Chapter 166 Devouring Generals and Destroying Anchors, 999,000
The moment the bronze seal was pulled out.
The entire bronze gatekeeper froze completely.
The dark blue patterns that had been burning on its chest went out one by one.
First came the breastplate.
Then come the shoulder armor, arms, waist and abdomen, and legs.
The patterns that once ran through the entire goalkeeper projection, allowing it to continuously recover with the help of the second anchor, now dried up rapidly, like a river that had lost its source.
Click.
In the center of the bronze mask, the vertical crack in the doorway has split open.
The first crack points to the left.
The second crack points to the right.
In the blink of an eye, countless cracks spread across the entire mask.
The bronze gatekeeper lowered his head.
Like an ancient statue whose soul has been taken away.
But it is not dead yet.
Although the original seal was pulled out, the last trace of the goalkeeper's will still remain inside it.
That wisp of will was frantically assaulting Lin Yuan's palm.
A ghostly blue flame rose along the edge of the seal, transforming into a blurry bronze face.
"The Gate Swallower!"
"Return to the origin!"
The sound faded.
The shattered seal suddenly collapsed inward.
It wasn't trying to escape.
Instead, he wanted to destroy himself.
If the essence of a goalkeeper who once briefly stepped into the King Projection level were to explode completely at such close range, its power would be no less than the self-destruction of the bronze halberd.
Even heavier.
Because this seal contains more than just the original essence of the bronze gatekeeper.
There is also a second anchor remnant that has been integrated into it.
On the outer ring battlefield.
Zhou Xuanheng noticed the abnormality immediately.
"It's going to blow up the general's seal!"
"Everyone, leave!"
Marquis Zhenxing stood with his sword drawn, blocking the main outer ring formation.
Qin Zhu also instantly unfurled the Mountain and River Candle Seal.
On the star cruiser, layer upon layer of silver-black star law barriers rose again.
But they all knew.
The distance is too close.
Lin Yuan's eight hands were currently gripping the self-destructing Origin General Seal.
If the seal is blown open.
He will bear the brunt of the impact.
The eight arms of Blood Shadow tightened simultaneously, locking the bronze gate and the mangled body firmly in place.
It did not shield the body.
Because it can't be stopped.
They did not take away the general's seal.
Because it is not needed.
Lin Yuan looked at the shattered general's seal that was shaking wildly in his palm.
The Ultimate Star Soul unfolded instantly.
In the dark gold starry sky, all the door patterns inside the seal appeared simultaneously.
There are a total of 963 original gate patterns.
More than 700 of them have broken.
The remaining two hundred or so lines were collapsing madly towards the deepest part of the seal.
As long as they come together at one point.
Self-destruction will then be completed.
"Want to blow it up?"
Lin Yuan closed his eight arms.
Four palms pressed down on the outer layer of the seal.
The other four hands pierced directly into the crack in the seal.
The dark gold fingers passed through the ghostly blue flames and gripped the collapsing primordial gate pattern inside.
The bronze gatekeeper roared in despair:
"You can't control it!"
"I will guard this gate for life!"
"The source returns to its origin; foreign tribes must not be swallowed up!"
Lin Yuan remained calm.
"You have guarded the gate your entire life."
"In the end, it was eaten by the door."
The words fell.
All eight arms exert force simultaneously.
It's not about crushing the general's seal.
Instead, it forcibly tore apart the more than two hundred primordial gate patterns that were gathering inside in eight directions.
Stab it--!
Inside the dark blue seal, it was as if a large net had been forcibly torn apart.
All the original gate patterns that were about to collapse simultaneously lost their connection.
The self-destruct was interrupted.
The bronze gatekeeper's resentful roar abruptly ceased.
"No……"
Lin Yuan's chest.
The Ultimate Star Furnace opened with a roar.
The dark gold devouring power flowed along the eight arms, completely enveloping the Origin General Seal.
peel off.
Crush.
Swallowing and refining.
[Contact with the bronze gatekeeper will shatter the original seal]
[Second anchor remnant detected]
[Incomplete rules for the King's Gate Shadow Detected]
[In the process of stripping away the sect leader's mark]
[Physical compression of Qi and blood is underway]
The source will be violently shaken.
Streaks of dark blue flames attempted to break through the seal of dark gold blood energy.
But every wisp that manages to escape is burned by the karmic fire of the Pure Red Lotus.
