The Frontline Base nearest to Northwest Base City.
Countless monsters of every kind surged madly against the Frontline Base, while the colossal War Base poured out a frenzied barrage of fire.
Planes swept across the sky, dropping large quantities of new incendiary bombs and turning an area a thousand meters across into a sea of flames.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Meanwhile, figures darted through the monster hordes. They were War God Level warriors who had come from various factions to provide support, and their targets were the troublesome Lord-level Monsters.
Laser cannons needed time to charge. Even a dozen or more could not kill so many Lord-level Monsters fast enough.
Screee!
Suddenly, without the slightest warning, a piercing cry echoed through the area. Then it slipped beyond the range of hearing, sweeping through everything around it.
Buzzzz...
Zheng Cangli, who was attacking a Lord-level Tiger-Scale Beast amid the crowd, was suddenly struck by the terrifying sonic wave.
Pfft!
Even so, ten Junior War Gods and four Intermediate War Gods were killed outright by the sonic attack, while three Senior War Gods were gravely wounded.
Yet even so, ten Beginner War Gods and four Intermediate War Gods died on the spot, while three High-level War Gods suffered severe injuries.
"King-level!!!"
Horror filled Zheng Cangli's face. A shadow abruptly appeared in the sky-a Blood-Eyed Sparrow with crimson pupils, a King-level monster that had long dwelled in the Himalayan Mountains.
Suddenly.
A flash of saber light swept across heaven and earth.
A figure flew in from the distance and immediately engaged the King-level Blood-Eyed Sparrow in battle.
"That's..."
"Second Brother Wang???"
Virtual Space, War God Palace.
Twenty people sat scattered throughout the spacious conference hall. At that moment, the entire hall was deathly silent.
The Devouring Beast had driven nearly a thousand King-level monsters and ocean beast hordes to launch an extermination campaign against humanity, plunging the human race into a crisis of survival.
In just one night.
Eight human base cities around the globe had fallen, and nearly a billion people had died. That was despite two Flowing Silver Guards carrying laser cannons rushing from one base city to another around the world to provide support.
Feinting in the east, striking in the west...
No one knew where the Devouring Beast had learned that tactic. Whenever a Flowing Silver Guard carrying a laser cannon appeared in the Eastern Hemisphere, it launched a surprise attack on the human settlements in the Western Hemisphere, bringing down an entire base city.
Even Kyoto Base City in Huaxia Country had suffered a surprise attack from the Devouring Beast. Had a female Flowing Silver Guard not frightened it off at the critical moment, Kyoto Base City would already have fallen.
If the laser cannons were not deployed as reinforcements, the Devouring Beast simply hid in the ocean and directed the sea monsters from behind the scenes. Once a laser cannon was deployed, it immediately feinted in one direction and struck in another.
Humanity was trapped in a dilemma.
One choice meant immediate extinction; the other meant a slow death. Neither was acceptable.
Even if they chose the slow death, at the current rate at which base cities were falling, humanity would not last three days.
"Everyone!" At the front of the conference hall, Hong's gaze was as sharp as a blade. "Thunder God and I have decided to join forces and fight to the death to kill the Devouring Beast!"
"If the Devouring Beast lives, no human will survive!"
Hong's voice echoed in everyone's ears, but all those seated below remained silent.
In just one night.
The human death toll had exceeded a billion, and more than thirty Councilor Level experts had also died. Everyone present had entered the meeting in haste and might have to leave at any moment.
Luo Feng looked around, his expression grim as well.
Huaxia Country had suffered less because he had killed the Eight-Clawed Beast Emperor and rushed around putting out fires. The emergence of twenty Planetary Level experts from the Military had also helped stabilize the situation for the moment.
But if this continued.
Once the base cities of the Western nations were destroyed, Huaxia Country's Six Great Base Cities would have to bear the pressure of all the world's monsters alone. That was a slow death.
Moreover, the Devouring Beast was growing at an alarming rate. Even if they hid inside spacecraft and survived for now, there would be nowhere to escape once it became stronger.
Once the Devouring Beast reached Universe Level, nowhere on Earth would be safe.
Though everyone in the conference room was reluctant to accept it, they knew this was their last chance.
They could also tell that, despite attacking human base cities several times, the Devouring Beast was not in good condition. Otherwise, it would never have been frightened off by the Flowing Silver Guard in Kyoto Base City.
It was very weak.
This was their last chance.
October 16, 2059.
Humanity's two greatest experts, Hong and Thunder God, arrived over the Pacific Ocean to fight the Devouring Beast to the death.
Domains fully unleashed!
Earth's two supreme experts burned their souls, unleashing an ultimate combined attack at the cost of their lives that drove deep into the Golden Horned Beast's skull.
Scales shattered and flew, and beast blood cascaded like a waterfall!
The Golden Horned Beast suffered another grievous injury, but Hong and Thunder God exhausted all their strength in the process, and both fell.
Humanity plunged into grief and despair once more. Countless people wept uncontrollably, and countless others sank to their knees in anguish!
A cold wind swept across the rooftop. Luo Feng's heart felt utterly chilled.
"No. 2, tell me-if I use the 'Void Tower' method to stake my life, and that still isn't enough, then use the 'Six-Pointed Star' secret technique to have Earth's other experts join me..." A plan rapidly took shape in Luo Feng's mind.
"Luo Feng, don't do anything reckless."
Babata No. 2 said, "According to the schedule Master laid out before leaving, they should arrive within the next two days. The margin of error won't exceed one day. You can wait a little longer."
"There's no time to wait!"
Luo Feng shook his head bitterly. Of course he knew Yang Zheng and the others would soon return, but time waited for no one.
A margin of error of no more than one day?
What if something happened in space and delayed them, making them return even later? Besides, half of humanity worldwide would perish in a single day.
"I'll take the gamble. I won't necessarily die. Hong and Thunder God didn't die, did they?" Luo Feng's gaze was resolute.
"But they fell into a deep sleep!"
Babata No. 2's voice was icy. "According to the records, even Immortal Experts who fall into a deep sleep after suffering severe soul injuries may take a million years to recover. Some never awaken at all."
"No. 2... Babata, actually, back when I was eighteen
and became a warrior, I stopped fearing death!"
Luo Feng gazed at the distant sky, facing the cold wind. "What I fear more is meaninglessness. I fear that Thunder God and the others' sacrifices will have been for nothing. I'm going to take this gamble, for them and for myself!"
"I'll relay your words to Master. After you die, you'll be stripped of your status as a direct disciple!" Babata No. 2 fell silent. It did not object, merely speaking those icy words.
"Hahahaha! Isn't that perfect? Even if I die this time, with Senior Brother Yang around, Yunmo Star's legacy won't die out, and humanity won't be wiped out either."
Luo Feng's laughter silenced Babata No. 2. It was only a copy and had little capacity for emotion, yet at that moment, a trace of something complicated stirred within it-something entirely different from absolute rationality.
"All right. I'll help you!"
With Babata No. 2's help, Luo Feng's proposal was sent to every Planetary Level Councilor.
Just two or three minutes later.
More than fifty replies arrived. Of the seventy Planetary Level experts still alive on Earth, over fifty immediately declared their willingness to sacrifice their souls to help kill the Devouring Beast.
Based on their soul strength, Babata No. 2 quickly selected five people: Mohanderson, Ister, Tripathi Singh, Jia Yi, and Sokolov.
Ten minutes later.
The six chosen heroes bid farewell to their families and friends, then plunged into the vast ocean together.
On this journey.
There was no chance of returning alive!
