Chapter 1737 - 894: If You Refuse, Then Fight!

It's like how no matter who it is, once they've got themselves a piece of land, they immediately start wondering what to plant on it…

With a craftsman, things like morality and character can be put aside for now, ability and talent can be ignored too, but if you can become Tian Yuan's Chosen One, the one thing your eyes really can't stand is waste.

The point is to make the best use of everything.

Take the Seven Cities, for example.

It's rare to get such a huge piece of territory into your hands; how could you not do whatever you want with it?

Time to do something big, something world-shaking!

Back in Central Earth, with war everywhere, there were no conditions; in the Federation, shackles everywhere made it hard to stretch your arms—but in the Seven Cities, what is there you can't do if you want to?

First, build a spectacle!

So, after slapping his thigh, Ji Jue said he'd do it and did it, bringing out the initiative worthy of a crown-bearer, burying himself in tinkering with his own little plot of land.

Forget about so-called century-old ginseng or thousand-year polygonum—those don't even make the list. Don't even mention the massive consumption of materials. First, he took a knife to the old Lighthouse structure, and after drastic overhauls, he linked in the Heavenly Essence Law constructed by Chixiao as the foundation… Then, with the Paradise System's full-scale control, the massive number of Fly King's Spirits each coordinated to their roles, using the curtain as the main body to contain everything, and stuffed in the vast spiritual supply from Young Master Lou—finally, he tacked on a complete control framework of workshops.

The many theories derived from Nine Forms were revised and verified within this entirely new framework, then he loaded in a whole pile of vicious tricks that could see the light of day and those that absolutely couldn't, and paired it all with Isis's exquisite control—and just like that, the new Seven Cities Defense System was complete!

But Ji Jue preferred to call it Damocles.

The so-called [Sword of Damocles]!

As a deterrent, it hangs high above the head of any intruder who dares step into the Seven Cities' domain, ready at any moment to strike them down with Thunderbolt. Judged purely as a defense system, it's practically flawless.

But its truly important function is outward-facing…

The meaning of the Sword of Damocles is a sword hanging over other people's heads!

As long as the Damocles system framework is intact, whenever Ji Jue is in a bad mood, he can at any moment "open a third eye" right in the forehead of some idiot who doesn't know his place!

Like right now.

The Sword of Damocles, condensed from boundless blazing light, was frozen in the pitch-black night sky, silently hanging high, rotating, Flame Light surging, stabbing pain into every pair of eyes.

Right then, down in the city, the rampaging giant beast slowly raised its head, as if it had seen a pair of contemptuous eyes looking down from between the stars.

Immediately after, the Sword of Damocles seemed to be gripped by an invisible hand, and oh-so-nimbly descended from the firmament, cutting through the mortal world, smooth and effortless as flowing clouds and water.

In the stunned gaze of who knew how many people, an ear-splitting, shrill scream suddenly exploded. The giant beast, its whole body covered in thick carapace, was in that snap of the fingers sliced cleanly from top to bottom, right down the middle into two equal halves!

Precision so extreme it was obscene.

Not a fraction too much, not an inch too little!

As if a Swordsmith a thousand miles away were personally wielding the blade.

But there was already no difference from Ji Jue controlling it himself; the spiritual fragments fused into the Sword of Damocles were still resonating with Chun Jun at every moment, and even across thousands of miles, it moved as if it were his own arm, not the slightest trace of delay.

The shrill scream cut off abruptly.

The beast that had been split into two froze where it stood, petrified, locked in place… Its terrifying Life Force that could heal even from pulverization seemed to have vanished.

The giant beast they'd placed such high hopes on actually fell utterly silent under that single stroke.

To the point that its controller couldn't help but have his eyes almost burst, seething with rage.

This is that terrifying tenacity you bastards swore up and down about when you sold this to me? This is the perfect resistance and toughness you claimed your so-called Evolution Theory products would bring?

This is bullshit!

"Move!"

On a fishing boat just off Shiye's coast, the Observer was fuming, eyes locked on the controller soaking in the huge fish tank, roaring, "You dumbfucked idiot, what are you still spacing out for?!"

"So… so… so hot… so…"

In the nearly boiling tank, wrapped in dozens of external secondary brains, the controller's entire body spasmed uncontrollably, twitching in agony. His pair of pale eyes suddenly flew wide, and he let out a bloodcurdling scream:

"It burns!"

In that instant, blazing light burst from the blank pupils and gaping mouth.

It was as if invisible flames were spewing from his mouth and nose. The controller in the tank detonated all at once, and the purple-black Fierce Flame surging from his ruined body completely vaporized the huge volume of nutrient solution. Rampaging arcs of electricity tore the tank apart and swallowed the entire inner hold of the fishing boat.

With a thunderous boom, the boat shattered into pieces and sank to the bottom of the sea.

Meanwhile, up on Shiye, that rigid giant beast finally opened its mouth in a soundless wail, and then, under the sea wind sweeping over it, began to crack inch by inch, collapse, and turn to dust.

The ashes spread like mist, turning into a downpour that fell across every stunned face.

Like some cheap knockoff.

So much so that at this moment on Shiye, the other hiders were already dumbstruck, unable to comprehend: Seriously? We burned that much money on a limited-edition model, and it's this useless?

Just how much had those dog-fucked idiots at the Longevity Association ripped them off for?

Soon, they understood… just how high the actual tech content of this monster was.

Because up in the firmament, that burning sword of Fierce Flame was raised once more.

Without the slightest warning, it came cleaving down toward the hiders in the shadows!
