Three armies marched simultaneously! Target: Black Stone Pass!

The next day.

Early morning.

Inside the highest-level strategic Command Center of Demon Suppressing Pass.

The atmosphere was chilling and solemn.

A massive 3D holographic star map hovered in the center of the conference hall.

On the star map, a massive star fortress marked in deep crimson, full of sinister jagged edges, emitted an ominous glow.

That was Black Stone Pass.

One of the notoriously impenetrable fortresses on the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield.

It was occupied by a group of aliens called the "Blackstone Clan."

This race was born with the ability to manipulate rock and gravity, possessing incredibly astonishing defensive power.

Over countless years, the Human Alliance had organized several attacks, only to be bloodied against those indestructible walls.

"Everyone!"

Qin Pojun stood before the star map, his voice as loud as a bell.

His single eye swept over all the Advanced generals present, as well as several powerful supporters from other war zones.

"The 'firewood' that Your Excellency Lin Yuan brought back yesterday—I believe you all already know its value!"

"It is a miracle sufficient to change the entire landscape of the war!"

"The opportunity for our Dragon Summer, and even the entire Human Alliance, to rise is right before our eyes!"

"But the prerequisite is that we must have enough time to digest this miracle!"

"Therefore, the Supreme Command has decided to take the initiative! We will completely uproot this poisonous fang, Black Stone Pass, which is pinned into the throat of our vital transport routes!"

His voice was filled with a will of iron and blood!

The generals present felt their blood boiling, their Battle Intent soaring!

"For this operation, we will advance in three routes!"

Qin Pojun waved his hand, and on the star map, three thick red arrows pointed directly at Black Stone Pass!

"The Left Route Army will be led by General Patton of the Aegis Legion!"

"The Right Route Army will be led by General Vladimir of the Northern Wolf Legion!"

"And for the most important Central Route Army, my Longxiang Army will serve as the main force!"

Speaking to this point, Qin Pojun paused.

He turned around and cast his gaze toward a young figure sitting quietly in the corner of the conference room, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

The eyes of everyone present also converged upon him.

Those gazes were filled with awe, fanaticism, and absolute trust!

Qin Pojun took a step forward and solemnly gave a military salute to that figure.

"The Commander-in-Chief of the Central Route Army will be personally held by Your Excellency Lin Yuan!"

...Half an hour later.

Rumble—!!!

At the starport of Demon Suppressing Pass, ten thousand cannons fired in unison!

Thousands of various warships formed a steel torrent that blotted out the sky, grandly sailing out of the starport and heading into the depths of the endless dark Universe!

On the bridge of the Central Route Army's flagship, the "dragon charger."

Lin Yuan sat casually in a command chair.

Behind him stood Qin Pojun and a group of Advanced generals from the Longxiang Army.

Even the sisters Agatha and Avrora were among them.

Agatha used the "glory federation" as the auxiliary flagship of the Central Route Army to coordinate the operation.

As for Avrora, she followed rightfully by his side in the capacity of "Your Excellency Lin Yuan's temporary adjutant."

At this moment, she was staring with wide, curious ice-blue eyes, looking at Lin Yuan's calm profile one moment and the rapidly receding stars outside the porthole the next, her small face filled with excitement and novelty.

"Report, Your Excellency! High-energy reactions detected three hundred light-seconds ahead!"

"It's the vanguard scout unit of Black Stone Pass!"

A communications officer reported loudly.

Qin Pojun's expression instantly became solemn.

"Activate level one combat alert! All personnel prepare to—"

"No need."

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Lin Yuan's flat voice.

Lin Yuan didn't even lift an eyelid.

"Full speed ahead."

"Crush through them."

"..."

The entire bridge instantly fell silent.

Qin Pojun was stunned.

Crush... crush through them?

That was the Blackstone Clan's vanguard! Although not many in number, every one of them was an elite, famously difficult to deal with!

Just... ram straight through?

"Yes! Your Excellency!"

Although his heart was full of doubt, Qin Pojun still issued the order without hesitation.

He had a near-blind trust in Lin Yuan!

Buzz—!!!

The massive fleet of warships led by the dragon charger did not slow down at all; instead, their engines opened fully, turning into streaks of destructive light that charged fiercely toward the high-energy reaction zone!

"Roar—!!!"

In a Star Domain composed of countless shattered meteorites.

Dozens of hideous giants over a hundred meters tall, their bodies composed entirely of pitch-black rock, stood ready.

The leading Blackstone giant reached a size of nearly a thousand meters!

Its massive body was covered in profound earthy-yellow runes, emitting a terrifying aura of the Peak Huagang Realm!

He was the Commander of this vanguard unit, "Skull Crusher" Gru.

When he saw that the human fleet not only didn't slow down to evade but instead accelerated towards him,

A cruel and contemptuous sneer appeared on his rock-formed face.

Stupid humans!

Do you want to see who is harder compared to us Blackstone Clan?!

"Everyone! Activate 'Rock Bulwark'!"

"Let them see what true despair looks like!"

Gru let out a roar.

Buzz buzz buzz—!!!

Earthy-yellow light instantly lit up on all the Blackstone giants!

An energy shield so thick it inspired despair, as if compressed from an entire continental plate, firmly enveloped their bodies!

Then.

They charged fearlessly toward the steel torrent!

The next second.

Boom—!!!!

A cosmic-level "car crash" of extreme tragedy occurred!

The moment the leading Dragon Xia Kingdom frigates hit the Rock Bulwark, their bow alloy armor shattered, twisted, and deformed like paper!

The entire warships were forcibly slammed to a halt in place by an unimaginable force!

Inside the hulls, piercing alarms and the groans of metal rang out!

Yet those Blackstone giants only swayed slightly, remaining completely unharmed!

"Hahaha! Stupid insects!"

Gru watched the human warships, which were fragile and couldn't withstand a single blow before his clansmen, and let out an unbridled wild laugh.

However.

Before his laughter could fade,

A slender streak of gray-gold light that seemed not to exist in this dimension,

Ignoring the distance of space,

Ignoring the passage of time,

Silently appeared before him.

Puchi.

A soft sound.

Gru's laughter came to an abrupt end.

His massive head made of rock slowly lowered.

He saw that streak of gray-gold Sword Aura which had pierced through his proud 'Rock Bulwark,' pierced through his chest that was harder than divine gold, and was now quietly hovering before his Origin core.

"This... is..."

In the final moment before his consciousness completely dissipated,

Only endless Fear and confusion remained in Gru's mind.

On the bridge.

Lin Yuan slowly withdrew his right hand, which had just flicked a finger.

"Can't even withstand a single blow."
