Chapter 1038: Tearing Through the Solar System, Blasting Apart the Great Demon God (I)

Following that echoing roar from the depths of the mythical world, an invisible shockwave swept across the land. In an instant, countless weak bubbles nestled within deep spatial rifts and crystalline interlayers of the mythical world burst apart like brilliant fireworks, alongside complete fragments of shattered worlds. Even the Blue Planet and the entire solar system trembled in the sweep of that intangible force.

Centered on the sun, a transparent membrane more than thirty billion kilometers in diameter emerged from the dark void of space, forming a massive dome that enveloped the entire solar system. The outermost boundary was about thirteen billion kilometers away from Neptune, the closest planet. The dome was vast beyond imagination.

The moment this transparent membrane appeared, it was detected by a space research base, shaped like an island and floating tens of millions of kilometers above the Blue Planet’s atmosphere.

Inside, an elderly man with snow-white hair and beard, exuding the aura of a heavenly king, solemnly said, "So this is the boundary of our world? It has already been completely captured by the mythical world."

Though he was a heavenly king, whose life force should have been vibrant and robust, there was a faint air of decay about him, as if he were just an ordinary man nearing the end of his life.

Boom!

A second, more violent shockwave swept through the solar system. The massive transparent membrane shuddered slightly, and then the entire world suddenly sank. Beneath the immense spherical membrane, space slowly collapsed inward. The surrounding time and space twisted, forming concentric layers of distorted transparent rifts that spread in all directions.

Because of the sheer distance, the ordinary people on the Blue Planet felt nothing at all. No one could have imagined that the entire solar system, like a colossal bubble, had begun to fall toward the mythical world by the pull of an unseen force.

Over two hundred thousand kilometers beneath the surface of the sun, Mech No.1, which was now more than twelve thousand meters tall, suddenly lit up. Its eyes shone with dazzling blue-white radiance. "The second mythical surge has finally begun."

No.1 had taken on a sleeker form. Its entire body was clad in ornate golden-white armor that resembled skin, and its surface was covered in intricate runic arrays and patterns. Its aura had become incomparably vast. Concentrated golden energy pulsed from its body in widening halos, creating a vacuum zone over a thousand kilometers wide, even within the crushing pressure of the stellar core.

In this region, only pure, blazing golden energy flowed. At the center stood No.1, like a god of creation, majestic and awe-inspiring.

Ever since the ancient creature's heart within it had been completed, and Luo Fei had replaced the soul to form a complete entity, No.1’s strength had skyrocketed at an extreme pace. In essence, it didn’t cultivate; it absorbed energy, reviving its power and using its heart as the core to regenerate flesh and reconstruct its true form, reviving its power.

Unfortunately, the time had been too short. Inside No.1, Luo Fei, who presented as an energy form, revealed a trace of regret in her eyes. If she had just six more months, and enough stellar energy to absorb, No.1 could have at the very least completed the reconstruction of its true form. Even if it couldn’t regain its former peak at that point, she would have still had confidence in holding up the solar system.

However, that also meant she likely wouldn’t survive the backlash from the explosive convergence of that ancient being’s lingering soul fragments. There would be gains and losses either way. Sensing that a third of her true form had already been restored, Luo Fei willed No.1 to dive toward the sun’s depths in a beam of pure light.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

As it descended at high speed, No.1 collided violently with the solar material. Each moment triggered indescribably intense explosions.

However, this destructive energy, powerful enough to injure an ordinary demon god, couldn’t shake the golden-white armor covering No.1. All of the stellar energy it had absorbed was now under Luo Fei’s control. She had prioritized condensing and reconstructing No.1’s external armor.

Or rather, this regenerated armor was, in essence, the scale armor of an ancient and immensely powerful being. Its durability had reached the extreme. This was what allowed Luo Fei to control No.1 and dive into the core of the sun.

As No.1 plunged deeper, the stellar pressure around it grew exponentially. The searing, condensed energy matter reached temperatures of tens of millions of degrees Celsius. Here, nuclear fusion occurred constantly, releasing energy and radiation capable of destroying every planet in the solar system in an instant.

When No.1 was still a hundred thousand kilometers away from the sun’s core, its descent began to slow. The pressure here was beyond description, comparable to a white dwarf star. Even with all of the super energy in its body erupting at full force, No.1 struggled to endure it.

That hollow was still over ten thousand kilometers ahead. If it wanted to carry the weight of a world and hold up the sky, No.1 had to reach it.

With its form slightly warped by the pressure, No.1 raised its head and let out a deafening roar. Its golden-white arms burst into flames, unleashing a force dozens of times more powerful than before.

Boom!

The compressed stellar matter around it exploded outward. In that instant, No.1 became a beam of pure rhombic light, fifteen thousand meters in length. At the cost of burning part of its true form, No.1 surged forward like an unstoppable arrow, quickly crossing the final ten thousand kilometers. Only three thousand kilometers remained to the hollow.

By this point, the pressure had surpassed two hundred billion times standard atmospheric pressure. Time and space had collapsed under the strain. The rhombic light that Mech No.1 manifested as had been compressed down to just over three thousand meters. It shrunk down to a fraction of its size, its entire form resembling refined steel.

"Not enough."

Boom!

No.1’s upper body armor ignited completely, and in that instant, an even more violent and overwhelming power erupted. Blinding brilliance radiated outward, piercing through everything as it surged into that invisible hollow.

