Chapter 560: First Battle of the Eighth Realm! (Seeking monthly votes)

Martial Path Era 2049, February 12th

8:00 AM!

"Woo-woo!!"

The Black Dragon Base sounded an alarm, and an emergency notice was issued on the House of War.

【Emergency Notice!】

【Beijiang Province, Black Dragon Base has erupted with a super-large disaster beast tide. All martial artists, please prepare...】

The alarm echoed throughout the entire Black Dragon Base, which immediately became bustling.

Countless soldiers and staff members began to busy themselves.

Room 206, Lin Qi's tall figure walked out from the martial arts room.

【You have completed one session of Origin Energy cultivation, physical strength has slightly increased, Qi and blood value +20】

【Qi and blood value: 10650→10670 (Two apertures)】

Lin Qi glanced at the panel; now, daily Origin Energy cultivation had too slow an improvement effect.

Having reached the Eighth Realm, he thought about how it wouldn't be as easy as the previous improvements.

He quickly put on his battle armor, held the black gold great spear in one hand, and walked out of the room!

"Whoosh whoosh!!"

Facing the cold wind, he walked toward the crowd.

A moment later, at the entrance of the Black Dragon Base!

At the very front, all 80 Eighth Realm martial artists had arrived, standing at the forefront.

Then came the other high-realm martial artists.

"Spear Demon!"

"Little Junior Brother!"

In the crowd, Lin Qi greeted acquaintances; he could clearly feel that the overall strength of the Black Dragon Base was growing stronger.

Awakening potions had already been listed several times, and tens of thousands of vials had already been sold.

Under such a massive quantity, a large number of martial artists had awakened special abilities.

Combat power had increased significantly.

Lin Qi greeted everyone and gathered with Liu Yuanzhang, his teacher Mu Hong, and Dean Xue Zhou.

At the same time, there were also acquaintances like Xu Qing and Pei Yiqing.

In their line of sight, at the distant horizon, white beams of light shot into the sky.

Two huge rings of light formed, expanding with a boom, turning into massive circular passages.

Liu Yuanzhang frowned and said:

"This time there are two space gates; the number of disaster beasts probably won't be small!"

"Roar~"

As soon as the words fell, the deafening roars of disaster beasts arrived.

"Boom!!"

The earth shook, and amidst the white snow, one massive figure after another charged out from the space gates.

"Mountain-Moving Ape, Earth-Shaking Dragon Elephant, Wasteland Lion King, White Gold Fierce Tiger, Giant Peak Bear, Black Gold Grey Eagle!"

Everyone frowned; Pei Yiqing spoke the names of the six Level 9 disaster beasts.

Six Level 9 disaster beasts; fortunately, no Level 10 disaster beasts had charged out!

In the sky, several figures hovered, watching the Level 9 disaster beasts charging out.

Clad in silver armor, the burly and tall Mountain-Senior Shanhe Wang's deep voice rang out:

"Just six Level 9 disaster beasts, let's take them out."

"Good!"

After speaking, the Mountain-Senior Shanhe Wang moved first, a hundred-meter-long spear Gang Qi shooting out with a boom!

The war was on the verge of breaking out!

"All units pay attention, open fire!"

The military also acted simultaneously, laser cannons tearing through the sky, and fighter jets frantically unleashing their firepower.

"Boom!!"

"Kill!!"

Someone at the front roared, leading the charge.

Facing the black, wave-like tide of disaster beasts, all martial artists charged forward without fear of death.

"Swish swish!!"

Gang Qi of various colors shot out, piercing through the disaster beasts at the front.

At the same time, Lin Qi and the others also launched their charge.

He followed the other Eighth Realm martial artists, his whole person like black lightning, instantly shooting out.

The black gold great spear in his hand danced, golden spear Gang Qi condensing.

Although it was still three meters, the density of the spear Gang Qi had increased, resembling a real great spear.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!"

