Chapter 150 The Bronze Door Arm Arrives Ahead of Schedule
Late the next night.
Longyuan City was not truly asleep.
The countdown to the main star gate ends in less than two days.
The outer defensive line of the Zhenxing Army was lit up all night, with silver-white array lights shooting into the sky from the star-patterned towers, like countless pillars supporting the night sky.
The starship hovered below the main star gate.
The silver-black star array spread out from both sides of the ship, intertwining with the local defensive array of Longyuan City to form a giant net.
The Elders Council's Marquis-level combatants are distributed across the four nodes.
The combat readiness teams drawn from the four major families have all entered the designated areas.
Everyone is waiting.
The main gate will open in three days.
But what was behind the door clearly wasn't going to wait until three days later.
It was just past midnight.
Deep within the main star gate, the dark blue second anchor suddenly flickered violently.
At first, only the compass of the Stargate Observatory emitted a rapid buzzing sound.
Subsequently, all the energy source arrays on the outer ring defense line simultaneously collapsed.
It felt like something extremely heavy was pressing down from behind the door.
Top floor of the Stargate Observatory.
The white-haired mentor suddenly looked up.
"The stability of the second anchor has increased abnormally!"
"Sixty percent!"
"63%!"
"65%!"
"It's pulling the projection forward!"
An observer turned pale:
"Didn't they say the main gate wouldn't open until three days later?"
The white-haired mentor stared intently at the compass, his voice hoarse:
"The main gate is not open."
"That doesn't mean it can't reach in first."
The voice just fell.
A deep, muffled roar came from the depths of the main star gate rift in the sky.
boom--
The entire city of Longyuan seemed to be shaken by the loud noise.
Countless people were jolted awake from their beds.
In the university dormitory area, one after another, the lights are turned on.
Ordinary residents, hiding in underground refuge areas, turned pale instantly upon hearing the muffled thud overhead.
On the outer ring of the Zhenxing Army's defense line, all the soldiers looked up at the same time.
Deep within the main star gate, the bronze gatekeeper who had been standing silently for so long slowly raised one hand.
Its entire body remains behind the door.
But that hand passed through the dark blue anchor.
First, the fingertips.
Then comes the palm.
Then there is a bronze forearm covered with door patterns.
huge.
Icy.
ancient.
That's not a flesh and blood arm.
It looks more like the limbs behind the door, pieced together from individual bronze door panels.
The arm armor was covered with rusted patterns, and a faint blue light flowed within each rust mark.
In the center of the palm, a huge, dark blue portal slowly opened.
The moment that eye of the gate opened, all the array lights on the north side of Longyuan City dimmed for a split second.
"Bronze door arm!"
"It projected ahead of time!"
"Target direction—"
The observatory's compass vibrated violently.
The next moment, everyone's expression changed.
Because the giant bronze arm did not reach for the Zhenxing Army's main fortress.
They did not grab the star cruiser.
They did not attack the main star gate defenses immediately.
Its direction is towards the Starry Courtyard.
It wants to capture Lin Xiaoya.
……
Starry Courtyard.
Lin Xiaoya suddenly woke up from her sleep.
The white lock pattern on her forehead lit up intensely.
It wasn't her who initiated it.
Rather, it was the lock that seemed to be forcibly disturbed by some enormous force from behind a door in the sky.
She sat on the bed, her face turning deathly pale in an instant.
In the dream, a giant bronze hand descended, blotting out the sky.
The eye in the palm slowly opened.
All the light was swallowed up by that eye.
Lin Xiaoya was breathing rapidly, her fingers gripping the corner of the blanket tightly.
"elder brother……"
in the courtyard.
Lin Yuan had already looked up.
Above the sky, the bronze gate arm passes through the second anchor of the main star gate and is slowly pressing down on Longyuan City.
That aura was far stronger than that of the doorworm.
It is even heavier than the remaining bones of the White Pagoda.
