78: Chapter 78 The Overlord Enters! The Absolute Pressure of the World Alliance

On the outskirts of the Extreme Cold Rift, at the War God Alliance position.

Dead silence.

Throughout the entire temporary command center, every sound of breathing had completely ceased.

Xiao Zhantian stood before the holographic screen, the hideous scar on his right cheek twisting violently like a living centipede.

He stared intently at the wreckage of the Lv.7 fighter jet on the screen that had been cut in half, his large hand grasping unconsciously at the air.

"Slap."

Xiao Zhantian suddenly raised his hand and pinched his adjutant's thigh hard.

"Ouch." The adjutant jumped on the spot, tears streaming from the pain, "Alliance Leader, why did you pinch me?"

"Does it hurt?"

"No kidding. You nearly ripped the flesh off."

"Then it's not a hallucination." Xiao Zhantian swallowed with difficulty, then suddenly threw his head back and burst into a brazen, booming, wild laugh.

"Hahahaha. Good. Very good. I've never seen such an exhilarating sight in my life."

Xiao Zhantian kicked the alloy sand table in front of him, sending it flying.

"One man. One plane. Wiped out half of the Di Sha Alliance's assets along with their Vice Alliance Leader. Now this is what you call a man. This is what you call the wasteland."

The high-ranking officials in the command center wiped away cold sweat one after another. This combat record was too outrageous; it completely exceeded the scope of their understanding.

The laughter stopped abruptly.

The fanaticism in Xiao Zhantian's eyes quickly faded, replaced by the sharp nature of a warlord.

He grabbed the adjutant by the collar:

"Pass on my military order. The first and second elite battalions are to activate all firepower modules. Within five minutes, advance to the center of the Extreme Cold Rift and protect that dark passenger plane firmly in the center of the formation."

"Alliance Leader." The adjutant was shocked,

"Cao Yuan is dead, and Tuoba Xiao will definitely go insane. Li Tianbao of the Tianxia Alliance is watching from within the Kunlun Mountains. If we go to protect him now, it's equivalent to declaring war on these two behemoths."

"What the hell do you know?" Xiao Zhantian shoved the adjutant away, his voice like a thunderclap,

"Providing help when it's most needed is better than adding flowers to a brocade. After that wild bombardment, with an autocannon firing at 6000 rounds per minute for so long, his ammunition reserves must be empty."

Xiao Zhantian's eyes were fierce, like an extremely crazy gambler:

"He's just an empty shell with thick armor now. Once Tuoba Xiao comes to his senses, he could be swarmed to death. If I pull him out of this situation now, we'll have forged a bond of life and death."

He turned abruptly and roared into the communication channel:

"Where is the logistics department? Get all the 80mm aircraft autocannon armor-piercing shells out of the warehouse. Post a bounty at the highest price on the Regional Channel and buy ammunition of this caliber at any cost. Anyone who dares to hide it, I'll kill them."

"I'm betting the entire foundation of the War God Alliance today. Whoever dares to touch him, I'll fight them to the death."

The military order was absolute. The engines of thousands of heavy War God Alliance fighter jets roared in unison, turning into a dark, overwhelming torrent of steel as they aggressively charged toward the center of the Extreme Cold Rift.

Meanwhile, deep in the Kunlun Mountains.

Unlike the howling wind and snow on the periphery, the airspace here was filled with an oppressive, murderous aura.

Thick thunderclouds were violently torn apart.

A massive fleet, enough to make all survivors on the Desolate Continent despair, was advancing in a strict cone formation.

Five thousand well-equipped Lv.5 armed fighters were lined up on both sides, like unfolded black wings.

In the center were five hundred Lv.6 heavy cruise passenger planes.

There was no extraneous noise; the formation was suffocatingly tight.

Independent fighter groups along the way scrambled to flee the main flight path; even coming slightly close would cause them to be flipped over by the air currents of this massive fleet.

And above the fleet, two helicopters, as massive as mountains, circled arrogantly.

That was two Lv.7 netherworld armed helicopters, their sides mounted with dense heavy rocket pods and high-frequency guided missiles.

This was the Tianxia Alliance. The absolute overlord of the Desolate Continent. It possessed a terrifying deterrent power that could crush everything.

At the very front of the fleet.

A giant fighter jet with a dark gold paint job broke through the air currents.

Lv.7 apocalypse fighter.

Compared to the Lv.7 plane that Cao Yuan had piled resources into, this apocalypse fighter was more than twice as large, and its firepower and defense were more than twice as strong.

Inside the luxurious, spacious cabin, the floor was covered with snowy white high-grade Xenogeneic fur.

Tianxia Alliance leader Li Tianbao wore a meticulously tailored handmade suit, holding a glass of crimson wine in his hand, leaning slightly lazily against a leather sofa.

A holographic screen floated before his eyes, slowly replaying the massacre that had just occurred in the Extreme Cold Rift.

The image froze. The moment the dark passenger plane pushed forward against the thermobaric bomb, a deep blue luster flashed across the armor surface.

"super nano crystal steel..." Li Tianbao swirled his wine glass, a greedy arc forming at the corners of his mouth, "No wonder it could withstand the concentrated fire of five thousand people."

Beside him, the Tianxia Alliance military advisor pushed up his glasses, his tone dry: "Alliance Leader, this passenger plane is very strange. Besides the armor, they also possess multiple high-grade ability users."

The advisor pointed to several blurred figures captured and magnified on the screen.

"The woman who released the exploding fireball, her ability rating is definitely above C-grade."

The advisor's voice became increasingly grave: "Alliance Leader, this kind of talent reserve and equipment configuration has already exceeded the limits that independent players can reach. If not brought under control, it will definitely become a major threat to us."

Li Tianbao did not speak. He took a calm sip of red wine.

The screen image jumped again. This was the scene of Yu Feng's final strike, forcibly teleporting to shred Cao Yuan's Lv.7 plane.

"Teleportation..." Li Tianbao's pupils contracted sharply.

He put down his wine glass, stood up, and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the endless snowfield below.

"The main mission for this Kunlun trip is to survive in Kunlun for a period of time." Li Tianbao's voice was cold, "I received top-secret intelligence that this main mission is extremely dangerous, and it is estimated that most fighters will not pass this mission.

If we can recruit this super nano crystal steel passenger plane and those ability users to act as our vanguard to scout the way, the mission success rate can be increased by at least sixty percent."

"But Cao Yuan died at his hands." The advisor hesitated, "Tuoba Xiao of the Di Sha Alliance will definitely not swallow this insult. If we recruit him, it is equivalent to openly tearing up the alliance treaty with the Di Sha Alliance."

"Allies?" Li Tianbao let out a sneer of extreme contempt.

"Does the Di Sha Alliance deserve to be on equal footing with us? They are just a bunch of dogs using my influence to bully others. Cao Yuan was a piece of trash; if he's dead, he's dead. Those thousands of fighter jets are also useless scrap metal."

Ambition flickered in Li Tianbao's eyes.

"There is only one rule in the wasteland. The strong live, the weak die."

He turned around, his cold gaze sweeping over the high-ranking officials in the cabin.

"Order the entire army to advance at full speed. Target: Extreme Cold Rift."

"I want to meet this madman driving a turtle shell myself. Give him an honorable choice—kneel down and swear allegiance to the Tianxia Alliance."

Li Tianbao picked up the wine glass again and cruelly crushed it. The crimson wine dripped down between his fingers.

"If he dares to say even half a word of refusal."

"Then I will crush him and the plane into dust together."
