A new king has arrived! The Silver-Winged War God has arrived, his sword pointing at Lin Yuan!

The communication was cut off.

That cold, majestic, and emotionless female voice disappeared.

Inside the White Eagle Country Command Center, it was as silent as a grave.

Mike Jason slumped in his chair.

The color drained from his face, leaving only a deathly gray.

Those eyes, once filled with arrogance and calculation, were now hollow and lifeless.

It was over.

Completely over.

He had been dismissed.

He had become the biggest laughingstock of the entire White Eagle Country, and even the Human Alliance.

One hour.

That woman named Agatha Romanov, the one hailed as the "silver wing god of war" and the chief justice of the Alliance Supreme Military Court, would arrive.

Then, she would drag him away like a dead dog.

The White Eagle Country officers behind him stood at a distance.

No one dared to step forward.

No one was willing to, either.

Their gazes were extremely complex.

There was Fear, there was pity, but more than anything, there was a sense of contempt born of relief.

Because of this fool, White Eagle Country had completely lost face at the Demon Suppressing Pass.

Now, he was finally getting lost.

This was a good thing.

Mike Jason felt those gazes.

His already numb nerves were stung.

A wave of hysterical, venomous resentment surged uncontrollably from the deepest part of his heart!

By what right?!

By what right did he have to end up like this?!

It was all because of that Dragon Xia Kingdom person!

That monster named Lin Yuan!

If not for him, he would still be high and mighty, one of the most powerful people at the Demon Suppressing Pass!

If not for him, he would have soon become the Alliance Commander-in-Chief!

It was all him!

He destroyed everything!

"Heh heh..."

A laughter like a broken bellows issued from Mike Jason's throat.

He couldn't just let it end like this.

He couldn't let the guy who destroyed everything go unscathed!

He wanted revenge!

Even if he died, he would take someone down with him!

A thought of mutual destruction formed in his mind.

He slowly stood up from his chair.

He looked toward the deepest part of the Command Center, at a top-level weapons console shrouded in a red light screen.

That was the ultimate defense System of the Demon Suppressing Pass.

It was also... the ultimate attack System.

Its core was a subspace annihilation bomb codenamed "heavens punishment".

It was a forbidden weapon capable of erasing everything within a thousand-mile radius.

Its activation authority was held jointly by Dragon Xia Kingdom and White Eagle Country.

But now... a morbid flush appeared on Mike Jason's face.

He still had a few dozen minutes of supreme Commander authority left.

It was enough... Lin Yuan returned to his residence.

The path he walked was quiet.

All the Longxiang Army soldiers who saw him were like mice seeing a cat; they stopped from afar, bowed their heads, and respectfully made way.

Lin Yuan turned a blind eye to this.

He closed the door.

The room fell into absolute silence once more.

He sat cross-legged.

With a thought.

The irregular, pitch-black metal fragment he had obtained from the place where the Lord of Guixu dissipated floated before him.

He once again sent a strand of Primordial Chaos Sword Aura into it.

Buzz—

The vast and boundless three-dimensional Universe star map unfolded in his mind once again.

His intent swept across countless unfamiliar galaxies and the coordinates marked with opportunities and dangers.

Finally, it stopped at the end of the star map, shrouded in a thick blood-red light.

"Ranch..."

Lin Yuan's face showed no emotion.

He would go to this so-called "Ranch" sooner or later.

But not now.

His current strength was not enough.

Before refining his Primordial Chaos Sword Aura to a million miles, he would not easily leave this battlefield.

He put away the metal fragment.

This object would be the key to his future journey.

Now, what he needed to do was consolidate.

And look for higher-quality "firewood".

The trip to Guixu had allowed him to step into the Juyuan Realm Third Level Peak in one go.

Inside his Dantian Qi Sea, that thumb-sized primordial chaos sword embryo was ancient and heavy, as if it carried a corner of the Universe.

But this was only the beginning.

He could feel that this sword embryo was still very "hungry".

The foreign races around the Demon Suppressing Pass could no longer satisfy its appetite.

"I need... to go deeper."

Lin Yuan murmured to himself.

The vastness of the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield was far beyond imagination.

The Demon Suppressing Pass was but a single node on the human defense line.

Deeper within, there were more powerful foreign races and more terrifying battlefields.

Only there would he find the "high-quality fuel" he needed.

Just as he was pondering his next move.

BOOM—!!!

A low rumble, yet one that seemed to shake the entire heaven and earth, came from the horizon!

Inside the Demon Suppressing Pass.

The movements of all the celebrating Longxiang Army soldiers suddenly froze.

All the deathly pale White Eagle Country officers trembled violently.

An indescribable Fear, originating from the deepest part of life's instinct, gripped everyone's hearts.

It was as if an invisible, cold hand had reached out from the Void Realm.

Intending to completely erase the entire Demon Suppressing Pass and everything within it from this world!

Inside Lin Yuan's residence.

He slowly raised his head.

His perception instantly penetrated the roof and the atmosphere.

Locking onto the seemingly calm subspace layer above the Demon Suppressing Pass.

There.

A warhead, eerie dark red all over and inscribed with countless complex runes, was spinning frantically, tearing through the boundary between reality and nothingness.

Its energy had already climbed to a critical point.

A critical point sufficient to annihilate this area along with space itself.

heavens punishment.

The ultimate forbidden weapon of the Demon Suppressing Pass.

Its target was not any physical entity.

It was Lin Yuan.

More accurately.

It was the terrifying energy on Lin Yuan's body, which had just returned from Guixu and had not yet been fully restrained, so vast that the weapon System judged it as "world-ending."

This energy became the perfect beacon for "heavens punishment."

There was no expression on Lin Yuan's face.

He didn't even stand up.

He just watched quietly.

Watching the forbidden weapon lock onto him.

Watching as it was about to detonate, turning a thousand-mile radius into absolute nothingness.

"So this is..."

He spoke softly, as if to himself.

"The final trump card?"

"Too weak."

The moment his voice fell.

Buzz—!

Inside his Dantian Qi Sea, that thumb-sized, gray-gold ancient primordial chaos sword embryo, which seemed to carry the eternal heavens, trembled slightly.

A strand of Primordial Chaos Sword Aura, ten thousand times thinner than a hair and nearly invisible to the naked eye, drifted out from the tip of the primordial chaos sword embryo... White Eagle Country Command Center.

With a morbid flush on his face, Mike Jason stared intently at the blood-red light on the weapons console, representing that "heavens punishment" had entered its final launch countdown!

"Die!"

"All of you, die!"

"Lin Yuan! I want you to be buried with me!!"

He roared like a madman!

He seemed to already see the scene where that area was completely erased, and the man who terrified him to his core, along with the entire Dragon Xia Kingdom Command Center, turned into cosmic dust!

However.

At the very moment the countdown hit zero and the annihilation was about to begin.

"Beep—"

A piercing beep sounded from the console.

On the screen, the blood-red light flashed frantically a few times.

Then... poof.

A soft sound.

It went out.

As if it had never been lit.

"..."

Mike Jason's roaring came to an abrupt halt.

The madness and resentment on his face instantly froze.

"No... impossible..."

He stared blankly at the dark screen, his mind a complete blank.

What happened?

Where was heavens punishment?

Where was the subspace annihilation bomb that could destroy everything?

Why did it fail?!