In an instant, fifty golden spear Gang Qi were condensed, circling around his body, shooting toward the disaster beasts at the front.

"Puff puff puff!!"

The spear Gang Qi erupted at twice the speed of sound, piercing the air and instantly penetrating the disaster beasts charging at the front.

Single-Horned Black Pig, Grey-Spined Giant Wolf, Blood-Scaled Iron Pig, Bronze Python Ox...

Regardless of whether they were Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, or even Level 4 disaster beasts.

All were treated equally, pierced through the body by the golden spear Gang Qi, and collapsed to the ground with a boom.

Fresh blood splattered out, and the white snow was dyed red.

In the blink of an eye, 50 disaster beasts were killed; facing the black tide of disaster beasts, there was no need to aim, and the spear Gang Qi shot out with at least a 90% hit rate.

Merit points +50

Merit points +30

Merit points +5

In the blink of an eye, Lin Qi's merit points had increased a little more.

The efficiency of hunting low-level disaster beasts was truly too low.

Dean Xue Zhou, in blue armor nearby, couldn't help but laugh loudly after seeing this:

"Good lad, your strength is really not weak!"

"When Old Liu and Old Mu first broke through, they didn't even have one-tenth of your strength!"

Liu Yuanzhang, not far away, said with dissatisfaction after hearing this:

"Old Xue, you're going too far!"

"One-tenth? At least one-third."

Mu Hong also spoke up: "I had at least one-half of his strength."

Xue Zhou laughed, watching Lin Qi continuously release spear Gang Qi and kill disaster beasts.

He marveled inwardly; who could have thought that Lin Qi would break through to the Eighth Realm so quickly.

And was even fighting side-by-side with him!

Although he had failed to break through to the Ninth Realm, at least he had cultivated Lin Qi, this top-tier genius.

This genius, having just broken through, could actually release fifty spear Gang Qi.

This was something only veteran Eighth Realm martial artists could do.

"Puff puff!!"

Lin Qi, however, didn't know Xue Zhou's thoughts; looking at the disaster beasts falling under his spear Gang Qi, he shook his head secretly, not very satisfied.

Having broken through to the Eighth Realm, he could contain more Origin Energy within his body.

Especially after opening two apertures, they were like water wells, pouring Origin Energy in.

Then, when needed, he could mobilize it at any time.

Allowing him, in a single thought, to condense fifty spear Gang Qi, greatly increasing the efficiency of hunting disaster beasts.

However, the precision had worsened; he needed to accurately hit fifty disaster beasts.

The difficulty was very high, and the requirements for mental power were extremely harsh.

It was also related to the method of controlling mental power.

The control method, Wan Shui Liu, now seemed insufficient.

This made Lin Qi think of "Divine Thought Thousand Strands."

This inheritance, which came from the Spark Civilization, could only be chosen by top-tier geniuses.

The effect was definitely stronger than Wan Shui Liu.

Going back tonight, he could try to start cultivating it.

Practicing it would only have benefits for him, no drawbacks.

"Roar~"

In a short few dozen seconds, their hundreds of high-realm martial artists, like a road roller, had crushed the disaster beast tide once.

Instantly killing tens of thousands of disaster beasts!

They also charged to the front line, and what greeted them were high-level disaster beasts one after another.

"Roar~"

A massive Power Ape descended from the sky, landing on the ground and splashing up large patches of snow.

The next instant, a golden light shot out, instantly piercing the Power Ape's neck.

"Puff~"

Scalding fresh blood spurted wildly, landing on the snow, merging into snow water, revealing the snow beneath.

"Roar~"

Accompanied by a roar, the Power Ape's massive body collapsed to the ground and died.

Merit points +60,000!

Lin Qi danced his great spear and landed, his eyes shining.

Too easy!

Killing Level 7 disaster beasts now was no different from killing mid-level disaster beasts.

The massive Power Ape couldn't withstand a single spear strike from him at all.

His strength, penetrating power, and speed were all heavily superimposed.

