Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 526: Chapter 374: Entering the Land of Chaos (2)

At the moment before entering the Space Gate, Lin Feng couldn’t help but turn his head to glance in the direction of his family.

At this moment, Lin Feng’s figure appeared in the light curtain.

Lin Feng didn’t stop his steps, nor did he find his family’s image, but he knew that his family could see him.

He smiled and waved towards his family’s direction, then turned and entered the Land of Chaos.

Among the crowd, Lin Fang and the others let tears fall, but just like everyone else, pressed their right hand to their chest, and shouted with all their might:

”Glory!”

”Glory!”

”Glory!”

As they watched the continuously disappearing figure, the shouts grew louder and louder.

When everyone disappeared, the shouts did not cease. The continuous shouting had made their voices hoarse, yet they still cried out hysterically, ”Return in triumph!”

When everyone’s figure disappeared into the Space Gate, the live broadcast on the light curtain and the television was cut off, leaving only a line of white characters: ”They are still fighting desperately, what right do you have to give up!”

They are still fighting desperately, what right do you have to give up!

This line of fourteen characters held no grand reasoning, yet it caused many people’s hearts to tremble slightly.

In recent days, due to the merging of Other-dimensional Space Gates, society was in turmoil.

Facing the imminent war, many chose to lie flat, loaf around, waiting for death, indulging in a premature enjoyment of life.

At this moment, some of these people stared blankly at this line of characters, their eyes filled with shame.

Yes indeed!

Others are fighting hard; what right do they have to give up on themselves?

At this moment, many parents, looking at their decadent children, stepped forward and gave them a harsh slap!

Some even packed their belongings and drove their idle children out of the house.

Many who had planned to resign and enjoy life returned to their companies with a sense of shame and continued to work.

After everyone had entered the Space Gate, Hong Tao and the other two turned around, looking at the flickering Space Gate, with different expressions in their eyes.

”Sigh.”

Extraordinary Powerhouse Xie Chun sighed.

They could also enter the Land of Chaos, but as Emperors, they didn’t need to take this risk.

If their power were suppressed, they might also fall.

The fall of an Emperor would have too great an impact; now Hua Country has only a dozen or so Emperors.

”Has Yu Jing and Fu Bohong arrived yet?” Hong Tao asked Xie Chun.

”Old Fu will come, but he said it would take another two days. Yu Jing needs to suppress the Space Gate, and it’s not peaceful there, so he might not be able to leave.”

Yu Jing and Fu Bohong are among the Thirteen Emperors.

If the Key retrieval fails, the Land of Chaos could be invaded by the Alien Race, and the Three Great Emperors can’t guarantee absolute safety.

”What’s the response from the ’Pure Land’?”

Hong Tao continued to ask.

The merging of the Space Gate this time concerns the entire world, and if Pure Land assists, it will undoubtedly be more assured, and Shangjing would be safer.

Xie Chun’s expression showed helplessness, saying: ”No response. Until it’s the last moment of life and death, they probably won’t act.”

Upon hearing this, Hong Tao showed no expression, as if he had already expected this.

Each of the Twelve Celestial Kings of Pure Land has a strength no less than his own. If they could act, the pressure of this Space Gate merger would be much less.

The Thirteen Emperors of Huaxia each have their responsibilities and cannot be easily moved, and other Emperors also have their own interests.

They have not received tributes, so they aren’t obliged.

Even the country can only negotiate, not command.

”The Space Gate has merged, and it’s not the moment of life and death yet?”

Hong Tao sneered, his tone laced with sarcasm.

”This time three Apostles have entered the Land of Chaos, which also represents Pure Land’s attitude.” Xie Chun said.

Hong Tao chuckled: ”The 24 Apostles, although ranked just below the Celestial Kings, are no big deal if they die. The Kings won’t truly be heartbroken. New Apostles will soon emerge. Apostles do not represent Pure Land’s stance. And among these three in the Apostles, they are merely at the bottom.”

To the Emperors, Kings are nothing.

