Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!
The next second, outside the atmosphere, dozens of dark lights accelerated to the extreme, like spears thrown by gods, with a shrill whistling sound that tore through the air, accurately smashed into the most densely populated area of the beast tide, especially the heads of those king-level Devouring Beasts.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Each streak of dark light that landed triggered a shockwave comparable to a large bomb, blasting large craters into the ground. Any Devouring Beasts within the area, whether ordinary or mutated, were instantly crushed into mincemeat by the unparalleled physical force.
Several king-level creatures were hit, their supposedly indestructible bone plates shattered like paper, their massive bodies were smashed into deep pits, and their core spiritual seeds instantly dimmed.
Immediately afterwards, a figure wreathed in dark red energy lightning appeared in the center of the battlefield at a speed beyond visual perception, as if teleporting – it was Chen Yuan.
Chapter 241 Crush by Strength
Electromagnetic gravitational field!
"Buzz!"
A terrifying gravitational force, two hundred and ten times stronger than normal, suddenly descended upon him.
Hundreds of Devouring Beasts within range, including several nearby King-level beasts, were as if pressed down by an invisible mountain. Their movements were instantly slowed, and then they were crushed to the ground, their bones cracking like popping beans.
"It's City Lord Chen Yuan, he's here."
Inside the command center, Dr. Elena excitedly grabbed Commander Lin's arm.
Commander Lin looked at the god-like figure on the holographic screen and breathed a heavy sigh of relief, but his heart immediately jumped again.
No matter how strong Chen Yuan is, can he face the remaining dozens of monarch-level beasts alone?
Are other support personnel still behind?
Chen Yuan shifted his gaze, locking onto the strongest King-level Devouring Beast.
"Spatial Blade. Multiple Slashes!"
He made a grasping motion with both hands, and countless sharp blades that tore through space instantly appeared, traversing hundreds of meters and invisiblely slashing towards the energy organs on the back of this monarch-level being that were spewing plasma breath.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft!"
Those hard energy organs were severed at the root, and the monarch-level creature let out a deafening roar of pain, its plasma breath abruptly ceasing.
It turned violently, its giant, scarlet eyes fixed on Chen Yuan in the air, its remaining energy frantically gathering in its mouth, preparing for a final desperate attempt.
"court death."
Chen Yuan snorted coldly, then raised his right arm horizontally, and the nano-core particles gathered as if boiling.
"Nano Core, Matter Return Cannon!"
A pitch-black sphere, constantly collapsing inward and seemingly capable of swallowing even light, condensed in Chen Yuan's palm and then shot out silently.
The moment the black sphere touched the king-level head, its hard skull, its core filled with destructive energy, and even the surrounding space began to silently disintegrate and disappear, as if wiped away by an invisible hand.
The fifth-tier peak monarch-level being vanished from the world before even uttering a final wail.
This scene completely shocked everyone at the Jiuchuan base.
Without the slightest pause, Chen Yuan, like the embodiment of death, teleported with lightning speed, traversing the battlefield with unbridled speed.
The Molecular Disintegration Sword was swung, a dark red arc of light flashed, and the core of a monarch-level creature was easily pierced, its massive body rapidly withering away.
The super-high temperature plasma storm and absolute zero freezing ray were used alternately to burn one of the other two monarch-level creatures into charcoal and freeze the other into an ice sculpture. Then, the multi-dimensional blade was used to shatter the core.
With his left hand firing pulse-shaped energy cannons in bursts, and his right hand clearing the field with nano-explosive armor-piercing barrages, his efficiency was outrageously high.
Wherever he went, even king-level Devouring Beasts could not withstand him, and the massive beast tide decreased at a visible rate.
With no Emperor-level beings appearing, Monarch-level beings are no longer a threat to Chen Yuan.
Before long, Chen Yuan had killed all the king-level beasts, and the remaining beasts began to flee in disarray.
"Lord Chen Yuan is mighty!"
"Lord Chen, you're awesome!"
The surviving soldiers of Hisakawa Base erupted in cheers of relief.
Chen Yuan slowly landed in front of the damaged base gate and looked at Commander Lin, Dr. Elena, and others who came out to greet him.
"The crisis is temporarily over, but it's hard to say what will happen in the future. We must find a way to completely eliminate this hidden danger," Chen Yuan thought to himself.
Commander Lin looked at the young man before him, who had saved their base from disaster time and time again, took a deep breath, and solemnly gave a military salute:
"All officers and soldiers of Jiuchuan Base thank you for your assistance."
After this battle, Chen Yuan's prestige and strength reached their peak.
[Statistics complete: Mr. Chen eliminated a total of 128547 ordinary and mutated Devouring Beasts, earning 1285470 survival points.]
[Exterminated 37 early-stage Tier 5 Monarch-level Devouring Beasts, gaining 3700000 Survival Points.]
[Exterminated 25 mid-stage Tier 5 Monarch-level Devouring Beasts, gaining 3750000 Survival Points.]
[Exterminated 18 late-stage Tier 5 Monarch-level Devouring Beasts, gaining 4500000 Survival Points.]
[Destroyed one Tier 1 Peak Monarch-level Devouring Beast, gaining 1000000 Survival Points.]
[A total of 14235470 survival points were earned in this operation.]
[Current Survival Points Balance: 31385470 points. (Inherited from previous Moon accumulation and partial surplus)]
This gain of over 14 million points has once again made Chen Yuan's survival points plentiful.
He glanced at the soldiers who were scavenging the battlefield and treating the wounded, and made his decision.
"System, open the shop and redeem 100 combat mechs for me."
