Boom!!
As the words fell, the suppressed aura erupted into the sky.
The Wrath of the Storm raged across the heavens, causing ripples in the crimson sky.
The black-robed man and the Batfolk both staggered, their expressions changing drastically. Chu Shihong, Flying General Zhao, and the others finally regained their senses.
"Grandmaster Chen?!"
Flying General Zhao stared up at the figure, his mouth agape. The world was now dominated by light and arcs of electricity.
At the high-speed rail station, Chen Yun's expression was complex, while Lin Hao's eyes flickered as he clenched his fists.
Before anyone could react, Chen Feng had already clenched his fists again, crimson gold flames erupting from his body like a pillar of light piercing the sky!
"That turtle shell is pretty tough."
"But..."
Boom!!!
Golden Qi erupted, tempering the Glazed Crystal into an even more dazzling brilliance.
Chen Feng's gaze had shifted from the crimson Barrier to the two figures in the sky, his eyes locked on them.
"If I kill you two, I'm sure I can find a way to resolve this!"
Roar!!
With a punch, a wave of Force surged through the air like a Flood Dragon.
The scarlet gold Cosmic Burning Force transformed into a ferocious tiger, exploding forward and striking the black hole in the void where the two figures stood.
Buzz...buzz...buzz...buzz!!
The overwhelming pressure burned everything in its path, causing the eerie crimson light cast down by the high-altitude mirror to flicker rapidly.
Everyone in the city suddenly felt the temperature soar, as if they had already entered the scorching summer. The unbearable heat was even approaching the temperatures found near volcanoes!
"Not good!!"
The black-robed figure in the sky and the Demonic Bat-folk's expressions changed drastically. They both unleashed their full power.
Boom!!
The Crimson Flame pillar and the blood-red mirror clashed violently, a sound like a Tiger Roar echoing through the sky.
Roar!!!
Ripples rapidly surged across the blood-red mirror, causing the surrounding barrier to waver slightly. It was forced to divert power to reinforce itself.
Within the void black hole, waves of black mist continued to surge, causing the black-robed figure and the Batfolk's auras to surge again, even surpassing the Sixth-Tier level.
Boom!!
The two forces collided, sending shockwaves and crimson flames sweeping across the sky.
Light and flames intertwined in the upper atmosphere. Distracted by this chaos, everyone in the city who had been bewitched or influenced regained their clarity of mind.
Buzz!
The blood-red mist returned to their bodies. The power of the bewitchment, which had been on the verge of expanding the Blood Sacrifice Ritual, was completely disrupted!
In the brief moment before they lost consciousness, countless people trembled with shame and regret for their previous actions.
All eyes turned once more to the black-robed youth standing tall, his fists clenched, and the Crimson Gold Flames that clashed with the blood-red sky, refusing to yield an inch.
"This..."
Chu Shihong and the others were collectively stunned. Even the Sixth-Tier Mech Warriors of the Blue Sky Group and Flying General Zhao's men were deeply shaken.
The data in their Scanning Modules was skyrocketing, already surpassing the Sixth-Tier level.
An unimaginable yet exhilarating speculation surged through everyone's minds. Martial Artists from all walks of life, including the young man named Wang Zhou, clenched their fists tightly, their faces flushed with excitement and exhilaration!
A Martial Artist?
This was the pinnacle of Martial Artists!
"Attack!!"
Suddenly, Han Chao and the Military personnel snapped back to reality.
The barrier was now incredibly sturdy, impossible to breach. But with Grandmaster Chen present, they had the equivalent of a Legendary Flying General!
Their duty was to ensure he didn't fight alone!
"Open fire!!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Missiles streaked through the air, while Energy Cannons blasted into the sky.
At this moment, it wasn't just the Military and the Red Guard.
Security personnel from major supergroups and Mega Corporations temporarily set aside their rivalries and prejudices, uniting in a silent alliance to contribute their strength.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Hundreds, even thousands, of missiles soared into the sky, a truly awe-inspiring sight.
Their white contrails merged into a single plume, while streaks of blue light from Sniper Cannons and Energy Cannons tore through the air with sonic booms.
Boom!
Suddenly, a massive explosion erupted, briefly clearing the black fog from the sky.
Crimson and azure skies clashed as Black Tide Creatures, just emerging from the spatial rift, were instantly vaporized by the bombardment.
Ethereal green blood rained down, turning the faces of the black-robed figure and the Batfolk grim.
Whoosh!
Just then, a sonic boom echoed as Chen Feng shot into the sky.
Behind him, Flying General Zhao, the Blue Sky Group, and several other Sixth-Tier Modified Humans and Mech Warriors followed closely. They had volunteered to protect him, charging into the thickest fighting.
