Chapter 47: Another Beast King
Luo Feng's consciousness plummeted into the darkness.
His consciousness dried up, and his soul was torn apart by excruciating pain. His last memory was of activating the Arc Blade Disc and annihilating two King-level monsters.
Then came endless darkness.
"I...tried my best..."
These were his last thoughts before he lost consciousness. His body lost all strength and he plummeted from a height of ten thousand meters into the blood-red ocean.
……
On the ground battlefield.
A sharp-eyed soldier spotted the falling black dot.
"Look, what's that in the sky?"
"It's Inspector Luo Feng. He...he fell down."
This exclamation sent a chill down the spines of countless soldiers and warriors. In the sea area that Luo Feng had just cleared, countless low-level monsters surged upwards, their jaws agape, awaiting the delicious meal falling from the sky.
"Luo Feng".
In the distance, a figure roared. It was Councilor Jia Yi, who was being entangled by several high-level lords. He had witnessed Luo Feng kill two king-level monsters in a few dozen seconds using a telekinetic weapon.
The scene took his breath away, and then he saw the young man fall, exhausted.
Jia Yi's eyes were bloodshot, and a violent aura exploded from his body.
"Get out of my way, all of you."
He roared, abandoning his defenses, and unleashed a burst of light, sending out a hundred-meter-long blade of energy.
"Pfft—".
The high-ranking lord monster that was entangled with him did not expect his sudden outburst. It was forced back by the slash, and both of them, unable to dodge in time, were slashed with huge wounds.
Ignoring the churning in his stomach, Jia Yi forced down the metallic taste in his throat. He rushed towards the direction where Luo Feng had fallen at incredible speed.
Hurry. Even faster! Looking down at the monster's gaping maw, Jia Yi's heart leaped into his throat.
Just as Luo Feng's body was about to fall into the monster's jaws, Jia Yi finally arrived and pulled Luo Feng into his arms.
He looked down at Luo Feng in his arms; Luo Feng's face was deathly pale, his eyes were closed, and his breath was weak. Seeing the two corpses of king-level monsters below, Jia Yi was shocked.
He actually managed to kill two king-level beings despite being at his last gasp.
Is this kid even human?
The violent tremors and shouts brought Luo Feng back to consciousness somewhat. He struggled to open his eyes and saw Jia Yi's anxious face.
When Jia Yi saw him open his eyes, he asked anxiously.
"You're awake. How are you feeling?"
"Councilor Jia..."
Luo Feng's voice was hoarse, and as soon as he spoke, the excruciating pain in his mind made him gasp.
"Luo Feng, you're a madman."
Within his mind, Babata's voice shrieked sternly.
"If you had come any later, your soul's essence would have been permanently damaged. You'd be lucky if your cultivation level hadn't plummeted. You must immediately stop using your mental power and engage in deep meditation to recover, do you understand?"
Luo Feng twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing an ugly smile.
He knew his situation. Right now, he couldn't even control a throwing knife.
He struggled to speak to Jia Yi.
"Councilor Jia, I'm completely exhausted and need to go back and rest immediately. I'm leaving the front lines in your care."
Jia Yi nodded heavily.
"Don't worry. You've done enough. Leave the rest of the battle to us. Get some rest; Earth needs geniuses like you."
Luo Feng gave Babata a command through his mind. High in the sky, a fighter jet broke through the clouds and landed, hovering beside the two of them.
Jia Yi escorted Luo Feng into the cockpit of the No. 1 intelligent fighter jet. The moment the cockpit door closed, he solemnly saluted Luo Feng.
Then he suddenly turned around and charged back into the beast tide.
Inside the fighter jet, Luo Feng slumped in his seat, the intelligent system activated its maximum speed, and they flew towards the global headquarters of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy.
Luo Feng asked weakly, his eyes closed.
"Babata, casualties, resource consumption, give me the data."
"The situation at the front is very bad, Luo Feng."
Babata's tone was heavy.
It projected a data model directly in front of Luo Feng.
"During the time you were fighting, three more secondary war bases around the world were breached, more than 3 soldiers were killed, three senators were killed and 13 were seriously wounded... and..."
Babata paused, then magnified another set of data.
"We can kill King-level monsters, but we can't stop low-level ones. The global war base's energy reserves are depleting rapidly. We can only hold out for another 18 hours at most before more than 70% of the energy shields fail. Then it will be a massacre."
A few minutes later, Fighter No. 1 landed on the helipad of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall global headquarters.
Luo Feng forced himself to walk into the core control center of the Dome of Light.
Wherever he went, all the technicians spontaneously stopped working and stood up to look at him.
Through the system, they witnessed Luo Feng's entire battle in the Southeast Theater.
Wang Yi, the chief technical officer, strode forward and saw Luo Feng's pale face and unsteady steps.
"You...you've worked hard."
Luo Feng waved his hand weakly and walked back to the control room.
When his consciousness reconnected to the Dome of Light system, the massive data stream and the devastating global battles made his face, which had just regained its color, turn somber once more.
On the main screen, the virtual Earth is divided into hundreds of real-time frames, each showing a fierce battle.
Soldiers roared in despair, buildings collapsed, and monsters tore at the ground in a frenzy...
On the other side of the screen is a resource consumption curve. The curves for each resource are plummeting towards the red line, which represents depletion.
"Is this the Golden Horned Beast's open conspiracy...?"
Luo Feng muttered to himself, his heart turning cold.
It's too ruthless. It doesn't need to get involved itself; by simply using these endless cannon fodder, it can exhaust humanity's war potential and hope.
Luo Feng tried to mobilize his mental power, but the tearing sensation from his sea of consciousness made him groan, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
Babata became so anxious that he started cursing.
"Luo Feng. I told you you can't use your mental powers anymore. Do you want to die?"
Luo Feng leaned back in his chair, feeling defeated and powerless. He possessed the vision granted by Babata, which allowed him to see the enemy's movements and plan attack routes for his own side.
But now, because their own strength is exhausted, they can only watch helplessly as their own units are worn down.
This feeling made him feel frustrated.
"Is there... really no way?"
Inside the control center, a young technician broke down as he watched the death count refresh on the screen, his voice trembling with tears.
These words ignited the fear in everyone's hearts, and an atmosphere of despair spread throughout the control center.
Right here in this deathly silence.
"Beep—".
A sudden alarm sounded throughout the core control center.
"Warning. An abnormal energy reaction has been detected. Energy level... surpasses King level."
"Energy source locked. Comparison in progress... Comparison complete. 99.9% match with the Emperor-level monster in the database—Thunder Dragon Emperor."
"Oh My God."
Upon hearing this name, Wang Yi, the chief technical officer, cried out in alarm and collapsed to the ground.
Inside the control center, everyone stared intently at the main screen. A huge, dark purple dot suddenly lit up in the East China Sea.
The Dome of Light system immediately deduced the Thunder Dragon Emperor's destination based on its movement trajectory.
It was the Southeast Theater of China.
"Thunder Dragon Emperor...wasn't it always asleep? Why did it suddenly appear here?"
An uproar erupted in the control center.
Luo Feng suddenly stood up from his seat, grabbed the control panel, stared at the rapidly moving purple dot on the map, and his heart almost stopped beating.
It’s over.
Given the Thunder Dragon Emperor's strength, once he arrives on the battlefield, the defensive line won't last more than three minutes.
Once the Southeast Military Region's defenses collapse, and the sea monsters invade the inland via rivers, the nation of China will be in danger.
