55: The boundary of the Forest Kingdom has been broken!

The border of the Forest Kingdom.

Next.

The sudden intervention of a Level 1 Demon Slayer at the scene where the Demon Slaying Institute was breaking the wall was an exceptionally explosive event in the entire history of Divine Punishment.

Because, as luck would have it...

The North Border War God, flying high in the sky, had just said with absolute certainty:

"Facts have proven that the bug allowing the boundary wall to be broken has already been fixed by the Divine Punishment System. Looking at our Human Race, even if the Human Emperor came himself, it would be to no avail."

"Little Lin, you can announce that this wall-breaking operation has failed."

The conclusion drawn by the War God...

...was undoubtedly the absolute truth to Lin Nan and the experts of the Demon Slaying Institute.

Now that the North Border War God had spoken, it meant the boundary wall truly could not be broken again.

"Yes, I understand."

Lin Nan lowered his head dejectedly.

His heart was filled with despair and indignation.

According to the latest news from the front lines,

The Divine Strategy Legion, fighting a bloody battle in Japan, was once again facing unfavorable conditions.

Under the command of Human Emperor Ye Zhibai, they had proactively shrunk their defensive lines and the entire army had retreated into the territory of Han Country.

Of course, Japan and Han Country had long since been destroyed.

This meant...

...if within the next year,

the overall strength of the Human Race did not reach Rank 200+ and the front-line troops were not replenished,

the Divine Strategy Legion would have no choice but to fully withdraw into China.

When that happened, the flames of war would burn into the China mainland, and the Human Race would face its darkest hour!

"Damn it, can the boundary wall really not be broken?"

At this moment, it wasn't just Lin Nan.

Even all the Human Race experts present simultaneously asked this question of indignation in their hearts.

Then... with a bang in their minds,

as if a flash of inspiration had struck,

the same person came to everyone's mind.

—Demon Slayer!

If Demon Slayer were here, could he break the boundary wall?

...Right now,

amidst everyone's hopes, Su Yan entered the scene.

"Demon Slayer?"

"Demon Slayer!"

"Is this a hallucination? Demon Slayer actually came!"

With Su Yan's arrival,

Lin Nan and the other experts of the Demon Slaying Institute were all pleasantly surprised, staring at him with intense, burning gazes.

It seemed they couldn't believe that Demon Slayer had actually fulfilled their wish and appeared here.

At this time,

the North Border War God slowly descended from the high sky onto the devastated ground, his aura becoming restrained once more.

He sized up Demon Slayer, a hint of doubt appearing on his steady face as he asked:

"Demon Slayer, what are you doing here?"

Su Yan stepped forward with steady strides, raising the staff, dragons fury, in his hand.

"I am naturally here to break the wall."

Boom!

As soon as these words were spoken,

the entire scene erupted.

Lin Nan's gaze toward him became even more fervent!

The North Border War God shook his head:

"Go back. The wall-breaking bug has been fixed by the System; it can never be broken again from now on."

Su Yan had also heard about this just now.

They said that after the last maintenance, the System added a Health Regeneration Mechanism to the boundary wall.

As long as a certain amount of health was lost, it would trigger regeneration.

But in his view,

things might not be that simple.

It was possible the System had also increased the boundary wall's total health.

Thinking of this, Su Yan looked up directly at the North Border War God and said calmly:

"It's fine. Since I'm already here anyway, I want to try."

"Why bother? When you know it won't succeed, trying ten thousand more times will yield the same result."

"Instead of wasting time, you'd be better off increasing your Rank first."

"With your Talent and strength, you could raise your Rank to 200 within half a year."

"Only when you try then might a turning point appear."

The North Border War God had never spoken so many words to anyone,

but for the mere Rank 1 Demon Slayer, he had already given a sufficient amount of respect.

Level up?

Su Yan expressed with inward tears,

I want to level up too, but my strength simply won't allow it.

Su Yan smiled slightly: "Thank you for the guidance, War God Senior. I'll only try once. If it doesn't work, I'll go level up."

Since things had been put that way, the North Border War God said nothing more.

However, he had no intention of leaving, seemingly wanting to see...

