Chapter 272: Chapter 272: People Arrive from the Military Department and the Department of Education, Is Chu Sheng to Be Possessed?
What?
Em… Emperor Level.
The moment he heard those two words, Qi Chongshan felt as if he’d been struck by lightning—as though Lei Xiaotian’s earlier punch had just landed on him.
The power of the Alien Race is also divided into levels.
The Human Race generally classifies them using their own corresponding power levels.
Members of the Alien Race, even without Cultivation, possess strength equivalent to a human’s High Grade Realm just by reaching adulthood.
In other words, they are born with the ability to control the Power of Heaven and Earth, converting it into a type of High-Level Energy.
The stronger they become, the higher the level of the Energy they control!
And since the Energy that just appeared on the Space Array was able to suppress the Thunder Emperor’s Thunder Power, there could only be one possibility!
Emperor Level!
Only an Emperor-level Alien Race being could control and wield such Energy.
At this thought, a dreadful fear rose in the hearts of Lei Xiaotian and Qi Chongshan!
’How could an Emperor-level alien appear in Sui Ming Province?’
’And what is its purpose for being here?’
“This won’t do!”
“I must immediately report this situation to the Military Department!”
At this moment, Lei Xiaotian could no longer worry about Gu Yuexi’s safety!
If an alien were to appear within Great Xia, the consequences would be unimaginable.
He flipped his palm, and a Communication Talisman engraved with the Military Department’s insignia appeared in it. As he injected it with Thunder Spiritual Power, the talisman immediately lit up. Then, in a grim voice, Lei Xiaotian reported every detail of the situation.
Seeing Lei Xiaotian’s action, the last shred of wishful thinking in Qi Chongshan’s heart was completely shattered.
He, too, took out a Talisman and injected it with Mental Power!
This Talisman was exclusive to the Governor. When lit, it opened a direct line to the Great Xia Education Headquarters. A provincial Governor would only use such a high-level means of communication in the most dire of crises.
And what was considered the most dire of crises?
A crisis that threatened to wipe out the entire province!
Or even one that concerned the very survival of Great Xia itself!
After they both finished their reports, they exchanged a look, each seeing the profound gravity in the other’s eyes.
Qi Chongshan gritted his teeth and spoke:
“With an alien of this power level appearing… Gu Yuexi, and that mosquito… could they possibly still be alive?”
Lei Xiaotian let out a cold snort and didn’t reply.
’Alive?’
’Even he would be slain if he encountered an Emperor-level alien.’
’In his mind, Gu Yuexi and the mosquito were already dead.’
’He wanted to blame Qi Chongshan for his recklessness, but there was no point in saying anything now.’
…
「Great Xia Military Department, Frontline Command Center.」
An elderly man in full military dress, his epaulets decorated with golden medals, sat behind a wide desk, reviewing reports from the front lines.
His expression was serene, his eyes profound, as if they held a history of countless storms.
Suddenly, a rapid yet restrained knock sounded at the door.
“Come in.”
A field officer with a grave expression pushed open the door, strode to the desk, and silently placed a newly-decrypted file in front of the elderly man.
The elderly man’s gaze swept over the document, and the fingers that had been steadily turning pages paused for a moment.
The document contained only a few short lines, yet they carried immense weight.
Sui Ming Province. Suspected Emperor-level alien presence.
The elderly man fell silent for a moment and closed his eyes.
A few seconds later, he opened his eyes again, his gaze as sharp as an eagle’s.
He stood up, walked quickly to the huge map of Great Xia’s territory on the wall, and circled the location of Sui Ming Province.
’Is Great Xia about to gain another battlefield?’
He let out a sigh, then suddenly spoke. His voice was quiet, yet it was filled with a chilling solemnity:
“Send Li Zhantian. Give him full authority.”
“If necessary, he may use… any means necessary.”
…
「At the same time.」
Inside an office at the Great Xia Education Headquarters.
Director-General Xiao Zhiyuan was reviewing a top-secret dossier on ancient Bloodline research.
Suddenly!
An archaic ring on his finger suddenly pulsed with intense Mental Power.
Xiao Zhiyuan’s expression changed, and he immediately immersed his Mental Power into it.
A moment later, his expression turned exceedingly grim.
