Chapter 127: Weapons from the Heavens!

Level 3.9?

Lin Qing’s pupils shrank slightly.

This threat must have come from Urieo, who escaped from the Broken Stele Prison?

How did this man suddenly show up here?

“Two individuals have crossed the laser sensor zone; micro life detectors confirm both have life fields at the Gene Reorganization level.”

At that moment, Chen Guang’s voice suddenly flashed rapidly through his mind: “The enemy is destroying the laser defense network built by unmanned units 1.2 kilometers away. The defense system will be breached soon. Based on the enemy’s capabilities, it’s almost certainly Urieo and Feiyao from the Broken Stele Prison.”

Her voice in his mind moved at near the absolute limit of Lin Qing’s thought speed—those few sentences took less than 0.1 seconds.

Lin Qing narrowed his eyes slightly.

The records indicate Urieo possesses two to three Level Four abilities.

One of them resembles energy vision, capable of distinguishing varying energy intensities, greatly aiding combat, with a visual range of about five kilometers.

So, Urieo only needs to find the person with the strongest energy signature to identify him.

Besides, this is the city outskirts—already sparsely populated.

After a flash of thought, Lin Qing immediately grabbed the phone beside him and sent orders at maximum speed: “All personnel retreat, route zl1, report submitted to headquarters.”

Urieo wields a Primitive-tier combat art; his strength ranks among the highest below Patrol Envoys, stronger than Lin Qing now—he naturally wouldn’t engage directly.

He had no reason to risk it.

“Just buy some time.”

Lin Qing didn’t hesitate—he leapt out the second-floor window, becoming a trailing shadow as he shot off in another direction.

…

“Shhhhh—!”

Over the suburban wasteland, streaks of dark blue light flashed—dozens of unmanned drones armed with laser weapons froze midair, then plummeted and shattered into fragments.

Urieo, wreathed in frosty mist, suddenly smirked, “We haven’t even seen each other yet, and you’re already retreating?”

His eyes, marked with dark golden patterns, fixed on the figure speeding away over a kilometer away—he could clearly see every high-energy entity within five kilometers.

“Fast, but… where do you think you’re running?”

Urieo sneered and immediately surged forward at full speed, his entire body nearly becoming a blur.

Feiyao, though significantly weaker than Urieo, excelled in speed and barely kept pace.

Both accelerated to nearly three times the speed of sound.

“Hmm?”

Urieo suddenly noticed the high-energy signature representing Lin Qing had accelerated further—now only slightly slower than himself.

“So fast?” he was startled.

But they were only one or two kilometers apart—if he was even a fraction slower, he’d be caught in under half a minute.

After a dozen seconds.

Three blurred, blindingly fast figures leaped over mountains, crossed rivers, and had already traversed nearly twenty kilometers.

At that moment—

Urieo suddenly froze, halting abruptly.

“What’s wrong?” Feiyao stopped too.

“What happened?” Urieo stared at the direction, frowning in disbelief: “He just vanished?”

In his energy vision, the energy signature representing Lin Qing had simply flickered and disappeared—no high-energy entity remained within his five-kilometer range.

“Vanished?”

Feiyao was stunned too. “How? Do Earthlings have methods to conceal energy?”

Urieo said nothing—he swiftly darted through a grove on the small hill and arrived at the spot where Lin Qing had disappeared.

Yet after careful observation for a long while, he found nothing.

“Either he’s hiding his energy… or…” Urieo narrowed his eyes.

…

Thirty kilometers away, inside an abandoned gas station.

“Instant Light plus Celestial Track coordinates—perfect for escape.”

Lin Qing held an alloy throwing knife, staring at the cross-shaped cyan mark on its blade, a faint smile forming.

This knife, forged from second-grade alloy, had been hidden here long ago after he inscribed a Celestial Track coordinate onto it.

Urieo’s energy vision only reached five kilometers—but Lin Qing’s “Return Coordinate” technique could instantly teleport him thirty kilometers.

Moreover, over these past few days, he had fully restructured and perfected his Gene Ability: Instant Light.

Now, Instant Light’s top speed reached over seventy kilometers per second—though it lasted only slightly more than 0.001 seconds, within that instant, it was nearly equivalent to teleportation.

At this terrifying speed, Urieo wouldn’t even react before Lin Qing vanished.

