Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

The Republic now must guard not only against Tianji Star but also against many political forces within the Federation.

If they cannot dominate and suppress all member states of the Federation with their own strength, they won't even be able to sleep at night.

"No more waiting." Xu Mengran gently shook his head. "Since we have to enter full anesthesia mode and no observations are allowed, this experiment is pointless. Lately, I've had a premonition that the situation between Tianji Star and various factions in the Federation could progressively worsen in the next few years. We can't afford to delay anymore, brother."

The comrade behind him was also a Second-Generation Alien Walker.

This person, although he had ascended to the Ninth Realm, did so at the cost of sacrificing a significant portion of his bloodline power and armament, thereby downgrading to the Ninth Realm Emperor Rank.

Over the following centuries, this People's Army Commander-in-Chief could barely improve to the Nine Realms Super Emperor Rank, and then remained stuck at that rank, unable to advance further.

At this moment, an exclamation suddenly burst through the combat channel.

"Concept Strength at 88% and still climbing!"

"Double Heavenly Maiden's combat duration has already exceeded 24 seconds, everything seems normal."

"Look! The body of 'Vajra Emperor Dragon' has breached its defense; its Vajra Concept has shattered, its heart already destroyed by the Despair Heavenly Girl, and its body is about to be torn apart by the Suffering Heavenly Girl!"

"The Dyson Cannon Array reports that their Capture Field has already locked onto the 'Vajra Emperor Dragon' and is preparing for a full salvo!"

"Amazing! This is indeed the most powerful Abyss Weapon of the century, a true pillar of the Federation!"

"Can they keep fighting? I hope they last a bit longer—just another 50 seconds, and we should be able to annihilate all of these quasi-immortal Battle Dragons."

The atmosphere in the flagship was bursting with elation, even the People's Army Commander-in-Chief showed a relieved expression.

However, Xu Mengran's mind tightened, and a strong sense of warning arose within him.

From afar, he noticed a faint, shadowy figure quietly appearing behind Lin Rui.

The figure concealed itself and emerged with extreme abruptness; even Xu Mengran could detect it only through his superior bloodline and conceptual powers.

At that moment, neither the fleet's top-tier situational awareness devices nor the hundred-plus Divine Envoys and Congressman-level individuals detected the presence.

"Not good!" A sharp glint of alarm flashed in Xu Mengran's eyes. "A quasi-Divine Envoy rank assassin! They actually have assassins of this caliber!"

The person possessed a terrifying bloodline power, as well as the conceptual strengths of 'Death,' 'Destiny,' and 'Ghostly Concealment'—all tailored for assassination!

Furthermore, judging by this assassin's exoskeleton armor, which was 0.6 meters taller than those used by humans—it was highly likely that he was one of the Tianji people.

If his judgment was correct, there might be one quasi-immortal secretly assisting this assassin, allowing him to disregard the conceptual macro force field across the fleet as well as its myriad top-tier situational awareness devices.

"Wait—two people! Three—two more Congressman level!"

The People's Army Commander sensed that two additional figures, presumably Congressman-level experts, were also hidden near Lin Rui. However, their concealment ability was weaker, remaining about 580 meters away from him.

Notably, their exoskeleton armor had also been adjusted and stood as tall as 3 meters!

"There's another quasi-immortal nearby!"

He deduced that another quasi-immortal individual was lurking, and that this bastard had somehow torn a massive gap in the Federation fleet's conceptual macro force field!

The People's Army Commander sent out a torrent of deliberate thought waves, communicating with Xu Mengran while surging upward with Sword Control, zipping out of the battleship like a bolt of lightning.

As he rushed forward, he realized he would not make it in time.

The two quasi-Divine Envoy assassins could only be handled by Lin Rui himself, and perhaps Lin Rui's subordinates might lend a hand.

"Old Xu! What's your judgment on Lin Rui's combat strength now? Can he make it through this ordeal?"

The People's Army Commander, riddled with anxiety, fired this thought pulse at Xu Mengran. Lin Rui's survival was of paramount importance; more important than even Lin Tianchen.

This gang of Longevity Association members possessed both ruthlessness and an acute sense of the Federation's vulnerabilities.

Lin Rui was now more than just the moral pillar of the Double Heavenly Maiden; he was the nexus connecting multiple factions within the Federation.

"I don't know!"

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Xu Mengran's forehead as he frantically deployed Illusion Technique, trying to disturb one of the quasi-Divine Envoys.

But for now, he couldn't overcome the assassin's overwhelming Martial Intent.

"His physical data is classified as level X—so it's beyond my access. But theoretically, the upper limit of the Seventh Realm should only be quasi-Congressman level! Hmm—"

Meanwhile, floating within the gaps of time and space, a shadowy figure quietly observed Lin Rui intently.