It is even more suitable for pushing the compression times than the residual energy at the edge of the sect leader's first wisp of will.
The system prompt appeared silently.
[Bronze door arm projection detected]
[Current Strength: Late Stage Peak of the Marquis Rank]
[Short-term fluctuations: Close to achieving the top spot]
[Target: The Cleanser Locks the Door Seal]
If the process of absorption and refinement is successful, it can significantly boost the node by 800,000 times.
Lin Yuan looked at the colossal bronze arm that blotted out the sky, and his expression finally changed slightly.
It's not fear.
It is a judgment.
"That's fine."
……
Zhenxing Army Main Fortress.
Zhou Xuanheng immediately took to the air.
The silver-black star-patterned robe fluttered in the night wind.
Behind him, the Star Law Domain suddenly unfolded.
Countless silver-black lines spread out from beneath his feet, like a giant stargate net, covering the area below the main stargate.
"Star Guardian!"
"The Star-Seal Formation!"
The twelve Star Guardians took off simultaneously.
The array plate lit up.
The silver and black rays intertwined and quickly condensed into a huge, regular array in mid-air.
Zhou Xuanheng raised his hand and pressed his five fingers upwards.
The Star Law Marquis Domain and the Star Patrol Ship formation simultaneously connected.
boom--
The silver-black net directly entangled the giant bronze arm that had reached into reality.
At first, the effect was extremely obvious.
The bronze giant arm suddenly slowed its downward movement.
The dark blue patterns on the surface of the arm armor were cut by the star-shaped lines, producing a harsh friction sound.
The main gun of the star cruiser lit up.
A beam of silver-black light slammed into the palm of the bronze giant arm.
boom!
The dark blue doorway closed slightly.
On the surface of the giant arm, dozens of door patterns were shaken and dimmed.
On the outer defensive line, everyone's spirits lifted.
"It's under control!"
"The Star Patrol Envoy has made his move!"
"The later stages of being granted a title are indeed different!"
"The Star Law Domain can suppress the pollution behind the gate!"
On the high-rise buildings in the new student area.
Countless students watched this scene from afar, their hearts deeply moved.
Their impression of Zhou Xuanheng was complicated.
Especially after several conflicts between the General Administration and Lin Yuan and his sister, many people felt that this Star Patrol Envoy was too domineering.
But at this moment, seeing him step into the air alone, with the Star Law Marquis Domain pressing down on the bronze gate arm, everyone truly realized the weight of the late stage of the Marquis title.
He is indeed strong.
He is far more stable, more accomplished, and more like a Star Gate Warrior cultivated by the General Administration system than Qin Xuanxiao.
Song Li gripped the railing tightly in nervousness.
"Can he stop it?"
Ji Qinghe gazed at the sky, her expression still grave.
"It looks like it is."
"But that was just one of the bronze goalkeeper's hands."
These words caused Song Li's newly formed sense of relief to sink back down.
Ning Wushuang stood on another tall building, her fingers gripping the sword slightly.
Chu Tianheng also said in a deep voice:
Don't relax too soon.
"The bronze goalkeeper hasn't really unleashed his full potential yet."
……
midair.
Zhou Xuanheng did indeed gain the upper hand.
After the Star Law Domain was deployed, every downward trajectory of the bronze giant arm was cut, restricted, and corrected by the silver and black regular lines.
This is the power of the Star Gate General Headquarters.
It's not just brute force.
Instead, they use rules to suppress rules.
Use the standardized array law of the stargate system to restrict the projection behind the gate.
Zhou Xuanheng's eyes were calm, and his voice carried throughout the outer defense line:
"Attack the palm's eye."
"It is the core of this projection."
The second main gun of the star cruiser fired.
The Zhenxing Army's star-patterned turrets adjusted their angles simultaneously.
Dozens of silvery-white beams shot into the sky, all blasting towards the palm of the bronze giant arm.
Boom boom boom boom boom!
The palm of his hand vibrated continuously.
The eerie blue light was suppressed and dimmed further.