“Chen Guang, send a message to Jia Yi.”

Lin Qing pulled out his Second Source, rapidly replenishing his energy, and said: “Have her scan with her mind power—find out where the other prisoners in Jin Guang Tower are now.”

Soon, Chen Guang replied: “They’re cunning—they’ve left Jin Guang Tower and are hiding in the East Suburb.”

“Good. Lock onto them.”

Lin Qing smiled, feeling his energy recover quickly, and said: “Chen Guang, block radar and satellites.”

Shuowan , he suddenly swelled with muscle, hurling the alloy knife skyward—it instantly shattered the sound barrier, accelerating to dozens of times the speed of sound, becoming a streak of light racing into the heavens.

Seconds later, once the knife vanished beyond the clouds, Lin Qing sensed its coordinate, constructed an invisible Celestial Track, and activated Instant Light again!

Return Coordinate!

In an instant, he transformed into a stream of cyan energy, hurtling at over seventy kilometers per second, piercing through the clouds, catching up to the flying knife, and snatching it midair.

Then, behind Lin Qing, a pair of cyan-glowing wings unfurled—he flapped once, and shot straight upward into the dim night sky.

“This method is incredibly useful—just a bit energy-intensive,” Lin Qing couldn’t help smiling.

No choice.

At night, the Celestial Wings were far too glaring—if he flew directly upward, he’d be spotted long before reaching the clouds.

But Instant Light’s speed was so extreme that piercing the low cloud layer, barely a thousand meters high, took less than 0.02 seconds—nearly impossible to detect.

This was the true brilliance of Instant Light and Celestial Track coordinates.

“Now is a good opportunity.”

“Since Urieo and Feiyao have separated from the other extraterrestrial fugitives, this is the perfect moment to eliminate them all.”

After flapping his Celestial Wings higher into the sky, Lin Qing headed straight toward the location Chen Guang had pinpointed.

Though the Celestial Wings hadn’t undergone gene restructuring, they still moved at 2.7 Mach—and since he was airborne, he only needed straight-line flight.

Lin Qing glanced at the current Order Level of the Entropy Reverser.

【Current Order Level: 87.1】

Over these five days, as underground factions across Jiangnan’s major cities were purged, the Order Level had plateaued.

“If I eliminate all these extraterrestrial prisoners, I should reach Level 100.”

Lin Qing narrowed his eyes. “Then I can immediately pre-claim ‘Endless Celestial Radiance’—and stand a better chance against Urieo and Feiyao.”

Both “Endless Celestial Radiance” and “Sinking Star Six Motions” were already at the beginner level.

The technique he envisioned would grow far stronger if he mastered “Endless Celestial Radiance.”

“Target is approximately 63 kilometers away.” Chen Guang’s voice echoed in his mind: “You’ll reach the target’s airspace in about 68 seconds.”

“68 seconds? Too slow.”

Lin Qing thought for a moment. “Better hurry—Chen Guang, have Jia Yi deliver my plaque to the prisoners’ location.”

…

In a quiet residential area far from Lin’an’s urban center.

Zhao Jiayi sat on the rooftop terrace of a villa, one hand holding a phone, the other gripping a flat alloy plaque bearing a cyan cross mark.

More accurately, it was just a thin, sharp-edged alloy sheet.

“So I just need to make this alloy fly to the target?” Zhao Jiayi asked.

“Yes.” Lin Qing’s voice came from the phone: “Good girl, hurry up.”

“Why are you talking like that now…”

Zhao Jiayi blushed, cleared her throat, and immediately used her mind power to launch the alloy sheet skyward—accelerating it continuously until it surpassed ten times the speed of sound.

!.

With her mind power advancing rapidly since adulthood, she could now scan a fifty-kilometer radius—and she hadn’t reached her limit.

Pure mind power could now levitate objects exceeding two hundred tons within range.

Though this power paled beside Lin Qing’s current explosive strength, that wasn’t the strength of a mind power awakener to begin with.

Just over a dozen seconds later, Zhao Jiayi used her mind power to deliver the alloy sheet near the target in the East Suburb.

“Lin Qing, delivered.”

“Good girl.”

“...”

…

Above the cloud layer, a cyan phantom raced across the heavens.

“She said it’s delivered.”

Suddenly, Chen Guang’s voice echoed in Lin Qing’s mind: “I told her she was good.”

