The Dao is obscure, and the Law never operates in vain.
Wang Ji Xuan felt a myriad of sensations flowing through his mind, golden light flickering between his brows, his Dao Heart dwelling in a state of serene clarity.
The Niwan Palace transforms, the Purple Mansion conceals the soul;
The meridians merge with the body, the Qi Sea fills to the brim.
When the Dao Body becomes complete and freely returns to emptiness, it signifies the fourth realm of Foundation Establishment!
Wang Ji Xuan was not in a hurry.
If a newly initiated cultivator were to undergo this stage, they would likely proceed directly upon experiencing a sense of free and complete integration.
But Wang Ji Xuan was different.
Having the experience of his previous cultivation, he was in no rush this time.
He was surrounded by his own people, and the transport aircraft had already entered the airspace of the D5 war zone, ensuring his safety.
He now had to seize this opportunity to purify the remaining demonic Qi within his body, resolving the aftereffects of his previous continuous use of demonic techniques, so as not to leave too many deficiencies when forging his perfect Dao Foundation later.
In fact, Wang Ji Xuan now understood that there was no such thing as a perfect Dao Foundation.
Even if the Dao Foundation was complete, it could still be continuously thickened and deepened. When he stood at the peak of the Mahayana stage and looked back, an bloated Dao Foundation would only hinder his cultivation progress.
What suits oneself, finding the most comfortable range, is the true principle of Foundation Establishment cultivation.
'Comfort zone… This humble Daoist can be said to be putting what he has learned into practice.'
He calmed his mind and entered a meditative state, immersing himself in the Immortal Dao, unaware that his old friend was about to encounter some unexpected dangers.
…
Accompanied by the noise of the aircraft's engines, Uncle Tai soon became drowsy.
He had not had a good rest for six consecutive days.
From the initiation to the implementation of a project, even with full military-style advancement, vertical system management, and full resource supply, there are still various complex steps.
Thanks to…
Uncle Tai was too embarrassed to say what he had benefited from to achieve his current respected position in the world.
Originally, he was just a senior mechanic who, after decades of hard work, could only squat in a corner of the academic world, watching the big shots talk eloquently. His best creation in this life was his daughter, Wan Xiaoqi.
But now, it was very magical. Commander Ling Tong brought a young man.
Then, he assisted this young man, and unexpectedly…
He was sublimated!
His life's realm was directly sublimated!
Whether it was theoretical research or the application design of spiritual energy weapons, as long as it involved various mechanical designs related to spiritual energy, he suddenly became an academic giant!
Whenever Uncle Tai thought of this, he felt both happy and uneasy.
It was indeed uneasy.
Even if he risked his old life, he was still some distance away from the top scientific research大佬. His own creativity was not too high. Just the biological mecha project covering the Red Serpent's body had already exhausted everything he had learned, yet he was still unable to provide sufficient constructive advice.
Uncle Tai certainly knew that in academic circles, background was often more useful than academic ability.
Being able to secure the resources given by the higher-ups was the greatest ability.
'Sigh, after finishing this project, I should take the initiative to retire and continue to serve Commander Ling Tong as a quartermaster in peace.'
Thinking this way, Uncle Tai felt a little more at ease and looked up, ready to fall asleep.
Beep beep beep!
Suddenly, a rapid alarm sounded beside him.
Uncle Tai opened his eyes with a jolt. Just as he was about to stand up, he was pulled back into his seat by the seat belt.
"What's wrong!"
"Chief Engineer! The Red Serpent's spiritual energy index is suddenly increasing continuously! It seems like she wants to communicate with us!"
"The drawing board? Give her the drawing board?"
"We can't use a large drawing board now!"
An engineer beside him hurriedly said:
"We are in transit. Unless we land, that magical green paper from before is used up! We can't hear her thoughts now!"
Uncle Tai hurriedly asked: "How far is it from Fortress 76?"
"Two hundred and three kilometers in a straight line!"
"Activate Emergency Plan Number One!"
"Chief Engineer! The Red Serpent's spiritual energy index has only suddenly increased. Are we directly activating the emergency plan? Wouldn't this be…"
Rumble!
The transport aircraft suddenly shook, and the transport platform below began to shake continuously.
