The beast tide's slaughter came to an end, and the heart of the forest was utterly silent.
Amidst the wreckage and congealed blood scattered on the ground, all the Goblin invaders were annihilated, and there was no further movement.
Lu Heng stepped forward, passing through the tangled web of Bloodthirsty Vine, his gaze fixed firmly on the very center of the arena.
The Plane Teleportation Device stood silently amidst the ruins.
The stone platform's patterns were dim, Plane barrier trembled slightly. It seemed calm, but it kept Lu Heng's muscles taut all the time.
He couldn't forget what happened last time.
It was from deep within this Portal that a sudden, fatal attack pierced through layers of obstacles, severely injuring him. That abrupt, ruthless, and unpredictable Plane assault remains etched in his memory.
Beyond the Plane portals, unknown dangers forever lurk.
Lu Heng gripped the Star Blade tightly with his five fingers. The hilt of the Star Blade was slightly cool, and the icy touch instantly calmed his mind completely.
He poured all his strength into the blade.
The faint, cool starlight patterns slowly lit up along the blade, restrained and refined, without any ostentatious halo, only layers of extremely sharp, destructive power stacked up. His gaze was fixed on the dark depths of the Portal, his mental power activated to the extreme, capturing every fluctuation of airflow and every inch of energy vibration within the portal.
If the opponent dares to launch another sneak attack, he will immediately counterattack and kill them.
At the moment when he had accumulated to the maximum, Lu Heng's wrist sank slightly.
Several extremely refined sword lights shot out from the sky, layer upon layer, slashing straight into the dark space inside the Portal.
Buzz--
The Plane barrier trembled and roared.
The flash of the blade pierced through the darkness behind the door, completely disappearing and vanishing.
The room was empty; there was no counterattack, no surprise attack, no hidden killing intent, and not even a trace of residual energy fluctuations.
The anticipated sneak attack did not occur.
Lu Heng stood still, and instantly understood the key point.
The Green Demon Plane has indeed paid a heavy price this time.
This wave of forces was not a scattered squad; it was a well-trained elite force— the Elite Green Demon Squad, a large number of Goblin Warrior, Goblin Mage skilled in ranged suppression, and Goblin Squads.
Each and every one of them is a key fighting force in the Plane war.
The cultivation, development, and institutionalization of an invading force require enormous resources, time, and resources.
Now they have all perished in the Mist Forest, a complete annihilation.
The opposing side had no strength left to launch another fatal ambush through this Portal.
Lu Heng quietly made a judgment in his heart.
This also means that once he launches a counterattack Plane and actively invades the Green Demon World, the resistance he will face will be significantly reduced. He can advance step by step by carefully maintaining the remaining forces.
No more worries.
Lu Heng's eyes turned cold, and he stepped forward.
He unleashed all the power he had accumulated in his Star Blade, slashing straight down.
Click--!
The solid Plane stone platform shattered instantly, the teleportation barrier that supported the passage between the two realms broke apart inch by inch, and the dark Plane passage completely broke and collapsed in the middle.
Debris flew everywhere, and energy dissipated.
The Plane passage that runs through the Mist Forest is now completely obsolete.
The source of the invasion has been completely cut off.
After doing all this, Lu Heng did not stop.
This upheaval has completely distorted the Mist Forest. The vegetation, soil, moisture, and miasma are all tainted by the distorted power of the chaotic Plane, leaving countless hidden dangers. As long as the traces remain, this land will never be truly at peace.
It needs to be completely cleared out, uprooted completely.
With a thought, Lu Heng instantly revived the Blood Taisui buried deep beneath the forest.
Countless blood vessels burst forth from the soil, piercing through the soil layers, wrapping around tree trunks, and penetrating every inch of the mutated vegetation.
We will not restrain or parasitize.
It only devours and crushes.
The mutated energy, deformed vegetation, and chaotic aura of the entire Mist Forest were forcibly extracted, absorbed, and dissolved by the Blood Taisui. Tall ancient trees withered and crumbled, strange forest vegetation turned to ashes, and the chaotic mist that lingered year after year was drained away layer by layer.
Visibly, the eerie atmosphere of the entire forest rapidly dissipated.
All anomalies caused by the Plane invasion have been cleared.
The vast Mist Forest, from its depths to its outer edges, was completely purified, pulverized, and had all its distorted power drained.
After the last trace of mutated energy was absorbed by the Blood Taisui, Lu Heng withdrew from the core area and stopped at the edge of the forest.
The next instant, a vague and ethereal consciousness enveloped the entire mountain forest.
It is the will of the Mist Forest.
"Regional cleanup complete, all remaining filth eliminated, this round of Plane invasion ends."
As soon as the calm words fell, a towering fire suddenly erupted throughout the entire Mist Forest.
A raging fire swept across the vast forest, burning away the remaining branches, scorching the blood, and consuming all the debris of the battle. The flames soared into the sky, completely dispelling the cold mist that had long shrouded the forest.
The forest fire is the final, complete purification.
Amidst the firelight, a solid talisman slowly appeared before Lu Heng's eyes, hovering silently.
"The reward for defending this territory is yours."
Lu Heng raised his hand, his fingertips touching the surface of the talisman.
Slightly cool, rustic, with patterns intertwined with a faint gray-black mist.
[Mist Talisman]
[For group battles only]
[A poisonous mist domain can be artificially created, containing a corrosive toxin that continuously erodes the enemy's sanity, spirit, and will to fight.]
Those whose will has crumbled will automatically transform into mindless, controlled Puppet.
After seeing the results, Lu Heng frowned slightly.
That's too targeted.
This is too suspicious.
It's a pure trump card for large-scale group battles, useless in one-on-one duels, and is specifically designed for large-scale enemy legion battles and Plane legion melees.
It came too deliberately, and too timely.
The faint voice of the Forest Will resounded once more, carrying a distant, timeless foreshadowing:
"Get ready."
"The true Plane counterattack is about to begin."
"This talisman is a special trump card specifically reserved for you to counterbalance the Green Demon Plane."
As the words faded, the void in the forest slowly dissipated.
The fire continues to ravage the forest, yet the world remains clear and bright.
Lu Heng held the Mist Talisman in his palm, a strange and inexplicable premonition rising in his heart.
The opponent seemed to have foreseen the future battle, and even the Green Demon Plane's counterattack methods.
But he had no idea what would happen, what the impending changes would be, or where this Plane war would ultimately lead.
All we know is that an even bigger conflict is on the way.
