In the distance, a thunderous roar arose.

At this moment, as the beautiful Transformation spread from within the soul, the incomplete giant laughed wildly, raised its head, and looked at its greatest benefactor, the instigator of all this, Ji Jue!

A murderous intent, hideous.

With a casual reach, it pulled out an Iron Stone Sword dozens of meters long from the earth's veins!

Racing forth from the roaring tremors—

In that instant, on the celestial dome, as the torrential rain ended, the dark clouds gradually dispersed from the fierce wind, and on the pitch-black night sky, dazzling brilliance emerged.

So splendid, so numerous...

That it was impossible to distinguish between the flames and the stars!

Among the dim stars, even more glorious flames ascended, soaring above the firmament, swirling around, trailing one luminous arc after another.

As if the sky was spinning.

"From the Kunwu Plateau to the nearest coast, it's just over a thousand kilometers. By airship, it takes four hours; by car on a straight path, it takes a whole day; walking, perhaps five to six months to a year.

But for hypersonic missiles, it only takes ten minutes...

Or even shorter."

At this moment, the steel stars reigned above the storm, overlooking the earth, tearing through the clouds, having long awaited this moment!

Earlier, mere minutes ago, when the Blood Rain lost control and the Nether Sea Worm manifested, breaking through the natural disaster blockade, the signal had already been sent through the storm.

Even the gale and electromagnetic interference shrouding most of the Federation couldn't block the most primitive, simplest beacon. The racing signal flare broke through the barrier of clouds and Thunderbolt, suddenly exploding, flashes of light bursting forth, captured entirely by the observing satellite.

In just a few seconds, the intermittent lights converted into binary signals, activating previously prepared commands.

Immediately, in the coastal region closest to Kunwu, atop the turbulent, unresting sea, amidst dense fog, a mighty roar could be heard.

The long-waiting gigantic cargo ship emerged from the mist, then shed its shackles, containers falling from its topmost layer, and into the sea, countless rubber ducks and toys floated with the waves and vanished. And beneath, what rose were missile launch racks, towering like forests, adjusted in angle and direction, one green light after another lit up on the indicator panel.

Within the ship's hull, mercury flowed in uncountable quantities under the command of the Spirit of Workshop, coordinating with the transport system with hundreds of mechanical arms moving in sync.

Just like what Isis once said in farewell — ever since the first day Ji Jue left, the workshop's relocation had commenced, with periodical reports sent to Ji Jue's inbox for review. Now, the great work was finally completed.

In just a few days, the whole workshop had been moved onto the drifting Prosperity at sea, and the former cargo ship, under alchemy's transformation, had turned into an authentic long-range firepower launch site!

Now, executing the command from the Creator.

All ammunition prepare, launch immediately!

Coverage strike, continue until depleted!

Carrying Lv Yingyue's signed permit, the missiles transported by the truckloads from the Hai Province garrison base's warehouse, at this moment, rose like stars into the air!

Hundreds, thousands, converging into a torrent, like countless steel stars suddenly rising from the dark deep sea, returning to the high heavens!

Raging wildly over the thick clouds, mighty in force, heading toward Kunwu.

Meanwhile, a permit for artificial rain removal had been uploaded to the observation centers along the route, as countless missiles disguised as rain-making shells swept through without any radar along the path showing any reaction, as if dead.

In the Central City Security Bureau headquarters' break room, the old man hung up the phone, yawned nonchalantly, uninterested.

Fight all you like!

After flipping the tables, even the guardian airship can explode, they dared to use the Mutant calamity, so what's the big deal with a few more missiles now?

In just a short ten minutes, when the omnipresent clouds dissipated, the revealed dark night sky delivered Destruction's light, descending from the heavens!

While running, the giant dazedly raised its head.

Stunned in place.

As if unable to react—

Finally looked back toward the distant Ji Jue.

Ji Jue was looking at him too.

Finally raised the cup, as if to say farewell.

He said, "Goodbye."

—Boom!

A fierce light descended from the sky, flames spread, rose, evaporating a mass of blood, carving a scorching red fissure upon the ground.

Thick smoke billowed into the sky, violent shockwaves engulfed with a massive amount of metallic shards, swallowing that figure completely.

A roar of anger rose from the flames, the giant extended a hand, suddenly caught the descending missile, crushed it, iron walls rose, resisting the impact from outside, but then the iron wall suddenly crumbled, dissolved.

Another fierce light descended, and then another, the third, the fourth, the fifth…

After the rainstorm ended, yet another rainstorm began.

Only this time, it wasn't rain, blood, and wailing but pure metal, flame, and annihilation. Countless fragmented Corrupted Metal shot, spread, pierced and swept back and forth. Time and again, they crumbled and reshaped the defenses.

Amid the earth-shaking tumult, a roar erupted again.

The indistinct figure roared, hurled the Iron Stone Sword toward Ji Jue, but upon release, it veered off course in the explosion and impact. Even lifting a large section of earth onto itself was futile as the hastily solidified iron stone couldn't resist the explosion's impact, let alone, it was mingled with countless sword blade shards.

One round of rainstorm followed by another round of rainstorm, one round of Destruction immediately followed by another round of Destruction. It was interspersed with many Mutant weapons personally crafted by Ji Jue, the Mutation and pollution spread, eroding the soul that had just transcended the mundane world.

At this moment, even constructing the Circle Realm was powerless.

Just a little less than ten kilometers away felt like the distance from Hell to the human world, so far apart.

