Chapter 167 Dimensional Reduction Slaughter and the True Body of Heavenly Secrets
The air on the martial arts stage felt as if it had been filled with molten lead, so heavy that it was hard to breathe.
William ignored the blood on the back of his hand, gripping the black tablet terminal tightly. A flicker of panic crossed his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by madness.
This was completely beyond the S.H.I.E.L.D.'s predictive models. There was no transportation involved, no residual heat signature from high-speed flight. This Chinese man had simply traversed thousands of kilometers and appeared directly above them!
"Lu Yuan!"
William tilted his head back, veins bulging on his forehead, and roared hysterically.
"You really think you're a god?! Look at what I have in my hand! With just a flick of my finger, tens of millions of people along the East China Sea coast will be buried with you!"
William hovered his thumb over the red detonation button.
"Now! Get down right now! Kneel in front of these coffins! Otherwise, we'll all die!"
Lu Yuan stepped through the void, slowly descending the steps. His movements were casual, as if he were taking a stroll on his own staircase.
"Try pressing it."
Lu Yuan landed on a coffin made of golden nanmu wood, his hands in the pockets of his down jacket, and calmly looked at William.
William's facial muscles twitched violently. He had only intended to use the terminal to force Lu Yuan to back down, but he hadn't expected the other man to show even the slightest bit of fear in his eyes. That look, as if he were looking at a dead man, completely pierced his pride.
"You forced me to do this!"
William let out a beastly roar and slammed his thumb down on the red detonation button.
One second. Two seconds. Three seconds.
On the tablet screen, the twelve red dots representing the status of the dirty bombs remained unchanged. The expected detonation confirmation countdown from the system did not appear.
William frantically tapped the screen repeatedly, even punching the terminal.
"What's going on! Why is there no signal!"
"Because your so-called modern technology is nothing more than a broken toy in my eyes."
Lu Yuan jumped off the coffin lid.
The instant he stepped out of the spatial rift, his Mahayana-stage divine sense had already enveloped the entire capital city. He forcibly stripped all electronic signal bands within a hundred miles of physical space, crushing them all into nothingness. The terminal in William's hand was now less valuable than a single-player game console.
Kill him! Kill him right now!
William finally broke down, pointing at Lu Yuan and shouting wildly.
Upon receiving the order, the twelve S-class mutants unleashed their powerful strides, creating twelve deep craters in the white marble floor. Twelve enormous, dark blue bodies, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound, surged towards Lu Yuan from all directions.
They moved incredibly fast, leaving only a trail of afterimages in the air. The surface of their fists, made of polyethylene alloy, even emitted a high-temperature red glow due to the high-speed friction with the air.
Lu Yuan stood still, not even taking his hands out of his pockets.
The first mutant rushed in front of Lu Yuan, its huge fist aimed at Lu Yuan's head.
Lu Yuan tilted his head slightly.
The fist grazed his ear and missed. The high-pressure airflow carved a deep trench in the ground.
Before the mutant could retract its arm...
Lu Yuan raised his right leg and delivered an extremely ordinary side kick, striking the mutant's knee joint directly.
Click!
A crisp sound of metal snapping echoed throughout the arena. The ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene alloy skeleton, touted as being able to withstand armor-piercing bullets, was as brittle as a withered twig in front of Lu Yuan's kick.
The mutant's massive body lost its balance and fell forward.
Lu Yuan's right foot landed smoothly, the sole of his shoe slamming heavily onto the back of the mutant's head.
boom!
The dark blue scales, the hard skull, and the mixed brain tissue of deep-sea creatures inside were crushed into a pulp by this one stomp. Blood flowed out along the cracks in the white marble.
The ultimate biological weapon, costing three billion US dollars and feared by special departments of various countries, did not last even a second under Lu Yuan's feet.
The remaining eleven mutants showed no fear whatsoever and continued to charge forward relentlessly.
Lu Yuan finally took his hand out of his pocket.
He didn't use any fancy moves. Just extremely simple punches, palm strikes, and hand chopes.
But every movement carries the terrifying quality of a peak Mahayana stage physical body crushing everything.
A punch landed squarely on the second mutant's chest. The bulletproof scales and alloy ribs exploded instantly, and his heart was blasted into a bloody mist by the violent, hidden force.
He chopped the third mutant in the neck. The massive head detached from the body, flying dozens of meters away and smashing a searchlight.
Less than half a minute.
The twelve S-class mutants were reduced to a pile of mangled limbs and scrap metal. Not a single corpse was intact.
The entire hall fell silent. Only William's heavy breathing could be heard.
William collapsed to the ground with a thud. The tablet he was holding slipped from his grasp. He stared at the carnage scattered on the floor, his mind completely blank.
This is not a battle at all. This is a one-sided physical slaughterhouse.
