CHAPTER 405: CHAPTER 405: FOUR S-CLASS POWERHOUSES GATHER, A FIERCE CLASH!

Chapter 405: Four S-Class Powerhouses Gather, A Fierce Clash!

"Old Han, what technique is that A-san using? His head’s been cut off, yet he’s still alive?"

Chen Ye couldn’t help but ask.

Han Li frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "There are quite a few similar abilities in the Lord God Space—for example, the super regeneration of Marvel mutants, abilities from supernatural replica worlds, and various props from game replica timelines... There’s simply too much stuff in the Lord God Space. All sorts of unknown abilities and props keep appearing, so many that even I haven’t heard of them all."

Hearing this, Chen Ye nodded.

He could already sense that his current body had an incredibly powerful regenerative ability.

Due to his extremely high constitution, even ordinary people have some healing power when injured—let alone someone like him.

It’s even possible that if Chen Ye lost a limb now, he could slowly regrow it.

However, the head is the most vital part of the human body. To have it severed and still remain alive despite being disconnected from the torso—that exceeds the norm. Without a special ability, that’s impossible.

Han Li added, "Don’t worry. Life-saving abilities like this aren’t handed out freely by the Lord God Space. Almost every such ability has an enormous cost to use. That A-san is definitely not as relaxed as he looks on the surface."

"Exactly!" Hu Zhong chimed in to Chen Ye, "Brother Chen, you burned me to death once before. If I didn’t happen to have an expensive substitution doll on me, I would’ve really died. And after using that doll, I was in a weakened state for three days. That’s why I surrendered so easily that time..."

Upon hearing that, Chen Ye had a clear understanding.

Up in the sky—

When Shaerman flew over to Adam, he immediately said, "Adam, I’ve suffered too much depletion. I can’t help you fight anymore."

Adam frowned at that, his expression full of disgust. He waved him off without even saying a word.

Although Shaerman was furious at Adam’s attitude, he couldn’t afford to dwell on it right now.

At this moment, he needed to return to his lair urgently.

Whoosh!

A sharp sound pierced the air.

Shaerman immediately flew off.

Watching this, Hu Zhong said grudgingly, "We’re just letting him go?"

Chen Ye replied, "Adam is the important one. As long as we take him down tonight, we’ll have plenty of chances to deal with that A-san later."

"Chen Ye’s right," Han Li nodded in agreement.

Hu Zhong found the logic reasonable and said nothing more.

Everyone’s gaze shifted back to Adam.

In terms of appearance, Adam could only be described as well-built—far from as muscular or imposing as Shaerman.

However, the pressure Adam gave off far surpassed Shaerman’s.

He simply stood there in the sky, yet made everyone on the ground feel suffocated.

Even Chen Ye had to stay fully alert, staring intently at Adam.

"Holy crap! Adam really showed up!"

Outside the Bureau’s walls, a reincarnator who was livestreaming shouted in shock, "So all the chaos tonight really was this guy’s doing... His aura is insane! I’m this far from him and still feel like I can’t breathe."

The livestream chat instantly exploded with comments...

"That bastard really is the strongest on Earth. Even through the screen, I can feel the pressure."

"No kidding. Adam’s a super-tier powerhouse. Just think about what that means!"

"Can the Bureau Chief actually beat him?"

"Even if he can’t, we still have to fight back—he’s already come knocking!"

"Brothers, focus on this livestream! This battle tonight concerns the fate of Xia Country—maybe even all of humanity!"

...

Up in the air—

Adam was also watching the three of them.

His gaze passed over Han Li and Hu Zhong, finally landing on Chen Ye.

He had interacted with the first two before and had some idea of their strengths.

Only Chen Ye remained a complete mystery.

According to CIA intel, this man’s background was nothing short of bizarre.

A vegetative patient for three years, he suddenly awoke and within a few months exhibited powerful flame-based abilities... And tonight, he unleashed attacks on par with S-Class reincarnators.

Truly bizarre in every aspect...

Of course, the Lord God Space had no shortage of bizarre individuals. Adam simply raised his level of attention toward Chen Ye, without overthinking it.

As for whether Chen Ye might be an extraterrestrial demon?

Adam didn’t even consider that.

