190: The assassination that determines the future

The conference room instantly fell into a deathly silence, where even breathing became clearly audible.

Everyone's expressions varied; some clenched their fists, others closed their eyes, but in the end, everyone slowly nodded.

This was a mission of no return.

Qin Wuyan's gaze turned to Wang Qingtian, "Continue to describe the plan formulated by your military department."

Wang Qingtian took a deep breath, his finger swiping across the holographic projection, and the northern map suddenly zoomed in, countless red dots surging like a tide.

"Gather the forces of the army and the Martial Alliance Association to form a large army."

"Their mission is to attract the attention of the Demonic Beast army and hold them back as much as possible."

On the projection, an arrow composed of blue light points pierced directly from the Southern Realm into the Northern Realm, like a sharp sword, thrusting into the red tide.

"Until it is confirmed that there are no guards around the Demonic Beast—"

His finger suddenly swiped, and a dazzling white light abruptly lit up in the center of the projection.

"Activate a spatial rift to teleport the special squad next to the Demonic Beast for assassination!"

...The meeting ended, and the metal door slowly slid open.

Generals from various departments filed out, their hurried footsteps echoing in the alloy corridor.

Qin Wuyan stopped Su Lei at a corner.

"The success of this operation depends entirely on you."

"If the Seal fails, the Federation, and even the Human Race, will have their future completely cut off..."

Su Lei was silent for a moment.

Weighing his words, he finally said in a deep voice, "The Seal is not complicated; I have fully mastered the method."

Qin Wuyan nodded, but the doubt in his eyes did not dissipate.

"My concern is, what if something happens to you, the Seal..."

Su Lei frowned slightly.

—Logically speaking, the Federation's people had already visited the Western Seal base and submitted a very detailed report.

The other party was the President of the Federation; it was impossible for him not to have seen it, so why ask such a question specifically?

He looked at Qin Wuyan and slowly said, "Don't worry, it won't be affected."

"As long as a massive amount of energy is continuously injected into the Seal chains, the Seal can be maintained for a thousand years."

Qin Wuyan was silent for a long time, finally letting out a soft sigh.

"Resolve the Northern Realm as soon as possible."

"The problem in the East Sea is already imminent. Every day of delay, that Demonic Beast will corrupt tens of thousands of marine creatures."

...Three hours later, a military transport plane tore through the clouds, speeding towards the northern border.

Inside the cabin, Su Lei closed his eyes to rest, with "sky prison" laid across his lap.

The dark patterns on the scabbard shimmered faintly under the red light in the cabin, flickering like breathing.

Suddenly, the fuselage vibrated slightly.

He opened his eyes and looked down through the porthole—

Ten giant military bases stood like steel fortresses, guarding every pass.

Five hundred thousand troops were stationed here, with trenches and defensive works crisscrossing, forming a thousand-mile-long death line of defense.

And further away, a black tide surged.

Those were Demonic Beasts.

Dense and numerous, like a locust plague, they were frantically assaulting the border defense line.

"Third defense zone requesting support! Repeat, third defense zone requesting support!"

A roar came from the communicator, mixed with explosions and screams.

The transport plane quickly lowered its altitude.

The ground battlefield was already a purgatory.

New recruit Zhao Rui slumped in the trench, his trembling hand barely able to grip his battle saber.

His mask was splattered with his comrades' blood, and everywhere he looked, there were dismembered limbs.

—Three second-tier Demonic Beasts had broken through the firepower net, tearing at the scattered soldiers.

Their sharp claws easily pierced through armor, ripping human bodies apart like rags.

"It's over..." Zhao Rui closed his eyes in despair.

Suddenly—

A dark red saber light slashed down from the sky!

Like a bloody lightning bolt, it instantly crossed a thousand meters, precisely piercing through the heads of ten Demonic Beasts!

Pfft—!

The bodies of the Demonic Beasts stiffened simultaneously, then exploded with a roar, black blood splattering like rain.

The battlefield suddenly fell silent.

Zhao Rui stared blankly upwards, seeing a pitch-black transport plane slowly descending in the center of the base.

The moment the cabin door opened, a slender figure could be vaguely seen sheathing his saber.

"Who... is that?" he murmured.

The veteran beside him shouted with wild joy, "It's the reinforcing expert!"

The entire defense line instantly erupted.

Su Lei stood at the cabin door, the strong wind whipping at his clothes.

He indifferently scanned the battlefield, then turned and disappeared into the shadows of the cabin.

And the power of that one saber strike had already boosted everyone's morale dramatically!

...Northern Realm Abyss.

Thick darkness surged in the abyss, wrapping around the jagged rock walls like a living thing.

There was no light here, only twisted shadows and bone-chilling cold.

In the deepest part of the abyss, a throne constructed from bones and black crystals stood majestically.

The Demonic Beast—[Burial Mound]—sat silently upon it.

Its body was as massive as a mountain, covered in pitch-black scales, with dark purple energy flowing between every scale gap.

Its head was lowered, and six scarlet vertical pupils slowly opened in the darkness, like six blood moons, coldly gazing into the Void Realm.

Suddenly, its Mental Energy spread like a tide, stirring invisible ripples in the Void Realm.

"Several powerful humans have arrived at the border."

"They are about to launch a new round of attack..."

"Get ready."

A deep voice exploded directly in the consciousness of the four Demonic Beast leaders, like a muffled thunder rolling by.

To the east, "Blood Beak" spread its bone wings, covering the sky, and corrosive mucus dripped from its sharp beak.

To the west, "Corroding Bone" raised its rotten head from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and eerie green ghost fire ignited in its empty eye sockets.

To the south, "Shadow Weaver"'s body was like flowing darkness, countless tentacles wriggling in the shadows.

To the north, "Ice Skeleton"'s glacial body creaked, and ice crystals refracted distorted light and shadow.

Shadow Weaver's tentacles trembled slightly, letting out a hoarse laugh:

"My parasitic host has infiltrated their military base."

"Whatever these ants plot... I will know it at the first possible moment."

Burial Mound's vertical pupils contracted slightly.

"The others pose no threat."

"The key is that human named Su Lei."

A rare trace of apprehension showed in its Mental Energy.

"He has obtained the Legacy of the previous era and mastered the secret art of the Seal."

"Those two fools in the west and east, 'Abyss Devourer' and 'Nether Howler', both suffered losses at the hands of this human."

"And... he even made my severed limb into a weapon."

Ice Skeleton's glacial body suddenly cracked, then quickly reassembled, emitting a harsh grinding sound:

"This, on the contrary, is a very good opportunity."

"Nether Howler in the east is constantly devouring marine creatures and expanding its influence."

"We must speed up."

The abyss fell into a brief silence.

Burial Mound slowly raised its head, its six vertical pupils simultaneously locking onto a certain direction.

As if piercing through a thousand miles, directly gazing at the core of the human defense line.

Finally, its Mental Energy erupted like a tsunami:

"Since the Human Race's elites are gathered here... in this battle, let's completely crush them."

"Transform their flesh and blood into our warriors, then devour the power of the Western Abyss Devourer..."

"Finally, engage in a decisive battle with Nether Howler of the East Sea to determine who is the overlord of this planet."

With its declaration, the entire abyss began to tremble.

Countless corrupted creatures awakened from the darkness, letting out bloodthirsty roars.