Even hurling ultra-dense materials in hysteria couldn't hit the target, and if they did, they were shielded by the giant shield formed by the Dragon Mountain Armor.

The Transcend Rank Chosen One, formed by mass, at this moment quickly shattered under a greater mass level, unable to even maintain its form.

When he instinctively wanted to dive into the earth, he found that below the ground, long since Ji Jue planted numerous obstacles and interferences when the Blood Rain still existed. The restless mountains and earth veins had slipped from control, unresponsive to his call, even subtly opposing him under the malice planted long ago!

"Too early."

In the searing hot wind, Ji Jue sighed softly: "Originally, I planned to drag it out a bit more, endure a bit more, attract a few more fools, and finally wipe them out in Hai Province.

Now, it seems no one dares to come anymore.

Oh well, sooner is better."

He shrugged indifferently, "Lest dreams grow longer with the night."

Boom!!!

Amidst the intense bombings and fierce flames, the silhouette of a giant reappeared.

The soul burns, sacrificing itself!

Yue Chen roared, spreading his arms without restraint. The incomplete Circle Realm he hadn't finished constructing forcibly unfolded around him, appearing quite disheveled.

Within the mere few meters wide Circle Realm, vague phantoms of mountains appeared, constantly cracking under the impact of heaven-shattering and earth-splitting forces.

He won a crucial moment of respite.

On the chest of the headless giant, crystal stones like eyes burst forth with blood-red light, locking onto Ji Jue's direction, unleashing all its power, spewing flames like an explosion, turning itself into a meteor, propelling forward.

The Iron Stone Sword condensed again, endlessly collapsing and condensing, turning pitch black, showing extreme brutality.

After forcefully withstanding those dozens of explosions from the sky, it sprinted forward with all remaining power, without holding back!

If winning is impossible, then let's perish together!

"Ji Jue—"

Before that, An Ning was already on edge, her instincts alarmed.

But a hand pressed on her shoulder.

"No worries."

Ji Jue still sat in the same spot, unmoving.

But the incomplete Dragon Mountain Armor had already stepped out from behind An Ning, coldly staring at the giant charging through hell!

At the moment of collision, Dragon Mountain stepped forward.

A remnant of light flashed!

As they brushed past each other, the unadorned and unremarkable Pan Ying Sword slashed out, effortlessly severing the descending Iron Stone Sword before sweeping across the giant's chest.

Finally, it returned to its sheath.

Flawless execution.

Just a brief clash, yet that incomplete armor still stood steadfast, unshaken.

Only a storm-like blaze surged and expanded.

The collapsing torrent of Iron Stone had already rushed past Ji Jue, scattering uncontrollably, crashing into a mountain that broke in half, carving out a deep and despairing chasm.

A towering mountain remains unfinished, an effort wasted at the last moment.

"What a pity."

Ji Jue lowered his gaze, looking at the cup filled with dust and rubble, sighed regretfully, "I wasn't done drinking."

In his eyes, a faint light silently extinguished.

In that very moment, the Hai Xiang Mirror reflected once more, overlooking everything — the countless cracks over the Circle Realm, the sporadic flow of spiritual substance, the riddled body, the glaring weaknesses, all on the brink of collapse, fully entering Ji Jue's perception...

As clear as day.

All he needed to do was add the last insignificant straw to the dying camel at the perfect spot.

With a single strike, the dying giant was severed at the waist!

After the brief joy and shattered dream, death arrived...

Beneath the crevice, rock fragments shattered and peeled off the giant's remains, revealing a broken face. Yue Chen panted heavily, struggling, but could no longer feel the mountains' response or his limbs' presence.

Only the sound of footsteps grew closer, so gently.

The blurry figure became clearer.

Ji Jue.

"You... what the hell..."

Yue Chen rasped, fixating on that approaching face, but ultimately lacked the strength to raise his hand again, ending with a self-deprecating sigh, "I underestimated you... not a wrongful defeat."

Ji Jue did not respond.

From start to finish, that face showed no expression, cold and calm.

Unwavering.

He merely lifted his left hand, which still had some sensation left, and then, a single finger slowly pointed out, touching the shattered heart, sending a wisp of spiritual substance, causing a ripple.

Dissociation Technique!

Then, the Matrix collapsed, the blessing faded, and the last spiritual substance evaporated from the burnt soul, returning to the mountains, never to be seen again.

Not until the last sound completely vanished did Ji Jue finally relax, struggling to stand.

There was no choice, the Ruins' life was incredibly tenacious, surviving even dozens of missile strikes, still breathing with a shattered soul, requiring him to deliver the final strike.

Wait, did he say something just now?

I didn't hear it clearly.

He shook his head, dusting off the dirt and small stones shaken into his ears by the gale, his ears still ringing.

At this moment, he looked back at the now unfamiliar mountains, the lingering bloodstains and scorched earth. Amidst the muddy blood, the remaining flames still burned fiercely, thick smoke rising from the mutant distorted corpses.

Such a scene was truly… invigorating!

"Hoo—"

He exhaled, emotionally remarked, "What an exhilarating battle!"

"Ah!!!"

The scream arose, not far away.

An Ning stared wide-eyed, finally delayed in reacting, incredulously, "You, didn't you say you couldn't move?"

"Hmm? Did I say that?"

Ji Jue tilted his head, puzzled, thought for a moment, and upon seeing her angry expression, suddenly laughed.

Full of joy.

"I was fooling you."
