Chapter 358: The Truth About the Space-travel Passage

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

In the command center behind the defense line, a few high-definition photos of Mount Everest were displayed on the huge monitor. They had been taken by fighter jets flying over from a high altitude while risking their lives. It was said that at that time, the pilots’ hands had frozen, almost causing the planes to crash.

The reason was not only that Mount Everest had disappeared and the surrounding 100 kilometers had been razed to the ground, but also the huge eye that was lying motionless on the ground.

The extremely unstable spiritual power only occasionally spread to the outside world, but it also greatly affected the fighter jets in the sky.

At the conference table sat the commander-in-chief of the southwest military region, Huang Baijun, the martial master Elder Zhang, the person in charge of the 1,000-strong special forces, Zheng Yun, and the calm Chen Yiming.

“The small sun this time is even more terrifying than the one in the graveyard,” Huang Baijun thought to himself. His heart had not returned to normal.

Although electronic devices could not be used in the otherworld, it did not stop the military from relying on manpower to measure the impact. Now, the information was lying in the secret archives.

“I’m getting old. My era has completely passed.” Elder Zhang sighed in his heart. He had felt his way ever since he was severely injured by the black light’s sneak attack, and even now when his injuries had already healed.

The damage to his will to fight could not be recovered. The enemies that appeared one after another were not something he could deal with.

This was very different from the situation in the south in the past few decades. It was as if an old martial master like him was a little redundant.

Against ordinary mutant creatures, there was no need for him to make a move. Against the black light, the shadow monster, the shadow mouth, and the huge eye, he would be courting death if he went forward.

Zheng Yun was the youngest, so he did not think as much as Huang Baijun and Elder Zhang.

While leading the 1,000-strong special forces team, he saw the scene on Mount Everest in front of him. He had the intention to fight his way out from the defense line and launch a surprise attack on the mutant creatures near the Ganges Kingdom.

Chen Yiming coughed and said, “Can we submit a request to launch a few nuclear bombs? I think the huge eye might not be familiar with nuclear bombs. In addition, it was severely injured by me.”

The ultimate attack was dealt by the spiritual figure, but Chen Yiming shamelessly took the credit for it.

“Weren’t you attacking the mutant creatures back then? Everyone saw you turn into a 1,000-meter-tall giant,” Huang Baijun thought to himself, but did not say anything.

Chen Yiming’s expression remained the same as he continued, “A night has passed. If the huge eye is still in the area around Mount Everest, its vigilance will definitely have decreased.

At this time, as long as we can successfully launch the nuclear bombs, we might be able to kill it if we are lucky.”

Huang Baijun and Elder Zhang nodded and agreed with him.

The otherworld was a world that focused on individual cultivation. Using a nuclear weapon for an attack often worked well against them at least for the first time. If the huge eye overlooked the small missiles, it was really possible for them to succeed in one go.

“Even if I don’t make a move, do you really think it’s over?”

The matter of launching the nuclear bombs had basically been decided, Chen Yiming thought to himself.

At the southwest border defense line, the mutant creatures were launching an all-out attack without any fear of death. The humans were using their well-prepared defense line to cause a lot of damage to the enemy.

Even so, the mutant creatures showed no signs of retreating. Didn’t that mean that the huge eye was deliberately relying on the large number of mutant creatures to hold Chen Yiming back and prevent him from heading to Mount Everest?

Therefore, Chen Yiming would beat it at its own game. He would cooperate with the fighter jets that were launching nuclear bombs by turning into a giant and dealing with the mutant creatures to attract the attention of the huge eye.

…

Near noon, in another space deep underground in the ruins of Mount Everest, the huge eye was tightly shut again, and its entire body was twitching. There were a large number of broken tentacles around it, and purple blood was flowing out of the corners of its eye.

Even after one night and half a day, the injuries caused by the spiritual figure’s ultimate attack could not be stabilized.

In addition, two real-time spiritual images were displayed in the air. One image was taken facing the huge lake in the depths of the no man’s land in the southwest of the Daxia Kingdom, and the other image was taken facing the southwest border of the Daxia Kingdom.

The huge eye was a powerful creature from the otherworld that had survived the invasion of the black tide. Relying on its powerful spiritual talent, it had been secretly monitoring the shadow monster.

Of course, the huge eye knew the space-travel passages very well.

This was because the space-travel passages were the escape route that the powerful creatures from the otherworld had worked together to create after being trapped by the blockade when the black tide invaded.

However, this path of retreat was not truly effective even after the black tide had retreated. The main reason was that the cultivation environment on the blue planet was too poor, and it corresponded to a completely unfamiliar part of the galaxy.

The group of powerful creatures that remained had finally survived the invasion of the black tide, so their path of retreat was left unused. It was only some time ago that there were signs of the black tide descending again.

“Damn it! Why is there such a spiritual creature on this planet? Does it mean to fight to the death?”

Anger, panic, fear… All kinds of spiritual fluctuations continued to appear.

“Why! How could this be!”

At this moment, the huge eye had already been blinded by anger. It had forgotten that it was playing the role of the black tide creature, and could not understand why it had encountered such a situation last night.

