97: Chapter 97 The Collapse and Anomaly of the Ninth-Order Main World!

Secretary-General Wu Zhengde looked at Lin Feng's lineup of max-level divine beasts, his scalp tingling with shock.

Just what kind of god-tier setup was this?

No wonder Elder Long had repeatedly emphasized that Lin Feng must be treated and groomed as a successor.

Looking back at the thousands of years of the Great Xia Alliance's history, one could definitely not find a second peerless monster like him who had appeared out of nowhere.

The army had finished assembling.

Over a hundred Positioning Pods simultaneously entered the final coordinates: [X554124, Y412410].

Their target was the Super-Ruin Cluster in the deepest part of the void.

Although it was a long journey, the expeditionary force was entirely composed of high-rank powerhouses.

The Starry Sky Fortress, spliced together from over a hundred territories, advanced through the void at a terrifying speed.

Along the way, they encountered several wild Rank 3 and Rank 4 fragments. There was no need for Lin Feng to lift a finger; the military experts at the front line casually cast a few spells and blasted them into powder.

There was no profit to be squeezed out of such low-level fragments, so no one even bothered to give them a second glance.

A few hours later.

The main force finally arrived at the edge of the cordon for the designated coordinates.

As soon as they approached.

Lin Feng immediately felt a terrifying pressure, as heavy as Mount Tai, surging toward him!

"What a terrifying aura!" Lin Feng's heart tightened.

The intensity of this pressure completely crushed any wreckage he had encountered before!

At the end of his vision, a boundless super-ruin lay quietly across the void.

And at the very center of these ruins was, shockingly, a complete Rank 9 plane!

According to General Yan Xiao, this was a Main World that had only recently fallen!

Even if Elder Long were to lead the team himself, he probably wouldn't be able to crack this tough nut.

Fortunately.

When this Main World collapsed and disintegrated, it exploded into countless scrap fragments.

From Rank 1 to Rank 8, they had everything.

The closer one got to the center, the higher the rank of the fragments.

The Great Xia expeditionary force's goal was very clear: avoid the Rank 9 death trap in the middle and specifically sweep through the Rank 6 and Rank 7 fragments on the periphery to scavenge Origin Crystals.

"Attention everyone, the fleet is stopping its advance."

Secretary-General Wu Zhengde issued orders over the public channel.

"In this area, the main force's movements are too cumbersome. Everyone, detach your territories and form combat teams of three to five people. Spreading out to search will be more efficient."

Just as everyone was about to undo the physical connections and split up to work.

A weird, sarcastic synthesized electronic voice suddenly drifted from the depths of the void.

"Yo, you trash from the Great Xia Alliance arrived quite early."

Immediately following that.

A massive, dark mass of foreign territories aggressively flanked them from the other side of the sea of stars.

"Ding! Radar warning! Rank 8 plane detected approaching!"

"Ding! Rank 7 plane detected approaching!"

...

The system alarms flashed frantically.

Lin Feng frowned slightly and looked toward the source of the sound.

High-rank gods were fully capable of using spiritual power to shout across boundaries in the void.

"It's the forces of the Blood Moon Empire!"

Someone exclaimed in the military channel.

The Great Xia Alliance and the Blood Moon Empire shared a blood feud. Now that they had met on a narrow path in this desolate wilderness, the atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point, thick with the scent of gunpowder.

"Muto, it's been a few years, and you're still just a Rank 8 amateur. You haven't improved a bit."

Secretary-General Wu Zhengde was not polite at all, immediately retorting with sarcasm.

The leader on the opposite side was none other than the Foreign Affairs Chief of the Blood Moon Empire's United Front Department, Muto!

"The feeling is mutual."

From the territory opposite, Muto's voice came with a fake smile, "If I'm not mistaken, Lin Feng, Great Xia's newly minted wanted criminal, should be hiding in your ranks today, right?"

Lin Feng clearly felt a cold divine sense scanning back and forth across the Great Xia Alliance's fortress like radar.

The other party was clearly looking for him.

As a high-profile target on the Blood Moon Empire's top bounty list, Lin Feng was definitely Muto's number one hunting target.

"Whether he's here or not is none of your business."

Secretary-General Wu Zhengde snorted coldly, and a vast divine sense soared into the sky, directly smashing Muto's detection waves to pieces.

The starry sky fortresses of both sides confronted each other from a distance; neither dared to fire first.

After a standoff lasting ten minutes.

The Blood Moon Empire's forces were the first to make a concession.

Muto's cold voice came again: "Keep Lin Feng's life for now; there will be plenty of chances to deal with him later. Everyone, enter the field and scavenge for resources!"

Subsequently, the Blood Moon Empire's fleet pulled back and sailed directly into the depths of the super-ruins.

"Those bandits actually have their eyes on these ruins too."

Once the enemy forces were far away, Secretary-General Wu Zhengde's expression became very grave.

In the lawless void, there is no logic to speak of. Might is the only truth.

The forces deployed by the Blood Moon Empire this time were not small.

The reason they didn't attack was that they weren't confident they could swallow the Great Xia fleet in one gulp.

Once they caught someone alone, the Great Xia officers would surely be left without a place to be buried.

Facing this sudden turn of events.

Secretary-General Wu Zhengde and General Yan Xiao consulted quickly and immediately decided to cancel the grouping plan.

The over one hundred people continued to advance as a group.

Although the scavenging efficiency would drop significantly, it would at least ensure everyone's safety.

If they split up, they would 100% be picked off one by one by the Blood Moon Empire's hunting teams.

Under Secretary-General Wu Zhengde's unified command.

The Great Xia expeditionary force, like a giant bulldozer, slowly rolled into the ruin belt.

Along the way, they encountered over a dozen Rank 6 and 7 fragments. Under the collective assault of over a hundred gods, the native monsters didn't even make a splash before being completely flattened.

However, not all fragments contained treasures.

After clearing over thirty plots of land, the group had only found seven or eight Elemental Crystals in total.

These strategic materials were all centrally collected by Secretary-General Wu Zhengde, to be distributed based on contribution upon returning to the Imperial Capital or handed over to the national treasury in exchange for merit points.

Sticking with the main force, one couldn't even get a sip of soup.

Lin Feng sat in the Deduction Pod, bored to death and feeling a wave of frustration.

Just as he was pondering how to break away from the main force to work alone.

In the core area of the super-ruins, a world-destroying Energy Pulse suddenly erupted!

This shockwave surged directly from the center of the Rank 9 Main World, its power so violent it was beyond words.

In just the span of a single breath.

The Great Xia expeditionary force's Starry Sky Fortress suffered a devastating blow!

The dozen or so divine territories on the outermost layer didn't even have time to react before being brutally torn in half by the pulse!

Once the spatial barriers were forcibly torn apart by external force, the physical laws inside the plane would instantly collapse.

They were then completely ground into dust by the endless Void Turbulence!

Over a dozen elite officers of the Great Xia military had their souls scattered on the spot!

"What's happening! Quickly, stabilize the formation!"

Hit by sudden disaster, both Secretary-General Wu Zhengde and General Yan Xiao's faces changed.

Why would the Rank 9 plane at the center riot without any warning?

In previous expeditions, such a strange thing had never happened!

The penetration of this shockwave was simply too strong; even Lin Feng, hiding in the very center of the fortress, felt a violent shaking and tearing sensation from the Chaos Territory.