After all, any such being appearing in another world would be immediately detected and marked by the Lord God Space.

In fact, Adam had recently killed quite a few extraterrestrial demons in replica worlds.

"Han! I’ll give you one more chance. Choose to join us now, and I’ll make you king of this place!" Adam suddenly spoke.

Han Li merely snorted coldly. "Barbaric fool, beyond reason!"

Adam’s face instantly darkened, then said, "So you’ve made the most foolish decision."

Clearly, this guy understood Chinese.

Or rather, all high-level reincarnators were essentially polyglots.

In the next moment—

Adam suddenly raised his hand, palm aimed at the three below.

Pop!

A ki blast shot from Adam’s hand like a bullet toward them.

Han Li’s expression changed. He raised both hands and shouted lightly, "Swift!"

Buzz!

A blinding golden light burst from the Reincarnation Bureau headquarters, rapidly spreading across all of Jing City. A massive defensive array formed, shielding the entire urban area.

Poof!

Adam’s ki blast struck the golden shield but didn’t cause an explosion—it simply vanished.

This proved that the formation Han Li had set up was no ordinary barrier.

It seemed to have redirected Adam’s attack elsewhere.

The powers of a Nascent Soul–stage cultivator were indeed formidable.

The radiant golden shield lit up the night sky over Jing City.

Many citizens, seeing the golden layer above their heads, couldn’t help but kneel down...

A real manifestation of a celestial being.

With this, Han Li’s reputation as a living immortal was solidified.

...

Up in the sky—

Seeing that his attack had no effect, Adam’s expression didn’t change. He even smiled.

"Impressive ability, Han."

Adam smiled and asked, "But maintaining a formation like this must consume enormous energy, right? How many more of my attacks can you redirect?"

Han Li snorted. "I can play with you until the end of time—try me if you don’t believe it!"

"Han! Are you really going to keep hiding like a turtle? Why not come up here and fight me in the sky?"

Han Li couldn’t be bothered to respond.

Adam kept speaking, now intentionally in loud, clear Chinese:

"You should understand well that holding the battle here is incredibly unfair to the over twenty million innocent civilians around! If I break your formation, it’ll be their lives on the line. Han, do you really not care about everyone here?"

Han Li’s expression sank.

Noticing Chen Ye seemed slightly stirred, Han Li immediately transmitted a message: "Chen Ye, don’t fall for it!"

The reason he used voice transmission was because Adam’s stats were extremely high—his mental attributes might be formidable as well. Speaking aloud might have been overheard.

Chen Ye settled down, quietly observing the situation.

"Enough nonsense, Claire. That talk is useless to me!" Han Li said coldly. "If you want to break the formation, it’s simple. Just use your signature move—Turtle School Ki Blast—and destroy the entire planet."

Adam merely smiled.

Destroy the Earth?

Unless he had gone insane or was on the verge of death, he would never do such a thing.

If Earth were destroyed, he’d lose his footing too. What would await him then could only be death.

Suddenly, Adam seemed to notice something. His expression shifted.

The next moment—

Whoosh!

A sharp gust tore through the air.

Adam dove straight toward the ground, showing no fear of Han Li’s formation.

Han Li’s expression changed.

He knew—only one thing could make Adam act so boldly: someone in hiding had made a move.

Immediately, Han Li went fully alert, expression grave, eyes scanning the surroundings.

Even so—

It was already too late.

A shadowy figure appeared ghost-like right before Han Li—silent, as though teleported in.

Then—

Han Li saw a pair of strange crimson eyes.

Sharingan!

In that instant, Han Li was caught off guard. His body froze, unmoving.

It must be remembered that Han Li was an S-Class reincarnator—a cultivator at the Nascent Soul realm!

A master of spells and mystic arts.

For someone to catch him so easily with illusion, the wielder of those Sharingan must be an utterly terrifying existence.

As Han Li lost his awareness and couldn’t move, the defensive formation he had been sustaining lost its source of energy and began to fade.

Without that barrier, Adam could break through unimpeded.

Whoosh!

A fierce gust swept in.

Adam had landed successfully and was throwing a punch straight at Han Li’s face.

This man, and his hidden accomplice, had coordinated with astonishing precision—executing a perfect strike.

