The Fourth Disaster: People become gods through high martial arts and gaming

Chapter 335 When the army of aliens meets the army of demons?
"died?"

Mondl, Shefina, and the others who were fleeing were stunned when they saw Tania, the Son of Storms, being crushed in mid-air. Their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Although Storm Child Tania has dropped from tenth to eleventh place in the half-step Celestial Realm, his strength has not weakened. When he uses his trump card, he can even fight several moves against a Celestial Realm Grandmaster, let alone Storm Child Tania, whose strength has greatly increased after his mutation.

His strength, even if he is not at the initial stage of the Celestial Realm, is probably not far off.

Now, however, he was crushed to death by the gray-robed disciple of the Obsidian Martial Arts School with a flick of his wrist, as if he were squeezing an orange; he simply exploded, which was utterly incomprehensible.

While Mond and the others were surprised to see this, the members of the Celestial Might group present did not take it seriously.

Back when Luo Wushang wasn't yet in the Blood Condensation Realm, she was able to fight against the Storm Child Tania with her second-level Perfected Body Strengthening Secret Technique and her mastery of the Transcendent Martial Skill. Now that she has advanced to the Blood Condensation Realm and learned the third level of the Body Strengthening Secret Technique, and has already reached a proficient level in the third level, her physical defense is astonishingly strong.

Under normal circumstances, even a calamity-level monster cannot break through its defenses, let alone when fighting the Storm Child Tania, directly activating the extraordinary state and energy burst.

Luo Wushang has now entered a transcendent state, with her strength panel alone reaching over 480 tons. With the first level of the two advanced transcendent martial arts techniques at their peak, her strength is boosted by 30%, and with the 50% boost from the second level of the Body Strengthening Secret Technique at its peak, her actual strength is over 864 tons.

After activating the energy burst, the body's base stats doubled to over 960 tons, and the actual strength exceeded 1728 tons. This figure far surpasses the minimum standard of 1200 tons for the middle stage of the Celestial Realm.

Even a casually used phantom of blood and qi is not something a Blood Condensation Realm NPC with high attack and weak defense can easily mess with.

Luo Wushang's amazing performance stunned the aliens present for a moment, especially the Titan Fendi, who was chasing Mond and the others. His originally smiling face now became more solemn, clearly not expecting that these humans dressed in silver-gray clothes who suddenly appeared would have such a master.

"Oh no! Quick! Quick! Kill them all!"

"If we don't kill them quickly, they'll gather all their comrades nearby, and then we won't be able to escape!"

Seeing the surprised expressions on Fendi and the others' faces, Mondl nervously shouted a warning to Luo Wushang in the human language.

Needless to say, the people from the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy were all entering the restricted area for the first time. They had no idea how terrifying the aliens were, let alone their many methods.

Within the restricted area, the aliens possess two particularly deadly methods.

One type is a strange erosion that turns people into aliens without their knowledge. To this day, no scholars from the major powers of the four regions have figured out what is going on. The only thing they know is that people who have become aliens only think about killing everyone except aliens, or they transform into aliens but look no different from ordinary people, making them extremely difficult to guard against.

Another type is the ability to summon all the aliens within a wide range. The forbidden zone has existed for a long time. Not to mention the large number of people of various races who were transformed when the forbidden zone was first established, there are countless people who have been transformed into aliens by entering the forbidden zone in recent years, and each of them is very powerful.

Fortunately, under normal circumstances, outcasts prefer to work alone, but when faced with someone they simply cannot fight back against and cannot even escape from, they will resort to this tactic.

With this method, even if it's only on the outermost edge of the restricted area, a Grandmaster of the Celestial Realm can only run away. If it's in a slightly deeper part of the restricted area, then certain death is inevitable.

Although Mond's words reached Luo Wushang and the others, Luo Wushang showed no intention of making a move. She simply looked at the strange creature in front of her with a hint of excitement in her eyes.

"Does this anomaly have such methods?" Zhang Qingwei licked her lips and her eyes lit up after hearing this. "It truly lives up to its reputation as a limited-time event. It's a great place to earn points and contribution points."

"I knew we couldn't find the monsters for ages, turns out we were doing it the wrong way." Zhao Hu was also eager to try.

They entered the restricted area, expecting it to be a desolate and harsh place, but to their surprise, the training environment inside was quite good. With the high gravity environment, in terms of training improvement, it was probably second only to the training room and the primary martial arts room on the third floor of the training tower.

However, no monsters were seen in this environment; there were only some huge insects and a few large animals.

These insects and animals are all very strong, generally stronger than the natural disaster-level monsters outside, but they do not have the heaven-defying regenerative ability of natural disaster-level monsters. They are only strong in defense and attack. Even a person at the advanced limit of the Bone Forging Realm who has activated his extraordinary state and is using a third-tier weapon will take a long time to kill one of them.

