Chapter 445 - Cultivator Defence Base

Major Carlson heard Adam call him out and, although he couldn't help but feel intimidated, it was the perfect opportunity to take him down.

He could use Adam waltzing into the military base as a valid reason to take him down using the power of the Cultivator Defence Base and it would also allow him to use the defensive weaponry of the base.

"Calling all cultivators in this Cultivator Defence Base. There is a powerful intruder. Bring out all the weaponry and begin Operation Z Alert,"

Major Carlson's message resounded throughout the Cultivator Defence Base that was underground.

Although he didn't have the clearance to make such large-scale orders, in the situation of a Z Alert, he was able to do so.

The entire military base entered a state of lockdown where all the soldiers that were conscious were ordered to return indoors and prepare for further instruction.

In that time, the Elite Cultivator Defence Unit would be sent out along with any other reserves to take on the threat that was threatening the safety of the entire base and city.

A Z-Level threat was classed as anyone on the Top Cultivator Ranking or had some form of weapon of mass destruction that wasn't to be taken lightly. 

Major Carlson had expected that those he sent after Adam would fail and everything was turning out just like he had expected, planned and hoped.

Adam was beginning to realise that all of his actions had gone just like the Major was likely to have planned, which annoyed him.

Schemers like Major Carlson and Elizabeth's previous subordinate annoyed Adam the most, as they would manipulate others and pull strings from a distance while keeping themselves safe and reaping the rewards.

However, in front of absolute power, scheming was useless.

Adam stood in the centre of the military base and he could sense movement underground, but was impressed to find that his spiritual sense was being disrupted and blocked by some sort of array.

From what he sensed, there were at least a few hundred decently capable Advanced Cultivators that were all armed with super-weaponry that they produce in order to have a better chance against powerful cultivators.

Along with that, there seemed to be a few thousand Novice Cultivators and Adam didn't want to waste his time or energy facing them all, while he also didn't want to kill them as they were only following orders.

They all began surrounding Adam and made sure to keep a distance of at least 20 metres between themselves and him, knowing that powerful cultivators would be able to kill them within the blink of an eye if they stood too close.

It was ignorant to believe that 20 metres would save them from Adam's wrath if he truly wanted to kill them, but he still stood there and was yet to move.

"Where is Major Carlson? I ordered for him to come out"

Adam's voice was clearly heard by all and he speak in a domineering manner.

To Adam's surprise, Major Carlson really did come out and Adam could sense an individual that wasn't a cultivator coming out of the underground facility. 

Since Major Carlson was the highest-ranked individual that was present at that time, they all acted per his commands and a Z Alert Operation would grant him complete control over all the manpower. 

Because of that, Major Carlson was confident that he could eliminate Adam as even if he was on the Top Cultivator Ranking, he was only at the bottom of it and taking down an army of armed, skilled and prepared cultivators was impossible.

Or so he believed.

He was massively overestimating the cultivators they had trained as although they were very skilled and had super-weaponry that could kill Adam, it still wouldn't be enough to close the gap in their capabilities.

It merely allowed them to even out the playing field slightly, but Adam was still way above them all and his skills and capabilities made it so that even with their weapons, they would struggle to hit him.

"You dare to waltz into a military base. Each one of our bases is prepared to face and eliminate any cultivator and you are no exception,"

Major Carlson spoke in an authoritative manner and believe that he had caught Adam in his trap, however, Adam was still calm and confident.

"This is not enough to take on cultivators. No amount of planning or weaponry can compensate for your lack of true power,"

Adam released the full power of his killing intent and aura, and in an instant, the cultivators that were surrounding him began dropping like flies.

To them it felt as though they were suddenly overcome by a powerful pressure and most of them were unable to handle it, instantly losing consciousness.

In the blink of an eye, Adam had already taken down more than half of the cultivators that surrounded him, while the others had been shaken and intimidated by his killing intent and aura.

Not giving them a chance to shoot at him and overwhelm him with a barrage of attacks using their super-weaponry, Adam used the Step Skip Skill and appeared beside some of the military cultivators.

[It seems I overestimated this country's power. If this is all the cultivators that this country has to offer, then protecting his country from an outside attack would really be up to me] thought Adam to himself.

He was just too fast, skilled and experienced in combat for them to handle.

Adam's mastery over close combat was unbelievable, and he weaved through the cultivators using single attacks to knock them unconscious.

No matter how much armour they wore, a blow to the head or neck would instantly take them down.

Adam pitied them and could see that they were only following orders, so held back his power and made sure that none of them suffered irreversible damage, only wanting to display his power and get his revenge on Major Carlson.

"You sought my wrath and wanted to draw me into the open, well here I am. Nothing you can do will work against me,"
