77: Chapter 77: A Mixed Cataclysm Descends, and Rare Mutants Are Obtained for Free

Demon God Planet, northern outskirts.

Gale-force winds roared, and thunder ravaged the leaden-gray sky.

Xiao Ting stood with his hands behind his back on the back of a Lion Dragon King over twelve meters long.

Below, an army of a million Lion Dragons blotted out the sky.

These monsters possessed the bodies of lions, but their heads were covered in Dragon scales, and they had broad, fleshy wings on their backs.

Cyan gale winds and purple thunder intertwined around their bodies.

Ahead lay the sprawling territory of the Abyss Demon Apes.

Hundreds of thousands of Demon Apes beat their chests and hurled giant rocks with highly corrosive properties.

"Wind-Thunder Absolute Killing War Formation, rise." Xiao Ting's eyes were cold as he spat out these words.

The million Lion Dragons flapped their wings in unison.

Violent winds erupted, transforming into countless visible cyan wind blades.

Thunder attached to the edges of the wind blades, forming a massive strangulation net covering tens of miles.

The giant net descended upon them.

The giant rocks hurled by the Demon Apes were sliced into powder.

The tens of thousands of Demon Apes charging at the front were pierced through by the wind blades.

Flesh was separated, and bones were shattered.

The high temperature of the thunder carbonized the minced flesh instantly.

It was utterly destructive.

Xiao Ting watched the points jumping on his terminal and laughed arrogantly.

But he soon noticed something amiss.

After smelling the scent of blood, the Lion Dragon swarm below had eyes glowing with an unnatural crimson.

They broke away from the war formation's original trajectory and began to pounce on the Demon Ape remains, tearing at them frantically by instinct.

The side effects of depleting the Family strategic reserves over the past few days to forcibly raise the tier of his kin had kicked in.

Lion Dragons were extremely prone to falling into a frenzy and no longer listened to micro-management commands.

Xiao Ting snorted coldly, and his Divine Power pressed down through the mental link.

The Lion Dragon King let out a painful whine, forcibly driving back its peers.

"A minor flaw, nothing to worry about." Xiao Ting withdrew his Divine Power and cast his gaze toward the dark red core area in the deepest part of the planet.

"Lin Yuan, a commoner is a commoner for life; I refuse to believe I can't outcompete you."

East, Rotten Poison Swamp.

Su Yueying hovered in mid-air.

She wore silver battle armor, and six wings condensed from light elements flapped slowly behind her.

In the mud below, thousands of ten-meter-long Abyss Demon Crocodiles lay dormant.

Their bodies were covered in venomous sores, emitting a nauseating stench.

In the sky, one hundred thousand six-winged Holy Light angels lined up in a neat phalanx.

Accompanied by solemn chanting, the holy radiance illuminated the dim Demon God Planet.

Compared to the Jiangcheng Exam, Su Yueying's aura was now even more unfathomable.

The ancient angel Divinity fragment she had merged with had completely finished its Awakening.

The angel army raised their cross-shaped longswords in unison.

Incandescent Holy Flames ignited on the blades.

This was no longer just pure light elements, but carried the ultimate Law of armor penetration and Soul burning.

"Purify." Su Yueying's voice was cold and clear.

The angel army swooped down.

The cross-shaped longswords sliced through the air and struck into the swamp.

The muddy water was evaporated.

The Demon Crocodiles' scales did not explode upon contact with the Holy Flames.

Their bodies were like melting snow under the scorching sun.

They melted and dissipated silently, leaving not even a trace of residue.

Su Yueying looked at the completely purified clearing below, her expression calm and unruffled.

She waved her hand, and the army continued to advance toward the core area.

South, Desolate Gobi.

The ground trembled, and the sound of metal tracks and mechanical feet trampling the earth merged into a dull thunder.

Chu Yunxuan sat upright on a floating throne.

Below, an army of a million mechanical beasts covered the horizon.

This time, it was not just a single type of semi-mechanical Demon Wolf.

Walking at the very front were tens of thousands of thirty-meter-tall mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rexes.

They were crafted entirely from dark silver alloy, with super-energy particle heavy cannons mounted on their backs.

Within the core power furnace, the Teacher Lei Yan lifeform emitted violent high temperatures and electric arcs.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Ten thousand cannons fired simultaneously.

Deep blue particle beams pierced through the Gobi, evaporating the Demon monster stronghold ahead along with the garrison inside.

In the sky, tens of thousands of Pterosaur-shaped mechanical bombers roared past.

The belly hatches opened, and high-explosive electromagnetic bombs rained down.

