The Seventh Base

Chapter 454: 72nd Chapter: The Monarch_2
 

Over the sea domain, a line of monsters swooped in to attack, with many targeting Xu Mo’s direction. As humans—Transcendents—ventured further into the sea domain, they grew more dispersed, while the number of monsters only increased, leading to a highly unfavorable situation.

This was why those top-tier individuals were eager to make a rapid progression, reaching the center region of the Super Energy Body.

A fierce bird-like monster pounced towards Xu Mo, its claws shimmering with Energy Light. Xu Mo’s Mecha accelerated forward, charging ahead with his Energy Battle Blade vibrating intensely.

“Hum…” The claws struck down but hit empty air as Xu Mo evaded the attack in a heartbeat. The Mecha’s Energy Battle Blade slashed out, cleanly slicing through the monster’s abdomen, splattering blood onto the Mecha.

Xu Mo didn’t stop moving. Ahead, several monsters spat out beams of Energy Light at him, but his Mecha sped up, zigzagging forward with a reaction speed that was terrifyingly swift, weaving through the energy beams.

“Pfft, pfft, pfft…” The War Saber slashed out repeatedly, and in an instant, several monsters were cut down.

“Impressive, much stronger than I was back in the day,” Han Hu praised from the sidelines, having taken down an S-class monster with Ye Xi’s help. Both were clad in S-grade suits.

“Nonsense,” Ye Xi retorted with disdain.

“Heh, why is it nonsense? I was also a one-in-a-million genius back then,” Han Hu said. “But I really like this kid; his potential is endless. Once he cultivates to the S-rank and borrows SS-grade equipment, the combat power he could unleash would be astonishing. He could stand on his own, just like their team leader, Ye Huan.”

The Divine Sword Team’s captain, Ye Huan, along with the captains of the Shenluo Combat Team and Galaxy Team, were figures who could handle things on their own, with incredibly strong combat power.

Especially Ye Huan, he was capable of solo-killing SS-class monsters.

While talking, the group continued moving forward.

“Hum…” Just then, a terrifying silver Lightning strike came, fast to the utmost.

“Be careful,” Ye Xi shouted, while Han Hu immediately raised the shield on his left arm.

“Boom…” A loud noise echoed as Han Hu was sent flying. He hadn’t even clearly seen the monster that struck him; it was too fast.

In Xu Mo’s perception, the monster was silver, bathed in lightning light. It had narrow eyes, a sharp body, and the moment it defeated Han Hu, it turned and charged towards Xu Mo with terrifying S-rank Energy Light bursting forth, its destructive power extremely frightening.

Xu Mo pulled back, but the monster’s speed was horrific as it rushed towards him. Just then, Ye Xi appeared in front of him, slashing out terrifyingly fast with an Energy Sword Light.

The sword light struck the monster, yet it continued to charge, slamming into Ye Xi.

With a splattering sound, blood sprayed as the sword made its slash, and Ye Xi was sent flying, coughing and keeping a deathly gaze on what lay ahead.

Fu Yuan and Cao Jiang arrived at that moment and attacked the monster together.

“Captain Xi,” Xu Mo yelled out.

“It’s nothing,” Ye Xi said with cracks now visible in his armor, and Han Hu cursed, “This beast’s speed is too damn fast.”

As he spoke, he rushed forward to attack the monster.

“Thank you, Captain Xi,” Xu Mo expressed his gratitude to Ye Xi.

“Your girlfriend asked me to take care of you,” Ye Xi nonchalantly replied, as he continued his onslaught.

Zero?

The girlfriend Ye Xi referred to was naturally Zero.

The demoness’s temperament, actually asking for a favor?

She must be in a difficult spot.

“Beast!” An angry roar came from ahead as the group joined forces to take down the S-class monster. With such speed, they couldn’t afford to let it escape due to the substantial threat it posed.

“We can’t afford to delay; the mission is tough to complete as it is. We need a quick battle and a quick advance, full speed ahead,” Fu Yuan said, prompting the Divine Sword Bureau’s elite teams to move forward at high velocities.

Along the way, monsters were continually slain.

But the losses were substantial, too, especially the warplanes. With destroyed warplanes, the pilots inside were very likely to die.

This sea domain was too dangerous, fraught with peril at every turn.

