Boom!!
The world-rock walls that had replaced the sky trembled violently, cracks echoing through the air.
One after another, fissures appeared, causing the sandstorm hurricanes supporting them to collapse.
"Who's there?"
The Lava Lord, perched atop the Giant Python's head, frowned in confusion. He clearly sensed that his spiritual world, which enveloped reality, was under a ferocious assault.
His planned descent upon the palace to seize the holy sword ground to a halt. The sky-filling sandstorm tornadoes coalesced into a colossal python, rising to support the crumbling world-rock walls.
But...
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Crimson Gold Flames that burst through the cracks erupted with terrifying force, transforming into scorching flame pillars that ravaged everything in their path.
They not only shattered the giant sandstorm pythons but also swept away the Serpentfolk horde below, leaving nothing but scorched earth.
"Ah!!"
"Who is it?!"
"Save me!!"
The cries of panic and rage echoed through the sandstorm-swept spiritual world. Outside the Holy City, the Serpentfolk Army wailed in agony as their bodies were incinerated and shattered.
Blood mist filled the air before evaporating. The Three Great Tribes in the south, sensing something amiss, trembled visibly, their faces contorted in disbelief as they stared fixedly at the widening cracks in the world-rock walls.
"Lord Feng Chen!" Guard Captain Olon roared, his silver armor already stained crimson with blood.
The Legion Warriors snapped out of their daze, their expressions shifting as they collectively looked up.
Shock, disbelief, anticipation—a maelstrom of emotions surged through them. Yan Le, his face bleeding from all seven orifices, forced his eyes open. In the palace, the petrified figures of Kali and the others widened their frozen eyes, staring at the increasingly fractured world wall high above.
"Polaris - Falling Sun!"
Boom!!
The deep voice and thunderous roar reverberated simultaneously, shaking the entire spiritual world to its core.
The celestial rock wall shattered into fragments as a comet-like meteorite, igniting the atmosphere, plunged from the heavens. It ruthlessly crushed all obstacles in its path, hurtling toward the earth.
Crash!!
In an instant, the azure sky reappeared before their eyes, the shattered fragments of the rock wall dissipating into nothingness.
Beneath the clear sunlight and cloud layer, the meteorite continued its relentless descent, while a figure falling from the sky, silhouetted against the light, materialized before them.
His dark robes billowed in the wind, and black armor covered his entire arm.
The cold, hard features beneath his short black hair reflected in their eyes, leaving Olon, Yan Le, and the Legion Warriors momentarily stunned.
Only when the howling wind swept past, tugging at their hair and rattling their armor, did they snap out of their daze, their faces lighting up with renewed hope.
"We're saved!"
"It's Lord Feng Chen!"
Excited cries erupted as Molly, on the verge of unconsciousness, managed a faint smile.
Sensing their rising hope, the Lava Lord's expression darkened as he recognized the youth descending from the sky.
"It's you."
The youth's appearance matched the vision revealed by the Serpent God perfectly, his aura nearly identical.
Yet.
The brown scales covering the Lava Lord's body tightened, shimmering with an ominous light. He sensed a faint but undeniable danger.
Boom!!
In that instant, the comet-like meteorite that had been hurtling through the sky finally crashed to earth.
The Crimson Gold Flames within it erupted in a circular wave, unleashing a devastating shockwave that tore through the land.
Smoke and dust billowed, and the earth outside the Holy City trembled violently.
Within the kilometer-deep crater, the Serpentfolk and the surrounding rock and soil melted into charred remains and magma-like crimson pools.
The vast Serpentfolk Army was momentarily annihilated, the aftershocks continuing to obliterate straggling Serpentfolk.
"Using the spiritual world to influence reality."
"So, you must be the Lava Lord."
Chen Feng spoke calmly, his Perception sensing the colossal Serpentfolk's immense power—a level comparable to a Lower-Ranking Angel, a peerless existence.
Moreover, this clone possessed the mental world projection ability typically reserved for High-Ranking Angels, making it an exceptionally powerful and unconventional avatar.
"As expected of an Outlander from the star realm," the Lava Lord said coldly, likely having surmised the situation at Heaven's Fall Mountain. "You even managed to break through the Winged Serpent's blood hell barrier. We clearly underestimated you."
