"I advise you to act wisely, prioritizing the greater good."
Buzz!
A majestic divine aura filled the heavens, and a cold, detached voice—reminiscent of the voice of God—descended with the light, enveloping the ocean.
Waves surged and crashed, foam churning.
The giant in the sea fell into a brief silence.
Even its towering, ten-thousand-zhang-tall body seemed insignificant against the celestial backdrop, unable to rival the sun despite its heaven-piercing stature.
Witnessing this scene, Yang Wudi and his companions on the distant ferry paled slightly, their expressions complex.
"Grandmaster Chen..."
They knew his pride well.
They understood how deeply such condescending words, spoken from such a lofty position, would humiliate him.
Yet this being was like a figure from myth, a divine entity capable of effortlessly binding angels—a power beyond mortal comprehension.
As these thoughts raced through their minds, their eyes flickered, and they clenched their fists.
In stark contrast, the federation personnel on the deck knelt in reverence, their faces filled with awe, daring not to defy the divine presence.
A tense silence hung in the air, broken only by the rhythmic crash of waves.
Her phoenix eyes blazing with murderous intent, He Mulan finally drew her sword and stepped into the void.
"You've gone too far."
The sword sang as she unleashed her strike.
High above, the Sword Emperor's eyes snapped open, its golden, glass-like body radiating divine light.
An invisible Qi mechanism materialized into a thin golden thread, stretching from the highest heavens to the deepest ocean, capable of cleaving space and severing all things.
Just as the blade was about to fall, the black-robed man on the opposite side of the dome stepped forward and shook his head gently.
"Why bother?"
Hum!
Qi surged, shattering the sky.
The black-and-gold Heavenly Shieldbearer activated its gravity manipulation, transforming into a towering divine figure blocking the way.
The cloud layer solidified into a massive shield.
Even the air itself condensed into matter, forming a special Force Field that locked down space and distorted all things.
Boom!!
In that instant, Qi mechanisms collided, sending a deafening roar echoing through the void.
The golden, glass-like Sword Emperor was blocked, and He Mulan was simultaneously ensnared by the invisible Force Field.
She glanced sideways at the scene.
On the other side, the sacred sun still hung high, its Helios within wearing an indifferent expression. He withdrew his gaze, his golden eyes sweeping across the sea once more.
Hum!!
Strands of golden light coalesced into a luminous cage, seeking to imprison the Windrider.
The world ark concealed secrets the Federation could never afford to ignore.
With He Mulan distracted and unable to intervene, this was their perfect opportunity.
"No!" Star Spirit cried out in alarm.
She frantically manipulated the light screen in the central control room, attempting to activate the light shield for defense or even cloak the ship to evade detection.
But the solar beams were relentless, penetrating every crevice and impossible to defend against.
Within moments, the Windrider was exposed, frozen in place, its energy modules sealed off.
"Chen Feng!" Star Spirit shouted, her voice frantic.
She had already sensed the Sun King's dangerous nature. If they were stranded in Federation territory, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Even her own intelligence might be enslaved.
"Still resisting?"
As if sensing the desperate pleas in the magnetic field fluctuations, Helios spoke coldly, his gaze sweeping over all creation.
Light surged anew, solidifying into chains of light ten thousand meters long.
The Windrider was swiftly ensnared, destined to be bound and sealed just like the three angel primals.
"I have already given you your chance."
"If you fail to grasp it, then..."
Boom!!
Suddenly, a massive platinum hand erupted from the depths, shattering the so-called words of God.
It seized the chains of light in a single grip, its mountain-sized giant body overturning the ocean as it soared skyward, blocking the Windrider's path.
"A big guy!"
The sudden rescue made the Star Spirit cry out, her small face brimming with excitement as hope surged through her.
The black and gold Heavenly Shieldbearer turned its gaze, while Helios, within the sacred sun, narrowed his eyes, his expression growing colder.
For two centuries, no one had dared to defy him so brazenly.
