The Front Line

After taking the millennium willow heart.

Yun He's strength had approached five hundred thousand kilograms, while the remaining energy from the millennium willow heart had accumulated in his body and continued to be digested and absorbed over this period.

During that time, his physical attributes had continued to improve at an astonishing rate.

By now, his strength had truly exceeded five hundred thousand kilograms. The 512,000 kg peak of a High-level War God was within reach.

At the same time, he had mastered the sixth layer of the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade.

A 4.9-fold power multiplier!

This punch exceeded two million kilograms!

Boom!

The crab-type Lord Monster's entire shell, along with its body, exploded under the blow!

Crab roe, crab paste, scraps of flesh, shattered limbs, and even its pair of enormous pincers flew everywhere!

Yun He steadied himself and raised his right fist. Seeing the cracks his full-power strike had left in his S-Class Combat Gloves, he shook his head, casually pulled them off, and tossed them away.

"So I've already become this strong?"

He turned toward the dumbstruck people on the wall, his gaze finally settling on the army captain. Raising an eyebrow, he asked with a smile, "What did you say your name was again? I didn't catch it."

The captain's mouth hung wide open. Coming to his senses, he hurriedly stood at attention and replied, "My name is Li He. Greetings, War God!"

Yun He smiled faintly and nodded. Then he moved, his entire body becoming a streak of black light that flashed across the battlefield. Wherever he passed, monsters exploded-even two Elementary Lord-level monsters were no exception.

Since I'm already this strong, I might as well go on a proper killing spree!

At that moment, Yun He's heart brimmed with killing intent. All he wanted was to slaughter to his heart's content.

Perhaps the soldier named Li He had rubbed off on him.

For that moment, Yun He actually felt his blood surge.

Splat!

Bang!

Boom!

He darted across the battlefield amid flying flesh and blood, through the endless hordes of sea monsters.

Numerous large-caliber bullets and even artillery shells struck him, but Yun He did not slow in the slightest. He simply did not care.

With his body's toughness, Yun He had nothing to fear from this so-called artillery fire. Besides, he was wearing an S-Class Combat Suit, which could withstand attacks from High-level Lord-level monsters.

Ordinary anti-materiel sniper rifles could only threaten some Elementary Beast General Level monsters. Large-caliber shells could generally kill Intermediate Beast General-level monsters. Against High-level Beast Generals, however, it came down entirely to luck.

Lord-level monsters required laser cannons.

"Roar!"

Relying on the protection of its thick shell, a gigantic turtle-type monster forced its way through the artillery fire to the foot of the wall and rammed the War Base with all its might.

The entire section of wall shuddered violently, and large chunks of concrete broke away.

Boom!

Another violent impact shook the already-ravaged wall. Inside it, many soldiers sheltering there to operate the artillery were killed outright by the shock.

"Die!"

Yun He roared and raced over like a bolt of lightning. Reaching the monster, he punched its retracted head straight into its belly.

Hiss!

At the same instant, a dazzling beam of white light shot silently from one of the towers inside the War Base!

Avoiding Yun He, the beam pierced the turtle-type monster's thick shell from the side and emerged from the other end, burning a pitch-black passage straight through its body!

A laser cannon!

This was Yun He's first time witnessing a laser cannon's power in real life.

Bzz!

Suddenly, his Communication Watch vibrated.

Yun He raised his wrist and saw the name Li Dawei on the caller display.

"Hello, Li," Yun He said as he answered.

Just before Yun He unleashed his strength for the first time.

Inside the command hall of the War Base.

Three-dimensional virtual projections surrounded the room, faithfully recreating the battle unfolding outside.

Li Dawei wore a grave expression, with other senior Military officers standing beside him.

As for the War Gods, everyone except Li Dawei had long since gone out to the front line to assist the troops and deal with monsters capable of breaking into the War Base.

Beep, beep, beep!

An alarm sounded.

"A Lord-level Monster has appeared in Area A089 and is about to attack the wall!" the alarm system warned.

At the same time, the three-dimensional virtual projection immediately enlarged one view. It showed the section of wall where Yun He stood.

"Locate the nearby War Gods!" Li Dawei ordered at once.

"Reporting! There are three War Gods near Area A089, but none of them can break away at present." Within seconds, a staff member reported back. Live footage of the three War Gods battling Lord-level monsters appeared alongside the report.

Li Dawei remained expressionless, but sighed inwardly. It's too late...

As the crab-type Lord-level Monster reached the foot of the wall in the footage and raised its enormous pincers, ready to strike, Li Dawei could only clench his fists in silence.

Casualties were inevitable in war.

He had already prepared himself to accept the losses.

But just then, a black figure flashed past, moving too quickly for the feed to capture. The image finally froze on the crab-type Lord Monster's exploding body.

"What?!"

Li Dawei and the other senior Military officers were all startled, their eyes widening.

Li Dawei, in particular, began breathing rapidly. Staring fixedly at the image, he shouted, "Enlarge the image and replay it immediately! Hurry!"

"Yes, sir!"

Soon, the footage replayed in slow motion. Only at one-hundredth speed could they make out the black figure clearly as he leaped from the wall and arrived above the crab-type Lord Monster's head. His right fist swung out, blasting apart the air ahead. The fist struck the monster's shell, and the terrifying force blew the entire creature apart!

"The power of that punch!" the senior Military officers exclaimed.

Beep!

The system's energy analysis came back, and the number displayed made Li Dawei's heart pound violently.

2,480,000 kg!

This was only an approximate figure. The last four zeros indicated that an exact reading was impossible; there was simply too much interference on the battlefield.

Even that approximate figure was frightening enough!

For an ordinary High-level War God, a burst of strength exceeding one million kilograms was already an impressive result.

Very few High-level War Gods in the entire world could reach two million kilograms at full power.

War Gods whose explosive power exceeded two million kilograms were even rarer than beings Beyond War God-level: Planetary-level Councilors.

Such War Gods were generally known as Invincible War Gods!

Had another Invincible War God appeared?

"Quick! Contact the intelligence department immediately. I want every scrap of information on this War God!" Li Dawei ordered at once.

Three minutes later, the National Special Department sent over all the detailed intelligence on Yun He.

The report was extremely thorough. It recorded his birth, schooling, martial hall experience, Quasi-Warrior Assessment, Martial Artist Combat Assessment, his suspected personal kills of six High-level Beast General-level monsters, and more.

At the end, a red heading read: Suspected peak High-level Battle General!

With the battle so urgent, Li Dawei could only steal moments to read the report while directing operations.

Five minutes later.

Li Dawei angrily tossed the report aside. "Suspected peak High-level Battle General? Those idiots!"

He's already an Invincible War God!

Still, some of the information had caught Li Dawei's attention.

Twenty-one years old!

He did not truly belong to any faction or organization.

He was merely an independent martial artist affiliated with the Limit Martial Hall.

His agreement with the Limit Martial Hall was only a standard contract. By paying a certain penalty for breach of contract, Yun He could leave the Limit Martial Hall immediately.

Li Dawei immediately reported these findings to his superiors and personally called Yun He.
