Chapter 164: The Abyss Descends! (Two-in-one, please subscribe)

"What?"

"A Space-Time Rift has appeared in the waters of Bangzi Country?"

"Quick, call all the ministers over immediately!"

"And that person from the Kamo Jia, notify him at once as well!"

In Sakura Capital, the Prime Minister of Sakura Country, who had just prepared to go on vacation to play golf, knew his vacation would be delayed again after seeing the top-secret intelligence handed over by his secretary.

At the same time, Flower Flag Country, Ouluoba, and all major powers capable of monitoring anomalies on the sea surface also took action.

And this time, they were clearly much more nervous.

After all, no matter how one looked at it, what that Space-Time Rift on the sea represented was far from comparable to other extraordinary anomalous events.

The depth of the impact of confirming an alien world was enough to decide many changes in major political policies tonight.

If nothing else, at least the industrial sector would receive attention once again.

The construction and recruitment plans for the military industry and related sectors—from mining up to manufacturing plants and even technical colleges—could be described as a complete upheaval.

Of course, the most nervous ones right now were Bangzi Country and Flower Flag Country.

One was right on its own coastline, where one could see that terrifying and eerie Space-Time Rift with the naked eye while standing on the beach.

The other had a military base in Bangzi Country, with tens of thousands of troops stationed right there.

If something really happened, they would have to step up even if they didn't want to; after all, if monsters really rushed out, they likely wouldn't care whether they were slaughtering people from Bangzi Country or Flower Flag Country.

Because of this, although they did not send troops to the front line.

The military base of Flower Flag Country still entered a state of Level 1 alert.

Even Sakura Country and several other military bases further away also entered a state of alert and began preparations for aerial sorties to provide air strikes for the front line.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

The Space-Time Rift entered a state of full expansion.

It transformed into an eye-shaped rift over a thousand meters high, with its width changing from a single line at the beginning to over a hundred meters at its widest point and about twenty meters at its narrowest.

A low, deep sound emanated from the rift, and every living creature that heard this sound instinctively began to flee.

Underwater drone submersibles noticed one after another that the schools of fish, shrimp, and crabs in the sea were desperately trying to get away.

Even the military dogs brought by the troops on the shore let out uneasy whimpers and, ignoring the soothing of their trainers, began to resist and try to run away.

Of course, there was a benefit to the appearance of this Space-Time Rift.

The grandpas and grandmas of the fishing village, after seeing the anomaly that appeared on the seaside through the car windows, were originally making a huge fuss and even preparing to go make trouble on the streets upon returning, but one by one, they fell silent as cicadas in winter.

The man in the suit and his subordinates were also shoved into this bus.

After seeing that Space-Time Rift, he suddenly felt that he should change careers.

No, not just change careers, he should also leave this place that had no depth to speak of immediately.

Going to Flower Flag Country or the Eastern Ancient Kingdom or even Rosong Country should all be better choices.

Deep under the sea where the Space-Time Rift was located.

Su Ping used his Divine Sense to sense the Space-Time Rift summoned into the real world after the Abyss Rift Challenge Scroll was used.

He recalled the information that appeared after the summoning over and over in his mind to ensure he would not misunderstand it.

Because it was the first time summoning on Water Blue Star.

Su Ping was still relatively cautious, choosing one of the locations where the strength of the earth vein energy was the lowest.

The difficulty of the Abyss Rift he chose when opening it was also the lowest tier, Normal difficulty.

And he had given the news to the high-level officials of Bangzi Country in advance through the Sect Leader of the Morning Star Church, letting them complete the evacuation work.

And he had mobilized troops and a large amount of weapons and equipment.

It could be considered letting them make some preparations in advance just in case an accident occurred.

"Activate, Normal difficulty Abyss Challenge!"

Su Ping's heart stirred, and after confirming the prompt in his mind.

The Space-Time Rift on the sea surface suddenly erupted with blinding red light.

This red light illuminated the sky and the sea.

It even radiated to the fishing village and the hillside on the coast.

After giving many officers and soldiers a fright, some soldiers immediately couldn't hold back their fear and fired their weapons accidentally.

This caused several officers to rush out in annoyance, grab those soldiers who had fired accidentally, and give them a round of punches and kicks.

And the surrounding officers and soldiers saw this and felt it was nothing out of the ordinary.

Some superiors even felt that staging such a scene was conducive to reducing their fear and tension in the face of the mysterious and unknown.

