88: Chapter 88: The Examination Hall Turns into a Slaughterhouse, Four Monsters Indiscriminately Clear the Area

Aerial combat erupts.

[Abyss Resentful Eye]

They have no physical form, only an energy eyeball the size of a water vat, surrounded by a ring of sharp bone spurs.

The pupils of the Resentful Eyes contracted sharply, and millions of deep blue beams wove into a massive net of death, strafing the descending Allied Forces.

Under the Law Silence Force Field, energy decays rapidly once it leaves the body.

But the number of aberrations was simply too high; quantitative changes led to qualitative changes.

"Roar!"

Qian Duoduo's 50,000 pure-blooded Dragons were the first to engage the enemy.

Their scorching Dragon Breath formed a waterfall flowing upwards, attempting to incinerate these deep blue beams.

Dragon Breath collided with the beams.

There was no violent explosion.

The deep blue beams displayed an eerie penetrative power, piercing through the thousand-degree Dragon Breath and accurately hitting the outer Draconid legion.

Pfft! Pfft!

Dragon scales were fragile before the beams.

The hit Draconids didn't even let out a scream; their bodies rapidly turned gray and shriveled.

Their vitality was rapidly drained, turning them into mummified corpses that plummeted toward the bottom of the deep pit.

"Damn it! My money!" Qian Duoduo stood on the back of his Platinum Dragon, his chubby face scrunching up as he watched hundreds of Draconids lost in the blink of an eye.

These were all elites he had fed with real gold and silver.

"Defend! Form the Dragon Language Shield!" Qian Duoduo shouted at the top of his lungs.

To the side, Xiao Ting was not having an easy time either.

His Wind and Thunder power also couldn't completely block the beams from penetrating.

"You death-seeking things!" Xiao Ting roared, his Wind and Thunder power erupting from within his body.

The Lion Dragon King beneath his feet let out a heaven-shaking roar, and cyan and purple light surged around its body.

Xiao Ting and the Lion Dragon King connected their auras, transforming in mid-air into a thunder spear a hundred zhang long.

The thunder spear, carrying the might to destroy everything, tore a gap in the dense net of deep blue beams, forcibly pushing downward with the Wind and Thunder Guards.

Inside the command tower, Chu Yunxuan remained expressionless, his ten fingers turning into blurs on the control console.

"All forces, activate the deflection force field, contract the formation, and cover the flanks."

A honeycomb-shaped deep blue energy shield appeared on the surface of the 1.3 million-strong mechanical army.

Those deadly deep blue beams hit the energy shield, their trajectories forcibly altered by the deflection force field, shooting off into empty space, grazing the edges of the mechanical army.

The shield energy was dropping crazily, but the mechanical legion's formation remained as stable as Mount Tai.

The Prodigies from all sides displayed their various Divine Abilities, pushing down against the sky full of beams.

Lin Yuan stood on the shoulder of the Tyrant Demon, watching the others displaying their abilities, his gaze calm.

He did not choose to be arrogant, nor did he try to steal the spotlight.

"Tyrant Demons, form up." Lin Yuan issued the command through a mental link.

The Titan Violent Demons on the periphery quickly raised their dark gold tower shields.

The Tyrant Demon's Extreme Gravity Field covered the surface of the tower shields, forming a layer of gravity barrier.

The deep blue beams shot into the gravity barrier, their speed visibly dropping sharply, before their trajectories were altered, causing them to collide and cancel each other out.

Occasionally, a few stray beams penetrated through and hit the Titan Violent Demons, but the dark gold fluid on their bodies quickly wriggled.

It devoured the residual energy completely, not even leaving a mark.

"Aerial formation, clean up the stragglers."

Hundreds of thousands of Demon Vultures circled inside the gravity barrier, their black gold feather blades flying through the gaps in the tower shields, slicing the approaching Abyss Resentful Eyes into pieces.

The Bone Blade Bats followed closely behind, their infrasonic capsules pulsating.

Invisible sound waves swept across in a fan shape, and the bone spurs on the surfaces of the Abyss Resentful Eyes caught in the waves shattered inch by inch, their energy cores dissipating directly.

