Chapter 240 This gate is forbidden to gods and demons!
As the true appearance of Lin Fan's courtyard house was revealed, the global spiritual energy experienced a rapid recovery.
The strongest individuals from all over the world have turned their attention to the capital city of the Eastern Continent.
That place is the origin of a new era.
There lies the ultimate treasure, capable of changing one's destiny.
That place was the destination they had pursued their entire lives.
In an instant, global events converged on the capital.
Someone rode in a private jet covered with an electromagnetic shield, cutting through the sky.
Someone is piloting a yacht made from the skeleton of a deep-sea behemoth, cleaving through the vast waves.
Some even traversed mountains and tore through seas of clouds with their bare bodies, heading towards that ancient city.
Beijing instantly became the epicenter of a global storm.
Heirs of ancient martial arts families, leaders of superpowered organizations wielding mysterious authority, super soldiers wielding cutting-edge technology... countless legendary figures emerge from the shadows.
They were clad in ancient armor or nanotech combat suits, and their eyes burned with the same flame—greed.
They have only one goal.
Lin Fan's courtyard house.
However, when these powerful figures finally arrived at that ordinary alleyway, everyone stopped in their tracks.
Breathing also stopped.
The courtyard walls are no longer made of blue bricks and gray tiles, but instead flow with mysterious golden patterns, their brilliance restrained, as if engraving the ultimate truths of heaven and earth.
Inside the courtyard, the fairy flowers bloom and wither with each breath, in an endless cycle.
The spiritual energy condensed into a thin mist visible to the naked eye, and even transformed into the shapes of cranes and unicorns, circling and dancing in the courtyard, before finally dissipating into pure energy.
A colossal tree, reaching to the heavens and the earth, stands tall in the center of the courtyard. Its branches and leaves, as if carved from jade, gently unfurl and envelop the entire courtyard.
Simply standing at the entrance of the alley, breathing in the wisps of spiritual energy emanating from the courtyard, caused their bottlenecks to loosen and their power to surge.
This is not a courtyard at all.
This is clearly a divine kingdom!
After a brief period of deathly silence, an even more frenzied eruption followed!
"A miracle! This is absolutely an Eastern miracle!"
"Charge! Whoever gets it first will be the only god of this new era!"
The leader, a blond man with bulging muscles and lightning crackling beneath his skin, was the Western world's recognized S-class lightning master, codenamed "Zeus".
He was the first to move.
He transformed into a blinding bolt of lightning, carrying the force of a thunderbolt, and reached out to grab the wall.
He wants to possess this entire divine kingdom for himself!
His fingertips were about to touch the shimmering wall.
In an instant.
"Bang!"
A soft, muffled thud, as if it were just dust being brushed off.
The fervor in Zeus's eyes froze instantly, replaced by endless horror.
A force that cannot be described in any language or explained by any physical law emanated from the wall.
That's not a counter-shock.
That was a form of "expulsion".
It was as if his lightning bolt was merely a speck of dust in this sacred realm, casually brushed away by its master.
Zeus, the powerful being who could summon thunder, was sent flying backward at ten times the speed he had come from. His body lost all its power in mid-air, like a puppet with its strings cut.
"Thump!"
He crashed heavily against the wall at the end of the alley, slid to the ground, his bones shattered inch by inch, and his proud lightning ability was completely extinguished, unable to even generate a spark.
Dead silence.
In the alley, you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone was terrified by this bizarre scene.
"Zeus...has been defeated?"
"No, that wasn't a battle, that was... being wiped out."
A subordinate, his voice trembling, ran over and tried to help Zeus up.
But his captain, the former Thor, was now bleeding from all seven orifices, his throat gurgling, and his eyes, fixed on the courtyard wall, were filled with nothing but primal fear.
"The wall...that wall..."
Everyone then seemed to wake up from a dream.
A swordsman from Japan slowly drew his demonic sword from his waist. The blade hummed and emitted an ominous red light.
He doesn't believe in superstitions.
He took a step forward, the tip of his blade imbued with the sword intent of his entire life, and thrust it towards the wall.
"Bang!"
Another muffled sound.
The demonic sword shattered into pieces, and the sword saint himself, along with his ancient samurai attire, was pushed away by a gentle yet irresistible force, crashing next to "Zeus," his fate unknown.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The unwilling strongmen, whether using technological weapons or activating family secret techniques, always met with the same result with each attempt.
He was bounced away.
He was thrown out.
It was smashed to pieces.
The cries of agony rose and fell, but more than anything, there was a deathly silence after the collapse of faith.
They were completely crushed.
They swept across a country, overthrew a regime, and were regarded as gods by countless people.
But here, they don't even have the right to touch a wall.
"Retreat... Everyone, retreat immediately!"
Someone let out a mournful roar.
The crowd instantly collapsed. Those once-arrogant powerhouses scrambled and crawled away from the alley that had terrified them, as if they were being chased by gods and demons.
Inside the courtyard house.
Under the shade of the World Tree, Lin Fan lay on a rocking chair, gently swaying.
He seemed to sense something and frowned slightly.
"There are so many flies lately."
He rolled over, adjusted to a more comfortable position, and continued to enjoy the rare tranquility of the afternoon.
It was as if everything that had just happened was nothing more than a few flies hitting the window and making a few annoying buzzing sounds.