Chen Feng offered no denial, his peripheral vision sweeping across the Holy City below.
The shattered, rocky earth was littered with collapsed walls and crumbling structures. The petrified gray palace stood cold and lifeless, while Legion Warriors lay unconscious and near death. The three strongest Legion Commanders were either gravely wounded or petrified, and even the Holy Sword, their ultimate trump card, could no longer be wielded. The situation had clearly reached its nadir.
"Withdraw now, and I will allow you to leave this realm," the Lava Lord suddenly declared, his voice icy, his amber Serpent Eyes glinting with veiled menace.
Yan Le, Olon, and the others exchanged anxious glances, their faces paling as they turned to Chen Feng.
Thud!
Yet there was no response. Chen Feng simply stepped into the void, his black armor rapidly spreading across his body.
The threat posed by the Evil God Angel and the Black Tide extended far beyond a single world.
Once Chen Feng completely dominates the Serpent Spirit Secret Realm, he will naturally have more power to annihilate other worlds, including Earth.
Moreover,
His gaze flickered toward Molly, unconscious in the arms of the Small Stone Statue, and Adams, who had transformed into a humanoid Stone Statue within the Holy City's crater.
He had some goodwill toward the people of the Holy City.
Besides,
[ Divine Awakening Method: Cosmic Blaze - Sun Realm (100%)+ ]
Thanks to the resources of the Heaven's Fall, he had cultivated the Divine Awakening Method to the peak of the Sun Realm.
The subsequent key techniques still required the Holy City's guidance.
Therefore,
Tap!
His foot landed on empty air, and the Azure Armor's black horn rose proudly.
Blood-red cicada wings shimmered with crimson arcs, and his fiberglass eyes locked onto the distant Lava Lord.
"As arrogant as I expected," the Lava Lord's cold, dark voice echoed. He now understood Chen Feng's choice.
Whoosh!
In an instant, a brown light flashed in the Serpent Eyes, and the yellow sand that had dissipated in mid-air began to coalesce again, forming a sky-spanning Giant Python.
Below, the cyclops regained its solid mountain-like body, its stone pillar arms pounding its chest as it roared at Chen Feng high above.
ROAR!!
The earth-shattering roar reverberated like a sonic boom.
The trembling air parted like the sea, and Chen Feng, at the epicenter of the roar, felt as if he were pinned in place by the sonic force.
Boom!!
Instantly, the cyclops leaped into the air, launching a flying collision attack with its mountain-like stone arm.
Simultaneously, hundreds of giant sandstorm pythons, coalesced from dust high above, swooped down like tornadoes, encircling Chen Feng in a deadly vortex.
Whoosh!!!
Yet, a piercing sound shattered the heavens as a platinum beam plummeted from the sky.
The roaring descent created a sonic boom, and the resulting wind pressure crashed down with the force of a collapsing sky, rivaling the earlier meteor strike.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, the giant sandstorm pythons exploded one after another, scattering into yellow sand and stone fragments.
The cyclops, which had leaped hundreds of meters into the air, had its head detonated, sending it crashing back to earth at an even greater velocity.
Boom!!
The earth groaned as a deep crater reappeared.
At the center of the hundred-meter-long fissures radiating outward, the Platinum Colossus brutally stomped the cyclops into the crater. Its towering stone legs, like pillars supporting the heavens, pierced and shattered the giant's body.
The Colossus's silent, majestic stone eyes swept over the surging Serpentfolk Army, the diamond-shaped crystal embedded in its crown gleaming brightly.
"Lower Angel," it declared.
Sensing something was amiss, the Lava Lord's brown serpent eyes flashed with a hint of seriousness.
He attempted to manipulate the earth once more, transforming it into molten lava.
But in an instant—
Whoosh!
A cyan-black light streaked across the sky, and Chen Feng appeared before him.
"Let's see what this so-called clone of yours is capable of."
Buzz!
As his words echoed, the fist he threw erupted with a sonic boom.
Even before it landed, the punch vibrated the air, creating a cone-shaped shockwave that tore through the sky for thousands of meters.
The immense pressure made the Lava Lord feel a hint of strain, forcing the brown scales on his body to glow with molten light.
Boom!!!
