Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

In the second dining center of the National Arts Center, exclamations arose one after another.

“Is that Alta Devonshill! Is he dead?”

“How could this be? What exactly happened?”

“He was actually hung on a flagpole? When did this happen?”

“That can’t be possible, right? We haven’t felt any strong etheric fluctuations in the city just now. Is that body on the flagpole a clone?”

“It should be Alta Devonshill, I recognize him and his two business partners. This doesn’t seem like an Illusion Technique or clone subterfuge; it makes no sense.”

“The problem is, Alta Devonshill was at the Ninth Realm Emperor Rank, when I spoke to him on the phone earlier, his convoy had already entered the city center, who could have done this?”

“The key is the timing, after you finished talking with Alta Devonshill, only 12 minutes had passed.”

“No! It could be less than two minutes. Look at the video I posted in the group chat. This was 6 minutes ago, footage of the Devonshill convoy entering the A42421 underground tunnel. Adding the time to hang Devonshill on the flagpole, it could be less than two minutes.”

Guests at each of the dining tables were discussing in muted tones, deliberately keeping their voices low to prevent Lin Rui from overhearing.

The many Eighth Realm masters who previously tried to pressure him with Divine Thought all simultaneously withdrew their divine intent.

However, they all looked at Lin Rui with eyes filled with shock and incomprehension, and at the same time, intense wariness.

“This is madness! One 9SS, plus two 8SS, and more than 30 experts from the Sixth and Seventh Realms were taken care of in just a few seconds, without causing any noticeable elemental power fluctuations. Was it done by that young—by Lin Rui? How did he do it?”

“It must have been Linghu Mingde, right? It must have been him.”

“It wasn’t him, I’ve confirmed it. Mr. Yang had a dinner appointment with Linghu Mingde tonight. He said that Linghu Mingde was always in front of him, never out of his sight, and perhaps even Linghu Mingde couldn’t have managed this?”

“So, it wasn’t Ms. Qiu either. It seems that Lin Rui cannot be underestimated! Director Qi and the rest have underestimated his strength. This young man didn’t get this far just by relying on the Linghu Family.”

“Indeed! Lin Rui’s background might not be as simple as we’ve investigated. Just think about it, how did a student with cultivation only at the Fourth Realm manage to gather so many Dragon Transformation Masters?”

“Look at those two next to him, that’s Wang Tianwu and Lu Hanyuan. That Wang guy, well, anyone with money is his mother, but Lu Hanyuan is not someone who can be easily recruited by just anyone.”

While everyone was discussing fervently, Fang Ranran looked at the scene outside the glass curtain wall, equally shaken and lost in thought.

She turned her head and looked at Lin Rui with an incredulous gaze: “Xiao Rui, did you do this?”

This guy actually took care of Alta Devonshill.

Fang Ranran immediately felt that her words were inappropriate; wasn’t this handing others ammunition?

The Earth Federation, although it had gradually fallen into the hands of numerous Congressional Honorary Members, still ostensibly was a legal society.

Beyond the law was public opinion; the media of the Federation and independent media were very developed, all adept at stirring up disputes and causing trouble.

Here in public, one slip of the tongue could bring about great trouble for Lin Rui.

So, she shook her head and changed the subject: “Has the trouble from before been dealt with?”

Lin Rui smiled slightly, “Not completely settled, as you can see, there’s still plenty of trouble here. A herd of demons and monsters, a swarm of malevolent spirits.”

This remark made the many Eighth Realm Martial Cultivators in the restaurant darken their faces, their eyes seething with anger.

But these people were all silent, sitting in their places without uttering a word, casting a heavy and oppressive atmosphere over the entire dining center.

Lin Rui waved his hand, signaling the waiter beside him to leave: “But rest assured, the demons and ghouls from the sewers are nothing to worry about. Whoever dares to reach out to our company, Lin will kill them!”

At this moment, he unexpectedly turned his head and looked towards the Congressional Honorary Member and chairman of the Tianquan Biological Company, Qi Tianquan.

Their gazes met, as if sparks were flying between them.

Qi Tianquan’s eyes displayed a flash of rage and murderous intent, yet his expression was somewhat surprised.

