Chapter 381: A Storm Is Coming

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

In the underground palace on the African continent, “Clang! Clang! Clang!”

The stone slab lit up with a flickering light. The entire underground space flickered, and an invisible force spread out. The chains swayed crazily from side to side.

“Why didn’t such a thing happen earlier or later? Why did it have to be beaten to death at this time?”

The pupils on the stone slab emitted a terrifying killing intent. The scene froze at the moment when the firebird was killed by Chen Yiming with a single punch.

The firebird was a relatively important chess piece to carry out the will of the existence behind the pupils to invade the world.

Although it could be replaced, it would take some time. It was impossible for the invasion of the blue planet to stop because of such a small setback.

“Forget it. It’s the same even if I get the chess pieces from the dark forest world to surround and try to kill that human.”

The space in the underground palace gradually calmed down. In the end, the existence behind the pupils gave up on the idea of forcefully using the war weapon again.

The war weapon and the blockade were the greatest support for the black tide’s invasion of the world. However, every time it was interrupted while in its incomplete state, the completion of the war weapon would be delayed.

Under normal circumstances, humans, who had yet to step out of their native planet, were so insignificant that they could be ignored. The existence behind the pupils was just frustrated that one of its chess pieces was killed at this time.

It had never thought that a single human could really fight back against the dark forest world that was completely under the control of the black tide.

Such a small incident would soon pass. The forces of the black tide were about to conquer this unknown galaxy with the blue planet as its starting point.

…

January 10th was an entire month away from the Spring Festival.

In the dark forest world, the armies of mutant creatures were taking severe damage. A divine sword was entering and exiting the space-travel passages all over the blue planet.

The space between the sky and the earth seemed to have turned into a world of swords. It killed everything it encountered until there was no sound left, until the world changed color and the blood turned into a sea, until there was only silence left on the battlefield.

Some bold humans took the risk to enter the space-travel passages to check on the situation.

It was said that when they returned, they were so excited that their minds became exceptionally active. When they closed their eyes, they saw mountains of corpses and a sea of blood.

The various countries had also sent out special teams to enter the space-travel passages to investigate the situation. If the situation changed, they would have to build a crude spaceship and set off no matter what.

After all, the Daxia Kingdom already had a blueprint for building a city-level spaceship. If there was not enough time, they could just use it and make some simple modifications.

“The dark forest world is probably more than 100 times the size of the blue planet. After fighting for most of the day, we finally beat back the army of mutant creatures that were gathering.”

Chen Yiming stayed in the former location of the strange village and constantly received updates from the spiritual figure. At the same time, he waited for the opportunity to investigate the mysterious underground space again.

He had a feeling that the mysterious underground space was very special. This was because the 10,000-meter-long corpse that he dug out carried an endless amount of essence energy, and it had changed the cultivation environment in Jiangnan province.

This was very likely related to the world-level formation that the huge eye had mentioned. It was the opportunity he had been looking for to upgrade his double talents.

“There has been no movement on the surface of the sea in the direction of the oceanic trench. It seems that the war weapon has really fallen silent for the time being.”

As the sky gradually turned dark, Chen Yiming’s goal was achieved.

The arrival of the black tide had been triggered in advance. From the beginning of the official invasion of the blue planet, due to certain reasons, the war weapon and the mutant creatures could not make their moves at the same time. This allowed the humans to catch their breath.

The war weapon had forcefully trapped and killed the bone beast and the giant on the warhorse. This action seemed to be instilling the fear that the black tide’s arrival had brought to the blue planet.

However, the spiritual figure with abnormally strong combat strength had introduced an uncertain factor.

“Let’s wait a little longer. It’s unlikely that they will let me defeat the forces invading the blue planet. The black tide from outer space is not that simple.”

Chen Yiming thought for a moment and temporarily suppressed the thought of investigating the mysterious underground space.

Whether it was him or the spiritual figure, it was not suitable for them to disappear for too long at this time. He would think about it after he completely resolved the problem at hand.

…

On the Antarctic Continent, in the snow,

a warhorse more than two meters tall walked out of the ice cave. On it was a humanoid creature.

After being killed once, the giant on the warhorse no longer dared to act in a high-profile manner. It was forced to shrink to a very small size, afraid that it would be targeted.

“Fortunately, I didn’t impulsively take the bone beast’s treasure.”

Even if creatures at the level of the fusion realm were not good at spiritual control, they could still implant a portion of their consciousness in other creatures to create spies.