Fist met fist. The pride of an angel forbade him from dodging or retreating.
The yellow sand scattered high above disintegrated into ash, not even the smallest particles surviving.
The storm-like shockwave expanded in a circular blast, obliterating the cloud layer above. The Holy City's buildings trembled violently, cracks deepening as if on the verge of collapse.
"Is that all?" Chen Feng asked in a low, condescending tone.
His striking fist met the Lava Lord's brown-scaled, slightly trembling serpent claw.
"Arrogant fool!"
The Lava Lord's Serpent Eyes narrowed, and his scales tightened inch by inch, transforming into the most formidable lava armor.
A brown light flashed across his body, causing his entire form to surge upward and expand, transforming into a three-meter-tall lizardman.
His power surged exponentially, and his control over the earth's lava far surpassed his previous capabilities.
Whoosh!
With a violent tremor of his serpentine claws, he forcefully repelled Chen Feng.
The ground erupted in a whirlwind of sand and dust, which rapidly coalesced in the sky, enveloping Chen Feng's body in a suffocating seal.
Within mere moments, as the Lava Lord clenched his claw into a fist, Chen Feng's body was crushed beneath a massive sphere of rock, which continued to expand into an even larger meteor-like formation.
"凝!"
A murderous glint flashed in the Lava Lord's eyes as the swirling sand and dust in the sky intensified, converging with overwhelming force.
Like a forming meteorite, this construct could seal and crush any living being, causing them to explode from within.
But then...
Boom!!
The comet-like meteor shattered violently, as a pillar of light erupted from the Azure Armor Black Flash's single horn, piercing through heaven and earth.
The figure with the azure-black Azure Armor stood unscathed, the surrounding air trembling violently.
"Is that all you've got?" Chen Feng asked, looking down at the Lava Lord with his crimson Fiberglass eyes.
The Lava Lord's Serpent Eyes narrowed, and his vision suddenly darkened.
The earth began to tremble again, and a sandstorm erupted with violent force.
The Platinum Colossus could also harness the Earth Vein Power, unleashing layers of sand and dust that swept across the battlefield, tearing through the Serpentfolk Army in a one-sided massacre.
But the most crucial point was this:
The Lava Lord hadn't chosen to join forces against Chen Feng.
His mind raced, and the Lava Lord's Serpent Eyes darkened. Far from feeling relieved, a surge of fury rose within him.
"You dare underestimate me?"
He instantly understood Chen Feng's strategy: to defeat him single-handedly.
What arrogance! What utter contempt for the limits of his own power!
Whoosh!
In an instant, the Lava Lord vanished.
He reappeared directly in front of Chen Feng.
His lizard-like body coiled with explosive power, and his clawed fist shattered the air as it struck.
Boom!
Fist met fist. Brown Serpent Eyes locked with crimson Fiberglass eyes.
The moment the shockwave erupted, both figures vanished again, scattering across every corner of the sky and earth.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Deep craters exploded across the ground, while the cloud layer high above shattered violently.
Cone-shaped white trails lingered in the sky for thousands of meters, as streaks of brown and dark green light flashed across the world. The two combatants clashed from the heavens to the earth.
Frozen afterimages hung suspended in the air, but before anyone could discern their forms, rocks shattered and the air exploded.
The already ravaged earth cracked further, and a section of the Holy City collapsed in a thunderous roar.
Crash!
Soon, the brown-scaled figure was sent hurtling through the Holy City's walls, his body slamming parallel to the wilderness below, his vertical pupils burning with shock and fury.
How is this possible?
The Lava Lord struggled to comprehend how he could have lost a direct power clash against a human.
Whoosh!
His answer came in the form of a crimson arc of light.
With a slight flap of his Blood Wings, Chen Feng closed the distance instantly, his right arm descending like a battle-axe.
A closer look revealed Chen Feng's dark green body had become even more streamlined, almost merging with the air itself.
His Blood Wings sliced through all resistance, and his fluid, high-speed movements indicated he had already activated Overlimit State - Speed.
"Sandstorm: Gather!"
Sensing danger, the Lava Lord roared in fury.
A sandstorm erupted, and his earth-bound form rapidly began to fade, as if dissolving into the swirling dust.
But then—
Buzz!
