Everyone's hunting for treasure: I'll give you 100 times the loot and hand it over to the

The violent wind pressure surged through the passage like blades.

The spacetime barrier, now free from the suppression of the array, began to crack inch by inch.

Countless crystal fragments whizzed past.

Sizzle!!

The debris struck the heavy armor plating, sending up large amounts of blinding sparks.

Zhao Leiguang used his backhand to firmly block the two heavy earth shields in front of him, his arms bulging with veins like coiling dragons.

"The passage can't hold! This damn place is going to collapse!" he roared through gritted teeth, his combat boots firmly welded to the edge of the flowing light.

Lu Yan's face was as cold and hard as iron, his palm tightly gripping the bronze array key left by Qin Wuyi.

A burst of intense, five-colored spiritual light erupted wildly from the specially made copper box.

The primal power of the five divine stones was fiercely provoked by the Void Sword.

hum! !

The black and white divine wheels transformed into a gigantic drill that tore through the sky, crashing headlong into the front with violent gravitational pull.

At the edge of the void, the solid, thick gray barrier was suddenly pushed open, creating a huge bulge.

"Break it open!!"

Lu Yan's eyes flashed with divine light, and his energy poured out like a torrent.

……

Xichuan Front, outside the Seventh Fortress Defense Line.

The overwhelming tide of black beasts, as dark as ink, swept over the broken walls and ruins.

The sturdy reinforced concrete fortifications have long been crushed into dust.

The charred earth was piled high with tattered defensive flags and broken weapons.

"The entire Second Battalion has been wiped out! The Third defensive point has fallen!"

The hoarse screams of the communications soldier echoed through the dilapidated bunker.

Tens of thousands of mutated behemoths covered in pale white bone spurs trampled through the sea of ​​fire, their fangs dripping with foul-smelling acid.

A foul stench wafted over, even extinguishing the last remaining dim emergency light inside the bunker.

Acting Commander Pei Zhendong knelt behind the sandbags, his face covered in dried, blackened blood and mud.

His right arm hung limply, the bone fragments piercing his camouflage uniform.

Faced with the ferocious beast tide that was pressing in like a tidal wave, Pei Zhendong spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva.

His only remaining left hand was tightly gripping a black self-destruct fuse.

"Brothers, there are no cowards who retreat in our Seventh Fortress."

Pei Zhendong looked around at the dozens of wounded soldiers who remained and gave a bitter laugh.

"Pull the fuse and go with these beasts!"

The wounded silently pulled the pins on their high-explosive grenades, their eyes filled with resolute determination.

Pei Zhendong slowly hovered his thumb above the self-destruct button.

Sizzle—!

Without warning, all the air defense radars in the sky suddenly emitted sharp, piercing electrical roars.

Sizzle!!

The lightning instantly burned out the electronic screens of the entire underground command post.

Amidst the leaden-gray storm clouds, a dazzling, fiery golden spot of light suddenly shone brightly.

Immediately afterwards, the cloud layer, as if a curtain had been cleaved by a divine sword, suddenly tore open a smooth gap to both sides!

Boom!!

A deep, rumbling thunderclap, shaking the heavens for miles around, tore through the sky, like a heavy hammer falling from the heavens.

The entire battlefield shook violently, and the thousands of alien beasts charging at the forefront froze in place.

A majestic celestial gate, burning with pure Yang divine flames, stretched across the sky.

"What...is that?"

The refugees and soldiers inside the air-raid shelter craned their necks in terror, their eyes almost bursting out of their sockets.

"Is this a new otherworldly calamity? The Seventh Line of Defense... is completely finished!"

Despair and deathly silence spread rapidly through the ruins of the fortress.

The illusory image of the Heavenly Gate exploded into a shower of golden fire.

A fierce wind swept across the land like a tsunami, dispersing the thick smoke that had accumulated over the past few days.

Lightning tore through the smoke and dust, and six blood-stained figures clad in tattered armor plummeted straight down from the heavens!

boom!!

"Get the hell out of my way!!"

Zhao Lei's massive steel body, like a falling meteor, hurtled straight towards the core of the beast tide.

The two heavy earth-shattering shields closed in mid-air, unleashing a blinding, earth-yellow light.

War tramples!

The two shields of the earth, carrying immense weight, crashed into the hard frozen rock layer!

Rumble!!

The ground within a radius of one kilometer instantly cracked open, revealing countless spiderweb-like abysses.

The violent shockwave swept across the ground like a tsunami, instantly turning thousands of mutated giant beasts into blood mist wherever it passed!

The mud and broken bones mixed together in a torrential downpour, pounding against the outer walls of the fortress with a crackling sound.

"Heavily armed warriors! Someone has broken in!"

The defenders on the city wall screamed in disbelief, their eyes wide with shock.

*Sizzle!*

The sharp, piercing roar of the thrusters suddenly drowned out the storm.

The motorized thrusters behind Shen Xinglin left two trails of white flame, each over a hundred meters long.

The heavy lance nimbly flipped in mid-air, transforming into a deadly silver-white light shuttle.

Three lord-level beasts, each ten feet tall, were swinging their giant claws and lunging at the command post.

Shen Xinglin roared through the depths of the storm.

puff!puff!puff!

Three smooth lines of blood burst open instantly at the giant beast's neck.

