The blue-green glow on the thornsteel armor plates flickered like weary breaths. At the rampart’s summit, the few remaining thornsteel wasp nest turrets had dimmed emitters, and the massive iron-thorn wheel had ceased turning; even the groundfire glow from the furnace zone seemed dimmer than before. Seven days had passed since Lin Mo and Wrench left. The territory was shrouded in oppressive silence, broken only by the low rumble of the furnace and the clinking of craftsmen repairing armor, hammering against frayed nerves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Copperbeard stood atop the rampart’s highest point, his mechanical eye scanning toward the withered forest, his thick brows knotted into a knot. The dwarf’s rough fingers unconsciously rubbed the cold hammerhead of his forge hammer, still stained with purple-black residue from the previous insect tide. Ali and Lingna still slept beside the earth vein fissure; the new sprout atop the World Tree’s tender branch glowed faintly, like a candle in the wind. The sanctuary core’s link was barely a whisper, transmitting only intermittent, warning pulses: 【...rotclaw...mark...active...danger...】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Copperbeard! The probe’s reacting! Deep in the withered forest! Massive energy buildup!” A nomad warrior shouted in terror before the backup detector left behind by Wrench, his voice piercing the dead silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Copperbeard’s heart clenched as he lunged toward the detector screen. A vast region deep in the withered forest blazed with dense clusters of purple dots—signs of high-concentration decay energy—boiling and converging like molten lava! The scale far exceeded any previous insect tide! More chilling still, at the heart of the purple sea, several colossal, mountain-sized crimson dots were forming!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fuck! The big one’s coming!” Copperbeard’s roar exploded like thunder, shattering the territory’s stillness! “All hands—maximum alert! To the rampart! Polish those gun muzzles! Furnace—burn it to the max!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The piercing alarm tore through the wasteland’s sky once more! Nomad warriors surged from every corner, faces etched with fear but dominated by the ferocity of the cornered. They seized crude weapons and charged the rampart, taking their positions. The few remaining wasp nest turrets began struggling to charge, orange-red light gathering at their mouths. The heavy iron-thorn wheels groaned as gears turned, reactivated by furnace waste heat, emitting grating, teeth-chilling friction as they slowly accelerated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Copperbeard leapt into the furnace zone, his massive mechanical hand slamming down on several thick energy conduit valves!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Burn it—for me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM—!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The earth vein furnace erupted in an unprecedented roar! Orange-red groundfire surged forth like an angry dragon! Enormous energy was forcibly diverted: part channeled into the rampart’s energy shield core, causing the shield’s glow to instantly surge, forming a dense orange-red barrier around the outer wall; the rest flooded into the thornsteel armor’s internal energy veins, turning the blue-green glow blazing bright, like red-hot irons!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Thornheart, this battered war machine, under Copperbeard’s roar, forcibly squeezed out its last strength and bared its remaining fangs!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the horizon’s edge, the gray sky was utterly swallowed by a churning, tar-like wave of purple-black! This was no insect tide—it was a flood of destruction composed of countless, even more twisted and furious withered monsters! Rotting tree giants stomped with earth-shaking steps, each footprint leaving behind scorched earth ablaze with purple fire; siege beasts forged from bones and slime roared with ear-splitting fury; in the sky, vast clouds of larger, rotting flying dragons, like clouds of death, surged forward first!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the forefront of the flood, three terrifying figures, each as massive as moving mountains, radiated suffocating pressure! Their bodies were highly corrupted giant radiation scorpions, but their carapaces were covered in thick clusters of withered crystal, and their tails replaced by massive cannons oozing purple-black energy—【Corrupted Scorpion Artillery】! The crystal clusters on their backs flashed wildly, launching three thick, ultra-condensed beams of purple-black energy—like spears of hellish judgment—that instantly crossed space and slammed into the Stone Rampart!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shield—full power!” Copperbeard’s eyes bulged with rage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ZZZZ—!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The orange-red shield on the rampart flared to its brightest!