Buzz!
A pillar of energy erupted, instantly vaporizing and piercing through the blood river within the Locking Void Realm.
The formidable blood hell was once again breached, leaving a massive gaping hole. A Serpentfolk camp over a kilometer away was struck directly.
Boom!!!
Light and heat exploded, blinding the heavens.
Hundreds of elite Serpentfolk were instantly vaporized, their flesh and blood exploding into nothingness.
The surrounding earth and rock, including the entire camp, were reduced to ashes, leaving behind a crater over a kilometer deep.
The darkened sky gradually regained its azure hue after several breaths, but the shattered cloud layer seemed beyond repair.
The Serpentfolk trembled in terror, their fear palpable.
The sky-reaching Blood Sacrifice Ritual weakened significantly as a result.
In contrast, within the central chamber of the Heaven's Fall, the Star Spirit phantom, resembling a petite girl, spoke with fervent excitement.
"Hahaha! I never imagined this ark would be the Heaven's Fall!"
"It's a pity the propulsion system is damaged, but it's not a critical issue. The defense system is 58% damaged, and the Armament Module is 63% damaged. Still, it's manageable—barely functional!"
"Energy reserves are a bit low—only 29% remaining. But with subsequent repairs, we can activate the circulation mode to convert light and thermal energy. That should be enough for the short term!"
The Star Spirit's phantom trembled slightly, clearly excited.
Before her, screens of blue light rapidly popped up, displaying Heaven's Fall's various data points.
Red warning alerts flashed alongside normal operational readouts.
From primary systems like propulsion, defense, armament, and gravity control to external components like the alloy hull, main energy engine, and anti-gravity devices, every aspect was meticulously detailed.
In an instant, under her control, Heaven's Fall stirred to life like an awakened ancient behemoth, shaking off its slumber and surging with renewed vitality.
"Chen Feng, watch closely," the Star Spirit chuckled, deliberately taunting him. "I'll show you just how powerful our Ancient Taiduo truly is!"
Chen Feng raised an eyebrow at her words, suppressing his initial impulse to intervene. He was now curious to witness the destructive potential of this world ark.
Boom!!
In an instant, another beam of energy erupted from the main cannon.
The pyramid-shaped behemoth loomed like a world-devouring giant, its main cannon's energy blast vaporizing the surrounding blood river and piercing through the heavens.
Even the transcendent power of the Angelic Power paled under this relentless barrage. Another Serpent-folk Camp was obliterated, leaving behind only a massive, scorched crater.
Chen Feng mentally estimated that the ark's laser cannon likely surpassed the Envoy Rank, approaching the power of a Lower-Ranking Angel's strike.
And this was with the Armament Module damaged, energy reserves depleted, and the weapon operating below maximum capacity.
If it were fully repaired...
A glimmer of anticipation sparked in his eyes.
Boom!!
The Star Spirit unleashed another blast.
Another Serpent-folk Camp was instantly annihilated. The towering pillars of bloodline power and the arc light rings connecting the ritual formations shattered into nothingness.
"This..."
"Impossible! What is that thing?!"
"How could it breach the blood hell?!"
In the two remaining Serpentfolk camps, panic and terror gripped the Serpentfolk.
Even High Priest Doma, protected by an angelic barrier within the temple, and the five Pseudo-Saints widened their Serpent Eyes in disbelief, struggling to comprehend the sudden turn of events.
Hadn't that legendary civilization construct been destroyed long ago?
Why was it unleashing such a terrifying killing move now?
As these thoughts raced through their minds, the Serpentfolk's expressions shifted abruptly.
Looking up, they saw the massive blood hell sealing the space growing dimmer, its crimson hue fading into an ethereal haze.
Clearly, it was rapidly weakening due to the loss of its primary power source.
"This is bad!"
"The blood hell requires sufficient bloodline power to maintain! If this continues, we're doomed!"
Bloodshot veins appeared in Doma Saint's Serpent Eyes, and the five Pseudo-Saints finally grasped the gravity of the situation.
If this continued, the blood hell would inevitably fail to contain their enemy.
Even if they miraculously escaped death at the hands of Ancient Taiduo's civilization construct, they would undoubtedly face the wrath of Lord Angel and the Temple.
The inevitable outcome was clear: each Serpentfolk revealed a flicker of fear and desperation.
"Blood Sacrifice!"
"No more delays!"
Doma Saint, his composure shattered, roared with frantic urgency.
The Pseudo-Saints of the Five Great Tribes gritted their teeth, forced to make the only remaining choice.
"With our tribal blood, we offer tribute to the gods!"
"Sacrifice!"
嗡!!
In an instant, accompanied by a frenzied chant, the Serpentfolk in the remaining two camps slashed their wrists, offering their bloodlines as sacrifice.
Even Doma and the other five Saints sacrificed portions of their own power.
Immediately, a hurricane-like vortex formed, spiraling skyward, while lightning crackled and thunder boomed, merging with the heavens and earth.
The Bloodline Power of the Five Great Tribes triggered celestial phenomena. Sensing the anomaly, the Star Spirit aboard the Heaven's Fall ordered another bombardment.
Boom!!
The blood river evaporated further, visibly shrinking by more than half.
Yet the camp where the Saints were located proved unexpectedly resilient.
The angelic barrier, as sturdy as a turtle's shell, shattered under the assault, but failed to completely kill the Saints within.
"Miscalculation. The Blood Sacrifice Ritual has strengthened the barrier's power."
The Star Spirit's eyes narrowed, and she swiftly issued new commands.
This delay allowed the Serpentfolk Saints below to reveal their ferocious expressions. Bloodstained, they completed the final step of the Blood Sacrifice Ritual.
