Three hours have passed.

The street was now battered and bruised.

The monstrous fish lay on the ground, its scales completely stripped, lifeless.

The Black Deacon sat beside the fish, panting heavily:

"Finally, it’s done."

He looked towards his nearby comrades.

Thankfully, most of the extraordinary beings from the City Defense Bureau were seriously injured, but no one had died in battle.

The Black Deacon managed a weak smile and made a victory gesture towards his comrades:

"We won, you guys did well."

The comrades also smiled.

The ambulances finally arrived, beginning to lift the wounded onto the vehicles or give emergency treatment on the spot.

The process was arduous, but thankfully the outcome was favorable.

The Black Deacon wobbled as he got to his feet, putting the headset on his ears:

"Director An, you owe me a vacation."

An Dacheng from the City Defense Bureau wiped away his sweat and smiled:

"Alright, you’ve done a great deed.

Once we enter the ruins and retrieve the treasures, you’ll definitely have a share."

At this moment, the middle-aged woman beside An Dacheng suddenly looked terrified, collapsing onto the ground and pointing outside the window, trembling non-stop.

An Dacheng frowned as he looked outside the window, his entire face turning blank, and the phone slipped from his hand.

In the sky, from the black rift, another monstrous fish stuck out its head.

Soon after, more and more monstrous fish swam out of the rift.

The sky seemed to have turned into a lake, becoming a new home for those creatures.

One monstrous fish already made the City Defense Bureau exert all its strength, what about hundreds of these monstrous fish?

An Dacheng remembered a movie called ’Han River Monster’.

The monster in the Han River destroyed the entire city, and the troops had to be deployed to barely suppress it.

In the past, he thought, what if an army was made up of Han River monsters, would they be invincible?

Now he faced that scenario.

Those terrifying monstrous fish, much more terrifying than the Han River monster!

An Dacheng suddenly recalled what Cao Yi had said.

Creatures from beyond would descend to the mortal world through space rifts, and those monsters would annihilate South Korea!

An Dacheng muttered:

"The apocalypse... has really arrived?"

His expression was complicated, he even started to regret not listening to Cao Yi’s words.

Human advanced weaponry had no effect in front of the monsters. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

These monsters were fully capable of annihilating South Korea!

If he had believed Cao Yi’s words, even without collaborating with the Security Administration, had they made defensive preparations earlier, the situation wouldn’t be as dire now!

Cryings of agony rose again from below.

In the face of the monsters, humans were like red worms regarded as food by ornamental fish, with no strength to resist.

The extraordinary ones had already exhausted their spiritual power, no different from ordinary people in front of the monsters.

Those monstrous fish were devouring civilians and extraordinary beings, even the Black Deacon wasn’t spared.

"Disaster, disaster, the apocalypse..."

The middle-aged woman murmured, repeating these words.

"Boom!"

A monster set its sight on the City Defense building, roaring as it charged, smashing the tallest intelligence agency building in South Korea.

...

Xia Country, Security Administration.

"The black rift that appeared in South Korea is about thirteen miles long, with the widest part about five miles wide.

Moreover, the rift is continuously expanding..."

In the director’s office, Zhou Ziyi was reporting.

Cao Yi’s brows furrowed deeply.

The black rift that appeared in South Korea is much larger than the one that appeared in the Northeast of Xia Country.

It was like comparing a small fish to a big carp.

Cao Yi rubbed his forehead:

"Could the rift that appeared in the Northeast just be a scout troop from the Celestial Race?

After obtaining information about Blue Star, did the Celestial Race begin sending large troops?"

After reporting, Zhou Ziyi said seriously:

"Director Cao, you returned at the right time.

According to our intelligence, Capital City is already in ruins, barely any survivors."

After Zhou Ziyi finished speaking, she handed a document to Cao Yi:

"The Celestial Race descended too quickly, South Korea had almost no time to react.

It seems South Korea is about to become history."

Cao Yi looked at the document, it was about the current dire situation in South Korea.

The speed at which these monsters moved was very fast, even far surpassing airplanes.

South Korea, being not very large, quickly faced an all-out monster attack once its capital fell.

Even some powerful extraordinary beings were as fast as airplanes, let alone those Tier Four monsters?

Zhang Xiaoyi could fly from Shu Mountain to the Northeast in ten minutes.

Imagine, those monsters, like wreaking armored weapons, having that kind of speed, South Korea was effectively waging an internal war without any defense.

