"Get up!"
Lin Yuan let out an earth-shaking roar.
Under the dumbfounded gazes of over a billion viewers across the internet.
He actually heaved the Mutant Wild Ox, weighing more than ten tons, straight into the air!
"Is he even human...?"
Countless people had only that single thought left in their minds.
"Get lost!"
Lin Yuan twisted at the waist and hurled the ten-ton wild ox like a hidden weapon at the dense beast pack ahead.
"Boom—"
The massive wild ox crashed into the beast horde, instantly crushing dozens of First-Tier Ferocious Beasts to death.
The wild ox itself was also smashed so badly that its internal organs ruptured, blood pouring from its seven orifices as it died on the spot.
In just a few seconds.
Three Second-Tier Ferocious Beasts had been instantly killed by Lin Yuan in the most brutal and overwhelming fashion!
"Gulp..."
Inside the Southwest Military Region command center.
Even Commander Zhao Dingbang, a battle-hardened veteran, swallowed hard at that moment.
He knew Third-Tier Martial Artists were strong.
But strength at this level was simply too absurd!
"Good!"
"Well killed!"
The next moment.
Zhao Dingbang slammed a hand onto the table and roared excitedly.
Meanwhile, an unprecedented celebration erupted across Dragon Country's civilian internet.
"Triple kill! A perfect triple kill!"
"This is Dragon Country's foundation! This is a Third-Tier Martial Artist!"
"I'm screenshotting that scene and passing it down as a family heirloom!"
"He's too strong! With Colonel Lin here, Shu Capital is safe!"
Morale in Dragon Country soared like a rainbow.
But at this moment.
Foreign internet communities and high-level conference rooms had fallen into dead silence.
Because.
While Dragon Country was livestreaming its Beast Tide.
More than a hundred Beast Tides across the world had also erupted in full force!
"No!"
"This can't be real!"
As he stared at the satellite surveillance footage on the screen.
The Grand Commander's hands shook violently, and he did not even notice the coffee spilling all over his pants.
The screen showed their armored forces engaging the Beast Tide.
At first, modern heavy machine guns and artillery had indeed inflicted effective casualties on the First-Tier Ferocious Beasts.
But once the Second-Tier Ferocious Beasts appeared, the situation instantly reversed.
A Mutant Giant Bear over five meters long charged straight toward the defensive line through dense Vulcan Cannon fire.
Large-caliber bullets could barely pierce its thick fur and could not inflict fatal wounds at all.
The giant bear roared and slammed down its enormous paw.
"Boom!"
A main battle tank weighing dozens of tons was actually slapped onto its side by a single blow!
Its turret warped, and the soldiers inside died instantly.
Elsewhere.
A pack of Mutated Wild Wolves as large as cattle charged directly into the position with their terrifying speed.
The rifles in the soldiers' hands could not even track their movements.
Piercing screams echoed through the night sky.
The defensive line collapsed.
Those soldiers who normally stood so high and mighty completely abandoned their honor and discipline.
They threw down their weapons, screaming and crying as they fled toward the rear.
But how could humans on two legs possibly outrun mutated Ferocious Beasts?
A one-sided massacre unfolded across the position.
"Fighter jets!"
"Get the air force to support us!"
"Blast those damned monsters out of the sky!"
The Grand Commander roared himself hoarse.
Very soon.
Several state-of-the-art fighter jets streaked across the sky with a howl.
Before they could drop their bombs.
A vast, dark mass of clouds suddenly appeared in the sky.
It was thousands upon thousands of Mutant Raptors!
At their head was a Mutant Giant Eagle with a wingspan exceeding fifteen meters, like some prehistoric pterosaur.
It let out a piercing eagle cry and transformed into a bolt of black lightning, diving straight at a fighter jet.
The pilot frantically pulled the controls, trying to evade.
But the giant eagle was simply too fast.
"Riiip—"
A teeth-grinding sound of tearing metal rang out.
The giant eagle's claws, harder than steel, actually tore through the fighter jet's wing!
The fighter jet instantly lost balance and plunged toward the ground amid billowing black smoke.
In only a few minutes.
The air force squadron they had been so proud of was completely wiped out.
Without the army's obstruction.
The berserk Beast Tide surged mercilessly into the prosperous cities behind them like a flood.
Skyscrapers collapsed with thunderous crashes under the impacts of gigantic beasts.
The streets were littered with mangled corpses and civilians crying out in despair.
It was practically hell on earth.
And it was not just that superpower.
The same tragedy was playing out in every region around the world.
They finally realized something.
Faced with such unreasonable mutations brought by the Spiritual Energy Revival.
Modern conventional weapons alone simply could not completely stop the advance of High-Tier Ferocious Beasts.
The news quickly made its way back to Dragon Country through the internet.
Dragon Country's netizens all fell silent as they watched the tragic videos leaking out from overseas.
They watched the foreign civilians being treated like snacks by Ferocious Beasts.
Then they looked at Dragon Country's army and martial artists on the livestream, building an iron Great Wall with their flesh and blood.
Everyone's eyes reddened.
