Chapter 380: The Fire Bird That Was Beaten to Death

“It escaped?”

Chen Yiming snorted. After some thought, he gave up on the idea of searching the area.

The huge eye had suffered defeat here again and again. Now that it had seen how powerful the divine sword formed by the spiritual figure was during the battle on the surface of the sea, and it still dared to control someone’s will and send them over, it was normal for it to have some methods to prevent being tracked.

Moreover, the huge eye had the ability to distort space. If it really wanted to play hide and seek with Chen Yiming, it would be very difficult to capture it. There was no need to target the huge eye specifically.

From the conversation with the middle-aged man, he had already formed a plan for how to make good use of the dark forest world. This was the advantage that came with becoming the stronger party.

…

At the capital’s international airport, “Buzz, buzz, buzz…”

With the dull roar of engines, a large number of transport planes in the sky landed in an orderly manner under the command of the ground control center.

These transport planes came from the countries that were working cooperatively for the space plan. They brought along various teams of experts and supplies to further increase the chances of the humans succeeding in the space plan.

If it was only one country, the airport would be able to complete the transfer just by making some small adjustments. However, there were dozens of countries involved, and the airport could not complete the transfer in a timely manner.

The reality was that the entire airport had become a temporary warehouse. A large number of supplies were placed in the open, and a large number of expert teams were waiting to be sent off to their destination.

On the streets outside the airport, there were endless streams of large trucks going in and out to take away the supplies and buses to pick up the relevant personnel.

At the same time, Chen Yiming and Elder Huang boarded a military vehicle and headed to the military committee.

“It seems that the bone beast has done us a huge favor.”

Chen Yiming was surprised that the mobilization of supplies across countries was so fast and frequent.

“That’s right. According to the news from the various countries, the appearance of the black obelisks has almost wiped out most of the mutant beast factions. Although it’s still incomparable to the environment of the Daxia Kingdom, the danger in the wilderness has already decreased to an all-time low.”

Elder Huang let out a long sigh, having many mixed emotions. The world was unpredictable. He did not expect that the problem of mutant beasts that had troubled humans for many years would be resolved so quickly.

Furthermore, it was not resolved by relying on the strength of humans themselves. Instead, it was resolved by the bone beast, which was an enemy of humans.

This way, the pressure on the cities around the world would be greatly reduced. The amount of manpower and resources they could mobilize would be on a larger scale than they had initially expected when they formed the cooperation for the space plan.

If not for the fact that the Daxia Kingdom could not accommodate the huge population across the entire world, everyone would have wanted to move here. When the time came, they would all be transported away in the spaceships.

Half an hour later, Chen Yiming entered the meeting room accompanied by Elder Huang. The top leader, the chief of staff, and the generals of the various military regiments had already arrived.

A decision passed by the people in this meeting room could change the direction of the Daxia Kingdom and affect the evacuation plan involving all the man-made spaceships.

“The war weapon used abilities that it shouldn’t have used yet, causing it to fall silent after returning to the oceanic trench. Now, armies of mutant creatures from the dark forest world are gathering at the entrances of the various space-travel passages.”

After sitting down, Chen Yiming threw out a piece of important news.

The black tide had already begun to arrive, but without the most powerful war weapon, the first to make a move were the mutant creatures.

“Tsk! They used an ability that they shouldn’t have used yet. Doesn’t that mean that the humans won an additional period of time to break through the blockade?” a general said in shock. To humans, they had just resolved the problem of the mutant beasts that had plagued them for a long time, but there was another piece of good news.

“This is great. The various countries have already sped up the transfer of manpower and resources. In three months, we are confident we can complete a fleet of spaceships. In five months, we are confident we can achieve the results of the original space plan. If time is really tight, they can still take off in a month and a half,” the chief of staff placed his hands on the table and said excitedly.

Although they did not know how much time the humans had bought, it undoubtedly gave the space plan more breathing space.

It had to be known that when the battle on the surface of the sea broke out, the humans thought that they could only use the first city-level spacecraft to try to break out of the encirclement.

On the other hand, even if the city-level spaceship successfully broke through the encirclement, the chances of it successfully reaching a new planet were very slim.

This was determined by the foundation of a spaceship. If one wanted to change and improve it along the way, they needed a miracle to do so.

“That’s right. Not long ago, the huge eye arranged for a human under its control to look for me and try to form a cooperative relationship with the humans to break through the blockade.

We don’t have to be anxious at all. We can decide on the time to break out of the encirclement based on the movements of the creatures at the level of the fusion realm from the dark forest world,” Chen Yiming said with a nod.

The situation had already taken a turn for the better. Previously, Chen Yiming, the strongest human, didn’t have enough strength to back him up, unlike the bone beast that could easily affect all the humans in the world in one go.

