92: Chapter 92 You Have No Chance...

In the underground conference hall of the Dragon Country, the lights were as pallid as a shroud. Dozens of computer screens were arranged on the circular meeting table, each displaying the representatives of the major powers from Tianxuan Continent. At this moment, their faces were gloomier than the documents on the table.

The central holographic projection at the round table showed the current scene on the Starry Sky Plank Road. Compared to the terrifying colossal warship, the backs of the several dozen experts on the plank road appeared so insignificant...

Moreover, from the displayed footage, it seemed Ninth-Turn Experts were completely unable to channel their spiritual energy...

Silence. Deathly silence.

The one who broke the silence first was the President of Storm Country. He braced his hands on the table, his knuckles white from the force. His usual domineering aura was gone, replaced by an unconcealable exhaustion and despair:

"Our most advanced laser weapons probably couldn't even breach their energy barrier..."

His voice carried a slight tremor. "Those experts are our last hope. If even they are powerless, what right do we have to resist?"

As his words fell, he pressed a red button on the table. The holographic projection switched to a real-time feed from within the continent.

Cities were in chaos, stampedes were frequent, and the cries of the common people transmitted through the screen pierced the eardrums painfully.

"If you all cannot devise a perfect strategy now, for the sake of the people, we will choose to sue for peace..."

He uttered these last few words with immense difficulty, as if he had expended all his strength. His eyes were filled with the humiliation and helplessness of a leader.

"Peace? What part of the meaning conveyed by that voice suggested they want us to sue for peace?" The President of Nanxiu Country slammed the table and stood up abruptly, his rough face full of unwillingness.

"We have fought beasts for millions of years, daring to claim invincibility even in battles with overwhelming odds. But now, we haven't even seen the enemy's face, and we're supposed to lay down our weapons and submit to their whims?"

His voice was loud, yet laced with undeniable powerlessness, causing the teacups on the table to tremble slightly. But when the holographic projection switched to scenes from various parts of the continent, his eyes dimmed again.

The current Tianxuan had descended into extreme chaos...

Chu Tianba, Clan Head of the Chu Clan, tapped his fingers lightly on the table:

"Old Xiao and the others, as Ninth-Turn Experts, find it difficult to circulate spiritual energy even on the Starry Sky Plank Road. Ordinary civilians and low-tier Professionals would only add to the casualties."

His voice was calm, yet carried a heavy force. "Notify all regions to activate the highest-level evacuation protocol. Move the people to underground shelters. Simultaneously, have the research departments dedicate all efforts to analyzing the technological data of the Tian Shu Fleet. Even if the chance is only one in ten thousand, we must leave a sliver of hope for future generations."

He paused, a flash of resolve in his eyes. "Additionally, we will send a communication request to that fleet. No matter the outcome, we must buy Tianxuan a chance to catch its breath!"

"But our Dragon Country absolutely will not surrender! If they insist on forcing us with their power, we will definitely choose to retaliate, even if it's like a moth flying into a flame..."

Around the conference table, representatives from other countries also spoke up, each making their own decisions.

With Tianxuan's current strength, resisting the attack of this external force was impossible. They could only delay or submit...

Or perhaps...

Die...

There were no impassioned oaths, no rousing mobilizations, only heavy sighs and helpless orders.

The high-level officials of each country understood clearly that these decisions couldn't change the final fate, yet they were still the last efforts they could make for this land.

The lights in the conference hall remained pallid, illuminating faces etched with exhaustion, unwillingness, and despair. Outside the window, the shadow of the Tian Shu Fleet continued to descend, like an inescapable nightmare enveloping the entire Tianxuan Continent.

In the communication channels, instructions from various countries were issued one after another.

The chaos in the cities gradually subsided, replaced by a deathly, submissive silence.

The common people also knew that resistance was futile, struggle was in vain. They could only passively accept the fate that was coming, arranged by their country's leaders, though their hearts were unwilling...

And those technology parks that once symbolized glory and power now fell into a deep silence, as if holding a soundless funeral for the era of freedom on Tianxuan Continent...

