Chapter 385: Operation to Break Through the Blockade

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

“Darkness is about to envelop this world. First of all, we have to thank you, the strongest human, for standing at the front. Therefore, we promise that the human spaceships can break through the blockade with us without any worries.”

A low and powerful voice sounded, as if it was playing in the sky above the cities all over the world. Then, under the shocked gazes of countless people, in the distant sky, eight huge figures suddenly appeared.

As soon as these eight figures appeared, they turned the surrounding environment into a world of ice. There was the snow beast with ice crystal-like fur, the huge eye that humans were most familiar with, and the giant on the warhorse that humans thought were dead.

Other than that, the other five figures were completely unfamiliar to humans and had never revealed themselves before on the blue planet.

However, to be able to stand together with the huge eye, the snow beast, and the giant on the warhorse, with an aura like that of the vast sea, meant that these five figures were also creatures at the fusion realm.

“One, two, three… six, seven, eight.”

“A terrifying wolf beast made of metal, a divine turtle carrying an island, a golden three-legged golden toad, a spirit fox with three heads, and a huge crawling beast with a single horn.”

The humans all over the world were shocked. It turned out that there were already so many terrifying creatures hiding on this planet.

At the ground control center of the first industrial base, the top leader and the old general’s gazes were fixed on the image that was being transmitted back. Their previous guesses had become reality. As expected, there were more terrifying creatures than the ones that had been active on the surface.

“Are the terrifying creatures truly expressing their sincerity to the humans for some reason, or are they deliberately trying to get us to let our guard down?” the top leader said softly. His thoughts quickly ran through various possibilities.

First, he eliminated the possibility that they were specifically targeting the man-made spaceships. After all, the spaceships were just toys that could be easily destroyed by the terrifying creatures. They were not a threat to them, and destroying the spaceships would not benefit them.

“After escaping from the blue planet, there’s a high chance that our destinations will be different. It’s also unlikely for them to rope in humans to form an alliance and travel together in space.”

In the blink of an eye, the top leader checked the surveillance footage from before. A large number of spikes had suddenly exploded under the ruins of the strange mountain village.

The spikes were surrounded by an extremely elastic substance, although it didn’t break completely in the end, it trapped Chen Yiming.

However, the small number of blurry images captured by the camera, such as sword shadows flying through the air and tornadoes wreaking havoc, still gave one a psychological shock.

It had to be known that it was something that came from the black tide. Now, it was actually starting to show signs of breaking.

“Could it be that even though Chen Yiming is in a cage, he can still intimidate those terrifying creatures?”

The top leader could only come up with an explanation that did not seem realistic.

After breaking through the blockade, could Chen Yiming and the human spaceships really find and kill the terrifying creatures in the endless universe?

However, other than Chen Yiming, who represented the strongest human, there was no other human who could match up to the terrifying creatures.

The old general beside him had a serious expression and did not say a word.

Back then, the bone beast had tried to sacrifice the entire human civilization, creating an irreconcilable grudge between the two sides.

Now, were they going to believe the other party’s words so easily just because of a promise they made without any guarantee?

The sudden change in attitude of the terrifying creatures could be said to have created another huge problem for the humans.

If they trusted them, there would undoubtedly be many more escape routes for the man-made spaceships. If they did not trust them, they would have to consider avoiding the terrifying creatures and dealing with the unexpected situations that they would encounter during the escape.

After a long time, the top leader decided to believe in Chen Yiming. The situation underground must have changed the attitude of the terrifying creatures.

“Inform the captains of the three spaceships that there is an additional change to the plan to break out of the encirclement. We will no longer have to avoid the terrifying creatures.”

…

In the Arctic Sea, the eight terrifying creatures that gave their promise to the humans turned to look in the direction of the Pacific Ocean. To be precise, they looked towards the war weapon hidden in the oceanic trench.

As they were about to break out of the encirclement, not only did they have to consider the current situation, but they also had to think about the future.

“There are no signs of the war weapon moving at all. Those who surrendered from the dark forest world are also being held back by the strongest human.