At that time, no matter what decision the humans made, they were on the passive side and would have to follow their orders. It was equivalent to slipping through the cracks to survive.

Now that the spiritual figure had broken through, on the chessboard where the black tide had invaded, humans had already become much stronger. They were no longer targets that either side could control at will, and they could decide their own fate to a certain extent.

“Indeed, other than the black tide, we are the ones with stronger combat strength. We should let those terrifying creatures from the otherworld break out of the encirclement first and try our best to protect the spaceship.”

The top leader nodded. This was an overt plan, and the most rational choice. Considering things from the long-term perspective after humans escaped from the blue planet, they had to be cold-blooded and merciless.

Just like that, the time for the humans to break through the blockade was temporarily delayed, and a general direction was set for them to deal with any changes along the way.

…

In the desert in the otherworld, countless stone statues stood in the yellow sand. They surrounded a building that seemed to have been created by the gods. It was an altar in the shape of a pyramid.

The pyramid-shaped altar reached into the clouds. It was built from huge rocks, and at the top was a wide area. In the middle was a brazier lit with a blue and white flame.

A huge humanoid creature was kneeling on the altar. It was wearing a beast skin cloak, and there was a huge wooden rod in front of it. At the tip of the rod was an item that looked like a gemstone.

The priest was very frustrated.

The barbarians had taken the initiative to surrender during the second invasion of the black tide. As an existence at the fusion realm, it was also forced to open its mind and let itself be controlled by something strange.

He had thought that the barbarians would be able to somehow survive this way. After all, even the dark forest world at its peak could not withstand the invasion of the black tide. The barbarians were not the only race that had made this choice.

However, in the world on the other side of the space-travel passage, there was some bad news for the barbarians. The war weapon had returned to an incomplete state.

In addition, the world over there had given rise to an existence that could suppress creatures at the fusion realm. The barbarians had been arranged to be the vanguard for the invasion of that world.

At some point, a bolt of lightning suddenly descended from the sky.

A black dot suddenly appeared in front of the altar. The black dot was spinning, and the air was distorted violently. Then, an image gradually formed.

This was a long-range communication method in the dark forest world. Only living beings who had walked a long way on the spiritual path could master it.

“Archangel, how’s the preparation going for your clan? The higher-ups have given the unconditional order to gather at the entrance of the space-travel passages.”

The priest looked at the image in front of it. In it was a six-winged angel surrounded by a black aura. It could also be described as a birdman.

The angels were the same as the barbarians. They had been arranged to be the vanguard for the invasion. Naturally, they were not here because they had nothing better to do.

“The will of the black tide cannot be disobeyed. Since we have chosen this dark path to become one of them, we naturally have to contribute our strength, unless you have the intention to escape from the darkness and the ability to do so,” the archangel said calmly. His voice traveled through the distance, and his tone seemed to be telling the truth, warning the priest not to make any mistakes.

“In that case, why aren’t the angels taking action quickly? It’s best if they are the first to charge into the other world and lead us to flatten that race called the humans.” The barbarian priest sneered.

The news that the divine sword had pierced through the shadow’s blockade not only shocked those who had come to the blue planet, but also the powerful races that had surrendered to the black tide.

Even if it was an incomplete war weapon, it had once caused a lot of trouble in the dark forest world. Other than using the world-level formation to shatter the war weapon, they could only choose to escape and not fight it head-on.

“The angels naturally won’t retreat. A large unknown galaxy with a living planet is waiting for us to conquer it. Don’t you want to break through and become an immortal?”

The archangel continued with a cold expression.

“Stop talking nonsense. Do you think I don’t know why you’re here? Just tell me what you want to do. Will you try to avoid the strongest human, or will you join forces to deal with the strongest human?”

The priest shook his head.

As soon as he finished speaking, the archangel’s eyebrows twitched, as if he was a little angry that the priest had seen through his thoughts.

“If we can’t even conquer a small planet, how can we conquer a galaxy? Of course, we have to join forces to kill the strongest human.”

Without much hesitation, the archangel expressed its stance.

“Two against one is definitely not enough.”

The priest’s eyes narrowed as he spoke with certainty.

The fact that the divine sword could pierce through the shadows meant that its offensive power had already exceeded the limit of the fusion realm.

This way, without the support of other allies, it was almost as if it could kill them with one strike, just like how the shadows were destroyed with one strike.

The shadows could not be too far away from the war weapon and the war weapon did not specialize in speed. Once they were defeated and tried to flee, the divine sword could chase them to their deaths.

Having the Undying Mark did not mean that they could not be killed.

“Of course it can’t just be the two of us. Wouldn’t that be like sending ourselves to our deaths?” The archangel smiled.