Lin Yuan's defensive line was steady and solid, with combat losses almost at zero.

To outsiders, his combat performance was kept at the same level as the other Prodigies with remarkable tacit understanding.

Neither standing out nor falling behind.

Bai Ye's undead army of over two million stuck tightly to Lin Yuan's gravity barrier.

This sly fox was incredibly cunning, having his undead army form a tortoise shell formation, specifically blocking the blind spots that Lin Yuan's defensive line couldn't cover.

While freeloading off the defense, he conveniently gathered up the remnants of the Resentful Eyes shattered by the Demon Vultures.

"Brother, steady!" Bai Ye gave Lin Yuan a thumbs up while directing his skeleton soldiers to scavenge.

Lin Yuan couldn't be bothered to pay him any mind.

As they continued to descend, the number of surrounding deep blue Resentful Eyes began to decrease.

The darkness gradually receded, and the scene at the bottom of the pit finally revealed itself to everyone.

It was an unimaginably massive inverted pyramid structure.

The pyramid was crafted entirely from an unknown dark red metal, suspended upside down in the Void Realm at the bottom of the pit.

The surface of the tower was covered with complex and eerie Abyssal magic patterns, which were slowly wriggling.

At the very top, which was also the widest platform of the inverted pyramid.

A pitch-black heart was tightly locked by dozens of thick metal pipes.

The pipes connected to the entire planet's ley lines, drawing energy and transporting it into the heart.

Thump! Thump!

Each beat of the heart created a visible ripple in space.

"[Abyss Core Source]!"

The breathing of all the Prodigies became heavy.

This was the final goal of the midterm exam!

Destroying it would not only end this cruel exam but also earn an inestimable amount of military merit points.

But no one dared to act rashly.

Because at the four corners of the inverted pyramid stood four giant stone statues, each a hundred meters tall.

The four stone statues had their eyes tightly shut, their surfaces covered in cracks from the passage of time, remaining motionless.

But the aura emanating from them made all the Prodigies present feel a sense of palpitation.

It was a suppression of status that transcended Platinum and conventional cognition.

Peak Diamond Tier! And there were four of them!

The Allied Forces landed.

The twenty-million-strong army stepped onto the dark red metal ground surrounding the inverted pyramid, creating a thumping sound.

Just as they landed, the four stone statues opened their eyes simultaneously.

Boom!

Four distinct yet equally terrifying Peak Diamond Tier auras became a tangible tsunami, sweeping directly across the entire field.

The gravity field solidified, and the air was drained away.

Everyone's dependents paused in their movements, trapped in a viscous quagmire.

Hundreds of thousands of low-tier skeleton soldiers on the periphery of Bai Ye's army were shattered into bone powder under this pressure.

Even the dark gold fluid on the surface of Lin Yuan's Titan Violent Demons slowed its flow.

Outside, in the observation room of the Demon Suppression Fortress.

The hall, which had been slightly relaxed due to the Allied Forces' advance, fell into a peculiar atmosphere of mixed gravity and anticipation.

On the big screen, the aura emitted by the four Peak Diamond Tier stone statues couldn't truly harm the True Gods present through the screen, but it was enough for them to see the severity of the situation.

"Peak Diamond Tier Law constructs..." The Li family Elder stroked his beard, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

"For a group of juniors still in high school, this test is quite intense."

"It's not just as simple as Diamond Tier." The Elder of the Star Spirit family frowned, staring at the beating heart on the screen.

"The energy source of those four stone statues is connected to the ley lines of the entire Demon God Planet!"

"As long as the Demon God's will remains, they possess near-infinite recovery abilities."

"General Chen, what are the Law readings?" Director Qian played with two Divine Power walnuts in his hand. "I'm not heartbroken over my tens of thousands of dragons; I'm worried..."

"Could the awakening of these four stone statues be a countdown to the full awakening of that Demon God?"

Diamond Tier stone statues were nothing more than slightly larger ants in the eyes of these True Gods.

But the lower Demon God behind those ants was the Sword of Damocles hanging over everyone's heads.

Patriarch Xiao Tiannan sat in the main seat, his face as dark as water.

