Chapter 2284 Strike Back When the Time Comes

The sky was filled with countless sparks beginning to fall, and the air was saturated with the sulfurous smell as if the world would be destroyed. Those insane ancient humans appeared here for just a few minutes but left them a gift.

“No. 1’s life level has broken through another tier!” The leader of the Blood Martialists and the president of the Universal Group exchanged glances. They could feel the power contained in this move from No. 1 ancient human, ten times stronger than before!

He was indeed giving the entire group of Guardians a warning!

No. 1 was certainly fearful of the power of the Ancient God, but he knew that growth is never achieved overnight. Even for him, recovering to his current strength took hundreds of years of dormancy.

This young man, inheriting the power of ancient humans, was still too weak, entirely insufficient to pose any threat to them. They still had plenty of time to slowly play with him. Today, they came just to intimidate this Guardian organization, while discovering Zhang Menglong was just an unexpected surprise.

“Boom!”

The first wave of meteors has fallen, and the entire base immediately activated its defense system. This Guardian base almost represented the pinnacle of human technological power, and its defense capabilities far exceeded that of the gravity shield of the Loulan Holy State.

The areas touched by the meteor shower instantly flickered with dazzling flames, and the entire ground trembled.

“President, our shield can’t withstand these meteors!”

The president of the Universal Group was not surprised by this result. These were not ordinary meteors; they were terrifying attacks condensed by No. 1 ancient human using his energy. The power contained in each of these meteors was enough to easily kill an ordinary peak Dominator.

And the number of these meteors was in the thousands, likely causing over ten minutes of continuous bombardment on the entire base!

“Shield threshold 17.8%.”

“23.1%.”

“25.2%.”

The threshold data of the base’s defense system kept rising. Once it reached 100%, the defense system would be completely destroyed. At this rate, it couldn’t even last three minutes!

“Take action!”

The leader of the Blood Martialists and the president of the Universal Group understood that if they didn’t take action, the headquarters would face devastating damage today!

The leader of the Blood Martialists appeared with a massive battle axe. He conjured a huge phantom like an unparalleled Demon God, blocking large amounts of meteors from reaching the base with each strike.

Meanwhile, the president of the Universal Group appeared much more refined. His weapon was two small, delicate guns, seemingly only the size of ordinary pistols, but driven by the power within his body, each blast could effortlessly shatter a meteor.

Their pairing was very interesting, one acting as a tank, the other as a shooter, managing to block the meteor shower about 10 kilometers above the ground.

Though they appeared relaxed, they were in fact nearing their limits. Upon closer inspection, the leader of the Blood Martialists’ hands gripping the battle axe had started to tremble slightly, and the shooting speed of the Universal Group president was also slowing down.

Fortunately, the situation here seemed to have been communicated to a few other key figures; as the two were hardly able to hold on any longer, several other giants arrived!

“Come and help!” Seeing them, the nerves of the two finally loosened a bit, and the base was saved!

…

After more than ten minutes, everyone sat down breathlessly, their expressions no longer as calm and composed as before.

Though the base wasn’t completely destroyed, the defense system was shattered. Apart from the central area, 12% of the peripheral area was damaged.

It’s not that they were too weak; they were all superpowers dominating their own territories, representing the peak combat power of the continent.

But No. 1 ancient human’s power had advanced too much this time, completely widening the originally minor gap between them.

Perhaps he had just made the breakthrough, and his realm was unstable, considering that others would come to aid immediately. Otherwise, with his power alone, he could possibly have outright destroyed this base today.

“Jin Zhai, how confident are you now that you can defeat No. 1?”

Jin Zhai, recognized as the most powerful among this group of giants, was also the dean of the Saint Song Academy.

“You overestimate me,” Jin Zhai shook his head. “During our last encounter, I couldn’t suppress him anymore. Judging by the power of this attack, I couldn’t last ten minutes with him!”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions turned extremely solemn.

“Don’t look so grim, smile guys!”

At this moment, a young voice broke the impasse.

Everyone turned back and saw Zhang Menglong standing behind them, having unknowingly left his training room, smiling brightly at them.

“When did you come out?”

They were hugely shocked. With their peak Dominator-level strength, they hadn’t noticed that Zhang Menglong had completed his breakthrough and was now behind them.

“Just now,” Zhang Menglong said. “What happened just now? Did they come?”

Though the core area of the base hadn’t suffered substantial damage, the air was still filled with abundant energy remnants, and the earth-shaking tremors were impossible to miss, even indoors.

“It was No. 1,” the president of the Universal Group replied. “He came to demonstrate his might; he has become stronger again.”

“Why fear? We’ll just fight back when the time comes,” Zhang Menglong had completely broken through to the Dominator level now, feeling his body had transformed significantly, and could even clearly sense the limits of everyone’s power here.

This indicated that although Zhang Menglong’s power might not be stronger than theirs, the gap wouldn’t be too large.

“Maybe when I break through to Dominator Tier 2, they won’t be my match.” Zhang Menglong murmured, yet he knew the energy required for that would be incredibly daunting, at least ten times more than during his current breakthrough, but he had already used up a year’s worth of Universal Group’s production.

They could sense the dramatic change in Zhang Menglong and the fearsome power within his body, but they were well aware that Zhang Menglong was currently no match for No. 1.

“Is the batch of materials I requested ready?” Zhang Menglong asked the president of the Universal Group.

The latter nodded, “All gathered on the second day of your retreat.”

The president of the Universal Group handed Zhang Menglong a space storage device, “What exactly do you need these things for?”

“Of course, it’s to help you upgrade the hardware!” Zhang Menglong smiled, “Give me a few more days. Didn’t they come to show off today? Then we’ll fight back and eliminate them all!”