The skin on the Power Ape's neck was like paper, breaking with a single poke.

Lin Qi's eyes erupted with dazzling golden light, and he continued to kill other disaster beasts.

"Moo-woo~"

"Boom!"

The Level 7 disaster beast, Iron-Armored Rhino, charged forward with its spiral horn piercing the air, the earth shaking.

But Lin Qi transformed into black lightning and charged out; compared to the clumsy Iron-Armored Rhino, he was too agile!

Golden Emperor Gang Qi condensed, gathering on the great spear.

"World-Extinguishing Spear Art" was unleashed, the Iron-Armored Rhino's weakness was exposed, and Lin Qi accurately thrust his great spear.

He and the great spear merged into one, shooting out.

"Puff~"

The great spear pierced the Iron-Armored Rhino's thick armor, penetrated the skin, and fresh blood flowed all over the ground along with the skin under the powerful impact.

"Boom!"

The Iron-Armored Rhino couldn't stop, fell sideways, and kicked up large patches of snow!

Lin Qi pulled out the great spear and instantly thrust twelve times at the neck.

Twelve Golden Light Consecutive Strikes!

Twelve huge blood holes emerged, and golden threads penetrated all the life force of the Iron-Armored Rhino.

For Lin Qi, now in the Eighth Realm, the Iron-Armored Rhino was a weakness from head to toe.

Facing the disaster beasts, he felt his blood boiling, and his combat power had received a huge boost.

Sure enough, facing disaster beasts, his actual combat ability increased significantly.

This might be talent!

After killing the Iron-Armored Rhino, Lin Qi began to set his sights on the Level 8 disaster beasts.

Disaster beasts were cannon fodder created by the Monster Race, and among them, Level 9 disaster beasts were the pinnacle of disaster beasts.

Further up were Monster Beasts!

Therefore, Level 9 disaster beasts were the kings among disaster beasts; they were very strong, a large margin stronger than ordinary Level 8 disaster beasts!

So they were rare in number, while Level 8 disaster beasts were different.

Their numbers were over a hundred times that of Level 9 disaster beasts!

After the six Level 9 disaster beasts came out, what followed were endless high-level disaster beasts.

"Roar~"

Among a group of Level 7 disaster beasts, a massive Earth-Splitting Dragon charged out of the space gate like a moving mountain range.

Its massive body, its tail like a giant python, shook the surrounding snow away, and the hot air it exhaled melted the snow.

A Level 7 martial artist's expression changed drastically upon seeing this, and he couldn't help but retreat backward.

Then a giant palm that blotted out the sky trampled down.

If this palm landed, one would be heavily injured if not dead!

The next instant, dozens of spear Gang Qi shot out, hitting the thick forelimb.

"Puff!!"

The spear Gang Qi tore through the tough and rough skin, causing fresh blood to spurt out.

The next moment, Lin Qi appeared dancing the great spear, his whole person shrouded in golden light, sharp and exposed, the golden domain expanding to a range of 10 meters.

He unleashed the "World-Extinguishing Spear Canon," the great spear thrusting out like a straight silk thread piercing the air, tearing through the sky, and penetrating the Earth-Splitting Dragon's forelimb!

"Roar~"

"Boom!"

This Level 7 martial artist watched, dumbfounded, as the Earth-Splitting Dragon roared and swiped out with its other giant palm.

But it was easily dodged by Lin Qi, and then his whole person dissipated, with only golden threads visible throughout the space.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!"

"Puff puff!!"

Twelve Golden Light Consecutive Strikes!

Lin Qi instantly pierced the Earth-Splitting Dragon's body, fresh blood poured from the opponent's massive body, and finally, it died after its neck was pierced!

A Level 8 disaster beast collapsed and died in less than a minute.

Merit points +600,000

Compared to Level 7 disaster beasts, the merit points for Level 8 disaster beasts had increased tenfold.

Hunting three Level 8 disaster beasts brought merit points close to 2 million.

