Tracks crushed through the ruins, leaving deep grooves; the barrels of their multi-barrel cannons glinted with the cold light of death, locked firmly onto the twisted sky at the center of the depression and the tiny outpost beneath it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fire! Destroy the energy source! Capture the specimen!” A cold, amplified voice echoed from the lead assault platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sssssssss—Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a piercing charge sound, all ten assault platforms simultaneously unleashed torrents of fire from their top-mounted multi-barrel cannons! A dense hail of metal bullets became a storm, instantly covering the entire depression!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get down!” Lin Mo roared, tackling Xiang Lingna to the ground and pinning her beneath him! Ai Li instantly dropped low, sheltering behind a thick steel beam!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terrifying barrage swept across the depression like Death’s scythe! The newly erected wooden palisade shattered like paper! The half-built watchtower’s foundation was riddled with holes and collapsed in a crash! The “poke-your-ass” crane arm of Ban Shou became twisted scrap metal! The workshop’s metal frame groaned shrilly, sparks flying everywhere! The ground was plowed into blackened furrows, soil and rubble spraying in all directions!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My crossbow!” Ban Shou crouched behind the unfinished steam-powered crossbow, watching his meticulously crafted components destroyed, wailing in anguish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After one barrage, the depression lay in ruins. Smoke filled the air, littered with craters and burning debris. Fortunately, the main huts, shielded by angle and cover, suffered minimal damage. Lin Mo and Xiang Lingna rose, covered in dust and ash; Lingna’s face was pale with terror, but she clutched the two seedlings, their glow intensifying. Ai Li darted like a leopard to a relatively intact cover, raising her short crossbow again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Advance! Take them alive!” The cold command rang out once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ten assault platforms roared to life, advancing like moving walls, crushing the broken wooden palisade as they pressed toward the center of the depression! Heavy tracks ground into the earth, sending shuddering vibrations through the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ban Shou! Is it ready yet?!” Lin Mo watched the approaching steel titans, his heart pounding! Rifle bullets struck the assault platforms’ armor, leaving only faint white marks!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Done! Ban Shou the Great has had enough!” Ban Shou let out a wild yell and yanked a massive, rusted valve handle beside him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pssssssssss—!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gush of scalding white steam erupted violently from the boiler’s pressure relief valve! Immediately, the thick steam pipes connected to the crossbow arm turned crimson, groaning under unbearable strain! Immense pressure drove the piston, producing dull, heavy “Clang! Clang!” sounds!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Give me… OPEN!” Ban Shou poured every ounce of strength into pulling the steam crossbow’s firing lever!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“BOOM—!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deafening, earth-shattering roar, like a steam locomotive crashing into a mountain, exploded across the depression!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thick alloy crossbow arm, propelled by furious steam pressure, shot forward like a wild dragon breaking free! Mounted on the arm was a heavy steel spear, two meters long and as thick as an arm, forged from the drive shaft of an armored troop carrier!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spear tore through the air with a piercing shriek, carrying unmatched kinetic energy, crossing the hundred-meter distance in an instant and slamming into the frontal armor of the lead assault platform!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“KRAAAANG—!!!!!!!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A grating, bone-chilling sound of metal twisting and shattering!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thick composite armor crumpled inward like a cookie struck by a sledgehammer, forming a massive dent; spiderweb cracks instantly spread across the entire front! The spear’s tip pierced through the armor, driving deep into the interior! The assault platform shuddered violently backward, tracks spinning wildly, belching thick black smoke; violent explosions and sparking short circuits erupted inside, instantly disabling it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single shot! Terrifying as this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence fell instantly across the depression and beyond!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo, Ai Li, Xiang Lingna, and the nine remaining Black Scorpion members inside the other platforms were all stunned by this earth-shattering strike!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahahaha! See that?! The Black Scorpion’s turtle shell! Ban Shou the Great’s can opener! Wasn’t that awesome?!” Ban Shou, gazing at the result of his masterpiece, danced wildly with joy, oil stains on his face unable to hide his elation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ban Shou’s laughter lasted only a second!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Warning! High-threat weapon! Priority target!” A cold electronic voice rang from the assault platforms. The remaining nine platforms instantly realigned all their cannons toward the smoking, red-hot steam crossbow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sssssssss—Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An even denser hail of bullets rained down like a storm upon the steam crossbow! Thick steel plates sparked violently, clanging under impact! One shell struck the steam pipe connecting to the boiler directly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pssssssss—!!!” Scalding high-pressure steam erupted like a runaway dragon from the ruptured pipe, instantly engulfing half the workshop area!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aaaah—!” Ban Shou, closest to the blast, was struck by the scalding steam on his arm, screaming in agony as the shockwave hurled him backward!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ban Shou!” Lin Mo’s eyes burned with rage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steam filled the air, blurring vision. The crossbow’s main structure remained, but its critical steam lines were ruptured—completely destroyed. Ban Shou’s fate was unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nine assault platforms, having crushed the wreckage of their disabled comrade, now advanced like nine steel mountains, pressing toward the depression’s center, toward the twisted sky and Xiang Lingna. Their cannons began recharging again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s over. Lin Mo’s heart turned icy. The steam crossbow had been a fleeting miracle; Ban Shou was gravely wounded; they had no more means of resistance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, another transformation occurred!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The phantom of the withered forest in the sky writhed violently—stirred by the fierce battle below and the thick aura of destruction, the spatial rift widened slightly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A more immense, purer will—filled with the sorrow of life and the fury of nature—flooded forth from the rift like a torrent, sweeping instantly across the depression!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two mysterious seedlings in Xiang Lingna’s arms blazed with violet light! Their leaves thrashed wildly! Lingna herself trembled violently, her eyes instantly filled with dense violet radiance! She seemed to lose consciousness, uttering unconsciously a haunting, ancient, sorrowful, pleading syllable—like an elf’s lament!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, the [Seed of Life] on Lin Mo’s chest blazed like a green sun, emerald light surging skyward! The progress bar for [New Territory Anchoring] skyrocketed like a mad thing—from 15% to 50%! 60%! 70%!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alarm! Alarm! Ultra-high-intensity unknown energy field detected! Threat level: Catastrophic! Recommend immediate evacuation!” Alarms shrieked frantically inside the Black Scorpion assault platforms!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nine assault platforms charging toward Lingna halted abruptly, as if hitting an invisible wall! Electronic instruments on their surfaces flickered wildly, spewing smoke; cannon charging ceased. Inside, Black Scorpion members screamed in terror!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ai Li, watching Lingna bathed in violet and green light, then gazing at the withered forest in the sky like a painting of the apocalypse, saw unprecedented shock in her cold eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo felt the surging power from the [Seed of Life] within him and the mournful natural will from the sky; a clear thought entered his mind:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>**“Save… the forest… save… my world…”**\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the cry of a dying world—a plea across dimensions! Anchoring was nearly complete. But the cost: he must answer this plea.\u003C\u002Fp>",1200,"2026-06-21T00:09:53.357Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","138f61ed762fc1daf912323a015b30ad76b029f03eaa4e7bd96cbb2f4777aed1","lord-of-all-heavens-from-a-wasteland-farm-to-a-d-chapter-30","lord-of-all-heavens-from-a-wasteland-farm-to-a-d-chapter-28",247,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flord-of-all-heavens-from-a-wasteland-farm-to-a-d-cover.jpg"]