Goo——
The Red Serpent let out a series of low roars.
The cables binding her suddenly snapped. These cables were not made of very strong materials in the first place, but were only intended to allow the Red Serpent to have a peaceful sleep.
She suddenly somersaulted and jumped down!
The four transport aircraft did not have time to switch power and accelerated to ascend, and everyone in the cabin swayed back and forth.
The armored troops below were already on full alert. At this moment, seeing a giant Blade Beast jumping down from mid-air, the soldiers in the armored vehicles were on edge, and many people immediately aimed their weapons at the Red Serpent.
The Red Serpent's slender body was fully extended, and her middle and lower quadrupeds stood firmly on the sand. Spiritual energy enveloped her entire body, and the ground did not stir up dust.
Because of several minor evolutions in her subsequent form, she now looked like a giant and thin 'centaur', with her whole body covered with dark gray exoskeleton. Her upper body was already more inclined to be human, but the organs on her slender neck were still only terrifying mouthparts, as well as the four conjunctival 'petals' that wrapped the mouthparts.
At this moment, the petals were closed, and the micro-carved human faces that appeared on them showed anger, and the eyes formed by the conjunctiva were constantly searching.
Her re-elongated forelimbs were sharper, and the blade limbs shone with a cold light at this moment.
The Red Serpent lowered her head to search, constantly making a cooing sound.
The surrounding armored forces had already received orders. They turned their muzzles to aim in all directions, and various radars and detectors were activated at the same time.
Someone shouted in the command channel: "Underground! Spiritual energy reaction! Six of them suddenly appeared!"
Suddenly!
The Red Serpent's blade limbs slashed forward fiercely, and spiritual energy surged, and a beam of crescent-shaped wave marks swept forward, hitting a patch of sand.
Bang, bang!
Along with two muffled sounds, two figures jumped out of the sand. They were pushed backward by this wave mark, but the spiritual energy on their bodies condensed into two shields, and they were not seriously injured.
Shouts rang out in the command channel:
"They are spiritual energy users!"
"Unknown spiritual energy users!"
"Slight Blade Beast reaction detected!"
"Attack!"
Each armored vehicle was about to pour firepower, but as soon as they started to move, patches of 'yellow waves' suddenly arched up in various places in the sand.
The sand waves were like tsunamis, slamming into the armored cluster from all directions!
The Red Serpent roared, and her huge body showed a strange sense of lightness, and she charged forward with all her strength.
She rushed to the front of the armored cluster, and her blade limbs slashed out 'X'-shaped wave marks forward, splitting the largest 'wave' from the middle!
However, the several waves surging from behind still caused armored vehicles to roll up and down, a small number of armored vehicles directly overturned, and some armored vehicles sank into the yellow sand.
Yellow sand filled everywhere! The sun was invisible to the naked eye!
The Red Serpent opened her mouthparts and roared, and the two sharp front blade limbs kept slashing in all directions.
Dao marks flashed randomly!
One figure after another was forced out of the sand by her.
These figures launched powerful offensives as soon as they shot, and a total of four A-level spiritual energy reactions were detected first, followed by…
Two S-level spiritual energy users!
The Red Serpent felt a huge threat, but she quickly realized that something was wrong with these two S-level spiritual energy users.
There seemed to be two sources of spiritual energy in these two guys' bodies, and, one of the spiritual energy was not 'compatible' with them, and the flow rate was very slow, more like…two mid-level spiritual energy users were stuffed into two special crystal cores, so that the total amount of spiritual energy reached the boundary of S-level.
One was obviously stronger, and one was relatively weaker.
What is this?
New type of transformation technology?
"Now that we have been discovered, then kill this traitor!"
"First destroy these annoying guys!"
With two loud shouts, six figures suddenly exploded in the sky full of yellow sand!
Two people rushed directly into the air, and two people fled into the sand to continue to make waves;
The two S-level spiritual energy users stared at the Red Serpent at the same time, and each shot.
One stirred up the yellow sand, and one bloomed with thunder!
If the high-level officials of the Spiritual Energy Capital's Spiritual Management Committee were here, they would be surprised to find that—
These two S-level spiritual energy users were only one B-level and one A-level before the outbreak of the Brain-Devouring Worm incident and their defection from the Spiritual Energy Capital!