...just what level the SSS-Rank Talent Awakener who had gone viral across the internet these past few days—Demon Slayer—had grown to.

Or to put it another way, to see what he was made of.

Thus, whether Su Yan was willing or not,

he became the focus of everyone's attention.

Soon.

Su Yan strode up to the boundary wall.

He looked up at the wall, and Lin Nan's tense and worried voice sounded behind him.

"Demon Slayer, this place will be covered by toxic mist in 30 seconds. You only have one chance to strike."

One strike?

Su Yan nodded, "I understand."

After speaking, his gaze suddenly became sharp and bright.

Without any nonsense,

he directly used Summon God!

"Help me, Dawn!"

"Full output!"

In an instant.

"Yes, Master."

As that soft and gentle voice sounded,

Divine Power hundreds of times more terrifying than the last time surged from his palm, enveloping Su Yan's body as he soared into the high sky.

At this moment.

Dawn shattered the darkness, and the light of Dawn instantly illuminated the entire night sky.

"This is?!"

The North Border War God's eyes suddenly erupted with shock. Looking up at the changes in the sky, he was shocked beyond measure.

And Lin Nan and the other experts of the Demon Slaying Institute were also full of awe; everyone was stunned.

What kind of skill was this, to be able to turn night into dawn!

This had already far exceeded their understanding!

Even the North Border War God was no exception!

At this moment,

Divine Power burned wildly within his body as Su Yan held his staff high.

He gave a light wave toward the shimmering boundary wall.

"Fireball Spell!"

He casually conjured a Fireball Spell and threw it out.

Bang!

The fireball exploded on the boundary wall in an instant!

Critical Hit!

-9,999,999,999,999,999!

Immediately, a damage number so long it overflowed the field of vision jumped into everyone's eyes.

Boom!

Following that,

the Forest Kingdom boundary wall, which had been declared unbreakable by the North Border War God,

had no room for resistance in the face of this absolute damage and collapsed with a roar!

Crash—

The shimmering boundary wall shattered into a pile of debris!

The toxic mist spreading from the surroundings completely dissipated.

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap..."

At that moment, all the experts of the Demon Slaying Institute were frozen in shock, as if they had just seen a ghost.

Lin Nan's eyes filled with tears as he murmured to himself, "The boundary wall... it actually broke."

"Thank you, Demon Slayer. You have saved the Divine Strategy Legion, you have saved all of China."

*Gulp!*

The North Border War God swallowed hard, his expression shifting through a flurry of emotions.

Finally, he said with extreme excitement:

"God bless my Human Race. A new era belonging to Demon Slayer has arrived!"

...Meanwhile.

Dawn quietly receded, and the sky returned to night.

The ethereal and loud world announcement sounded in the night sky:

"Player [Demon Slayer] has shattered the Forest Kingdom boundary wall. The Forest Kingdom Rank limit has been removed. Rank 200 players may proceed to the next map on their own."

"Players who have already reached Rank 200 and completed the Breakthrough quest will receive compensatory rewards later!"

"The green and healthy environment of the Land of Divine Punishment needs every player to maintain it together! We wish all Travelers a pleasant journey and hope you reach the Holy Capital soon!"

...In the quiet night,

once this world announcement was issued,

it instantly ignited the world channel for the Nth time.

"So cool! The Forest Kingdom boundary wall was shattered too? Demon Slayer is freaking awesome!"

"Great, this is just great! I've been stuck on the Breakthrough quest for sixty years. I never thought I'd see the day I could level up again! Thank you, Demon Slayer!"

"Wuwu, is Big Boss Demon Slayer there? When are you going to break the Rank 500 boundary wall too!"

"Are there fewer people tonight? Where did everyone go?"

Gu Xingxia: "Looking for a wife online, anyone will do."

...Back at the boundary wall.

After breaking the wall, Su Yan was about to say, "Isn't this pretty simple?"

Suddenly, he heard a charming yet urgent voice in his ear.

"Su Yan, log off quickly, something has happened!"

???

Su Yan was greatly shocked.

This voice belonged to his bodyguard, Lin Qian!
