Chapter 1492 - 754: Gate of Hell
The sky was pitch black, the blue sea dark as shadows. Rolling dirty waves, under the support and drive of the storm, rose like a colossal surge reaching the sky, spanning the sea and the sky.
In the deepest darkness, as if by divine will, giant serpents danced wildly, and flood dragons arose from the land.
Majestic and brutal outlines faintly emerged.
Countless mermaids excitedly shrieked and shouted, flailing their arms and legs, witnessing the destruction bestowed by the Holy Master.
The earth-shattering tsunami engulfed everything in shadow, and for a moment, darkness completely swallowed Luo Island.
And at that moment, a tiny glimmer emerged from Ji Jue's fingertips.
So small a point, yet it suddenly swelled, expanding at an unimaginable speed, in an instant swelling to a terrifying size like a blazing sun.
Immediately after, the radiance of that sun began to collapse inward, retracting, once again becoming a point.
Another brutal expansion began again!
And so, expansion, contraction, expansion, and contraction... in the span of a breath, this cycle repeated nine times!
Inconceivably fast.
And soon followed the wailing of the Spiritual Quality Reserve. Right under Lou Feng's nose, massive diversion circuits burned out completely, overwhelmed.
The spiritual reserves that should have supported the entire Luo Island for decades, fell by a third in an instant!
Such a violent extraction and consumption,
In that brief moment, it wasn't even enough to make the tsunami advance by another foot.
Yet Ji Jue's fingertip had already nonchalantly pointed forward.
Thus, before the dark stormy sea, a flickering glimmer drifted away with the wind.
Like a drunkard, it staggered, stumbled, wobbling and weaving in an arc through the air.
Seemingly slow yet truly swift, with each flicker, it seemed to leap several kilometers forward out of thin air.
Obviously so dim, yet at this moment, everything between heaven and earth became its backdrop.
And so, silently, it disappeared into the tide.
Vanished without a trace.
Everything disappeared!
The earth-shaking tide and that flickering glimmer seemed to vanish completely in the snap of a finger.
Regardless of the terrifying tide connecting sea and sky, the iron-like dark clouds above, even the shadow of the grinning green flood dragon in the darkness, and... the smiles on the faces of all the onlookers.
Silence.
In the deathly silence, only a thread of light flashed and vanished, like dewdrop and lightning, like a dream or illusion.
The tide trembled for a moment, a horrifying void rapidly expanded in the center, and the enormous tsunami dissipated like ashes, vanishing along with countless herds within it.
The previously unstoppable tsunami, now appeared like a toy fort built by children on the beach, easily crumbling with just a light blow.
You couldn't even hear a sound, sense any loud noise, or see any flash.
Pure destruction appeared beneath that tiny glimmer.
Like a sword strike, effortlessly killing the heavenly calamity, not even giving it the chance to collapse, already dispersing into a pale mist, permeating between sea and sky.
Zanlu!
"Now, do you understand why I told you not to oppose that person?"
In the meeting room of the Dan City Federation, Penarosa turned back indifferently, glancing at the sweat-drenched Galisto: "If this hit, could your Dan City withstand it?"
"You should be grateful the family mediated in between, so neither side reached a point of irreconcilability. If you had the courage to oppose him, the family would fully support you in becoming the Alliance Hierarch of the Seven Cities, without a doubt."
Galisto held his breath, remaining silent.
And far away in Yamen, that elected ruler was already seeing black, gasping for breath.
At this moment, not only was there a deathly silence between the Seven Cities, even the tyrant in the Sea Abyss stood frozen, as if plunged into an ice cave.
Like narrowly escaping death, drenched in sweat.
Damn, so sinister, too sinister, you're killing your father with this, still hiding this trump card!
Just a little more, just a little...
I would have gone head-to-head with that craftsman from Luo Island!
Not only others, even Ji Jue was stunned at this moment, suppressing the impulse to be dumbfounded, incredulously listening to the excited cries from Zanlu.
So outrageous?
This child has been with me for so long, truly enduring grievances... eating so many heavenly calamities, transforming and refining for so long, yet never able to fully unleash its potential, right?
No way around it, in the past, the household simply didn't have the means.
This strike, if it had been used half a month ago, would have exploded already, leaving no remains and reduced to ashes.
Even now, his rebirth form has already experienced an overload, seemingly intact, but in reality, durability has dropped by ninety-eight percent.
Three-phase Alchemy is currently speeding up repairs.
Just the cooling liquid evaporated by the waste heat has consumed half a warehouse.
Ultimately, the key lies in one's own control power!
Just like the Lou Family's technique, As Bright as the Sun and Stars.
When the values inflate to a certain extent, the magnitude of the values becomes less important than ensuring that this power is applied thoroughly to its target with technique and skill!