His golden pupils radiated a chilling light, reflecting the world as they locked onto Chen Feng behind him.
He had already discerned that the Holy Shield Colossus was under Chen Feng's command.
"Young one, it seems you do not value this opportunity..."
"You old fossil!"
Boom!!
Radiant flames erupted skyward as golden armor soared into the heavens.
Chen Feng shattered Helios's words once more, instantly breaking through the sea's surface!
Splash!!
The wind pressure raged as yellow light exploded.
He transformed into a golden armor giant, rising toward the sun.
"You dare obstruct me from killing my enemies and taking back my friends?"
"Today, I'll show you whether even the divine can be stained with blood!"
Boom!!
A sea of flames surged behind the giant like a cape.
Crimson flames coursed through his golden body, and the sky suddenly darkened.
"Oh?"
Helios raised an eyebrow, his peripheral vision catching the strange phenomenon high above.
A massive comet plunged from the heavens, tearing through Earth's atmosphere like a celestial meteorite. Its diameter stretched nearly ten kilometers.
The crushing pressure bore down with overwhelming force, causing the air to crackle and the ocean waves to surge violently.
Whoosh!
Even more terrifyingly, the comet ignited, warping space itself.
The entire sea region's temperature soared to over ten thousand degrees Celsius.
The golden armor giant's cape billowed as he positioned himself before the Sun.
The radiant flame fist mark merged with the celestial comet, poised to strike.
A deafening sonic boom ripped through the sky vault, drawing the attention of all, including distant warships racing toward the scene.
"What is that...?"
The Red Nation Fleet finally arrived nearby, their faces grim as the blinding light made it impossible to discern details.
In response, a cold voice echoed through the void:
"Foolish."
A blinding light erupted.
Endless streams of brilliant golden light surged forth from the sacred sun, engulfing all creation.
The high-altitude comet shattered instantly into particles of cosmic dust.
As for the towering giant and his golden armor fist mark hurtling toward them:
Boom!!
A radiant barrier of light materialized, its shockwaves tearing through the sky vault.
Rip!!
A long, cone-shaped rift appeared in space, like a wound in the fabric of reality.
The great ocean erupted in a tidal wave, shaking the Earth's crust.
A distant ferry capsized and sank beneath the raging waves.
The Red Nation warships, having rushed to the scene, activated their highest-level light shields, barely withstanding the shockwaves as they halted several kilometers away.
Splash! Splash!
The wind and waves raged, ravaging heaven and earth.
For a brief moment, the world fell silent. He Mulan and the heavenly shieldbearer simultaneously turned their gazes toward the epicenter of the chaos.
The Holy Shield Colossus, a giant towering like a mountain, gripped chains of light, spread its wings, and stood with its back to the onslaught, steadfastly protecting the Windrider.
"This..."
The atmosphere grew heavy, yet the world remained still.
The thunderous roar of the waves pierced their ears. At the heart of the earlier impact, only endless golden light remained, sealing the space with no other movement.
Sensing something amiss, the Star Spirit's heart trembled. She urgently activated the Windrider's detection module.
No signs of life appeared; the overwhelming heat and light masked all bio-energy fields.
The luminous barrier formed a spherical space, within which chains of light could be faintly seen extending outward, snaking in all directions, as if to drag Chen Feng into the fate of the three angels.
"Chen Feng!!" the Star Spirit cried out, suddenly gripped by panic.
Yang Wudi and his companions, who had emerged from the distant tidal wave, also noticed the anomaly. Their wet hair plastered against their foreheads, they anxiously looked up at the sky.
"How dare you mortals presume to glimpse the divine majesty?"
"We have guarded civilization for countless years. Your disrespect is a grave sin. Today, we will suppress you to teach the world the meaning of reverence!"
Helios's voice boomed as boundless light and heat erupted from the Sun.
The crowd's eyes burned, tears of blood streaming down their faces.
He Mulan's expression turned icy as she reconnected with the Sword Emperor.
Clang!