Several officers cursed a few times and were just about to let those embarrassing idiots return to their teams.

Suddenly, they heard a chorus of exclamations from all around, and also heard the trembling orders coming through their headsets.

They hurriedly turned their heads to look at the sea.

Sure enough! As the red light showed no signs of fading.

From the Space-Time Rift within the red light, one after another, eyeball monsters with dark red skin appeared.

These monsters were like individual eyeball-shaped creatures wrapped in dark red skin and muscle.

They were capable of flying in mid-air and constantly waving hundreds or thousands of tiny but surprisingly long tentacles sprouting from their body surfaces.

Yet they were also huge in size, with the largest exceeding twenty meters in diameter and the smallest being ten meters in diameter!

Those who saw their images clearly were left with endless nightmares.

After these eyeball monsters appeared, they noticed those Drones.

Dozens of eyeball monsters appeared beside those Drones in the blink of an eye, as if teleporting.

Those tentacles attacked the Drones at supersonic speeds, and in a short time, they tore all these Drones into pieces!

Furthermore, the eyeball-shaped monsters that tore these Drones apart seemed to have sensed the gazes of the large number of humans on the shore.

They turned their heads one after another to look over.

Sensing the monsters looking at them, the officers each felt an instinctive scream from the depths of their souls.

It was telling them that there could be no peace between the monsters before them and themselves!

This intuitive warning was indeed not wrong!

Abyss monsters are by nature the mortal enemies of all intelligent living beings!

"Mon... monster!"

"They attacked our Drones!"

"Damn it, they're looking over here; these monsters are absolutely the enemies of all mankind!"

"Fire, request to fire!"

As the big shots and generals in the rear also saw the behavior of those eyeball monsters through high-definition lenses.

And received another confirmation from Sect Leader Li of the Morning Star Church, that what was in the Space-Time Rift were demons from another world.

They were the natural enemies of all life!

The generals issued the order to fire!

Several missiles, for which the location of the Space-Time Rift had long been set, even soared into the air from military missile bases, attempting to directly destroy that Space-Time Rift.

Artillery and various rockets on the shore were showered onto the sea surface in the blink of an eye as if they cost nothing.

The sound was like thunder, and the imposing attack had, however, seemingly extremely limited effects on these eyeball monsters.

When the shells and Rockets approached within ten-plus meters of the outer perimeter of these eyeball monsters.

They were blocked by the Telekinetic Shields activated by these eyeball monsters, who had realized the danger, and were thus detonated prematurely!

A continuous and successive series of explosions suddenly bloomed into expensive fireworks in the air.

Amidst the fireworks, the eyeball monsters suffered little loss; only a few with slightly smaller bodies appeared listless as their eyelids drooped due to excessive consumption.

But just like this.

It attracted all the hatred of these eyeball monsters toward the army on the shore.

Those eyeball monsters that had been preparing to enter the seabed also abandoned Su Ping, who was waiting for them with an Array already set up, and turned to drift toward the shore instead.

While advancing, they continuously resisted the baptism of firepower from the shore.

Tens of seconds later, five missiles whistled toward the Space-Time Rift.

These missiles, which carried the Hope of many people... actually passed directly through the Space-Time Rift!

They plunged directly into the seawater, only then exploding and kicking up huge splashes.

This scene stunned the big shots in the rear.

The experts widened their eyes and analyzed continuously.

In a short time, they could only guess that this Space-Time Rift might not have the physical existence they had assumed.

Perhaps it involved more profound quantum theory, existing in a quantum world that both exists and does not exist.

The experts threw out one theoretical conjecture after another.

The big shots could not understand the new terms that had been coined in recent years popping out of the experts' mouths.

But they also understood that with their current capabilities, perhaps there was no other way to deal with this Space-Time Rift other than trying a Nuclear Bomb.

Even for a Nuclear Bomb, in the experts' view, the Hope was not very high.

However, one must always give it a try.

Flower Flag Country began to notify the surrounding areas.

At the same time, a small-yield Nuclear Bomb began preparations.

For dealing with a stationary target like a Space-Time Rift, the yield of the Nuclear Bomb is actually not very important.

If the core area of a small-yield nuclear explosion has no effect, it is highly probable that the core area of a large-yield one will not have an effect either.

On the shore, the Bangzi Country troops had already begun to collapse.

The eyeball monsters hadn't even started attacking yet.

It was just that the largest and fastest eyeball monster appeared on the beach, and after its tentacles waved and began to stick into the sand.

