Chapter 1 The Attack

Amidst the astonished gazes of the five ancient kings, and under the watchful eyes of all humanity, Li Tianran directly pressed the attack button.

With all hope shattered, Li Tianran no longer had any reason to cease hostilities with the ancient civilization.

Through his conversation with the ancient kings, Li Tianran understood one thing again.

That all confidence must stem from one's own strength. Any thought of relying on external help was merely a mirage.

If Li Tianran possessed the ability to transform Second Evolutionaries now, he wouldn't need to negotiate with them at all. He could erase the Apostle of the Earth's memories himself!

If Li Tianran now possessed combat power to completely overwhelm the ancient civilization, then even if the five ancient kings desperately wanted to save the Apostle of the Earth, they would ultimately succumb to Li Tianran's threat of death, and be forced to obey his orders to clear the Apostle of the Earth's memories from Han Han’s body.

This was the change brought about by strength!

But at this moment, Li Tianran had neither of these things!

So he could only let out an angry, yet helpless, roar!

He had never, ever, yearned for power this much!

Since negotiations had failed, then let the war begin.

As Li Tianran's index finger gently pressed down, the entire Kunlun Battleship seemed to fall into dead silence in that moment, before instantly unleashing all its energy!

The spherical lightning fell from the launch bay of the Kunlun Battleship, as light as a feather, yet carrying the power to distort space.

It plummeted fiercely, instantly stirring up countless tornadoes hundreds of zhang thick, reaching straight into the sky. Within the wind bodies were gathered azure electric arcs, like thunder dragons chasing after the dragon ball in front!

The temperature rose rapidly!

Boom!

With a thunderous sound, the spherical lightning burst open, transforming into a field of thunder and lightning covering the earth and sky!

Crack!

Countless streaks of azure, purple, and even crimson lightning flashed incessantly, blasting huge scorched pits into the earth. Any secondary-sequence creature that was struck was almost instantly reduced to ashes.

With that field of thunder and lightning as the center, all electronic equipment and satellite signals within a radius of several hundred kilometers were paralyzed, and the air was filled with the high-temperature scent of lightning.

And this was merely the earliest "interference" stage, meaning that the power of the lightning field had not been fully released. When it truly released, it would be an unimaginable and terrifying disaster!

"Raise the Kunlun!"

The Kunlun Battleship was currently at an altitude of eight thousand meters. The current height affected by the lightning field was three thousand meters, covering a plane area of nearly one hundred and fifty kilometers. It could not yet affect the Kunlun Battleship, but once the lightning field fully erupted, the destructive force produced might affect tens of kilometers of altitude, so Li Tianran’s current position was not entirely safe!

Because the Kunlun Battleship had taken the opportunity to recover some energy during the previous negotiation stage, it immediately increased its altitude at supersonic speed under the full power of its engines, moving away from this place.

At this moment, looking down at the earth from high altitude, the Cartier Castle defense line was already shrouded in an azure lightning storm, like a huge lake of thunder appearing on the earth. Terrifying energy fluctuations overflowed from within, destroying everything it touched, leaving only the purest arcs of lightning.

"Detecting energy range... unable to detect, energy within the lightning exceeds estimated upper limit!"

At this moment, within the Alliance Command, a satellite detection personnel spoke in alarm.

On the energy monitoring screen, the energy fluctuation map of the lightning position had become a pitch-black color.

Generally speaking, the energy of an ordinary missile explosion is displayed as yellow on the satellite image.

Ordinary nuclear weapons are displayed as red.

The Desert Emperor nuclear bomb is displayed as deep red.

As the energy fluctuation increases, the color displayed on the satellite image becomes deeper.

And black represents that it exceeds the estimated range of energy detection, meaning... humans have not yet been able to grasp, or even touch, such a powerful force!

Just like the Hexagram Sun formed by the six ancient civilization buildings before, the energy fluctuation displayed on the satellite image at that time was also pitch black!

But this does not mean that the lightning at this time is the same level of product as the previous Hexagram Sun.

This only represents that the two types of attack energy have exceeded the detection limit, and the energy reactor cannot give accurate data, so they can only be classified as "similar display"!

For example, a speed of Mach 10 and a speed of Mach 20 are both undetectable to the naked eye, but this does not mean that their speeds are the same. It's just that they have both exceeded your naked eye limit, and you can no longer make an estimated judgment on them, so you can only classify them all as "speeds exceeding the naked eye"!

"God... with such a powerful force, if the ancient civilization had not revived, he might indeed have been able to sweep through each of our countries in a short period of time." The president of the EU muttered to himself, staring at the pitch-black energy map on the screen.

At this moment, the EU is still worried about its position as a world hegemon.

"Can it destroy a group of the ancient civilization?" The head of the Federation clenched his hands tightly, staring unblinkingly at the video screen.

But the next moment, the picture was interrupted!

Due to the powerful signal interference, the area where the lightning field was located had become a restricted area. Any signal, radar frequency band, or even light source was violently distorted and torn apart, and no satellite could survey the real-time state anymore!

"Roar!"

The blue-black giant dragon roared angrily. Its Sky Castle was now located in the center of the lightning, and a massive number of secondary-sequence followers were desperately fleeing within the lightning.

A giant wolf ran wildly, only to be torn apart by the lightning!

A pterosaur flew, only to be instantly turned into coke.

On the Kunlun Battleship, the picture of communication with the five ancient kings flickered and quickly distorted!

Signal interference also affected the Kunlun Battleship.

The faces of the five ancient kings began to distort, roaring angrily.

The blue-black giant dragon glared at Li Tianran. Before its face completely disappeared from the communication screen, the last words it left for Li Tianran were...

"Kings... cannot be caged!"

These words were almost roared out. Immediately afterward, the picture plunged into darkness.

…

At the thirteenth second of the lightning's existence, more than three thousand secondary-sequence followers had perished.

At the fourteenth second of the lightning's existence, the Sky Castle rescued some ancient creatures and began to ascend, attempting to leave this area before the lightning fully released.

At the fifteenth second of the lightning's existence, all the azure lightning turned blood red.

An energy that was terrifying to the extreme began to boil, and those scattered lightning bolts quickly gathered towards the center.

Then, just one-thousandth of a second after the sixteenth second had passed, a sun seemed to rise again on the earth.

The Valley of Death was completely blooming on the Cartier Castle defense line.

Instantly engulfing the Sky Castle, which had not yet had time to leave...
