Originally, Country C had satellite artillery providing air support, but Country A's secret weapon, space robots, was also deployed immediately to destroy Country C's satellites, both military and civilian.
Now it depends on whether the underground defenses can withstand the monster army. Relying on manpower to fight the base hand-to-hand is unlikely to be successful, as the numbers are too far outnumbered.
However, the monster that first rushed to the first alloy gate glowed red, its huge claws turned blood red, and it pierced the alloy gate, which was impervious to guns and cannons, with a sudden thrust.
Moments later, the gate was smashed to pieces, and then the attack rushed to the next one.
The Underworld cannot send too many troops to the moon, but on the Blue Planet, everything becomes much easier. The Underworld can send some of its scientists and powerful individuals to hostile countries and forces of Country C through possession, reincarnation, and other means.
Country A's technology in cloning, biochemical modification, and robotics is at least several decades ahead of Country C's. In addition, the Underworld directly dispatches military spirits to control biochemically modified monsters, and their combat experience and spirit power are also considerable.
At the Yuan Energy Base training ground, Fang Lao, watching the surveillance video, had a look of despair on his face, while Daisy Yu next to him was also clenching her teeth.
Unexpectedly, these monsters can actually increase their strength. After turning red, the monster is equivalent to a peak master of the Overlord Realm. How can we fight it?
"Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts!" Old Fang trembled with anger. If it weren't for the full support of Country A, how could the situation have turned out this way?
"I'm going to the door. I'll hold out for as long as I can... Huh? Why is he here too!" Daisy Yu pulled out her elemental dagger.
Just then, two strangely dressed people appeared in the sky above the Cangquan base.
One of them was naturally the ethereal and otherworldly Xiaoyaozi, while the other was Zoro, who wore a green turban and a green robe.
"What? You can avoid killing if you can? That's way too difficult!" Xiang Sheng complained to the God of Wine as he fell.
"What's so difficult about that? These monsters are incredibly resilient and won't die so easily. Take this Ice Seal!" Xiaoyaozi held a high-grade spirit stone and unleashed a small attack. The spiritual energy concentration on Water Blue Star was extremely low; without a spirit stone, one would easily deplete their own resources.
Xiang Sheng's side was simpler. He used a giant tornado to clear a path, heading straight for the depths of the base. All the monsters blocking his way were slashed away. However, the power of this move was not very strong, which just met the God of Wine's need to avoid killing as much as possible.
Xiaoyaozi followed behind, freezing the monsters one by one. Occasionally, a monster would pounce at him, but it was all blocked by the ice shield. Ever since Xiaoyaozi burned his eyebrow while playing with fire, he began to focus on ice magic.
This freezing spell is the weakest of all the spells Xiaoyaozi knows; it's not enough to freeze these monsters to death instantly.
Inside the Yuan Energy Training Ground, the virtual screen was playing a battle video sent by Hong Hong, showing the moment when Xiaoyaozi and Xiang Sheng had just entered the courtyard.
Daisy recognized Xiang Sheng at a glance, the wanted criminal who had killed indiscriminately in Country A. At first, she thought Xiang Sheng was also part of the enemy's group, but as Xiang Sheng made his move, the answer became clear.
Under these circumstances, the enemy no longer needs to resort to any elaborate schemes to gain trust; breaching the core area of the base is a matter of minutes.
"I never expected him to come and help us." Daisy Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly. Not long ago, the National Security Bureau was still arresting him.
"That old man also looks like a deity. Could he be with the Feather God?" Old Fang instantly understood.
“Yes, they were together. Both of them were, along with three other women,” Daisy Yu said definitively.
"No wonder the Feather God is unwilling to wake up. He must know what's going on. With these people around, the Underworld can't cause any trouble," Old Fang said with a smile.
At this moment, Xiang Yu in the dream is still fighting with all his might. The originally oval-shaped moon now has a huge gap, just like the mouth in the classic game Pac-Man.
Ying Gou smiled wickedly, "You've defeated this moon, so you're qualified to become one of the skeletons under my command."
"You're next." Xiang Yu clenched his fist. How powerful was the opponent before him? Could you believe he used the moon as a weapon?
“Very good, I’m looking forward to it. Let’s win against them first.” Ying Gou said, tapping the bone throne with his finger. “Whoever can kill him, I will grant them freedom.”
The Bone Throne is made up of countless bones, as large as a mountain. The skeletons inside were all powerful figures at the Great Luo realm or above in life. After their defeat, they were suppressed and imprisoned here by Ying Gou, never to be reincarnated or free.
Now that the opportunity for freedom is right in front of him, how could the powerful one on the throne remain calm? Ying Gou has always been a man of his word; if he says he will give you freedom, he will definitely give you it!
roar!
The powerful beings within the Bone Throne broke free of their restraints. The first to rush out was a terrifying behemoth at the Dao Ancestor level. Even though only a skeleton remained, it was still at the Dao Ancestor level.