Facing such monsters getting closer and closer.

Many officers and soldiers had their reason completely crushed by fear.

They abandoned their weapons and equipment, threw away their helmets and bulletproof vests, and only the word "escape" remained in their minds.

And as there were more and more deserters.

Fear spread along with it, causing the scene of a crushing defeat, which is already rare to see, to appear in this coastal defense zone.

Woo!

The eyeball monsters were preparing to go ashore to hunt down those fleeing mortals.

Suddenly, a series of sharp whistles came from the sky.

It was the air forces of Flower Flag Country and Bangzi Country that had arrived.

Knowing the miserable state of the Drones, these air force fighter jets did not dare to fly too close; they directly input the coordinates and fired air-to-ground missiles from beyond visual range.

Then, in coordination with the ground-attack firepower of large Drones, they launched an attack.

Sensing danger, the eyeball monsters gathered together one after another and raised their eyes to look at the sky.

In the blink of an eye, a translucent light shield seemed to appear in the sky, following a series of explosions.

This light shield suddenly shattered with a "Crack!"

However, a second light shield soon emerged.

It only allowed the subsequent attacks to get a few meters closer to the eyeball monsters.

Then, this bit of progress made many generals and experts' eyes light up.

At the very least, this scene proved that their weapons were not entirely useless.

Those monsters still needed to expend some unknown amount of energy when facing firepower strikes.

Since it could be categorized as a lack of firepower... then there was a solution.

Seeing this scene, the major powers one after another prepared to expand their artillery arsenals and planned to develop shells with greater power and stronger armor-piercing capabilities!

Although aerial strikes looked somewhat effective.

They also quickly exposed their drawbacks.

Whether it was fighter jets or Drone, their payload capacity was limited.

After exhausting their ammunition, the fighter jets could only helplessly return to base.

After the eyeball monsters suffered a setback, they refocused their rage on the mortals and the weapons and equipment on the shore.

Beams of light shot out from their eyeballs one after another.

In the blink of an eye, they ignited and detonated the abandoned vehicles and artillery pieces one by one.

A large eyeball monster also landed in the fishing village, and with its tentacles dancing wildly, it directly razed the fishing village to the ground!

The Sea God Temple, which had once been pinned with high hopes for making money, was also torn apart by the whipping of a few tentacles.

"No... we cannot let them continue to advance deeper like this, at their speed..."

Watching the eyeball monsters advance unscrupulously.

A general's face turned pale.

"How do we stop them? Almost all the artillery we could mobilize has been moved there, and you saw the result—that bit of firepower is simply not enough!"

"The Air Force? Do you think fighter jets reload and refuel quickly? By the time follow-up attacks are ready, these monsters... will already be able to approach the Capital District!"

"We cannot let them get close to the Capital District!"

The President of Bangzi Country stood up reflexively upon hearing these words.

At this moment, the representative from Flower Flag Country stroked his beard and also stood up to look at the President:

"Perhaps you need a little help?"

"We still have surplus Nuclear Bomb that can be used here..."

"Nu... Nuclear Bomb?"

The President's expression changed slightly; a nuclear explosion on the sea surface was one thing.

But this ground-level nuclear explosion...

"Rest assured, some public opinion trends and deliberately distorted common knowledge should be changed."

The Flower Flag Country representative saw the President's worry and smiled, saying:

"Undoubtedly, the era has changed, and a new enemy has appeared."

"As the strongest spear we possess, how can nuclear weapons be hidden away and not used?"

"We and our allies will fully promote the cleanliness of nuclear weapons and the safety after a nuclear explosion."

The President was silent for a while, but still did not agree, instead turning his gaze toward the Sect Leader of the Morning Star Church, Li Yongxiu.

He seemed to view him as his current straw to clutch at.

The Flower Flag Country representative also looked curiously at Sect Leader Li Yongxiu.

Li Yongxiu kept a straight, expressionless face, but inside he was panicked to death.

How would he know what to do now!

Just as Li Yongxiu opened his mouth, intending to say some meaningless platitudes.

A flash of joy suddenly appeared in his eyes.

He quickly returned to a calm and composed state and spoke slowly:

"There is no need to be so nervous."

"My Lord's angel has already informed me."

"A warrior from a foreign land has already stepped onto this land."

"He will resolve this abnormal event well."

"All you need to do is handle the aftermath and not add trouble for him!"

"A warrior from a foreign land?"

