Chapter 1755: Black Barrier
And the entire city of Luo was merely a microcosm of the countless battlefields across the land of Hua Xia!
Those who defended the cities, when faced with a complete collapse of the front lines and forced to make a real choice, what would they choose?
Everyone understood that under such circumstances, facing the impossible, they should abandon the city and retreat, preserving their strength to counterattack after the initial wave.
But when truly faced with this situation, they couldn't bear to leave!
Looking back, there were the lights of ten thousand households, the myriad scenes of life!
Ordinary people were also human; they were the future of Hua Xia. Perhaps countless spirit warriors would be born from among these people in the future. How could they bear to abandon them?
How many cities fought to the last and still couldn't hold, swallowed up beneath the tide of beasts?
And this was only Hua Xia; the situation in other countries was even worse.
Under the moonlight, the city of Luo stood firm against the beast tide, embraced by the Tree of Life!
One hour, three hours, all the way into the dead of night!
During this time, Wang Gang organized the evacuation of personnel while stubbornly resisting the spirit beasts that broke through the Tree Kingdom's barrier.
And in the far distance, a blood-red torrent charged forward with an unstoppable momentum!
It rushed at extreme speed toward the city of Luo!
Tens of thousands of war giant rhinoceroses, one after another, like bulldozers, forcibly tore a rift through the vast, sea-like beast tide!
All spirit beasts that blocked their path were crushed and trampled to death!
On the backs of the war giant rhinoceroses, spirit-binding giant cannons were mounted, firing wildly as they charged and killed along the way!
It was the Beast Martial Legion from the Western Frontier!
Leading them were Pang Ju and Zi Yuan. From a distance, she could already see the towering tree within Luo City!
Several Dao Heaven beasts were besieging it!
Pang Ju's eyes were filled with ferocity. A tiger's roar echoed across the battlefield, and all spirit beasts trembled with fear, their bodies stiffening.
The polar day cloud sea spread out, and no one knew how many spirit beasts had their skills sealed.
Pang Ju charged forward and began biting and killing madly!
Those two blizzard wolves had no power to resist against the daytime cloud tiger, one of the Four Calamities, and were bitten to death alive.
The flock of bloodsucking bats sensed something was wrong and tried to flee, but were met with the relentless cannon fire of the giant rhinoceros tank group!
No one knew how many bats were shot down and crashed.
Because of the ferocity of the Beast Martial Legion, they quickly cleared the beast tide. The war giant rhinoceroses even circled the city of Luo as they ran!
The situation finally began to improve.
The Tree Kingdom barrier broke open, and Pang Ju led Zi Yuan inside, their eyes full of anxiety.
"How is the situation? Is everyone okay? How is the evacuation going?"
When the Dragon Abyss members saw the Beast Martial Legion arriving to support, their eyes lit up with brilliance. This wasn't over yet!
Wang Gang: "Reporting, sir! The evacuation is going relatively smoothly. We barely managed to hold the city."
Zi Yuan sighed in relief. "I recall Luo City had a Dao Heaven guarding it, right? Where is he? If the situation improves, come with me to support the next city. We're very short on people. He..."
Before she could finish, Wang Gang and the others' expressions darkened. They turned to look back at the towering tree in the center of Luo City.
Zi Yuan was suddenly choked up, her nose stinging. She couldn't say another word.
Wang Gang said hoarsely, "Uncle Chen stayed in Luo City. He took root here..."
Zi Yuan's eyes reddened, and her delicate fists clenched tightly!
"Leave a group of people to continue guarding the city and organizing the evacuation. You're coming with me!"
Wang Gang and the remaining battered troops were pulled into the Beast Martial Legion.
The giant rhinoceros tank group plowed through the beast tide and continued northward. Luo City was just one of countless cities they had come to aid!
Some cities still stood; others had turned into hell. And the spirit calamity continued!
...
Inside an inconspicuous pyramid in the country of Sha, Igor, Lai Yin, and a few others suddenly appeared!
Inside, it was an empty hall that was completely different from the style of Lan Xing.
At the center stood a giant metal spire that had been silent for a long time, covered in dust.
Lai Yin looked surprised. "Oh? There really is an energy inverter booster here? That saves us trouble!"
Igor curled his lip. "The last time we did this, it was left over from the ancient holy star. We never used it. The technological development of Lan Xing is really quite slow! I overestimated them."
"Get to work. Activate the black barrier and put it up."
Xiang Zhi scratched her head: (๑•̀ㅂ•́)✧ "What's a black barrier?"
Lai Yin glanced at her. "If you don't know, don't ask. Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand."
As she spoke, Bose particles surged within her body, and she actually expelled a thumb-sized metal capsule from inside!
She threw it to the ground. With a "bang," intense spatial fluctuations came!
A pure black cube with sides three meters long materialized!
Xiang Zhi's mouth fell open: ∑(°口°๑) "Is that... a space capsule?"
Lai Yin curled her lip. "Seeing little and making much of it. But I have to say, things made by the silicon-based lifeforms, the Mechanical Race, are pretty useful."
Igor snorted coldly. "Yeah, a bunch of completely rational beings. If we let them develop any further, maybe one day even our Bose Clan won't be taken seriously."
Lai Yin rolled her eyes. "Aren't you worrying a bit too much?"
She placed the black cube on top of the metal spire, then pulled out a few metal rods that flickered with bright yellow light, like energy batteries.
She inserted them into the metal spire.
These things completely shattered Xiang Zhi's worldview. Was this the legendary alien technology?
Ku Po's eyes flickered. What exactly was this thing for?