Behind them were other powerful figures at the peak of the Half-Step Dao Ancestor and Great Luo realms. After leaving the throne, they immediately became enormous. It turned out that they were all bone thrones formed by shrinking their bodies.
"Kill!" Xiang Yu's fighting spirit was boiling. This kind of exhilarating battle was exactly what he wanted. Even if his life was hanging by a thread, he no longer hid in the alternate dimension.
Xiang Yu's Overlord Divine Halberd was accidentally taken away by Ying Gou, leaving him with only the Overlord Divine Armor and the Heaven-Breaking Dragon Halberd. However, he still managed to defeat the Dark Moon, who was comparable to the peak of the Great Luo realm.
According to the classification of the domineering cultivation system and the immortal cultivation system, Xiang Yu's current realm is only equivalent to a pseudo-immortal, which is equivalent to a true immortal who has just passed the immortal tribulation and has not yet transformed his spiritual power into immortal spiritual power or immortal essence.
However, Xiang Yu did not simply cultivate domineering aura. He incorporated martial arts and insights into domineering aura from One Piece, along with the attribute point boosts from Hao Jiu and various power-enhancing potions, forcibly raising his combat power to the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, which is equivalent to advancing from the Earth Realm of Domineering Aura to the peak of the Heaven Realm.
However, it becomes increasingly difficult to increase one's strength further. The gap between the Earth Realm and the Heaven Realm in the domineering cultivation system is enormous. This is immediately apparent when compared to the cultivation system with its more detailed realm divisions. Above the pseudo-immortal, there are four major realms: True Immortal, Golden Immortal, Taiyi, and Daluo. If you include the smaller realms in the early, middle, and late stages, there are even more.
Even in cultivation novels, it's impossible for a pseudo-immortal to kill a Grand Luo Immortal, but Xiang Yu is doing just that.
Unfortunately, two great obstacles still stand in Xiang Yu's way: one is Ying Gou's defeated enemy, sealed within the throne of bones, and the other is Ying Gou himself. Xiang Yu is even unsure whether an even stronger being will emerge after killing Ying Gou.
"I'm sorry, Overlord, I've done my best," Dionysus sighed.
"God of Wine, there's no need for this! I haven't lost yet! Ah...!" Xiang Yu let out a long roar, and the domineering energy within his body poured out continuously, creating a giant wave of energy that instantly pushed away the skeletons of the powerful figures who were besieging him.
Ying Gou's eyes lit up. "Interesting. Is this a breakthrough attempt before battle? Then I'll give you that chance!"
The domineering energy gradually filled this area and continued to expand outward at an extremely rapid pace. Xiang Yu's perception became incredibly strange, as if he could see with his own eyes everything happening in any corner of the world. This feeling was no different from that of a god.
When Xiang Yu first advanced to the Earth Realm, his control range was only a hundred miles. But now, his domineering energy has undergone a qualitative change from quantitative change, finally meeting the conditions for the Heaven Realm, and his control range has reached the entire plane!
A powerful breakthrough!
Xiang Yu has finally advanced to the Heavenly Realm!
Chapter 547 Awakening
Beep beep beep...
A piercing buzzing sound rang out, indicating that the energy training machine was about to overload and explode.
Fang Lao and Daisy were shocked. These were a hundred training machines. Normally, it would be impossible to destroy even one machine in a dream.
At first, many people completed the game, but no one managed to overload the machine. Later, the program was improved, making it impossible to complete the game. Users could play for as long as they could, depending on their own abilities.
Some experts trained continuously for a month but still couldn't break the machines, but Yu Shen, in just a short time, is about to break a hundred machines at once.
Honghong immediately increased the supply of elemental energy, shutting down the base's elemental energy shields and using it all on the elemental energy training machines, which barely stabilized the situation.
"How is this possible? Honghong, how did you write your program?" Old Fang didn't quite believe that Honghong would make a mistake, but he still asked.
Honghong didn't feel wronged at all. She calmly said, "The program should be fine. I think the user's behavior in the dream exceeded the limit that a hundred machines can handle. We underestimated Yu Shen's strength. The dungeon progress was too fast, or there were other special circumstances."
But now is not the time to discuss this. The energy training machine is operating at overload, and even with enough energy to sustain it, it can't last long. I suggest we contact the two immortals outside as soon as possible to see if they have any way to wake up the Feather God.
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Daisy rushed to the door, hoping that the most wanted criminal would be more accommodating.
"Be careful!" Old Fang murmured as he watched Daisy Yu leave. "Special circumstances? What could be so special? Feather God's dream must be incredibly exciting..."
In a dream, above a sea of blood.
"So this is what it feels like to be in the Heavenly Realm..." Xiang Yu could feel that his body had undergone earth-shattering changes, with his offense and defense both improving again, and his lifespan far exceeding that of a Core Formation cultivator, at least a million years.
Even though he had only leveled up once, it gave Xiang Yu the feeling of being invincible.
Since the previous bonuses are still in effect, and now that one's own strength is greater, the bonuses will naturally be even stronger.