"Thank you, Motherland!"
"Being born in Dragon Country is the greatest fortune of my life!"
"If not for the martial artists, if not for the army, what's happening overseas would be our fate too!"
"Go, Colonel Lin! Go, Dragon Country's soldiers!"
"..."
Patriotic fervor reached its peak at that moment.
At the same time.
The other five Beast Tide outbreak points in Dragon Country were also locked in brutal battles.
Kunlun Mountains.
Su Qingxue held a longsword as her Mid-Second-Tier Stage cultivation erupted in full.
She might not have possessed Lin Yuan's monstrous suppressive power.
But with her abundant combat experience from her previous life, she forcefully held back that Late Second-Tier Stage Ferocious Beast.
Taihang Mountains, Shennongjia...
At every defensive line, martial artists fought while drenched in blood.
There might be casualties, and there might be danger.
But Dragon Country's defensive lines remained as steady as a rock.
Not a single Ferocious Beast could cross the line by even half a step!
Shu Capital.
Inside the military family residential compound.
At Lin Yuan's home.
Lin Xiaoxiao pointed at the television screen, her little face flushed red as she jumped about excitedly.
"Dad! Mom!"
"Look, quick!"
"My brother is so cool!"
"He killed a leopard with one punch! And he even threw out a huge wild ox!"
Lin Jianguo stared fixedly at the screen.
He said nothing.
But his callused hands gripped the arms of the sofa tightly.
He was squeezing so hard that his knuckles had already turned white.
Yet his eyes shone with pride that he could not hide.
That was his son!
A hero of Dragon Country!
Zhang Hui covered her mouth as tears streamed uncontrollably down her face.
She did not understand Third-Tier Martial Artists or the greater cause of the nation.
She only knew that the blood-covered young man on the screen was a piece of her own flesh.
"Xiaoyuan..."
"You have to come back safely..."
Zhang Hui did not dare blink.
She was afraid that the moment she closed her eyes, her son would encounter danger.
At the very front of the Shu Capital Defense Line.
Under the cover of the military's heavy firepower.
Over a hundred First-Order Martial Artists desperately held back the assault of the ordinary Beast Tide.
They could not charge deep into enemy ranks like Lin Yuan, but they were still the strongest shields of the defensive line.
And in the deepest part of the Beast Tide.
Lin Yuan had completely transformed into a killing machine.
"Die!"
The Overlord Spear swept out once more.
Two Early Second Tier Ferocious Beasts attempting a sneak attack had their spines smashed apart.
Including the previous four, the number of Second-Tier Ferocious Beasts killed by Lin Yuan had already reached six!
Blood had completely dyed Lin Yuan's combat uniform red.
Some of it belonged to Ferocious Beasts, and some of it was his own.
Even a body at the Third-Tier Bone Tempering Realm felt a trace of exhaustion after such continuous high-intensity combat.
But the Heavenly Dipper Qi Refining Formula within him operated at a terrifying speed, constantly and frantically drawing spiritual energy from the air and converting it into True Qi to replenish his expenditure.
He was like a perpetual-motion machine.
Every breath allowed him to unleash even greater power.
He was getting closer and closer to the Ironclad Mad Ape.
Three hundred meters.
Two hundred meters.
One hundred meters!
Along the way.
No Ferocious Beast could stop Lin Yuan.
First-Tier Ferocious Beasts died on contact.
Even Second-Tier Ferocious Beasts could not last a single exchange.
When he was only fifty meters away from the Ironclad Mad Ape.
"Roar!"
A Mutant Rhino the size of an armored vehicle and a two-headed Mutant Giant Python blocked Lin Yuan's path at the same time.
They were two Mid-Second-Tier Stage Ferocious Beasts!
They were also the Ironclad Mad Ape's final bodyguards.
"Move!"
Lin Yuan's gaze was icy.
He had no intention of slowing down.
He gripped the 860-pound Overlord Spear in both hands and raised it over his head.
True Qi surged into it wildly.
At the spearhead, a solid spear aura several meters long actually condensed!
"Break!"
The spear fell like a meteor, smashing toward the two Ferocious Beasts.
The Mutant Rhino lowered its head, attempting to withstand the blow with its horn.
"Crack!"
The hard horn did not hold for even a second before snapping apart.
The spear crashed down with the momentum.
"Boom!"
The rhino's enormous head was violently smashed into its chest cavity!
The Two-Headed Giant Python had not even had time to spit its venom.
Lin Yuan borrowed the recoil and swept the spear sideways.
"Slash!"
The spear aura flashed past.
Two massive snake heads shot into the sky, and foul-smelling blood sprayed across the ground.
At this point.
The number of Second-Tier Ferocious Beasts killed by Lin Yuan had reached eight!
The entire battlefield fell silent.
It was not only the First-Tier Ferocious Beasts whose courage had been shattered, leaving them too afraid to approach.
Even the more than one billion viewers in the livestream did not dare breathe loudly.
Because...
Lin Yuan had finally broken through the Fifteen-Hundred-Thousand Beast Tide's blockade and arrived not far from the Ironclad Mad Ape.
