Chapter 229: Heavenly Kings Join Forces, Wandering Thousands of Kilometers In Between Battlefields Throughout Life (I)

Fwoosh!

Deep within the Yunwu Mountain Range, a spark soared into the sky with a sharp whistle, exploding like fireworks when it reached a kilometer high. The released brilliance seemed exceptionally dazzling even in the evening.

At the moment of the Morning Star Signal’s explosion, a pulse signal much stronger than that of the smartwatches surged, piercing through the clouds in the sky and being received by high-altitude satellites.

Instantly, information about the appearance of a Shadow Cult elite in the depths of the Yunwu Mountains was transmitted back.

***

In the vast meeting room for the southern mutated beast battlefield, high-ranking military officials filled the stage, while the projection of sixty people responsible for the school bases of the southern battlefield were projected on the walls, including Chen Qi.

On the main seat, the base’s commanding officer, Ling Yi, said in a deep voice, "We have received information from the Ministry of Defense that traces of demon cult elites have been found in the depths of the northern battlefield.

"Ten minutes ago, Bailong Base personnel also reported traces of Shadow Cult agents in the depths of the Yunwu Mountain Range.

"The death of Qin Tianhu, who had been ranked first on the Achievement List, is related to that agent, but there are traces of another powerful will in the vicinity of the battlefield, making the situation quite complicated."

"What!"

"How is that possible? The battlefields are under strict scrutiny. How did they get in?"

"They couldn't have entered through normal means. It must have been through unstable rifts. Our area belongs to the overlap of two worlds, and the void is chaotic and violent. But opening a passage requires at least a peak king's intervention, as well as somehow getting their hands on precise cross-world coordinates."

"Of course, it's also possible that a stable passage has naturally formed in the depths of the battlefield, and then it was coincidentally discovered by the cults."

"I believe the first possibility is highly likely. The Purgatory Clan has existed for a long time, known to have surpassed one hundred thousand years. They might possess the means to open stable cross-world passages."

The meeting room had become restless, followed by intense discussions. Despite this, however, everyone remained relatively composed, without a hint of panic.

This was their stronghold; if some rats sneaked in, catching and killing them would be a breeze.

Ling Yi spoke in a deep voice, "There's no need for speculation. The cultists did indeed used cross-world coordinates to forcefully open temporary rifts, including here. However, there's no need to worry. When we established the mutated beast battlefield, we anticipated such situations and conducted numerous tests.

"Firstly, the cost of opening such a passage is substantial. Secondly, it cannot exist for too long, and there are significant restrictions on the number and strength of those passing through. For instance, they cannot carry life forms of higher ranks. At most, only thirty can pass through; exceeding this limit will result in collapse, and this count includes round trips.

"At the same time, life forms crossing over through these unstable rifts will also be suppressed by spatial cuts formed by the world's power, causing a temporary drop in their strength by a significant realm. This situation is a self-defense mechanism that the various worlds employ against outside invaders, and it’s one of the reasons why we use stable world passages when entering and exiting the mythical world."

Ling Yi’s tone became solemn. "As for the purpose of this invasion, it is most likely for revenge."

"Furthermore, the teachers stationed at the bases will closely monitor the situation in the surrounding mountains. Even though we have the Celestial Satellite System, we can’t be complacent. It would also be best to mobilize some students to patrol their base surroundings, to prevent any fish from slipping through the net."

A teacher suggested, "General, there aren’t a lot of enemies this time, and their strength is average. Should we organize some senior students to participate in the siege? They’re going to have to face high-level disciples sooner or later, and since these invaders will have their strength suppressed, it should be safer for the students.”

Ling Yi pondered slightly. "That's acceptable, but their cultivation should be at least the late stage of the Fifth Heavenly Realm, and they will need to either be in teams of five or more, or act together with teachers.

"These people all would have been at least in the Sixth Heavenly Realm before traveling through that passage. Even if their realms are currently suppressed, we can’t be careless. Especially with those lunatics from the Blood Cult, who would burn their essence or even self-destruct at the slightest provocation."

"Yes, sir."

Accompanying the issuance of orders, alarms blared throughout the school and military bases.

Wooo!

The sudden blare of the alarm startled all of the students, who instinctively looked toward the main building of their bases, then exchanged puzzled looks. In all of their time on the mutated beast battlefield, none of them had heard such an urgent alarm before.

"Attention. Elite demon cultists have been discovered in the Yunwu Mountains. A thorough search will be conducted for the next half month. All students below the late stage of the Fifth Heavenly Realm, remain at base and await further instructions."

"What? Demon cultists invading here?" Instantly, the bases broke into uproars.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

At Nantian base, just as the students in the square were beginning to panic, four figures clad in transcendent armor burst out, flames of true power burning on their bodies.

In just a few breaths, they dashed down the mountain, resembling four meteors tearing through the earth as they sped toward the Yunwu Mountains.

"It's Miss Chen and the others!"

"It looks like the alarm is actually real."

Meanwhile, many students active in the Jiuhuan and other mountain ranges received signals to return to the base, including Xia Youhui and his team.

Buzz!

At the military bases in the rear, blue fighter jets, larger and more futuristic than the Bluebirds that Chen Chu and his classmates had once ridden, rose off the ground.

Boom!

Once they reached a hundred meters vertically, these fighter jets accelerated to twice the speed of sound in the blink of an eye, disappearing into the sky with the thunderous roar of their sonic booms.
