The plunder of the heavens begins with the Spirit Cage.

"boom--!!!"

Without any warning, a violent explosion suddenly erupted.

Under the impact of high temperature, flames shot into the sky, and the rock wall, tens of meters high, collapsed with a roar.

Hot magma fragments, formed by extreme heat, crashed down with a torrent of rocks towards the canyon entrance.

The Devouring Beasts, who were roaring at the floating vehicle with their heads raised, had no time to react.

The surging rubble, like a colossal beast swallowing the sky, instantly engulfed the Devouring Beasts in the passage who had no time to escape.

The mournful howls were completely drowned out by the roar of the collapse, and several Devouring Beasts tried to climb up and escape.

However, it was burned into coke and submerged by the high-temperature lava flow.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, the canyon entrance was completely blocked by thick rubble. The scorching heat generated by the collapse surged and rose, and after cooling, it quickly formed a solid high wall.

The team of superhumans didn't have time to witness such a spectacular scene.

The instant the missiles exploded, several armed hovercrafts carrying superhumans simultaneously changed direction and swooped down toward the Mana Flower at the bottom of the valley.

As the vehicle continued to lower its height, the missile on its roof had already flown to its designated coordinates.

"Boom—boom—"

A series of deafening explosions rang out, and shockwaves carrying debris shot into the sky.

The Devouring Beasts surrounding the flowers had no time to react before being thrown away by the powerful shockwave.

The sickle-footed, snake-dog, and hook-claw-shaped Devouring Beasts clashed together, each bearing injuries, and their formation instantly collapsed.

The continuous barrage of missiles quickly cleared a clear, rocky area around the Mana Flower.

Just as the beasts were in disarray, Lu Qianwei opened the car door and shouldered a rocket launcher.

A special, entirely silver-white missile was launched, aimed at the area above the Mana Flower.

"Hum—!!" There was no deafening roar, only a sudden burst of overclocking sound.

The invisible sound waves, like pebbles thrown into water, spread out in circles of ripples invisible to the naked eye from the point of explosion.

The Mana Flower paused abruptly, its already dull petals suddenly losing their color.

The Devouring Beasts, whose wounds were blasted open by the artillery fire, were instantly drained of their strength, and their roars became weak and feeble.

Chapter 55 Evacuation and Cleanup

The Devouring Beast suddenly discovered that its connection with the Mana Flower had been severed.

Even the wounds on his body no longer healed; being hit by a missile resulted in severe injury and unconsciousness.

This inadvertently reduced the number of enemies for everyone.

"Landing zone cleared!" the pilot exclaimed excitedly. "Clear for landing!"

Before the hovercar could descend to a safe distance, Lu Qianwei had already taken advantage of the flight backpack and jumped down.

With a humming vibration, the backpack wings instantly unfolded, and the pale blue propulsion airflow propelled him like an arrow released from a bow, plunging straight towards the mana flower in the center.

Before the Devouring Beast could react violently and stop him, Lu Qianwei's Burning Bone Sword, carrying the momentum of a thousand falling troops, fiercely stabbed towards the blood-red flower bud.

With a systematic method of absorption, he didn't need to wait for the superpowered team to inject spiritual energy to block and destroy it.

Just inhale it!

As expected, in the blink of an eye, the source essence that Mana Flower had just obtained had not yet been sent underground.

It is then retrieved by the system using higher-dimensional methods.

The underground main root system seemed to sense the danger and decisively severed its connection with the Mana Flower King.

As the Mana Flower King lay dying, it writhed and swayed frantically, emanating wisps of scarlet mist as it cried out in despair.

The silent, high-frequency tremor frantically transmitted distress signals to the surrounding Devouring Beasts.

The Devouring Beast, which had just recovered, was instantly stimulated by this signal, causing its eyes to turn blood red.

They roared, ignoring their wounds, and charged towards Lu Qianwei with all six legs pushing off the ground.

But they had only taken a few steps when they were stopped by a sharp, fiery red spear.

Zhao Yunying pierced the skull of the foremost sickle-footed beast with a single spear thrust.

Without the supply of source matter, the spirit seeds within the Devouring Beast's body are merely for show.

The other members took out various cold weapons forged from the bones of the Devouring Beast and charged into the beast horde, blocking them from heading towards Lu Qianwei's location.

Faced with such a bloody and intense battle scene, Dirk was naturally unwilling to be outdone.

He took up his ion blade and joined the killing battlefield.

In an instant, roars, the clash of weapons, and the cracking of animal bones filled the air.

The armed airships high in the sky also opened fire at the opportune moment, missiles trailing crimson flames crashing down on the densely packed horde of beasts, the explosions sending a swarm of Devouring Beasts flying.

