We made you practice martial arts, and you've mastered the Great Golden Body?

The moment that deep, long, and lingering sigh echoed within a radius of a hundred miles, everyone's heartbeat seemed to be tightly gripped by an invisible hand.

Then it paused for a moment.

All the soldiers, whether they were from the atheistic Chinese New Army or from America who believed in God, felt an indescribable, deep-seated fear surging through their hearts like a tidal wave.

It involuntarily evokes an unprecedented sense of fear.

This fear, like a chilling blast of air, rendered their equipment useless, silently seeping into every part of their bodies, including their bone marrow.

This made them tremble with fear, almost wanting to abandon the truth they held and choose to run away as fast as they could, fleeing this place.

However, there was nothing that could be done.

This fear is not simply due to external threats, but rather it resonates with everyone's hearts and is imprinted deep within the souls of primitive humans—an instinctive dread of unknown and powerful creatures.

It transcends faith, culture, and nationality, becoming a common language.

Most of the soldiers were like ants trapped in a spider web, with nothing to do but wait for death.

at the same time.

The entire battlefield, which was originally filled with the roar of cannons and constant noise, seemed to freeze instantly, along with the air itself, as if frozen by some mysterious force.

Even the distant roar of artillery shells hitting the ground seemed to be swallowed up by this invisible force.

All that remained were the rapid heartbeats and breathing of the crowd, so prominent and so loud on the battlefield at that moment.

This proves that these people are still alive.

“Fuck…” At this moment, Hines stood on the tank, fine beads of sweat on his forehead, gathering into drops that dripped down his pale face, his heart constantly uttering fragrant words.

He was not only dealing with the opposing Chinese New Army, but also with his own intelligence personnel.

In Hines' view, this despairing sigh was definitely a new sonic weapon developed by the Chinese New Army, specifically for use in the Goryeo War.

Simply put, these American soldiers were merely the enemy's test subjects.

however.

"Could it be? Could it be... that stranger..." At this moment, Zhang Weishan's eyes were also filled with fear as he stared intently in the direction where the bear was.

He understood everything after only a moment's thought.

Zhang Weishan was at least 90% certain that the silent sigh most likely came from the strange young man who had descended from the sky like a god.

If America's army still had such a trump card, it would probably have been exposed long ago.

The Chinese New Army was chosen as the first test subject, and at the same time, it was also intended to deter the Soviet Union, the socialist big brother.

For details, please refer to the passionate Japan of that time.

Zhang Weishan and Hines's ideas were surprisingly in sync, except that the former saw things more clearly, pointing directly to the root of all the strangeness.

The facts proved Zhang Weishan's guess to be correct.

"This? This! Is this guy a human or a ghost?!" The bear lay prostrate on the ground, staring blankly at the towering figure before him through the gaps between his fingers.

For a moment, he was speechless.

Compared to Zhang Weishan and his group of new Chinese troops in the distance, and the American army led by Hines a hundred or two meters away.

The bear's feelings were even more profound.

In addition, his passive talent, Beast Perception, caused his adrenaline to surge, flowing into every cell with his bloodstream, plunging him into a state of extreme excitement.

The power has increased exponentially.

However, no matter how much the bear's strength increased, it was as if there was an invisible giant hand on his shoulder, pressing him hard to the ground.

Couldn't move at all.

But as for other damages, there really weren't any.

So, although the bear's instincts kept urging him to escape this place as soon as possible, he was also very curious about who this person in front of him was.

Could he be a legendary immortal?

Shen Bailian stood quietly amidst the swirling dust that resembled a thick fog. His divine eye rapidly scanned his surroundings, while notification messages continuously appeared before his eyes.

The face, which had become pale after being exposed to the brilliance of the power of time and space, instantly began to regain its rosy hue.

Suddenly, a vibrant life force began to emerge from the depths of Shen Bailian's dantian, like a spring, with fresh water gushing forth.