"Is it an extraordinary who rushed over from elsewhere?"

The President of Bangzi Country exclaimed in surprise, then immediately realized that these few sentences contained information that was terrifying to think about.

Why did an extraordinary from a foreign land have to come and help?

Could it be that their Bangzi Country had no extraordinary of their own?

Or was it that the local extraordinary had no time or even the ability to handle the anomaly that appeared this time?

Was Bangzi Country... also a small country in the mystical world?

The President hurriedly stopped himself from thinking further.

He turned to express his gratitude to Sect Leader Li Yongxiu.

At the same time.

A fast-moving eyeball monster floated to a mountain forest.

Its tentacles thrust out like spears with a swish, and it looked as if it was about to pierce through the Bangzi Country soldiers who had fled into the forest!

A sword light soared into the sky from the dense forest.

The light and shadow slashed across the sky from bottom to top with a swish.

Not only were dozens of tentacles severed, but a crack also appeared on the main body of the eyeball monster.

And after emitting a wail in the next second, its entire body was sliced apart into two halves.

Then, its massive body crashed into the mountain forest with a boom, kicking up a large cloud of dust and smoke.

The dead eyeball monster began to turn into billions of light particles and vanish within the large crater it had smashed out.

Leaving not a single scrap of remains behind.

Su Ping also saw the notification follow.

The remaining number of Abyss Evil Eye Monsters has decreased by one!

These eyeball monsters are named Abyss Evil Eye Monsters; the weakest in this batch are at Tier 1 Late Stage, while the largest one has the strength of Tier 2 Late Stage.

Added with the Abyss bonus, the comprehensive strength of these monsters exceeds that of Demon Beasts of the same realm.

However, after being suddenly summoned here, they clearly do not understand this world.

They actually chose to take the firepower bombardment from Bangzi Country head-on.

And after carrying the explosions all the way like this and consuming a massive amount of Essence Spirit and Qi.

These Evil Eye Monsters finally discovered the main target this time: Abyss Challenger Su Ping has appeared!

Woo-woo-woo!

As Su Ping launched his attack.

It was as if the challenge mechanism had been triggered.

The surrounding Evil Eye Monsters all turned their heads one after another to look at the dense forest where Su Ping was located.

Immediately, they waved their tentacles and charged toward the target's direction.

Several large Evil Eye Monsters even sprayed out beams of light, turning a large area of the mountain forest into a sea of fire.

Within the sea of fire.

Su Ping, however, held a High-grade Dharma Sword and, with a body like a dragon, actively approached those eyeball monsters.

Through previous observation, Su Ping had already understood the movements and methods of the eyeball monsters in advance.

Plus, although it could not be seen from their appearance, they had actually already consumed quite a lot.

Su Ping chose close-quarters combat once again.

After the opponent released its stacked telekinetic shields.

Su Ping would not foolishly crash into them like a missile.

He would choose to turn nimbly and cleanly to deal with the eyeball monsters in another direction.

Combined with the terrifying strength brought by his Immortal Body!

Between every breath.

An eyeball monster would fall from the sky and turn into ten thousand light particles.

"Is that the warrior mentioned by the Morning Star Church?"

"It's a pity that he is wrapped in golden light, so his appearance and clothing cannot be seen..."

The President of Bangzi Country looked at the clear footage provided by the high-altitude Drone and could not help but exclaim.

The generals and experts were very curious about how that golden-light transcendent managed to kill those eyeball monsters one by one.

One must know that those were monsters that even artillery and missiles could not break the defense of!

And those streaks of Golden Light that suddenly erupted.

They were simply even more terrifying and powerful than the laser beams in their conceptual weapons.

Woo!

The largest eyeball monster also arrived in front of Su Ping.

Facing this Abyss Evil Eye Monster.

Su Ping did not underestimate the opponent either.

He directly summoned the Spirit Bead.

The supernatural Golden Light on his body grew even more intense by a few degrees.

At the same time, several Flying Swords flew out from Su Ping's hands in unison; although they also carried Golden Light.

After being activated, they exposed faint Sword Shadows dozens of meters long in the air.

Causing the crowd who saw this scene to be astonished.

Everyone could not help but associate it with the Sword Immortal lineage most similar to it in Eastern culture!

"Those golden light phantoms... are those Flying Swords?"

"Controlling swords to fly, using Flying Swords to slay enemies; is this transcendent who came to handle this matter... a Sword Immortal from the Eastern Ancient Kingdom?"