But the insects that were killed were of no value whatsoever, and even the animals that were killed were of no value whatsoever. After the monster died, its entire body was a treasure, its flesh and blood filled with rich energy, and its flesh would become soft after death.

Even after these animals die, their flesh is still harder than C-grade alloy. Only someone like Luo Wushang, who has activated her extraordinary state after reaching the Blood Coagulation Realm, can eat it. Anyone else who dares to eat it will have their teeth broken.

As for animal blood, it's completely unusable. As soon as an animal dies, the energy contained in its blood rapidly dissipates. In just a few minutes, the energy contained in that blood is less than that of a low-level monster.

It can be said that the animals in the restricted area have no value other than their fur, which can be used to make armor and their bones, which can barely be used to make weapons. They are far less valuable than directly hunting natural disaster-level monsters.

But the outcasts within the forbidden zone are different. As mortal enemies of various races transformed from NPCs, they might have some good stuff on them. In particular, the stronger the transformed NPC, the higher the chance of dropping good items. For example, the energy blood essence dropped by the Blood Coagulation Realm NPC in the story battle, as well as severely damaged weapons and armor, can all be recycled and sold for money.

Especially the Energy Blood Essence, which is something that monsters will never drop. Only NPCs at the Blood Coagulation Realm will drop it, and NPCs at the Blood Coagulation Realm are not easy to find in the Four Domains, so they cannot be killed at will.

If a large number of Blood Coagulation Realm aberrations come, it's no different from giving away energy blood essence. Even if killing a hundred Blood Coagulation Realm aberrations only yields one energy blood essence, it's still a huge profit.

"Are they crazy? Why haven't they made a move yet?"

Mond was completely bewildered by the fact that the members of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy were showing no reaction whatsoever, but rather excitement.

Everyone else avoids the aliens like the plague. Putting aside the fact that the aliens are powerful and difficult to deal with, the mere fact that they don't know how they were corrupted by the aliens and turned into aliens is enough to make people's hearts tremble.

But these gray-robed disciples of the Obsidian Martial Arts School, upon hearing that an alien would attract even more aliens, showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, they acted as if they had found a treasure, which was simply abnormal.

Seeing the situation, the deputy leader, Emilia, quickly said, "Senior Brother Mond, these people from the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy have gone mad! Let's retreat!"

Now, all the attention of Titan Fendi and the other aliens is on Luo Wushang, and they don't even dare to move. This is the best time for them to escape.

“It’s too late.” Mond shook his head, his face grim. “The intelligence of the aliens is the same as that of the unalienated ones, and their communication is different from ours. They probably already called for help just now. Now they’re all keeping quiet and just stalling for time. If we run back now, we’ll only run into the alien army that’s surrounding us.”

While anomalies aren't as common as cabbages in restricted areas, the reason they're not readily encountered is because they prefer to act alone and lurk in various places, making them difficult even for Grandmasters of the Celestial Realm to detect. If all the anomalies within the restricted area were to be identified, their numbers would be terrifying.

He had only encountered this once in his life, when he was with his teacher at a great distance, using a cloak to conceal his life energy, and luckily avoided being discovered by the aliens. He watched helplessly as a team of dozens of elite members, led by a Grandmaster of the Celestial Realm, was annihilated by an army of thousands of aliens in another domain city, filled with resentment.

Finally, even the Grandmaster of the Celestial Realm was corrupted and turned into an anomaly, a memory he could never forget.

The cause of all this was simply that members of the team had been corrupted and alienated. In the process of identifying which people were the outcasts, the hidden outcasts called out to their companions before they died...

"What do we do now?" Deputy leader Emilia asked in despair.

Although she had never seen the alien army in person, she had read a lot of information about forbidden zones collected by the Misty Mountain City, including some video recordings about the alien army.

A team of a thousand people exploring a restricted area was besieged by an army of tens of thousands of aliens, and only a few dozen of them managed to escape. Not to mention that even if those few dozen people were all experts at the Blood Condensation Realm, they were nothing compared to the fact that the aliens generally had strength close to the Blood Condensation Realm.

“I have no choice but to stay with these lunatics.” Mond couldn’t help but look at the group of people from the Obsidian Martial Arts School.

Although they didn't want to admit it, their only chance of survival now lay with these gray-clad disciples of the Obsidian Martial Arts School who wanted to fight against the alien army.

I hadn't paid much attention to the situation while fleeing, but now that I'm taking a closer look, I realize that the Obsidian Martial Arts School team is no ordinary group.

