207: Demonic Shadow Burning Soul

Boom!!!

The earth-shattering roar even caused the entire Trial Tower space to tremble violently!

The light pillar and the giant palm were in a stalemate in mid-air for less than three seconds.

“Pfft!”

Su Lei spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his body, like a kite with a broken string, was violently smashed to the ground, plowing a hundred-meter-long, ghoulish gully in the hard black earth!

A large hole was also pierced through the giant palm, but its remaining power did not diminish and continued to press down!

Li Xue凝, in the distance, was anxious. She condensed all her Protective Aura of frost, transforming it into a thick ice spear that shot towards the Demonic Venerable, but when it approached within ten meters of him, it was directly deflected by the distorted space, shooting off into an unknown distance!

Her attack couldn't even touch the enemy in the slightest!

Just as the giant palm was about to fall and completely obliterate Su Lei!

“Demon Shadow!”

Su Lei let out a final roar in his Sea of Consciousness.

“Lend me your power!”

In the Small World of the Sea of Consciousness, the willow tree formed by Demon Shadow’s Soul swayed violently. A massive amount of Soul Origin power, like a breached river, surged into Su Lei’s Sea of Consciousness without reservation!

“As long as I can kill Qin Wuyan! My life is yours!!!”

Demon Shadow’s will, carrying monstrous hatred and madness, roared!

With this power, Su Lei’s almost depleted Soul instantly filled up, becoming even several times stronger than during his peak!

In his eyes, one side was a brilliant galaxy flowing, while the other was occupied by pure, dead, Deep Blue.

Su Lei’s right hand formed a claw, and he fiercely ripped forward!

“Tear!!!”

A black rift, just wide enough for one person, appeared out of thin air in front of him!

The other end of the rift was endless, chaotic spatial turbulence violent enough to tear apart everything!

Almost the instant the rift formed, Su Lei didn't hesitate. He grabbed Li Xue凝, who had been sent flying by the energy shockwave, and flashed into it!

The next second, the giant spatial palm crashed down!

Boom!!!

The earth trembled violently, and a giant, bottomless palm print appeared where Su Lei and Li Xue凝 had been. The space around the palm print was still collapsing and annihilating.

And that afterimage of the Demonic Venerable, after losing its target, scanned its crimson eyes around, then returned to silence, slowly walking back to the mountain of bones, once again transforming into an unchanging statue… Light and shadow shifted.

Su Lei and Li Xue凝’s figures reappeared, disheveled, in front of the Trial Tower’s entrance stele.

Challenge, failed.

“Pfft…”

Su Lei spat out another mouthful of blood, his face ashen, and knelt on one knee.

“Su Lei!”

Li Xue凝’s delicate brows furrowed, and she quickly supported him.

Su Lei waved his hand, indicating he was fine.

He forcibly suppressed his surging Qi and blood, but his Sea of Consciousness was a mess.

The Soul willow tree that Demon Shadow had transformed into was now withered and listless.

That single tear had almost exhausted the Soul Origin he had accumulated for a thousand years.

And Su Lei’s own Soul was also like an overstretched spring, utterly exhausted.

“So… that’s how it is.”

“What’s wrong?”

Su Lei’s sudden remark left Li Xue凝 confused.

“I understand.”

Su Lei stood up and looked up at the ancient stone stele.

“The power of that Demonic Venerable’s afterimage, its core isn't the Space Law.”

“It’s corruption, it’s distortion.”

Li Xue凝 was stunned, still not understanding.

“He isn’t using space, but rather using his own Devilish Qi to pollute space, making space serve him.”

“Every attack he makes is spreading this pollution.”

“Just like a virus.”

Su Lei finally understood the true purpose of the Trial Tower.

It wasn’t just a training ground.

Western Military Region, Supreme Command Center.

All the core figures of the West were seated around a large circular conference table.

A holographic projection in the center of the conference table was continuously playing a video clip.

In the footage, Xiao Yuwei confronted five Federal Mecha Grandmasters. The Everlasting Ice Plain swept through the airport, pushing the opponents into a desperate situation.

Ultimately, Iron Prison had to reveal a miniature high-energy particle oscillation bomb to barely stabilize the situation.

The video had been meticulously edited, completely removing Iron Prison's initial armed coercion and arrogant demeanor, leaving only Xiao Yuwei's toughness and resolve.

This footage was enough to label the West as rebels attempting to split the Federation, for anyone unaware of the truth.

The video was Iron Prison’s official report sent back to the Federal Central.

Then, he privately sent this report to Chen Xuan, Ye Qingyun, Zhao Wufeng, and six other veteran Grandmasters who were not Su Lei’s direct subordinates.

“Is this the person you chose to follow?”

Iron Prison’s communication request was currently displayed on Chen Xuan’s personal terminal.

“I understand everyone’s feelings for Su Lei. He is a hero, and his death is a loss to the entire Federation.”

“But now is not the time for impulsive actions.”

The tone shifted, and the holographic projection’s screen changed.

It was no longer the tense airport, but a scorched earth ravaged by war.

This was a small town on the northern frontier.

After the Demonic Beast leader was Sealed, the remaining Demonic Beast army lost its unified command, turning into countless small-scale beast tides that scattered and fled, and a portion of them rushed here.

The camera swayed, passing through collapsed houses and burning vehicles.

A soldier with a severed arm was using his body to desperately block the entrance to a cellar. Beneath him were the corpses of several Demonic Beasts, while more Demonic Beasts were frantically tearing at his flesh.

Inside the cellar, the extremely suppressed cries of children could be faintly heard.

The scene shifted again to a temporary shelter, crowded with terrified civilians.

But the heavy alloy door of the shelter had been severely warped from impact, and outside were dense swarms of Demonic Beasts, repeatedly and frantically crashing against the door.

The camera pulled back, revealing the entire small town enveloped in fire and surrounded by Demonic Beasts.

Because the Federation’s main forces were concentrated on clearing Demonic Beasts in the core battlefield, they simply couldn't spare enough personnel to rescue these remote settlements.

They were soldiers, Martial Artists, who had fought their entire lives to protect humanity.

How could they sit idly by in the face of such tragedy?

“The Federation needs you.”

Iron Prison’s voice sounded again.

“I know your concerns. But please believe that President Qin Wuyan is absolutely not the kind of person you imagine him to be.”

“His actions against the Lei Family were for the stability of the Federation. Su Lei’s matter, perhaps… perhaps it was just a misunderstanding that none of us wanted to see.”

“Now, the Federation is willing to show its greatest sincerity.”

“As long as you are willing to return and assist the Federation in pacifying the Northern Border, the President promises to establish a Western Special Autonomous Region after the war, to be jointly managed by all of you, enjoying a high degree of autonomy.”

“Your Families will also receive the highest priority resource allocation from the Federation.”
