120: Bloody Hell is Coming! The Final Fortress!

“Woo—woo—woo—!!!”

A shrill, piercing alarm continued to echo over the Red Soil Plateau.

Outside the tents, the Commanders' roars almost simultaneously with the alarm.

Instantly, the Infinite City’s camp switched from a state of silence to war mode.

Countless figures swarmed out of various tents, their armor clanking, weapons unsheathed, and a chilling aura of death instantly permeated the air.

The searchlights on the lookout arrow towers lit up one after another, their bright beams piercing the twilight and weaving into a net of light around the camp's perimeter.

“Sir!” Bai Xiao’s figure appeared beside Su Jin. He still maintained his stern demeanor, but the gravity in his eyes indicated the seriousness of the situation.

Su Jin didn't turn his head; his gaze was fixed on the distant horizon.

There, the bloody mist, which had been barely suppressed by a massive formation, was now undergoing a world-shattering transformation.

At this moment, the blood mist was surging and piling up at an alarming speed!

The thick blood color seemed to devour the heavens and earth, with countless dark figures faintly crashing and roaring within the mist, emitting a terrifying pressure that still made people feel suffocated even from a great distance.

The light barrier supporting the seal had already manifested as a clear entity from nothingness under the suddenly increased terrifying pressure.

It was a colossal wall of light woven from billions of profound runes.

Stretching between heaven and earth, it now trembled violently like a candle in the wind, emitting a grating “creak” sound.

“Crack…” A faint but incredibly clear sound of shattering, like the first domino falling…

Immediately after, “Crack… crackle… snap!”

The shattering sounds became denser and louder…

On the light barrier, shocking cracks rapidly spread, covering the entire light wall.

On the defense line, everyone’s heart seemed to skip a beat.

Finally, with a deafening, terrifying roar, the massive light barrier.

Reached its absolute limit.

“Boom—rumble!!!”

The light barrier exploded!

Countless luminous rune fragments scattered like golden cherry blossoms drifting across the sky, brilliant and tragically beautiful, then rapidly dimmed, disintegrated, and completely vanished into the air.

The seal was completely broken!

The bloody mist, accumulated for several months, like a world-destroying torrent breaking free from its cage, swept towards the entire outer defense line with a terrifying momentum that crushed everything in its path!

The sky, at this moment, was completely dyed blood-red.

“Roar—!!!”

Countless hideous, twisted dark figures appeared and disappeared in the rolling waves of blood, letting out roars.

These were various forms of demonic beasts, their numbers far exceeding any previous encounter!

They were no longer small skirmishes but had formed a true, all-consuming—Blood Tide!

Just as the Blood Tide was about to crash onto the front-line positions, energy nodes pre-set at various points of the combined defense line were simultaneously activated.

Beams of energy light barriers of different colors, flashing with various faction emblems, suddenly rose from each major defense zone, their hum merging into a continuous sound.

This was a backup protection measure jointly deployed by the front-line city-states, attempting to block this terrifying Blood Tide.

However, facing a Blood Tide of such magnitude, carrying countless high-level demonic beasts.

These protective formations, which usually seemed indestructible, now appeared so fragile and powerless.

“Hold them! Formation core energy is critical! Area A3 requests diversion!”

“Western shield strength has dropped to thirty percent! They… they’re breaking through!”

“No! They’ve come through! Ah—!”

The communication channel was instantly drowned in various desperate warnings and screams, and the command system briefly fell into chaos.

In just a few breaths, several sections of the light barrier that first bore the brunt of the impact began to emit “crack—crack—” sounds, and spiderweb-like cracks rapidly spread.

Finally, with a loud “bang!”, one light barrier exploded first, followed by the second, then the third… in a chain reaction, the entire combined defense line crumbled under the terrifying impact of the Blood Tide!

Countless energy fragments scattered in all directions…

The main force of the Blood Tide broke through this first combined defense line with almost no pause!

Countless monsters roared, trampling over the shattered remains of the formations, surging further inward.

Seeing the defense line collapse and countless defenders about to be swallowed by the bloody torrent, at this critical moment—

Four authoritative voices suddenly came from above the defense line:

“Radiant City, Sacred Domain deployed!”

“Eye of the Storm, Sky Barrier activated!”

“Molten Heart, Forbidden Domain engaged!”

“Abyss Maw, Evernight Veil descends!”

The moment the voices fell, four magnificent light pillars, piercing heaven and earth, rose almost simultaneously from the four main directions—east, west, south, and north—of the combined defense line, their momentum far surpassing anything the previous city-state joint defenses could achieve.

To the east, from the direction of Radiant City, a pure, ultimate golden light pillar shot into the sky.

Within the light pillar, countless ethereal figures of luminous angels chanted devoutly, their sacred hymns echoing through the clouds.

To the west, where the Eye of the Storm was located, a violent azure hurricane energy erupted from the ground, soaring straight into the heavens.

At the core of the hurricane, countless minuscule azure wind blades, too fine for the naked eye to discern, rotated and cut at high speed, emitting sharp whistles and tearing through the air.

To the south, at the Molten Heart position, a crimson flame totem appeared on the ground, followed by a dark red light pillar, interspersed with golden flames, erupting with the force of a volcanic eruption.

The light pillar condensed in the air into a colossal molten shield burning with fierce flames, its surface inscribed with ancient runes, radiating a heat that warped space.

To the north, in the Abyss Maw’s area, was an energy of profound, ultimate darkness.

Thick and surging, it spread rapidly, devoid of any light, forming an ever-expanding zone of absolute darkness, madly devouring all surrounding light and energy.

This dark energy quickly constructed a silent, dark barrier, as if isolating that area from the world.

These four distinctly different light pillars, upon reaching a certain critical point, began to extend towards each other.

Subsequently, the four-colored lights intertwined, flowed, and merged.

Finally, they formed a massive circular light barrier that enveloped the entire core defense zone, jointly resisting the surging Blood Tide from outside.

However, even such a powerful combined defense began to tremble violently under the impact of the endless demonic beasts and blood mist.

Ripples constantly appeared on the surface of the light barrier, and the four-colored lights flickered, clearly enduring immense and unimaginable pressure.

“These emergency defenses are indeed extraordinary… but they probably won’t last too long,” Zhui Yun’s voice sounded beside Su Jin.

Everyone could sense that the number of monsters in the red mist was still increasing, and their average rank was continuously rising…
