The next day.

Early in the morning, in the open-air square.

Usually, it was mostly young people practicing martial arts here. The old people often took a stroll here. At this moment, many middle aged men and women were also gathered here.

“They’re fighting! They’re fighting!”

“They should be able to destroy the invading treants at the entrance of the space-travel passage!”

“It’s hard to say. Do you still remember the battle at the lake in the west last year? That battle lasted for a long time. This time, the entire province is on lockdown. The situation isn’t looking good.”

“But this time, we used a nuclear bomb. Isn’t a nuclear bomb enough?”

“Sigh! It’s precisely because they had to use nuclear bombs from the start. It shows that the invading treants are very powerful.”

From time to time, fighter jets would fly past in the sky, causing the people who were chatting to exclaim. This was the air support from other cities in the province and even the neighboring provinces for the encirclement around the strange mountain village.

When the news that treants could secretly spread the seeds through the air was reported, winning the war with the treants was already a matter that had already reached the level of the entire country.

Just as the atmosphere was filled with feelings of anxiety, frustration, and conflicted emotions, the television wall in the square suddenly lit up, and a piece of news was broadcasted.

“The defensive counterattack was unstoppable. The first batch of treants were wiped out before they could escape the nuclear radiation zone.”

“In order to stop the treants from invading, our army has fought day and night and established three layers of encirclement. The plan…”

Chen Yiming had received the news that the first batch of treants had invaded and that the humans had wiped out all the invading treants. He looked in the direction of the strange village and communicated with the figure in his mind.

Chen Yiming: How’s the situation in the stronghold?

The figure in his mind: Everything is normal.

Chen Yiming: Did the western martial master cause any more trouble?

The figure in his mind: The damp wasteland, the graveyard, and the rocky plains around the stronghold are all very calm.

Chen Yiming: We can’t care so much about that anymore. Go to the vicinity of the strange mountain village and guard it secretly. If the treant at the master realm dares to come out of the space-travel passage, kill it immediately.

After making the arrangements, he quietly left East Lake City and headed to the vicinity of the base city.

If anything happened in the stronghold, he could immediately provide support. If something happened to the village, he could also quickly go over to provide support.

The most important thing was to ambush the western martial master who had set up a trap for him and completely remove this hidden thorn.

…

Late at night, all was silent.

Around the stronghold in the otherworld,

two soldiers were patrolling the area. Their footsteps sounded out against the gravel in the wasteland. The sound caused them to be on tenterhooks.

At some point, one of the middle-aged soldiers yawned and said, “I’m so tired. I have to rest here and take a smoke break to refresh myself.”

“Uncle Zhang, have mine,” the young soldier beside him said with a smile.

With that, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed one to the middle-aged soldier. He then took out a match from his other pocket. A small flame appeared, and he quickly lit the cigarette for the middle-aged soldier.

Immediately after, the young soldier lit one for himself.

The two of them stood there and smoked. They looked at the sky that had been dyed dark red by the flames from the stronghold and discussed some news that had just reached the stronghold in the otherworld.

“So what if there are many treants? They still died in the nuclear radiation environment.”

“That’s true, but the stronghold has become unstable. Without the guardian martial master here, there are fewer explorers who dare to go to the rocky plains.”

“I don’t think it’s a big problem. After dealing with the treants that invaded the blue planet, the development of the otherworld will rise up again sooner or later.”

“Haha, you’re right. Let’s just wait patiently.”

…

As he spoke, his voice subconsciously became louder and louder, spreading into the darkness.

After finishing a cigarette and chatting for a while, the loneliness and boredom they felt dissipated. The two soldiers continued their patrol.

In a dark cave nearby, a human figure was secretly observing two soldiers in the distance.

His body was completely hidden in the shadows. At the entrance of the cave two to three meters away, a creature was observing the occasional prey that passed by.

However, even though they were two to three meters away, they did not notice the person hiding in the shadows.

“The heavens are helping me. With the war between the Daxia Kingdom and the treants erupting, the Jiangnan province will definitely not be able to take care of themselves and the stronghold in the otherworld at the same time,” the person in the shadows muttered to himself.

He was not speaking the language of the Daxia Kingdom, but the language of the Sam Nation.

Soon, the person in the shadows smiled fiercely. “What a beautiful stronghold from the otherworld. What right does the Daxia Kingdom have to occupy such a precious place? I really want to flatten it with one move.”

A desire to destroy it surged in his heart, but he quickly calmed down.

