Lin Yuan established his authority at the Demon-Suppressing Pass, his sword's light chilling nineteen provinces!

Everyone followed Qin Pojun, moving quickly toward the West Wall.

Along the way, the atmosphere grew increasingly heavy.

Medics transporting the wounded and engineering units dragging giant monster carcasses were everywhere.

The air was filled with a mix of blood, burnt smells, and a pungent acidic odor.

"The West Wall has always been defended by the White Eagle Country's Skyshield Bureau."

Qin Pojun introduced the situation quickly as he walked, his voice kept low.

"They advocate technology; the entire defense line is deployed with their most advanced Plasma Cannons and High-Energy Laser Arrays."

"Originally, this defense System worked quite well against void creatures."

"But this time, the Void Worms' Corrosive Rain seems specifically designed to counter their energy shields."

Mountain-Swallowing Martial God Tie Kuang snorted in a muffled voice upon hearing this.

"Flashy things are never as hard as one's own sword!"

Flying Moon Sword God Shangguan Jinghong didn't speak, but her cold gaze held a hint of disapproval.

Soon, everyone reached the western section of the wall.

The sight before them made everyone gasp.

The metal wall, which should have been smooth as a mirror, was now pitted and covered in acid-corroded marks, with large sections of alloy armor twisted like melting candles.

On the wall, over seventy percent of the Energy Runes that should have been glowing brilliantly had dimmed.

Several giant plasma turrets were completely out of commission, barrels smoking, turned into heaps of scrap metal.

A group of White Eagle Country soldiers in white high-tech combat suits were frantically making emergency repairs, but it was clearly a drop in the bucket.

"Qin! You're finally here!"

A tall Caucasian general saw Qin Pojun and immediately strode over, his tone full of impatience and blame.

His name was Mike Jason, the highest Commander of the White Eagle Country at the Demon Suppressing Pass.

"Where are your Dragon Country reinforcements? My 'Skydome' defense System needs a large amount of Energy Crystals, and our stock is running low!"

"If the West Wall is breached, the responsibility lies entirely with you!"

He spoke imperiously, as if he hadn't seen Lin Zhan and the others behind Qin Pojun at all.

A cold light flashed in Qin Pojun's single eye.

"Jason! Watch your words!"

"To hold the line, our Dragon Country garrison sacrificed 3,700 brave boys yesterday! What right do you have to bark orders here?"

"Sacrificed? Hmph, that's because your tactics are backward!"

Mike Jason sneered, full of arrogance.

"If you had switched to our White Eagle Country's Power Armor sooner instead of using those ridiculous cold weapons, casualties would have been reduced by at least half!"

"You...!"

Qin Pojun was shaking with rage.

"Bullshit!"

Tie Kuang's explosive temper couldn't take it anymore; he stepped forward, his terrifying Aura erupting instantly, knocking Mike Jason back several steps until he fell on his backside.

"If you dare disrespect our Dragon Country warriors again, I'll twist your dog head off right now and use it as a chamber pot!"

Mike Jason's face turned red, both shocked and furious.

He was about to lash out when he saw Lin Zhan behind Tie Kuang, as well as Holy Knights Order Leader Augustine and the others.

His pupils constricted sharply.

These... these were all legendary Martial God Level existences!

Why would they suddenly appear here?!

Just then.

"Beep— Beep— Beep—!!!!"

A piercing alarm suddenly echoed across the entire section of the wall!

"Warning! High-intensity energy gathering detected!"

"The second wave of the Void Worms' general offensive... has begun!"

Below the wall, on the dusky yellow wilderness.

The earth surged like a tide!

A dense, seemingly endless mass of Void Worms crawled out from underground, converging into a scalp-numbing black tide, surging madly toward the West Wall!

"Fire! Fire!!"

Mike Jason scrambled to his feet and roared frantically into his communicator.

On the wall, the few remaining turrets and the energy guns in the hands of the White Eagle Country soldiers immediately spat out searing tongues of fire!

However, their attacks fell into the black insect tide like stones thrown into the sea, causing only negligible ripples.

"Hiss hiss hiss—!!!"

Countless Void Worms raised their ugly heads and opened their mucus-covered mouths!

The next second.

A sky-covering downpour of dark green acid rain poured toward the wall!

"Buzz—!"

Above the wall, the last remaining energy shield lit up with a faint glow, struggling to hold on.

But everyone could see clearly.

Under the wash of the Corrosive Rain, the shield was thinning and dimming at a visible rate!

At most, it wouldn't last ten seconds!

"It's over..."

The color drained from Mike Jason's face, leaving it deathly pale.

Once the shield broke, the fate of these soldiers in high-tech armor under this Corrosive Rain would be no better than that of the alloy armor!

Lin Zhan, Tie Kuang, and the others were already prepared to act.

However, a calm voice spoke first.

"Is this the technology you're so proud of?"

Lin Yuan stood at the edge of the wall, looking at the apocalyptic scene below, his tone devoid of any emotion.

"A bunch of useless trash."

One sentence caused the movements of all the White Eagle Country soldiers present to freeze.

Mike Jason snapped his head around, glaring at Lin Yuan.

"Kid, what did you say?!"

Lin Yuan didn't even spare him a glance.

He simply faced the energy shield that was about to break and the pouring corrosive acid rain.

He reached out his right hand.

Then, he gave it a light lift.

In an instant.

An invisible yet sharp intent that seemed capable of severing everything in the world soared into the sky!

It wasn't energy, nor was it an airwave.

It was Sword Intent!

Sword Intent of the utmost purity!

The sky full of corrosive acid rain suddenly came to a standstill a hundred meters from the wall!

As if time had been frozen!

Immediately following.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—"

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a series of cutting sounds so faint they were almost inaudible.

Every drop of acid, capable of melting steel, was instantly sliced, decomposed, and dissipated into nothingness by the invisible Sword Intent in mid-air!

In the blink of an eye.

The world-destroying Corrosive Rain that could have covered the entire section of the wall simply vanished.

Silently.

As if it had never appeared.

"..."

The entire battlefield fell into an eerie silence.

Below the wall, the surging insect tide also seemed to feel a kind of Fear from the level of their very existence, and their offensive faltered.

On the wall, everyone was stunned.

Mike Jason's mouth hung open, his eyes nearly popping out of his sockets.

That was Corrosive Rain that could melt energy shields and special alloys!

Just like that... a lift of the hand... and it's gone?

What kind of god-like technique is this?!

However, it wasn't over yet.

Lin Yuan's hand remained raised.

His fingers lightly clenched toward the dense insect tide below.

Buzz—

Centered on his palm, billions of Golden Sword Qi as fine as cow hair appeared out of thin air!

They didn't erupt with any startling Aura.

They simply seemed to have a life of their own, turning into a golden, quiet rainstorm that silently covered the battlefield for several kilometers below!

"Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!"

A series of dense, tooth-aching soft sounds.

The Golden Sword Qi rainstorm fell into the insect tide.

Those Void Worms with hard bodies that ordinary artillery could hardly damage effectively were like paper the moment they touched the Golden Sword Qi!

Streaks of Golden Sword Qi easily pierced their shells, shredded their internal organs, and obliterated their Life Cores!

No screams.

No struggling.

Thousands upon thousands of Void Worms turned into puddles of dark green rotten meat in total silence!

In just three seconds.

That originally dense, despair-inducing insect tide was cleared of a massive area!

A huge vacuum zone paved with countless carcasses appeared!