“...Don’t say anything unnecessary...”

Lin Qing was momentarily speechless, then sensed the orbital coordinates on the distant alloy plate, constructed an invisible orbital path, and immediately began accelerating along it.

His flight speed instantly surged to 6.1 Mach.

“42 kilometers to target, estimated arrival in 20 seconds,” Chen Guang immediately calculated the remaining time.

Twenty seconds later.

Ten thousand meters above ground, Lin Qing beat his cyan wings, his gaze piercing through the thin cloud layer as he stared down at the warehouse district in the eastern suburbs—seemingly deserted—and did not descend immediately.

“Lin Qing, you’re here?”

Zhao Jia’s telekinesis had clearly detected him, and she immediately transmitted her voice through mental communication.

Lin Qing sensed the orbital coordinates below and smiled: “Jia Yi, let’s coordinate. Use the method I taught you last time—remember, kill Karol first.”

“Got it.”

Soon, Zhao Jia transmitted through telekinesis: “I’m ready. Six targets total.”

“Good.” Lin Qing gave a slight nod.

He extended one hand, and a flash of cyan light appeared in his palm—a pure black spear gleaming with cyan luster.

The spear was forged from hypersensitive material, its density and weight pushed to the maximum he could adjust—it weighed roughly 1.2 tons, its surface engraved with spiral grooves.

“Ten thousand meters... enough.”

Lin Qing took a deep breath, fixed his gaze on the warehouse below, and narrowed his eyes. “Let’s try it. I haven’t mastered Infinite Sky Radiance yet—but for a fatal strike, it’s sufficient...”

The next instant, cyan light erupted from his pupils, his muscles swelled, and threads of electricity coiled around his body.

Enhancement!

Super Strength!

Divine Speed!

In these five days, he had fully restructured and completed all third-tier genetic abilities.

“And... Free Form.”

Lin Qing gripped the spear with one hand, his arm elongating to nearly two meters, then twisted like a rope being wrung—again and again, spiraling tighter.

His body then bent backward like a drawn bow, storing immense force.

Then—

“Go!”

As his body snapped forward, his wings flared violently, hurling the spear downward with all his strength—his twisted arm spun like a recoiling rubber band, forcing the grooved spear into a furious rotation.

In an instant, the spear left his hand!

The moment it departed, its initial velocity exceeded twenty times the speed of sound.

Simultaneously, as the spear plummeted from ten thousand meters, it continuously adjusted its trajectory along the invisible orbital path—and accelerated wildly!!

Inside the warehouse.

Karol, a mountain of flesh, sat on a massive sofa, shoveling chunks of chocolate into her mouth.

Her bloodline possessed an innate ability: she could convert vast amounts of energy into fat, then burn it during combat to enter peak fighting condition.

Besides absorbed energy, high-calorie food was essential—and conveniently, it was exactly what she loved.

“The chocolate’s almost gone. When do we go back?” Karol asked impatiently.

Across from her, a handsome youth with crimson eyes suppressed the urge to frown and spoke: “Lady Karol, Lord Urieo and Mr. Feiyao’s actions are still dangerous. They have a way out—we should keep our distance.”

At that moment, none noticed a sharp alloy shard five meters beneath the warehouse floor, slowly shifting—directly beneath Karol.

“What a nuisance. These Earth primitives are useless. What’s there to fear?”

Karol tossed the chocolate tub aside, shook her fat, and ordered: “Too lazy to move. Go get me more. You’ll feed me.”

The crimson-eyed youth froze, but remembering she was nobility from the homeworld, he gritted his teeth and walked over.

Just then—

A black streak flashed past—straight through Karol’s skull. In an instant, her entire head and half her upper body exploded into fragments.

Blood and shredded flesh sprayed everywhere.

“Shiiiiim!!!”

Only now did the terrifying sonic boom echo.

“Boom!!”

Immediately after, a thunderous explosion rocked the ground.

The crimson-eyed youth stood frozen.

He hadn’t seen anything—yet Karol, the noble from the homeworld, was already obliterated.

“What happened?”

He snapped to attention, rushing behind Karol—and saw a massive crater now gouged into the warehouse floor.

Was it some ultra-high-speed kinetic weapon?

He stared into the bottomless crater—but found nothing.

What... exactly happened?