They knew the Black Tide threat was only temporarily contained.
To truly end it, they had to eliminate the two figures behind the chaos, sever the ritual's power source, and shatter the Barrier!
Boom!
With a thunderous roar, Chen Feng unleashed a fist of Scarlet Gold Force that split the heavens.
A towering flame pillar erupted, scorching the air with intense heat.
Chen Feng, like a mobile volcano, charged toward the black hole rift.
Flying General Zhao and the others held back the surrounding Black Tide Creatures, leaving Chen Feng's eyes fixed solely on the black-robed figure and the Batfolk.
"Delusional!"
The black-robed figure's face darkened. The suspended mirror in front of him shrank instantly, standing before him like a shield.
At the same time, a surge of power emanated from the black hole behind him, reinforcing his body.
Buzz!!!
An Angel-tier punch was deflected by the mirror, sending dense ripples rippling outward.
The resulting shockwave swept away all the blood-red light and black mist, causing even Flying General Zhao and his companions to grimace and hastily retreat.
"You truly deserve to die!" the black-robed figure hissed, his body exploding and reforming repeatedly.
Beside him, the Batfolk underwent a transformation as well. Its massive bat wings fully extended, spanning over a hundred meters and blotting out the sky, completely blocking the incoming barrage of missiles and energy beams.
All counterattacks were halted. Chen Feng narrowed his eyes, clearly sensing that the two figures' auras were still escalating, fueled by some unknown power. They had already reached the Pseudo-Angel level.
"Just a little more, and My Lord can descend."
"How dare you resist!" the black-robed figure roared again, a crimson light bursting from his body like a burning life force, pouring into the black hole's rift.
Buzz!!!
As if in response, a colossal crimson Blood Moon bloomed within the black hole's darkness, resembling a terrifying creature opening its eyes and casting its gaze upon the world.
With a mere flip of its body, it could stir the world's winds and clouds, causing the dark mist to churn endlessly.
Immediately after, a massive, scaled claw emerged from the black hole, shattering the surrounding spatial rifts completely!
Boom!!
The heavens and earth trembled, and the world shook.
The black hole expanded further, growing to over ten meters in size, like a dark gate suspended high in the sky.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!
One after another, Black Tide Creatures poured out from the black hole, churning the Sea of Mist.
At the same moment, everyone's faces turned ashen, including Chen Feng, who realized the scene before him was rapidly changing.
The sun vanished, and the sky turned pitch-black.
Two Crimson Moons hung high in the heavens. Upon closer inspection, they revealed themselves to be two cold, vertical pupils.
The creature's massive form resembled a wolf, its entire body covered in black fur. Its sharp, scaled claws seemed capable of shattering worlds and piercing space, while its bat wings, spanning over a thousand meters, blotted out the sky.
"No!!"
In an instant, countless people were trapped within their Mental Worlds.
Terrified screams erupted in unison as the terrifying creature merely gazed upon them, causing their bodies to warp, sprout grotesque tumors, and transform into inhuman monsters.
Even Flying General Zhao and his comrades felt their minds wavering, their sturdy metal bodies corroding and rusting away. Despite the constant barrage of warning data flooding their minds, reinforcing their mental defenses proved futile.
With all hope of resistance lost, Nanjiang City was on the brink of becoming a living hell.
Roar!!!
The Tiger Roar erupted, as if a spark of flame had ignited within the pitch-black Mental World.
The crowd barely regained their senses, falling into a brief silence.
Then—
Boom!!!
A heartbeat resounded, resonating with heaven and earth.
The tiny spark of flame instantly soared into the sky, expanding and incinerating all surrounding darkness.
Even the terrifying wolf-bat creature turned its gaze toward the expanding blaze.
The fiery orb floated and swelled, suspended high in the heavens.
One meter, ten meters, fifty meters, a hundred meters...
The exploding extraterrestrial meteor sun, now hundreds of meters wide, unleashed an inferno hot enough to melt Titanium, setting the world ablaze.
Everyone instinctively held their breath as the Falling Sun descended, crashing violently onto the wolf-bat's grotesque, snarling head!
Boom!!!
The earth-shattering explosion shattered the darkness!
All residents of Nanjiang City felt their world shift once more, returning to the crimson-veiled Barrier and the mist-shrouded sky choked by the Black Tide.
High above the world, the black-robed youth stood with cold eyes, his fists shielded by golden light and adorned with dazzling Glazed Crystal.
A colossal Blazing Sun hovered above his head, its explosive heat ruthlessly incinerating everything in its path.
Finally.