“It’s not as easy to hide on the blue planet as in the otherworld. If I anger them, it’ll be troublesome to make my way back to the Sam Nation. Forget it, I’ll let you guys off.”

Rover was one of the two martial masters in Sam Nation.

His words were accompanied by a sigh, and there was a hint of helplessness in his tone. No matter what reason he used, he was still weaker than his opponent, so he was just trying to give himself a way out.

The reason for this was that the spiritual figure had used the rain of swords to sweep through almost the entire rocky plains.

Even the strongest of the stone golems had hidden themselves. As the one who had started things, Rover had been secretly observing the situation.

It had to be known that although those in the master realm could mobilize the power of nature, it was not difficult for them to control such a huge amount of power. For a short period of time, it would not be difficult for them to summon wind and rain, change the weather, or cause a natural disaster. Over time, the pressure on their mental strength would increase greatly. It could also be described as a backlash from the power of nature.

Under normal circumstances, such control would not last long. The spiritual power of a human at the master realm was not enough to support a range of more than 1,000 kilometers.

However, someone had done it, and he had seen it with his own eyes.

“I can’t just wait around like before. I have to leave quickly and take advantage of the fact that the treants are holding him back.”

After thinking it through, Rover immediately set off to infiltrate the stronghold and try to return to the blue planet without attracting the attention of the military.

…

In the middle of the night, in the direction of the base city,

Chen Yiming, who was resting on a huge rock, was suddenly jolted awake. He looked up at the moon and guessed that it was about 3 am.

His intuition told him that a human who was also at the master realm was approaching him. The two of them were still very far away, but he had sensed him through some kind of connection.

Chen Yiming leaped onto a huge rock and looked at the dark forest. Some glowing insects were dancing in the grass, making a buzzing sound.

“At this time, from this direction, there’s no mistake. It’s that person,” he thought to himself as he narrowed his eyes.

…

About half an hour later,

in the dark forest, the air was slightly distorted. The grass on the ground swayed in one direction. At first glance, it was easy to think that it was caused by the wind.

However, while this could deceive most people, it was very difficult to deceive people of the same level at close range.

A cold expression appeared on Chen Yiming’s face as he looked in the direction of the abnormality.

“You…”

A figure muttered to himself and suddenly stopped in his tracks. The shadow energy around him became unstable, revealing a portion of his face.

The outline was that of a red-haired middle-aged man with a western face. His skin was relatively pale, and there were two fangs at the corner of his mouth. He looked a little like a vampire.

To Rover, who was at the master realm, controlling the shadow energy was as easy as eating and drinking. It was almost impossible for him to lose control over it.

The only possibility was that he was really frightened.

“You’re not going to hide this time?”

Chen Yiming had never objected to the research of bloodline warriors. He just couldn’t bear to watch them conduct human experiments without restraint.

And those Western corporations had done exactly that. They had even doubled down on their crimes in Jiangnan province, causing the deaths of many innocent people.

In essence, those people had long lost their humanity and did not treat the people below them as humans. They were only treated as tools that could be abandoned after the deed was done.

The figure did not reply. Instead, with a flash, nine afterimages appeared and fled in various directions.

“You think you can escape?”

Chen Yiming roared, and his spiritual power turned into a shock wave that spread out. Almost instantly, eight of the nine afterimages exploded. The remaining figure was hit by the spiritual attack and continued to escape into the distance with a grunt.

However, the distance of hundreds of meters between them was covered in an instant. Chen Yiming used his Giant Talent to transform into a 10-meter-tall giant. He took three to four steps forward and threw a huge fist at the fleeing person.

“Bang!”

A loud sound echoed through the forest. A strong wind blew, and rubble flew everywhere. The aftershock of the air current flattened the surrounding grass.

At the last moment when the fist approached, the figure mobilized the power of nature and formed three blood-colored heavy shields in front of him.

However, the power contained in the fist still exceeded the limit of what he could withstand. The three blood-colored heavy shields were destroyed, and the remaining force hit Rover, causing him to vomit a mouthful of blood.

After the figure flew two to three kilometers away, he quickly got up and continued to escape. He had no desire to fight at all.

At this moment, Rover was filled with regret. He wanted to ask,

“The treant invasion is imminent. Don’t you need to hold down the fort? How dare you set a trap for me here?”

“Aren’t you afraid that the treants will launch a surprise attack and break out of the encirclement to start a massacre in Jiangnan province?”