There’s probably no better time for us to break out of the encirclement. We just need to deal with the huge mouth on the moon’s blockade,”

the huge eye said calmly. The ripple pattern forming its Undying Mark had actually returned to its original state. It seemed like it had been pretending to be weak and hiding it for a long time.

“That’s right. Compared to the time when you broke out of the encirclement, the situation seems to be much better. However, the risk of dragging it out is not small. We can’t drag it out forever.”

The divine turtle carrying an island on its back opened its rock-like mouth.

It had lived the longest among all the creatures present and was also the largest in size. If it retracted its limbs and head, it would truly be like an island.

Moreover, the divine turtle did not participate in the escape back then. It had been awake for a shorter time than the snow beast, and had been sleeping almost all the time. There seemed to be no end to its lifespan.

If not for the fact that the black tide had invaded the dark forest world for the second time and completely destroyed all chances of survival, the divine turtle would not have escaped to this planet and tried to break through the blockade.

“Old turtle, can you teach us the technique of long hibernation? I wonder how long it will take for us to reach a suitable planet after escaping into deep space.”

The fox with three heads had a different personality corresponding to each head. One of the heads smiled.

When one saw that smiling face, ordinary living beings would be subconsciously affected and inexplicably reply with their true thoughts.

However, this strange illusion technique seemed to have completely failed on the divine turtle.

“Fox, you have three consciousnesses. You can try to force two of them into a sleeping state. This way, not only will the consumption of your life force be reduced, but you can also observe the situation ahead for us.”

The long life of the divine turtle gave rise to its personality. It was not willing or used to beating around the bush.

Another head of the three-headed fox quickly said, “Old turtle, I’m afraid that’s a little difficult. If you let my older sister be in charge of observing the road ahead, I’m afraid she won’t be able to take it in half a day. In the end, she will definitely wake us two.”

“Oh? Then we can let one of you two take charge,” the turtle replied bluntly.

However, what greeted him was three chuckles. Clearly, the three-headed fox was teasing the serious turtle.

At this moment, the one-horned crawling beast released a long stream of air from its nostrils, scattering the clouds between them and the moon.

This action interrupted the smiling three-headed fox. It thought that the escape plan was about to begin, but when it looked in the direction of the volcano, it realized that there was no movement at all. Clearly, the foundation base had not been completely prepared.

“Big bug, what are you doing? You scared my sister,” one of the fox heads asked in an unfriendly tone. The other two heads also narrowed their eyes, clearly in a bad mood.

The one-horned crawling beast couldn’t be bothered with the three-headed fox and asked the giant on the warhorse, “Are you certain about the planet that can support life detected by the bone beast? Are you hiding anything?”

It had always felt uneasy because the bone beast had never been an honest person. Now that it was dead, who could guarantee that what it had said before was the truth?

Moreover, the only one who knew about the treasure, the giant on the warhorse, did not dare to claim it. It even used various excuses to brush it off. If it tricked everyone…

“What’s the use of asking me? I’m not good at this. Previously, it was only the bone beast who was investigating. The bone beast was sure that it detected signs of life from the planet.” The giant on the warhorse was a little angry, but its aura was not very strong.

Now that it was still in the recovery period, it did not have two lives like before. Coupled with the fact that it had fought the war weapon not long ago, it was even more unwilling to cause trouble.

“We’re different from the bone beast. We don’t want to spend all this time just to find a dead planet.”

The one-horned crawling beast was worried about this. What it needed to replenish its body’s energy was blood essence, not dead corpses.

Unable to get an answer from the giant on the warhorse, the one-horned crawling beast turned around and looked for the huge eye again.

The huge eye had comprehended the secret of the fusion realm on its own without relying on its talent to transform. Its ability was also good for the spiritual aspect, so it was the most suitable choice other than the dead bone beast.

Although the three-headed fox’s ability was also inclined towards the spiritual aspect, it was cunning and full of lies. The people present were afraid that the fox would act rashly at the critical moment, so how could they dare to hand over such a serious matter to it?

Next, it came to the most important matter after breaking out of the encirclement. Almost all the terrifying creatures had joined in the conversation about the direction they should go in before the formation was completed.

The dire wolf’s metallic eyes narrowed, and its four metallic paws froze in the air.