Crimson lotus flames entwined around the seal.
Dark blue and blood red tore at each other.
Finally, the ghostly blue flames dimmed little by little.
The outermost layer of the seal began to disintegrate.
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 976000]
A piece of bronze has broken off.
It transformed into the purest residual energy behind the door and was dragged into the Extreme Dao Star Furnace.
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 981000]
The second anchor remnant began to break apart.
In the starry sky of Lin Yuan's divine soul, the complete trajectory belonging to the second anchor gradually lit up.
It was a dark blue door stud that connected reality with the main gate.
One end of the door nail is stuck into the main gate of Longyuan Star.
At the other end, it connects to the depths of countless black doors.
now.
The door nail is breaking in the middle.
……
in reality.
The second anchor body deep within the main star gate suddenly emitted a sharp sound.
A through crack appeared on the surface of the dark blue anchor that was originally tightly bound by Zhou Xuanheng's Star Law Chains.
The white-haired observation instructor stared at the compass, his voice changing.
"The second anchor core has collapsed!"
"Stability has plummeted!"
"Seventy percent!"
"Fifty percent!"
"Thirty percent!"
"The main gate is losing its real-world coordinates!"
Zhou Xuanheng suddenly looked up.
"All Star Law Arrays, lock down the anchor point fragments!"
"Don't let a single piece fall through the crack in the door again!"
The twelve patrolling star guards simultaneously activated the array plate.
Silver and black chains pierced through the main star gate tides, pinning the shattered second anchor firmly to the void.
Marquis Zhenxing immediately issued an order:
"Main guns focus fire!"
"Smash all the dark blue anchor patterns!"
The remaining heavy artillery of the Zhenxing Army lit up simultaneously.
Boom boom boom!
The silvery-white beams struck the second anchor in succession.
The already cracked anchor could no longer withstand the pressure.
It exploded with a bang!
Hundreds of dark blue anchor pieces flew in all directions.
Blood Shadow's soul core throbbed violently in his chest.
Boom!
It still held the bronze gatekeeper's remains locked with one hand.
The other seven arms opened at the same time.
Dark gold energy spread out like a net, directly covering the entire outer ring of the main star gate.
Those fragments of the second anchor, which were locked by the laws of the stars and blasted apart by heavy artillery, were all drawn in by the dark gold blood energy before they even fell.
They converged on Lin Yuan.
Zhou Xuanheng saw this but did not stop it.
Instead, it proactively loosened some of the star-law chains.
"Make him swallow it!"
The deputy envoy of the star patrol was startled.
Previously, Zhou Xuanheng had also wanted to investigate and restrict Lin Yuan.
And now.
He personally secured the anchor plate for Lin Yuan and then delivered it to him.
Because everyone already understands.
If the second anchor fragment remains, it may once again become the coordinates that the sect leader uses to anchor himself into reality in the future.
But it was swallowed by Lin Yuan.
And that's really it.
……
A vast expanse of deep blue anchor pieces converged to form a river.
Lin Yuan spread out his eight arms.
Behind him, the hundred-foot-tall Brahma Dharma Image of Annihilation also spread its eight arms.
All the anchor pieces were enveloped in dark gold blood and blood-red lotus fire.
The tiny mark left by the sect leader in the anchor plate had just appeared when it was precisely captured by the Extreme Star Soul.
One.
Ten.
One hundred pieces.
All of them were put into the Extreme Star Furnace.
[Devouring and Refining the Second Anchor's Core Fragment]
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 985000]
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 990000]
The bronze gatekeeper's remains began to crumble.
The source of life in the chest has been taken away.
The second anchor broke completely.
The shadow of the King's Gate has been directly shattered by the Great Wilderness Annihilation.
It no longer has any power to maintain the projection of reality.
The left arm was severed first.
Next was the right arm.
Shoulder armor, breastplate, waist and abdomen—pieces of bronze door panels detached from the body.
Each piece of the door that fell off was caught by the Blood Shadow Eight Arms.
Not a single piece fell back to the main gate.
The Blood Shadow Soul Core operates autonomously.
Identify contamination.
Peel off the door pattern.
Then, through the Soul Core Channel, all the remaining energy is sent into the Extreme Dao Star Furnace of the main body.
[Devouring the remains of the bronze-clad goalkeeper]
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 993000]
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 996000]
The bronze gatekeeper was reduced to half a body.