The defeat was inevitable.

Some survivors in the border cities of South Korea are requesting to enter Xia Country for sanctuary.

Everyone knows that Xia Country was the first place where Spiritual Energy Revival occurred, and many believe it is the only country that can combat monsters.

The upper-class officials are actively discussing and reviewing the tragedy in South Korea.

Cao Yi lit a cigarette and exhaled a deep breath.

Since becoming the Director of the Security Administration, his smoking has increased a lot.

It seems like only smoking can give him a proper breath.

Zhou Ziyi continued:

"There’s one more thing."

Cao Yi said:

"Speak."

Zhou Ziyi said:

"The internet is filled with videos about the Seven Commandments Association."

Cao Yi nodded.

This was not unexpected.

A few days ago, the Seven Commandments Association started creating an uproar with their doomsday talk, and now the disaster in South Korea undoubtedly confirms their prophecy.

The Seven Commandments Association had already demonstrated miracles in Huaqi early on.

The Fallen Angel descended and subdued demons.

With angels in their sect, under the doomsday rhetoric, their number of believers will surely rise sharply.

...

South Sea, Half-Mountain Villa.

A seductive woman in black silk high heels was in Li Yang’s room.

She is Chen Yuqi, a Fallen Angel.

A Fallen Angel can convert the Power of Faith for the Death God into Soul Power, strengthening the soul of the Death God.

The number of believers in the Seven Commandments Association is increasing, and so are those who worship the Death God.

Especially after the disaster in South Korea, many people, even if they did not join the Seven Commandments Association, knew about the Death God as a deity.

The Power of Faith collected by Chen Yuqi grew several times over.

After receiving the Power of Faith from Chen Yuqi, Li Yang’s soul became unprecedentedly strong.

"The Soul Power can still grow, but my Spiritual Power cannot advance any further."

Li Yang lit a cigarette, muttering softly in frustration.

Ever since becoming Tier Seven, his Sea of Spirit seemed to have reached its limit, unable to grow any further.

Now, with the Celestial Race already starting their invasion and his cultivation stagnant, Li Yang was getting anxious.

The door was pushed open, and a female voice came in.

"Because Tier Seven is the limit for an Extraordinary, to break through Tier Seven, you can’t just rely on cultivating Spiritual Power."

Only two people would enter without knocking, one was Suzu, and the other was Meng Yu.

Only Meng Yu could say such insightful words.

Li Yang wasn’t angry that Meng Yu didn’t knock; he was used to it. He turned to look at Meng Yu:

"Go on."

Meng Yu looked at Chen Yuqi.

Chen Yuqi had never met Meng Yu, but could feel the surging power emanating from her.

If she met Meng Yu on the street, she’d certainly be shocked.

But here in the Death God’s abode, encountering some strong Extraordinary individuals was not surprising.

Li Yang said:

"Don’t mind her, keep talking."

Meng Yu said:

"Actually, it’s no secret what I’m about to say.

You’ve lost too many memories, otherwise I wouldn’t need to speak to you about it."

Chen Yuqi was secretly astonished by these words.

The Death God has lost his memory?

Then who is this woman?

Is she also a deity?

Meng Yu said:

"There are two Extraordinary individuals who surpassed Tier Seven.

One is the Elder Zhang from our era.

When Elder Zhang was at Tier Seven, he comprehended the Path of Inviting Gods.

He could borrow the power of other deceased strong individuals to temporarily gain Tier Eight cultivation."

Li Yang knew who Meng Yu was referring to as Elder Zhang; Meng Yu had mentioned him before.

Elder Zhang was the Director of the Security Administration during their time.

Meng Yu said:

"The other is Chairman Meng.

He comprehended the True Demon Dao, which allowed him to transform into a monster.

With the body of a monster, he possessed the power of Tier Eight."

Li Yang raised an eyebrow and asked:

"Isn’t Meng Xing Tier Nine?"

Meng Yu thought for a moment and said:

"He is Tier Nine; as for how he became Tier Nine, no one really understands.

I just wanted to say, if you want to break through Tier Eight, you can’t rely on cultivating Spiritual Power, but must use other means."

Meng Yu walked over to Li Yang’s side and said seriously:

"Your soul has already become overwhelmingly strong, perhaps cultivating the soul is the key to your breakthrough to Tier Eight."
