76: Chapter 76: These days, demons are quite interesting; they like to use Blood Mist Escape.

Demon Suppression Fortress, VIP Viewing Room.

The space was spacious, with the scents of fruit and wine intermingling.

Commander Xiao Lie sat on the left side of the sofa, holding a glass of amber-colored spirits, his gaze profound.

Patriarch Xiao Tiannan sat on the right, eyes closed in rest, his fingers rhythmically tapping on the golden nanmu armrest.

The two did not exchange a single word throughout, nor did they even glance at each other.

However, the heads of various major conglomerates and family patriarchs present were all True God-rank powerhouses.

They clearly perceived the space between Commander Xiao Lie and Patriarch Xiao Tiannan.

It was producing faint wails due to the collision of two restrained Laws.

The secret voice transmissions could not deceive the intuition of these old foxes.

A hawk from the military was butting heads with the number one family of Tianhai Province.

Many conglomerate heads held their wine glasses, their eyes meeting surreptitiously between the two, with smiles of anticipation for a show in their eyes.

Commander Xiao Lie had poured in military resources.

To support a commoner from Jiangcheng with zero background; this was no longer a secret in the upper circles of Tianhai Province.

And Patriarch Xiao Tiannan's grandson, Xiao Ting, was a strong contender in this grand examination.

"General Xiao has taken too large a step this time," a director of Starsea Biotechnology whispered to his companion.

"A commoner is just a commoner. Foundations are not something that can be smashed out with resources overnight."

"That kid entered the Demon God Plane; he'll be lucky to even fight for a top 100 spot this time."

The companion smiled noncommittally, casting his gaze toward the large screen.

Three hundred thousand points of light.

Had already penetrated the atmosphere of the Demon God Planet and scattered across the vast outer regions.

The battle royale had begun.

The gale howled, and the sensation of weightlessness vanished.

Lin Yuan's feet landed firmly on the hard ground.

Without activating any Divine Power shields, he looked up directly to survey his surroundings.

The sky presented a sickly leaden gray, and heavy devilish clouds hung very low.

Deep within the clouds, dark red lightning intertwined and burst forth like massive blood vessels.

The earth was shattered and fragmented.

As far as the eye could see, the ground was carved into crisscrossing abyssal canyons.

Because the Demon God Laws were incomplete, the gravitational field here was extremely chaotic.

Several giant rocks nearby were actually floating in mid-air.

A river of dark red magma even defied the Laws of physics, flowing backward up the cliff walls toward the sky.

"As expected of the resting place of a living Demon God."

Lin Yuan took a deep breath of the air here, his lungs aching faintly, but it was immediately forcibly purified by his formidable Physical Body at the third turn of the Demigod stage.

He recalled the so-called "Shattered Continent" from the Jiangcheng grand examination.

Compared to this place, that Shattered Continent was practically a neatly trimmed greenhouse garden.

Extreme adversity, extreme destruction.

By comparison, his own Divine Domain, which had undergone 500 years of deduction and had a relatively balanced ecology,

appeared somewhat "refined and pretty".

Just as Lin Yuan was observing the terrain,

the dark red permafrost beneath his feet suddenly began to tremble.

"Boom!"

The soil exploded.

Five centipedes, each over three meters long and covered in pale bone armor, burst out from the soil.

On every segment of their dorsal armor grew a ghastly pale human face.

Their mouthparts spat out foul-smelling, pungent green venom, sealing off Lin Yuan's retreat from five directions simultaneously.

High-tier Silver rank, Human-Faced Corpse Worms.

For the vast majority of commoner candidates who had just landed, this was undoubtedly a death trap leading to immediate elimination.

But Lin Yuan stood where he was, not even lifting an eyelid.

He clenched his right hand into a fist, without utilizing any Laws.

Relying solely on his Physical Body strength, he punched out five times in succession at the surrounding air.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sonic booms sounded like thunder.

The air waves compressed the air in front into visible white air hammers, which smashed directly into the bodies of the five Human-Faced Corpse Worms.

The hard bone armor shattered like eggshells.

The five high-tier Silver rank monsters didn't even have time to let out a scream.

They were blasted into five clouds of blood mist in mid-air, with bits of flesh mixed with green bodily fluids scattering all over the ground.

Lin Yuan shook the bloodstains off his fist, watching the rain of blood falling from the sky, his tone indifferent.

"Monsters these days, whenever they can't win, they love using the Blood Mist Evasion technique, don't they?"

Warm-up over.

Lin Yuan had no interest in wasting time on the outskirts with these low-tier monsters.

He flipped his wrist, and a Gold-tier folding card appeared in his palm.

He injected Divine Power.

Several giant spatial gates, each tens of thousands of meters high and wide, unfolded out of thin air in the canyon behind Lin Yuan.

"Come out and get to work," Lin Yuan issued a divine decree.

The next second, suffocating Evil Qi surged out from the spatial gates.

The first to step out of the passage was the Tyrant.

With every step it took, the chaotic gravitational field around it was forcibly suppressed and smoothed out.

Following closely behind were seven hundred thousand fully armed Tyrant Demon, pouring out with uniform, synchronized steps.

Bloodthirsty red light burned in their eyes as they greedily gulped down the Demon God aura in the air.

In the sky, devilish clouds roiled.

Hundreds of thousands of Demon Vultures and Bone Blade Bats blotted out the sky, shrouding the already dim canyon.

Eight thousand Calamity Fire Spirit wove through the army of avian creatures, dragging out a sky full of frigid toxic fire, even igniting the surrounding abyssal Devilish Qi.

Finally, a black sea of insects surged out.

Eight hundred thousand Soldier Insects, led by the Gold nine-star Insect King, carpeted the earth.

Their arthropod limbs cut into the rock, emitting a teeth-grinding friction sound.

Two million strong army.

Filled this vast canyon to the brim.

Not a single monster dared to approach this area.

The indigenous creatures within a hundred-mile radius instinctively sensed the arrival of a cataclysm and fled in a panic.

"Roar—!"

The Tyrant walked up to Lin Yuan, knelt heavily on one knee, and lowered its high-held head.

Lin Yuan leaped and stood firmly on the Tyrant's broad shoulder.

He looked down from above, surveying the army below.

"Form ranks."

Lin Yuan's voice echoed simultaneously in the minds of the two million kin through the mental link.

The army moved rapidly.

The Tyrant Demon, proficient in the Shadow Lurker Law, leaped up and rode on the backs of the aerial creatures.

From the seven hundred thousand-strong Tyrant Demon army, the Titan Violent Demons, with the most massive builds and most monstrous defenses, were singled out.

One hundred thousand Titan Violent Demons took the lead at the very front, transforming into ruthless flesh-and-blood bulldozers.

Clearing roads through mountains and bridging across waters.

Any obstacle blocking their path was completely pulverized.

"Insect King." Lin Yuan shifted his gaze to the Insect King below.

The Insect King stood up its upper body, crossing its two arm blades in front of its chest.

"Take your subordinates, spread out over a hundred kilometers, and act as radar," Lin Yuan pointed toward the deepest core region of the Demon God Planet.

"Mark every high-tier nest, rare mineral vein, and Demon God follower you encounter along the way."

"I want it so that not even a single valuable stone is left on this land."

The Insect King's compound eyes glowed, and it let out a high-frequency hiss.

The eight hundred thousand-strong insect army instantly transformed into countless black torrents.

Radiating outward in all directions along canyons, cliff walls, and underground.

Their sensory capabilities were extremely abnormal.

Even energy mineral veins buried a hundred meters underground could not escape the Soldier Insects' sense of smell.

"All forces, advance."