Whoosh!
In an instant, a crimson beam shot skyward, piercing the dome and instantly sealing the breach torn in the blood hell.
Within the camp, the Serpentfolk withered visibly, their bodies drying up as they died.
The ashes of their flesh and blood scattered in the wind, until only the six Serpentfolk Saints remained, their faces twisted with malice and resentment.
In contrast, the blood hell seemed to have received a massive infusion of energy, solidifying once more.
Blood-red chains snaked outward, rapidly repairing the gaps blasted by the laser cannon.
Moreover, a colossal winged serpent phantom, as vast as a mountain range and capable of blotting out the sky, coiled around the barrier.
The sky darkened rapidly as storm clouds gathered.
The temperature plummeted, and the surging blood river within the blood hell seemed to come alive, its crimson waves coalescing into serpentine forms that lunged at the ark light shield.
The already formidable corrosive power intensified, forcing the Heaven's Fall's defense system to accelerate its energy consumption.
"Something's wrong!"
Sensing the shift, Star Spirit moved to fire the laser cannon again.
But Chen Feng shook his head, stopping her. "I'll handle this."
The Heaven's Fall had limited power reserves, and it needed to repair its systems to replenish energy from light and heat sources.
Therefore, there was no need to exhaust their remaining power here.
"Alright," Star Spirit said after a moment's thought, not pressing the matter further.
She believed she had already proven the world ark's value and earned Chen Feng's respect.
As they communicated, a white light coalesced within the ark, forming an arc light ring beneath Chen Feng's feet.
"Ready?"
"Mm-hmm," Chen Feng nodded, vanishing from his spot the next instant.
Outside the ark's light shield, the crimson chains multiplied into the tens of thousands.
Some coiled around the light shield, while others transformed into serpentine dragons, frantically biting and consuming it.
Corrosive white smoke hissed and drifted across the light shield, and the honeycomb-patterned barrier visibly flickered and faded.
Even the breach in the blood hell, previously blasted open, was rapidly closing, threatening to seal completely.
Seeing this, High Priest Doma of the Temple and the last five Serpentfolk from the Five Great Tribes trembled with vengeful glee.
This was the final Blood Sacrifice, purchased with the lives of their people and most of their own Origin.
The Angelic Power bestowed by the Winged Serpent King had been fully activated. They refused to believe their enemy could still resist.
Boom!!
A golden beam of light pierced through everything, tearing another hole in the nearly restored blood hell.
High Priest Doma's face stiffened, and the other five Serpentfolk Saints wore similar expressions.
But before they could react, a Crimson Flame Meteor materialized within the new breach, burning and exploding like a scorching sun.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Tens of thousands of blood-red chains shattered instantly, erupting into Spirit Light.
Before the fragments could merge back into the blood river, explosive flames incinerated them, vaporizing everything in their path.
The blood river churned violently, unleashing surging waves.
Hissing steam billowed continuously, and the Angelic Power—a corrosive force that devoured all things—seemed to encounter its natural enemy, rapidly dissipating.
"This!"
"It's the Outlander!"
High Priest Doma trembled, his gaze locking onto the golden-light-protected figure that had suddenly appeared.
The other five Saints gritted their teeth, their eyes burning with venomous hatred and a flicker of fear they themselves hadn't realized was there.
For a moment, countless eyes turned upward in awe.
Chen Feng's expression remained impassive as he gazed through the crimson rift, meeting the eyes of the winged serpent phantom coiled around the blood hell.
An invisible Qi mechanism expanded, causing the blood river to surge and the heavens and earth outside to tremble.
Even the earth below cracked and fissures appeared as violent tornadoes erupted.
"Vile Outlander," the angelic will descended, its icy voice resonating in Chen Feng's mind.
The Winged Serpent King's phantom radiated malice as it channeled the last remnants of Angelic Power from the blood hell, diving toward the interior.
The blood river churned, rapidly merging with the phantom and gradually solidifying it. The surrounding space crackled ominously, as if on the verge of shattering, revealing void rifts.
Sensing the imminent danger, Chen Feng narrowed his eyes.
Hum!
Physical Body Power surged through his veins, coalescing into a humanoid phantom identical to himself.
In less than a breath, the phantom rapidly expanded into a hundred-meter-tall golden giant.
The colossal Golden Body Qi suppressed everything, causing the air to tremble and nearly freezing the blood river within the blood hell in place.
As the Winged Serpent phantom solidified, its dive faltered, and the entire world seemed to fall silent for an instant.
"It's over."
The deep voice resonated as the golden giant ignited with crimson light.
Its right arm, wreathed in Crimson Gold Flames, struck the winged serpent phantom with the force of a volcanic eruption.
Boom!!
The air trembled violently as the blood-red winged serpent shattered into countless fragments.
The blood hell, which had sealed the space, exploded into a shower of Spirit Light that filled the sky.
Concentric shockwaves rippled across the heavens and earth like a raging storm. The blazing sun in the azure dome cast its warm light upon Chen Feng.
The winged serpent phantom vanished completely, its final malevolent gaze lingering as if plotting some future scheme, yet surprisingly leaving behind no icy threat.
Chen Feng coldly retracted his fist, the golden giant mirroring his movement.
His gaze shifted downward, surveying the six black dots below.
Resentment, shock, fear.
These emotions flooded his mind. He withdrew his gaze and vanished from the spot.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths.
High Priest Doma and the five Pseudo-Saints of the Temple stood stunned for a moment. Then, the sky suddenly blazed with light.
A Blazing Sun descended from the heavens, engulfing them in its fiery embrace.
Boom!!
Flesh exploded, and all fell silent.