The sword's resonance shook the heavens. The golden, glass-like giant's right arm rose high, materializing an indestructible golden sword.
With a single strike, she tore through space, cleaving through all existence.
The blade hurtled toward the solar beam, poised to shatter the blockade of light.
But then...
"If you had obtained the World Sword, I might have been wary."
"But as it stands..."
A colossal shield of black and gold rose high, nearly obscuring the sky.
The world's gravity warped again, forming a Force Field that solidified everything in its path.
Clang!
A shattering sound echoed as the cloud layer disintegrated.
The spatial rifts in the sky rapidly sealed. The Heavenly Shieldbearer, manipulating gravity, once again blocked the Sword Emperor's strike.
Her phoenix eyes flickered with a cold, calculating glint.
He Mulan swiftly raised her sword, her voice ringing with defiance.
"Very well!"
"Let's see if you can withstand a strike from the World Sword itself!"
Hum!
As her words faded, she transformed into a golden rainbow light, soaring into the heavens and plunging into the crystal core within the Sword Emperor's chest.
The sword resonated with a resounding clang, unleashing a blinding divine light.
An endless stream of golden energy converged upon the Sword Emperor's right arm, causing the tightly gripped, intangible sword to materialize with greater solidity.
"This—"
"You found the World Sword?"
A voice filled with shock and disbelief echoed from within the Heavenly Shieldbearer. The black-robed man instantly teleported inside, his expression darkening.
At the same moment, Helios, within the Sacred Sun, sensed the anomaly and momentarily lost focus.
The golden-glazed giant raised its arms high, amplifying the Sword Emperor's destructive power. An infinite cutting force threatened to shatter all existence.
In that instant, both the Sun King and the Heavenly Shieldbearer felt a surge of dread. They frantically unleashed their full power in a desperate attempt to defend themselves.
Boom!!
Just then, scarlet-gold light erupted from beyond the heavens. A Blazing Sun materialized anew, accompanied by a crimson moon that solidified into existence, orbiting around it.
Part of the Sacred Sun's radiance was stolen away, and countless scarlet-gold sparks began to fill the sky.
"What is this...?"
Yang Wudi and the others once again sensed the familiar fluctuations, their expressions filled with excitement.
The Star Spirit aboard the Windrider also detected the change, a glimmer of hope appearing in her eyes.
"Give me..."
"Break!!"
Boom!!
The cold command echoed through the air as fiery stars illuminated the sky vault.
Countless points of light materialized into objects, wave after wave of comets converging, igniting the atmosphere as they roared downward.
"You dare!"
Helios's face turned icy as he unleashed his full power.
But the Sword Emperor, hovering above, seized the opportunity.
"Slash!"
Swish!
A golden sword flash streaked across the sky and vanished.
At first, everything seemed calm, unchanged.
But in the next instant—
Rip!
A spatial rift tore open, bisecting the great ocean north to south and exposing the seabed.
Seawater cascaded into the ten-thousand-meter-deep fissure in the bedrock, while the heavenly shield force field above was also torn apart.
The destructive power appeared immense.
"Hmm?"
Frowning slightly, the heavenly shieldbearer sensed something was amiss.
Legend held that the world sword could shatter all things, even the laws of reality.
Yet while the destruction before him was formidable, it fell far short of the terrifying power described in the records of the Ancient Taiduo Civilization.
Focusing his senses, he found that the black-gilded shield, which blotted out the sky, had strained but ultimately withstood the sword's strike.
"You don't have the world sword!"
Helios spoke coldly, instantly realizing the truth: He Mulan was lying to distract him.
Boom!!
In that instant, countless comets crashed down, slamming into the barrier.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The deafening roars echoed across the heavens and shook the seas.
The radiant barrier surrounding the sacred sun strained under the relentless assault, drawing countless gazes.
Crack!
A piercing, unnatural sound reverberated through the air.
Helios frowned, snapping back to focus, and prepared to unleash another attack.
Inside the Windrider, the Star Spirit and Yang Wudi, watching from afar, clenched their fists, their eyes burning with hope.