"Filtering in progress..."
"Select combat units: nano-core constructs, mechs with basic AI autonomous combat capabilities. Please review."
The list scrolled rapidly, and Chen Yuan locked one option.
[T-800 Nanocore Combat Mech.]
[Description: A humanoid combat mech approximately 2.5 meters tall, constructed primarily of self-repairing nanomaterials, equipped with a standard energy rifle and a high-frequency particle saber. It has built-in basic combat AI, capable of patrolling, defending, and coordinating combat commands. Strength assessment: Peak Tier 4.]
[Exchange Price: 200000 Survival Points per unit.]
"Exchange quantity: 100 units."
[Confirmed consumption of 2 million survival points to exchange for 100 T-800 Nanocore Combat Units?]
"confirm."
In an instant, countless silver nanoparticles seemed to surge out of the void from an open space in front of Chen Yuan, and then quickly gathered and shaped themselves.
Under the astonished gazes of Commander Lin Zhenguo, Dr. Elena, and all the members of the Jiuchuan Base, one hundred silver-gray nanomachines with sharp lines and cold blue eyes appeared out of nowhere and lined up neatly in just a few dozen seconds.
They stood there silently, like an army from the future, exuding a reassuring aura of steely resolve.
"Commander Lin, Dr. Elena."
Chen Yuan turned to the two who were still in shock and said, "These one hundred nano-combat mechs will be temporarily left to you. They will follow the unified command of Dragon Core to assist you in guarding the base, carrying out reconstruction and patrols, which is enough to deal with ordinary beast tide harassment."
"Even if there are still monarch-level mechs, these mech warriors can hold out for a while, and then someone will naturally come to our aid."
Commander Lin looked at the steel legion that had appeared out of nowhere, his lips trembling with excitement: "Mr. Chen Yuan, this...this is just in time. With them, the base's safety is assured."
Dr. Elena circled a T-800, her eyes filled with the fervor of a researcher: "The perfect structure, the near-perfect repairability, this technology is far beyond our comprehension."
Chen Yuan nodded slightly: "These are only temporary safeguards. True security requires us to unite all human forces. Alright, that's all for now. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave."
After saying that, Chen Yuan acted swiftly and flew away.
Next, he was going to the Coastal Alliance to find Cangming. Since he had subdued them last time, Chen Yuan had sent them back to their lair to continue raising sea beasts, which would be of great use in the future.
After this period of fighting, and before leaving, Chen Yuan left them a gene potion research plan that they could exchange for in the system, which actually enabled them to develop a stronger gene potion.
(Although the system has a special shop where you can find special items, those are rare and hard to come by. Through normal channels, you can only exchange for weapons and mechs.)
Their strength improved further, and Cangming and the others all surpassed the fifth rank, becoming sixth-rank powerhouses.
Cangming has reached the mid-stage of the sixth rank, while the other three are just at the early stage of the sixth rank.
Chen Yuan was very satisfied with this; he could take these people to the moon to pave the way for his later plans.
Chapter 242 Upgrading the Dragon Core
Since the crisis of the last King-class beast tide besieging the Hisakawa base, Earth's Mana ecosystem seems to have entered a new period of activity.
The concentration of scarlet pigment in the air has increased significantly, acting like an invisible catalyst to subtly influence the remaining humans, suggesting the presence of another kind of residual human energy.
Perhaps it is because of these changes that the emergence of awakened individuals is no longer a rare occurrence, but rather begins to show an almost regular pattern of emergence.
In Dragonbone Village, a young Dragonbone Village warrior found his hands ablaze with flames during training.
At the Jiuchuan base, an engineer responsible for maintaining the energy barrier unexpectedly resonated briefly with the base's energy network at the moment the barrier overloaded, sensing the flow of every energy stream within it.
The lighthouse tells the story of a child chasing and playing with other children when he suddenly falls asleep. Upon waking, he gains mental abilities.
Although the abilities awakened by these people varied in strength and control, this wave undoubtedly gave the surviving humans a shot in the arm.
It gave them hope, hope for the future and for living.
Longgu Village, morning exercise area.
Chen Yuan and Bai Yuekui stood side by side, watching as some newly awakened villagers, under the guidance of Shan Da and others, tried their best to control the power they had just acquired, which was still restless.
"The scarlet pigment in the air is becoming increasingly active."
Bai Yuekui said calmly, "The threshold for awakening is lowering, but the danger is increasing day by day. Perhaps one day, I will not be able to protect the village either."
Chen Yuan's gaze was deep: "I'm already thinking of a solution. There is one, but it requires a lot of points. It should be enough time. I'm here with you today for another matter: the Returning Origin Technique."
Bai Yuekui turned his head slightly and looked at Chen Yuan, saying, "You want to learn? Guiyuan Gong originates from a secret internal martial arts school in the old era. It emphasizes embracing the original essence and returning to the source, aiming to harmonize the body and mind and stimulate the body's own potential. It can indeed make it easier for people to enter deep meditation, perceive and guide the life essence in the body, and has a certain miraculous effect on the stable improvement of awakened people and abilities. However, this technique has extremely high requirements for temperament and progresses slowly."
"It doesn't matter."
Chen Yuan said calmly, "We should try anything that can improve our power level. Moreover, if we can simplify and promote it, it will be a strategic improvement for the entire human race. I will make the arrangements."
Bai Yuekui said no more and quickly brought out the Guiyuan Gong, its written instructions, including Bai Yuekui's insights and essence from years of practice.
After obtaining the Guiyuan Technique, Chen Yuan did not immediately begin cultivating it.