After the giant on the warhorse revived, other than contacting the firebird, the first thing it did was to create its own network of spies in the Daxia Kingdom and pay attention to the movements of the strongest human, Chen Yiming.

The firebird was captured on the sea and died in Jiangnan province not long after. This really frightened the giant on the warhorse.

If it continued to act in such a high-profile manner, it would be caught sooner or later. The fate of the firebird today might become its fate tomorrow.

“What should I do…”

Thinking of this, the giant on the warhorse was no longer in high spirits.

It had to be known that when it joined forces with the bone beast, it was filled with confidence. It had even planned its next step after escaping from this planet.

It had never expected this result to occur. At the moment, it was difficult to break through the blockade, and it had even formed a grudge with an existence that could suppress it. It was forced to hide away in frustration.

“Perhaps I can only find another partner to work with. Giant Eye, Snow Beast, Dire Wolf…”

One target after another flashed across its mind. The giant on the warhorse realized that the enemy was stronger than it was. It had to join forces with more creatures at the fusion realm to protect itself.

It was the same for the blockade. Without sufficient strength to protect themselves, if they were forced into a corner like the firebird, there was a high chance that they would die during their escape.

…

On the snowy mountain.

It was snowing heavily in the mountain range, and the entrance had been sealed up by ice crystals.

In the cavern within the mountains, the snow beast was no longer sleeping. Instead, it sat up. The air in front of it distorted, and the figure of the huge eye gradually appeared.

“Did it fail?”

In the face of the snow beast’s question, which seemed to have predicted this outcome, the huge eye’s face twitched. If not for the fact that it had been on high alert after suffering several losses, it might have been completely defeated this time.

“The divine sword has temporarily beaten back the mutant creature army, but the war weapon has not made any movements. That strongest human might face an unprecedented siege,” the snow beast continued.

As one of the strongest creatures from the dark forest world, the snow beast knew that not only had the surviving creatures at the fusion realm surrendered to the black tide, but a portion of the creatures at the fusion realm who had died in battle had also been revived as puppets.

It was precisely because these two forces had worked together with the war weapon that the dark forest world was unable to put up much of a resistance when the black tide invaded it for the second time. In a short period of time, their entire world had completely fallen.

In the eyes of the snow beast, if the strongest human could not obtain their help, when faced with the counterattack of the power of their entire world, he would only be faced with death sooner or later.

Of course, the snow beast did not want the strongest human, who had the most outstanding individual combat strength, to die before they could break through the blockade.

Before successfully breaking out of the encirclement, regardless of whether they had reached an agreement openly or secretly, they would be invisible allies in the face of the threat of the black tide.

“See for yourself!”

With that, the huge eye presented the scene of the human it had controlled trying to present the plan to work together.

The goddess and the world-level formation were the ultimate secrets of the dark forest world. However, even these could not move the strongest human. He did not seem to be very interested.

“Most of the foundation of the formation is under the control of the black tide. They might even have been used as bait by the black tide long ago. It’s normal for the strongest human to not be interested.”

The snow beast could tell at a glance what the problem was.

Of course, by replicating the world-level formation on this planet, they could undoubtedly break through the moon’s blockade and escape successfully.

However, this hope was too slim. The strongest human knew about this. No wonder they were investigating the location of the huge eye.

If their identities had been switched, the snow beast would have done the same thing. They would have wanted to cut the huge eye into pieces.

It was simply treating the other party as a fool. It was trying to trick the strongest human to go alone deep into the dark forest world that had already completely fallen into the hands of the black tide.

“With the divine sword in the hands of the strongest human being, along with our help, it shouldn’t be a problem to avoid the war weapon and snatch back a portion of the formation.”

The huge eye expressed its intention to seek cooperation.

The arrival of the black tide had only just begun, and only one blockade had been set up. There was no need for a complete world-level formation to have absolute confidence of breaking through the blockade.

However, before the divine sword almost killed the giant on the warhorse, none of the creatures at the fusion realm took the humans seriously.

Be it the bone beast, the snow beast, or the huge eye, they all had the thought of sacrificing humans. Not only did they not have a good relationship, but they also had a huge grudge against each other.

This life-and-death grudge could not be resolved once the bone beast and the giant on the warhorse set up the sacrificial array.

