“The black obelisk is creating undead creatures?”

With Wu Susu’s perception, she sensed that the flesh and blood of the mutant beasts in the area were disappearing, leaving only their bones behind with flames dancing in their eyes.

In addition, the bones buried deep underground broke out of the ground and combined to form various bone creatures, but it was impossible to tell what species they were from.

“Can you see what’s happening behind the smokescreen?” Chen Yiming turned around and asked. Unless he used his spiritual power to forcefully break through the smokescreen, he could only hear the faint sound of bones colliding.

“Yes,” Wu Susu nodded and said, “The mutant beasts lost their flesh and blood, just like the undead creatures from the otherworld in the records.”

Hearing this, Chen Yiming immediately thought of the bone beast that the huge eye had mentioned. He had just killed two of its powerful subordinates, the giant snake and the sea demon.

“Other than the huge eye that first appeared, the top creatures in the dark forest world still seem to be very wary of personally making a move. Are they avoiding the war weapons? Or are they saving their strength to break out of the encirclement?”

“Besides, the cultivation level of the mutant beasts on the blue planet is limited. Even if they are all transformed into undead creatures, they will only obtain a huge army of undead at the bottom tier. Could it be that they are targeting the blockade on the moon?”

A human at the master realm could indeed be killed by the undead army.

However, for a human in the inscription realm, their body was connected to the power of nature through the mysterious symbols, and they could transfer away any damage that did not exceed their limit.

Therefore, even if they stood rooted to the ground and let the large number of undead creatures attack them, the undead creatures could not break through their defense at all. Their numbers were no longer a threat to existences of this level.

On the other hand, even if the large number of undead creatures could not do much damage to them, they could still hold them back.

“Perhaps on the blue planet monitored by the black tide, as long as the conflict is not above a certain level, the war weapons will not be triggered in advance?”

Chen Yiming thought of this possibility. The dark forest world had experienced two invasions of the black tide, so it was very likely that they knew more about the situation with the war weapons.

For example, they had first sent a few subordinates to deliberately fight with him to test the status of the war weapons. They should have obtained some relevant information that way.

…

Time quickly passed by.

All the cities around the world fell silent. The martial arts and technological power of humans had completely withdrawn into the cities which were in a defensive state, ready to fight back at any moment.

“The space plan is the most important. If the enemy doesn’t make a move, we won’t either.”

“Get everything ready for the first city-level spaceship to take off.”

At midnight, another international video conference was held urgently. They guessed that the terrifying creatures were about to break out of the encirclement, so they decided to wait and observe the situation.

At the same time, the ground control centers in the various countries started to share the surveillance footage from various places to help in choosing a time for the first city-level spaceship to take off.

…

“A giant riding a mount is charging towards the east coast of the Daxia Kingdom.”

After falling into a strangely peaceful atmosphere, Chen Yiming suddenly received an emergency call from the control center. The content of the emergency report this time was too unexpected.

The giant on the mount had appeared in the Antarctic along with the bone beast. It was not something that the giant snake and the sea demon could be compared to.

“Is it here to intimidate me and ensure the safety of the black obelisk? Or for something else?”

Chen Yiming’s expression changed multiple times. It had been hiding in the dark all this time, but now it suddenly wanted to make a move personally. What was it thinking?

“I’ll go with you.”

At this moment, Wu Susu suddenly spoke.

“You should stay here.” Chen Yiming shook his head in refusal.

He had the enhancement from two talents from the martial arts talent system, which was why he could fight someone of a higher level. Furthermore, he did not have absolute confidence that he could win, and it was even worse for others.

Wu Susu’s powerful perception, in the face of the absolute difference in strength, was as good as nothing. She might even become a hostage for the enemy.

Of course, he was not completely afraid of it.

With his powerful recovery ability, Chen Yiming was confident that he could at least deal with it for a short period of time. If they really fought, it was hard to say what would happen in the oceanic trench.

He believed that the top creatures in the forest world would not let their emotions affect their decisions. Their common goal was to escape from the moon’s blockade.

…

一眼看不到邊際的大海上.

a black-helmeted giant was riding a huge warhorse that was galloping across the surface.

Every time the horses’ hooves that were burning with black flames landed, the water from a large area would evaporate from the surface of the sea. After that, the scattered black flames in this area would leave large indentations behind.

