79: Chapter 79 My Feast for the Senses!

The moment that pair of blood-colored pupils snapped open, the temperature of the entire Seventh War Zone plummeted.

It wasn't a physical cold.

Rather, it was a shudder originating from the depths of the soul—the most primal fear felt when one's life tier is absolutely suppressed.

"An Emperor Realm Demon!"

Zhen Hai squeezed out those four words from his throat, each one heavy with difficulty.

The color drained completely from his bronze-toned face.

Before an Emperor Realm Expert, a King Realm Expert was nothing more than an ant capable of struggling a few more times.

Lin Yuan stood atop the wall, the fierce winds whipping the corners of his clothes.

He felt no fear.

On the contrary, the dormant guixu black lotus within his body began to sway uncontrollably at this moment, transmitting a sense of... extremely thirsty greed!

Just as everyone was frozen in place, paralyzed by the shock of those blood-red eyes...

From within that writhing black cloud, a pillar of dark-red energy over a hundred meters in diameter tore through the sky and shot forth!

Screech—!

There was no world-shaking explosion, only the sharp noise of space being forcibly torn and annihilated.

As this dark-red light pillar passed, even space itself showed visible collapses and ripples.

It was fast to the extreme!

Its target was aimed directly at the middle section of the second defensive line!

"Activate shields! Maximum power!"

The Defense Officer's heart-wrenching roar echoed across the city wall.

Buzz!

A blue energy shield covering the entire Great Wall soared into the sky, attempting to intercept this world-destroying strike.

However, it was useless.

The moment the dark-red light pillar touched the blue shield, it didn't even last a second before it shattered with a bang!

It's over.

Only those two words remained in everyone's minds.

Seeing that the destructive light pillar was about to vaporize the entire section of the wall along with the tens of thousands of defenders on it...

At that exact moment, a crimson-gold meteor streaked across the sky!

Arriving later but striking first, it precisely blocked the light pillar's path just a moment before it could hit the wall!

The newcomer had a burly frame, with wild crimson hair reaching for the sky and knotted muscles that exuded a sense of explosive power.

It was the Yan Country Emperor Realm Expert, the Tyrant Martial Emperor, Yue Qingtian!

"Get the hell... back!"

With a thunderous roar, divine lightning descended from the heavens!

Yue Qingtian didn't use any weapons; he simply threw a punch!

Boom!!!

Fist and light collided violently in mid-air!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a circle of destructive, invisible shockwaves sweeping in all directions!

A massive hole was instantly torn through the demonic clouds in the sky.

On the ground, tens of thousands of demons were shaken into a mist of blood by the aftershocks!

That destructive light pillar was actually stopped dead by this single punch!

Then, it cracked inch by inch, dissipating into a sky full of light fragments.

"It's the Tyrant Martial Emperor!"

"Lord Yue Qingtian is here!"

On the wall, the soldiers who had narrowly escaped death erupted into earth-shaking cheers.

Lin Yuan stood at the edge of the wall, silently watching that figure who looked like a God of War.

Is this a peak Emperor Realm Expert?

To withstand such a terrifying energy attack with nothing but pure physical strength.

However, before everyone could catch their breath...

The rolling demonic clouds in the north were torn open by an invisible force, creating a massive gap in the center.

A burly demonic shadow covered in black-red bone armor, with metallic bat wings on its back, slowly descended.

The ancient demon, the Abyssal Blood Sky-Shaking Bat—Cain!

"Yue Qingtian..." A demonic voice containing destructive shockwaves spread out, "You stone in a latrine, both smelly and stubborn!"

Yue Qingtian grinned wildly, his snow-white teeth radiating endless dominance. "Cain! I didn't kill you last time, but today, this Emperor will take your life!"

Before his voice finished echoing, two terrifying avatars that blotted out the sun manifested and crashed into each other!

[Overlord Star-Shattering Avatar]!

[Eternal Night Sky-Shaking Avatar]!

The sky was split in two—one half brilliant crimson-gold, the other deep, dark black.

That was a battlefield of gods; mortals would die upon contact.

However, the equilibrium of the battle in the sky meant the total collapse of the battlefield on the ground.

"Report! All high-energy turrets have exhausted their spirit crystals!"

"Report! All rune crossbow arrays have overloaded and exploded!"

"The wall... we can't hold it! The demons are climbing up!"

One bloody report after another signaled the end of long-range firepower.

The Defense Officer looked at the world-destroying battle of gods in the high sky, then looked down at the black ocean of demons that had already scaled the wall, revealing their hideous heads.

A tragic smile appeared on his face.

He drew his chipped long saber and held it high.

"Brothers!"

"Behind us is our home."

"We're out of shells."

He looked around at the faces of those beside him—blood-stained yet still resolute.

"Now, it's our turn."

The Defense Officer used all his strength to issue his final command.

"All units!"

"Draw your sabers!"

Shwing—!

Tens of thousands of sabers were unsheathed simultaneously, their blades reflecting the eerie light from the sky.

"Seventh War Zone, Second Defense Line, Third Army Group!"

Only the intent to die in battle remained in his eyes.

"Fight to the death! No retreat!"

"Follow me... Charge!"

He leaped down from the hundred-meter-high wall like a pebble thrown into a black ocean, instantly swallowed up.

"Kill—!"

Behind him, tens of thousands of figures followed their commander without hesitation, forming a torrent of flesh and blood as they charged toward death with no regrets.

Zhen Hai's eyes were bloodshot as he clenched his fists. The members of the support team beside him also wore expressions of grief, prepared to follow them to their deaths.

"Senior Zhen Hai."

A calm voice suddenly sounded.

Zhen Hai snapped his head around, only to see that Lin Yuan had walked to the edge of the wall at some point.

"You..."

Lin Yuan didn't look at him, but instead gazed down at the fragile defensive line built of flesh and life.

He felt the resolute will of those soldiers, and the light and heat they burst forth with as they burned their lives.

It was very heroic.

It was also... very foolish.

Lin Yuan never believed in sacrifice.

He only believed in absolute power.

He believed in devouring all enemies and all threats completely, using the bones of his enemies to forge an eternal peace.

"Senior, hold this position."

Lin Yuan said indifferently.

Before his voice could fade...

He took a step forward and likewise leaped down from the hundred-meter-high wall.

But unlike those soldiers who went gallantly to their deaths...

His descent was not a fall.

It was an advent!

"Lin Yuan!" Zhen Hai turned pale with shock and reached out to grab him, but only caught an afterimage.

In mid-air, the corners of Lin Yuan's mouth slowly curled into a cold and cruel arc.

"What a... grand gluttonous feast."

Boom!

His body crashed into the densest part of the demon horde like a black meteorite!