The Gravity Well activated, its crushing pressure causing the air to tremble and space to distort.
The three-meter-tall lizardman's body froze mid-transformation. Chen Feng's gaze turned icy as his axe-like right arm finally swung down.
Boom!!
A shockwave exploded outward, sending a thousand meters of sand swirling into the air.
The Lava Lord, who had braced with both arms, was slammed into the ground.
Rumble!
Dust and smoke billowed skyward in a thunderous roar.
Without hesitation, Chen Feng focused his senses and surveyed the scene from above.
The charged Black Flash erupted from his Azure Armor horn like a laser cannon, piercing straight into the earth.
Whoosh!
The brown-yellow ground was pierced a thousand meters deep, the black flash sweeping through everything like a razor-sharp spear.
The dark rock layers deep beneath the surface were clearly visible, yet there was no sign of blood or scales.
A flicker of realization crossed Chen Feng's mind. Amplifying his Perception, he quickly detected an anomaly.
Looking up, he saw wisps of sand swirling high above, rapidly coalescing back into the Lava Lord's form.
"Die!!"
The icy roar reverberated like the voice of heaven and earth.
The Lava Lord's clone unleashed its full might, once again activating its spiritual world.
Whoosh!
The winds and clouds in the atmosphere reversed violently, plunging the entire world into sudden darkness.
The brown Heavenly Wall reappeared, coalescing high above to crush the sky.
This time, its power far surpassed its previous manifestation, as if all the Origin had been concentrated into a single, world-spanning continental plate.
"This..."
Guard Captain Olon and his men trembled inwardly, their gazes filled with shock as they once again felt the weight of the world pressing down on them.
Their flesh groaned in agony, their bodies shaking uncontrollably.
Even Kali and the petrified figures in the distant Holy City, along with Adams, now a humanoid statue in the deep pit, felt a profound sense of helplessness and despair.
"A miracle!"
"This is a miracle only the power of angels could achieve!"
At the same moment, behind the slaughtering Serpentfolk Army, a sage elder cried out fervently.
They firmly believed that the angels they worshipped could never be defeated. By slaying the vile Outlander, they could then annihilate the Platinum Colossus that had been slaughtering their ranks.
"Lord Lava will surely prevail!"
Boom!!
The Serpentfolk Saint, roaring with fanaticism, shattered into pieces. The platinum fist imprint crashed into the ground, leaving deep fissures and craters.
The Holy Shield Colossus retracted its silent, majestic gaze, ignoring all obstacles as it charged through the Serpentfolk Army like a force of nature, crushing Serpentfolk bodies as if they were mere insects.
In an instant, the Serpentfolk Army was engulfed in screams of agony, blood mist mingling with the swirling desert sand.
High above, the Lava Lord observed the carnage with icy eyes, suppressing his rage and focusing his murderous intent entirely on Chen Feng in the distance.
Boom!!
The brown rock ceiling of the cavern collapsed with a deafening roar, massive slabs plummeting like continental plates.
The air crackled, trembled, and distorted.
The black armor encasing Chen Feng creaked and groaned, while his flesh and blood—as resilient as abyssal rainbow iron—tingled with a searing pain.
This was a pressure far greater than that of a Gravity Well, a projection of power from a complete spiritual world.
As the Star Spirit had explained, the black tide barrier that had once threatened Earth was similar in nature.
While breaking through from the outside was relatively easier, everything trapped within the barrier would be suppressed by its governing rules.
Moreover, the power being wielded now was clearly far stronger than before.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!
In an instant, fissures spread across the desert floor once more, and the ground around the Holy City sank several inches as if pulled down by an invisible force.
The sky, like a continental plate of rock, blotted out all sunlight and azure, plunging the world into a dark brown hue. It continued to descend, gradually approaching within meters of Chen Feng's head.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ground cracked, and the water level in the moat plummeted rapidly, as if compressed into amber-like waves.
Serpentfolk who failed to retreat in time exploded into crimson mist that rained down upon the earth.
The land was stained crimson, and the yellow sand tornadoes were completely extinguished.
Finally, the rocky sky pressed down to within an inch of Chen Feng's head, threatening to crush him into the earth below.
Brownish darkness enveloped the world. The Lava Lord, his arm still pressing down, wore a murderous expression, as if already witnessing his opponent's imminent demise.
