Almost instantly, he arrived on the Earth's surface.

Sun Fei's expression turned serious.

At this moment, he was in what he remembered as Beijing City, the capital of China.

However, the bustling, crowded, and vibrant scene he had imagined did not appear in Sun Fei's view. Instead, there were collapsed buildings, abandoned and damaged cars, dilapidated shops, floating white plastic bags, and countless human corpses and swarms of flies...

This is an apocalyptic scene that was once only seen in science fiction movies.

The blood had dried on the ground, leaving brown scars.

Judging from the scene, humanity was clearly caught off guard and encountered an unimaginably terrifying enemy, suddenly embarking on a mass exodus. Unfortunately, the enemy was too formidable, so nearly 20% of the population perished on the escape route, becoming corpses...

There were bodies among the cars that crashed together...

There are bodies next to the collapsed building...

There was a corpse at the entrance of the dilapidated shop...

Everywhere were countless corpses, mothers and children embracing each other, the Old Man, women, men and children...

The faces of every corpse were frozen in extreme terror.

Sun Fei sighed and bent down to observe carefully.

"They died from being pierced by a sharp weapon, huh? Some of them even had their brains drained... Judging from the state of decomposition, the disaster must have happened more than ten days ago..."

Sun Fei walked through the streets littered with corpses and gleaned some information.

Just then, a series of crashing sounds, like a herd of elephants stampeding, suddenly came to my ears, and the ground began to tremble violently.

Sun Fei turned his head and his expression changed drastically.

insect!

A gigantic insect, resembling a mutated spider.

Insect Race?

[ The Defiler ]?

Several nouns and pronouns suddenly flashed into Sun Fei's mind.

Emerging from the collapsed buildings and sewers like a swarm of bees were actually the real Insect Race —or rather, the [ Defiler ]. This time, only the most primitive insectoids appeared, resembling giant spiders covered in bone armor, with ironically long legs that, like swords and spears, could pierce through steel plates several centimeters thick.

The insects discovered Sun Fei.

Driven by their thirst for flesh and blood and their instinct to kill, they frantically surrounded them from all sides.

Sun Fei suddenly understood the real reason why Beijing had become ruins.

"Where did these damned bugs come from? Old Pope Stábile the [ Defiler ] had been completely eradicated, but why are these things appearing on Earth? Are they remnants of the [ Defiler ], or is Old Pope Stábile?"

Sun Fei suddenly realized that he seemed to have overlooked something.

Sun Fei didn't even bother with the frenzied Insect Race rushing towards him. Even without reacting, these [ Defiler ] of such power couldn't even get within a kilometer of his body.

The insects charged frantically, even piling up one on top of another like a human pyramid to get around the energy shield, hissing lowly as they tried to pierce the invisible protective barrier around Sun Fei's body with their long legs, which were comparable to divine weapons.

"A swarm of ants... die."

Sun Fei exhaled softly, and with a slight release of his power, all the insects exposed on the ground instantly turned into ashes and disappeared into the air amidst their roars.

The whole world instantly became quiet.

Suddenly, he looked up and noticed something, staring at a half-collapsed 100-story building about 500 meters away.

"My God, what am I seeing?" In the distance, on the rooftop terrace of the completely dilapidated 100-story skyscraper [ Times Tower ], a burly man wearing a military vest was lying on the edge of the terrace, peering through binoculars, and exclaimed in disbelief.

Beside him were four or five China people who looked agitated, frightened, and extremely listless.

" Wang Jian, what are you yelling about? Keep your voice down, or you'll attract the bugs down below," someone complained.

" Jian Jie, Dashi, you won't believe what I saw!" Wang Jian put down his binoculars, his eyes wide, and quickly called his companions over. "Look, did you see that? There's someone at the intersection 500 meters away..."

"Huh? It really is a living person. Poor fellow, have the insects already discovered him? Ah, he's surrounded. Poor thing, he won't live much longer." Someone sighed with pity.

"No, look closely, the insects can't get past it at all. They can't get any closer than a meter away from that guy..." Someone noticed something was wrong.

"He was wearing a long white robe, like in ancient costume, and his hair was so long! Holy crap, is this guy an actor...?"

"Huh? It really is... Oh my god..."

"God!"

"God!"

"Buddha!"

They had initially felt pity and mockery, but when the group suddenly saw thousands upon thousands of insects turn to ash and vanish into the air without warning, everyone felt as if their hearts had been gripped by a powerful Big Hand. Their minds went blank, and they even forgot to breathe.

In that instant, what weapon was that...?

It instantly killed all the thousands of insects?

As one of the few survivors in the city, they had all witnessed the horrors of the insects.

Ordinary small-caliber rifles cannot shatter the bony exoskeleton of insects from 200 meters away. Only heavy-duty Ripper machine guns are the nemesis of these insects, but even that wouldn't be enough to create such an exaggerated scene.

Just then--

"Damn it, he seems to have spotted us." Wang Jian saw the strange man at the crossroads turn his head, his eyes gleaming with a Daozi, piercing gaze.

"Who is he?"

"Could it be a deity descending to earth?"

At that moment, everyone was stunned.

"Are you talking about me? I'm not some kind of deity." A clear voice suddenly came from behind the crowd.

Wang Jian and his companions were terrified.

When they turned around, their mouths gaped open in disbelief.

The strange figures that were just standing at the crossroads some distance away suddenly appeared behind them in an instant... How did they do that?

Some people instinctively turned their heads to look.

Sure enough, the intersection below was now deserted.

"Who... are you?"

Wang Jian and the others instinctively became alert, their hearts pounding. Although they had escaped death and witnessed all sorts of unbelievable things in recent days, they were still shocked by the person in front of them.
