On the desolate land, towering black trees, hundreds to thousands of meters tall, stretched out their leafless branches, resembling mountain peaks amidst the dense black fog.

Amongst these towering trees stands a Divine Mountain, with a diameter of several hundred kilometers, and even after being severed at the mountainside, it remains ten thousand meters high.

On the mountain is a magnificent and ancient castle, its architecture belonging to the Celestial Demon Era, with the city walls engraved with Demon Patterns, still shining across eternity despite their roughness.

At this moment, the guardians of this Battle City checkpoint, two legendary powerhouses and nine Tier Seven Saint-level powerhouses, received a remote transmission from the Celestial Punishment Headquarters in the real world.

Soon, a Demigod Powerhouse inheriting from the Giant Beast Era will pass through, and they are advised not to panic.

This information caused everyone sitting at various posts in the Battle City to pause.

Having guarded the boundary of Realm Abyss for years, with the help of the city's array, they've slain countless ruinous monsters, even managed to suppress Demigod-tier monsters.

Previously, when the Expeditionary Corps entered Realm Abyss, they even met the Lord of Celestial Punishment, feeling the might of a True God.

With their strength and 'insight,' how could they be frightened by a passing Demigod? Nonetheless, the people below should be informed.

From the Central Divine Hall, a gentle and steady voice announced: "In half a day, a Demigod from our division will pass through; do not panic then."

According to the Guardian's estimation, a Demigod crossing the ruins would normally take about half a day to reach here.

"Demigod?"

"Didn't all Tier Eight and above powerhouses in the real world enter Realm Abyss? Where would Celestial Punishment get a Demigod?"

Thousands of Transcendents operating the Celestial Demon Array paused, looking up toward the Central Divine Hall, with someone even exclaiming in surprise.

However, although there was some commotion, attention soon shifted to another matter.

"Beep beep!! All main battle units be alert, detected a large cluster of polluted creatures ahead, prepare for monster impact."

Everyone's expressions immediately tensed, quickly returning to their stations, with one Tier Eight powerhouse and five Tier Seven Saints appearing on the frontline wall.

Other Transcendents filled Energy Stone into array cores and operated Ancient Weapons.

Additionally, mechanically-triggered tactical nuclear weapons and tactical hydrogen bombs were moved from storage, ready to be deployed by power unleashing forces as needed.

Rumble! Rumble! In the tense anticipation, the forest beneath the mountain shook, the black mist churned.

Soon, hundreds of dread creatures, each tens to hundreds of meters long, emerged, the majority exuding powerful Tier Five and Six aura.

Among these gigantic monsters were many fleeting shadows, each showing Tier Six energy fluctuations in the probing array.

These high-level ferocious creatures are even more troublesome than those large beasts.

Before these creatures launched an initial assault, the black mist behind them revolved once more.

A colossal red light column, tens of meters in diameter, shot forth like a crimson Divine Sword, annihilating everything, emanating legendary energy waves.

Boom! The grand, towering red light column traversed over twenty kilometers, crashing onto the thousand-meter-high city walls of Battle City, emitting dazzling brilliance.

The violent explosion impact caused the ancient city wall to tremble, with black and red Demon Patterns glowing on its surface, forming a vast red light screen blocking the beam.

The explosion' light scattered the black mist ahead, revealing a thousand-meter-high mountain giant, its body forged from gray stone, with its red eye at its brow flashing with destructive light.

The beam earlier was fired from the giant's eye.

Behind that one-eyed giant, tens of thousands of devil-like creatures with bat wings hovered, resembling dark clouds obscuring the sky, creating a formidable scene.

The blue-haired middle-aged man standing on the city wall appeared grave: "Tier Eight Peak, quite troublesome."

The battlefield periodically faced monster impacts, sometimes a few, sometimes tens of thousands forming monster tides.

Monsters below Tier Eight were easy to deal with; utilizing Celestial Demon Era's restriction arrays quickly annihilated them.

The troublesome part was dealing with Tier Eight Demon God wicked beings, even with legendary powerhouses operating the Celestial Demon Slaughter Array, the energy consumed in eliminating them was painfully high.

"Prepare the arrows, first eliminate those gigantic creatures to prevent wall damage."

Buzz!! On the city wall, thousands of ten-meter-long black light arrows emerged, their tips exuding keen sharpness.

But at this moment, piercing alarm red lights emitted from four probing high towers in Battle City, followed by a somewhat panicked voice booming across the city.

"Trouble, detected Demigod-tier energy wave behind, strength Late-tier Nine, rapidly nearing the battlefield..."

"Wrong, energy strength Tier Nine Peak, Tier Nine Peak... wait, God! It's God-tier!!"

Bang! Bang!

Two fully activated probing towers exploded, and that hopeless voice yelling 'God-tier' echoed throughout the battlefield, resounding for hundreds of kilometers.

"What!"

"God-tier!"

"There's a True God-tier monster behind."

"Could it be a revived Ancient Demon God!?" In an instant, everyone felt their scalp tingle, consciousness roaring, faces filled with dread, looking towards the rear of the battlefield.

The battlefield's probing distance was a thousand kilometers, and the stronger the energy wave the farther the detection range.

Just after the voice shouting 'God-tier' fell, everyone felt the ground behind shaking, soon the black mist dispersed, a figure massive as a mountain darting forth.

Before that enormous and sinister figure, everything shattered, whether the mountain-high black trees or actual mountains.

All were smashed apart.

The speed was so fast that everyone hadn't had time to react before that massive figure flitted past from the mountain base, crossed the monster tide before them, vanished beyond the land's end.

Once that terrifying figure disappeared, deafening rumblings and destructive shock waves erupted.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A body over fifteen hundred high traveled at hundredfold sonic speed, bringing forth a terrifying impact, directly forming a hundred-kilometer wide destruction path.

The dust blown by the gale further cloaked the sky, forming a smoke wall stretching across the heavens and earth.

Witnessing this left the Transcendents on the city walls in a prolonged daze, while the two legendary powerhouses, drenched in sweat, looked fearfully towards the direction where the figure disappeared into Realm Abyss.

As for the monsters ready to assault the battlefield, all were turned to ashes in the shock wrought by that creature.

Including that Peak Tier Eight mountain giant!

"Giant Beast Era inheritance, Demigod, old Chen, was that shadow earlier possibly..." The Tier Eight powerhouse on the wall suddenly swallowed, somewhat amazed.

"Probably... yes." The youth appearing out of thin air on the city wall seemed uncertain.

Although they spoke uncertainly, deep down they already had the answer, no wonder Celestial Punishment Headquarters's transmission told them not to panic.

There was indeed no panic, just some fear.
