Chapter 79 Extracting the Spiritual Vein and Taking It All Away
puff!
A dull cracking sound rang out, and the enormous and terrifying corpse puppet's body was instantly cleaved in two, crashing heavily into the dark red blood pool below, stirring up a sky full of foul-smelling blood flowers. Under the corrosive influence of the blood pool water, the massive body rapidly dissolved and disintegrated.
The whole thing ended in an instant.
Clean and efficient, absolutely crushing.
A true instant kill, without the slightest hesitation.
Lu Yuan casually withdrew his fingers, his gaze not lingering even for a moment on the dissolving remains, his eyes remaining cold and calm. His heart was utterly unmoved. This puppet, having lost its true nature and become a malevolent entity, had already been blessed to survive a thousand years. Its destruction today was merely its deserved punishment, the cycle of karma. Kunlun's ultimate trump card was ultimately just a pseudo-powerful force built upon the malevolent energy of the nation's destiny; before the true power of the Great Dao, it was utterly insignificant.
He raised his hand and flicked his wrist. The Nine Heavens Storage Ring shimmered faintly, and a fragment of an ancient, weathered boundary stone floated in mid-air, silently hovering in his palm. This was a treasure he had obtained in the deep-sea secret realm of the Pacific Ocean, containing the power of the origin of heaven and earth, capable of drawing upon the spiritual energy of all directions and reversing the course of the universe. Lu Yuan's eyes turned cold, and he had already made up his mind: the millennium-long theft of the dragon vein's energy by Kunlun would be ended by him personally today. He would not only destroy its foundation and annihilate its resources, but also return all the plundered dragon vein's spiritual energy to the land of China to make up for the millennium of loss.
"Your Kunlun region has cultivated itself for a thousand years, and your greatest skill is extracting spiritual energy and draining the nation's fortune?"
Lu Yuan sneered inwardly. These parasites stole the spirit of heaven and earth and the fortune of all living beings, and they considered themselves clever, but little did they know that they were just like frogs in a well, short-sighted and narrow-minded.
Lu Yuan's lips curled into a cold smile, his tone filled with extreme sarcasm, "Today, I will show you what a real water pump is."
He flicked his finger lightly.
hum!
The fragment of the boundary stone transformed into a condensed purple light, soaring through the air and landing precisely in the center of the Dragon Transformation Pool, hovering steadily above the blood.
The next second, Lu Yuan's hands flew, his ten fingers darting like the wind, forming an extremely complex and boundless Mahayana Dharma seal. With each seal, a wisp of pure white immortal fire merged into the boundary stone, awakening its dormant divine power.
This is a supreme method that mortal cultivators can never fathom in their entire lives; it is the power of the Great Dao that governs the universe and mobilizes the origin of heaven and earth.
"Heaven and earth are boundless, the universe borrows their power—rise!"
With a low shout from Lu Yuan that echoed through the earth, the entire fragment of the boundary stone suddenly burst forth with a dazzling purple light, enveloping the entire cavern!
Rumble—!!
The entire Kunlun Secret Realm trembled violently, the earth shook, as if the end of the world had arrived.
The nine jet-black chains that had imprisoned the dragon-shaped phantom crumbled and shattered piece by piece under the onslaught of the supreme purple light, and the millennia-old imprisonment collapsed in an instant!
The phantom of the earth dragon, now free, let out a clear, resounding roar that broke through the oppressive atmosphere and shook the mountains and rivers. Its enormous body transformed into a vast, boundless torrent of pure primordial spiritual energy, which poured into the fragment of the boundary stone without reservation.
More than that!
Centered on the Kunlun underground, all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of hundreds of kilometers is drawn in by the supreme attraction of the boundary stone.
A fierce wind whips up spiritual energy, causing vortexes to rise in the heavens and earth!
A gigantic whirlwind of spiritual energy, visible to the naked eye, rose from the ground and poured into the underground cavern, where it was frantically devoured and absorbed by the boundary stone.
