Chapter 1784: Advance At High Speed

Visuals and radar were engaged. All the detection equipment were targeted at A Ruheng.

In the next moment, the screen in the command post switched over to the video recording device strapped to A Ruheng’s body. One could see the scenery beneath A Ruheng rolled by swiftly on the screen. At the same time, a layer of faint golden radiance could be seen as well.

Yu Guanzhi frowned deeply. He had yet to fully clear his mind of the images of Air Force Battalion One’s glorious sacrifice earlier.

Those were all flying aces!

“Can he do it?” Yu Guanzhi muttered to himself.

“If he can’t do it, nobody else can.” The current War God Hall’s Hall Master, the Skycrosser Douluo Guan Yue was in the command post at present. He had made his way to Yu Guanzhi’s side in the meantime.

Yu Guanzhi turned his head to look at him. Yu Guanzhi was not familiar with the Skycrosser Douluo because the Boundless Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie’s performance in the War God Hall was too outstanding. Hence, the vast majority of the high-ranking military personnel only knew of Chen Xinjie. On the other hand, they only knew that Guan Yue was a Limit Douluo and the deputy of Chen Xinjie.

In fact, there were many people who did not even know what his martial soul was.

It was only after Chen Xinjie retired from the War God Hall that the Skycrosser Douluo was promoted to the position of the War God Hall’s Hall Master. Chen Xinjie used his influence to support Guan Yue for the post against the opinion of the majority. Following his promotion, the Skycrosser Douluo was then known to the public.

Thus, Yu Guanzhi did not trust him very much. “Really?” asked Yu Guanzhi subconsciously.

Guan Yue smiled. “This person has the strongest body of all the bodies I’ve ever seen.”

There was no need for him to elaborate since what happened next would prove it beyond a doubt.

The federal army was gathered on the edge of Thule. It did not take long for A Ruheng to fly to the northernmost core area at supersonic speed.

Soon, A Ruheng could see the abyssal bomb bees while flying at high speed!

These bomb bees were at least the size of a fist. They were evenly distributed across the sky. When seen from afar, the bees appeared to be densely-packed black dots.

A Ruheng chuckled. He did not show the slightest intention of slowing down. Instead, he charged toward the hive of bees.

It felt as if these abyssal bomb bees were in cruising mode. They reacted instantly upon sensing A Ruheng flying over at high speed. The bomb bees closest to A Ruheng flew toward him rapidly. They burned the wings on their backs and used the converted energy to blast themselves toward A Ruheng.

They indulged in the splendor of instant explosion in their lives.

A Ruheng burst out laughing aloud. The golden red glow on his skin could be seen faintly. In the next moment, he was already covered by the swarm of bees charging toward him.

“Boom, boom, boom, boom!” The deafening sounds could be heard exploding in the sky.

The screen in the command post turned all white at once. The piercing, booming noises were relayed into the command post similarly via an audio unit. It felt as if the command post was bombed as well.

Yu Guanzhi frowned deeply. He raised his hand and gave his forehead a slap.

“Take it easy, General Yu. Just wait and see,” said Guan Yue smilingly.

Yu Guanzhi was stunned for a moment. However, he noticed that the violent booming sounds were constantly heard without the slightest pause.

If the person had died from the blast, there would be no further blasting.

The periphery of the northernmost core of Thule had turned into a ring of fiery explosions with A Ruheng at its epicenter. Needless to say, a ball of fiery light was crossing the ring at full speed, flying toward the core area.

The abyssal bomb bees in the surroundings were charging forward at full speed and diving into the explosion. Yet, it was astonishing because the ball of fiery light was still moving regardless of how the bees blasted it. It continued to move inward. Puffs of grayish airflow diffused into the surroundings continuously and flowed toward the abyss.

The direction of the gray airflow became A Ruheng’s guide. He was following it to its destination.