This was obviously that the Blade Beast forcibly increased their strength for them, and they used this power to clear out the betrayers for the Blade Beast!
The Red Serpent now knows a lot of defensive methods, but the attack methods are very single, that is, a horizontal slash and a vertical chop.
Her blade limbs slashed rapidly, and the spiritual energy in the air continued to converge towards her and the two S-level spiritual energy users.
Thunder light shone! Yellow sand was everywhere!
The yellow sand condensed into long spears, and shot at the Red Serpent with the sound of sonic booms.
The Red Serpent tried to curl up her body as much as possible, and red light condensed into several shields outside her body, blocking all the yellow sand spears.
The Red Serpent immediately came to the judgment that the intensity of this attack was far above the A-level spiritual energy users, but compared to the real S-level spiritual energy users, she always felt that something was missing.
She couldn't tell what was missing, but she could barely resist at this moment.
Thunder broke out, and dozens of lightning bolts struck the Red Serpent!
These two S-level spiritual energy users were obviously cooperating for the first time. In the current environment, they were diverted by each other for a lot of energy. Various attacks hit the Red Serpent's shield, only adding some cracks to the shield.
"Don't let it fight back!"
"Kill it!"
The two shouted and launched a frantic offensive.
The deepest parts of their pupils were deep blue light, and the Brain-Devouring Worms lying on their brains were perfectly integrated with their bodies.
The Red Serpent began to be suppressed head-on by these two strange S-level spiritual energy users!
If this continued, she would be jointly beheaded by the two spiritual energy users in less than ten minutes!
The Red Serpent quickly thought about a way, and her thinking speed was slower than when she was a human.
There were explosions from above;
Roars continued to sound around.
Two transport aircraft crashed from the air, and two transport aircraft accelerated to flee towards Fortress 76.
Red Serpent determined that the situation here must already be known at Fortress 76, but dispatching an emergency team would take time, and even launching missiles would require some preparation... Ten minutes was simply not enough.
She made a decisive decision, enduring the lightning, and threw out continuous knife marks towards the blurred figures of the two S-class Espers, her massive body bouncing backwards, rolling on the ground and using her spiritual energy to lift herself, turning around and running wildly back the way she came.
The two S-class Espers were forced back, and then angrily chased after her!
Ahead, there seemed to be survivors in a transport plane…
Red Serpent hesitated slightly, but still reduced her speed, opened her mandibles, and lowered her head to bite the wreckage of the transport plane in one go; inside, Uncle Tai and several researchers, wrapped in safety spheres, were tossed about by the continuous bumps.
Red Serpent rushed out of the yellow sand area.
She didn't need to turn her head to look, Blade Beasts didn't have organs like eyes.
She had already mastered the basic abilities of Blade Beasts, such as using spiritual energy to sense the terrain and life forms within a few kilometers.
Red Serpent had just pinpointed the direction and was about to run when a gust of wind suddenly sounded from behind, and a ten-meter-long yellow sand spear shot towards her!
The spear stirred up layers of sonic boom rings in the air!
Red Serpent couldn't dodge in time and could only gather spiritual energy to resist, being heavily struck on the back by the ten-meter-long spear, her body falling forward weakly!
She could sense that hundreds of lightning bolts had appeared in the yellow sand, those lightning bolts were not to hunt her down, but to lock onto that range, all the soldiers in the armored cluster, accurately striking them.
The S-class Espers were slaughtering the ordinary soldiers.
'Damn it!'
'If I can't run, I won't!'
The face that Red Serpent simulated with her nictitating membrane was full of anger!
She lowered her head and spat the extinguished wreckage of the transport plane onto the ground, turning to look at the yellow sand-filled area.
There, six figures were slowly approaching from the air, the ground, and underground, and clear outlines emerged in her mind.
The four petals outside Red Serpent's mandibles opened.
A piercing roar!
Sub-King level mental shock!
The crimson shockwave swept forward, and two A-class Espers with slightly weaker strength immediately screamed, clutching their heads.
But the remaining four Espers were already charging forward!
They used spiritual energy to simulate several Blade Beast phantoms around their bodies!
