Chapter 1218

Death battlefield, valley.

"Zhenyi, are we currently cozying up to the North American theater?"

In the neat and uniform ranks, several young Fourth Rank Awakened Ones hesitated, glancing at the team leader, Zhenyi.

The North American theater is ultimately hostile, and even before the Apocalypse, they had an innate aversion and resistance to Americans.

Even after the Apocalypse, actively seeking cooperation with them makes people really uncomfortable.

"What else?"

Constantly monitoring the system map, Zhenyi didn't care about the mood of these Fourth Rank individuals.

"The North American theater is hostile; whether we kill Lin An or see if they want to besiege Rayn..."

"In the end, we still need to contact them."

"Rather than flee later and then talk, it's better to cooperate directly."

"We'll contribute, they'll handle our safety. Don't even think about cooperating with the Huaxia theater—they'd love to kill us ourselves!"

With a hint of confidence.

Compared to everyone worrying whether the North American theater would agree to join forces, he wasn't that worried.

He just didn't believe Andre would dare to act against them!

At this moment, the East Asian theater was like a venomous bee; before its collapse, it had enough capital to drag any enemy down with it to mutual destruction!

As long as Andre isn't an idiot, he will surely agree to their cooperation!

Moreover, we believe the North American side would certainly be pleased to see them face off against the Huaxia theater!

As for Asia's defeat, what do we do about the real-world Apocalypse?

They can't worry about that anymore; they only fight for the present!

"Pay attention to Long An's movements. The North American theater seems to be moving; we estimate it will take some time before we can get close."

"Also, be careful of Lin An..."

Before his words even finished, Zhenyi's expression changed instantly.

In his perception, he felt only a suffocating to the extreme aura sweeping wildly across the ground, as if some monster were scrutinizing the earth!

Something is rushing in at high speed!

How long have we been in the battlefield!? The nearest Awakened Ones should be over a thousand kilometers away! Could it be something inside the battlefield?

Without giving him time to react, a deafening sonic boom tore the sky, and a black shadow moving several times faster than sound suddenly appeared above their heads.

It stopped instantly.

Only Lin An hovered in midair, looking down as if surveying, and gave a cold chuckle.

"Found you, trash..."

The moment his words fell, Lin An unhesitatingly condensed six compressed Arcane Orbs and instantly hurled them at the valley.

Strike upon meeting—first blow up a batch of East Asians, then talk!

His eyes nearly burst, veins bulging.

The leading Zhenyi stared wide-eyed as the dark-purple energy balls struck down, then shouted urgently:

"Attack! Attack now!!"

Too fast! Too sudden!

One second they were still discussing what to do, the next Lin An was already upon them. At this speed, he must have harbored killing intent from the moment they entered the competition!

In the panic, they never imagined Lin An would dare to come kill them at their door.

Nevertheless, under absolute power suppression, even the East Asian Awakened Ones in the valley hastily acted, trying to use skills to nullify Lin An's erupting attack.

But at the instant of psionic contact, those clusters of dark-purple energy balls exploded like miniature nuclear bombs.

Shockwaves surged, clouds swept away.

The blinding light shooting skyward seemed to pierce the soul.

The erupting Arcane Torrent, like a death laser, suddenly pierced through everything.

"Hiss hiss hiss hiss"

The sound of flesh scorching accompanied the wails.

Whether trees, rocks, or flesh, with each scream the whole valley seemed blasted into a basin.

"Boom boom boom!!"

One after another fell.

With vast psionic reserves, Lin An recklessly unleashed a frenzied bombardment.

Often, as soon as the first Arcane Orb formed, the next instant another appeared.

There was no technique to speak of.

Under raw power suppression, he couldn't be bothered to waste thought.

The earth seemed to tremble.

As the successive Arcane Orbs fell, kicking up howling shockwaves visible to the naked eye, Lin An suddenly saw, among the corpses blown apart, white specters shrieking as they charged.

Sure enough, they all had problems.

But after merely sensing the rapidly dropping chill, Lin An didn't pay it much heed.

The East Asian theater had pitifully few Fourth Rank individuals; the truly threatening higher-rank phantasms were only that many.

As for the other phantasms released, whether they could breach his psionic tower shield was a question.

The only thing worth his attention was the opponent's hidden trump card.

He drew his twin swords with a backhand; without needing to channel, a layer of holy-silver light, like the power of time, covered his body.

As one of only two rules that can be activated without rule power, his defense has now reached the Fourth Rank limit!

He actually wanted to see what these Eastern Ocean people had come up with!

In the midst of constantly bursting radiant energy clusters, a cold white light faintly seeped through.

As if expanding space, he hid in front of a young man, Zhen Yi's body trembling somewhat on the verge of collapse.

Too terrifying!

After his first clash with Lin An on the battlefield, he only now realized how exaggerated the opponent's attacks were.

If it weren't for Heng Gang's speed in propping up the practice area being fast enough, he even suspected that everyone had been blown to death!

Gone, all gone.

Besides him, a few Third Fourth Rank and Ya Zi, almost all the Awakened Ones in the Eastern Ocean War Zone were dead.

Under the covering bombardment, their already few personnel now only they remained!

They had imagined that facing Lin An would result in heavy losses, but he never expected the losses to be this devastating!

In their expectation, they should have ambushed Lin An, dragged him into the event space, and then easily dealt with him.

But only after actually clashing did he realize how naive his previous thoughts were.

Lin An simply wouldn't give them a chance!

「Drag him in! Drag him in! 」

「Kill him! Don't kill him! We're all doomed! 」

With a hoarse roar, Zhen Yi frantically urged the expressionless young man, although he also knew the opponent was already using their last trump card to the fullest, that skull would soon pop out. But he was afraid, afraid that after Lin An killed their others he would turn and flee!

He gulped.

Compared to Zhen Yi, who was almost going mad, the perpetually aloof Ya Zi now stared fixedly at the figure outside the space.

Feeling the opponent's unmasked aura, her face turned deathly pale, yet also tinged with jealous greed and ecstasy.

「He isn't a Three Fourth Rank senior! 」

「He is a Three Fourth Rank peak! 」

「The person the system spoke of is Lin An! 」

His whole body was trembling.

Lin An, worth a million points, if killed, all losses would be negligible!

In an instant, following Heng Gang's frantic trembling like that of a dying person, his body moved.

Originally only a hundred-meter spiritual anomaly area, it suddenly enveloped Lin An in midair from above.

At the same time, the ever-vigilant Lin An only heard a system prompt simultaneously in his ear:

「Beep, forced entry into 【Heavenly Ghost Space】」

「Within this space, you will be subject to the corresponding rules' suppression」

「Hum」

The scene shifted.

In an instant, Lin An somewhat surprised to discover that, after being pulled into the space, he actually couldn't see that batch of Eastern Ocean Awakened Ones.

In its place, a small town appeared before his eyes.

Deathly silence, oppressive.
