infodatos Chapter 1044 Kid, who exactly are you?!
Chapter 1044 Kid, who exactly are you?!
Zhang Yuan took a deep breath. The chaotic and mixed demonic energy, spiritual energy, resentment, and fragments of time and space in the Burial Dragon Valley, as well as the magnetic force of the earth beneath his feet, all seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, flowing into his body in strands.
Greedily devoured and refined by the Chaos Furnace, it was transformed into a more condensed and pure Chaos Star Source Power containing a trace of the Dao of Time and Space, rapidly replenishing its consumption and nourishing the transforming divine and demonic body.
As he raised his head, the suppressed power of blood and qi within Zhang Yuan surged forth.
"boom--"
Amidst the earth-shaking battle cries of the Hanyue Army and the chaotic roars of the Demon Army, and under the shocked gazes of the Hanyue Army soldiers and the terrified gazes of the Demon Army, Zhang Yuan's figure transformed into a resolute stream of dark ink light!
Instead of retreating, they're advancing!
He charged headlong into the core of the spacetime vortex, which still emanated ominous energy and resembled a gaping maw of an abyss!
He was not recklessly throwing his life away.
Having just withstood the spatial turbulence, the Myriad Beasts Divine Armor protected him, but it also made him truly feel the vulnerability of the trap's core!
That was an unstable gap torn open by his previous interference and ground pulse strikes!
Furthermore, its internal energy structure is not yet fully stable due to its hasty activation!
Now is the perfect time to destroy it!
"Roar--!"
The Armor of Ten Thousand Beasts erupted with a deafening roar once more!
The phantom of the divine beast surrounded him, stubbornly resisting the cutting force of the remaining spatial turbulence!
Deep within Zhang Yuan's left eye, the speed of the Chaotic Star Vortex's reversal suddenly increased to its maximum!
They were frantically analyzing the chaotic yet profound spatial and temporal traces at the core of the vortex!
The divine fire of Xuanhuang blazed fiercely in his right eye!
It reveals the weakest link in the flow of energy!
Just as he was about to crash into that destructive core!
The newly generated chaotic star source power within Zhang Yuan's body suddenly erupted!
This power, which combines the origin of chaos, the order of stars, the essence of demonic energy, and the origin of the star core, and has just been transformed under the tempering of the great power of time and space, was forcibly activated by him with his martial will!
He unleashed a fusion technique unlike anything he had ever used before!
"Chaos Suppresses Prison, Shakes Mountains—Breaks Through the Void!"
He threw out both fists at once!
The movements are ancient and profound, as if they contain the primordial power of creation!
As the fist strikes, the immense power of the Dragon and Elephant Suppressing Prison, the profound magnetic force of Moving Mountains and Shaking Peaks, and the iron-blooded will of the Great Qin Martial Arts—"To serve the country with one's life and never retreat even in the face of death"—are all integrated into the boiling chaotic star source power!
Even more shockingly, the space itself seemed to groan under the strain of the punch!
It was not torn apart, but forcibly solidified and smoothed out by a domineering "suppression" force originating from the source of chaos!
That was not a simple freezing of space, but rather a forced "suppression" of the local spacetime chaos based on the power of chaos, making it temporarily "submit" to his fist intent!
"Boom—crash!!!"
A deafening roar!
The entire Burial Dragon Pass shook violently!
The enormous spacetime vortex was as if it had been thrown into an icy lake with a red-hot iron!
The core suddenly collapsed inward!
Then it burst forth with a blinding light, a mixture of chaotic gray light and spatial fragments!
Countless spiderweb-like black cracks spread wildly from the point of explosion!
This time, they are no longer extensions of the trap, but signs of the complete collapse of the entire trap structure!
The previously rampant spacetime turbulence instantly became violent and chaotic!
Without precise guidance, it rushes and annihilates indiscriminately in all directions like a wild horse!
Those who would be the first to suffer were the elite demons who had gathered behind the vortex, ready to take advantage of the chaos to reap the rewards!
"Do not--!!!"
Blood Demon General's eyes were bloodshot as he let out a desperate roar!
The core of his meticulously planned killing scheme was utterly destroyed by a "Qi Refiner" in such a brutal and domineering manner!
The raging, out-of-control spacetime turbulence instantly swallowed up nearly half of his personal guard!
Flesh and blood instantly turned into nothingness in the chaotic spacetime!
Beside him, the figure shrouded in shadow let out a sharp, piercing screech!
Its form became blurred and uncertain in the chaos, as if it were about to merge into the void and escape at any moment.
"it is good!!!"
A thunderous roar, filled with unparalleled shock and ecstasy, resounded throughout the battlefield!
It is the Great Lord Ba Yue!
He witnessed Zhang Yuan's astonishing punch!
He was very familiar with the profound and powerful foundation of the "Mountain Moving and Mountain Shaking Technique" contained in the boxing style, which could draw upon the earth's veins!
But what made his eyes gleam and his soul tremble even more was the core of the fist technique, which far surpassed the essence of the "Mountain Moving and Mountain Shaking Technique"—a chaotic power that seemed capable of suppressing the universe and spanning the past and present!