The merit points he spent yesterday had all been earned back.

He looked at that Level 7 martial artist and asked:

"Are you alright?"

The other party shook his head gratefully: "Spear Demon, thanks to you for saving me!"

"We are all comrades, no need to be polite!"

After saying this, Lin Qi turned and continued to kill other disaster beasts.

This person looked at Lin Qi's back and sighed; this was perhaps the strength of a top-tier genius.

Massive Level 8 disaster beasts, killed as soon as he said so, simply as easy as killing chickens.

At this time, Zhang Tianyang was stepping onto the battlefield for the first time, with Senior Shen Heng leading him to hunt disaster beasts.

He danced his battle saber, hunting mid-level disaster beasts one after another.

"Tianyang, we are starting to hunt Level 7 disaster beasts now!"

"Puff!"

Not far away, Senior Shen Heng said to Zhang Tianyang after killing a Level 5 Rending-Claw Ape.

"Good!"

Then the two began to search for Level 7 disaster beasts!

"Roar~"

Amidst the roars, two Earth-Splitting Wolves appeared in their line of sight.

"Die for me!"

The overconfident Zhang Tianyang immediately greeted them.

"Bang!"

He was burly, wearing a set of red battle armor, only to see veins bulging, waving his battle saber, red saber Gang Qi waving out, colliding with the Earth-Splitting Wolf.

A moment later

"Roar~"

The Earth-Splitting Wolf collapsed to the ground with a boom, fresh blood dyeing the earth red!

Zhang Tianyang panted heavily and said to Senior Shen Heng not far away:

"Level 7 disaster beasts are indeed different, much stronger than mid-level disaster beasts."

"I was exhausted and barely managed to kill it!"

Senior Shen Heng shook his head after hearing this, pointing not far away and saying: "Look!"

Zhang Tianyang followed his gaze and saw, in the distance, a golden giant tiger being pierced through by a burst of golden light, fresh blood like blood flowers in the air!

"Boom!"

The massive body collapsed to the ground with a boom!

Zhang Tianyang was stunned after seeing this; if he hadn't recognized it wrong, this was a Level 8 disaster beast—Jin Gang Tiger.

The Jin Gang Tiger was also one of the extremely powerful disaster beasts among Level 8 disaster beasts.

He saw the true face of the killer; it was actually Lin Qi.

Lin Qi hunted the Jin Gang Tiger?

Looking at his appearance, it seemed very easy?

This gap was too big!

He himself was already panting heavily after hunting an ordinary Earth-Splitting Wolf.

While the other party could already easily kill Level 8 disaster beasts.

Senior Shen Heng, in black armor, also couldn't help but sigh:

"This is a top-tier genius!"

"Even among high-realm martial artists, he is still the most top-tier; we are no longer considered geniuses, only ordinary Seventh Realm martial artists."

Zhang Tianyang nodded; he was only an SS-level genius, and more than half of the Seventh Realm martial artists were SS-level geniuses.

"Let's continue hunting disaster beasts!"

Then the two continued to throw themselves into the war!

As time passed, the six disaster beasts were killed one after another.

One hour later, the two space gates closed.

The battlefield had already been covered by a large number of disaster beasts.

"Puff puff!!"

"Roar~"

Xue Zhou, in blue armor, danced his battle saber, surrounded by a large amount of flowing water saber Gang Qi.

He was surrounded by two Nether-Night Leopards, both Level 8 disaster beasts, extremely fast and cooperating tacitly.

"Roar~"

The Nether-Night Leopards instantly pounced, their sharp claws tearing through the air, cold light flashing as they swiped out.

"Bang!"

Xue Zhou waved his saber, colliding with the sharp claws, blocking them, and a tyrannical force was transmitted from the saber body.

The saber Gang Qi absorbed the force, causing Xue Zhou to retreat a few steps; the next instant, a blue domain like a vast ocean expanded outward.

