The second inland defense line in the East China Sea.

The Dragon Kingdom's army retreated here and had just set up camp.

Duan Hongyuan sat on a large rock, his old face pale, and blood was still seeping from the wound on his chest left by Feng Yiling.

He had just picked up the kettle to take a sip of water.

With a snap.

The kettle exploded in his hands.

Duan Hongyuan was stunned for half a second, and before he could react to what was going on, the dense and viscous spiritual energy in the air seeped into his body through every pore.

A puff of white smoke rose from the deep, bone-revealing wound on his chest. The granulation tissue writhed wildly, and in the blink of an eye, a scab formed, fell off, and left not even a mark.

"Holy crap?" Duan Hongyuan's eyes widened.

Before he could finish his second curse, a crisp sound came from deep within his dantian.

Click.

The bottleneck that had held him back for thirty years finally shattered.

His violent blood and qi surged uncontrollably from his body, tearing a huge hole in the clouds above his head.

A purple-gold aura circulated across his body.

Peak of the Stardust Realm!

Duan Hongyuan felt the surging power within his body and sprang up from the rock.

"What the hell... I broke through? Just like that?"

He wasn't the only one to achieve a breakthrough.

Longtai in the northern border town.

Chu Tianxing stood on the edge of the cliff, and the cane he had been using for decades exploded into a pile of wood chips on the spot.

His full head of white hair turned black from the roots, and the wrinkles on his face were smoothed out by the abundant blood and energy.

"Old Master Chu! Your face!" The guard next to him was dumbfounded.

Chu Tianxing didn't have time to pay attention to him.

His cultivation level soared like a rocket.

A pillar of energy and light rose from his body.

Another peak Stardust Realm cultivator!

Beside him, Chen Guoliang stared wide-eyed, his only remaining hand gripping the sword at his waist tightly.

His severed arm did not grow back, but his aura rose all the way from Martial Saint to Half-Step Star Dust.

"Is this air toxic?" Chen Guoliang yelled at the top of his lungs, "I took two breaths, and my meridians almost burst!"

Throughout the entire Dragon Kingdom, pillars of blood and energy shot into the sky one after another.

Veterans, generals, and folk martial artists who had been stuck at the bottleneck of Martial Venerable and Martial Saint for more than ten years broke through their realms one after another, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

The ceiling that had been pressing down on the human race on Earth was completely gone.

It's not just people.

Even inanimate objects change.

The surface of the hundred-refined steel knife in Chen Guoliang's hand, which had a dull blade, suddenly emitted a layer of blue light.

The steel material rapidly crystallized under the influence of spiritual energy, and the blade regained its unparalleled sharpness, even exuding a chilling aura capable of cutting through gold and jade.

The underground spirit stone veins are growing wildly, and ordinary stones that come into contact with spiritual energy are transformed into top-grade spirit stones.

The Ten Thousand Mountains of Southern Xinjiang.

The surge in spiritual energy benefited humans, and even the mutated beasts hiding deep in the mountains and forests were not left behind.

Deep in the mountains, several ancient mutated beasts, some hundreds of years old, grew larger and larger in the wind.

A black tiger with three heads and blood stripes stretched to over fifty meters in length.

It shook its fur and let out a roar from all three mouths at the same time.

Stardust Realm, Stage 1!

"roar!"

The blood-striped black tiger raised its paw and flattened a small hill next to it.

Its several pairs of bright red eyes were staring at the human city dozens of kilometers away, and saliva was dripping down its chin.

After holding back for hundreds of years, he finally gained invincible power.

It wants to eat people.

It led a dozen or so mutated beasts that had just broken through to the Stardust Realm and charged straight at the southern border defense line.

The defenders on the southern border had just experienced a breakthrough and had not yet had time to consolidate their position when they saw dark clouds rolling in from the horizon.

"Enemy attack! Mutant beasts have rioted!" The sentry shouted, sounding the alarm.

The blood-striped black tiger charged the fastest and was about to pounce into the city wall.

Right at this critical juncture.

The space above the city wall suddenly distorted.

A figure stepped out from the spatial rift.

Duan Hongyuan.

The old man had just leveled up and was worried about having nowhere to use his strength, so he stepped over it.

Without even drawing his sword, he looked at the blood-striped black tiger that pounced on him, raised his right hand, and slapped the largest head in the middle.

Snapped!

A crisp sound.

The blood-striped black tiger, over fifty meters long, didn't even let out a scream.

The three heads exploded like watermelons on the spot, and the huge body was sent flying backward by the force of the slap, disintegrating in mid-air and turning into a cloud of blood mist.

The dozen or so mutated beasts following behind were so frightened that they stopped abruptly.

They looked at the blood mist filling the sky, then at the old man in mid-air.

He turned and ran.

They ran several times faster than they came.

Duan Hongyuan stood in mid-air, flicked his wrist, and looked at the fleeing mutated beasts, sneering, "I just leveled up, and you all come here to give me your lives?"

He turned his head and looked towards the distant East China Sea, feeling the earth-shaking changes taking place throughout the entire Dragon Kingdom.

"That kid Lin Feng..." Duan Hongyuan burst into laughter, his voice booming like thunder, "What exactly did he do at the Earth's core?"

Deep within the Earth.

Lin Feng stood in front of the shattered remains of the planetary lock, gripping his gun.

The high-temperature magma had resumed its flow, but with the protective energy of the Star Core Realm cultivator, this temperature couldn't get close to him at all.

"Don't just stand there! Connect the pipe! Connect the pipe!"

Barron went completely insane in the back.

He scrambled to the core of the Earth's energy, pulled out several energy conduits from his storage belt, and inserted them into the primordial energy that was still gushing upwards.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Don't waste a single drop!"

Barron's eyes were bloodshot, and his hands left afterimages as he typed on the control panel.

"Space anchor point at maximum power! Energy extraction tower at full capacity!"

boom!

The massive amount of primordial energy from the Earth's core flowed directly into the underground arsenal in the North through pipelines.

Inside the arsenal, the energy matrix burst forth with blinding light, and the depleted energy tanks were instantly filled within seconds.

"Buzz!"

The deafening roar echoed through the underground arsenal.

The production line, which had been shut down, is now running at full speed.

Rows of mechanical weapons began to be manufactured.

Moreover, even more advanced production lines were forcibly activated by this massive energy.

Heavy armored beasts, space laser cannons, and individual exoskeletons have also begun to be manufactured.

Barron trembled with excitement as he watched the production data on the screen soar.

"I'm rich! I'm really rich this time!"

Baron gesticulated wildly: "This energy purity, this output! Forget the Skyhorns' vanguard, even if their main fleet came, I could drown them with my steel army!"

Lin Feng walked over and, seeing Baron's near-collapse state, was about to ask about the warship's charging status.

Beep, beep, beep!

The alarm blared through the vehicle's communication channels.

The sound came from the starcomputer of the B5-class warship hovering above.

Barron's maniacal laughter froze instantly.

He quickly switched the StarBrain interface to the main screen.

The screen flickered twice.

A red warning box popped up.

[Alert! Ultra-long-distance spatial warp signal detected!]

[Signal source: Edge of the solar system, near Pluto's orbit.]

[Target quantity: 12,000 warships.]

[Estimated arrival time in near-Earth orbit around Earth: 24 hours.]

Barron looked at the numbers on the screen, then turned to look at Lin Feng, his voice hoarse.

"Lin Feng... the main fleet of the Skyhorn Clan has locked us down."
