Annihilation

Their teamwork had been honed to perfection through countless brushes with death.

Incredibly, it managed to tear a gap in the endless Insect Tide, like a stubborn reef, firmly holding the line!

Chen Fan didn't look at them.

His gaze passed over the three figures fighting a bloody battle, over the surging low-level Insect Race, and landed on the thirty-three silent, skeletal mountain peaks in the distance.

Then, he started walking.

There was no charge, no battle cry, not even the slightest energy fluctuation.

He walked alone through the first line of defense built by Lei Kun and his two companions with their lives, heading straight towards the thirty-three hive Hive Executioners, each powerful enough to flatten a small base.

His figure appeared as small as a candle flame flickering in the wind in front of those enormous monsters, as if he would be completely swallowed up by the terrifying shadows at any moment.

This scene was clearly presented to everyone through the surveillance cameras that covered the entire War Zone.

Countless horrified gazes were focused on the lone boy walking forward.

"Hiss!!"

As if sensing the provocation of this ant, the foremost Hive Executioner let out a roar that shook the heavens and the earth.

It raised its ghastly white Bone Scythe, which was larger than Chen Fan himself, and the Bone Scythe was surrounded by a deathly Dao Rhythm enough to tear space apart.

The next second.

The Bone Scythe cleaved through the sky with the force of a thunderbolt, slashing down fiercely at the lone youth!

Facing the ghastly white Bone Scythe, powerful enough to tear through space and imbued with the Dao Rhythm death, Chen Fan's expression remained completely unchanged.

Time seemed to stretch out infinitely.

In that critical moment, Chen Fan finally moved.

He simply raised his right hand calmly, extended his index finger, and gently touched the massive, mountain-like object that was pressing down.

There was no earth-shattering roar, no cataclysmic energy explosion.

A faint, almost imperceptible Scarlet-Gold Spark flickered from Chen Fan's fingertip, landing silently on the massive Bone Scythe like an ordinary firefly.

Then, it was as if the whole world had been muted.

The indestructible Bone Scythe, formed from the life essence of the Sixth Grade Undying Realm Hive Executioner, began to melt away quietly from the point touched by the spark, like a delicate sand sculpture thrown into warm water.

The trend of dissolution showed no sign of stopping; it spread along the Bone Scythe to the massive body of the Hive Executioner with an irresistible force.

At the A-3 Gate, in the distant Command Center, inside the stealth reconnaissance ship, and in Light Screen, everyone's pupils suddenly contracted at this moment.

They watched helplessly as the terrifying beast, capable of wiping out an elite squad, disintegrated from head to toe, completely evaporating in utter silence, without even uttering a mournful cry.

Only a fist-sized, dark golden core, radiating a rich life force, remained, silently suspended in mid-air.

The entire battlefield, from the deafening roar of battle at the A-3 Gate to the countless soldiers standing ready in the rear, and the officers at the Supreme Command, all fell into an eerie, deathly silence in that instant.

This silent annihilation is more terrifying than any violent explosion, sending a chill down your spine!

"Roar!!"

The brief silence was torn apart by an even more ferocious roar.

The remaining thirty-two Hive Executioners were enraged by the instantaneous evaporation of their kind.

Their simple wisdom could not comprehend this scene that Transcendence the Life-and-Death Law; all that remained was their most primal savagery and killing instinct.

Thirty-two earth-shattering roars merged into a destructive sonic wave, transforming into thirty-two black torrents of death that swept in from all directions, sealing off every angle, and relentlessly crushed towards the tiny figure still standing in the same spot!

This is a devastating blow that could raze this entire defensive zone, along with the rear base, to the ground!

However, faced with this devastating encirclement, Chen Fan didn't even bother to lift a finger.

He slowly closed his eyes.

When I opened my eyes again, something strange had happened!

Its left eye brimmed with life, like a vast Star Sea, deep and magnificent; its right eye was deathly still, like an eternal Guixu, cold and empty.

An invisible domain, centered on him, expanded outwards in an instant.

That domain was colorless and formless, yet it contained the ultimate principles of creation and destruction in the universe, instantly enveloping all thirty-two ferocious beasts within it.

"Town."

A soft, unassuming syllable escaped Chen Fan's lips.

Within this realm, time and space freeze.

Those thirty-two monstrous beasts, carrying the force of thunder and capable of shattering Stars, were frozen in mid-air like mosquitoes instantly encased in eternal amber, maintaining their roaring postures but unable to move an inch.

"Destroy."

The second syllable falls.

Within this domain, life and death can be reversed.

The thirty-two enormous creatures, just like the first Executioner, began to decompose, dissolve, and evaporate simultaneously in absolute silence.

This scene was both spectacular and terrifying.

It was as if an invisible, divine hand was using an eraser to wipe away, one by one, the most hideous monsters from the world in this painting.

Chen Fan waved his hand casually.

The thirty-three Supreme Life Cores, each capable of driving a sixth-grade expert mad, which were suspended in the air, transformed into thirty-three streams of Stream of Light and flew into his hand like swallows returning to their nests.

He casually weighed it in his hand, feeling the immense and pure energy within, and then put it away with satisfaction.

The whole process was smooth and effortless, as if it were just a trivial and obvious little thing that had been done.

Meanwhile, aboard a stealthy reconnaissance ship in the distance.

"Smack!"

The wine glass in the hand of Li Minglei, the captain of the Frenzied Flame Squad, shattered with a crash.

The blood-red wine, mixed with sharp shards of glass, pierced deeply into his palm, drawing blood, yet he felt no pain whatsoever.

His face was ashen, his whole body trembled violently, his eyes bulged and bloodshot, staring intently at the calm, seemingly unaffected figure of the boy on the Light Screen.

Endless horror and despair, like an icy tide, completely overwhelmed his Divine Soul.

His lips trembled, and he unconsciously murmured to himself over and over again:

"Monster... he's a monster... a madman... a madman!!"

On the battlefield, the endless Insect Tide fell into unprecedented chaos and stagnation due to the instantaneous annihilation of all Commanders, and the black tide even showed signs of receding.

Chen Fan turned around.

His gaze fell on something not far behind him.

There, the other three members of the Pioneer Team Seven stood frozen in place, like three weathered stone sculptures.

Their weapons remained in attack stances, but their faces were frozen in the most extreme shock and bewilderment of their lives, so much so that they didn't even notice their weapons slipping from their hands.

Chen Fan looked at them, tilting his head slightly with some curiosity. His clear voice rang out in the deathly silence of the battlefield, sounding particularly abrupt.

Why did you stop?

"These small fry haven't been dealt with yet."
