I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

The tyrant felt as if he had lost his footing and his body had sunk into the ground. A huge rock crashed down on his head, shattering into pieces and falling to the ground amidst a shower of blood.

boom!

It broke free from the ground in an instant and was at the side of the mountain qilin. It stretched out its right arm with bulging veins, wrapped it around from above, and grabbed the mountain qilin's throat.

"Roar--!"

The mountain unicorn's violent struggle put immense pressure on the tyrant. The muscles in its right arm looked like they were about to burst, and it was half again as muscular as before. The twisting of the muscles and veins was enough to make one's scalp tingle.

dong dong dong dong-

The free left fist pounded repeatedly on the mountain qilin's lower abdomen, causing the qilin to cough up blood and emit five elements light.

The mountain qilin struggled even more violently, its strength capable of shattering mountains. The tyrant swung wildly like a pendant, unable to hold it any longer, and had no choice but to let go.

It seemed that both sides had gained an advantage, but Yan Shan's injuries had recovered somewhat under the Five Elements Light, and his breathing remained long.

The tyrant felt somewhat exhausted; the prolonged and continuous output of power had actually pushed its fighting spirit to its limit!

This is a clash of ultimate power!

The two sides collided heavily again, and the earth-shattering shockwaves swept over them, clearing away the thunderous clouds covering their heads. Their divine power was overwhelming and unstoppable!

This battle was extremely brutal, even more so than when Yan Shan first faced off against the Skeleton Hunters and the Sky Dome.

Blood splattered across the sky, and the ground was so devastated that it was almost completely destroyed, probably enough to be used as a natural barrier.

What people watch with longing is the ultimate battle between the strongest!

Finally, after countless rounds of fierce fighting, a change finally occurred.

The tyrant was covered in blood, his body riddled with deep, hard claw marks, his abdomen nearly ripped open, and not a single patch of his skin was intact.

The mountain qilin standing opposite it had almost all its scales stripped off, and its whole body was covered in bruises and blood. It didn't look like it was seriously injured on the outside, but the internal damage was no less than that of the tyrant.

"Roar—!" The mountain qilin roared and continued to charge forward, fearless and reckless, its violent aura surging forth.

The tyrant now knew that even if he allowed Yan Shan to break through now, it was unlikely given his current state.

How could such a irrational beast, capable only of slaughter, break through to the Soul Heaven realm?

What a big joke!

The tyrant stopped fighting and turned away, covering a thousand meters in a single step, much faster than a bullet. He then leaped into the sea of ​​clouds, where no one could catch up.

In this world, only one victor remains.

However, can that really be considered a victory?

—A victory, yet a defeat.

132. Miracles and hope coexist.

That battlefield was always the most eye-catching place; as soon as there was any movement, everyone noticed and turned to look.

The Tyrant King of Giants departed at an astonishing speed, covering a thousand meters in a single stride. When he was running at full speed, he exceeded the speed of sound by several times, and then leaped heavily!

boom!

The ground was subjected to terrible pressure and shattered. Using this immense force, the tyrant leaped into the sky and into the storm clouds.

Lightning cannot touch it; it is as if it were in an empty place.

Suddenly, the tyrant sensed someone's gaze and turned his head. He saw a figure hidden in the clouds, with blue eyes and holding a long spear.

As the clouds dispersed, a stunningly beautiful woman, of unparalleled elegance, stood atop the clouds, with thunder surging around her, holding life and death in her hands, her power overwhelming.

Despite their vastly different temperaments, the tyrant miraculously saw the shadow of his previous opponent in her.

“One day, I will kill you.”

Just as the tyrant was about to fall, the stunningly beautiful woman suddenly uttered a word, and then the clouds obscured her vision, and she was never seen again.

......

Through the endless clouds, Yan Ziming watched the tyrant, who was still receding into the distance, disappear from her sight in less than two seconds.

Her eyes seemed to be burning with flames.

What I just said wasn't some boastful statement, but rather a statement about a predetermined future event.

The tyrant interrupted Yan Shan's breakthrough at the most crucial moment, and from that moment on, the enmity was already formed.

"Counter-attack!"

Huang Tao, who had taken over command again, roared hoarsely, his long, drawn-out voice, full of murderous intent, echoing throughout the entire battlefield, shaking the heavens and the earth!

The winds of war have shifted, spreading to every corner of the world, penetrating every person's body, and enduring for a long time to come, blowing across this land.

At this point, all the pieces on the chessboard have been captured!

The entire Sichuan Military Administrative Region, as well as the Guangdong Military Administrative Region which was also engaged in fierce fighting, and the entire country of China, all unleashed their full potential.

"kill!!!"

"Slaughter these bastards!"

"Full firepower, volley fire—!!!"

The artillery, which had already been rearranged, began its final barrage, with countless rockets being launched from within Xiyue City, blotting out the sky.