The body, which was originally "rusty", suddenly began to undergo amazing changes and was rejuvenated under the irrigation and nourishment of the spring water.

Every joint and every muscle, under the gentle caress of the source energy, is revitalized. The fatigue and scars of the past are like crumpled paper being quietly smoothed out, undergoing a renewal of life.

All of this happened silently.

However, even the simplest heartbeat sounded to the bear's ears like the roar of an extremely large and efficient engine.

This strange, unusual heartbeat caused the bear's internal organs to resonate violently, and in just a moment, it coughed up a mouthful of black blood.

It soaked into the scorched earth beneath his face.

"This, this... this can't really be an immortal, can it?" Bear felt the strange state in his body. As he spat out black blood, the impurities in his body seemed to be swept away, giving him a strange sense of freshness.

Furthermore, with the intense resonance of his internal organs, his body seemed to be undergoing a rapid evolution.

Correct!
In the words of a scholar, it's evolution!

A renewal of life, a special journey, where the power that was originally stagnant as the body developed is now slowly increasing.

This is nothing short of a miracle.

This was a feeling the bear had never experienced before. If it had to describe it briefly, it would be like returning to the time when it was in its mother's womb.

at the same time.

As the power of origin subsided, Shen Bailian's previously damaged body gradually recovered to a near-perfect state. His gaze shifted slightly, and he focused 99% of his attention on the ink-wash panel—

"Fortunately, it seems that this time we won't be stuck in the spacetime vortex for too long." Shen Bailian quickly noticed the remaining number of uses for the skill [Shadow Follows].

Before being drawn into the spacetime vortex, his spiritual sea was inexplicably attacked and severely damaged.

Fortunately, the panel is a manifestation of Shen Bailian's original talent, so with the help of his last remaining consciousness, he successfully increased the number of energy storage times by eight.

In fact, this was not his intention.

But there was nothing he could do. That inexplicable attack came too cleverly. He hadn't fully recovered from what Li Mengyi had said, and the Star Ring World's consciousness continued to suppress him.

These external factors meant that Shen Bailian had absolutely no proactive preventative measures.

Of course, in that situation, he wouldn't be able to react at all.

Now, the number of passive energy storage times that follow you has only decreased by two, which means that Shen Bailian has not been in the spacetime storm for very long.

After confirming this, Shen Bailian breathed a sigh of relief.

But then.

"Damn, they really went all out!" Shen Bailian thought to himself. Now, whenever he thought of the fragmented memories he had in the time-space storm, he felt a chill run down his spine.

In addition to increasing the number of passive energy storage times for the Shadow Follows, Shen Bailian also subconsciously upgraded the skill [Iron Body] by one level.

Otherwise, the number of resurrections would not just be two.

Without much thought, Shen Bailian could roughly guess who the mastermind was. On Earth Origin Star, besides the three forces of the gods, humans, and ferocious beasts, there was actually another hidden force.

Although it is not well-known, it has been highlighted in the Chinese and history textbooks of Daxia High School, and it is an easy question that appears in 90% of the exams.

That is the world consciousness—Gaia.

After the gods fell into a state of silence, the world authority of the Zhenyuan Universe basically returned to the hands of the world consciousness.

Furthermore, according to the textbook description, Gaia probably already had independent thoughts and consciousness.

This is a miracle unique to life.

Fortunately, perhaps some kind of constraint exists in the dark, which prevents Gaia from effectively utilizing all the power in the world, even though she holds it.

Or rather, Gaia can only use the authority of the world to nurture all living things in the world.

From before entering the world portal to after fully entering, Shen Bailian's Eye of God remained open, and he never discovered the existence of divine power.

Therefore, it is inevitable that a third party will intervene.

As for whether it could be a ferocious beast?
It's practically impossible; the probability is extremely low.

Because fifth-tier lord-level ferocious beasts, and ferocious beasts of the fifth tier and above, basically possess independent thinking, and their intelligence is in no way below the average level of most adult humans.

