# Chapter 1517: The Blade at the Throat
Even if Ba Di was unwilling, even if he was furious, what could he do?
He had just gone all out with his firepower, but had only killed about a hundred One-Eyed species! Yet the One-Eyed Army numbered tens of thousands! Ai Ge in the distance hadn't even moved, just watched from the sidelines!
The indestructible Star-Devouring Giant Worm, the powerful One-Eyed species, and the troublesome Rui Sen!
The Selfless Body couldn't be maintained much longer; his consciousness was blurring.
Faced with all this, what could he do?
He had boarded the moon full of hope, only to be met with such an ending?
Ba Di would never forget the last look Dai Zete gave him—it was reluctance, and even more, expectation.
Seeing Rui Sen charging, Ba Di's eyes were like a starving wolf.
"My ability! You won't take it!"
As he spoke, his body disintegrated into countless atoms, floating and flying through the void.
Rui Sen lunged and missed, cursing.
"Send people to chase! His atomic state won't last long! The rest, follow me to attack the Sea of Tranquility!"
"Ai Ge! Lead a team to attack other human settlements, don't give them any time to react!"
Immediately, a group of One-Eyed species activated long-range tracking reconnaissance to pursue the severely wounded and fleeing Ba Di.
The remaining One-Eyed species split into two groups, pushing forward along the Dawn Line.
Behind the crater, David, carrying a camera, had a pale face.
Although he had heard Boss Nan Shen's prediction earlier, who knew Maple Leaf Country would lose so quickly?
And they had even brought the Star-Devouring Giant Worm over!
(ꐦ°᷄益°᷅) "Damn!"
Cursing, David shouldered the camera and headed straight for the smallest group of the One-Eyed Army.
Dawn had arrived, the smoke of gunpowder silent.
...
At this moment, an unprecedented silence fell over Lan Xing.
Before the battle started, thousands of comments were posted per second, but after dawn arrived, for more than ten minutes, not a single comment appeared.
The instant the Star-Devouring Giant Worm burst out of the ground, it choked everyone's throat.
At the Maple Leaf Country Aerospace Center, all the staff stared blankly at the big screen, as silent as death.
A pin drop could be heard.
"Lord Dai Zete... dead? Space forces completely annihilated? Lord Ba Di missing?"
At the third second of the battle, when the Star-Devouring Giant Worm swallowed the Sand Sea Ark and half of the space forces in one bite, Maple Leaf Country had already lost.
This was simply a war with no chance of winning.
The appearance of the Star-Devouring Giant Worm even exceeded everyone's understanding.
It ruthlessly tore apart and crushed their excitement and expectations.
Odin suddenly stood up, his expression drastically changing, both hands gripping the table as he stared fixedly at the Star-Devouring Giant Worm.
"Even Ba Di's Helium Flash was useless? What is this thing!"
Pang Badi stared wide-eyed at the screen, his face gloomy.
He didn't even notice the cigar ash falling on his clothes.
Mi Ye was frighteningly quiet, watching the Star-Devouring Giant Worm on the screen; she felt an instinctive fear.
And she hadn't felt this in many years.
At the Pioneer Academy, the originally lively multimedia classroom fell completely silent.
The students stared blankly at the footage David had sent back, their backs already soaked with cold sweat.
A nation's efforts and elite forces were instantly devoured clean.
They even personally witnessed a Dao Heaven rank powerhouse fall on the moon.
Forced to self-destruct.
At this moment, even the old folks in the nursing home changed their expressions.
Xiao Chuihuo's large hand tightly gripped the wheelchair armrest, his eyes full of worry.
"What are those kids in Silver Moon City going to use to fight these monsters?"
The previous laughter and joy now seemed so ridiculous.
Qin Shou slumped on the stool, his face pale as paper: "Lan Xing... is it over? How could it be like this!"
Ye Xinghe opened his mouth to console, wanting to say that Boss Nan Shen was still on the moon, so many top combat forces were there, it would surely be fine.
But he couldn't bring himself to say it.
Looking back now, this kind of thinking was simply foolish.
Yes! With what to fight?
With their lives?
But if they don't fight, does humanity still have a future?
The combat preparations personnel in Silver Moon City also saw the situation at Chenghai.
Yet they could do nothing; under the current circumstances, every faction was too busy dealing with their own problems.
The One-Eyed species could attack at any time in any unexpected way.
What could be done, Hua Xia had already done before dawn.
The only thing left to do now was to prepare for battle.
Jiangnan didn't expect that Rui Sen would bring the Star-Devouring Giant Worm over; he was determined to crush all human settlements.
But this printing worm seemed bigger than when he last saw it?
Jiangnan had no good solution for this; after all, the Sheep Biscuit hadn't been unlocked yet.
Maple Leaf Country became the first sacrifice; Jiangnan could only hope the situation for other factions would be better.
Under the grand trend, individual power is as insignificant as dust, unless some force that transcends everything descends in a crushing manner.
Only then could the battle be turned around.
Too bad! Humanity doesn't have that.
And at this moment, only 7 minutes and 21 seconds had passed since dawn arrived.
After the initial shock, the people on Lan Xing finally came to their senses a bit.
Scattered comments appeared, but at this moment no one could get excited; fear and unease filled everyone's heart.
"Hey... we'll win, right? Maple Leaf Country just made a tactical mistake, right? Can someone tell me this is all a dream?"
"Win? How? What kind of monster is that giant worm? It doesn't even fit on the screen! Swallowed the settlement in one bite!"