Boom!!
Just before the barrier could erupt in blinding light,
a golden-armored fist mark shattered through the barrier. Five fingers gripped the jagged edges of the fissure and tore the barrier apart with savage force.
Boom!!!
The radiant barrier shattered completely, scattering its incandescent fragments in all directions.
The scarlet gold cape of the golden armor giant billowed wildly as the colossal figure reappeared in the world, towering across the heavens.
"You seek death!" Helios declared coldly, his golden pupils flickering with suppressed fury.
As a divine being, he should have easily subdued this mortal. Yet now, his blockade had been breached.
Murderous intent surged within him as he prepared to strike.
But in the next instant...
"Hmm?"
His golden pupils narrowed sharply. The golden armor giant suddenly opened his left palm.
A small, circular orb emitting a pale yellow glow lay cradled in his hand, the three angel primals within appearing like specimens preserved in amber.
"You—!!"
Helios finally snapped out of his daze, his icy voice dripping with fury.
The fact that the enemy had stolen the three angel primals he had sealed completely defied everyone's expectations.
In response, Chen Feng met his gaze, his Perception sweeping the surroundings.
The sacred sun was closing in again, unleashing a burst of radiant heat.
The heavenly shieldbearer also intervened, his attack like a mountain range collapsing, a crushing encirclement.
Chen Feng's expression turned glacial as he clenched his fist.
"Their lives and deaths," he declared, "are mine to command!"
Boom!!
The small sphere of golden light shattered violently as the golden armor giant's five fingers tightened, crushing everything within.
The Heart of Life's innate ability had already activated silently, ravenously devouring the primordial power of the three angels.
In mere moments, agonized wails echoed before falling into deathly silence.
The three tyrannical, evil Evil God Angels had become relics of the past!
The two federal saints, now utterly enraged, erupted with murderous intent.
"Kill him!" Helios roared, launching the first strike.
Divine light erupted from him as he once again seized control of the world's light.
Thousands of light arrows materialized, each over a hundred meters long, rivaling the main cannon of the Windrider warship.
Driven by his will, the luminous arrows rained down in a torrential downpour.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Chen Feng parried with his fists, unleashing explosive bursts of radiant flames.
The golden armor giant roared like a berserk dragon, its fists hammering down in relentless succession.
Hundreds of light arrows materialized every second, yet hundreds of fists countered them in equal measure.
Bright yellow light flickered ceaselessly, while Scarlet Gold fist shadows refused to yield.
Shattered fragments of light scattered through the air like glittering shards.
Helios sensed something amiss. Chen Feng's power seemed to surge again, showing faint signs of surpassing even angelic realms.
A sudden realization struck him: the suspicious circumstances surrounding the angels' encirclement, and the world's awed whispers of a "perfect world."
"They sent angels to encircle him and even enlisted the world ark's aid."
"This man must be hiding some secret!"
His golden pupils reflected everything. He manipulated the light once more, unleashing thousands of chains of light.
The Rain of Light intensified, the arrows growing exponentially.
Chen Feng's pressure mounted sharply. Several luminous arrows pierced his Gale Qi, forcing him to retreat across the heavens.
At the same time, chains of light transformed into Flood Dragons, each over a hundred meters thick, coiling around him with the intent to bind him.
"Chen Feng!!"
Realizing the danger, the Star Spirit immediately regained her composure and urgently warned him.
Looking in the direction she indicated, Chen Feng saw the Holy Shield Colossus tearing apart the chains of light that had been entangling the Windrider, shattering them into fragments.
Nearby space began to distort and ripple, showing signs of instability.
Even the seawater below churned violently, as if invisible forces of repulsion and attraction were simultaneously activated, attempting to open a spatial channel.
In an instant, Chen Feng understood.
The Star Spirit was activating the Windrider's warp drive.
If successful, he could escape safely, using spatial teleportation to return to the radiant light of the Red Nation.
"Trying to escape?"
Helios saw through the plan instantly.