These kinds of ferocious beasts are not so hostile to humans.

To these high-level ferocious beasts, they themselves are a completely new species, and the other low-level ferocious beasts are merely their food.

Shen Bailian entered the world portal above Hulao Pass, risking being besieged by the Divine Palace Realm and facing a spacetime storm, to intercept and kill Shen Bailian in the spacetime tunnel.
That's a bit too stupid.

Of course, there is another point. During the spacetime storm, Shen Bailian noticed a crucial piece of evidence: an invisible force was protecting him.

And amidst the chaotic temporal storm, it has been guiding him.

otherwise?

Like a small boat in the vast Pacific Ocean, without any direction to guide it, it tries to find a suitable island to land on.

That's almost impossible.

Moreover, in the vast ocean of nothingness, which is far more expansive than the ocean itself.

"What a weak world! It led me to this low-energy world, trying to trap me and then obtain that so-called treasure that can break the shackles?" Shen Bailian's divine eye expanded to the extreme, extending thousands of miles away, but he still couldn't sense the existence of any trace of the world's elemental power.

A helpless, bitter smile appeared on his face.

This world, compared to the Zhenyuan Universe or the Star Ring World that Shen Bailian had never been to, exudes an aura of deathly stillness.

Just like an old man who has entered his twilight years and is about to decay.

Because of the low energy level of this world, Shen Bailian's power is already considered an immense force that is difficult for this world to bear.

His thought was only slightly moved.

For a moment, the air seemed to freeze, and then—

Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
An indescribable, vortex-shaped gale, containing immense power, suddenly emerged from nothingness, with the location where Shen Bailian and Xiong Xiazi were situated as its absolute core, and raged outwards in all directions.

From high above, the gale looked like a small nuclear bomb detonating on a calm sea, instantly creating towering waves.

The howling wind, with its destructive force, swept and dispersed rapidly in all directions, leaving sand and stones flying and darkness in its wake.

Its power is so immense that it leaves people speechless.

The new Chinese army soldiers, who were trapped in the deep trenches, were protected by this natural barrier. Although they felt the pressure, they were able to withstand the onslaught of the gale.

However, for the unprepared American soldiers exposed to the fierce winds, this sudden turn of events was nothing short of an unexpected disaster.

They staggered and struggled in the gale, some were blown about by the wind, and others were hit by debris swirling in the wind. Cries of agony filled the air, and tragic scenes unfolded one after another.

"So this is the energy level effect." Shen Bailian felt his own power, and his brows furrowed slightly.

It should be noted that what he is releasing now is only about one-tenth of his spiritual power, but even so, it is already enough to cause natural disasters.

If one were to unleash their full mental power, the area within a radius of several hundred miles would likely be razed to the ground in an instant.

What if it's his physical strength?

It's almost unimaginable; it's not entirely impossible that they could even directly blast the planet beneath their feet apart.

The bear stared at this miraculous sight, speechless for a moment, and a strange thought arose in its mind.

"It's over...it's completely over." The bear thought back to how he had used this person as a shield. Although there were other reasons involved, if the other party had really gotten angry, there would probably only be one outcome waiting for him.

That is—death.

"Fire! Fire!" Feeling the howling wind, Hines was quickly overcome by fear and grabbed a megaphone, issuing the order to fire amidst the howling wind.

boom!
Under the combined effects of the terrifying blast wave and negative pressure, the shell instantly broke through the muzzle membrane, reaching a terrifying initial velocity of 560 m/s.

The shell slammed into the air wall, creating a terrifying sonic boom. At the same time, the intense friction made the shell seem to be burning.

Dozens of dazzling meteors flew towards the bear's trapped area at an angle of twenty or thirty degrees.

"Watch out!" The bear's pupils contracted sharply as it sounded an alarm at the unfamiliar human.

however.

"How interesting." Shen Bailian watched the incoming shells, his hand flashing through the air, and with a flash of white light, the shells were instantly split in two. (End of Chapter)