’Emperor-level alien… Gu Yuexi… and that mosquito.’
Without alerting too many people, Xiao Zhiyuan considered for a moment, then picked up a uniquely shaped Communication Jade Slip and spoke into it:
“Go to Sui Ming Province. Spare no effort in rescuing Gu Yuexi and the Divine Mosquito.”
“At the very least, retrieve the mosquito’s body!”
…
「Outside the Chen Family’s Ancient Mansion.」
Merely tens of seconds after Lei Xiaotian and Qi Chongshan sent out their calls for help!
BOOM!
CRACK!
Space shattered again.
Two figures appeared, one after the other, in the sky above the Ancient Mansion.
One of them was dressed in combat attire, radiating a baleful aura as if he had just stepped off a battlefield. The power he exuded was terrifying to the extreme, far surpassing that of the Thunder Emperor.
This was none other than Li Zhantian, one of the Military Department’s War Gods, known to the Alien Race as the God of Slaughter!
Peak of Emperor Realm.
The other man had a much more scholarly air, an ordinary-looking, middle-aged man. Yet the faint ripples of power he exuded revealed that he, too, was at the Peak of Emperor Realm!
With such a crisis, why not send an Emperor Level expert?
Heh.
There were only eight Emperor Level experts in all of Great Xia, and each of them was currently occupied with a more important task or mission. How could they possibly break away so easily?
The situation in Sui Ming Province was merely a *suspected* appearance of an Emperor-level alien.
The fact that the Military Department and the Education Headquarters had dispatched two experts at the Peak of Emperor Realm was already a testament to how seriously they were taking the matter!
As soon as the two Peak of Emperor Level experts appeared, their gazes instantly locked onto the spatial barrier within the Ancient Mansion.
“Indeed, this is an Energy Level that only an Emperor-level alien could manifest.”
A look passed between the two of them, and they descended to the ground.
Lei Xiaotian and Qi Chongshan hurried to greet them.
After hearing Qi Chongshan’s full report, the expression of the middle-aged man, who had been relatively calm until now, changed drastically.
“This isn’t some Emperor-level alien!”
“It’s… a god!”
“It is an existence with a will that surpasses the Emperor Level.”
“Only an alien of this caliber is capable of descending to Blue Star through a special projection of its will!”
“The Chen Family must have communicated with the will of some supreme-level alien!”
What?
Everyone shuddered as they listened to the deduction from the middle-aged man—Li Daoyi of the Great Xia Education Headquarters.
However, Li Daoyi quickly added,
“Everyone, do not be alarmed!”
“An ordinary human body cannot possibly host an alien entity of this level. Therefore, it can only descend as a projection of its will, at most.”
“Its actual power might not even match that of an Emperor-level alien.”
“But.”
Li Daoyi’s tone grew serious once more.
“An existence like this can open a new rift into an Alternate Space. If that happens, Sui Ming Province will become another battlefield against the Alien Race!”
“I suspect this alien sealed off this area precisely to open a rift to an Alternate Space and summon its kin.”
Hearing this, Qi Chongshan’s face instantly turned deathly pale.
“Then what do we do?”
If a battlefield were to open up in the interior of Great Xia, it would put the entire nation in an extremely precarious position!
“What do we do?”
Li Zhantian sneered, his voice as cold as ice:
“Why not just slaughter that bullshit ’god’ and be done with it?”
“With all of us here, even if we can’t break this Array, we can still brute-force its destruction!”
’Brute-force its destruction?’
Li Daoyi nodded.
“The Fierce War God and I, working together, should indeed be able to do it.”
“However, if we detonate the Space Array by force, I’m afraid everything for hundreds of miles in every direction will be annihilated.”
“And Gu Yuexi and the mosquito inside… I’m afraid they would also perish!”
…
「Meanwhile.」
Just as the group outside was discussing how to resolve the matter…
Inside the Ancient Mansion, deep within the sacrificial altar…
The bodies of Gu Yuexi and Chu Sheng were already bound in mid-air, restrained by a formidable Spatial Power.
This Spatial Power had clearly touched upon the Origin itself. As a result, not even Chu Sheng could move!
Chen Ming’s figure floated into the air, his eerie eyes gazing at the human and beast before him.
“Two bodies… which one should I choose?”