And the terrifying power of that fist that tore through and smoothed out space!
This is no ordinary Qi cultivator!
It's even... a technique that should never exist in this world!
"Heaven is on my side! My lads, follow me—crush them all!!!"
The pent-up frustration, ecstasy, and shock in Ba Yue Zhenjun's chest were all transformed into a burning battle intent!
His magnetic energy surged wildly, resonating with the earth beneath his feet!
He was like a moving, majestic sacred mountain!
With the immense power gathered by the Shaking Mountain Army Formation, they launched a massive all-out attack on the main force of the demon army, which had fallen into complete chaos and morale collapse due to the collapse of the trap!
"kill--!!!"
The morale of the soldiers of the Hanyue Army is soaring!
Like a flood bursting its banks, led by Ba Yue, this "human-shaped mountain," it crashed fiercely into the demon army's formation!
Swords flashed and blood flew everywhere!
"Well done, Zhang Yuan! Brothers, it's time for revenge!"
Tian Hu's eyes were bloodshot as he swung his heavy shield, smashing the head of a Shadow Claw Demon and roaring!
He unleashed all his anger!
Commander Li Kui's longsword transformed into a streak of lightning, precisely severing the arm of a demon general. He then sharply commanded the formation to cut through the enemy lines: "Push up the left flank! Don't let those demon bastards escape!"
Every soldier of the Mountain-Shaking Army seemed to be infused with a violent power!
The flames of revenge burned in his eyes!
The demon army's resistance crumbled rapidly after losing command and morale, and they were routed!
Blood Demon General watched as his elite troops suffered heavy casualties from being attacked from both sides by the out-of-control spacetime turbulence and the raging Mountain-Shaking Army, and his heart bled!
He glared venomously at Zhang Yuan, who had just regained his footing and was still slightly weak in the distance!
He glanced again at the figure beside him, almost completely blending into the shadows! He let out a roar of resentment:
"Retreat! Retreat towards the 'Black Abyss Rift'! Remember that brat! He must die!!"
With that, he suddenly threw out a blood-red bone talisman covered with strange magical patterns!
The bone talisman exploded, forming a thick cloud of blood mist that temporarily blocked the pursuit line of the Hanyue Army and disrupted the chaotic spatial-temporal flow!
Under the cover of the blood mist, the remnants of the defeated army fled in disarray deeper into the Burial Dragon Pass!
On the chaotic battlefield, the shadow messenger did not retreat with the crowd.
He moved like a ghost along the edge of the turbulent currents, dodging the deadly energy storms!
A pair of eerie green, ghostly eyes were fixed on Zhang Yuan, especially on the Myriad Beasts Armor, whose light had dimmed slightly but was still awe-inspiring!
A small, unassuming black jade slip in his hand flickered slightly, as if it were recording something!
Immediately, its form faded completely, disappearing into a distorted light and shadow, as if it had never existed, leaving only a faint, eerie aura.
After Zhang Yuan detonated the vortex, he was thrown away by the violent backlash!
The Myriad Beasts Armor flashed brightly, dissipating most of the impact!
He rolled after landing to steady himself!
The chaotic star source energy within his body circulated wildly, repairing his trembling internal organs! At the same time, it greedily absorbed the chaotic yet powerful ancient energy within the Burial Dragon Pass!
He keenly caught the Blood Demon General's venomous roar!
He could perceive the spatial ripples as the shadow disappeared more clearly, and a sense of unease arose in his heart!
The battle did not last long.
Having lost their traps and command center, the main force of the demon army suffered heavy casualties under the ferocious counterattack of the Shaking Mountain Army!
Under the cover of the Blood Demon General's hysterical roar and blood mist, the remaining troops fled in disarray into the depths of the Burial Dragon Pass!
The ground was littered with demonic corpses and shattered weapons!
On the battlefield filled with the smoke of gunpowder, the soldiers of the Hanyue Army erupted in deafening cheers!
The ecstasy of surviving a catastrophe is intertwined with the exhilaration of revenge!
The way they looked at Zhang Yuan was no longer just admiration, but also a kind of fanaticism that was almost like looking up to a god!
"Brother Zhang! You, you're practically a god of war descended to earth! You saved my life, Tian Hu's life!"
Exhausted, Tian Hu rushed excitedly to Zhang Yuan's side and patted him hard on the shoulder!
Commander Li Kui strode over, his eyes filled with amazement and lingering fear: "Zhang Yuan! If it weren't for you today, the Han Yue Army would probably be buried here! Such divine might is unheard of!" The surrounding soldiers gathered around, their eyes burning with fervor, as if they wanted to imprint Zhang Yuan's image in their hearts.
Ba Yue Zhenjun stood in the center of the devastated battlefield, his imposing figure like a pillar of strength.
He waved to his excited soldiers to clean up the battlefield, treat the wounded, and reinforce the temporary defenses.
His gaze swept across the cheering crowd, finally settling on Zhang Yuan!
He strode up to Zhang Yuan, his heavy footsteps echoing dully on the gravel.
His tall figure cast a heavy shadow, enveloping Zhang Yuan!