Lin Rui not only dared to meet his gaze, but he also showed no sign of retreat under the oppressive might of his Divine Thought.

–Is this really someone from the Fourth Realm?

Qi Tianquan longed to respond to Lin Rui’s provocation, but the death of Alta Devonshill made him shiver inwardly, forcing him to exercise some restraint.

After all, within the entire Earth Federation, only a rare few could kill Alta Devonshill in mere seconds. They were either Ninth Realm Monarchs who possessed 9SSS+ level Extreme Secret Techniques, or Super Monarchs of Ninth Realm and beings of Divine Envoy Level!

Qiu Jingshu looked at Lin Rui with increased admiration.

In her mind, she wondered if this was the ‘Hidden Crown Prince’ of the Great Song Dynasty? His tactics and presence were extremely domineering and strong, far surpassing her old man when he was younger.

The “Hidden Crown Prince” mentioned here does not refer to the hidden prince of some ancient dynasty in East Asia, but it is the nickname given to Lin Hao by the court and the people within the Great Song.

Just as their standoff resembled thunder against fire from a distance and the atmosphere in the dining center grew colder, they both simultaneously turned their heads to watch a holographic video projection being displayed in the center of the dining center.

Not just the two of them, everyone present turned to look in the direction of the video.

The video, meant to entertain the dining guests and provide some news information, played on holographic television.

The volume of the TV was set to the lowest, but that did not hinder the many Armored Martial Cultivators present from watching.

“–We interrupt with a breaking news announcement. Just ten minutes ago, the Second Starship Group Commander of the Federation’s Star Navy, Zang Shaochen, decided to surrender himself to the Capital Police Headquarters. This is the footage captured by our reporters, Zang Shaochen has arrived at the police headquarters under heavy military and police escort.”

“Zang Shaochen, also known as ‘Star Sea White Wolf’, was born in 3821 and is the ninth generation Alien Walker of the Federation and one of the fourteen known 9SSS level Biochemical Martial Cultivators. He assisted the Federation in quelling the Divine Illumination Association rebellion 212 years ago and soon after took office as a Congressional Honorary Member and Commander of the Second Starship Group until now.”

“Not long ago, Zang Shaochen became involved in a blasphemy incident in Luojing of the Great Song and personally attempted to assassinate the Great Song’s Spy Detection Bureau Commander, Lin Hao, triggering the wrath of the East Abyss and leading the Great Song’s Honglu Temple to issue an ultimatum to the Federation, with Zang Shaochen named as someone the East Abyss insisted must be punished.”

“Ladies and Gentlemen, we can see that Zang Shaochen has stopped on the steps of the police station; it seems he is willing to accept an interview. Let’s hear what he has to say.”

Lin Rui watched as Zang Shaochen stood on the last step of the Capital Police Department, looking down at the reporters in front of him and the plethora of microphones nearly shoved into his face.

His silver-white long hair fluttered in the wind, and his handsome face was pale and bloodless, emitting a sense of melancholy and desolation.

“You ask me why I surrendered? Whether I think I am guilty? That’s a good question.”

Zang Shaochen seemed to laugh sarcastically, or perhaps mockingly at himself: “I have never thought myself guilty, everything I do is for the Federation, for humanity. The reason I come to surrender today is simply because the Federation needs me to plead guilty. Only by my confession and surrender can we avoid war and open the gates of trade with Sky Etreme Star. I, Zang Shaochen, am willing to sacrifice for the Federation.”

He paused in his speech, lifting his gaze to look into the distance: “Taking this opportunity, I also have a word to tell the people of the Federation, as long as humans do not master Biochemical Martial Arts of Immortal Level and Abyss Level, we are always in danger of extinction. Those Abyss from Sky Etreme Star will eventually make a move against the Earth Federation, they will surely destroy our civilization and enslave our humanity.”

After saying these words, Zang Shaochen turned and walked into the police station under the escort of numerous military and police officers.

Against the background of the upward-angled cameras, he appeared tragically desolate, yet resolute and proud.

Lin Rui watched this scene on the television, uttering a cold chuckle as he tapped on the dining table with his fingers, his eyes filled with deep contemplation.