This is the strongest outburst after a long period of suppression, prepared for this very moment. It is more terrifying than a volcanic eruption, carrying the momentum as if it were about to blow up the entire planet, pressing down on all the mutated species.

The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the ant nest.

Moreover, the departure of the tyrant was itself a huge breach; the thousand-mile dike ceased to exist from that moment on.

Not only because of this, but also because the beam of light that fell from the sky terrified them. Every mutated species was worried that the beam of light would fall on their heads in the next second, and their fear had been suppressed to the limit.

With the tyrant gone, the weight that had been suppressing this fear vanished, and the sudden surge in morale on the human side completely reignited it; they were terrified.

Boom boom boom boom——

The endless barrage of artillery fire intensified the atmosphere of blood and bone. The horde of beasts retreated, running in the opposite direction. This had a ripple effect, causing the entire 'ocean' to recede. It was a breathtaking scene that defied description.

Artillery fire, shrapnel, trampling, heat waves... the number of mutated species was decreasing at an alarming rate, perfectly illustrating the saying "a defeat is like a landslide, while victors come like a tide." People witnessed the second glorious victory in the history of the apocalypse.

The first time was when the Central Plains were pacified. The veterans who experienced that time still vividly remember the scene of the great defeat of the enemy army. Now, they are able to see a scene that is even more magnificent than that time, and they can't help but burst into tears, their tears soaking their clothes.

Long live China!

An elderly veteran with missing limbs choked out a shout, deeply moving everyone present. Then came the second, the third... until finally everyone joined in the shouting. The magnificent sound even reached the civilians in the underground shelter, who also joined in this incredibly awe-inspiring wave of sound.

"kill!!!"

Thunder roared across the sky, and all the dark clouds pressed down at that moment, like a waterfall of silver from the heavens. An endless sea of ​​thunder engulfed the ground, and as the clouds rolled by, everything was swept away by the wind.

In an instant, more than a hundred beams of light fell simultaneously, sweeping through the ranks of mutated species and crushing them with overwhelming firepower. The towering lightning flames ignited their morale, turning sparks into a raging inferno that burned the heavens!

Yan Ziming took one last look in the direction of Yan Shan, feeling a heavy responsibility weighing on him. He resolutely turned and left, riding on the thunderbolts, leading his troops forward and spreading the flames of war throughout the entire country.

A vigorous counterattack is underway. After sharpening their swords for a long time, they are finally showing their fangs. They not only want to launch a counterattack, but also to recreate the miracle of eight years ago.

Their goal this time is to advance westward and retake Western Tibet Province in one fell swoop!

The sky above Xiyue City was illuminated by dazzling trails of light, converging into a galaxy. The fallen comrades, along with the deafening roar of artillery fire, transformed into shimmering rays of light, flying into the distance like a starlit avenue, guiding their fallen comrades and compatriots home...

...........

Unlike the exhilaration that people had been suppressing for so long, Bai He's mood remained heavy at this moment. Looking in the direction of the mountain unicorn, her heart almost stopped beating.

"We've seen the overall situation clearly... but this place is still... we absolutely must hold on... we absolutely must..."

She is worried.

Bai He no longer hopes that Yan Shan can break through to the Soul Heaven realm. She now has only one hope: that Yan Shan must not fall into the abyss of alienation.

If he doesn't make it through, it will undoubtedly be a devastating blow to morale, and all our efforts will be in vain.

And China will suffer a severe setback as a result.

What is the truth?

The Qilin watched him from not far away from the Mountain Qilin, without blinking. Finally, in everyone's sight, the Mountain Qilin gradually transformed into a young man, standing with his head held high, motionless.

Those who knew the cause and effect watched nervously, their heart rates dropping to a minimum, not daring to utter a sound.

"Ah—!!!" Yan Shan suddenly opened his mouth and roared, causing the mountains and rivers to tremble. His hair danced wildly behind him, exuding a chilling murderous aura and dazzling majesty.

He seemed to be undergoing some kind of transformation, his aura was incredibly strong, and his back became illusory, as if he was so powerful that the world could no longer contain him.

A dense aura of blood energy rumbled out, causing countless people's legs to go weak and their bodies to tremble; it was an extremely powerful aura.

At a certain point, his breath caught in his throat, like a landslide, or like a giant being crushed, encountering an unimaginable setback.

People's hearts were in their throats.

Suddenly, an incomparably terrifying aura erupted from Yan Shan's body, violent, destructive, and all-consuming. This aura gathered behind him into a sea of ​​blood-red light.

Oops!

Their hearts skipped a beat. If Yan Shan were to undergo a transformation, no one present would be able to stop him, and China would suffer a fatal blow!

A catastrophic disaster!

However, Yan Shan had spent his entire life fighting and protecting China. How could he possibly choose to destroy so many years of hard work with his own hands?
