premonition grew in his heart,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they come, they might not be able to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, isn’t there a support team arriving soon?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How dare they?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a daze, a massive rumbling seemed to echo from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Shiquan glanced sideways, through the window, he could see thirty-six aerospace ships pouring into the city from all directions,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>seeing a blazing white light flash by—a shell was fired from one of the aerospace ships!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The earth shook, flames burst into the sky, a small mushroom cloud slowly rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few seconds later, the entire city was engulfed in alarm sirens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The whole city is entering level one alert status, shutting down all external channels.\" Zhang Fusheng calmly gave the instructions:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, I propose that I temporarily assume the role of crisis commander during this state of emergency.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seconded.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seconded.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two hands were raised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The resolution, passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the Public Security Headquarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Severe Punishment Area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An old man in shackles sat calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it like outside...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He muttered to himself, suddenly puzzled, for the sounds of the riot disappeared completely not long ago, and not just that,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>one by one, the breaths and heartbeats within the Public Security Headquarters left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if they received some command—the whole public security building seemed to only have him left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Qiusheng slightly furrowed his brow, an ominous premonition arose in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s happening out there?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He murmured for a moment, slowly stood up, the shackles on his body clanged loudly, resonating in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Qiusheng’s scalp tingled fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding air suddenly became scorching, red, everything he saw was red, then a massive flame!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Boom!!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The roaring, the explosions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Public Security Headquarters was shattered by a direct hit from a main cannon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smoke and dust soared to the sky, countless rubble showered down, Chen Qiusheng stood awkwardly atop the ruins, surrounded by an extremely dense qi blood smoke—what happened??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fierce wind blew, dispersing the smoke and dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above were thirty-six aerospace ships, one of which opened its hatch,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a figure stood on it, shouting towards him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Upper Envoy, the operation has begun, we are here to retrieve you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Up...per Envoy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three question marks popped up on Chen Qiusheng’s forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Upper Envoy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind slightly stalled, seeing two familiar figures stepping through the air, one was Governor Zhao Wenting,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the other was his second junior brother, Director of the Investigation Branch, Chongyang City’s Garrison, Chen Daoling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Qiusheng saw the thirty-six aerospace ships turning their cannons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heavy cannons fired in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One blinding beam after another tore through the air, aiming at the two top-tier Grandmasters who had ignited four furnace fires,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>this barrage could evaporate and tear apart several blocks, but against two top-tier Grandmasters?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Qiusheng shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw Zhao Wenting and Chen Daoling, neither dodging nor evading, taking the full barrage head-on,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the two didn’t use Dharma Aspect, nor the four furnace fires, they fell from the Celestial Vault crying, bringing with them a trail of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They crashed to the ground with a thud, half of their bodies evaporated and extinguished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Qiusheng stared blankly at the two heavily injured Grandmasters, more question marks appeared on his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where is your Blood Rebirth?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where is your Sea of Qi and Blood??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where is your Kilometer Dharma Aspect???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Grandmasters struggled to their feet, supporting each other, without even using Blood Rebirth, letting the terrifying injuries remain visible, and then...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>limping away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, they ran away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chen Qiusheng!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two fleeing Grandmasters didn’t forget to turn back, roaring in anger:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You actually dare to rebel!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You actually dare to collude with the Evil Cult!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The roar echoed across half of the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Qiusheng snapped out of his stupor and quickly regained his senses:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You mother!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He laughed in anger, clumsy methods, ridiculous framing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does it work?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Chen Qiusheng didn’t understand how the Governor got involved with Chen Daoling and Zhang Fusheng, but such lowly tricks...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up, seeing the thirty-six aerospace ships that came to ’rescue’ him, hearing the loud prayers coming from within—the prayers to the Evil God of the Western Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well well well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even bothering to act anymore, are we?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Qiusheng chuckled lowly, Zhang Fusheng’s figure flashed in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this your foolish, laughable scheme?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the face of absolute power...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He moved his body, the special shackles that could restrain Grandmasters shattered inch by inch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the face of absolute power, all schemes seem laughable...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Buzz!!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four furnace fires ignited, a colossal Dharma Aspect of over a kilometer rose from the ground, at a single thought, ten miles transformed, wind, thunder, rain, snow appeared all at once!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng sat on the edge of a rooftop on a building, legs dangling, holding a bag of chips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Crunch!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He crunched a chip, chewing, gazing at the daunting dark red Dharma Aspect a kilometer high,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>feeling the immense oppressive force even from such a distant range,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng remarked in amazement:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this a Grandmaster with all four furnace fires lit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Grandmaster, by igniting the body furnace fire, gains the divine technique of Blood Rebirth, solidifying the Dharma Aspect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By lighting the Qi Blood furnace fire, the Dharma Aspect surges from over two hundred meters to a kilometer, with a mere gesture, an entire block can be effortlessly erased!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Spirit furnace fire ignites, the Divine Realm slowly evolves towards a Domain, forming what is known as a Dharma Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A century of spiritual accumulation can result in a Dharma Realm spanning a kilometer in diameter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if the Heaven and Earth furnace fire ignites lastly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One can replace the will of the heavens with one’s own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The celestial phenomena, the seasons, all altered with one’s own thoughts, a word for wind and there is a gale, a word for snow and ten years of heavy snow may fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With every gesture, the Power of Heaven and Earth clings to the body, with a casual strike, ten miles are turned to ash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Qiusheng stands in this domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Crunch!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng crunched yet another chip, seeing the terrifying kilometer-high Dharma Aspect open its eyes, gazing across dozens of miles, focusing on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt himself locked by this tremendously powerful presence, muscles trembling, hair standing on end, blood flow halting!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both are Grandmasters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difference between a Great Sect and a Great Sect can be as vast as heaven and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four furnace fires, to kill a single furnace fire?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within a hundred breaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng, expressionless, chewed the chips, swallowed them, grinning towards the terrifying Dharma Aspect that was staring at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his mouth, silently mouthing—’Kill me?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kilometer Dharma Aspect smiled a little, ignoring Zhang Fusheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Qiusheng knew, his urgent task at hand, was to remove the unjust accusation placed upon him—how to remove it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Destroy these thirty-six aerospace ships.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a boldly conspicuous manner, under the watchful eyes of the entire city, destroy them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sea of Spirit seethed and rolled,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>above the kilometer Dharma Aspect, dazzling golden light blossomed, one hand of the Dharma Aspect pointing to the sky, the other touching the ground, resembling—a Tathagata!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Chen Qiusheng practices is the Tathagata Observation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All beings honor me as Tathagata.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dharma Realm unfolds, everything within six kilometers, all at my heart’s whim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tathagata Dharma Aspect opened its eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the watchful gaze of the entire city, amid the horror-stricken stares of numerous foreign cultists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the Dharma Aspect opened its eyes, all was suddenly silent in the world, the cloud sea rolling across the sky like a gigantic hand smoothing it down, abruptly froze,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a single golden light blossomed behind the head of the Tathagata Dharma Aspect, the lotus seat appeared, pure and immaculate,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>like the simultaneous chanting of a thousand Bhikkhus, echoing endlessly, increasing in volume, increasing in volume!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Qiusheng stared blankly at his own Dharma Aspect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When..... did I become so