Unlike the other terrifying creatures who were enthusiastically discussing where to go, its gaze drifted to a certain direction from time to time. The commotion coming from underground was getting louder and louder.

“Is the fire spirit really out of its mind, or is it pretending to be stupid? Previously, it actually suggested skirting past the strongest human and taking another foundation base. If not for my refusal, we would have been screwed over.”

The terrifying creatures that had surrendered had brought the special sealed item. However, a period of time had passed, and the commotion from underground had not stopped. Clearly, the battle was still ongoing and even they could not stop the strongest human.

“It looks like that sealed item will be destroyed sooner or later. If that’s the case, will there be a better future for me if I work with the huge eye or the humans?”

As it thought about things, the dire wolf somehow had this thought. It had to be known that in the dark forest world, it was an existence that represented a killing machine.

However, the bone beast and the giant on the warhorse had a grudge against the humans. The huge eye and the snow beast also had a lot of conflict with the humans.

It had not made any moves since it arrived on this planet. It did nothing and had just been hiding in the dark.

However, if it lowered its head to the strongest human, wouldn’t it be the same as those weak creatures in the human world who were called “Man’s best friends”?

This made it difficult for the dire wolf, who was used to having the attitude of a king, to accept this. In its heart, it was more inclined to form an alliance with the humans. However, from the way the strongest human was getting stronger and stronger, he might not be interested in it.

“The huge eye once used its will to control a human to go and seek cooperation with him, and was almost chased down. If I rashly come into contact with the strongest human, what if I am forced to submit to him?”

Thinking of this, the dire wolf was suddenly a little confused.

The more the dire wolf thought about it, the more it felt that it should leave the huge eye and join the humans.

In its heart, it admitted that the strongest human was too terrifying. It was as if his potential was limitless, and he could always become stronger at critical moments. It was more optimistic about his future after breaking out of the encirclement.

Its only concern at the moment was that it was from the dark forest world, just like the bone beast. Although the bone beast was already dead, it had formed a huge grudge with humans.

The dire wolf was afraid that it would take the blame for the bone beast and be beaten to death on its behalf.

…

Time quickly passed by.

Suddenly, the entire planet shook slightly.

“The formation is ready.”

The topic of what came after the escape was immediately interrupted. The dire wolf also came back to its senses and temporarily suppressed the thought of betraying the others.

After the strongest human was sealed by the special sealed item, the terrifying spiritual soldiers split into two paths. The fire spirit was in charge of entering the core of the planet and activating the formation.

However, it was only one foundation base of the formation. It would take a long time to fully mobilize the power of the core to attack the huge mouth on the moon’s blockade. Now, it was finally ready.

According to the plan, the terrifying creatures present needed to fake an attack on the moon’s blockade. The fire spirit would continue to secretly find a suitable opportunity.

When the power of the core triggered by the formation hit the huge mouth, it would be the time for them to escape from the planet.

“According to the plan, you will be the first to attack, snow beast. Try your best to slow down the movements of the huge mouth on the moon’s blockade,” the huge eye reminded it.

“Of course.”

With that, the snow beast leaped into the air and charged into outer space. Its huge body did not seem to be affected by the gravity of the planet at all. Then, it took a deep breath and instantly swallowed up the clouds within a radius of 100 kilometers.

“Ice Seal on Heaven and Earth.”

A mouthful of hailstones was spat out by the snow beast, heading straight for the moon 10,000 kilometers away.

The moment the hail appeared, if the humans looked up, they would see that about a tenth of the area around the blue planet was freezing over.

If such a terrifying power of ice erupted in any country, the entire country would probably turn into a silent world of ice and snow.

Facing the sudden attack from someone at the level of the fusion realm, the moon moved. It was no longer floating quietly like a dead star.

“Roar!”

Accompanied by a roar that was similar to that of a beast, the air rippled, and the barrier disappeared. The chains on the surface of the moon broke one after another, and a huge mouth opened.

The huge mouth seemed to be rooted to the moon, with the moon as its main body. It emitted the terrifying aura of an abyss.

If Chen Yiming had seen this scene, he would have been shocked. Compared to it, the shadow mouth was like an infant.

