Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
On Blue Star, people felt as though they had merely endured a sparse and ordinary half-month, with only the payday drawing a little closer.
However, for the strong, they understood that a heaven-shattering battle had already emerged!
China had a total of 542 spatial rifts, of which 377 were normal grade, 107 dangerous grade, 38 nightmare grade, 19 destruction grade, and one highest-level disaster grade.
Compared to four years ago, seven spatial rifts of different grades had been added, which also meant that the number of Kings within the country was at least over five hundred.
But now, after half a month, the number of fallen Kings had reached eighteen, including four Black Iron grade, eight Silver grade, and six Gold grade.
Such a casualty rate was quite rare in the history of the past thousand years.
And this also meant that humanity had begun its full-scale counterattack!
While the powerful personal strength of the Kings was secondary, the most important aspect was their ability to command the entire spatial rift.
Such existences, it could be said, that the death of one would reduce humanity's pressure by several degrees.
However, despite China's great victory, the situations of other countries and forces were not optimistic.
The defenses of many small countries had already been forcefully breached, leading to heavy casualties among ordinary people, and the strong could only lead the survivors in escape.
Only medium to large countries and forces were still resisting fiercely, but the situation was equally dire.
As small countries were breached, the fierce beasts from their internal spatial rifts emerged on Blue Star, increasing the pressure on the forces of other countries.
If the situation continued, humanity would inevitably be gradually devoured and ultimately lead to extinction…
Deep within Dragon Abyss,
A peak nearly ten thousand meters high stood tall, covered with a type of dark red tree, appearing bizarre and mysterious.
This was the King-grade material Blood Leaf Tree, extremely precious; even fierce beasts could increase their strength by consuming it.
However, few fierce beasts dared to approach this treasure land.
And on the upper part of the giant peak, a colossal blood-colored dragon was coiled around the mountainside, exuding the terrifying aura of a Beast Emperor.
The blood dragon's head was positioned atop the mountain peak.
And before it, three giant, transparent blue dragon heads floated, as if in a soul state.
One giant dragon head slowly spoke:
"To this day, eighteen Kings have fallen within China; what are your thoughts?"
Another giant dragon head's expression turned furious, and it roared:
"Humans are ungrateful, they destroyed Dragon Abyss City!"
"Well said!"
The blood dragon nodded repeatedly and said, "Thunder Dragon, why don't you lead everyone to charge again?"
"..."
The Thunder Dragon immediately fell silent, as if it were not the one who had just spoken.
Leading the charge meant facing humanity's strongest, its brain wasn't malfunctioning…
"Why don't we four join forces? I don't believe that old ghost can withstand it!"
Another blue dragon head spoke, and although it remained transparent, it was much more solidified.
If Chen Shu were present, he would surely recognize this fellow as the Soul Dragon that had taken diarrhea medication for the fierce bandits…
Back then, it had transformed into Jiang Chen and invaded the human world, but it was humiliated by Chen Shu.
To this day, it had not forgotten the hatred from that day, and it had even listed Chen Shu as its primary enemy!
The Thunder Dragon changed its earlier aggressive demeanor and said:
"There's no need… After we've devoured the other forces, we can then encircle and attack China!"
"Are we just going to let them act like this?!"
The blood dragon's eyes narrowed as it glared at the Thunder Dragon.
The Thunder Dragon slowly said, "There's no other way. When the Beast Emperors from the other forbidden zones are free, we'll instigate them to encircle and kill that old ghost!"
"Or, Blood Dragon Emperor, why don't you lead the charge? You are the closest to Dragon Abyss City."
The Blood Dragon Emperor gave it a cold glance and mouthed:
"Go to hell!"
"You?!"
The Thunder Dragon's expression turned furious, and terrifying lightning subtly emanated around it.
Clearly, even when united, the Beast Emperors were still not harmonious.
Before the spatial rifts had even descended upon Blue Star, the various Beast Emperors within Dragon Abyss were mortal enemies.
"Alright, it's decided!"
Another Beast Emperor spoke faintly, "Now that the other human forces are failing, China's support is no longer significant. Let's cease our deterrence actions."
"Soul Dragon, convey the command to the other Kings to protect themselves."
Currently, the spatial forbidden mist was gradually losing its effect. For the fierce beasts of Dragon Abyss, it was both bad news and good news.
The bad news was that the Great Fiends of the forbidden mist would appear and contend for power with the current Beast Emperors.
The good news was that the restrictions of the forbidden mist were also disappearing. Even without the help of the Sacred Control Association, Dragon Abyss could contact the Kings of various spatial rifts, it would just take some time.
"Good!"
The Soul Dragon nodded, and then its eyes flickered. The soul projections of the three dragon heads instantly disappeared.
Clearly, the remote communication between the four Beast Emperors was achieved through its skills.
On the giant peak, only the blood dragon remained. Its gaze turned towards the direction of Dragon Abyss City, remaining silent for a long time…
One day later,
In the dangerous grade spatial rift [Thunderous Giant Peak],
Chen Shu was sitting on Little Yellow's head, with his eyes slightly closed, silently awaiting the appearance of the King's aura.
However, as time passed, he did not get the King he wished for, but instead heard rumbling sounds from all around.
"Huh? They've retreated?!"
Chen Shu's expression stiffened, his eyes showing a hint of confusion, and he murmured to himself:
"Did someone kill the King?"
He frowned slightly and chose to teleport back to the Spirit Suppressing Army's stronghold.
Chen Shu asked, "Uncle Liu, has anyone come to hunt the Silver King?"
The number of fallen Silver Kings had reached nine, but he had only killed seven of them.
This meant that he was not the only one hunting.
"No one…"
Commander Liu's expression stiffened, and he said, "Could it be that the King was killed by someone else?!"
In this day and age, are Kings being snatched now…
