"The only thing uncertain now is what the target of this Pillar Blade Beast is.
If it charges directly towards other battle zones, that’s the biggest trouble."
"Don’t worry, I’ve brought along an irresistible temptation for them."
The Daoist mysteriously winked, and a cluster of orange-yellow flas blossod on the back of his left hand.
Fu Jian chuckled silently.
Fu Jian asked: "Then it will rely on you to lure it over."
"No problem, I can still handle this kind of task," Wang Jixuan inquired while holding a beer, "Where’s the trap?"
"At the airport where you previously landed."
"Cough!"
Wang Jixuan choked on his beer, his eyes suddenly filled with a hint of resentnt.
Fu Jian laughed and said: "That’s why I advised you not to leave the plane, and to transfer directly if necessary."
Wang Jixuan:...
Goodness, Fu Jian had almost calculated all his movents!
"Alright then, in the future if I exploit your Crystal Core, it will lessen the guilt a bit..."
Ang—
Rumble!
A sound resembling an elephant roar, amplified hundreds of tis, echoed, followed by continuous tremors of the earth.
Here, the Pillar Level Blade Beast was nearly two hundred kiloters away, and the military fortress had enough stabilizing devices, yet it could still make those standing sway left and right.
Fu Jian and Wang Jixuan looked at the big screen.
The massive spine spike structure had started to rise, the surrounding rock walls began lting rapidly, and the caras of the drones soon stopped working.
The screens started shifting constantly.
Cries from the communicators rang continuously:
"Target accelerating upwards!"
"Small groups of Blade Beast Groups are erging from the surface! Large groups are making an underground advance!"
"The movent trajectory of the Blade Beast Group predicts our Number One Defensive Line!"
Fu Jian said in a deep voice: "It’s coming."
Wang Jixuan didn’t respond, sipping his beer in small gulps.
Just as he was puzzled, wanting to ask Fu Jian why he wasn’t commanding the Battle Array, two middle-aged generals beside him began issuing orders.
The underground minefield was triggered;
The map beca densely filled with red dots, these dots flooded like a torrent, countless and unending, crowding the radar screen, crazily rushing toward the human defensive line.
The ground started trembling continuously.
Nuclear landmines here had almost beco standard equipnt.
Yet most people’s sights in the Command Center were still focused on that ravaged rift valley.
A gigantic green halo suddenly blossod underground.
The ground shattered, jets of magma spurted upwards, the air seed to boil, and dense smoke appeared high in the sky.
Humans did not waste firepower directly attacking the Pillar Blade Beast.
Now, the human defensive line was firing at full force, rely clearing the Blade Beast Tide erging underground.
They watched;
Waited;
Waited for each peak to pierce through the magma, ’slowly’ rising from within the earth;
Waited for layer upon layer of halos to light up on the planet’s surface;
The Pillar Blade Beast rose!
Those peaks were connected by a wide, perfect arc, beneath which lay a black-gray majestic body!
Wang Jixuan finally saw this colossal beast with his own eyes.
The King-level Blade Beasts, differentiated by shape, consisted of over a dozen types, and similarly, the Pillar Level Blade Beasts among the Twelve Pillars included serpentine existences, as well as Pillar Blade Beasts akin to Special Winged Dragons that couldn’t fly;
The giant Blade Beast before him, resembling a Sword Spine Dragon overall, was indeed one of the Twelve Pillars with the strongest defense capabilities.
It had a body length of seven to eight kiloters, covered head to tail by an extrely thick Blade Beast Outer Bone, six short stout limbs, broad footpads, and devastating power when upon the ground.
Its head had a diater of re tens of ters, neck width was only about fifty ters, while its width thickened rapidly from the neck backward, presenting an odd, large body, small head, and long tail structure.
This construction also proved very practical;
If facing a deadly threat, its head could retract into its body within a second.
Wang Jixuan raised his hand to rub his nose and frowned, "Will its soul be inside its head?"
