188: Chapter 188 One Man Forms an Army!

Lu Yin's voice echoed in the conference hall, carrying a composure and decisiveness that transcended his age.

He looked around the room and continued.

“Di Gulov's power is indeed unfathomable.”

“However, the reason Abyssal Demons are so strong is precisely because the Abyssal Power provides them with a massive boost.”

“But as long as they dare to leave the Abyssal Passage, their strength will inevitably be greatly discounted.”

“At that time, we can try to cut off the power output within the Abyssal Passage to further diminish their strength.”

“Cut off the power output of the Abyssal Passage?”

In the conference room, many big shots looked at each other; this idea was too bold.

The Abyssal Passage was a spatial rift connecting two worlds, and the Abyssal Power contained within was as vast as the sea. Was that something human strength could easily cut off?

Furthermore, as the source of power for the Abyssal Demons, it would certainly be heavily guarded.

If the human race launched a large-scale attack, it would surely provoke a violent resistance from the demons, which might even lead to the opposite of the desired effect.

But if a single unit were used for a sneak attack, it would be difficult to find someone capable of the task.

Lu Yin's words plunged the entire conference room into a brief silence.

Cutting off the energy supply of the Abyssal Passage seemed like a crazy idea, yet it caused a glimmer of contemplation to flash in the eyes of several senior experts.

“It's theoretically feasible.”

Chen Qingtian, the Commander-in-Chief of the Northern War Zone, was the first to break the silence, drawing an arc on the holographic map with his fingertip.

“The essence of the Abyssal Passage is a spatial rift, and its stability depends on the convergence of Abyssal Power at the nodes.”

“If we can destroy the key nodes, it is indeed possible to interrupt the energy transmission.”

He pulled up archival data from three thousand years ago, and a complex energy network diagram appeared in the air.

“But the problem is, the nodes are located deep within the passage, and there are high-level demons guarding the way.”

“Unless... there is an all-around squad of the Third Awakening or higher that can infiltrate the core area.”

“But if we do that, our frontal combat strength will be slightly insufficient, which might lead to us being unable to withstand the frontal assault.”

There was another brief silence; clearly, no one felt they were up to this difficult task.

“I'll go. I alone am enough.”

Right then, Lu Yin spoke up calmly.

“You alone?”

A chorus of sharp intakes of breath sounded in the conference room.

Even Qin Zhan and Zhao Qianjun, who had some understanding of Lu Yin's strength, couldn't help but frown at this moment.

“Lu Yin, this is not the time to show off.”

Bai Zhengyuan also spoke in a heavy voice at this time.

“The environment deep within the Abyssal Passage is treacherous, and the energy turbulence is enough to tear apart ordinary Awakened, not to mention the high-level demons under Di Gulov's command guarding it.”

“If you go alone, how is it different from seeking death?”

“Precisely because it is dangerous, many people cannot go.”

Lu Yin's gaze was calm, yet it carried an unquestionable firmness.

“Too many people make a large target and are easily exposed.”

“As for me, I can be a one-man army...”

As Lu Yin's voice fell, a layer of frost seemed to congeal in the air.

“A one-man army?”

Bai Zhengyuan's brow was tightly furrowed, and he was about to speak in rebuttal when he saw Lu Yin slowly raise his right hand.

In an instant, hundreds of pitch-black magic circles appeared within the originally spacious conference room.

One death creature after another crawled out from the magic circles, each one emitting a terrifying and ferocious power.

What was even more heart-stopping was that these death creatures moved in an orderly fashion, quickly forming a battle formation and faintly emitting a suffocating pressure.

“This is...”

Everyone's pupils shrank; they had naturally seen summoning-type classes before.

Over a hundred Awakening Level experts were now as if frozen by a binding spell, staring in shock at this army of death that had appeared out of thin air before them.

A thick aura of death spread out, forming a bizarre and intense contrast with the originally solemn and dignified atmosphere of the conference room.

Luo Xiu and Lin Xiao stood at the very front of the undead army. Although they had been converted into undead forms, their powerful aura from when they were alive had increased rather than decreased.

Luo Xiu's crimson pupils swept across the room, carrying a heart-palpitating coldness.

The god slaying sword in Lin Xiao's hand hung low, its blade wrapped in a faint black death energy.

“This, this is...”

The Commander-in-Chief of the Western War Zone suddenly stood up, pointing at Luo Xiu's figure, his voice trembling with disbelief.

“Isn't that the hero who sacrificed himself three thousand years ago, General Luo Xiu?”

“And the one beside him... is the Undying Sword God, Lin Xiao!”

These words were like a giant boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up a thousand waves.

“It really is them! The two human heroes recorded in the ancient texts!”

“Haven't they already died in battle? Could it be Lu Yin—he can actually summon deceased heroes to fight...”

The conference room was in an uproar. Except for those close to him who knew some of Lu Yin's background, all the experts found it difficult to hide their shock.

While everyone was in a state of horror, Lu Yin's voice rang out again, calm but with an unquestionable power.

“Everyone, give me half a month, and I can build an even stronger Death Legion.”

“Therefore, no matter how difficult the mission, I will certainly complete it.”

Lu Yin's words and the appearance of Luo Xiu and Lin Xiao were like a shot of adrenaline, making everyone feel bursts of peace of mind.

After a brief silence, Qin Zhan slowly stood up, his gaze sweeping across the room before finally settling on Lu Yin.

“Good! Since you have such confidence, on behalf of the Heavenly Dynasty Alliance, I officially approve your plan.”

His voice was steady, yet carried a decisive power that brooked no argument.

“But remember, your safety is equally important. If the task is impossible, retreat immediately, and we will find another way.”

Lu Yin nodded slightly: “Understood.”

“In that case, we need to readjust our operational deployment.”

Qin Zhan turned to the holographic projection, his finger sliding over the 3D model of the Abyssal Passage.

“I will personally oversee the frontal battlefield, and the Commanders-in-Chief of the four major war zones will each lead their own elites to construct four lines of defense around the perimeter of the passage.”

“Holy Hall Academy will be responsible for logistical support and the treatment of the wounded, while also activating all defensive matrices to ensure that we weaken the demon army to the greatest extent possible when they rush out of the passage.”

Orders were issued one by one in an orderly fashion, and the entire Heavenly Dynasty Alliance began to operate at high speed like a precision-engineered war machine.

After the meeting ended, Lu Yin did not linger and left the Alliance headquarters directly.

He needed to increase his strength as much as possible within these two weeks.

Xiao Wanguo watched Lu Yin's departing back, a flash of complexity in his eyes.

“Old Xiao, do you think this kid can succeed?”

Zhao Qianjun appeared beside him at some point, also looking in the direction Lu Yin had gone.

“I don't know.” Xiao Wanguo shook his head gently: “But I do know that he is our only hope.”

“Yeah...” Zhao Qianjun let out a long sigh.

“Three thousand years ago, the two seniors, Luo Xiu and Lin Xiao, fought for the human race until their last moments.”

“Three thousand years later, they have returned in this manner. Perhaps... this is the will of heaven.”

“Alright, I'm off. If our teacher can come out of seclusion this time, our chances of winning might be even greater.”