The machine guns spewed fire incessantly, and bullets rained down like a storm, carving scorch marks into the ground and relentlessly suppressing the beast horde that was trying to outflank them.

When Lu Qianwei joined the battle, the system's forced absorption of source matter directly turned the battlefield into a one-sided affair.

Without ranged attacks or regeneration, the Devouring Beasts were no match for firearms and Lu Qianwei and his group.

The hard armor of the power armor is something these weak Devouring Beasts, who can only absorb the energy of heaven and earth to survive, cannot bite through.

As the tip of Zhao Yunying's spear blazed with intense flames, she cleanly and swiftly swept, slashed, and thrust at the Devouring Beast three times in succession.

She gracefully withdrew her spear, a dazzling display of fire lotus blossoms, and made her final, elegant exit.

Lu Qianwei was incredibly envious of this!

It seems we need to urge the senior professors at the research institute to speed up the experimental process of the phenomenological equipment; he also needs to awaken his potential!

"Commander, Captain!"

"A large number of Devouring Beasts have already crossed the rubble barrier and are coming. They are expected to arrive within three minutes!" The warning sound from the airship rang out.

Lu Qianwei said he understood and waved to everyone, urging them to get on the bus and evacuate.

He glanced down at the skeletons of the Devouring Beasts scattered on the ground and clicked his tongue in regret.

Not far away, Dirk was still slicing off the heads of the Devouring Beasts one by one with his blade.

Lu Qianwei exclaimed helplessly, "Dirk! Stop picking up these small fry's skulls! Next time I'll take you to hunt bigger ones!"

Upon hearing this, Dirk shoved the ion blade back into his waistband, glanced one last time at the animal carcass on the ground, and then turned to join the main group, getting into the vehicle and leaving.

Zhao Yunying leaped onto the vehicle cabin in a few bounds, and when she turned around, she saw Lu Qianwei being carried by a flight backpack and landing steadily beside her.

The engines of the hovercars roared as they ascended, the formation rapidly gaining altitude and speeding towards the edge of the canyon.

When the densely packed Devouring Beasts rushed close, they could only raise their heads in resentment and roar!

"Scream!" Lu Qianwei's lips curled into a smile. "You'll see what happens soon enough."

As he spoke, he raised his hand to the tactical communicator by his ear and contacted the bunker command center.

"Target area 'Bloodthorn Garden', Mana Flower King has been destroyed, secondary objective completed."

A large herd of animals has been attracted and gathered at coordinates: Alpha-7-Delta-9.

Repeat, coordinates: Alpha-7-Delta-9.

With no regeneration capability, implement the "Iron Plow" strategy for saturation and coverage strikes!

Authorization code: Qianjun-Poxiao-03.

A prompt confirmation came from the other end of the communicator: "Received, coordinates confirmed!"

The strike order has been issued and is expected to arrive in three minutes.

Please ensure you are at a safe distance.

"receive.

"We are evacuating; we've gone beyond the safe radius," Lu Qianwei replied, then cut off communication.

He turned to the people in the cabin and said, "Sit tight, the 'gift' is on its way."

As the convoy of hovercraft accelerated again and surged out of the canyon, they climbed to a sufficient height.

The nose of the aircraft is turned so that the observation window is perfectly aligned, allowing the person being transported to see what is about to happen.

Time passed second by second.

Losing its target, the Devouring Beast paced restlessly, tearing and biting, leaving the ground in a mess.

As the distant horizon came into view, several dazzling spots of light appeared.

The fiery white trail, like a divine spear of judgment, slammed down with a chilling shriek, precisely targeting the coordinates where several groups of beasts had gathered!

"It's here!" Zhao Yunying exclaimed excitedly, almost pressing her face against the observation window.

Everyone held their breath, watching the impending scene of destruction.

boom--!!!

As an enormous, dazzling fireball expanded, everything in the canyon was instantly swallowed up.

Whether it's the massive Sickle-footed Beast or the agile Snake-dog, they can only be vaporized by the extreme heat in the face of absolute destructive power.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom—!!!

Subsequent missiles landed one after another in the designated coordinate area and its surroundings.

Thick smoke billowed up, forming a huge, twisted black column of smoke above the canyon.

"Target area, coverage confirmed."

"Life signals...massive annihilation," the observer calmly reported.

Lu Qianwei looked at the land that had been thoroughly "plowed" and was now only covered in flames, thick smoke, scorched earth, and debris, and nodded in satisfaction.

Now that he can access resources from other timelines, Lu Qianwei is no longer as conservative and economical with missiles as before.

"Mission 'Iron Plow' has been completed!"

"Cut off work, head back."