"Ba Di! Pandora's box, a walking nuclear bomb, even he couldn't inflict a fatal wound on the Star-Devouring Giant Worm, which means humanity's strongest nuclear weapons are useless against it!"
"Pray! Bless my country's people on the moon, you must hold on!"
But can they really hold on? Perhaps the moment he chose to pray, he already knew the answer in his heart.
At this moment, people suddenly realized that their previous calmness, their certainty of human victory, their expectations for the future, that false confidence—
It was all nothing but beautiful fantasies, like bubbles that burst at a touch.
And what was happening on the moon right now—
That was the bloody reality.
They truly felt that the blade called death was already at their throats, slowly cutting through flesh.
Destroying hope, taking away the future.
Panic! Unease! Fear!
Only now did they realize what kind of earth-shattering crisis this was.
Too late!
Time won't stop; the war continues.
The One-Eyed Army led by Rui Sen had already charged to the Sea of Tranquility interstellar city.
The troops led by Ai Ge also arrived at the Eagle Country's Tianmu Base located at Red Bay.
At the same time, Ba Di, due to overusing the Selfless Body in atomic state, had already reverted to flesh and blood after a chase.
His consciousness was hazy, the world before him blurry, his head pounding as if about to explode, covered in blood.
But the Durian Pulp was all eaten, not a trace of spiritual energy left in his body.
His overloaded body made even the slightest movement excruciatingly painful.
Ba Di dragged his severely injured body, instinctively running through the lunar mare, completely spent.
Behind him, thousands of One-Eyed species pursued relentlessly; no matter how Ba Di tried to shake them off, he couldn't.
"Boom!"
Several Star Pupil Cannons blasted, sending Ba Di flying, his body a bloody mess, one leg missing.
But he didn't even have the strength for atomic recombination; he really couldn't run anymore.
Now Ba Di lay on the ground, using his hands to claw forward, dragging his body.
His steel-like teeth almost shattered as he crawled forward with difficulty.
"Can't die! I have to live! Can't sleep, I want to live! I have to live!"
"So many brothers' lives are still on my shoulders!"
He crawled forward inch by inch, his bloodshot eyes always fixed ahead.
Ba Di had never wanted to live so badly in any moment before.
But his body wouldn't allow it; his consciousness was so drowsy he couldn't even open his eyes. The overloaded Selfless Body had nearly wrecked Ba Di's physical form.
He couldn't even crawl anymore.
His fist slammed hard into the ground, nails digging deep into his palm, hot tears spilling.
"Useless! You useless piece of shit! No matter who dies, you damn well can't die!"
Ba Di struggled, using all his strength to crawl forward.
But behind him, over a thousand One-Eyed species gave chase.
"Still running? This human can really run! Finally caught him!"
"Cripple him first, dismantle him but leave him breathing, then deliver him to the Holy Envoy to absorb—his ability will be very useful!"
A group of One-Eyed species rushed over to deal with Ba Di, as if the outcome was already decided.
The people watching the dawn broadcast didn't even dare to look.
But just then, the screen shook, and a voice that had been suppressed for a long time came through.
"Damn it! A cameraman is also a person, and can also fight!"
"Think I'd let you bastards take him?"
David, who had been chasing all the way, didn't head to the interstellar city battlefield; instead, he followed the One-Eyed pursuit team, rushing as fast as he could, and finally caught up.
David directly jammed the camera onto his shoulder.
The view suddenly became first-person, with two arms wrapped in blazing flames entering the frame.
A peak Starlight rank aura erupted violently, as if it could kick open the door to Dao Heaven rank at any moment.
"Blazing Sky!"
"Boom!"
The screen was filled with endless flames, as the raging fire descended upon the One-Eyed species like a sky covering everything.
As far as the eye could see, there was only flame.
The One-Eyed species immediately spotted David charging out, but the sky-like fire pressed down, enveloping all of them.
The flames blocked their line of sight, preventing them from using visual targeting.
"Great Flame Emperor!"
A flame giant nearly a hundred meters tall took shape, holding two huge flaming maces, smashing them violently against the ground.
Magma sprayed, flames swept, obscuring their vision.
A sea of fire covering nearly ten thousand meters blazed fiercely; the One-Eyed species activated energy absorption mode, frantically siphoning the flames.
They searched everywhere for David's position but couldn't find him.
Looking back, the half-dead Ba Di was also gone.
"Tsk, chase!"
Several Star Pupil Cannons fired, the Great Flame Emperor was directly cut down, and the Blazing Sky was sliced to pieces.
Now David was carrying the deeply unconscious, half-dead Ba Di on one shoulder.
And the camera on the other shoulder, speeding across the lunar mare.
"Explosive Flame Propulsion!"
"Boom!"
Blazing flames erupted from behind David's legs, even forming Mach rings.
He dragged a long tail of flame, fleeing frantically across the lunar mare at a terrifying speed close to Mach 5.
He headed straight for the interstellar city battlefield, with over a thousand One-Eyed species in hot pursuit, refusing to let go.
David glanced back at the pursuers from time to time, sweat pouring from his forehead, face tense, feeling immense regret in his heart.
ﾚ(⚆益⚆‧̣̥̇)ﾍ: "Damn! Got carried away by passion, why did I have to get involved! I've broken the cameraman's cardinal rule!"
"Screwed, screwed~"
Then he tilted his head back, pulled a bottle of Green Stick from his backpack, drank it, and his speed surged.
Muttering, he left the pursuers farther behind.