The smooth mask has completely cracked.
Behind the crack in the door, there were no more eerie blue eyes.
Only a lingering, dying ember remained.
It looked at Lin Yuan.
The sound was intermittent.
"Sect Master..."
"I will... come in person..."
"After the main sect..."
"And... thousands of gatekeepers and generals..."
Lin Yuan gripped its ravaged chest cavity with his eight hands.
"Then let's come down together."
The bronze gatekeeper's lingering regret trembled violently.
It seemed to want to say something more.
But Lin Yuan had lost interest in listening.
The eight arms tore outwards.
Stab it!
The entire bronze gatekeeper's remains were completely torn apart from the center.
Blood-red lotus fire poured in along the crack.
The Extreme Star Furnace unleashed its final devouring attack.
The bronze body rapidly disintegrated.
From ten zhang.
It shrank to one zhang (approximately 3.3 meters).
Shrink it down to one foot.
In the end, it transformed into a wisp of residual light from the goalkeeper's origin, a mixture of dark blue and dark gold.
Lin Yuan clasped his five fingers together.
Swallow it.
[The Bronze Goalkeeper's projection has been successfully absorbed.]
[Second Anchor Refinement Completed]
[The fragment of the King's Gate Shadow Rules has been successfully refined.]
[Physical compression of Qi and blood is underway]
The system numbers continued to fluctuate.
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 997000]
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 998500]
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 999000]
Inside Lin Yuan's body.
The ultimate star body roared.
Each dark gold bone is like a star sinking into the sky.
Deep within the Extreme Star Soul, the dark gold star map formed by the trajectory behind the gate rapidly expanded.
The passage between the Blood Shadow Soul Core and the main body has also become more stable.
However, after the last remaining energy of the bronze gatekeeper was compressed, the system numbers became unusually slow.
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 999500]
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 999900]
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 999990]
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 999999]
stopped.
This is the last time.
But this pause is even more severe than when the number reached 800,000 or 900,000.
It's as if what lies ahead is not an ordinary node.
It is a true insurmountable barrier.
The system notification slowly appeared.
[Millions of major qualitative change nodes detected]
Currently, the basic requirements for the support of Qi and blood, physical body, spirit, and blood shadow have all been met.
The final physical compression requires absorbing and refining a complete King-level Origin, or a Star Gate of the same level.
The current Bronze Goalkeeper is merely a fragmented projection of the King's Conquest, and does not meet the conditions for final qualitative change.
Millions of times.
It's not a typical qualitative change that occurs at 100,000 nodes.
Rather, it's the biggest leap from 100,000 to 1 million.
The bronze gatekeeper is very heavy.
Feng Wangmenying has also reached the level of Feng Wang.
But they are ultimately just projections.
It is not the complete origin of the title of king.
Lin Yuan looked up.
Inside the main star gate.
The blue rift is rapidly closing as the second anchor breaks.
After losing their leader, the swarm of worms began to frantically flee back into the cracks of the door.
The Zhenxing Army, the Xunxing Guard, and the powerful members of the four major families launched a counterattack simultaneously.
The Star Law Array cuts off the insect swarm's retreat.
Zhenxinghou's sword flashed across the sky.
Qin Zhushanhe Zhuyin Town.
Large numbers of phylum worms collapsed beneath the main star gate.
For the first time, the wartime alarms in Longyuan City began to weaken.
Everyone knows.
This crisis at the main gate was averted.
The bronze gate is about to die.
The second anchor broke.
The main gate is about to close.
Although the outer defense line suffered heavy losses, it did not collapse.
Longyuan City still exists.
After a brief silence.
On the first line of defense, a Zhenxing soldier covered in blood suddenly raised his sword.
"The goalkeeper is dead!"
Hoarseness.
But it was like a spark that ignited the entire defense line.
"The goalkeeper is dead!"
"The second anchor has broken!"
"The main gate has been defended!"
A thunderous cheer erupted.
Zhenxing Army.
University mentor.
The four major family teams.
Star Patrol.
Even ordinary people in the underground shelters who heard the battle reports.
All the emotions that had been suppressed all night were completely released at this moment.
……
Inner ring of Longyuan Academy.
Song Li's eyes reddened as she looked up at Lin Yuan in the sky.
Ji Qinghe remained silent.
Ning Wushuang didn't have it either.
Chu Tianheng slowly sheathed his longsword and bowed his head to the eight-armed, dark gold figure.