Xiang Yu's actual combat strength was already close to that of a Dao Ancestor, that is, a so-called half-step Dao Ancestor, which is above the peak of the Great Luo.
If you add the ability to infinitely heal injuries and access to other dimensions, you wouldn't be afraid to fight an ordinary Dao Ancestor head-on.
Unfortunately, although Xiang Yu is strong now, many of the items that boost his combat power are not permanent. After they expire, the boosting effect disappears, and Xiang Yu temporarily loses the ability to fight against the Dao Ancestor.
After all, Xiang Yu's realm was only at the early stage of the Heavenly Realm, a realm equivalent to a True Immortal.
Of course, in Ying Gou and the others' view, Xiang Yu's current realm is still Core Formation, but no one is foolish enough to believe that. Regardless of whether it was a Pyrrhic victory or how many times he was on the verge of death, to defeat the Netherworld Moon at the peak of the Great Luo realm, he must at least be at the Great Luo realm to make sense.
However, the Great Luo realm is nothing in the eyes of the Dao Ancestor, even for a Dao Ancestor who is extremely weak and at the bottom of the rankings.
"Roar! So what if I've broken through? No one can stop me from regaining my freedom!" The Dao Ancestor-level behemoth roared and slammed its claws down.
A massive claw suddenly appeared above Xiang Yu's head and slammed down rapidly. There was no time to dodge, but after the claw swept past, Xiang Yu was still standing there unharmed.
"Let's finish this quickly. There's an even more formidable opponent waiting. I've lost interest in you all." As Xiang Yu spoke, he vanished into a blur.
Before the Dao Ancestor-level behemoth could even figure out what was going on, his old bones fell apart, while the other skeletons that had surrounded Xiang Yu were simultaneously reduced to dust.
"This is impossible... Ah!" the Dao Ancestor-level skeleton cried out in terror, and then turned into dust.
He couldn't understand why, even though he, as a Dao Ancestor, was extremely weak, he shouldn't have been killed by a human at the Great Luo Realm.
Ying Gou stood up. "Very well. Now that you have the strength of a Dao Ancestor, then take over from this stupid dragon and become part of my throne."
"Your throne is still there?" Xiang Yu's body instantly turned into a phantom again.
boom!
With a loud crash, the throne shattered into pieces, turning into dust as well.
"So what if it's not here? I can rebuild it!" Ying Gou punched the phantom of the Heaven-Breaking Dragon Halberd, and then his body was instantly hit by several halberds, leaving many wounds of varying depths.
After advancing to the Celestial Realm, Xiang Yu gained the ability to teleport and roam the universe infinitely. He could teleport wherever his domineering energy was located, and it could even be said that Xiang Yu was constantly changing positions, even if he appeared to be in one place without moving.
Xiang Yu's current speed, strength, and other attributes are also quite terrifying due to the enhancements from various items and medicines, allowing him to thrust out many halberds in a very short time.
In reality, due to the domineering cultivation system and Xiang Yu's stat allocation, Xiang Yu's current weakness is still in his soul, and he can only rely on the God of Wine to protect him in his sea of consciousness.
Fortunately, his opponent Ying Gou did not like to use soul attacks. He was an ancient giant zombie and the progenitor of zombies. He was extremely powerful and fast.
If it had been an ordinary Dao Ancestor, it wouldn't have been a matter of being struck by multiple halberds; he would have turned into dust like those skeletons. In that instant, Xiang Yu had unleashed countless attacks.
However, most of the blows were blocked by Ying Gou, and the area hit by the halberd was not a vital spot. Moreover, the injury was healed instantly.
"You stole my divine halberd, why don't you use it? If you don't use it, why are you still holding it? Wouldn't it be better to give it back to me?" Xiang Yu frowned.
"This halberd is extraordinary. If I use it, you will surely be defeated. If I return it to you, I might be in some trouble. If I put it away, you might snatch it back in an instant. So I'll keep it for now and see if you can still surprise me."
After saying that, Ying Gou unleashed a flurry of punches, "Now it's my turn to attack, watch out!"
Xiang Yu disappeared again, and most of the attention was on Ying Gou's right hand holding the Overlord Divine Halberd. On the battlefield, all's fair in war, and who knows if Ying Gou will use it later.
Having possessed the Overlord's Halberd for so long, Xiang Yu knew all too well how powerful it was, especially after Hao Jiu used energy to alter its weight.
Two powerful close-combat fighters clashed, their figures constantly shifting positions, appearing everywhere, each a mere afterimage.
"Kill!" Xiang Yu saw that Ying Gou had made a mistake and pierced Ying Gou's body with his halberd. However, Ying Gou was not only unharmed, but also locked the Heaven-Breaking Dragon Halberd.
"Hehe, you really are naive." Ying Gou's strength was greater than Xiang Yu's. As a Dao Ancestor who cultivated through physical strength, his physique was naturally incredibly powerful, so he once again seized Xiang Yu's weapon.
Then.
puff!
Ying Gou's head flew off. "Oh? So you have another weapon."
Clang!