On the flanks, one hundred thousand mechanical Triceratops strode forward, launching a death charge.

The sharp alloy horns pierced the remaining Demon monsters directly.

Under the cover of the mechanical legion.

Class Monitor Li Xiuqi and other top students led their own kin, frantically finishing off enemies and cleaning up the battlefield at the edges.

Chu Yunxuan looked at the battle report on the light screen and casually transferred a sum of military merit points to these underlings.

"Thank you, Young Master Chu!" Class Monitor Li Xiuqi and the others were flushed with excitement, thanking him in the communication channel.

"Following me, you don't even have to die to get a top ranking in Tianhai Province." Chu Yunxuan's tone was flat, carrying the air of a superior bestowing charity.

What he wanted was not just combat power, but this sense of control, being surrounded like the stars around the moon.

West, Great Rift Valley.

There was no million-strong army here, only 150,000 heavy mechs crafted from pure metal.

Zhan Kuang was shirtless, his muscles knotted.

He stood on top of a blood-red mech, letting the gale winds batter him.

These 150,000 mechs were at least High-Gold rank.

They were full of rugged heavy industrial aesthetics, with high-temperature steam venting from their joints.

Deep in the rift, hundreds of thousands of Abyss Gargoyles swooped in to kill.

"Kill!" Zhan Kuang roared.

The mech legion raised their right arms in unison.

The six-barreled heavy machine cannons began to rotate.

A deafening metal storm swept toward the sky.

The Gargoyles were riddled with holes in mid-air, and gravel fell with a rustling sound.

A few massive Silver-rank Demonic Beasts charged close.

High-frequency plasma chainsaw swords popped out from the mechs' left arms.

A flash of deep blue light.

The Demonic Beasts were neatly sliced in half, the cuts charred black.

Zhan Kuang laughed, enjoying this most primitive and violent steel crushing.

Another ancient forest.

Murong Bai stood on a hill with his arms crossed.

Ahead, one hundred thousand heavy Behemoth beasts, over twenty meters tall, were uprooting trees.

The living Tree Demons in the forest were directly uprooted by the Behemoths and used as weapons to smash things around.

At the feet of the Behemoth legion, a large number of functional auxiliary species were attached.

Hundreds of thousands of Shamans waved totem poles.

Red auras of Bloodlust, Stone Skin, and Giant Strength bloomed on the Behemoths.

Everything living in their path was crushed into pulp by this physical force.

Meanwhile, other top Prodigies also displayed despair-inducing combat power.

A youth in white commanded one hundred thousand Sword Cultivators; the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Sword Formation rotated, and sword light like a Dragon strangled a group of Abyss Demon Dragons in mid-air.

Another Prodigy summoned stars across the sky; the starlight turned into falling meteorites, smashing the surface within ten miles into a deep crater.

The chaebol young master with a Dragon legion, the necromancer Prodigy driving ten million undead, the inheritor controlling the starry sky insect swarm...

And those aristocratic disciples whose strength wasn't top-tier, but who weren't willing to settle for just a passing grade.

They went in groups, dozens of people huddled together.

Shield bearers held the line, mages dealt damage, and priests healed.

They fought steadily, hunting High-rank Demonic Beasts and scavenging resources in the middle layer of the planet.

As for the vast majority of commoner students, the style was completely different.

Fatty Wang was sticking his butt out, sweating profusely as he directed 25,000 Black Demon Pigs to dig the ground.

"Quick, quick, quick! This magic crystal is high-purity! Dig it all out for me!"

"That lone skeleton monster over there, you few hundred pigs go over and smash its bone frame for me!"

Fatty Wang's eyes were bright, and his movements were agile.

He firmly implemented Lin Yuan's "Dao of Survival" policy, never taking a step deeper.

Once he encountered swarms of Demonic Beasts, he didn't say a word.

He immediately had the Black Demon Pigs use their innate skill to dig holes and escape underground, changing locations to continue mining.

"The core area is for the gods to fight; I, Fatty, will just quietly make a fortune on the outskirts!"

Fatty Wang wiped his sweat, looking at the steadily rising points on his terminal, his mouth unable to close from joy.

Meanwhile, in the Demon God Plane, deep within the Abyss Great Canyon.

There was no smooth, destructive progress like the Prodigies here.

A mixed extreme catastrophe formed by gravity collapse, dark matter thunder, and extreme cold ice storms was tightly sealing the canyon exit.

Inside the catastrophe, space was turbulent and chaotic.

The tearing force within was enough to grind a Peak-Gold rank Demonic Beast into powder on the spot.

