Chapter 305: Cultivators Strike!

Faced with such a tough attitude, many countries were left fuming, their faces ugly; among them, the most domineering—say, the West—had never endured such anger.

They have long considered themselves the world's leaders, their status unshakable, but now that their face has been slapped, their first reaction is to want to use military force to solve the problem.

They allied with the Eagle, Cherry, Australia, Germany and other countries, holding a secret meeting in New York, intending to take action.

Satellite weapons cannot be used.

The old man in charge of the global satellite positioning weapons system replied with an ugly face.

According to the latest satellite positioning observations, they discovered a shocking fact: as the blizzard expands, global ice and snow descends, the snowstorms that blanket the area have not dissipated but instead become even thicker.

Normally, after the water vapor in the clouds condenses into raindrops and snow and falls, the clouds gradually dissipate, thin out, and eventually disappear.

But the current situation is somewhat different!

These clouds have not only not thinned, but have become even thicker; these clouds are now about 3200 kilometers thick.

Upon hearing the expert's words, everyone was stunned.

3200 kilometers thick!

Is this really a blizzard?

You know, the Earth's atmosphere is only about 1000 kilometers thick, and even the distance from the surface to the core is only about 6300 kilometers!

And now there is a blizzard with a thickness of over 3200, which is utterly impossible.

Everyone present showed expressions of shock and astonishment, and the experts' faces turned ugly to the extreme.

The Earth's gravity and pull, logically speaking, cannot actually draw in so much blizzard cloud mass.

The fact is just that.

The expert, while speaking, called up the satellite cloud map; looking at it, the original Earth had completely changed.

The once blue-green planet vanished, replaced by a white celestial body, with no trace resembling its former self anywhere.

A snow cloud over 3200 kilometers thick is terrifying indeed, even altering the entire face of the Earth.

It's not that we don't want to act; this blizzard is too thick, filled entirely with wind and frost—how could missiles possibly break through!

If missiles were launched from beneath the blizzard, it would be even impossible—just a few hundred meters' distance, and the missiles couldn't even lift off; with such a thick cloud mass, even intercontinental missiles would be unrealistic.

The leaders of the West and many other countries had faces that turned ugly to the extreme.

In fact, regarding all this, the East had long anticipated it; the authorities have consistently sent people to monitor closely, and even from the onset of the heavenly and earthly catastrophe, numerous Eastern satellites have been frantically observing, gathering all data.

They naturally already knew about these thick clouds; even if the West harbored ulterior motives, they would have nothing to fear.

The East today is no longer what it once was; setting aside the establishment of the 749 Bureau, its interior is brimming with talent.

Furthermore, from the very beginning, many were selected from the army to learn basic cultivation techniques; later, over a hundred genius students from the college entrance exam entered the Cultivation Academy to study, plus the Longyuan Immortal Sect, and later the cultivation technique promoted nationwide.

Not to mention ordinary civilians; just counting those carefully trained by the state, aided by the Great Demons of the Longyuan Mountain Range, and coached by the Longyuan Immortal Sect, these people's strength can be described as advancing by leaps and bounds.

Moreover, unlike ordinary civilians, these soldiers and students clearly understand the function of cultivation methods, and they also know the responsibility they bear on their shoulders!

Under the guidance of numerous disciples from the Longyuan Mountain Range, most of these soldiers have entered the Second Rank, with some outstanding individuals even reaching the peak, faintly showing a trend of breaking through.

Adding the geniuses from the Cultivation Academy, the average person is now at the Third Rank.

If other countries truly harbor ill intentions now, relying solely on these top-tier cultivators forged with the aid of the Longyuan Mountain Range would absolutely be worthy of being called a great weapon.

Their physical fitness, muscle quality, reaction ability, and adaptive measures have all nearly surpassed ordinary people by more than tenfold.

With such terrifying physical fitness, aside from being unable to fly, they are nearly superhuman beings, capable of instantly killing ordinary people, even trained soldiers and agents, as easily as crushing an ant.

Eastern 749 Bureau.

Outside the window lay an icy snow-covered world, as if carved from ice and snow; indoors there were no heating facilities, and Hua Tiancheng was not dressed warmly—just a wool sweater underneath and a suit jacket on top.

In temperatures of minus ten-odd degrees, such attire can be described as extremely thin; staying outdoors half a day could freeze a person to death, yet he felt no cold at all.

This is the benefit of the basic cultivation method.

As the technique operates, several warm currents surge within his body, able to keep Hua Tiancheng's temperature normal; at this moment he is handling various documents.

Thump thump thump—

As the knocking sounded, the secretary entered holding a stack of documents.

Director, according to the latest news, the West has joined with many other countries to hold a secret meeting, apparently to discuss how to deal with us.

