Chapter 504: Chapter 353 Battle Begins
The crimson firmament gradually dissipated, leaving Ningshou City like a fallen ruin, with collapsed high-rise buildings everywhere, broken concrete slabs and rocks nearly filling the streets, and old cars scattered about alongside the mutilated corpses of Lizardmen.
Now, there was no trace of any living being’s presence left in Ningshou City; the one hundred thousand survivors had been successfully evacuated by Zhu Xiong and his people.
Although in the process of the rescue, some casualties were inevitable due to the Lizardmen, the majority of the survivors had been relocated to temporary camps under the aid of the Tree Domain warriors and were then continuously moved to Shanjiang City for settlement and assistance.
Within Ningshou City, the Pioneer Troops and the arriving City Defense Troops had completed a thorough search within a few hours, cleared out the monsters, and had begun setting up the battlefield.
A large number of bombs were placed within Ningshou City, and the heavy artillery camps of both the Pioneer Troops and the City Defense Troops had been set up on the hillsides outside Ningshou City.

The Southwest Military Preparedness Force also unified dispatch, placing missile launch vehicles on the heavy artillery grounds, aiming towards the outskirts of Ningshou City.
...
Unlike the other five Armed Forces bases, this time the Southwest Military Preparedness Force was not at the center of the storm.
The Star Torch of the Southwest Military Preparedness Force had already been ignited, this time it was only the two smaller Star Torches in Tang City and Sanjiang City that were lit, forming a matrix with the large Star Torch at Wushan Base.
Their energy convergence was destined not to be dazzling, nor would it attract a multitude of monsters.
For this reason, Qin Henghu did not call Lone Wolf back for assistance in defense, and instead left him here.
As a result, nearly one hundred thousand troops from the Southwest Military Preparedness Force and the Tree Domain Troops had gathered around Ningshou City.
The defensive positions were fortified, and the engineering and construction teams had quickly built high walls around the terrain in a short time.
Everyone was ready for battle, watching the direction of Ningshou City intently.
In the ruins of Ningshou City, Su Han stood alone on the main street with the Queen of Insect Tans, his consciousness now connected to the main Star Torches of South City, Huiyuan City, and Hengchuan City.
Mental energy and Spiritual Energy flowed unceasingly into these three Star Torches, making them increasingly bright.
Above the skies of Ningshou City, the power of the Star Torch was deliberately drawn by Su Han, gradually forming a purplish-red energy sphere above the city, similar to the sun.
‘Fenglu, East Sea, Mo City, Kakta… have they all started?’
Su Han’s gaze flickered slightly, then he hovered up and landed on the head of the Queen of Insect Tans, activating the authority of the Great Demon of the Blood Sea Space.
It was as if he had entered the Spiritual World, his authority further disrupting space, scrambling the signals outside of Ningshou City to some extent.
In the Spiritual World, as Master of the Star Torch, Su Han’s authority was activated, and he seemed to be in an endless red cosmos, looking far into the distance, where the points of light belonging to the Star Torch gradually brightened.
‘Converge.’
With a single thought from Su Han, these points of light, which were meant to shine like stars, suddenly emitted slivers of faint light, swiftly converging towards that light point behind him through a special connection.
One shined brightly, and all other stars dimmed!
That bright point behind Su Han became even more dazzling, and then gradually transformed into an ancient tree radiating purple light, its branches spreading across the firmament.
…
At Fenglu Base, Li Wenyuan donned his military garb for the first time in ages, wearing alloy armor, and holding a Spiritual Energy metal spear, standing atop the wall of Fenglu Base.
His gaze was piercing as the Star Torch Tree within the city emanated a glow, with energy continually gathering.
The light from the Star Torch Tree flickered suddenly, and Li Wenyuan’s eyes narrowed as he thought, ‘It has begun.’
The flickering light was naturally the work of Su Han.
He and the other psychics immediately held their breath and watched intently, increasing the injection of mental energy, causing the Energy Level to surge in an instant.
“Roar”
A low beastly roar sounded, like the roar of a demon from the abyss. A rift in interdimensional space appeared in the sky, almost invisible at first, ripping apart the fabric of space and becoming more substantial, then expanding incessantly.
Pale, bony giant hands began to reach out from the rift, revealing the ferocious visage of demons within.
“Hmph, prepare the missiles; send these demons back where they came from.”
As Li Wenyuan’s voice fell, missiles were launched towards the rift outside the city, and mushroom clouds rose up, engulfing the interdimensional fissure.
…
At East Sea City Base, Sea Beasts surged upon the dyke, swarming towards East Sea City Base. A rift in interdimensional space appeared in the sky, and a Vine Demon, covered in vines, squeezed out. Monster carcasses hung on its tendrils, and it advanced step by step towards East Sea City Base.
“Someone else is bearing the brunt of the main battle, but we cannot afford to lose face in this smaller skirmish, fight to the death without retreat!”
“Fight to the death without retreat!”
The shouts and roars from East Sea City Base overcame the howling of the beasts as Liu Rulong underwent a Spiritual Dragon Transformation, turning into a half-dragon man creature ten meters tall, with bulging muscles, Spiritual Energy attached to his body, black scales unfurling, and eyes as red as fire as he charged directly into the horde of monsters, engaging in fierce battle with a Fourth-Order Vine Demon.
Mecha vansuit after vansuit of Spiritual Energy fired at the monster horde, and Sea Beast Gene warriors assembled and burst into the monsters’ flanks to disrupt and behead.
…
“Missile coverage!”
At Lingzhou Base, Ouyang Qing’s eyes remained cool and steady as she watched monsters continuously pour out from two interdimensional rifts and ruthlessly initiated a missile barrage.