Suddenly, more purple blood flowed out of the huge eye. The images formed by the spiritual power in front of it showed signs of instability.

In essence, this type of injury was similar to Chen Yiming’s. The best way to recover was to let its spiritual power calm down and slowly recover with time.

However, most of the huge eye’s ability was in its spiritual power. Without being able to use its spiritual power, it was equivalent to sealing off most of its strength.

Furthermore, if it did not monitor the human defense line, it might have to risk its life to survive if the strongest human approached it.

“This is terrible! Should I escape back to the otherworld?”

As its injuries worsened, the huge eye had the intention to escape.

The main reason why it had been able to hold on until now was because of the existence of the Daxia Kingdom’s space plan. The huge eye did not have the ability to monitor the Daxia Kingdom through the space-travel passage.

“I can’t go back! The current situation in the otherworld is exactly the same as what had happened before. The black tide will suddenly come at any time.”

The huge eye fell into a dilemma.

On one hand, it was under the pressure of the arrival of the black tide. It was anxious to urge the human spaceship to set off and be swallowed up by the blockade on the moon along with the strongest human being. It could then take the opportunity to rush out.

On the other hand, it had lost its ability to suppress the strongest human in a short period of time. The pattern on its eye was the foundation of its power, and most of its abilities were derived from the pattern.

Now that half of it had been shattered, and its injuries were worsening, it could barely maintain its strength. If it suffered any more serious injuries, the ripple pattern might completely shatter and its cultivation level would fall to the inscription realm.

After a long time, the huge eye’s spiritual fluctuations were no longer chaotic.

“Let’s go all out. If that strongest human dares to come looking for us, we’ll charge straight into the Daxia Kingdom and threaten the space plan.”

To the huge eye, returning to the otherworld was just sending itself to its death. The other side had long been surrounded by a blockade, and it was definitely a dead end.

It would only have a chance to escape if it stayed on the blue planet.

Moreover, it also felt that the most important thing for the humans now was the space plan. If it could hold on, it still had a chance.

…

The request to drop more than one nuclear bomb on the old site of Mount Everest was sent across thousands of kilometers to the capital. Soon, the military committee held an emergency meeting.

Nuclear bombs were too harmful to the environment on the blue planet where humans lived. Furthermore, they would be launched not far from the Daxia Kingdom.

As for whether the huge eye was still there, no means of detection could detect it at the moment. Even Chen Yiming himself couldn’t confirm it.

In the end, after more than an hour of intense discussion, the proposal to launch a nuclear bomb was approved with a majority of the votes.

Of course, the higher-ups of the Daxia Kingdom did not expect the nuclear bombs to kill the huge eye, even if it was severely injured.

To the Daxia Kingdom, the threat posed by the huge eye was too great. In order to ensure the success of the space plan, they would not let go of any opportunity to worsen the other party’s injuries.

…

The military committee had just made the final decision. At a secret base in the northwest, 10 fighter jets carrying nuclear bombs had already completed all the preparations for takeoff.

“We promise to complete the mission!”

The 10 pilots saluted when they received the order from the head of the base.

“We’ll leave it to you,”

the head of the base said sternly, the corners of his eyes slightly wet.

The 10 nuclear bombs were not the same nuclear bombs as when nuclear weapons were first invented. Instead, they were the most powerful nuclear bombs in the Daxia Kingdom.

At the same time, in order to ensure that the altitude was lowered accurately, and with the impact from the explosions, it was almost impossible for the fighter jets to return safely.

Moreover, once the huge eye attacked, even if the 10 fighter jets had launched nuclear bombs, the pilots inside would not be able to survive.

It could be said that this was a mission with no chance of survival.

However, in the face of a national crisis, someone had to make a sacrifice. The 10 people who had been selected to carry out the mission were already mentally prepared and had left behind personal letters for their families. No one had thought of returning alive.

Soon, the pilots entered the cockpits, and the 10 fighter jets began to slide along in sequence. After reaching their target speed, they soared into the sky and headed towards the huge eye for the third time.

…

At the command center at the southwest border,

Chen Yiming waited patiently with the others for the outcome. His mind returned to his spiritual world.

“14%.”

The revival of the spiritual figure was more than a tenth completed.

Feeling the gradually materializing figure, he felt more at ease than ever.

The black tide was about to descend. Facing an unknown enemy, the spiritual figure was the one he could rely on the most. After all, as long as he did not die, he would eventually be able to fight his way back.

On the other hand, his main body had two talents that leaned towards enhancing his physique. As long as he did not court death, it would be very difficult for him to die. He had to endure it. If he stayed hidden, he would win.

At this moment, beep, beep, beep…

“Hello?”

Huang Baijun picked up the phone.

“In half an hour, 10 fighter jets will pass over Mount Everest. They are expected to drop 10 nuclear bombs.”

The latest plan was conveyed over the phone.

“Roger that.”

After Huang Baijun hung up, there was no need to say anything. The people present heard it all clearly.

Chen Yiming snapped out of his daze. He knew that it was time for him to distract the huge eye, so he stood up and walked out of the command center.

A few minutes later.

A 1,000-meter-tall giant appeared on the battlefield and stomped a large group of mutant creatures to death.
