125: Another way, sanctification of the flesh

Lin Qianqian mustered her courage to argue, "That is the Western Military Region's only remaining strategic-level weapon!"

"It's the last line of defense against Yao Beast-level threats! Not to mention, to power it, we'd have to divert the quantum energy core from Xiliang City..."

Xiao Yuwei glanced at her expressionlessly, her tone calm as she said, "So?"

Lin Qianqian opened her mouth as if to say something, but fell silent under the other party's icy gaze.

She bent down to pick up the record board from the ground, her fingertips trembling slightly as she input commands.

"Elder Ye." Xiao Yuwei suddenly turned, "Please arrange for Shadow Blade's people to monitor the Lei Family's movements around the clock."

"This..." Ye Qingyun's Face showed a hint of hesitation.

He was merely an elder of the Central China branch.

Not to mention whether he had the authority to command his colleagues, doing so would also violate the regulations of the Federation and the organization.

But thinking of Su Lei... after a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and nodded.

"During the last Secret Realm exploration, two fellows owed this old man a favor; they should give me this Face..."

Xiao Yuwei nodded in satisfaction, then opened an encrypted file, and a holographic projection immediately displayed a densely packed defense map.

"This level of defense is not enough."

"For the next 72 hours, I am issuing the highest level mobilization order as the Western Chief Executive Officer."

"All work related to the defense of the Kunlun Secret Realm takes priority, and all resources in the west are to be used unconditionally."

The entire command center was silent, with only the hum of operating instruments and the rise and fall of breathing.

Everyone could tell that the Western Chief Executive Officer was suppressing her inner anxiety with an almost frantic work ethic—

Her speaking speed when giving orders was 30% faster than usual, and her pen nib pierced the paper several times when signing documents.

When the final deployment plan was confirmed and everyone left, Xiao Yuwei stood alone in front of the monitoring screen.

Su Lei's vital signs on the screen were stable as usual, but the red line representing Mental Energy was still so faint it was heart-wrenching... Two days later.

At the Peak of the Kunlun Mountains, a biting cold wind howled, sweeping fine snow particles against the metal city walls, making a crisp, delicate sound.

The two-hundred-meter-long Sky-Based Particle Cannon barrel was assembled, standing like a giant pillar reaching for the sky.

The dark metal surface gleamed with a cold, eerie light under the sun.

Ten large energy shields were distributed in various directions, forming a translucent blue water curtain that enveloped the entire main Peak.

Occasionally, a bird would fly by, and the moment it touched the shield, it would stir up ripples of energy waves, then be gently bounced away.

The pressure difference inside and outside the shield formed a visible airflow barrier, completely isolating the external wind and snow.

The twelve-meter-high alloy wall undulated along the mountain range.

Every hundred meters, there was a guard tower equipped with a quantum scanner.

Fully armed soldiers patrolled the wall, their heavy military boots clanking in unison on the metal ground.

The white mist exhaled condensed into frost on their visors, then was quickly melted by the built-in constant temperature System.

The command center at the mountainside was brightly lit, with a holographic sandbox displaying the real-time defense situation of the entire area.

Six Grandmasters led one hundred and twenty Martial Masters, divided into three teams, stationed in the north, east, and south... Trial Space.

The sixty-sixth floor was a vast, boundless desert.

The scorching sun baked the sand grains scalding hot, and heat waves distorted the distant scenery.

Su Lei knelt on one knee on the dune, covered in blood.

In front of him, a giant centipede Yao Beast over a hundred meters long crashed to the ground.

Fetid green bodily fluid spurted from the shattered carapace, corroding the surrounding sand into steaming pits.

From the sixtieth floor onwards, the difficulty of the trial sharply increased.

Each floor featured either a Grandmaster-level Martial Artist or a terrifying Yao Beast of this kind.

Su Lei slowly straightened his body, his muscular physique revealed beneath his torn clothes.

He was covered in fresh wounds from the battle, blood continuously dripping.