The next instant, under the supply of the energy batteries, the metal spire was instantly activated. Dense energy surged through the booster inverter and was directly injected into the black cube!
The black barrier was instantly activated. A dense energy wave spread out in the blink of an eye, sweeping wildly!
It even blasted Ku Po back two steps!
Igor clapped his hands in satisfaction. "The black barrier is activated. All satellites, communications, networks, and even power plants on Lan Xing will be paralyzed!"
"Humanity will return to a primitive era without communication. Tsk tsk tsk~"
To destroy a civilization, when war begins, the first thing to do is, of course, cut off their communication!
Lan Xing is vast. If people can't use their phones to contact each other and exchange information, that would be terrifying!
Especially for war. Under the current global spirit calamity, fighting is happening everywhere. Cutting off communication means they can't dispatch in time or make countermeasures.
This was undoubtedly another heavy blow to humanity.
Ku Po felt a chill run through his heart and body. They could even do something like this?
Everyone came out of the pyramid. Faintly, they could see shining meteors streaking across the sky.
Those were falling satellites. The influence of the black barrier would eventually spread to the entire Lan Xing; it was only a matter of time.
Ku Po's gaze flickered as he silently noted this place.
Igor rubbed his hands together. "Hey, what good stuff did you bring this time?"
Lai Yin smiled proudly. "Plenty. They're all with Lord Carl. After all, this time we came fully prepared."
"When it comes to developing the Star Ruins, Lord Carl has much more experience than you."
Igor muttered, "I wonder if things are going smoothly for Lord Carl. Did he get the spirit medium yet..."
Lai Yin sneered. "Are you doubting Lord Carl's abilities? Just a few humans. What use are they? He can handle them with ease!"
"We just need to wait for Lord Carl to bring the spirit medium back."
...
Inside the Origin Spark at the moon's core of Yue Qiu!
Baldr was pacing anxiously, unable to focus on cultivation. Originally, he could still check the news on his phone to see the situation on Lan Xing.
But somehow, now he couldn't even see the news anymore!
"Damn it! What kind of crap internet is this broken phone on?"
Baldr got so angry he crushed his phone. He wanted to go back to Lan Xing to see if there was anything he could do to help.
But compared to that, guarding the moon seemed more important!
If the Holy Star took the opportunity to attack Lan Yue and they lost the moon as well, that would truly be a double loss.
But just sitting around wasn't a solution either!
Just as Baldr was hesitating, his expression suddenly changed!
Huh? What the hell?
He hurriedly opened his alternate dimension!
He watched helplessly as a huge hole was suddenly smashed into the void of his alternate dimension!
Nine massive dimension earthworms roared as they pulled a ten-thousand-meter-tall Jue Ling pillar, charging out from the dimensional gap!
With a crash, it fell into his alternate dimension!
The nine dimension earthworms that had completed their task looked terrified and turned to go back.
But Baldr didn't hesitate. He went up and chopped them all to death with a series of spatial displacements!
He was completely dumbfounded!
Coming out from the dimensional gap? Door-to-door delivery?
Wasn't this delivery method a bit too flashy?
Delivered directly into his alternate dimension? How was that possible?
Besides, he hadn't ordered such a huge pillar!
However, after observing it carefully, Baldr was even more stunned!
Two people were clearly standing on the pillar, and one of them was Jiangnan!
Wasn't he guarding the pillar on Lan Xing? How did he get into his alternate dimension?
And it was direct delivery?
Could Jiangnan enter someone else's alternate dimension at will?
Terror filled Baldr's face!
Jiangnan looked regretful as he pulled out the dimension pearls from the nine earthworms!
"Tsk tsk~ Killing the earthworms after unloading the pillar? I'm being pretty damn shady here, huh?"
Mountain Cat twitched her mouth. Well, you seemed pretty happy digging out those dimension pearls.
Jiangnan stood on the Jue Ling pillar and looked around Baldr's alternate dimension!
The space inside was terrifyingly large. Jiangnan couldn't see the edge at a glance!
What was even more horrifying was that Jiangnan was blinded by a glittering mountain of golden bricks!
All kinds of rare treasures were piled up randomly. The currencies of various countries were stacked with material pallets. Top-tier spirit materials formed mountains. Spirit beads were stored in bathtubs...
Jiangnan's eyes almost popped out, and his voice rose an octave!
"You call this not having much money?"
What did it mean to be as rich as a country? He usually acted all stingy, even unwilling to treat his arm!
But inside his alternate dimension, his wealth was thick as hell?
Baldr was terrified out of his mind. Damn it! Had Jiangnan seen all his wealth?
He roared and rushed into his alternate dimension, using spatial compression to blast Jiangnan and the others out!
"Get out! All of you get out! Don't look!"
As he spoke, he quickly closed his alternate dimension, even turning back to check if anything was missing.
But even so, Baldr had no sense of security!
How the hell did Jiangnan appear in his alternate dimension?
Jiangnan sighed regretfully. "Why don't you just betray us? If you betrayed, all these treasures would be mine!"
Baldr shivered, his forehead drenched in cold sweat!
Damn it! He had been marked!
So once he betrayed, Jiangnan planned to steal from him? Move all his treasures?
He had been eyeing it for a long time?
Baldr swallowed hard. Even his alternate dimension wasn't safe anymore?
He was even a little glad he hadn't betrayed, or else his wealth would have been wiped out!
Even if he had had any ideas before, being messed with like this by Jiangnan, he didn't dare anymore!
This practically counted as a threat, didn't it?