In reality, the huge mouth was not completely controlled by the black tide. The terrifying creatures in the dark forest world had gotten this information from the goddess.

Therefore, a special type of chain was used to suppress most of the power of the huge mouth, which caused it to be in what was equivalent to a half-sealed state. In this state, the huge mouth could only project the shadow mouth to move around.

On the other hand, removing the chains required high-level orders. Clearly, the controller of the huge mouth had already seen through their intentions. If they had known that the terrifying creatures were going to break out of the encirclement, they would have removed all the restrictions on the huge mouth from the start.

“Although it’s not the most advantageous situation, and the huge mouth at the blockade has already been unsealed, our goal is only to break out of the encirclement.”

The huge eye was temporarily forced by the terrifying creatures to be the decision-maker for the team.

When it saw this situation, it did not panic. This was because the power of the core of the planet below was enough to fill the huge mouth until it could not move even if all the chains were unsealed.

In the blink of an eye, the hail exploded as it approached the moon. The terrifying power of the ice seal was like a wave larger than the diameter of the moon that wrapped around its target.

“It’s my turn.”

The three-legged golden toad followed the plan and leaped into outer space like the snow beast.

At the same time, its golden belly began to bulge, growing larger and larger.

When it rushed into space, its head and limbs had already completely sunken into its stomach. On the surface, it looked like a golden ball, just like a small sun.

Immediately after, its stomach began to shrink rapidly, and the three-legged golden toad spat out a golden ball.

The expressions of the creatures in the dark forest world changed when they saw the golden ball. Its hardness was unparalleled in their world, and it could easily destroy a continent with a single collision.

In history, there had been one such huge battle. One continent after another had been sunk to the bottom of the sea by the three-legged golden toad, and the terrain had changed drastically.

According to the plan, after the huge mouth swallowed the snow beast’s freezing power, the golden ball would give it a huge impact and knock it out temporarily.

“That is?”

The gazes of the entire world were attracted to the scene, and there was an uproar everywhere.

First, there was the terrifying power of ice, then there was a golden ball. The terrifying creatures had really started to break out of the encirclement, but what about the spaceships?

Countless gazes began to search for the city-level spacecraft that represented the first batch of the seeds of humanity.

In reality, after the three captains received the order to take off, they immediately pulled the joysticks to let the spaceships take off.

However, compared to the speed at which the terrifying creatures moved, it was as if the frames had been skipped. At this moment, they had just left the ground, the cities near the Daxia Kingdom could see the spaceships rising into the sky.

The snow beast took the lead, and the three-legged golden toad followed up with its attack. Finally, it was the divine turtle’s turn to finish things up.

The divine turtle with an island on its back moved its four legs, as if it could swim in the air and traveled straight into space. Then, it opened its rock-like mouth.

A huge amount of water spewed out of the turtle’s mouth. Of course, this water was not ordinary water. The turtle had the unique ability to refine the heavy water stored in its body.

Compared to an ordinary drop of water, the weight difference was thousands of times greater.

The heavy water attack was used as a form of insurance. Once the golden ball spat out by the three-legged golden toad did not have the desired effect, the heavy water attack would rely on its weight to delay the counterattack from the huge mouth.

After all, the huge mouth, which had been unsealed, was one level higher than the fusion realm. It was not something that the terrifying creatures could deal with for a long time.

Everything was going smoothly up to this point.

Just as all the chains were unsealed, the hail froze the entire moon and the huge mouth, turning it into a frozen land.

The scene lasted for a few seconds, as if a pause button had been pressed. However, the countless nervous gazes on it felt like half a minute had passed.

Time passed so slowly. Why didn’t the golden ball move faster?

“Bang, bang, bang…”

The silent land of ice exploded, and the huge mouth suddenly opened wide. A terrifying devouring power appeared, and all the ice on the surface of the moon disappeared in the blink of an eye, turning into a distorted vortex that was swallowed up.

At this moment, the golden ball arrived right on the dot. Although it was affected by the twisting vortex, it still accurately hit the upper jaw of the huge mouth.

The twisting vortex immediately collapsed, and the golden ball bounced back from the huge mouth.