The figure's lips curled slightly; he mused whether this era's ninth Abyss master, wielder of the 'Pure Concept,' might be Lin Rui himself.

This little fellow was suspicious to the extreme!

To achieve such meteoric success in just a year and ten months, commanding a vast financial empire and possessing such potent combat power?

Even though Lin Rui inherited his parents' blessings and numerous miracle cosmetic formulas, with many of his experts originating from the Hidden Crown Prince of Great Song, Lin Hao— combined with the Double Heavenly Maiden as his wings—it was still baffling and borderline miraculous.

The shadowy figure sensed traces of Lin Rui's 'fate' having been manipulated and wondered if the Seventh Generation Sect Leader of the Light God Sect or the Great Sun Venerable were involved?

Back in Lin Rui's childhood, the Great Sun Venerable had deeply corrupted him. The fact that Lin Rui had survived until now was nothing short of miraculous.

The cultivation method Lin Rui practiced now, centered on Light, Thunder, and Fire, coupled with the abnormal state of the Double Heavenly Maiden—all raised questions that begged investigation.

So how would Lin Rui counter this quasi-Divine Envoy and two Congressman-level ambushers?

Lin Rui also sensed an alarming presence behind him; a subtle yet perilously sharp sword light was stabbing toward his back.

Its edge was blindingly precise, brimming with boundless killing intent and an indescribable rhythm, yet its concealment was impeccable—leaking no energy, causing no ripples.

The sword trajectory was nearly flawless, closing in swiftly and leaving only 10 meters between them.

Lin Rui raised an eyebrow, then let out a confident chuckle.

A quasi-Divine Envoy-level assassin? No, it's one quasi-Divine Envoy and two Congressmen!

The surrounding conceptual macro force field had also been forcibly breached by a quasi-immortal.

——Clearly, they thought very highly of him.

Without hesitation, Lin Rui released a strand of Sword Qi from the center of his forehead, letting it pierce outward from his body.

This was the 8SSS+ Secret Skill 'Root Slash,' which he had meticulously prepared upon ascending beyond the Seventh Realm.

But before the assassin clashed with him, it was Xianyu Yan who intercepted him first.

Unlike her past failures, Xianyu Yan had long sensed the assassin's presence this time.

As she unleashed her sword with full force, her gaze carried a scornful edge.

The true Longevity Association believed that a quasi-Divine Envoy-ranked assassin could truly take her master's life?

Her master, even without using his Abyssal Divine Power, could still contend with a genuine Divine Envoy! Not until his True Yuan was completely drained would he ever lose!

To her, this opponent was courting death!

"Clang!"

When their blades clashed, the sharp reverberations deafened them both. Xianyu Yan's meticulously prepared 8SSS+ sword technique hurled the assassin's figure back a thousand meters!

The assassin's pupils contracted drastically, filled with disbelief.

For Lin Rui's strand of Sword Qi had already shot toward his face.

"Boom!"

After enduring Xianyu Yan's 8SSS+ Secret Sword, the assassin was left powerless.

At that moment, suffering additional attacks from the techniques and illusions of Wang Tianwu, Xu Mengran, and other masters left him defenseless, resulting in Lin Rui's Sword Qi directly blasting through his skull!

Witnessing this scene, Xu Mengran's pupils contracted sharply as he focused on the center of Lin Rui's forehead.

He vaguely sensed the terrifying nature of that Sword Intent; though he only glimpsed the tip of the iceberg, it left him secretly shaken.

That Sword Intent seemed to embody an exploration of the cosmos—delving into the origins of the heavens and earth, the essence of existence, and the very roots of causality.

——How powerful! Frighteningly powerful!

Within the Federation fleet, everyone watching Lin Rui's situation fell silent, their expressions bewildered as they contemplated the nature of this sword technique.

The skill's designation was merely 8SSS+, yet its power far exceeded that range, exuding a profound sense of the Abyss.

A distant shadowy figure concealed in time and void shifted slightly in expression, also sensing the dreadful force of Lin Rui's released Sword Qi.

Within that strand, the shadow discerned at least seven Congressman-level conceptual powers and an exceptionally terrifying Sword Intent!

But how was that possible? How could he combine so many conceptual forces?

More importantly, the shadowy figure cared deeply about Lin Rui's fate, especially now that the two Congressman-level enemies had reached his side.

In that instant, the space surrounding Lin Rui violently twisted; bolstered by the 'Heaven's Will' Battle Armor, the distortion concept magnified to an astounding 57%, completely warping the surrounding space into chaos.