Boom!!
The black-robed man and the Batfolk, who had been defending, were horrified. Their bodies exploded.
Lin Hao's punch, carrying the Blazing Sun's scorching heat, tore through their defenses like a hot knife through butter, colliding directly with the claw that had ripped through the void!
Boom!!
A powerful shockwave erupted like a storm, triggering a series of sonic booms. Countless Black Tide Creatures were instantly vaporized, their remains raining down like ash.
Everyone stood stunned, their faces etched with shock.
Lin Hao and Meng Anran clenched their fists, while Flying General Zhao and the Sixth-Tier powerhouses from the Mega Corporations watched with bated breath.
Buzz!!!
But unexpectedly, the crimson barrier flickered for a moment, as if a beam of blood-red light shot out and merged with the Pitch-Black Mirror left behind by the black-robed man.
Then...
Whoosh!!!
A torrent of crimson light erupted, engulfing both Chen Feng and the Falling Sun in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, the world fell silent.
The Martial Artist, who had been compared to a Legendary Flying General, vanished without a trace. The crimson gold flames that had lingered in the sky swiftly dimmed.
The scorching heat dissipated, leaving everyone pale and staring at the lone Pitch-Black Mirror suspended in the sky.
"Fake... it must be fake!"
Wang Zhou's face stiffened in disbelief. The other Martial Artists and Military personnel present were equally shocked, their pupils contracting in disbelief.
"How could this be possible?!"
Lin Hao, arriving at the military command center in his aircraft, saw bloodshot eyes staring back at him.
At the high-speed rail station, Chen Yun collapsed, her face pale. The others from the Flame Tiger Martial Arts Hall wore similar expressions of shock and fury.
"What the hell is going on?!"
"Impossible!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Flying General Zhao and the others exchanged anxious glances. Such a powerful Martial Artist had simply vanished, the method utterly baffling and eerily strange.
Someone gritted their teeth and soared into the sky, racing toward the Pitch-Black Mirror to seize it and search for Chen Feng's trace.
Others sensed something amiss, their expressions shifting slightly as they turned their gaze back to the dark portal high above.
The dragon claws remained, continuing to tear through the void.
The spatial rift widened further, now spanning dozens of meters.
Countless Black Tide Creatures poured through the gap, surging toward the ground with unstoppable force.
The scene was utterly despairing.
"Hahahaha!"
"My Lord has descended a portion of his power! Let's see how you dare to stop me now!!"
The sinister, arrogant laughter echoed once more. Two beams of light shot out from the blood-red barrier, visible to the naked eye, and hung suspended in the Black Tide, blocking the path to the Pitch-Black Mirror.
Heart, body, limbs...
The black-robed man and the Batfolk, who should have been dead, were miraculously restored to their former glory, as if resurrected by some power within the blood-red barrier.
The Flying General-class cyborg who had been sent to seize the Pitch-Black Mirror had his Force Field shattered by a single palm strike, sending him flying backward to crash into the high heavens.
Building after building was smashed through, and the billowing smoke continued to spread.
The dull thuds of collapsing structures were deafening and persistent, burying the last embers of hope beneath the rubble.
"Are we really going to die here?"
Despair gripped the crowd, but the iron-willed soldiers of the Military continued to grit their teeth and fight on.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!
A new wave of high-altitude strikes erupted. Hundreds, even thousands, of missiles soared into the sky once more, targeting the Black Tide.
Flying General Zhao and a handful of other Flying General-level powerhouses refused to surrender. They coordinated their attacks, rescuing civilians and searching for Chen Feng.
But...
Buzz!!
The world froze. An overwhelmingly powerful pressure suddenly descended upon the world.
All the missiles exploded simultaneously in mid-air, and the energy beams were abruptly blocked by a crimson barrier that burst forth.
Thump!!
Heaven and earth fell silent, as if a colossal, terrifying creature had crossed dimensions to arrive.
Everyone looked up in unison, their eyes fixed on the dark portal.
Within the thick black mist, enormous bat wings unfurled, and a beam of crimson light shot forth.
The arrogant black-robed figure and the Batfolk, who had been so arrogant moments before, now wore expressions of fervent devotion, kneeling on one knee together.
Then, a voice of utter despair echoed once more:
"We welcome the arrival of My Lord!!"
Buzz!!
The crimson light materialized, forming a human figure in mid-air.
Countless horrified eyes turned to gaze upon this figure, which was both unfamiliar and strangely familiar.
Half-naked, covered in wounds, with half a heart beating in his hollow chest, his brown hair and Platinum Federation skin tone left everyone stunned.
"This..."
"It's Kromode!"