Buzz!
But at that moment, a golden pillar of light erupted from Chen Feng's body, soaring skyward.
Boom!
The violent shockwave, akin to the Earth Vein Power itself, unleashed the full force of Chen Feng's Golden Body Qi, like a dormant volcano awakening after centuries of slumber.
The descending rocky sky shuddered violently, as if supported by a golden pillar reaching to the heavens, momentarily halting its descent and freezing in place.
Countless eyes widened in shock, and the people of the Holy City stared in disbelief.
In response, the Lava Lord sneered coldly. "You haven't even mastered the power of the spiritual world, yet you dare to defy me?"
His eyes glowed with intense brown light as he violently jerked his descending serpent claw.
Boom!!
The crushing pressure intensified abruptly, nearly solidifying the air into a viscous, rigid substance.
Everyone felt their breath catch in their throats, every inch of their flesh and blood being squeezed to the point of bursting, as if they were trapped deep within the earth's crust.
Then, with a deafening crack!
A brilliant golden pillar of light erupted skyward, and the world-rock walls of the mental world projection plummeted once more, distorting the air and pinning Chen Feng in place.
"Hahahaha!"
"He's doomed!!"
The Serpentfolk Army roared with renewed fervor. Some Serpentfolk from the Eight Great Tribes had evaded the Holy Shield Colossus's annihilation and now reveled in their vengeful glee.
Within the Holy City, the warriors' hearts clenched with dread. Kali, Adams, and the others gradually emerging from their petrified states paled with worry and despair.
But then...
"Spiritual world power?"
Buzz!!
A deep, resonant hum echoed at the critical moment.
The hundred-meter-tall giant vault phantom finally materialized. Positioned at the giant's heart, Chen Feng's eyes turned icy, and the Azure Armor he wore subtly shifted.
His massive shoulder plates and limbs transformed into Heavenly Pillars as he instantly switched to Overlimit State - Strength!
Boom!!
In that instant, the hundred-meter-tall giant visibly raised its arms and braced against the descending world-rock walls.
The sky trembled, and the earth buckled.
The giant phantom slightly bent its knees, the deep pit beneath its feet widening as cracks spread like veins across the ground, plunging into the earth's crust.
The swirling sand and shockwaves surged anew, causing both the Holy City's inhabitants and the Serpentfolk Army to freeze momentarily, their pupils contracting as they gazed in awe at the heavens.
The deafening clash of the two colossal entities reverberated through the world, shaking the rock walls violently and nearly halting their descent.
"You—"
His face contorted in shock and disbelief, the Lava Lord felt a massive force recoil, forcibly blocking his mental world projection.
Before he could recover, golden, hardened material began rapidly spreading from the giant phantom's heart.
"A mere angel clone."
"Even without my spiritual power, I can still kill you."
Buzz!
The icy words echoed as golden Steel Bones surged forth at blinding speed.
In an instant, the blue light Giant Dome was clad in armor, transforming into a golden God of War who crushed the earth beneath his feet and towered over the clouds.
The Lava Lord's Serpent Eyes narrowed at the sight.
Then, in the next instant—
Boom!!
The vanished Golden Body Qi erupted skyward once more, dyeing the dark brown world gold and establishing its absolute domain.
Everyone in the Holy City and the Serpentfolk Army instinctively froze, as if the very fabric of the world were being compressed and torn apart, colliding with itself.
Countless awestruck gazes converged on the scene.
The golden giant moved with agonizing slowness, bending its knees to rise.
With each step, fissures raced across the earth, deeper layers of rock shattering in succession.
Yet, against all odds, its God of War-like golden body.
Bore the weight of an entire world, lifting the sky-high rock walls like continental plates inch by inch, raising its colossal form!
Until finally, within trembling sight.
The golden giant stood erect, towering proudly, its body piercing through the cloud layer to prop up a new sky.
Shocked gazes filled the air, and even the Lava Lord's expression darkened.
In response,
Crack!
The giant's golden fists clenched violently, causing the air to explode.
Amidst the earth-shattering pressure, Chen Feng, positioned at the giant's heart, glared coldly at the heavens, his own fists clenching in perfect synchronization.
Boom!!!