Hua Tiancheng lifted his head from the pile of documents like a small mountain, revealing a cold smile: 'These people still can't hold back.'

Hua Tiancheng was not surprised by this result; his side possesses abundant food, various fuels, and petroleum resources—it would be strange if these people weren't envious.

Desperate times call for desperate measures; their grain and coal reserves are not high, likely to run out soon, so naturally they turn their gaze to the bridal chamber, wanting to get a share.

They want to seize our resources—pure fantasy; it's nothing but those few means, and now satellites are obviously unusable—

Hua Tiancheng pondered for a moment, then said: 'Give the order downwards, have those below prepare—if the tiger doesn't show its might, they really think we're sick cats; it's time to give them a taste of their own medicine.'

When the heavenly and earthly catastrophe arrives, humanity ought to unite as one to jointly resist the hardship; if these nations discuss amicably, Hua Tiancheng wouldn't mind lending a hand.

But if they intend to obtain resources by force, they are not to be provoked; it's also time to intimidate these nations, letting them know the true might of the East, so they won't come back to harass again and again.

……

One cultivator after another set out from the East, disappearing into the vast snowy expanse.

Almost within a week after the Western congress ended, every participant in that meeting was found dead in their homes.

Seeing this, countless nations were both shocked and angry, frantically searching and investigating, wanting to uncover who was behind all this.

Yet what terrified them was that, no matter how they searched, they could find no trace whatsoever.

These assassins, whose origins are unknown, are like ghosts in the darkness, like feathers in the snow—utterly undetectable!

Find them! Even if we have to dig three feet underground, we must uncover the culprit!

Countless nations roared in unison, all their forces pouring out; they finally managed to find a tiny clue via citywide surveillance cameras, yet they stood frozen in place.

Because in the figures captured by the cameras, each assassin was extraordinarily strange and formidable, their physical quality so domineering as to be completely unlike ordinary people.

What? The person who assassinated Mr. Griffin is right beneath the apartment? Hiding in the snow for dozens of hours?

Impossible—at such freezing temperatures, how could they manage that, unless they aren't human!

In the surveillance footage, these people had yellow skin and black hair, and they were speaking Eastern languages; their identity was obvious, and the news they received left many countries shocked.

"These assassins are all from the East! I get it—those who died had all attended that meeting! It was definitely the East that did it!"

"The East is really going too far! Is this meant to be a demonstration against us?"

"If you have the guts, go ahead and kill us all! Damn it, do you think this will make us afraid?"

Everyone was outraged, yet when they saw those blurry recordings, they couldn't help but widen their eyes in disbelief.

What's going on with these assassins?

The displayed strength was terrifying—completely beyond what humans should have—and most importantly, the soldiers they sent out to surround and intercept were all killed in counterattacks!

From the video footage, these assassins exceeded human physiological limits; only in TV dramas or movies would such an unbelievable scene appear.

Faced with all this, not only were countless countries worldwide shocked and astonished, but many officials in the East were also dumbfounded.

These soldiers were secretly trained; besides the people of the Cultivation 749 Bureau, only a few higher-ups knew, and most people couldn't interfere, so they didn't even know the specifics of their training.

Although we knew these cultivated soldiers were strong, we never expected them to be this strong!

If, in the peaceful years just past, one had mastered this power, it would definitely be an existence capable of shaking everything.

Those soldiers were also very surprised—after all, they had started out as ordinary soldiers, only later being selected to learn basic cultivation techniques.

This sortie assassination aimed not only to intimidate those foreigners but also to test the effectiveness of the cultivation method.

Everyone originally thought that if the assassination failed, they'd try another method, but they never expected this assassination to go so smoothly.

Moreover, a few people, while withdrawing, were surrounded by dozens or even hundreds; had this happened before, even the toughest elite soldier would have died with regret.

But now, they actually relied on their own physical prowess to charge straight through and fight their way out; not only that, they even casually slaughtered all those soldiers!

At the same time, all the deployed soldiers were utterly shocked—no wonder, it's the cultivation technique produced by the Longyuan Mountain Range.

Longyuan Mountain Range is awesome!

Demon Master is awesome!

However, for those foreigners, it was somewhat unsettling; the East wielded such terrifying power, as if it were an uninhabited zone—who knows who will be next on the assassination list?

Countless countries stood up one after another; facing various disputes and questions, the East responded with extraordinary overbearingness: "In special times, special measures must be used."

Moreover, we were merely striking first; if the West hadn't initiated this move against the meeting, none of what followed would have happened.

Or do we really have to wait for them to come knocking before we launch a counterattack?

Ignoring the outside noise, in the coming days countless top cultivators emerged from the East, riding snow vehicles across the frozen sea.

After undergoing cultivation, their physical fitness reached unprecedented levels of enhancement, especially after the blizzard struck, the speed of various cultivation methods gained unprecedented boosts.