His icy gaze reflected the entire world without missing a single detail.
Buzz!!
The boundless light surged again, and a golden solar beam over a hundred meters thick pierced through the heavens, hurtling straight toward the ark.
Everything in its path was vaporized into dust, and the seawater below turned golden.
At the critical moment, the Holy Shield Colossus roared in fury, unleashing its Origin.
Boom!!
Platinum light coalesced into armor, while its complete spiritual world fully activated.
Infused with boundless earth vein origin, the Colossus crossed its massive arms, forming an impenetrable barrier.
Buzz!!
In an instant, light and heat erupted, as if a pillar of fire had swallowed the world.
The blinding radiance expanded from a pillar into an endless, all-consuming sphere, stealing all sight.
"The big guy!!" the Star Spirit cried out, her face trembling.
She clearly saw the Colossus's indestructible stone body nearly vaporize.
Its stone wings shattered, and massive chunks of its body were missing.
The boundless heat continued to evaporate the Colossus. Sensing this, Chen Feng erupted in fury.
"Ah!"
Buzz!!
Gale Qi ignited, stimulating his Acupoints.
He frantically burned his Qi and Blood, and Force, unleashing a blinding pillar of light that shot skyward.
Boom boom boom boom boom!!
The chains of light shattered, and fiery Meteors materialized once more in the heavens.
"Oh?" Helios remarked indifferently, his pupils reflecting Chen Feng's desperate struggle.
"Still clinging to life?"
While simultaneously suppressing the Holy Shield Colossus, scorching its Origin with endless heat to disrupt the Windrider's warp jump, Helios conjured another pillar of light, aiming it directly at Chen Feng.
Clang!!
At the critical moment, the Sword Emperor reappeared.
In the crystal control room, He Mulan's cold gaze fixed on her sword, the glowing patterns on her face transforming into brilliant gold.
She had forcibly broken through the Heavenly Shieldbearer's defenses, appearing before Chen Feng and unleashing a sword strike.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Myriad arrows of light exploded, scattering into a rain of light across the sky.
The brilliant golden solar beam, capable of severely injuring a High-Ranking Angel, was cleaved in two by the sword's edge.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The split solar beams grazed past each other, their explosive aftershock erupting a kilometer behind Chen Feng, vaporizing a vast swath of the ocean.
"Move!" He Mulan commanded, her voice low and urgent, without turning back.
The situation was spiraling out of control. With two divines attacking simultaneously, the pressure on her was immense, making it nearly impossible to protect Chen Feng completely.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Hum!
The Heavenly Shieldbearer reappeared, its colossal form looming over the sky.
Having been caught off guard earlier, allowing He Mulan to breach its defenses, the Heavenly Shieldbearer had lost face.
Now, its massive, black-gilded body expanded infinitely, its gargantuan shield crashing down like a continental plate, threatening to fill the entire Great Ocean.
"Get out of my way!"
Clang!
He Mulan roared, swinging her sword again.
The resonating sword cry, like thunder and lightning, transformed into a golden streak that shot skyward.
Within the black crystal core, the black-robed divine's expression flickered. He hastily commanded the Heavenly Shieldbearer to raise its shield horizontally.
Clang!
A crisp, resounding clang reverberated endlessly.
The colossal body, weighing as much as an entire world, was suddenly sent hurtling backward into the sky by the impact.
"Truly worthy of being one of the strongest divines."
"If your Sword Emperor hadn't lost the World Sword, we might have had to retreat a thousand miles."
A cold laugh echoed as golden light coalesced.
The Sacred Sun manipulated light, instantly flashing behind the Sword Emperor.
Her expression shifting slightly, He Mulan turned and slashed her sword.
Blinding golden divine light surged forth, only to be swiftly blocked.
Boom!!
Infinitely layered light formed an impenetrable barrier between her and the Sun King.
Space tore apart, yet the light persisted.
Helios sneered, withdrawing his gaze and seizing the opportunity to strike at Chen Feng.