The enormous, ferocious head tumbled through the air, and the three mountain-like beast bodies collapsed with a crash, kicking up clouds of dust.

Shen Xinglin landed on one knee, slammed his lance into the ground in a whirlwind of intense electric arcs.

High in the sky, the strong wind tousled Wen Yue's tactical cloak.

The infrared ranging beams of the World-Destroying Thunder Crossbow swept wildly across the wasteland like a blood-red rainstorm.

"Fire net coverage, cut off the rear." Wen Yue's eyes were cold as her slender fingers pressed the trigger hard.

call out!call out!call out!

High-explosive grenades rained down in a flurry of explosions, creating a piercing shriek.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The continuous waves of fire tore the area behind the battlefield into a sea of ​​flames.

Hundreds of heavily armored beasts responsible for providing cover were instantly overturned and blown to pieces, completely severing the rear echelon.

In mid-air, Lin Chuxue's petite figure suddenly hovered in the center of the blood mist.

The little girl bit the candy stick in her mouth, and a violent, scarlet killing intent ignited in her eyes.

"Anyone who dares to block my way home, you'd all die!!"

The Blood Pool Staff swung down from the sky, and layers upon layers of blood explosion patterns spread out from the heavens.

The "One Blood, Ten Thousand Shields" attack exploded, instantly creating a sea of ​​scarlet flowers beneath the sky.

Thousands of flying demonic insects swooping down from the flanks couldn't even get close to the defensive line.

Under the glow of the blood-red light, those hideous demonic insects disintegrated on the spot, turning into countless fragments.

Xiao Qianyu swept her halberd horizontally, and the dark golden light flashed nine times like thunder at the front line.

Flash Strike!

The moment the nine afterimages vanished, dozens of Shadow Assassins attempting to raid the city gate had their spines snapped.

Su Yunqing held the Yao Guang Gift Scepter heavily at the edge of the battlements.

A vast, platinum-gold halo spilled across the fortress like mercury, instantly enveloping it.

The lacerations on the dying warriors healed and scabbed over at a visible speed in the pure light.

As the excruciating pain subsided, life was rekindled in the marrow of every desperate soldier.

The last figure in black slowly descended, stepping through the torn void.

Lu Yan remained expressionless as the Void Sword at his waist suddenly emerged half an inch from its sheath.

The absolute erasure domain of the Black Lotus Pure Land spread out along the ground with a roar!

He swung his sword down with one hand.

A pure sword beam stretched for a thousand meters, effortlessly slicing through the hard frozen soil.

boom!!

The front of the entire battlefield was torn open by a scorched, blackened chasm several meters deep.

Before the formidable barrier, thousands of frenzied beasts charged forward, not even having time to utter a mournful cry before being reduced to ashes in the black light.

The smoke gradually dissipated with the wind, and the strong smell of blood permeated the cold air.

The setting sun, like blood, dyed the sky a desolate dark red.

Six figures, as tall and solitary as mountain peaks, stood silently and proudly atop the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood.

Their dragon guard armor was torn and tattered, and there were dried dark red bloodstains everywhere.

But not a single demon dared to step across that scorched chasm again.

The entire Seventh Fortress fell into a deathly silence.

Outside the air-raid shelter, thousands of soldiers and civilians stood motionless amidst the ruins.

Pei Zhendong's left hand went limp, and the black self-destruct fuse fell into the mud with a thud.

His lips trembled violently, and his eyes were instantly filled with scalding tears.

"The Plate of Nothingness...that is the Pure Land of the Black Lotus..."

Pei Zhendong's voice trembled uncontrollably as he suddenly straightened his hunched back.

"It's the first squad!!"

"The first squad didn't die in that other world, they're back!!"

His roar echoed wildly over the fortress.

The brief silence was broken in the next instant, and the entire fortress defense line erupted in a frenzied cheer that pierced the sky!

"First Squad!!"

"The dagger is back! We held the line!!"

Countless soldiers dropped their weapons, embraced their heads and wept bitterly, frantically pounding on the charred fortifications beside them.

Lu Yan sheathed his sword, slowly turned around, and glanced at the familiar Chinese faces.

Beyond the formidable barrier behind them, the remaining low-level beast horde wailed in terror as they fled in panic toward the horizon.

Zhao Leiguang roughly wiped the soot off his face and grinned widely.

But as he laughed, tears began to roll down his stubble-covered face.

Holding her staff, Su Yunqing leaned wearily against a stone pillar, looking up at the gloomy sky.

"Captain, the defense line is temporarily stabilized," Shen Xinglin reported in a deep voice, pulling his mask back.

Xiao Qianyu gripped the Dragon King Halberd tightly, her gaze sweeping towards the rear command hub of the Xichuan defense line.

"Things aren't that simple," Lu Yan said slowly, his eyes as deep and cold as a pool.

"The evil spirits of the East Sea Black Gate can launch cross-dimensional attacks, and there is a traitor from the Advent Faction hiding in the camp."

He turned to look at Pei Zhendong, who was walking up to him, his eyes as cold as knives.

"Contact the Dragon Guard Supreme Command immediately."

Lu Yan put the bronze array key back into his tactical backpack; the words he wrote weighed more than a thousand pounds.

"The first squad is back."

"Within 72 hours, we will massacre the traitors in Xichuan."