Even a Platinum-rank creature would have its Origin ground away bit by bit if it fell into it.

Suddenly, the black mist in the center of the catastrophe began to roil.

"Boom!"

Hundreds of thick, giant hands covered in dark gold fluid forcibly reached out from inside the storm.

The five fingers, like iron hooks, gripped the spatial barrier tightly.

"Tear it open." Lin Yuan's voice came from inside the storm.

The next second.

Hundreds of Platinum-rank Tyrant Demons exerted force simultaneously, the dark gold fluid on their bodies glowing brightly.

The extreme gravity field erupted in reverse, colliding violently with the tearing force of the catastrophe.

This mixed catastrophe, which anyone would fear, was forcibly torn open by this group of muscle monsters, creating a gap a thousand meters wide!

The thunder dissipated, and the ice storm collapsed.

The Tyrant took the lead, charging out from the gap fiercely.

It stomped the ground heavily, shattering the remaining aftermath of the catastrophe around it.

Seven hundred thousand Tyrant Demons, eight hundred thousand Zerg, and a sky full of Demon Vultures, bats, and Calamity Fire Spirit poured out from the gap closely behind.

Lin Yuan stood on the Tyrant's shoulder, reaching out to brush the frost off his combat suit.

His luck when landing was indeed a bit bad.

The army had just left the canyon.

This mixed catastrophe, triggered by the incompleteness of the plane's Law, descended without warning, enveloping them all.

Because the Zerg army had smaller individual bodies, many branches were blown away in the gravity storm.

Resulting in the overall progress being delayed by nearly an hour.

But Lin Yuan was not angry.

Because this hour was not wasted.

Inside a catastrophe, rare items that are hard to see in the outside world are often nurtured.

With a thought, Lin Yuan waved his hand and opened a small Divine Domain channel.

Inside the channel were several special Demonic Beasts, tightly bound by dark gold fluid and on the verge of death.

They were thrown directly into the depths of the Wasteland Divine Domain's mountains.

The first was a [Heavy Water Black Turtle], five meters long, with natural water-control formation patterns inscribed on its shell.

The second was a [Thunder Sound Bat], with three heads, capable of emitting sound waves that could shatter the Soul.

The third was a [Gravity Rock Monster], a rock monster composed of high-density rock structures that could change the surrounding gravity on its own.

These things.

On the internal federal auction house, they were all rare mutant species that were priceless and hard to find.

They couldn't be caught normally.

Only in the center of such extreme Law storms would they briefly reveal their traces.

A blessing in disguise.

The survival way of the Wasteland is to plunder all valuable resources.

Just as Lin Yuan was calculating the subsequent reinforcement plan.

A high-frequency sound of wings flapping came from the sky.

The Gold-9 star Insect Queen turned into a silver stream of light, piercing through the clouds and landing steadily on the rock in front of the Tyrant.

It stood up its upper body, crossed its two arm blades in front of its chest, and sent a mental message to Lin Yuan.

"Dominator." The Insect Queen's voice rang in Lin Yuan's mind.

"The insect swarm scattered by the storm has re-established the mental link and is rapidly converging toward the main force; it is expected that the integration of the entire army will be completed within half an hour."

Lin Yuan nodded: "Well done. Any other discoveries?"

The Insect Queen reported quickly: "A scout insect swarm from the Fifth Formation in the northwest direction has discovered a large Source Crystal mine."

"In the center of the mine, there is a suspected complete Demon God Altar."

Lin Yuan's eyes flickered slightly.

An Abyss Source Crystal mine, plus a Demon God Altar.

This is a strategic resource capable of extracting high-purity energy and enhancing the foundation of the Divine Domain's Origin.

Its value is thousands and tens of thousands of times higher than the few points given for killing low-rank Demonic Beasts on the outskirts.

"Location." Lin Yuan asked.

"Eight hundred kilometers away from us." The Insect Queen responded, and then a trace of ferocity flashed in its compound eyes.

"But the scout insect swarm reported that the area has already been blockaded by another massive legion."

"The opponent got there first and is cleaning up the surrounding guardian Demonic Beasts, and has set up a defensive line."

Beaten to it?

Lin Yuan smiled.

In the Abyss battlefield, there is no first-come-first-served, only the Law of the jungle.

Everything on this Demon God Plane is ownerless.

Whoever has the hardest fist makes the rules.

"Lead the way." Lin Yuan waved his hand, his eyes becoming cold.

"Entire army, advance at full speed."

"Crush all living things that resist within our field of vision."