After the Divine Sword Team left, a fully armed group appeared. They didn’t join the fight but instead located the fallen bodies of the monsters, particularly the S-class ones. They injected their equipment directly into the corpses to extract substances.

This time, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

On normal days, hunting S-level monsters is no easy feat; it requires delving into ruins or the ocean, which means taking huge risks.

As fleets of powerful fighters push forward, corpses of monsters continually fall into the ocean from the sky—of course, so do warships, mecha, and Transcendents.

Every moment, death ensues.

Many people have also started to enter the core area of energy fluctuations, where the storms are even more ferocious.

Ahead, in the Deep Sea Zone, the sea surface churns violently, a staggering energy emerges, slowing down everyone’s actions. Numerous fighter jets fly overhead, firing towards that direction, but the attacks vanish without a trace, leaving no disturbance.

“A tremendous energy is approaching; it’s a super giant beast. We may have reached the core,” Fu Yuan said. He speculated that these ocean giants, like humans, coveted the Super Energy Body, thus drawing scores of monsters to this area.

“Be careful, it’s approaching fast, and there’s more than one.”

Fu Yuan warned, his expression exceptionally grave as the tossing of the sea surface became even more violent.

Many unleashed attacks toward the undulating sea surface.

Above the sea, scales appeared. Under the scrutiny of everyone’s stares, a terrifying giant beast slowly revealed itself, rising from the sea. They saw its three heads, each one enormous, with thick, long necks covered in pitch-black scale armor that glistened metallically with a cold sheen.

The massive body of the monster also appeared, sitting atop the ocean like a building, as its three pairs of huge eyes stared at the crowd.

Behind it, a group of huge monsters emerged, among which were several of terrifying class, causing everyone’s hearts to tremble incessantly.

“Fire.”

In an instant, a barrage of attacks was launched at the beast. The monstrous creature, like the king of the sea domain, looked down with disdain in its eyes, which conveyed its sentient thoughts.

The monster didn’t attempt to dodge; its three heads opened their mouths simultaneously, and strong beams of energy light shot out, entering right into its gaping maws and seemingly swallowed whole. The firepower that hit its body didn’t seem to affect it in the slightest.

The monster lifted its head, the three heads emitting a piercing screech. Then the crowd witnessed a terrifying scene—lightning and energy light born from the storm above crazily surged into the beast’s mouth and were devoured, and subsequently, its body gleamed with dreadful energy light, as if it could harness the energy from its surroundings.

The next moment, it opened its mouth and spat out energy light at the crowd.

“Hum…” From three different directions, beams of energy light engulfed everything in their path, with warships melting on contact and mecha dissolving into nothingness, even the mechanical bodies of the Lancelot Star People in the air were rendered into void.

All were swiftly killed, and three beams of energy beams pierced through the air, leaving behind trails of the Light of Destruction that extended astonishingly far.

“Fall back.” Fu Yuan and the others’ expressions changed drastically as they backed away, feeling the intense light around them, leaving in its wake nothing but death.

After the attack, the monster ceased and disdainfully swept its eyes across the crowd, looking down upon the humans before it like a supreme ruler.

In the eyes of humans, monsters are beasts, inferior creatures.

But in the eyes of monsters, are humans any different?

Confronted with the beast’s disdainful gaze, everyone felt a surge of intense threat of death. In the blink of an eye, the casualties were grievous.

The complexions of Fu Yuan and his allies also changed; the body of the monster continued to rise, and beside it, a group of monsters appeared, among which several massive ones were emitting energy fluctuations at the SS level.

This realization struck everyone—standing before them was the king of this Sea Domain!

Would the mission fail?

And now, it wasn’t just a matter of mission failure, but whether they could even save their lives?

Just then, the beast lifted its head again, absorbing the energy of the sea domain, and its three heads let out fierce howls, casting a deadly shadow over the Sea Domain.

“Hmm?”

At this time, someone noticed a light appearing above the sea domain.

More and more people looked in that direction, their faces showing shock. Xu Mo also saw it; above the storm shrouded in dark clouds, a figure descended from the sky, breaking through the storm and heading down below.

It was a middle-aged man dressed simply, and what stunned onlookers even more was that this figure was not wearing any Battle Armor, devoid of any defensive gear, descending from the heavens with nothing but his flesh and blood.

The scene was heart-stoppingly shocking.

The king of the monsters, upon seeing this human, fixed its large eyes on him, filled with intense malice!
