Meanwhile, General Staff Department.
Zhou Donglai quickly walked into the combat monitoring and analysis room, his face was extremely serious, and his eyes were solemn as never before.
When all the staff saw him coming in, they straightened their backs subconsciously.
"Attention everyone!" Zhou Donglai's voice echoed in the silent monitoring room, "The following orders are top secret and are strictly prohibited from being disclosed to anyone. Violators will be punished under military law!"
There was silence in the monitoring room, except for the faint hum of instruments running.
"Immediately mobilize all available satellites, lock the Starflare Fighter position of Lin Yi Principal, and conduct real-time tracking and monitoring!" Zhou Donglai ordered in a deep voice, "At the same time, order all East Wind short-range ballistic missile units to enter a first-level combat readiness state and be ready for fire support at any time!"
"Yes!" The correspondent immediately began to convey the order.
As the order was issued, the monitoring room suddenly became busy.
The operators' fingers were tapping rapidly on the console, and instructions were transmitted to all parts of the country through the highest-level encrypted channels.
On the holographic screen, red dots representing missile units quickly lit up on the national map.
At the same time, in missile bases across the country, East Wind short-range ballistic missile launch vehicles slowly drove out of the warehouse and deployed at predetermined positions. The huge missile launch tubes shone coldly in the sun.
The operators quickly got into position, the missile system entered the standby state, and the launch tube was slowly raised, ready to be launched at any time.
Zhou Donglai stared at the real-time satellite surveillance screen with a stern expression, and unconsciously clenched the armrests of the command chair with both hands.
"Report, all East Wind short-range ballistic missiles have entered the standby state and can be launched at any time!"
The screen clearly showed Starflare Fighter hovering in the air fifty kilometers away, as well as the dark purple giant elephant like a mountain in the distance.
--
Fifty kilometers away, Lin Yi was suspended in mid-air, unaware of General Staff's deployment.
All his attention was focused on the dark purple giant elephant in the distance.
This head was named "Nether Abyss Giant Elephant" by General Staff. It exuded heart-stopping energy fluctuations, and the terrifying aura of millions of Source Energy Unit made the surrounding air slightly distorted.
Nether Abyss Giant Elephant was roaring uneasily at this moment, and the sound waves stirred up dust all over the Gobi.
"It's quite sharp. It's a pity that I won't delay it. Let's start with the rules first."
Thinking of this, Lin Yi gently raised one hand and spread his five fingers, as if playing invisible strings in the void.
"Suppression!"
As these understatement words fell, the sky above Nether Abyss Giant Elephant suddenly changed color, and a golden thundercloud suddenly formed above its head.
This thundercloud was neither big nor small, just enough to completely cover the huge body of the giant elephant.
In the thunder clouds, countless fine golden electric snakes swam among them, emitting regular and heart-stopping fluctuations.
"Roar!"
Nether Abyss Giant Elephant let out an angry roar.
It suddenly found that it was extremely difficult to mobilize the rules. The source energy that was originally like an arm seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, and its operation was stagnant.
But it didn't know why it was attacked or where the attack came from, so it could only attack the surroundings randomly.
It swung its proboscis wildly, and a dark purple energy beam shot out from the tip of its nose, instantly leveling a small hill several kilometers away.
Then, it raised its huge elephant legs and stamped on the ground violently. The earth shook and a crack as deep as a hundred meters spread across the Gobi. Countless low-level Abyssal Beasts were turned into powder under this terrifying attack.
The power of Star Core level is fully revealed. Every attack contains the power to destroy the world. The surrounding air is torn apart and the space is trembling slightly.
Nether Abyss Giant Elephant ran like crazy under the golden thunder clouds, leaving a mess in his path. He killed a large number of low-level Abyssal Beast by accidental injuries, but he could never find the source of the attack.
Lin Yi was suspended in the distance, looking coldly at the giant elephant's incompetent rage, with a sneer on his lips.
"This happens when there is a huge gap between the soul level and the understanding of the rules. The weaker party doesn't even know how to get beaten."
Immediately, he slowly raised his right hand, pointing it like a sword with one hand, and raised it above his head.
The Soul Weapon Myriad Forms Sphere that was originally suspended beside him instantly decomposed and turned into countless tiny silver light spots.
These light spots seemed to be pulled by invisible forces and converged above his sword finger, forming a high-speed rotating silver whirlwind.
"Buzz"
The silver whirlwind made a low buzzing sound and spun faster and faster.
As the rotation accelerates, the whirlwind begins to shrink inward, eventually condensing into a high-speed rotating silver cone.
The silver cone is about three feet long, completely silver-white, with mysterious light patterns flowing on its surface.
Immediately afterwards, with the injection of Lin Yi source energy, purple, gold, red, and three-color lightning began to appear on the silver cone, entangled with each other, condensed, and made a crackling sound.
Soon, the three colors of lightning intertwined with each other and finally merged into a deep black lightning.
The black lightning soaked the silver cone like ink. Starting from the tail of the cone, the entire silver cone was gradually infected into a deep black.
When the last bit of silver disappeared, the silver cone had completely turned into a black cone emitting terrifying energy fluctuations.
Nether Abyss Giant Elephant in the distance seemed to be aware of the fatal danger and became more and more manic.
It raised its head and let out a deafening roar, launching two fierce attacks against the golden thunder clouds above its head.
"Boom! Boom!"
Two thick purple energy pillars rose into the sky and struck hard against the golden thunder clouds.
However, these two attacks that could destroy the city seemed to have hit empty space, and the golden thundercloud only rippled slightly before returning to its original state.
A flash of fear flashed in the giant elephant's eyes.
It stomped the ground violently, and the red lines all over its body suddenly burst into dazzling light.
A thick source energy shield formed instantly, completely covering its huge body.
This layer of source energy shield is a deep purple color, dozens of meters thick, with lava-like red energy flowing on its surface, obviously possessing astonishing defensive power.
Lin Yi's eyes were sharp, and his raised arm suddenly waved down.
"Go!"
The black silver cone turned into a black light as thin as a hair and disappeared from the place in an instant.
This black light was so fast that it exceeded the limit of visual capture, as if it directly crossed the distance of space. One second it was pointing in front of Lin Yi's sword, and the next second it had already appeared in front of the giant elephant's source energy shield.
"Pfft!"
There was a slight penetrating sound.
The black silver cone was like a hot knife cutting through butter, easily penetrating the giant elephant's dozens of meters thick source energy shield.
There was only a tiny hole left in the shield, not even a trace of energy fluctuations leaking out.
The giant elephant's pupils suddenly shrank, and it felt death approaching.
But it's too late.
After the black silver cone penetrated the shield, its speed did not slow down at all and directly hit the giant elephant's forehead.
"Tsk!"
A fainter penetrating sound.
The black silver cone shot into the giant elephant's forehead and passed out from the back of its head, bringing up a pool of dark purple blood.