If Han Li took that punch, death was guaranteed.

At this moment, he wasn’t even conscious—he couldn’t activate any defensive ability, even if he had one.

One could say Adam’s preparations tonight were extremely thorough—he had nearly pulled off a one-hit kill.

Why "nearly"?

Because—

He miscalculated one thing: the existence of Chen Ye!

...

Just as Adam’s fist was about to strike Han Li—

A figure suddenly stood between them and threw a punch of his own, clashing head-on with Adam.

BOOM!!

A deafening crash erupted.

It was like two moving continents had collided.

The void trembled. Air around them violently dispersed, forming a brief vacuum.

Then—

A massive shockwave burst forth from the clash of fists, sweeping in all directions and destroying everything in its path.

Whether it was Bureau Chief Han Li, Hu Zhong—who was also hit by the Sharingan—or the user of the Sharingan, all were blasted away by the shockwave...

The headquarters of the Reincarnation Bureau was instantly reduced to rubble.

Fortunately, when Shaerman first appeared and began shouting, all staff on duty had already been evacuated.

Otherwise, who knows how many would’ve been caught in the blast...

When the dust settled—

The wooden building was now a giant crater.

Houses within several hundred meters were all flattened.

This was the result of a single collision—just two fists!

At the edge of the crater, only two figures remained standing.

Chen Ye and Adam!

As for why Chen Ye wasn’t affected by the Sharingan—

It was thanks to the Sharingan user focusing entirely on Han Li in order to control him.

Combined with the fact that Chen Ye’s mental attribute now exceeded ten thousand—his spiritual power was overwhelmingly strong—he hadn’t been affected.

Otherwise, if even Han Li could fall under the illusion, then Chen Ye would’ve had no way to resist if he were targeted.

Just look at Hu Zhong—he was only partially affected, yet lost consciousness instantly...

...

"You?"

Adam stared at Chen Ye, shocked—almost in disbelief.

Even Shaerman, a superhuman-bloodline S-Class powerhouse, might not have withstood that punch.

"Who exactly are you?"

Chen Ye didn’t reply. He just looked at Adam, battle intent blazing.

That clash had shown him—Adam’s strength was overwhelming.

And that was just in his base state!

If Adam transformed into Super Tier-2, his strength would be unimaginable—likely not beneath Chen Ye’s own.

Truth be told, since his rise, Chen Ye had faced countless opponents. Most he could crush through sheer power. This was the first time someone had overpowered him in raw strength.

Cough cough!

A coughing sound broke out.

It was Han Li, who had stood up again and walked to Chen Ye’s side.

He first gave Adam a grim look, then turned to a figure cloaked entirely in black robes.

"You’re the fourth S-Class reincarnator—Spiritcaller?"

Although Han Li phrased it as a question, his tone was full of certainty.

Otherwise, with his level of spell mastery, ordinary ocular illusions wouldn’t work on him.

Only someone also at S-Class could catch him off guard like that.

And in the Lord God Space, there were currently only four S-Class reincarnators.

The other three were well-acquainted.

Only the fourth, known as the ’Spiritcaller,’ had never revealed their face—shrouded in mystery.

To think this person had been bought off by Adam, laying a deadly trap tonight for Han Li!

Han Li knew—if not for Chen Ye’s presence, his corpse tonight would not even be whole.

Remembering how close he came to death, Han Li’s expression turned ugly, his eyes filled with killing intent!

The black-robed figure politely bowed when hearing Han Li’s voice, then spoke:

"Yes, it’s me. I’m honored to witness all of your strength—truly eye-opening."

The voice was crisp.

It was a woman.

"Good."

Han Li spat the word with icy calm. He said nothing more—but his eyes never left Spiritcaller.

Clearly, he intended to settle this score.

Next time, it wouldn’t be so easy to catch him off guard.

"Han! Aren’t you going to introduce me?"

Seeing that Chen Ye still hadn’t spoken, Adam turned to Han Li.

"Anyone who can block my punch can’t be just an A-Class reincarnator... Han, did you bring him from a replica world? That’s unbelievable."

As far as they knew, native individuals from replica worlds couldn’t be brought into the real world.

The Lord God Space didn’t allow it.

And yet, now such a powerful being had appeared...
