179: Eight Grandmasters at the Peak? The Terrifying Western Theater Command

After hearing Li Xue凝's self-introduction, Chairman Cheng frowned deeply.

Not only had he seen Su Lei's information, but all the high-ranking officials of the Federation had also meticulously reviewed it several times.

Naturally, they knew he had a wife named Li Xue凝.

She was originally an ordinary person, but a few months ago, she came to the Martial Alliance Association and completed her Martial Master certification.

This incident caused quite a stir within the Martial Alliance at the time and was recorded in the database archives.

It's just that—

Chairman Cheng took a deep breath, forcing himself to remain calm.

"Your Excellency... became a Grandmaster?"

"When did this happen? This speed is simply too..."

Beside him, Lin Qianqian, who was leaning against the conference table with her arms crossed, suddenly interjected.

"Not a Grandmaster, but a Peak Grandmaster."

Chairman Cheng unconsciously turned his gaze towards her, and the next moment, he suddenly frowned.

He said uncertainly, "You..."

Lin Qianqian snorted lightly, "What kind of look is that?"

"Let me tell you, all eight of us have already reached the Peak Grandmaster Realm."

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Chairman Cheng but also the Chief of General Staff suddenly stood up, his chair scraping against the floor with a harsh sound.

Fine beads of sweat seeped from the forehead of this battle-hardened old general, and his Adam's apple bobbed with difficulty.

"Eight... a full eight Peak Grandmasters..."

"How is this possible!"

At the first sign of the Demonic Beasts breaking free in the Northern Region, the Federation issued a summons from both the military and the Martial Alliance Association.

Despite this, they only managed to gather ten Peak Grandmaster powerhouses!

And the Western Theater Command actually has eight?

This is without even counting Su Lei and Xiao Yuwei's situations!

He was well aware of what had happened in the Western Theater Command recently.

Lin Xiaotian's forbidden experiments, the conflict between the Kunlun Secret Realm and the Lei Family, the appearance of Demonic Beasts... it had been a period of continuous turmoil.

Who would have thought that there was such a terrifying hidden power?!

A single Western Theater Command possesses power comparable to the entire Federation!

"Are you surprised?"

The corner of Lin Qianqian's mouth curved into a playful smile, and she casually waved her right hand.

Thirty-six solidified sword shadows appeared out of thin air, slowly rotating above the conference table, each emitting a heart-pounding energy fluctuation.

"The complete version of the Heavenly Protective Aura Sword Art is more than three times stronger than the incomplete fragment collected by the Martial Alliance."

"If you don't believe me, would you like to try it?"

Li Xue凝 reached out and smoothed a strand of hair by her ear, clarifying the doubts in their minds.

"Before Su Lei left, he left a wisp of Mental Energy in the Trial Tower."

"With his experience and help, we quickly passed the hundredth floor."

"Each of us obtained some ancient martial arts Legacies."

The Chief of General Staff staggered back half a step.

Chairman Cheng took a deep breath.

He realized that he might have severely underestimated the strength of the Western Theater Command, and even more so, the man named Su Lei.

A ripple spread around Li Xue凝, and her delicate brows furrowed slightly.

"Our purpose here is to go to the Northern Region with Su Lei and fight alongside him."

"But I don't sense his aura... has he already departed?"

The Chairman hesitated for a full three seconds before speaking: "Su Lei... he went to the Eastern Region."

Everyone was stunned, "Isn't he going to the Northern Region to suppress the Demonic Beasts?"

Lin Qianqian suddenly opened the holographic projection and brought up the abruptly cut-off image from earlier.

The eight people gathered around, their expressions grim.

Chen Xuan suddenly realized something, "Is he going to settle things with the Lei Family? This..."

Ye Qingyun frowned incessantly, "Facing Demonic Beasts and the Three Great Families alone... this is too risky!"

While everyone was discussing, Li Xue凝 had already turned around.

Her steps seemed elegant and composed, yet in a single stride, she covered a distance of ten meters.

Lin Qianqian and the others immediately followed, their long shadows stretching out under the emergency lights of the corridor, like eight unsheathed sharp swords.

"Wait!" the Chief of General Staff suddenly called out.

"Even if all of you are Peak Grandmasters, you cannot act rashly!"

"The Demonic Beasts in the Eastern Region might have already broken free, and we don't know what the Three Great Families are planning."

"Going there rashly with unknown circumstances..."

Li Xue凝's footsteps paused, and she raised her right hand.

The explosion-proof glass wall at the end of the corridor was shattered into countless sparkling fragments.

"Since that's the case, then we should go and support Su Lei, shouldn't we?"

As the last word fell, the eight figures simultaneously vanished into the pouring rain...

Su Lei trod through the Void Realm, faint ripples spreading beneath his feet.

Each step seemed to land on an invisible staircase, as he steadily advanced a hundred meters in the air.

The further east he went, the gloomier the sky became.

He was enveloped in a thin, cicada-wing-like light screen.

Dense runes flowed on the light screen, completely isolating his aura.

Several corrupted flying Yao Beasts swept past him, yet they ignored the prey so close at hand.

When he crossed the last ridge, his vision suddenly cleared.

The originally azure seawater now glowed with an eerie dark green, its surface covered with a layer of sticky black substance.

The air was filled with a putrid, fishy smell, and even the sea breeze carried a nauseatingly sweet scent.

In the distance, where the sea met the sky, an island shrouded in bloody mist appeared faintly.

That was the agreed-upon battle location with Lei Mietian—Dongling Island.

Su Lei narrowed his eyes, golden light swirling in his pupils, faintly revealing the twisted and mutated vegetation and Peaks on the island.

Just as he was about to accelerate, the sea beneath his feet suddenly darkened.

A massive black shadow was rapidly expanding underwater, with a diameter of at least a thousand meters.

The seawater churned violently, countless corroded fish frantically fleeing, only to turn into white bones the moment they touched the black seawater.

"Roar—"

Accompanied by a deafening roar, a tentacle as thick as a battleship burst out of the water.

Its surface was covered with pus-filled suction cups.

The tentacle was densely embedded with human eyes, each one spinning madly, staring intently at Su Lei in the sky.

"Interesting, you can actually detect me."

Su Lei's brows furrowed slightly, and his Mental Energy instantly spread out.

The scene within his Perception range made his heart sink—

Not just this sea area, but thousands of kilometers of seawater had been stained dark black.

Countless marine creatures had mutated, some growing extra limbs, others with festering skin yet still swimming.

Even the smallest plankton were filled with dark energy.

"It seems the entire East Sea has fallen..."

He murmured softly, his right hand forming a fist in the air, and a long saber condensed from pure Protective Aura took shape in his palm.

The blade was completely transparent, with only the edge glowing with dazzling colorful light.

Below, more tentacles burst out of the water, each carrying a suffocating pressure.

The seawater churned as if boiling, and a colossal body comparable to a small island was surfacing.

The eyes embedded in the tentacles suddenly all became bloodshot, emitting an eerie red glow.

Su Lei took a deep breath, and the light screen around him suddenly brightened.

He no longer concealed his aura; his vast, ocean-like Mental Energy shot skyward, tearing open a colorful crack in the overcast sky.

"I'm in a hurry; I don't have time to play with you."

As his words fell, his figure had already vanished from its original spot.

The next second, ten thousand rays of light bloomed on the sea surface.