Chen Yiming had always been famous for his swordsmanship, and the spiritual figure was exactly the same as him. Therefore, for the time being, no one knew that he had a double.

However, no matter how much Rover thought about it, he felt that he had fallen into a trap. He could only place his last hope on the sea and endure his internal injuries to rush over as quickly as possible.

“Huh? Is he going to be a punching bag for me?”

Chen Yiming looked at Rover, who had displayed his cowardice to the fullest. He didn’t expect the martial master of the Sam Nation to be so cowardly as to not fight back at all.

Thinking of this, his body continued to expand, and in the blink of an eye, he had turned into a 100-meter-tall giant.

A ring of air erupted from under the giant’s feet, and he soared thousands of meters into the sky. His figure drew a parabola in the sky and crashed into the fleeing Rover, like a meteorite falling from the sky.

Rover, who was running for his life, felt the pressure from above him. His already pale face had completely lost all color.

He realized that it was useless to keep running, so he threw off his clothes. The muscles on his back squirmed, and his wings, which were only covered by a layer of skin, spread out.

At the same time, hundreds of blood-colored bats appeared around him, turning into a blood-colored torrent that flew towards the giant that had descended from the sky.

Rover himself also flew into the air, flapping his wings desperately to move away from the direction of the giant’s fall.

“Where are you going!”

The giant that Chen Yiming had transformed into shouted, his voice echoing through the clouds like thunder.

At the same time, he mobilized the power to control the clouds that the giants were born with. The clouds in the sky were stirred by an invisible force, as if a lid was pressing down towards the ground.

An invisible force field appeared within the range of the attack. It did not differentiate between friend or foe, and carried a heavy shackling force with it. It also indirectly enhanced the impact of his fall.

“shit!” Rover’s eyes bulged and his expression changed drastically.

Every time he flapped his wings, it was met with a huge amount of resistance. His flying speed had decreased by at least half, and he could not fly any higher. He could only fly at a low altitude of about 10 meters above the ground.

The blood-colored bats’ performance was even worse. They all exploded into a bloody mist, and did not provide any distraction, poison, or vitality-stealing effect.

“Justice has fallen from the sky! No, a giant elephant has fallen from the sky. No! A giant has fallen from the sky!”

Chen Yiming turned into a meteorite and smashed into the ground. A loud bang rang out. Although it wasn’t a blackish-red mushroom cloud that would cause one’s expression to change like a nuclear explosion, the direct impact and destructive power it created was greater.

A powerful shock wave spread out in all directions, uprooting many large trees along the way. Countless rocks and dust turned into a sandstorm that swept in all directions. With the landing point as the center, the shock wave cleared out an area in a radius of more than 10 kilometers around it.

When the dust settled, a huge hole that was three to four kilometers wide was revealed, along with a giant that was standing unharmed in the center.

“Those blood-colored bats are too weak in direct combat. They can even be torn apart by an invisible force field,” Chen Yiming said with a smirk.

Although the two of them had only exchanged a few blows, it was clear that Rover was not the type to fight head-on.

From the start, his stealth ability, wings, and agile blood-colored bats were all more for support, which suited his style of secretly causing trouble.

“Could he have died just like that? That shouldn’t be the case. Those who use blood as the core usually have stronger vitality and are very difficult to kill.”

Chen Yiming spread out his spiritual power and searched the area, not missing even a single drop of blood.

Finally, after eliminating all other suspicious objects, there was only one ball of flesh that still held a hint of life. This ball of flesh had some characteristics of a heart, but most of it did not look like one. In addition, its surface looked a little like it was affected by cancer.

“Perhaps if I hand it over to the experts from the biological research institute, they will be able to give us an answer as to why it has become like this.” Chen Yiming glanced at it a few times, but couldn’t figure it out and just gave up thinking about it.

There were professionals in every field. Doing research work was not something he could do in his previous life or in this one.

As he left the area, Chen Yiming fell into deep thought. He realized that he had underestimated the combat strength formed by the combination of the Giant Talent and the Undying Body talent.

The effect of two close combat talents was no longer the same as an ordinary 1+1 being more than 2. For example, Rover, who had transformed into a vampire-like creature, was directly smashed to pieces by him. He did not put up any resistance throughout the entire battle.

Another example was the black giant that he had destroyed with a single punch.

Thinking of this, it might be that even when faced with the black river that had surpassed the master realm and the treant at the same level, it was not impossible for him to defeat them together with the spiritual figure.

This way, the war plan needed to be changed, and he had to be more proactive.
