93: Chapter 93 Military Edge

When the flying ship landed at the Sea of Thousand Realms Mist outpost, Shen Ye noticed that the atmosphere in the camp was completely different from a few days ago.

The cracks on the perimeter walls, split open by the bone blade of the new Void Clan Warrior, had all been repaired, and the law reinforcement patterns were reactivated.

The twilight beacon extended several kilometers outward from the outpost walls, forming a stable Twilight Light Network corridor.

The wounded soldiers were queuing at the medical station to change their dressings, and several soldiers with minor injuries had already removed their bandages, sitting at the entrance of the cafeteria helping Second Lieutenant Meng Yan peel potatoes.

General Lin Yuan stood in front of the sand table, his baton pointing at a deep red area in the northwest, layered with scorch marks from the law of ashes.

Qin Youyou's squad had already cleared out all the perimeter scouts and extracted complete communication logs from the wreckage of exploration equipment captured from the ruins.

The logs confirmed that the Crown Prince returned directly to the experimental base after leaving the Abyss of First Birth and ordered all new Void Clan Warriors still under testing to be withdrawn into the base.

"He wants to concentrate his strength to complete the final version of the Perfect Abyss-Devouring Body."

Qin Shu projected the latest frontline reconnaissance data onto the sand table.

The reconnaissance team found a large number of discarded prototype bone armors on the periphery, each one intact, indicating that the Crown Prince had initiated a recall rather than being forced to retreat.

At the same time, the reconnaissance team captured low-frequency vibrations coming from deep within the base, the intensity of which was steadily climbing; clearly, the experiment had entered its most critical final stage.

"We are racing against time. He obtained the raw data from the Abyss of First Birth a few days earlier than I did, but his base's monitoring system must have also captured the law fluctuations generated by the resonance between the Mirror Fire and the Heart of Twilight when I broke through to Tier 3 God."

Shen Ye placed the residual energy sample of the Mirror Fire brought back from the Abyss of First Birth on the edge of the sand table.

"He should already know that I completed the breakthrough before he did. Therefore, he will spare no cost to accelerate the final fusion of the Perfect Abyss-Devouring Body, even if it means sacrificing stability, just to emerge before I attack."

General Lin Yuan's baton drew a circle around the periphery of the base, the boundary of the Twilight Light Network just catching the outer edge of the base's law barrier.

The light network could suppress the activity of Abyssal Energy but could not directly penetrate the Crown Prince's law barrier.

To break through the barrier, a gap must be torn in it.

Yan Shan had walked to the sand table with Hou Tu following behind him.

The newly tempered Rock Pattern extended from his elbows to his shoulder blades, its surface glowing with a faint twilight luster.

His right arm had taken the full force of the seal's backlash when he smashed open the ancient seal in the underground palace of the Abyss of First Birth, and the new Rock Pattern was denser and tougher than before.

"Leave the law structure of the barrier to me. As long as I can find the node, one punch will be enough."

Bai Ye indicated that his Time Stop domain could freeze the flow of laws inside and outside the barrier, securing the best node for Yan Shan to strike.

Qin Youyou, carrying her ancient war spear, added that there should still be a large number of unfinished new warriors hidden inside the base.

After her ancient war spear was tempered, its perception range had expanded significantly, allowing her to lock onto their positions in advance.

Both shield and spear were in position.

Shen Ye's gaze swept over everyone at the edge of the sand table.

General Lin Yuan nodded steadily.

The engine preheating remote in Qin Shu's hand began to blink.

Second Lieutenant Meng Yan, peeling potatoes at the entrance of the medical station, waved his peeler at him through the window, and Tie Chui crouched in the corner holding the miniature model of the mobile alchemy room.

He suddenly remembered what Liu Yang said when he stuffed that amulet with the corner sewn inside out into his hand at the Nanjiang No. 7 High School airport— "Take it to the National Competition, and it's as if I went too."

He pressed the small amulet on his chest through his clothes.

It had been naturally protected by the spiritual power within his body when he broke through to Tier 3 God and remained intact to this day.

The stitches were crooked, and one corner was sewn inside out, exactly the same as it was in the beginning.

He turned to the sand table, conjured the twilight longsword in his hand, and pointed the tip at the very center of the Crown Prince's experimental base.

"Tie Chui is responsible for pushing the mobile alchemy room to the base's periphery and using the twilight beacon to continuously suppress the Abyssal Energy outside the barrier."

"After Yan Shan breaks the barrier, I, Yan Shan, Bai Ye, and Qin Youyou will storm in from the front."

"General Lin Yuan will command the advancement of the beacons from the outside, and Qin Shu will be responsible for blocking the rift at the rear of the base—the Crown Prince might try to escape through there to the core area of the Abyssal Empire."

Everyone stood up straight simultaneously.

A faint friction sound emitted from Yan Shan's right arm as the Rock Pattern hardened.

Bai Ye's Time Law array rotated slowly around his body.

Qin Youyou lifted her ancient war spear and shouldered it, the tip gleaming with a cold light under the law-light of the sand table.

The roar of the flying ship's engine came from the airport.

Where the military edge points, the Crown Prince's last line of defense will be dismantled by our own hands today.