The bronze giant arm pressed down at a slower and slower speed.
There was even a faint tendency for them to be pushed back into the depths of the main star gate by the Star Law Array.
The elders watched from a distance, their expressions softening slightly.
"Zhou Xuanheng is indeed very capable."
"If it were just this one goal arm, perhaps we could have pushed it back down."
"The Grand Marshal's Star Patrol Envoy is, after all, a late-stage Marquis."
Qin Guanlan stood atop the Qin family's tall building, watching the same scene unfold.
Behind him, Qin Zhu slowly said:
"Zhou Xuanheng is not weak."
Qin Guanlan nodded.
"He is certainly not weak."
"only……"
He looked at the peephole in the palm of the bronze giant arm, which was slowly opening.
"The thing behind the door hasn't really put in its full effort yet."
The voice just fell.
Above the sky, the palm-shaped eye that had been constantly suppressed by the Star Law Cannon light suddenly opened completely.
The deep blue light no longer emanated outwards.
Instead, it contracts inward.
Like an eyeball, it sank into the deeper parts in an instant.
Then, a deep, ancient, and cold voice came from the depths of the main star gate.
"Star Laws".
"The rules of the old gatekeepers."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuanheng's expression changed for the first time.
A former servant?
The General Administration's Star Law System, which exists behind the gate, is actually referred to as the old gatekeeper's rules.
Before he could think further, the bronze giant arm suddenly flipped its palm.
A dark blue light suddenly surged from the inner eye of his palm.
The silver and black star-shaped lines that were wrapped around the giant arm were suddenly grasped in reverse.
Click.
The first star law rule line broke.
Next, the second piece.
The third film.
The bronze giant arm slowly closed its five fingers.
It's like holding a fragile net.
boom!
The vast network of laws and regulations was forcibly crushed.
Zhou Xuanheng's body trembled.
A blank space appeared in the Star Law Marquis's domain.
The star cruiser formation also trembled.
"How is that possible?"
One of the star patrol guards turned pale.
"The Star Law Array has been countered!"
Zhou Xuanheng's gaze darkened completely.
He finally felt that the strength of the bronze door arm was increasing.
He was originally at the peak of the late stage of being granted the title of Marquis.
However, once the palm-shaped eye fully opened, its projection level briefly began to approach that of a half-step king.
Not complete.
It's also unstable.
But it was enough to crush the Star Law Marquis's domain.
The bronze giant arm continued to press down.
The goal remains the Starry Courtyard.
Zhou Xuanheng raised his hand to form a hand seal.
"Star Law, Ninefold Lock!"
Nine silver and black halos rose up from behind him.
One link leads to another, forcibly locking onto the bronze giant arm.
At the same time, Zhenxinghou drew his sword and charged forward.
A black blade of light swept across the night sky, slashing towards the elbow of the bronze door arm.
boom!
The blade struck the bronze arm armor, creating a huge crack.
There was no blood in the crack.
Only a pale blue light flowed.
The next moment, the crack was stitched back together by the door pattern.
Marquis Zhenxing's face darkened.
"The recovery was too fast."
Zhou Xuanheng said coldly:
"Attack the palm's eye!"
The two of them took action at the same time.
The Ninefold Star Law Lock bound the bronze giant arm.
Zhenxinghou slashed at the palm of his hand.
But the bronze giant arm spread its five fingers, and the eye in its palm suddenly turned.
A dark blue shockwave swept out.
boom--
Zhou Xuanheng's Star Law Ninefold Lock broke threefold.
The light from Zhenxing Hou's sword was deflected by the shock.
Both powerful figures who had been granted the title of Marquis retreated dozens of feet at the same time.
The entire city of Longyuan fell silent once more.
The person who had just thought the Star Chaser could hold down the door arm was now losing color in his face little by little.
In the later period after being granted the title of Marquis, he served as a star-patrol envoy.
In addition, there was Zhenxinghou.