In Hua Country, there are five to six hundred Kings, but less than twenty Emperors.

Among the 24 Apostles, only three could really command his attention.

Although those three are just Apostles, two are already Emperors, and one, although not an Emperor, possesses strength comparable to an Emperor.

If any Celestial King were injured or perished, these three might replace them and become new Celestial Kings.

”Having some is better than having none, even a bottom-tier Apostle is stronger than an average King!”

Xie Chun said, and Hong Tao remained silent, not refuting.

Xie Chun’s eyes flickered slightly, as if hesitating, but finally, she still looked at Hong Tao and asked:

”This time letting the Spirit Medium enter the Land of Chaos, what are your plans?”

The Spirit Medium is a war machine, the best tool for developing Other-dimensional Space Gates.

The success of the Hong Family’s development is not only due to Hong Tao being an Extraordinary Powerhouse enjoying privileges; the Spirit Medium also played a significant role.

The Spirit Medium is very strong.

But this Key retrieval is extremely dangerous, facing various Alien Race geniuses and powerhouses, even the Spirit Medium has a high probability of perishing.

If the Spirit Medium perishes, Sha Mi would break free, and at that time, they would certainly slaughter humans massively.

Moreover, if the Spirit Medium were found, the Alien Races would specifically hunt it down.

”Plans? Why the need for asking when you already guessed?”

Hong Tao smiled at Xie Chun, the seemingly kind smile carrying a trace of coldness.

Xie Chun’s expression changed slightly, her heart somewhat cold.

Facing Hong Tao’s gaze, she subconsciously shifted her eyes.

Hong Tao, with dark skin and a burly figure, wearing gray plain clothes, looked more like an old farmer who had tilled the land for years than an Emperor, seemingly honest and simple, yet with a mind more ruthless than everyone else’s.

Hong Tao’s response already verified her speculation.

At this moment, the Spirit Medium was akin to a bomb.

A bomb that could explode at any time.

If the Key retrieval fails, Hong Tao might set off the bomb.

Once a Celestial Chart Demon Beast is detonated, space will collapse, most there will die.

Including Hong Tao’s son, Hong Li.

Hong Li, a Martial King powerhouse, is also one of Shangjing’s Guardians.

This should be the reason behind Hong Tao’s order of one-way entry.

If no one knew the truth, it wouldn’t dishearten them.

Even if someone speculates, if even Hong Tao’s own son sacrifices, no one else dares to say much.

The soldiers have already accepted the inevitability of death.

Yet among those one thousand volunteers, over half are composed of geniuses and Kings.

Peerless Lin Feng, Thorny Demon Dragon Ye Qiu, Half-beastman Yun Kai, Six-armed Celestial Demon Zhan Tianyu..... one by one, super geniuses, representatives of the younger generation.

And the Guardians of each major Base City, Yang Qing of Shangjing, King Venerate of Shanghai, each one a King, flag bearers of the Glory Race, all potentially future Emperors.

If these people died, there would be a gap among the powerhouses.

Clearly, faced with the impending alien invasion, Hong Tao no longer cares about these geniuses.

When war truly breaks out, geniuses are merely cannon fodder.

But these people represent major forces and consortiums nationwide; if they all die, even they would have to face enormous pressure.

Xie Chun looked at Hong Tao, with a somewhat wary gaze.

Even willing to sacrifice his own son, Hong Tao is indeed ruthless enough.

The always silent Martial Emperor Chen Tiangeng’s complexion also changed, wanting to speak, but ultimately said nothing.

If the Key is truly seized by the Alien Race, this indeed is one way.

A way to instill terror in the Alien Race.

Yet this way is too brutal.

But compared to all-out war with the Alien invasion, this sacrifice is instead the smallest.

However, to him, such sacrifice only stalls for more time and doesn’t change the situation.

Seeing the complex expressions of Xie Chun and the others, Hong Tao remained unchanged, indifferent.

Daring to act this way, he naturally had his backing.

”Don’t look at me with such eyes; this is only the last step. Perhaps we could still obtain the Key.”
