"Kill!"
The slaughter began.
As Lin Yu teleported out of the tunnel, a blood-red slash descended from above, startling him greatly.
"Damn it, you dare to kill me? Go to hell!" Lin Yu shouted, activating Flicker Step.
The next moment, he appeared behind the Blood Fury Clan member, conjuring a dagger in his hand and plunging it fiercely into its heart.
He teleported again, vanishing once more and reappearing far away.
Phantom Soul Technique!
Lin Yu chanted and unleashed the Phantom Soul Technique.
Still uneasy, he employed the Concealed Wind skill, completely hiding himself.
"This battlefield is too chaotic. It's better to let the clones do the killing," Lin Yu muttered to himself.
Clones.
Instantly, two thousand clones scattered around. As soon as they appeared, they used the "Myriad Treasures Condensation Art" to forge armor and weapons, then charged out in all directions.
The entire battlefield was in disarray.
The millions of humans from the Southeast Base were locked in a bitter struggle, with lives lost every moment.
The two thousand seventh-tier clones Lin Yu had dispatched couldn't make a decisive impact.
However, if they were to self-destruct, it would be a different story. Lin Yu, watching the alien races surround him from all sides, was about to use self-destruct when he suddenly heard shouts of battle from afar.
Straining his eyes, he saw dazzling, polished light bulbs charging forward.
Lin Yu rejoiced and said with a laugh, "Reinforcements have arrived. We're safe now."
As the Divine Monk led his three thousand disciples into the fray, the situation began to stabilize.
At that moment, a monstrous beast with two horns on its head and a pair of black, fleshy wings on its back blocked the Divine Monk's path.
The Divine Monk looked at it and shouted, "Winged Demon clan, you dare to stand in my way?"
The Winged Demon said coldly, "Divine Monk, I fought you once before. Do you still remember me?"
The Divine Monk paused for a moment, then quickly recalled the past.
A hundred years ago, he was traveling across various lands when he encountered a Winged Demon massacring humans in human territory. Enraged, he immediately intervened and battled the Winged Demon for three days and three nights.
In the end, he tore off one of the Winged Demon's wings, while his own right arm was severed at the shoulder.
He never expected to encounter this same Winged Demon again a hundred years later.
He had consumed a Life-Rebirth Elixir and regrown his arm, while the other party had apparently found some treasure and regrown its wings.
Their paths crossed again, and seeing each other, their enmity flared.
"The Buddha says, when demons appear, the wrath of the Ming Kings shall burn them! Today, I, on behalf of my Buddha, will let you vanish completely under the Buddha's flames, avenging the souls who perished by your hand!"
He walked towards the Winged Demon, golden light radiating from his body.
Soon, his entire body shone with golden brilliance, as if he were a newly cast golden Buddha.
Suddenly, he moved.
He clasped his hands together, his eyes blazing with golden fire, and then violently parted them, sending streams of flames towards the Winged Demon.
The Winged Demon's wings fluttered slightly, allowing it to dodge with extreme agility.
But the next moment, a torrent of golden fire surged again.
The Winged Demon was greatly alarmed and dodged frantically.
"Evil Spirit Descends!" the Winged Demon roared, spewing black energy from its body.
As the black energy appeared, it coalesced, quickly forming a colossal evil spirit.
The evil spirit was a hundred meters tall, wielding a great axe, its eyes emitting a chilling light. It raised the axe and swung it down at the Divine Monk.
Seeing this, the Divine Monk chanted, "Amitabha! Vajra Body Protection!"
Clang!
The axe struck his body, producing the sound of metal colliding.
Suddenly, he thrust his arm forward, golden flames coiling around it.
"Unquenchable Buddha Fire!"
Boom!
The golden fire surged, like a giant dragon, pouncing on the evil spirit.
The Winged Demon, unwilling to be outdone, chanted incantations and spat a stream of red light onto the evil spirit.
The evil spirit's strength immediately surged, and it swung its giant axe towards the golden fire.
Boom!
The flames scattered and then reformed, pouncing again and attaching themselves to the evil spirit.
"Roar!"
The evil spirit roared, but under the golden fire, its efforts were in vain, and it was gradually consumed by flames.
The Winged Demon was shocked. It hadn't expected that after so many years, the other party had progressed even more than itself. It quickly retreated.
But it was too late. A giant ape emerged from the void, its hands clasped together, and hammered down onto the Winged Demon's head with a resounding force.
The Winged Demon, out of control, plummeted towards the ground.
After delivering the blow, the ape roared, "Ooh ooh ooh, what a hard head, it really hurts~"
The Rider appeared from behind and tapped its head, scolding with a smile, "Get back!"
The ape whimpered, reluctantly retreating.
After all, the Rider was its master, and as a spirit beast, it couldn't disobey its master's command.
