160: This seventh-level lord is a monster!

Inside the Command Center.

General Wei stared intently at the 3D tactical sandbox, his mouth agape wide enough to fit an egg.

He watched as the blue light representing their side, after the Giant City entered the fray,

Not only was it no longer being eroded, but it began to engulf the red areas representing the enemy forces with an overwhelming momentum.

"Report, General! Identification... identification successful."

A staff officer's voice trembled.

"It's... it's the Blue Star Alliance, Lord Su Jin's Infinite City!"

"Su Jin?"

General Wei was stunned for a moment; he remembered that name.

Two days ago, the Central Military Commission sent a notice saying that a Heavenly Chosen Lord would come to provide support.

At the time, he had specifically glanced at the information.

"Lord: Su Jin"

"Territory Level: 7"

General Wei almost crushed the teacup in his hand at the time.

Level seven?

What kind of concept was that?

In the eyes of these old veterans, who had been fighting for hundreds of years and were often Level Nine, a Level Seven Lord was no different from a newbie fresh out of the starter village.

Although the intelligence also mentioned that this Lord Su Jin seemed to have a Legendary-tier combatant under his command.

But how strong could a Level Seven Lord's Legendary be?

He probably just broke through, his aura still unstable; it would be a miracle if he could even tie down one ordinary Legendary from the enemy.

Sending him to a meat grinder battlefield like Youfeng Valley, wasn't this just a farce?

At that time, General Wei still harbored some resentment, wondering if the higher-ups had run out of capable people.

But now...

He brought up Su Jin's intelligence again.

Looking at the glaring "Level 7" text, he then looked up at the real-time footage displayed on the main screen.

In the footage, fifty thousand Thunder Cavalry descended like gods, shattering the Obsidian Destroyer army's formation.

In the footage, that white figure slew an Abyssal Worm with a single sword, and was now single-handedly suppressing three of the enemy's Legendaries.

That fierce sword intent, even through the screen, made General Wei's heart palpitate.

Coupled with the World Echo's name of 'Annihilation'...

General Wei rubbed his eyes, double-checking the intelligence.

That's right, Level Seven.

He looked at the battlefield again.

That majestic Floating City, that cavalry regiment chasing and slashing at the Dark Star Empire's elites, that fierce individual who took down enemies like they were children with a single sword...

General Wei fell silent.

He slowly leaned back in his chair, feeling his century-old worldview being utterly shattered by some unreasonable force.

He let out a long, long sigh of relief.

As if to expel all the pressure and fatigue accumulated over the past few days.

Then, he couldn't help but curse under his breath.

"Damn it... he's really strong."

...

High above in the sky.

The Dark Star Legendary holding the giant scythe, his arrogance and mockery had long vanished, replaced by a look of utter disbelief.

One sword.

Just one sword.

A peer-level Abyssal Worm was silently annihilated just like that?

What the hell kind of Law Power was this!

He hadn't even clearly seen how the opponent struck; that sword mark seemed like a natural part of the world.

Its appearance was as logical as the sun rising in the east and setting in the west.

The Flame Heaven Sword Master and the Giant Rock Titan also ceased their movements, staring blankly at the white-clad figure blocking their path.

The true name of 'Annihilation'.

Wasn't this a method only demigods possessed?

Could such an existence truly be owned by a Level Seven Lord?

"You... who exactly are you?"

The Scythe Legendary's voice was a bit dry.

Beside him, the Dark Star Legendary who had transformed into a human-shaped black hole,

The darkness around his body fluctuated unstably, clearly indicating his extreme unease.

The other Legendary, who controlled shadows, had even quietly retreated half a step, his figure almost merging with the shadows, ready to flee at any moment.

Bai Xiao did not answer.

He merely looked calmly at the Scythe Legendary, as if looking at a dead object.

This gaze completely enraged the opponent.

As a Legendary, he had his own dignity and pride; being so underestimated was more unbearable than being killed.

"Playing god!"

The Scythe Legendary roared.

Endless death energy erupted from his body, and on the black giant scythe in his hand, faces of agony and wailing emerged.

"Styx Slash!"

He swung the giant scythe with all his might, and a massive, inky black slash that devoured light tore through space, cleaving down towards Bai Xiao.

This strike, a culmination of his entire understanding of his Legendary Law, was enough to instantly wither the life of an entire river.

However, facing this world-destroying strike,

Bai Xiao simply raised the longsword in his hand.

Clink.

A crisp, light sound.