They still couldn't hold back the prematurely arriving goal arm.
And that was just a hand.
What if the bronze gate were to descend in its entirety?
What if it really gets close to becoming a king in a short period of time?
The moment this thought crossed their minds, many people's backs were soaked with cold sweat.
……
Starry Courtyard.
Lin Xiaoya had already gotten out of bed and was standing behind Lin Yuan.
The white lines on her forehead kept flashing, and her face was pale.
With each inch the bronze door arm pressed down, she felt the hand in her dream get a little closer.
The palm of my hand is looking for her.
I want to see her.
I want to catch her.
She whispered:
"Brother, it's coming."
Lin Yuan looked up at the sky.
"Um."
"Can't Zhou Xunxing and Zhenxing Hou stop them?"
"It won't last long."
Lin Xiaoya pursed her lips.
She didn't know what she could do.
Her current door-locking seal is too weak; even Shinji's seal can only lock it for a moment.
Not to mention this giant bronze arm.
Lin Yuan seemed to know what she was thinking and said calmly:
"You don't need to lock it now."
Lin Xiaoya was taken aback.
Lin Yuan continued to look at the bronze door arm.
It is being held back by Zhou Xuanheng and Zhenxinghou.
The eye in the palm opened again and again.
Each time it opened its eyes, it brought out an even stronger residual energy from behind the door.
This distance isn't even the closest.
But that's enough to give it a try.
The system notification still appeared in front of me.
[Core of the Bronze Door Arm Projection: Palm-Sized Door Eye]
[If one absorbs and refines a portion of the core's residual energy, it can significantly accelerate the physical compression of Qi and blood.]
Lin Yuan raised his hand.
A wisp of dark golden blood energy appeared at the fingertips.
Very fine.
The bloodline was thinner than when the Star Law Observation Array was shattered previously.
This time, he did not reveal himself directly.
Instead, it allowed that wisp of dark golden blood to flow in the opposite direction of the main star gate's tide, silently disappearing into the night sky.
It did not travel in a straight line.
Instead, it used the fluctuations of the silvery-white source tide and the dark blue two anchors to gradually approach the palm of the bronze gate arm.
midair.
Zhou Xuanheng was suppressing the bronze door arm with all his might when he suddenly felt a very subtle dark gold fluctuation.
His eyes flickered.
"Blood face?"
His first reaction was still that the Blood-Faced Ancient Cultivator had secretly made a move.
But the next instant, the fluctuation disappeared into the main star gate tide.
Even his stellar perception couldn't lock onto it.
Marquis Zhenxing seemed to sense something as well, his eyes flickered slightly, but he remained silent.
Gu Changye stood atop the black tower, gazing into the distance towards the Starry Courtyard.
He smiled.
"They're here."
The subordinate was puzzled:
"Sir, who's here?"
Gu Changye said:
"Food."
……
Above the sky.
The bronze door arm's palm-shaped opening once more.
It was preparing to unleash the next wave of azure shock, forcefully crushing Zhou Xuanheng's Star Law Domain.
But in that very instant...
A wisp of dark golden blood energy silently fell into the palm of his hand at the edge of the eye, following the gap in the tide.
The dark blue eye suddenly paused slightly.
The pause was extremely short.
Less than half a breath.
However, this action of the bronze giant arm pressing down revealed a slight flaw.
Zhou Xuanheng immediately seized the opportunity.
The Star Law Domain tightened again, and the Ninefold Lock once more bound the giant arm.
With a single slash, Zhenxinghou cleaved the arm armor, creating an even deeper crack.
Everyone outside thought that this was the result of Zhou Xuanheng and Zhenxing Hou working together.
Only a very few people realized that the real reason the bronze door arm stopped was not because of them.
In the small courtyard of the Star Kingdom.
Lin Yuan looked at the palm-shaped eye.
The Extreme Dao Star Furnace within his body slowly accelerated.
He whispered:
"It tastes good."
"Next bite."
"It can be bigger."
