, even a ten-centimeter-thick solid steel pillar would be easily sliced ​​through like tofu under this blade!

Lin Xiaoya closed her eyes in terror, tears streaming down her pale cheeks.

"Don't be afraid, I'll be gentle!"

Elder Bloodbone sneered, and the short knife in his hand, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound as it tore through the air, slashed down fiercely at Lin Xiaoya's slender wrist!

however.

In this extremely critical situation, where life and death hang by a thread, in an absolute death trap!

Boom! ...

A terrifying roar, powerful enough to tear the heavens apart, erupted without warning from the highest heavens!

That sound wasn't thunder at all.

Rather, it is the extreme sonic boom produced when an object of abnormally large mass forcibly shatters the atmosphere at an ultra-high speed that defies common sense!

"What was that sound?!"

Around the steel furnace, dozens of elite Dark Spirit Cult members on guard simultaneously raised their heads, staring in horror at the dark night sky.

Even the Ghost King, who sat high on the steel throne, frowned suddenly, a hint of surprise and uncertainty flashing in his scarlet eyes.

next second.

Everyone witnessed a horrific scene that they would never forget in their lives, and that they would absolutely never see again!

Above the pitch-black sky.

A blindingly dark golden meteor, trailing a white sonic boom cloud hundreds of meters long, crashed straight down on the abandoned steel furnace like a world-destroying spear thrown by a god!

too fast!

Elder Blood Bone, who was close to the Profound Sea Realm, had only lowered his blade by less than three inches when the dark golden meteor traversed ten thousand feet of void and violently smashed through the steel dome of the steel furnace, which was several meters thick!

boom--! ! !

The steel dome, like a fragile paper toy, exploded into countless fragments in an instant!

An indescribable, terrifying physical pressure, preceding the meteor itself, pressed down on everyone!

"No!!!"

The ghostly flames in Elder Bloodbone's eye sockets instantly dissipated. He felt a death crisis that could crush him into dust, and he was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were shattered. He desperately tried to open up the true qi shield of the Profound Sea Realm to escape!

But it was too late!

boom--!!!!!!

The dark golden meteor, carrying the terrifying recoil from shattering the military headquarters and the abnormal gravitational potential energy of falling from a height of ten thousand meters, struck the Blood Bone Elder with pinpoint accuracy, less than half a meter away!

There was no light or shadow of any true energy bursting forth.

There were no flashy special effects for any martial arts techniques.

Only the purest, most savage, and most irrational—absolute physical kinetic energy Big Bang!

Within a full microsecond of impact with the ground.

The ground within a radius of several hundred meters churned violently, as if boiling water were being steeped.

A semi-transparent ring of air, visible to the naked eye, carrying tens of thousands of tons of rubble and steel debris, swept outwards at a terrifying speed exceeding the speed of sound!

The first to bear the brunt was that arrogant Elder Blood Bone of the Profound Sea Realm.

His proud true energy shield couldn't even withstand a fraction of a second of this devastating physical shockwave, instantly vanishing like a soap bubble!

Followed by.

His gaunt body, hardened by countless poisons, was as tough as iron.

Under this extreme high-frequency oscillation and physical tearing, not even a shrill scream could be uttered!

boom!

Elder Bloodbone was like a blood-red water ball that had been hit head-on by a heavy hammer. In front of everyone, he exploded into an extremely dazzling cloud of blood mist!

No trace of remains! Completely evaporated!

It wasn't just him.

The dozens of elite evil cultivators from the Dark Spirit Society, whose cultivation levels were at the Bone Forging Realm and Qi Gathering Realm, didn't even have time to react before being instantly swallowed up by the violent circular air wave.

Puff puff puff!

A series of chilling sounds of flesh exploding echoed through the ruins.

These evil cultivators, whose hands were stained with blood, had their bones and internal organs shattered in an instant, turning into a pile of broken limbs and severed bodies, cruelly wiped out like autumn leaves swept away by the wind!