That inky black Styx Slash, like a popped bubble, silently vanished.

From beginning to end, it didn't even make Bai Xiao's clothes stir a single bit.

The Scythe Legendary's pupils constricted violently.

His Law, was it... devoured by the opponent?

No, that's not right!

It wasn't devoured; it was directly erased from a conceptual level by a higher-level Law!

Damn it.

Run!

He turned around without hesitation, his body transforming into a wisp of black smoke, intending to disappear into the void.

But the moment he turned, he froze.

The white-clad figure had appeared before him at some unknown point.

Within arm's reach.

"Ant?"

The longsword in Bai Xiao's hand flashed and was gone.

A thin line, a bloodline, appeared on the Scythe Legendary's neck.

The terrified expression on the Scythe Legendary's face froze; he tried to say something, but found he couldn't make any sound.

His body, starting from that thin line, disintegrated inch by inch, finally turning into dust.

"No..."

This was his last thought remaining in the world.

Subsequently, along with the Legendary scythe in his hand, both returned to annihilation.

Another Legendary had fallen.

The remaining two Dark Star Legendaries were scared out of their wits.

They dared not hesitate any longer, burning their essence, using the fastest speed of their lives, transforming into two streaks of light, and frantically fleeing in different directions.

Bai Xiao raised his sword, about to strike again.

High above the sky, the Dark Star Empire's orbital fleet finally reacted.

Disregarding the remaining ground forces.

Countless dark red energy light beams pierced through the clouds, shooting towards the airspace in front of Bai Xiao in a sealing formation.

Boom! Boom! Rumble—!

The light beams hit the ground, stirring up towering dust and energy turbulence, the earth trembled violently, and the aftershock of each strike was enough to level a hilltop.

The absolute torrent of energy temporarily disrupted the spatial laws, forcibly preventing Bai Xiao's next move.

Facing this 'cage' descending from the sky, Bai Xiao had no choice but to stop.

He looked up at the gloomy sky, his eyes flickering.

The streaks of light ceased.

Finally, he floated silently in the air, his gaze sweeping over the completely collapsed Dark Star army formation below, and the longsword in his hand slowly returned to its sheath.

There were no more enemies here worthy of his strike.

...

"My... goodness..."

Behind the cover, Li Mo's mouth formed an "O" shape, and he could barely hold onto his Gauss rifle.

What did he just see?

The divine battle in the sky was over?

Their white-clad powerhouse had cut down two enemy Legendaries as easily as slicing melons and vegetables?

Not far away, those Obsidian Destroyers, which had been so arrogant just moments ago, were now being chased and slashed at by a group of Thunder Cavalry who had descended from the sky.

Those cavalry were too fierce.

Even more exaggerated was the city wall.

An endless rain of arrows poured down as if it cost nothing.

Covering, plowing, and covering again all Dark Star units attempting to rally and counterattack, over and over again.

This wasn't war; this was clearly a one-sided slaughter!

"Brothers! Reinforcements are here! Counterattack!!"

In the communication channel, someone shouted.

All the Alliance soldiers who had survived the ordeal first paused, then erupted in earth-shattering cheers.

The frustration that had been suppressed for days transformed into soaring battle intent at this moment.

They rushed out from behind cover, from the trenches, from the ruins, following behind the Thunder Cavalry, chasing the frantically fleeing enemies.

Morale had reversed.

Li Mo also rushed out with the crowd, feeling like he was dreaming.

He looked up at the majestic Giant City floating in the sky.

Sunlight pierced through the smoke of the battlefield, casting a reassuring glow on its dark golden city walls.

That city, like a silent giant, used its broad arms to hold up a sky for them.

Infinite City.

Li Mo silently memorized this name in his heart.

On the city wall.

Su Jin stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the one-sided battle below, his expression calm.

"Huo Jun's cavalry are still the same, charging in without a care."

He said with a smile.

"Lord," Zhui Yun put down his longbow and walked to his side, "Do we need to send out the infantry?"

"No need," Su Jin waved his hand.

"We have to leave some soup for our Alliance allies, otherwise, it would seem unfriendly."

Upon hearing this, Zhui Yun's mouth twitched.

You call this leaving some soup? You're practically taking the whole pot.

At this moment, a public communication request connected to Infinite City's command system.

"This is the Youfeng Valley Frontline Command, calling... calling Infinite City."

General Wei's voice carried an irrepressible excitement.

Su Jin smiled and gestured to the communications officer beside him.

"Connect them."
