Shen City Falls

At this moment, the Jade Swallow Continent research base was brightly lit, as if it were daytime.

The base was bustling with people, and busy figures could be seen everywhere.

With a portion of the Heaven-Controlling Realm on its way, people's faces showed a sense of tension and anxiety.

The researchers, in particular, were noticeably anxious.

This may also be related to their deep understanding of how powerful the Heaven-Controlling Realm; the more they know, the less confident they feel.

Apart from those crucial experiments that were impossible to extricate oneself from, which are still ongoing.

A large number of researchers had to suspend their experimental work.

They hurriedly packed their belongings and then quickly moved to a safer place.

In stark contrast to the researchers' hasty evacuation was the military stationed there.

The soldiers, on the other hand, mostly appeared unusually calm and orderly.

They took over all external affairs of the base and quickly prepared for defense.

"I'm sorry, Jade Swallow Continent military needs to ensure the security of the research base."

The military representative from the Jade Swallow Continent held a communicator, conveying "orders" from higher-ups.

His tone was deliberately indifferent, but it still revealed a hint of reluctance.

After symbolically reciting the pre-arranged words of encouragement, he didn't say anything more and hung up the call.

As a soldier from humble beginnings, he simply couldn't understand why the higher-ups could so easily abandon a city.

Even if the opponent is part of the Heaven-Controlling Realm, it's not impossible to fight them with the Psychic Energy weapons here.

What kind of nonsense is this, ceding territory and paying reparations?

Leaving aside property losses, Shen City is a port city with a population of millions.

With Mao City already engulfed in war, Shen City undoubtedly holds considerable value for the entire Human Race.

He thought and thought, but couldn't come up with a solution, so he simply gave up trying.

"Never mind, it's not something I should worry about."

The military representative shook his head, banishing his jumbled thoughts, and quickly blended into the busy crowd.

Soldiers passing by in the same hurry as him were as numerous as hairs on a cow.

In an instant, the entire base was fully operational.

Clearly, no one dared to underestimate the Heaven-Controlling Realm, not even a portion of them.

Everyone is actively making preparations for the battle.

Meanwhile, in the distant Yinling Valley...

Shisui absorbing all the flesh and blood in the valley, Zi Sui also devoured the entire portion of the Dragon Whisker branches that had gathered in Yinling Valley.

However, judging from his current state, he clearly wasn't quite done yet.

Amidst the massive blizzard of Feather Powder, the scarlet Kakugan locked onto the direction of Shen City.

He could sense that some of the Dragon Whisker's beard vines were surging towards Shen City.

This was expected.

After all, these vines act more on instinct.

The Shen City has a high population density, and the vibrant life force is a fatal attraction for those vines.

Having just woken up and being extremely hungry, they would inevitably head there to hunt.

Isn't that a coincidence? Shisui, too, hasn't eaten his fill yet.

This time, he did not directly cross the Space Wormhole to arrive above Shen City.

This would not only cause him to miss the branches of the dragon's Dragon Whisker along the way, but it would also give the vines that had already headed to Shen City a chance to escape.

Therefore, he flew to Shen City, leaving behind enough Radiant Feathers and Feather Powder along the way.

Fortunately, the Yinling Sect and Shen City are not too far apart, and with Shisui's speed, he can arrive in Shen City very soon.

With a flap of its two enormous Ukaku, Shisui vanished from its spot in the blink of an eye, leaving behind a cloud of Feather Powder.

The scene shifts to Shisui's target, Shen City, which is more than 50 kilometers away from Yinling Valley.

The people of Shen City are destined to be sleepless tonight.

First came the conflict between the military and the Chamber of Commerce in the harbor, followed by "rumors" that soldiers were killing civilians.

Not long after, public opinion took a dramatic turn when the authorities released an announcement that the Yinling Sect had betrayed the clan.

Then, the army quickly assembled and headed to Yinling Valley to punish those Human Race traitors.

Before the news had even cooled down, another piece of news followed.

The City Hall officially announced that Shen City had entered a state of war.

Shen City residents: Question mark

Wait, buddy, where did you get yourself here?

Have I lost some of my memory? How did I end up in a state of war?

Everyone thought the same thing, but they didn't talk about it much.

These ordinary citizens know better than anyone what can be said freely and what topics should not be touched upon.

Seeking advantage and avoiding harm is their instinct.

However, it is clear that this instinct only operates within the scope of their perception.

If the enemy is so powerful that these civilians don't even have time to know, then instinct naturally cannot provide early warning.

The same applies to the Heaven-Controlling Realm, and also to Shisui, which follows a branch of the Heaven-Controlling Realm.

Half an hour after the start of wartime.

"Boom--!"

Starting with a deafening roar that echoed throughout the city, the one-sided massacre began.

In front of the Shen City wall facing inland, vines crisscrossed, transforming into a giant serpent thousands of meters long.

The long snake lashed its tail in mid-air, and with a single strike, cracks instantly appeared in the city's Psychic Energy Shield.

The Shen City defense team immediately began firing Psychic Energy Cannons in an attempt to buy time for the shield to repair itself.

But these vines won't let them succeed.

The giant, dark green serpent stopped probing and slammed its body into the still-unrepaired barrier.

"Snap!"

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and the Psychic Energy Shield shattered.

"Fire! Don't let it get into the city!"

The commander on the city wall shouted orders, hoping to boost morale.

But the instinctive tremor in his voice betrayed the fact that he was equally terrified.

Before the Psychic Energy Cannons could fire, the giant serpent formed from gnarled vines, undeterred, smashed through the barrier and crashed straight into the city wall.

Without the Psychic Energy Shield, the thick, tall city walls are no different from earthen walls to such top-level awakened beings.

Crashing through the city wall didn't even slow its speed down; its massive body plowed right through the buildings on the outskirts of Shen City.

In an instant, dust billowed up, and the Psychic Energy Cannons struggled to aim at the vines that had surged into the city.

The surviving soldiers on the city wall could only attack the stems of the vines that had not yet entered the city, in an attempt to slow their advance.

Clearly, this was all in vain.

Furthermore, such behavior could lead to the soldiers' deaths.

The next batch of vines showed no intention of sparing the soldiers on the wall.

Dark green vines spread out like a spider web, climbing up the tall city walls of Dadu.

The city walls that surround and protect the entire city are gradually turning green.

When these vines completely cover the city walls, the Human Race within Shen City will lose their chance to escape by land.

The giant vines that had flooded the city also crumbled and scattered at this moment.

They had already sensed the vibrant prey lurking throughout the city.

The building was snapped in half, and the vines swept away the Human Race hiding inside, engulfing and swallowing them whole.

The bungalows were crushed and collapsed, and the vines swept away the Human Race buried under the bricks and tiles, once again engulfing and swallowing them up.

When the Shisui arrived, it had already slaughtered half of Shen City.

Only the central City Hall, leading the survivors in a desperate resistance, has slowed the vines' advance somewhat.