The Rider stood in the void, looking down. Seeing the Winged Demon clutching its head and flying out, he shouted, "White Tiger, Claws of Slaughter!"
The White Tiger, belonging to the Metal element, symbolized war and slaughter.
From afar, the White Tiger casually swiped a claw.
Boom!
The Winged Demon's expression changed drastically. The killing intent was too potent; even from a distance, its soul felt a searing pain.
As it was about to dodge, the Divine Monk struck with a palm.
"Great Sun Shakyamuni Buddha Palm!"
A colossal palm, like a Buddhist kingdom, descended with a thunderous roar.
Rumble!!!
The ground caved in, and dust billowed everywhere.
The Rider flew over and asked, "Is it dead?"
The Divine Monk closed his eyes slightly and replied, "Completely dead."
The Rider gave him a thumbs-up, praising, "Impressive!"
The commotion here was significant, immediately drawing the attention of other alien races and beasts.
Numerous alien races were aghast.
"Not good, it's the human Divine Monk and the Rider. These two humans possess strength far beyond that of ordinary ninth-tier beings."
"Moro is dead! Damn humans, to kill our former clan leader."
"Request Lord Frost Hound to act and annihilate the humans in one fell swoop!"
The Frost Hound clan had already flanked the humans from behind, completing the final encirclement. With this, the humans were trapped with no escape.
The Frost Hound Clan Leader said, "Everyone, we haven't been able to discern how the humans acquired the Moon Devouring Secret Technique. We can only annihilate this race to prevent future trouble."
"The clan leader is right. Let's just destroy them, no need to investigate."
"I'll go first. Under Moon Devouring, humanity is doomed."
Boom!
Ten ninth-tier Frost Hounds charged forward, instantly darkening the sky and changing the winds.
As Moon Devouring was unleashed, a black moon appeared in the sky, obscuring a part of the heavens.
"Kill!"
At this point, no further words were needed; only the act of killing.
General facing general, soldier facing soldier, the killing commenced, driven only by the intent to kill.
In a corner of the battlefield.
With a swing of his blade, Lin Yu killed a seventh-tier Blood Fury Clan member. He glanced around at the pervasive corpses and ongoing battles; he was growing weary.
He looked at the earth-shattering battle of ninth-tier beings in the distance.
Then he looked at his hands, a burning desire welling up within him.
"I am still too weak, too weak. If only I could become a ninth-tier, all these alien races and beasts would be annihilated!"
Suddenly—
A chill ran through him, and he abruptly looked up, only to see a ninth-tier Frost Hound spitting frost towards him.
"Damn, why are you trying to kill a nobody like me?"
"Human, I've been observing you for a long time. Your aura is very unique, and you can perform spatial teleportation. You must be among the top talents of the human race. Killing you is weakening humanity's potential. You've met me, and it can only be said that your luck is too bad. In your next life, don't be human; consider being reborn as a dog!"
"Nonsense, beast, you're not worthy of killing me!"
Flicker Step!
The next moment, Lin Yu appeared ten meters away.
However, he had underestimated the speed of a ninth-tier expert. Half a second later, the ninth-tier Frost Hound appeared behind him.
"You can't escape. Accept your death." A stream of frost was sprayed out. Lin Yu was at the forefront, and before it even touched him, a thin layer of ice covered his body.
"Damn it, I can't beat it! Run!"
Flicker Step!
He teleported continuously, finally ending up in an underground tunnel.
"Phew, I was careless. I shouldn't have come out."
"This place isn't safe either. I need to leave quickly."
Simultaneously, he commanded his clones to intercept the ninth-tier Frost Hound.
Lin Yu vanished. The ninth-tier Frost Hound frowned, searching fruitlessly. Suddenly, humans began to charge, numbering in the thousands.
Even for a ninth-tier alien beast, it was being kept busy.
This completely occupied its time and prevented it from searching for Lin Yu.
While entangled by the clones, a ninth-tier human discovered an opportunity.
"Die!"
A long sword lunged forward fiercely.
The Frost Hound, seeing this, was greatly alarmed and was about to transform into its Celestial Hound form when clones suddenly swarmed and trapped it securely.
"Senior, kill it quickly!"
The ninth-tier human, hearing this, was touched and gritted its teeth, unleashing its full power.
Stab!
A sword pierced its throat.
Stab again!
Another sword pierced its heart.
Both strikes hit vital points, and the Frost Hound died instantly.
This was the first ninth-tier alien beast to die since the battle began, causing an uproar.
"Humans, you court death!"
"Moon Devouring, go!"
Meanwhile, within the base.
Elder Ge frowned and said, "Everyone, go and provide support. If we can defeat this wave of alien races and beasts, our chances of victory against the beasts will increase by half a percent. Go!"
"Alright, let's go all out!"
"We'll have a good fight today; we've been too stifled lately."
"Finally, we can personally exact revenge!"
The decisive battle was about to begin.
