"This..."
"It's... it's the Abyss!"
The sudden rift in the void sent shockwaves through the crowd. Even legendary-grade modified humans like Serian wore expressions of alarm and disbelief.
The Abyss and the Black Tide were universal calamities, inescapable disasters that threatened all civilizations.
Their pupils contracted, reflecting the sky as wisps of mist drifted from the fissure.
A crushing pressure descended, shaking the air like the weight of Mount Tai. It bound every ounce of Chen Feng's power.
Huff
In his half-griffin form, Dalton exhaled in relief. He watched the massive golden fist imprint slow to a crawl, restrained by an invisible force. It moved with snail-like slowness, nearly frozen in mid-air.
A smirk crept across his face as he glanced at Chen Feng near the giant's heart, his gaze as cold as if he were looking at a corpse.
At that moment, seeing Dalton's expression, Serian and the others finally snapped out of their daze, recalling Chen Feng's earlier warning.
"Dalton!"
"You've betrayed us and sided with the Evil God?!"
The furious shouts filled the air, disbelief ringing in every voice. The members of the fourth legion struggled to accept this revelation.
The Abyss and the Black Tide were the sworn enemies of their civilization, incompatible and destined for eternal war.
Yet Dalton, the Legion Commander at the core of their civilization's leadership, had chosen to align himself with the Evil God?
This betrayal was far more unacceptable than the schemes and conflicts of the Civil War!
"Heh, I simply made the correct choice."
Dalton chuckled derisively, glancing upward.
"Our civilization has become corrupt."
"The sacred council is hopelessly corrupt, clinging to power when they should have been extinguished long ago."
As if in response, a Blood Moon suddenly materialized within the pitch-black rift high above, casting a crimson glow.
An overwhelming pressure solidified, immobilizing the massive metallic fist as if it were imprisoned.
A primal terror gripped every heart, and the sun in the sky slowly began to fade.
The world plunged into darkness, illuminated only by the Crimson Blood Moon suspended in the sky, its crimson light the sole source of illumination.
In that instant, both legendary-grade modified humans and the colossal warships experienced magnetic field disturbances, becoming immobilized as their energy sources went dormant.
Pupils contracted in shock and fear, but Dalton's wings fluttered as he landed near the golden giant's left heart.
"Worthy of being one of the Nine Kings."
His hawk-like black eyes flashed with an eerie light. The giant's golden aura faded, its armor retracted, and it reverted to its ethereal form.
Dalton met Chen Feng's gaze, his mockery now undisguised.
"You, who underwent the sacred transformation, are indeed formidable. Even among the nineteen legions, few could match your strength."
"But alas, it's all over now."
Dalton grinned eerily as black particles materialized in his hand, rapidly coalescing into the broadsword that had vanished earlier.
"With your blood, I will summon the Evil God and utterly annihilate this corrupt regime."
"Even the mighty Sacred Council and the Sacred Emperor will pay a terrible price!"
His voice was fanatical, bordering on madness.
The broadsword in his hand gradually sharpened, its pitch-black tip piercing the giant phantom and relentlessly closing in on Chen Feng's body.
Witnessing this, despair washed over everyone's faces.
"Once everything is destroyed, I, Dalton, will become the new Sacred Emperor!"
"Then, in the name of the Evil God, I will rebuild the world."
Dalton's expression twisted as the Crimson Blood Moon loomed overhead, bathing everything in its crimson light.
A cacophony of despairing cries and silent wails filled the air as the pitch-black blade plunged toward Chen Feng's heart.
"Come!"
"Primal King, let your blood be the catalyst for all of this!"
Boom!!
Suddenly, a deafening, muffled explosion shook the world.
Dalton's triumphant words were cut short as he was sent flying backward, a platinum glow replacing his former position.
The crowd froze, their despairing expressions abruptly halting.
A body forged from rock and alloy steel came into view, its muscles carved like stacked stone blocks.
Golden wings and a crown radiated light, while a diamond-shaped crystal reflected the world, exuding majesty and silence.
"H-how is this possible?!"
A searing pain tore through Dalton's chest and abdomen, his face contorting with shock and fury.
How could anyone breach such an impenetrable oppressive force?
As his body continued to slide backward, a sudden chill ran through him.
Looking ahead, he saw a pair of eyes wreathed in Crimson Gold Flames piercing through the Platinum Colossus, burning into his vision.
"Who gave you the courage to claim certain victory?"
Whoosh!!
As the words echoed, platinum light surged skyward, growing exponentially until it struck the Crimson Blood Moon like a comet colliding with the sun.
Boom!!
The world trembled under the cataclysmic roar, and cracks spiderwebbed across the once-impenetrable oppressive force.
Faint rays of light pierced the oppressive darkness, shattering the seals and revealing the original azure sky.
In that instant, the rigid giant phantom stirred. Golden armor erupted across its form, expanding wildly until its colossal fist radiated blinding golden light once more.
"No!!"
A chilling premonition of doom flooded Dalton's mind. He frantically beat his wings, desperate to evade at Mach speed.
But.
Whoosh!!
The viscous air parted like seawater before an irresistible force, as invisible white shockwaves spiraled outward.
The overwhelming wind pressure locked everything in place. The golden fist, imbued with unparalleled might, surged forward like a mountain unleashed, meeting no resistance!
"Impossible!!"
Realizing he could no longer evade, the half-griffin Dalton roared in defiance, channeling his full power.
Particle black light coalesced into a shield, and he once again invoked the Heaven-Earth Authority.
But it was too late.
Boom!
The golden giant's fist descended like a celestial meteor, striking Dalton's struggling form head-on.
