Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 1432 731_2

Once a large number of new overlords emerge in the human camp within a short period of time...

Heh heh... Damn it, let me show you what firepower coverage really means!

The last civilization curse will disappear?

Then what will open is a grand escape of civilizations! Aliens flee, humans slay!

Almost all the current crises the world faces, aliens, wanderers, chaotic forces, seem to be approaching the dawn of complete resolution!

The value of knowledge lies in its application, and what Xia Ming is contemplating now is how to transform the potential threats and opportunities brought by the 'outsider' into the most crucial lever for the survival and rise of human civilization.

This is what a scholar should consider. In fact, if it weren't for his exceptionally strong talent, he would genuinely want to stay in the White Stone City's research institute, unraveling the truth of this world!

However, in the next moment, his glasses flickered.

In the distance, the black tide surged, and an unfamiliar force seemed to be spreading.

Xia Ming squinted his eyes, his gaze instantly traversing the entire bloodstained battlefield, precisely locking onto the source of the power.

It was an area deep within the Night Demon army formation.

There, a bizarre force, as if capable of accelerating the passage of time, was spreading. Some Beastman Warriors, who had fortunately survived and were struggling to flee amidst defeat, came into slight contact with that invisible force and began to age rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Their muscles shrank, skin wrinkled and mottled with corpse spots, strong bodies hunched over... until finally, amidst a few desperate wails, they collapsed completely into piles of ashen bones, scattered on the ground!

And this was merely the beginning!

Almost simultaneously, in that area's soil, several grotesque, twisted creations, a mix of plant and flesh, were madly flourishing at an unprecedented pace!

Within just a few breaths, they went through the entire process of sprouting, budding, and leafing! However, what they grew were not ordinary branches and leaves, but writhing, flesh-covered blood tissues and thorn-laden black vines covered in viscous liquid!

These terrifying biomasses, as if possessing life, quickly multiplied, entwined, and shaped themselves before ultimately becoming humanoid monsters clad in biological armor!

These foul-smelling humanoid monsters sprayed with scents of blood and decay, sprang up from the battlefield instantaneously under Xia Ming's watchful eye, joining the Night Demon's ranks!

Xia Ming's pupils suddenly constricted, and for the first time, a look of disbelief crossed his usually calm face!

"Is this... accelerated growth? No... it's a fusion of time manipulation and biological alchemy?" he gasped: "How could the Night Demon possess such high-level technology? This is definitely not a product of this world!"

It's those 'outsiders'!

They brought along terrifying technologies from another world, enough to overturn the existing rules of warfare!

Damn it, I really want to study them!

Xia Ming stood up, Hao Feng also had a grave expression.

They even sensed a trace of divinity on those twelve Thorn Giants? Great Divine Power? No, but there is divinity!

That's already beyond what other warriors could contend against!

Even with just a trace of divinity, it comes at a great cost to the warriors.

...

And elsewhere, the Night Demon King watched the giants that had sprung to life instantly, each towering about ten meters in height. Thorns and vines formed their armor, and they wielded golden thorn weapons in their hands.

And each giant gave him a sense of danger. Because they bore divinity!

This divinity did not originate from a miracle but was bestowed by a terrifying existence from within the Void Realm!

This caused the Night Demon King to shudder with fear, and he subconsciously glanced at Zefi and Zel beside him. Since his trusted aides were occupied by these two 'outsiders', the world seemed to have changed.

The dangerous and terrifying wanderers became the most loyal warriors, obeying the Night Demon Officer's orders.

And in the Void Realm, there was an even more powerful existence, personally bestowing blessings, allowing this mind-boggling power to bloom!

"What on earth is this..." The Night Demon King's gaze towards Zel and Zefi grew increasingly grave and fearful.

"King Guards, the Initial King's Guards. The magnificent First King, to commemorate his past guards, crafted these King Guard embryos," Zel replied with a smile, "Under the First King's watch, they are invincible!"

Everything is unfolding as planned. After generations of refinement, the atavistic bloodline has indeed shaped the 'First King' in this world!

And with the First King's descent into the Void Realm, those King Guard embryos that had been dormant for years finally found their battlefield!

With the catalyzation from the Sea of Time, the embryos instantly matured into King Guards, and under the First King's gaze, they gained a touch more divinity.

Although vastly inferior compared to the Spiritual Ability Users, their divinity makes them resilient and formidable! They are the most handy tools of war!

Meanwhile, with the resurgence of the First King, the bloodline of the First King within Zel and Zefi was activated again and surged anew, releasing dormant powers like a thawing river, boosting their strength significantly once more within a short time!

Even if they were to leave this world immediately, their trip was already a guaranteed profit.

But that's not enough... their craving doesn't end here!

"The biggest prize is yet to be seized! By destroying human civilization and fulfilling this 'world's' will, we shall receive the most generous rewards!" Zel laughed heartily, "The first battle is the decisive battle! We will force our way into their heartland!"

"King Guards, charge! Under the First King's gaze, charge!"

With his command given, the chants of the Initial King Guards echoed like thunder!

The next moment, they moved their giant, pillar-like legs, starting to charge forward! Their heavy footsteps made the earth tremble, as if they were moving, terrifying fortresses!

They ignored the dense wanderer legions ahead, crashing into and rolling over them! Anything standing in their path of advancement, whether friend or foe, was mercilessly trampled to pieces!

Their speed increased, becoming an unstoppable iron tide, launching a devastating charge towards the teetering first line of defense at Wanfeng City!

Meanwhile, at the forefront of the line, at the fortress defending it, the warriors of Wanfeng City and White Stone City had serious expressions, gripping their weapons tightly, with sweat dripping.

As the King Guards entered range, countless artillery fired in unison, shells whistling through the night sky, bursting into fireballs in the darkness.

However, the King Guards charged through flames and smoke, advancing once more with unstoppable momentum!

Xia Ming and Hao Feng had already reached the front line of the battlefield.

"Deploying Great Divine Power right from the start, truly troublesome..." Hao Feng remarked as he observed the approaching King Guards, his war axe and shield clashing once.

Xia Ming calmly said, "In a war of life and death, it's not about craftiness. But, I do hope to capture one for research."

"Survive first, Lord Bai Shi..."

All elite warriors stood ready in formation.

However, at a certain moment, their expressions suddenly changed.

Because a voice suddenly arose from afar, like a war song.

It seemed to ring in their hearts, like a fluttering battle banner.

Flapping loudly!

(Wait)

Meanwhile, on the front line, at the fortress defending it, the warriors of Wanfeng City and White Stone City had serious expressions, gripping their weapons tightly, with sweat dripping.
