A surge of blue rose from the dark gray tide. At first, it was just a small patch, but it quickly gained momentum. In almost an instant, it transformed the entire sky. The Hundred Great battlefield's base, shrouded in a semi-transparent energy shield, was completely enveloped in blue. Everyone seemed to be submerged in a vast blue ocean. But that blue evoked no positive emotions; instead, it conveyed sadness, anxiety, and decay.
Like a dead sea filled with corpses and memories. It weighed heavily on everyone's hearts, making it hard to breathe. Within the blue sea, an immense, indescribable shadow was faintly visible. And countless eyes, peering coldly through that shimmering blue veil, watched everyone below. A profound sense of sorrow and despair quickly spread throughout the area. Everyone seemed to be experiencing a natural death, silently awaiting their own demise and decay.
Even the three members of Haiji Dao's group were no exception. Until a soft, cold snort rang in everyone's ears.
"Zekareia Abbott..."
Mokodo's figure appeared in everyone's sight at some point. Her six eyes coldly stared at the enormous shadow behind the blue sea, uttering a long, strange name. Her voice pulled everyone back from their inexplicable, eerie emotional state.
Before anyone could react to what had happened, the shadow behind the sea seemed to roar as well. Immediately afterward, an indescribably magnificent aurora flashed before everyone's eyes. The Dead Sea in the sky suddenly parted, and the figure of the Chief Star Elder Mokodo vanished.
The enormous shadow behind the blue curtain also disappeared. The two seemed to have entered another dimension to fight. That was a battle between level 14 Law Realm experts, one that even Haiji Dao and his companions were not qualified to interfere or spy on.
But the blue sea remained. The blackish-gray waves beneath that sea surged and rapidly expanded. Upon closer inspection, they became visible. Within the blackish-gray waves were countless grotesque, deformed, hideous Beasts. And several of the leading Beasts, especially large, emanated an aura nearly as powerful as Haiji Dao's group.
Level 13 Beast Generals. Four of them! One more than Haiji Dao and his companions.
"One for each of you."
The imposing middle-aged man among the three spoke quickly, "The remaining one will be handled by the base's defense system!"
Hai Jidao and the blonde woman nodded, offering no objections.
"#￥*"
The imposing middle-aged man tapped his communication device, quickly sending two instructions. Then, the void beside him suddenly split open, spewing forth a torrent of scorching magma. A battle blade, as large as a door and glowing crimson, surged from the magma and the man seized it.
"Fight!"
The man roared, as if a million volcanoes of lava were erupting simultaneously within him. He was engulfed in the billowing magma, transforming into a colossal magma dragon tens of thousands of kilometers long, unleashing a raging inferno as it charged straight towards the horde of Alien Beasts.
Haiji Dao and the blonde woman were equally unyielding. One was grey, the other white, both exuding an astonishing aura. The three level 13 powerhouses transformed into arrows, their bodies becoming the spearheads, piercing fiercely into the Alien Beast army.
This scene instantly ignited the morale and fighting spirit of all the warriors in the Hundred Great battlefield base below. The crowd roared in fury, officially throwing themselves into the battle. The level 14 Chief Star Elder and the level 13 Deputy Star Elders were leading the charge; what reason would they have to retreat?!
"Boom!"
With the activation of the war machines on the base fortress's defense system, the battle between the Starry Sky Humans and the Alien Beasts officially began.
Looking down from above, beneath the grey-blue sky, two black torrents collided violently.
"Die!"
Green lightning instantly pierced through tens of thousands of miles. Along the way, all the Alien Beasts, whether level 11 or 12, were reduced to dust, leaving not a trace.
Anon Turing still charged across the battlefield like a war god. Having comprehended twenty rules of power, he had been invincible in the level 12 domain. Yes. Until yesterday...
Now Anon would have to add "virtually" invincible. Thinking this, he subconsciously glanced again at the location of the silver cocoon, which remained silent, its tranquility unchanged. It was the cause of this battle of protection, yet it seemed detached, indifferent to all the blood and fire around it.
"Forty-three..! Forty-three Rule Powers, at level 12!" Anon gritted his teeth, whether out of jealousy or something else.
Before the appearance of this silver cocoon, he was the sole legend of the Hundred Great District. He represented the pinnacle of all the talents in the district, a limit that trillions of beings could not surpass. He possessed immortality; even the level 14 Lord Mokodo had personally praised him, saying that he was likely to surpass him in the future and he could become an existence above level 14. But all of this, after a silver cocoon appeared out of nowhere… completely changed.
"No! How could I be inferior to him? I am the greatest glory in the history of the Turing family! I was born extraordinary!"
Anon Turing's eyes showed barely perceptible bloodshot veins. The carnage, death, and chaos of the battlefield caused a subtle shift in his mindset. The silver cocoon of light flashed in his mind every few seconds, causing a vein on his forehead to throb violently.
Suddenly, he lunged fiercely at the General-level Beast facing the base's troops, almost completely melting into a burst of deep green lightning.
"I am still the most talented! No one can replace me!"
"Boom!"
The sound of the green lightning colliding with the level 13 Beast attracted the attention of many on the field. The three members of the Haiji Dao team, who were locked in fierce combat with their respective opponents, slightly changed their expressions, but when the green lightning dissipated, Anon's figure reappeared. The three quickly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Impressive, as expected of Anon."
The imposing man, shrouded in magma, uttered a word of praise.
Haiji Dao and the blonde woman nodded slightly as well. But that was all. In the past, they might have uttered even deeper exclamations of amazement, but now...didn't they see that there was an ultimate monster who could kill a level 13 at level 11?
Then a level 12 could fight a level 13. No need to make a fuss about it.
"Die! Die!"
At this moment, Anon's entire body shone with numerous beautiful and complex green patterns. His Immortal Blood was pushed to its limit. Green energy in his hands transformed into lightning, flames, hail, swords, and various other forms, frantically bombarding the General-level Beast before him.
His power originated from his Immortal Physique. This green energy was thousands of times stronger than the power of an ordinary martial artist, and it could simulate any known energy attribute in the universe, possessing powerful adaptability. It was Anon's most reliable asset, and his greatest pride as the number one genius of the Hundred Great Star District.
Anon Turing had every reason to be proud. At level 12, he relied solely on his unparalleled talent to fight a level 13 General-level Beast to a standstill. Even as his Blood power continued to surge, he was steadily gaining the upper hand.

Hmm, that's a lot. A bit too much?
