The sky above the Shangdu Grasslands, at the location of Wormhole Four.
This wormhole was tens of thousands of meters away from land, precisely outside the protective aura of Dragon Country's Qi Luck.
A massive floating fortress, built with floating stones as its foundation, hovered not far away. This fortress was cast from a hard, extraordinary alloy.
Facing the void wormhole, dozens of spirit energy cannons, emitting a cold sheen, were aimed at it. Along the city walls, shadowy figures of Dragon Country's extraordinary individuals, guarding the wormhole, stood watch.
Among these individuals were combat-oriented and support-oriented personnel. They observed from the side, ready to provide assistance at any moment.
Between the wormhole and the fortress, a metal giant over five thousand meters tall, enveloped by the power of Metal Law, was engaged in a fierce battle with three Eternal Night alien beasts, each half again its size. The terrifying power caused every movement of the giant to emit sonic booms, even cracking the void.
This person was Jin Da Shu, the master of the Divine Weapon Department at Kyoto Supernatural University, a powerhouse at Law Tier 64.
"Teacher Jin is still so formidable. Such terrifying destructive power and defense, he's practically a born war machine."
"Since the Vice President of the Lighthouse Nation's Metal Department died, Teacher Jin is arguably the strongest in the Metal Department."
"The Eternal Night alien beasts are known for their physical toughness, but encountering Teacher Jin of the Metal Department is like meeting their bane. Coupled with their incomplete laws, I believe this battle will conclude soon!"
The speakers were the department heads of the Elemental, Support, and Perception departments at Kyoto University, along with a military commander, all of whom were also Law Tier powerhouses.
As expected, the moment they finished speaking, they saw the metal giant controlled by Jin Da Shu roar towards the sky, directly spreading its arms. The metal behemoth ferociously extended, gripping the necks of two of the giant beasts, as if holding two small animals.
These two beasts were a demon tiger and a demon lion, entirely black, with ferocious eyes. However, as he grabbed their heads, a hint of fear flickered in their dark pupils.
"Die!"
Jin Da Shu roared. The fingers gripping the demon tiger and demon lion transformed into incredibly sharp golden spikes, deeply embedding themselves into the heads of the two beasts. Amidst their shrill roars, he violently smashed their heads together.
Boom!
Like two mountains colliding, the heads of the demon tiger and demon lion shattered under the intense impact. Dark red blood and grayish-white brain matter splattered into the air.
Following this, two massive soul phantoms floated out from the corpses, only to be shredded by the mental storm shot from Jin Da Shu's brow, utterly annihilated.
The remaining demon leopard, witnessing this, showed a trace of timidity in its ferocious eyes and turned to flee, attempting to re-enter the Eternal Night wormhole.
"Come here!"
Jin Da Shu sneered. His right arm instantly liquefied like melting metal, then transformed into a high-temperature metal rope that wrapped around the demon leopard's slender waist.
The metal liquid emitted a terrifyingly high temperature, instantly charring the demon leopard's skin surface upon contact.
"Roar~"
The demon leopard screamed in agony.
Jin Da Shu knelt on the head of the metal giant and slammed his hand down on the metal head beneath his feet.
Under his control, the metal liquid rope binding the demon leopard instantly solidified, sprouting countless fine spikes that pierced the demon leopard, emerging from the other side and impaling it alive like a hedgehog.
"My mission is complete, and I need to rest. It's expected that new Eternal Night creatures will appear within the next minute, and it will be your turn to deal with them."
Having dealt with the last demon leopard, Jin Da Shu retracted his divine ability. The metal giant then dissolved into nothingness, transforming into a golden light that entered his brow. He then leisurely flew towards the floating fortress.
"Leave the rest to me. My Fiery Fist is already thirsty."
On the city wall, a male extraordinary individual covered in flame tattoos stepped out from the crowd, taking Jin Da Shu's place.
This man was over two meters tall, with bulging muscles, covered in burning flames. He exuded an aura of power, resembling a mythical god of flame totems.
He was Commander Li from the military region, who had participated in the Lighthouse Nation video conference. He was a fire-elemental Law Tier powerhouse at Tier 79.
Commander Li flew to the wormhole and waited for a while, but no new alien beasts emerged. A look of confusion appeared on his face.
"Why haven't any alien beasts come out yet? Could they have been scared away!"
His fiery red eyebrows, as if painted on, furrowed deeply. After waiting for a few more minutes and seeing no activity from the wormhole, his face became impatient.
"Damn it, I knew I shouldn't have relied on immortal qi to advance. If it weren't for the fact that the A-class sequence core evolved from immortal qi is not tolerated by the Eternal Night world, and I would be struck by lightning the moment I entered, I would have long since charged into the Eternal Night world. Why must I be passively guarding here."
Upon hearing this, Jin Da Shu, who had just handed over, couldn't help but sigh, "Do you think Old Wu predicted this in advance? Among us old generation of extraordinary individuals, it seems he's the only one who didn't advance using immortal qi. He's probably gone wild in the Eternal Night world right now."
The Old Wu he mentioned was Dao Saint Wu Boyue, who had entered the Eternal Night world three years ago with a large saber and brought back a significant amount of resources and various crystals, making everyone envious.
The adventurous genes of extraordinary individuals were deeply ingrained in their bones. The small Earth was no different from a cage to them. If they could venture into the Eternal Night world, they would be content even if they died.
"It's because our Dragon Country's extraordinary power was insufficient back then. We relied on immortal qi to advance to supplement our combat strength. I don't know when the Super Research Institute will be able to develop an immortal-demon origin body that can break through the limits of laws. I'll be the first to cultivate again then," another ice-elemental Law Tier powerhouse said with regret.
The Eternal Night world wasn't just filled with crisis; it also held many opportunities. They hadn't ventured there for adventure since their B-class days.
As they chatted, the spatial wormhole suddenly rippled.
Commander Li's eyes lit up, and the flames on his body surged skyward like a giant torch.
But soon, his brow furrowed, "Why is it so weak! It's not even A-class!"
"Old Li, don't attack yet!"
The one who spoke was a kind-looking middle-aged woman. She closed her eyes and frowned, "I feel the aura inside is somewhat familiar. It's likely an extraordinary individual returning from exploration. Don't attack yet!"
"I know!"
Commander Li crossed his arms, his fingers tapping impatiently on his biceps, looking at the wormhole with a hint of annoyance.
Under everyone's gaze, a somewhat disheveled figure was expelled from the mouth of the spatial wormhole.
The moment Commander Li recognized the figure's appearance, his pupils contracted violently, and he couldn't help but exclaim:
"It's you, Cheng Hao! You're not dead, damn it!"
