Chapter 72 The Key to Destruction - Judgment of Heavenly Fire
It was an exquisitely designed pistol, with a long, sleek barrel and smooth lines, featuring an overall black and white color scheme.
The barrel gleamed with a metallic sheen, and the edge of the muzzle was adorned with a ring of gilded decoration, as if it had been scorched by flames.
The most eye-catching item is the fragment of the Lawyer's Core embedded in the safety pin.
This crimson core, like a burning flame, provides the weapon with a continuous source of energy.
Lin Qiong recognized it at a glance; it was the seventh divine key, known as the one with the strongest destructive power—the Heavenly Fire Judgment.
"System! System! Didn't I unlock the 'Preservation' destiny?"
Looking at the weapon that appeared in his hand, Lin Qiong called out to the system in his mind with a puzzled expression.
【Ding! 】
[That's right, the host has unlocked the "Preservation" destiny.]
"Then why did you bring out the Heavenly Fire Judgment for me? How am I supposed to 'protect' this thing?"
Lin Qiong was now filled with questions. He really couldn't understand how the Heavenly Fire Judgment could be related to "preservation".
Judging from the destructive power of the fully unleashed Heavenly Judgment, it should be destined for "destruction".
【Ding! 】
Please explore on your own.
The system's cold, mechanical voice echoed in Lin Qiong's mind. Its words were always so concise, without any unnecessary words or even a shred of information.
"Sigh, fine, fine."
Lin Qiong sighed helplessly. He was already used to the system's cold and concise reply.
Nevertheless, he still has a very crucial question that needs to be answered.
With these questions in mind, Lin Qiong asked the system again, "System! System! If I unleash the full power of Heavenly Fire Judgment, will there be any side effects?"
His tone was serious, clearly indicating that the answer to this question was of great importance to him.
After all, when the Heavenly Judgment is used at zero rated power, the raging flames will engulf both the enemy and the user.
If it weren't for a life-or-death situation, who would willingly perish together with the enemy for no reason?
However, the system still adheres to its principle of not saying a single extra word.
Please explore on your own.
No, buddy, don't mess with this new account. How do I explore this?
Try it and you'll die? That's way too exaggerated.
The system's response left Lin Qiong speechless, but in order to find out whether this thing had any side effects, he had to ask the system again.
"System, you really have to answer this question for me, this is no joke."
No matter how Lin Qiong called out, the system remained silent, as if it had not heard his request.
Oh no, the system's pulled this stunt again.
Lin Qiong inwardly groaned. He knew very well that he would not get the answer from the system and would have to test it himself.
Just as Lin Qiong reluctantly accepted this reality.
A hand suddenly reached out in front of him, waving gently, as if trying to bring his thoughts back to reality.
Upon seeing this, Lin Qiong suddenly came to his senses and followed the hand to Xing beside him.
"what happened to you?"
Xing noticed that Lin Qiong was staring intently at the weapon in his hand, his expression becoming increasingly solemn, and couldn't help but ask him with concern.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong gently shook his head. "It's nothing, I was just thinking about some unpleasant things."
Just then, a sudden whooshing sound rang out, and a huge ice spike, carrying a chilling aura, rapidly hurtled towards Lin Qiong and Xing's location.
"Whoosh."
Sharp icicles sliced through the air, piercing the howling winds of Yongdong Ridge, seemingly lowering the surrounding temperature considerably.
This sight made Xing's pupils shrink suddenly. She quickly reversed her hand and held the Flame Spear upside down in front of her.
The flames flowing on the flaming spear ignited instantly, rapidly expanding until they transformed into a blazing shield in front of the two men.
"Clang."
The rapidly flying ice spikes struck the fiery shield with a crisp sound.
In an instant, sparks and ice shards burst forth in all directions, like a firework blooming on the ground.
"Wow, Cocolia, you're so despicable! You actually launched a sneak attack!"
Seeing this, Lin Qiong pointed at Cocolia with a surprised expression, his words full of accusation.
"Hmph." Cocolia snorted coldly, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes, not taking Lin Qiong's words to heart.
With a wave of her hand, countless ice spikes appeared out of thin air around her, gleaming with a chilling light in the pale sunlight.
Then, with a thought, Cocolia manipulated countless ice spikes, which instantly poured out and flew towards Lin Qiong and Xing like a locust swarm.
"Ding-dong, ding-dong."
The ice spikes rained down on the fiery shields in front of the two men, producing a series of crisp clanging sounds.
Xing frowned, her body tense, her hands gripping the flame spear tightly as she desperately defended against Cocolia's attacks.
At this moment, fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, glistening in the firelight from the flaming spear.
"Qiong, please help me, I'm a little... unable to hold on any longer."
Xing's voice carried a hint of urgency.
At this moment, the fiery shield that had been burning in front of her gradually dimmed, and the solidified form began to become somewhat illusory, as if foreshadowing that the defense was about to reach its limit.
"coming!"
Upon hearing Xing's request, Lin Qiong immediately opened his left hand, making a loose grasping motion.
Drawn by some mysterious force, the crimson flames continuously converged towards his palm.
In a short while, the flames gradually solidified, and another black and white pistol with a red gem embedded in the safety pin appeared in his hand.
"Let me think, if I remember correctly, it should be like this, right?"
Lin Qiong muttered to himself, as if confirming a certain idea in his mind.
He slowly connected the two pistols in his hands, the Heavenly Fire Judgment.
At that moment, the Herrscher cores embedded in the safety bolts of the two guns seemed to resonate with each other, and began to emit a dazzling light.
As the brilliance of the gemstone intensified, the overall form of the Celestial Judgment underwent a stunning transformation.
As if given life, the two pistols began to extend and transform automatically, their shafts gradually stretching out and eventually combining ingeniously to form a magnificent sword hilt.
The two crimson gems merged together very naturally, as if they had always been one.
The fused crimson gem shone brilliantly in the center of the sword hilt, constantly radiating a destructive, intense heat.
At the same time, a burst of intensely hot flame, like molten gold, shot into the sky from the hilt of the sword. The rolling flames gradually condensed into the sword body, eventually forming a greatsword.
"This power..."
Dan Heng frowned slightly, a serious expression on his face.
He realized that the power emanating from Lin Qiong at this moment was strikingly similar to the power he had felt from Walter Yang.
Meanwhile, outside of the Yalilo-6, inside the observation carriages of the Starry Sky Train...
"Da da da—"
Walter Young's footsteps echoed in the spacious carriage as he paced back and forth in the observation car, each step revealing his inner anxiety and unease.
"Hey Lao Yang, what's wrong with you? You've been pacing back and forth nonstop since just now, it's making me dizzy."
Himeko's voice suddenly rang out in the carriage.
She was sitting quietly in a corner of the carriage, her hands gently folded on her knees, her body slightly leaning forward, her bright eyes sparkling with curiosity.
Upon hearing Himeko's question, Walter Young stopped and gently pushed up his glasses.
"I don't know. I've had this strange feeling since just now, like... something is chasing me."
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the white-covered planet outside the carriage, a hint of barely perceptible worry in his voice.
"Perhaps you're too worried about them. Sit down and have a cup of coffee to calm down."
"Perhaps."
Upon hearing Himeko's words, Walter Young nodded, his eyes still showing a hint of contemplation.
He slowly turned around and sat back down on the sofa. "No need for coffee."
After speaking, Walter Yang's gaze lingered on the real-time image that had become somewhat blurry due to the influence of imaginary energy.
His brow furrowed slightly, and he muttered to himself in a voice only he could hear, "I have a bad feeling..."