The Nether-Night Leopards' speed instantly slowed down, as if they had been thrown into the ocean.

"Puff puff~"

Soon, the two Nether-Night Leopards had their heads severed, their massive bodies collapsing to the ground with a boom.

Xue Zhou shook his head; he was already at the peak of the Eighth Realm now, and apart from Ninth Realm martial artists, he didn't have many opponents left.

Hunting two Level 8 disaster beasts was exceptionally easy.

"Roar~"

Just a hundred meters away, accompanied by a roar of unwillingness, another massive body collapsed to the ground with a boom.

Xue Zhou saw a tall figure wearing black gold battle armor, dancing a golden great spear, his whole body radiating golden sharpness.

When the spear art was unleashed, the golden domain expanded, as if it could cut everything around it.

This person was Lin Qi.

What fell was a Level 8 disaster beast with white fur all over—Glacier Bai Lang.

Not far from it, there was another Glacier Bai Lang corpse.

These were all Lin Qi's masterpieces.

Xue Zhou came to Lin Qi's side and couldn't help but praise:

"Lin Qi, your efficiency in killing disaster beasts is too high; even I was almost surpassed by you."

"Your strength doesn't look like an Eighth Realm martial artist who just broke through at all!"

"Is this the strength of a top-tier genius?"

Lin Qi shook his head and said: "I'm still far from it!"

"Roar~"

As soon as the words fell, the roars of disaster beasts rang out in his ears again, and the two separated to hunt disaster beasts.

The super-large disaster beast tide didn't conclude until 7 PM, and a large number of martial artists began to return to the base!

Lin Qi also returned with Xue Zhou, Liu Yuanzhang, and Mu Hong; after separating, he also returned to his Room 206.

The room's intelligent robot had already started cooking meals.

Lin Qi took off his battle armor and began to feast, simultaneously opening the House of War projection:

【Name: Lin Qi (Black Dragon Base)】

【Realm: Eighth Realm Aperture Training】

【Merit points: 10.506 million】

【Base ranking: 30→25】

【Xia Guo ranking: 150→130】

【Blue Star ranking: 555→490】

Lin Qi saw the merit points exceeding 10 million and immediately revealed a smile.

In one day, he had gained over 8 million merit points.

The efficiency was a large margin higher than before he broke through.

His combat power was astonishing now; hunting Level 7 and Level 8 disaster beasts was not difficult.

His hunting efficiency was no worse than some peak Eighth Realm martial artists.

The main thing was that he had good physical strength, fast speed, and 【Golden Pupil】 allowed him to find the weaknesses of disaster beasts at the fastest speed.

Besides that, his ranking had indeed improved, rising by five places.

His rankings in the Xia Guo and Blue Star had also risen by dozens of places.

According to his upward trend,

Then he looked at his battle armor; after a day of hunting, it had suffered significant wear and tear.

"I should probably change into better equipment!"

Lin Qi thought secretly; in one war, the merit points he earned were not few.

So he opened the shopping module and searched for Eighth-Order battle armor.

【Item: Eighth-Order Battle Armor (Enhanced Version)】

【Description: Enhanced version of Eighth-Order battle armor, possessing stronger defensive capabilities, effectively resisting the impact and energy damage of disaster beasts!】

【Merit points: 3 million】

Lin Qi glanced at it and nodded secretly; the price was four times more expensive than the ordinary version!

But it was still within the range he could accept.

Then he looked at the Eighth-Order great spear, which also doubled, requiring 2 million merit points.

Which was about the merit points of hunting two Level 8 disaster beasts.

Thinking of this, Lin Qi didn't hesitate; having money, naturally, he had to change into better equipment.

【Beep!】

【Fingerprint verification successful, 6 million merit points paid!】

Lin Qi looked at the 6 million merit points spent and couldn't help but sigh; these merit points were earned fast, but spent even faster!

But once the new equipment arrived, his efficiency in killing disaster beasts would only be higher.