However, these fatal injuries were recovering at a visible speed.

In just a few seconds, the wounds stopped bleeding, scabbed over, fell off, revealing tender, intact skin.

Thirty-two choices, and each time he unhesitatingly chose the Cultivation Technique reward.

The "Blood Fiend Burning Meridians Art" made his Meridians as hot and tough as magma;

The bones tempered by the "White Bone Contemplation Diagram" far surpassed alloy;

The "Nine Revolutions Green Pine Strength" laid a solid Foundation;

The "Five Viscera Divine Power Technique" nourished his vibrant internal organs;

The "Golden Cicada Shedding Skin Method" forged skin that was impenetrable to blades and spears;

And the "Dragon Tendon Tiger Marrow Chapter" made his tendons like a Dragon and his bone marrow like mercury... He discarded the dross and extracted the essence from these Cultivation Techniques.

Finally, with the Nine Heavens Thunder Shocking Method as the Foundation and Lei Shi Body Forging as a supplement, he thoroughly integrated them all.

Now, his Physical Body had reached the Peak of a Fourth-Order Martial Master.

Even more precious was the vast sea of Cultivation knowledge in his mind, which allowed him to reach an unprecedented understanding of the Martial Dao Cultivation.

Even if he were to truly become an ordinary person now, relying on this knowledge, he could Cultivate to the Peak of a Martial Master within half a year without any external aid!

The centipede Yao Beast's body dissolved into countless light particles and disappeared, and three gilded chests appeared before him.

Su Lei didn't even look at the weapon and Martial Skill options, directly reaching out to press the Cultivation Technique treasure chest.

"Boom!"

Vast energy poured into his body, his entire body's Qi and blood instantly boiled, compressing madly within his Meridians.

One drop, two drops... finally, a wisp of Protective Aura, as thin as a hair, condensed in his Dantian.

As this wisp of Protective Aura flowed through his Meridians, Su Lei involuntarily closed his eyes.

The long-lost sense of power made his fingertips tremble slightly.

Unlike his original golden Protective Aura, this newly born Protective Aura displayed a colorful luster.

Each circulation left a faint luminous trace in his Meridians, like the brilliant aurora in the night sky.

Su Lei opened his eyes, a flash of electric light crossing his pupils.

He slowly raised his hand, a wisp of colorful Protective Aura danced at his fingertips, sometimes as gentle as flowing water, sometimes as violent as thunder... Trial Tower seventy-seventh floor, at the Peak of a vast snowy mountain.

Su Lei's figure flitted like a ghost, the colorful Protective Aura condensed at his fingertips tracing brilliant trajectories in the air.

Two Grandmasters had just adopted defensive stances when a blood flower simultaneously bloomed at their throats.

Their eyes wide, they clutched their necks in disbelief, but their bodies had already uncontrollably knelt to the ground, instantly dissolving into points of light.

"Too weak." Su Lei shook his head, not even looking at the three treasure chests that appeared, directly choosing the Cultivation Technique chest in the middle.

The profound scriptures of the "Spirit Platform Mirror Art" surged into his mind like a clear spring, nourishing his damaged Soul... Seventy-fifth floor, a Hellish scene of rolling lava.

In the scorching lava river, three lava giant lizards with double wings on their backs simultaneously pounced, their hot breath melting even rocks into crimson slurry.

Su Lei neither dodged nor avoided, forming a hand seal.

The colorful Protective Aura around his body suddenly erupted, forming a three-meter-tall Protective Aura Dharma Idol outside his body.

"Break!"

The Dharma Idol punched out, and the three Yao Beasts didn't even have time to shriek before they were annihilated in the brilliant Protective Aura.

The lava river was split open by the aftershock of the punch, revealing the shimmering trial runes at the bottom of the riverbed.

Eighty-eighth floor... eighty-fifth floor... ninety-eighth floor... The enemies on each floor were like mere chickens and dogs before him.
