168: Chapter 168 Home Robbed

Yet, once these three hundred Nuclear Bombs fell, there would never be any living thing left on this island.

The remaining people on the island did not yet know that a catastrophe hung over their heads; they were still huddled in shelters, shivering, relying on their last remaining strength to pray for survival. They did not know that their last shred of hope was about to be completely crushed.

The Fear Value kept rising, and Mo Yufei kept exchanging for more. Naturally, the more Nuclear Bombs, the better; that way, everyone could ripen together.

Mo Yufei lowered his eyes indifferently, his fingertips confirming the launch command for the first Nuclear Bomb.

The high-altitude clouds were torn apart with a roar. A heavy strategic Nuclear Bomb, accompanied by a screech that tore through the air, slammed straight into the largest air-raid shelter complex in the center of the island.

In an instant, a blinding white light, intense enough to burn the retinas, exploded. There was no buffer; the terrifying high temperature instantly swept across a radius of a thousand meters. The heavy, reinforced concrete shelters crumbled like paper. The hundreds of survivors hiding deep within the shelters didn't even have time to scream; their Physical Bodies, clothing, and bones were all instantly vaporized by the tens of thousands of degrees of heat, vanishing into thin air without a trace.

A visible ring-shaped shockwave crushed the ground, sending soil and rocks flying. Trees were carbonized and shattered, and the ground sank directly, creating a massive, charred crater.

This was just the detonation of a single Nuclear Bomb.

[Extreme panic, near-death despair, and annihilation terror detected among all personnel on the island; Fear Value + 1,268,000!]

[Fear Value received in real-time; exchangeable for 18 brand new Nuclear Bombs!]

The System prompt was crisp and decisive, forming a perfect closed loop.

The explosion of one Nuclear Bomb could catalyze overwhelming collective fear on the island, resulting in massive amounts of Fear Value being credited in seconds. Once credited, it could immediately be exchanged for more Nuclear Bombs. With more Nuclear Bombs dropping, the fear would double again, the Fear Value would skyrocket, and the Nuclear Bombs would increase infinitely.

This was not just a one-time destruction; it was an endless harvest of using fear to cultivate Nuclear Bombs, and using Nuclear Bombs to create fear.

In the cracks of the shelter ruins, the sporadic survivors who had luckily escaped the shockwave of the first nuclear blast were covered in charred dust. Watching the persistent white nuclear glow on the horizon, listening to the ceaseless roar of the nuclear aftershocks, and seeing their companions vanish into thin air while the earth turned into scorched soil, their extreme despair completely shattered everyone's psychological defenses.

Some broke down and cried, some knelt on the ground screaming madly, and some collapsed, losing control of their bodily functions. The bone-deep, annihilating fear grew wildly, pouring continuously into the System's value pool.

Mo Yufei watched the rapidly jumping and skyrocketing Fear Value panel. His fingers didn't stop; he instantly locked onto all remaining underground shelters, coastal tunnels, and hidden mountain shelters on the island with the eighteen brand-new Nuclear Bombs he had just obtained, launching them with one click.

The second wave of Nuclear Bombs fell one after another.

Mushroom cloud after mushroom cloud, dark and heavy, rose into the sky, covering the entire island's sky.

Every explosion triggered a new round of extreme panic, and every round of panic exchanged for more slaughter weapons.

Fear begets Nuclear Bombs, Nuclear Bombs devour living beings, living beings beget fear; the cycle repeats, never ceasing.

Just at the moment when the entire island was being swallowed by nuclear fire and a new round of Nuclear Bombs was about to fall,

Mo Yufei's brow suddenly furrowed. Deep within his Sea of Consciousness, the Taoyuan Secret Realm bound to him suddenly transmitted a violent tremor.

Unlike the stable and gentle rhythm of the Secret Realm in the past, this disturbance was violent and ferocious. The entire space of the Secret Realm trembled violently, and the barrier at the edge of the Secret Realm twisted and cracked crazily. The originally stable spatial barrier had been torn open with dense spatial rifts by the energy impact of the consecutive nuclear explosions from the outside world.