Those soldiers sent on assassination missions to various countries were at least at the peak of the Yi Stage Realm; their qi and blood flowed like a rainbow, and they felt no fear even in the face of extreme cold blizzards.

In the following days, reports of members being assassinated kept coming from countries all over the world.

Of course, it wasn't wanton slaughter; it was directed only at those countries secretly plotting harm.

As for the other relatively peaceful nations, the East did not launch random attacks; instead, it sent considerable food and fuel aid, earning gratitude from many countries.

Faced with this brutal repression, many countries finally began to feel a little afraid.

Let's be reasonable—they simply won't listen, and besides, they were the ones at fault first; we can't beat them in a fight, and trying to unite other nations to isolate them fails because the aided countries just won't go along.

Their allied states, also caught up in the East's assassinations, were scrambling frantically, barely able to manage their own affairs, let alone worry about other countries.

"This kind of existence is simply too terrifying—what exactly is going on? Are they the latest gene serum or have they been injected with some chemical drug?"

"According to the intelligence, all of this seems to be related to Longyuan Mountain?"

"What on earth is inside that Longyuan Mountain Range!"

The officials of various countries can be said to be utterly puzzled; facing the East's overbearing, hard-handed tactics, no matter how indignant they might be, they could only forcibly endure it.

First, let go of this matter and soothe domestic unrest and emotions.

Seeing these people finally settle down, the East then halted its operations; through this action, they clearly realized the might of the Longyuan Mountain Range and the miraculous nature of the cultivation technique.

"No wonder it's the cultivation method compiled by the Grandmaster of All Demons of the Longyuan Mountain Range!"

"Too terrifying."

"If cultivated to the extreme, one can possess unimaginable power; even without relying on anything else, merely using one's flesh to contend with a blizzard is effortless!"

"Issue a notice: tell the masses to stay home and never forget to cultivate, while we also strengthen training."

Actually, without officials reminding them, ordinary people are well aware of the wonders of the basic cultivation method.

Because they discovered that, in the face of this blizzard, their physical fitness had greatly improved.

In an environment of several degrees below zero, even a sturdy young man, if not wearing proper protective clothing, absolutely cannot withstand it for long!

But after cultivating the technique, even an elderly person can wear thin clothing and stroll through the snow with ease.

"Brothers, have you noticed? Practicing basic cultivation techniques these past few days has been rapid progress."

"Me too—my cultivation speed has increased a lot lately; at this rate, I should break through soon."

"Since I started practicing basic cultivation techniques, I feel completely energized; my former minor ailments have all vanished."

"I really don't know where the state found this cultivation method—it's just too terrifying!"

"Alas, I'm uneducated junior—just one 'holy shit' and I can roam the world."

"I really wish I could meet this creator—how many lives must they have saved?"

"Forget it—someone of that stature, could you even see them?"

Throughout the East, countless people were shocked by the basic cultivation technique; they discussed it excitedly, their faces full of admiration.

And reverence.

And just then, the warning that Ye Qin had the Northeast Tiger bring from the East was also transmitted.

"Get ready."

"The second wave of heavenly and earthly calamity is coming."

Faced with the warning from the Longyuan Mountain Range, the authorities here naturally could not remain idle; they almost immediately sprang into action, earnestly preparing, daring not to slack in the slightest.

As expected, not long after the warning from the Longyuan Mountain Range, as Earth's orbit progressed, Earth became increasingly farther from the Sun.

Adding to that, the terrifying blizzard cloud layer, thick and huge at 3200 kilometers, further blocked the Sun's radiation, and the entire Earth entered a state of semi-darkness.

Boundless darkness enveloped the whole world, accompanied by heavenly and earthly catastrophes and the gradually receding orbit; an unimaginable terrifying cold current swept across the entire Earth!

This cold current is too terrifying.

In the face of this cold current, everything is so fragile and insignificant.

The temperature of the whole Earth was like riding a roller coaster, continuously plummeting madly; the originally turbulent azure sea also gradually turned into the purest white.

Such a scene is simply shocking to behold.

Layer upon layer of thick frost continuously piled up as thin frost covered it, the vast, boundless sea surface gradually froze over, and no flowing seawater could be seen anymore.

The originally azure sea, from top to bottom, countless spray turned into icicles, and all marine life was frozen solid.

Such icicles are extremely terrifying, almost reaching several kilometers below the sea surface, and with the passage of time, even the sea surface in Earth's tropical regions was covered by icicles several kilometers thick.

Heavy Snow drifted, extreme cold descended, the temperature across the whole Earth gradually dropped to nearly minus fifty or sixty degrees, the howling cold wind was like a ferocious beast, devouring everything at will.

Such terrifying desperate cold caused the entire global ecosystem to begin collapsing!
