5: Chapter 5 Nuclear Weapons Program

Roar...

At the very front of the frontier war zone.

It was already a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Powerful Martial Artists stood at the front, blocking Yao Beasts that were at least ten meters tall.

Behind them, comrades were unleashing frantic firepower.

Even so, the battle remained grim; the rate of human casualties was too high.

Although human soldiers could increase their strength by absorbing Yao Beast crystals during battle, such powerhouses were, after all, only a minority.

Compared to the endless sea of Yao Beasts in the war.

No matter how strong an individual's power was, it was difficult to determine the outcome of a war.

"Get off the vehicle and fight the Yao Beasts freely. Don't get yourselves killed."

After grabbing a machete from the passenger seat, the commander of a thousand jumped off the vehicle and disappeared into the crowd of soldiers, following the endless stream pouring into the battlefield.

Over a dozen kilometers away was the most tragic part of the battlefield.

Countless Yao Beasts, like a tsunami, crashed against the city walls defended by the Physical Bodies of the Tianfu Army.

Shouts of battle and giant roars resonated across the land.

Watching the millions of soldiers rushing to fight, fearless of death and following one after another, Ye Xiu felt a sense of admiration; this was how soldiers should be.

Kill!

With an angry roar...

He unleashed his full power, leaping dozens of times across the ground, and slammed directly into a Yao Beast that was about to break through the defensive line.

Boom...

The Yao Beast's head exploded, and its ten-meter-plus tall body collapsed directly to the ground.

Holding the Yao Beast crystal he had extracted from the beast's head, Ye Xiu channeled the [Primordial Martial Arts General Outline] to absorb it while continuing to charge into the endless sea of Yao Beasts.

The combat power of the Heaven-Breaking Martial Body was terrifyingly high.

Even though he was only at the second grade of the Transcendence Realm, in this ocean of Yao Beasts, he had no equal.

Ye Xiu's figure flickered rapidly.

Like a harvesting machine, he was rapidly reaping the lives of Yao Beasts on the battlefield.

As time passed.

Within the hundred-mile-long battle circle, he actually carved out a blank area.

"Whose subordinate is this..."

At the rear command center, a dozen generals watched the battlefield projection, their eyes filled with shock.

In the hour or so since Ye Xiu entered the battlefield, the southern war zone had gained a glimmer of resistance; the battlefield, which could originally only rely on flesh and blood to defend, began to have the capital to slaughter Yao Beasts.

Ye Xiu was like a sharp sword.

Slaughtering wantonly on the battlefield.

Yao Beast crystals were absorbed continuously, and his cultivation level was skyrocketing at every moment.

In just one hour, having just broken through to the second grade of the Transcendence Realm, he had already entered the third grade stage.

His strength was greater, his speed was faster, and killing the ten-to-twenty-meter tall Yao Beasts became even more effortless.

At the very rear of the Yao Beasts.

A pair of venomous eyes was staring fixedly at Ye Xiu.

Woo...

A strange sound resonated across the battlefield.

As if receiving an order, the Yao Beasts began to attack the area where Ye Xiu was located frantically.

Suddenly, the Tianfu Army, which had a glimmer of breathing room, began to die in large numbers.

"Damn it."

Ye Xiu couldn't see what was behind the Yao Beasts, but he could feel that in the very back of this ocean of Yao Beasts, there was an existence capable of commanding them.

"I must eliminate that guy; otherwise, I'll never finish killing these Yao Beasts even if I work myself to death."

Thinking of this, he no longer focused on blocking, but started to fight his way towards the rear of the Yao Beasts.

The ocean of Yao Beasts was endless.

Ye Xiu was slaughtering madly; like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, he had no equal in this ocean of Yao Beasts.

Killing, devouring.

After countless repetitions, he had long since turned into a blood-soaked man.

On the battlefield at the very front of the frontier.

No one could see Ye Xiu's figure anymore.

He had charged alone into the ocean of Yao Beasts, and there was nothing around him except for the Yao Beasts rushing forward as if they didn't fear death.

Such a battle had lasted for a long time, and Ye Xiu had to admit that individual power was too insignificant.

No matter how he slaughtered, on this battlefield of endless Yao Beasts.

It was difficult to change the course of the battle.

"Aren't there too many of these Yao Beasts..."

As the battle deepened, Ye Xiu began to feel heavy-hearted.

He had already stepped into the area covered by artillery fire.

In addition to guarding against the bombardment from the ground, flying birds tens of meters large in the sky would also come down from time to time to attack him.

Although he had a continuous supply of Yao Beast crystals, and his strength was increasing rapidly like a rocket,

human energy is limited.

Even though his physical strength was not consumed much under the effect of the Yao Beast crystals, he was already very exhausted in this ocean of Yao Beasts.

Let alone killing the commander whose location was still unknown.

Even breaking out of the encirclement and returning to Tianfu City to catch his breath was a very difficult thing.

The slaughter continued.

On the battlefield, countless soldiers were bleeding and sacrificing themselves every minute and every second.

The rear command center.

The dozen generals looked at the figure still present on the projection screen, their eyes revealing a trace of shock.

"Where are the people from the Dao sect? Why haven't they come to support yet?" someone roared, slamming the table. The Tianfu Army had held on for a day, and the death toll had reached at least three million.

But the Yao Beasts were still endless.

"Above the clouds in the outer city, terrifying Yao Beasts have already invaded. The people from the Dao sect are suppressing the outer city. I'm afraid this battle is going to be difficult."

"Difficult, my ass. If nothing else, we'll launch the nuclear weapons and perish together with them."

"Nuclear weapons can only deter our own people. Those Yao Beasts have thick skin and flesh; they are not afraid of nuclear weapons," a general sighed.

"Messenger, contact the Dao sect. Tell them to quickly eliminate the Yao Beasts in the outer city and come to support. Tell them directly that the Tianfu Army can only hold on for another 3 hours. After three hours, we will initiate the Nuclear Weapon Plan."

The old general sitting in the main seat made the final decision.

"City Lord, if we threaten the Dao sect like this, I'm afraid there will be quite a lot of trouble later," someone said worriedly.

"Is there any other choice? Do you know how many soldiers have died in the time we've been talking?" Killing intent surged in the old general's eyes.

That person was immediately frightened into silence.

On the projection screen.

Ye Xiu's figure continued to charge and kill frantically; like a tireless monster, he flickered rapidly in the ocean of Yao Beasts.

Every strike could make a Yao Beast fall.

But even so, on this battlefield, it was just a drop in the bucket, unable to stir up any waves.