That gaze was no longer one of gentle appreciation for a younger generation!
Instead, it is full of scrutiny and exploration!
And a sharpness that sees through illusion, as if it wants to see through Zhang Yuan from the inside out!
The cheers around them seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier!
The air froze instantly!
The smiles on Tian Hu, Li Kui, and the others froze as they felt an indescribable, heavy pressure, and subconsciously took a half-step back.
Ba Yue stared intently at Zhang Yuan!
His voice was as deep and muffled as thunder rolling from the ground!
Each word carried immense weight, crashing into the stagnant air between the two.
"Boy...who exactly are you?!"
----------------
Tianyuan City.
The inner city's passageways are deep and secluded.
The towering Stardust Rock walls on both sides cast cold shadows.
The air was filled with the cold scent of minerals, and an invisible, suffocating sense of oppression.
The Crimson Sun Venerable walked heavily, each step echoing dully on the obsidian pavement.
His target today is the important warehouse of the "Armaments Department".
Today is the day to inventory and seal the "fire-refined copper".
Those were the key spiritual materials for forging the core of the demon-breaking weapon and maintaining the lifeline of the city's defenses, yet the Heavenly Palace forcibly requisitioned 60% of them with a mere, casual decree!
He had to see with his own eyes whether these supplies, which were crucial to the lives of countless soldiers, were being "properly" sealed up.
Or perhaps it has already become a prize for some corrupt officials to enrich themselves.
The warehouse area was heavily guarded, with heavy iron gates tightly closed, gleaming with a cold metallic sheen.
The Golden Feather Guards on guard had sharp, hawk-like eyes, filled with vigilance and scrutiny.
As Chi Yang approached, the head of the guards stepped forward, his hand on the hilt of his sword, his voice cold and businesslike.
"True Lord Crimson Sun, this is a sealed-off area. No one may enter without a Golden Feather Token. Please return."
Chi Yang paused, then slowly raised his head.
The golden flame flickered in his furnace-like pupils, but he forcefully suppressed it.
"I am here on the orders of Venerable Xuancang to inspect the sealed supplies. Make way!"
The captain of the guard's expression changed slightly as he felt a scorching pressure that could burn away one's soul rushing towards him, making it difficult for him to breathe instantly. His face turned pale and he staggered backward.
Chi Yang ignored them and walked straight to the heavy, black iron gate, which resembled a city wall.
He took a deep breath, slowly raised his right palm, and pressed it against the cold, icy door panel.
"laugh--!"
There was no earth-shattering roar, only a sharp, teeth-grinding sound like a hot knife cutting through oil.
Before the horrified eyes of the Golden Feather Guards, the center of the seemingly indestructible black iron gate softened, caved in, and was pierced through as if melted by invisible high temperature wax!
A scorching wave of air erupted from the cave entrance, engulfing the warehouse!
Chi Yang stepped in.
The warehouse was dimly lit, and the mountains of supplies appeared as blurry outlines in the shadows.
His gaze was like lightning, instantly locking onto the area deep within the warehouse that should have been filled with refined copper from the fire.
Empty!
Only in the corner were a few dull, lusterless scraps, covered with impurities and cracks, exuding an air of inferior quality!
Deep inside the warehouse, several figures dressed in Golden Feather Guard uniforms were busily packing the last few boxes of refined copper ingots, which shimmered with a pure, warm, and reddish luster, into several seemingly inconspicuous storage bags!
That crimson light was the unique spiritual essence of the highest grade of refined copper!
A chilling rage, powerful enough to incinerate everything, instantly shattered Chi Yang's last restraint!
"Good! What a bunch of rats!"
Chi Yang laughed in extreme anger. His voice was not loud, but it was like a cold wind from the depths of hell, and the temperature in the entire warehouse suddenly soared!
The reinforcing runes engraved on the wall instantly turned black and shattered! His body erupted with blazing golden flames, making him appear like an enraged sun god!
"Dare to touch the life-saving supplies for the soldiers on the front lines! Take them all down!"
He raised his hand as if to grab.
A majestic and blazing three-legged golden crow phantom, composed entirely of burning sun golden flames, screeched as it pounced out!
The golden crow spread its wings and scattered countless golden chains that were as solid as a tangible substance!
The chains seemed to have a life of their own, precisely wrapping around the few pale-faced Golden Feather Guards who were trying to resist or escape!
"Ugh!"
"Spare me!"
"My lord! We are here on behalf of..."
The screams and pleas for mercy came to an abrupt halt.
The golden flame chains contained terrifying binding power, instantly sealing off their cultivation and mobility, binding them tightly like lambs to the slaughter, suspending them in mid-air.
The intense heat scorched them, but it wasn't enough to kill them immediately.
Chi Yang wants prisoners alive, they want confessions, they want to take these parasites to his senior brother Xuan Cang and tear open this rotten festering sore!
Just as he was about to turn around and leave with his "spoils" to confront Senior Brother Xuancang—
"Om...!!!"
An extremely faint, yet strangely resonant, invisible ripple swept across the entire warehouse without warning!
The shockwave pierced through walls, disregarding distance, and instantly swept across the entire city! (End of Chapter)