The huge amount of seawater could not neutralize the scattered black flames. The large indentations were not filled in, leaving behind a path of black flames across the sea.

“The strongest human,”

the black-helmeted giant said as his warhorse stopped in front of a small figure.

As soon as he finished speaking, black flames lit up an area in a radius of 100 kilometers, completely sealing off the area. Anything that came into contact with the black flames would be burned to ashes on the spot.

This was a move similar to creating a domain or array formation.

“Is it trying to trap me?”

Chen Yiming’s expression was solemn as he turned to look in the direction of the oceanic trench. Nothing was happening there.

“Hahaha, as long as the power of the conflict doesn’t reach the level of the fusion realm, it won’t trigger the war weapon,” the black-helmeted giant said with a laugh.

No matter how one looked at it, Chen Yiming had taken the initiative to jump into the trap and fallen right into the enemy’s hands.

“Fusion realm?”

“So after breaking through to the inscription realm, the next realm is the fusion realm.”

He had relied on upgrading his talents to break through to the next level. No matter how much information a name contained, it would not be of much use. Of course, he did not panic even if he was trapped. The spiritual figure could help him out at any time.

After some thought, Chen Yiming probed, “Are you guys afraid that I’ll destroy the black obelisks?”

“Afraid?”

“Hahaha!”

The black-helmeted giant laughed again. After laughing, he said, “Cherish your last moments. In any case, you don’t have long to live!”

“It seems that the black-helmeted giant will make a move before trying to break out of the encirclement.”

Although the other party didn’t specify its next move, it was undoubtedly treating Chen Yiming as though he was a turtle in a jar and was confident that he could end the battle quickly.

Under normal circumstances, those at the fusion realm, which was a level higher, indeed had the combat strength to crush those at the inscription realm.

However, the black-helmeted giant, who was working with the bone beast, didn’t know the truth about his situation and didn’t take Chen Yiming seriously.

…

Just as Chen Yiming was trapped by the black flames, something strange happened around all the human cities. First, mysterious symbols appeared on the ground. These symbols circled the cities, as if a ritual was about to be held.

Immediately after, a triangle formed by mysterious symbols appeared from the center of each city. The three corners were connected to the large circle of unknown symbols that surrounded each city.

When the large circle and triangle were completed, other than those above the warrior realm, all the ordinary people collapsed.

Some warriors tried to rush out of the city, but when they crossed the line of the circle, they were burned to ashes on the spot by an invisible force. They could not even make a sound before they fell.

“All the cities are surrounded through an unknown ritual!”

At the international video conference, after confirming the situation of the other countries, they panicked. The appearance of the unknown ritual meant that the enemy dared to make a move to attack the humans.

This kind of indiscriminate action against all the human cities was too unbelievable and beyond everyone’s expectations.

Chen Yiming, who represented the strongest martial arts power among humans, was facing the black-helmeted giant. There was no news from him, and it seemed like he couldn’t provide any support.

Then, in the middle of each triangle, a black line formed by mysterious symbols extended out, pointing straight at the black obelisk that was closest to each city.

…

On the snowy mountain,

half of the mountain that was formed by ice crystals shattered, revealing a door-like hole. The snow beast inside looked up at the starry sky. The huge eye shone with a flickering light.

“Those two guys are too bold!”

The snow beast’s deep black eyes did not move at all. A dull sound echoed through the snow mountain and spread out from the gap.

“Those two guys were too optimistic. They wanted to take advantage of the fact that the war weapon had yet to be completely formed to suddenly use the Yin and Yang formations to use up the life force of the people on the entire planet to hold back the blockade.

However, humans aren’t easy to deal with. Other than Chen Yiming, there are also people hiding in the dark who can break the connection between the Yin and Yang formations.”

The huge eye immediately recalled the spiritual creature that had been revived.

Drawing a single Yin formation and a single Yang formation could be completed very quickly, but it would take a long time for the Yin and Yang formations on the entire planet to be connected.

If a large number of Yin and Yang formations were destroyed during this period, there would be problems with the sacrificial ritual, and it might even result in a failure.

After all, it was easy to destroy them, but it was very difficult to protect all the Yin and Yang formations at once, even if the bone beast controlled them with all its might.

“However, although we can buy some time by forcefully cutting off the conditions for the black tide to descend, we might have to face an endless pursuit after escaping the blockade,” the snow beast said with a sigh.