The Soul bodies of the exotic beasts sealed deep beneath the Secret Realm roared in agitation, and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi rampaged wildly. Even the unique Soul Rebirth rules of the Secret Realm experienced a brief lag and disorder.

Mo Yufei's movements suddenly halted, and his fingertips, prepared to click to launch the Nuclear Bombs, froze in mid-air.

Mo Yufei's pupils shrank, and the aura around his body instantly turned cold. He blurted out a sharp roar: "Not good! My home has been invaded!"

He immediately withdrew his Divine Sense used for launching the Nuclear Bombs, no longer paying attention to the skyrocketing Fear Value on the island. His consciousness jumped in an instant, and his vision sank completely into the interior of the Taoyuan Secret Realm.

He saw a one-hundred-meter-wide dark spatial rift split open in the sky of the Secret Realm. The outside of the rift connected to an unknown extraterritorial space, and the air pressure was biting and murderous.

A squad of standard heavy mechs, silver-gray in color and equipped with offensive and defensive energy patterns, marched in neat formation with steady steps, walking straight through the spatial rift and into this Taoyuan Secret Realm, which was exclusively controlled by Mo Yufei.

The mech shells shone with a cold light; their shoulder armor was equipped with world-breaking cannons, and their chests were engraved with exclusive extraterritorial expedition insignia. Each mech exuded a thick, high-level Spiritual energy pressure. There were exactly twenty-seven of them, in a tight formation, sealing off the entire forest area around the rift the moment they landed.

A top-tier leader mech at the head stepped slowly out of the rift. Its mech visor was pitch black and cold, and a low, mechanical human voice rang out, echoing across the entire Taoyuan Secret Realm.

"Target confirmed. Suspected fragment Secret Realm. Take control immediately. Clear out highly threatening exotic beasts within the Secret Realm. Search for the Secret Realm core immediately."

As the words fell, the entire team of mechs acted in synchronization; their movements were well-trained and without any hesitation.

The visors of all the mechs instantly lit up with light blue scanning screens. The external detection radars on their bodies rotated in all directions, and high-frequency detection light waves spread out, covering the entire mountains and forests of the Secret Realm.

The mechanical broadcast voices sounded in unison, one after another:

[Global environmental detection initiated.]

[Judgment: Unknown native independent Secret Realm, brand new unregistered Secret Realm territory.]

[Detecting atmospheric Spiritual Qi concentration: Far exceeding three times that of the extraterritorial homeland; Spiritual Qi purity is top-tier.]

[Detecting spatial stability; rarity rating: SSS Divine-Grade.]

[Scanning all living things in the region: Large number of native gregarious exotic beasts.]

[System entry: Secret Realm number S116]

The leader mech raised its head slightly, its scanning screen locking onto the Spirit Spring Valley in the center of the Secret Realm where the Origin was nurtured, its tone firm and cold.

"An excellent new Secret Realm, with no master in control. All members on alert. Partitioned reconnaissance. Stabilize the rift passage and wait for the main force to cross over and move in."

The twenty-seven mechs immediately split their formation, three mechs per group, dividing into nine major reconnaissance areas. Their energy boots kicked up dust as they landed, their body defense barriers fully activated, and their shoulder-mounted weapons entered standby mode.

Four mechs remained to guard the spatial rift. External anchoring devices were deployed, and silver-white energy patterns drilled into the ground, firmly fixing the cracked Secret Realm barrier to prevent the spatial rift from healing itself and to open a permanent entry channel for the extraterritorial army.

The remaining mechs dispersed and went deep into the Secret Realm's jungle, their detection light waves sweeping over grasslands, river valleys, and exotic beast nests, transmitting real-time data on terrain and resource points.

Hiding in the Void Realm of the Secret Realm and transformed into intangible Divine Sense, Mo Yufei looked down at the whole scene with cold eyes.

Extraterritorial cross-border mechs, an external Secret Realm exploration team, eyeing the Origin of the Taoyuan Secret Realm...

He had originally been single-mindedly contributing to all of humanity, working hard to exchange for Nuclear Bombs, striving to let every little devil feel the warmth.

As a result, this group of people had taken advantage of a loophole and broken into his Secret Realm.