The moment No.1 entered, the crushing pressure that had been collapsing time and space vanished. In its place appeared a sphere of white light. It looked as though it floated directly before her eyes, yet also as if it were suspended at an infinite distance. Like a planet with a diameter of ten thousand kilometers, the sphere of white light gave Luo Fei the sense that she was looking at the entire solar system.

"So this is the Heart of the World, the birthplace of our world? We’ve finally made it." Luo Fei sighed softly, and her consciousness began to return.

It wasn’t just her will returning. The Primordial Azure Sky, which had fused with her consciousness and become part of the Heavenly Dao's will, was also being drawn in. Using her as a bridge between the two worlds, and the newborn Heart of the World as the lure, the solar system that had been steadily sinking suddenly shuddered.

The transparent membrane directly above the solar system turned azure. The light veiled the heavens and bathed the Blue Planet’s atmosphere in an azure hue, sweeping the skies clear and rendering the firmament a deep, cloudless green.

The sudden anomaly left everyone on the Blue Planet stunned. At the opening ceremony of the Global Martial Arts Tournament in the capital of West Meng, hundreds of geniuses from around the world, along with over a hundred thousand spectators, looked up in shock.

Liu Feng blinked. "What’s going on? Why is the sky changing color?"

Beside him, Li Meng rubbed his chin. "I don’t know, but it feels like something really powerful is happening."

"No shit. The sky’s changing colors, of course it’s something big." Xia Youhui rolled his eyes.

Surrounded by the group, Chen Hu, who was now even taller and more imposing, lifted his head to the changing sky. A strange shiver stirred deep in his soul, and his expression turned distant.

"The sky of our world... has changed. I think I saw Sister Luo Fei. She’s walking step by step to a throne..."

The three beside him froze. "Luo Fei? Didn’t she go to the frontlines? What throne are you talking about?"

Xia Youhui’s words snapped Chen Hu out of his trance. In the spectator stands, seated at the head, Yan Ruoyi, with silver hair cascading past her shoulders and dragon horns on her head, suddenly looked grave as she shot to her feet. "The mythical surge has erupted early!"

Turning to her secretary, her expression grew sharp. "Notify every nation and every city. Sound the air raid alarms. Begin evacuation to the outskirts immediately."

"Yes, General!"

In less than a minute, piercing sirens echoed across the globe. Millions of soldiers stationed across the Blue Planet, regular troops and low-level transcendent special units alike, mobilized and rushed to cities nearby. Local enforcement teams also received orders and deployed fully to maintain order.

Chaos engulfed the Blue Planet. Countless citizens, confused and frightened, followed the crowd toward the outskirts, urged on by the blaring sirens and emergency broadcasts.

While the Blue Planet descended into disorder, in the mythical world, the sky centered over the human territory trembled continuously. Clouds across millions of kilometers dispersed layer by layer.

Far above, in the distant heavens, a part of an immense, boundless phantom world slowly emerged, falling at terrifying speed toward this space and land.

"Humans, you are finished!"

"

Hahaha

... Three suns under one sky. The great upheaval of the vast world has now reached your domain. You pathetic insects are doomed to perish!"

"Once your Blue Planet collapses, all your technological advantages will disappear in an instant, and without the blessing of otherworldly principles, your next generation’s cultivation talent will become ordinary."

"You have no future!"

Above the skies, demon kings and great demon kings roared with wild laughter. Their attacks grew fiercer, lashing toward humanity’s kings like a storm.

On the ground, Li Daoyi and Ji Wuji, their auras unstable, stood atop a ten-thousand-meter peak. They looked up, stunned, at the phantom world slowly manifesting in the sky. The blazing star at its center and the familiar planets circling it looked familiar to them.

Boom!

A beam of light a kilometer thick pierced through the clouds. Upon hitting the ground, it shattered everything within a thousand kilometers. Mountains collapsed, and the resulting shockwave was apocalyptic.

Already wounded, Li Daoyi and Ji Wuji were caught off guard. "Watch out!"

In the blink of an eye, the blast swept them into the air.

As the sky changed, at the entrance of Passage One, a golden divine tree tens of thousands of meters tall suddenly trembled. From within, a powerful will slowly awakened.

Hum!

The branches of the golden divine tree swayed, radiating dazzling light that outshone the suns above.

Inside the Eternal Divine Tree, a deep and dignified will burst forth, shaking the very fabric of time and space.

"Qian Tian. As agreed, I will entwine with the world. I trust you will honor your promise."

Over a million kilometers away, Qian Tian, his true form now standing over a hundred thousand meters tall and distorted by white flames, repelled Tyretis with a single strike. He turned, gaze calm. —

Rest assured. As the Guardian of Civilization, my promise represents all of humanity.

Boom!

Before the stunned eyes of countless people in Logistics City One, the towering Eternal Divine Tree began to expand at an astonishing rate. In the blink of an eye, a golden divine tree over a hundred thousand kilometers tall stood between heaven and earth. The sight instantly sent the Heavenly Feathered Race into a frenzy.

"It’s the Eternal Divine Tree! Our Mother Tree has returned!"

"So the Mother Tree never fell after all. It was all a lie! Hahaha..."

"Our homeland still exists. There is still hope for our race!"