Within the secret realm, those rare spiritual herbs and immortal trees that had been rooted for thousands of years and absorbed spiritual energy instantly lost all spiritual nourishment, rapidly turning yellow, withering, and decaying; the spiritual peaks and immortal mountains that were suspended in mid-air, having lost the support of spiritual energy, collapsed and fell with a crash, leaving the earth scarred and devastated.
Lu Yuan remained indifferent, watching the entire secret realm's spiritual energy dissipate and its foundation collapse, showing not a shred of pity. Kunlun was not some sacred land for cultivation, but a massive malignant tumor that had entrenched itself in China for thousands of years. Today, it was uprooted and drained from its foundation; it was their own doing, their own fault. A thousand years of plunder, a single day of reckoning—the cycle of cause and effect, retribution is inevitable.
A thousand years of accumulation, all gone in a single day!
Lu Yuan's eyes were calm as he spread his divine sense and precisely imprinted the coordinates: "Jiangnan City, Cloud Peak Manor".
The fragment of the boundary stone, having absorbed a massive amount of spiritual energy and been completely revived, developed fine spatial patterns on its surface, forcefully tearing apart the solid barrier between heaven and earth and creating a spatial rift that stretched for thousands of miles.
A vast, surging river of azure spiritual energy flows through the fissure, traversing thousands of mountains and rivers, crossing most of China's territory, and steadily connecting with Yunding Mountain Villa in Jiangnan City, bringing back the pure dragon vein's spiritual essence to its homeland and giving back to the earth.
After doing all this, Lu Yuan gently brushed the dust off his palm, his expression calm and composed.
He clearly sensed that deep within the earth beneath his feet, dormant for millennia, the ancient laws of heaven and earth, firmly sealed by ancient restrictions, had quietly loosened with the return of the dragon veins and the revival of spiritual energy, the first layer of the seal completely collapsing. Lu Yuan understood that the ancient shackles of the Heavenly Dao and the constraints of heaven and earth had locked the cultivation ceiling of this world precisely because the dragon veins' fortune had been constantly draining away, and the origin of heaven and earth was gradually depleting. Now that he had returned the spiritual veins and nourished the earth, this world was finally beginning to break free of its shackles and revive on its own.
The shackles that weighed down this world have shattered!
"The seal is broken, and heaven and earth are restored. It seems that the years to come will not be too boring after all."
A faint glimmer of anticipation flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes, his heart clear and bright. The silence of a thousand years of turbid world would finally end, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth would be restored, the shackles of the laws would loosen, and the slumbering ancient secrets and dormant forces would eventually surface one by one. A new era belonging to this world would begin from this moment.
Lu Yuan chuckled, his figure rising into the air, transforming into a dazzling stream of light, shooting straight into the sky through the dark crater above, breaking through the night and disappearing into the vast horizon.
......
At the same moment, on the other side of the Earth, in the United States, at the underground core defense headquarters of the S.H.I.E.L.D. conglomerate.
Inside the sealed and solemn command center, countless precision instruments were operating at high speed. On the huge holographic screen, the map of western China was flashing a blinding red light, and alarms were blaring incessantly.
A top research director, dressed in a white lab coat and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, stared intently at the terrifying energy data on the screen, which was skyrocketing and frantically breaking through thresholds. His pupils contracted sharply, and his face was filled with horror. The scalding hot coffee cup slipped from his hand and shattered on the alloy floor with a crash, spilling coffee everywhere.
"God... the energy peak has exceeded the S-level limit! It's completely out of control!"
He turned his head sharply, looking at the tall figure deep in the shadows of the command room, his voice trembling violently, filled with extreme fear and disbelief:
"Your Excellency Speaker... the sleeping dragon of the East... has fully awakened."
In the deathly stillness of the shadows, a pair of eyes, pulsating with ghostly blue hellfire, slowly opened.
Cold, mechanical, and emotionless synthesized voices slowly echoed throughout the command center, carrying with them a chilling aura and boundless ambition that had swept the globe:
"Initiate the 'God Creation' Project."
"Since the East has broken the millennium-old balance... then let us reshuffle the deck for this decaying world."