In the past, Ji Jue was still not strong enough, but now, with the existence of the Red Cloud Foundation, Ji Jue's already exaggerated control power has been pushed to unimaginable levels.
The so-called unity with heaven and earth!
Throughout the entire process, Ji Jue did not even feel any difficulty or fatigue. Every step forward and the control over each tiny ripple became smooth and ideal, as if assisted by equipment in a closed laboratory without any unexpected losses or external disturbances.
After smoothly siphoning off a third of the spiritual quality reserves of Luo Island, the transformation of Zanlu completed naturally, delivering the outcome to the designated opponent.
Everything was natural and flawless.
Red Cloud!
Even though the active skill of the Heavenly Constitution cannot be used yet, the passive attribute of the Red Cloud Foundation has already begun to exert power!
Receiving the talisman, Golden Rules, Hundred Years' Handle—these three blessings stacked together are enough to double any Chosen One's control power, not to mention the independent field of the noble Red Cloud...
Domination of Tian Yuan, kid!
Such a frightful and terrifying momentum instantly overwhelmed the terrifying pressure brought by the tsunami. Unfortunately, it could not make the enemy retreat.
Anyone with a brain should be contemplating how to play it safe and avoid trouble; it's a pity the personnel have low intelligence, and the Sea Locusts are simply brainless.
Watching as the Destruction granted by the Holy Master is countered, numerous mermaid sacrificial members fall into fury, crazily blowing the horns, summoning their kin to march towards Luo Island.
The rising fog turns into an aid for the opponent; under the blessing granted by the Green Flood Dragon, numerous carnivorous flocks already soar in the air, covering the sky.
Anyway, when the harmful wind comes, there are too many flocks to eat, and there's no pity even if they die out, not to mention the madly hungry Sea Locusts mixed among them. Now, the siege comes from all directions, like a black tide engulfing the entire Luo Island.
Go ahead and kill—kill them all and show you're powerful!
This time, it feels as though there was previous targeting of Luo Island, as when the curtain rises again, the shattered clouds on the sky reconvene.
In the horn calls and urgings of the sacrificial members, bolts of Thunderbolt strike down, tearing through the fragile curtain effortlessly, large amounts of mist surging and blown away repeatedly by the wild winds and Thunderbolt, only able to disperse helplessly and pathetically between Luo Island, never able to gather and form completely.
The brightly lit Luo Island is exposed without any defenses to the endless Sea Locusts and flocks under the pressing black tide.
Until buildings and streets are just within reach, the rain on the ground and cracks on the walls are plainly visible.
Then, a crisp click is heard.
Followed by... an even mightier metal storm than torrential rain, soaring into the sky!
Underneath the collapsed walls, installed machine guns spew tongues of fire, tearing insignificant disguises apart, extravagantly firing upon anything daring to step into the shooting range.
Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands.
Countless machine guns produced continuously over days on the assembly line of Luo Island and the bullets piled up like mountains in the warehouse finally have use now.
It's like reckless Little Kalami who drank some alcohol then rode motorcycles into the Federation's military base, or perhaps, even more terrifying firepower rises from Luo Island.
From every vantage point, every transportation hub, even a seemingly ordinary truck on the rooftop of a parking lot, a machine gun mount slowly rises.
The firepower is so terrifying that bullets fly like clearance sales, buy one pound get five free, density high enough to bring tears to the eyes of Central Earth people—they've never enjoyed such lavish treatment in their life... The Federation and Empire are still too conscientious.
Under the locking and aiming of the Paradise System, over four thousand machine gun turrets inside and outside of Luo Island fire at full power. Even without the Path of Conquest's auto-aim assist, thanks to the server's massive calculations every minute, all invading orbits and trajectory changes are clearly visible, so clear.
After intricately outlining complex parameters, one task remains.
Just freaking shoot it to pieces!
Not only is it monotonous, but certainly not bland. As the Mermaid Clan from all directions enters the attack range, false hills and disguises on the central low mountain of Luo Island crumbles completely, exploding as sixteen ghostly dark launch silos are exposed.
From the spewing firelight, stubby rockets rise like stars, plunging through the night sky towards the massing Sea Locusts or mermaids on the sea, dive in... or explode in mid-air.
Scattering countless 'tiny' seeds.
Then, on the sea, piercing Flame Light rises like giant trees, towering over the sky!
Massive solid Fuel Element, refined White Phosphorus, Aluminum Thermite and other accelerants, and the residue leftover by Zanlu, all expertly blended, finally undergo the anticipated chemical reaction.
Flames dance wildly, like thick blankets, spreading layer by layer on the dark sea.
The sky is burned scarlet by the Fierce Flame, and the ocean transforms into Purgatory, boiling sounds constantly accompanied by tragic screams, countless mermaids and Sea Locusts in the sea struggle furiously, roll, spasm, yet can't extinguish the flames on their bodies...
Hell.
The genuine Gate of Hell has opened.
