Zhang Yi's power overwhelmed the Ultimate Evil Boy, whose regenerative abilities were diminished. After failing to summon reinforcements, the Ultimate Evil Boy attacked Zhang Yi, but Zhang Yi had broken through his limits, reaching 22,000 ability points. Zhang Yi swiftly defeated the Ultimate Evil Boy with his Star-Piercing Cannon, causing him to explode. With the Ultimate Evil Boy and his maggots destroyed, Zhang Yi purified the remaining demons and prepared to leave, though he remained wary of a potential mastermind controlling events.

Zhang Yi killed the Ultimate Evil Boy, and incidentally cleared out a portion of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

Liang Yue and Deng Shentong also entered the field, harvesting the remaining Transcendents of the Demon-Sealing Court.

After they struck, the Demon-Sealing Court’s remaining officers were all wiped out, not one left alive.

They returned to the mountain foot and reunited with Zhang Yi.

Liang Yue produced the dragon specimen, and Deng Shentong obediently handed over the original copy of Wang Yangming’s Philosophy of the Mind.

“This battle had some twists, but it went very smoothly! Old Zhang, the mission is a complete success!”

Deng Shentong gave Zhang Yi a thumbs-up, smiling happily as he winked.

Zhang Yi put away the two of their items and said, “Don’t celebrate too early, there are still enemies that haven’t been dealt with.”

Not far off, the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, after being eradicated, reformed and surged toward them again.

Zhang Yi frowned and led Deng Shentong and the others to temporarily withdraw from the area.

Boom!

Undying Mountain suddenly emitted a deafening roar.

In the recent battle, Zhang Yi had pierced the Undying Mountain—the symbol of Neon—with a Star-Piercing Cannon, opening a huge hole through it.

Now the mountain experienced a landslide, and half of the mountain collapsed.

Deng Shentong watched this and sighed in admiration, “With the collapse of the Undying Mountain that symbolizes Neon’s fate, this nation is finished.”

But before his words finished, he widened his eyes in surprise at the sight before him.

“What is that thing?”

He pointed toward Undying Mountain.

The massive falling mountain sent up clouds of dust, but after the dust cleared, an enormous skeleton emerged!

Zhang Yi and the others turned to look in that direction.

What they saw left them stunned.

Embedded within the mountain was an incredibly complex white skeleton, now completely fossilized, but its size was colossal—four to five hundred meters long!

This was not a mutated creature of the current era, but an ancient fossil.

“An ancient creature fossil hidden inside Undying Mountain? Somehow I feel it’s not that simple,” Zhang Yi said, frowning and looking grave.

Because in the current paleontological community, no one had ever discovered such a gigantic ancient fossil.

The bone structure was too strange, densely packed in massive numbers, and with the dust lingering, it was impossible to tell what it originally was.

At this moment, the three black shadows who had intended to leave after the Ultimate Evil Boy fell could not remain calm.

“This is… the ancestral sacred remains from antiquity? From our ancient forebears.”

“This kind of thing absolutely cannot be left for the Dragon Nation!”

One black shadow said in a deep voice.

The shadow in the middle said, “Forget it, although these are relics of our ancestors, we cannot act rashly right now. Otherwise, it will be very dangerous!”

But the previous shadow insisted, “No! These guys destroyed everything we planned, and now they want to take our ancestors’ sacred relics. I absolutely won’t allow it!”

Another shadow said, “Shenchanchao, don’t be impulsive. It’s not yet time. If we appear on this land now, we will be punished!”

Called Shenchanchao, that shadow replied sternly, “Nothing will happen. I can kill all these sixth-generation kids at top speed!”

The middle shadow warned, “Think carefully, this is extremely dangerous. We will not risk this with you!”

Shenchanchao snorted coldly, “Do as you please! This time, I will make the decision myself.”

The two shadows had no choice and fell silent.

Their bodies became illusory and then disappeared directly into the air.

At the same time, Shenchanchao’s form continued to solidify, bizarre dark radiance appearing on his body, making his phantom become real.

Shortly after, boots clad in black appeared among his shadowy form, stomping firmly on the ground.

Shenchanchao clenched his right hand in the void, and a black scepter materialized. At the top of the scepter was a ring, around which floated twelve black magatama.

Looking at the ancient fossil of Undying Mountain that had been blasted open and at Zhang Yi and the others not far away, he jabbed his scepter hard into the ground.

In an instant, thunder roared in the sky!

Tracking of All Things has an instinctive crisis-sensing ability, and when the thunder sounded, Zhang Yi also felt danger nearby.

He spun his head and saw several black dots rapidly approaching in the distant sky.

Boom!

Five armed helicopters flew in from the southeast and stopped several thousand meters from Zhang Yi and the others.

Zhang Yi’s intelligent system zoomed in on the image, showing that the blue-patterned armed helicopters carried a large amount of ammunition, their gun barrels aimed at this spot.

“Colombia Navy.”

Zhang Yi narrowed his eyes, “They arrived fast!”

What they feared most on this trip was Colombia’s naval power.

Two Epsilon-class Transcendents, Cadillus and Canero, aside, there was the overall might of the navy.

Zhang Yi had never underestimated military forces.

Transcendents were just humans stronger than ordinary people.

Top-tier hot weapons, like Love of Death or intercontinental missiles, could pose varying degrees of threat to Epsilon-class Transcendents.

If Zhang Yi were not a space-type Transcendent, and instead someone like Li Changgong or Han Shanzuo, a single large-yield intercontinental missile with wide coverage could still do significant damage.

Deng Shentong said, “Those are Bald Eagle Type I armed helicopters! The most advanced armed helicopter in today’s world, equipped with large-yield tracking missiles and armaments designed to counter Transcendents!”

After the apocalypse, most conventional hot weapons became cumbersome junk.

But as long as humanity survived, it would continue to adapt.

Now, major nations had developed extreme-cold-resistant weapons, and the arms race was fiercer than ever.

“Oh. Is that so!”

Zhang Yi looked at the sky, “If I’m right, Love of Death is already targeting this place.”

These armed helicopters might be effective against other Transcendents, but for a space-type like Zhang Yi, they were no problem.

He was least afraid of physical-level attacks.

Suddenly, Zhang Yi’s communicator received a call request.

The intelligent system notified Zhang Yi that the caller claimed to be Zhang Yi’s old friend, The Piercer.

Zhang Yi’s mouth twitched. He already knew the caller was Billy the Kid.

Because in the Colombia Navy, the only one who could have been promoted to Epsilon-class in such a short time was that guy.

They had not met in nearly two years. Back then, if Zhang Yi had not been held back by others, he would have acted to eliminate that potential future enemy.

Still, he accepted the call.

Neon was now Colombia Navy territory. Zhang Yi had obtained what he wanted and did not want further conflict.

It would be best if this matter could be resolved peacefully.