Under the Bee Monarch’s command, the surrounding abyssal bomb bees transformed into mighty torrents which slammed into A Ruheng. Nonetheless, the effort was futile. It only caused the gray airflow around A Ruheng to become stronger. Soon, it turned into a dense, black mist ball flying toward the northernmost core area.

In the abyssal passage, the Bee Monarch’s eyes, much larger than an ordinary person’s, were flickering with radiance frequently. Each single eyelet in her eyes glowed on its own. It looked like there were thousands of stars in her eyes. However, the expression on her face was now filled with astonishment. She was incredulous over how a human body could actually withstand the blasting of so many bomb bees.

“What’s happening? Why is mankind’s defense so powerful?” The Bee Monarch was dumbstruck with bewilderment.

The Ghost Emperor was stunned as well. “Could it be a four-word battle armor? Based on his aura, I’d say that he has a Limit Douluo-ranked cultivation base at the very least. Yet, even the four-word battle armor will be ruined under the constant bombing. He is truly willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of reconnaissance.”

The Bee Monarch sneered loudly!

“I’d like to see how long he can sustain this!” She did not feel any remorse for sacrificing her disciples and granddisciples. The abyssal bomb bees ranked first out of the one hundred and eight levels of the abyss. As long as the abyssal energy was returned to the abyss, an equilibrium would be created whereby the abyssal bomb bees were resurrected and released from the eighth level of the abyss.

Each abyssal bomb bee’s attack was not that powerful, but the victim could not withstand a collective attack from all the bees!

More abyssal bomb bees had formed into mighty torrent streams in the sky under the instruction of the Bee Monarch. They burst forth with a green glow that made them look like light pillars. They swarmed and surged toward A Ruheng promptly.

Yet, the only visible change was the density and extent of the dark clouds surrounding A Ruheng’s body. He remained focused at following the ball of black mist steadily regardless of how the bees were blasting at him. In fact, he even charged at the abyssal passage despite being enshrouded by the ball of black mist.

The Bee Monarch discovered that she was incapable of locking down the target because the abyssal energy around his body was growing too dense. The opponent was beyond belief.

The bombing was halted temporarily. Meanwhile, the screen display at the command post had turned black. They could not see anything.

The screen went from white to black, tainted with a faint golden glow. They could see that the ball of incredibly dense grayish airflow was moving swiftly via the other long-range soul viewer.

Both sides were in a confused state. What was happening there?

At present, A Ruheng did not show any signs of slowing down. The abyss’ side could not refrain themselves anymore. Silhouettes rose into the sky at high speed and headed straight for A Ruheng. The abyssal creatures could not understand mankind’s combat tactics but the Holy Spirit Cult could!

Nevertheless, they were well aware of the reason why mankind’s legion was in a rush to reconnoitre and their subsequent action after the reconnaissance.

Hence, stopping the reconnaissance was the crucial strategy since the commencement of the battle.

Actually, they were not in a rush. The longer they waited, the more abyssal creatures would come out from the abyssal passage. They were just waiting for the opportune moment.

The Holy Spirit Cult was almost certain that victory or defeat would be decided in the final battle between both sides. Basically, the entire Douluo Federation’s army had already assembled here. The advantage of gathering the entire force was that they could halt the abyssal plane’s invasion. On the flip side, if they failed to resist the abyssal plane, then the entire continent would be annihilated.

Consequently, the federal military was vigilant. So was the abyssal plane. Both sides would not reveal their trump cards without being absolutely certain of victory.

The silhouettes that flew out to stop A Ruheng were mainly from the two clans, Mo Mei and the Black Empress. These clans were exceedingly powerful in their individual fighting capacities. Also, they were especially skilled in aerial combat.

Tens of Black Empresses and Mo Mei crowded around the target. Vortices appeared in the sky and began to absorb the dense abyssal energy in the air rapidly. They could only continue the attack after locating the target.

However, it was also at this exact moment when an incredibly dense dark cloud hundreds of meters in diameter suddenly changed.
