Grand Duke Valerius's physical body fell face-down onto the flagship deck, blood pooling around his silk cape as he died permanently.With its commanding officer executed, the hundred-foot flagship lost its anti-gravity engine balance.The flagship plummeted two hundred feet through empty air, crashing into the central city square below and detonating its fuel stores."Grand Duke Valerius has been executed upon his own flagship deck!" a rebel warrior announced from the city square.Suddenly, the toxic green sky above Aethelgard transformed into a deep, blood-red color across a fifty-mile radius.A massive fifty-foot crimson spatial projection of the Void Emperor—the supreme ruler of the Upper Realm—materialized in the clouds above the capital.The projection radiated twenty thousand pounds of physical aura pressure, forcing every rebel and guard on the capital streets to pause their physical movements.Looking down at Lin Feng's position on the crumbling ridge, the Void Emperor's crim

Lin Feng reversed his grip on the leather-wrapped hilt, driving the purified steel tip of his blade straight down into the eight-millimeter anatomical gap. He transferred ten thousand pounds of concentrated spinal kinetic force alongside three thousand four hundred hertz of spatial Divine Sword Qi into the cranial nerve junction.The spatial resonance wave flooded the creature's central nervous system, destroying the internal Star-Core thermal core within zero-point-one seconds. The Magma Leviathan's six thermal eyes extinguished instantly, and its hundred-foot physical body collapsed uselessly into the boiling lava lake."The guardian beast's biological energy has been completely terminated," Lin Feng noted as he used the collapsing skull as a stepping platform to execute a secondary spatial leap toward the central stone pedestal.Landing smoothly upon the central stone pedestal in the middle of the lava lake, Lin Feng extended his left hand toward the hovering dark meteor steel frag

Lin Feng held the communicator array close to his lips. "Anchor your vanguard troops to the outer basalt ridge using heavy iron tether cables immediately, because this event horizon will expand its radius by twenty feet within the next fifteen seconds."Clinging to a cracked basalt formation three hundred feet behind the ridge, a rebel lieutenant shouted to his unit. "Secure all heavy iron tethers to the granite bedrock and brace against fifty thousand pounds of gravitational pull!"Rebel warriors hammered iron stakes into the rock face with desperate speed.Kaelia secured her dual-barreled plasma repeater to her leather harness.She drove a heavy iron piton into the granite rock face with four hundred pounds of physical force. "Our iron tethers are bending under fifty thousand pounds of suction force, so you must seal that event horizon before the bedrock fractures completely!"Lin Feng adjusted his stance on the vibrating obsidian ledge. "Your iron tethers will hold for thirty secon

Xiao Ling drew her brass communication dial from her belt. "My security wing will establish patrol vectors along the four spatial anchor pillars to secure the transit corridor."Lin Feng stepped away from the central portal, turning his body toward the northern horizon. "The security vectors must extend across a fifty-mile radius around this volcanic sector."Before Sect Master Ye Cang could assign the patrol commanders, an intense kinetic whistling sound echoed from the upper atmosphere.Descending through three thousand feet of green cloud cover, a metallic object fell toward the ridge at a movement velocity of four hundred feet per second.The metallic object struck the obsidian floorboards ten feet ahead of Lin Feng's boots.The kinetic impact delivered five thousand pounds of physical force, embedding the object six inches deep into the solid stone.Forged from dense, high-purity primordial star-metal, the object measured three inches in diameter and featured a hexagonal geometri

Lin Feng unstrapped the 100% restored Dimension Severing Sword from his right shoulder, gripping the leather hilt with both hands. His twelve unlocked spinal vertebrae hummed at ten thousand hertz, illuminating his posture in brilliant silver and golden Cosmic Divine Sword Qi as the planetary defense beam prepared to fire.Descending at a movement velocity of four hundred feet per second, the hundred-foot-wide cosmic energy beam targeted the star-metal warship directly.The planetary defense array of the galaxy-sized floating continent generated fifty thousand pounds of physical aura pressure behind the beam.Carrying an internal thermal core of twenty thousand degrees Celsius, the energy wave evaporated the ambient cosmic stardust across the entire flight corridor.Lin Feng grounded his leather soles onto the bow platform of his commandeered warship."A fifty-thousand-pound cosmic energy beam requires a precise vertical bisection to neutralize its descending thermal mass," Lin Feng s
