Great Xia Military Department, Supreme Underground Command Center.

The command center was in total chaos.

"Beep—Beep—Beep—!"

The red highest-level alarm blared through the hall. On the holographic projection screen, red dots representing enemy energy fluctuations were densely interwoven, their crimson glow illuminating the entire command center.

"Report! The enemy's energy index has once again broken through the detection limit! The instrument's core array is starting to overload!"

A technician sitting at the detection console stood up, clutching his headset with both hands. His face was pale, and his voice trembled.

"Officer Chen! The detection results are out... This, this is simply impossible!"

Chen Huaishu strode to the console, pressed his hands on the table, stared at the screen, and shouted, "Speak! What exactly is the situation!"

"The Ranks of these people... are all ridiculously high!" The technician swallowed hard. "According to the life-wave feedback, among these dozens of people, the lowest is above Rank 85! And..."

"And, there are five SS-Rank Professionals among them! Five of them!"

"What did you say?!"

Chen Huaishu's face darkened, and he couldn't help but sway.

Five SS-Ranks?!

Plus dozens of top-tier S-Class Professionals over Rank 85?!

Looking at the data on the screen, Chen Huaishu slumped back into his chair.

In this era, Great Xia's highest apparent combat power consisted of Marshal Zhao Qingcang and Principal Lin Zhu, who had just rushed into the sky. The two of them were powerful, but facing such a quantity and level of high-dimensional suppression, this was not a situation they could handle!

"Quick! Issue a death order to the surrounding defense zones!" Chen Huaishu turned and roared at the communications officer. "Mobilize the defense teams from Jinmen, Jizhou, and all other surrounding cities! Draw all the high-level Professionals who can fly and have them support the Imperial Capital at any cost!"

"Officer, it will take at least twenty minutes for the surrounding teams to arrive, and... facing SS-Ranks, conventional units can't even get close to their high-dimensional pressure range!" The communications officer tapped the keyboard, drenched in sweat.

"Even if you can't, you must! Fill the gap with lives! Use the Magical Cannons—" Chen Huaishu tore open the collar of his military uniform, gasping for breath, then turned to another adjutant. "What about the Ever-changing Star Lord?! I told you to contact the Ever-changing Star Lord, have you reached him yet?!"

The adjutant's face was ashen as he shook his head.

"Officer Chen... We just received news from the Star Pavilion... Lord Ever-changing Star Lord... left Great Xia this morning. His current whereabouts are unknown. Communication jade talismans and System private chats have all gone unanswered; we simply cannot initiate contact with him!"

"Left Great Xia? At this exact moment?!"

Chen Huaishu clenched his fists.

He looked up, peering through the layers of surveillance screens in the underground base, gazing at the oppressive black clouds high in the sky.

"No matter what method you use, whether it's the highest-level spatial sound transmission Formation or sending suicide squads to search the major ruins, you must contact the Ever-changing Star Lord for me!" Chen Huaishu said through gritted teeth.

"This kind of destructive power that transcends dimensions... now only he, only he can solve the trouble Great Xia is facing! Go! Hurry!"

Meanwhile, thousands of meters up in the sky.

The gale howled shrilly in their ears.

Zhao Qingcang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, enduring the backlash from the Spatial Grand Shift skill he had just performed, his body still standing tall in mid-air.

With a somber face, he stared at the dozens of powerhouses ahead who were radiating intense pressure.

"You people..." Qingcang panted, "What exactly do you want?!"

"What do we want?"

A tall, thin man standing behind the black-robed Grand Elder stepped forward. He crossed his arms and sneered.

"Ants of the present world, why do you still dare to speak to us in such a tone at a time like this?"

The thin man raised his chin, sizing up Zhao Qingcang and Lin Zhu nearby. "Did barely taking a strike with thirty percent of Batu's power just now give you some unrealistic delusions? Where exactly do you get the nerve to stand here and question us?"

He let out a cold laugh.

"If I were you, I would have bowed down long ago, lowering my posture like a dog on the ground! Even now, how can you still not understand the situation? Before the glory of the old era, your proud SS-Rank status is as fragile as a joke!"

Zhao Qingcang's eyes widened, and the silver Law of Space surged violently around him. "Great Xia soldiers would rather die standing than live kneeling!"

"Forget it."

The black-robed Grand Elder, who had been watching coldly, frowned.

He casually waved his wide sleeves.

"Stop wasting words on them; it's a waste of our time."

The Grand Elder looked at the two of them. "Kill them both. As for those clansmen captured by them, we will search the city ourselves to find them."

He looked down at the massive city below.

"To dare oppose our Ancient Remnant Clan and treat our people as prisoners... you ignorant crawlers and the powerhouses of Great Xia have no reason to be left alive."

Then, the Grand Elder turned his head and called the names of the earth-element burly man and the thin man.

"Batu, Sike."

"Here!" the two responded in unison.

The Grand Elder closed his eyes and said, "Go and deal with the two of them. Remember, make it quick; don't let the ants below enjoy the joke for too long."

"Understood, Grand Elder!"

Hearing this, the earth-element burly man named Batu cracked his thick neck, his bones making a tooth-aching crackling sound.

"I've been sick of these two posturing fellows for a long time!"

Batu gave a cruel smile, and a layer of dark yellow Earth Origin Law erupted from his body.

Boom!

He kicked off into the Void Realm with his thick legs, and ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) the air beneath his feet was actually stepped into a visible white sonic boom cloud!

Batu was the first to charge out of the crowd, his massive body carrying destructive kinetic energy as he headed straight for Zhao Qingcang's face!

"Die! You Great Xia bug!"

Facing the charging Batu, Zhao Qingcang stepped forward to meet him.

"Want to kill me?! It won't be that easy!"

Zhao Qingcang roared and clapped his hands together in front of his chest.

"Buzz—!"

A pair of specially-made metal gauntlets emitting a silver ghostly glow covered his fists.

This was the legendary weapon custom-made for him by the Great Xia Military Department with all their resources—the Void-Rending Gauntlets!

"Lin Zhu, get back! Don't let him get close!"

Zhao Qingcang shouted, advancing instead of retreating!

He frantically poured all his remaining mana into the gauntlets, and the silver Law of Space was highly compressed, forming an extremely sharp spatial cutting edge on the surface of the gauntlets!

Bang!

Zhao Qingcang met the charging Batu, his fists carrying destructive power as they slammed head-on into the other's heavy fist, which was even larger than a clay pot!

"Rumble—!!!"

The sky was completely torn through! 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

The collision of flesh against flesh, the frantic strangulation between the Law of Space and the Earth Origin!

A terrifying energy shockwave, starting from the center of their collision, swept and spread frantically in all directions!

Crack! Crack!

The Void Realm within a radius of hundreds of meters split open into countless spatial rifts under the pressure of the force!

"Pfft—!"

Under the hard impact, Zhao Qingcang's already injured internal organs were severely damaged. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his whole body was shaken back dozens of meters by the overwhelming force, plowing two deep white airwaves in the atmosphere.

But with this punch, he also forcibly halted Batu's unstoppable charge!

However, the aftermath of the powerful force erupted by the two thousands of meters in the sky smashed unreservedly toward the Imperial Capital below.

"Buzz—Buzz—Buzz—!"

The pale blue city defense Formation covering the Imperial Capital, maintained by over a hundred Advanced Formation Masters, vibrated violently under the sweep of the shockwave!

Intense ripples appeared on the surface of the thick light shield, and countless fine cracks spread frantically across the light screen. The entire defense Formation flickered, swaying as if it were about to collapse completely!