The snow beast knew that even with the combined strength of the entire dark forest world, they could not withstand the terrifying power of the black tide. Therefore, it did not dare to fight it head-on and had always focused on survival.

As for the bone beast and the black-helmeted giant, they seemed to be courting death and actually took the initiative to anger the black tide.

…

Within the domain formed by the black flames, after receiving the news from the spiritual figure, Chen Yiming immediately made arrangements to destroy the mysterious symbols in the cities and the black obelisks as soon as possible.

When he came back to his senses, he was furious. How could it be a good thing to make a move on all the human cities at once?

“Giant transformation!”

With a low grunt, Chen Yiming’s figure expanded gradually, turning into a 1,000-meter-tall giant on the spot.

“Hahaha!”

The black-helmeted giant opposite him laughed again, as if it was mocking him since it was too late to do anything about the situation. Furthermore, he had taken the initiative to step into the trap it had set up.

How could a mere human at the inscription realm fight against it, who was at the fusion realm?

If they stayed in the human cities, it would be difficult for them to make a move. This was because they had only one chance to launch a large-scale attack on the creatures that the black tide had targeted.

It had to deal a heavy blow to the moon’s blockade and quickly escape from it.

“Boom!”

The battle between the giants quickly started. There were not many fancy moves, only the collision of their bodies that were strengthened by the mysterious symbols.

In the first round, the black-helmeted giant and its mount took a few steps back. As for Chen Yiming, he was sent flying and crashed into the black flames. His huge body was burned by the black flames.

“An attack that combined one’s essence, energy, and spirit actually didn’t destroy him?”

The black-helmeted giant was a little surprised. Compared to the inscription realm, the power of the fusion realm was a huge improvement. It should have been a crushing defeat.

In the fusion realm, essence represented the body’s strength, energy represented the power of nature, and spirit represented the power of the mind. The three were fused together with the mysterious symbols as a medium, causing a terrifying qualitative change in the level of strength.

In the history of the dark forest world, it was always ruled by creatures at the fusion realm. The main reason was that when those at the inscription realm faced those at the fusion realm, they would be defeated based solely on the difference in their strength.

At this moment, Chen Yiming gritted his teeth and stood up.

“It hurts!”

The moment he was hit by the other party’s attack, his entire body felt like it was about to split open. This was something that had never happened when he was facing the huge eye. Perhaps this was the true strength of the fusion realm.

In the previous conflict with the huge eye, the other party had not had the chance to display its true strength.

Fortunately, he had the enhancement from two talents, and his physique was stronger than one could imagine. As long as he was not completely unable to withstand it, he would be able to recover quickly.

On the other hand, the black flames were just tickling him. Even though he was burning up, the damage caused to his body was actually not as fast as his recovery speed.

“Oh?”

“He recovered!”

The black-helmeted giant’s pupils constricted. He had thought that this human would either die or lose his ability to fight, but he seemed to have recovered completely.

The expression on its big face went from slightly surprised to truly surprised.

It had never seen such a terrifying physique. If it was at the same level, it would not have dared to imagine it. Perhaps the outcome would be completely the opposite, and it would be crushed by this human.

The black-helmeted giant suddenly looked at the distant land and seemed to be puzzled.

According to their plan, the ritual should have already started by this time. After it unleashed an attack at the fusion realm and killed the strongest human, they would enter the stage of escaping the blockade.

This was because be it sacrificing the living creatures on the entire planet or unleashing attacks at the level of the fusion realm, their actions would be detected by the war weapons.

It could be said that there was no way out. They would be chased down by the war weapons.

Chen Yiming smiled.

On the talent panel, because the spiritual figure was quickly destroying the black obelisks everywhere and destroying the traces of spiritual will contained in each mysterious symbol, he was getting closer and closer to his Level-6 swordsmanship talent.

There was another piece of good news. The one who was secretly controlling all of this was forced to use the mysterious symbols to resist the destruction caused by the spiritual figure from a distance.

In terms of spiritual confrontation, his swordsmanship talent had always been very effective against spiritual power. At the moment, the ritual had stopped, and the speed of destruction far exceeded the speed of recovery.

Not long after.

The spiritual figure that had broken through to the fusion realm turned into a divine sword on the spot. A sword-shaped mark appeared in the middle of the hilt. This was the ultimate secret of the fusion realm.
