Chapter 229: Heavenly Kings Join Forces, Wandering Thousands of Kilometers In Between Battlefields Throughout Life (I)

At the moment of the Morning Star Signal’s explosion, a pulse signal much stronger than that of the smartwatches surged, piercing through the clouds in the sky and being received by high-altitude satellites.

Instantly, information about the appearance of a Shadow Cult elite in the depths of the Yunwu Mountains was transmitted back.

***

In the vast meeting room for the southern mutated beast battlefield, high-ranking military officials filled the stage, while the projection of sixty people responsible for the school bases of the southern battlefield were projected on the walls, including Chen Qi.

On the main seat, the base’s commanding officer, Ling Yi, said in a deep voice, "We have received information from the Ministry of Defense that traces of demon cult elites have been found in the depths of the northern battlefield.

"Ten minutes ago, Bailong Base personnel also reported traces of Shadow Cult agents in the depths of the Yunwu Mountain Range.

"The death of Qin Tianhu, who had been ranked first on the Achievement List, is related to that agent, but there are traces of another powerful will in the vicinity of the battlefield, making the situation quite complicated."

"What!"

"How is that possible? The battlefields are under strict scrutiny. How did they get in?"

"They couldn\'t have entered through normal means. It must have been through unstable rifts. Our area belongs to the overlap of two worlds, and the void is chaotic and violent. But opening a passage requires at least a peak king\'s intervention, as well as somehow getting their hands on precise cross-world coordinates."

"Of course, it\'s also possible that a stable passage has naturally formed in the depths of the battlefield, and then it was coincidentally discovered by the cults."

"I believe the first possibility is highly likely. The Purgatory Clan has existed for a long time, known to have surpassed one hundred thousand years. They might possess the means to open stable cross-world passages."

The meeting room had become restless, followed by intense discussions. Despite this, however, everyone remained relatively composed, without a hint of panic.

This was their stronghold; if some rats sneaked in, catching and killing them would be a breeze.

Ling Yi spoke in a deep voice, "There\'s no need for speculation. The cultists did indeed used cross-world coordinates to forcefully open temporary rifts, including here. However, there\'s no need to worry. When we established the mutated beast battlefield, we anticipated such situations and conducted numerous tests.

"Firstly, the cost of opening such a passage is substantial. Secondly, it cannot exist for too long, and there are significant restrictions on the number and strength of those passing through. For instance, they cannot carry life forms of higher ranks. At most, only thirty can pass through; exceeding this limit will result in collapse, and this count includes round trips.

"At the same time, life forms crossing over through these unstable rifts will also be suppressed by spatial cuts formed by the world\'s power, causing a temporary drop in their strength by a significant realm. This situation is a self-defense mechanism that the various worlds employ against outside invaders, and it’s one of the reasons why we use stable world passages when entering and exiting the mythical world."

Ling Yi’s tone became solemn. "As for the purpose of this invasion, it is most likely for revenge."

"Revenge!" Many teachers showed confusion in their eyes.

Ling Yi nodded. "I\'ve just received this news from the Ministry of Defense. Half a year ago, the Heavenly Kings Xuanwu, Jiuyou, and Zhenwu ventured deep into the rear of the Purgatory Clan’s territory.

"One month ago, a demon god-level powerhouse stationed at the Purgatory Clan’s front suddenly left, relieving some pressure on the front lines. But less than half a month after that demon god left, Jiuyou and Zhenwu returned injured, bringing back much vital intelligence.

"During this deep infiltration operation, Xuanwu killed a descendant of a demon god. This person possessed the aura of that demon god, along with an extraordinary ability called the Ninth Demonic Mark, which could rival kings.

"However, as a result, the kings were exposed and hunted down by the Purgatory Clan, wandering thousands of kilometers throughout their journey.

"In the end, Xuanwu diverted a large number of pursuers, including the demon god who had rushed back from the front lines, allowing Jiuyou and Zhenwu to bring back the obtained intelligence.

"The enemy\'s invasion of the mutated beast battlefields should be in retaliation for this. Their goal is to assassinate our new generation of geniuses, with the demon cult traitors leading the charge."

A middle-aged man gritted his teeth. "Those traitors deserve to die. If not for them cowering away in the depths of the mythical world, we would have eradicated them long ago."