He watched the Lion Dragon King on the screen, its movements sluggish under the suppression, and clenched his hands slightly:

"This is no longer a simple midterm exam. Crossing tiers to face Peak Diamond, while also enduring the Law overflow from a Demon God that could awaken at any moment..."

"One slight misstep, and it will be total annihilation."

Lieutenant General Deputy Commander Chen Tie stared at the various data points and turned to look at Commander Xiao Lie.

Commander Xiao Lie remained seated on the sofa, his posture upright, his gaze sharp.

Facing the subtle worries of the big shots, Commander Xiao Lie let out a cold snort.

"What are you panicking about?" Commander Xiao Lie's voice was resonant and powerful, drowning out the low murmurs in the room. "The stone statues are just inanimate objects, and the Demon God Law they are borrowing is also incomplete."

"If they can't even smash a few guard dogs, what right do they have to face the true Abyss?"

"Commander Xiao, that's not the right way to put it." The White family Elder spoke up, bracing himself. "These are four Diamond Tiers; the Law suppression is too severe."

"If the Demon God's will wakes up at this moment and interferes..."

Commander Xiao Lie glanced at him coldly and interrupted directly.

"I said it already, the Spark Legion is on standby. As long as the Core Source isn't broken and the Demon God hasn't truly opened its eyes."

"Or they haven't actively crushed their amulets, no one is allowed to interfere!"

Commander Xiao Lie's toughness made the family big shots shut their mouths.

They turned their gazes back to the screen.

As True Gods, they knew that towering trees couldn't be raised in a greenhouse. But seeing their own core Bloodlines about to fight under the pressure of Diamond Tier and the shadow of a Demon God.

That contradictory psychology of both hoping the juniors would defy the heavens and fearing that the Abyss would change.

Made the atmosphere in the entire observation room extremely complex.

At the bottom of the pit, in front of the inverted pyramid.

The four stone statues fully awakened.

They represented the four extreme Abyssal Laws of Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire, respectively.

The Fire-type stone statue in the east ignited with pitch-black Hellfire, turning into a vacuum combustion zone.

The Water-type stone statue in the south oozed black heavy water from its body; every drop of heavy water that fell smashed a deep pit into the metal ground.

The Wind-type stone statue in the west had cyan gale winds blowing around it; any matter touched by the gale was directly pulverized into an atomic state.

The Earth-type stone statue in the north was the most massive; it pulled out the giant stone pillar inserted into the ground, and the earth trembled wildly in response.

No nonsense, no testing.

The four stone statues took their strides and launched an indiscriminate clearing against the Allied Forces that had intruded into this place.

"Stop it!" Murong Bai stood on top of the Behemoth beast, his eyes blood-red.

The Earth-type stone statue closest to him had already raised its giant stone pillar.

Ten of the largest Platinum Tier heavy-armored Behemoths roared, brandished their totem pillars, and charged forward to meet the stone statue's attack.

The Behemoth race's greatest pride was their strength and Physical Body.

Bang!

The stone pillar collided with the totem pillars.

There was no stalemate.

The arm bones of the ten Platinum Tier Behemoth beasts shattered on the spot, and their bodies were smashed away, crashing into the distant metal cliff wall.

They spat out mouthfuls of blood mixed with internal organ fragments; it was clear they wouldn't survive.

With just a casual strike, the Earth-type stone statue disabled ten of Murong Bai's core elites.

Murong Bai's expression changed; he understood that fighting alone in front of these four monsters was equivalent to seeking death.

"We can't fight them head-on! The tier gap is too large, and the Law suppression is completely on a different level!"

Chu Yunxuan shouted from the rear, his mechanical army retreating, attempting to create distance.

"Scatter! Contain them separately!" Su Yueying hovered in mid-air.

Six wings bloomed with dazzling Holy Light behind her, forcibly opening up an area unaffected by the pressure.

She quickly observed the battle situation and made a judgment.

"The energy source of these four stone statues is that heart! They share the energy supply from the Core Source; as long as the energy is not interrupted, they are immortal!"

Su Yueying pointed her sword at the giant heart at the top of the inverted pyramid.

"Someone must go and destroy the energy transmission pipes of the Core Source! Cut off the supply."
