A massive horde of monsters surged against the walls like a tide. If not for the fact that the opening from the demon's lair was too small, the monsters pouring out from it would have long breached the "dike."
When the automatic weapons' firepower beca insufficient, and the monsters breached the hundred-ter fire line, missiles rained down from the sky, utterly obliterating large swathes of them.
Only a few scattered monsters managed to break through the fire line and approached the walls.
A few larger monsters, braving the attacks, neared the walls. Realizing that dispelling bullets were ineffective against these monsters, Lu Yu knew it was ti for him to act.
The Celestial Falling Bright Fla gathered in his palm, and a golden beam shot out, striking the monster but not piercing through its body, instead setting it ablaze.
Golden flas roared on the battlefield, and several monsters perished screaming within the fire.
The others lacked Lu Yu's formidable strength. They relied on weapons crafted by the logistics division of the Divine Soldiers Group to stall the stronger monsters, giving snipers a chance to lock onto the monsters and shoot dispelling bullets into their bodies.
Just delaying the monsters, whose speed far surpassed that of ordinary humans, for a mont ant they would be enveloped by countless dispelling bullets.
The role of the players was more supportive, preventing monsters from getting close and slaughtering soldiers with their extraordinary strength and speed. The primary force in annihilating the monsters was still technological weaponry.
Buzz~
Suddenly, all the descending missiles halted mid-air, turning into duds that clinked and clanked as they fell to the ground.
A gigantic monster appeared on the battlefield, its upper body human-like, with sharp tentacles as its lower half. This was the demon lair's advanced combat weapon—Slaughterer.
The Slaughterer rendered the battlefield's missiles into duds.
Li Lifeng faced the Slaughterer, his expression grave. This monster's strength was formidable.
After the Slaughterer erged from the demon cave, the cave stopped spewing monsters, and it took a while before new monsters ca out, indicating the lair's production rate had clearly slowed.
It seed that transporting the Slaughterer from the other side wasn't easy.
The Slaughterer's crimson eyes locked onto Li Lifeng as its sharp tentacles rapidly extended toward him.
Li Lifeng gripped a long spear ford by spiritual power in his right hand and parried the Slaughterer's tentacles. Despite the hundreds of tentacles, they couldn't breach his defense.
His spear skills had reached an unrivaled level; sheer numbers couldn't penetrate his defense.
Simply using spear techniques to defend against the Slaughterer's attack wasn't very draining for Li Lifeng, but on this battlefield, consuming energy would only weaken him further.
After fending off the Slaughterer's attack, Li Lifeng counterattacked, his spear shadows shattering the tentacles as they flew toward the Slaughterer, leaving gaping wounds in its body.
The injuries on the Slaughterer's body had no effect on it, quickly healing as ten tentacles rged into one, hardening at the tips, greatly enhancing its power and attack strength.
The hardened, rged tentacles lashed at Li Lifeng like a giant python.
Li Lifeng leaped to evade the attack, his spear transforming into an Ancient Nether Serpent, striking the Slaughterer like black lightning.
Dark Nether Instant Shadow Kill!
In an instant, the spear-transford serpent pierced through the Slaughterer's body hundreds of tis, shattering every inch of its body, scattering pieces of flesh everywhere.
The sky poured down a shower of blood.
"Phew~ did I kill it?" Li Lifeng wondered, gazing at the shattered Slaughterer.
Suddenly, the massive tentacle shot up, aiming for Li Lifeng. His spiritual power severely depleted, facing the Slaughterer's sneak attack, he couldn't evade in ti and could only set up a defense to block the attack.
Drip-drop~ Blood dripped from above as Li Lifeng's arm bled. The ground beneath the Slaughterer he shattered reford constantly. The military seized the opportunity to use missile attacks while the Slaughterer temporarily lacked a body.
The missiles only temporarily delayed the Slaughterer's regeneration and couldn't kill it completely.
The temperature from incendiary explosions couldn't incinerate the Slaughterer's flesh, and missile blasts only barely managed to blow it apart, slowing its body's regeneration.
As long as the demonic aura persisted, the Slaughterer's body would eventually fully recover.
Unless the authorities seize this chance while the Slaughterer is immobile to drop a nuclear bomb, which, at the epicenter, would ensure the Slaughterer's demise, but would also destroy Blue Sea City.
Seeing this, Li Lifeng strained to condense another spiritual long spear and hurled it, unleashing the power forged from the Ancient Nether Serpent's single horn.
Netherworld Soul Return!
The divine weapon phantom ford by spiritual power could only unleash twenty to thirty percent of the Ancient Nether Spear's power, but even that proportion of Netherworld Soul Return's power significantly restricted the actions of the Slaughterer's only remaining thick tentacle.
The Ancient Nether Spear ford by spiritual power pierced the tentacle, pinning it to the ground. The surrounding ground turned gray, and the flesh on the tentacle also grayed from the spear's center, greatly weakening its movent.
The Slaughterer's regenerative flesh was continuously blown away by missiles, and the only offensive tentacle was suppressed by the Ancient Nether Spear's phantom. For the ti being, it posed no threat to those nearby.
Having completed his task, Li Lifeng swiftly returned to the military camp and used his Divine Soldiers interface to log into the Divine World to replenish his depleted spiritual power so he could continue dealing with the Slaughterer later.
If the Slaughterer maintained its current state by the ti Li Lifeng returned rejuvenated, he was confident he could finally kill the Slaughterer.
Even if it cannot be killed, it can have ninety percent of its power nullified, leaving it with only an immortal body, losing its attack power, unable to threaten others.
