Apocalypse: Become stronger by absorbing flames at the start; my name is the Flame Emperor.

The Forbidden City, within the grand courtyard where the emperor resides.

"Your Majesty, of the 36 provinces outside the Forbidden City, only 11 provinces have clearly responded to the call to arms; the others have remained silent. It seems they intend to declare independence."

At this moment, Daofeng was like a sword about to be drawn from its sheath, exuding a chilling aura.

This situation was somewhat unexpected for him.

Of the 36 provincial-level garrison troops stationed outside the province, only one-third were willing to obey orders.

This will never happen before the end times.

"Well, this situation was expected long ago. It's already excellent that eleven provinces are willing to be transferred."

The king sighed, but there was nothing he could do.

In this day and age, humanity is on the brink of life and death. Zombies and mutated beasts nurtured by nuclear energy are humanity's greatest enemies.

If not handled properly, humanity could face extinction.

"What about the major ancient families?" the king asked.

"A huge change has occurred in the Wang family. Wang Yiling, the 'Crazy Wang,' has become the head of the Wang family. She is willing to share the research results of the original crystal core with us."

Blade paused, then continued, "The Xie family is also interested in forming an alliance. Some of the other ancient families have completely declined and are no longer a threat. The remaining families have not yet responded."

"Alright, in that case, let's share the research results with the Wang family to enhance the Dragon Group's strength in order to cope with the competition among the hundred nations."

"yes!"

……

Four days passed in the blink of an eye, and quite a few second-tier experts appeared on the ranking list, totaling 167.

With the full support of their countries, many of the truly top-tier experts from abroad have already broken through to the second tier.

Some are even preparing to break through to the third tier.

Of the 167 second-tier individuals, the Great Xia Empire accounted for 79, nearly half.

This is Tianhai City.

Under the master's deliberate manipulation, the fighting became increasingly fierce.

He successively deployed all 1.5 million zombies in Tianhai City to the battlefield.

"This trip to Tianhai has been incredibly profitable."

The master was so excited that he couldn't keep up his gentlemanly demeanor.

In just three days.

He used the zombie army to fight against the mutated beasts, consuming millions of zombies and reducing the number of mutated rats to below 60,000.

During this process, many second-tier and even third-tier creatures were created.

His level also soared, reaching the second tier, level ten.

Breaking through to the third tier, only 8 more crystal cores are needed.

"We already have a lot of second-tier, level 10 mutated rats. With another wave of evolution, they will definitely be able to break into the third tier."

The more Master Brother thought about it, the more excited he became.

Currently, there are fewer than two hundred Tier 2 individuals in the entire world, and he already has one foot in Tier 3.

Who wouldn't be excited about this?

"Those guys are probably already itching to get started."

The master thought of magician Lin Yu, and other powerful figures hiding in the shadows.

"However, in terms of gains, no one can compare to me."

He roared with boundless pride at his army of zombies.

……

"That's about it. Piaopiao, Xiaoyou, the three of us will go first. The rest of you can wait." Lin Yu looked at the battlefield ahead, a hint of excitement and anticipation flashing in his eyes.

He has rested for four days and his body and mind have recovered to their best condition.

After saying this, Lin Yu rushed forward without hesitation. He was incredibly fast, like a bolt of lightning streaking across the sky.

Lin Yu is now at the second level, and in his normal state, he can easily kill second-level zombies.

"Flaming Blade!"

Flames condensed in Lin Yu's hand, specifically designed to kill first- and second-tier zombies, as well as mutated rats.

Several hours later.

The number of zombies and mutated rats on the battlefield has been reduced by a significant margin once again.

Almost every few minutes, a second-order being is born.

Somewhere on the battlefield, a gigantic mutated rat bit off the head of a second-tier zombie.

It devoured its flesh and blood.

"boom!"

The power within it seemed to have reached a certain critical point, and its entire body erupted with powerful magical fluctuations.

From a distance, its body appeared to be growing rapidly, and in just a short time, its size doubled.

"Third tier!"

Lin Yu sensed the fluctuation from afar, and with a surge of joy, he charged straight in that direction.

"kill!"

Some powerful figures who had been hiding in the shadows could no longer hold back and rushed into the battlefield.

The Rain God appeared, his face cold and stern.

In the area where he was, a light drizzle inexplicably began to fall.

Each drop of rain seems to contain a thousand pounds of power.

"Drip drip drip"

Raindrops fell on the zombies, piercing their bodies and turning them into sieves.

Wherever he went, zombies and mutated rats all met a gruesome end.

Their bodies, without exception, were riddled with holes.

the other side.

Divine punishment descended with overwhelming lightning; arcs of electricity danced, and the heads of the zombies exploded one after another.

This moment.

All the evolved beings hidden in the surrounding area made their move.

"Flame Form!"

Lin Yu gave a soft shout.

Yellow flames suddenly ignited on his body, and he transformed into a streak of fire, rapidly approaching the third-tier mutated rat.

"Flaming Blade!"

A fifty-meter-long flaming blade materialized and slashed directly down at the third-tier mutated rat.

Wherever the flaming blade passed, severed limbs and broken arms flew up.

"Bang!"

The terrifying strike landed squarely on the mutated rat's body, sending it flying.

"Magic Circle: Hellfire!"

Just then, a loud shout rang out from the arena.

As the voice appeared, a huge magic circle suddenly appeared above the head of the third-tier mutated rat.

The crimson magic array slowly rotated, brewing terrifying energy.

"Master, this is mine, don't even think about stealing it!" Lin Yu shouted and rushed over at lightning speed.

This is a third-tier crystal core; we absolutely cannot give it away.
