The scorching white radiance, empowered by both the soul and the battle armor's might, possessed the ability to instantly melt the earth.
At the bottom of the crater, Chen Luo, his eyes reflecting the blinding white of the light pillar, remained remarkably calm.
"As long as my output doesn't exceed the limit, the Great Origin won't retaliate too strongly!"
"So what I need to adapt to is this overly weak output limit!"
"As for how to adapt? Heh, isn't this a good target right before me?!"
The energy pillar descending from the sky carried a terrifying aura of destruction.
Yet, Chen Luo stood at the bottom of the crater, gently raising a palm and blocking it without any fanfare.
His palm rose incredibly slowly, while the light pillar fell with extreme speed.
But the moment the energy pillar descended, Chen Luo's palm, palm facing upwards, was perfectly positioned above his head.
The energy pillar was formless, merely a concentrated beam of light energy gathered by the battle armor and unleashed as a killing move through the power of the soul and battle armor.
But at this instant, as Chen Luo's palm made direct contact with the light pillar,
The descending light pillar seemed to gain substance and abruptly halted!
The light cannon, which should have been a mere energy attack, actually stopped just above Chen Luo's palm.
Wei Wu above was oblivious. He merely continued to frantically amplify the output of his light cannon, as if venting his frustration.
And as the Dragon Rider's energy output continued to increase, the light pressure on Chen Luo's palm grew stronger and stronger!
The three individuals behind Chen Luo were utterly stunned.
"Catching an energy cannon with bare hands?! Mr. Chen, just how strong are you?!"
"Ababa ababa ababa!"
"Uncle! Awesome!!"

...
Gazing at the base of the solidified light cannon above, a hint of understanding flashed through Chen Luo's mind.
"As expected, Domain-level bodies possess many mysteries. Even energy attacks can be touched by my physical form!"
The Domain level was a special transitional stage between Tier 2 and Tier 3.
At this level, Domain users gradually acquired various extraordinary abilities.
The physical body beginning to energize was a hallmark of Tier 2.
And the ability to freely manipulate external foreign energy was a partial characteristic of the Domain.
Therefore, catching an energy cannon with bare hands was essentially a basic operation for a Domain-level entity.
It was even possible for certain monsters to shake the energy streams rampant after a nuclear explosion with nothing but their physical bodies, without using any skills.
"Then, let me experience it properly!"
His thoughts flowed in less than the time it takes for a finger to snap, and Chen Luo's other hand clenched into a fist, simultaneously smashing towards the base of the solidified light cannon above with lightning speed!
The moment the fist struck, its destructive power already surpassed the world's carrying capacity!
Pitch-black cracks were forcefully carved out along the path of the fist's movement.
A large amount of Great Origin energy simultaneously suppressed Chen Luo's power, while also mending the spatial cracks that had been broken open.
"The displayed power was suppressed by 99% in an instant, and the suppression speed has also increased. It seems the Great Origin is becoming more adept at handling my issues."
It wasn't an illusion; Chen Luo indeed sensed a faint, indiscernible emotion of displeasure.
Moreover, Chen Luo had a premonition that if he continuously tried to break through the limits, the Great Origin's approval would plummet, possibly turning into hatred and rejection.
"I feel like I'm bullying the Great Origin a bit, but it's fine, I'm gradually getting the hang of it."
The striking fist, naturally, did not get annihilated like the giant rock he had thrown earlier.
However, the power it carried had rapidly reduced to just a sliver stronger than the light cannon.
Chen Luo had adapted!
Wei Wu, who was frantically increasing the load on his light cannon output above, suddenly felt a sense of unease. He instinctively wanted to activate his battle armor to investigate,
But!
Roar!!
Within the deep cave, it was as if a true dragon had let out a furious roar!
Wei Wu, suspended in mid-air, felt as if he were being targeted by a ferocious beast. A chilling sense of crisis made him want to flee immediately without looking back!
The light cannon attack in his hands instantly halted, and the thrusters behind his battle armor engaged at full power.
He wanted to escape!!
But!
The moment the dragon's roar sounded, an even more intense crimson radiance surged upwards from the depths of the pit!
The blinding white light pillar did not last even a moment, shattering directly under the crimson radiance!
The crimson radiance, surging upwards, transformed into a crimson divine dragon, tearing apart the light cannon's energy beam and directly lunging to bite at the fleeing metal figure in the sky!
[Warning! High-threat energy attack incoming!]
[Evasion trajectory calculation in progress! Calculation failed! Unable to evade!!]
The battle armor's microcomputer, through the power of the soul, was synchronized with the Dragon Rider's thoughts.
The instant the alarm sounded, Wei Wu roared with eyes splitting open in fury!!
"Ahhhh!! Move for me!!!"
But!
It was futile!!
Boom!!!
The crimson dragon, flying back towards the heavens, instantly engulfed the silver-white metal figure entirely.
The battle armor, crafted from special alloys, now became the source of his agony.
His body, not having reached the Dragon Rider level, at this moment, under the impact of endless energy flow and terrifying high temperatures, experienced extremely dreadful pain.
Amidst a piercing scream, the silver battle armor, swallowed by the crimson dragon, shot straight into the sky. Only after breaking through the clouds did the agonizing scream abruptly cease!
In the distant Lu Family Manor, the family heads who were preparing for a celebration froze like statues.
It wasn't until the glass cup in the Lu Family Patriarch's hand fell to the ground with a crisp "bang" that
Everyone looked at each other in utter panic.
The next moment, without a word, these deathly afraid rats, without even uttering a few perfunctory words, hurriedly fled towards their own families.
The Dragon Rider was dead, what else was there to say? Prepare to run for your lives!!!
A moment later, the once bustling courtyard was left with only the dazed Lu Family Patriarch.
He gazed at the hole blasted into the sky in the distance, his entire body feeling as if his spine had been removed, and he collapsed onto the ground:
"It's over... the Dragon Rider is actually dead... it's over, we're all going to die..."
"Lin Family!! Lin Qing!!! You have no idea what kind of monster you've provoked!!"
"Nine Dragons!! They are the true rulers of this world!!!"