This is not academic etiquette.
It's not a family ritual either.
It was just a martial artist's instinctive respect when facing someone who had truly saved a city.
Starting today.
No one in Longyuan City will ever again call Lin Yuan a useless person in the Qi and Blood Realm.
No one would regard him as a newborn protected by the Blood Face.
Because everyone saw it with their own eyes.
Bloodface stood behind him.
The Bronze Gate will die at his hands.
The illusory image of the King's Sect was shattered by his four punches.
……
On the star cruiser.
Zhou Xuanheng looked at Lin Yuan in silence.
After a long while, he raised his hand.
The last old judgment in Lin Yuan's file has been deleted.
It is suspected that it carries the high-level protective seal of the Blood-Faced Ancient Cultivator.
Then, I rewrote it:
Lin Yuan.
The Blood-Faced Ancient Cultivator's true form and origin.
The Gate Swallower.
Actual combat strength: Cannot be accurately assessed using the existing realm system.
Wartime stance: Protect Lin Xiaoya, opposing sect leader.
After writing.
Zhou Xuanheng paused for a moment, then added another line.
It cannot be subject to mandatory regulation.
Do not cross its bottom line.
The deputy envoy of the star patrol was shaken as he looked at the last two lines.
The Grand Marshal, the Star Inspector, finally and completely changed his attitude towards Lin Yuan and his sister.
It wasn't because of the blood rune threat.
It wasn't because Marquis Zhenxing objected.
It was because Lin Yuan proved his worth through a main sect battle.
……
The Qin family's tall building.
Qin Guanlan gazed at the vanished bronze gatekeeper and spoke softly:
"Pass on the order."
"From this day forward, no one from the Qin family of Longyuan is permitted to contact Lin Yuan and his sister under any pretext."
"Those who disobey this order will be expelled from the Qin family."
The Qin family elder's expression changed slightly.
But no one dared to refute it.
Qin Zhu looked at Lin Yuan in the sky and slowly said:
"Young Master, the grudge against Qin Xuanxiao..."
Qin Guanlan glanced at him.
"You still think that's an enemy?"
Qin Zhu remained silent.
Qin Guanlan withdrew his gaze.
"Qin Xuanxiao made the first move."
"We lost."
"He's dead."
That's all.
"If the Qin family wants to live, they shouldn't try to portray their mistakes as a blood feud."
……
Starry Courtyard.
Lin Xiaoya stood in front of the courtyard gate.
She didn't read the battle report.
There was no cheering from the whole city.
She simply looked up at the figure slowly descending from the direction of the main star gate.
The image of the Great Brahma, the god of destruction, gradually dissipated.
The crimson lotus flames gradually died down.
The eight dark gold arms retracted into his body.
Lin Yuan returned to his original appearance.
The old school uniform was already mostly torn and damaged.
Several wounds on his body were not fully healed.
But he came back.
Lin Xiaoya ran quickly out of the courtyard gate.
Halfway through the run, as if remembering something, I forcibly slowed down.
She was afraid of bumping into her brother's wound.
Finally, I stood before him, looked up, and asked:
"Have you finished eating?"
Lin Yuan glanced at her.
"Just one bite away."
Lin Xiaoya was stunned.
There's such a huge bronze gatekeeper in the sky.
Such a large main gate.
My brother finished it all.
One more bite?
Lin Yuan looked up at the closing main star gate.
The system panel remained deep within my consciousness.
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 999999]
Just one more time.
The complete origin of the King's Conferment is required.
Or the same level of stargate access.
Just as the main star gate was about to completely close.
The deepest part of the door crack.
A pitch-black hand, whose size was indistinguishable, suddenly pressed down on the door frame.
The main gate is about to close.
Stopped.
The cheers that had just erupted throughout the city suddenly subsided at that moment.
Lin Yuan looked up.
The Supreme Star Soul slowly rotated.
Behind that hand lies a will many times heavier than that of the Bronze Gatekeeper.
Sect Master.
A cold voice came through the closing crack behind the door.
"The Gate Swallower".
"I will remember you."
A dark golden starlight shone in Lin Yuan's eyes.
He looked at the hand pressing against the door frame.
The system prompt appeared silently.
[A full King-level privilege projection was detected]
[Capable of performing one million final compressions]
Lin Yuan slowly spoke:
"Perfect."
"The last bite."
