"Human!"

The Blood Demon Wolf King, violated from behind, stopped fleeing. Its eyes burned red as it searched for the one who had hurt it so badly. Even if it died, it could not accept such a humiliating method.

But Lu Yunhe, who had anticipated this, did not pause for even a moment and slipped straight into the woods.

Though he wanted to test the strength of an early Lord Level Monster, now was not the time. At the very least, he needed to find a good weapon first.

By then, Dong Nanbiao, who had been pursuing it, finally caught up and blocked the Blood Demon Wolf King's path.

Boom...

Explosions like artillery fire rang out continuously through the dense forest, accompanied by furious Beast Roars.

Having left the battlefield, Lu Yunhe headed toward Wolf King Valley at an unhurried pace.

"I've drawn all the Blood Demon Wolf King's hatred onto myself. If Dong Nanbiao still can't kill it like this, then forget it."

It was only a small Blood Demon Wolf King. Lu Yunhe did not care much about it, because the Ultraman Avatar within him seemed about to break through.

During that life-and-death battle, Lu Yunhe's mental will had transformed, naturally affecting the Ultraman Avatar on the other side as well.

As a Pinnacle Cosmic Race, the Ultraman Avatar began evolving directly toward the Planetary Level after receiving that stimulation to its spiritual power.

In truth, given the Ultraman Avatar's genetic talent, it should not have had an apprentice stage at all. It had only been born without cultivation due to the power of the Illustrated Compendium.

Crossing the apprentice stage and entering the Planetary Level was equivalent to a Pinnacle Cosmic Race being formally born—the Infant Stage.

At this stage, the Ultraman Avatar would gradually begin awakening some of the power that had always belonged to it.

Lu Yunhe had a feeling that the Planetary Level was still only the foundation. Once it reached the Growth Stage at the Stellar level, the Ultraman Avatar would fully unleash its potential.

Within Lu Yunhe's Sea of Consciousness, the Light Sphere formed by the Ultraman Avatar had completely drawn in its radiance. It no longer released the slightest trace of Gene Energy, as though it were gathering strength for its formal birth.

"Looks like I need to be more careful for a while and avoid disturbing the Ultraman Avatar's transformation."

Lu Yunhe pondered inwardly. With his current overall strength, he should have no problem below the War God Level. But against a War God, he was completely outmatched.

Once one reached the War God Level, human fighters possessed all kinds of force-generation techniques and high-level movement skills, while Monsters began displaying their racial talents. Strength could no longer be judged by realm alone.

"I probably won't run into an enemy at the War God Level anytime soon, right?"

Lu Yunhe returned to Wolf King Valley and met up with the four others. They were expertly dissecting the Blood Demon Wolf corpses. Beast Soldier Level Monsters were one thing, but Beast General-level Monster corpses were extremely valuable.

Lacking the relevant experience, Lu Yunhe sat off to the side alone, reviewing the battle and considering where he still had room to improve.

But after thinking it over, the area with the greatest room for improvement was probably his basic strength.

After a while, Dong Nanbiao finally walked over carrying the Blood Demon Wolf King's corpse.

"So slow!"

Lu Yunhe could not help complaining. Killing a mere early Lord Level Monster had taken so long, and it had nearly escaped.

Dong Nanbiao had been somewhat excited after taking down a Lord-level Monster, but Lu Yunhe's words immediately darkened his face.

In this era, it was an extremely difficult feat for a human martial artist to Solo Kill a Lord-level Monster. It was something to boast about to anyone.

"When you can kill a Lord-level Monster by yourself, I'll work directly under you."

Dong Nanbiao said gloomily. He had seen Lu Yunhe's battle clearly enough. The guy was simply not human.

Especially when he had suddenly rushed at the Blood Demon Wolf King near the end—it had nearly scared Dong Nanbiao to death.

An Advanced Warrior had actually dared to charge head-on at a Lord-level Monster. No one would believe it if he told them.

"I never would've guessed, Little Dong, that you were so calculating. You actually locked down the position of my first Great General while I'm still weak."

Lu Yunhe looked deeply surprised. By the time his human body could Solo Kill Lords, who knew what level the Ultraman Avatar would have reached?

"You brat, give you an inch and you take a mile!"

Dong Nanbiao nearly choked on his anger. Even the Blood Demon Wolf King had not dealt him this much damage.

"But it's finally over."

After the joking ended, Dong Nanbiao and the others returned to the base with the Blood Demon Wolf King's corpse and the Beast General-level corpses of its subordinates.

Though they were delighted to have killed a Lord, there was no celebratory feast under the current circumstances. After resting briefly, they headed back into the wilderness.

After several days of clearing the wilderness, the base's relocation preparations were finally complete. The formal transfer was about to begin.

"These Monsters can't all be killed. The safety of the civilians along the route is up to you."

Dong Nanbiao addressed the more than one hundred martial artists under him. Once the great battle began, these ordinary martial artists would be unable to contribute, so they were better assigned to suitable tasks.

As for Dong Nanbiao, as a War God, he was qualified to participate in a major battle and naturally had to remain here.

"Begin the operation!"

Dong Nanbiao glanced at Lu Yunhe, who showed no signs of making trouble, and inwardly let out a small sigh of relief.

"At a critical time like this, don't go making some huge mess."

Lu Yunhe truly had no particular ideas at the moment. He obediently followed the arrangements and helped relocate the base.

Though it was a massive relocation involving a city of over a million people, the only sounds at the scene were the hum of machinery and shouts from loudspeakers. There was no other noise.

After all, as survivors of the Great Cataclysm, everyone was highly experienced.

Countless predecessors had paid with their lives to establish the first rule of the Great Cataclysm: whenever there was movement of people, no one was allowed to make a sound.

In fact, for a complicated species like humans, simply not talking could eliminate 99% of trouble.

Unless it concerned the safety of most people, anyone who made a sound would basically be shot on the spot. Even if you were about to die the next moment, you had to die quietly.

Thus, despite the relocation of an entire city base, the scene was eerily silent, with only specially designed electronic guidance voices audible.

The occasional gunshot made people bite their lips hard. There would always be fools who suddenly lost their minds and wasted bullets.

As the civilians in the base were being relocated, a massive number of sea Monsters were gathering along the coast on the other side.

Under the pressure of Lord-level Monsters, countless sea Monsters converged on the coast bit by bit, constantly digging into the embankments and widening the river channels.

The enormous horde of sea Monsters was like a powder keg, needing only a single spark to ignite it.

The ban on speaking was an idea that suddenly came to me as the author. It's just my personal view, so don't dwell on it too much. ()
