"Finally, this moment has come."
On the top floor of Tianlong Pavilion, the old man looked at the peerless sword light outside the window, his eyes flickering.
No one knew how much pressure he had endured over the past few months.
Although a series of measures against the end of the world had been carried out, everything was still built on one premise: the meteorite's fall. If the meteorite had not fallen, the old man would have stepped down immediately, leaving Tianlong Pavilion, the highest center of power.
"If the notice continues, the New Xia Kingdom Plan will be launched immediately. At the same time, all military regions will go on standby, ready to enter the mountains and forests and clear out the ferocious beasts within Xia Kingdom territory as soon as possible."
The old man waved his hand. The guard beside him picked up the encrypted communicator and repeated the order to the other end.
The New Xia Kingdom Plan, also known as the Great Power Rise Plan.
This was a course of action jointly formulated by Huang and the old man. It covered all measures taken after the meteorite fell, including reforming the national system, cultivating warriors within the military regions, blocking foreign infiltration, and more.
Their ideas were bold and fierce.
Make the Xia Kingdom an absolutely safe zone. Eliminate all high-threat ferocious beasts, and only retain some small ferocious beasts that could not be eradicated.
At the same time, they would wait for the lands of other countries to fall, turning completely into paradises for vicious beasts.
In this way, even if there were no ferocious beasts left inside the Xia Kingdom, the Xia State could still have a steady stream of ferocious beast corpses as materials to develop genetic medicines and related items.
Cruel. Realistic.
Because aside from the Xia Kingdom, other countries had no ability to protect themselves from the vicious beasts.
As for asking Xia to send troops to protect them?
Haha.
It wasn't impossible, as long as they agreed to let Xia's flag be planted on their land.
Boom! Boom!
Jiang Yi walked through the skies over the Xia Kingdom, watching from above as the nation's war machine roared into full operation.
Countless soldiers surged toward every part of the country in military trucks and super-large transport aircraft.
All areas with mountains, ravines, deep ranges, and old forests were ordered sealed off. Even native ethnic minorities would be forcibly relocated by soldiers.
The slaughter had begun.
[Fire-control radar locked. Large-target life signs confirmed. Missile loading complete. TCR1-1 rocket nests in position.]
At each of the sixteen key bombing sites, more than five rocket nests were deployed, each packed with hundreds of loaded rockets.
Before the people could even react, the strikes began, locking onto the large ferocious beasts within the Xia Kingdom, including the future-famous Golden-Winged Roc and the Mountain-Shaking Giant Ape.
Huang intended to kill these top-tier ferocious beasts, the ones that in the early days of the end would have slaughtered the people of the Xia Kingdom.
Bang! Bang! Bang! … Bang! Bang!
It was as if the launches happened within a single second, like firecrackers rising and falling in an unbroken chain.
Countless rockets erupted from the mouths of the nests, like arrows released from the string, tearing open the sky and leaving crisscrossing trails.
They interwove and dotted the heavens, forming a painting that was beautiful and murderous.
Roar!!!
A massive ferocious beast sprang out from the mountain forest, trying to escape the saturation bombardment.
It failed.
It was blown apart in midair, its remains falling from the sky and smashing into the ground.
Huang wore the newly developed combat uniform of Xia Guo, a custom-made sword in hand, standing at the very front line of the army.
He held his breath and focused, as if he were waiting for something.
Then, suddenly, a terrifying cry erupted from the forest ahead.
Screeeech!!!
A streak of golden lightning coiled through the sky. It slipped through the rocket net with ease, then shot straight toward the army at a terrifying speed.
"B*****d… I've finally waited for you!"
Huang's eyes turned razor-sharp. He leaped up with his sword.
The recoil of that instant cracked the earth beneath his feet.
This was the terrifying physical quality of a third-level warrior.
His blood and aura alone were enough to shake heaven and earth.
Hiss…
Time seemed to freeze.
The Golden-Winged Roc tore out of the forest. Before it could kill a single human, a small, terrifying figure suddenly appeared in front of it, like a devil stepping out of thin air.
He looked no different from the "ants" and "reptiles" on the surface.
And yet what he radiated was an oppressive pressure without limit.
One slash.
A bright silver line was carved between heaven and earth.
The Golden-Winged Roc beat its wings instinctively, trying to flee the reach of that sword light, only to realize it could no longer control its own body.
Not only its wings, but its head, its torso, its claws.
Everything was severed and collapsed in an instant.
In the end, it became a rain of blood and shattered flesh, clattering down upon the ground.
"Golden-Winged Roc. Deal with it."
Huang dropped from the air, smashing a deep pit into the earth.
His expression remained indifferent.
In his previous life within the dream, he had successfully killed a Golden-Winged Roc once.
But for the soldiers present, what they had witnessed was the birth of a myth.
In their eyes, it was as if a dazzling new star had risen.
It shone upon the land of the Xia Kingdom and hung high above the blue star.
On this day, myth stepped into reality.
A Golden-Winged Roc emerged from the east and was killed by Wu Zu with a single sword.
"So this is a warrior…"
"At the end of the world, when ferocious beasts come, humans can also become extraordinary beings between heaven and earth!"
Hearts pounded wildly. A fierce desire was born in everyone's chest.
They wished they could begin practicing the "Basic Body Training Method for Warriors" on the spot.
Seeing the soldiers' burning eyes, Huang smiled faintly and said nothing more.
He understood exactly what they were thinking.
And it was a good thing.
Because in the coming evolutionary frenzy, he alone would not be able to protect Xia.
Only when more powerful warriors appeared, stationed throughout the Xia Kingdom and along its borders, could true prosperity be ensured.
"Strength… I still need stronger strength…"
Huang lifted his gaze to the sky and murmured to himself.
When he thought of the incomparably powerful Devouring Behemoth from his dream, an invisible pressure always descended upon him, urging him forward.