"Not necessarily," Fu Jian said, "Don’t let your experience mislead you. Don’t act rashly unless you’re certain. This is humanity’s enemy, and humans can handle it themselves."
"Alright."
Wang Jixuan nodded.
Fu Jian leaned back in his chair, observing the various battlefields. He would only intervene to correct when the commanders on their side made obvious errors.
The Pillar Blade Beast began to advance!
Wang Jixuan instinctively held his breath, watching as this bloated Blade Beast ’slowly’ stepped forward.
The ground began to form large expanses of magma lakes, with rolling black clouds in the sky following its progress.
Rings of light surrounded it;
It seed to be ’floating and gliding’ in the air, yet its pace reached nearly 200 kiloters per hour.
This kind of Great Demon was unheard of even in the Cultivation World.
—Mainly because most creatures, upon cultivating to a higher Dao Realm, chose to transform. No matter how large the main body was, it didn’t benefit fighting much, and being too big made it an easy target for attacks.
And now, the situation was quite surreal.
The Blade Beast Tide charged underground, numbering equivalent to eight King-level Blade Beast Groups, while the Pillar Level Blade Beast strolled on the surface unhindered, even leisurely.
Wang Jixuan asked, "Aren’t we attacking this ghostly thing?"
"Attacking it is just a waste of firepower," Fu Jian explained, "We need to find a way to trap it."
Wang Jixuan nodded in agreent.
Nearby, a technician shouted, "There’s a breach in the underground minefield!"
"Ergency firepower coverage!"
"Covered!"
"The Sixth Pillar is approaching the One defense line’s alert zone!"
"The One defense line is starting to retreat... All units set weapons to automatic mode!"
"Switched to automatic mode, units are beginning to retreat!"
"The Sixth Pillar crossed the defense line alert zone!"
"The One trap has been activated, automatically sensing the target location! Manual intervention is ready!"
A simple trap icon appeared on the screen, resembling a hunter’s steel trap, slowly adjusting its position underground.
Those were hot nuclear bombs carried by the Advanced chanical Body!
The defense line’s firepower suddenly beca fierce, holding the underground Blade Beast Tide firmly outside the One defense line, while the Sixth Pillar Blade Beast advanced without any decrease in speed, its ’small’ eyes showing only coldness.
A killing machine’s coldness.
On the map radar, the icon of the Sixth Pillar jumped into the trap!
Sixteen hot nuclear bombs detonated in phase underground!
Sixteen suns appeared on the horizon!
The scorching light completely engulfed the form of the Sixth Pillar!
The air showed obvious gas tides, powerful shock waves interfering with each other, the Sixth Pillar’s massive body stepping into the void below, falling straight down with those rings of light!
The fastest charging group of High-level Blade Beasts underground, aside from a few King-level and Sub-king level Blade Beast signals, all other signals evaporated!
Many in the command center clenched their fists.
They cheered silently, as if they had won this round, but before their smiles could form, the scene before them left them breathless again.
Amidst the twisted light and shadow, the Sixth Pillar had only sunk a few hundred ters, its six legs seeming to be embedded in the earth.
The rings of light around it began to flicker continuously.
Its massive body slowly but determinedly moved forward, upwards, gradually pushing itself up.
The recent nuclear explosion had caused large areas of its outer bone to lt, but with the flickering of those rings, the damage on the outer layer regenerated and solidified at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Boom.
It once again stepped onto the earth, gazing at the most resilient part of the human defense line, walking forward as if on a stroll.
"The effect wasn’t too bad."
Fu Jian slowly stood up and said softly:
"It’s about twenty percent weaker than eighty years ago, the area of its outer bone that can be lted has increased, indicating that the years of slumber underground have eroded so of its power."
"Now cos the crucial second line of defense, the central area of the defense line is right here."
Fu Jian turned his head to look at Wang Jixuan.
By reason, he should act logically, but sohow, he suddenly regained a bit of the youthful enthusiasm, taking the initiative to invite Wang Jixuan.
"Want to join this old bone on the battlefield? Comrade Wang Zheng."