...

"You can't kneel?"

Seeing that not a single person on the Starry Sky Plank Road had reacted, Luo Shu's face showed displeasure as he spoke indifferently.

"Go to hell!"

Suddenly, a golden sphere of light shot out from the Starry Sky Plank Road, carrying violent spiritual energy as it sped towards Luo Shu standing in the air!

Who would have thought someone could still release a spiritual technique under this pressure!

Xiao Yuhe turned back in shock, discovering the light sphere came from Lu Xiu.

The Linglong Heart actually allowed him to circulate spiritual energy under divine-level pressure!

At this moment, Lu Xiu wore a stern expression, staring intently at the launched light sphere!

"Boom!"

The next moment, the light sphere exploded violently at Luo Shu's location, the intense spiritual energy storm instantly kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Hit!"

A smile appeared on Lu Xiu's face. The next instant, the dust dissipated instantly, and his smile froze on his face...

Luo Shu remained sitting unscathed on the spine of the Heavenly Tiger!

Lu Xiu suddenly felt a chill down his spine. A warrior wielding a longsword and clad in heavy armor instantly appeared behind him!

"No!"

Meng Feier roared, but under the pressure, he couldn't gather spiritual energy at all. He could only watch helplessly as that longsword pierced Lu Xiu's body!

The longsword pierced through the heart and emerged from the chest. Thick, fresh blood stained a patch of the Starry Sky Plank Road...

The other Tianxuan experts wanted to act, but an even stronger pressure instantly bore down on everyone. Previously unable to use spiritual energy, they now found they couldn't even move, frozen in place. Despair surged into their hearts like a tide!

"If it weren't because you are the strongest batch of people on this continent, and your deaths now would affect the continent's grade, your contempt for a deity alone would be enough to kill you eight hundred times over!" Luo Shu said indifferently.

Tianxuan Continent did not yet fully belong to him. Before that, there must be fewer deaths here.

It was only a Second-Tier Continent to begin with. If all the Ninth-Turn Experts died, causing the grade to drop to a First-Tier Continent, it would be a losing proposition...

The Divine Wish Power provided by a Second-Tier Continent was several times higher than that of a First-Tier Continent!

"Once I completely control this place, I will put all of you into the myriad soul banner."

A sinister smile surfaced on Luo Shu's face.

Just then, a voice suddenly sounded, ill-timed!

A youthful figure soon appeared on the Starry Sky Plank Road.

After clearly seeing this face, Xiao Yuhe's feelings were extremely complex.

In this situation, even they, as peak Ninth-Turn Experts, couldn't use a trace of spiritual energy...

Moreover, even if Chu Ran had the chance to summon his tamed beasts, how could he, alone, face this vast, mighty fleet...

"You shouldn't have come..." Xiao Yuhe's expression was despondent. With Chu Ran's talent, if he could hide, once he entered the Kaiyang Divine Territory with its more abundant spiritual energy, he would definitely have the potential to break through to the Totem Grade...

Chu Ran didn't speak. He slowly walked to the center of the blood pool and crouched down beside Lu Xiu's corpse.

He took out that crumpled, creased talisman paper and placed it on Lu Xiu's chest.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth instantly gathered, flowing into Lu Xiu's chest.

"A resurrection divine talisman?! You're actually wasting a resurrection divine talisman here?"

Seeing Chu Ran's actions, Luo Shu first looked shocked, then laughed. "What if I cut him down again right after he revives? Won't you explode then?"

"You won't get that chance." Chu Ran's eyes were as calm as water, yet faintly concealing a hint of barely perceptible anger...

Looking at Chu Ran's eyes, Xiao Yuhe felt, for some reason, that he had seen this look somewhere before?

Every time Chu Ran was about to cause a world-shaking commotion, this look would appear!

Xiao Yuhe suddenly felt his scalp go numb!

"You will die before the resurrection ritual is complete..." A smile appeared at the corner of Chu Ran's mouth:

"Along with your fleet."

A Beast Taming Formation Diagram inscribed with obscure spiritual patterns materialized behind him...