Lu Yu looked at the Slaughterer, who was suppressed right after appearing, and had so thoughts.
A demon comparable to a Core Formation Realm expert could provide experience points in the millions; maybe killing this Slaughterer would allow him to level up imdiately.
Although he had this thought, he wasn't foolish enough to try killing a powerful demon comparable to a Core Formation Realm while dodging flying missiles everywhere.
Although the battle between Li Lifeng and the Slaughterer ended quickly, during their fight, the explosions of missiles couldn't affect them, which showed how fierce their battle was.
It was only because Li Lifeng's powerful move shattered the Slaughterer's body; otherwise, the missiles wouldn't have been able to attack it.
Dispelling his flight of fancy, and looking at the demon shattered by the tal storm on the battlefield, Lu Yu attempted to release the Celestial Falling Bright Fla to burn the shattered demon flesh.
The Celestial Falling Bright Fla spread across the battlefield, and the shattered demon flesh quickly turned to ash upon contact. Although Lu Yu couldn't hear the sound of kill notifications, he could see his experience points rising quickly.
This demonstrated that incinerating the shattered demon flesh counted as Lu Yu killing demons, thus gaining experience points.
In a short mont, Lu Yu's experience points panel exceeded two million. In just a few minutes, he gained more than 200,000 experience points, and all he did was set the fragnted flesh on fire.
Seeing this, Lu Yu increased his spiritual power output to fuel the burn of the Celestial Falling Bright Fla, which rapidly spread across the battlefield.
Without Lu Yu actively targeting a specific demon, even though the Celestial Falling Bright Fla had a high temperature, it couldn't quickly kill demons. However, it sufficed for dealing with the demon fragnts on the ground.
As long as it swept over them, the demon fragnts would quickly turn to ash in the Celestial Falling Bright Fla.
The commander noticed the situation on Lu Yu's side, seeing him aggressively using flas to burn the demon flesh on the ground. After pondering for a mont, the commander ordered the incendiary bomb troops to focus their firepower on a few other critical areas.
On Lu Yu's side, there was no imdiate need for incendiary support.
At the sa ti, the commander arranged for others to be ready to replace Lu Yu. Given Lu Yu's current rate of spiritual power consumption, he estimated it wouldn't be long before Lu Yu couldn't produce flas due to depleted spiritual power.
The commander was also a Martial Cultivator, though his cultivation wasn't high. However, he had detailed data of Martial Cultivators at various realms and also Lu Yu's previous strength data, knowing that Lu Yu's power was roughly equivalent to a seventh-level Qi Condensation Realm Martial Cultivator.
However, Lu Yu's fla lasted far beyond the commander's estimation, and so far, he hadn't seen any signs of Lu Yu's spiritual power being exhausted. Instead, the golden flas on the battlefield were burning ever larger.
Nearly one-fifth of the battlefield was ablaze with golden flas.
In the area of golden flas, any shattered demon would quickly beco ash due to weakened defense, turning into Lu Yu's experience points.
Every minute, Lu Yu could gain over ten thousand experience points, a speed that was several tis faster than hunting demons in Tongtian Tower for experience points.
Using the Divine Martial World log-in device he carried, Lu Yu could see his attribute panel and perform operations to consu experience points near the two-world channel that was opened.
However, many features were still unavailable, such as seeing kill info, hearing kill notifications, and being unable to open his inventory, shop, or friend list...apart from his own attribute panel, all other features were inaccessible.
As long as he could consu experience points to level up, it was enough.
"Has he not run out of spiritual power yet?" The commander, watching the ever-expanding golden flas on the battlefield, asked puzzledly.
"It might be that the golden flas can expand by burning, not consuming much spiritual power," soone speculated.
"Who knows this kind of fla?" the commander asked.
Everyone shook their heads. They weren't very knowledgeable about such matters; unless one was a fire spiritual power Martial Cultivator, Artifact Refiner, or Alchemist, few would take the ti to understand the types and characteristics of Spiritual Fires.
To identify a fla by appearance requires a thorough understanding of the characteristics of various Spiritual Fires.
Finally, the Celestial Falling Bright Fla burned to the center of the battlefield, touching the giant tentacle pinned to the ground by the Ancient Nether Spear.
From thousands of ters away, Lu Yu concentrated his mind, focusing all his perception into a line to sense the fla burning the Slaughterer's tentacle over that distance.
Under the urging of his consciousness, the catalysis of spiritual power, and the assistance of the power of the Fire Demon Eyes, the Celestial Falling Bright Fla surged, releasing an extrely high temperature.
The tentacle ford from ten rged tentacles of the Slaughterer began to show signs of charring, but Lu Yu quickly realized that the Celestial Falling Bright Fla could not destroy that tentacle.
Even with its full power released, the tentacle was only superficially charred, with the inside unaffected; the temperature of the Celestial Falling Bright Fla was insufficient to roast the tentacle thoroughly.
Bang bang bang~ boom boom boom~
Explosions continuously rang out in the western suburbs of Blue Sea City, causing the residents to tremble in fear, even though they had been inford that the military would be conducting exercises around Blue Sea City recently.
But they hadn't expected the exercise site to be this close, or for the exercises to be this "lively."
In a certain underground laboratory in Blue Sea City, most researchers had gathered in the large square, analyzing various data from the demon lair in the western suburbs. Fresh samples were still being sent over from ti to ti.
The main research effort was focused on the demon lair, ignoring those demon hunters stored in the cold storage.
One of the ice sculptures developed cracks and then burst open, and a figure emitting cold air walked out, shivering from both the cold and excitent.
Looking at the experintal materials and samples in the cold storage, he curled his lips into a sinister smile.
