The Cockroach-like Girl Is My Beast

Chapter 835: Chapter 542: Power Like the River’s Tide! A Thousand Techniques in a Single Strike! (Part 2)

A massive military fortress that resembled a sprawling steel giant beast.

In this icy cold world, the stretched horizon was packed with endless hordes of the Demon Race, as if tireless, crashing against everything like waves.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!

The fortress’s walls towered a kilometer high, made entirely of a special Spirit Gold that could absorb energy impacts, exhibiting a bright red hue filled with Ether.

A gigantic crimson air defense array intermittently appeared above the fortress, striking down countless attacks falling from the sky.

The Fire Division’s Spirit Rune Array covering the entire fortress continuously shimmered, spewing forth multi-colored flames. Those Low Tier demons approaching through the wind and snow would turn to ashes upon charging.

However, there were also demons attacking from afar, utilizing Demonic Qi as their energy in the sky.

Fortunately, beyond the passive defense of the array, the military’s elites also launched active assaults, dominating the battlefield and eliminating those threatening demons.

In the sky, colorful figures navigated the battlefield, freely unleashing Mystical Techniques.

The High Tier demons, using waves of Low Tier demons as cover, occasionally revealed themselves to engage in battle with the military’s elites.

Using this massive Spirit Rune Array guarding the Boundary Wall passage as the battle line, both armies clashed, grinding each other’s forces like a meat grinder.

The soldiers and Spirit Beasts controlling various array modules on the walls displayed no excess emotion on their faces, only the cold and hardened determination forged in the heat of battle.

At this moment.

At the very center of the fortress.

In the core hub of the entire Spirit Rune Array, the source of energy.

A burly man in a Great Xia general’s uniform slowly approached a large metal door.

The eighth Deputy Corps Commander, Junior General Changsun Wu.

This resolute Fire Division Junior General made no movements, but merely a flash of True Intent in his eyes caused the door to begin opening slowly.

A heatwave surged forward, and he stepped inside without hesitation.

Behind the door stretched a long corridor, filled with rune-like patterns flowing like magma.

With every step, the temperature inside the corridor increased rapidly.

One hundred degrees... two hundred degrees...

However, this was just the beginning.

In the second corridor layer, the temperature rose to three thousand degrees, filled with a blazing red light.

From the third layer onward, apart from the door, there were no physical structures to step on. Traversing it required flying, akin to swimming in magma, as tens of thousands of degrees of frenzied Ether crashed and pressed against his body.

Even as he was at his Six-Star Peak, with his Contractual Partner in the Sea of Spirit, he had already deployed a bright silver shield over his body upon reaching this place.

With every door he passed through, the previous one would close, locking the energy and temperature firmly inside.

It was as if he was diving into the earth’s core step by step. Changsun Wu continued descending until he finally reached the center of the Spirit Rune’s core.

There was an immense ball of flame wrapped within endlessly hot spiritual patterns.

The next moment, Changsun Wu aimed directly at the fireball and spoke loudly:

"Reporting!"

"What is it?"

In an instant, a majestic voice, capable of melting steel, emanated from within the fireball.

Accompanying the voice, two intense gazes pierced through the massive fireball, looking at Changsun Wu from within.

Those were two pairs of eyes burning with a golden conflagration, like molten gold.

— Under only the Celestial King Heng, the Fire Division’s two major Marshals.

An Eight-star Giant.

The virile [Emperor of Flame] Xiao Yan, and his contractual partner, the Tier Eight Divine Beast [Fire Deity Lin].

"Sir!"

Changsun Wu stood firm, producing a crimson crystal and several Storage Rings.

"The improved grand array specially supplied by the Thunder Division in cooperation with the Jade Capital for the Snow Ridge Province’s Outer Battlefield has arrived."

"It is named [Red Lotus: Hell Suppression]."

"Oh?"

An interested light flashed in those fiery eyes, and a fiery serpent coiled around the crystal and rings in Changsun Wu’s hand.

The information was instantly read, and the colossal fireball fluctuated abruptly like a blazing sun.

It wasn’t just due to the powerful function of the array, but also because of the message left by another Giant of the Thunder Division within.

The primary inspiration for the array actually came from...

A student?

"Hmm?!"

Xiao Yan’s intrigued voice rang out.

"This grand array..."

Changsun Wu continued to report:

"The new [Red Lotus: Hell Suppression] composite Spirit Rune Array maintains ninety-five percent of its original defense power, while its energy consumption has decreased by fourteen percent. Its efficiency in autonomously purifying Demonic Qi corrosion has increased by over thirty percent."

"Hehe..."

Upon hearing these results, the one man and one beast within the massive fireball couldn’t help but laugh.

"That old fellow Li Jiatu has indeed... invested in an extraordinary little kid this time."

He certainly knew of Lin Guang, as the recent Fenghai Province’s four division’s gaze, the Fire Division’s envoy, was sent by Lin Guang.

However, with the busy war efforts lately, he hadn’t had the energy to focus on internal affairs, not expecting such a pleasant surprise without a word.

It seemed like just a few months’ absence had stretched into years.

"This generation truly is... remarkable one after another."

"The talent of a Celestial King is undoubtedly fitting."

With that sigh, the fireball, akin to a sun, began to radiate immense light and heat.

Instantly, within the array core’s space, Ether and Spiritual Power both began to stir. Those incredibly complex Spirit Runes rapidly redirected, transforming into a more efficient form and swiftly spreading outward.