Lu Yuan shook the blood off his hands, his gaze passing over the limp William and landing on Zhang Chongyang, who hadn't made a move yet.
"The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion has a good plan."
Lu Yuan walked step by step toward the mahogany armchair.
"Let those idiots from the S.H.I.E.L.D. take the brunt of the chaos. Set up a Yin-gathering array with thirteen coffins on the martial arts platform. You're sitting here, not waiting for me at all."
Zhang Chongyang's expression finally changed. He took two steps back abruptly, clutching the tortoise shell on his chest tightly with his hand.
"You...you noticed?"
"The sealed branch of the spiritual vein beneath the capital is located directly beneath the martial arts arena."
Lu Yuan stopped three meters in front of Zhang Chongyang.
"The demon skeleton in Antarctica is just a decoy. Its slow movement in the sea is a diversionary tactic to draw the attention of the Chinese government to the East China Sea. Your true objective is to use these thirteen coffins to collect the resentment of martial artists accumulated over the past century, forcibly break the underground seal, and summon the true form of the Sirius Star Region."
Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Chongyang.
"The other half of that bronze piece from the car accident scene is with you, isn't it?"
Zhang Chongyang took a deep breath. He knew that things wouldn't end well today.
"Lu Yuan, you are indeed an anomaly. Even the Heavenly Wolf Sect Master underestimated you, possessing the cultivation of the Great Ascension stage."
Zhang Chongyang suddenly ripped open his tattered Taoist robe.
His chest was devoid of flesh and blood. Only a piece of jet-black tortoise shell was embedded between his ribs. The tortoise shell was covered with dense, blood-red array patterns. Those patterns were pulsating like a heart, greedily absorbing the life force of the mutants scattered on the ground.
"But you're too late! The seal on the underground branch has already loosened! As long as I sacrifice this body, the teleportation array can be activated immediately!"
Zhang Chongyang formed hand seals, preparing to detonate the tortoise shell on his chest.
Lu Yuan sneered.
He didn't give Zhang Chongyang any time to form hand seals. He stomped his right foot hard on the ground.
The entire martial arts platform shook violently. The stone slab beneath Zhang Chongyang's feet shattered instantly. A massive, invisible suction force pulled Zhang Chongyang directly towards Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan grabbed Zhang Chongyang by the neck with one hand and lifted him up like a chick.
"You think you deserve to die, trying to self-destruct in front of me?"
Lu Yuan clenched his five fingers. His Mahayana stage divine sense transformed into countless sharp steel needles, brutally piercing into Zhang Chongyang's sea of consciousness.
Soul-searching technique.
Zhang Chongyang let out a piercing scream, his eyes instantly turning bloodshot.
A flood of fragmented memories rushed into Lu Yuan's mind.
He saw the Sirius Starfield tablet enshrined in the secret chamber of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. He saw the continuous stream of living human blood offerings transported by the Shield Consortium. He saw the underground spiritual vein, polluted and blackened, beneath the ruins of the capital's Heavenly Prison.
In the deepest recesses of his memory, Lu Yuan saw a massive bronze door.
The door was inlaid with another half of a mysterious bronze plate. From the crack in the door, extremely pure Yin energy from the cultivation world was seeping out.
Click.
Zhang Chongyang's cerebral cortex was completely smoothed out by Lu Yuan's divine sense, and his brain matter was evaporated by the high temperature inside his skull. His body slumped down limply.
Lu Yuan reached out and dug out the black tortoise shell from Zhang Chongyang's chest, tossing it into his storage ring. Then, he casually tossed Zhang Chongyang's corpse into the first golden nanmu coffin.
He turned his head and looked at William, who was slumped on the ground.
William was so frightened that he scrambled backward, his crotch soaked.
"Don't kill me... I have tens of billions of dollars in my account... I can give you control of the S.H.I.E.L.D. conglomerate..."
Lu Yuan walked over and grabbed William's head with one hand.
"My sister wants to apply to a good university. Your few dollars can't buy her an acceptance letter."
Lu Yuan exerted force with his wrist.
A sharp crack echoed from William's neck as his head was twisted off. Blood gushed from his carotid artery and splattered onto the black coffin lid.
Lu Yuan stuffed William's head into the second coffin.
He raised his head and looked in the direction of the capital city.
In his Mahayana-stage divine sense, the black spiritual vein beneath the capital city was emitting a faint vibration. This was a sign that the interdimensional teleportation array was about to be fully formed.
Meanwhile, deep within his consciousness, the black chain representing the Heavenly Dao Life-Stealing Curse emitted a cold, grinding sound.
"Trying to go big, huh?"
Lu Yuan shook off the blood beads on his hands and walked off the martial arts stage as the first rays of dawn broke over the capital.
"I'll go underground and dig up all your ancestral graves."