“The strongest human won’t be able to live for long. We have to quickly prepare to break through the blockade. At this time, we can forget about escaping without any casualties, and we can forget about something as unrealistic as the world-level formation,”

the snow beast said firmly. The black tide had already begun its invasion, and there was no time for any delay. They could be surrounded and killed at any moment.

“Alright, I’ll contact more guys at the fusion realm. At the very least, we can make a move before the strongest human is killed.”

The huge eye faced the void, as if it had traveled through time and seen a scene of darkness covering the entire planet.

In the end, the strongest human and the divine sword in his hand would be killed in a tag-team battle. Therefore, it completely abandoned the idea of recreating the world-level formation and decided to break out of the encirclement with the snow beast.

…

Just as Chen Yiming cleared out the mutant creatures that had gathered, the sky in the dark forest world suddenly darkened. The air seemed to have become as thick and oppressive as a swamp.

In the sky, many black shadows fell from the three glowing balls. These black shadows were surrounded by a black aura. It was unknown what they were, but they gave off the feeling that an apocalypse was about to arrive.

The dark forest world,

which had been invaded by the black tide twice and fallen to the enemy both times, was very mysterious to humans.

For example, the three glowing balls in the sky, the substances in the world that could help people cultivate, and the overall cultivation level that was much higher than that of humans, and the fact that the law of the jungle did not lead to a unified civilization.

There were too many mysteries. Originally, humans had established a stable, long-term stronghold, and their influence had begun to spread. There was a chance to unravel these mysteries.

However, with the arrival of the black tide, the human factions had completely retreated. Many of their guesses could only be sealed in the history museum and could not be verified.

Now, this world seemed to have suddenly come alive. It was like a sleeping beast had opened its mouth, revealing its sharp fangs and its true appearance.

Chen Yiming was the strongest human in history since the invasion of the otherworld.

His individual combat strength had long surpassed that of nuclear bombs, hydrogen bombs, laser weapons, and so on. He was the top in terms of cultivation talent and combat strength, even when compared with the technological weapons.

Ever since he rose to prominence, he had defeated all kinds of enemies, both on the blue planet and in the otherworld. His name made many creatures at the fusion realm retreat.

Now that the black tide had officially started, he was about to face all the pressure alone.

The abnormal commotion in the dark forest world was like a magnitude-12 earthquake that instantly spread to all the human countries.

This shocking news was like a butterfly flapping its wings, creating a hurricane that rushed out of the space-travel passages. From south to north, from east to west, it swept through all the human countries on the blue planet.

In just a few minutes, the countries could no longer forcefully suppress the news. Almost everyone in the world knew about it.

“I heard that the otherworld, which has already fallen into the black tide, is about to be controlled to invade the blue planet.”

“This is the power of an entire world. Do we still have time to finish building our spaceships?”

“I really want to see the scene on the battlefield with my own eyes. It’s said that the first batch of mutant creatures has already been scattered. Now, it’s one person against an entire world.”

Among the people, from the martial arts experts to the ordinary people, countless people were discussing the upcoming battle.

The scene of the battle on the surface of the sea not long ago was still lingering in the minds of countless people. They did not dare to imagine the scene of destruction if it affected the human countries.

Now, Chen Yiming had won the first battle on behalf of human civilization. Although they were worried, they also felt inexplicably excited.

What if he won?

The news reports had long been discussed by experts. After cultivating to a high level, there was a difference from those at the warrior realm. Quantity was no longer the key to victory.

For example, there were billions of people in the world. All the ordinary people and accomplished martial arts practitioners together were far from enough to deal with Chen Yiming.

No one knew if there was anyone stronger than Chen Yiming in the mysterious otherworld. However, at the very least, those who had come to the blue planet to take refuge were all hiding well.

If they needed to hide, wouldn’t that prove that Chen Yiming was invincible and had the ability to suppress his opponents?

In fact, some people even credited Chen Yiming for the disappearance of the war weapon. They felt that there was no need to worry anymore.

It was just an inanimate object. How could it compare to a living person who could continuously become stronger?

“Let’s go to the Daxia Kingdom, near the space-travel passages. In any case, if something goes wrong in a battle that involves the entire world, no place on the planet will be spared.”

Countless martial arts experts from all over the world could no longer sit still.

In any case, their lives were not in their control. They had already missed the previous battle on the sea. No one wanted to miss the unprecedented upcoming battle.

In other words, if the humans lost in the end, as a cultivator who had embarked on the path of martial arts, he would die without regrets after witnessing the battle with his own eyes.