…

Chen Yiming didn’t know that before he arrived in the otherworld, he had already caused a commotion there.

Jiangnan province, the former site of the strange mountain village.

A firebird was forced to this place by the spiritual figure. Bright red blood flowed out of its wings and it landed on the ground, burning the area to a crisp.

In the dark forest world, this firebird was once known as the embodiment of flames. It could burn the sky and boil the sea, leaving behind a reputation that many races feared.

Of course, all of these achievements were based on the premise that creatures at the fusion realm would hide themselves away, coupled with the fact that it had already become a spy for the black tide and could make use of the terrifying reputation of the bone beast.

“Were you the one who released the burning cloud phenomenon to attract my attention back then?”

Chen Yiming sized up the firebird. It had been captured by the spiritual figure that was secretly investigating the situation on the blue planet, and there were still terrifying sword wounds on its body. The wounds couldn’t heal due to the interference from an unknown type of energy.

“Spare me, spare me. I’m a subordinate of the bone beast. I know the location of its treasure.”

The firebird immediately shouted in the Daxia Kingdom’s language. Other than some strange races, those who could cultivate to the inscription realm were all quite intelligent.

“Treasure?” Chen Yiming said casually when he heard this.

In reality, he was not very interested in the bone beast’s treasure. The other party was a spiritual creature like the huge eye, and was suitable to be killed by the spiritual figure.

It was a completely different path from himself, who was cultivating a strong physique.

Therefore, the useful items among the treasures could be counted on one hand for Chen Yiming. It would be a waste of his energy.

“That’s right. The bone beast brought all its treasures to this planet. Now that it has died, many terrifying existences are searching for this treasure, including the giant on the warhorse that has revived.”

In its hurry, the firebird revealed many secrets. It seemed like in order to survive, it did not have any conditions and did not care about anything else.

“The giant on the warhorse has revived?”

This news was indeed a little unexpected, but if it dared to show its face in front of Chen Yiming, he could just kill it again. Back then, the fusion attack of essence, energy, and spirit had hurt him so much that he had almost been split apart.

Chen Yiming hadn’t forgotten about this grudge.

Other than the huge eye, there was another suitable target that he had noted down.

When the firebird saw that the human in front of it was being led step by step into the trap it had set, it could not help but feel a little smug.

The existence behind the stone slab was never stingy with its rewards after it completed its missions.

Its extremely active cells and abnormally active spiritual power indicated that it only needed to make one or two more contributions to successfully break through to the fusion realm.

This way, as long as it completed its mission, it could clearly feel that it had improved in its cultivation. This made the firebird feel even more intoxicated.

This time, it deliberately wandered around the sea to further complete the mission of sowing discord and tried to break through to the fusion realm before the war weapon was completed.

In its opinion, the moment the war weapon was completed, it meant the end of the war on this planet.

Once it was over, there was naturally nothing else for it to do. Therefore, it had to quickly break through to the next stage so that it could contribute more to the conquest of this galaxy.

If one wanted to be a good spy, without sufficient strength, their value would naturally decrease greatly, and the chances of completing the missions would also decrease.

“What else?” Chen Yiming said calmly after some thought.

“Uh…”

“I can help you obtain the bone beast’s treasure first, as well as provide you with a list of creatures at the fusion realm that have come to this planet to take refuge.”

The firebird lowered its head like an obedient servant.

Was that all?

It seemed that those at the level of the inscription realm knew too little.

Chen Yiming, who had completely lost interest, turned to the spiritual figure and said, “Next time you encounter such small fries, just kill them.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yiming threw out a punch. A terrifying tearing force swept across the firebird’s entire body.

The creatures in the inscription realm had comprehended the power of the mysterious symbols and could transfer a portion of the damage to their surroundings. However, Chen Yiming’s body was too terrifying, and the firebird couldn’t transfer away enough damage to keep itself alive.

In an instant, a circle of terrifying flames erupted in the air, burning the surrounding area to ashes and forming a sea of flames. This was the aftershock from the transfer of damage.

Chen Yiming and the spiritual figure walked out of the sea of flames unscathed.

He looked at the space-travel passage in the sea of flames. The mysterious power of space was indeed not something that ordinary natural power could affect. From the beginning to the end, it did not cause a single ripple.

“Even though the war weapon cannot be used, they still dare to gather an army of mutant creatures? What’s the point of letting a few groups die just to test the waters?” Chen Yiming returned to his original goal.

The spiritual figure had captured the firebird, which had delayed him for a while. Chen Yiming didn’t let the spiritual figure go too deep into the otherworld, and only got it to kill those who had gathered at the entrance of the space-travel passages.