Although the entire group consisted of less than two hundred people, they were all gray-robed disciples above the Bone Forging Realm, which meant nearly two hundred combatants with the Blood Condensation Realm strength. There was also Luo Wushang, who was able to instantly kill Storm Child Tania and whose strength was likely close to that of a mid-level Celestial Realm Grandmaster.

If someone with this level of combat strength focuses solely on escaping from the outermost edge of the restricted area, their chances are still quite high.

Mond then introduced himself to Luo Wushang and the others, hoping that they would accept his offer to join him. He even offered the only two energy blood essences he had, and said he would give them three more if they could leave the restricted area safely.

This delighted Luo Wushang and the others. They never expected that exploring the forbidden zone would lead to a random protection mission, earning them five energy blood essences.

"Alright, go to the center of the team. Our people will protect you." Luo Wushang accepted the two energy blood essences, pointed to the team behind her, and instructed, "But during the battle, don't run out of our team, otherwise we won't be able to guarantee your safety."

"Thank you." Mond breathed a sigh of relief and led the group from Misty Mountain City directly to the center of the team.

As the group from Wushan Domain City entered the center of the Tianwei team, the people from Wushan Domain City had mixed feelings, especially those whose strength had reached the middle stage of the Blood Condensation Realm or above, who were all very unhappy.

"No matter what, we are all experts in the Blood Condensation Realm. These people from the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy actually treat us as a burden. They are underestimating our Misty Mountain Domain City!" A sub-demon man whose strength had reached the high level of the Blood Condensation Realm looked at the team's formation and heard Luo Wushang's words, and couldn't help but feel angry.

The team's formation at this moment was clearly a defensive circular formation. All the people from the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy were around the perimeter. Unless the alien army could break through, they would have no chance to make a move. It could be said that they were protecting these super geniuses of the domain city like babies.

Mond simply glared at the demon man, signaling him to shut up, and said nothing more.

Because Mond was also somewhat displeased at this moment.

They were supposed to cooperate with the Obsidian Martial Arts School to fight the alien army, but now they're being treated like weak burdens that need to be protected. This has never happened before since they entered the Fog Mountain Domain City.

Although Mond acknowledged that the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy team was very strong, he believed that their strength mainly lay in their leader, Luo Wushang. Apart from Luo Wushang, Mond did not think that his team was inferior to the members of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy.

"Shefina, do you think these people from the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy have a chance to break through?" Deputy leader Emilia looked at Luo Wushang, who was confronting Titan Fendi and others in mid-air, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

As a peerless genius of Misty Mountain City, Xie Feina would normally have broken through to the Blood Condensation Realm in Misty Mountain City. However, Xie Feina chose to break through to the Blood Condensation Realm at the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall. This news caused a lot of discussion in Misty Mountain City at the time, and people did not understand why Xie Feina would take such a risk.

However, this also shows that Xie Feina has a close relationship with Obsidian Martial Arts School and should know a lot about it.

"I'd say I'm about 50% sure," Shefina said after thinking for a moment.
If the deputy leader Emilia had asked that question before Luo Wushang made her move, she could have said without hesitation that it was definitely not going to work, given the overall strength of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy.

Although there were many more disciples in the Bone Forging Realm, apart from the gray-robed disciple who is now ranked first among the half-step Celestials, the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy did indeed have several other experts with considerable strength who could rival the half-step Celestials, according to the battle situation they had investigated in the Dead Mountain Range. However, if it weren't for the existence of that gray-robed disciple who changed the entire battle, the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy would have actually lost, and lost badly.

With such strength, they would surely be doomed against an army of alien beings that would even kill a Grandmaster of the Celestial Realm.

However, with experts like Luo Wushang present, and the disciples of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy at the Bone Forging Realm possessing considerable strength, just as Mond said, there is still a significant chance of breaking through.

"Fifty percent is that high?" Deputy team leader Emilia was slightly surprised. According to her calculations, although the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy team had Luo Wushang in charge, their chances of breaking through were only one or two percent. After all, there were many beings among the aliens who had broken through from the Blood Condensation Realm to the Celestial Realm. And that was because it was on the outermost edge of the restricted area. If they went any deeper, the chances would probably be zero.

However, according to Shefina, the chance of breaking through is as high as 50%, which means that the strength of the Obsidian Martial Arts School is much greater than the rumors suggest.

As the deputy leaders Emilia and Shefina were talking, the Titan Fendi and other aliens, who had been standing motionless in mid-air, started laughing, as if mocking Luo Wushang's foolishness.

"coming!"

Mond looked at the figures surging in from all directions with a very solemn expression. Even if it was just a rough estimate, there were more than three thousand of these figures, and each of them had a strength close to the Blood Condensation Realm.

The three strongest made Mondstadt feel an unprecedented sense of despair.

"Grandmaster of the Celestial Realm!"

"How could this be! Three Grandmasters of the Celestial Realm?!"
