Chapter 592: Chapter 283: The Plot Revealed, the Dagger Unsheathed
In the distant land, blood demons surged toward the base like a tide, their crimson figures resembling a sea of blood that devoured everything. Wherever they passed, the city wall collapsed with a thunderous boom, dust and rubble swirling in the fierce wind, as if the world itself trembled.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The minefield set up at the mountain entrance was triggered, and the explosive flames tore the blood demons into pieces, splattering sticky plasma everywhere. However, the number of blood demons was overwhelmingly large, and before the bodies blown into the air could hit the ground, the blood demons behind were already trampling over the remnants of their fallen companions, pressing forward.
The automatic turrets spat tongues of fire at maximum power, even as the barrels glowed red-hot, never pausing. The dense rain of bullets tore the blood demons at the forefront into bloody shreds, yet it was utterly incapable of halting their advance!
Once the timing for the decisive battle was confirmed, these blood demons ceased to consider losses and consumption, surging forward with maximum numbers. Hundreds of millions of blood demons relied on their formidable life force to forcefully tear through the defense line constructed by the barrage of firepower!
"It’s only been a quarter of an hour... It seems our wager is about to reach a conclusion," Meng Xuanshu stroked the ring on his hand, his eyes looked toward the distant battlefield, yet his sidelong glance never left Chu Xiu, "By the way, may I ask how to address you, my friend?"
"You and I are both disciples of a higher existence, although we are adversaries now, there might be opportunities for cooperation in the future."
Chu Xiu glanced at him, responding indifferently, "Qin Yu."
"I am Meng Xuanshu, from the Celestial Derivation Civilization."
"Mm."
Chu Xiu seemed uninterested in small talk with Meng Xuanshu; after a few casual words, he simply closed his eyes and no longer paid attention to the distant battlefield situation.
At this moment, he was reconstructing his body using the life force of the Heaven-Reaching Blood Vine.
Previously, although he had directly sacrificed all his physical form to trigger Void God Mode, the actual battle had not yet commenced, and the core power wasn’t consumed. Reconstructing a body using the stored power of the Heaven-Reaching Blood Vine was not difficult.
Simply put, like the blood demons, as long as the Blood Demon Core existed, restoring the physical form was merely a matter of energy consumption.
This was the main reason he agreed to the other party’s arrangement—fighting hard with Void God Mode would result in too much loss!
And now, as the last thread of life force flowed into his body, Chu Xiu’s physical form was completely reconstructed. Although his state wasn’t optimal, it was still seventy percent of what it was before, and most importantly, the core states such as his divine soul and essence blood, which were extremely hard to restore, remained undiminished.
Moreover...
Chu Xiu glanced into the distance. With no other Civilization Envoys posing threats, the ghosts used to protect civilians gradually returned to the Soul Banner. Now, if a battle were to break out again, with the Ghostly Legion present, he wouldn’t be as helpless against the opponent’s bizarre tactics as before.
Of course, Chu Xiu had his own plans, and the opponent undoubtedly had his as well.
"If I’m not mistaken, this guy definitely thinks my Void God Mode is some kind of ’decisive battle skill’ that overextends the body, aiming to drag out this period."
"He simply didn’t expect that the wonders of Void God Mode exceeded his predictions, allowing me to use this opportunity to restore my body."
Meng Xuanshu’s face revealed no discernible expression, but Chu Xiu could sense that the opponent was quite displeased.
With a slight smile, Chu Xiu suddenly dashed toward the distance, simultaneously activating the Qi Concealing Technique and Thought Overwrite!
In no time, he vanished from Meng Xuanshu’s sight.
This sight made Meng Xuanshu furrow his brows slightly.
Of course he understood Chu Xiu’s intention, which was nothing more than escaping his lock-on to avoid his divine technique attacks.
"It seems you’ve long planned to tear up the agreement and fight!" Meng Xuanshu quickly made a judgment.
However...
"Does this have any purpose?"
Meng Xuanshu looked afar, where at least ten thousand blood demon minions had charged into the mountain, the vanguard almost reaching the shelter’s gates.
By then, Chu Xiu would inevitably take action, and his position would be revealed—surely he wouldn’t just watch the seeds of civilization being slaughtered, right?
"Could it be..."
"Does he really think humanity here can hold this place?"
Just as this thought rose, suddenly a roar like that of a giant dragon rumbled from afar!
Meng Xuanshu looked down, seeing the blood demons frantically surge into the distant passageway, filling it so densely there seemed to be no space at all.
Yet at this moment, the surrounding rock walls suddenly opened up, revealing rows of dark gun barrels. High-pressure flamethrowers abruptly activated, and with a piercing mechanical roar, scorching torrents spewed forth like molten lava!
In an instant, the entire road turned into a blazing sea of fire, the fierce flames consuming everything. The blood demons’ howling was completely drowned out by the roar of flames, the surging blaze not only engulfed the entire path but also stormed out of the mountain like a fiery dragon!
The acrid stench of burning and ink-like black smoke rose, the once-scarlet figures twisted and writhed in the fire, eventually turning to ashes.
The narrow space, combined with the flamethrowers infused with the Vermilion Bird Power that Chu Xiu had improved, caused the temperature inside the passageway to suddenly soar beyond three thousand degrees Celsius! The tens of thousands of blood demons pouring in, perished within mere breaths!
Meanwhile, atop the mountain, the Titan giant mechanism had fully awakened! The vast cannon base, constructed along the mountainside, no longer concealed its presence after the intense charge of blood demons, fully showcasing its true power!
Thousands of cannons roared in unison, the flames from their barrels burst forth like bolts of lightning, shaking the mountains slightly with their power. The electromagnetic cannon continued its relentless firing, countless shells tearing through the sky like meteors, plunging with overwhelming energy into the horde of blood demons.