At this moment, it was as if five giant Blade Beasts were fighting head-on, and Red Serpent could only fight four!
Bang, bang, the sounds were endless.
Spiritual energy was surging, the range of the yellow sand was constantly expanding, and the spiritual energy in the air and underground was frantically pouring towards this place.
Red Serpent's greatest advantage was not that she had the body of a Sub-King level Blade Beast, but that the King level Blade Beast crystal core in her body allowed her own spiritual energy reserves to rival those of ordinary King level Blade Beasts.
She kept thinking, although she was furious, she had not completely lost her composure.
Stalling for time;
As long as she stalled long enough, reinforcements would arrive!
Although Deep Sea and the others had gone to the front line, Fortress 76, as a shelter to protect Wang Zheng, was very likely to have Generation humanoid mechs.
Huh?
In the midst of the fierce battle, Red Serpent suddenly saw something strange…
Those were six insects, it was unknown whether they had fused with human brains, or whether the human brains had grown new limbs, constantly extending downwards from the brains of these six people, piercing through the spinal cord.
Red Serpent immediately thought of something…
“Brain-eating bugs!”
Red Serpent immediately heard the other party's response in her heart:
“Traitor! You are not allowed to call us by such a slanderous name!”
“We are messengers of God!”
Can they communicate?
Although Red Serpent was being beaten continuously, she couldn't help but laugh at this moment, her laughter full of sarcasm and helplessness.
Human souls fuse with the bodies of Blade Beasts, thinking about how to protect humanity;
Human bodies controlled by brain-eating bugs are thinking about how to exterminate humanity.
“How ironic, how damn ironic! You are the Beast God Sect that my husband talked about! Damn it! Traitors to humanity!”
“You are the traitor!”
The Beast God Sect Espers were furious, lightning, sand spears, flames, and ice crystals erupted at the same time!
The bodies of two body-strengthening A-class Espers grew structures similar to Blade Beast exoskeletons, like two shells, avoiding Red Serpent's wildly sweeping foreleg blades, charging towards Red Serpent's face from above and below.
Spiritual energy shields have their limits.
At this moment, the shield that Red Serpent condensed shattered with a bang!
These two body-strengthening Espers charged close, punching and kicking, their bodies bursting out with extremely tyrannical power, seemingly trying to tear the air!
Bang, bang!
Red Serpent's massive body arched backwards.
She was struck by lightning, pierced through the left 'chest' by a sand spear, and layers of red wave marks erupted from her mandibles.
The Espers were forced back again, Red Serpent's massive body fell to the ground, and blood spurted from her mandibles.
She was now beginning to understand why powerful Blade Beasts always used mental shocks when being besieged.
This thing is really quite useful.
It's a pity, she can't burrow into the ground, otherwise she could have burrowed into the ground and escaped directly.
Red Serpent used her 'consciousness' to look at Uncle Tai and the others in the wreckage of the plane behind her, sighed inwardly, and endured the tearing sensation in her body, struggling to get up with some difficulty.
The feeling of lightness was gone.
The four figures approached again from above and below, the two body-strengthening Espers were traumatized by the mental shock, and it would take half a minute before they could regain their ability to move.
How to find an opportunity…
“Traitor!”
The voice of an S-class Esper rang in her heart, full of suspicion:
“Why, I sense a thought process similar to that of a human in you! What kind of monster are you anyway.”
“Get lost! Damn it! You are the monsters!”
Red Serpent's mandibles sucked in fiercely and closed again, she barely gathered spiritual energy, her King-level crystal core flashed brightly again, and the wounds on her body healed rapidly.
“Kill it!”
The four Beast God Sect Espers were about to strike with all their might immediately.
At this moment!
Whoosh—Boom!
A beam of silver light crashed down rapidly from the sky behind Red Serpent, landing right in front of Red Serpent, and the spiritual power emanating from it stimulated an earthen wall, also successfully attracting the attention of these four people.
The silver spear was inserted into the ground and trembled continuously, the spear body slowly pulling backwards.
Red Serpent was slightly stunned, then her middle and rear four legs softened at the same time, and she directly lay on the sand, using all her spiritual energy for defense.
Ah, this guy actually came in person…
