Zhang Yi and his allies successfully defeated the Silver Armor leader, but the battle took a heavy toll. Meanwhile, other regions faced intense assaults from the Mist Valley forces, with formidable fighters like Jiang Han and the beast Xuanwu struggling to hold the line against overwhelming odds.

This was the ability of the Silver Armor General who had descended upon East Sea City, Blood Control!

He could manipulate the blood within living creatures, killing opponents from the inside out!

The blood arrows were merely a surface attack, this move was the real trump card.

Blood flowed heavily from Xuanwu's mouth and nose, his massive body swaying within the seawater.

However, he managed to withstand this blow by relying on his colossal frame.

Staring at the Silver Armor ahead, Xuanwu opened his massive jaws wide, and a condensed Xuan Light Cannon immediately blasted toward the Silver Armor!

BOOM!!!

A beam of light instantly pierced through the space between them, covering a distance of less than five kilometers in a mere instant before reaching the Silver Armor!

The Silver Armor seemed not to have expected that Xuanwu would still counterattack while injured under such circumstances.

Hastily, he transformed his River of Blood into a crystalline blood-red sphere that completely encased his body.

The Xuan Light Cannon slammed heavily into the blood-red sphere, its radiance illuminating all of East Sea City!

In an instant, the light faded.

High in the air, that blood-red pearl let out a "crack!" as it shattered, countless crimson fragments tumbling into the ocean.

The Silver Armor pried open the eggshell-like remains of the blood-red pearl with one hand, stepping out completely unharmed.

"With your strength, trying to harm me is nothing but a pipe dream!"

His voice was utterly frigid, like a lofty god gazing down upon the ants of the mortal world.

Xuanwu's gaze turned even more somber.

His strength truly was worlds apart from his opponent's.

If not for the military's modifications and his naturally formidable defensive traits, he would have already been killed by this foe.

He couldn't win!

He knew this fact with absolute clarity deep in his heart, but as the foremost combat power of East Sea City, he had to fight on until the very end.

Even if it meant... death!

It seemed like people had many paths they could take in this world, but most of the time, life offered no choices at all.

From the moment Xuanwu had joined the East China Sea Major Region, they had poured every resource into cultivating him, binding his fate inseparably to theirs.

The relationship between them was one of mutual loss and mutual gain.

If East Sea City fell, then he would have no face left to show the world. Thus, today could only end in a battle to the death!

However, at that moment, the Silver Armor suddenly retreated several thousand meters, gazing up at the sky with a wary expression.

Xuanwu's Xuan Light Cannon held limited deterrence against him, but that energy beam which had descended from the heavens earlier filled him with deep apprehension.

That was one of humanity's greatest military achievements to date, the space-based weapon.

Like the king of Heaven-tier weaponry, Love of Death, it possessed the power to kill high-ranking Transcendents.

The Silver Armor had been wounded by the space-based weapon before, and now, wary of the threat looming in the sky above, he dared not unleash his full strength against Xuanwu.

Otherwise, this battle would have ended far sooner.

The Silver Armor furrowed his brow. Only now did he deeply realize that the intelligence the Wuluan Empire had gathered was still insufficient.

Humanity's highest-level secrets were beyond the reach of the moles they had planted.

If they were unrestricted, they could easily annihilate this race.

But the Day of the Fall had yet to arrive after all.

Had they perhaps acted too early?

"It seems destroying humanity's cities will no longer be easy to accomplish! Still, the mission that must be completed still needs to be done."

His gaze swept toward East Sea City, then settled on Xuanwu, who regarded him with deep caution.

"Pop!" "Pop!" "Pop!" "Pop!"

Deep beneath the sea, countless sea beasts were invaded by an overwhelming force, their bodies exploding apart as torrents of blood surged toward the sky, merging into the Silver Armor's River of Blood.

"First, let's eliminate the strongest combat power here!"

In a thunderous instant, war erupted once again between the two!

Meanwhile, within East Sea City, Qinglong found himself facing the Black-White Commander.

He had originally assumed that once the Silver Armor went after Xuanwu, he could lead the Sea Dragon Corps to easily suppress this invasion!

But he never expected that merely a deputy commander would display such overwhelming strength!

The Weak Water Glassy Dragon God, whose entire body was translucent like an exquisite porcelain work of art, furiously slammed into the Transcendent from Mist Valley clad in black-and-white armor before him.

Yet the other party's expression remained utterly serene, so much so that he couldn't even be bothered to move his body from start to finish.

Facing Qinglong's assault, he merely raised his right hand and casually flicked it to the side.

"BANG!"

Qinglong's colossal body was uncontrollably hurled through the air, crashing through over a dozen large buildings!

"Telekinesis!"

Qinglong recognized the other's ability in an instant.

Telekinesis, driven by the power of thought, allowed one to command all things with a single intention.

Even among the Special Trait category, this ability was extremely rare, integrating offense and defense into one, making it incredibly difficult to deal with.

The Black-White Commander lightly flicked his finger, and dozens of surrounding buildings were forcibly torn from the earth, then hurled toward Qinglong!

Qinglong swiftly dodged these attacks, skyscrapers plunging into the ground like javelins, sending up deafening booms.

Qinglong fled somewhat ingloriously. He glanced back at the Black-White Commander, who stood with the bearing of a deity, and thought to himself: Telekinesis can command anything, but the range at which the ability can be deployed is limited. So I need to maintain sufficient distance from him!

Qinglong gritted his teeth and suddenly soared high into the sky.

He ascended thousands of meters into the air in an instant, gazing down from the heavens upon the land below.

His beloved East Sea City, the place he had once been most proud of, was now engulfed in flames of war everywhere, countless buildings destroyed.

Even the unbreakable defensive barrier, as sturdy as a great wall of ice and snow, had been shattered by a single casual strike from the Silver Armor!

Such crimes were absolutely unforgivable!

Qinglong circled in the high altitudes, his enormous translucent body floating through the air like plankton.

The next moment, his body suddenly erupted with the most brilliant radiance. His entire form became even more transparent, allowing even the skeletal lines within to be clearly seen.

Beams of yellow light burst forth from his body, descending upon the earth like falling rain, bombarding the Black-White Commander!

Myriad Colored Glass Exhibition!

Facing the tens of thousands of attacks descending from the sky with unpredictable trajectories, the Black-White Commander curled the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Oh? What a fine display of fireworks."

He remarked softly.

Then he spread both arms wide, and in an instant, an invisible telekinetic barrier expanded outward around his body.

"BOOM!" "BOOM!" "BOOM!" "BOOM!" "BOOM!"

In the blink of an eye, all the attacks slammed into the Black-White Commander from every direction with perfect precision, yet every single one landed harmlessly upon the telekinetic barrier.

After the barrage concluded, the Black-White Commander stood completely unmoved, not a speck of dust upon him. He faced Qinglong's full-power assault with the same casual ease as an adult dealing with a child.