The bottom of the entire steelmaking furnace instantly turned into a grinding wheel of flesh and blood!

And in this shockwave that destroyed everything.

Lin Xiaoya, who was tied to the steel pillar, miraculously escaped the slightest harm.

Just a moment before the meteor struck the ground.

A massive arm covered in dark gold battle patterns had already firmly blocked her way.

A surge of supreme qi and blood, controlled to its absolute limit, transformed into an invisible, gentle barrier, completely isolating all physical impacts and the rain of blood from the outside.

Lin Xiaoya felt a sudden darkness before her eyes. Under the influence of this intense shock, her head lolled to the side, and she fell into a deep coma.

A fierce wind howled, and dust billowed into the sky.

Inside the abandoned steel furnace, a terrifying crater, more than ten meters deep, had been smashed into the ground.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

A series of deep, powerful footsteps echoed from the thick smoke billowing from the bottom of the crater.

The smoke and dust were slowly dispersed by the night breeze.

A dark gold demon god, standing two and a half meters tall and as if cast from black iron, was finally exposed to the Ghost King's sight!

His body was covered with dark gold battle patterns that exuded an ancient and destructive aura.

Her short hair flew wildly in the strong wind.

Beneath that pale white plastic mask, a pair of dark golden eyes, devoid of any human emotion and filled only with endless violence and murderous intent, coldly gazed at the steel throne high above.

An extreme sense of oppression!

A physical density so pure it's breathtaking!

"Who are you?!"

On the steel throne, the Ghost King suddenly stood up!

boom!

The throne beneath him, crafted from fine steel, was instantly twisted into a pretzel by his raging inner energy as he lost control of his emotions!

The Ghost King's scarlet eyes were fixed on Lin Yuan in the deep pit, and a look of shock that he could not hide flashed deep in his eyes for the first time ever!

A body cultivator without even a trace of true qi fluctuation!

The shockwave from his physical fall alone instantly killed a Xuanhai Realm elder under his command and shattered dozens of elite soldiers?!

This absurd thing completely overturned the martial arts understanding of Ghost King, a powerful general!

"You're that mysterious person from the forest?!"

The Ghost King's voice was extremely gloomy, and a blood-red mist, almost tangible, began to rise from his entire body.

"Good! Very good!"

"I thought you were going to hide like a turtle for the rest of your life!"

"Since you dare to risk your life for this little girl, then I will grant your wish today!"

boom--!!!

Accompanied by a furious roar from the Ghost King.

A terrifying pressure belonging to the early stage of the Town General level erupted wildly in all directions like a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood that had collapsed!

The clouds above the entire abandoned city were instantly stained a nauseating dark red by the soaring blood aura!

"Blood Sea Asura Domain!"

The Ghost King pressed his hands down sharply.

In an instant, the space within a radius of several thousand meters seemed to be forcibly distorted by some invisible force of law. The air became thicker and heavier than mercury, and endless crimson true energy churned on the ground, like a real sea of ​​blood from the underworld, completely sealing off the ruins where Lin Yuan was!

Town General's Domain!

This is the ultimate trump card that allows a town general-level expert to ignore human wave tactics and suppress a region!

Within the domain, the town general is the sole ruler. Any grandmaster who enters will have their true energy suppressed, unable to unleash even 30% of their strength!

"I don't care what kind of monster you are!"

He looked down at Lin Yuan from his high vantage point and let out a maniacal laugh that sounded like a vengeful ghost unleashed.

"Before absolute perfection, pure brute force is nothing but a joke!"

"Today, you and this little girl will both die here!"

Bottom of the deep pit.

Faced with the overwhelming and oppressive town general's domain, and the suffocating blood-red true energy.

Lin Yuan slowly raised his head.

He didn't speak.

Beneath that pale mask, not even a flicker of emotion appeared in those dark golden eyes.

He simply twisted his neck slightly, producing a chilling cracking sound.

Now that the banquet has been prepared.

So.

Warm-up complete.

It's time to sit down and eat!