"Indeed, those lunatics from the demon cult deserve to die, but the immediate priority is to root out these invading rats," Ling Yi continued. "Currently, all eleven overlapping spaces have received urgent notices, demanding a thorough purge to prevent any enemy infiltration. Invaders have been confirmed in the northern mutated beast battlefield, and hundreds of high-level and advanced powerhouses have gathered to besiege them, ensuring minimal disturbance.

"Compared to other battlefields where most areas can be monitored, we have a bit of trouble here. The spatial magnetic fields deep within the Yunwu Mountains and the Beast Plain are chaotic and shrouded in fog. Even the images from high-definition satellites are disrupted by the magnetic fields, making monitoring impossible.

"But fortunately, we can now confirm that those rats are hiding deep within the Yunwu Mountains, in which case the battlefield coverage plan will be launched ahead of schedule.

"All students need to return to their bases and wait for the end of this siege. At the same time, half of the teachers from each base will be deployed to lead teams of three or five into the depths of the Yunwu Mountains for a joint siege.

"It’s currently 17:00, and the Yunwu transmitters are ready to begin their descent. By tomorrow morning, they should reach the designated altitude to minimize signal issues.

"Meanwhile, all Luan-level fighter jets will deploy pulse signal transmitters throughout the Yunwu Range to notify any students currently in that area of the orders to return."

Although there was no signal in the Yunwu Mountains, it didn\'t mean there was no way to communicate. Over the years, the military had developed several methods to overcome this barrier. The Yunwu transmitters could emit strong pulse signals covering a radius of hundreds of kilometers, acting like self-positioning signal towers.

However, these signal transmitters were expensive and could only be used once each, so they were reserved exclusively for emergencies.

"Once we have that full coverage, every instance of the cultists emitting a demonic aura will be quickly detected by the demon bone-containing satellites. Those rats will have nowhere to escape."

As Ling Yi had said this, a faint chill flashed in his eyes.

The spatial fluctuations caused by opening cross-world passages were very strong. Any that occurred in the outside world would immediately be detected by the global defense system, and a response swiftly mobilized.

This was one of the only places that a potential invasion by the demon cults, or even the Purgatory Clan, could feasibly choose, and it was for that reason that such a comprehensive response plan had been prepared long ago.

"Furthermore, the teachers stationed at the bases will closely monitor the situation in the surrounding mountains. Even though we have the Celestial Satellite System, we can’t be complacent. It would also be best to mobilize some students to patrol their base surroundings, to prevent any fish from slipping through the net."

A teacher suggested, "General, there aren’t a lot of enemies this time, and their strength is average. Should we organize some senior students to participate in the siege? They’re going to have to face high-level disciples sooner or later, and since these invaders will have their strength suppressed, it should be safer for the students.”

Ling Yi pondered slightly. "That\'s acceptable, but their cultivation should be at least the late stage of the Fifth Heavenly Realm, and they will need to either be in teams of five or more, or act together with teachers.

"These people all would have been at least in the Sixth Heavenly Realm before traveling through that passage. Even if their realms are currently suppressed, we can’t be careless. Especially with those lunatics from the Blood Cult, who would burn their essence or even self-destruct at the slightest provocation."

"Yes, sir."

Accompanying the issuance of orders, alarms blared throughout the school and military bases.

Wooo!

The sudden blare of the alarm startled all of the students, who instinctively looked toward the main building of their bases, then exchanged puzzled looks. In all of their time on the mutated beast battlefield, none of them had heard such an urgent alarm before.

"Attention. Elite demon cultists have been discovered in the Yunwu Mountains. A thorough search will be conducted for the next half month. All students below the late stage of the Fifth Heavenly Realm, remain at base and await further instructions."

"What? Demon cultists invading here?" Instantly, the bases broke into uproars.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

At Nantian base, just as the students in the square were beginning to panic, four figures clad in transcendent armor burst out, flames of true power burning on their bodies.

In just a few breaths, they dashed down the mountain, resembling four meteors tearing through the earth as they sped toward the Yunwu Mountains.

"It\'s Miss Chen and the others!"

"It looks like the alarm is actually real."

Meanwhile, many students active in the Jiuhuan and other mountain ranges received signals to return to the base, including Xia Youhui and his team.

Buzz!

At the military bases in the rear, blue fighter jets, larger and more futuristic than the Bluebirds that Chen Chu and his classmates had once ridden, rose off the ground.

Boom!

Once they reached a hundred meters vertically, these fighter jets accelerated to twice the speed of sound in the blink of an eye, disappearing into the sky with the thunderous roar of their sonic booms.