Brilliant golden light clashed against the particle black light, but the confrontation lasted barely a second.
Splat!
Boom!!!
Flesh and blood exploded, and Dalton's defiant roar abruptly ceased.
Black armor fragments mingled with gore, scattering in all directions, while his tattered cape fluttered down like drifting cottonwood seeds.
Everyone watched in stunned silence as the mountain-sized golden fist continued its relentless trajectory, piercing through the exploded flesh and hurtling toward an eleventh legion warship behind.
Boom!!!
The remaining force, still immense, transformed into an unstoppable comet strike, slamming into the light shield and the warship's hull.
Boom!!
The light shield shattered, its arc extinguished.
The hundred-meter warship shuddered violently from the blast, its alloy steel plates tearing apart like brittle tofu. A towering inferno erupted, instantly incinerating the last vestiges of darkness in the pitch-black world.
Crash!
The world shattered like a mirror, revealing the azure sky once more.
The Platinum Colossus, a towering figure in the high skies, shook the Blood Moon as if its massive body were sealing the rift in the void, erupting with brilliant golden light.
The rolling oasis earth pulsed with elemental energy, drawing in the distant desert and transforming it into towering sandstorm cyclones that surged hundreds, even thousands, of meters into the sky.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Warships of the eleventh legion were blasted from the sky, crashing in flames. The golden giant stood amidst the fiery explosions and wreckage, slowly retracting its fist.
Whoosh!
The wind howled as every movement of the giant carried immense power.
Chen Feng, his face expressionless, stood within the phantom's left chest, gazing up at the eerie Blood Moon. He couldn't help but notice its striking resemblance to the Crimson Blood Moon from the Qinggang City Dreamscape.
Suddenly, the void rift widened violently, as if the sky itself were opening a colossal maw.
Another eerie Blood Moon materialized, its vast outline faintly visible.
It resembled an endless, undulating mountain range, or perhaps an immeasurably vast and abyssal Nether Sea.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Black Tide Creatures swarmed forth from the rift, wisps of mist rapidly coalescing to engulf the entire sky.
Tens of thousands of inhuman entities surrounded the Holy Shield Colossus like a ravenous Black Sea of locusts, completely drowning its platinum radiance.
Seeing this, Chen Feng's eyes turned icy. Without hesitation, he unleashed his full power and soared into the sky.
Whoosh!
The piercing sonic boom ripped through the air, finally snapping Serian and the others out of their daze.
"Open fire!"
Boom!
The main cannons of several warships swiveled in unison, unleashing a thunderous barrage.
Blazing pillars of light annihilated everything in their path, tearing through space and blasting toward the heavens.
High above, the Black Tide Creatures evaporated like mist, turning to dust. The hundred-meter-thick beams of light tore massive rifts through the Black Tide.
Crash!
Platinum light erupted anew, and colossal force shattered the surrounding swarm of locust-like creatures.
Splattered flesh and blood brushed past the Holy Shield Colossus, which flared with golden light as it braced itself before the void rift, its fist clenched in a powerful stance.
Crack!
The air crackled as Earth Vein Power converged into its right fist, transforming the massive arm into a brutal, alloy-forged weapon.
The earth-shattering force overturned the black mist, sweeping away the inhuman creatures near the void rift. At the same moment, Chen Feng, transformed into a golden giant, finally arrived. Back-to-back with the Colossus, they synchronized their punches, unleashing a simultaneous, earth-shattering blow.
"Extreme Fist – Falling Sun!"
Boom!!
Meteorites plunged from the black mist-shrouded sky, their fiery descent igniting the atmosphere in a cataclysmic blaze.
Below, converging warship beams synchronized with the colossal fist imprint of man and phantom, merging into a final, searing strike!
Thud!!
The fist pierced the void, shattering the fabric of space.
As if striking a tangible entity, the impact sent shockwaves through the void, unleashing a cosmic tsunami.
Blinding light engulfed the sky, searing eyes and defying direct observation.
The warships trembled, their honeycomb-like light shields flickering desperately against the surging tempest.
On the alloy steel decks, warriors of the Ancient Taiduo Civilization stared wide-eyed, while figures outside the shields were hurled into the void by the hurricane-force winds, their orbital tethers snapping as they plummeted from the sky.
Finally, the incandescent golden light faded.
The survivors, tears streaming from their burning eyes, strained to look up.
The void rift slowly contracted, the blood-red eye within the inky mist glaring maliciously into the distance.
There stood the colossal Holy Shield Colossus and the golden phantom.
As both figures dissolved, they revealed the young man in the crimson cape.
Turning around, Chen Feng glanced at the fleet.
Their eyes met for a fleeting moment.
The next instant—
Buzz!
The world twisted, the sky and earth spinning violently.
The Black Tide surging from the void rift and the Ancient Taiduo Civilization's fleet vanished simultaneously. The high-altitude sky and the desolate desert landscape disappeared without a trace.
He found himself back in the spacious chamber of the Inverted Pyramid. The white arc of light above continued its linear flow, pulsating in rhythmic waves.
Yellow crystals embedded in the walls cast a faint, scattered glow.
Dazed, Chen Feng nearly lost himself in the lingering memories of his recent experience.
Was it just a dream?
Or a glimpse into the true past?
Puzzled, he turned his gaze to the circular pillar of light before him.
Two Fragments of Divinity still floated within, seemingly the key to his Dream Incursion and the greatest encouragement for his actions within the dream.
More questions arose, and soon—
His Perception stirred, and he abruptly looked toward the opposite side of the circular pillar.
The scattered light from the yellow crystals gradually converged, coalescing into a magnetic projection that steadily took shape.
Finally, it materialized into a humanoid phantom!