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three destruction beams struck the shield! The impact shook the entire rampart violently! The shield’s surface erupted with blinding energy turbulence, sinking inward like a stone hitting water! After only seconds, accompanied by a heart-rending shattering sound, the orange-red shield exploded! The residual energy blast slammed into the thornsteel armor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SSZZZZ—!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impacted zones blazed with frantic blue-green light, resisting—but the armor plates were still forcibly melted and eroded into three enormous, charred pits with edges dripping purple-black sludge! Molten metal dripped like blood! Internal energy circuits instantly overloaded and burned out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Armor damaged in B2, C5, E7 zones! Shield core overloaded and shut down! Cooling needed! Cooling!” The monitoring nomad warrior’s voice cracked with tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cooling my ass! No time!” Copperbeard roared. “Wasp nests—fire! Take out those giant scorpions!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>TSSS-TSSS-TSSS—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining wasp nest turrets on the rampart spat out orange-red pulse nets toward the flying dragons and the flood’s vanguard! But the fire was sparse, ineffective. The iron-thorn wheels spun wildly, shredding a few approaching withered beasts—but were quickly drowned by the tide of monsters behind them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Corrupted Scorpion Artillery recharged. The destruction beams flared again—targeting the rampart’s most damaged zones! This time, no shield stood in their way!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despair engulfed the rampart!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this critical moment—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ZZZZ!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint but stubborn emerald glow, like a fire kindled in darkness, spread from the direction of the earth vein fissure! The source: Lingna!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unconscious girl had somehow sat up, eyes closed, her small body enveloped in a thick emerald aura! Her hands pressed unconsciously into the ground, fingers buried deep in the scorched soil. The withered World Tree sprout floated before her, its nearly extinguished new bud frantically drawing life force from Lingna’s body, radiating unprecedented emerald brilliance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thorn...heart...protect...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lingna’s unconscious murmur echoed like an ancient incantation in every heart!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At her voice, the pale gold vines clinging to the rampart came alive! They grew wildly, coiled, weaving into a vast vine net covering the damaged armor zones, their surfaces flowing with dense emerald light. Simultaneously, countless roots, armored with rock and thornwood spines, burst from the ground—not to attack, but like loyal guards, layer upon layer, forming a barrier of thorned roots before the rampart!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The destruction beams slammed into the vine net and thorned root barrier!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SSSSS—!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A piercing melting sound rose! The vines withered and burned under the beams! The rock armor of the thorn roots was melted through, the spines snapped! But their sacrifice was not in vain! The emerald light flowing through the vines and the tenacious will embedded in the thorn roots drastically weakened the beams’ power! When the beams finally pierced the barrier and struck the rampart armor, they left only deeper scorch marks along the edges of the earlier pits—no new structural damage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lingna’s body trembled violently; a trickle of blood seeped from her lips, and the emerald aura around her dimmed considerably. The new bud atop the sprout visibly withered. But the rampart had withstood the lethal blow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good girl!” Copperbeard’s eyes filled with tears as he roared thunderously, “Brothers! Lingna bought us time! Furnace cooled! Shield—light it up again!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ZZZZ—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the damaged zones, emergency energy circuits were forcibly connected—a thin but fiercely resilient orange-red shield rose once more!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Thornheart, stirred by the sprout’s power awakened unconsciously by Lingna, straightened its spine once more in despair. But the withered tide had only just begun its assault!\u003C\u002Fp>",1246,"2026-06-21T00:09:53.357Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a48e987bbd68b5006ffb9b651fe8b6267d52d87dfb9f4df0a1ff2c8d6efd81e9","lord-of-all-heavens-from-a-wasteland-farm-to-a-d-chapter-87","lord-of-all-heavens-from-a-wasteland-farm-to-a-d-chapter-85",247,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flord-of-all-heavens-from-a-wasteland-farm-to-a-d-cover.jpg"]