Endless heat and light erupted anew, threatening to melt the golden armor giant.
On the verge of being consumed by the scorching radiance and suffering a crippling blow, Chen Feng roared, "You old dog!"
Boom!!
A Crimson Gold Volcano materialized from thin air, its colossal form pressing down on the heavens, incinerating all beneath it.
The great ocean had once again been replaced by land.
Silver frost covered mountains and rivers, while verdant fields stretched across the earth.
Within the raging storm, scarlet magma surged and exploded with violent force.
"You think you can kill me?"
Chen Feng's eyes burned with Scarlet Gold, his gaze as predatory as fire.
The radiant flames around him erupted anew, igniting everything and transforming him into an even more colossal golden armor giant.
His nearly perfect spiritual world expanded, enveloping him.
A Blazing Sun replaced the Sun in the sky.
A crimson moon rotated, and stars plummeted from the heavens.
"So what if you're a divine?"
"Today, I will make you bleed!"
Boom!!
Channeling every ounce of his burning Qi and Blood and Force into a single, savage strike, Chen Feng had never pushed himself this far.
The Indestructible Golden Body amplified once more, and the Cosmic Burning Force surged to scorching temperatures.
Abandoning all concern for revealing his identity, Chen Feng activated his Steel Bones, transforming them into new armor that enveloped the giant's body.
Simultaneously, the Black Armor spread, silently encasing his physical body and amplifying his power.
"This is..."
Helios's golden pupils widened in surprise as he sensed the anomaly, taken aback by the sudden shift.
But before he could react—
Boom!!
The infinitely expanding perfect world suddenly contracted, merging into Chen Feng's fist.
The surrounding space began to collapse as the golden armor giant seized the opportunity, the lone volcano behind him erupting violently!
Boom!!
The world-shattering punch, infused with the Martial Dao Momentum and spiritual might, seemed like nothing more than a scarlet gold glow. Yet it carried the full force of Chen Feng's power, capable of piercing even the Spatial Barrier.
Crack!
In an instant, cracks appeared in the light shield, and Helios, in his Sun Incarnation, paled slightly.
Raw, primal force poured forth relentlessly, piercing through all light and striking directly at his true form.
Simultaneously, explosive heat erupted, briefly neutralizing the Sun King's endless light and heat.
Boom!!
The light shield shattered, and the Rain of Light vanished.
An infinite Rain of Light cascaded across the heavens, momentarily dimming the Sun King's radiance.
"Go!!" Chen Feng roared, the volcano behind him erupting again.
Burning Cosmic Burning Force coursed through his body, violently vibrating and piercing outward.
In an instant, a wisp of golden flame surged forth, following the Golden Armor's fist as it pierced into the Sun.
"What's that?" He Mulan's gaze sharpened, while the black-robed middle-aged man within the Heavenly Shieldbearer frowned slightly.
In that fleeting moment, both of them had sensed a faint but undeniable sense of threat.
This was truly astonishing.
Buzz!
As if in response, the golden Sacred Flame ignited the Sun, its blinding golden light far surpassing the brilliance of imperial yellow.
Boom!!
The Sun erupted violently, distorting space.
The shockwaves, akin to a nuclear explosion, annihilated everything in their path.
Endless heat and light surged forth once more, creating a mushroom cloud-like phenomenon that soared into the heavens.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Steel Bones shattered, and Azure Armor shattered.
Chen Feng was sent flying backward, plummeting from the sky.
The radiant flames around his body dissipated completely. Suppressing his weakness, he landed gracefully on the Windrider.
The surrounding ocean, stirred by the shockwaves, erupted into a tidal wave.
The already ravaged Great Ocean collapsed further, sinking thousands of meters in a series of earthquake-like tremors, forming towering water spouts that resembled serpentine dragons.
"Move!" Chen Feng roared, his voice hoarse.
Ignoring the catastrophic aftermath, the heavily damaged Holy Shield Colossus shrank to its normal size and limped forward, dragging its battered body as it flew toward them.
